Chapter 316: The Prime Minister's Son
Lu Yuan secretly observed that both this carriage and Han Zi'er's carriage were extremely luxurious, and he had never seen such a carriage in Hui'an Mansion.
From this, we can get a glimpse of the prosperous corner of Hangzhou.
What he didn't know was that the reason why this kind of carriage did not appear in Hui'an Mansion was because he didn't like to ride in carriages.
When other officials saw him like this, they would naturally secretly speculate on his thoughts and look up to him.
There are also older ones, who are accustomed to riding in horse-drawn carriages, but they will never dare to decorate the carriages too ornately, and the officials will naturally follow suit.
This is how the so-called atmosphere is formed.
In fact, the street is extremely wide, even if there are a lot of people watching acrobatics, as long as the carriage is slightly off the direction, it can still pass.
But the owner of the carriage apparently did not think so, and sent his guards to drive him away.
The crowd quickly retreated, and Lu Yuan also retreated to the side of the street.
The middle-aged man and the boy who were performing also hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to retreat, but the young man in brocade in the field was motionless, as if his legs had taken root.
Lu Yuan smiled secretly, feeling that there was a good show to watch.
The guards naturally noticed the young man's non-cooperation, and the chief guard who took the lead walked over to the young man with a cold face.
"Fuck, tell you to get out of the way, don't you understand people?" The chief of the guard was accustomed to rampant, and as soon as he approached, he shouted angrily.
The young man glanced at him, looked carefully at the carriage for a while, and frowned, "You are from the Changle Marquis Mansion?" ”
"You know why don't you get out of here!"
The young man smiled coldly and said loudly at the carriage: "Uncle Cai, your subordinates told me to get out, what do you say?" ”
The chief guard was stunned for a moment, the young man obviously thought that Changle Hou was sitting in the car, and even called Changle Hou 'Uncle Cai'.
His heart suddenly beat a drum, and his tone softened: "It's my wife sitting in the car, and I ask my son to give way." ”
"Oh? Did it turn out that Aunt Cai was inside? The brocade-clothed boy straightened his sleeves, as if he was going to pay a visit.
The chief guard felt more and more that this young man had a background, and his voice became lower: "It's not the eldest lady, it's the seventh lady." ”
The thin monkey-like man behind the young man sneered: "What Seventh Lady, isn't it just a concubine of Marquis Cai?" Just because she also wants my son-in-law to give way? ”
The chief guard looked slightly angry, but he didn't dare to attack, and asked, "I don't know who the son is?" ”
The thin monkey man said coldly: "My son-in-law is the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, understand?" ”
The chief of the guard immediately understood that this young man was the son of Prime Minister Zhu Anming.
The imperial court system of Wu Yue followed the example of Li Tang and implemented the system of three books and six provinces.
It stands to reason that the highest governors of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province can all be called prime ministers, but Wu Yueguo's 'Zhongshu Order' and 'Shizhong' are all vacant, and there is only one Shangshu Order, Zhu Anming, which is also the reason why his power is so huge.
Zhu Anming's son is not easy to mess with, the chief guard saw that the one in the carriage did not speak, so he decided to back down and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Zhu Gongzi, I collided, please forgive me." ”
Saying that, he led the people back, he walked to the carriage and said something inside, and suddenly, a crystal jade hand stretched out from the window of the carriage and slapped the chief guard fiercely, and the chief guard hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Then the carriage deviated and bypassed here.
When passing by, Lu Yuan looked at the car window, and through the gap in the light blue crepe curtain, he could faintly see a luxurious woman sitting in the car.
The son surnamed Zhu didn't look at the carriage more, looked at the father and son and said, "Okay, let's continue to compete." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man who was performing was already aware that the identity of the teenager was more noble than he imagined, and he was even more frightened in his heart, not only afraid that he would accidentally hurt this noble son during the competition, but he did not dare to disobey the other party's order, and was in a dilemma for a while.
"Daddy, leave it to me." The young man saw his uneasiness, shook his hand vigorously, and strode towards Zhu Gongzi.
"Okay, refreshed." Zhu Gongzi rolled up his sleeves and put on a gesture, and the young man bowed and saluted, and also made a gesture.
Soon, Zhu Gongzi took the lead in launching an offensive, greeting the showboy with his fists and feet in an endless stream, and the showman saw the trick and took a defensive position.
After fighting for a while, Zhu Gongzi put away his fists and feet, and said with a blue face: "Why do you only defend and not attack?" ”
"I ......" the young man lowered his head and didn't know how to explain.
"Do you look down on me?" Zhu Gongzi's voice was even colder.
The middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed the young man and knelt down to Zhu Gongzi, and couldn't stop making amends in his mouth.
However, these words did not play any role, and Zhu Gongzi's face became more and more ugly.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and interjected: "This noble son, if someone asks you and His Royal Highness the Prince to do something, I don't know how you will deal with it?" ”
Zhu Gongzi was stunned for a moment, and snorted coldly: "This son doesn't care so much, since it's a martial arts competition, just go all out." ”
"But not everyone has the courage of a childe." In order to sell his father and son, Lu Yuan had no choice but to curry favor again.
Zhu Gongzi's face really improved, he looked at the young man and said: "My name is Zhu Zuo, sooner or later, I will lead my elite army of Wu Yue Kingdom to wipe out Hui'an Mansion, Qingyuan and Tang Kingdom, are you willing to follow me?" ”
The young man was a little hesitant, and the middle-aged man was also a little at a loss, Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "It's your blessing to be able to follow Zhu Gongzi, what else do you want, hurry up and kowtow." ”
He understood very well that although Zhu Gongzi let them choose, in fact, the father and son did not choose at all, and a little more hesitation would only make Zhu Gongzi a little more dissatisfied, and it was the best choice to agree immediately.
The middle-aged man reacted and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you Gongzi for lifting up." ”
Although the young man was a little unwilling, he still kowtowed to thank him.
Zhu Gongzi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Give you a day to clean up your chores, and come to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to find me." ”
As he spoke, he turned and strode away.
The middle-aged man knelt down again, stood up, and was about to thank the man who had spoken for his help, only to find that he had disappeared.
As it gets darker, many of the vendors who live outside the city begin to pack up their belongings to end the day's sale.
Lu Yuan is returning in the direction of Paradise.
As he was walking, he suddenly saw a man in a black cloak walking on the other side of the street, Lu Yuan was slightly surprised, this person had blue eyes and a high nose, and at first glance he was not from Middle-earth.
It is not a person from the Western Regions, and I don't know if it is the country of Tubo or the country of great food.
These foreigners can't be seen in Hui'an Mansion, and Hangzhou is worthy of being a commercial and trade center.
Lu Yuan was a little interested, and asked a man on the side of the road, only to learn that Hangzhou not only has foreigners, but also built a 'Puning Fang', where many foreigners live and do business.
Back at the teahouse, Li Ruozhen still hadn't come back, and Lu Yuan decided to go to Puning Fang to have a look.
I asked the lower position on the street, Puning Fang was not too far from Jile Fang, and Lu Yuan arrived after walking for a while.
After entering Puning Fang, it was unexpectedly lively, obviously it was approaching night, and there were still many pedestrians on the road, most of them foreigners in strange costumes.
Suddenly, a short man approached, followed by seven or eight of his men.
The man looked at Lu Yuan a few times, and suddenly saw the short knife on his waist, rolled his eyes, and arched his hand to Lu Yuan: "Hello." ”
He speaks Chinese, and although his tone is extremely strange, he barely reaches the level of being able to communicate.
"Hello." Lu Yuan arched his hand and looked at him, only to see that he was extremely short, and the person behind him was even shorter than him, and asked, "Your Excellency, is it Japanese?" ”
"Rude, you're so rude!" The short man was a little angry: "Not all short people are Japanese, we Zhongshan people are also relatively small, and we are different from the Japanese, we have a smarter mind." ”
"Zhongshan people?" Lu Yuan was a little stunned, he didn't remember that there were still Zhongshan people in this period?
"That's what you call a Ryukyu people!" The short man's face was swollen red:
"You Middle-earth people are also rude in this regard, our Ryukyu Islands obviously have Zhongshan, Nanshan, Beishan and Ryukyu four countries, but you only give us a name, it's too much!"
At this time, the Central Plains referred to Taiwan and the small countries on the Ryukyu Islands north of Taiwan as Ryukyu, so it was no wonder that this short man was angry.
Lu Yuan smiled dumbly: "I'm sorry, I really haven't heard of it before, and I'll pay attention to it later." ”
