When Zhu Yujiao heard this, she smiled, didn't talk nonsense, and followed him.

Seeing this, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but laugh in his heart: Dare Qing was waiting for his words just now, right?

………………

The corner of Yangzhou Mansion West Street is a relatively quiet place in the city. In other words, if it's not prosperous, the rent will be much lower.

There is a shop front with an eye-catching red lantern. The horizontal plaque at the door is hung with a red cloth and a thin rope holding it, which should be able to pull the red down and reveal the name of the store.

Early in the morning, at the entrance of the store, two men happily carried a sign out and erected it at the door of the store. It reads, "The new store is opened, and everyone in Yangzhou is singing to open"!

It should be because it was still relatively early, and there was no one on the street, so the two guys chatted.

"It's a rare opportunity to hear so many owners singing. If we want to change the usual, how can we have this blessing! ”

"That's not it, especially the big boss, everyone is in Yingtianfu, when I came to Yangzhou this time, I just happened to encounter this incident, and when her sister said it, it turned out to be a big boss. usually listens to her singing, but only the dignitaries of Ying Tianfu have this qualification! ”

"Yes, it is said that our Da Ming, the best singing voice, should be the big boss! When you sing it, it's like a heavenly sound! ”

“……”

They were chatting when they suddenly saw several small sedan chairs coming this way. Seeing this, the two immediately stopped chatting, and greeted each other with a smile and said, "I've seen the owner!" ”

In the sedan chair at the front, a nice voice said, "Is everything ready?" ”

"Today is a big event, if you dare to delay, you must be ready!" One of the guys listened and quickly replied.

Hearing this, a maid accompanying him had already lifted the curtain, and the people inside stepped out. The same is true for the two palanquins in the back.

When the shopkeeper in the store heard the movement, he hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw it, he hurriedly greeted: "The second owner, the third owner, the fourth owner, it's so early, congratulations!" ”

When the two proprietors heard this, they smiled, and immediately signaled to the maid, and gave them a red envelope.

The latter two owners are also happy, and the atmosphere is invisibly festive.

"Shopkeeper, my sisters and I went to prepare first." The second proprietor smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "If there is a guest arrived, tea will be served first." ”

The shopkeeper naturally agreed in a row, so that these owners could rest assured.

But he didn't know that after the three owners went backstage, they didn't have those smiles.

The three of them faced each other, and their faces were a little heavy.

"When you went out today, were you troubled?"

"Why not? Mothers are naturally upset! ”

"Yes, I also said in a weird way, this money will not be kept for redemption in the future, and it will be used to do this, don't blame her if it is lost. Hehe, what do I have to blame her for what I decide? ”

“……”

After talking for a while, the second master suddenly asked, "You say, is the National Guild coming?" If Guogong really comes, then our "Ming Pao" will at least not lose, and there will be a lot less to do! ”

"There's no news, I guess it won't come!"

"Yes, how can people look down on a small branch. Obviously, it's wishful thinking! ”

Hearing that there was no news from either of them, the second master smiled reluctantly and said, "Forget it, aren't we also mentally prepared?" We love those tunes anyway, and now that we've made it this far, let's do it well! ”

"If this scene of opening the door doesn't start, there will be a lot of things that will make things difficult for us in return, and I don't know what will happen in the end?"

“……”

They were putting on makeup under the service of the maid, and they were talking to each other, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Suddenly, there was another sound of footsteps outside, and when they turned their heads to look, they couldn't help but stand up and salute, "Sister is here!" ”

The person who came here is the big proprietor of the Yangzhou branch of "Ming Pao", in fact, he looks like he is only 28 years old, and he is not very old.

However, unlike the three who had already come first, when she came in, her steps were brisk, and the joy on her face could not be concealed.

As soon as he saw her expression, the second owner asked, "Sister, why are you so happy?" ”

When the big proprietor heard this, he smiled and took their hands and said, "Xingguo is coming, are you happy?" ”

"What?"

"Guogong is coming?"

"Is this true?"

After being surprised, the three women who arrived first actually hugged each other and jumped up, their excitement and joy were overflowing.

With no outsiders present, after being excited for a while, the second owner came back to his senses first, and asked a little curiously: "Sister, why haven't we received news that the National Guild is coming?" ”

The other two listened and nodded their heads.

"It was only after dark yesterday that Zhang Zhuan's envoy sent someone to inform him." When the big proprietor heard this, he explained, "It's getting late, so I haven't had time to inform the sisters. ”

When several people heard this, they were very happy, and after being happy for a while, they hurriedly got ready.

As time passed, there was finally movement at the door, and the invited guests arrived one after another.

Needless to say, the few top names who can be invited are all literati and artists, and at least a little famous.

After entering the store, there is a makeshift platform in the backyard. In front of the table, there are tables, chairs, coffee tables and the like, and some melon and fruit snacks.

The man greeted these guests warmly into the backyard, and whoever invited them would be greeted by someone's maid and let them sit down and eat some snacks or something.

Among them, some people want to go backstage to have a look. Several top names together, the opportunity is rare, not to mention, there are celebrities from Ying Tianfu.

However, the maids are not vegetarians either, and they deal with it in a few words. These literati and writers paid some attention to their faces, but they did not force them.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the store, so loud that even a few people who were preparing in the background could hear it.

So, the shopkeeper was called over to ask about the situation.

"A few owners, there are some street pawns at the door without invitations, and they insist on breaking in to listen to the music. I didn't let them in, and I made a fuss at the door. If it weren't for Li Zhu, who was invited by the villain from the yamen, to watch it quickly, I am afraid that he would have broken in. ”

When the second proprietor heard this, he immediately ordered: "Go and tell them that the prince will come today, who will make trouble?" ”

Between the words, it was very hard.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was slightly stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he opened his mouth to say something. However, after thinking about it, he still agreed, turned and left.

"What do you mean?" When the second proprietor saw it, he asked a little puzzled, "The shopkeeper doesn't believe it?" ”

When the big proprietor heard this, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, he will do it." When Guogong really comes, he will naturally believe it! ”

So, a few of them got ready again.

At the entrance of the store, there is indeed a lot less noise, but it is still a little noisy.

After a while, suddenly, the shopkeeper hurriedly came to the backstage and announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a person at the door, and there is no invitation letter, claiming to be Mr. Yushan, and asking the owner to come out to greet him." ”

As soon as they heard this, several owners were stunned, and then they were all overjoyed, and quickly and simply put away their makeup, and hurriedly went out of the door.

When the literati and writers in the courtyard heard this, they were all excited and followed one after another.

"It turned out to be Mr. Yu Shan who came, let's go and go together!"

"Ah, it's really worth the trip to meet Mr. Yushan in person."

“……”

An old man stood at the door of the store, standing with his hands in his hands, looking elegant. Beside him, there was also a beautiful lady attendant, and the two were talking.

As soon as several proprietors came out, they were all overjoyed, and the big proprietor headed by him immediately blessed and said: "Li Xiangjun, the slave family, I have seen Mr. Yushan, and I have seen Sister Liu!" ”

This big proprietor is Li Xiangjun, one of the eight Yans of Qin Huai, who is famous for her mellow and beautiful singing voice, but ordinary people can't hear her singing.

If it was in the original history, she would have intersected with Hou Fangyu in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

However, because of Zhang Mingwei's butterfly wings, Hou Fangyu became a family member of the thief, absconded from Jiangnan very early, and was killed by the natives of Shu in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen. Therefore, Li Xiangjun naturally has no possibility of intersection with Hou Fangyu.

And this Mr. Yu Shan is the famous Qian Qianyi who is too cold in the water and also known as the itchy scalp. Of course, he is also famous in this plane. It can be said that he is the leader of Jiangnan Shilin and is very famous.

If it weren't for Zhang Mingwei's butterfly wings, Zheng Zhilong would have listened to his reputation and let Zheng Fusong worship under him, and he changed his name to Zheng Sen. Of course, there is no such thing now!

The Li Xiangjun who accompanied him called Sister Liu was naturally Liu Rushi, who was six years older than Li Xiangjun. Her fame is naturally also big, and she is Li Xiangjun's predecessor.

When the literati and writers in the back saw it, they all stepped forward to salute and compliment Qian Qianyi.

In this regard, Qian Qianyi is used to it. just smiled faintly: "If I heard that you have a party here, let the old man come over and have a look." This is the opening of a new store, I don't know who it is, but I can invite a few people to sing on stage together? ”

When Li Xiangjun heard this, he hurriedly explained: "It was done by a few slave families who pooled money, and what they did was also a scholarly thing, which was the Yangzhou branch of "Ming Pao". ”

As soon as he heard this, Qian Qianyi's old face suddenly sank.

With his connections, of course, he knows that "Ming Pao" is actually the industry of Xingguo Gong.

For Xingguo Gong, he was actually looking forward to it at the beginning.

After all, if you have the recommendation of Xingguogong, you can soar to the sky.

Originally, he thought that with his fame, Xingguo Gong must have heard of him, and if he turned around and recommended it to the emperor, he would be able to stand high above the temple again.

As a result, he waited left and waited, and did not move; Wait, wait, still hasn't moved. After waiting for a long time, he knew that Xingguo Gong must have thought that he was not worthy of being recommended, otherwise, he would have been recommended a long time ago.

Even a local prefect of Changsha, equivalent to his juniors, was recommended to the temple and entered the cabinet, but he is still a grass people!

In this regard, Qian Qianyi was of course unhappy.

Later, he learned about the prince's southward journey, which was suggested by Xingguo Gong. Also, Xingguo Gong's approach to the local squires made him even more disgusted.

That's it, Xingguo Gong is in this Qian Qianyi's heart, it is strange to have a good impression!

Now, he knows that this is the Yangzhou branch of "Ming Pao", and he is also clear about the general situation of "Ming Pao", it is to grab the right to speak, it is strange that he is still in the mood to congratulate!
