The sunlight filtered through the window paper sprinkled on the somewhat messy desks and the chairs next to them. Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting there, felt a little stuffy, and felt the spring sunshine early, making people feel warm and a little tired. He pulled out his handkerchief, brushed his sweat-soaked sideburns, and picked up the scarf and hat on the desk.

Ma Enhui roughly tied her clothes and smoothed her hair with her fingers, and she was doing trivial things while silently facing Zhu Gaoxu.

There is more than the smell of tea in the living room, and the air has lost its quiet atmosphere, which seems a little chaotic.

She glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, exhaled weakly, and asked softly, "Will anyone hear it just now?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "There should be no one else in this courtyard." ”

Ma Enhui looked outside in a daze, and said embarrassedly: "The courtyard wall doesn't seem to be high. ”

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu heard some waves coming from the Xuanwu Lake, and said, "Do you hear the sound of the lake?" This wave can interfere with the sound, don't worry. He paused for a moment, and then couldn't help but say, "You just care too much about what other people think." What do others think, and what can they do? ”

Ma Enhui did not answer.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I'm going to meet the Shen family's businessmen now, and I'm going to meet outside the courtyard." Eunhui can go back to the room and clean up slowly. ”

"Holy Lord, wait a minute." Ma Enhui said, and then she got up and walked over to sort out the details on Zhu Gaoxu's robe to make him more tidy.

The two were so close again that Zhu Gaoxu could already feel the temperature of her breath on his neck. Zhu Gaoxu looked down at her and said kindly: "If you want to go back to the palace, we can talk and think of a way to communicate." ”

Ma Enhui said: "Think about it again and again. ”

Zhu Gaoxu repeated his words again: "You just care too much about other people's opinions." ”

Ma Enhui smiled, noncommittal.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly thought of the grievances between Ma Enhui and Yao Ji, and also realized that it seemed that it was not so easy in the palace, so he didn't say much, but said: "It's too late to discuss matters, I'll go first, and I'll come back later." ”

Ma Enhui sent Zhu Gaoxu to the door of the living room.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the side of the dam, stood behind the stone railing, and looked at the sparkling Xuanwu Lake for a while. The lake is very large, and the view on the other side is not very clear as far as you can see, just like the sea. But this is just an illusion, and if you compare it to the sea, it is just a small pond.

He then walked out of a cave door, and immediately a middle-aged woman came forward and curtsied, leading Zhu Gaoxu straight through a corridor and into a house. The eunuch Wang Gui followed from a distance with a few cloth-clothed young people, and only then could Zhu Gaoxu feel their presence.

Shen Xu's should have already arranged it. The middle-aged woman bent down and said, "Son, wait a while, Madame will come soon." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded in response.

It is a small house with blue tiles and white walls built on the edge of the pool, and on the entrance side is a small cloister, like an entrance, and then an embroidered screen is in front of it. Zhu Gaoxu looked at the furnishings in the room, and felt that it was like a study and a living room. There are also several rest rooms on both sides, which are like transepts.

The furnishings on the wooden shelves are also strange, not limited to antique calligraphy and paintings, they are some rare objects from different regions. Zhu Gaoxu also noticed that there was an unprocessed stone on the shelf, and he looked closer for a while to make sure that it was a piece of jadeite rough.

Zhu Gaoxu could feel that Shen Xu was a qualified businessman. She is obsessed with possession of all kinds of wealth, demands full discretion over assets, and is very clear even to her relatives, and does not want them to peep at what belongs to her. No matter how elegant she behaves, her external vanity obviously makes her happy.

And she is obviously not restricted by any etiquette, and collecting these playthings from different cultural backgrounds is just like a cold bystander appreciation. Because Zhu Gaoxu found the Muslim sect and the Nestorian Christian belongings, which were placed on wooden shelves at the same time. The scholars and doctors despised the mercenary and no conviction, and it seemed that they were not very wronged.

After a while, sure enough, Shen Xu's family came. She smiled meaningfully as she walked to the door, and then hurriedly curtsied, "The Holy One has been waiting for a long time. ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and said, "I just arrived here." ”

"What does the Holy Lord think of the concubine's house?" Shen Xu walked over.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "It's very good, it's very quiet." ”

Shen Xu said softly: "In a quiet place, I am afraid that when I throw a stone, it will take a long time for the waves to subside." If there were no stones, it would not be remembered. ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought thoughtfully about her words and looked at her again.

Shen Xu wore a long half-arm tunic with a lower width close to the knees, and the material was soft silk, which was a little more casual and less neat than the skirt, and more gentle and light than those wide robes. Coupled with her weak and muscular body, it is easy to have the illusion that she can do whatever she wants.

Her face was powdered with fat, and the color was more vivid; The few pieces of jewelry on her wrists and hair are also very shiny, and they also match her delicate outfits.

Shen Xu saw Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, she gently avoided her face and showed a hint of a smile.

At this moment, a voice came from the door: "The grass people wait to knock on the saint." ”

I saw that Yao Fang and Xu Caiqi were already kneeling on the side of the screen.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Come in." There is no need to be formal today, otherwise I would have summoned you in the palace, so why meet here? ”

There were coffee tables and chairs on the left and right sides of the room, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't go there to sit. The kind of coffee table is against the wall, and a Taishi chair is placed on each side, which is suitable for two people to sit together.

Near the screen, there is a round table with a round stool. Zhu Gaoxu walked to the north position, sat down, and beckoned the others to take their seats as well.

Yao Fang and Xu Caiqi said one after another: "Thank you for the sitting." ”

At this time, the maid outside brought tea in. First, there was only one cup of tea, which was placed in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and then someone came in with a wooden plate and put tea and dried fruit snacks on it.

Shen Xu was on the side, she was full of interest, and she had always been very interested in Zhu Gaoxu discussing important matters in her place. Zhu Gaoxu later realized that Shen Xu did not want to interfere in politics, but seemed to enjoy sitting at "a certain height" of self-affirmation.

"A few months ago, you said that you would send a monk to your country, what happened?" Zhu Gaoxu looked straight at Yao Fang.

He was the first to talk to Yao Fang, and everyone else understood. Yao Fang belonged to one of the treasurers of the Shen Xu Shang Gang, but he was also a relative of the emperor, which was actually a connection between the merchants and the emperor.

Yao Fang said: "A few monks haven't come back yet, but the merchant ship that sent them has returned to Beijing. He obviously came prepared, and took out a picture from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the round table, "The guardian daimyo of Tsushima Island is the clan of the Zong clan, and the samurai Zhuang Min Zhuangding under his command is probably more than five hundred people in total, and it belongs to the guardian daimyo with very little power. The clan is located on an island outside the country, and its relationship with other daimyo is relatively estranged.

Its walled city is here, holy see, this bay in the southeast corner, near the side of the country. The remnants are concentrated in another bay to the north, and in the shallow thatched bend on the west side of the island. The rest of the island is surrounded by mountains and forests, and there are almost no people. Several bays are also relatively small, and the piers may not be able to accommodate too many warships. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Yao Fang continued: "The place of Iwami is also easy to inquire, on the west coast of the country, not far from the Korean country. But I didn't hear of any silver mines there. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "There must be, it is a big silver mountain, maybe the local daimyo has not mined it." ”

Yao Fang said: "Our merchant ships docked on the territory of the Ouchi clan in Hakata, and the monks all went to Hakata. The grass people had arranged in advance for two people to go to Iwami Province; But now Iwami Province does not belong to the territory of the Ouchi clan, so it still needs to be rotated to open the joints. ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "The Ouchi clan has made friends with your merchant gang?" ”

Yao Fang shook his head and said: "It's not good, it's all copper coins to open the way." It is said that the people of this country need the most is the copper coin of the Ming Dynasty, and its various forces are not unified, the coinage process is very poor, and the casting of copper coins is not very profitable, so it is used to using the money shipped by the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "Can the Ouchi clan guess, do those monks have other plans?" ”

Yao Fang said without hesitation: "Back to the Holy Heavens, I'm afraid they know that the people of our business gang paid someone to take care of them, and the intention is really obvious." Moreover, after meeting with the returnees, the grass people felt that the Ouchi clan had even guessed that we might use force against our own country. ”

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and pondered: Could it be that this Ouchi clan is a Japanese traitor?

Yao Fang said: "The monks of Qingshou Temple went to Boduo to preach Buddhism, and the matter went surprisingly smoothly, and the grass people were also a little surprised. However, this reminded the grass people of the Katsu Ouchi they had met in Geoje Port before. In his words, he seemed to be very disappointed with the chaos in his country, and there was no solution to it. The situation is very unstable, and the situation is very unstable. ”

Yao Fang thought for a while, "At that time, Ouchi Sheng said something, probably saying that I can live well, and one day at a time is one day." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "What is the status of the emperor, and can he spiritually command all countries to unite with the outside world?" ”

Yao Fang said: "Back to the Holy Lord, as far as the ministers know, it seems that it is difficult for the shogun, who holds real power, to lead the countries. The so-called emperor is just a tablet, which is held hostage by various generals and used to decorate the shogunate, and after a war about 20 years ago, it is now the northern and southern emperors who take turns to be puppets. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he felt that the cost of capturing Tsushima Island was getting smaller and smaller. He immediately said: "Our main goal is to try to figure out the relationship between the forces in our own country and occupy Iwami Province at the lowest cost!" In the future, the silver mine was dug up, and the imperial court negotiated with the Shen Xu Shang Gang to divide it. ”

Xu Caiqi immediately said: "The grass people are waiting for the gift of the saint." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Occupy Tsushima Island first, so as to interfere more closely in the country's own affairs." ”
