Bright Spring

Yun'er's room was unlocked, Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door, and sure enough, she saw her leaning against a young man, sitting at a table of wine and vegetables, pouring wine while laughing.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped in, bowed and said, "Brother Wang, are you all right?"

The young man was stunned for a moment: "My surname is not Wang! Brother, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"How could you admit your mistake?" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly laughed and pointed at him, "Brother Wang didn't want to reveal his real name that time, he didn't treat me as a brother, alas!" He walked to the table and sat down while talking.

Yun'er said: "Aren't you Mr. Hong?"

"Miss Yun'er has a good memory." Zhu Gaoxu praised.

The young man said, "So you guys know each other too."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "Since we are all acquaintances, how about having a drink or two together? Later, there is a brother who is coming, from Shandong to the Imperial Academy of the Capital, passing Yangzhou. Didn't Miss Yun'er also meet? Show me Look at the door, and remind me when it comes."

"Mr. Hong has many friends." Yun'er said.

The two of them spoke one word at a time, leaving "Brother Wang" aside.This young man was originally looking for a girl to talk about his ideals in life, but somehow a big man came over and talked nonsense, his face was already very unhappy.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him, and said very sincerely: "I'm sorry, Brother Wang."

The young man said, "I told you, my surname is not Wang!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I have admitted the wrong person." Zhu Gaoxu took out a few big Ming treasures and said, "Today's table is mine, please accept it, Brother Wang."

The younger generation glanced at Yun'er who was opposite, and Yun'er was looking at him with a smile.Housheng's face was a little red, he was embarrassed to take the money away from Yun'er, and said: "I am a person who is greedy for such a small fortune? Let me tell you, my family has thousands of acres of land, and there are seven or eight shops in Yangzhou! You Where did this person come from, he is holding two banknotes to embarrass people here, how much is it worth now? Hah!"

Yun'er immediately smiled and complimented: "So you are the son of a rich family!"

"Hey! That's so powerful!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed, and immediately took out a silver bracelet from his arms, and put it on for Yun'er, "When you come in the afternoon, you don't even have a greeting gift, so don't be disgusted, girl."

Yun'er smiled and said: "My family is being polite, thank you Mr. Hong."

"How much is the silver worth?" Zhu Gaoxu laughed, "Let's not talk about seven or eight shops and thousands of acres of land, you can't even buy one mu of land!"

As he spoke, he stretched his hand into his bosom, ready to wait for "Brother Wang" to make a move, so he took out a golden hairpin.

"Brother Wang" blushed and got up and said, "I see you are a prodigal son! Ling Zuntang knows, so don't be pissed off! I have money, why do I throw it everywhere?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "My father likes to see me like a prodigal, I won't lie to you."

"Brother Wang" has already walked out of the room angrily.

Yun'er looked at his back with disgust, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu's hand stretched out into his arms, and said with a sneer, "It's really boring for him to talk about money!"

"No, you lose with a silver bracelet." Zhu Gaoxu echoed, stretched out his hand, took out the hairpin, and handed it to Yun'er: "Miss Yuner, remember to look after my friend from Shandong. .”

Yun'er smiled and said coquettishly: "Young Master Hong spends a lot of money, you can ask the servants to do whatever you want tonight."

"If this continues, I won't be able to bear it until it gets dark." Zhu Gaoxu laughed, "I'm hungry, let's eat food first."

Yun'er said: "My family asked someone to change the table."

"Don't waste food. Although Yangzhou is rich, there are still people who can't eat enough." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Just change a pair of chopsticks."

When Yun'er brought the chopsticks, Zhu Gaoxu immediately picked up the vegetables and started eating, staring at the door while eating.Just now he was eloquent, but after "Brother Wang" left, he didn't have much to say to Miss Yun'er.

Chapter 163 Make a Deal

"It seems... that person." Yuner suddenly said.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked up and saw a tall young scribe in a square scarf and green robe walking into the gate and talking to the woman inside.He immediately stood up and said: "Miss Yun'er, wait a moment, I haven't come back for a while, so I will come back another day."

He walked out of the room calmly, stood on the attic, and watched the scribe from the corner of his eye.Regardless of whether it's Gao Xianning or not, Zhu Gaoxu is going to take a look, he doesn't dare to leave Beijing for too long, he will leave at noon tomorrow at the most.

Zhu Gaoxu discussed with Wang Gui yesterday, and Wang Gui will be asked to cross the river from the port near Wai Jinchuan Gate to meet him tomorrow.Therefore, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, Zhu Gaoxu has to go back to the mansion first.

The scribe didn't go up to the attic, but walked in a direction without stairs.Zhu Gaoxu observed that there was a door leading to the back, and immediately walked down to the attic.

Sure enough, the scholar passed through another door in the lobby, and Zhu Gaoxu followed.Out of the gatehouse, there is a courtyard surrounded by two-story houses.

I don't know if that person is Gao Xianning, Zhu Gaoxu and him have never met each other.Zhu Gaoxu immediately walked to the eaves calmly, the scribe looked back, but Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were fixed on the one upstairs, and he had already passed by the scribe.The scribe went to the door of a room and knocked three times, twice urgently and once slowly.

The door of the room opened, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned around and walked over, saying: "Gao Gongshi?"

The scribe was stunned for a moment, Zhu Gaoxu had already rushed to the door, and stretched out his hand to open the wooden door.There was actually Qitai, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, standing inside!

The three of them immediately looked at each other with delicate expressions.

Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised. He just wanted to find Gao Xianning first, and then try to find Qi Tai. He didn't expect Qi Tai to hide here!Didn't Qi Tai go out of Beijing to recruit soldiers?

There was no one else on the eaves, so Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice: "Qi Butang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The corner of Qi Tai's mouth twitched, and he bowed in return, "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you." After all, a person who has seen a big battle can hold his breath at this time.

"Why don't we go in and talk?" Zhu Gaoxu said.

"Please." Qi Tai said.

Gao Xianning on the side is very young, but calm and silent.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked through the threshold, Qi Tai glanced outside.But there were no official messengers and armored soldiers brought by Zhu Gaoxu outside.

The three of them sat up and down, Zhu Gaoxu sat at the head unceremoniously.Qi Tai said: "I had persuaded some of my colleagues in the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the enemy, but Xianning came and kindly took me away, and advised me not to be an enemy of King Yan..."

"I understand." Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "This matter has nothing to do with Gao Gongshi. Gao Gongshi also has his heart towards the court, so he will dissuade Qi Butang. Qi Butang is a loyal minister of Emperor Jianwen. Of course, he must fight the enemy to the end. After all, Jing The name on the difficult call cannot be erased, and the family members cannot be convicted in vain."

Qi Tai heard that there was something in the words, and his expression was very ugly.

At this moment, Gao Xianning cupped his hands and said, "Dare to ask brother..."

"I'm Zhu Gaoxu."

After Gao Xianning heard this, he froze there, with fear in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, Gao Gongshi." Zhu Gaoxu said, "If I came to arrest you, how could I come alone? Why should I talk to you here?"

Gao Xianning said: "Why did King Gaoyang come here?"

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "Gongshi Gao should know the current situation of Qibutang, and you also know the consequences of hiding Qibutang. But Gaogongshi still ignores the worry of his life, and thinks of his teacher's kindness and righteousness. This king admires him so much and doesn't want to harm him."

Qi Tai and Gao Xianning looked at each other.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "How about we negotiate a deal?"

Seeing him looking at him, Gao Xianning cupped his hands and said, "King Gaoyang, please speak."

Zhu Gaoxu said indifferently: "My father loves the virtuous and thirsty, and wants to invite high-ranking officials to serve as officials in the court, but you are aiming at the countryside. In order to promote the virtuous for the father, as long as the high-paying officials are willing to enter the court as officials, I will protect them." The life of the hall is safe."
