Chapter 109: Sitting across from each other
Qian Qianyi's eyes opened. In Jiangnan, the brothels were elegant and elegant, and all the literati and poets arrived.
As a newcomer to the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi, who already has a certain status in the literary world, is naturally a master, but when he heard the seven-year-old Zhu Xu's words, he felt a little uneasy.
Zhu Xu swayed in the carriage, looking at the future leader of Donglin and literary giant, squinted his eyes and said, "Mr. Qian, what are you good at in the capital?"
Qian Qianyi was worried, but he was extremely calm on the surface. He showed a smile on his fat face and said, "The officials have always been clean."
Zhu Xu nodded secretly. Qian Qianyi was indeed not simple. This sentence sounded very clear, but it was still ambiguous, which meant that he didn't say anything.
He was going to cheat this person today, so he took out a fan, slowly fanned himself, leaning against the wing and sleeping.
Qian Qianyi is also a deep-minded person. Although he doesn’t know what Zhu Xu has, he has already responded to it and responded to everything he changes!
The carriage swayed and soon arrived in front of Cuifang Tower.
"Your Highness, you are here." Cao Wenzhao stopped the carriage and said at the window.
Zhu Xu suddenly felt energetic, sat upright and looked at Qian Qianyi and said, "Sir Qian, let's go, I will take you to appreciate the glory of the capital."
Qian Qianyi bowed quietly and followed Zhu Xu off the carriage.
As soon as he got off the carriage, a young woman dressed in a pretty charming manner and looked cold. She looked like she was in her early twenties and walked over quickly, bowed and said, "I have seen Your Highness."
Zhu Xu looked at her and nodded with a smile.
This is the maid who used by Keshi to harm Queen Zhang and was captured by Zhu Xu and instead used it to deal with Keshi!
Ai'er glanced at the person Zhu Xu brought, walked up to him and whispered: "Your Highness, you are all ready."
Zhu Xu didn't like the strong smell of rouge on her body, and her calm head turned to look at Qian Qianyi with a smile and said, "Sir Qian, let's go in and have a closer chat."
Qian Qianyi bowed slightly, so naturally he didn't dare to leave first.
Zhu Xu led a group of people to a private room under the leadership of Ai Er.
After Zhu Xu and Qian Qianyi sat down, Ai Er opened the window on Zhu Xu's left and said, "Your Highness, I will prepare some food for you."
Zhu Xu waved his hand, looked up at the window, and looked at the opposite side. There was also a private room opposite, which was empty, but the wine glasses and food were neatly arranged.
Qian Qianyi sat down, adhering to the principle of not saying or doing, sitting straight, elegant and graceful.
Cao Wenzhao and Cao Huachun were also confused, thinking that it should be the beloved son arranged by His Highness Hui through Yao Qingqing, but they didn't know what was going on.
Not long after, tea and snacks were served on Zhu Xu's table, and he picked them up, and while eating, he looked at the empty opposite with interest.
"Oh, Mr. Guan, you're not here. I miss you for a long time."
Suddenly, in the corridor opposite, a couple hugged each other, and walked over while flirting.
The young master was dressed in exquisite silk, looking rich and prosperous, and smiled with a humble face, "I miss you too, but today I am here to have a spring night with Miss Liuxu. You are not allowed to be jealous."
"Hate!" The pretty woman angrily beat the man, stuffed a piece of silver into his arms, and smiled like a charming smile. "Here, this is the room where Sister Liu plays the piano. The official can go in and take a look first."
The official was overjoyed and entered the room and said, "Okay, that young master is waiting for Miss Liu here."
The pretty girl said a few words of coquettishness, but turned around and walked out.
The official looked around the room. It was just a room that was playing the piano, not a boudoir, but he was still very happy. He sat down in front of the table and waited for a while. Suddenly he glanced around, took out a pack of paper from his arms, took off the tea cover opposite and poured it in. Then he shook it before retracting his hand, stood up and pretended to be nothing, continuing to wander in the room.
Qian Qianyi looked at the official and frowned slightly. He knew the vulgar methods of these wealthy young men, but he naturally sneered or disliked him as a conceited and elegant man.
He turned his head and looked at Zhu Xu, pretended not to see it and picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
Zhu Xu always smiled, looked at the opposite side, then picked up the melon seeds on the table and slowly knocked them.
Not long after, Ai'er accompanied a more majestic young man with a proud look on his face, and she said anxiously: "Oh, my Mr. Zhao, Miss Liuxu hasn't really been washed yet. After washing, she will definitely come out. Can you see anyone else without seeing you?"
The young master Zhao waved his hand and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, you go, I'll go to the piano room and wait." As he said that, he walked forward with great strides. It was obviously an old customer, familiar with the journey.
The official in the room also heard it, walked out in anger, looked at Ai'er and said, "Auntie, I came first today. I don't care who he is. Miss Liuxu is mine tonight!"
Mr. Zhao glanced at Mr. Guan, sneered, and went straight into the piano room.
Just as the official was about to get angry, Ai'er hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Young Master, don't be angry, listen to me, listen to me."
As Aier said that, she pulled the official to the door and started whispering.
Mr. Zhao glanced at him, sneered disdainfully, and sat down opposite the original official.
He looked around, listened to the sound outside, took out a small bag of paper from his arms and poured it into the teacup opposite him.
"Is it great if his grandfather is the Minister of Personnel? My father is also the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. My mentor is the auxiliary minister of the cabinet. I am afraid of him!"
The official yelled outside, pushed the door and rushed in again, pointing at Mr. Zhao and said angrily: "Mr. Zhao, I don't care who your grandfather is. Miss Liuxu is mine tonight, so you can leave quickly!"
Mr. Zhao sneered, without even raising his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
When the furious official saw this, a strange smile appeared on his face. Instead, he sat down calmly across from him, picked up the teacup, and blew the water: "Brother Zhao, it seems that you can't let me do it if you don't want me today."
Mr. Zhao looked at him picking up the teacup, and a similar smile appeared on his face, saying, "Hehe, brother Guan, you are polite, I'm afraid you'll have to let you go."
After drinking, the two put down the teacup, looked at each other and smiled, both of them looked strange and proud, and they were not talking, as if they were waiting for something.
Qian Qianyi, on the opposite side, looked at the two of them. As a Confucian scholar, his face looked very bad. At the same time, from the conversation between them, he also heard their identities.
Mr. Zhao should be a grandson of Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Personnel. The prince should be the son of the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and Guan Yingzhen.
He frowned and looked up at Zhu Xu, with a look of confusion on his fat face.
Zhao Nanxing was one of the three gentlemen of the Donglin Party and the only remaining veteran, while Guan Yingzhen was one of the leaders of the Chu Party.
The emergence of the Donglin Party was itself due to the party struggles in the court during the Wanli period. Therefore, Zhao Nanxing hated the Chu Party deeply and had always wanted to drive the Chu Party out of the court since his comeback.
The relationship between the two or the two parties was bad, and they fought to the death for many years.
Qian Qianyi was very confused and speculated about what the purpose of Zhu Xu bringing him here?
At this moment, the two people who were originally confronting each other and smiling with a sinister face twitched and foamed at the mouth and turned to the table.
