Chapter 426: Early Spring Garden

When Zhu Changluo's carriage arrived at the early spring garden, the sky was already deep and mysterious, with stars scattered, and the bustling streets were also brightly lit and crowded.

A prosperous scene of the Ming Dynasty was presented to you, and this scene was no less than Zhang Zeduan's Qingming River Map.

In front of the early spring garden, it is as lively as ever, and it is also one of the fixed places where literati and poets of the Ming Dynasty often gather. Therefore, the decoration here also looks particularly elegant and unique, which is very in line with the aesthetics of scholars.

"Master, be careful."

Wei Zhongxian wanted to reach out and help Zhu Changluo get out of the car.

Zhu Changluoxue pushed for a while, and then said, "Call me, young master. Today I am also a scholar."

Wei Zhongxian immediately replied: "Yes, young master."

Hearing this young master, Zhu Changluo suddenly felt that this was the standard match for a time traveler. However, the only regret was that he was not a handsome girl, but a white-faced eunuch.

It's really a shame!

However, Zhu Changluo still smiled and said, "That's right. You don't have to be so reserved. Just be more ordinary. Today, Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi follow you, it's okay."

Wei Zhongxian looked at Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi following him, and he was relieved.

He really didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so brave that he left the palace without even taking a guard.

However, fortunately, Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi were there, otherwise, if he was a eunuch with no power to follow him, his heart would be a little unbearable.

After all, if His Royal Highness makes any mistakes, he will have to move.

Zhu Changluo is now a man of about 1.7 meters tall, dressed as a Confucian scholar, walking in a Confucian shirt, his clothes are full of wind, as if he is a young master from a turbid world walking out of a painting.

Zhu Changluo walked in front, Wei Zhongxian followed closely behind, Hu Huaide and Li Wuyi followed in great faith, silently staring at everyone, not allowing any suspicious people to approach Zhu Changluo.

Several people arrived in Chuchun Garden one after another. After Wei Zhongxian showed the invitation, Zhu Changluo and others went straight into the innermost place where the Beijing Academy gathered.

The Beijing Academy has a long history and its composition is complex. It is not just the students from the capital. Almost all scholars from the south and north of the Ming Dynasty may appear in this academic society.

The purpose of this school was to organize students outside the capital to come to Beijing to join forces to keep warm. Gradually, with the increasing status of the capital and the continuous holding of the imperial examinations once every three years, the loose school of the Beijing Society actually existed miraculously.

People who come to the Beijing Academy of Sciences all come to communicate with each other and make friends. This is different from some book clubs with big bosses in charge of regional and school-like books. The Beijing Academy of Sciences has no political opinion, and it is free to come and go, and it is undoubtedly the most relaxed school club in the capital. As long as scholars come, the Beijing Academy of Sciences will always come.

It is not like those book clubs, but also depends on the region, the origin of family education and the master's teachings.

So, the environment here is quite relaxing and comfortable.

But it is precisely this relaxed and comfortable environment that has made the Beijing Academy of Sciences not form a political force, but has become a gathering society that seeks news and makes friends and has fun.

"Young Master, there are still spaces there, let's go there."

As soon as Wei Zhongxian entered the door, he looked at where there was a free seat. After he saw an empty seat, he immediately said to Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo ignored Wei Zhongxian, and he was still searching for the situation in the early spring garden.

Soon, Zhu Changluo saw an alien who was tall and dressed in Hanfu but obviously had a high nose, blonde hair and blue eyes. Zhu Changluo said, "Let's go there."

Zhu Changluo's purpose was very clear. He came to find Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci.

Although, he had never seen these two people.

However, Matteo Ricci was so easy to recognize. He was a Westerner and looked completely different from the Ming people. Moreover, his figure was a little taller than that of ordinary Ming people.

So, it's still easy to find him.

Zhu Changluo led Wei Zhongxian and others to walk over, and then stood opposite Matteo Ricci. Zhu Changluo glanced at Matteo Ricci, then raised his hand to perform a flat ceremony between scholars next to Matteo Ricci, "Hello, can you sit here?"

Xu Guangqi was suddenly asked by the young and noble young man. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Please give me your wish, little brother."

Zhu Changluo thanked again: "Thank you brother."

Then, Zhu Changluo sat generously opposite Xu Guangqi. Zhu Changluo looked at Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci with a little appreciation. Such eyes made Xu Guangqi frown slightly. He felt that the young man in front of him was too unreasonable. How could he scan such an unscrupulous way?

However, when he saw him being out of ordinary people's temperament, his eyes were not looking at Matteo Ricci, a foreigner with a curious attitude, so this also made Xu Guangqi let go of some prejudices. After all, Matteo Ricci is his friend, and if he was treated like this, he would not be able to stand his face.

Xu Guangqi also looked at Zhu Changluo's clothes and temperament. He could also guess that the young man's family must be either rich or noble, so Xu Guangqi no longer cared about Zhu Changluo's gaze. After all, the other party was only half a boy in his eyes. At the age of being taller than the sky, it was inevitable that he had some domineering temperament. After all, everyone is more young and can understand more or less.

Therefore, Xu Guangqi still asked Zhu Changluo with great care: "Where is the person from the little brother?"

When Zhu Changluo heard Xu Guangqi speak, he was happy. He wanted to continue talking.

This is a pillow that I am sleepy and saves myself trouble.

Zhu Changluo replied: "My ancestors were from Fengyang. Later, they moved to the capital and took root in the capital."

When Xu Guangqi heard that he was from Fengyang, he saw Zhu Changluo's vague temperament, and he had a rough judgment in his heart. He thought that the little brother in front of him must be the noble descendant of a family, otherwise, how could he have such temperament and nobleness in every move? Although he was deliberately making himself ordinary, his extraordinary temperament could no longer be covered.

Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "Fengyang is a good place."

Zhu Changluo also smiled and said, "Maybe. But I have been in the capital since I was a child and have never left. I don't know what Fengyang is. Where is the elder brother from?"

Zhu Changluo's last question changed "Brother" to "Brother", and he deliberately narrowed the distance.

Xu Guangqi said: "Brother Yu is from the Xu family of Songjiang Prefecture, a native of Nanzhili."

When Zhu Changluo heard about Xu in Songjiang, he knew that he had not found the wrong person this time, and this person was the Xu Guangqi he had always dreamed of.

Zhu Changluo smiled on his face, and he praised: "Songjiang is indeed a brilliant person. His brother is obviously an extraordinary person. His achievements in the future will definitely be famous for his eternal eternity!"

Zhu Changluo's words were heard by a group of people on the table.

These people were immediately upset.

One of them retorted: "Our Changzhou Prefecture is the most outstanding person. The chief minister of the dynasty was from Wuxi, our Changzhou Prefecture."

During the Ming Dynasty, Wuxi belonged to Changzhou Prefecture.

Zhu Changluo and Xu Guangqi heard someone shouting like this, and Zhu Changluo frowned. How could there be such a person?

Zhu Changluo turned around and looked at the proud scholar. Zhu Changluo said, "Are you from Changzhou?"

The man said proudly: "That's right, I am the Gu family of Wuxi!"

Zhu Changluo said calmly: "I haven't heard it before."

Zhu Changluo's ignorance made this man's face suddenly become a little uneasy. He is a Gu family in Wuxi! The Gu family is a high-ranking family in Wuxi, and is a complete scholarly family. Jinshi has appeared almost from generation to generation.

According to advanced words, Gu's family is a family of soldiers! It is not comparable to Fengyang's nouveau riche and Songjiang's mud-legged ones.

"It's outrageous! My Wuxi Gu family is a big shot, why haven't you heard of it?"

This man couldn't help but argue with Zhu Changluo.

However, Zhu Changluo obviously didn't want to pay attention to him. Zhu Changluo ignored him and continued to ask Xu Guangqi concernedly: "Does your brother have a place to stay in Beijing? My family is a small property in the capital. Today, I will fall in love with my brother when I see him. If my brother doesn't dislike him, I have a different courtyard to give it to my brother's small residence."

Zhu Changluo said that he wanted to give him a house. This kind of richness is incomparable to ordinary people.

Xu Guangqi was also shocked by Zhu Changluo's enthusiasm. The residence in the capital was not that simple to buy.

When Xu Guangqi came to Beijing, he almost always lived with his friends and elders in Beijing. As for buying industries in the capital, he had never thought that it was because the industries in Beijing were too expensive. Even if it was a drop in the bucket for their Xu family, it might be a sky-high price for Xu Guangqi's lineage.

Xu Guangqi quickly refused: "Brother Yu has recognized the feelings of his little brother. Brother Yu has a place to live in the capital."

When Zhu Changluo heard Xu Guangqi's answer, he didn't ask. After all, he just gave up the house and was just a whim. It seemed that he was used to being too big, and he would spend money like soil if he was not careful.

Zhu Changluo's remarks about sending the house were heard by the Gu people next to him.

The Gu family snorted: "Nowadays."

At this time, Wei Zhongxian, who was beside him, suddenly said angrily to the Gu family: "Rareless!"

Zhu Changluo immediately stopped Wei Zhongxian and said, "Get back, you have no say here."

Wei Zhongxian retreated in disappointment and stood honestly behind Zhu Changluo.

However, this Gu man who was angrily scolded by Wei Zhongxian could no longer be depressed. He was actually scolded by a servant.

He immediately said to Wei Zhongxian: "You, immediately kneel down to apologize to this young master and slap yourself ten times in the face. Otherwise, this matter would not be resolved!"

After Wei Zhongxian heard this, his eyes were almost filled with fire. Since he followed Zhu Changluo, even the chief minister did not dare to say this to him. What is this little thing that has not been weaned?

However, Zhu Changluo was in front, and Wei Zhongxian also resisted the attack and waited for Zhu Changluo's instructions.

Zhu Changluo looked at the Gu family with a calm look and said, "Which lineage are you from the Gu family in Wuxi?"

When a Gu family member heard Zhu Changluo ask this, he said arrogantly: "What? Now I know that I'm afraid? I'm from the Jingli lineage of Gu family in Wuxi. My uncle is the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department and Mr. Jingyang, who is in charge of the promotion and transfer of officials."

When Zhu Changluo heard this, he smiled. What a great official.

After hearing the Gu family's words, Xu Guangqi was worried that things would go a long way, so he clasped his fists and asked, "What do you call him the emperor of the Taiwan family?"

Gu's human being said: "Gu Xiandao, whose courtesy name is destiny."

Xu Guangqi said: "In the Songjiang Mansion, Xu Guangqi, I will compensate you for this little brother. I hope you are a lot of masters, so don't make things difficult for him."

Zhu Changluo stood up and stopped Xu Guangqi. Zhu Changluo said, "Brother, don't have to stand up for me. What I am most afraid of in Beijing is threats."

Then Zhu Changluo said to Gu Xiandao: "I heard that Mr. Jingyang is a moral gentleman and a decent person. I believe he would not mess with the court's laws for the sake of juniors like you. Moreover, if you say Mr. Jingyang is your uncle, what is the name of Lingzun? Is it Gu Xingcheng or Gu Zicheng?"

Zhu Changluo's words made Gu Xiandao speechless. He didn't know Gu Xiancheng's immediate relatives at all. His relationship with Gu Xiancheng was a distant relative who could not even be tied to. Gu Xiancheng probably didn't know that he had such a nephew.

Moreover, when he first spoke, he mentioned the prime minister of the dynasty, Shen Shixing, but anyone with a little political acumen in Beijing knew that Shen Shixing was now a traitor who was comparable to Yan Song in Qingliu's eyes.

He sometimes compared himself to his hometown with Shen Shixing, and sometimes he called Gu Xiancheng, Qingliu, his uncle.

The inconsistency between these words is enough to show that this person is a second-rate man who likes to be slutty. Once he meets someone who understands the facts, he will instantly show his true form!

Gu Xiandao was asked by Zhu Changluo's words, his face turned blue and white. He really didn't expect to meet someone who knew Gu Xiancheng so well. Now, his face was a little unbearable.

Gu Xiandao snorted: "A villain should not speak to you! A gentleman will not stand in the mud!"

After saying that, he swayed his sleeves and left here, went to the other side and found a seat again and sat down.

Zhu Changluo looked at the situation and met Xu Guangqi and smiled.

"I made my brother laugh. Let me introduce it formally. Zhu Zhengshou."

Zhu Changluo also gave himself a pseudonym, which was taken from the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty and his alias for being named General.

This can be regarded as Zhu Changluo's alternative tribute to this controversial Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, Zhu Houzhao's fame is also very controversial in later generations. On the one hand, some say that he liberated his nature and lived his true self; On the other hand, some say that he was stupid and unruly and favored treacherous.

As for what kind of person he is, it doesn’t matter anymore. Now it is the era of Zhu Changluo. It depends on how future generations evaluate Zhu Changluo.
