478. Found a strange book(1/2)

After Du Buying and Zhu Qi entered the room, Zhu Qi broke the window paper next door, which made Du Buying take a look.

After Du Buwang saw clearly that the next door was Mr. Xun who had a private meeting with Zhu Qi in Zhulin at night, the two of them returned to the table and started eating wine and food.

Because Zhu Qi didn't like the two women who came in to serve, he lit their acupoints and pushed them to a corner.

At this time, Du Buying asked Zhu Qi:

"Qi'er, what have you been doing recently? Since you were in the Suzhou yamen last time, there has been no news about you. I only heard that you were sent back to the Zhao Prince's Mansion by my incompetent brother-in-law. In fact, I'm almost worried about you these days!"

Zhu Qi drank a glass of wine:

"My father really wants to capture me back to the palace. I know what he thinks. He must have wanted me to go back and recruit me a prince consort, but I only have you, Brother Du, in my heart!"

Du Buwang got up and moved the stool to Zhu Qi. The two sat together closely, and then hugged Zhu Qi's waist:

"Qi'er, I know you only have me in your heart. In fact, you are also very important in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't be jealous today."

Zhu Qi glared at Du Buwang:

"You are so embarrassed to say such things. I almost got abused by your brother-in-law last time, and I didn't see you come to save me. Fortunately, Yan Shifan is there, otherwise I wouldn't be ashamed to see you again now."

Du Buwang kissed Zhu Qi on the forehead:

"I have also heard about this. It's true that Brother Du, I didn't protect you, Qi'er. Can't I apologize to you?"

Zhu Qi looked at Du Buwang:

"Brother Du, how do you want to apologize to me and compensate me?"

Du Buwang pulled Zhu Qi over and hugged him and kissed him for a while:

"Qi'er, is it okay to compensate like this?"

Zhu Qi gently pushed Du Buwang and wiped the corner of his mouth:

"Brother Du, it's so bad. If I don't care about you, I'll ignore you. There are still people watching us over there!"

Du Buwang turned around and looked at the two brothel women who were acupunctured in the corner. At this time, they both opened their eyes wide and looked at themselves and Zhu Qi, and then said to them:

"Since you are girls from this courtyard, you naturally have seen it a lot. Why bother making a fuss? We have to click on your acupoints. I hope the two girls will forgive you."

Then he turned around and said to Zhu Qi on the side:

"Qi'er, you're shy?"

Zhu Qi lowered his head and went to eat the wine and food on the table, ignoring Du Buying.

Du Buying saw that Zhu Qi was eating with relish at this time, so he picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Zhu Qi's bowl:

"Qi'er, eat more if you like it!"

Zhu Qi put down his chopsticks and stopped eating:

"Who said I like to eat it? I don't want to waste this table of good dishes. I have earned them all with real money!"

Du Buwang suddenly asked:

"Qi'er, how could you be an actor in Leping County?"

Zhu Qi replied immediately:

"Because I know Brother Du, you will definitely pass by here, so I came here a few days ago and happened to see a troupe here who would get out of the show every night, so I thought it was fun, so I went to have a role to play."

After a little slow down, he continued:

"I didn't expect that when the boss of this opera troupe saw me, he said that I was both beautiful and good at speaking, and immediately hired me."

Du Buwang smiled:

"A princess of the Zhao Mansion of the Ming Dynasty actually went to the opera troupe to be an actor. I don't think anyone else can do such a thing!"

After hearing this, Zhu Qi rolled his eyes directly at Du Buwang:

"Brother Du, are you teasing me? If you say this, I will ignore you in the future!"

Du Buwang then changed the subject and asked:

"Qi'er, is your opera troupe boss the master of the Xu family where you live?"

Zhu Qi shook his head:

"We live in Xu's house, and I have never seen a master of the Xu's house. I only heard our headmaster say that Xu's house is an old house and has not lived in it for a long time, so our headmaster gave some money to the former Xu's house butler, so we moved in, but the Xu's house is quite strange!"

Du Buwang asked again:

"I entered the Xu Mansion and looked around, but I didn't find it strange?"

Zhu Qi then explained:

"We moved into the Xu Mansion, and the headmaster told us that the Xu Mansion could not go to any other place except the attic courtyard where we lived, otherwise there would be life-threatening. So I have been curious about what dangers there will be in other places? But I dare not go alone."

Du Buwang immediately said:

"What's there to be afraid of? I'll accompany you now!"

Zhu Qi shook his head:

"It's only the fourth day of the day, and it's not dawn. I won't go with you. Let's talk about it when it's dawn!"

Du Buying replied:

"Okay, but now we are full of food and drinks. We are just waiting here until dawn, which is a bit boring, right?"

Zhu Qi seemed to understand what Du Buying means, and he held it in his eyes:

"Then why are you sitting here? Why don't you carry someone to the bed there?"

Du Buwuwang smiled:

"Okay, it turns out that my Qi'er is not ashamed, then I'm here!"

Then he excitedly picked up Zhu Qi and went to the bed there.

After the two met for a long time, the weather was getting darker and Du Buwang was about to fall asleep, but Zhu Qi pulled him up:

"Brother Du, stop sleeping. Come with me to Xu's mansion now. No one has gotten up at this time in the morning. It is the least likely that people will be discovered when entering Xu's mansion!"

Du Buwang had no choice but to drag his tired body, put on his clothes and walked out of Chunjiao Tower with Zhu Qi, and entered the Xu Mansion from the courtyard wall.

Zhu Qi first brought Du Buwang to the outside of the main house of Xu Mansion. This main house was a large house with a width of seven rooms. Judging from the pillars, it was actually a precious golden nanmu.

Seeing this, Du Buwuwang was shocked and couldn't help but say:

"Who dares to build a house with golden nanmu except the princes and nobles? Could this main house be left over from any princes and nobles before?"

Zhu Qi shook his head:

"I don't know. Every time I pass by this main house, I feel a little strange. Why is it so similar to our Zhao Palace Hall? Even the size is similar."

Du Buying looked at the rusty copper lock on the door, and his luck shattered the lock, and Zhu Qi was stunned by the side:

"Brother Du, you...when did you have such powerful internal skills?"

Du Buwuwang smiled at Zhu Qi:

"I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to really shatter it!"

Then he took Zhu Qi's hand and pushed open the door:

"Let's go inside!"

After entering the big house, the two found that there was a magnificent hall inside. Although the doors and windows around were blocked by rows of wooden boards, the specifications inside were no less than those of Zhu Qi's father's Zhao Wang Mansion.

At this time, Du Buwang suddenly asked Zhu Qi:

"Qi'er, I think this must be the former residence of any of your uncles. Do you think it will belong to?"

Zhu Qi started talking:

"As far as I know, there are only four of my uncles and uncles who are enfeoffed in Jiangxi, one is King Ning Zhu Quan, the other is King Jing Zhu Zhanke, the other is King Huai Zhu Zhanke, and the last is King Yi Zhu Youbin!"

After a little slow down, he continued:

"If we count the territory of Leping, this place should belong to the descendants of Zhu Zhanji, the king of Huai. I think this hall and this Xu Mansion must have been the mansion of a Huai King Bei Mansion or a county prince under the Huai King's vassal."

Du Buwang gave Zhu Qi a thumbs up:

"Qi'er, I didn't expect you to know a lot?"

Zhu Qi looked at Du Buwang:

"Don't you think about what my identity is? In addition to learning to read and write since I was a child, I also had to learn to know these royal uncles and uncles!"

Du Buwang walked to a study room next to the hall and found a cabinet filled with a large number of old and yellow ancient books. After closer inspection, all the names of these books were signed by Xun Xu, the Secretary of the Secretariat, and Ling Heqiao.

Du Buwang then curiously opened one of the books and saw the words "Re-translated in the 10th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty".

In the opening, the first chapter says:

"The Five Emperors' Chronicles, Yao's virtues were declining in the past, and he sought for the emperor that Yao had won from Pingyang..."

Seeing this Du Buwang was stunned:

"This... does this Confucian historical book that I have read for so many years record that Yao was in abdicated in Shun in accordance with the will of heaven? Why does this book record that Shun imprisoned Yao and exiled Yao's eldest son?"
To be continued...
