Chapter 2509 Come Back to Beijing with Me
Like any city in Ming Dynasty, as long as you have money, you can enjoy life anytime.
Atai took Fang Xing to a restaurant with familiarity.
On New Year's Day, not even the waiters could be seen in the restaurant, and the door was tightly closed.
Atai led Fang Xing around to the back door from the side.
After knocking on the door, a waiter yawned and opened the door from the inside. When he saw Atai, he nodded and bowed and said, "Your Highness, are you looking for Xiangxiang? You still miss her on the first day of the new year. You are so devoted!"
Atai said with a straight face, "Call Xiangxiang down, and then call the two women."
This person is interesting, he actually made the decision without asking Fang Xing.
Fang Xing didn't stop him either. He wanted to see how the brothel business in this place developed.
The inertia of inequality between men and women remained the same in the Ming Dynasty, but now in Guangxi and Yunnan, the status of women is gradually rising.
This is the trend transmitted from Cochin, and the women in Guangxi and Yunnan are capable. When they are full of rebellious spirit, the men in the two places are unlucky. Even local officials have complained many times, saying that the women in their jurisdiction are rude and that local education is difficult.
This restaurant has two floors like the structure in the mainland. The first floor is quiet, and the second floor is also quiet.
The waiter raised his head and shouted towards the second floor, "Come down Xiangxiang, two more."
There was no movement in the wing rooms on both sides just now, and then someone shouted, "It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, so we're not afraid of the wind coming soon!"
Atai was about to get angry when a woman's voice came from the second floor, very high-pitched.
"Xiangxiang is in the latrine!"
Fang Xing was speechless.
The waiter glanced at Atai and continued shouting, "The customer is waiting! Ask her if it's a big one or a small one?"
The woman's voice sounded again, "Xiangxiang, I want to ask if you are older or younger."
After a while, the woman burst into laughter, and then gasped, "Xiangxiang said it was big. I asked you if you wanted to eat it after chasing me."
Fang Xing turned around, preparing to go somewhere else to eat, and then he saw Zhong Ding.
And Wang Ji.
Zhong Ding is an old acquaintance, but Wang Ji has only been here in Xinghe for two years.
The guy was not afraid of Atai. When he saw Zhong Ding and Wang Ji calling Fang Xing Uncle Xinghe, he ran away.
"Other places have holidays during the New Year, but we, Xinghe, have never had such a thing. Why don't you, Uncle Xinghe, go to Xiaguan's place?"
Zhong Ding smiled very calmly. From an exiled prisoner to today's top civil servant in Xinghe, his experience has become a legend in the Ming Dynasty.
Fang Xing said, "I'm just here to check things out. It's better to stay in the camp."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and then a group of women swarmed down.
"Your Highness..."
"Master Wang, Master Zhong..."
These women were greeting each other in half-baked Ming dialect.
Fang Xing frowned slightly and said, "Change the place."
…
Then Fang Xing, accompanied by them, inspected the inside and outside of Xinghe City, and even went to Atai's place to talk cordially with the herdsmen.
"Now everyone has money. Uncle, we don't have to worry about buying the cattle and sheep we raise here. The caravan will also bring us the things we need. Now we don't want to go to the Central Plains."
A simple herdsman took Fang Xing around his cattle and sheep pen, and then cordially invited Fang Xing and others to have dinner at his house.
Fang Xing agreed, and the herdsman was as excited as a child. He ran back madly, kicked his mother-in-law out to buy groceries, and kicked his three children out. In the end, Fang Xing held him back and stopped. He resisted the urge to kill the cow.
The tent has complete living facilities and is basically like a home.
"Don't get the milk, get the wine."
Zhong Ding went out to work for a while, and when he came back he smelled of blood.
"I just put a sheep over, and I was going to kill a few more. I wanted to use the tenderest parts to entertain you, but the official stopped me."
Fang Xing said to Atai, "I have already felt the enthusiasm. Tell them that we are friends and brothers."
Atai stood up and said, "Yes."
"The Ming Dynasty's presence here will continue to extend."
Fang Xing set the tone first.
"After solving the alliance of Roufan and Halie, the Ming army will continue to explore towards the north until the end of the world."
He glanced at Atai and continued, "Xinghe will become the rear area. Your Highness, before this trip, His Majesty was thinking about you here to appease the Tatar tribe for the Ming Dynasty for many years. He has already agreed to your request to settle in Peiping. He will be here later." Come back to Beijing with me."
Atai's face turned pale instantly, and then returned to normal.
The atmosphere gradually became a little dull.
After a while, a hot pot was brought in, with mutton bones tumbling inside and fresh mutton slices piled high on the plate.
The mutton was so good that even the dipping water contained fermented bean curd, which made Fang Xing take a second look at Atai.
Zhong Ding did not have the enthusiasm to welcome Shangguan, because he would never be able to leave here until his death.
Then all this was arranged by Atai.
This is a nice person. If everything is stable in Daming now, Fang Xing even thinks that they can be friends.
But now it doesn't work.
Later, Chen Mo asked for a meeting and brought a messenger.
"His Majesty has given instructions for you to return to Beijing immediately."
The messenger turned out to be a eunuch, which made Fang Xing's eyes look colder.
"But has the capital changed?"
He had even thought about where to mobilize his troops, and then went straight to the capital city to suppress the rebels.
The eunuch was startled by the murderous intent in Fang Xing's eyes and hurriedly said, "Uncle Xinghe, it's nothing. His Majesty just said that His Highness the Crown Prince should learn something."
Fang Xing looked at Chen Mo. Chen Mo shook his head slightly, indicating that he had asked but to no avail.
"Let's eat."
The eunuch was walking fast, and his white and tender face was covered with cuts, as well as his hands. He looked very miserable.
After sitting down, he first drank a bowl of mutton soup, and then said with a wry smile, "Our family got sick on the road. Before I recovered, I hurried on the road for fear of missing out. Now I drank a bowl of soup and felt alive." "
Atai said very discerningly that he was going to the latrine, and then Wang Ji also went out, but Fang Xing left Zhong Ding behind.
"What's going on in the capital?"
When Zhong Ding heard Fang Xing ask this question, he lowered his head in embarrassment. He felt that Fang Xing was testing his agility.
The eunuch put down his chopsticks and said, "Uncle Xinghe, nothing happened in the capital. It's just that your Majesty took His Highness out of the palace that day. His Highness saw the soldiers who were changing defenses and setting off and cried hard when they said goodbye to their families. He felt a little uncomfortable and said that he would not fight in the future. The army was all disbanded."
Fang Xing covered his forehead and said, "These are just childish words. Does your Majesty still take it seriously?"
The eunuch sighed and said, "There were many people around at that time, and His Highness's voice was not quiet and was heard."
Fang Xing understood and said, "So what if it spreads out? Do those people really regard these words as His Highness's future views?"
The eunuch said with a grimace, "Our family doesn't know this, but there is some movement in the palace, saying that Your Highness may have some benevolence as a woman..."
Zhong Ding stood up suddenly, interrupted him, and then said to go to the toilet.
Fang Xing nodded, and after he left, the eunuch smiled and said, "If he doesn't leave, our family will have to have people from the East Factory keep an eye on him."
"Say it."
Fang Xing frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was really unlucky, but the main responsibility lies with Zhu Zhanji.
If you can keep a safe distance around you when you go out, who will hear what Corn said?
He could imagine the sensation caused by the recognition of the emperor and the prince. In the chaos, countless people took the opportunity to get those words, and then began to spread them outside.
"His Majesty was furious and punished a group of people, but His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation is somewhat..."
"Is it ingrained?"
The eunuch nodded, and Fang Xing said, "Then refute those people with facts!"
