Duan Chong's Qinglou still bears Ji Wuchang's name, but almost everyone knows that this building is an industry under the name of our Wenyuan Bo Duan Chong. Why? This is Duan Chong's own order to spread the news, in order to make the gimmick bigger.

Although the Liang Dynasty had a clear stipulation that officials in the court were not allowed to engage in business, and Duan Zhong was both an earl and a professor, Duan Zhong was still the prince of Dali, so this rule could not be counted on his head, so he could take advantage of this gap to vigorously engage in propaganda activities.

And today is the opening time of Duan Chong's Qinglou, just half a month before the birthday of His Majesty Emperor Wen of Liang in Southern Liang, the entire Liang country has become a lot more festive, and Duan Chong can also use this light to attract business. Therefore, Duan Zhong personally wrote hundreds of posts and sent them out, from our Great Highness and Second Highness, down to the palace gate guards in the capital, but all the high-ranking officials in Nanjing City received posts written by Duan Chong himself, inviting these officialdom celebrities to come to visit, eat and drink.

Originally, the matter of this official's collective visit to the kiln sounded a bit absurd at first glance, but since it was a Qinglou opened by our Wen Yuanbo, the officials in the court always had to give some face, plus everyone received Duan Chong's invitation, as long as one or two people went, the others would not be criticized if they followed suit. And the most reassuring point for everyone is because of the opening of this building, His Royal Highness Xiao Beiping will definitely go. And some officials in the court "inadvertently" mentioned the matter of our Wen Yuanbo opening the Qinglou, but he just wanted to order His Majesty the Emperor, suppress Wen Yuanbo's prestige, and don't let him be too arrogant, who knows that this Liang Wendi actually took a post from the eunuch with a smile, and it was Duan Zhong's invitation: "This Wen Yuanbo also sent me a post, if it weren't for my physical discomfort, I really want to see what new tricks Wen Yuanbo can play!" If you Aiqing is going to go, show me carefully, and come back to tell me! "In this way, the emperor Lao Tzu has spoken, what else can the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty say?"

Therefore, this heavy building has not yet opened, and it has already spread in the capital. The closed disciples of our Dong scholars, the dignified Wen Yuanbo and Taixue professors, there are several high-level and important Qinglou in the world, whether it is ordinary people or rich businessmen and giants in Nanjing, they all tiptoe to squeeze into this building. After all, there will be countless officials present at that time, which is a good time for flattery and slapping horses. Therefore, in the past few days, the gate of Duan Chong's Mansion has been full of businessmen who have come to visit, and even the silver tickets sent are afraid that they are enough to pile up Duan Chong's whole person.

For silver, Duan Zhong has always been a person who does not refuse, a few thousand taels of silver in exchange for an admission ticket to the Qinglou, I am afraid this is a unique thing in the world, in exchange for weekdays, even these nobles may not be willing to come. Therefore, when he saw that his building was already so popular before it opened, Duan Zhong immediately raised the value of the building and doubled the cost of various services in the building. It has truly become a high-end place for consumption. Of course, it has not yet opened, and all the good things are just Duan Chong's vision, but Mr. Duan believes that the realization of this vision is an ironclad thing.

Of course, as the so-called few people are happy and a few people are sad, Duan Zhong is mixed in the capital, and the most unhappy thing is naturally the second prince. And what makes Xiao Beiding extremely puzzling is that it is clear that all the top brands and oirans in Nanjing City are firmly in his hands, and there is no movement in Jiangnan.

The second prince naturally knew the news of Chen Shuai's failure, but after getting the news, Xiao Beiding did not show excessive disappointment and indignation, but on the contrary, he seemed very calm and even happy, because in Xiao Beiding's opinion, if Duan Zhong was done so easily, he would have overestimated Duan Chong.

Today is the opening day of his own green building. Duan Zhong slept until noon, until his waist hurt a little, so he got up and washed up. Naturally, Zhu Siwen will take care of the things in this building, and the most prosperous time in the Qinglou is naturally at night, so the ribbon-cutting and opening of the building is also carried out at night.

After Duan Zhong had a lunch in the mansion and joked with Su'er, he got dressed and went to the Qinhuai River in a carriage. Of course, I have to mention that Su'er's cooking skills have improved a lot in the past few days, at least Duan Zhong can tell which ingredients each dish is made of.

The outer building of the building is closed to the outside during the renovation period, and idlers are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving, so this also maintains a sense of mystery to the outside world, and no one knows what is going on in this building. So much so that Duan Zhong was stopped by the guards at the door of the building, so that until Ji Wuchang was called, these guards knew that it was their master who came.

When Duan Zhong came to the building, it was only two hours away from cutting the ribbon, and there was a huge plaque in the middle of the hall, which was the name plate of the new building, which was covered by red satin, and it would be unveiled by Duan Zhong and hung at the door when it opened. All the decorations, tables and chairs in the lobby are already neatly arranged, just waiting to open for business. And many servants and maidservants in the hall are walking with food and wine, and are arranging the banquet. After all, there will be a lot of officials and nobles today, and they can't treat others badly.

The layout and arrangement of this hall were arranged by Duan Zhong himself, and Zhu Siwen supervised the construction, so Duan Zhong did not stay in the lobby too much, but went straight into the back hall to change his clothes. Today is the auspicious day of the opening, so it is natural to be cautious in dressing, and then gossip with Zhu Siwen in the house, drink tea, and wait for the opening time.

The sky gradually darkened, and seeing that the time to leave the industry was getting closer and closer, Duan Zhongzhong was also quite excited, but suddenly a subordinate knocked on the door in a panic and said, "My lord, there is some trouble outside!" ”

Duan Zhong frowned: "What's the trouble?" ”

"At this moment, there are already many officials and nobles waiting outside. It's just that the guards in the building are not allowed to enter, and they are already waiting at the door a little impatiently. ”

Duan Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he was negligent at this point. The guest who is going to be invited to the banquet today is not very noble, but because the newly opened green building has not yet been listed, it was stopped outside the building, and this face is really a little unbearable, and this heavy shelf seems to be ...... It's a little too big.

Duan Zhong shook his head and asked, "Has His Highness arrived?" ”

The subordinate said: "Your Highness has arrived!" It's also out there, the latter. I specially instructed the little one to ask the master why he didn't let people in. ”

Duan Zhong sighed: "You go out and tell him to let him stay outside, and he will be unveiled soon, but don't make a mess." ”

Now the person took the order, and Zhu Siwen on the side said: "Little master, aren't you in a hurry?" ”

Duan Chong slapped the table: "There is a hair in a hurry!" ”

By the Qinhuai River, the night in late autumn should seem a little cool, but today is exceptionally hot. Because today's Qinhuai River is crowded with people, all around a building. The owner of this building is a new upstart who has recently appeared in the city of Nanjing, Duan Chong, the second prince from Dali. And everyone is crowded at the door at the moment, waiting for the arrival of this opening moment.

The eldest prince of Xiao Beiping sat at the gate and held the field, and there were many officials' sedan chairs and sycophants below, and the officials present can also be said to be extremely big, not only our Royal Highness the eldest prince has arrived, but His Royal Highness the second prince has also arrived! Lord Wang Junpeng, the secretary of the ministry, also arrived, followed by the famous genius Wang Zhikun...... This Qinglou was originally a place for young people to enjoy, this Prime Minister, the six extremely Shangshu adults are all elderly people, this excitement is naturally not necessary, but it is still a letter to congratulate. And all the young and strong officials in the court can basically be said to be present, but it is not much different from the scene in the previous court.

Xiao Beiping and Xiao Beiding sat on their chairs and said a word, after all, the peace of the two brothers on the surface was to be maintained. And Xiao Beiping looked at the sky, it was not early, turned his head and asked the next person: "What time is it?" ”

"It's going to be time!"

Xiao Beiping nodded: "Why can't this weight come out!" As soon as the words fell, he saw that the door of the green building was finally opened, and Duan Zhong walked in the front and sold it in stride, followed by several big men carrying a huge plaque! At the same time, the roar of firecrackers also sounded, deafening, and the air was suddenly filled with the smell of gunsmoke.

The band that had been prepared on the side also played, and suddenly there was a big joy on the boundless Qinhuai River, and it suddenly changed its temperament and was cheerful...... Disastrous.

Duan Zhong stood at the door, first saluted the two highnesses, and then bowed to all the officials present. Naturally, there is no need to say anything about this, because the sound of this firecracker is already too loud, and Duan Chong may not be able to hear it clearly even if he shouts no matter how hard he fights.

Duan Zhong didn't have much of it, just waved his hand, and several big men behind him had already lifted the plaque out. Someone came up with a red satin plate with two pairs of scissors in it. The person who cut the ribbon was naturally the two most noble highnesses present.

Xiao Beiping brothers will not shirk this kind of thing, one took a pair of scissors, and cut off the color head, and the brocade satin fell to the ground, revealing the true face of this plaque in the applause of everyone, and the four bronzing characters that are extremely conspicuous:

Heaven and earth.

The inscription is the name of the Confucian Dong University of Liang Guoda: Dong Zhongshu.
