Chapter 287: All the consumption tonight will be paid by Murong Gongzi!
The next morning, the sky was faintly bright.
Chen Chao opened his eyes, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to give instructions to Murong Chong again.
Combined with the advice given by Yue'e last night, let Murong Chong not deliberately befriend the prince and ministers, and let it be.
Sometimes pushing too hard can be counterproductive.
When she said these words, Yue'e was standing behind Chen Chao.
The little maid was a little uncomfortable by Chen Chao last night, and she would always consciously or unconsciously reach out and rub her chest, pursed her cherry pink lips slightly, and watched Chen Chao's every move.
In this regard, Chen Chao can only say sorry.
When I first came to Jinling, I was not accustomed to the water and soil.
He usually sleeps without elbowing people....
Take only ......
Ahem......
Straight to the point!
After a simple breakfast in the side hall, Wei Chuan, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, who I had seen yesterday, was brought to Chen Chao by Hou Ji after passing it on.
Wei Chuan walked into the room quickly, saluted Chen Chaozuo, bent down and said respectfully:
"I've seen the prime minister!"
"As I said, Lord Wei doesn't need to be polite, you are the master, and we are the guests." Chen Chao smiled and held up Wei Chuan's arm. This is in the Southern Chu Jinling. Not in the capital of Daji, Chen Chao felt that Wei Chuan was too polite.
But Wei Chuan didn't think so in his heart, the identity of the Chen Dynasty was here, although he was the prime minister of Daji and not the state of Chu, but he might not be the prime minister of the state of Chu in the future.
It has long been rumored in the officialdom that the Chu Emperor wants to recruit the Chen Dynasty into Chu as the prime minister.
What's more, he also has to thank Chen Chao for his kindness.
If it weren't for the Chen Dynasty operating from it, Chu Yan would not have come back alive, and the Chen Dynasty could be regarded as saving his Wei Chuan's life and future in disguise.
Helping Wei Chuan up, the two chatted politely, and Wei Chuan began to get down to business.
Wei preached that the day when the delegation entered the palace to meet the Chu Emperor was temporarily set on the first day of the lunar month seven days later, and there was nothing else important.
After a few more small talks, Wei Chuan got up and was about to leave.
To say that after the Daji delegation came to Jinling, looking at the entire officialdom of Chu State, there was no one busier than him Wei Chuan.
Seeing that Wei Chuan was leaving, Chen Chao stopped him in time.
Since you want to feel the local customs, you have to ask a local first, don't be deceived.
Chen Chao asked, "Lord Wei, do you have any fun in Jinling?" Recommend it to those of us who are new to the treasure land. ”
Wei Chuan replied casually: "Confucius Temple." It's pretty good there, you can go to visit at night, the temple market of Confucius Temple and the combination of night view, is the most prosperous place in Jinling. ”
"Confucius Temple?" Chen Chao thought for a while, frowned and said, "It's not a good place for a group of big men to visit the temple fair, is there any other place?" For example, the kind of body and soul that is sublimated in ......"
Before Chen Chao finished speaking, the middle-aged official, who usually looked serious, immediately showed a meaningful smile on his face:
"Oh-"
"Xia Guan understands what the prime minister said is going."
Speaking of which, he was in no hurry to leave.
Wei Chuan sat down again, thought about it, looked at everyone, and talked eloquently:
"When you come to our Jinling, how can you not go to Qinhuai for a walk, where there are not only cruise ships but also ......"
"Ahem.... The slave and maid retreated first. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yue'e coughed lightly and rushed out of the house like a gust of wind.
Several men glanced at each other, and then quickly turned their eyes to Wei Chuan, listening to Wei Chuan's story about the Qinhuai River.
I didn't see it, Wei Chuan usually looked quite honest and upright, but he didn't expect that he was also a frequent visitor to Qin Huai's painting boat, which was an hour.
said that the mouth was dry, and some people poured tea to moisten their throats.
Wei Legend's energy, everyone in the room listened to it more energetically, as soon as it came to women, which one was more energetic than the other, they couldn't wait to see it immediately.
This scene fell in Chen Chao's eyes, Chen Chao shook his head, and secretly said in his heart:
Oh, the bad roots of men......
The Chen dynasty despised Hou Ji and Murong Chong.
Not like him.....
"That Lord Wei, let's talk about the point, which boats are those girls on?" Chen Chao urged.
Hou Ji and Murong Chong glanced at each other, and their mouths "cut".
When Chen Chao spoke, Wei Chuan didn't tell his glorious history of prostitution, it was easy to attract jealousy, and he was thrown from behind when he walked at night.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Chuan crossed his fingers, counted them one by one, and quickly said the names of a few Qinhuai girls, they are famous prostitutes in Jinling, each with its own characteristics, all of which are valuable experiences that Wei Chuan has summed up over the years, and ordinary people Wei Chuan does not tell them.
"That's probably it, I don't know much about the rest."
"Understood, enough."
But in the end, Wei Chuan temporarily added one before leaving: "Oh yes, there is a new one recently, you can take the time to take a look, her one-handed commentary "Slow Voice" is popular on the banks of the Qinhuai River......"
……
……
Leaning out of the carriage, Chen Chao put his hands in his sleeves and looked up at the lively Qinhuai River not far away, his mood was slightly heavy.
By now, the night is getting dark.
But the nightlife in this area has only just begun, and it has not yet fully reached its peak.
Many exquisite palace-like painting boats floated on the river, with colorful lights on them, and graceful girls walked around on them at will, smiling and smiling, all of which attracted bursts of applause from young men and rich young masters on the shore and bridge.
This is the famous ten-mile Qinhuai in Jinling, and the songs are non-stop every night, and the wonderful stories that have happened in it are also worth composing into a good song.
In the carriage, Chen Chao leaned in the carriage, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
I was thinking about it...... Could it be her? Xu Hongdou? Why did she come to Chu State?
After waiting in the carriage for a while, Hou Ji, who had gone to step on the spot earlier, hurried from a distance.
Chen Chao's face was solemn, and he asked, "How is the inquiry?" ”
Hou Ji said: "It's indeed the traitorous ......"
Before he finished speaking, seeing that Chen Chao's face was displeased, Hou Ji reluctantly changed his words: "It's her, Xu Hongdou!" ”
Chen Chao asked again: "On which ship?" ”
Hou Ji tilted his head and pointed to a two-story painting boat on the river in the distance.
Chen Chao followed Hou Ji's point, raised his head and squinted, and touched Murong Chong beside him with his elbow, "Let's go, Murong Gongzi, you promised me, please come back." ”
Murong Chong was holding the money bag a little painfully, this place didn't look cheap, it was loose for a thousand eight hundred taels a night.
But when I thought about it, I promised it, but it was not good not to invite it, so I nodded stubbornly.
Chen Chao jumped out of the carriage, loosened his muscles, looked at the lively place in front of him, and said with a smile: "Everyone, walk, all the consumption tonight will be paid for by Murong Gongzi....."
