Chapter 498 Eating flower wine by the Qinhuai River

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Duke of Wei and said, "I have decided, I don't need to say anything more to you, my dear."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Chao beside him and said, "I have also prepared a set of clothes for my dear, why not change it with me, right?"

Duke Wei was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the emperor was not polite to him. This made him feel a little bad.

The emperor privately asked you to go out with him, either he was very close to you and did not treat you as an outsider, so he took you out with him.

The relationship between the Duke of Wei and the emperor was not as good as this, and this was the first time I met the emperor.

The current emperor is a very courageous person and is not so friendly to the elderly. Under such circumstances, this condition is naturally impossible.

So, that's definitely the second one.

The second point is naturally that you have committed a crime. The emperor wants to deal with you and bring you with him because he is afraid that you will make trouble or disrupt his plans, or even take you to the scene to take a look and then ask you to confess your guilt.

The Duke of Wei just said that it was actually a test. If the emperor's attitude was not very firm, maybe he could still discuss it.

But judging from the current situation, the emperor's attitude was not ordinary and he had to let the Duke of Wei follow him.

Under such circumstances, the Duke of Wei could not do without following.

So the Duke of Wei could only say, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will change my clothes now."

Looking at Eunuch Wei's back, Zhu Youxiao turned around expressionlessly and ordered: "Prepare for a while and set off."

The place Zhu Youxiao was going to is naturally by the Qinhuai River.

In Nanjing, the Qinhuai River is the most famous place.

There are many flower boats by the Qinhuai River and there are many courtesans every year. This is already a very prosperous industry in Nanjing.

Zhu Youxiao had heard of it in later generations, so he was naturally very curious. However, if you want to meet the famous Qinhuai Eight Beauties, it is impossible at this time. Some of them were born a few years ago, and some were not yet born, so don’t think about it.

I wonder what the courtesan here looks like in this era?

You can go and take a look.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not have much hope. After all, in his palace, whether it is Concubine Tian or Concubine Yuan, they were all selected from the beauties in the world. Whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or appearance, they are not comparable to ordinary people, and the selection range is not the same level.

Not to mention Queen Zhang, Zhu Youxiao doesn’t think anyone here can catch up with his or her jewel.

But... since Zhu Youxiao has arrived in Nanjing, he naturally has to go to such a place to take a look, which is considered to be a more knowledgeable experience.

In addition, there are things that Zhu Youxiao is interested in in this kind of place, and I think you will get a good harvest tonight.

In Nanjing, this is an industry. Behind them, there is another industry.

After leaving the palace, the group rushed directly to the Qinhuai River.

Duke Wei followed behind, with a slightly exciting expression on his face.

He saw where His Majesty was going in this direction, and it was clearly meant to go to the Qinhuai River to visit the flower boat.

This is not what the emperor should do. If someone knows that he and the emperor go to the Qinhuai River, then he would probably be a sin.

Under such circumstances, Duke Wei wanted to persuade him.

But he was disappointed. He couldn't get close to Zhu Youxiao, let alone talk to Zhu Youxiao.

Those eunuchs surrounded Zhu Youxiao with a tight look, which looked very loose, but it was basically impossible for anyone to lean over.

Even no matter what direction he shot, he could not shoot at Zhu Youxiao. There were people blocking him from all sides. Under such circumstances, it was unlikely that Duke Wei would like to speak.

After nightfall, the Qinhuai River became lively.

Countless people were playing and walking here, shouting and shouting.

The lanterns along both sides of the street were also hung up. The red lanterns made people a little dazzled. I wonder if the word "Red Light District" looks like this.

Seeing that there were many scholars passing by, shaking folding fans in their hands, Zhu Youxiao was in a bad mood.

Next to this street by the Qinhuai River are the Confucius Temple and the Gongyuan. Many of the places that have such fame and business as they are now are also supported by these so-called scholars, who are willing to spend a lot of money on this place.

In the Ming Dynasty, they were the upper class, with money, land, status in society, and enjoying everything.

As for what to do? What do they do?

There were more exploitation and exploitation. There were very few scholars who could become officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there were not many compared to the overall number.

These people who have not become officials are using the privileges of scholars to exploit the country and the people.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the Duke of Wei behind him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, perhaps those scholars were not as good as this guy.

Not far along the street, I saw a very large facade with bright lights and someone was welcoming guests at the door.

On the river in front of the door, there are three very large flower boats parked. Even in this place, it is still very large.

Obviously, these three flower boats are from this building in front of you. It can be seen that this is a very big deal.

Zhu Youxiao took the man over, shaking the folding fan in his hand, looking like a handsome young man in the turbid world.

After coming to this brothel, Zhu Youxiao's eyes seemed to be attracted.

Standing there, looking at the plaque in front of him, Zhu Youxiao showed a thoughtful expression.

The plaque is very large and very gorgeous, with three big words written on it:

Lichunyuan.

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and called Duke Wei directly in front of him and asked, "Love, it seems very extraordinary here. I don't know who the boss behind him is? Do you know?"

After hearing this, Duke Wei's body shivered, and his expression on his face looked a little ugly, but he forced a smile and said, "Go to Your Majesty, I am old and I am not interested in these things, and I don't come here on weekdays."

"What's more, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to look for flowers and ask about willows, and I couldn't come from these places. Of course, I don't know who the boss behind this brothel is."

"Is that true?" Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and said casually: "So that's the case, I shouldn't have asked this question. But it looks really good here. Let's go in and sit down."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao brushed his hand, closed the folding fan, and walked into the building with his hands behind his back.

After seeing these people at the door, the welcome guests hurriedly greeted with a smile.

It is naturally impossible for prostitutes to welcome guests or attract customers in such places. Those are the ones that are low-end; high-end places never do these things.

After walking in, women came to welcome you. They were not here to accompany you, but to welcome guests.

Unlike greeting guests at the door, they mainly arrange some things, which are not as good as the madam in terms of status, but they are engaged in similar tasks, such as arranging wine shops, private rooms and girls.

If all brothels rely on the madam to do this alone, she would be exhausted to death.

These women who welcome guests are a little older and have not been good at it. They probably have to retire in brothels. They usually do some such work and teach new women in private.

You should know that in a high-end place like the Ming Dynasty, you can't survive by sleeping with others. The girls here must look good, know how to chat, know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, understand poetry, songs, and talk to you normally.

It can be said that this is a high-end club, and none of the girls here are ordinary people. Just like those high-end places in later generations, the girls there are good-looking, knowledgeable, and even education.

This kind of thing is left over from the ancestors. It is difficult for many girls to meet even if you want to meet them. This is not a matter of whether it is money or not. The more you do this, the more people praise it.

Even a noble or a high-ranking official will not do anything messy. If you really want this woman, you will usually spend money and redeem people at a high price, which is also a matter of elegant.

Zhu Youxiao and the others were a woman in her thirties with a bright smile on her face. She directly greeted Zhu Youxiao with a smile and said, "This young man looks like an outstanding person, I wonder if there is any girl he is familiar with?"

"This is not the first time I've been here." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The place is good. If the girl is good, then stay."

"Okay, don't worry, my son, the girl here must satisfy my son." The woman said with a smile: "I wonder what kind of son I like? Are there any requirements?"

Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at her and said, "I want the best one, I want the courtesan here. Also, I book a single room with Tianzi No. 2 for me. It's too messy below. I don't like this kind of place."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and opened the folding fan.

Wei Chao, who was beside Zhu Youxiao, took a step forward, pulled out a ticket from his sleeve, put it into the woman's hand with a smile, and then retreated directly to the side.

The woman's smile became even brighter. After getting the bill, she touched a few places with her hands, and then smiled and put them inside her sleeves.

She doesn't have to look at it. This size must be a silver note of one hundred taels. Judging from this texture, it is 100% of the bills of Royal Bank.

This young man is really generous, he only takes one hundred taels of action.

You know, this has done nothing.

The woman's smile suddenly became even brighter and she hurriedly said, "Young Master, wait a moment, the person will come soon."

She turned around and greeted, "The distinguished guest is here, and the room No. 2 of Tianzi is ready."
