Chapter 126 Zhang Fu's old friend
The day of the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived, and Hu Ye wants to have a good night's sleep. But there are always people who can't get along with Hu Ye, and Zhang Fu ran to the Nameless Mansion early.
"Yezi, hurry up, let's do good deeds." Zhang Fu directly broke into Hu Ye's room, lifted Hu Ye's quilt and said.
Zhang Fu wants to do some good deeds, Hu Ye doesn't care, it's just that you go to do yours, why do you have to pull me. Lao Tzu slept lazily for the first time in a few months, and you didn't make people worry.
"No, no, no, I'm going to sleep." Hu Ye pulled the quilt impatiently and fell asleep again.
"Are you a pig reincarnated, you know how to sleep in a day." Zhang Fu is a persistent person, and this time he threw the quilt directly to the ground.
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, don't have a good reunion at home during the Dragon Boat Festival, go and do some good deeds. I'm really convinced. Hu Ye rubbed his sparse eyes and said with a yawn.
When Hu Ye finished washing up and came to the hall, he found that Zhang Fu was not the only one who came. Zhu Yong and Liu Pu, who went to Yanwang's Mansion with them to attend classes, also came, and they both carried a big basket in their hands. There are two others I don't know, but after Zhang Fu's introduction, I learned that one is Jin Zhong's youngest son, Jinda. The other is Li Yangming's youngest grandson, Li Tai.
"Brother Zhang, what is this for, where are so many people going." Hu Ye looked at this group of people in surprise and asked Zhang Fu curiously.
"Of course it's doing good deeds, don't you know that there are a lot of refugees outside the city gates? For the sake of security in Beiping City, those refugees were not allowed to enter the city, and His Royal Highness King Yan ordered people to cultivate many resettlement points outside. These are the victims who fled from Henan and Shanxi, and naturally they have no money on them, and today is the Dragon Boat Festival. They didn't have the money to buy zongzi, so I discussed it with these brothers. It is to give them rice dumplings. ”
Zhang Fu said and opened a basket, and Hu Ye found that it was full of zongzi. It's still steaming.
"This, Aunt Lan has already done it, so I don't have to go on this trip." Hu Ye yawned again, it seemed that he hadn't woken up yet.
"Hehe, since a few of us are going to do good deeds, how can we miss you." Zhang Fu smiled, and then Lao Qian came up with two baskets of zongzi, "This is what Aunt Lan is going to send out, I stopped it." Say you're going to send it over personally. ”
Zhang Fu pointed to the two baskets of zongzi and said with a smile.
Hu Ye was very helpless, what kind of trick did this Zhang Fu do today, I hadn't seen him do good deeds so actively in the past, but this time he even had to pull himself. But in front of so many people, Hu Ye didn't want to save Zhang Fu's face, "Okay, I'll accompany you on a trip." ”
"Haha, that's a good point." Zhang Fu haha smiled.
Lao Qian saw that Hu Ye was petite. He couldn't lift two baskets of zongzi, so he meant to help Hu Ye carry these two baskets of zongzi and protect Hu Ye by the way. As a result, Zhang Fu kicked over and lifted two baskets with one hand. said disdainfully, "With me here, who dares to touch a single hair of Yezi?" ”
Old Qian didn't dare to quarrel with this old boss. Knowing that he started a surge today, he definitely didn't have good fruit to eat. So Lao Qian could only glance at Hu Ye with envy, and then picked up the zongzi and gnawed on it.
Hu Ye didn't know what to envy about this. Aren't you just going to send out some zongzi?
This time he didn't go to Zhengyang Gate, but went all the way to the east and out of Dongzhi Gate, Hu Ye knew that there must be refugees everywhere outside Beiping City now, no matter which city gate he went out, the zongzi could be sent out.
After leaving Dongzhimen and coming to the concentration of refugees, Hu Ye found that there seemed to be more refugees than he imagined. It's only been May now, and the influx of refugees is already in the hundreds, and I believe that the more we go on, the more we will come. When he arrived in Zuihou, he would definitely pour into Beiping City, and at that time, Zhu Di would have to use the hundreds of thousands of stone grain in his stockpile.
Those refugees were very hungry, and when Zhang Fu led a group of people to deliver zongzi, they rushed up, and the thousands of zongzi sent by several people were snatched up. There are also a few little dolls who can only look at Hu Ye and them because they are slow.
Hu Ye touched the basket and found that it was empty, so in desperation, he had to take out some copper coins and let these dolls go to buy baked cakes by themselves. It seems that now the price of baked cakes has risen again, and it costs five copper coins each.
"Brother Zhang, it seems that His Royal Highness has to prepare to open a warehouse to release grain, and more soldiers will be sent over, the refugees will be very hungry, and they will become mobs, and the consequences will be very serious." Hu Ye looked at the ugly-looking refugees and said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness is much better at handling these things than us, and the warehouse only has a little food, and it will take the next few months, so now we can only provide them with one meal a day. The people of the city have also begun to tighten their food and clothing to cope with the increasingly severe drought, and should be able to harvest the millet harvest. Zhang Fu said.
"They were lucky enough to flee to Beiping. I heard that some of those who fled to Taiyuan Mansion were directly driven away by the commanders there, and those who did not leave were forcibly driven away by soldiers. Jinda said with a sigh.
"Okay, don't talk about these bad things, the country is in trouble, the emperor will not sit idly by, and will definitely allocate food for disaster relief. Let's not worry about it. Zhang Fu opened his mouth and said, then threw away the empty basket in his hand, pulled Hu Ye up and said, "Let's go, Yezi, brother will take you to a good place." ”
As soon as Zhang Fu said this, he saw the other four people with golden eyes and a look of anticipation. Hu Ye was very curious, what kind of good place made these people yearn for it so much.
Soon, Hu Ye got the answer.
Because Zhang Fu led everyone to the largest building outside Dongzhi Gate, he saw a big signboard hanging on the gate, which read "Drunken Moon Building".
If Hu Ye hadn't gone through the Qingfeng Tower incident last time, he would definitely think that this Zuiyue Building was a restaurant. But the last time he lost so much face, Hu Ye naturally remembered that most of the buildings built outside the city gate were green buildings.
Could it be that the good place in Zhang Fu's mouth is this green building!
Hu Ye was dumbfounded, and finally knew why there was such anticipation in the eyes of the four people just now. Forget about Jinda and Li Tai, they are both sixteen or seventeen-year-old adult guys. It's just that you Zhu Yong and Liu Pu have a lot of fun, and you can't stay in the land of fireworks at the age of twelve or thirteen.
"Brother Zhang, it's not good to come to this kind of place." Hu Ye said to Zhang Fu.
"Haha, Brother Hu, I heard that you are a merry scholar and have a lot of research on this fireworks land, so don't you pretend, don't you come to this place just to have a good time." Jinda said with a smile.
Hu Ye really wanted to kick this Jinda, but he wasn't familiar with it yet, so forget it. I must have that bastard Jin Zhong went back to add fuel and vinegar, and portrayed himself as a prodigal son, and this account must be settled in the future.
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Hu to behave in the Yanwang Mansion, but he has such a good reputation outside, I really admire and admire." At this time, Zhu Yong also spoke.
For Zhu Yong, Hu Ye didn't give a good face, and often dismantled his own stage in the primary school, so he kicked it unceremoniously. But Zhu Yong is Zhu Neng's son, and he has the true legend that his father can jump, and Hu Ye didn't even succeed in kicking his feet.
"Ouch, isn't this Mr. Zhang, what a rare guest." Just as Hu Ye was about to kick out the third kick, a woman in her forties walked out of the Zuiyue Building, wearing heavy makeup and smiling, and walked towards Zhang Fu and the others.
"Aunt Zhao, aren't we here?" Zhang Fu smiled slightly, and took these people into the Drunken Moon Tower.
Hu Ye didn't want to go in, but he was lifted in by Zhang Fu, not giving him any room to resist.
Hu Ye thought to himself, as a unique product of ancient China, it is not a bad thing to go in and take a look, besides, his reputation has long been ruined, and the name of the place where he loves fireworks has long been worn on his head, so he simply came to it for real.
The Zuiyue Building was very large, Zhang Fu put Hu Ye down, and then a group of people followed Zhao Yi to a large private room on the second floor.
"Zhang Gongzi, is it still Ziyue?" Aunt Zhao asked directly, it seems that Zhang Fu is a frequent visitor here, and this Aunt Zhao is very familiar with him.
Hu Ye is surprised, Li is now pregnant at home, so Zhang Fu is allowed to come out like this?
"Yezi, don't think about going back to make a small report, Xiang'er knows about this. Every year, I have such a day to come to this Zuiyue Tower, which is the promise that Xiang'er gave me back then, and it is also my promise to Ziyue. Zhang Fu glanced at Hu Ye's puzzled eyes, knowing what Hu Ye was thinking now, so he reminded him.
"Well, I don't like to make small reports, I'm just curious, who can get such love from Brother Zhang." Hu Ye smiled awkwardly, it was still very shameless to be exposed in person.
The rest of the people also smiled when they saw this, they didn't feel uncomfortable at all, it seems that they are also frequent visitors to this Drunken Moon Building, and they are also clear about Zhang Fu's affairs.
"Brother Hu, the girls here are very punctual, I came here once last year, and I have been reminiscing about that feeling for several days." Liu Pu leaned over at this time and whispered in Hu Ye's ear.
Hu Ye's face darkened, this Liu Pu was only thirteen years old, and he was twelve years old last year. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty was so open, and he began to visit this kind of place at the age of twelve. Then he glanced at Zhang Fu and Jinda, and saw that they were full of smiles, and knew that Liu Pu and Zhu Yong were abducted by those two.
Li Tai seems to be a frequent visitor, but as the grandson of Confucianism, he still has to be a little reserved, and he sits there elegantly and sippers tea.
In a short time five girls came into the room, the older ones were seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger ones looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.
As soon as they entered, they did not come to the stunned gentlemen, but danced.
Hu Ye has long heard that the Qinglou is different from the brothel, the girls here are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and now it seems that this dance skill is also good.
Just when these gentlemen were fascinated, a girl dressed in purple walked in, about eighteen years old, with long hair fluttering, a melon seed face, and big watery eyes. Humming a charming tune, he came to dance among the five girls.
Hu Ye turned his head to look at Zhang Fu, and found that his eyes had completely changed, and suddenly remembered that Xu Miaoyin once said that Zhang Fu had an old friend, who was in this Drunken Moon Tower, which seemed to be called Ziyue.
"Could it be that this person is Ziyue?" Hu Ye looked at the girl dancing in the middle and couldn't help but guess. (To be continued......)
