Chapter 766
As soon as the sky was dawn, Zhou Zheng rushed to the Jade House and stood respectfully at the door of Cheng Mo's room, watching the open space at the door gradually light up, the sun rose, and the sun shone in. It was not until the sun was over, and Heizi came out and told the friend to bring breakfast in. It seemed that Cheng Mo had finished washing and had a meal.
Zhou Zheng smiled at Heizi and greeted him friendly.
Kuroko nodded at him and went in without informing him.
Half an hour later, Cheng Mo finished breakfast and drank tea, remembered something, and said carelessly: "Where is the Lord Zhouzhou? Didn't he say he wanted to go out together?"
Heizi said: "The Lord of Zhouzhou has arrived."
Outside the door, Zhou Zheng, who could hear the conversation between the two clearly, burst into tears. Is he so unpresent?
"Oh, here you come? Please come in."
Afterwards, Zhou Zheng was invited in.
Cheng Mo stood by the window and looked into Yangzhou City from afar. He didn't seem to know that he had come in. He saluted respectfully, then walked forward a few steps, walked about three steps behind Cheng Mo, and said, "Prince, look, there are the residences of gentry in the east, with gardens lined up, and the residences in the west..."
He introduced one by one, but he did not lie. Jade House was located in the center of Dongcheng. It was originally a mansion of a cloth merchant. After Chen San gave his sister to Zhou Zheng as his concubine, he forced the mansion to buy it for less than 30%. The cloth merchant was frightened by Zhou Zheng's power and dared not speak out. In anger, he simply moved outside the city.
Chen San pushed down the front and back yards of the cloth merchant, preserved the garden, and built this three-story jade house. The building is three-story, all with wooden structures, making it the tallest building in Yangzhou City.
Standing on the third floor of Jade House, looking into the distance, you can see Yangzhou City in full view.
Cheng Mo looked from Dongcheng to Xicheng and said, "I wonder who are living in these mansions in Dongcheng?"
Zhou Zheng said frankly: "Most of them are merchants."
The best locations were occupied by salt merchants, and they were either forced to buy them at low prices or asked some scoundrels to make trouble every day, which made people unable to live in peace, so they had to buy them at a low price and move out of here.
Cheng Mo's eyes stopped in Xicheng, where most of them were houses, one by one, and Zhou Jin should have lived there.
When Zhou Zheng saw Cheng Mo stop talking, he felt uneasy. He thought that the uncrowned king of Yangzhou was often worried in front of Cheng Mo, the real king. He was in a high position and was not comparable to ordinary people.
Cheng Mo looked at it for a long time and said, "Mr. Zhou, let's go?"
Zhou Zheng was thinking about the gap between him and Cheng Mo. When he heard this, he said in a daze: "Where to go?"
"Didn't you say you want to play with me? Let's go now."
"Yes, yes, the lower official should die. The lower official was angry last night and ruined the reputation of the lower official and could not sleep all night. Then he was confused and asked the prince to blame him."
Cheng Mo walked out and said, "Oh? Don't be angry."
"That evil slave, the servant wanted to kill him, but his family had an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. The servant couldn't bear it, so he had to hit him thirty sticks, which made him break his bones. He would definitely not dare to do so in the future. After the servant, he would definitely be a good servant to discipline his servants. Please don't blame him."
He actually pleaded for the evil slave. Cheng Mo smiled angrily and said, "I have just passed by here and traveled casually for a few days. How could I be angry with a slave?"
"Yes, yes, yes. The official is stupid and can't speak. Don't take it to your heart." Zhou Zheng said quickly.
Zhou Zheng went on a journey of investigation, first observed, then recommended, and recommended from local governments to the capital. Huo Guang met him personally and talked to him, and saw that he was indeed talented and talented. Emperor Wu established thirteen counties, and Yangzhou was one of them. The state's gang salary was 2,000 stones, second only to the Nine Ministers. Such an important position is not only a stupid person who can be competent for?
Cheng Mo said: "Mr. Zhou, where will we go to have a trip today?"
Zhou Zheng felt uneasy again when he didn't accept his humble words, and said, "There are still a few attractions in Yangzhou. The first place to go is Xizi Lake."
"West Lake?" Cheng Mo was surprised. Could it be that the West Lake era existed?
"Some people also call it that. The prince really knows the scenery of Yangzhou." So, are you really here to visit?
On the other side, the two of them went to West Lake. On the other side, A Fei took two companions to the small courtyard where Zhou Jin lived again and asked the neighbors about his place.
The man opposite the courtyard was named Chen, and he was ranked 12 in the clan, known as Chen Shier. He looked at A Fei and the other two vigilantly and said, "Who are you? Why do you ask Zhou Jingshi?"
In the yard, the woman was extremely nervous and rushed out and pulled him up and left. Before Ah Fei could react, the yard gate slammed and closed.
A Fei slapped the door for a long time, and Chen Shier's wife refused to let her husband open the door. A Fei wanted to inquire with others, but when the neighbors saw them with a foreign accent, they looked at them with vigilant eyes, but no one dared to tell the truth.
On the banks of Xizi Lake, Cheng Mo stood in the muddy land by the lake. Looking at the famous scenic spot in front of him that is very different from the modern one, he felt a little confused. At this time, the West Lake did not have Suti and Baidi, and the area was much smaller than that of modern ones. A few willow trees by the lake swayed in the wind.
A boat was parked by the lake, and Zhou Zheng respectfully invited Cheng Mo to board the boat.
The boat was very spacious. A young woman whom I saw was still pitiful to Cheng Mo, saying, "Prince."
On the short table on the boat, several dishes were prepared, a pot of wine, and the young woman raised her chopsticks and picked up the dishes, and sent them to Cheng Mo's lips, and said in a sweet voice: "This is a unique product in Yangzhou, which the prince appreciates."
This woman's eyebrows and eyes are like picturesque and her voice is like an oriole. When she is close to her, her fragrance is swaying.
Zhou Zheng smiled beside him and said, "This is the concubine of the Xiaguan, named Lu'er. Lu'er has heard of the prince's name for a long time and has been looking up to the prince for a long time. It is Lu'er's blessing to be able to serve the prince today."
Concubine is an object, which can be bought and sold or given away. Zhou Zheng is going to give Lu'er to Cheng Mo.
This Lu'er is Shen. Last night, Zhou Zheng wanted to use the beauty trick, but at midnight, where could he find a beautiful beauty at the moment? After returning home, he still went to Shen's room. After some lingering, he told Shen about sending her to serve Cheng Mo.
The King of Bei'an was successful at a young age, and was also the prince. He was also known as the most beautiful man in the capital. He was the dream lover of many women. When Shen heard this, he was happy and immediately agreed. Zhou Zheng took the opportunity to ask Shen to speak kindly to him in front of Cheng Mo. Shen quickly promised that if he could recommend himself to the King of Bei'an, he would definitely make a match for him and let King of Bei'an become his support.
Early in the morning, Zhou Zheng went to the Jade Juju to pick up Cheng Mo, and Shen dressed up carefully, got on the bus to the shore of Xizi Lake, and boarded the boat that had been prepared long ago.
When she saw Cheng Mo, she secretly agreed that since such a talented man fell into her hands, how could she miss it? She must let him take him to the capital, and from then on, climb to the branch and become a noble lady.
Shen used the means of flattering Zhou Zheng, showing his most beautiful face, and handed the dish to Cheng Mo's lips.
