In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Cihong prepared a few questions for the Enke Hall test.

I saw Wu Zhong come in mysteriously, and said softly: "Emperor, the slave has already checked her details!" ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Whose bottom is it?" ”

Wu Zhong thought that the emperor was embarrassed, gave a knowing look, and said, "It's your brother Yu Xian!" ”

"Oh....."

Zhu Cihong let out a long sigh, and suddenly came to his senses: "You have a heart, talk about it!" ”

Wu Zhong's spirit was bright, and he said slowly: "This Miss Xu, her name is indeed Xu Chenyun, she is eighteen years old this year, and she is the daughter of Xu Haitai, a maritime merchant in Ningbo, Zhejiang, you have seen him before. ”

"Xu Haitai?"

Zhu Cihong gradually got some impressions, that Zhejiang maritime merchant is a figure, often travels to and from Nanyang and Taixi countries, has a certain understanding of Europe, talks well, and is very politically conscious, and took the initiative to provide hundreds of thousands of taels of silver medicinal materials to help the imperial court fight the plague.

"I didn't expect that I would have met Guozhang early, fate!" Zhu Cihong said with emotion.

Before the big wedding, even the national lord was called, and Wu Zhong's cognition of the emperor's cheekiness has once again improved to a higher level.

Zhu Cihong suddenly said, "Why haven't I seen her in the first place?" ”

According to age, Xu Chenyun was fourteen years old at the time, and Xu Haitai, as a businessman, hid such a treasure at home, shouldn't he take the initiative to create an unexpected encounter?

Wu Zhong smiled and said: "When there was a riot between the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan, Xu Haitai supported the new policy and commercial taxes, fearing that he would be excluded and attacked, so he moved his family from Ningbo Mansion to the ancestral house in Nanjing in advance, and Miss Xu stayed in Nanjing City. ”

Zhu Cihong muttered: "It's a good family......"

(The specific introduction of the heroine's family is in chapter 484 of this book, which is buried for three months..... ）

Wu Zhong continued: "Xu Haitai is a good talker, highly educated, well-informed, and knows a lot of Chinese dialects, Miss Xu has been influenced by her father since she was a child, loves to read, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, knows seven Chinese dialects, and has been to Taixi ...... once."

"Huh??"

Zhu Cihong was extremely shocked in her heart, she didn't expect that this great beauty was still a talented woman who had gone abroad, it was not simple!

With both beauty, talent, and knowledge, this woman must not let go!

Zhu Cihong secretly made up his mind and began to plan the battle.

In this operation, there were no reinforcements, no praise paintings, and no forwards, and the Chinese army was directly pressed and decisive!

Zhu Cihong was still very satisfied with Wu Zhong's understanding, and said with a smile: "Wu Daban has a heart, but this matter cannot be forced, nor can it be publicized, I will go out in person!" ”

Wu Zhong smiled playfully and said, "The slave understands, and it can be seen that Miss Xu still has a good impression of Your Majesty." ”

That's nature!

According to the records of precious historical materials such as "Golden Vase Plum", Zhu Cihong knows that all kinds of feudal thoughts, ethics and morals of women in this era have reached the peak of perfection.

Although the women of this period were somewhat open, it was the most docile, tame, and virtuous period of all dynasties.

As long as you touch their hands and kiss their mouths, they will not marry you, and it is easy to get started......

It can be said that you can get out of the hall, enter the kitchen, you can't fight back and scold and don't fight back, you are a noble lady in the hall, you are a smart woman in the kitchen, and you are a ......

It can be said that the men of the Ming Dynasty were the happiest men in all dynasties!

After the beginning of spring, Zhu Cihong became busier and included the big plan of picking up girls in the national policy.

This is not a child's play, the big wedding, not only the emperor and the queen mother are urging, but also the officials of the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, they are also asked about the case every once in a while.

The generals in the army are even more anxious, and the inheritance of the heirs is related to the interests of all the people of the interest group headed by Zhu Cihong, and the issue of the national capital is too important.

If there are no heirs for a long time, not to mention being suspected of having any personal reasons for the emperor, it will also shake people's hearts and reduce cohesion.

A few days later, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing, which made people feel very comfortable.

Under Wu Zhong's arrangement, Zhu Cihong and Xu Chenyun met inadvertently.

Zhu Cihong was very generous in his own Jinjiang Star Restaurant, and invited the men's "Yu Chen Gongzi".

Women who have not yet left the pavilion can only play without scruples in the big festival of the Flower Dynasty Festival, although they can usually go out to travel with their friends, but it is not convenient to meet with men alone.

In the circle of Daming cultural people, there is an act called "borrowing books".

Unlike the Internet in later generations, a bunch of relevant information can jump out of a search on the Internet, and it is not easy for Ming literati to read, and it is even more difficult to read the whole book.

Some good book people often exchange books with other people to read, and usually a book is borrowed from time to time in their own circle, as are some women who read well.

Because she had already learned that the other party was a woman, it was inconvenient for Zhu Cihong to ask her out, even if she was cheeky about it, Xu Chenyun might not necessarily come out, she could only meet in the name of borrowing books.

In a private room on the third floor of Jinjiang Inn Restaurant, the environment is elegant and clean, and the atmosphere is high-end.

Zhu Cihong took out a few books from the palace, which immediately caused Xu Chenyun's surprise.

Is the collection of books in the palace mortal? Most of them are the only ones in the world, and Zhu Cihong has performed a textbook-like pickling technique - to do what he likes.

Although the food at Jinjiang Inn is delicious, how can it be compared to chatting with the beauty, this is the real beautiful food.

A table of dishes was cheap, and Wu Zhong, Xu Sheng and the maid Qiuyue were accompanying them.

Especially the maid Qiuyue, she had long heard about the sumptuous and delicious food on the third floor of Jinjiang Inn, and she had never had a chance to come, but today she finally seized the opportunity, and she was very excited in her heart, and she felt more and more that this Zhu Gongzi was pleasing to the eye.

In the cultural exchange, Xu Chenyun, who was originally a little restrained, gradually relaxed and began to become active.

When Zhu Cihong chatted with this talented woman, she was still under some pressure, the reputation of the first talented woman in the capital was not blown, and she was quite high in classical literature.

The two somehow chatted about the newspaper, and Xu Chenyun was full of praise for the "Huangming Times" of the Ministry of Rites, saying that although the things on it were miscellaneous.

Xu Chenyun exclaimed: "Although the content on the "Huangming Times" is miscellaneous, it covers a wide range of topics, and the vernacular is easy to understand, I really don't know how the saint thought of it that day." ”

was suddenly praised, and Zhu Cihong was overjoyed.

I only heard Xu Chenyun say again: "Since listening to Zhu Gongzi's remarks on the Flower Dynasty Festival, I have an idea in my heart to start a newspaper......

"Start a newspaper?"

Zhu Cihong was slightly shocked in his heart, and secretly said that he was worthy of being born in a wealthy businessman family, and he started a business directly, this business acumen is novel!

However, the following words made Zhu Cihong really impressed.

Xu Chenyun's idea of founding the newspaper is not to make a profit, but to be a newspaper specifically for overseas, mainly to publish the overall situation of the world, so that the people of Daming can know more about the world.

The content of the publication will focus on reporting on the overseas Western colonizers, understanding their movements and crimes, and at the same time, the development history of European countries will also be published one after another, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can clearly understand the world and work hard.

She said: "The current Ming Dynasty is a bit old-fashioned, heavy, lacking enterprising, and lacking pioneering ambition. ”

"Before Your Majesty ascended the throne, most of the subjects were pretentious, claiming to be a great country and a state of etiquette!"

"I lack understanding of the outside world, and many scholars think that the outside is a barbarian land, but those barbarian places, in the eyes of Westerners, are full of inexhaustible wealth!"

"Just like the rising Netherlands, their East India Company's ships and men are all over the world, and all the maritime merchants have heard of their names!"

"Well said!"

Zhu Cihong stroked his palms and appreciated, as if he had met a confidant, he said: "Compared to the Ming Dynasty, Spain's territory is only a small country, but they can dominate the world because of their developed navigation technology and the accumulation of a lot of capital and wealth through the sea!" ”

"The scholars of the Ming Dynasty only seek fame and the title of the gold list, but how can these people be named after the title of the gold list? The concept is outdated and conservative, I don't know how to forge ahead, and I stick to a corner! ”

"It turns out that Zhu Gongzi has such a deep understanding of the West!"

Xu Chenyun's face was surprised, her eyes showed a strange brilliance, what she was most worried about was playing the piano to the cow, after all, it was too difficult to expect an ordinary officer to understand this.

Zhu Cihong said indifferently: "I understand a little, the foolish brother is very supportive of the idea of the virtuous brother to start a newspaper, if the virtuous brother has any needs, just ask!" ”

......

The good times always pass so quickly, and the time of the day seems to pass much faster than before, and it is fleeting, and both sides go back to their respective homes.

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Cihong was thinking about preparing for the draft......
