Chapter 311: Women's Poetry Society
While she was talking, Lu Yuan glanced around, but he didn't see any clues.
Just thinking about it, Zhang's mother's voice came.
"Childe, I don't know if you want to draw lots or roll call?"
"May I ask how many people are in front of Miss Peony?"
If this is the White Lotus Sect's stronghold, Peony must be a member of the White Lotus Sect, maybe he can start with her, Lu Yuan thought to himself.
"There are more than 200 sons." Zhang's mother smiled and bloomed, and the son who usually asks like this is likely to pay a lot of money to see the peony.
If there are more than 500 people, it means that you need to add more than 500 taels of silver to see the peony immediately.
Lu Yuan snorted secretly, these Qinglou have gone too far in order to make money, in this way, wouldn't it take a few months to see the last one? No, if you count the queue, you won't be able to see each other for a year.
Lu Yuan only had a few hundred taels of silver on him, and he didn't want to spend all the money on it.
Just as he was about to refuse, a chubby boy strode in, faltering, and if it weren't for the servant behind him, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand steadily.
"Peony, I want Peony, call Peony to come and accompany me!" The fat guy yelled.
"Childe, please wait a moment." Zhang's mother left such a sentence, and hurriedly greeted the fat boy.
"Lord Wang, you came really early today, Peony has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me."
As he spoke, he personally led the fat boy upstairs.
Lu Yuanzheng was a little strange about the identity of the fat boy, and suddenly heard a brocade-robed boy not far away who hugged him left and right sneered: "Poor peony, I have to accompany this stupid pig again." ”
The girl beside him suddenly became a little unhappy, and complained: "Childe only pities Sister Peony, doesn't he pity others?" ”
"That stupid pig won't look for you, what do you have to be pitied." Brother Gongzi said coldly.
Without waiting for the girl to continue speaking, he took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the other's chest, pushed her and the other girl away, and strode out the door.
He was done with his joy and was about to go home.
Lu Yuan stepped forward quickly and arched his hand: "This brother is good." ”
Brother Gongzi glanced at him coldly, and saw that he was dressed and bearing, and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Lu Yuan pretended to be angry, and said loudly: "I am very interested in the peony girl, and I was going to spend five hundred taels of silver to see her, but I don't know that the mother is so unreasonable, after seeing the fat man, she put me aside, and I don't know what the identity of the fat man is?" ”
He heard Brother Gongzi's ridicule of the fat man, so he deliberately showed his dissatisfaction with the fat man, so as to arouse his sense of empathy.
Sure enough, after hearing Lu Yuan's dissatisfaction with the fat boy's words, Brother Gongzi talked a little more about Xi NG and asked, "I don't know where Brother Tai is?" ”
"In Xia Du Xuan, he is a merchant in Hui'an Mansion."
Brother Gongzi was slightly moved: "Recently, I can often see your merchants in Hui'an Mansion in Hangzhou, why, your restless Jiedu envoy does not fight with our Wuyue people, but wants to do business with us?" ”
Because the Hui'an army had defeated the Wu Yue army, the people of Hangzhou had both a little hostility and a little respect for the people of Hui'an Mansion.
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "As far as I know, it was King Wu Yue who first prepared to attack our Hui'an Mansion, and our Lu Jie Shuai just fought back for self-preservation." ”
"If you fight back, why did you capture our country's Muzhou?"
"It's called preemptive strike, and the last strike is subject to others."
"You businessmen, but you still defend your handsome." Brother Gongzi sighed a little.
"Why, won't Brother Fei defend King Wu Yue when he is away?" Lu Yuan asked rhetorically.
"That's not a good idea." Brother Gongzi said casually, and arched his hand: "My name is Zhou Kun, and my family is also a business family, let's go, let's find a place to talk, maybe we can talk about business." ”
He heard from many people that Hui'an Mansion had great business opportunities, and even Bai Jin, the largest merchant in Hangzhou, sent his son to Hui'an Mansion, so he was very interested in Lu Yuan, a businessman in Hui'an Mansion.
"I'm sorry, I'll have to ask Miss Peony about it later." Lu Yuan shook his head.
"It's okay, I'll wait with you." Zhou Kun said with a smile, and shouted to a woman in the distance: "Yanru, arrange a room for us, serve some wine and food, and then ask your mother Zhang to come over later." ”
The woman was the steward of the Qinglou, and she was very respectful to Zhou Kun, stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Please come with me." ”
Following behind Yan Ru, Lu Yuan took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, Brother Zhou hasn't said who that fat man is?" ”
"He." Zhou Kun sneered: "He is the younger brother of King Wu Yue, 'King Anle' Qian Yu." ”
Lu Yuan was taken aback, this person's identity was so noble, why did Zhou Kun disdain him so much?
Zhou Kun seemed to see his doubts, and said lightly: "The reason, I'll tell you later." ”
The two entered an elegant room, Zhou Kun waved his hand and let the others out, and then spoke: "Brother Du, don't look at Qian Yu as a prince." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to his head, "That guy has something wrong here. ”
"He's a fool?" Lu Yuan said in surprise.
"Isn't it? I've heard that he once peed his pants in the court, and his guts are extremely small, didn't Yu Xun of your Hui'an Mansion once come to our Hangzhou? ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"In those days, this idiot was so frightened that he didn't dare to go out, hiding in bed all day long, after the king learned about it, he was very disgusted with him, not only removed him from his actual position, but also forbade him to go to court again, so whether it was the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, or the people of Hangzhou, no one looked down on him."
Lu Yuan sighed: "I can't imagine that there are such timid people in the world. ”
"Don't mention that stupid pig, by the way, I don't know what kind of business Brother Du's family is doing?" Zhou Kun asked.
Lu Yuan was about to make a nonsense, and with a "snap", the door was pushed open violently.
A young man broke in, and after seeing Zhou Kun, he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhou, Gongzi is fighting with people in the Women's Poetry Club again, you hurry up and call your account room and go to help Gongzi together." ”
"Who doesn't know life and death and dares to go against Childe?" Zhou Kun raised his eyebrows and said.
"Don't say it, the other party is Song Hong, the eldest son of the Song family, since his father was promoted to the commander of the internal government, this kid is very arrogant, in Hangzhou City, except for the eldest prince of the Changle Marquis Mansion, there is no one he dare not provoke."
Zhou Kun's heart sank, and he got up and apologized to Lu Yuan: "Brother Du, I'm in a bit of a hurry, let's talk another day." ”
"Can I go with you and have a look? To tell you the truth, I am also very interested in poetry. Lu Yuan hurriedly said.
The commander of the internal government is an important figure in Wu Yue's ** side, and he originally planned to get involved in Wu Yueguo's officialdom, so he just took this opportunity to get in touch.
Zhou Kun pondered for a moment, thinking of his identity as a merchant in Hui'an Mansion, and he didn't really want to cut off contact with him like this.
"That's good, it's okay for Brother Du to go with me to take a look, but there may be many big people later, Brother Du must not talk casually."
"I understand."
Hearing that Zhou Kunken took Lu Yuan over, the man who pushed the door in finally glanced at him.
After the three of them left the peony garden, Zhou Kun led the way to a carriage, and several family members next to the car whispered hello when they saw him.
Zhou Kun instructed a person: "Hurry up and ask Li Zhong to go to the Women's Poetry Society, and report my name when you get outside." ”
"Yes." The family took the order and left.
Subsequently, the three of them rode to the Women's Poetry Society in a carriage, and on the carriage, Zhou Kun asked the young man about what happened.
From their mouths, Lu Yuan learned that the young man's surname was Wang, and the son in their mouth was the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty, Zhang Jie.
It is no wonder that he dared to argue with Song Hong, the commander of the internal government.
And from the mouths of the two, Lu Yuan learned that Song Hong's father was just a small general of the internal government before, and because of the recommendation of Hou Dai Mu of Zhennan, he became the commander of the internal government and jumped eight levels in a row.
In other words, Song Hong is Dai Mu's person, so I don't know which of the three parties of Wu Yue is Zhang Gongzi.
Song Hong has always been unrestrained, but because his father's official position is not big, he often gets deflated when he conflicts with people, and Zhang Gongzi once punished him ruthlessly.
Now that his father has become a commander, he has naturally intensified, and he has the potential to be an upstart.
And specifically for those who had bullied him before, Zhou Kunge and the man surnamed Wang were very disdainful of him in their conversations.
During this period, Zhou Kun asked Lu Yuan a few more questions, wanting to inquire about the scale of his family's business and whether it was enough to do business with his own family.
Lu Yuan opened his mouth and said that he was the second largest tea merchant in Hui'an Mansion, and Zhou Kun put his mind at ease and took a little more fancy to him.
All the way to the Women's Poetry Society, Lu Yuan waited for the two to go down, and then got out of the carriage.
Looking around, I saw a huge building standing in front of me, and the words 'Women's Poetry Society' were written on the lintel.
I can't imagine that a mere women's poetry club is so big, I'm afraid that the supervision institute under him can't be compared, Lu Yuan shook his head and thought.
