Chapter 498 Eating flowers and wine by the Qinhuai River
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Guogong and said, "I have made up my mind, Aiqing doesn't need to say it anymore." β
After saying this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Chao beside him and said, "I also prepared a set of clothes for Aiqing, why don't you change it for Aiqing?" β
Wei Guogong was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect the emperor to be polite to him. This made him feel a little bad in his heart.
The emperor privately asked you to go out with him, either because he was very close to you and didn't treat you as an outsider, so he took you out with him.
The relationship between Wei Guogong and the emperor has not reached this point, not to mention that this is the first time he has met the emperor.
The current emperor is a very bold man, and he is not so kind to them old people. In such a situation, this condition is naturally impossible.
So, that's definitely the second one.
This second rule is naturally that if you commit a crime, the emperor will clean you up and take you with him, because he is afraid that you will make trouble or disrupt his plan, or even take you to the scene to have a look, and then make you confess.
Wei Guogong's words just now were actually a test, if the emperor's attitude was not very resolute, maybe he could discuss it.
But judging from the current situation, the emperor's attitude is not ordinary resolute, and it is necessary to let Wei Guogong follow.
In such a situation, Wei Guogong would not be able to follow him.
So Wei Guogong could only say: "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he went to change his clothes. β
Looking at the back of Gonggong Wei, Zhu Youxiao turned around expressionlessly and ordered, "Get ready, let's go." β
The place where Zhu Youxiao wants to go is naturally by the Qinhuai River.
In Nanjing, the Qinhuai River is one of the most famous.
There are many flower boats on the Qinhuai River, and there are also a lot of Oiran every year, which is already a very prosperous industry in Nanjing.
Zhu Youxiao had heard of it in later generations, so he was naturally very curious. It's just that if you want to meet those famous Qin Huai Bayan, it's impossible at this time. Like Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan and others, some have not been born for a few years, and some have not been born yet, so don't think about it.
I wonder what the Oiran here looks like in this era?
You can go and have a look.
However, Zhu Youxiao didn't have much hope, after all, in his palace, whether it was Tian Guifei or Yuan Guifei, they were all selected from the beauties of the world. Whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or appearance, it is not comparable to ordinary people, and the screening range is not a level.
Not to mention Empress Zhang, Zhu Youxiao didn't think that there was anyone here who could catch up with his orb.
Merely... Since Zhu Youxiao has arrived in Nanjing, he naturally wants to go to this kind of place to have a look, which can be regarded as a long insight.
In addition, there are also things that Zhu Youxiao is interested in in this kind of place, and I think there will be a good harvest tonight.
In Nanjing, this is an industry. And behind them, there is another industry.
After the group left the palace, they rushed directly to the Qinhuai River.
Wei Guogong followed behind, and the expression on his face was slightly exciting.
In this direction, he could see where His Majesty was going, which clearly showed that he was going to the Qinhuai River to visit the flower boat.
This is not something that an emperor should do. If people know that they went to the Qinhuai River with the emperor, then it is estimated that they are guilty.
In such a situation, Wei Guogong wanted to persuade a few words.
But he was disappointed, he couldn't get close to Zhu Youxiao at all, let alone talk to Zhu Youxiao.
Those eunuchs surrounded Zhu Youxiao to death, and it looked loose, but it was basically impossible for anyone to lean over.
Even no matter what direction he shot a bow and arrow, there was no way to shoot Zhu Youxiao. There were people blocking him on all sides, and in such a situation, it was impossible for Wei Guogong to speak.
After nightfall, the Qinhuai River is lively.
Countless people frolicked and walked here, shouting and shouting.
Lanterns were hung along both sides of the street, and the red lanterns were a little dizzying, and I wondered if the word red light district looked like this.
Seeing that there are many shuttling readers here, shaking the folding fan in their hands, Zhu Youxiao is not in a very good mood.
Next door to this street by the Qinhuai River is the Confucian Temple and the Tribute Temple. This place can have such a fame and business as it is now, and many of them are picked up by these so-called scholars, who are willing to spend a lot of money on this place.
In Daming, they are the upper class, their families have money, land, status in society, and enjoy everything.
As for what to do? What do they do?
There was more exploitation and exploitation, and there were very few scholars who could become officials in the Ming Dynasty, not much compared to the overall number.
These people who have not become officials are using the privilege of scholars to exploit the country and the people.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Guogong behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, maybe those scholars are not as good as this guy.
Walking along the street for a short distance, I saw a very large faΓ§ade with brilliant lights and someone at the door to welcome customers.
On the river in front of the door, three very large flower boats are parked. Even in this place, it's huge.
Obviously, these three flower boats are all from the building in front of them, and it can be seen that this is a very big deal.
Zhu Youxiao walked over with someone, shaking the folding fan in his hand, looking like a beautiful son.
After coming to this green building, Zhu Youxiao's eyes seemed to be attracted.
Standing in place and raising his head, looking at the plaque in front of him, Zhu Youxiao showed a thoughtful performance.
The plaque is very large, and it is also very gorgeous, with three big characters written on it:
Reishun-in.
Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand, directly beckoned Wei Guogong to his side and asked, "Aiqing, it seems to be very extraordinary here, I don't know who the owner behind it is?" Does Aiqing know? β
After hearing this, Wei Guogong's body was trembling, and the expression on his face was a little ugly, but he still forced out a smile and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is old and not interested in these things, and he doesn't come here on weekdays." β
"What's more, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to look for flowers and ask willows, and the ministers never come to these places. Who is the owner behind this Qinglou, the minister naturally doesn't know. β
"Really?" Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile, and said in a casual tone: "I see, but I shouldn't ask this question." But it looks really good here, so let's go in and sit down. β
After saying this, Zhu Youxiao swiped his hand, closed the folding fan, and then walked into the building with his hands behind his back.
After seeing these people at the door, the greeter hurriedly greeted them with a smile.
Naturally, there could be no prostitutes at the door in such a place, and that was only done in low-end places; High-end places never engage in these things.
After walking in, a woman greeted him. They are not here to accompany you, but to welcome guests.
Unlike greeting guests at the door, they mainly arrange some things, and their status is not as good as that of the old bustard, but they are engaged in similar jobs, such as arranging wine spots, private rooms, and girls.
If all the Qinglou relied on the old bustard to do this alone, it would have to exhaust her to death.
These welcoming women are all a little older, and they are not good, and they are estimated to be retired in the Qinglou. They usually do some of this work, and they also teach some new women in private.
You must know that in a high-end place like Daming, you can't survive by sleeping with someone. The girls here must be good-looking, able to chat, understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, understand poetry and songs, and usually talk with you.
It can be said that this is a high-end club, and none of the girls here are idle. Just like those high-end places in later generations, the girls there are good-looking, well-educated, and even educated.
This kind of thing is left over from the ancestors, and it is difficult for many girls to even want to meet each other. It's not a matter of money or not, and the more this happens, the more people tout.
Even if it is a noble or a big official, he will not make some mess of things. If you really want this woman, you will usually spend money and ransom people back with a large price, which is also considered an elegant thing.
Zhu Youxiao was greeted by a woman in her thirties, with a bright smile on her face, who greeted Zhu Youxiao directly in front of her, and said with a smile: "This son looks outstanding, I don't know if there is a girl who knows each other?" β
"Not really, it's the first time I've been here." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The place is good, if the girl is also good, then stay." β
"Okay, don't worry, Childe, our girl here will definitely satisfy Childe." The woman smiled and said, "I don't know what Childe likes?" Are there any requirements? β
Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at her and said, "I want the best, I want your Oiran here." In addition, I booked a single room in Tianzi No. 2. It's too messy down there, and this son doesn't like this kind of place. β
After saying this, Zhu Youxiao opened the folding fan with a smile.
And Wei Chao, who was beside Zhu Youxiao, took a step forward, pulled out a ticket from his sleeve, stuffed it into the woman's hand with a smile, and then stepped back directly.
The smile on the woman's face became even brighter, and after taking the ticket, she touched a few places with her hand, and then smiled and put it in her sleeve.
She didn't even need to look at it, this size must be a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and from this texture, it is 100% a ticket of the Royal Bank.
This son is really generous, and his shot is one hundred taels.
You know, it's not doing anything.
The woman's smile suddenly became even brighter, and she hurriedly said, "Childe, wait a minute, people will come soon." β
She turned around and greeted, "The distinguished guest has arrived, and the No. 2 room of Tianzi is ready." β
After saying this, she turned around and led the way in front, and said as she walked: "Childe, we have high-quality wine and food here." Yesterday there were two good sea bass, and I will let people pack them up and send them to Childe. I don't know what kind of wine Childe wants to drink? β
