The boat sailed in the clear Qinhuai River, across the southern part of the majestic Jinling, the Jubao Gate is the famous Qinhuai River. There is the holy place "Jiangnan Gongyuan" in the minds of scholars all over the world, the "Commemorative Temple" one of the four major religious temples, the "Zhanyuan" that later became known as one of the four famous gardens in Jiangnan, the "Wuyi Lane" in the old days, and the "Wuyi Lane" in the homes of ordinary people, and the Smoky Moon Area of ​​the Six Dynasties and countless brothels where gold and powder are gathered.

The boat was swaying on the calm river surface, and from time to time, small and exquisite lanterns were flowing down the river. I didn’t know that the little lanterns were entrusting the girl’s beautiful wishes.

Every Lantern Festival, the sea of ​​tens of thousands of lanterns will be lit on the Qinhuai River, and various pleasure boats and lanterns compete for beauty. Since the Ming Dynasty established its capital in Jinling, the Lantern Festival in the capital has gradually enjoyed the reputation of "the world's lanterns", and the lanterns on the Qinhuai River have also begun to become famous all over the world.

Xu Hao remembered the scene when the old lady went to Beijing together during this year's Lantern Festival. Although it was only a short day, it still made him remember it deeply.

At that time, he accompanied his elder sister and younger sister to put five lanterns in a row. Unfortunately, he was in Xu Mansion Garden. The elders were worried that they would be lost outside in chaos and were not allowed to go out to watch the sea of ​​lanterns.

He could only stand in the loft at the highest point of Xufu Garden to enjoy the dazzling night view of Qinhuai. He did not know that Zhanyuan, a national cultural relics and monuments in later generations, was actually the Xufu Garden. He only knew that in addition to the Imperial Palace, Xufu Garden was one of the best beautiful gardens in the entire capital, and the location was near the Qinhuai River. This was specially built by Zhu Yuanzhang to thank his hero Xu Da.

Of course, the current Xu Mansion of Duke Wei is not Zhanyuan, nor is it the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion that Xu Da was named after his death. It took several repeated repairs and expansions by the descendants of the Xu family to finally form a perfect Jiangnan garden.

Xu Hao was very yearning for the beauties on the Qinhuai in the Ten Miles, but was not very interested. First, he was not a talented man, second, he had no money, third, he respected the eight beauties of Qinhuai in the late Ming Dynasty, and fourth, he spread the so-called reputation that was exaggerated and praised by literati and poets. Isn’t it just a red light district that spends money to buy laughter?

Of course, the Qinhuai River is a elegant place with style, not a "old courtyard" near Qinhuai, which is so easy to buy. The kilns that have many prostitutes who live in houses can compare with each other, because the literati are naturally inferior, and the more they are packaged into various cultural rules, the more they flock to them.

Unfortunately, Master Xu has a low style and cannot understand the most popular Nanqu in the Qinhuai River. He has no interest in competing with a group of educated gangsters and playing with elegance, nor has the time to fight wits with talented prostitutes.

The Qinhuai River's romanticism is obvious to promote economic and people's livelihood. The most famous one is Zhushi. A large number of jewelry is bought by high-quality customers every day just to spend a thousand gold to make the beauty smile.

The silk shop run by Xu Hao's father Xu Qingtang is hidden in Zhucheng City, and business is naturally prosperous. After all, there are too many women here.

Xu Qingtang's original name was Xu Yuntang. In order to avoid Zhu Yunwen's name, their generation changed their names.

Xu Hao didn't know the details of his own business. He always wanted to open a top-end shop based on the characteristics of wealthy families in the capital, but now it is limited to his ideas. In fact, it would be better to convert a corner of the Xu Mansion garden into a commercial street. Just sitting at home to collect rent will bring you money.

It seems that ministers are often beheaded and searched. It is not clear whether their houses will be nationalized or sold at a low price? It should be both. In ancient times, the law on private property was very perfect. You can buy a house or several houses near the Qinhuai River and then carry out real estate development.

This idea can be tried, and it must be done before Zhu Yuanzhang died, because the ministers of this period were in danger. Otherwise, when the benevolent and righteous Emperor Jianwen came to power, the ministers would have guaranteed it. In a few years, they would be war and turbulent, which would affect the overall environment for making money. When Zhu Di entered Beijing, the cucumbers and vegetables would be cold at that time.

As for the huge amount of funds needed, Xu Hao blinked innocently. As a glorious and great secret spy, the organization will definitely support a large amount of funds.

He asked for money and was thinking about Miss Mu. His moral character was really bad, but Xu Hao didn't care at all.

Although greed for money and lust is a derogatory term, it is also to some extent the best amulet. In the eyes of big people, subordinates with shortcomings are more controllable than those without shortcomings. Just like the second grandfather Xu Da, he spent countless gold and silver to build a garden, and raised dozens of singers at home to enjoy themselves at home.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong claimed to be honest and dedicated, and his confidants almost praised him as a saint who was no less famous than the ancient prime minister. Is there any desire or demand? Such a person is equivalent to an ambitious man, and Zhu Yuanzhang would never tolerate it, and he ended up becoming a ghost under the knife.

In addition, there is Li Shanchang, who is standing side by side with Xu Da, who is greedy for money and lust. This was originally quite reassured that Zhu Yuanzhang was not investigated even if he had any involvement with Hu Weiyong.

However, although Li Shanchang was greedy, he was reluctant to spend money. Hu Weiyong had been dead for ten years. When he saw Xu Da repairing the garden, he also learned to increase his residence. In order to save money, he actually went to the Duke of Xin to borrow 300 soldiers to work voluntarily. Tang He was afraid and told the emperor, "What do you want to do if you keep so much money?" Do you want to rebel?"

That's not all. Xu Da stayed in the door for ten years and ignored everything. Li Shanchang was old but he was still in a state of old mind. When something happened to his relatives, he came to ask someone to plead for mercy. This was the most despised by Zhu Yuanzhang. As a result, we will settle the new and old accounts together. According to the charge of Hu Weiyong's remnants, the whole family of more than 70 people went to the underworld together.

Xu Hao, who was thinking randomly, sat at the bow of the boat and thought to himself, Grandpa, you are a time bomb. Maybe one day, you will be chopped off your head.

Li Shanchang's eldest son was able to avoid death because he was a son-in-law. I don't know if the princess can save his life? What about the fake princess's son-in-law? He simply ran to the beach to be a pirate and went to Japan to burn, kill, loot, no, I was seasick, oh, confused.

"Young Master, we're here."

Laibao ended someone's suffering and joy. Xu Hao saw that this was a manor next to the river. There seemed to be several small villages around him. In the distance, you could vaguely see the towering city walls.

There were more than a dozen boats moored on the pier, and young people wearing scholars' shirts or Taoist robes stood at the entrance of the courtyard. Xu Hao secretly scolded those who were acquainted with wealth and honor at any time, let alone the great thing of both people and wealth.

If I marry Ningxue, I don’t want a penny from the Mu family. Xu Hao is very ambitious to automatically divide himself and a group of scumbags into two types: good people and bad people.

Xu Hao, who claimed to be not greedy for money, gave Lai Bao a wink. Lai Bao lowered his head and disappeared in a hurry. Xu Hao smiled leisurely and sat on the bow of the boat waiting to watch the fun.

After a while, Lai Bao came out of the manor and said expressionlessly: "One or two silver is a test question, I am willing to buy and sell, and I will not explain it! The quantity is limited, first come first served.

After a moment, Lai Bao was surrounded by a group of young people and rushed to pay out the money. To Xu Hao's surprise, no one asked whether the test questions were true or not. He didn't know that the Jiangnan Gongyuan had been the norm since ancient times, and there were more incredible things than this. It was just one tael of silver. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he would buy them first and have a look.

In less than half a cup of tea, Lai Bao ran away with more than thirty taels of silver. At this time, Xu Hao coughed lightly and got off the boat.

When passing by the two young people, I heard them scolding: "A group of scum who are just making up for the numbers, even if they are lucky enough to get into the Mu family, will they still have to be exposed after a long time?"

"Don't pay attention to those villains, hurry up and study the poems. The princess likes this, and we have to meet his preferences."

Xu Hao sneered and said, "Don't dream." The princess, the innocent daughter's family, how can you test the questions? Are you reading too many film and television novels, or are your imagination too rich?

That is, relatives of our status are qualified to meet and speak in accordance with etiquette. I also have other people's personal poems, so I won't tell you.

Xu Hao's beautiful steps were full of wind. Speaking of which, even if I met a princess, I wouldn't have to retreat, right?

There is a way to be enemies, and Xu Hao suddenly saw Master Cao who was wandering among the crowd. Master Cao replaced the brocade and jade fur of Master Jingchuan, wearing an ordinary white Taoist robe, and plain socks and clean shoes on his feet.
