In the city of Nanjing, Zhu Cihong had already issued an order to prepare for a southern tour of Fujian.

In recent days, when the Imperial Forest Army and the dragon boat were preparing, Zhu Cihong frequently summoned and selected some ministers who accompanied him, and arranged the governance tasks of Dongfan after the war clearly.

Hearing the news of the southern tour, the Empress Dowager Zhou hurried over and complained about the draft wedding.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Don't worry, the queen mother, everything is going on as usual, the war in the east will not last long, and it will be time for the wind to blow, and I will get married when I come back." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was relieved and went to arrange it with joy.

As soon as the Empress Dowager Zhou left on the front foot, Wu Zhong came on the back foot, and said to Zhu Cihong mysteriously: "Emperor, Miss Xu wants to see you." ”

"See me? What's up? ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned, Xu Chenyun took the initiative to ask to see him for the first time, could it be that she found out the clue above?

Wu Zhong smiled and said, "Don't worry, didn't you tell Miss Xu before, are you an officer and student of the Huangming Military Academy, or a praise painting walking in the palace?" ”

"Now that the people know that the Son of Heaven is going to tour south of Fujian and personally supervise the war, Miss Xu may be worried that Zhu Gongzi will also go to the front line with him, so she wants to see your ......."

Zhu Cihong nodded silently, feeling that what Wu Zhong said made sense, before the southern tour, he should say goodbye to his fiancée first......

"Wu Daban, do you think she sees any clues? Should I tell her who I am? ”

Zhu Cihong was worried that in the future, Xu Chenyun would know her identity, and she would complain and be estranged.

"The emperor is the king of a country, how can his identity be easily revealed?"

Wu Zhong smiled and said, "Emperor, if you tell Miss Xu now, it will only make her uncomfortable and alienated under awe......"

Zhu Cihong felt that it made sense, and pondered for a moment and said: "After all, she is everyone's lady, and she often meets with a man, so her reputation is not good......"

In the past, Xu Chenyun and Zhu Cihong saw each other in men's clothes, but in recent times, they have not disguised themselves, and they face them directly with women, which shows that she has fallen in love with Zhu Cihong.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong decided to give someone an explanation.

On the street of the flower market, the flow of people is endless, and the flow of businessmen can be seen everywhere.

Zhu Cihong took Wu Zhong to the "Commonwealth Times" newspaper, which was a joint venture between him and Xu Chenyun.

"Tianxia Times" focuses on foreign and diplomatic reports, and is sensitive to international major reports, with more serious content and more analytical manuscripts, and the content on the front page often reflects the views of the imperial court.

The newspaper draws on nearly 100 kinds of ancient and modern materials from China and abroad, systematically introduces the geographical, historical, and political conditions of Western countries in stages, including the climate, products, trade, and religion of each country, and displays maps of various countries in the world.

It enables the people of the Ming Dynasty to cross national borders, understand new things, and stimulate interest and exploration overseas.

Of course, it also includes the bloody colonization of many places by Western colonizers, mainly against a few bandits around the Ming Dynasty.

When this newspaper first came out, it immediately caused a great sensation, especially with the help of the propaganda of the three major newspapers "Huangming Times", "Jiangnan Xinbao" and "Jinling Times", more and more learned people who knew about overseas contributed articles.

Halfway through, Zhu Cihong met the funny brother-in-law Xu Bohan.

After a cordial greeting, Xu Bohan suddenly came over and asked, "Sister-in-law, have you ever been to Meixianglou?" ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at him and said, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I just arrived in Nanjing, and I heard a few new friends say that the Meixianglou by the Qinhuai River is good, not only girls, but also girls of all colors, I want to see the world." Xu Bohan said with great interest.

Zhu Cihong looked surprised, and secretly said that this kid could not be specially sent by his sister to test me, right?

"Sister-in-law, how can I hook up with the top girl in Meixianglou, you can give me a trick, I want to try it with some friends." Xu Bohan leaned closer and asked in a low voice, for fear that others would hear.

He added: "You can even handle such a difficult thing as my sister, and your strength must not be underestimated......

Zhu Cihong glanced at him, and said earnestly: "Who did you learn from at a young age, it's better to go to that kind of place less......"

The young man naturally couldn't listen to this kind of persuasion, Xu Bohan leaned in and said, "Sister, why don't you take me there, let me see the world, I promise not to tell my sister." ”

"I won't go to that kind of place anymore....... Zhu Cihong shook his head.

"So you used to go a lot, don't be afraid of any rumors, if something happens, I'll testify for you!" Xu Bohan patted his chest and reassured.

Zhu Cihong was really speechless, this brother-in-law is not only a joke, but also very good, how could he take the initiative to drag his brother-in-law to that kind of place?

He said earnestly: "Brother, the current Meixianglou has been reduced to a place that only looks at the material, as a righteous gentleman, who is going to run anywhere?" It's vulgar! ”

Xu Bohan was very dissatisfied, his face showed disdain, and muttered: "I admit that I often go, and I still pretend to be a decent gentleman in front of me....."

Zhu Cihong glared at him and said, "What are you muttering?" ”

Xu Bohan smiled, got closer, hugged Zhu Cihong and said, "Sister-in-law, have you heard of the four irons in life?" It's to go through the same window together, get injured together, prostitute together, and share the spoils together! What is our relationship now, you have to weigh it carefully......"

Zhu Cihong slapped him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, stay around, I still have something to do with your sister!" ”

"You're so boring!" Xu Bohan brushed his sleeves away, very unhappy.

Zhu Cihong was speechless again, this funny brother-in-law is simply the best fighter jet!

However, after a while, Xu Bohan went and returned, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, since you don't go, can you lend me some silver." ”

Zhu Cihong's expression moved, and said: "You are a dignified Xu family, the future head of the Xu family, and there are millions of taels of silver in the family, why do you still play the trick of borrowing money?" ”

"Sister-in-law, you don't understand, when I was a child, there was a senior monk in Jiming Temple who told me my fortune, saying that I was born to be a master of gathering wealth!" Xu Bohan said with a smug face.

Zhu Cihong glanced at him and said, "Isn't this good?" Where are you making your fortune now? ”

Xu Bohan said seriously: "The senior monk told me that if a talented person like me wants to be rich and noble for a lifetime, he needs to live a hard life when he is young, until he meets a noble person in his fate, and he can soar to 90,000 miles like a big kun......

Zhu Cihong interrupted him and said, "So, I am the noble person in your life? ”

Xu Bohan shook his head and said, "I don't know, so I want to test you if you are a noble person in my destiny." ”

"How?"

"Nobleman, naturally he is a rich man, and he is a person who is willing to help me......"

He looked at Zhu Cihong with a sincere face.

Zhu Cihong took out a stack of silver tickets, stuffed them in his arms, and said with a frown: "Hurry up!" ”

"Okay, sister-in-law!"

Xu Bohan took the silver ticket and went away happily.

“......”

Zhu Cihong completely lost his temper, shook his head and walked away.
