Although it was not completely dark, people had already gathered, and the noise was overwhelming, and men, women, and children, came one after another, and there was an endless stream.
Cao Huachun was wearing regular clothes, followed Zhu Xu's side, his eyes wandered around, his expression was quite sighing, and he leaned over and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear, "Childe, this Yang.
The state is a little more prosperous than the capital, and the customs and customs are also very different. ” Zhu Xu learned from the staggered scholars and celebrities, shaking a fan in his hand, quite, and said with a smile: "Well, indeed." ” The capital is in the north, and the north has not stopped for many years, and the northerners are quite 'martial' and have the atmosphere of 'slaughter'.
For more than 200 years, the southern Chengping has a flourishing literary style, which is naturally full of feelings and rare perseverance.
That is to say, 'riding a horse in the north and taking a boat in the south', in short, one is hard and the other is soft.
Zhu Xu said a word, still pacing, his eyes were far and near.
Although this little Qinhuai is only a short four miles, the shops that can eat, wear, live and travel, plus the constantly appearing 'famous prostitute buildings', teaching fields, song workshops, and painting boats, have pushed this small river to the peak of prosperity.
"Hey, which one is this?"
Zhu Xu suddenly stopped, looked at the row of courtyards in front of him and said in surprise.
This row of courtyards is amazing, the appearance is the same, endless, it is estimated that there will be dozens of rooms, and the courtyards behind are also by the mountains and rivers, one after another, I am afraid that it covers an area of more than a thousand acres!
This little Qin Huai is really every inch of land, ordinary people can buy a small building and be considered rich, this family can actually win so much, it must not be an ordinary person!
Cao Huachun did not investigate clearly last time.
The State Academy, this time it was extra careful, and it was checked out early, and when he heard the words, he said: "Hui Gongzi, this is the Kang family, Shan.
Westerners, salt merchants, have a huge wealth, in Yang.
The state is extremely famous, there are thousands of warehouses, and there are 100,000 stones of grain alone!
It is known as 'Kang Million'. ” Zhu Xu was surprised and said, "One hundred thousand stones......
Such a big family is in Yang.
Are there many states?
” Cao Huachun looked up and said, "There are seven or eight on this river. ” Zhu Xu opened his eyes, immediately smiled, and didn't say anything.
At any given time, there will always be people who are rich and those who are poor who will starve to death.
Zhu Xu glanced at the Kang family's courtyard again and continued to walk forward.
Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's side face, and said with a slight movement in his heart, "This Kang family is arrogant and arrogant, so it is crazy to talk."
The year before the mountain.
There was a great drought in the west, and the people in the county were struggling to starve, and the people were panicking.
The Kang family is the most calm, and there is a saying: 'There is an old sky above, and there are millions of Kang below; It hasn't rained for three years, and there are 10,000 stones of old grain!
’” The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth curled slightly, and he waved his hand and said: "Whether it's hiding dirt and dirt, or hiding pearls and burying jade, I hope that this place will be prosperous." ” This is his money bag, and nothing can happen now, as for killing chickens and eggs, it is a fool's doing!
As for the rest, he already had it in mind.
Cao Huachun didn't say much, now that the salt merchants are making such a fuss, this Kang family probably can't escape, but he can't figure out what the emperor's mind is.
Zhu Xu and others came to the largest green building on the shore of Xiaoqinhuai, which was called: Yingxiufang.
This workshop is connected to the river embankment, and there are seven or eight flower boats floating on the river embankment, which are brightly lit and exquisite, waiting for the destined people.
Zhu Xu glanced at it and walked directly into this Yingxiu Fang.
In the eye is a huge dance place similar to the square, seven or eight young women are dancing, the sultry sound of silk and bamboo is in the ears, the table on three sides are sitting in front of the literati, shaking their heads, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the women on the side are slightly exposed, the fragrant shoulders and beautiful legs are looming, adding a sense of smoke.
Qinglou Zhu Xu has also been there a few times, but I always feel that this place is more stylish and less 'lewd' than the 'play' in the capital.
He stood there, looking carefully, most of the women smelled very dusty, only a few occasionally had the demeanor of a 'famous prostitute', bookish, elegant temperament, and did not show his breasts, nor did he bow his head and smile, but the men around him tried their best to flatter, saying some meaty words that they would never hear during the day.
These men have been thirteen or fourteen years old, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, and even an old man in his old age, holding two girls in his arms, up and down his *** obscenities, without shying away, he really doesn't want any face.
"It's really like a waste paper ......"
Zhu Xu said silently, how much of a storm the 'Nine Rules' set off at the beginning, but it seems that it has left the capital, and other places have no effect.
How should it still be, as if the new policy of the imperial court is far away in the sky and will never come here - just like the reform of the imperial court in the past hundred years, including Zhang Juzheng's reform!
"Childe is also here for Miss Li?"
Suddenly, a woman with a pink face and a fat face, about forty years old, walked over, looked at Zhu Xu with a greasy face, and said with a smile.
Zhu Xu's mind turned, and he said with a smile, "Naturally."
In fact, he didn't even know who this Li girl was.
The woman was immediately overjoyed and said, "Son, please come with me, Miss Li is having a banquet, and there is a shortage of one, so you can come with me." ” As he spoke, he came to pull Zhu Xu's hand, Zhu Xu smiled and said nothing, and cleverly dodged it.
The woman became more and more happy, and said: "When I see Gongzi, he is not an ordinary person, our Miss Li is also a fairy, she will never disappoint Gongzi, and those here are not ordinary people, Gongzi rest assured, I will never insult your identity......"
The folding fan in Zhu Xu's hand was behind his back, his eyes moved slightly, what this old bustard said was really beautiful, and he would feel panicked if he didn't pay the silver later.

The woman led Zhu Xu up the second floor from the side stairs, and soon came to a private room, which seemed to be a woman's hospitality, with smoke curling and sandalwood overflowing, accompanied by laughter and laughter.
"Master Fang, Lord Liu, I found you a ......"
The woman pushed open the door and laughed loudly.
Zhu Xu stood at the door, looked up, and saw three people sitting inside.
A woman in white, veiled, slender, temperamental, on the left is a young man of about twenty, fair-skinned, starry-eyed, really chic and handsome, he is opposite an old man of half a hundred, ruddy complexion, bright eyes, straight waist, quite majestic.
'The veiled one should be that Miss Li......
Zhu Xu glanced at it, and his eyes fell on the young man and the half-hundred old man, both of whom should be in his 'Nine Articles'.
Miss Li leaned over slightly and said softly, "There is Mother Lao."
Then he looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Childe, please." ” Zhu Xu waved his hand at Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao waved his hand, stepped in, and raised his hand; "I've seen Miss Li in Xia Zhu."
The masked girl Li was stunned, "Have wine?"
” The boy and the old man are also stunned, and there is such a vulgar name?
There may be many people in Daming who are illiterate and can't read, but the official name will not be ordinary, that is a lifetime thing, and the father's name is to spend money to send things to find a learned person to ask for advice.
Zhu Xu looked at the eyes of several people, and said with a smile indifferently, "Let you laugh, since I was a poor family, my father only wanted to have meat and wine, and he had no worries about food and clothing, so he named our brother Youmeat and Wine." ” That Miss Li was quite reasonable, and said with a smile: "Zhu Gongzi, please take a seat, the word wine is quite meaningful, it is not vulgar, there is no need to mind." ” Zhu Xu raised his hand, stepped forward, and sat down opposite Miss Li.
The woman had quietly withdrawn and closed the door with a smile on her face.
Miss Li poured a cup of tea and gave it to Zhu Xu with both hands.
Zhu Xu hurriedly raised his buttocks, took it with both hands, and said, "There is Miss Lao." ” Miss Li smiled in her eyes, sat back immediately, and said to Zhu Xu: "Just now Lord Liu said a rather novel game, which requires the cooperation of four people, I wonder if Zhu Gongzi is willing?"
” Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The girl might as well talk about it." ” Lord Liu, whose face was ruddy and his eyes were flashing with a strange luster, looked at Zhu Xu and said loudly: "Actually, it's very simple, it's the three of us who write poems, and Miss Li makes peace with the piano, if any of the three of us can't take it, five taels of silver will be punished, four taels will go to the other two, one or two will go to Miss Li, if Miss Li's piano can't be reconciled, the one with the most times......
It's Miss Li's boudoir, tonight's guest of the scene!
” Lord Liu's voice fell, and although Miss Li was veiled, she still saw a touch of crimson and bowed her head slightly, very shy.
Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he unconsciously touched his chin.
These people are here to find the wrongdoer, right?
Coincidentally, he's more like?
