Chapter 138: The Jumping Clown Who Hit the Iron Plate
Of course, with just a few words, it was impossible to gently and skillfully untie Zhu Houzhao's heart knot immediately, but at least when this "Little Marquis Zhu" got out of the car, he put an old-fashioned hand on Xu Xun's shoulder, and then said with a smile
Said: "Xu Xun, remember, those words in Huazhou are the secrets of both of us. God knows that you know that I know it!"
Xu Xun, who couldn't laugh or cry, glanced at Liu Jin, who had a confused face but extremely cunning eyes, thinking that there was at least one other insider here. However, of course he would not be stupid enough to refute Zhu Xizhao, so he nodded and quickly changed the subject:
"Little Marquis, although I have been to the Nanjing Imperial College several times, this is my first time here in the capital. When I saw it today, I found that Jinling is charming and the Imperial Capital is majestic, and the style is very different."
"Can Hun? I've long been tired of seeing such a big place. If I have a chance tomorrow, I will definitely go to Nanjing and have a good stroll! By the way, Xu Xun, you are from Nanjing. When the time comes, you will lead the way. What Xuanwu
Lake, Qinhuai River, Jiming Temple, I must visit all those good places!" When it came to this, Zhu Houzhao didn't care what other people's faces were like. He looked around for a while and then complained angrily, "They all say that the whole world is not the land of kings.
, Is it the king's minister on the shore of the land, this world is my father... "They all belong to the emperor, but it is too unfair for the emperor to be confined in such a small palace!"
The eunuchs all laughed in agreement, but Xu Xun secretly thought, if he had been bored in such a Forbidden City all day long for more than ten years, he would be like Zhu Houzhao who wanted to go out. He thought so, now
At that time, he could only respond vaguely. When he saw that the gate of the Imperial College was closed, and he did not know whether Li Yifeng had really sent the person here, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, pointed to the following eunuch and shouted: "You,
Go and ask if Xu Si Xie Shen will accept it!"
The eunuch who had such an unlucky job at the stall pointed to his nose. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had no intention of taking back his life, he could only accept it with a sad face and turned around. At this time, Xu Xun had already seen his own Tao Hong from a distance.
He poked his head around not far away and knew that the appointment was arranged. He looked at Zhu Luzhao with a smile and said, "Little Marquis, it's boring to wait here. Let's go to the Confucian Temple Book Market for a walk first?"
Maybe he heard a new argument in the car, maybe he was freed from the big cell in the Forbidden City, Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood, and immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go there for a stroll!"
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they built the Imperial College just like the previous dynasties. Zhu Ya and Zhang imitated the Xia, Shang and Zhou systems and set up the Imperial College in Jiming Mountain, ten miles away from the bustling city. Zhu Di, like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, moved the capital to Beijing and also moved the Imperial College to Jiming Mountain.
The purpose of choosing Beicheng, which was relatively desolate at the time, was to allow scholars to study with peace of mind and not worry about the secular world. However, scholars are also human beings, and academic officials are also human beings. They must have various needs, so around the Confucian Temple,
Gradually, there are some shops in twos and threes, but after all, they are different from the style, so the most popular ones are various bookstores, study rooms and bookstores. From old books to new books and even erotic pictures, as long as you are willing to spend money and effort, you can find everything.
.
Just like at this moment, Zhu Houzhao visited three bookstores and found several of his favorite paintings of beauties. He, who was originally a little uninterested in this trip, gradually became really interested. On the side
Xu Xun, who was accompanying him while shopping, had to concentrate on dealing with Zhu Houzhao's sudden flash of inspiration. At the same time, he also had to pay attention to Tao Hong's gestures not far away, quietly leading people to the place he had prepared.
Naturally, he worked hard. When he finally led Zhu Houzhao to the bookstore pointed by Tao Hong, and when he could finally take a breath at the door, someone suddenly pulled his sleeve gently.
"Master."
Xu Xun was stunned when he turned around and saw Ah Bao. After all, he had picked up Ah Bao directly from the boat on the canal, and his knowledge was limited. After following him into the capital yesterday, it was like entering the Grand View Garden, and he was cautious and did not dare to take another step.
, his original cleverness was no longer evident, but he had other reasons for accepting the person and didn’t care too much. So, at this moment, he mistakenly thought that A Bao was tired after following the horse and carriage on foot for most of the day.
, then nodded slightly and said: "I have nothing to do with you now, just take a rest."
"No..." Abao quickly shook his head, then straightened up and said, "Master, those people over there are always looking at you, and they look like they have bad intentions... I looked at them with very funny eyes.
It’s like a situation where two groups of people from our boat gang come to find out what’s going on before they fight to the death.”
"What did you say?"
Xu Xun originally thought that Abao had mistakenly identified Tao Hong and others, but when he pretended to be casual and followed Abao's instructions to observe quietly, he immediately discovered two or three sneaky men wearing bamboo hats. When he thought of the scene in Nanjing
The sudden and unexpected assassination made him feel a string in his heart tightening suddenly. He immediately left Ah Bao staring at him and turned back into the store.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao holding a Buddhist scripture he had prepared in advance and bargaining with the shopkeeper, he didn't care to get involved in the flattery. He went straight to the smiling Liu Jin and pulled him aside.
"Liu...Mr. Liu, I have something to discuss with you."
Xu Xun almost said the word "father-in-law", but fortunately he finally changed it. The temporary change of the two words made Liu Jin smile. She suddenly put aside her displeasure at Xu Xun's reckless behavior and asked with a smile.
He said, "What's important, Mr. Xu?"
"The young Marquis came out today. Apart from you, is there anyone else following you?"
"Uh...well...".
Faced with such a sudden question, Liu Jin was a little hesitant, but thinking about what he heard outside the carriage, he felt that Xu Xun, who could make the prince express such fatal thoughts, would definitely be used in the future, and it was worth it.
I tried to win over my husband to show my goodwill, so I rolled my eyes and nodded with a smile: "Of course! The young Marquis is the lifeblood of our Marquis and his wife. How can it be that only a few of us follow him when he comes out? What if this happens?
If something happens, no one can afford it!
Sure enough!
Xu Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was just thinking about how to tell Liu Jin to find someone to take care of the men outside beforehand. Suddenly, he was slapped hard on the shoulder. Startled, he quickly turned around, only to find that
It’s not the imagined Zhu Houzhao who does whatever he wants, but Li Yifeng with a smile on his face.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Xu, we meet again! Why are you following the young Marquis to visit the bookstore?"
Of course, with just a few words, it was impossible to gently and skillfully untie Zhu Houzhao's heart knot immediately, but at least when this "Little Marquis Zhu" got out of the car, he put an old-fashioned hand on Xu Xun's shoulder, and then said with a smile

Xu Xun, who couldn't laugh or cry, glanced at Liu Jin, who had a confused face but extremely cunning eyes, thinking that there was at least one other insider here. However, he certainly would not be stupid enough to refute Zhu Xizhao, so he nodded and quickly changed the subject:
