Chapter 259: Returning to China
Besides, if King Su sincerely wants to rebel, then it is useless to detain his mother, those who do not care about the family for the world, Liu Bang still wanted to eat his father's flesh back then, how could a tyrant give up the world for one person?
Give him this favor, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and said slowly: "It's good that you have this filial piety." I approve your request, so take your mother with you when you return to Su Guo this time, and take good care of her when you arrive in Su Guo. ”
Zhu Ao was overjoyed, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for your father's grace, and my son has thanked my father for my mother." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, okay." The family doesn't want to fix these vain, you step down, I'm tired, and I want to rest. After speaking, he yawned, it seemed that he was really tired, and he didn't mean to drive Zhu Ao away.
People are getting older, and it's not okay if they don't accept old age.
Zhu Ao respectfully kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "The son of the minister retires, and I hope that my father will take care of the dragon's body." Then, respectfully withdrawing from the temple.
This time, the harvest of the face saint is quite large, not only can he welcome back his mother, but also control the local forces of the king of Qin, the king of Qing, and the king of Shu, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
However, Zhu Ao was not carried away by all this, he knew that he could not get all this because Zhu Yuanzhang favored him, if Lao Zhu favored him, he would not have to worry so much all day long, how good it would be to be a vassal king who eats and waits for death.
He knew that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was so good to him was completely because of the pressure brought to him by the Timurid Empire, frankly speaking, according to the current situation, the greatest threat to the Ming Dynasty was this Timurid Empire, and he had released obvious hostility towards the Ming Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, Lao Zhu needs himself now, so he will agree to so many requests and give himself so many benefits for the first time, this is the situation to create heroes, if you dare to mention these requirements to Lao Zhu in normal times, you will definitely be scolded by him.
Zhu Ao also bullied Zhu Yuanzhang for being a native of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't know that in history, this Timur died during the Eastern Crusade, and he didn't put any pressure on the Ming Dynasty at all. Of course, Zhu Ao would not tell Zhu Yuanzhang about these things.
Of course, he will not take it lightly because of these things, because he knows that the history he has experienced has been disconnected from the original history, and if he did not fight before, it does not mean that he will not fight in the future.
After Zhu Ao returned home, she first told her mother Gao the news, Gao was overjoyed, she never dreamed that Zhu Yuanzhang would agree to her son's request.
This palace is cold to her, she doesn't want to stay for a long time, only her son can affect her emotions in this world, she dreams of being with her son, she didn't expect this wish to come true today, it seems that she eats fast and recites Buddha every day is still beneficial.
Next, it's the matter of the twin sisters, this is the coolest thing he encountered when he returned to Beijing this time, Qu Zhongxin's side has already been arranged, presumably there will be no mistakes, and the next thing is to sit and wait for the harvest season.
Zhu Ao came to the inn according to the time agreed by both parties, and when the innkeeper saw him coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile and led him to the private room. ”
Zhu Ao sat on the chair casually and said with a smile: "She is a little uncomfortable, I sent her back to recuperate." Dare to ask what Brother Ling does for a living? ”
The innkeeper smiled: "They are all ordinary farmers, and life is relatively tight." ”
This answer did not come out of Zhu Ao's expectations, in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the dictatorship of foreign relatives, all the show girls were elected from the people, and they were not considered to be engaged in business and other industries, so most of them were born in peasant families.
Zhu Ao also secretly investigated the background of the family, and knew that the twins also had two elder brothers, both of whom were brave and powerful people, and they usually practiced martial arts well in addition to work, but there was no way, and there was no place for martial arts. He is very fond of brave people, these two people are good to use, that is his Guo Ying brother, so he has the heart to recruit, and said: "There is also quite a lot of industry in the northwest, it is better to ask the shopkeeper to tell their family to go to the northwest with me to develop, it is better than being poor here." ”
The shopkeeper was also quite surprised by Zhu Ao's proposal, it was rare for him to be willing to help his father-in-law's family, his eyes rolled, and he said to Zhu Ao with a smile: "It is naturally good for the son to take their family, I don't think they will refuse." ”
The affair is over, during this time, our Sheng Yong and the great talent have also been entangled in the hotel for a long time, and the entanglement is because of the choice, he is now facing two choices, the first is to continue to stay here to take the imperial examination, waiting for the day to hit the big luck and leap into the dragon gate to realize the value of his life, the second is to follow King Su to the northwest, you can be an official immediately, and you don't have to live this kind of life under the fence, but from then on, it is more and more distant from your dream of entering the phase, and it is very likely that it will not be realized in this life. After all, no matter how capable he is, he is still a concubine, a vassal king, and he will never become an emperor.
After thinking about it for a few days, Sheng Yong still decided to take the second path, not because of anything else, but because he was poor, he was in his thirties, half of his life had passed, and he didn't dare to gamble anymore. He knew that King Su was about to return to Fengguo, and he didn't know when he would come next time, and after he came, it was difficult to say whether he remembered himself. If this opportunity is missed, if the imperial court does not admit him, won't he have to spend his life in poverty? Thinking of his seventy-year-old mother and teenage son, as well as his talent and ambitions, Sheng Yong was unwilling, really unwilling!
Instead of being buried at the bottom of society like this, it is better to go to Su Guobo, even if you can't leave a name in history, you can get an official and a half-job, and find a way out for yourself and your family.
After deciding, Sheng Yong expressed his willingness to go to Suguo to Zhu Ao on the spot, and Zhu Ao was naturally happy to accept it, first arranging for him to report to Qu Zhongxin's store, and when everything was ready, he would drive back to Suguo with the large army.
In the blink of an eye, it has been the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, and Zhu Ao has been in Jinling for a few months, and in the past few months, in addition to meeting Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunwen, Guo Ningfei and other heavyweights, Zhu Ao's main time is to take care of his business.
During this time, his various businesses were on track, but they were also different. Roast duck restaurant and Chongqing hot pot are okay, people will not refuse delicious things, and they have caused huge repercussions when they came out, but the entertainment industry he opened is quite controversial.
Some of the gentlemen and prodigal sons in the capital were naturally very interested in the dance troupe trained by Zhu Ao, and this kind of visual impact that had never been seen before in history caused them great stimulation, and they came in groups every day to cheer and reward a lot of money, in order to do some research work with these exotic dancers. It is said that some people have lost their families because of this.
However, some Confucian scholars, mainly Fang Xiaoru, vigorously criticized this, thinking that those women's dances were too explicit and too sultry, even if they were trapped in the Qinglou, they could not be so depraved, and they had to hold a little shelf.
Zhu Ao really doesn't understand the thoughts of this group of people, they have already become bitches, what kind of archway do they set up, anyway, they are all out to sell, what kind of lady is not a lady? As long as you can make the guests happy, isn't it? However, it is not difficult to understand when you think about what this type of person has always done, after all, they are such a type of person.
Zhu Ao ignores this kind of gossip and rumors of Confucian scholars, someone will hack you whatever you do, and there will be bad sunspots to leave bad reviews when you write one, and you will be entangled in such things all day long, and you must not exhaust yourself to death?
On this night, several young people dressed as scholars met in Qin Huaihe and went to Zhu Ao's venue together, and one of them shook his head and said, "Brother Wenyuan, why did you ask us to come here?" Haven't you and your teacher, Mr. Fang Xiaoru, been criticizing this place? ”
Brother Wen Yuan took out a fan and shook it, although the weather is still very cool, shaking a fan is easy to catch a cold, but since ancient times, there have been people who want demeanor not temperature, don't take out a fan to shake two, how to reflect the demeanor of a scholar, and said with a smile: "I just want to come and see for myself today, how much can the singing and dancing here be corrupt, and I can continue to write articles to criticize." ”
"It makes sense, the article is taken from what I have seen and heard, and Brother Wen Yuan is really a model for my generation." Several other youths flattered one after another. The group then walked into this large entertainment venue.
"A few gentlemen, please. There is also a place upstairs. When the little guy who ran the hall saw a guest coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Set us a table of good wine, find a seat with a good view, and your reward will be indispensable." Brother Wen Yuan said very generously, as the champion of today's department, he is really heroic.
"Okay. Guarantee your satisfaction. The little guy who ran the hall took them to the second floor with a good view, and then turned away, beckoning the others to serve them very attentively.
There's a big cabaret tonight, and it's already full of people, all waiting for the night to be in full swing.
"After all, these people are ordinary people, they can't control it when they see women, how can they achieve great things?" Brother Wen Yuan pouted with disdain, and the fan in his hand was still shaking.
"What Brother Wen Yuan said is extremely true, indulging in gentleness, how can it be the so-called husband, presumably after tonight, Brother Wen Yuan's wonderful pen can write a good article again."
"yes, yes. We are waiting to worship Brother Wen Yuan's masterpiece. The young people were shooting again.
"Boom!" A gong sounded, and the scene instantly fell silent. On the stage, a middle-aged host shouted at the top of his voice: "Thanks to all of you, tonight our girl group here will dance fifteen exotic dances in a row, and please support you a lot, and reward the beauties with a few more gouache money." ”
"Got it, got it. If they dance well, we will naturally give them a reward. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, let's get started."
The audience below began to get impatient, and both those who had seen it before and those who had not seen it before shouted in unison, they were already impatient.
Brother Wen Yuan and his friends shook their heads frequently, lamenting that the world was declining, how could people in the dignified imperial capital like this kind of vulgar culture and art.
"Okay, the auspicious time has come, let's start, and invite the girls to the stage." The host shouted passionately.
Immediately, six stunning mermaids dressed in modern sexy clothes rushed in, and the audience was full of applause. Brother Wen Yuan's tiger body also shook slightly.
After these six beauties greeted the audience, they began their sexy and sultry performances, which immediately aroused layers of cheers.
When it came to the seventh dance, the atmosphere of the scene reached its climax, and there were faint signs of getting out of control.
"Brother Wen Yuan, Brother Wen Yuan, what's wrong with you?" "You don't want to be like this, Brother Wenyuan."
Seeing that this Brother Wen Yuan, who was still arrogant just now, was like the group of gentlemen below, whistling, standing up, rolling up his sleeves and cheering: "I love you, I love you!" I'm going to let you give me monkeys! ”
"Brother Wenyuan, be sober." "Brother Wenyuan, you are the proud disciple of Mr. Fang Xiaoru, the great sage today."
"You're the best in the current department!"
A series of shouts from his companions could not bring this Wen Yuan brother, who had been addicted to it, back to reality.
It's been a long time to live in the capital, and it's time to resign and return to China, not to mention that everything that needs to be done has been done, and there is no regret about returning to China at this time.
After Zhu Ao said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen, he took Qu Zhongxin, Sheng Yong and others to serve his mother and returned to Su Guo in a mighty manner.
While on the boat, the twins and their families learned that this young man with the pseudonym Qu Zhongxin was actually the famous King Su.
Zhu Ao had long known that the twins' surname was Zhao, the sister's name was Zhao Xiaowan, and the sister's name was Zhao Xiaoqi, so he naturally unceremoniously included them in the room.
"Xiaoqi, come over and let the widow kiss her." Zhu Ao drank some wine, squinted, and said drunkly.
"The king is wrong again, the concubine is Xiaowan." Zhao Xiaowan pouted, sat down in Zhu Ao's arms and said.
These two people look too similar to each other and can only be distinguished by their clothes, and if they are wearing the same clothes, they don't know who is who. Once the two of them are still exactly the same twin sisters, this feeling is as cool as it is, I really didn't expect that I still have this situation.
Regardless of his sisters and sisters, they are all widowed pets!
With the company of the two new beauties, Zhu Ao's journey will naturally not be lonely, time flies quickly, and he arrived in Su in a blink of an eye. Everyone got off the boat and took the car, and it didn't take long to arrive at Dunhuang, the capital of Su State.
Dunhuang since Zhu Ao set the capital, the city wall has been heightened and strengthened a lot, he is a very insecure person, where he lives, must be 100% safe.
