Chapter 105: Rainy Night
Seeing the sunset, Zhu Di's voice was a little hoarse and he didn't stop crying, King An's face was wrinkled, and he looked back at the royal relatives who were a little helpless and crazy.
I have heard that the four emperor brothers are good at fighting... didn't expect the words to be so good, and scolded for an afternoon.
If Zhu Ying was still a little panicked when he heard Zhu Di's words at the beginning, and he was still a little frightened when he heard Zhu Di's words full of dissatisfaction with His Majesty, and scolded the ministers who are now in power, then he is completely numb now, if it weren't for Zhu Di's cold eyes, he would really go up and scold him twice and take himself out of this fateful matter.
But it's not a good idea to keep doing this and waiting... Zhu Di finished crying his father and crying his mother, and after crying his mother crying his eldest brother, the group of royal relatives and relatives who were originally just picking up the emperor were numb and didn't see him regain his strength, do you really want to wait like this forever?
In the end, the elder Zongren Mansion Dazong couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of Anwang Zhu Ying, turned around and said hello, and led a group of royal relatives to come forward to support Zhu Di, and persuaded each other with good words, the scene was a mess.
In fact, when I got here, I almost cried, and then going down was nothing more than repeating, Zhu Di also half-pushed and half-let them help him down the mountain road, and looked back at the mausoleum step by step and wept, if there are people here, I am afraid that I will have to praise the great filial son.
Just like this, he got off Zhongshan and re-started the honor guard and entered the city, sent Zhu Di into the palace gate, and the eunuchs in the palace took over, and Zhu Ying, the king of An, breathed a sigh of relief, and dispersed in a tacit agreement with the royal relatives behind him, and Zhu Di was sent into the wing room of Dongzhimen by the eunuchs, and waited for a night here to wait for tomorrow.
It's just that King Yan can enter the palace, but the guards around him can't follow along, Ma Sanbao took dozens of guards to patrol in front of the palace gate for a while, then turned his head and went to King Yan's mansion in Jinling, and before leaving, he looked at Gu Huai, Gu Huai knew that the matter of King Yan crying filial piety today would probably spread all over Jinling early tomorrow morning.
The things that should be discussed have been discussed, and everything that can be done at the moment has been done, Zhu Di still has to see him play freely, and Ma Sanbao can't interfere in the affairs of Ma Sanbao, after all, if he takes over the secret spy department, the more secretive the better, and it is best not to let the people in Jinling City know about the name of this royal guest on his body... So Gu Huai did not follow him to King Yan's mansion, but wandered along the streets of Jinling alone.
He has also longed for the city for a long time.
Whether a dynasty is prosperous or not can be easily seen from the capital, and the spirit of a dynasty is also reflected in the people of the capital.
It's not yet night, and naturally it's not the most prosperous time, the street vendors are still shouting hard, there are not many tourists, occasionally you can see talented and beautiful people walking together, and the clothes on their bodies are blown by the wind and flutter like fairies... Jinling is really good, beautiful women are all over the street, occasionally you can see the charm of the chef and the wine lady, and there are charming women shaking handkerchiefs in the windows of the green buildings on the side of the street.
Chengping from all over the world, but I can't see the bold and neat atmosphere of preparation when the country was first founded, the fat powder in the city is full of the taste of Jiangnan, and the small wine stalls that can be seen everywhere on the roadside are full of men who point to the country, and the elderly people take a sip of wine and say back then, their eyes are full of feelings.
Jinling is much bigger than Beiping, the reins of the horse have not finished the bluestone road of the main street for a long time, the sky is floating rain, it is the Qingming season, this rain is full of Xiao Suo smell, slightly diluted some fat powder, Gu Huai, who did not bring an umbrella, hesitated, simply turned over and dismounted and led the reins to an ordinary tavern.
"Shopkeeper, two dishes and a jar of bamboo leaves."
After tying up the horse and sitting down at the table, the rain gradually became heavier, and the pedestrians on the street were a little embarrassed, and the rain fell down the eaves, making people sleepy bit by bit.
There are not many people in the tavern, the small stove of warm wine adds some warmth on a rainy night, the shopkeeper's hands and feet are neat, and it doesn't take long for the wine and food to be served, Gu Huai picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, it is a typical Jiangnan flavor, but the wine is a little spicy, and it is difficult to get down the throat.
After two glasses of wine, the fatigue of the day's travel was washed away, Gu Huai looked at the rain outside the shop and thought about some miscellaneous things, but soon his eyes were attracted by a guest who walked into the shop in the rain.
Looking like a reader... It's just that his face is not young, and his hair is tied casually, he patted the rain on his body, took out a few big coins from his sleeve and threw them on the table, chatted with the shopkeeper familiarly, and then sat down at Gu Huai's next table with a plate of peanuts and a small jar of wine.
Peanuts and rice with wine... Although it is simple, it still has a taste, but the reader looks a little dissatisfied, and he whispers in his mouth while drinking, he can't hear it clearly but seems to be scolding, Gu Huai retracted his gaze, just filled a glass of wine, and a few men followed into the wine shop.
"You kid... When will the gambling debts be paid? ”
"Can you guys give me some time..."
"Holy shit, it's been half a year! If you don't pay today, Lao Tzu will cut off one of your hands! ”
"Don't, don't! Guys, I'm going back to raise money! Tomorrow, tomorrow will be served! ”
"Then I'll give you another day... If you don't see the money tomorrow, you won't want to press the dice cup with any hand! ”
"Yes, yes..."
The vicious debt collector said hello, turned around and went out with his brothers, and the scholar, who had been pressed to the ground and beaten for a while, got up, patted the dust on his body, carefully picked up the half-spilled wine bowl, and slowly brought it to his mouth to taste it.
I have to say that the psychological tolerance of readers is quite strong... If it were someone else who was accustomed to reading etiquette, righteousness and shame, and encountered this kind of situation of being chased and beaten for gambling debts in public, he would have hidden his face and left, but the reader could still sit down and drink slowly, and turn a blind eye to the eyes of other guests, which is really admirable.
It just looks too down.
I couldn't help but drink the loose wine I bought for a few pennies, not to mention spilling half a bowl, and the reader smashed it, poured peanuts into the palm of his hand, and threw it into his mouth.
The rain outside was gradually getting lighter, and it was almost time to close the city gate, seeing that the rain could not stop, Gu Huai put down his chopsticks and prepared to get up and leave.
"Your Excellency's wine is a waste, why don't you finish it and leave?"
Gu Huai glanced at the reader sitting beside him, and couldn't help but sigh a little at his eyesight and cheek.
"You can drink."
The scholar was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly poured himself a glass, raised his head and drank it all, and squinted his eyes with enjoyment: "It's better than loose wine..."
It doesn't seem to be worried about whether he will be able to pay off his gambling debts tomorrow, and he doesn't look like a scholar at all... Gu Huai smiled, didn't delay any longer, and raised his steps.
"Your Excellency walks slowly, in Xia Jigang, thank you for your wine today," the scholar poured himself another glass, "This Jinling... I can't stay any longer, next time Your Excellency arrives in Linyi, I will invite Your Excellency to drink! ”
The rain curtain was close in front of him, but Gu Huai's footsteps paused, and he slowly turned around: "What's your name?" ”
He looked at the somewhat ruffian scholar with a gleam in his eyes.
Ji Gang?!
