Chapter 685: Kill a brother-in-law halfway

"Your family is very powerful!"

In the middle of the great achievement, Xu Chenyun hugged the painting and joked with a smile.

Others didn't know Xu Sheng and Wu Zhong, but she knew that the two of them had followed Zhu Gongzi since they met from the beginning.

As the relationship between Zhu Cihong and Xu Chenyun gradually became closer, Xu Sheng and Wu Zhongcai kept their distance and followed from afar.

Similarly, Xu Chenyun did not bring out the maid Qiuyue who was in the way.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "We are all people who have been on the battlefield, and we have done it with real knives and guns with Tartars, isn't it a piece of cake to clean up those few shelves?" ”

Xu Chenyun frowned slightly, thought in her eyes, looked Zhu Cihong up and down again, and asked, "Tell me, who are you?" Why is there so much silver? ”

Zhu Cihong smiled dumbly and said, "You really want to know?" ”

"I want to know!" Xu Chenyun's eyes flashed, and she nodded seriously.

Zhu Cihong sighed and said, "It's time to reveal my identity that I have hidden for many years." ”

Xu Chenyun's eyes widened and she listened quietly.

Zhu Cihong approached her, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Actually, the Jinjiang Star and Zhonghua Building are my family's property, and I am a low-key rich son......"

"Zhonghua House is your family's property?" Xu Chenyun opened her red lips slightly and exclaimed.

Zhonghua Building, known for its luxury and high-end, brings together famous dishes from all over the world, and is the most high-end restaurant in the whole Ming Dynasty and even the world!

There are not many branches of Zhonghua Building, there are no more than ten in the entire Ming Dynasty, and there are only two in Nanjing City, which is the capital division, and there are at least two hundred taels of dishes on one table, and there is no cap!

During the most extravagant Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the palace spent only four hundred and twenty taels of food a day, and the Wanli Emperor had almost one hundred taels of silver for a table of imperial meals.

The current palace meal consumption is only 200 taels a day (there are few people in the palace), and Zhu Cihong's table of imperial meals is less than 20 taels, several dishes and one soup, and meat and vegetables are matched.

The imperial diet during Zhu Yuanzhang's period was simpler, with four dishes and one soup, namely carrots, leeks, two bowls of green vegetables and a bowl of tofu soup sprinkled with shallots, which was no different from that of civilians.

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, the Ming Dynasty can be said to have set an example in frugality, and they are the most frugal existence among the emperors of all dynasties.

Zhu Cihong has tens of millions of taels of silver in his inner pocket, but he is not too extravagant, nor is he as frugal as Chongzhen, everything is used normally, and sometimes he is even a little generous, doing whatever he wants.

Xu Chenyun obviously didn't believe it, Dai Mei trembled, glared at Zhu Cihong dissatisfied, and said, "You're still lying to me!" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded seriously and said, "This is really my family's property, don't you believe I will take you to see it and have a meal?" ”

Like ordinary women, when it comes to food, Xu Chenyun is pleasantly surprised, her jade face is shining, and her face is compelling.

It just so happened that there was a Chinese building in Dagongfang, and the two went hand in hand.

After passing through several more streets, pedestrians gradually became scarce, and high-rise mansions and courtyards were everywhere.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Da the palace of Wu before the emperor in order to commend the great achievements made by Xu Da, the prince of Wei, and specially built a workshop and gave the name "Great Merit" to his merits.

After more than 200 years of development, Dagongfang has been prosperous, and the surrounding area has been widely built by Wei Guogong, and has become a place where powerful and wealthy families often gather.

Finally, Wu Zhong, who led the way, stopped.

It was noon, there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and the restaurants on both sides of the road were open to welcome customers, and the sound of cheers and the aroma of food came into the curtain.

Zhu Cihong looked up, and on the huge building similar to the city tower in front of him, the three big characters of Zhonghua Tower were clearly written.

"Please!" Zhu Cihong took his hand and smiled softly.

At this point, Xu Chenyun already believed that Zhu Gongzi told her identity so honestly, which made her very excited and happy.

At this moment, a rather uninteresting voice rang out, breaking this good feeling.

"Hey, you disciple, let go of my sister!"

Zhu Cihong turned his face away, only to see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy not far away, pointing at himself with a resentful expression.

The young man was tall and handsome, like a scholar, but he looked angry.

Zhu Cihong pointed at the young man and said, "This is the brother-in-law?" ”

Xu Chenyun suddenly felt shy, withdrew her hand, showed her face crimson, glanced at Zhu Cihong quickly, and nodded her head.

Zhu Cihong didn't expect that his brother-in-law would actually appear!

"Who are you? Do you still want to be my sister-in-law? ”

The young man rushed forward in a few steps, speaking extremely disrespectfully, and did not pay attention to Zhu Cihong at all.

Sister-in-law, that is, the meaning of brother-in-law, the word "brother-in-law" at this time in the Ming Dynasty also refers to the name of the prostitute in the brothel......

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Under Zhu Yishuai, hello, brother!" ”

The young man looked at him with a little disgust, and said, "What Zhu Yishuai, Zhu Ershuai, you are the younger brother!" Which of you is worthy of my sister? ”

Xu Chenyun turned his head to look at the young man, showed a look of disgust, and said, "Da Kun, don't be rude." ”

She apologized to Zhu Cihong and said, "Master Zhu, my brother is ignorant, please forgive me." ”

Zhu Cihong was surprised: "His name is Xu Dakun?" What a good name. ”

Xu Chenyun nodded and said, "This is my brother's nickname, his big name is Xu Bohan, and he has just come to Nanjing for a few days......"

"I don't care if you are Zhu Jishuai, let me tell you, don't be delusional to be my sister-in-law!" Xu Dakun's tone was very impulsive, and his eyes showed contempt.

This kid's tone was unbearable, Xu Sheng and Wu Zhong moved their steps, ready to drag their brother-in-law aside to teach him a lesson.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and stopped them, but instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "My sister and I fell in love at first sight, why can't we be together?" ”

Xu Dakun glanced at him contemptuously when he heard this, and said, "My father said, my sister is amazingly talented, and she will enter the palace in the future, who are you?" How worthy of my sister! ”

This brother-in-law is quite arrogant, Zhu Cihong was trying to cut him down and make him honest, but he didn't expect that someone would take the lead.

I saw Xu Chenyun with a cold face, tugging at Xu Dakun's ears, and scolding: "I haven't seen you for a few months, are you still against the sky?" ”

"Sister, it hurts! Hurt! It hurts ......."

Xu Dakun's ears were instantly reddened, and he was grinning, and his eyes were full of tears.

Zhu Cihong only found out at this time that his sweetheart, who had always been as light as a chrysanthemum, actually liked to abuse his brother so much......

Still, it's good!

After a while, Xu Dakun, who was still showing his teeth and claws just now, was honest, as if he had changed a person.

He pouted and looked at Zhu Cihong, obviously unconvinced, and at the same time wondered in his heart, why his sister, who he had always admired, maintained such a man, and he didn't know what kind of medicine this person named Zhu Yishuai gave his sister.

Xu Dakun decided to dig deeper and save his sister!

He said with a haha: "This Brother Zhu, where are you going?" ”

Zhu Cihong seemed to be smiling, raised his head and pointed to the front, and said, "Go to Zhonghua Building for a meal, and you will come along?" ”

Xu Dakun was stunned at first, and then immediately widened his eyes: "Zhonghua Building? ”

He circled around Zhu Cihong two or three times, pouted again and again, and said, "I can't see it, Brother Zhu is so generous, your friend and I Xu Bohan have made a deal!" ”
