Chapter 55 , Shangyuan
The plan was also thick. Qiushi was reviewing and commenting, saying that it was because Madam Pei stolen Beimo's things and left it to Chen Qi. Chen Qi said that this young master was very talented and much better than Beimo. Chen Kang listened to the young master bragging around and listened to Chen Qi's plan as a verbal book. It was much better than what the storyteller in the restaurant said. Chen Qi returned to arrange various positions for Chen Kang, but he didn't know that Chen Qi was serious.
At noon on the first day of the lunar month, the emperor gave me gifts, including silk, silk, satin, cattle, sheep, horses, gold and jade, and a lot of money. The people in the court also began to pay New Year's greetings. On the first day of the lunar month, they were all neighbors and visited various homes and met all kinds of adults. Chen Qi was unwilling to join in the fun, and no one cared about the number one playboy in Chang'an. His father and second brother went to deal with it. Chen Qi was at ease, and the family was not prosperous, and there were few relatives, so there was almost nothing left. When the prince came, he said he was paying homage to his uncle, and the family was in trouble.
Chen Qi did not join in the fun. After the prince left, he went out and went to the change street. He followed Han Xing to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu sent red envelopes for both of them. When he met Dong Lie, who came to pay New Year's greetings, Dong Lie smiled and took Chen Qi to inspect the store containing his shares. The New Year's atmosphere was very strong. In addition to the new carriage and horse carriage, Dong Lie opened a restaurant in the north and south of the city. It had Chen Qi's ideas and might not worry about investment in the future. As he chatted, he talked about something that Chen Qi didn't know. It turned out that the boss of Guiyun Tower was Yue Wenze, the son of the Minister of War. He had a good time with Chen Qi. Chen Qi had not been too harsh in search of Su Qianqian before, because of Yue Wenze's relationship.
Now I learned that the boss behind Guiyun Tower was actually Dong Lie. He was named the Minister of War, and he distributed a lot of dividends to the Minister of War every year. Dong Lie was very understanding and looked at Chen Qi in a slight manner, teasing that Su Qianqian was Chen Qi's woman. He also whispered indirectly, saying that if Chen Qi really liked it, he gave Su Qianqian to him. Chen Qi smiled and declined, just kidding, we are not beasts, but rather beasts. A girl who has just passed the age of a few years can't bear it. Since Dong Lie is the boss, it's nothing to be praised. Isn't there a courtesan competition? Let's just come out again. Dong Lie smiled and said that Sanlang was at ease, Lie has his own arrangements. He thought he was not interested in it, but his family disagreed, after all, his identity was there.
The New Year is over and the Year is over. Chen Qi is fourteen. In the eyes of his parents, no matter how old he is, he is a child. Before he knew it, it is the 15th day of the first lunar month. His father Chen Wenruo made lanterns with his own hands. The words and drawings on them are all drawn by himself to make up for the lack of fatherly love in recent years. When he was a child, he felt distressed and pretended to be biased for a long time. Chen Wenruo felt that it had become real. He didn't want people to know that Chen Qi was the child of Miss Pei's family. But now the whole city of Chang'an is full of wind and rain. If the Secret Guards were not around Chen Qi, I don't know how many times he would die. Chen Wenruo has never fought or robbed, but now he is extremely dissatisfied with the Pan Taiwei family and is also dissatisfied with the Mingjingtai of the Upper Court. You are placing the great cause of unification and the hard work of the people, but you just look for a case that has been destroyed for more than ten years.
Lu Qing and Hanxing came to make an appointment with Chen Qi to turn on the lanterns. The business of Daqin was booming. There was no curfew throughout the first month. Lanterns were hung everywhere on the streets. Children from poor families also brought paper lanterns. Occasionally, two children fought with lanterns. Who was lit, and they went back to find their father crying. Lu Qing and Hanxing and Chen Qi and the other two were lanterns, walking through the streets and alleys in Chang'an, buying a candied haws and eating a bite of turban cake. The streets were full of.
Chen Qi is a rich man now, and Dong Lie has given him 300,000 yuan. Maybe he has a real vision and can see the future he is seeking, maybe he looks at the face of the Korean star, or the signboard of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. No matter what, Dong Lie is not annoying, and he may only see his kind side. After all, from time to time, Chen Qi has only seen the kindness of the Qin Dynasty. The existing problems are only superficial. The three of them walked through the streets and alleys to Furong Garden in the south of the city.
The major brothels are full of on the Lantern Festival, and it will not be deserted by midnight. The most lively place is Furong Garden. The Furong Garden is a courtesan competition tonight. Dong Lie’s stall makes a lot of money, and there are also major families in Chang'an. The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion is not only a talented person, but in terms of income, it is no longer a qualified family.
The main venue of the courtesan is on Ziyun Tower, the central island of Furong Garden. Ziyun Tower is next to Furong Lake in the north, and there is a square to the south. There are lanterns hanging on four corner pavilions, with crowds of people shoulder to shoulder. Whether it is a prince or a celebrity or a commoner, there is no difference tonight. It is just one word, lively.
Chen Qi, Han Xing and Lu Qing squatted on a big tree. The view here is good and you can see the stage. His father, Chen Wenruo, second brother Chen Yu, has a seat in the center of the square. When he came, he called Chen Qi over. Chen Qi said that he was uncomfortable sitting there, so he would rather find a place by himself.
Su Qianqian has a good singing voice. As the leader of Guiyunlou, she is a strong competitor in the competition for courtesans. Chen Qi knows such a leader. During the performance, a huge basket will be placed in front of the stage and throw flowers into it. The one who gets the most is this year's courtesans. One hundred taels of flowers are expensive. Most people join in the fun of choosing courtesans. Who is the courtesans is decided by the princes, nobles, landlords and rich people.
Princess Changyang is also here, Bai Shijie is also here, and after Su Qianqian finished singing, someone sang the title, "Princess Changyang, I will send Miss Su Qianqian ten flowers."
Ten flowers, one thousand taels, that is, one thousand guan. If you take action with pride, the princess really gives Bai Shijie face.
Chen Qi called over and whispered a few words, and after a while, he sang the title again, "Miss Su Qianqian, I send you two hundred flowers to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."
Bai Shijie heard it and opened his eyes slightly. Princess Changyang looked around with interest. Looking at Chen Wenruo's table, Chen Wenruo and Chen Yu looked at each other. Who is this? I heard that the mistress likes Su Qianqian. Does he have so much money? He whispered in the venue. It was too expensive. The head of the playboy was indeed not covered.
The courtesan can be sprinkled with 20,000 taels, and the courtesan is determined. By midnight, the courtesan Su Qianqian belongs to Chen Qi tonight.
Even if Chen Qi is at night, he just drinks, chats, recites poems and writes. Su Qianqian is a polite prostitute. She is a young grandmother’s life. She wants to enter a wealthy family to enjoy a happy life. At the very least, she is a wealthy businessman. Of course, she is a courtesan, and it is difficult to be a wife, and most of them are concubines.
Lu Qing and Han Xing teased Chen Qi and went back together. Han Xing has been a little absent-minded recently. He always travels around for the girl he met that day. He goes to Dong Lie's shed to give porridge and rice every day. Maybe it's because he is not destined to be together. He has never met him again after the shocking horse that day.
Chen Qi asked Chen Kang to go back and let him know that he would not go back tonight. As for the cheap father Chen Wenruo, he didn't care, he took Su Qianqian shopping, and asked Su Xiaoxiao to follow him, holding a candied haws and crescent-like eyes to look at Chen Qi. She thought the third young master was good, much better than the White Prince Consort. As the White Prince Consort became the Prince Consort, he shouldn't be obsessed with his sister. How could the prince consort who married into the mother? My sister took it for granted. It would be nice to marry Chen Qi. At least that boy was stunned. Haha, what the number one playboy is, Chen Dabangzi, no one dared to mess with Chang'an, but he had enough confidence and confidence to control it.
