Chapter 796: The Great Ming Dynasty Jade
At dusk in Kyoto, the setting sun lingers in the wind, and the sunset burns half of the sky red, burying the capital in boundless red, adding a lot of haziness and poetry to the prosperous imperial capital. .
In midsummer, early morning and dusk are the most popular. The morning is cool, but many people cannot enjoy it due to snoozing and other reasons; the dusk is different. Most of the dreary heat of the day has dissipated. People who have been busy or recreational for a day can enjoy such a comfortable dusk.
The already prosperous imperial capital became even more lively, with busy traffic and pedestrians.
Zui Xian Lou, located in Xicheng District, is one of the most famous restaurants in Beijing. With jade inlays, carved railings and cornices, it looks like it is flying into the clouds. There is a couplet pasted at the door of Zuixian Tower. The first couplet is "King Wen of Zhou visited Taigong and knew how to stop"; the second couplet is "Han Xiao He chased Han Xin and dismounted after hearing the fragrance."
Zuixian Tower has always been a place where literati, warriors and travelers from the capital gathered to drink, chat, and talk.
Still today.
The restaurant was noisy and the seats were packed. There were literati and martial artists sitting at tables, drinking wine and talking loudly.
If you want to be quieter, you can go to the private rooms on the second and third floors. The decoration inside is exquisite, elegant and very comfortable.
At this time, Zhu Pingan, Li Shu, Hua'er, Naughty Child and Little Loli were dining in the private room on the second floor.
The Marquis of Linhuai went out to visit friends in the afternoon, so Zhu Pingan took Li Shu, Hua'er and the others to go boating on the Shicha Sea. After hearing about it, the naughty boy and the little loli girl Niuniu cried and made a fuss and wanted to go too. Zhu Pingan and Li Shu had no choice but to go out when they went out. Take them with you.
Of course Liu Mu and Liu Dadao also followed.
Go boating on Shichahai and wander in the sea of lotus, which is a unique artistic conception.
I spent a whole afternoon fishing and admiring lotuses, and didn’t return until dusk. When I passed by this store, the naughty child was fuming and hungry, smelling the fragrance wafting from the restaurant, and said nothing. After leaving, Zhu Pingan took them into the store for dinner.
Li Shu is so beautiful, and Baozi’s maids Hua’er and Qin’er are also quite beautiful, just like the bright moonlight in the night sky. It’s impossible not to be noticed. Zhu Ping’an leads Li Shu As soon as they entered the store, they attracted a lot of attention.
As soon as people sitting in the lobby noticed Zhu Ping'an and the others entering the store, their eyes were attracted to Li Shu and the others, and they were amazed.
How could there be such stunning beauty in the world? !
Then I noticed Zhu Ping'an next to Li Shu. Looking at the way Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an were whispering, it was obvious that the famous flower had an owner. It was the demeanor of the people around him. As for the one on the side, it was a little less impressive. Hua'er and Qin'er are obviously maids.
What does maid mean in this day and age?
In the eyes of some people, the maids just suppressed the calls. To put it bluntly, the maids are not the male master’s forbidden concubine. They can enjoy it as long as they want. These maids are guaranteed to be happy and actively cooperate, and show off and look up to the aunt. Yes, this is the dream of most maids.
All the good cabbages were eaten by the pigs. There were still three cabbages in one cup, all of which were juicy cabbages.
As a result, everyone sitting in the lobby began to envy and hate Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Pingan has an ordinary appearance, a simple and honest face, and is not handsome at all, which makes people even more envious and jealous.
If it weren’t for Zhu Ping’an, who was obviously dressed like a wealthy family, and Liu Mu and Liu Dadao who were obviously very skilled behind him.
They are not just sitting at the table with envy, jealousy and hatred.
Li Shu Hua'er and the others disliked the lobby, and Zhu Pingan didn't like the look in the lobby's eyes, so he gave the waiter a piece of silver and asked the waiter to arrange a private room on the second floor.
Liu Mu and Liu Dadao wanted to stay in the lobby. Zhu Pingan also knew that they would not feel comfortable if they went to the private room. Instead, they would be more comfortable eating in the lobby, so he ordered something for them. Table food, let them stay in the lobby.
The elegant room on the second floor has a good environment and is elegantly and exquisitely decorated. It is like a study and a boudoir, combining elegance, elegance and comfort.
A table of food and a pot of tea.
During the meal, the conversation downstairs was also faintly heard.
"Master Yan is truly worthy of being a minister of the Zhu Kingdom. He was ordered to investigate the theft of the Taicang Bank and uncovered more than a hundred people who were corrupted by the country. In just two days, he generated more than 700,000 yuan of silver and more than 200 gold for our Ming Dynasty treasury. Ten thousand taels..."
"The great Ming jade..."
"Hey, did you hear about it yesterday! In the morning, the Jin Yiwei found more than 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold from the house of the former treasury minister in Taicang. When pulling the gold and silver, a horse was exhausted..."
"Haha, It's not surprising that so much money was found from his house. No one knows how greedy that person is. To me, the most shocking thing is Wang. Yushi, tsk tsk. Before yesterday, anyone who mentioned Wang Yushi would give a thumbs up. This is a famous upright official in the Ming Dynasty. He has been an official in the capital for ten years, but he still lives in a rented house. His daughter is still crowded with them when she is ten years old. There is only one house... There is no other way, let alone buying a house. This Wang Yushi can't even afford to rent a big house. I heard that people from Dongchang searched the house. At that time, Wang Yushi was drinking porridge with his wife and children eating rotten vegetable leaves. But they never expected that the people from Dongchang found 18,543 taels in Wang Yushi's shabby house. The money is all buried in the yard."
"I heard that two officials in Taicang committed suicide out of fear of crime."
After listening to the people downstairs talking so loudly, Baozi's little maid Hua'er could tie a bottle of oil on her pouted mouth, and she became indignant: "Why? It's obviously a case that was discovered by my uncle. There is a deficit in the account book." , My uncle has already found out the problem, so Yan Song just reached out to pick a ripe peach, why should he take advantage of it?"
"Yes, I feel sorry for my uncle." Qin'er nodded. .
“Humph, they are just bullying people. My uncle, it was so hard the past few days. He got up early and stayed up late. He couldn’t eat well and sleep well. He just ate cakes in one day. It took a lot of effort to check the treasury deficit. Chaotian, they got something for nothing and just picked peaches with their hands, which makes me angry just thinking about it." Baozi's little maid Hua'er's face was bulging with anger.
After Hua'er finished speaking, he heard another discussion downstairs. After hearing this sentence, his frowning eyebrows started to light up, "It turns out there are still people who understand."
"If you ask me to tell you about the inspector who discovered Taicang's deficit a few days ago, Zhu Ping'an, Mr. Zhu, was the biggest contributor. If Mr. Zhu had not been afraid of power, took off his clothes to prove his innocence, and insisted on investigating Taicang, how could such a huge Taicang theft case be exposed in broad daylight. .”
The discussion downstairs spread to the private room on the second floor, making the little maid Baozi's eyebrows dance.
However, the little maid Baozi soon puffed up her face and pouted her mouth again, because similar arguments were quickly drowned out by the overwhelming voices praising Yan Song. (End of this chapter)
