Tianwu Street, east of Nanjing City.

The originally cold place in the east of the city has now become the most high-end and prosperous place in Nanjing.

Those who can live around Tianwu Street are all high-ranking officials, nobles, princes, kings and titles. Most of the houses here are rewarded by Emperor Tianwu to meritorious ministers.

The carriage from the Xu Mansion slowly passed through the ridiculously wide street. Xu Mingwu lifted the curtain and looked at the surrounding environment curiously.

Here are luxury houses, surrounded by pink walls and green willows hanging around. There is a vermilion palace gate dozens of feet away. Outside each palace gate there is a pair of stone lions symbolizing their identity.

The carriage turned into the side alley and stopped in front of a small door under the shade of trees.

The corner door opened, and two women walked out with a bucket of slurry and poured it into the big bucket at the corner of the wall, with leftovers of soup.

Xu Mingwu smacked his lips and sighed: "As the saying goes, the rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen to death on the road. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't really understand the luxury of ancient nobles!"

In the carriage, Xu Mingwu shook his head and criticized the old society, with a righteous look. What disappointed him a little was that he had no frozen bones along the way.

The officer who released him on bail could not stand it anymore and whispered: "Second Young Master, this is Xu's Mansion, which is your home. It's time for us to enter the mansion..."

"Oh, is that?"

Xu Mingwu was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his head to look towards the front door. He saw four gilded characters "Pingyang Hou Mansion" written on the plaque.

He smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously: "From the appearance, the architectural style of this house is quite good, showing the characteristics of the times and has great historical and cultural value. In a few hundred years, it may be more valuable than the Prince Gong's Mansion. Well, it's not bad..."

The officer shook his head and sighed, not knowing how to communicate with people with brain diseases...

With a creaking sound, the side door was pushed open, and the servants and maids inside came out, all of whom said in surprise: "Welcome the Second Young Master back home!"

Xu Mingwu looked around curiously, crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, and stammered as if he didn't know how to return the gift.

Because among this group of people, there are several beautiful girls, and he has never had the resistance to such beautiful girls wearing Hanfu...

"Second Young Master, please!"

The housekeeper who had been waiting in the door had been bent and led the two into the mansion.

The subordinates stood by the road in a quiet voice, without any confusion, which made Xu Mingwu feel a little relieved.

As he walked in, Xu Mingwu was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, looking around, marveling at the magnificence in front of him.

There are three hanging flower gate towers in Xu Mansion, with hand-patterned veranda on all sides, with the corridors in the courtyard connected by mountains and rocks. The entire courtyard is elegant and luxurious, with a colorful garden, transparent and exquisite, and quite elegant.

Xu Mingwu couldn't help but admire the grandness of the ancient nobles, and his excited little heart was jumping all the time.

According to his idea, if this house was placed in later generations, it would have at least a dozen small goals!

When they arrived in front of the inner courtyard, the officers who were escorting all the way bowed and left without even leaving a name.

Xu Mingwu didn't care about so much. He continued to appreciate the scenery in the mansion, wandering around from time to time, without treating himself as an outsider at all.

When I looked back that day, I found that the butler who led the way had long disappeared. Instead, an aunt in her forties followed her and followed her.

"Damn!"

Xu Mingwu was startled, quickly took a few steps back, and said in surprise: "What are you?"

The aunt also looked surprised and walked up to her voice and said, "Second Young Master, why did you forget the little woman?"

Xu Mingwu was horrified: "Why did this cause a romantic debt?"

He couldn't help but curse the former owner of this body as a beast, and even the aunt didn't let him go!

Looking at the aunt who looked unhappy and eager to try, Xu Mingwu took a few more steps, forced a smile and said, "Auntie, you have something to say..."

The aunt gave him a blank look, with a little shyness on her face and said, "The second young master dares not call her little wife like this. The little wife is just a servant and dares not compete with the Marquis!"

Xu Mingwu was so stunned that he realized that he had said the wrong thing. In ancient times, the children of concubines called their biological mother Auntie. When he called "auntie" like this, he even made a misunderstanding!

However, Xu Mingwu could see that this aunt should be the servant who took care of him, and she was an old maid or wet nurse.

In the embarrassment, a gentle voice came from afar: "Mingwu is back, why don't hesitate to the aunt?"

Xu Mingwu turned his head and saw a noble lady wearing a big sleeve shirt walking towards her with a smile on her face.

This woman looks average and wears simple clothes, but the energy emitted from her body makes people see at a glance that this is a capable woman.

Xu Mingwu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and bowed deeply to the woman, and said, "I've seen the aunt!"

From the name "auntie" mentioned by the woman, Xu Mingwu has vaguely judged her identity and her own identity.

In ancient times, the aunt was the title of the concubine's legitimate mother by the concubine. If as expected, the woman should be the wife of Xu Qingshan, the Marquis of Pingyang, and Xu Mingwu, was born to the concubine of the cheap father.

Generally, when encountering this situation, Xu Mingwu can guess the plot below. His mother suppressed the concubine's son, and the concubine's son was so strong that he fought with him secretly. In the end, he caused the family to be restless, and he also experienced twists and turns and joy...

However, what surprised him was that the legitimate mother seemed to have no prejudice against her. She enthusiastically pulled her sleeves as soon as she met, looking left and right, and occasionally talking about whether she had been hungry and waiting for care in the past few days after leaving home, which was more intimate than her biological mother.

Xu Mingwu, who was confused, thought he had made a mistake in his judgment. After returning to his residence, he inquired about the exclusive follower and then learned about the situation in the Xu family.

Xu Qingshan, the Marquis of Pingyang, has a wife and one concubine, two sons and two daughters. His wife, Zhao, is the nickname Wumei, who is just now. He is Xu Qingshan's first wife and has one son and two daughters.

The concubine Liu, who is also Xu Mingwu's biological mother, gave birth to a son like him.

Unfortunately, in the smallpox virus that was prevalent in the 14th year of Tianwu, Xu Mingwu's biological mother Liu and his legitimate mother Zhao's two daughters were infected to death by the smallpox virus.

Smallpox is one of the oldest and most mortality-rate infectious diseases. It is highly contagious and has a serious condition. It was particularly rampant during the Ming and Qing dynasties, causing a large number of deaths.

The Tartar Qing Dynasty in history was plagued by smallpox and caused an astonishing mortality rate.

Nurhaci's second son, Prince Li, Daishan, had three sons of death from smallpox; Prince Ying Ajige, who had developed smallpox, was immune to smallpox, but both of his wives and concubines died of smallpox.

There is also Prince Yu Duoduo, who was killed by Xu Qingshan. In history, he was also infected during the epidemic of smallpox and stopped dishes at the age of 36.

The young emperor of Shunzhi gave birth to eight sons and six daughters, about four princes, and five princes disappeared before they lived to be eight years old, mainly because of smallpox.

Later, Kangxi, who was lucky enough to survive, left his face full of pockmarks after he recovered, and his scars were as scars as the surface of the moon. He was later called "Kang Mazi".

The Xuanye that Xu Mingwu saw that day was already a slutty face. I think this guy escaped another disaster.

During the smallpox epidemic that broke out in the 14th year of Tianwu, the Ming Dynasty was a little unexpected at first, causing many people to die. However, with experience in fighting the plague, the court quickly reacted and organized the people in time to successfully curb the rampant smallpox virus.

As early as the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, the people had the means to curb and prevent smallpox virus, mainly drought seedlings method and water seedling method.

However, this traditional acne vaccine method is mainly prevalent in the south. After the outbreak of smallpox in the 14th year of Tianwu, Zhu Cixuan made an attempt to implement vaccination immunization methods across the country, taking an important step for the Chinese nation to fight the threat of smallpox virus.

"Second Young Master, are you really okay?"

The servant of the Xu family, who looked like a passerby, pushed Xu Mingwu in a daze, with a look of worry.

Since the death of the second wife, the second young master has gradually become withdrawn. Not only does he not want to talk to others, but he also replaced the little maid who served him with an aunt...

A few days ago, the Marquis mentioned his marriage with the Bon family in Dingyuan. The second young master would rather die than die, so he ran away from home.

God knows if this continues, will the second young master die in depression and die young...

Xu Mingwu came to his senses and rolled his eyes and said, "What can I do? By the way, buddy, we have been talking for a long time, but I still don't know what your name is?"

“……”

The servant remembered what the old housekeeper said, and immediately felt a chill behind his back. Then he realized that his young master had a brain disease, which was personally identified by an expert from the East Factory.

"Where are you asking? Let me scream!"

After learning about his "identity", Xu Mingwu quickly got into the role and became aloof, fully demonstrating the airs that nobles in feudal society should have.

The servant quickly replied, "The little one is Xu Fu... Second Master, I'll go and decoct the medicine for you..."

"Oh, Xu Fu, your name has a promising future. Let's follow me in the future. If you perform well, maybe I will invest in opening a Xu Fuji for you!"

"Young Master, what is Xu Fuji you are talking about?"

“Selling snack food!”
