Volume 3 Chapter 14 A Private Interview with Weifu

Nanjing was called Jinling and Jiankang in ancient times, it was called Jiqing Road in the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang changed to Yingtianfu and set the capital here after capturing Jiqing, Zhu Di launched the battle of Jingjing to seize the throne of Emperor Jianwen and moved the capital to Shuntianfu, changed Yingtianfu to stay in the capital, also called Nanjing, Jingshi Shuntianfu, and Fengyang Mansion in the middle capital was one of the capitals of the Ming Dynasty.

Nanjing, as the capital, has been one of the largest cities in the world since the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, and by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it had a population of 1.2 million, becoming the largest capital city in the world. Among them, the Qinhuai is the most prosperous in ten miles, a river is separated by two banks of the river, on one side is the Jiangnan Gongyuan, the general examination hall of the southern region, and on the other side is the place where the famous people of the southern sect gather, the most famous is the old courtyard and the pearl market.

On this day, the largest inn on Agarwood Street in the old courtyard ushered in a large group of guests, led by four young people with lofty spirits, and there were no less than 100 guards on the left and right, and they firmly guarded the eight sedan chairs in the middle, and they didn't know what amazing characters were inside.

The shopkeeper on duty in Drunken Immortal Residence did not panic, as a large inn in Nanjing, they received a lot of this kind of big people, not to mention one or two hundred people, he had seen thousands of people. Now that there are more rich people in Jiangnan, they bring hundreds or thousands of guards and slaves to the Qinhuai River at every turn, and the scale in front of them is still small.

These people may have come for the Oiran conference at the end of the month, and as soon as they came in, they booked a compound with a celestial size, and they booked it for half a month. Although the shopkeeper has not yet seen the main master, he can roughly guess the identity of this person from the guards who are entourage, and some of the guards are obviously eunuchs who have passed away, and this master is either the son of a prince's family or a relative of a prince.

Sure enough, after these people lived in the Tianzihao compound, the four young men who led the way and a eunuch who looked like a housekeeper led a little boy and a beautiful twenty-eight girl surrounded by more than a dozen guards to dine in the Drunken Immortal Building.

But this son is too young, not ten years old, and the stunning girl next to him is not comparable to the rouge vulgar fan on the bank of the Qinhuai River, is this really coming to see the Oiran Conference?

Who is this little boy? Naturally, our little emperor Zhu Cijiong, it turned out that he was really bored in Fengyang Mansion, Luo Yangxing happened to come to report, Zhao Zhilong and his gang of local wealthy families in Jiangnan He has almost checked, but these people are generally busy everywhere, and they rarely get together, so it is quite difficult to capture them in one fell swoop.

At the end of the month, it is the annual Oiran Conference in Jinling City, and the heads and brains of these wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River will generally come to observe, after all, it is a face-saving thing to buy an Oiran back, and they have always been happy to do it. When the time comes, it will not be too easy to catch people around the drunken immortal residence, where this event will be held.

As soon as our little emperor Zhu Cijiong heard that there was an Oiran conference, he immediately became interested, this ancient entertainment is too few, and it is not a pity not to participate in this kind of grand event. Although he can't do anything yet, it's always okay to go to see the world, so he decided to go to participate in person, Kangxi Weifu private interview he has read a few times, and he has long wanted to go to Weifu for a private visit.

Don't look at Zhu Cijiong is only eight years old, his prestige has already been established, it can really be described as a golden mouth, no one dares to object to such a ridiculous thing, so he can only mobilize all the masters of Dongchang and Jinyiwei to act as his guards. Don't look at the only 100 people, these people are all masters of the masters, and all of them can defeat a hundred ...... Of course, it's unlikely, but it's still possible to do it with a block of ten or even dozens. Coupled with Cao Huachun, Qin Gongming, Qin Yiming, and Qin Mingyue, I am afraid that even if there are 100,000 troops, they will not want to keep our little emperor.

There is no problem with this safety, our little emperor is naturally rushing to Nanjing City, and as soon as he stays in the Drunken Immortal Residence, he can't wait to go to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat, not that he is hungry, but to see how rich these local tyrants in Jiangnan are.

Zuixian Building is a two-storey restaurant near the river, covering an area of thousands of square meters, and there is a large theater building of hundreds of square meters in front of the building, which is the venue for the Oiran Conference. Of course, it's not time yet, there are no Oiran competitions on it, only some troupes are singing local songs.

Zhu Cijiong and the others entered the Drunken Immortal Building and were about to find a place to sit down, but the shopkeeper hurriedly ran up and persuaded them. It turns out that this drunken fairy building is also divided into grades, the first floor is about a few dozen taels of silver a table, but the second floor is a few hundred taels a table, this shopkeeper has long known that they are distinguished guests, and when they see that they want to sit down on the first floor, they naturally hurry up to stop it.

On the ground in Jinling, it is very face-saving, and if you sit on the first floor, it means that you are just a small person and cannot get on the stage. Don't look at the young age of this son, it is a prince and nobleman, the shopkeeper naturally does not dare to let him sit on the first floor, if he is despised by others, he will start to rush, he may not be able to demolish the drunken fairy building, but it is still very easy to dismantle his little shopkeeper.

Zhu Cijiong heard that there was still this rule, so he naturally wanted to go up to the second floor, he came to see the local tyrants, not the little people.

The second floor is really much higher than the first floor, and there are more than a dozen tables near the theater building, and the side facing the river is full of flowers and bonsai, which are arranged like a garden. At this time, there were only a few tables of people on the second floor, so Zhu Cijiong casually found a table and beckoned everyone to sit down, and then picked up the menu on the table and looked at it.

Good guy, I really don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, a plate of green vegetables costs more than ten taels of silver, what crystal elbow, braised lion's head, Dongpo meat is dozens of taels a serving, Jiangnan, it's really not an ordinary rich!

He was thinking about what to order, when a hearty laugh suddenly sounded at the table next to him: "Hahahaha, Zheng Gongzi, fortunately, I am still used to staying in Jinling City, I have long wanted to visit you, I have not had time, ashamed, ashamed." ”

Zhu Cijiong's brows were furrowed by this laughter, and he asked Luo Yangxing next to him in a low voice: "Who is this, so arrogant." ”

Luo Yangxing whispered: "Back to the emperor, it is Chen Zengyu, the son of Si'en Marquis Chen Bangfu, who has some influence in Jinling. ”

It turned out to be the son of a marquis's family, no wonder he was so arrogant, but who was he so polite to, was he a duke? Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but look in the direction of his arched hand, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded at this look, this one was not a duke, but a child younger than him!

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is that kid?" ”

Luo Yangxing looked at the child carefully, and couldn't help but blush, he didn't even know this child!

He couldn't help but be annoyed and said to the master of the brocade guard standing behind him: "Go check it immediately, the sooner the better." ”

A master of the brocade guard gave up his hand and rushed downstairs, and after a while, he came up and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this child is Zheng Sen, the son of Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian." ”

Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Sen, isn't that the later Yanping King Zheng Chenggong!
