Jiangpu County is located in the northwest of the capital and is a major transportation route connecting several provinces. It is far away from the capital through the Yangtze River. Its geographical location is very important and has always been known as the West Gate of Jinling.

The county town in Jiangnan has a long history, rich literary style, and many famous places and historical sites. All year round, merchants and tourists pass by the county town, which is very prosperous. Moreover, over the years, the imperial court has successively fought dozens of wealthy families from all over the country, and has bought land to build buildings and Guangyuan to purchase land, making the county town more prosperous.

Today, three young men in bright clothes and angry horses came by the other end of the river. They walked unscrupulously on the main street with a group of powerful slaves with weapons, which attracted everyone's attention.

Yu Xiaosi, the waiter at Huifeng Restaurant, was knowledgeable and developed a pair of golden eyes. He looked at the young master passing by the door. His eyes turned and said to the guests who were drinking with a smile: "See? That's the prince who is the first-class prince in the capital."

The guest was a silk merchant from Sichuan and said disdainfully: "Don't even think of lying to the turtle son. Are you bullying us for not seeing the world? We are obviously wearing the imperial flying fish suit of the Jinyiwei, so what is the prince and grandson?"

Yu Xiaosi laughed confidently and said, "Since the guest officials don't believe it, let's make a bet and bet on the money for the whole time."

The businessman held a wine bowl and smiled and said, "I'm Ge, do you want to make a fraud?! Everyone please help me with a testimony and bet."

Seeing this, several tables of guests around were clamoring, some of who were inclined to waiters and some of who were inclined to merchants. Yu Xiaosi said proudly: "Anyone who doesn't believe me must have been to the capital several times, right?"

The customers who tend to be merchants couldn't help but nodded. The merchants felt that they were about to lose, so they laughed and scolded: "Hurry up and say, if you say something clearly, you will immediately serve this money with both hands, and you will be considered to have gained knowledge and save yourself in Beijing and offend people in no way."

Yu Xiaosi immediately raised his thumbs up and praised: "You have extraordinary knowledge. You will definitely make a lot of money when you go to Beijing this time. Keep your usual loss not unfairly."

Yu Xiaosi looked up and smiled at the shopkeeper who was shaking his head and speechlessly, saying, "That little guy will tell everyone carefully. First of all, you probably don't know yet. Now no one of the Jinyiwei is qualified to wear flying fish uniforms. I'm going to say more about the reasons for the minor inconvenience. It's best not to inquire after entering Beijing. In short, the Jinyiwei is no longer the Jinyiwei.

Second, even in the past, the flying fish suit was not the exclusive wear of the Jinyiwei. Some of them were liked to wear it. The difference was very simple. Let’s look at the age. If you dare to wear flying fish suits to show off, you must be the princes and grandsons. As for the adult princes and grandsons, you are more stable, either wearing ordinary clothes or wearing a big red python robe to go out."

The merchant shouted in disbelief: "There are many young men and officials from aristocratic families who have been awarded the flying fish uniform by the court. Can they wear them out? I have seen many of them. You lost when you waiter."

Yu Xiaosi smiled and said, "When Xiao finished speaking, the third thing is that in our county town, there is a dignified Princess Mansion. The three princes and grandsons knew that they were not from far away. When they came to Jiangpu, they naturally wanted to visit the Princess Mansion. If you don't believe it, just send a follower to come over and take a look."

The merchant has been traveling around the country for many years and has a good eye. Combined with the waiter's analysis, he actually believed it in his heart, but he deliberately asked: "This is amazing. Which dynasty's eldest princess's mansion does not live in the capital, and will it move to you? Could it be that the previous dynasty's success?"

Yu Xiaosi lowered his voice and said, "It is the eldest son of the eldest princess of my dying, Princess Lin'an. The old prime minister, Li Shanchang, was the eldest son of the old prime minister. After the old prime minister got into trouble, the only son-in-law and two sons were spared from death. They were moved to the secluded residence of Jiangpu County. They didn't expect that the son-in-law was blessed and died in a depressed life within two years. Only the princess was left to raise the two sons alone. It was pitiful!"

"So that's it." How could the merchant not know that Li Shanchang, the founding hero, also sighed and took out his official treasure money and rewarded it to Yu Xiaosi.

The Princess Mansion is built on the west side street of the county town. There are no plaques hanging on the gate. It is not a local neighbor. Few people know that there is a princess living here. The entire mansion looks almost the same as that of ordinary wealthy families. There are three in and three out of the square white walls and green tiles courtyards.

The front sides of the door were covered with half a foot tall weeds, the vermilion-red paint on the door posts fell off, and the walls were mottled and covered with moss and ivy.

The two old father-in-law leaned listlessly against the door, their turbid old eyes slightly closed, and they dozed off.

The visitor was Xu Hao and Zhu Gaoxu and Mu Ang. Because Xu Hao remembered the instructions of King Yan Zhu Di, he came on a boat with them in a panic.

Zhu Di didn't seem to have much affection for this concubine's elder sister, but as a clan, he had to worry about it. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would have asked him if he was not easy to get along with, but Zhu Gaochi was inconvenient to his legs and feet and directly ordered Xu Hao to visit him.

When Xu Hao was curious, he went to the Zongren Mansion to check the files of the royal family jade disc. He acted on behalf of the King of Yan, and the officials of the Zongren Mansion did not dare to neglect it and showed it to him. It turned out that the biological mother of the eldest princess Lin'an was Concubine Sun, who had passed away from her daughter. Concubine Sun was second only to Empress Ma when she was alive. She was the concubine whom Zhu Yuanzhang married when Long Qian. Her adoptive father was Ma Shixiong, the marshal of Yangzhou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

As for the relationship between Ma Shixiong and Empress Ma, the records in the archives are vague. Xu Hao probably should have been associated with it, otherwise it would be too coincidental.

In this way, even if Concubine Sun and Empress Ma were cousins, it was normal for cousins ​​to marry a husband together in ancient times. When Xu Hao saw this, he couldn't help but think that it was normal for Qingshuang to marry her? It's still necessary to ask, it must be abnormal. How could two princesses marry a husband together in the same sister?

Of course, it is also Xu Hao's normal random thoughts, and the so-called ideological cheating is just an occasional act.

Princess Lin'an is the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty. She has her biological mother, Concubine Sun and Empress Ma, who are both spoiled at the same time. Just like Zhu Qiaoqiao, she is as noble as a concubine even if she is a concubine.

Back then, he married Li Qi, the eldest son of the second man of the meritorious, Li Shanchang. When the princess got married for the first time, the royal family attached great importance to it. Naturally, the scene was huge, which caused a sensation in the entire capital at that time.

After marriage, the couple was harmonious, and the son-in-law Li Qi was highly valued by Zhu Yuanzhang. Unfortunately, Li Shanchang and his family were wrongly killed later. If it weren't for the sake of their eldest daughter, Li Qi and her two sons would have been executed. At worst, the princess would just remarry others.

Li Qi unfortunately died of illness before the New Year and left behind two sons. Now the emperor is getting older and gradually has no energy to pay attention to all his children at all times. Princess Lin'an's status in his eyes is probably insignificant, let alone married! Zhu Yuanzhang is surrounded by cute and lively daughters. Now four or five young princesses are raised in the palace to live happily, and eight or nine married daughters live next to the Forbidden City and can meet in the palace at any time.

Concubine Sun and Empress Ma died one after another. Empress Ma's biological prince Zhu Biao also died of illness. The second son of the Qin King was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang for making mistakes repeatedly. He was low-key in order to keep the throne and didn't care about anyone. The third son of the Jin King Yuan had always had a bad bone in the fiefdom, and he was like taking medicine and eating. Therefore, except for the King of Yan, who claimed to be the fourth son of the emperor, in the Ming Dynasty, few people were worried about Princess Lin'an and sheltered her from the wind and rain.

Fortunately, Empress Ma has two biological daughters, Princess Ningguo, the second daughter of the emperor, and Princess Anqing, the fourth daughter of the emperor, often send letters to each other, and the ceremony is constantly on all seasons. This makes Princess Lin'an, who is widowed at home, comforts her and uses it to live a life.

The emperor's daughter has no worries about marriage, and no matter how miserable the fate is, she will have no worries about food and clothing. Therefore, Xu Hao has no feelings for this widow princess, and there is nothing else to do except sympathy.

Anyway, it was because of the fact that someone was entrusted to the loyal person. Xu Hao rode his horse to the outside of the mansion first. Zhu Gaoxu followed behind with a smile, and he had no feelings about it. With Zhu Gaoxu's violent and straightforward personality, in his opinion, everyone is brother. If he doesn't appear in a formal occasion, there is nothing to worry about in his identity.

"Wake up."

Xu Hao, who was rolling over and dismounting, frowned and said, the two old men in the door guard opened their old eyes. When they saw that the royal family members were wearing flying fish suits, they would not mistakenly think they were Jinyiwei. This was the old man's valuable experience, and he immediately trotted over with a smile.

Based on the purpose of spending money on the public, Xu Hao pointed to the clumps of weeds under the wall, and pointed out the incomplete tiles on the house, saying, "Let the in charge go to the clan mansion tomorrow, send some craftsmen to repair it, and then said that he was following the instructions of His Highness Yan."

"Yes, it's great." The old man suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. The two turned around and ran into the mansion together, calling for someone to go.

Zhu Gaoxu came over here casually and curled his lips, "I want to sue you for your own decision. No matter who told you, you don't discuss it with me first."

Xu Hao waved to him and said, "Go and go, play, I have never seen you do serious things."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately smiled and said, "It's all trivial matters and I'm not interested. When you follow me to Yanjing, I'll ask you to learn about my skills and take you to fight the Mongolians."

There was no one around, and Xu Hao couldn't help but say again: "How many times have you told you that the best way to control the barbarians is to control the barbarians. The Mongolian tribes that surrender around you should mainly provide pensions, and do not easily burn, kill, loot. After using Mongolian knights who are skilled in riding the rebellion in all directions, it will not be too late to settle the score in the autumn. Now you go to kill people and set fires, and you won't be able to raise your reputation. Who will be willing to die for you in the future?"

Zhu Gaoxu was not convinced and couldn't help saying, "You're always nagging. With my 100,000 elite troops in the Yan Prince's Mansion, I need to recruit those barbaric and ignorant Mongolian knights? It's better to slaughter them all."

Seeing that someone had come out, Xu Hao hurriedly said, "Let me go ahead and talk about it."

Mu Ang was already dazzled by hearing this, and pulled Zhu Gaoxu's sleeve to the side, whispering: "You must bring me with you when you go north. Can I be your personal soldier?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his head and small body and sneered, "You are the only one? No, stay at home and play with your maids."

Mu Ang suddenly became anxious and said angrily: "Why do you have to hold your brother-in-law to fight together? He is a scholar who is not as good as mine in martial arts."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "You can't compare to him. My brother likes to fight side by side with him. That's so satisfying. Do you dare to kill someone if you disagree?"

"Why don't you dare? Why don't you try me and see if I dare?" Mu Ang raised his chest, looking like he was not afraid of the world.

Zhu Gaoxu subconsciously pointed at the person who was riding a tall horse opposite, as if there were many servants surrounded by him, and said, "Go and beat him up, I will take you to war."

Mu Ang was also a tiger, regardless of his weak body and his weak body, immediately ran towards him with fierce eyes.

Xu Hao noticed that they were too late to hold Mu Ang, and was afraid that he would have a bad intention. He thought he would be a bad guy this time, so he immediately shouted: "Search you guys, let's go together."
