Chapter 670
Under the willows by the river, the two walked side by side, with Xu Sheng, Wu Zhong and his maid Qiu Yue falling behind them.
Zhu Cilang glanced at Yu Chen from time to time and saw her snow-white melon-shaped face, like carved from white jade with mutton fat, white and delicate, with bright eyes, giving people a very pure feeling.
Walking with the beauty, Zhu Cilang seemed to have a spring breeze along the way, refreshing the heart and rippling the mind.
Although Zhu Cilang is not a pig, as a normal man, especially at this age, when he encounters such a top beauty, he will inevitably feel excited...
The two were very close at this time. Her skin was as delicate as snow porcelain, and the faint fragrance came to her nose. Zhu Cilang wished she could hold her tightly in her arms and pity her love.
Yu Chen was extremely sensitive to the man's gaze. When he saw Zhu Cilang looking at him, his jade face turned red and his eyebrows were furrowed.
She grabbed a few willow leaves beside her, threw them hard at Zhu Cixuan, opened her mouth slightly, and shouted: "What are you looking at random?"
A faint fragrance drifted into his nose. Zhu Cilang took two steps forward, looked at her extremely graceful figure, and praised with a smile: "Brother Yu's appearance is so beautiful, which makes Brother Yu intoxicated!"
At this time, Zhu Cilang's thick-skinned face was enough to make people sigh that he could not get into it, so he would not be embarrassed.
If another man praised his beauty like this, Yu Chen would immediately turn his back and leave.
It’s just that I used to disguise myself as a man and used my real name to deceive Mr. Zhu first. It’s a pity that I really don’t have the face to blame him...
Even when he heard his praise, Xu Chenyun felt sweet. After all, women always like to hear sweet words...
Xu Chenyun glanced at him and said, "Actually 'Yu Chen' is just my pen name, my real name is Xu Chenyun..."
Zhu Cilang can pick up girls regardless of etiquette, but he cannot ignore the other party being a woman. It is gossiping in public. He smiled slightly, moved his feet slightly, gently retreated two feet, smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and smiled: "Hua Chenyuexi, all living beings, beautiful and grand, what a good name!"
Originally, Xu Chenyun deliberately had a cold face, like an iceberg beauty. When she saw Mr. Zhu taking the initiative to respect him, she praised him like this, and immediately smiled.
This smile suddenly became like the clear snow clearing, making the sky and the earth suddenly brighter, making people dazzling.
Zhu Cilang noticed that under Xu Chenyun's snow-white neck was filled with a soft light. Looking faintly, she actually had a necklace made of dozens of thumb-like pearls.
He couldn't help but praise: "Miss a rich lady!"
Xu Chenyun couldn't help but smile: "My family is engaged in ocean-going sea trade, and this kind of bead is very common..."
Zhu Cilang nodded slightly. Pearls were not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty. As early as the 16th year of Yongle, the king of Sulu (Philippines) who came to the Ming Dynasty to worship, once presented a huge pearl weighing 7 taels and 5 cents by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. It is known in history that "no one can have it in a rare ancient country."
During the Ming Dynasty, the court and the people even paid far more attention to pearls than gold.
In the fourth year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty rewarded the King of Shu with 192 taels of pearls.
During the Longqing period, the court ordered Yunnan to pay tribute to 20,000 gems and Guangdong to collect 8,000 taels of pearls for use by the palace.
During the Wanli period, the total weight of various pearls used by Emperor Wanli during his wedding, which was listed by the Ministry of Revenue, reached 80,000 taels! In comparison, the gold used was only 2,800 taels.
In addition to being inlaid on clothing crowns and caps, pearls presented to the court are also used in diet. Pearl powder has always been a beautiful beauty product that is loved by women.
In order to pursue the failure of corpses after death, some royal relatives and nobles were buried with big pearls in their arms...
Due to blindly following the royal family, the people's obsession with pearls has reached a certain level and is even a little distorted.
Among the people, "There are hundreds of people who sell pearls. The rich are proud of many pearls, and the poor are ashamed of not having pearls. Even if there is gold, it is better to say that beads are not as good as beads."
The group was strolling by the river, and suddenly a rabbit rushed past his eyes. The reserved Xu Chenyun instantly showed the girl's character and chased her directly.
Zhu Cilang followed closely behind.
Xu Sheng also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wu Zhong: "We'd better not join in the fun."
Seeing him blinking constantly, Xu Sheng immediately understood that he would pick up girls with the emperor, so he naturally wanted to create a good opportunity for the emperor...
Xu Chenyun's maid Qiuyue was also very tactful and did not follow the past.
In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared.
As the two chased after the rabbit disappeared, Xu Chenyun looked disappointed.
Zhu Cilang raised his eyes and looked around and chanted softly: "The birthday of a hundred flowers is a good day. Before the flowers are half spring, the flowers are covered with colorful flowers, and the flowers are still decorated with flowers."
There was a sea of flowers around, and a group of people gathered there to worship the flower god and pray for blessings. A gust of spring breeze blows by, stirring up red and white flowers rain, which is very intoxicating.
The falling flowers are flying all over the sky, Xu Chenyun is in a good mood and can't help but praise: "Young Master Zhu is a good poem!"
Zhu Cilang secretly glanced at Xu Chenyun, and saw that she was looking at her obsessively, a trace of sweetness suddenly appeared in her heart.
Who is not satisfied with such a beautiful and talented woman?
The emperor is also a human being. Throughout history, almost every wise king has a well-educated and well-informed virtuous support.
The ancients said: In ancient times, those who wanted to be virtuous in the world should first govern the country; those who wanted to be victorious should first govern the country; those who wanted to be victorious should first consolidate their families; those who wanted to be victorious should first correct their hearts;
This is to cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and pacify the world.
Zhu Cilang felt that this kind of life was perfect only if he was awakened and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman.
The two looked at each other briefly, and Xu Chenyun's face turned slightly red and she turned her head over.
Zhu Cixuan smiled and said, "I have a story here. I wonder if the girl is willing to listen to it?"
Xu Chenyun pointed and said, "You talk."
Zhu Cixuan said: "One day, Yugong was digging a mountain with a hoe, and the wise man asked: Yugong, what are you doing?
Yugong said: I am moving mountains!
Zhisou laughed and said: Moving the mountain? Can you finish moving it?
Yugong laughed: I can’t move it all, I still have my son, my son can’t move it all, my grandson can’t move it all, my grandson can’t move it all, my great grandson can’t move it all, my descendants are endless!
Then Zhisou said another sentence, Yugong put down his hoe and stopped digging."
Zhu Cixuan looked at her with a smile and asked, "Talented girl, guess what Zhishou said before Yugong gave up moving the mountain?"
Xu Chenyun frowned and began to think. According to the records in the book, Yugong was not afraid of difficulties, persevered, and digging mountains without stopping. He was a man with great perseverance. What method could Zhishou use to make Yugong give up moving mountains? It was really incredible...
Finally, she shook her head and said, "I can't think of it, I don't know what Zhisou said?"
Zhu Cilang didn't keep it a secret and said with a smile: "Zhishou said: Do you have a wife? Yugong was stunned when he heard this, throwing away the hoe on the spot and saying, "I won't dig it anymore!"
After hearing this, Xu Chenyun was stunned and stared at Zhu Cilang in a daze, looking surprised.
She was stunned for a minute before she stretched out her jade hand and lit Zhu Cilang and said, "You, you can actually make up such a thing to change Yugong!"
After saying that, I couldn't help laughing out loud.
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "This is purely fabricated by my foolish brother, but it just makes me laugh. You can't take it seriously."
Xu Chenyun frowned slightly: "I am a woman, why do you still call me a virtuous brother..."
Zhu Cixuan pretended to be surprised and said, "I don't call you a virtuous brother, what do you call me?"
After saying that, he stared at Xu Chenyun, meaningful and his eyes were slightly discharged.
Xu Chenyun's face turned red, her eyes drooped slightly, and her two pink flowers rose quickly onto her jade cheeks, making her even more beautiful and charming.
Afraid that she would run away from anger, Zhu Cixuan hurriedly said, "Why would you call them for a picnic together?"
"Okay!" Xu Chenyun nodded lightly, feeling relieved. If this continues, she really doesn't know what she will be flirted with by this young master Zhu...
