Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 359

Zhengyangmen Street was first built in 1419 (that is, the 17th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty). At the beginning, it followed the name of the Yuan Dynasty: Lizhengmen.

In 1439 (that is, the fourth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty), after rebuilding the city tower, adding urns, arrow towers, and gate towers, it was renamed Zhengyangmen, which is still in use today.

Before the construction of the outer city 29 years ago in Jiajing, it was always the royal road for the emperor to go out of the city to the Temple of Heaven and the Altar of Mountains and Rivers. After the construction of the outer city, it became the main north-south street of the outer city, commonly known as Qianmen Street by the people.

Zhengyangmen Street is located at the boundary line between Zhengdongfang and Zhengxifang, separated by the center of the street, with Zhengdongfang in the east and Zhengxifang in the west.

And because Zhengyangmen is the main gate of the capital, the area around Qianmen Street is wider than other city gate streets.In terms of urban organization, the Ming Dynasty broke through the custom of "the former dynasty and the later market" followed by the Yuan Dynasty. A large commercial area was formed around Zhengyangmen and south to Xianyukou and Langfang Hutong.

In the mid-Ming Dynasty, due to the development of commerce, markets and streets such as Xianyukou, Zhu (Zhu)shikou, Meishikou, and grain stores appeared on both sides of Zhengyangmen Street. commercial street.

After Jiajing, officials from various provinces and cities in Beijing established guild halls on both sides of Zhengyangmen Street in order to solve the problem of accommodation for candidates who went to Beijing for exams.

People often come to Zhengyangmen Street to buy daily necessities or drink and have fun, which also makes Zhengyangmen Street a bustling commercial street like it is today.

A group of five people walked forward slowly, and it was already noon when they arrived at Zhengyangmen. Although it was winter, the sun was also in the middle of the sky, bringing everyone some rare warm sunshine in this cold season.

Although the weather is cold, Zhengyangmen is not less prosperous at this time. On the streets on both sides, there are fish sellers, material sellers, charcoal sellers, rouge sellers, and even grain stores and pharmacies. Even though the weather is not beautiful, people still have to live. If they don’t do business, how can they support their families. Therefore, even in this cold winter season, Zhengyangmen Street is still full of people shouting and shouting.

It was already noon when Zhu Youjian and his entourage came, and there were a lot fewer people on the street, and most of them had already gone home for dinner, otherwise it would be a matter of whether there would be more people and how many people could squeeze in.

It is said that the five people walked into the street and looked at the dazzling array of goods around them, which made everyone dizzy, but when it was noon, everyone came here after walking for so long, and their stomachs began to bulge on time Knock it off, reminding everyone that it's time for lunch.

Zhu Youjian touched his somewhat empty stomach, looked left and right, and saw a restaurant not far away at a glance, Dang even suggested: "It's this time of day, why don't I be the host today, please How was the meal?"

Li Rushou heard the words but hurriedly said: "It's rare for the young master to come here once, why don't you let me be the host."

But Zhu Youjian couldn't help but picked up the little girl who was also frowning and rubbing her rebellious belly while walking towards the inn, and said: "Why are you being polite to me? Can't grab it? Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, I see that the inn has a lot of guests, don't walk too slowly and lose a seat, that's really troublesome."

Saying this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but quicken his pace, and everyone hurried to follow and headed towards the inn.

Soon, everyone came to the inn, looked up, and saw the big characters of Yuelai Inn.

Looking at these four big characters, Li Rushou couldn't help feeling a little timid, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Zhu, this Yuelai Inn is said to be the top inn in the city, and its branches are said to be open all over the entire Ming Dynasty. Will be low, you see if we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Youjian interrupted him with a wave.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand, and immediately said: "What are you afraid of, today I will be the host, and Mr. Zhu will pay for all consumption! Let's go! Come in with us!"

Let's talk, Zhu Youjian strode towards the Yuelai Inn with his little daughter in his arms.

Don't say anything else, just say that he is a dignified emperor, can't afford an inn?Uh... the original person who claimed to be Dongnanzi might...

Cough cough... Leaving this aside, this inn is also his property, otherwise, how could the name of the inn that has opened all over the world appear in Daming?
No matter how much he spends, it's just left handed and right handed to him, so what's the point?
Li Rushou and Li Rujing brothers looked at each other, Li Rushou still hesitated, but Li Rujing looked eager to try, finally Li Rushou sighed, seeing Zhu Youjian and the others quickly entered the hall, he no longer hesitated, the two brothers quickly Step up to follow.

As soon as he entered the inn, Li Rushou was fine. After all, he was working in the Huangming Chamber of Commerce and had some knowledge. Li Rujing looked left and right like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, with an eye-opening look on his face.

It didn't take long for him to look at it before he was dragged away by Li Rushou.

As soon as Zhu Youjian came in, Xiao Er immediately greeted him. Zhu Youjian didn't talk nonsense, ordered a table of signature dishes, threw a few silver coins to Xiao Er, and then went to the second floor of the inn under the guidance of Xiao Er. at the table by the window.

Everyone was seated, and while waiting for the dishes, Zhu Youjian talked about the purpose of coming here today.

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhu Youjian said: "My family has arranged a marriage for me. It is said that the woman's father is doing business in this Zhengyangmen Street. I want to have a look at this woman, so I take advantage of this time When you come out, come and see if you have a chance to see that woman."

That's right, Zhu Youjian came out this time for the legendary Queen Zhou, who was thrifty and virtuous as recorded in the historical records of her previous life.Appearance is rated as calm.At the beginning, there was no golden heart, four natures, and before the visit to the Supreme, the gods and men helped, the country was full of beauty, and those who saw it knew that it had the phoenix Zhu's precious evaluation of filial piety, chastity, Yuangong, Zhuangyi, and Tianjing Shenglie Queen !

Uh……

Zhu Youjian shook his head, this posthumous title was given after the person died, and he is not dead yet, not even the queen, so naturally he is not the virtuous queen passed on to future generations.

After understanding the purpose of Zhu Youjian's coming out this time, everyone looked at him with strange eyes. In the current season, unless they knew each other from the beginning, the two sides met very rarely before getting married, and some of them had intentional disagreements. Let the two sides meet, if Zhu Youjian's behavior spreads out, it is inevitable that some moralists will make irresponsible remarks.

But Zhu Youjian didn't care about these things himself, and Li Rushou naturally wouldn't be too troublesome. Since Zhu Youjian came here for this matter, he just cooperated honestly.

On the other hand, the little girl on the side, when she heard that Zhu Youjian had confirmed the kiss, her whole face suddenly wrinkled into creases on the steamed stuffed bun, her face was full of grievances, Zhu Youjian noticed it, and pinched the girl on both sides in a funny way Cheek, forcibly pulled a smile on the little girl's face, and the angry little girl turned her head away with a snort and ignored him.

Zhu Youjian smiled, and then cast his eyes out of the window, looking in a certain direction. When he came up just now, he noticed that there was a fortune-telling booth in that place, and there was a white banner written in front of the booth, Tiekou Shen told Zhou Banxian A few large characters.

According to Jin Yiwei's information, this person should be the legendary Zhou Guozhang who is greedy and desperate for money, and Zhou Kui, the bastard father of Queen Zhou...
