Chapter 404 The Prince’s Long Vacation

Zhu Houzhao arrived in Nanjing.

It was just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone else was having family reunions, but he took the Four King Kongs to the south of the Yangtze River to play. At his age, there seemed to be nothing that interested him except playing.

Rather than saying this is a journey to study, it is better to say that this is a journey of making trouble for him.

"Is this the city of Nanjing? It's nothing more than that." Zhu Houzhao took a boat to cross the river and was about to enter the city from the water gate of the Qinhuai River. All he saw along the way were some low-rise houses, because in the next few days, the city was crowded with people. It rained so much that the river was filled with smoke.

Sun Che smiled and said, "Master Zhu, I don't know. This ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River also has the spirit of the Six Dynasties. It's a pity that you can't appreciate it at your age."

Zhu Houzhao went to Liu Jin. A few people glanced at each other, then turned around and said, "Who said I can't understand how much money it costs?"

"Ahem, that's not what I meant." Sun Che couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He saw with his own eyes Zhu Houzhao's generous spending along the way.

At first, I thought it was a down-and-out young man from some family who was traveling with me, and most of them were just teasing a naughty boy for fun. Who would have thought that I would only realize halfway through how unrestrained this naughty boy is with his money.

Whether it was to stay in a hotel or attend a cultural event, Zhu Houzhao paid for all the souvenirs he bought.

He has talents that are not what a child of his age should have, he has a wealth that is not what a child of this age should have, and he also has a pride of "gold and silver" for his friends. Just like the dazzling rich man, if Sun Che and the others were told to leave Zhu Houzhao now, they would not leave.

Whoever wants to get close to us must protect the dignity of the young master of the Zhu family as a personal guardian.

Liu Jin came over and smiled and said, "Sir, look, we have arrived at the city gate. After passing it, you will see Nanjing City."

Sun Che said, "After passing the city gate, you have to check the route. No need to Get off the boat."

"Can't you give me some money to guide you?" Zhu Houzhao didn't have that kind of thing. He either didn't enter the city he passed on the way, or he just spent some money to make accommodations.

But now in Nanjing, the situation is different. If you don’t even have an identity document, it will be troublesome to enter the city.

Hu Feng came over and said, "It's okay, I'll go and meet him. But I'm afraid this generous money is indispensable. Isn't Mr. Zhu coming to Yingtian Mansion to visit his relatives? By the way, the road should be set up."

Hu Feng came over and said. p>

"Yes, yes." Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Give me the money."

Liu Jin was the housekeeper next to Zhu Houzhao. When he heard that he wanted to give money again, he couldn't help but look at Hu Feng with vigilant eyes. The three of them were thinking that they had been tricked a lot by these three guys along the way, and now they are still like this in Nanjing

I heard that the consumption level in Nanjing is very high, if these three guys are allowed to Let’s just eat and drink and go shopping in some places with the “Six Dynasty Beauty and Beauty” atmosphere. Not to mention 3,000 taels, even 30,000 taels may not be enough, and our lives will be gone after the transfer.

Take the prince to find flowers and willows

LiuJin dug around and took out more than one tael of broken silver and a few copper plates. Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Is this possible?"

After saying that, he grabbed a ten-tael silver ingot from Liu Jin's bag. He threw it to Hu Feng and said, "After the roads are set up, the accommodation and accommodation in the city will also be arranged. Isn't that enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough."

Hu Feng originally He also wanted to take advantage of Zhu Houzhao's lack of social experience, and wanted to gain some leverage from it, but seeing that even his companions Gong Yeping and Sun Che looked at him with greed in their eyes, he nodded wisely.

Let the boatman dock first.

Then Hu Feng headed towards Shuimen by land, while the boat stopped at the ferry first.

Zhu Houzhao watched the boats heading towards the water gate. Often, beautiful women would come out of the cabins, pouring water or washing clothes. Even the riverbank was full of human smoke. He couldn't help but stare with wide eyes.

Sun Che ran over, sat beside Zhu Houzhao and said, "Master Zhu, these are flower boats on the Qinhuai River."

"What are flower boats?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Sun Che smiled and said, "Of course it's a ship full of red-blooded women. They go to the city to do business at night and leave the city after the night."

"Ahem." Liu Jin was beside him. Coughing twice, does it mean you have ulterior motives for telling this to a ten-year-old child?

Zhu Houzhao asked, "Since everyone has gone to the city, it is enough to live in the city, why do you have to go out of the city?"< /p>

"This"

Sun Che was embarrassed for a moment. He didn't expect that the naughty child's focus was completely different from that of adults like them.

Gong Yeping added with a smile, "It's because the ship is not a place to live. Besides, the Qinlou girls are from humble backgrounds. Even if they have money and want to rent a place to live in the city, others don't want to talk to them." They live together, so they can only settle down outside the city."

"Oh." Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile on his face, as if he had learned new knowledge, "Then their family and children are also in the city. Are you outside?"

"Ahem"

This time even Gong Yeping was defeated by the naughty kid's brain circuit.

Liu Jin said, "Young master, those lowly girls don't have families."

Sun Che said, "You're wrong about that. Girls from Leji have been wandering for half their lives, and they still have to live in peace." Fallen leaves have returned to their roots. When their beauty fades in their twenties, they will definitely find a man from Leji to get married. Otherwise, how do you think these people from Jiangnan Leji can survive? But their youth only lasts a few years. After that, After that, it will be difficult to support their families. Although they are all prosperous now, most of them will have a miserable life because they are not even qualified to buy land and farm. ”

Sun Che asked curiously, "Change "What?"

Zhu Houzhao said, "You don't know, I have a husband who once told me that thisPeople in the world are not born high or low. At first I thought he was fooling me, but now that I think about it, there are indeed many people who are born poor and lowly, making them miserable throughout their lives. I think this should be changed. "

"Hahaha" Gong Yeping laughed at the side, "Young Master, your ambitions are not small. The traditions left over from the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years, or from China for thousands of years, you just want to change."

"Where there is a will, there is a way. "Zhu Houzhao scratched his head and grinned.

Just when Gong Yeping was about to make a few more jokes, he saw that Hu Feng had come back not far away, and Hu Feng was already holding the road guide in his hand. .

"So fast" Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to greet him.

Sun Che also asked curiously, "Brother, you really have connections. How much money did you spend to open up the relationship in Jinling City?"

Hu Feng said with an embarrassed look, "I didn't spend any money. After I went there, it was explained that someone wanted to go to relatives, so they directed the way and said that I could contact them if I had anything to do in the future." "

"Ah" Gong Yeping and Sun Che listened as if they were listening to heavenly scriptures.

Even Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and others on the side did not quite understand.

"That money?" Liu Jin immediately wanted to get back the money he gave him before.

Zhu Houzhao said, "It's Mr. Hu." If you have the ability, take the money and arrange a place to stay after I enter the city. By the way, I plan to visit relatives and friends after I enter the city, and I will talk to you later. "

The ship successfully passed the water gate of the Qinhuai River.

Ma Yongcheng pulled Gao Feng aside and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Gao, do you think this is the news that came out before? The Duke already knew about it, so he sent someone to take care of it."

"No one came to contact me. "Gao Feng was also confused.

At this moment, Liu Jin came out to take a breath.

The two of them quickly saluted Liu Jin.

Beside the prince , whoever is favored is the boss, and now whoever takes the initiative to return to the palace has the greater responsibility, so even Ma Yongcheng is very sensible and will not be arrogant in front of Liu Jin.

Liu Jin said, "You two, in fact, our family has long been involved. Secretly informed Master Zhang about the prince's move south. "

Gao Feng said in surprise, "Didn't you ask our family?"

"I hope you know where to contact Master Zhang. Didn't you find out all the way south? Someone is secretly protecting us." Liu Jin looked very proud.

"I see nothing wrong. It seems that after passing Xuzhou, someone tried to get close to us, but it was a different person every time." Gao Feng suddenly thought of something. .

Liu Jin sneered, "If it was always the same batch, the prince would have noticed the clues. I believe you two will not leak this matter out."

"Yeah"

Gao Feng and Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but look at each other.

They are also thinking that neither of us knows such a big secret. If you tell us what your intention is, wouldn’t it be easier for the secret to be leaked if there is one more person keeping it?

Liu Jindao "The prince has asked about looking for Master Zhang after entering the city. You must cooperate well. Arriving in Nanjing is not as good as on the road. This is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. The prince's safety is much more important than our heads."

"Yes, yes."

Gao Feng answered for Ma Yongcheng.

Ships enter the city.

After arriving at the shore, the bustle and bustle of Nanjing City became even more intense.

After Zhu Houzhao landed ashore, he was so excited that he almost ran away into the crowd, but Sun Che and others stopped him.

"Young master, you are not old, so it is not suitable for you to run around in the city. Since you are going to join your relatives and friends, you might as well agree on a meeting place first, so that we can tell you the location of your residence for your convenience. You come here to look for me after visiting your relatives and friends," Gong Yeping said over.

Zhu Houzhao said, "No, I originally planned to visit my relatives, but seeing how busy this place is, I decided not to go. Let's go to the Wenhui first, my hands are itchy."

" "My hands are itchy" Gong Yeping didn't understand.

It seems like you are going to play a game with others. You have not talked enough about the mind and heart with people along the way.

Every time it is the same clichés. At first we listened. I also thought it was very novel, but then I realized that you were trying your best to bully the scholars you met on the way south. They didn’t even attend the two literary conferences where you debated.

Liu Jin He said, "Sir, let's go."

Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jin, as if to say, don't think that I don't know what you are worried about.

When I find Mr. Zhang, he will definitely find a way to tie me up and escort me back to the capital, and my plan to travel around will be ruined.

"Originally, I was very concerned about that relative and friend, but after I came here, I carefully considered it. What if he coveted my former family property and cheated me? I am alone, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me now. Fighting with the tribe." When Zhu Houzhao spoke, he was no different from an adult.

Hu Feng was most excited when he saw the money, and said with a smile, "What Mr. Zhu said is absolutely true, so we should be more careful. Brothers are still clear about settling accounts, and distant relatives are even less trustworthy."

It seems that even Hu Feng’s companions are aware of this, are they teaching their children? People’s relatives don’t cheat, but you started cheating first. Who is more trustworthy than the other?

Go to Hu Feng He hired a carriage and had experience coming to Nanjing, so he immediately found the inn in Chongrenfang.

"Enter the city from Xishui Pass. This is Jiangning County. It is in Yingtianfu City. This is the outer city and the old city." Hu Feng said.

"Where is the Forbidden City in Nanjing?" Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile.

Hu Feng frowned and said, "You can't go to the Forbidden City casually. If you get close, even if you look up, the officials will be held accountable if they see it. Mr. Zhu has no fame."It's better not to get yourself into trouble. ”

“Oh, I was just asking. ”

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself.

That’s not my territory yet and you won’t let me go. I really want to see it, and I also want to live there.

I’m going to piss you off so much.

“Where is Duke Lai’s residence?” Zhu Houzhao said, “You know, Duke Lai, Zhang Zhou’s courtesy name is Bingkuan.”

"Don't talk nonsense. "This time Gong Yeping interrupted Zhu Houzhao, "Young Master, since you are descended from Zhang Xueshi in terms of knowledge, you should also know that the teacher's name is not allowed to be mentioned on your lips. Bachelor Zhang does not have a residence in Nanjing. "

"Who said he is not a member of Yingtian Mansion?" Zhu Houzhao was puzzled.

Sun Che said, "This is about a past event. As far as I know, Bachelor Zhang was once He was just a Gongsheng student in Nanyong, and he was also a regular prisoner. As a result, his family fell into trouble and he had to sell his property. Later, he received the guidance of a god, and he became famous all over the world in Gongyuan. Later, he even traveled thousands of miles to cure the acne of today's little princess. He won the trust of His Majesty. Needless to say, he won the first prize in the exam and made great achievements. He was also a compilation of spiritual canon, which can be said to be fame and fortune. Double harvest. I heard that his lovely wives even clicked their tongues."

"What are you thinking about?" Hu Feng next to him almost wanted to slap Sun Che on the head.

Zhu Houzhao grinned when he heard this.< /p>

Although he didn't know a lot of what Sun Che said, he was familiar with the latter part, and he had experienced it personally.

"Even if his family was in decline, he would still be in Yingtian Mansion. "Should he have a place to live?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"I heard that he is now the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. He wanted to be a Han Confucian. In just two years, he won three yuan in a row and was promoted to the Central Hall of the Chao Dynasty. He is the Duke of the country, who among the people in the world can compare with him. Nowadays, many people in Jiangnan are looking for the immortal who is said to have been banished to the human world, hoping to find the same adventure as Xueshi Zhang. Sun Che had a look of longing on his face, as if he was the next great person who could meet the guidance of an immortal.

Zhu Houzhao said, "Didn't you say that he has no mentor?"

Sun Che said in confusion "Master Zhu, where did you hear this?"

"Forget it, I can't tell you. "Isn't it here yet?" Zhu Houzhao looked out of the carriage window.

"It's right in front. However, there is a grand gathering of literary circles in Nanjing recently. People from various schools of thought gather in Nanjing, so there may not be any spare guest rooms. "I'll use my contacts later to help find a private house. The older one can live in Sanjin Yard, and we can live in it. I don't know what Young Master Zhu thinks," Hu Feng said.

There was also Liu Jin sitting in the carriage. When I heard this, I immediately frowned and stared.

It’s not enough to live in an inn now, but you have to find a big hotel to live in. It’s not your money, right? Why don’t you die in Sanjin Hospital? Sanjin in Nanjing City. Hospital, then the rent can be reduced

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "No problem, it's easier to do things if you have people you know. I just said that I met a noble person when I went out. I was right." "

"Ahem, you are so humble. "Lian Hu FengThey all felt embarrassed.

Speaking of "noble", the young master in front of me is the one, and the three of them are following the financial owner to serve as foils.

After Zhu Houzhao and others checked into the inn.

Zhang Zhou followed Jin Yiwei's guidance and went to a rice shop opposite the inn. At this time, the rice shop had been taken over by Jin Yiwei, or temporarily rented.

"The backyard is huge." Yang Peng came out of the inner hall. He also rushed all the way, and it took him six days to get from the capital to Nanjing, with bloodshot eyes.

Zhang Zhou said, "Eunuch Yang, you have worked really hard."

"It's not hard work, it's all for His Majesty." Yang Peng looked at Zhang Zhou with a grateful face, "Thank you Zhang Master, find the prince and escort him here safely."

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "As long as the prince's identity is not exposed, there is basically no need to worry about his safety. After all, he has people with him. It is also the official path. If this road is not smooth, how can the people of Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment?"

"Yes, yes" Yang Peng followed the words, "It is all because of His Majesty's grace that the world will be peaceful. "The bandits are extinct."

"It is enough to say that they are extinct. There are still many bandits in Huguang, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and even in Fujian. This is not true, Your Majesty." The governors have all been re-promoted to ensure that the local people are safe as long as Nanjing is safe."

There was a noise outside.

But a group of students came out of the inn, one by one, as if they were shouting slogans, and headed towards the Gongyuan.

Zhang Zhou often wanders around Nanjing in the past few days, and is naturally used to seeing this kind of scene. This is probably what outsiders call a "grand event in the literary world", but in fact it is not easy to get into a fight with several gangs. There is no essential difference, except that the method of debate is to use words but not with hands. Of course, if the argument cannot be overcome, hands-on situations will happen from time to time.

This is also a headache for Yin Wuxiong of Yingtian Mansion.

Yang Peng said, "The prince lives here, his character is complex, and he is easy to lose. Should we arrange a residence for the prince?"

Zhang Zhou smiled and shook his head and said, "Let it go first." When he goes, he will arrange manpower inside and outside, and he must keep a low profile. I have asked Xu Jing next to me to be responsible for this. He knows many people in Yingtian Mansion. They are scholars, so it is easier to keep track of them."

A royal guard in civilian clothes and a scholar's uniform ran out and said urgently, "Two adults, there is a fight inside."

"There is something about the prince?" Yang Peng asked nervously. road.

"No, it was the people who were traveling with the prince. They had already started fighting over the room. One of them was even pushed down the stairs." Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
