As soon as the sky was bright, Zhou Zheng rushed to the Jade House and waited, standing respectfully at the door of Cheng Mofang, watching the open space at the door gradually brighten, the sun rose, and the sunlight came in. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Heizi came out and ordered the guys to bring breakfast in, and it seemed that Cheng Mo had finished washing up and was about to eat.

Zhou Zheng smiled at the sunspot and greeted him in a friendly manner.

Kuroko nodded at him and went in, without informing him.

Half an hour later, Cheng Mo finished breakfast, drank tea, remembered something, and said casually: "What about Zhou Zhoumu?" Didn't you say you wanted to go together? ”

Heizi said: "Zhou Zhoumu has come. ”

Outside the door, Zhou Zheng, who heard the conversation between the two clearly, burst into tears, is he so non-existent?

"Oh, here? Let him in. ”

Subsequently, Zhou Zheng was invited in.

Cheng Mo stood by the window, overlooking Yangzhou City, and didn't seem to know that he had come in. He saluted respectfully, then took a few steps forward, walked about three steps behind Cheng Mo, and said, "Lord Wang, you see, the east side is the residence of the gentry, and the gardens are lined up, and the west side is the dwellings ......."

He introduced them one by one, but he didn't lie. Jade House is located in the center of Dongcheng, originally a cloth merchant's mansion, Shen San sent his sister to Zhou Zheng as a concubine, forcibly bought this mansion with less than thirty percent of the price, the cloth merchant was afraid of Zhou Zheng's power, dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, in a fit of anger, simply moved outside the city.

Shen San demolished the front and back yards of the cloth merchants, kept the garden, and built this three-story jade residence. The three-storey building is made of wood, making it the tallest building in Yangzhou City.

Standing on the third floor of the Jade House, you can see Yangzhou City in the distance.

Cheng Mo looked from Dongcheng to Xicheng and said, "I don't know who lives in this row of mansions in Dongcheng?" ”

Zhou Zheng said calmly: "Most of them are businessmen. ”

The best areas were occupied by salt merchants, or bought at a low price, or asked some scoundrels to make trouble every day, making people unable to live in peace, so they had to buy cheaply and move out of here.

Cheng Mo's gaze stopped at Xicheng, where most of the houses were houses, one after another, and Zhou Jin should live there.

Zhou Zheng saw that Cheng Mo no longer spoke, and his heart was uneasy, he thought that he was the uncrowned king of Yangzhou, but in front of Cheng Mo, the real king, he often felt uneasy. is in a high position, in the end, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

Cheng Mo looked at it for a long time and said, "Lord Zhou, let's go?" ”

Zhou Zheng was thinking about the gap between himself and Cheng Mo, and when he heard this, he was a little dazed and said, "Where to go?" ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to play with the king? Let's go. ”

"Yes, yes, the lower official should die, the lower official was angry last night, ruined the reputation of the lower official, and couldn't sleep all night, so he was in a trance, and asked the prince to blame."

Cheng Mo walked out and said, "Oh? Don't be angry. ”

"That evil slave, Xia Guan wanted to kill him, but he had an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child in his family, and Xia Guan couldn't bear it, so he had to beat him with thirty sticks, and he broke his tendons and fractures. He will definitely not dare in the future, and he will definitely be good at disciplining the house slaves in the future, and please don't blame the prince. ”

He interceded for the wicked slave. Cheng Mo smiled angrily and said, "This king is just passing by here and playing for a few days at will, how can he be angry with a minion?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The lower official is stupid and can't speak, don't take it to heart. Zhou Zheng hurriedly said.

Zhou Zhengxing is a way to inspect and promote, first observe, and then recommend, and recommend to the capital by the local level, Huo Guang personally met him, talked to him, and saw that he was indeed talented and learned, so he was entrusted with important tasks. Emperor Wu set up thirteen counties, Yangzhou is one of the counties, the state of herding food is 2,000 stones, second only to Jiuqing, such an important position, is not just a stupid person can be competent?

Cheng Mo said: "Lord Zhou, where are we going to play today?" ”

didn't answer his humble words, Zhou Zheng felt uneasy in his heart, and said: "There are still a few scenic spots in Yangzhou, and the first place to go is Xizi Lake." ”

"West Lake?" Cheng Mo was surprised, could it be that the West Lake existed in this era?

"Some people call it that, the prince really knows the scenery of Yangzhou." So, are you really here to play?

On the other side, Ah Fei took two companions to the courtyard where Zhou Jin lived again and asked his neighbors where he went.

The man on the opposite side of the small courtyard was surnamed Chen, ranked twelfth in the clan, known as Chen Twelve, looked at Ah Fei and the three of them vigilantly, and said, "Who are you?" Why inquire about the history of Zhou Yu? ”

In the courtyard, the mother-in-law was very nervous, rushed out and pulled him up and left, but before Ah Fei could react, the courtyard door slammed shut.

Ah Fei patted the door for a long time, but Chen Twelve's mother-in-law resolutely refused to let her husband open the door. Ah Fei wanted to ask others, but when the neighbors saw that they had a foreign accent, they all looked at them vigilantly, and none of them dared to tell the truth.

On the shore of West Lake, Cheng Mo stood in the dirt by the lake, looking at this famous scenic spot in front of him, which was very different from modern times, and felt a sense of time confusion. At this time, there were no Suti and Bai Di in the West Lake, and the area was much smaller than that of modern times, and a few willow trees swayed in the wind by the lake.

A boat stopped at the lake, and Zhou Zheng respectfully invited Cheng Mo to get on board.

The boat was very spacious, and a young woman in the boat, Wan Wan Tingting, who I saw pity, saluted Cheng Mo and said, "Lord Wang." ”

On the low table in the boat, a few dishes had already been prepared, a pot of wine, the young woman raised chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, sent them to Cheng Mo's lips, and said coquettishly: "This is a unique product of Yangzhou, and the prince will reward it." ”

This woman's eyebrows are picturesque, her voice is like a yellow bird, and when she is close, the fragrance is fragrant.

Zhou Zheng laughed beside him: "This is Xiaguan's concubine, named Lu'er." Lu'er has heard the name of the prince for a long time, and has looked up to the prince for a long time, and it is really Lu'er's blessing to be able to serve the prince today. ”

A concubine is an object that can be bought and sold, or given away. Zhou Zheng is going to give Lu'er to Cheng Mo.

This Lu'er is the Shen family. Last night, Zhou Zheng wanted to use a beauty trick, but in the middle of the night, where could he find a stunning beauty for a while? After returning home, he went to Shen's room as usual, and after some lingering, he told Shen that he wanted to send her to serve Cheng Mo.

The king of Bei'an is a young man, and he is also a prince, and he is also known as the most beautiful man in the capital, and he is the dream lover of many women. When Shen heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed. Zhou Zheng took the opportunity to ask Shen to speak well for him in front of Cheng Mo, and Shen hurriedly promised that if he had to recommend himself to the king of Bei'an, he would definitely match him up and let the king of Bei'an become his backup.

Early in the morning, Zhou Zheng went to the Jade House to pick up Cheng Mo, and Shen dressed up carefully, got in the car to the shore of West Lake, and got on the boat that had been prepared a long time ago.

As soon as she saw Cheng Mo, she secretly promised that such a talented man had fallen into her hands, how could she miss it? must let him take himself to the capital, and from then on climb the branches and become a noblewoman.

Shen used his usual means of flattering Zhou Zheng, revealing his most beautiful face, and handed the dish to Cheng Mo's lips.
