After the third update, the room became very quiet. The curtain in front of the bed was still motionless, just like the continuous strong wind in the yard. Finally, the wind stopped, as quiet as the windless leaves.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Miss Du is not...how could she be a perfect body?"

Du Qianrui said quietly: "I have played the piano and sang songs for many people, but I have never experienced that kind of thing. In my early years, the people who bought me were at the price and didn't want to lower their value. Later, there were too many girls in the Jiaofangsi and Fuleyuan. I was just a musician."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu gently stroked her back with his hands and said kindly, "It's all my fault that I'm too rough and violent, which made Miss Du suffer."

Du Qianrui curled up in his arms, raised her head slightly, shook her head and showed a smile, "I will be very happy as long as the prince needs me. It doesn't matter to me."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but sigh.

After the two of them said something for a while, Zhu Gaoxu took a nap again in a daze, looking at the dripping of the copper pot placed in the bedroom from time to time. He thought that it was almost the fourth day, so he got up and put on his clothes.

Du Qianrui woke up and struggled to get up, but Zhu Gaoxu pressed his shoulder. He whispered: "Qianrui doesn't have to get up. You were very loud last night, do you still remember?"

Du Qianrui's face suddenly flushed.

Zhu Gaoxu said seriously: "Think about the sound, come again during the day." He pushed the wooden bed again, "This bed actually makes a 'gurgling' sound, and Miss Du pushes the bed, which makes it even more like."

After hearing this, she lowered her eyes and nodded with a red face.

Zhu Gaoxu cleaned up for a while and stood in the door for a long time. Hearing the movement outside, Du Qianrui also got up with her clothes. When Zhu Gaoxu opened the door and went out, she closed the door.

He lives in the inner hall yard, the gatehouse is closed, and there are still people on the doorhouse in the outer hall. But this is not a problem for Zhu Gaoxu. He had experience in it, so when he touched the outer hall, he took a high stool tied with a hemp rope to cushion the footsteps, and then climbed over the wall to go out.

There was a small door in the kitchen in the outer courtyard. Zhu Gaoxu went to knock on the door. Wang Gui opened the small door and handed the reins to Zhu Gaoxu: "The prince has a good journey."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, then led his horse out of the door, and walked into a nearby alley without saying a word.

He went out secretly at his home because he suspected that the slaves in this mansion had people with unclear backgrounds. Some people wanted to put eyeliners in like this, which would not be able to deceive Zhu Gaoxu. He must be careful.

When Zhu Gaoxu arrived at Jinchuan Gate, it was already dawn. Before he could wait a while, as soon as the city gate opened, he led his horse out of the inner city and then left the city from the outer Jinchuan Gate.

Go west of Jinchuan Gate, you will be at the mouth of the river where the river converges with the Qinhuai River, with a port and several wharfs.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was riding on his horse and looked back at the capital inadvertently. He saw the first ray of sunshine on the city towers and pavilions. A layer of golden light was reflected on the east side of the classical building. In the darkness, the scenery of the capital became more and more magnificent. Just this glance will make people believe that such a place must have both the pride of governing the world and the graceful and gentle poems.

In this era, the capital of Beiping, which was once the capital of Yuan Dynasty, was indeed far less prosperous than that of the capital.

Once you cross the river, the road to Yangzhou City is less than 200 miles away. Zhu Gaoxu rode a horse and could reach Yangzhou in more than two hours, and even lunch could be eaten in Yangzhou City.

During the Jingnan Campaign, the army had passed through Yangzhou. Zhu Gaoxu led his army to the city but did not enter the city. This was his first time entering Yangzhou City.

The beautiful scenery of Yangzhou is only slightly inferior to the capital. The bustling crowds and the prosperity of trade are beyond Zhu Gaoxu's imagination. The Great Ming civilization established on the ruins of the Yuan Dynasty has shown its strong resilience in just past decades.

Zhu Gaoxu did not ride a horse in the downtown area, so he led the horse to walk. He curiously looked through the viewing window on the street wall and saw the female worker inside working in front of the loom. The makeup and satin hanging on the rope and the gorgeous patterns made Zhu Gaoxu dazzled.

There was a faint sound of silk and bamboo orchestras floating on the street, as well as the fragrance of various foods and flowers. Light red petals flew from time to time in the sky. Zhu Gaoxu reached out to catch a petal, and his mood became very comfortable... If it weren't for something, the party would have been happier today.

He first found a food shop to fill his stomach, and then looked for large brothels everywhere.

The commander of the Jinyiwei Commander Ji Gang only revealed the place name of Yangzhou and the brothels. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't ask too much details. However, it would be good to get these news, otherwise where would you find thousands of cities in the Ming Dynasty?

What Gao Xianning likes is to talk about the famous prostitutes and talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he will definitely not go to Xiaoyao | Zi. Not all ancient prostitutes and girls are of high quality and must be strong merchants to spend money to train girls to learn those skills. The market they face is for guests with wealthy families. And such brothels are also known in Yangzhou City.

Zhu Gaoxu put the news he received recently from Wang Zhenliang and Ji Gang together to think about it, and then he had a guess: Gao Xianning knew where Qi Tai was!

Of course he can't be sure, but he's going to do it before he can.

All afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu wandered among several big brothels, spending money to find a girl to accompany him, getting close to the brothel, and inquire about the situation.

As the hour of You, he chose a brothel and set foot on again. After summarizing the news of his inquiry, Zhu Gaoxu thought that this was the place where Gao Xianning was most likely to come, and a girl named Yun'er mentioned that there was a Shandong accent and a literati dressed in him came every day.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the door again. There was a lobby with pavilions on all sides, the woman's singing voice, the sound of silk and bamboo instruments, and the voices of speech gathered in the lobby, which was very lively.

At this time, the brothel business was blatant, because since Taizu, he could not help but have this business... It will be strictly controlled only after that Emperor Xuande and civil officials think it is indifferent.

The half-old woman in the door greeted her with a smile on her face, and Zhu Gaoxu also smiled: "I wonder if Miss Yun'er is here?"

"Oh, unfortunately, Yun'er was drinking and talking with someone in the room."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "That person is my friend."

The woman did not doubt it, so Zhu Gaoxu went upstairs and went straight to the room opposite the door.

I don’t know if anyone has noticed the scholars from Shandong, but Zhu Gaoxu was sure that the girl named Yuner had seen it. Moreover, the room was in a very good location and you could see the gate even if you sat in the room.

Yun'er's room was not closed. Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door and saw her leaning against a young man, sitting next to a table of wine and food, smiling while pouring wine.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped in, then bowed and said, "Brother Wang, are you fine?"

The young man was stunned for a moment: "I am not the king! Did you recognize the wrong person?"

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

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

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

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

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Since everyone is acquaintances, how about having two drinks together? Another brother is coming soon. He goes from Shandong to the Imperial College in Beijing and passes by Yangzhou. Didn't Miss Yun'er have seen it? Please look at the door and remind me when I come."

"Young Master Hong has made many friends." Yun'er said.

The two of them spoke in words, leaving "Brother Wang" aside. The young man originally asked the girl to talk about his life ideals, but inexplicably, a big man came over and said something silly, and his face was already very unhappy.

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

The young man said, "I said that he is not the king!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I've recognized the wrong person." Zhu Gaoxu took out a few pieces of Daming treasure money and said, "Today's table is mine, please accept it with a smile, Brother Wang."

The young man looked at Yun'er opposite, and Yun'er was smiling. The young man's face was a little red, and he was embarrassed to take the money away from Yun'er, and then said, "I am a greedy person? Tell you, my family has thousands of acres of land, and there are seven or eight shops in Yangzhou! Where did you come from here? I am embarrassing here with two silos of treasure money. How many copper coins are worth now? Haha!"

Yun'er immediately smiled and complimented: "So you are a rich man!"

"Oh! That's awesome!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, and then took out a silver bracelet from his arms and reached out to put it on Yun'er. "When I came here in the afternoon, I didn't even have a gift for the meeting. Don't dislike it, girls."

Yun'er smiled and said, "I am polite here, thank you Mr. Hong."

"How much is silver worth?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "Not to mention seven or eight shops, thousands of acres of land, you can't even buy one acre of land!"

While he said that, he reached into his arms and was about to take out a golden hairpin when "Brother Wang" took action.

"Brother Wang" stood up with a blushing face and said, "I think you are a prodigal son! Ling Zuntang knows, so he won't be angry to death! I have money, why do I sprinkle everywhere?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "My father likes to see me as a prodigal person, so he won't lie to you."

"Brother Wang" walked out of the room angrily.

Yun'er looked at his back with disgust, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu's hand that reached into his arms, and sneered, "It's really boring to say that he has money!"

"No, I lost a silver bracelet." Zhu Gaoxu agreed, stretched out his hand, took out his hairpin, and handed it to Yun'er: "Miss Yun'er, remember to help me see my friend from Shandong."

Yun'er smiled and said in a coquettish voice: "Young Master Hong is generous and asks me to do whatever you want to do tonight."

"If this happens, I can't stand it before it gets dark." Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "I'm hungry, let's use wine and food first."

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

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