Zhu Yuanzhang was very moved after hearing this, and then rejected Zhu Qi's request and said with a smile:

"My son Zhu Qi really has the style of me back then! But it's not too late to follow your Uncle Xu to join the army until the wedding. I'll tell your mother now and let her make arrangements sooner!"

"ah?"

Zhu Qi was also angry and decided to retreat as he advanced. Anyway, he had to go to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, so he simply delayed the marriage in advance. When he arrived at the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, he found a beautiful girl he liked to cook rice and cooked it. With Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, he would definitely not refuse to admit it. After all, the people he would not offend the most was the people.

But unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang used a move to "get more and more".

That was really nothing. Zhu Qi came out of Zhu Yuanzhang and unexpectedly met Zhu Di. He was sneaking outside the palace wall and staring inside. When he saw his third brother coming out, he immediately said:

"San brother, are you going to propose marriage with your father? What do you say about the father?"

Zhu Qi smiled bitterly:

"The father said to speed up my pace and get married immediately, and then let me go north to Datong to train troops with Uncle Xu."

"Really?" Zhu Di said in a daze and said, "Take me, third brother! Take me with you!"

Zhu Qi's eyes rolled up. This younger brother is really a war crazier. Your brother and I are in dire straits, and you don't know how to comfort me.

But in fact, Zhu Qi also wanted to bring Zhu Di with him. He would not be bored with a younger brother along the way. Secondly, he has been in Hongwu and Ming Dynasty for so long, and the fourth and most important thing is that his fourth brother Zhu Di is the one who is most intimate with him. Thirdly, that is, Zhu Di is smart and easy to use. Fourthly and most importantly, his general is fake, and Zhu Di's general is real!

Zhu Qi didn't think about it for long and said in response:

"Okay, I'll go and say to my dad, take you with me, let's go and practice together."

When Zhu Di heard Zhu Qi say this, he immediately smiled happily, and then said:

"Ah, third brother, I've actually been to ask you out of the question just now. The girls from the noble families in Yingtian Mansion are going to go to Jiming Temple outside the city to burn incense and pray for blessings. The lady of the Xie family may also come. Since the third brother has never seen him, why not take a look at him secretly? What if it's not that ugly."

Zhu Di is indeed his good brother. He had just told him about his pain before. He had heard so much news in this moment. It would be a pity that this person would not do intelligence work.

"Okay! Let's go now!"

Zhu Qi said so.

———————

Jiming Temple was built in the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty and has a history of thousands of years from the Hongwu year.

When it was first built, it existed as a royal temple because it was popular to believe in Buddhism at that time. Even now, Zhu Yuanzhang believed in Buddhism.

But in Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty, Jiming Temple had already been open to the public, and there were endless pilgrims coming and going. Many people would come here to pray for blessings or fulfill their wishes. Some people who had just come to Yingtian Mansion to open their eyes and see them, and they were very popular.

Zhu Qi followed Zhu Di and the others to change their clothes, and then came to Jiming Temple without stopping. Before he could reach the entrance of the temple, he saw that there were carriages parked on the side of the road and the people who were bringing their families over, Zhu Qiren was stunned.

With so many people, where can I see the ladies from noble families immediately?

Zhu Di was also a little worried. It was his first time to come to Jiming Temple, so how could he know there were so many people here?

Zhu Qi sighed and said:

"We've come here, so let's take a trip. Go in and ask for a visa, worship Buddha, and then go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to play. I'm getting married soon, and there are not many days left to play."

Zhu Di listened to his third brother's last words as if he was dying, and his nose was sore. I won't say it anymore. Today, I, Zhu Di, treat you to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Zhu Qi no longer had hope. At this time, he took Zhu Di toward Jiming Temple and soon arrived at the place where he was asking for a visa. He saw an old Taoist sitting at the door of the temple, setting a table in front of him with a flag with four words "Telling fortunes and explaining fortunes".

As for why Taoist priests who tell fortunes and explain fortunes appear in monks' temples, this requires mentioning the traditional art of Chinese civilization. No matter any foreign culture, it can be quickly integrated into a style that fits the local area, and can be harmonious with the original Chinese culture as one family.

For example, Zhu Qi once saw such a news. On Christmas Eve, monks collectively brought apples to the nuns of the church, and a Taoist priest forwarded the news and liked it.

Harmony is the main theme of Chinese civilization.

Besides, this Taoist priest probably paid the entrance fee.

Zhu Qi and Zhu Di did not go to the line either. They were two of them in a queue after a while. The two brothers asked for a sign. In the past, they were not just signing for a sign or signing for a sign, but a poem or a sentence, and then someone would explain it to you.

The Taoist first took Zhu Di's signature and asked Zhu Di what he asked for. What else could Zhu Di ask for, such a little kid,? Of course, it was about fortune.

The Taoist priest read the signature with the signature. Zhu Qi didn't understand it anyway, so he started talking about the explanation.

The Taoist priest said that Zhu Di's fortune should have soared to the sky, but for some reason, it has become mediocre recently, as if someone has stolen the opportunity, but overall it is still good, so you should pay attention to two aspects.

First, you must act within your ability, be down-to-earth, and not be ambitious and pursue unrealistic goals; on the other hand, you must unite your brothers and sisters, and brothers work together to cut off gold. As long as you pay attention to the above two points, your fortune will naturally be smoother.

Zhu Di still seemed to believe in these things, so he nodded seriously, and Zhu Qi also handed over his signature.

A poem written on it:

There is a house deep in the white clouds,

There is a cloud in front of the hat shadow.

The moonlight is bright and no guests arrive,

Wang Sun listens to the tea under the flower.

When Zhu Qi looked at this signature, he felt a little confused and had no intention of expressing or suggesting emotions. Even the poems were inexplicable.

The Taoist priest saw the signature and said "huh" in confusion, then silently put the signature away, looked at Zhu Qi with a smile, his expression more respectful to Zhu Di than before, and asked:

"What do you want to ask?"

Zhu Qi immediately spoke, "Ask about marriage!"

The Taoist priest was stunned, touched his beard and smiled:

"Other young masters either ask about their luck or their future. Why do you ask about your marriage? With your face, you have no shortage of love luck."

Fortune? Future? I, a prince in Hongwu, still have to ask this? A distant future, Zhu Yunwen is on the stage and is about to start playing against his uncle. I just want to admit defeat and keep a low profile throughout the whole process. If Zhu Di comes to power and becomes Emperor Yongle, will I be different from being rich and prosperous?

Zhu Qi smiled and said, "Just ask about marriage."

The Taoist priest stopped talking and started talking nonsense. There was nothing special about it. He said that Zhu Qi had a good luck in peach blossoms and would definitely be a woman's future. Moreover, his wife was virtuous and kind, and would be his right-hand assistant.

Zhu Qi was so happy when he heard this. As for the authenticity, it was not very important. He paid the money to sign and gave some silver rewards. He was about to leave, but the Taoist priest looked at the silver rewards and said with a smile:

"Young Master is generous. I can see that the young master seems to have troubles. It's better for me to give you another word."

Zhu Qi didn't expect that the Taoist priest could see this, so he said:

"The words you sent can relieve my worries? Do you know what I'm up to?"

The Taoist priest touched his beard and said with a smile:

"Young Master asks about marriage, so naturally he is troubled by marriage. I will give you half a poem to you, which may help you solve your thoughts."

The Taoist priest paused and continued:

"The moths and willows are golden in color. The smiles are filled with fragrance. I searched for him for thousands of times. When I looked back, the man was in the dim light."

Zhu Qi was stunned, huh? Did this Taoist priest mean that I asked me to give up resisting and let it go?

Zhu Qi bowed his hand and said nothing more. When he turned around, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl standing in the place where the incense burned in front of him. The girl was wearing a colorful jacket and skirt, with two small braids, which was a relatively popular double flat bun. Several of them stood beside her. She looked like a wealthy lady.

Zhu Qi recognized the girl with a very beautiful appearance at a glance. Isn’t it the little maid behind Xu Zengshou who had seen before?

In fact, this little maid is Xu Miaoyun. She came with other ladies from noble families to burn incense and pray for blessings. Compared with other ladies, she was dressed in an ordinary dress and today she also had a very simple double flat bun. Compared with other ladies, she seemed to have more maids.

Wait, the little maids of the Xu family are here, following so many noble ladies. In other words, these noble ladies are the ladies of the noble ladies, so they come out to burn incense and pray for blessings!

Looking back suddenly, the man is in the dim light...

Zhu Qi said again, "Mom, that Xie family is among these ladies, right?" He is referring to Xie family, right? This Taoist priest is so accurate?"

Zhu Qi looked at the ladies one by one. The quality level was different. The key was that the little maid of the Xu family was there. It was really the pink and colorful of the six palaces! That little maid was so beautiful!

The noble ladies are not as beautiful as a little maid, it’s really ridiculous to open the door!

Zhu Qi felt more and more heartbroken the more he thought about it. Why did Xu Zengshou, who had such a beautiful maid? Why didn’t I have the King of Liao? If I had it, I would immediately take it in my room!

Zhu Qi felt that the Taoist priest had something, so he turned around and bowed to the Taoist priest and asked:

"What do you call Taoist priest?"

The Taoist touched his beard and smiled:

"I am the Taoist Xi Yingzhen, who is a Taoist from Bai Heguan. If you have something to do, come to Yingtian Mansion and temporarily stay with your disciple. The young master can also call me Ziyangzi."

"Teach your disciple?" Zhu Qi looked around and did not see any other Taoist priests, and this was a temple.

Xi Yingzhen saw that Zhu Qi was confused, raised her hand and pointed to a monk who looked forty years old in the distance, sitting on a cushion, chanting scriptures for the pilgrims, and said with a smile:

"My disciple is not a Taoist priest, but a monk. His name is Daoyan, right there."
