Chapter 105 The Courtyard Meets Sapphire

Chapter 105 Meeting Lan Yu in the Courtyard

After receiving the agreement, Zhu Funing jumped up and ran to find Zhu Zhen. This little girl was obviously openly accepting bribes to do things. After Zhu Zhen took out something from his arms and gave it to him, she jumped away.

Just now he was coquettishly calling "Fifth Brother" in Zhu Su's arms, but now he is holding Zhu Zhen's bribe without even looking back.

Alas, the love of a child disappears so quickly.

Zhu Zhen slowly walked towards Zhu Su and the others. When he came in front of him, he bowed again and said, "Brother, I have taken the liberty of disturbing you brothers."

"What's not easy to say about my brother? But he got Funing to use this little trick." Zhu Fan said dissatisfied. He hated Zhu Zhen's cautious appearance the most, making it seem as if he, his elder brothers, had bullied him.

generally.

"It's...my brother is taking the liberty." Zhu Zhen quickly apologized.

"Third brother, there is no need to be so harsh." Zhu Su raised his hand to appease Zhu Fen, and then said to Zhu Zhen: "Old Liu, you came to find us because you want to listen to the story with us?"

"Then it's unlucky that you're here. My brothers and I are just about to go out to play in the palace. If you want to hear a story, just come to us when you go back to the main hall to take a rest."

"There is no need to be so formal. We are all brothers, there is no need to live apart."

"This is what Fifth Brother taught me." Hearing Zhu Su say that he had no story to listen to, a flash of disappointment flashed across Zhu Zhen's face. He struggled for a while, raised his head and asked tentatively: "I wonder where brothers... are you going to play?

"

"My little brother is very boring in the palace, can you..."

Zhu Zhen finally followed Zhu Su and the others out of the palace. Seeing his pitiful appearance, even Zhu Fan couldn't bear to refuse him. The brothers put on their regular clothes and left the palace. This time, it was Zhu Su who went to the palace to

Lao Zhu strongly requested it, because the last time he left the palace and caused trouble, Zhu Su had been grounded for the past few months. It took some hard talking to get Lao Zhu to agree to such a break. This is because Fule Yuan is where the Jiaofangsi is located.

, plus their brothers brought enough guards to allow this opening to be opened.

That's natural. Lao Luo's "Three Kingdoms" was born out of various Three Kingdoms stories and was reorganized and created. The "Three Kingdoms" that the old man said was just a defective product that was destined to be eliminated by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in history. He defeated the enemy with one hand.

How can it compare with Lao Luo's version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which has been tested for a long time in later generations?

"Lao Wu, there is nothing to do if you are idle." Zhu Di had finished his meal and took out the "Spring and Autumn" with only one torn page, but the word "Spring and Autumn" was upside down and was not found. "Why don't you continue?

Tell us about these three countries?"

"Second brother, please stop losing your temper. Someone is here to help us test the poison!" Zhu Di said as the wind swept through the remaining clouds. "It must have been my father's order."

It was still early for the poetry meeting, so Zhu Su and the others booked a private room and sat down, listening to an old storyteller downstairs. After a while, the dishes ordered were brought to the private room. Zhu Ping looked at the dishes with a rather amused tone.

Dissatisfied: "Which dog slave stole our brothers' food and let us eat the leftovers!"

"I feel the same way," Zhu Zhen, who had been keeping his head down, said boldly. "Although I only heard a few words relayed by Xiao Funing, I also feel that what the fifth brother said is thousands of times more interesting than this Yuan Dynasty script.

Times. I originally heard what he said was that the Three Kingdoms still had expectations in their hearts, but now when I hear it, all I can hear is that it is boring."

"It's not impossible." Zhu Su also felt bored. He came out this time because he wanted to experience the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty poetry meeting and experience the ancient people's literary talent. It was still early for the poetry meeting, so it would be nice to tell stories.

That's right. "The sixth child only heard what Funing recounted. I'm afraid what Funing recounted when he was still young was not exhaustive. How about I start from the beginning today."

It is located along the river, with beautiful scenery, across the river from Jiangnan Gongyuan, which is also the Imperial College. Seeing this site selection, Zhu Su couldn't help but complain about Lao Zhu in his heart: If the brothel is built directly opposite the country's highest university, those students will do it every day

It’s weird that you’re still thinking about reading!

However, Fule Yuan actually does not have much flesh-and-blood business. The literati in the early Ming Dynasty were relatively pure. There were more storytellers and geishas here. People listened to books and music here, and occasionally held literary meetings here.

Literary friends. This place is close to the water and overlooks the city. It is full of literary atmosphere. It is the most suitable place for reciting poems and meeting friends.

The old man downstairs was talking about the Yuan Dynasty script "Three Kingdoms". The old man spoke in a cadence, and from time to time, the people in the outer hall would burst into laughter. Zhu Xi and others listened for a while, but they said in disgust: "This

What you are talking about is also called the Three Kingdoms? It sounds ordinary, but what you said, Lao Wu, is much more interesting than him!"

Looking at the Qinhuai River in front of him, Zhu Su deeply felt that he had come to the wrong era. The legendary Ten-mile Painted Boat did not appear when the river was swollen. There were only a few boatmen driving small boats in the Qinhuai River. There was no aura of wealth and nobility in Jinling, but a bit desolate.

feeling.

"It seems that in the early Ming Dynasty, this city had not yet reached the prosperity that would attract countless literati and poets decades later." Zhu Su thought to himself. "I hope it will become prosperous as soon as possible and continue to be prosperous."

Although there is not yet the "Qinhuai Twenty-Fourth Floor" that men of later generations yearn for, today's Qinhuai River has the first building on the twenty-fourth floor, "Fu Le Yuan". Fule Yuan is the residence of the Jiaofang Division.

Suppose, that is to say, this is a government-run brothel, endorsed by Lao Zhu. At this time, Yingtian Mansion, the magnificent Fule Yuan built by the imperial court, was the most high-end gold-selling house in the entire Ming Dynasty.

cave.

Only then did Zhu Fang calm down his temper. Zhu Su looked at the dishes that were obviously bitten and couldn't put down his chopsticks, so he simply put down his chopsticks and listened to the storyteller downstairs. Although Lao Zhu let them go out for a walk

, but the security is really very cautious, there are even guys who specialize in testing drugs...

After all, he was the Hongwu Emperor. How could he accomplish such a big undertaking if he made the children fearful even if he was bitten by a snake?

But there is another possibility. Along the way, Zhu Su could always notice extremely hidden glances from various angles. He already knew that Lao Zhu had already asked the Arch Guards to be reorganized into Jin Yiwei in advance. He thought that these glances were from Jin Yiwei.

The people in the city were secretly protecting their brothers' spies. Lao Zhu must have been confident that he had completely mastered the Yingtian Mansion, so he allowed Zhu Su to live in Zhuangzi outside the city and allowed his brothers to go out for fun.

Zhu Zhen was excited and grateful at the same time, as were Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di. They had not heard about the Three Kingdoms once, but even hearing such a good story dozens or hundreds of times would not be too much. How many people were there at the moment?

So he sat upright and listened to the sound of the old man downstairs speaking "Pinghua". He opened the window and started talking about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from the beginning.

The story of the Three Kingdoms was very popular, and Zhu Zhen and the others were fascinated by it. Although Zhu Su was already familiar with it, his heart couldn't help but get hot when he talked about the heroes and heroines. This talk actually lasted for a long time, and it was so elegant.

No one in the house knew what year it was, not even the sound of gongs and drums downstairs and the old man's storyteller disappeared. When Zhu Su said that Guan Yun had passed five passes, killed six generals, and finally returned to Liu Bei, he heard

There was a loud shout outside the room, which brought everyone in the private room back to reality from the situation of the Three Kingdoms.

"Okay! This Guan Yunchang! He is a good man who hides his extravagance! Only such a man can live up to the name of our Chinese hero!"

"It's a pity that I, Lan Yu, was born at the wrong time. Otherwise, I would definitely have brought a jug of good wine and drank three hundred cups of it with Guan Yunchang!"
