Chapter 32 Cultural Exchange Activities
Regardless of the darkness, Zhao Xu and others changed into casual clothes and left the palace.
Zhao Xu didn't need to deliberately hide anyone now. The palace was unobstructed and went straight to Xuande Gate.
Chu You also wore a casual outfit and followed Zhao Xu, saying, "The official family has been arranged, with more than 100 people."
Zhao Xu was a little surprised and said, "Do you have to use so many people?"
Chu You seemed to be choking. Don’t you know the current situation? Then he said: “Be prepared for any trouble.”
Zhao Xu laughed and said, "Okay."
After walking a few steps, Chu You whispered again: "The villain has already looked for some trustworthy ones into the palace. Now, the villain is always a little uneasy in the palace."
This time, Zhao Xu nodded slightly and said, "Well, do it more carefully."
Chu You responded and didn't say anything more.
Now, it was Chenpi's turn to stop it and said, "Official family, what are we going to do when we leave the palace?"
Zhao Xu walked with a smile on his face and said, "Look for someone. Go and find Meng Tang, I want to see him."
Meng Tang? The future brother-in-law of the official family?
Meng Yuan, Meng Meiren, Meng Tang, this relationship is a bit complicated.
Chenpi was a little puzzled and said, "Officials, what are you looking for him to do?"
Zhao Xu had a folding fan in his hand, which seemed a little early in the early summer. He opened it with a bang, slap it and slapped himself, saying, "I'll know later, let's go and find it."
Chenpi had no choice but to respond and quickly ordered someone to go out of the palace to inquire.
Zhao Xu had just walked past Daqing Gate when a scream suddenly came from behind: "Official family, official family, wait for me..."
Zhao Xu and the other two turned their heads and saw Zhao Ji running fast and heading straight for them.
Zhao Ji ran to Zhao Xu and the other two, raised his head and said righteously: "Official family, I want to go out of the palace to play!"
Zhao Xu was in a good mood today, and looked at him and smiled: "It's going to be dark. You have classes tomorrow. Go back to bed and take you out to play next time."
Zhao Ji said very decisively: "No, just this time."
Zhao Xu said with a blank expression: "Did you want me to beat you before you go back?"
Zhao Ji stared at Zhao Xu with wide eyes wide open, and suddenly turned around for a moment, sticking out his butt and said, "Phone, take me out of the palace after the fight."
Chen Pi's mouth twitched. What was the eleventh prince's mind thinking?
Chu You knew better about the temperament of His Highness and his face was as normal.
Seeing Zhao Ji's appearance, Zhao Xu was so angry that he was about to take off his shoes. Chenpi hurriedly stopped him and whispered: "The official family is about to arrive at Xuande Gate."
No matter how you fight in Funing Hall, it is all about the government’s younger brothers. It is not appropriate to fight in Xuande Gate where people come and go.
Zhao Xu kicked Zhao Ji on the butt and turned around and said, "I'll deal with you when I'm back."
Zhao Ji laughed, jumped back, followed Zhao Xu, and said with his head raised: "Official family, where are we going to play? I heard that the dishes in Fanlou are delicious, the drama in Taojiayuan is good, the wine in Zhuangyuanlou is delicious, and the most fun in Loquat Lane..."
Before Zhao Xu could feel it, he went to the "Loquat Lane" behind him, and Zhao Xu raised his foot and kicked him directly.
Loquat Lane is a famous place of elegance and beauty in Kaifeng City, almost all of which are brothel teahouses.
This little bastard has never learned well since he was a child, no wonder he had the same period with Li Shishi.
Zhao Ji rubbed his butt, and he was completely unaware of anything, and still said excitedly: "Aren't these possible? Then go to Shapi Lane, Qinghefang, Ronghefang, Xinjie, Taipingfang..."
Zhao Xu's face was tense and his heart was filled with anger. All the things this little bastard said were in the land of love and mist!
If it weren't for not being able to fight here, he would have to leave the palace. Today he would have to beat Zhao Ji up!
Zhao Xu took a deep breath, turned to Chenpi with anger and said, "After coming back, remember to remind me to beat this little bastard half to death."
Chen Pi held back her laughter, bowed her head and said, "Yes."
Zhao Ji didn't care at all, and he was still chattering with Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him and stepped out of the palace.
In fact, when he left Funing Hall, the news of his departure from the palace had already reached Cining Hall.
Not long after Zhao Xu left Xuande Gate, someone came to report: Mr. Meng was in Hengwu Building - this was a brothel.
Zhao Xu glanced at Zhao Ji and his anger surged again.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed and shouted to go quickly, and even pulled Zhao Xu to trot.
Zhao Xu kicked him, but could only go to Hengwu Tower.
When they arrived at Hengwu Tower in Qinghefang, Zhao Xu and the other four stood at the door and did not go in immediately.
After all, Zhao Xu was the emperor of the Song Dynasty. If the court knew that he had entered the brothel, it would be a big problem. In history, Zhao Ji and Li Shishi had a secret meeting, which was said to be walking on the secret passage of the palace. Later, it was also a big storm. He was almost drowned by the spitting stars of the foreign court officials.
"Official family, why don't you invite Mr. Meng out?" Chen Pi said hesitantly.
Zhao Xu pondered, after entering, it was equivalent to sending bullets to Empress Dowager Gao, and the outer court also had an excuse to attack.
Zhao Ji's little bastard's eyes shone brightly and he was ready to move, staring at Hengwu's upstairs and looking up.
Without waiting for Zhao Xu to answer, Chen Pi suddenly looked ahead and whispered: "The official family is Liu Shi'an."
Zhao Xu looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a square face and a majestic expression entering Hengwu Tower.
Zhao Xu tilted his head slightly and thought quickly in his heart.
This Liu Shi'an is not a simple person. He is now a left-wing doctor in the Censorate, with a prominent position and is famous in the court for his blunt statement of refusal and is known as the "Tiger in the Palace".
Those who can establish themselves in the court now are all "old party", and his background is very special - he is Sima Guang's disciple!
Sima Guang was the old party leader in Yuanyouchu. He and Empress Dowager Gao led the liquidation of the "New Party" and abolished the reforms. He had a very high status. In the current court, a considerable number of people inherited his Yu Ze.
"I want that colored ball..."
Suddenly, Zhao Ji couldn't help it and rushed towards the gate of Hengwu Tower.
Zhao Xu didn't catch him. Seeing that the little bastard was about to run in, he hurriedly said, "Follow up, don't let Zhao Ji run away."
The three of them followed and entered Hengwu Tower. They saw that the Hengwu Tower was exquisite everywhere, and they could not say they were carved beams and painted buildings, but they were also clever and thoughtful. They sang and danced with orioles upstairs, and their blue shirts and thin silks were coming and going, and the wine was filled with fragrance.
Seeing that Zhao Ji was also looking around strangely, Zhao Xu grabbed his collar and watched Liu Shi'an go up to the second floor, paused and was about to step forward.
As soon as Zhao Xu took a step, a middle-aged woman with thick fat and thick powder came over and said with a flattering smile: "A few guests, do you have any good friends? Our lady is the most talented person!"
At this time, "Miss" is really "Miss", and those who are serious are called "Miss".
Zhao Xu had never been here before, so he waved his hand and signaled Chenpi to come forward to settle it.
Chenpi took out two stagnant coins and said with a plain expression: "The best private room, tea, and fruits and vegetables should be the best. Find a lady who sings the best, and don't bother other idle people to disturb my son."
The madam looked at the full two stale money and was overjoyed. She took it and twisted the bucket waist and turned around, and said, "Okay, please, please be sure you are satisfied. San'er, come and take the four young masters to the best private room..."
A young man, the turtle man ran over immediately and led Zhao Xu and the other two upstairs.
Zhao Ji turned around three or four times and tried to break free from Zhao Xu's hand, but Zhao Xu held it down.
Zhao Xu's eyes followed Liu Shi'an, who had just entered the door not far ahead.
Mr. Gui led Zhao Xu forward enthusiastically, and kept introducing: "This young master, Miss Chen, ours, sang the best. It is difficult to meet each other every time. It is not enough without the usual money..."
Zhao Xu felt a little shocked when he heard the raised his left eyebrows.
You know, even the people in Kaifeng City earn only fifty or sixty cents a day, which is more than one hundred cents. The money is always 1,000 cents. This ordinary person needs to spend at least one month to go to a brothel!
High consumption!
As he was talking, Zhao Xu and others passed by the window of the private room where Liu Shi'an was. When they turned around, they saw Liu Shi'an taking a painting taken out by the man opposite with excitement.
‘It turned out to be a cultural exchange activity…’
Zhao Xu felt a little bit regretful, and thought that this person was here to visit a prostitute.
