My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 913 Han Members
On both sides of the streets in the city of Venice, there were cheering crowds everywhere. Some people even shouted the title of "Prince" loudly in awkward Chinese. Especially the young women looked at Zhu Zhanhe with a hint of awe in their eyes. Very crazy.

Zhu Zhanhe and Helen stood side by side on the carriage, waving to the cheering crowds on both sides as they walked, showing their closeness to the people.

"Father, I didn't expect you to be so popular in Venice!"

Zhu Qinuo, who was standing behind Zhu Zhanhe, was also very surprised and said that in his opinion, his father was already middle-aged, but he did not expect that he could attract so many young foreign girls to cheer for him.

"Not only in Venice, my father is very famous throughout Europe, especially among some noble ladies and girls. My father is simply everyone's dream lover. Of course, all this is thanks to my mother's book!"

Before Zhu Zhanhe could answer, Zhu Qikai next to him spoke first.

"What do you know? This is called the charm of a mature man, and it is not something you young people can compare with!"

Zhu Zhanhe said to his two sons with a proud look on his face.

Regarding Zhu Zhanhe's words, both Zhu Qinuo and Zhu Qinun secretly pouted, and Helen even covered her mouth and snickered. Although Zhu Zhanhe has become middle-aged, he is indeed much more mature and steady, but when it comes to courage, it is a matter of taste and wisdom. .

On the way, Zhu Zhanhe also discovered that Venice has changed a lot. After all, Venice has followed the Han Dynasty in recent years and has made a lot of money. Therefore, many new buildings have appeared in Venice, some of which are in the Central Plains style.

Some of these Central Plains-style buildings were influenced by the Han Dynasty, and some were simply built by the Han people in Venice, because with the deepening of exchanges between the two countries, many Han people also came to settle in Venice, and some Han people even became members of Venice's parliament.

Finally, Zhu Zhanhe's family arrived at the Doge's Palace. Helen's parents had already prepared a welcome banquet here. Almost all the prestigious nobles in Venice came to attend.

Zhu Zhanhe was already at ease with this kind of banquet. He first announced some policies to deepen cooperation between Han Dynasty and Venice in front of everyone, then praised the achievements of the cooperation between the two countries, and finally looked forward to the two countries. prospects for cooperation between the two countries.

These speeches also triggered a warm welcome from everyone present. Then he and Helen led a dance, and then the banquet officially began. Especially the young men and women had already chosen their dance partners and started with the melodious music. danced.

It was the first time for the two brothers Zhu Qinuo and Zhu Qikai to participate in such a dance, but they were not stage frightened at all. Many aristocratic girls were also very interested in their brothers, especially Zhu Qicai, who was half Venetian, so he was very excited at the dance. He was so popular that the women who came to invite him to dance almost started fighting.

Zhu Zhanhe had no time to pay attention to his two sons. At this time, he and the governor's father-in-law were meeting some members of the parliament. Zhu Zhanhe had met most of these members. After all, the members of Venice were also very stable. Unless the members died, they would usually Changes are rare.

However, there are still some new faces among these congressmen, and two of them are particularly eye-catching because they are actually Han Chinese.

The Governor also specially introduced to Zhu Zhanhe that these two Han congressmen, one surnamed Qian and the other Zhao, had settled in Venice many years ago. They were also famous big businessmen in Venice. In the end, relying on their own strength, Coupled with the friendly relationship between Venice and the Han Dynasty, they finally squeezed into the parliament and were able to participate in some power distribution in Venice.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't express anything special to the two Han congressmen. He just chatted with them for a few more words, then encouraged them and turned to the next person.

When the banquet was over, Zhu Zhanhe still lived with Helen in her previous room. Even after so many years, the room still maintained its appearance. Even some of the clothes Zhu Zhanhe left behind when he left were cleaned and stored. In the cloakroom.

“It’s great to be back!”

Helen leaned in front of the window and looked at the sea view outside and said to herself that although she was used to the life of a big man and had children, this room carried her dreams and life as a girl, so every time she came back she felt... It's like going back to that time.

"If you like it, how about I have someone decorate a similar room for you in the palace?"

Zhu Zhanhe said with a smile. "I don't want it anymore. Even though the room is the same, it still lacks some things. Besides, I already have a new life and some memories. Let's just keep them in this room. There's no need to take them to the big man again."

Helen shook her head softly.

Hearing what Helen said, Zhu Zhanhe did not insist, but accompanied her to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

But at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door and reported: "Your Highness, the person you want to see is here!"

"Let them wait in the study!"

Zhu Zhanhe responded, and then said to Helen.

"I'll go out and take care of things. I'll be back soon."

"Go ahead. Qi Nuo and Qi Kai have gone somewhere. Don't forget to send someone to call them back later."

Helen finally warned that after the banquet, Zhu Qinuo and Zhu Qikai disappeared. Although both of them were adults, Helen was still worried.

"My sons have grown up, and they have people protecting them, so don't worry about them."

Zhu Zhanhe laughed, because he had seen his two sons leaving the banquet with a group of boys and girls, and both of them were accompanied by female companions. They probably went on a date, and Zhu Zhanhe didn't bother to care.

"You are not afraid that your son will be led astray by others."

Helen complained, but didn't say much. After all, the atmosphere here in Venice is relatively open. It is normal for boys and girls to fall in love at first sight at a banquet and then find a date in a deserted place.

"Both of them are very thoughtful, so it's good if they don't lead others into bad ways."

Zhu Zhanhe laughed and then left the room.

The study room was next door. Zhu Zhanhe opened the door and walked in. He saw two people waiting in the room. They were the two Han councilmen he had seen at the previous banquet.

"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"

When the two of them saw Zhu Zhanhe, they immediately saluted, and this time they performed the military salute of a Jin Yiwei.

"No need to be polite, you have done well in the past few years, and you have finally lived up to the imperial court's training for you!"

Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, and then praised with satisfaction that these two people were Jin Yiwei's spies in Venice. After all, there were many Han Chinese who immigrated to Venice. It was with the support of Jin Yiwei that the two of them were able to stand out. , successfully broke into the Venetian Parliament.
