Chapter 559: The Moon

As the so-called spring breeze is proud, Chu Xianzhao has now become a model sung by everyone in the mouth of the Luoyang family, coupled with the internal use of false rumors within the Shen family firm, it can be said that it is a real name for Luoyang.

This new master of the Shen family does not have the domineering temperament of a gentleman, but has a majestic and imposing person like a prince and nobleman, which makes people deeply awe-inspired.

This momentum was so strong that the chief shopkeepers in the firm who had supported Wei Jing could only smile in front of him, and it became more and more confirmed that he was the new master of the Shen family firm

Although Chu Zhaochu is now in power, there is still a long, long way to go before Shen Sanqian told him that he would occupy half of the South China Chamber of Commerce.

Now that he hasn't even seen the shadow of the South China Chamber of Commerce, it is still too difficult to reverse the outcome of this war through the power of money.

Now he is at most just the head of the Shen family who is difficult for everyone to convince, and he is followed by the national event of martial arts.

I heard that the martial arts talents selected by this martial arts campaign are to join the army against the upcoming Northern Regions army, once Qingguo wins this war, these selected martial arts masters will all be made marquis and worship the prime minister, and even become the lord of a place, resulting in the scale of this participation will be unprecedentedly grand.

When Chu Xianzhao woke up on a recliner, he found that it was already pitch black outside the window.

It has been raining for almost half a month since the sun set, and now it is May time, and the sound of frogs can be heard everywhere.

At night, there is a bright moon hanging in the sky, and there are no dark clouds to cover it.

It's been almost a year since I left Yinguo, I don't know what happened to Yinguo, are my brothers and sisters Su Nianyu okay?

Chu Xianzhao retracted his gaze slightly, his gaze fell on Jiang Tang's face beside him, and he asked, "What time?"

Jiang Tang sat on the low floor next to him, opened the spy report sent by Crow Qiwei, and replied softly: "It's almost midnight." ”

Chu instantly summoned his mind, stretched his waist, flipped through the account book on the desk casually, turned his head and asked with a smile, "How are those principals doing these days?"

Jiang Tang glanced at Chu Xianzhao, who was looking at him unscrupulously, and said softly: "Since you killed that Wei Jing, they are obviously much more honest, and many people who want to escape with money have been silently executed by our people, and now they don't dare to move, thinking that they are really afraid of you." ”

"Enough is enough, now I need these principals to do their jobs well, and we should concentrate on dealing with our next enemies. ”

"I don't know if this family is considered to be a former hand over to the tiger and a wolf to the back, it seems that the sunset is not a dangerous place for you but a blessed land, since you have gained a foothold in the sunset so quickly, should you sit on the dragon chair of the Daqing Emperor next?" Jiang Tang looked at him with a playful smile.

"I'm not going to be a white-eyed wolf. ”

Chu Xianzhao's smile was sincere and clear, worthy of being a child who grew up in the emperor's house since he was a child, knowing when to pretend to be a pig and eating a tiger, and knowing when to repay the grace of dripping water.

How many people in Luoyang City would have thought that he had a father whose status was close to that of the king of the Northern Regions, under the influence of Chu Xiaohua's ears and eyes, Chu Xuan's ability to summon hard knives to kill people with soft knives gradually reached its peak, and the tone of his voice turned out to be more and more like the Emperor of Yinguo who was above 10,000 people.

"Besides, it's too early to say these things, sitting on the dragon chair of Emperor Daqing, I don't even dare to say that I can sit firmly on this chair, so I need your help, Sister Jiang Tang. ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled at this cold and glamorous woman with a disapproving face, you must know that a murderous woman like Jiang Tang with blood on her hands is almost impossible to persuade their inner thoughts in a reasonable way, but it is more practical to speak by doing things.

"So what's next for you?"

Jiang Tang seemed to like the name he gave him, and smiled.

Chu Xianzhao smiled self-deprecatingly: "You may not believe it, but I don't want anyone's royal chair...... I just want to keep this fragile world.

"Guarding the world? It's really a child's dream, and it's really rare to hear it from your Royal Highness. ”

Chu Xianzhao didn't care about Jiang Tang's ridicule, slowly fell into deep thought, and asked, "What about you, what do you want to do next?"

Jiang Tang said without hesitation: "I want to go home." ”

Chu Xianzhao frowned and said, "But you know, now you and I can't go home, unless we win this war." ”

Jiang Tang looked at him deeply, but didn't say anything after all.

Chu Xuanzhao continued: "I will try to grasp more and more powers, and then use these powers to do something beneficial to us, of course, in this process, I need the help of many people, including you." ”

Chu Xianzhao looked into her eyes and said in a very low voice: "I understand how you want to go home, so I really want to cooperate with you...... Because I am the same, but I must go back alive with dignity, instead of going back and admitting my mistakes to Chu Xiaohua. ”

Jiang Tang understood what he meant, and didn't stay here for too long, bowed his head and left.

Since getting rid of Wei Jing and holding the power of the Shen family, Chu Xianzhao has not been idle, and most of the time has been going through the account books and files handed over by the major principals.

Now that he has learned from Wei Jing's past, if nothing else, no one will dare to confront him head-on in the future, and maybe they will use some yin damage methods to deal with him, which is not only impossible to prevent, but also not easy for him to grasp the handle.

Killing people with a sword, Chu Xianzhao thought that he could be regarded as proficient in the word, if it was about running an industry, he really didn't know anything, but since he was determined to rectify the major industries of the Shen family's commercial bank, so that he could better gain a foothold in Luoyang City and even in the future war, then these principals who had damaged their own interests would naturally not sit idly by.

What worries him even more is Empress Zhao, who is on the opposite side of him, this crazy woman doesn't know what crazy moves she will make to deal with herself, she is definitely not the kind of woman who is willing to give up.

As for the principals below, now they don't dare to rebel against themselves like Wei Jing, but these old foxes have been immersed in business for many years, and they are well versed in the various rules and regulations in the shopping mall, if they unite against themselves again, they will no longer be able to treat them like they did with Wei Jing, and they still did the move of quietly making the Shen family firm lose a lot of silver, even if they later knew that they did it, would it be difficult to cut them all?

Speaking of which, managing a firm is the same as Chu Xiaohua's management of the imperial court, not only to avoid being hollowed out of power, but also to know how to use both soft and hard, and the timing is indispensable.

Moreover, when he got rid of Wei Jing this time, he had already pulled out the big female dragon of Empress Zhao, and these chief shopkeepers were somewhat involved with the people of the imperial court.

If you really want to make drastic rectifications, and when the time comes, you will be in trouble and offend other court officials.

Chu Xianzhao knew that not only Empress Zhao, but also many people in this city who wanted to put him to death.

They were still observing themselves, once they were strong enough to threaten their existence, they would inevitably take action against themselves, and the crisis they fell into at that time might not be smaller than Wei Jing's.

After thinking for a moment, he opened a file he had found from Wei Jing's mansion from the many account books.

Chu Xuan looked at the names above that were painted red by the red pen thoughtfully, and it was best to put his finger on one of the names, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

——

Gyneth Tower.

Shen Sanqian, who was still a disciple of the Emperor in Luoyang City, established this Qinglou on a whim, and personally wrote the three words of the Yuelou.

These three words alone made the prodigal people in the city of the setting sun think about whether it was the woman's carcass - the body was like a bright white moon, or the waning moon was bent like a delicate body and leaned back.

It is said that even the former emperor Zhao Huailong also visited here, and for a time it became the most popular Qinglou in the city, causing the magnates in Luoyang City to want to go in and get a glimpse of the Oiran.

But Shen Sanqian, who was the founder of Qinglou, soon became an official, and then he had to be busy with the major affairs of the business house, and soon forgot about this whimsical game.

The Yuelou, which lost the support of the big money owner, has long been in the limelight of the sunset, but after all, it survived in the city of Luoyang, where every inch of land is valuable, and after many twists and turns, it finally became a branch industry of the Shen family firm.

Now the eldest lady has handed over the power of the Shen family trading house to herself, and the Xuyuelou is also among them, if you simply look at the file from Wei Jing, the income of the Xuanyuelou is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily income.

He believed that the more income this Qinglou had, the more cats would be hidden inside, so Chu Xianzhao planned to cut in from here.

Coincidentally, Chu Xianzhao just wanted to visit the shopkeeper of the Qinglou today, but Shen Chuxia told himself that there was a flower viewing party in the Yueyue Residence today.

What kind of flowers are you appreciating?

Naturally, it is the gorgeous Oiran.

The first emperor Zhao Huailong once brought back an Oiran back to the palace as a concubine in the Yueju, so the flower viewing party became famous, even after decades of ups and downs, people who can come to participate in the flower viewing party are either rich or expensive, and even there are masters of the rivers and lakes to participate in it, although the scale is not comparable to the thousand phoenix meeting of the year, but it is also a big event.

In addition to the world-famous dragon riding in Qingguo, the Golan industry is also beyond the reach of other dynasties, at the beginning of the powerful and wealthy people are indeed taboo for prostitutes, especially those Confucian scholars whose hands are not stained with yellow and white things, they feel that people who love lust and pleasure are simply self-defiled.

But over the years, there are more and more Qinglou in Luoyang, compared to those stereotypical noblewomen, the magnates still prefer those beautiful young Qinglou women who know how to **, even if they need to cover it up on the surface, but in their hearts, how can they regard going to the Qinglou as a shameful thing, and maybe they will show off their soft women with their colleagues afterwards.

Therefore, instead of calling it a flower viewing party, it is better to call it a flower picking party, and the one with the highest price of the selected flower will get it, and pay on the spot to take people home.

After Chu Xianzhao and Shen Chuxia got out of the carriage, they were in the area with the most green buildings in Luoyang City, and the various green buildings gave people a feeling of climbing up the stairs, and the layers of eaves gave people a feeling of heavy rocks.

The floor of the carcass of the moon tower is as high as seven floors, and it is also a more top-notch and conspicuous existence among the many green buildings, and there is a large piece of the waning moon statue cast out of sterling silver at the highest point, and it is actually a carcass of a woman leaning back in bliss, and the name of the carcass of the moon tower comes from this.

At this time, it was just night, and the street was full of traffic, and there were constantly bewitching women soliciting customers on the side of the road.

If the two women in the Qinglou meet a man who used to serve, they may fight to pull him up to their own building.

Chu Xianzhao passed by those women who exuded the fragrance of fat powder, and their ears were full of their laughter, at this time, there was no shortage of women who had just woken up to solicit customers, and they repeatedly threw flattering glances at Chu Xianzhao, and even directly talked about it to hook up with this handsome son.

If it weren't for Shen Chuxia's posture of a hostess and forcing them away with cold eyes, I'm afraid they would have to wave a pink fan and scarf to hug them, so that Chu Xianzhao broke into a cold sweat at the same time, he felt that this Qinglou was a big dye vat, and he would gradually wear out the man's ambition in it.

At the same time, this scene in front of him made him a little helpless, and at the same time, he remembered the first time he went to the Qinglou, when Su Nianyu was still a female assassin who wanted to assassinate the king, because the assassination process fell on the close-fitting scarf and was found by him, when he went to the Qinglou in Lin'an City to find her, it was also the same scene, but at that time he was the third prince of the third prince above one person.

And now he is the son of the Yin Kingdom who betrayed the country and fled, or the Emperor of Great Qin, or is he the head of the Shen family who is now in power at the beginning?

In any case, he will always have an identity that will be remembered by the world in the future.

The location of the moon house is at the end of this street, and the floor is extremely high, especially today is a semi-annual flower viewing party, which is more lively than the noisy and unusual scene in the past, and there are women with green silk shoulders poking their heads out of the window on the floor, waving handkerchiefs and shouting to attract customers.

Chu Xianzhao followed the flow of people into the Yuyue Residence, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw dozens of young men in white shirts pressing knives forward, inspecting the passing guests back and forth.

When he and Shen Chuxia passed by, they didn't guess that he was the identity of the head of the Shen family, but just cast a scrutinizing gaze, and Chu Xianzhao could see that these young people were quite good. The tiger's mouth is covered with a thick cocoon.

Before they arrived, dozens of tables and feasts had been held in the lake courtyard of the Yuyueju, and all kinds of powerful sons seemed to be about to decline, and there were many people sitting on the ground and raising glasses and drinking.

The seats were full of clothes like snow, with long sleeves fluttering, and the candlelight on the desk filled the lake courtyard.

Chu Xianzhao did not wear the gold-patterned toad robe that represented the identity of the head of the Shen family, but simply wore a white robe, and took the initiative to ask Shen Chuxia: "Now the shopkeeper in charge of the Xuyue Building is named Tian Qing'er, I wonder if my sister is familiar with her?"

Shen Chuxia replied: "I know, this woman has been working hard to run the carcass moon house all these years, and she has a great reputation in the Goolan industry, but her husband died many years ago, and she has a daughter under her knees, and she has had a close relationship with Da Hongluqing over the years, so the bosses of several Daqinglou in Luoyang City have to sell her a few faces, and she should be a woman who should not be underestimated." ”

"Indeed, a widow who can crawl and roll in the gold nest for so many years and still stand, is indeed not an ordinary woman. Chu Xianzhao smiled slightly and said, "If you want to win such a woman, it's not a problem that can be solved by sending money. ”

At this moment, two middle-aged men with big bellies walked past him, and a woman with a curly Nana walked in front of him.

The woman was only in her early thirties, and because of the excellent maintenance, a goose egg face looked like a soft woman in her twenties, and her figure was slightly plump, so she greeted her with a smile on her face.

Strictly speaking, the Yuelou is the property she took over from her deceased husband, and she really doesn't have much interest in making money, as for her widowhood, she further makes enemies and takes a step back to meet the jackals, so she simply doesn't fight for it and runs this Yueyue Lou wholeheartedly, and most of the money she earns is spent on making some connections, leaving only a little as her daughter's dowry.

Yuyuelou has been operating in Luoyang City for more than 20 years and is still standing, and this woman has made a lot of contributions.

Shopkeeper Tian didn't seem to recognize the identities of Chu Xianzhao and Shen Huayu, and his eyes fell on the two men who made her so respectful, but he didn't expect that today's flower viewing would make these two big people appear, which really made her a little unexpected.

The people who came were Ye Junjian, the eldest son of the Ministry of Shangshu, and Da Hongluqing, these two people walked side by side, that is, even half of the people in the officialdom of Qingguo had to bow their heads in front of them when they saw it.

Shopkeeper Tian greeted them with a sweet smile on his face, all the guests who came to Yuyueju knew that they had to have a good relationship with Shopkeeper Tian, maybe she would have special hospitality.

Besides, this woman's appearance is so graceful and moving, the men who are fortunate enough to see the shopkeeper dancing say that it is like a fairy dancing in the world, so that you can never hate her smile, and gradually sink into it and can't extricate yourself.

"There will be a lot of girls who have just grown up today and will dance on the water pavilion, if any one is to your liking, remember to tell the concubine, and the concubine will help you replace her, so as not to be taken away by other men. Shopkeeper Tian whispered in Da Hongluqing's ear.

A smile appeared on Da Hongluqing's fat face, and he reached out and pinched the silky palm of the shopkeeper Tian, and said, "I have never been very interested in the little girl, I wonder if the shopkeeper Tian is free to come to Honglu Temple tonight to sit?"

Shopkeeper Tian smiled charmingly: "Concubines, they are all old women, and today's flower-viewing meeting may be busy until the second half of the night, if the adults haven't left by then, how about the concubine personally dance for you?"

"It's a deal. ”

Da Hongluqing happily let go of her hand, and while passing by the woman, the other hand did not forget to rub behind her.

From beginning to end, the smile on the woman's face did not diminish by half.

"This woman is very tolerant. Chu Xianzhao stroked his chin and squinted at the plump woman who kept coming forward to greet the guests.
