Chapter 417 I'm afraid the world will not be in chaos
The courtesan conference? This familiar scene finally appeared in front of you!
Wang Fulin was so angry and funny at this moment. ⊙, he had no expectations for the occasion of the fengyue, and he seemed to be in conflict with such a place. Mr. Chen, who had occupied the first transaction of Fengyue business in Hangzhou, once held a Hongmen banquet on Fuxiangfang on West Lake, and then instructed a top temptation. In the end, he simply jumped into the water with a plop, and finally got out of trouble. Fortunately, Xiaobei contacted Zhu Zhu of Beixinguan early and Zhang Ning, the eunuch of the tax control department, to transfer the ship to meet him, otherwise the cold weather would have to freeze and get sick!
"Wang Fulin!"
Hearing the low shouting beside him, Wang Fulin realized that Lu Guangwu was walking in front of him easily with Niu Si like an iron tower, while he was behind him with Xiaobei. Seeing that Xiaobei was staring at him with a bad face, he blinked and asked, "Do you still remember the Liu Ruyu on Fuxiangfang last time?"
As long as it is a woman, she will never have any good impression of the brothel Chuguan. As for the title of the brothel girl, she is even more disgusted. Therefore, after receiving the post about the brothel meeting, Xiaobei was very annoyed. But after drinking, he suddenly mentioned Liu Ruyu. She suddenly remembered Wang Fulin's jump at that time. For a moment, the anger on his face turned into Yichen Yixi.
After all, when the soft jade warm fragrance threw himself into his arms, he could make Liu Ruyu so cruel. Now, what kind of courtesan who chooses such a vulgar woman is? He should be so unaware of it!
At this moment, she heard Wang Fulin continue to say, "By the way. Will this so-called courtesan conference be a competition of talents first? Let the candidate girls compete for the zither, sing and dancing, and outside the venue, the Haoke spent a lot of money to support the girls, or the opponents in the business field also moved here to decide the outcome? If so, this kind of drama is more satisfying than real opera, but I didn't expect to see it in this little Danyang."
Xiaobei suddenly laughed: "Where did you hear this from? I have secretly visited the Courtesan Conference in Ningbo and in the capital before. There is no such twists and turns as you said. Every time you have decided before you have chosen it!"
Wang Fulin almost forgot that Xiaobei was not a lady who was raised in the deep boudoir, but a girl who could run around and protect herself with sufficient ability. The corners of her mouth twitched. Is this a reversal? I haven't seen a big man before, you little girl have been there more than once?
Hearing this, Lu Guangwu in front of him couldn't help laughing, and then said without looking back: "Xiaobei is right. Most of these courtesan conferences are organized by wealthy businessmen and famous local scholars. After selecting courtesan, most of them will leave their hometowns and become good concubines, so that both parties can raise their wealth. But Fulin is right. Sometimes courtesan conferences will also lead to dark horses. At this time, it is mostly because someone has a grudge against the organizer and is deliberately trying to save face. It depends on who has strong means and wealth, so that he can win the wrist. However, I am not familiar with the situation of this courtesan conference in Danyang."
Wang Fulin Quan regarded this as popular science, so he listened to it with pleasure. Sure enough, Lu Guangwu did not have the airs of a famous hero at all, and he casually talked about the strange stories of the courtesan conference he had experienced. Including the selected courtesans who became good on the spot, the target was not a young and promising scholar, nor a wealthy businessman, but an official of seventy and eighty years old. Nothing else, the official was the first rank before his retirement, and his reputation was everywhere, and his natural ability was overwhelming the heroes, and then a pear tree suppressed the crabapple. However, the examples of good and bad things cannot be counted. However, one of the words of Lu Guangwu attracted Wang Fulin's attention.
"But don't think that the little Danyang is not a big deal. Danyang is less than a hundred miles away from Yangzhou. Among the thin horses in Yangzhou, many of them have been trained by Danyang and sent to Yangzhou." Lu Guangwu said this, but said meaningfully, "And don't think this courtesan conference is too coincidental? It won't bloom early or late. We just arrived in Danyang on the first day, so we have to choose the courtesan."
Well, it was indeed a coincidence that the probability of hitting the head with a pie falling from the sky...
Wang Fulin nodded in agreement, but Xiaobei immediately frowned and asked, "Since you know there is a problem, why do you have to go?"
"If it weren't for the problem, why did Uncle Lu and I come to Danyang?" Wang Fulin raised his lips and said with a smile, "Don't worry, what if? I just say that my family has already made a fierce wife..."
"Bah!" Even though I knew that Wang Fulin was just like this, Xiaobei couldn't help but spat, "If you have that thief, don't blame me for letting you look good on the spot!"
Wang Fulin was not surprised that Xiaobei shrugged her shoulders and didn't care at all. On the way back, everyone had to go back to the garment store first and change back to their original outfits. But Wang Fulin thought that Lu Guangwu knew Niu Si's residence and would take them to send Niu Si there next, but who knew that after a long circle, he actually returned to the gate of Shao Mansion!
Regarding the strange situation of the three of them going out and four people coming back, none of them showed any strange looks from the gatehouse of the Shao Mansion to the servants. I don’t know if it was because they had already been informed or because of the strict orders of the master. When Wang Fulin told the two studs and the two old soldiers Min Fu and Wang Liuyi that they wanted to go to the courtesan conference, the four people were all extremely interested and hoped to go together without saying a word.
Not only that, even Niu Si woke up after slacking the wine. When Lu Guangwu heard that he had received such an invitation, his face suddenly showed a surprised and joyful expression.
"Really? This year's Courtesan Conference said it was just a while ago, but I didn't expect it to be today. It was such a coincidence! In the past, the people below recognized me as the number one person. In such a crowded place, no one would think of me. This time I was still lucky to Brother Lu."
Seeing Wang Fulin, who happened to enter the room, he was obviously a little curious when he saw his expression. After he hesitating for a moment, Niu Si continued to say embarrassedly: "Actually, the old lover I mentioned before was Qiao Cuicui, the red apprentice in Fucuiyuan. She has been with me for three years and has never asked me to have an extra stitch. Last time she secretly told me that she had saved up enough private houses and wanted to redeem herself and live an ordinary woman's life, but how could I dare to drag her down with my wealth? After that, I haven't seen her for a month. Thinking about her, she is twenty-two years old this year. Although she is a little older, she might also attend the courtesan conference."
Speaking of this, Niu Si showed a hint of shame on his face, and then he whispered: "If she can get a courtesan tonight and marry a good family, I will be at ease..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold snorted from outside the door. Xiaobei was throwing the curtain in. She glared at Niu Si a little angry and said angrily: "You think she can feel at ease by marrying a wealthy family, but why don't you think about serving an old man who is silly, or marrying a rich child as a concubine, and then serving the mistress tremblingly. What will the servants at home think of her in private? Can she live a comfortable life like that? If she doesn't like you, how can she say that she will redeem herself and she will regret it in the future, then make it clear first. What is it if you don't meet for a month! A man is not like that!"
"I..." Although he was Lu Guangwu's junior, Niu Si was speechless for a while and suddenly sighed and buried his head between his palms. At this time, he heard another voice.
"Brother Zhu is a bit harsh, but Mr. Niu Si, what you did before is really wrong. I want me to say, you can find a way to meet that Miss Qiao tonight, and everyone will make it clear. If she is really willing to let go of everything and go with you, why should you give up your old love because you are worried about the future? A man dares to love and hate." Wang Fulin said this, but he smiled and said, "If you really have a relationship, I will definitely talk to Uncle Lu. In addition, I and Brother Zhu, we will help you get the person back together no matter what you say!"
Seeing that Xiaobei and Wang Fulin were having sex, they actually trapped themselves directly, but Lu Guangwu did not think it was offensive.
Thinking of today they just met Niu Si for the first time. Rather than being afraid that the world will not be in chaos, they are not as cold and cold as ordinary officials who are not concerned about their own affairs. They have never looked down on people like Niu Si who are poor and have experienced ups and downs and still rely on their strength to make a living. Instead, they joke with people as friends. He couldn't help but nodded with appreciation. At first, he was just because of the incense of his teachers and nephews who were old friends, but now he has a little more genuine appreciation.
"You..." Niu Si looked at the two young men in front of him, and then looked at Lu Guangwu. Seeing that the famous young master Lu in Xinchang also nodded to him, he couldn't help but feel a violent churn in his heart. Finally, he took a deep breath, clenched his fist and knocked his knees with a fierce look, "Okay, I'll try to see her again tonight. If she wants, I will marry her!"
In the afternoon, Niu Si asked for ten taels of silver soup and medicine from Shaojia Jifang. Jifang did not report it, but Awang and Acai, who followed Wang Fulin and his party for a whole afternoon, reported it. Shao Fang could not guess what Lu Guangwu was thinking about contacting Niu Si, so he discussed it with several leading figures in Danyang City. When he learned that everything was ready for the courtesan conference, he simply told them to put it today on the grounds of Lu Guangwu's arrival. Even Niu Si's post was given by him. He was not interested in this kind of romantic affairs at all, but he was going to join in the fun tonight for the first time.
But at this moment, a familiar figure rushed in excitedly.
"Father-in-law, I have heard that Mr. Lu, Xinchang, was actually a guest at the Shao family? It's better to come early than to come by. I'm so lucky! I didn't have time to ask Mr. Lu for advice last time..."
