after rebirth

Chapter 17

For the next few days, Zhao Hengxu took Du Jinrong out of the palace early in the morning, and only came back when the palace gate was locked. In the palace, Yuan Bao was guarded in front of the imperial study, and anyone who came was stopped outside the door. After the day passed, everyone knew that His Majesty locked himself in the imperial study and saw no one.This makes those who are worried about the safety of His Majesty and the country even more worried, and it also makes those who are anxious in their hearts even more uneasy. The Deng family is already in a state of desperation, and the matter of Deng Xiuji and Bao Hui is on the line. Deng Xiugu really wants to die. No matter how thick his skin is, he can't hide the traces of embarrassment when he looks at others with ill intentions, sarcasm or worry.

Also bothering is Zhong Zhizhi. My good nephew went out in one piece, and when he came back disabled, he invited famous doctors in the capital, but one leg was completely disabled. A good child, he was well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, with good morals and studies. When his mother went to Taibailou to buy some snacks, her leg was broken, and her reputation was ruined because she bumped into Deng Xiuji and a prostitute as a street gangster. How could Zhong Zhitian swallow this breath? Finding the Duke of Wei's family is bad luck, but His Majesty doesn't care about anything, even finding someone to talk about justice, it's really annoying.

Chong Zhichun walked back and forth restlessly in the study, and Deng Xiugu couldn't live in peace at his own home.

"Elder Master, Second Master is not at my cousin's house. I have also searched for my great-uncle's house on East Street, but he is not there." The housekeeper of Deng's family replied outside the door with a sad face.

"Bastard, it must be that you little screwdrivers don't look for it carefully. The second master has grown wings and flew away. Hurry up and look for it."

This kind of dialogue is staged in Deng's house every day. Wei Guogong himself is lying on the bed out of breath and dying. The whole family hides Deng Xiuji's scandal from him, but Deng Xiugu turns gray in a hurry. Tian would send people to the door every day to yell, but Deng Xiuji, who committed the crime, could not be found everywhere, alas...

------------------

Seven days had passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival. Within seven days, under the instruction of Zhao Hengxu, Wu Shan finally established Jinyiwei. He was the commander, Hao Ren was the deputy commander, and the main organization was set up in the Yeting Hall.Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, the first thing she did was to interrogate the assassin of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The assassin had a very hard mouth, and she herself was a killer who took money to do things. Someone arrested her most important person, so she accepted the case involving the government. As for who hired her and who arrested her most important person, she didn't know anything.Eighteen kinds of large ones have been used in turn, but no usable information can be found.Wu Shanzhong was also very troubled, the first thing His Majesty entrusted him to do might be yellow.

But Zhao Hengxu did not blame him, and of course it is even more impossible to have a reward. Instead, he gave Wu Shanzhong another matter, to rectify the atmosphere of officials in Beijing and China, specifically referring to night stays in brothels, officials whoring, and prostitution. Flower streets, brothels, and private houses for entertainment have all suffered disasters.

But unfortunately, Jin Yiwei was short of manpower, and the commotion was not very big.

Tonight, at the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, Zhao Hengxu brought Du Jinrong to Chaogelou, the largest brothel in the capital. People fell under her pomegranate skirt, Chaoge suddenly disappeared ten years ago, returned to the capital five years ago and opened a Chaoge House in Hualiu Lane, and became the largest brothel in the capital in just five years.

Zhao Hengxu asked the bustard to prepare a clean room where he could see the situation inside the building, and waved everyone away, "Jin Rong, I'll take you to see the excitement today."

"Your Majesty, the drinks here are not clean." Du Jinrong stopped Zhao Hengxu from pouring water. After seven days of getting along, the atmosphere between him and Zhao Hengxu became more and more harmonious. It made Du Jinrong calm and introverted, and his temperament became more peaceful, which made Zhao Hengxu like it more and more. He felt that Du Jinrong was really suitable for dark clothes.

Caiwei and the others are very careful in making clothes. The black cyan fabric is made of the same color, dark cyan, cyan, and black. The neckline, placket, cuffs, hem, and dark cyan waistband are embroidered with flower and grass patterns. Flowers and plants also imply good luck. The combination of flowers and plants has beautiful meanings such as wealth, auspiciousness and so on. The edge of the white inner garment is exposed inside the dark blue robe. It is made of Songjiang cotton, the best cotton in Daqi. The cotton used for socks can make two or three clothes.What's more, Du Jinrong's close-fitting clothes were all like this.

Even Zhao Hengxu himself didn't enjoy such a good time. Of course, Du Jinrong didn't know about it. First, no one told him, and second, he didn't ask about it. He just thought that these clothes were made of ordinary materials.

Zhao Hengxu's family is in Lingnan. It can be said that the whole south is the place where he ruled initially. Therefore, the south that settled down first is much better economically and humanistically than the north, and the taxes paid are not comparable to those in the north. Yes, Songjiang cotton is produced in the south. Du Jinrong's clothing is a tribute, and it is indeed not worth anything. Zhao Hengxu, who has a lot of power, can afford it and is willing to give it. If someone uses it to criticize Du Jinrong, Zhao Hengxu would like someone to come After saying a few words, he sent people to the frontier to grow cotton, heh heh.

"It's not in the way here, and the drinks are clean." Zhao Hengxu said with a smile, "Same as Taibailou, this place is also my property." Getting along with Du Jinrong, Zhao Hengxu gradually changed his decades-old self-proclaimed, that The word "zhen" carries too much desolate taste of being alone. "The Baihe Building on the side of Baihu Mountain is also my property. When the weather gets colder, we will move to Xiaque Palace. The Qinglong Pond in winter is also worth seeing."

For seven days, Zhao Hengxu took Du Jinrong out of the palace every day, and visited all corners of the capital. The furthest went to Baihu Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. The mountain got its name because it looked like a crouching tiger from a distance. In White Tiger Mountain, they came to the foot of the mountain for some reason, and Zhao Hengxu didn't bring Du Jinrong up the mountain.

There are five scenic spots in the capital that serve the people's lives. Among them, Baihu Mountain and Xuanwu Street can be seen by ordinary people at close range. Others, such as Zhuque Bridge, Qinglong Pond, and Qilin Palace are all owned by the royal family.Zhuque Bridge is just in front of Changxin Palace. Nine white marble bridges span the long river, resembling jade belts and the tail feathers of Suzaku, hence the name.Qinglong Pond is on the west side of the capital. A clear river passes through the mountain like a green dragon. It is where the royal palace is located. Spa Palace.Shangyu Palace and Xiaque Palace are separated by Qinglong Pool, and there is a pontoon bridge on the river, which is very interesting.As for the Qilin Hall, located in the southwest of the capital, it is used for royal sacrifices, and Qin Tianjian is also there.

When the weather got colder, he took Du Jinrong to Xiaque Palace located in Qinglongchi to soak in the hot springs and avoid the cold. At that time, Du Jinrong's belly was getting big, so it was better to be in a warm and comfortable place. Xiaque Palace also had fresh green vegetables in winter. ,.

The topic is far away, now Zhao Hengxu and Du Jinrong are still in Chaoge Building, and they don’t know the distress of the present when they hear the singing, or "the businesswoman does not know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings flowers in the backyard across the river", there are many absurd and obscene in the brothel Chuguan of having fun.The Chaoge Building is an elegant place, and the lewd pleasures are also hidden in the house. There are also song and dance performances arranged by the Chaoge Building in the lobby. Those who want to be lively and want privacy can choose the private room upstairs.

The singing and dancing in the Chaoge Building is a must. The swaying dancers are dancing gracefully. The charming and moving eyes brought out by the small waist and the flowing eyes make people's hearts flutter. From time to time, some literati and poets are arty and write A creation with a bleak life experience, a moving figure, and a servant who misses you.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have told your subordinates." Du Jinrong stared fixedly at the warm tea in the white porcelain teacup. Ever since His Majesty asked Baizhi if he could drink the white tea from Taibailou, Baizhi replied that the white tea from Taibailou was warm and nourishing. After pregnant women often drink it to nourish the heart and protect the fetus, white tea is indispensable for his daily tea. This makes Du Jinrong both happy and slightly sad. He is more happy than His Majesty's concern for his body than this kind of concern. completely from the child.

"You are so loyal and you won't betray me, why should I hide it from you." Zhao Hengxu said naturally.Du Jinrong is the person who cares most about him in this world. If Jinrong still can't believe it, then who else is worthy of his care? There is not even a completely honest and trustworthy person in the world. Even if he owns the world, he is just A loner, isn't he like this in his previous life?

Du Jinrong pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, the light and shadows covered up her feeble pallor, "Yes." He replied softly, it's good to be able to gain His Majesty's trust, isn't it?Even though Zhao Hengxu had a lot of bad things, he gave himself a new life when he was most difficult, giving him the opportunity to continue studying and have a comfortable life, instead of suffering from life or being sold to a worse place by Du Hekun, He thanked Zhao Hengxu and loved him from the bottom of his heart.So what about the feelings hidden in the corner, as long as you know your own heart.

In the private room, there was a silent silence, Zhao Hengxu seemed to understand something, but he didn't know how to express it, he gave Du Jinrong great trust, could it be wrong?

Zhao Hengxu didn't understand that the trust he took for granted was actually so hurtful, and he punched Du Jinrong's self-abased heart so hard that he realized that he was just a subordinate, not someone who could love.

The sudden noise from Chaoge Building broke the tranquility of the room. The sound of tables, chairs, benches, cups, bowls and chopsticks smashing to the ground, women's screams and men's heavy orders, entangled with the unique incense in the building slowly Penetrate into the house.

"Master, Jin Yiwei and Shuntian Fu Yin have come to check the building." The clear and clear youthful voice whispered in front of the door.That is Mu Bao, one of Zhao Hengxu's three treasures. He is only 13 years old and very clever.Mu Bao is not an eunuch in the house, but a special eunuch for Zhao Hengxu to take care of horses. Because he is smart, discerning, and courageous, Zhao Hengxu always takes him with him when he goes out of the palace.
