Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 264 Three cups and two lamps to pay tribute to Yangzhou
"Senior brother, is there any good way to solve it now?" Cao Yi asked in a low voice, he was not afraid that he would be in any danger, it was nothing more than a little embarrassing, but he was afraid that he would offend a large number of people inside and outside the venue at the beginning, so that his drunken immortal building might be collectively boycotted before it opened.
"It's easy to do, I'll explain later, they should give me some thin noodles, the main thing now is to let them disperse on their own, don't gather here, otherwise after some people's bewitchment and instigation, it's easy to have an accident." Shi Chengxuan patted Cao Yi on the shoulder and said in a low voice, Cao Yi also nodded knowingly, feeling that this matter was indeed a little inexplicable, and I don't know which turtle son was the first to say that he came to Yangzhou to show off his might.
Shi Chengxuan took two steps forward at this time, clapped his hands twice, and after attracting everyone's attention, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, I am Shi Chengxuan, I can guess why you came here, but what I want to say, there must be some misunderstanding in this." ”
Shi Chengxuan's reputation in Yangzhou is not bad, after all, he is the first talent, and most young people know him, but even if he doesn't know him, after hearing his introduction, he also knows it, and at this moment the surroundings began to talk quietly.
Shi Chengxuan pointed back at Cao Yi, and then said loudly: "This is my little brother Cao An, who just arrived in Yangzhou in the morning, and at noon because he came to see me, he brought his five wives with him......
When Shi Chengxuan said "five wives", the people around instantly buzzed, and they seemed to be shocked by this sentence, after all, these five people, one alone is already the existence of the national color and natural fragrance, but listening to what Shi Chengxuan said, it turned out that the five are the wives of this young man in white, this is not only the blessing of Qi people, it is simply the blessing of Qi Tian...... However, if it is really as Shi Chengxuan said, these five beautiful women are the wives of this young man, then they really need to bring a few more guards with them.
Everyone thought that if they had such a beautiful wife, if the conditions permitted, it would not be too much to bring twice as many guards.
However, Yu Youwei and the five of them with red sleeves were said to be Cao Yi's wives in so many onlookers, and they also felt shy for a while, their faces were covered with redness, and they glanced at Cao Yi shyly, which made the already beautiful and moving face even more glamorous, and the peach blossoms on the human face were nothing more than that.
Cao Yi was actually quite dizzy, originally thinking that he was at the private seat gate
Mouth, Shi Chengxuan and the other three people looked at Yu Youwei and Red Sleeves and others at the beginning with a "fair lady, good gentleman", and Cao Yi planned to have a good relationship with them at that time, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he said that these five were all rewarded to him by "Cao Yi".
Because in this era, talented people are all pretentious, and the maids and maids have no status, and it is really very likely that others will directly ask Cao Yi for it, and there is even a saying that the maid and the maid will be changed. Although the status of concubines is not very high, there are examples of exchanging concubines for concubines, and even bartering concubines, but at least the status is much higher than that of maids and maids, and in some aspects it can still be protected by law and morality.
Cao Yi didn't expect that it was just an excuse before, but now he is in and out wrongly, and everyone knows that these five people are his wives, and it is estimated that now, he and even the five people of Red Sleeves and Yu Youwei will be famous in Yangzhou City, Cao Yi sighed in his heart and shook his head slightly.
I don't know if Shi Chengxuan's words played a role or the reality of "five are all wives" was too shocking, and when Shi Chengxuan finished speaking, the scene was cold for a while. Although everyone is still in a state of onlookers, but there is no longer the previous provocation and hostility in their eyes, Cao Yi knows that it is time to behave himself, even if he is soft now, express his attitude, and admit cowardice, it is better than becoming a public enemy of the whole people just after entering Yangzhou at this time.
So Cao Yi took a step forward, clasped his fists in his chest with both hands, and said to the crowd: "All the talents and young talents in Yangzhou, the younger brother Cao An, from Jiangning, is just arrived in Yangzhou in the morning, and has always heard that Yangzhou is full of treasures and outstanding people, and it should be called the famous capital of Huaizuo, the title of the best place in Zhuxi, whether it is Li Taibai's fireworks in Yangzhou in March, or Du Fanchuan's spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road and the bright moon night of the twenty-four bridges, they are deeply attracted to my little brother. Moreover, the eldest brother of Yangzhou's first talented teacher, Chengxuanshi, is the first famous man in Huaizuo, and it also makes my younger brother admire, so I specially rushed to Yangzhou to pay homage to one or two...... Because the little brother is a newcomer, if there is something wrong or bad, I hope you will give me advice, of course, I also hope that you can be Haihan. ”
As soon as Cao Yi's words were finished, the people around looked at each other, they originally had no deep hatred for Cao Yi, or rather, they had no impression of this "Cao An" at all, it was nothing more than listening to others, saying that in the Biyun Building on Zhuque Street, there was a foreigner, with five beautiful maids and a few evil servants to show off their might, so as a contemporary young talent in Yangzhou with a sense of belonging and honor, he naturally wanted to suppress the hateful foreigners, so he rushed over.
Most of the people here basically came over like this, but now they have heard the introduction of Yangzhou's first talented teacher, Shi Chengxuan, and Cao An's own words
The behavior has nothing to do with the image of "a foreigner who shows off his might", and the five wives brought by others are indeed too beautiful, seeing that this Cao An is also a scholar like them, and he is not good at fighting and killing, and it is normal to take guards to protect his wife's room, so when I think about it, everyone's impression of Cao Yi has changed greatly.
Besides, this Cao An's attitude is very upright, and he puts his rest of Yangzhou, the rest of Yangzhou's talents, and the rest of the people present very low, since others give them face, they feel that they also have to cover this face, so there are many people who have politely expressed their attitudes at the moment, saying some words such as where and there, welcome and welcome.
Although Cao An only said one paragraph just now, because the people who rushed over with the rumors before were basically either rich or expensive, or talented scholars, at least they had read books for several years, and they all had a little ink in their stomachs, so they could naturally judge the weight contained in Cao Yi's words.
Li Taibai's fireworks in Yangzhou in March, Du Fanchuan's spring breeze ten miles Yangzhou Road and the twenty-four bridges of the bright moon night will not be said, a little read a few books, most of them know that the same is true of Huaizuo, but Zhuxi Jia can reflect the level of Cao An. The word "Zhuxi" is reflected in the poems of many famous poets of the Tang Dynasty, the most famous is Du Mu's "Who knows Zhuxi Road, and the song is Yangzhou".
"Zhuxi" is a proper noun with profound historical and cultural connotations for Yangzhou, with a huge time and space span, far-reaching historical influence and beautiful cultural charm. This word has infinite associations: about the long history, about the ancient city of Yangzhou, about important people, about Buddhist temples, about beautiful scenery...... Therefore, Cao An's "Zhuxi Jiajia" is just four words, and his erudition and the fact that he really loves the city of Yangzhou are fully expressed.
Then Shi Chengxuan said a few good words for Cao An, Cao Yi himself climbed up the flagpole, and said a few more words, a somewhat inexplicable "conflict" ended in a kind and friendly atmosphere. In order to completely increase everyone's good impression of him, Cao Yi also spent a sum of money to let Biyun Restaurant pour wine three times for everyone present, and he toasted three glasses in a row, one to Yangzhou, one to everyone about Yangzhou, and one to all the celebrities and talents present.
However, Cao Yi did this, but also reaped some unexpected benefits, that is, he, the name "Cao An", after passing this incident, is bound to spread throughout Yangzhou City, five flower-like wives, a small name of talent, this is the impression of Yangzhou talented scholars and those noble sons and brothers, which in the follow-up opening of the Drunken Immortal Building, also really helped him a lot.
