Chapter 61: A Genius Who Eats, Drinks, Prostitutes, and Gambling
Wang Jian's discovery in the morning made Wang Jian extremely excited, knowing that the people live on food, and the reason why the population of the Qing Dynasty was able to exponentially grow was closely related to the introduction of these new crops into China.
In the Tianxin Water Painting Pavilion on the shore of Daming Lake, Wang Jian said while eating the food prepared by Yao'er: "Qianqian, your brother is really a talent. He was full of praise and said: "No, it's my Ming genius!" ”
Wang Qianqian looked at Wang Jian with a worried face: Didn't you eat that tomato with some poison, otherwise why would you be talking nonsense? My younger brother is a gentleman's second ancestor, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything, what kind of talent is it.
Wang Shizhen was about to be detained by the casino for three days, and Wang Qianqian asked worriedly: "Brother Jane, my younger brother..."
"Oh. I almost forgot, Cheng'en, go to Ruyi Fang and bring Wang Shizhen back to me, I want to reward him heavily. Wang Jian took a bite of the fat but not greasy handle, and said to Wang Chengen, who was waiting next to him.
Wang Chengen took the order and left.
"Sit down, you can eat with me." Somehow, Wang Jian likes Wang Qianqian very much, as long as she is next to her, not only has a fragrant and cool atmosphere, but more importantly, it can also calm Wang Jian's mind.
Wang Jian put a piece of meat in her bowl, but Wang Qianqian didn't move the chopsticks, she apologized: "Brother Jian, the folk girl only eats vegetarian food on weekdays. ”
Wang Jian heard her say this, and looked her up and down again: she was dressed in a white plain dress, and there were no gold and jade accessories on her body, as if the gold and jade things were too tacky and not worthy of her delicate and elegant temperament. The whole person gives people the feeling that it is simply clear water out of hibiscus, and it is naturally carved and decorated.
Looking at Wang Qianqian's shocked face, Wang Jian couldn't help but think of Chen Yuanyuan, she and Chen Yuanyuan are like people from two worlds, Chen Yuanyuan is plump and charming, and Wang Qianqian is slender and gentle.
Yao'er heard that she didn't eat meat, so she brought her a bowl of sweet foam: "Sister Qian, then you eat this." ”
Wang Qianqian glanced at Yao'er gratefully, said "thank you", and ate it in small bites.
"Yao'er, where is Yuanyuan?" Wang Jian asked seemingly casually, since that day at the White Deer Academy, I hadn't seen her for several days.
Yao'er pursed her lips and smiled: I miss people very much, but I always pretend not to care. She didn't pierce Wang Jian, and replied: "Sister Yuanyuan came back this morning, but she hasn't woken up yet." She also brought back a girl, Brother Emperor, you say it's strange. ”
"Jiangnan Pipa Song, Shandong Jinzhong Book." This is the world's widely praised double masterpiece at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Qianqian just heard "Chen Yuanyuan", a singer with the same name as her, her mind moved slightly, and then she pretended to eat sweet foam carelessly. Wang Jian didn't notice these details, but let Yao'er see them.
"Oh? Bring back a girl? Wang Jian is also very curious, according to Chen Yuanyuan's temper, she has always been alone, and the people she originally intended to be close to except her stepfather Wang Chengen, there was only the simple and kind Yao'er.
Wang Jian also knew that the reason why Chen Yuanyuan stayed by his side was that in addition to having nowhere to go, a large part of the original intention was also because of her stepfather Wang Chengen.
"Yes, that girl, well, how to say it, a little angry, with a little face, as if the whole world owes her." Yao'er said with a lot of whispers, she was just scolded by that girl this morning.
When Wang Jian heard it, he was a little happy, this is in line with Chen Yuanyuan's strange personality, what kind of person is looking for what kind of maid.
The two most prosperous streets in Jinan City, one is called Phoenix Street and the other is called Biwu Street. Since ancient times, yellow gambling is not separated, if the Phoenix Street is named after the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, then Biwu Street is a metaphor for the phoenix Wutong, there are many gambling houses on Biwu Street, this Ruyi Square is located in the west of the city on Biwu Street.
Wang Chengen came to Ruyifang, and Wang Chengen was accompanied by Tongzhi Li Siduan.
It is said that the boss of this Ruyi Fang is also very good at being a person, in order to tie Li Siduan, he gave Li Siduan two layers of dry shares, on weekdays, Li Siduan also took a lot of care of Ruyi Fang, even if the boss of Ruyi Fang chased gambling debts and forced other people's families to die, Li Siduan also turned a blind eye.
It stands to reason that Li Siduan received the silver from Ruyifang, and he shouldn't be embarrassed by Ruyifang, but today it was the emperor who came to him in person to ask for someone from Dongchang, and he had to go out in person.
Li Siduan shouted with official authority: "Boss Shen, get out of here." ”
Boss Shen's real name is Shen Da, no one cares about him since he was a child, he grew up eating hundreds of meals, and the neighbors around him called him the boss of the Shen family, and later he became famous, and the boss of the Shen family became known as Boss Shen.
At this moment, he was holding Sister Yao who was found from the Qinglou on Phoenix Street happy, and when he heard that his subordinates reported that Lord Tongzhi personally led people to surround his casino, he hurriedly ran out.
Boss Shen looked at this posture, sneered in his heart, but said: "The little Shen Da sees Lord Li, I don't know what Lord Li has to do to find the little one?" ”
"Boss Shen, are you guilty?"
"Master Li, I don't know what offended you about the little one?"
Li Siduan glanced at Wang Chengen, "Hmph, this official sees that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." He shouted, "Someone, tie him up!" ”
There have long been rumors in Jinan City that the martial arts of Boss Shen, the owner of Ruyi Fang, are unfathomable, otherwise how can a poor egg who grew up eating hundreds of meals open a casino?
But at this moment, he didn't resist, and let the two big men on the left and right tie him up.
Li Siduan looked at Wang Chengen again and said flatteringly: "Princess, look..."
Wang Chengen sat on the upper seat and said slowly: "The miscellaneous family only needs Wang Shizhen, as for the others, the miscellaneous family has no right to ask." ”
When Boss Shen saw Li Siduan's attitude, he was obviously obedient to the eunuch, and he shouted in his heart: It's done!
Although he was very excited in his heart, he still had to do enough to play, and he struggled and said: "The little one is not guilty, and the little one is wronged!" ”
Li Siduan answered: "What are you wronged? This government asks you, where is the prince? ”
Boss Shen pretended to be confused and said, "Prince Wang, which prince is it?" ”
"Don't pretend to be confused with this official, of course it's Wang Shizhen of Qiuliuyuan!" Li Siduan reminded again: "Be careful to answer, if the prince is missing a hair, be careful of your head!" ”
Shen Lao Dao: "Yes... Yes, the little one is really wronged, Wang Gongzi is upstairs at the moment, the villain has been a good meal and drink in the past three days, and he has never treated him badly, if you don't believe it, the villain will take you there. ”
Li Siduan motioned left and right to untie him, and the group came upstairs.
For gamblers, what happens downstairs has nothing to do with them, and even if there is a fire downstairs, some fanatical gamblers may not pay attention to it.
At this time, Wang Shizhen was the kind of fanatical gambler, he was really as Boss Shen said, holding a kiln sister in his left and right hands, very merry, and his front was also full of silver taels, he yelled from time to time, and gambled happily.
