Disturbed? Why are you upset? Could it be that there will be someone in Suzhou who will be against us? ”

Zhang Zhiji shook his head and said, "No, the uneasiness in my heart is the feeling of gaining and losing, not the danger I encountered." ”

Luo Yangxing shook his head and said, "It's so mysterious......

"It's that sense of uneasiness that is more timid about homesickness, you know?" , Zhang Zhiji excitedly pressed Luo Yangxing's shoulder.

Luo Yangxing opened Zhang Zhiji's hands and said, "This person who has been a big soldier doesn't know that his hands are very heavy?" Saying that, he shook his shoulder, which was pinched by Zhang Zhiji, and said, "I think I finally remembered a poem to show off to me, right?" It's even more timid to be close to home, how come I don't know when Suzhou became my hometown? ”

"Alas, if I don't talk to this vulgar person, I don't understand that delicate feeling."

The carriage traveled for less than half an hour and stopped outside a courtyard, a group of people got off the carriage, the house here is different from the high-walled compound of the capital, only from the outside to feel a lot more restrained, someone outside the gate of the courtyard has already opened the gate and waited, Qian Cai led Zhu Youzhen into the courtyard, there is no shadow wall at the entrance, the eyes are all green trees, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, row upon row.

At this time, there were only Zhu Youzhen and Qian Cai in the room, Zhu Youzhen was eating white porridge and asked: "I heard Xu Yun say on the way, the situation in Suzhou Mansion does not seem to be as grim as stated in the letter?" ”

Qian Cai wanted to wait for Zhu Youzhen to finish eating porridge and then talk to him about the situation in Suzhou Mansion, but when he asked at this time, Qian Qian was not bad and waited, he said: "Xu Yun is just one of Wan Yutai's many shopkeepers, what we see is just what we do, and we don't know much, not only Xu Yun, people who don't know the details of it, they all think that Wan Yutai's business is very big, but few people can see the crisis." ”

Zhu Youzhen ate the last grain of rice in the bowl, put down the bowl and asked, "What is the price of grain now?" ”

Qian Cai heard Zhu Youzhen mention the price of grain, and couldn't help sighing and said: "It's already five taels of silver and one stone." ”

"What?" , Zhu Youzhen was shocked, he went all the way from the capital to Suzhou Mansion, even the most severely affected place in Shandong was only three taels of silver and one stone, and Suzhou Mansion, a land rich in fish and rice, actually cost five taels of silver and one stone, "Is the grain market in Suzhou Mansion crazy to this extent?" It's nearly twice as expensive as the price of grain in Shandong? ”

"When is the price of grain in Shandong that Your Highness is talking about?"

"Seven or eight days ago."

"Yes, today's grain price is one price a day, maybe Shandong's grain price has not received the news, or Shandong's grain is very little in circulation in the market, all under the control of the government, and the grain price in Suzhou is no longer under the control of the government, not to mention that the grain market in Suzhou is also partly due to the government's efforts."

"Even the government is involved? Then this matter will be lively, and this matter is not in a hurry, so I will let Xu Yun accompany me around Suzhou Mansion in the past two days. ”

Qian Cai nodded, took a few ledgers from his sleeve and placed them on the table, and then withdrew.

Zhu Youzhen picked up the account book and flipped through it casually, just looking at the dense fly-headed small characters, he was a little drowsy, if this account book used Arabic numerals, Zhu Youzhen could still understand one or two, but the current method of bookkeeping, there is no account room next to the staff, Zhu Youzhen felt that reading the book of heaven was nothing more than that, just read a few pages randomly, Zhu Youzhen threw the account book aside.

During the day, after Qian Cai left Zhu You's office, he was busy with business and never saw anyone again, and it wasn't until the evening that Qian Cai appeared in Zhu You's inspection room again, and he was there

After waiting outside for a long time, I saw two smartly dressed teenagers coming out of the room, one of them was Zhu Youzhen, and the other was Jinxiu dressed as a small servant.

Zhu Youzhen beckoned to Qian Cai, who was sitting there drinking tea, and said, "Let's go." ”

Jinxiu hurriedly put down the teacup and followed Zhu Youzhen out of the door, and asked as she walked, "Does Your Highness know the arrangements for this trip?" So deliberately let the splendid girl change into men's clothes early? ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen heard that Qian Cai's words were wrong, he hurriedly asked, "What arrangement?" I just think that Jinxiu is convenient to come forward in men's clothes at the same table, and those vulgar rules are not looked down upon by my son, so I can't go out to eat and drink spicy and let Jinxiu wait in the room or watch from the sidelines. ”

"Oh, I see, it's my subordinates who think too much."

Zhu Youzhen said: "Didn't you really put the banquet in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion?" ”

Qian Cai hurriedly said: "That's not true, it's just that there is no wine and no banquet, and there is no music and no feast. ”

Zhu Youzhen was relieved, although he didn't hold a banquet in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, but the silk and bamboo dance music would not be less, but this money was also a good intention, he didn't say anything, not to mention that he couldn't say that he couldn't reject these, but it was just that things that were too explicit were not convenient for Jinxiu.

"Who are you at today's feast?"

Qian Cai replied: "Knowing that His Highness doesn't want to reveal his identity, except for His Highness and his party today, they are all some shopkeepers below. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Calling me Gongzi during this period of time is to call me His Royal Highness, no matter who has been before or after him, don't call me His Royal Highness anymore." ”

Money nodded in response.

Not long after the three of them left, they saw Luo Yanghe and Zhang Zhiji waiting in front, this was Qian Cai who ordered others to greet them, and only Zhu Youzhen was personally invited by him.

The place where the banquet was set up was quite chic, just on the Dushu Lake behind the courtyard, several people came to the lake, there was already a huge painting boat parked on the lake, as soon as he saw the pink curtain floating in the lake breeze, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but think of the small shop with pink lights that he often saw in his previous life hanging the "Wenzhou Hair Salon" signboard.

Several people boarded the painting boat, and the accompanying shopkeepers mentioned by Qian Cai had been waiting in the painting boat for a long time, and among these shopkeepers was Xu Yunxu, who Zhu Youzhen had seen before.

As soon as they saw the money coming, those people hurriedly got up to greet each other, and then looked at the group of people next to the money, except for the two entourage guards who looked a little older, the others were just teenagers, these shopkeepers who were calling for wind and rain in Suzhou Mansion on weekdays couldn't figure out the identity of these teenagers for a while, so they didn't dare to speak, only the shopkeeper Xu walked with these people all the way can be regarded as acquaintances, and when he arrived in Suzhou Mansion in the morning, he saw Qian Cai's respectful appearance, so he knew that the identity of these people must be unusual, and only he stepped forward to greet a few people.

After a little greeting, the group sat down, and Qian Cai gave the main seat to Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen did not shirk, and pulled Jinxiu to sit in the middle, Jinxiu is a little unnatural, how can the people at this table not be able to sit next to Zhu Youzhen, but if you talk about it in detail, she can only sit at a table with Gao Han, Hu Bao and others, or even a seat, so Jinxiu had to sit firmly next to Zhu Youzhen.

Just look at the wine and food on the table, the beasts in the mountains, the swallows in the clouds, the fresh cattle and sheep on the land, the shark fins of the monkey's head bird's nest, the dried scallops and the tip of the deer's tail, and the two wines with roasted yellow wine, even the banquet in the palace is nothing more than that.

Zhu Youzhen said: "It's a bit extravagant. ”

Qian Cai said: "I heard that the young master said that they have suffered a lot along the way, and this banquet should improve the guys these days."

Eat, if the son feels extravagant, it will be simpler in the future, but today he specially picked up the wind and washed the dust for the son and his party, and it can't be shabby. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Qian Cai and said jokingly: "This body type should also eat some light, if this goes on like this, this body is also prone to problems." ”

Qian Cai smiled, didn't pick up the stubble, clapped his hands towards the back, and the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly sounded in the painting boat.

Qian Cai picked up the wine glass, got up and said to Zhu Youzhen: "This first glass of wine is to wash the dust for several sons." After speaking, the money raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

At the beginning, the atmosphere on the table was quite restrained, and the shopkeepers and Zhu Youzhen didn't know each other, but they had three glasses of water and wine, and after Qian Cai was introduced to a group of people, the words of these people gradually increased, and the atmosphere finally warmed up.

Silk and bamboo songs, painting the boat behind the curtain came out of the beauty singing, at first were some delicate lyrics and songs, the breeze blows, the veil is slightly raised, faintly visible behind the curtain of the tulle possessed by the graceful posture, straight to see the Luo Yang dry mouth.

After the two songs, Luo Yang said dissatisfiedly: "When did Lao Qian start to eat vegetarian?" It's not that way when you're in the capital. After speaking, Luo Yangxing smiled at the back of the curtain and said, "Young ladies in the back, is there a bit of meat?" ”

These singing girls are invited from the building, don't say that there is a bit of meat, even the big meat is not a problem, at first it was just that they were ordered not to go overboard, at this time when they heard the greeting of the guests outside, a girl giggled and said: "According to the orders of the son." ”

After that, the sound of the piano was tactful, and he sang after hearing the curtain: "Su Yue has a small waist, and he can't help hurting the spring, and the evening makeup is new under the shadow of the plum." It looks like a light cloud. The song skillfully moves the red lips, the words are delicate, and the peach blossoms are deep and deep. The tent looked at the night moon in Yaotai, and returned to the wheel. ”

After singing a song, Luo Yangxing stroked his palms and laughed: "What a song skillfully moves the lips, the words are delicate, a good peach blossom deep path and a tongjin, it is really graceful enough, emotional enough, I like it." ”

Jinxiu next to Zhu Youzhen felt a little unbearable when he heard this lyrics and songs, coupled with Luo Yang's repetition, he couldn't help but say lightly: "Shameless, pervert." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper of a row next to Xu Yun said: "This little boy has never felt the taste of the world at first glance, and the taste of ecstasy bones is really evocative, this lyrics and music are already subtle." ”

Jinxiu listened to what the man said about obscenity, coupled with that obscene look, which made her feel ashamed for a while, but this person was not familiar with it, and she could blame her at will like Luo Yangxing, so she simply kept silent.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Jinxiu and felt very funny, in addition to those invited girls in this painting boat, there was only a girl in Jinxiu dressed as a man, the shopkeeper did not know why, naturally he did not choose to speak, he relieved the siege and said: "This Yi'an Jushi's "Huanxi Sha" is a pure and touching little word, but it has been misinterpreted, the second half of the meaning is that the beauty lightly opened her lips and sang smartly, and her voice seemed to be coquettish and angry. She quietly looked at the peach blossom path leading to the ferry in front of her, and the peach blossom path was particularly deep at this time. At night, she looked melancholy at the bright moon in the sky, thinking of her lover on the way home under the moonlight. ”

Jinxiu didn't know that this word was written by Li Qingzhao, so when he heard Zhu Youzhen's explanation, his heart suddenly felt much more comfortable.

It's just that such an explanation has attracted the dissatisfaction of others, Luo Yangxing said: "There is no artistic conception that such a beautiful lyrics and music has been misinterpreted, and the peach blossoms are deep and beautiful, what a subtle and beautiful tune, I really don't understand the beauty of poetry." ”

Zhang Zhiji said with a smile: "If you dare to say that the fifth brother doesn't understand poetry, Lao Luo is also the first one." ”
