The next day, when Ma Cheng rubbed his sore waist and eyes, he got up. Seeing Gu Xiying and Ma Cheng's refreshing heart, he thought: "Should you control yourself? You are just eighteen years old this year and have a large piece of flowers waiting for you to pick. If you are tired, how can you be worthy of the people of the whole country?"

But when he saw Gu Xiying’s two long-legged horses hesitated again, he was so romantic even if he was a ghost under the peony flowers!

Gu Xiying was very happy all night by Ma Cheng, and got up and washed Ma Cheng. After the two of them finished their meal, Gu Xiying asked, "Master, where are you going today?"

The craftsmen were arranged yesterday, and the steel furnace was not built in one day or two. The military camp has also formed a standard, and I don’t watch it every day. Ma Cheng has been traveling through this month and has been running around every day, but suddenly he is still a little uncomfortable when he is free.

Ma Cheng thought about it and thought that it had been almost half a month since he had not visited Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, it was okay today, so why not go out for a walk.

"It's nothing today. Master, I'll take you out for a walk. Let's go and see the Confucius Temple, Qinhuai River, and Xuanwu Lake!"

Gu Xiying was very happy to hear Ma Cheng say this, so she quickly got up and prepared her clothes. Yesterday, Ma Cheng had promised to go out and take Gu Xiying with him again, so Gu Xiying had already prepared her clothes and was waiting for Ma Cheng's words.

Ma Cheng saw Gu Xiying changing into a wealthy family, wearing a blue hat, a blue short shirt, a pair of cloth shoes, and Gu Xi's handsome appearance, he was such a handsome servant.

Ma Cheng was very curious when he saw Gu Xiying wearing men's clothes. Gu Xiying was tall and suitable for men's clothes, but why did this plump breasts disappear?

"Little sister, why are your two gone?" Ma Cheng made a gesture after saying that.

Gu Xiying's face turned red when she saw it, and spat: "The master is so naughty, he knows to stare at someone else's place! I've tied it up with cloth strips for convenience!"

So that's the case, Ma Cheng smiled lewdly and said, "Wouldn't that be so uncomfortable? I'll give you a massage?"

When Gu Xiying heard Ma Cheng teasing him, she stomped her feet in anger and turned around and went out.

Ma Cheng didn't really want to be a hooligan, he was just talking nonsense. After saying that, Ma Cheng got up and changed into clothes and prepared to go out.

Ma Cheng and Gu Xiying, who was disguised as a disguise, went out and were preparing to start a one-day trip to Nanjing. Then they knew that they saw Ma Cheng's eldest brother Ma Luan standing at the door as soon as they left.

Ma Luan was stunned when she saw Ma Cheng, and then she frowned when she saw Gu Xiying beside Ma Cheng and asked, "Second brother, what are you doing?"

Seeing his elder brother Ma Cheng, he quickly bowed and said, "Brother, Xiying is bored at home. It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, so take him out for a walk!"

Ma Luan was deeply educated by Confucianism and believed that women should not go out of the door. Although Gu Xiying was the concubine of the second son Ma Cheng, Ma Luan, as the eldest son, still had to take charge.

"Hmph, second brother, how can you let the woman in the family show up in public? If outsiders see me, I don't say that there is no tutor in the Ma family?"

Ma Cheng laughed: "Haha, nothing is wrong. Don Xiying has changed into men's clothing, which outsiders can't see through!" After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he was about to lead Gu Xiying out. Ma Luan really had no choice but to shake his head and sigh.

Ma Cheng had already left the gate, and suddenly thought of something, so he came back and asked Ma Luan: "Brother, you are familiar with people in this city. Do you recognize Chen Zilong? Live there?"

In addition to taking his concubine to see the scenery of Qinhuai when Ma Cheng went out today, another important thing was to find Chen Zilong, the only sober person in the chaos in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Chen Zilong is from Huating, Songjiang, Nanzhili, and has a Shanghai household registration. At the same time, Chen Zilong is also a core member of the Donglin Party Youth Organization Restoration. Although Chen Zilong was from the Donglin Party, he had no problems with the Donglin Party's boastful talk at all. Chen Zilong was probably the only person who had a clear understanding of the political situation in the late Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Chen Zilong was still a firm anti-Qing faction. Even if he was later defeated and captured, he would jump into the water to sacrifice his fortune. He was much more backbone than his friends.

Although Ma Cheng didn't know much about the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was deeply impressed by Chen Zilong, so after Ma Cheng decided to win over the first intellectual to win over after traveling through time, this was Chen Zilong.

When Ma Luan heard Ma Cheng talk about Chen Zilong, he smiled strangely and asked, "Second brother, how do you know Chen Zilong's name?"

Of course, Ma Cheng couldn't say what he saw on Baidu in later generations, so he had to say insincerely: "I heard that Chen Zilong is one of Yunjian's three sons, and is still the most sensible person today. He is more powerful than those of Donglin's stinky old ninth century, so my brother wants to make friends!"

Ma Luan and the Donglin Party and those in Fushe all had a good relationship. When Ma Cheng called them, the stinky old man was very uncomfortable and cursed: "Second brother, there are also capable people in the Donglin, such as Hou Chaozong, Fang Yizhi, Mao Pijiang and others, they were all very lit up!"

Ma Cheng never looked down upon the four young masters in Jiangnan. Hou Chaozong was Hou Fangyu. After the demise of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he participated in the imperial examination held by the Qing Dynasty and became a juren in Henan. The other three were better. Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui, and Mao Pijiang were all used as turtles after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, hiding in the deep mountains and forests without coming out.

Ma Cheng has always been disgusted with these four people. After hearing Ma Luan say this, he cursed: "The four young men in Jiangnan are all famous people. It seems that they are all shrunk turtles! They are not worthy of carrying shoes for Chen Zilong!"

Ma Luan heard Ma Cheng say this and said, "What nonsense? These four people dare not call the fourth son of Jiangnan. That's all rumors. Don't spread them everywhere! But you say that the four of them are not worthy of carrying shoes for Chen Wozi. Brother Wozi will definitely become confidants with you when he hears!"

The most troublesome thing about Ma Cheng traveling to this era is the name problem. If you don’t mention a good name, you have to say something. The most annoying thing is that the more you look more and more close to you. In the end, you don’t say the words, just use the number and hometown directly, which makes Ma Cheng confused when he hears their words.

The Chen Wozi that Ma Luan is talking about now is. Ma Cheng knows who he is? There is no way to frown and ask: "Brother, can you just say the name? I really don't know who Chen Wozi is."

When Ma Luan heard Ma Cheng say this, he laughed: "Second brother, you really should study more. Chen Wozi is the Chen Zilong you just praised. Brother Zilong's name is Wozi! His nickname is Dazun!"

It turned out that the handsome guy I met in the Ministry of War a few days ago was Chen Zilong. Ma Cheng knew that he missed the challenge with the counselor he wanted, and he was so angry that he slapped his thigh.

"Oh! You must know that you can be so rude at that time? If you have the chance, you must apologize to Brother Wozi!" Ma Cheng looked at Ma Luan and asked, "Brother, you are fine today! Why not go to see Chen Wozi with me, I have to apologize!"

Ma Luan smiled and said, "Today, Brother Yu is going to make friends, and there is Chen Wozi inside. Why not go with Brother Yu!"

Ma Cheng had long wanted to meet Chen Zilong, but now he heard Ma Luan say this and quickly bowed and said, "Then I will go with my elder brother!"

Since Ma Cheng was going to pay homage to Chen Zilong, of course he could not take Gu Xiying with him. There was no way Ma Cheng had to leave Gu Xiying at home. He and his elder brother Ma Luan went to make friends.

The place where Ma Luan made friends is in Xuanwu Lake. Although the Qinhuai River in the city is a place of makeup, these friends of Ma Luan are basically Jinshi and Juren, and they can get involved with those low-level scholars, so the agreed location is in Xuanwu Lake outside the city.

Although Xuanwu Lake in the Ming Dynasty was a royal garden, it occupied too much, so many places became places for tourists to stop.

Ma Luan took Ma Cheng out of Shence Gate. Outside the gate was the waterway connecting Xuanwu Lake and the Yangtze River, and a carved tour boat was parked here.

This big ship is very grand, with two floors in total. The top floor is the viewing platform for sightseeing, and the cabin below is the cabin.

When a man who looked like a servant in front of the boat saw Ma Luan coming, he quickly bowed and bowed: "Young Master Ma is here! Please come in!"

Ma Luan nodded and asked, "Who has arrived!"

"Return to Master Ma, Master Chen, Master Xia, Master Xu, Master Wu, and Master Hou have all arrived!"

After hearing this, Ma Luan laughed and said, "They came early!" After that, he took Ma Cheng to the springboard and entered the cabin.

The tour boat is very wide, with three compartments inside, and at the outermost part is a reception room. Now there are several people sitting here to enjoy tea.

When several people in the room saw Ma Luan coming in, they all stood up. One of the old guys in his forties smiled and said, "Brother Bo Yu, we just said that whoever comes or Pijiang must be fined three glasses of wine if you come late!"

Ma Luan smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Pijiang hasn't arrived yet, so I don't need to punish you for this wine!"

After Ma Luan finished speaking, he saw that the people in the room looked behind him and quickly introduced him: "By the way, behind me is my second brother Ma Cheng, whose courtesy name is Zhonghe. Today I know that we are friends, so we need to come and see each other first!"

It was normal to bring your younger brothers and nephews to participate in this kind of social occasion in the Ming Dynasty, so no one thought about it.

When Ma Cheng entered the house, he saw Chen Zilong sitting in the third position. Ma Cheng quickly bowed and said, "Brother Chen, I have no eyes a few days ago and I am so disrespectful to Brother Chen. I am guilty of you!"

Chen Zilong had no idea at all, and for the sake of his good friend Ma Luan, he couldn't say anything, and smiled and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. Please get up quickly, brother!"

Ma Luan said at this time: "Second brother, Brother Yu will recommend you! This is Brother Yi Zhong! This is Brother Yan, Brother Wozi, you recognize him! This is Brother Jun, this brother Chaozong! You should call him brother!"

Before Ma Cheng came, he asked Ma Luan who participated today, otherwise he would be so confused by these fonts. In this way, Ma Cheng would also take these people into his heart. Xia Yunyi, the oldest with a beard, and Xu Fuyuan, the richest man in the family, the grandson of Xu Jie back then. The third one was Chen Zilong. The one who recognized him was Wu Weiye, the one who wrote the round song and square song in the Deer and the Cauldron in the later generations, and the last young man with a stinky face was Hou Fangyu.
