In troubled times, it is naturally very chaotic.
Even the Li family of the royal family came from a wealthy family, but when they came to Beijing, it was noisy and there were many cases.
There are too many people robbing merit, gold, silver, treasure, land, women, and houses.
All kinds of competition among military generals, aristocratic families, and powerful families, even the royal family ended in person.
The first emperor was so generous that he simply took back most of the houses and rewarded them again.
Every time the dynasty changes, the owners of the houses in the inner city at the foot of the imperial city have to change. Few of them are bought with money, and most of them are robbed and rewarded.
Zhao Guogong robbed several mansions back then, some were given to his subordinates, some were given to the treasury, and the late emperor gave them back to the meritorious officials, but one was left out.
Then the first emperor gave him another house, and now he has replaced it with a bigger one after he ascended the throne. The house that has been hiding all this time has been forgotten.
Until the seventh year of Dazhen, Zhao Guogong's house was unstable. After drinking, Zhao Guogong bald and said that he would give the house to his third son, but the third son was a concubine.
Aunt Zhao was unhappy, and after a fight with Duke Zhao, she went to the palace to cry with the queen.
At that time, the queen happened to be ill and the prince was young and vigorous, so he couldn't see it. He didn't want these things to disturb the queen, and he and Aunt Zhao's youngest son, Zhao Silang, were even better, so he simply dragged Zhao Silang to find him. His uncle wanted to snatch the house from him, so that his aunt wouldn't have to go into the palace to find his mother.
As a result, he took Zhao Silang to the garden, and at the beginning he praised the plum blossoms in this garden. When he was about to continue the next sentence, "I am in harmony with my cousin's temperament", Uncle Zhao Guo, who was suffering from a headache at that time, seemed to immediately After finding a solution, he immediately gave the house to the prince.
This is the only house in Chongyuan Square, and he has five sons, besides the eldest son, there are four more. It is not good to give it to anyone, just give it to the prince.
Because of this farce, Zhao Guogong was impeached by the censor at that time.
Two charges, one is restlessness at home;
The second is to seduce the prince.
Zhao Guogong was also from the army. Originally, when he sent the prince's house, he wanted to get rid of the farce at home, and the prince didn't really want to accept it.
As a result, this one was impeached, and both of them lost their temper.
Zhao Guogong thought, what's wrong with me giving my nephew a house, if I am willing, I can also give ten houses.
But the prince thought, what happened to a house I took over from my uncle? Why is it alluring
So one insisted on giving it away, and the other wanted to take it away. The uncle and nephew were both willing, but they even ran to the court hall to sneer at the censor, and finally made the censor sick from anger. He was also sent out of Beijing by the emperor to find a reason.
And so it became famous.
Lord Tang smiled and said: "Duke Zhao has many sons, including the concubines. Not all of them agree with the crown prince. The house on Daze Road is not bad. If Duke Zhao separates his family in the future, except for the eldest son, everyone else will definitely go out. Yes, this place to live is very particular.”
Because of this house, several princes in Zhao Guogong's mansion have objections to the crown prince. If they knew that Man Bao had received the reward, he would turn around and sell it, and he would be very angry.
The dignitaries, aristocratic families, nobles, and humble officials in Beijing all have their own places to live. Where you live means which part you belong to. Sometimes people's psychology is so subtle.
For example, the nobles headed by Su Guogong live in Yongchongfang, which is next to Chongyuanfang, and they are not far away;
In order to disgust Wei Zhi, His Majesty specially gave him a house next door to Su Guogong's mansion. A loud voice and an admonisher happened to be in the same place. Wei Zhi was so angry that he ran to Anlefang and rented a house to live in. with.
Officials from poor families of the common people in the court like to gather and live in Anle Fang.
Later, Wei Zhi had more children and grandchildren, and the number of people in the family was too large to live in. In addition, he swallowed his breath, and then returned to live in the house bestowed by His Majesty, but that was also the past two years, and the house was empty Seven or eight years.
And the dignitaries, such as the princess mansion, the prince's mansion, etc., are scattered in Changlefang and Xingningfang.
Chongyuanfang is mostly lived by aristocratic families, besides Guangdefang, where people flock together, the crown prince gave this house to Manbao, and I don’t know if it is to promote her or to disgust the people he wants to disgust .
Mr. Tang often visited their house in Changqing Lane, knowing that their family is free and unrestrained, so he said with a smile: "When you move in, you don't have to invite many people to warm the house, just invite some people you know. Let’s all eat and eat freely.”
Yang Heshu also nodded, "Give us a post when the time comes."
He also felt that Man Bao and the others should not get too close to the people in the workshop at this time, as it would have a bad influence on them in the future.
Aristocratic families all respect rules, but sometimes the rules are not so easy to keep.
Bai Shan knows this very well. Although Longzhou doesn't have much memory, he still vaguely remembers some things about how he behaved when he was a child.
After entering the capital, Mrs. Liu didn't let him live with her, because she didn't want to restrain him. But in fact, Mrs. Liu has been very tolerant now, if the Longzhou family lived together in one place, it would be impossible for Bai Shan to go in and out with only one lucky person.
Knowing that the house could not be sold, Man Bao began to actively plan for the move.
Of course, she was busy, and everyone was not free, so Bai Shan and the others could only go to Daze Street to tidy up after school in the afternoon.
Man Bao is the master, so after some pushback from everyone, she decided to live in the main courtyard. Of course, she didn't live alone, she invited Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru to live together.
The two sisters readily agreed, so they also chose a room they liked to occupy.
Mr. Zhuang took a look around and felt that the study room in the front yard was the best. In the whole yard, the main yard is the study room. Make it into a tea room and a place for class, so that it is spacious, comfortable, and life is more convenient.
So, when Daji was free, he began to move beds and some shelves and other things there, all of which they had bought before.
Man Bao also invited Mrs. Liu to live with the Bai family brothers.
Man Bao said: "There are too few people, the house is so big, it will be lively when there are many people living there."
She said: "Fortunately, there are small kitchens in each yard inside. Once the door is locked, it is a separate house, and everyone can live independently."
Wu Wulang and the others have no objections, because even if they live in, they will eat in restaurants and don't worry about it at all.
Zhou Lixue and the others can cook simple meals themselves. Anyway, as long as there are rice and vegetables, the children of the old Zhou family will not go hungry.
But Bai Erlang was dumbfounded, and asked: "Then what should my elder brother and I do, we don't know how to cook."
Mrs. Liu heard that they had already begun to assign who would cook and who would wash the dishes, so she couldn't help but said: "You guys are short on time, besides studying, you also have to study medicine and copy books every day. How can you have so much time to be busy?"
She smiled and said, "Leave the kitchen to me, and we'll eat together in the future."
