"Brother Hong'er is out of the palace this time, but you have to pay extra attention to safety. It is difficult to distinguish between people outside the palace, who is intimate to you and who has ill intentions towards you, you must pay more attention. There is also the degree of clothing, ingredients and water, it is better to send a copy to you in the palace secretly. Alas, that's it, I'm in a hurry. In short, Brother Hong'er will go back to the palace to see, if there are thieves who are not good for you, remember it, don't fight hard. Everything can be handled by your father and queen mother......" Queen Zhou pulled Zhu Cihong and chattered a lot, and her care was overflowing.

Zhu Cihong did not have the stubbornness of a teenager, listened quietly, and responded from time to time, with a warm heart and a sense of urgency in his heart.

This time out of the palace, you must master a group of people, and the matter of money and food is even more urgent. Asking for help in the palace? That is tantamount to announcing surrender, and today I can live in the arms of my father and queen mother, and in two years, who can still protect myself?

Even, in less than two years, the two Ming gravediggers who built slaves abroad in China will accelerate in vain to strangle the hanging rope of the Ming Dynasty after half a year! Zhu Cihong's encouragement aroused Chongzhen's confidence to persevere. Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department who was instructed by Chongzhen in history, may not advocate peace talks anymore?

Even if Chen Xinjia still advocates peace talks, Jiannu will not let go of the Ming Dynasty's flower world, and Songshan and they did retreat. But this autumn, 100,000 Jiannu iron hooves will enter Gyeonggi again to plunder. The last bit of fig leaf in the imperial court was rudely torn off, and the reality of the Ming Dynasty made the world see it clearly.

And also......

I just said that, I'm afraid that there are already many people who are ready to see their jokes!

People in troubled times, as royalty, are lucky and tragic.

Time is running out for me!

Since ancient times, Beijing has been said to be rich in the east and expensive in the west, poor in the south and cheap in the north. The nobles of the court and the central government have always lived in the west of the imperial city, so as to facilitate the office of the upper government office and the emperor to summon them at any time

Today's Governor of the Five Armies, Cao Huayu, the Governor of Zuo, naturally lives in Dashiyongfang, west of the imperial city.

On March 10, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, a young man wearing a square scarf and a robe came out of the back door of the Cao Mansion in Dashi Yongfang. Inside the gate of Caofu, there stood a lonely middle-aged man in full costume, and the middle-aged man said goodbye to the young man, wiping sweat on his forehead. This middle-aged man is Cao Huayu, Cao Huayu never expected that sitting at home behind closed doors, the prince would come up from heaven. And he was given such a strange task.

All of Cao Huayu's wealth comes from Chongzhen's trust in his younger brother Cao Huachun, naturally, when Cao Huachun's heir in the palace Wang Chengen conveyed the meaning of the Son of Heaven, Cao Huayu of course took great pains to complete it.

It's just that the prince's eccentricity really made Cao Huayu hollow out his mind and sneak into the abyss, so that Cao Huayu would treat him as a commoner and give a death order not to spread any news.

In this way, when Zhu Cihong came, he had to disperse all the servants, and when he left, only Cao Huayu was the only one to say goodbye, strangling a little gap in the leakage of news.

With Cao Huayu's handwritten letter, Zhu Cihong took his eldest companion Sien and began his life outside the palace.

Outside the palace, now Zhu Cihong has regained the name of later generations, and now he is a countryman from Qingtuo, the king of Wuqing, and he is the first little scholar who entered Beijing to find a job through the relationship, Qin Xia.

So Si En, who had been called the prince for more than ten years, had to shout young master Qin Xia expectantly.

Jingshi, Dongcheng Clarification Workshop.

Fang Zheng Yan Lu took Qin Xia's guide to look left and right, until he touched the silver hidden under the road guide, and then smiled: "Little brother Qin is looking for a rental house to live in the clarification workshop?" It's easy to say, Yan will find you a tooth, just say that Yan has taken care of it, and he will not let Brother Qin suffer! ”

Yan Fang is a single name and a Lu character, seeing that Qin Xia is so good at things, he felt a little closer in his heart, and said: "Living in the same place, they are all neighbors." The capital is a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, when Qin Xiaoge'er stays, Yan is the east, please leave and right neighbors to celebrate, you can't make others laugh at us The people in the Qingfang don't understand etiquette. ”

Si En's eyelids twitched behind Qin Xia, and he really felt dizzy for the prince's strange interest. The prince of the world actually went to this poor alley to call a grass man a brother.

Looking at Qin Xia's expression, he was still very adaptable, Qin Xia smiled and said: "Fang Zheng is so loving, how can this banquet make Fang Zheng break the bank." Let's invite all the neighbors to a banquet. ”

At this moment, Yan Lu took Qin Xia to the door of a small courtyard, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Brother Liu, it's time for business, the new neighbor Brother Qin wants to find a place to live in our Qingfang, you come out quickly, don't let the new neighbor wait for a long time!" ”

After shouting, Yan Lu took Qin Xia's words and said, "Little Brother Qin is worthy of being a clever person. But the restaurant is too expensive, we have a few neighbors on the left and some cooking skills are quite good, the new courtyard set up a few big tables, and the neighbors eat some wine more lively. ”

"Then according to what Fang Zheng said."

After a while, Liu Lian, the intermediary of the tooth man, walked out. This is an old man who looks to be more than fifty years old, Yan Lu introduced in the play, both sides of the courtesy, Yan Lu instructed, Liu Laohan cowered and turned to ask Qin Xia.

"I like to be quiet, it doesn't matter if it's remote, the place should be spacious, and there are only a dozen people living in two courtyards." After speaking, Qin Xia asked Si En to follow Liu Laohan to see the house.

And Qin Xia chatted with Yan Lu.

"The Jingshi is not very peaceful, the Tartars have entered the customs four times, and there are more people in the Jingshi each time. The southern and northern cities are crowded with refugees. It's just that our clarification workshop is less crowded. Yan Lu opened the conversation.

Qin Xia asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" ”

Yan Lu pointed to the west: "Most of the eunuchs in the west of the city, the senior members of the court and the central government were dismissed, and they either returned to their hometowns in the south or were imprisoned, I don't know how much." There are not many eunuchs in the east of our city, and most of them are rich families. However, the rich are more engaged in business, the world is not peaceful, and the roads are full of bandits, so there are naturally fewer people doing business. Especially when I heard that Liaodong was defeated again, the people of Jingshi were panicked, and there were already seven houses hanging signs for sale this month. In the summer, the merchants who went north with the boats came to Beijing, and I don't know how many abandoned the houses and no longer came, and I don't know how many old houses were for sale. That Liu Laohan's life over the years has been even more sad. ”

Qin Xia couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Isn't it more difficult to find this Jingshi teacher's plan?" ”

Yan Lu nodded: "The big families are naturally worry-free, but the life of the small people is indeed too sad." The Tatars entered Kou Gyeonggi, and the people poured into the capital innumerable, and the places where the workers were hired in the capital were those places, and it was not easy for the natives of the capital to find a job to eat, not to mention that there were so many people fighting for food. Some of the savings can be transferred together, and if they have nothing, they can only sell their children and daughters, just so that their children can have a way to live. By the way, Little Brother Qin has found a job? Do you need Yan to help you ask? ”

As he spoke, Yan Lu looked at Qin Xia with blazing eyes.

This is a trick to get to the bottom of it.
