"If you don't go to Guangdong, you don't know that you have little money; if you don't go to the capital, you don't know that you have a young official!"
Entering the private room on the second floor, Zhu Yunxi glanced at the furnishings and utensils in the room, and said with a smile, "If you really want to talk about money, there is no comparison in the world at the feet of the emperor in the capital! Look at these things, porcelain is
Guangzhou’s colorful porcelain, ivory ornaments, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and carpet embroidery, wow..."
"It's just a theater, but the furnishings are more elegant and exquisite than those of a wealthy family!"
Zhu Gaochi happened to come in from behind, and when he heard this, he curled his lips in his heart, "Isn't this fucking nonsense? Can a rich place have more money than a powerful place? Besides, don't go to a cheap place! It's obvious that this place is not
The common people are here!”
"Hong Xi, sit down!" Zhu Yunxi stood at the window and looked down. He was singing on the stage, and the floor below was filled with black heads. "It's costing you money!"
Zhu Gaochi felt a physical pain in his heart when he thought of throwing out a handful of golden beans just now.
Private room? Private old girl, a handful of golden beans, a private room, and more than twenty private rooms upstairs! Whose money was brought by the strong wind?
But in the next second, he suddenly felt that the money was well spent. The young man who had just been waiting for guests downstairs came with a row of young girls in their twenties and eight years in the fragrant breeze.
She stood in a row in front of Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi with her low eyebrows, gentle and graceful. Looking up casually, it made people feel itchy.
"Master, take a look and choose!" The young man nodded and bowed with a smile, "Which girl should you choose to accompany..."
Gulu!
Zhu Gaochi looked at the lively scene in front of him and swallowed, "Isn't this a theater troupe? Are these girls...?"
"I'm just serving you some tea and water!" The young man bent down and said with a smile, "Listening to a play is a difficult task, but having a girl by your side can also tell jokes to relieve your boredom!"
"Listening to the opera is quite boring!" Zhu Gaochi's eyes rolled around and he looked at each one.
As for Zhu Yunxi, the moment these people came in, a scene that he had once been very familiar with but had forgotten for many years suddenly appeared in his mind, so that he was a little lost.
"Hello boss, I am number 168..."
"Hello boss, I am number 92..."
"Boss, here are the ones with a thousand and eight dollars, and here are the ones with a thousand and six... If you don't like it, I will give you another batch of high-quality products, all of which are in school..."
He quickly shook his head, frowned and said, "No, we are just listening to the show and drinking tea, and we will leave in a while!"
The young man was startled, obviously he didn't expect to have such a guest.
He wanted to talk again, but Deng Ping rudely kicked him out.
Zhu Yunxi crossed his legs, leaned on the Arhat bed, and said sadly, "It has only been a few years since the founding of the country, and the custom has been corrupted to this extent!"
"Why are you pretending to be serious?" Zhu Gaochi followed the girls away with his eyes, and then cursed in his heart, "You came here to be a saint? Why are you pretending to be noble?"
"There are many dignitaries in Beijing, and there are many ways to eat, drink and have fun!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "Oh, it's not good to go to a brothel openly. This kind of private meeting...the theater troupe does suit their appetite!"
, and sighed, "When the old man was here, he repeatedly ordered not to be immoral. How many years has it passed? He has forgotten all about it!"
You don't need to think too deeply to know what a theater like this is for and who it entertains.
Although the old man did not prohibit folk romance, in order to prevent Wen Tian from playing martial arts, he was not even allowed to listen to operas. Especially in the army, any officer who listened to operas had his ears cut off and was sent to Yunnan. There were opera singers who even had their tongues stained with criminals.
He was cut off and sent to Yunnan.
Not only are you not allowed to sing opera, you are not allowed to play chess. Whichever hand you play chess with, chop which one!
Not even Cuju. Anyone who plays Cuju will be stamped on!
"Today is different from the past. Aren't these days better?" Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when our country was just founded, we were poor and had hundreds of industries waiting to be prospered. We couldn't be enthusiastic about enjoyment because of anti-corruption. But now the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, and we don't eat or drink when we are rich.
For fun, wouldn’t that... be a fantasy?"
After saying that, he paused, looked at Zhu Yunxi's expression, and said with a smile, "In the final analysis, it is because of your ability to govern the country and make the world peaceful, that this prosperous age can be achieved. Besides, you cannot help but enjoy things. Confucius
Yun, food and sex are also..."
"Stop flattering! Be careful when slapping the horse's hooves!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, then sighed slightly, "A prosperous age? I'm afraid that the wine and meat of the rich family will stink, and the bones will freeze to death on the road!"
"Can you please stop being so awkward?" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, "You are the one who said it, and you are the one who is raising eyebrows here. At this time, you are still worried about the country and the people! You are the emperor,
If you weren't, do you think I'd give you two a thumbs up? The world is so gorgeous, who are you pretending to be innocent for?"
"Hey, actually, I just want to find a place to stay quietly for a while and talk to you!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "You don't know, I am upset!"
"You said you were fat and you were out of breath! A quiet place? The morgue is quiet, why don't you go?" Zhu Gaochi curled his lips again in his heart, "Hypocritical! You are making yourself unhappy, and you are also making others unhappy too.
,Are you feeling a little abnormal?"
Deng Ping, who had been standing behind Zhu Yunxi, looked at Zhu Gaochi's profile and shook his head secretly.
"His Royal Highness still won't come? If the emperor says he doesn't want it, he won't stay? Can the emperor say he wants it? You haven't even thought about this? Didn't you hear the emperor say that you are upset? Are you tired?"
"If my brother-in-law is here, just clear the place and drive out all the irrelevant people. Doesn't it make it difficult for the emperor to do this in full view of everyone?"
At this time, Zhu Yunxi noticed that Zhu Gaochi had not spoken for a long time, and said, "Why don't you speak?"
"Hmm..." Zhu Gaochi thought about it, "I have a stomachache!"
At this moment, a plainclothes guard came in from outside the door, stood behind Zhu Yunxi and spoke softly.
Then Zhu Yunxi's eyes drifted over, "Didn't you say the venue was reserved?
"I really didn't bring that much money!" Zhu Gaochi forced a smile.
But then, he felt something was wrong.
Even if he didn't reserve the venue, those people under Xizi would just let people in at will?
"He asked me to come here to listen to a show, or does it have some other purpose?" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself.
At this time, the footsteps outside grew from small to large, accompanied by bursts of hearty laughter.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty... haven't you killed enough?"
The reason why he thought so was because the sounds outside sounded particularly familiar to him.
~~
"It's still fun to follow Uncle Twelve and Uncle Eighteen!"
"It's just that, the house is like a prison, and I don't have any freedom at all!"
"Brother is also nagging, talking about being a human being with his tail between his legs all day long, as if we are prisoners!"
"Since you're in the capital, you have to enjoy it. Otherwise, what are you going to do? Eat and wait to die? Life is short!"
"What I'm saying is that we have nothing now, but we still have some spare money. The only way to relieve our worries is to be happy!"
The sounds from outside spread to the private room one after another.
Zhu Yunxi's expression remained unchanged and he drank tea in small sips.
Zhu Gaochi, on the other hand, looked terrified, fearing that those voices would say something unpleasant again.
Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of footsteps.
Zhu Gaochi looked out from the ajar door and saw that the young man who had just entered the room next to him with a long list of women, followed by bursts of undisguised laughter.
Then, the little boy walked out alone holding a banknote and stood at the top of the stairs shouting loudly.
"In the private room upstairs, distinguished guests will be rewarded fifty yuan!"
Zhu Yunxi put down the tea bowl, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and sighed, "Hey!"
