Chapter 108: Acquaintances
Empress Dowager Zhang rarely felt that the eldest son's words made some sense, the youngest son walked from Huzhou to the capital for forty days, and he must have been extremely struggling, but he didn't see his younger son for several years, but he only wanted to talk to him more.
"Let Hou Wei stay in Cining Palace, if you have something, you can go and be busy." Empress Dowager Zhang directly ordered Zhu Hou to expel guests.
"The Queen Mother." Zhu Houwei got up and said: "The vassal king has his own residence in Beijing, how can he stay in the harem overnight, if this is spread out, it will inevitably be impeached by the official, if the queen mother has something to say to Houwei, the coming day will be long, and the son will come into the palace from time to time to chat with the queen mother."
Empress Dowager Zhang thought about it and seemed to feel that there was some truth, so she had to say helplessly: "It's okay, you and Zhao'er go back to rest, and enter the palace tomorrow, the queen mother will let your uncle bring Shaohua tomorrow, your cousins have not seen each other for many years, and it is just time to reminisce about old friendship."
Zhu Houwei's scalp was numb, but he didn't dare to refute, let him marry Zhang Shaohua as a concubine, that was a thousand and ten thousand unwilling, but now is obviously not the time to object, otherwise it will ruin the good mood of the mother and son who have not seen each other for many years.
As for what to do in the future, unless he can find a reasonable reason for refusing to marry Zhang Shaohua, he can only accept his fate, otherwise a big hat of disobedience and unfilial piety will inevitably be buckled on his head.
Leaving Cining Palace, Zhu Houzhao had no intention of staying in the Forbidden City for half a moment, as if this Wei Wei Imperial City was his nightmare place.
Luan drove all the way straight to Xiyuan, and the destination was naturally the place where Zhu Hou was treated now, and the leopard house that left a great reputation in history.
Today's leopard room is the real heart of the Ming Empire, and in later generations, the leopard room is no longer called the leopard room, but has a more prominent name.
……
Zhu Houwei in the leopard room has long been like thunder, this place where Zhu Houzhao completely wears the hat of a faint monarch, Zhu Houwei is actually more curious about such a place.
I am curious about how many beasts Zhu Houzhao has raised in the leopard room, and I am also curious about how many stunning beauties have been raised here, so that Zhu Houzhao's reputation for lewdness has been carried for hundreds of years.
Zhu Houwei had been living in the palace before leaving the capital and going to Huzhou to take up the domain, so there was no palace in the capital, but King Yong, who was criticized by the courtiers for liking strange tricks and tricks, still purchased a compound in the capital in order to study his tricks and tricks.
This compound covers an area of more than 20 acres, and in addition to the residence and the side courtyard, there are small workshops, but when Zhu Houwei left Beijing and took all the craftsmen, these workshops were naturally abandoned.
Zhu Houwei knew that he would return to the capital sooner or later, so after he left, he still left the steward eunuch in this house, and the steward eunuch was named Ren Yang, formerly known as Zeng Yang, and worshiped Ren Xing as his father-in-law, so he changed his surname to Ren.
Although Ren Yang is young, he is experienced and alert, Ren Xing recommended Ren Yang to stay, and Zhu Houwei naturally would not have any objections.
In fact, Ren Yang was not dissatisfied because he was abandoned in the capital, and he also kept this house in good order, which looked quite like a landscape garden in the south of the Yangtze River.
The three hundred soldiers who escorted Zhu Houwei back to Beijing this time, as well as Wu Qiulu and others who accompanied him all lived in this compound, and the deputy thousand households led by him were Feng Biao, the leader who pretended to be Jinyi guards in the capital and robbed Yutangchun.
At this time, Feng Biao walked on the royal street of the capital with two people in civilian clothes, and sighed at the prosperity of the capital while watching.
Zhu Houwei instructed that the time to stay in the capital will not be short, and the guards can travel on their own, there is no need to be trapped in the compound, as long as they do not disturb the people and do not act as traitors, otherwise they will not complain about others even if they are on the verge of military law.
This is Zhu Houwei's care and sympathy for his subordinates, but he forgot one thing, that is, Feng Biao has 'acquaintances' in the capital.
This acquaintance is the bustard's mother of the Suhuai Art Museum in Hulu Lane, Beijing.
Hulu Lane is a first-class place in Beijing, where there are many art museums, which shows how fierce the competition is, but although the Suhuai Art Museum is not a top art museum, the business has always been good, this is because the Suhuai Art Museum has always had a popular girl town.
But the biggest drawback of a popular girl is that she eats youth rice, which is generally sixteen to twenty-two years old, and after this age she is basically out of fashion.
Once the number of people who are out of demand will become fewer, they will naturally give way to newcomers, so at this stage, the popular girl will also desperately save money, and then redeem herself, the value of the cash cow will plummet, and the art hall will generally not be forced to stay, and of course she will not let go if she can make a sum of money in the end.
Of course, more of these girls will be ransomed by the rich gentry and become concubines, and the luckier ones can meet a scholar, this scholar can also be named on the gold list, and finally have a good conscience to achieve a good relationship, of course, this possibility is so small that it is almost negligible, of course, this is talking about the main room, and there are not a few people who were rescued from the fire by the scholar and became concubines.
The most important thing in the art hall is the girl, but there are very few people who can afford to live on the table in the town, such a woman is the soul of an art museum, if there is no body, the art hall will not enter the stream, and the business will be naturally light, and in the end it can only be supported and barely maintained.
Before Yutang Chun, the town of Suhuai Art Museum was a pair of twin sisters, two daughters with beautiful faces, good at singing and dancing, just like two glittering cash cows, attracting many high rollers in a few years, bringing a lot of money to Suhuai Art Museum.
However, the two sisters are getting older, and there are fewer and fewer people who are following, but Yiliang Jin is not worried, because she has Yutangchun.
Yutangchun was born in an official eunuch, and has been cultivated since he was a child.
For a scale of gold, Yutang Spring is a treasure and a pearl, a delicate flower that she has carefully cultivated with countless efforts, but just when this delicate flower was about to bloom with brilliance that no man could refuse, it was directly taken away by a group of thieves who pretended to be Jinyiwei.
That kind of heart-rending pain can never be understood by people who have not experienced it personally, the loss of Yutang Chun, the Suhuai Art Museum has no successor, and after the two sisters redeemed themselves one after another, the business suddenly plummeted.
However, a weighing of gold and even her husband Su Huai, who had a lot to do with officialdom, couldn't provoke Jinyiwei, so he could only knock out his front teeth and swallow blood, while searching around for good-looking girls to cultivate from scratch, while carefully probing Yutangchun's whereabouts.
If you don't inquire, you almost fainted......
