Chapter 194: Third Prince Zhu
Zhao Yushan stepped forward and said loudly: "Then what do I say about the gate of the Jade Phoenix Terrace?"
Zhu Sanye twisted his beard and laughed. Turned his head to look at Cheng Qiran: "Brother Qiran!"
Cheng Qiran understood, stepped forward slowly, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Zhao Yushan with both hands: "Zhao is in charge, here is a thousand taels of silver, I don't know if it is enough to repair this gate." If it's not enough, just open your mouth, the third master of my family is a person who makes friends, and it doesn't hurt to change the door of your Jade Phoenix Terrace. ”
Zhao Yushan took the silver ticket and took a closer look, it was indeed the silver ticket of Derun Qianzhuang in Jiangning Mansion, so he put it in his arms and paid Wanfu: "Then thank you to the third master." ”
Zhu Sanye smiled slightly: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, can you take me into your Jade Phoenix Platform to sit and do your best as a landlord?"
Chu Jinglian's cold face had already floated a trace of warmth, he lifted the placket of his robe with his right hand, and led the direction of the Jade Phoenix Platform with his left hand: "Please!"
Zhu Sanye nodded slightly and arched his hand: "Then I'll bother you later." With that, he led everyone slowly into the gate of the Jade Phoenix Terrace.
Zhao Yushan led the way in front of the head, and let Zhu Sanye and the people behind him go to the third floor. Chu Jinglian followed, and the people he brought were all waiting on the first floor, only Lin Daohong followed up to the third floor.
Zhu Sanye walked and looked at the Jade Phoenix Terrace. This jade phoenix platform flying eaves painting corners, green tiles and Zhu Yong, Cui Xuan windows, brocade curtains hanging. Flowers bloom around the Jade Phoenix Terrace, and the jade curtain is beautiful. After a dozen steps, you can see agarwood curling and purple furnace smoke. When people smell it, they are immediately refreshed.
Zhu Sanye nodded frequently and exclaimed: "Everyone says that the sky is good, but it is not as good as the jade phoenix in the world." This is indeed a paradise on earth, and I am afraid that the Heart Nourishing Hall in the Forbidden City cannot be compared. ”
Zhao Yushan smiled slightly: "The third master praised it falsely. How can it be compared to Kangxi's Forbidden City here?"
The red-haired Daoist behind Zhu Sanye and the others also widened their eyes and couldn't stop admiring. They had seen many famous green houses, but they had never seen such luxury. This is also during the day, if you come to this Jade Phoenix Platform at night, you are afraid that the man who is beaten by iron will also have soft bones.
The group came to the largest hall on the third floor, and Zhao Yushan beckoned his subordinates to offer tea. Chu Jinglian was not polite and sat in the center. The red-haired Taoist raised his eyebrows, but he didn't have a seizure. Zhu Sanye and his others sat down on the left hand one after another, while Zhao Yushan and Lin Daohong accompanied each other on the right hand. The guest and the host sit down, and the tea is put aside.
Chu Jinglian said lightly: "I don't know if Third Master Zhu has a high name, why did you come to my small Jade Phoenix Terrace?"
Zhu Sanye looked at the attendants around him. Chu Jinglian understood, beckoned, and retreated.
Seeing that in addition to his own people in the hall, there were only Chu Jinglian, Zhao Yushan, Lin Daohong and other three people left, twisting his beard and saying with a smile: "Since Chu Yuan is outside to ask, Zhu will not tell lies in front of real people, I am Zhu Cihuan." ”
As soon as these words came out, Rao is Chu Jinglian has always been unsurprised by changes, and his joy and anger are invisible, and he is also taken aback.
Chu Jinglian looked the white-haired old man in front of him up and down, and said in a deep voice, "Is it Zhu Cihuan?"
The white-haired old man nodded.
Chu Jinglian shook his head slightly and said, "Why do you want to talk about bullying people. That Zhu Cihuan is the fifth son of Emperor Chongzhen of the previous dynasty, and he heard that he has already passed away. Why is it that after several decades, another royal family relative has appeared? Isn't it to deceive Chu?"
The white-haired old man took out a scroll from his arms and gently placed it in front of him: "If Chu Yuanwai doesn't believe it, you can open it and take a look." Let's see if Zhu is talking big and deceiving people?"
Chu Jinglian gave Zhao Yushan a look. Zhao Yushan understood, slowly got up, and respectfully presented the scroll to Chu Jinglian. Chu Jinglian opened the scroll and found that it was written the birth date of Zhu Cihuan, the fifth son of Zhu, and stamped with the big seal of the Ming Dynasty's Zongren Mansion. Due to the age, the handwriting on it and the seal of the large seal are somewhat faded, but they are still clearly recognizable. Chu Jinglian was noncommittal, and motioned for Lin Daohong to take a look.
Lin Daohong took the scroll, nodded after reading it, arched his hand at Chu Jinglian, and said: "Outside Chu Yuan, according to my humble opinion, the book of this birth should be true. However, if you want to confirm it, you need to check it yourself by Mr. Mei Yunshengmei. ”
Chu Jinglian shook his head slightly: "Forget it." Mr. Mei is still recuperating from his injuries, so he will not be alarmed. After that, he gave Zhao Yushan another look.
Zhao Yushan gently placed the scroll in front of the white-haired old man, then squatted slightly, performed a thousand blessings, and then returned to his seat. The white-haired old man carefully put the scroll back into his arms.
Chu Jinglian smiled faintly: "Third Master Zhu, you are so outspoken, aren't you afraid that Chu will report to the official mansion and arrest you?"
Zhu Cihuan laughed when he heard this: "Qingtian Pavilion has always made friends with heroes in the world and conspired against the great cause of the Qing Dynasty. Why did the pavilion master bother to act and intimidate Zhu. ”
Chu Jinglian nodded: "Then why did Third Master Zhu come here in Yangzhou?"
Zhu Cihuan twisted his silver hair in his hands, and there was no smile on his face: "Zhu came here to discuss the big plan with the Lord of Chu Pavilion and plan a great cause." ”
Chu Jinglian's eyes were cold, and he looked at Zhu Cihuan: "It has been nearly 70 years since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, how can you plan for the great cause together?"
Cheng Qiran, who was on the side, waved his goose feather fan and interjected: "The pavilion master's words are fallacious! Compared with the Qingtian Pavilion, the power of the third master of my family may be weaker, but the name of the third prince of Zhu is still more appealing than the Qingtian Pavilion in the country. Besides, the third master of my family is not empty-handed, whether it is the north of Liaodong, Fujian, or Guangzhou, there are three masters' rudders. As long as the third master of my family raises his arms and shouts, he will definitely respond in all directions. I believe that if you join forces with Qingtian Pavilion, you will definitely win. ”
The corners of Chu Jinglian's mouth hooked slightly, and a sneer flashed: "Seeing that the third master is now close to old age, when do you plan to do something?"
Cheng Qiran smiled slightly: "Lord Chu Pavilion's words are even more ridiculous, although the third master of my family is close to ancient times, the children of the third master are all there, and the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty is still there." As for the move, we need an opportunity. Now the power of the Third Master and the Qingtian Pavilion is still too weak compared to the imperial court, and he is afraid that it will backfire if he rashly acts. ”
Chu Jinglian said lightly: "Then according to Mr. Yi's wishes, what should I do?"
Cheng Qiran shook the feather fan lightly and said slowly: "If there is peace for a long time today, the people are tired of war. Although the anti-Qing righteous people have followed one after another, there are few people who respond. Therefore, relying on us to fight head-on is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ”
Chu Jinglian frowned slightly: "As Mr. said, what else are you talking about against the Qing Dynasty?"
Cheng Qiran shook his head: "Pavilion master, don't be anxious, and listen to the next word." The Qing court was not monolithic and invulnerable. ”
