At three o'clock the next day, Ma Cheng got up with his sour waist and eyes, and saw the refreshed Gu Xiying Ma Cheng summed up in his heart: "Should I be restrained, I am just eighteen years old this year, and there are still a large number of flowers waiting to be picked by myself, if I am tired, how can I be worthy of the people of the whole country?" ”

But seeing Gu Xiying's two long-legged Ma Cheng, he hesitated again, it was really a ghost under the peony flower!

Gu Xiying was very happy to be moistened by Ma Cheng all night, and got up to wash Ma Cheng after being busy. After the two finished eating, Gu Xiying asked, "Master, where are you going today?" ”

Yesterday the craftsmen were arranged, and the steelmaking furnace could not be built in one day or two. The barracks have also formed a norm, and I don't look at it every day. Ma Cheng has been running around every day for the past month, and he is still a little uncomfortable when he is suddenly idle.

Ma Cheng thought about it and thought that Nanjing had been almost half a month, and he hadn't taken a good tour of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, anyway, it was okay today, so it was better to go out for a walk.

"There's nothing to do today, sir, I'll take you out for a walk, what Confucius Temple, Qinhuai River, Xuanwu Lake will go to see!"

Gu Xiying was very happy to hear Ma Cheng say this, and hurriedly got up to prepare clothes. Yesterday, Ma Cheng had promised to go out with Gu Xiying in the future, so Gu Xiying had already prepared his clothes and waited for Ma Cheng's words.

Ma Cheng saw that Gu Xiying had changed into a net friend's dress, wearing a cyan hat, a cyan shirt, a pair of cloth shoes on the soles of his feet, coupled with Gu Xiying's handsome appearance, he was really a handsome little guy.

Ma Cheng was very curious when he saw Gu Xiying wearing men's clothes, Gu Xiying was tall, and men's clothes were suitable, but why didn't this plump boobs go?

"Little sister, why are you gone?" Ma Cheng gestured after speaking.

Gu Xiying's face was flushed when she saw it, and she said, "The master is so obscene, he knows how to stare at others!" The slave family tied it up with strips of cloth for convenience! ”

So that's the case, Ma Cheng smiled lewdly: "Isn't that uncomfortable?" Do you give you a massage? ”

Gu Xiying listened to Ma Cheng laughing at herself, stomped her feet angrily, turned around and went out.

Ma Cheng didn't really want to play hooligan, but he was just talking, and after finishing speaking, Ma Cheng got up and changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

Ma Cheng and Gu Xiying, who was disguised in disguise, went out and prepared to start a day trip to Nanjing, knowing that they saw Ma Cheng's eldest brother Ma Luan standing at the door as soon as they went out.

Ma Luan was stunned when he saw Ma Cheng, and then saw Gu Xiying beside Ma Cheng is frowning, and asked, "Second brother, what are you doing here?" ”

Seeing the eldest brother Ma Cheng, he hurriedly bowed: "Big brother, Xiying is bored at home, it just so happens that there is nothing to do today, take him out for a walk!" ”

Ma Luan is deeply educated by Confucianism and believes that women should not go out of the door, although Gu Xiying is the concubine of the second Ma Cheng, but as the eldest Ma Luan, he still has to take care of it.

"Hmph, second brother, how can you let the women in your family show up? Let outsiders see it, don't you say that my Ma family has no tutor? ”

Ma Cheng laughed: "Haha, it's nothing, this Xiying also changed into men's clothes, outsiders can't see through it!" After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he was about to lead Gu Xiying out, but Ma Luan really had no choice but to shake his head and sigh as a younger brother.

Ma Cheng had already gone out of the gate, and suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly came back and asked Ma Luan: "Big brother, you are familiar with people in this city, do you recognize Chen Zilong?" Where to live? ”

In addition to taking his concubine to see the scenery of Qinhuai when Ma Cheng went out today, another important thing was to find Chen Zilong, the only sober person in the chaos of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Chen Zilong is a native of Songjiang Huating, Nanzhili, that is, a Shanghai hukou, and Chen Zilong is also a core member of the Donglin Party Youth Organization Fushe. Although Chen Zilong was born in the Donglin Party, he did not have the rhetoric of the Donglin Party at all, and Chen Zilong was probably the only person who had a clear understanding of the political situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Chen Zilong is still a staunch anti-Qing faction, even if he was defeated and captured, he also had to throw himself into the water and be martyred, which is much more backbone than his friends.

Although Ma Cheng didn't know much about the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was deeply impressed by this Chen Zilong, so Ma Cheng decided that the first intellectual to win over after crossing was this Chen Zilong.

Ma Luan smiled strangely when he heard Ma Cheng talk about Chen Zilong, and asked, "Second brother, how do you know Chen Zilong's name?" ”

Of course, Ma Cheng couldn't say what he would see on Baidu in the future, so he had to say insincerely: "I heard that this Chen Zilong is one of the three sons of Yunjian, and he is still the first person to understand today, more than those who are stinky old nine in Donglin, so my younger brother wants to make friends!" ”

Ma Luan has a good relationship with those people in the Donglin Party and the Fushe, and he was very uncomfortable when he heard Ma Cheng scold them for being stinky and scolded: "Second brother, there are also capable people in Donglin, such as Hou Chaozong, Fang Yizhi, Mao Bijiang and others, all of whom are bright for a while!" ”

Ma Cheng has always looked down on the four sons of Jiangnan, Hou Chaozong is Hou Fangyu, who participated in the imperial examination held by the Manchu Qing Dynasty after the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty and became a person in Henan. The other three can be better, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui, and Mao Bijiang all became shrunken turtles after the death of the Ming Dynasty, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests and not coming out.

Ma Cheng has always been disgusted with these four people, and after listening to Ma Luan, he scolded: "The four sons of Jiangnan are all vain people, and the younger brother seems to be a turtle with a shrunken head!" They don't deserve to lift shoes for Chen Zilong! ”

Ma Luan heard Ma Cheng say this and laughed: "What nonsense, these four people don't dare to pretend to be the four sons of Jiangnan, it's all rumors, don't spread them everywhere!" But you said that the four of them are not worthy of carrying shoes for Chen Wozi, and Brother Wozi will definitely become a confidant with you when he hears it! ”

Ma Cheng crossed into this era, the most headache is the name problem, a good name does not mention what words to say, the most annoying thing is to show that it is close to you, and finally don't say a word, directly use the number and place of origin, so that although Ma Cheng knows some celebrities, but hearing their words are confused.

Now Ma Luan is talking about this Chen Wozi, who does Ma Cheng know? There was no choice but to frown and ask: "Big brother, can you just say the name, the younger brother really doesn't know who this Chen Wozi is." ”

Ma Luan laughed when he heard Ma Cheng say this: "Second brother, you really should study more, Chen Wozi is the Chen Zilong you just admired, Brother Zilong!" Otaru! ”

It turned out that the handsome guy he met in the military department a few days ago was Chen Zilong, Ma Cheng knew that he had missed out on his favorite strategist, and he slapped his thigh with hatred.

"Oops! At that time, the younger brother wanted to know that it could be so rude? If you have the opportunity, you must apologize to Brother Wolzi! Ma Cheng looked at Ma Luan and asked, "Big brother, are you okay today!" It's better to go to see Chen Wozi with the younger brother, the younger brother is going to apologize! ”

Ma Luan smiled and said: "Brother Fool is going to meet friends today, and there is Chen Wozi inside, why don't you go with Brother Foolish!" ”

Ma Cheng had long wanted to meet Chen Zilong, but now when he heard Ma Luan say this, he hurriedly said, "Then the little brother will go with the eldest brother!" ”

Since Ma Cheng was going to visit Chen Zilong, of course he couldn't take Gu Xiying with him, so Ma Cheng had no choice but to leave Gu Xiying at home, and he himself and his eldest brother Ma Luan went to meet friends.

The location of Ma Luan's friends is in Xuanwu Lake, although the Qinhuai River in the city is a place of fat powder, but these friends of Ma Luan are basically Jinshi and Juren, where they can mix with those low-level scholars, so they agreed on the location of Xuanwu Lake outside the city.

Although Xuanwu Lake in the Ming Dynasty was a royal garden, it covered an area of too much, so many places became places for some tourists to stop.

Ma Luan took Ma Cheng out of the Shence Gate, and outside the door was the waterway connecting Xuanwu Lake and the Yangtze River, where a carved pleasure boat was parking.

This large ship is very imposing, with two floors, the top floor is the observation deck for sightseeing, and the cabin is below.

When he came to the front of the boat, a man who looked like a family member saw Ma Luan coming, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Ma Gongzi is here!" Come in! ”

Ma Luan nodded and asked, "Who has arrived!" ”

"Back to Ma Gongzi, Chen Gongzi, Xia Gongzi, Xu Gongzi, Wu Gongzi, and Hou Gongzi have all arrived!"

When Ma Luan heard this, he smiled and said, "A few of them came early!" After speaking, he took Ma Cheng onto the gangplank and entered the cabin.

The boat is very large, divided into three compartments, and the outermost is a reception room, where several people are now sitting and drinking tea.

Several people in the room stood up when they saw Ma Luan coming in, and one of them was an old guy in his forties who said with a smile: "Brother Bo Yuxian, we said just now, whoever comes late between you and Bijiang must be fined three glasses of wine!" ”

Ma Luan said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Bijiang has not arrived yet, and the little brother will not be punished for this wine!" ”

After Ma Luan finished speaking, he saw that several people in the room were looking behind him, and hurriedly introduced: "By the way, behind me is the second brother of the younger brother, Ma Cheng, the word Zhonghe, I know that we will be friends today, so I have to come to see and see first!" ”

It was normal for such social occasions in the Ming Dynasty to bring their younger brothers and nephews to participate, so everyone didn't think much about it.

Ma Cheng saw Chen Zilong sitting in the third place at first glance when he entered the room, Ma Cheng hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Brother Chen, a few days ago, the younger brother had no eyes, and he was disrespectful to Brother Chen, and the younger brother was guilty!" ”

Chen Zilong didn't have any ideas, and he couldn't say anything for the sake of his good friend Ma Luan's face, so he said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not guilty, please get up quickly!" ”

Ma Luan said on the side at this time: "Second brother, foolish brother will introduce you!" This is Brother Yi Zhong! This is Brother Yan, you know Brother Wozi! This is Brother Jun, this Virtuous Brother of Chaozong! You have to call him brother! ”

Ma Cheng had already asked Ma Luan who would participate today before he came, or he would definitely be confused by these names. In this way, Ma Cheng also has to divide these people into seats in his heart, the oldest bearded is Xia Yunyi, and the tallest and most handsome is Xu Fuyuan, this guy is the richest in the family, and he is Xu Jie's grandson back then. The third is Chen Zilong, who recognizes it, and the one next to him is Wu Weiye, the Wu Meicun who wrote the round and round square song in the Lu Ding Ji in later generations, and the last young man with a stinky face is Hou Fangyu.

Ma Cheng saluted several people according to Ma Luan's recommendation, and these people also stood up and saluted one after another.
