Zhu Xiuyuan, who was bathing and changing clothes, was about to go to bed, but he was about to turn off the lights, but a servant came outside the house and reported, "Brother, Prince Zhenze and Prince Poyang are visiting..."

The prince of King Zhenze is Liu Wencai, and the prince of King Poyang is the "knight" Liu Xun.

This morning, Liu Wencai was "captured" by his father and came to the capital, and Liu Xun also followed him.

But they didn't expect that tonight, they will gather in the capital again!

"Welcome two distinguished guests into the front hall and serve incense tea, and I will arrive later!"

Zhu Xiuyuan changed his clothes while giving instructions to the servant outside the house.

"Yes, uncle!" The servant stepped back.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Xiuyuan walked out of the house and rushed to the front hall.

The reason why it took so long was because Zhu Xiuyuan was born and was about changing his clothes.

"Today I should bring Qiuwen together..."

Zhu Xiuyuan muttered and walked all the way to the front hall.

Although the Jiangcheng Bo Mansion is large, the main house is very close to the mansion gate, and the reception of guests and things are usually carried out in the main house, so Zhu Xiuyuan soon came to the front hall.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu!" Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and bowed to Liu Wencai and Liu Xun respectively.

"Brother! Haha, since I left after rafting on the river yesterday, I have been promoted to Jiangcheng Boss! It's a happy congratulations!"

Liu Wencai still looked the same, wearing a Confucian shirt, tall and thin, with a folding fan inserted behind his neck that leaned forward slightly.

"Brother Jiang Cheng!" Liu Xun seemed distant and bowed his hand lightly. His face was like iron, and he would not laugh at him.

Zhu Xiuyuan knew the temperament of the prince of Poyang. He had such a personality. In fact, Liu Xun was able to come here to illustrate his intentions.

"Two distinguished guests, why are you here? Please sit down, please sit down."

"Brother Zhu, it is a great joy to be granted the title of Jiangcheng Bo. Liu and I came to send gifts and congratulate you."

Liu Wencai waved his hand. Dozens of servants had already brought in dozens of servants to pick up gifts, and a gift list was handed over to Yan Dashan behind Zhu Xiuyuan.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Come on, hurry up and prepare a table of delicious food and wine. Today I will be with my two brothers Liu and never return without getting drunk!"

"Yes, Master!" A servant from the Bo Mansion took the order and left.

"Brother Zhu, no need to worry, no need to worry!"

Liu Wencai stopped the servant, his smile on his face became even more serious, and he became a little vulgar.

He smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, let's put this wedding banquet for the new official to take office for the time being. Brother Zhu, I and Daxia Liu are half a native of the capital, and half a local."

"Brother Zhu is here for the first time. It should be that the two of us locals invited Brother Zhu to drink. The so-called "total friendship between the landlords, haha, Liu Daxia, do you think so?"

"yes!"

Liu Xun was very straightforward and cherished his words as much as gold.

"Well, it makes sense!" Zhu Xiuyuan nodded, "But it's too late today, so why not tomorrow..."

"It's not too late, it's not too late. It's dark and the lights are bright. Besides, Brother, your residence is in a good place. We can arrive in less than half a quarter of an hour!"

"Brother Zhu, let's go. Let me, half of the locals, take you to experience the night market in Beijing. There is no such lively in Jiangzhou. Please..."

"Since Brother Liu invites you warmly, I'm disrespectful!"

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately prepared a carriage and horses. Zhu Xiuyuan, Liu Wencai, and Liu Xun rode a carriage together, Yan Dashan followed him along with the servants from Jiangcheng Bo Mansion and the generals from Zhenze Prince's Mansion.

A large group of people, starting from Jiangcheng Bo Mansion and heading east along Xufu Street.

After walking for a while, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly heard the noise of people outside the carriage, so he hurriedly lifted the side curtain and looked out.

As soon as we saw people coming and the lights were shining. At this time, the carriage was passing through a bridge. Zhu Xiuyuan saw the three words "Wende Bridge" from a stone tablet.

"Brother Liu, where are we going?"

Zhu Xiuyuan put down the side curtain and stared at Liu Wencai with a bright look.

"Haha, brother, a good place, let's go to a good place!"

Liu Wencai slapped the folding fan in his hand, mysterious and smiling in a lewd way.

Liu Xun was still moving in the carriage, holding his hands in his chest and holding a big knife, turning a deaf ear to the conversation between Liu Wencai and Zhu Xiuyuan.

"A good place? Could it be the Qinlou Chu Pavilion on the banks of the Qinhuai River?" Zhu Xiuyuan was sure.

"Hey, Brother Zhu, do you understand?" Liu Wencai was very surprised.

"I won't go, I won't go anymore, I'll go home!"

Zhu Xiuyuan secretly scolded him for making bad friends in his heart. He probably had many troubles when he went there. He had seen many such plots!

"Hey, brother..."

Liu Wencai grabbed Zhu Xiuyuan and pressed him tightly, "Brother Zhu, you and I are both scholars, how can you not go to a elegant place to have fun..."

"What's more, Brother Zhu, you are known as "unparalleled in poetry and talent" and "Sima, Jiangzhou, is a good poetic talent". If you have such a reputation, it would be a pity if you don't make a name for yourself in that elegant place..."

"Brother Zhu, the one who comes is a guest, and I and Daxia Liu are half of the host here. Since ancient times, guests will follow the host. Besides, Brother Zhu, you have agreed to attend the banquet!"

"Brother, I believe that with your poetic talent, you will be able to show your style in that elegant place..."

...

"Okay, OK, OK!"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled helplessly, "Brother Liu, can't I go? You let go first, my hands will be numb..."

Zhu Xiuyuan grinned. His damn body was too weak. Sadly, his plan to practice martial arts and fitness was never implemented and was delayed by various things.

As a result, he couldn't even beat Liu Wencai...

"Haha, that's right!"

Liu Wencai smiled awkwardly.

He said excitedly: "Brother Zhu, I will tell you that the place we went this time is called 'Huamanlou'. At the last time of the 50th birthday party of Wang Uncle Wang in Poyang, Kou Wanwan and other dancers, all from Huamanlou..."

Liu Wencai talked endlessly and "popularized" Zhu Xiuyuan.

Zhu Xiuyuan was moving his wrists and listened without comment.

Not long after, the carriage stopped on Chaoku Street and everyone got off and walked.

After Zhu Xiuyuan got off the car, he turned around and saw that he had actually been here once. The night before he first entered the palace to meet the saint, he had visited Dong Shuzhen and Dong Shuyu and the others.

"Brother Zhu, go here."

Liu Wencai seemed to be afraid that Zhu Xiuyuan would take the opportunity to run away, so he came over to hold his arms and lead the way.

This place is indeed very prosperous, with crowds and bright lights. The commercial pedestrian streets in later generations are only at this level.

Liu Wencai pulled Zhu Xiuyuan and turned into an alley called "Pipa Lane". After walking for a short while, a four-story building was already close to him.

The golden sign with the three big characters "Huamanlou" is hung high.

The entire four-story building is decorated with lanterns and is full of lanterns. It is really beautiful on this night.

There are people coming in and out of the three open doors, and those who come in and out are extremely dressed and look like rich people.

After entering the building, Liu Wencai put on his full gift and rewarded him with a gold ingot. The woman in charge of the reception wanted to call him his father.

Liu Wencai is a regular visitor here. It was Zhu Xiuyuan and Liu Xun and others who came here for the first time, so the whole process was arranged by Liu Wencai.

Finally, the three of them entered a place on the third floor, which looked like a "small theater". Someone performed singing and dancing on it, and there were several tables of audience members below, drinking and having fun while enjoying the singing and dancing.

Yan Dashan stayed on the second floor, and Liu Wencai arranged for him to go to see a "big show", which also had food and drink, but there were more audiences.

The singing and dancing of Hua Manlou is indeed good, with a melodious sound, a graceful figure, and a rich and mesmerizing person. It is easy for people to be intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

After drinking dozens of glasses of wine, everyone was slightly drunk.

There is another person who said that he was the "King of Jiangning County" and the prince of Jiangning County, who was the prince of His Majesty the current dynasty.

The three of them came over drunk, and the enemies met and were extremely jealous.

Somehow, Liu Wencai, Liu Xun and others started fighting with the three of them.

Because when I was in Jiangzhou, Zhu Xiuyuan formed a bond with Zhang Ke, Luo Ding and others at the 50th birthday party of King Poyang.

They were instigated by the rebel Xue Yuan and wanted to save Zhu Xiuyuan's face at the poetry meeting.

But in the end, Zhu Xiuyuan successfully resolved it, which made Zhang Ke and Luo Ding lose hundreds of thousands of taels!

Zhang Ke and Luo Ding lost the position of poetic master, lost face in front of Kou Wanwan, and made a bet to lose hundreds of thousands of taels.

In their opinion, this is a great humiliation!

In addition, I got drunk again, and I started to make trouble with it...

In an instant, the "small theater" was in chaos. The tables and chairs were flipping, the vegetables were flying, the singing and dancing girls screamed and howled endlessly, while the rest of the audience fled from here in panic.

"Who is so bold that he dares to make trouble in Huamanlou!"

Suddenly, a loud shout exploded. Although it was a woman's voice, its power was still very powerful, like a thunderclap. The chaos in this "little theater" stopped immediately.

Everyone stopped and looked at the place where the sound came.
