"Ah, it turns out to be Fan Su, the most expensive singer in Fule Yuan!" You Dandy exclaimed. Someone immediately laughed and said: "His Royal Highness King Wu is also a member of my generation! He actually invited Fan Su. After having enough wine and food, it is really the ultimate happiness in the world to listen to this haunting sound again!"
"My fifth uncle's Linjiang Immortal has long attracted the attention of the Qinhuai River girls Shi Xinjing, so what's so strange about inviting Fan Su?" Li Jinglong joked, "When you listen to this song, isn't it my fifth uncle's Linjiang Immortal? Fan Su sings this Linjiang Immortal's song with such sadness, I'm afraid he already has a deep love for our King Wu!"
All the dandies laughed. Liao Quan, who had a round belly after eating, stood up and interjected: "I don't know Fan Su, but this girl sang His Highness's lyrics so softly that it was boring!"
"I'm very tired of listening to it. Why don't you invite Lao Zhangtou from Fule Yuan to tell you a few stories about the joy of the Three Kingdoms!"
"It's a pity that Lao Zhangtou only told it a few times, saying that he heard it occasionally and he didn't know the rest of the story. I listened to it dozens of times and felt very scratched in my heart, and I didn't know what Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei were. What happened after the rendezvous?"
Lao Zhangtou is the storyteller of the Three Kingdoms in Fule Yuan. After accidentally hearing Zhu Su's story about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Fule Yuan, the old storyteller was so shocked that he actually memorized the Romance of the Three Kingdoms based on his memories. His lecture in Fule Yuan immediately became a sensation. For a time, he became the leading storyteller in Yingtian Mansion.
It's a pity that he only heard about the first twenty-eight episodes of the Three Kingdoms. The young gentleman in the private room didn't mention the following episodes, and he didn't want to add the Mandarin version of the Three Kingdoms to it in such an anticlimactic manner. As a result, Yingtianfu rich man and many other people who frequented Fule Yuan could only hear the previous content. I am looking forward to the story that follows.
When it comes to "Three Kingdoms", all the dandies sigh. They were originally noble generals, and in the future most of them wanted their sons to inherit their father's legacy and fight on the battlefield. This "Three Kingdoms" is the most suitable for their appetite. While they were talking, there was only a pause in the music, and an old man came onto the small stage from behind. Liao Quan had sharp eyes and was surprised when he saw it: "Hey, isn't that Lao Zhangtou?"
"His Royal Highness King Wu actually invited Lao Zhangtou here? That's great. I was just about to listen to the Three Kingdoms again!"
The Three Kingdoms were popular in Yingtian Mansion, and there was no one in the whole restaurant who had not heard of the Three Kingdoms. Seeing Lao Zhangtou appear, Judu was all attentive and ready to listen to another round of the passionate story of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan. But I didn't expect that the old Zhang bowed his head and said something other than the already familiar saying: "The major events in the world will be reunited if they are separated for a long time, and they will be divided if they are combined for a long time."
What it said was, "The last letter said that Guan Yunchang finally reunited with brothers Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. When Yuan Shao saw Liu Bei not returning, he became furious..."
"Ah! It turns out to be the story behind it!" Liao Quan was extremely surprised, and all the distinguished disciples and merchants were also surprised.
Zhu Su silently observed the movements of everyone in the building in the private room. Seeing that everyone's reactions were exactly as he expected, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with pride.
There are delicious food, and the most popular opera drama of the Three Kingdoms and the story of the Three Kingdoms has also been compiled by a troupe. Nowadays, there is a lack of entertainment. Once the cement road connecting the city gate is built, these three weapons will be enough to make this place the best place for entertainment for the rich and powerful in the Ming Dynasty.
Wherever people gather, there are business opportunities, and double-storey shops for commercial and residential use are also under construction in the surrounding area. Zhu Su received a report that some discerning businessmen were interested in the exquisite shops under construction on the street. Renting out these shops would not only make the place more prosperous, but also provide another stable income.
While he was imagining the wonderful days in the future when he would not have to worry about money, Xiang Deng pushed the door open with one person. It was the dog who was supposed to stay in the house. Seeing Zhu Su's confused look, Gou'er said: "Your Highness, the Marquis of Ji'an has been waiting for you in the mansion for a long time."
"Marquis of Ji'an Lu Zhongheng?" Zhu Laowu frowned, a little surprised. "What's he doing here looking for me?"
Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, was a general whom Lao Zhu relied heavily on. Lao Zhu once pointed out that Lu Zhongheng said to the generals: "This is my heart and soul when I first rose up." From then on, Lu Zhongheng regarded himself as Lao Zhu's favorite general. Behaving more and more domineeringly.
In the third year of Hongwu, when Lu Zhongheng returned to Beijing from Shaanxi, he took a post train back to Beijing over the limit. When Lao Zhu learned about it, he was furious and scolded: "The Central Plains has recovered from the war, and it will be very difficult for the post households to buy and raise horses for the imperial court. If the imperial court If everyone misuses public tools like you, the people will not be able to provide for themselves even if they sell their sons and daughters!"
So his title was taken away and he was demoted to Dai County to do such trivial work as catching thieves.
Lu Zhongheng followed Lao Zhu when he was a boy, and Lao Zhu originally raised him as his adopted son. These words were more like a sincere instruction to the adopted son than a scolding.
Sure enough, only a year later, Lao Zhu brought Lu Zhongheng back from Dai County and restored his title to him, even more favoring him than before. The people in the government and the public knew that Marquis Long of Ji'an was favored, and they dared not underestimate him.
Speaking of which, Lu Zhongheng was also a member of the old Zhu family, so Zhu Su could not ignore him. He and Xiangdeng Gouer quietly left the restaurant and returned home. Turning around the screen wall, they saw a middle-aged man and an entourage who had come with him in the hall.
Seeing Zhu Su, who was dressed in casual clothes but couldn't hide his nobility, accompanied by two chamberlains, the man laughed exaggeratedly and said, "Xiao Wu'er has grown a lot after not seeing each other for many years! But I still remember my old brother. Me?"
The corner of Zhu Su's mouth twitched calmly. This Marquis of Ji'an, who had no contact with him on weekdays, treated himself as his elder brother when they met. If it was just a sworn brother like Mu Ying and Li Wenzhong who had always been close to each other, Zhu Su felt a little uncomfortable.
But superficial work still needs to be done. As a prince, you must not disrespect the prince at will. Otherwise, even if Lao Zhu has great trust in him now, the officials will definitely not be able to avoid impeachment.
"Hahahaha, of course I remember my brother. I heard that the rice wine in Dai County is excellent. Is my brother drunk enough in Dai County?" Hiding the dissatisfaction in his heart, Zhu Suxiao's directness was like a spring breeze.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that Xiao Wu'er is so young that he can enjoy this cup of rice wine. How difficult is it to want rice wine? Brother, when I was hunting down theft in Dai County, I conveniently bought all the wineries in the county. How much do I want? Xiao Wu, the rice wine maker, will move it to my house!" Lu Zhongheng waved his big hand in an extremely angry manner.
In less than a year after going to Dai County, you ended up selling the local wine industry? It seemed that Lao Zhu didn't hear the scolding in his heart at all when he berated him. This Marquis of Ji'an has highlighted his stubbornness.
The two people, who each had their own secrets, exchanged a few warm greetings, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while. After finishing the cup of tea, Zhu Sufang got straight to the point: "Brother is here to find me, but what's your purpose?"
"It's just a brief talk about brotherhood, what's the point!" Lu Zhongheng laughed. The conversation changed and he continued: "But it's still a little noisy here, but is there any secluded place? You and I can have a good time reminiscing about the past."
Zhu Su understood and led Lu Zhongheng straight into the study room in the back house. What surprised him was that Lu Zhongheng's long follower had no intention of shying away. He just lowered his head and followed Zhu Su and Lu Zhongheng. Zhu Su felt slightly strange in his heart, but seeing that Lu Zhongheng's expression was the same, he didn't stop him.
"No one is allowed to come near this place without my permission. If my brother has any orders, it doesn't matter." Zhu Su closed the door of the study room and immediately blocked out the chirping of birds and insects outside. Fang turned around and said to Lu Zhongheng.
"No instructions. There's just one person who wants to introduce me to Xiao Wu'er." Lu Zhongheng said with a smile. The man behind him with his head lowered immediately raised his head, revealing a pair of slender and slightly cunning eyes. "His Royal Highness King Wu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Are you okay?"
"Who are you?" Zhu Su narrowed his eyes, and it took him a while to remember that this person was the one who stood first among the civil servants at the meeting the day before yesterday.
"It's you, Hu Xiangguo!"
