The spring sunshine is like a girl from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, making Zhu Qi feel comfortable and relaxed.

However, Zhu Di's quick footsteps interrupted Zhu Qi's reluctance.

"Third brother and third brother! You've got rich!"

Zhu Qi poked his head out of the quilt and saw Zhu Di running over hurriedly. The inner officer behind him was panting and unable to keep up.

Zhu Qi sat up from the bed, and the palace maid next to him came to help Zhu Qi put on his clothes. Looking at his strong figure in the bronze mirror, Zhu Qi couldn't help but sigh that he had such a good waist and didn't know which girl he wanted to get.

Zhu Di walked over there and said happily:

"Brother Third! It just opened yesterday. Can you guess how much silver our entertainment center has earned!"

Zhu Qi knew it, but in order to cooperate with the happy Zhu Di, he still yawned while saying:

"How many?"

Zhu Di exaggeratedly slapped:

"Shopkeeper He calculated last night and earned 500 taels a day! After removing the cost of miscellaneous things, he could earn more than 200 taels. Third brother, if we make such a profit every day, we can get back the capital in less than a month!"

Manager He is the one who Zhu Qi found to manage the Royal Entertainment Center.

"This is a good thing, let everyone continue to work hard."

Zhu Qi had already put on his clothes and continued while walking out:

"By the way, how are the training of crosstalk actors going?"

Zhu Di followed Zhu Qi and reported like a young follower:

"Don't worry, Brother Third, I'll arrange for Manager He to keep an eye on it. Everything goes well. It's just that you want to reach the level you said in third brother, and it may take some time."

Zhu Qi waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, I've been looking for one of the best actors in Yingtian Mansion. If they can't even say this crosstalk well, it's hard for others to say it."

"Third brother said that."

Zhu Di finished speaking happily, then looked around and gave Zhu Qi a look.

Zhu Qi came over and coughed twice, saying:

"You all retreat."

"yes."

The internal officials did not think much and quickly retreated to the distance. At this time, Zhu Qicai asked in a low voice:

"Have the clothes brought?"

Zhu Di nodded and said:

"San brother, I brought it, right in the carriage. Let's change our clothes and go directly to Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Zhu Qi understood it, but after thinking about it, he added:

"It was reported that this Xiaoxiang Pavilion had to wear a robe many days ago, and it was only now that the day was set. What was this called? This is called hunger marketing. As the saying goes, there is a heaven beyond the sky, and there are people outside the sky. Don't be proud and complacent just because we have good results in opening and earning some money. This time, we go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion mainly to learn other people's marketing methods. Do you know?"

Zhu Di nodded vigorously, with a serious expression on his face: "This is natural, I must show her inside and outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion!"

"Well, that's the reason."

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, he stepped out and walked outside. Zhu Di followed. At this time, the two brothers were full of righteousness.

However, as soon as they left, a note was handed over to the Imperial Study room.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood at this time because of the great victory in the northern war and Zhu Qi's recent excellent performance. After opening the note, he showed that he saw the first message.

"The Royal Entertainment Center opened and its business was booming. People talked about "Mingshanhe" and learned that it was not easy to find the Ming Dynasty..."

After reading some information, Zhu Yuanzhang was also in a good mood.

The biggest reason why Zhu Qi was able to open the Royal Entertainment Center was that he could also allow official institutions to print comics. In addition to the support of Prince Zhu Biao, the biggest reason was Zhu Yuanzhang's approval. Without Zhu Yuanzhang nodding, do you think the comics with Lao Zhu as the male lead could be released?

Which printing master dared to print such comic books after eating Xiong Xin Leopard?

Now that he saw that the people responded well, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved. Looking at the information under the note, most of the information recorded the reactions of the people, his smile became even more evident.

But seeing the following information, his smile gradually disappeared.

"The King of Liao Zhu Qi and the King of Yan Zhu Di changed their guard clothes and went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with light clothes. It is said that today is the day when the courtesan of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is selected as the guest of the curtain."

The inner official next to him was shocked. He thought that something was wrong, but when he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, he could not see any sorrow and joy. Instead, he thought about it for a while, and stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back.

The inner official hurriedly followed and listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's order:

"Change me in casual clothes, prepare a carriage, and go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang said that, he raised his legs and walked out, then thought for a while and said:

"Wait a minute, call Song Lian, Li Shanchang, Xu Da and the others to me and go together."

The officials in the inner world were stunned. The emperor went to the brothel and called on the minister to go with him?

……………………

Yingtian, Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Although the Royal Entertainment Center has officially opened, it has just been open for one day, so it is not realistic to affect the sound of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

What's more, men are creatures that have both seafood and bear's paws. They really hope to do four things every day, three meals a day.

Today's Xiaoxiang Pavilion is as well organized as before.

Zhu Qi and Zhu Di had already changed their clothes to ordinary people, and followed five guards following the usual practice. After more than ten days of coming, even the madam knew Zhu Qi and Zhu Di. When he saw that these two young masters who spent a lot of money had arrived, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Today is the day when the courtesan Shi Xuaner hangs out clothes. Even the money for making tea is twice as expensive. If you want to go upstairs and book a private room, the price will be at least fifty taels. There may not be a room, so you will be given priority to regular customers.

Fortunately, Zhu Qi and Zhu Di were both regular customers of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. They followed the madam all the way upstairs and ordered some stir-fry dishes and a bottle of rice wine. Zhu Qi was so smart that he didn't drink soy wine anymore. He was too strong to resist.

Not long after, the girls came, one by one, pouring wine that should be poured, picking vegetables that should be picked up, and playing the flute that should be played.

It was also very lively outside. The talented man from this academy came to support him and brought great works of poetry. A turtle man sang a poem loudly with a loud voice, which attracted a burst of shouting. There was another wealthy man over there who gave him 200 taels of silver to give Shi Xuan'er a reward, which sometimes attracted a lot of envious eyes.

The courtesan has not yet appeared, and the competition has gradually become increasingly fierce. You can imagine how famous Shi Xuan'er is and how popular she is on weekdays.

I just don’t know if Shi Xuaner has the maid she saw last time is pretty.

Zhu Qi thought of the maid brought by Xu Zengshou for no reason. One thing is, the maid is really pretty, with red lips, white teeth, delicate skin, delicate facial features, curved eyelashes, and a pair of A-likes, but she can understand it at a young age. When she grows up, she will grow up.

Zhu Qi was thinking about the little maid from Xu Zengshou's family here. The madam outside came again and explained with a smile. Then Zhu Qi realized that if he wanted to compete for the courtesan, he also needed to pay the money in advance. The name was shortlisted money. According to Shi Xuan'er's current popularity, each person had 100 taels of 100 taels.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Qi hesitantly, and obviously asked whether to pay the money or not. Zhu Qi did not hesitate and signaled Gao Jin behind him to pay the money.

The madam collected the money, recorded the room number, and then left.

Zhu Di came up at this time and asked with a wink:

"San brother, with your literary talent, the courtesan will definitely win it tonight!"

Zhu Qi's face remained unchanged and said sternly:

"Fourth brother, this is your misunderstanding. I paid the shortlisted money not because I wanted to sleep with the courtesan today, but because I heard that Shi Xuaner likes poetry and literature, and thought that she would have the opportunity to have a night talk with her and have a friendship between Guan and Bao."

When Zhu Di heard this, his expression was solemn, and he was worthy of being the third brother.

There was still chatting here, and there was a shout outside:

"The courtesan Shi Xuan'er is here--!"

Zhu Qi and Zhu Di started ejecting and pushed the door straight out. As soon as they went out, they saw that the railings on the second floor outside had already been crowded with people. Fortunately, there was still a place on the railing in front of their house. Zhu Qi leaned on the railing with one hand and looked down happily, looking at the empty stage and the crowds of people below the stage, thinking about when the courtesan Shi Xuan'er would appear.

I suddenly saw a familiar figure when I glanced at the corner of my eyes. When I turned my head and looked at it, I saw two people standing next to the railing. One of them was thin. After I noticed that Zhu Qi had seen it, I quickly turned my head and went back to the house, but didn't see my appearance.

Another person looked quite embarrassed and bowed to Zhu Qi and Zhu Di:

"I've met two of His Highnesses."

That person is not someone else, it is Xu Zengshou.
