Hearing that someone was coming to visit and wanted to wash the dust for Cao Yue, Zhu Yujiao, who was very generous, was not unhappy, but told Cao Yue to have fun with his friends. She was tired anyway, so she could take a bath and fall asleep, and then wait for Cao Yue to come back and go to bed together.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess!" Cao Yue made an exaggerated salute, and when Zhu Yujiao was smiling, he stepped forward to hug her body, kissed her bitterly, and used both hands and mouths to make Zhu Yujiao panting, and she stopped being coquettish.

"Jiao'er, wait for your husband to come back, so that I can sleep after loving you!" Cao Yue made a very shameless move and walked out of the room.

Seeing Cao Yue come out, with a smug face, Chang Yanling couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Yue, has the princess agreed?" ”

"Let's go, just come back early!" Cao Yue smiled and waved at a few gentlemen.

"Brother Yue, you are really not simple, Da Ming is as comfortable as you, I'm afraid you are the only one," Chang Yanling looked envious.

They all know the grievances of the Daming concubine, and if they are asked to marry the princess as a concubine, they are a hundred unwilling. But when they heard that Cao Yue could bring the princess to Nanjing to serve as the governor of Nanjing, and that they could live in the princess's mansion with the princess, they knew that this concubine was different. Looking at it now, Cao Yue seems to be the master of the princess's mansion, the princess listens to him, and the other subordinates don't dare to stop him from doing anything. Cao Yue's previous actions, including making countless military exploits, commanding men and horses to attack Shengjing and destroying Jiannu's roots, training tens of thousands of horses in a few months, and finally defeating Liukou and Jiannu, these words of infinite worship, then now the transcendent status obtained after marrying the princess is even more admirable.

Qi Jiguang back then made many people envious and admired for his military exploits, but this guy was too sloppy at home, and he was pressed to death by his wife. Such a man, even if he has achieved great glory, is dwarf in front of women and is always looked down upon.

And Cao Yue can be said to make other men infinitely admired and envious in all aspects.

Chang Yanling, Guo Peimin, and Zhang Shize, with envy on their faces and admiration from the bottom of their hearts, followed Cao Yue out of the princess's mansion.

When they walked out of the princess's mansion, the three of them looked back at the brand-new princess's mansion behind them and said what was in their hearts.

"Brother Yue, you are so powerful, my brothers envy you, in the future, we will only respect you and learn some things from you, including how to deal with women!"

Looking at the shameless faces of several gentlemen, Cao Yue didn't bother to pay attention to it, and shouted impatiently: "When did you learn to be so verbose, if you want to drink, just be sharp, say, where are you going to take me." ”

Chang Yanling was not annoyed by Cao Yue's impatience at all, and said with a lewd look: "Brother Yue, we talked about Qin Huai Bayan's name when we were in Beijing, and today we will take it to meet one of them, I guarantee to amaze you!"

"Oh?!" When Cao Yue heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked curiously, "Which one of the Eight Yan do you want to take me to?" ”

"Keep it secret, you won't be a surprise when you say it!" Chang Yanling still had an obscene look on her face, "This girl, but she admires you very much, and has asked us several times about your heroic deeds, haha!"

Guo Peimin and Zhang Shize also laughed obscenely.

"Okay, I admit it, you have piqued my curiosity, take me to see this beauty you are talking about!" Cao Yue smiled bitterly twice, and immediately thought of the little wife in the house, and felt that it was a bit unfair for Zhu Yujiao to throw away the little wife and follow these fox friends to enjoy the beauties. But his strong curiosity still gave him the urge to see the legendary beauty.

The four of them rode horses, with a group of followers, and quickly headed towards the direction of the Qinhuai River.

In fact, where Cao Yue lived, it was not much away from the Qinhuai River, and he soon came to the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Compared to Beijing, Nanjing is more prosperous, which may be related to the impact of the war.

In Cao Yue's eyes, the current Beijing can not be said to be prosperous, maybe the war caused many people to flee from Beijing, but Nanjing was not affected by the war, no one fled, many people who left from Beijing, have settled here, and a prosperous and lively scene can be seen everywhere.

In fact, the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty was already very prosperous, in the late Ming Dynasty, due to the land annexation was very serious, the imperial court in order to cope with the war, repeatedly increased the sharpness, a large number of peasants could not bear the heavy tax burden, or lost their land, some became tenant farmers of large landowners, and some came to the city to become a workshop of hired laborers.

During the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan was very prosperous in commercial trade with Southeast Asia and the West, and a large number of processing workshops appeared in the Jiangnan area, such as silk, porcelain, tea, and weaving, which required a large number of craftsmen. These needs gave the people who fled the fields a basis for survival, and they sold their labor power in exchange for what they needed.

As commerce and trade flourished, more and more people lost their land. Even history textbooks have recorded that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the germ of capitalism had already appeared in the south of the Yangtze River, and if it were not for the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, capitalism would probably have appeared in the world before Europe.

As the saying goes, the prosperity of commerce and manufacturing has made Jiangnan more and more prosperous, and the "service industry" including restaurants, inns and pornography has also become more and more prosperous. The prosperity of Jiangnan is actually directly proportional to the prosperity of the Qinglou, which later generations called the industry. When he was in Datong, Cao Yue had said to his mother that he wanted to involve these industries, Cao Yue's mother Wu came to Nanjing, and also bought some industries, but they came to Nanjing for a long time, Cao Chao was a new post, the foundation was unstable, and the Yafeng Pavilion they bought did not have much reputation in the Qinhuai River area.

The main reason is that there are no heavyweight Oiran in charge, and those famous Qinglou Courtyards all have very famous pillars, such as Qin Huai Bayan.

In the area of the Qinhuai River, you can see Qinglou Courtyard everywhere, and at the entrance of each Qinglou Courtyard, many women dressed in heavy makeup are waving champas there to attract guests. Although it is now the beginning of the lanterns and the sky is not yet completely dark, there are many customers who come here.

Came to the Qinglou courtyard with the curtain of the "Qingxiang Building", several people got off the horse and threw the horses to the second child in the store. Chang Yanling took Cao Yue, Guo Peimin, and Zhang Shize and swaggered inside.

These three guys are regular customers here, and the ** in the store personally came out to greet them. This coquettish young woman, who looked to be about thirty years old, waved an incense tent, stepped forward to hold Chang Yanling's arm, and said coquettishly: "Ouch, Chang Gongzi has not been here for a few days, the girls are all worried about you, and they are going to be overjoyed when they finally come today." Guo Gongzi, Zhang Gongzi, Xiaochun and Yu'er often remember you, ah, this son's face is tight, Chang Gongzi's new friends? Hee-hee, hee-hee, hee-hee!"

Chang Yanling pulled **, whispered a few words in her ear, ** suddenly changed her face, turned around and looked at Cao Yue a few times, and the flattery just now was also put away, and finally saluted Cao Yue respectfully, but did not reveal Cao Yue's identity: "A few sons, go upstairs and sit first, and the concubine will arrange it for you!"

Saying that, he walked away!
