The voice sounded familiar, but after thinking about it for a while, I couldn't remember who it was.
However, listening to the voices coming from the private room next to them, the speakers were relatively young. Moreover, their tone was full of unscrupulousness and arrogance.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi frowning slightly, Li Jinglong was extremely panicked. He gave the shopkeeper a hard look, bowed and whispered, "Third Master, where are you going to spare your innocence and let me drive you away?"
No need! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said magnanimously, people also spend money to eat, and they have not violated the king's laws, so why should they be kicked out? Besides, isn't the reason why we go out to eat just for fun? There is no need to use power to overwhelm others!
You are wise! Li Jinglong bowed and smiled, then turned coldly to the shopkeeper, why are you still standing there? Make arrangements! Be careful!
The shopkeeper didn't dare to raise his head and slowly left with his hands down.
At this time, there was some laughter in the private room next to it that everyone knew, but the tone of the words was not so high.
It is not a big sin for a young man to show off his youth. Besides, there are some children of wealthy families who are not public about it. Especially when a group of young people get together, publicity is also a way to flaunt their status.
In these days, as long as the children of powerful families did not violate the king's laws or commit crimes or commit crimes, the emperor had no control over their food, drink, and entertainment.
After a while, the banquet was served. There was a dazzling array of dishes, and the table was full. They were all decorated with fine Jingdezhen porcelain, with carvings and inscriptions inside, and the plates were beautifully arranged.
The first thing to notice is the color. The dishes on the plate are red and white, with green accents. Just looking at them is pleasing to the eye.
Now that you're out, don't be restrained! Zhu Yunxi said to the ministers who came out with him, "Sit down. No one can eat at this table!"
Hearing this, all the ministers bowed down and took their seats. Only the bastard stood behind Zhu Yunxi without saying a word, holding a wine bottle in his hands.
Mr. Third, please try this crab meat and lion head, it will melt in your mouth! Li Jinglong diligently opened a porcelain bowl and said with a smile, seasoned with aged stock, it is soft and glutinous, but also has a delicious fragrance! After that, with his own hands I served Zhu Yunxi a bowl.
In the white bowl, the lion's head is wrapped in clear soup, which is fragrant.
Zhu Yunxi took a gentle bite, and his lips and teeth were immediately filled with fragrance. You said it was soft but it was still a little elastic. You said it was elastic, but it melted in your mouth.
Okay, not bad! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, better than the ones in the palace!
It is true that there is no such good craftsmanship in the palace. In fact, the royal dishes may not be as good as those enjoyed by wealthy people. The emperor and his concubines have fixed rules and strict regulations on what they eat every day. The cooks do not care at all. If you dare to be careless, you don't dare to do anything fancy or come up with something novel.
Seeing how delicious Zhu Yunxi's food was, Li Jinglong was overjoyed and said, "You are happy with it, my face is bright!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the dishes on the table and smiled and said, the taste is better than the ones in the palace, and the workmanship is finer than those in the palace. He said, as if joking, that the emperor may have never eaten such good dishes in his life!
Although the old man is an emperor, he may not have seen these things before. He has been eating in a big pot all his life. He doesn’t know anything about Sichuan, Lu, Huai and Guangdong. He only knows things like stir-fried bacon with pickles, big bowls of roasted mutton, and braised pork elbows.
Another day, when the emperor is free, I will prepare a table and send him to the palace! Li Jinglong said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi asked again, how much does this table cost?
Li Jinglong pondered for a moment, not daring to lie, and said, "Go back to the third master, wait for a table at this table, it will cost you eight silver dollars!"
Expensive! Zhu Yunxi smiled.
It should be noted that although prices in Yingtianfu, the capital, are more expensive than elsewhere, a well-off family of four only spends two silver dollars a month. This table is enough for four people to live for half a year.
Li Jinglong said carefully, there are many rich people in the capital, and those who can spend money here want the spectacle...
I understand! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, Eat, eat everything, use chopsticks!
In this kind of place, eating means ostentation and face.
Just like in later generations, in any small street restaurant, stir-fried pork with chili peppers only costs twenty yuan, but in a five-star hotel, if the plate is better and a pretty girl serves it, the price will be at least ten times higher.
Zhu Yunxi asked others to use their chopsticks, and these few people began to eat lightly, but they all ate in front of themselves and held a little against the edge of the plate.
At this moment, some drunken bad laughter came from the private room next to it. Brothers, what do you guys call the Hanlin that includes Xiao Yunxi? These damn scholars have a dog-like appearance.
He also does this kind of thing behind his back! Hey, I'm confused. As an official, he really likes to buy Xiao Yunxi directly and take it home, or redeem it and settle it in a private house. He also puts the person in a romantic place, this
He doesn't feel uncomfortable with poking or poking?
Another voice also said with a bad smile, "Second brother, maybe Mr. Hanlin likes this kind of tune. As the saying goes, it's better to have fun alone...it's better to have fun together with everyone."
!
It’s over, it’s going to be bad! When the words came here, Li Jinglong’s heart skipped a beat and he looked at Zhu Yunxi’s profile carefully.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, officials are not allowed to visit prostitutes or enter the land of romance. Zhu Yunxi looked at He Guangyi, who was sitting on pins and needles, and said, "You are the eyes and ears of the emperor. The Jinyi Guards have the responsibility of supervising all officials. Why are these things not reported? I ask you, this kind of thing
, much?
As soon as he finished asking, Zhu Yunxi felt that it was unnecessary for him to ask such a question.
If there is one, there are two. There must be countless such things.
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of desolation in his heart. Under the eyes of the grand master of the Ming Dynasty, there were people secretly trying to do things that were prohibited by the imperial court. But his desolation did not lie there. The old master hated corruption so much that he kept prohibiting it and could not cure it.
I can't control this kind of affair.
What makes him sad is that there are so many inspectors and censors in the court, who usually go to great lengths to impeach due to political differences and factional disputes. But this kind of thing, this kind of thing is spread among the children of wealthy families.
, and no one said anything.
That's right, romantic affairs are considered an elegant matter among literati. And others are just prostitutes, so why bother the censor? Unless they are political enemies of life and death, no one will make a fuss about this kind of thing, and they will become evil people for nothing.
As the saying goes, it is better to do less than to do more, especially things that everyone does in private and secretly!
I'm guilty! He Guangyi stood up in a hurry, then knelt down and said, I'm not not telling your Highness, but...
I understand, Jin Yiwei should have reported this matter to the old man.
It's just that the old man secretly remembered it and didn't have an attack.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi suddenly remembered what the old man said when he and the old man left the palace and passed by the Qinhuai River. The emperor controls the sky and the earth, but he can't control other people's crotches!
Get up! Zhu Yunxi said, turn around and play solo for me to listen to!
He Guangyi is like receiving a general pardon, kowtows, and obeys the order!
After a good meal, Zhu Yunxi was no longer in the mood, and he didn't want to be here and continue to listen to the rather harsh words of those flamboyant young people in the private room next to him.
He was about to leave, but the voice in the private room next to him suddenly became sharp again.
What, not coming? The familiar voice of Zhu Yunxi pulled his neck and shouted, I have given her face, she is a slave girl, but she really thinks of herself as a chaste martyrdom? Is it to satisfy my appetite, or is she just playing showmanship instead of selling herself, she is pure and pure?
A set? What’s wrong with imitating the poor literati’s pursuit of fame and reputation?
Afterwards, the teenagers in the private room next to him started yelling and cursing.
I asked her because I thought highly of her, but she came out to sell it alone because she felt that she had less money. She thought she had some reputation in the capital, so she asked me to ask for a high price, and asked him to spend more money on her to make her beautiful?
Brothers, you guys, come and smash up that brothel with me, and show off that little Xiyun's face to see if she's still pretty!
Let’s go with my second brother!
Copy guys, bring your generals with you!
The second brother said smash it, and the brother smashed it for you!
The private room next to it was filled with the sound of tables being moved and people buzzing.
Master, it can’t be done! It seemed like the servant was trying to dissuade her. When I went to call that little Xiyun, I heard from the people around her that it wasn’t that she wasn’t coming, but that she had already gone out in the middle of the night to accompany others!
who?
I heard that this slave is a Hanlin master from the Hanlin Academy......
What kind of Hanlin is this? Our family is a relative of the emperor, so it is Hanlin who is being beaten. When the time comes, I will take off that Hanlin’s pants and send them directly to the East Palace!
When the people around Zhu Yunxi heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
At this moment, Zhu Yunxi finally remembered this flamboyant young man, who was his last name?
This person really has the qualifications to make a name for himself in the capital!
