Chapter 60: Speculation
The so-called legacy of the Han and Tang dynasties, to the new dynasty, has undergone great changes in the relishing of a group of scholars. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, Confucianism has become the only school of governing the world and the country. Then to the new dynasty, although it basically inherited that set, but culture and education ushered in an unprecedented prosperity, and etiquette and religion have also developed accordingly, so there has been some avoidance between men and women. This is also Su Xiaoyan's original intention of dressing up as a man, and there is also a restriction on "giving and receiving" between men and women.
But there is probably some suspicion of self-deception.
When Su Xiaoyan heard this, she was stunned for a moment, snorted and didn't speak, but she had other thoughts in her heart. probably secretly slandered Wang Ning's actions. In fact, after getting along for more than half a month, she was in contact with what should have been contacted, and what should not have been touched was also touched, and according to those etiquette and teachings, she was a person who couldn't get married. Thinking like this, her pretty face was flushed and she also felt cold, glanced at Wang Ning, and said secretly: "What an irresponsible man." ”
Wang Ning tilted his head and looked out the window, the sun was already hiding on the other side of the mountain, and the remaining rays of light shone through, looking around, the continuous roof tiles were bathed in the orange world, which was gentle and intoxicating.
"I went to see the people of the Li family before, and they promised to help, but I promised to transfer a few shops in the north of the city to them." Su Xiaoyan probably noticed that Wang Ning was an uninteresting elm head, so she no longer said those things that made her sensitive, but talked about what she had been busy with in the past few days.
Wang Ning retracted her gaze, looked at Su Xiaoyan, and said, "I have inquired for you, during your absence, there are still people at home who help you take care of your business, and basically you have not lost anything because of your disappearance...... So I don't think you have to do these things at all. ”
"So what should I do? Find someone to marry, husband and children? ”
Wang Ning snorted and shook his head: "I didn't mean that, you don't think your safety is more important than these businesses." You should know that you, the daughter of a small merchant, are not so qualified to ask someone to hire a golden-faced killer. ”
"What the hell do you mean?" Su Xiaoyan's eyes were slightly condensed, and she became serious, her eyes were like a sharp knife, stabbing people uncomfortable.
"It's nothing, I just think that if the business is gone, I can always earn it back, but if my life is gone, then it will be really gone."
Su Xiaoyan snorted: "But I really don't know who I offended!" On weekdays, there is some friction with the Li family and the Xue family in business, according to what you said, the person who killed me is a golden-faced killer, and the two of them don't need to spend so much money at all, rather than spending so much money to kill me, it is better to hire a few thugs to do some miscellaneous work in my shop. ”
Su Xiaoyan didn't know why, she hadn't thought about these things, but she really didn't have a clue to think about them, so she naturally didn't make sense. For a woman as resolute as her, how could she be willing to waste time on unnecessary things.
"This kind of thing can also be for money." Wang Ning took it, "I heard that that night, you received a letter at home, asking your father to prepare five thousand taels of silver, and the other party said that it was from the Tiger Head Gang. ”
Su Xiaoyan gave an idiot a look: "The Tiger Head Gang won't look at just five thousand taels of silver." ”
"Hey, that's not for sure, the people with heads and faces on top may not care about this bit of silver, and there are hundreds of miscellaneous brothers below."
"In that case, they won't lock me up in the suburbs."
Wang Ning thought about it for a while, and then looked at Su Xiaoyan with a curious expression: "It seems that there is also a big force behind you." ”
Su Xiaoyan didn't answer him, took another sip of herbal tea, and then seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, and she sneered: "Let's go to the prison tomorrow." ”
Wang Ning was startled when she heard Su Xiaoyan's sneer, and looked at her curiously at this time, looking at the somewhat unfamiliar and sinister appearance, and secretly made up her mind that she couldn't offend anyone in the future.
The sun has completely set, the night has been raised, and the lights are on. This is how the nightlife of Jiangning began.
Qinglou brothels, restaurants and tea shops, each busy.
Of course, the main body is still those literati, and they can be found everywhere, in groups of three or five, mostly comparing poetry and writing, asking for literary talents, or simply trying to find unhappiness for each other to show their ability. People are still those people, and the topic is still up to date.
After a series of changes last year, the poetry clubs of each family were hastily done, although many newcomers were discovered, but in the end, under the general trend, they did not get much recognition, and there was no first, and the scholars were arrogant, no one obeyed anyone, and they were fighting openly and secretly. Of course, each has its own bottom line, but it will not make any negative means.
In Jinfeng Building, after the original top brand Ji Qian'er was gone, a new woman named Li Qiao'er was launched, although Ji Qian'er lost a lot, but after Jinfeng Lou spent a lot of packaging, she was still able to fight with Feng Yingying on the other side, in other words, she could grow up in just a few months, and this one still had some ability, otherwise Jinfeng Lou would not be willing to spend a lot of money to promote her.
Of course, in the current situation, it is impossible to bring these things to the surface, but if someone praises it, then there is no need to be careful of being replaced by a newcomer.
This night, Li Qiaoer pushed a big social, stayed in her boudoir, and waited for something.
The night completely sank, and the big red lantern outside dizzed red to one side of the sky, like the overly whitewashed little face of the daughter's family, red as if dripping blood. The ushering in front of the Golden Wind Building, Qiao Xiaoyan has completely changed her appearance at this moment, and the rich smell of fat powder shows the extravagance of the new dynasty people embedded in their bones.
Li Qiao'er sat at the table, making tea, boiling water soaked, the tea leaves stretched out, steaming, a faint fragrance spread, opposite her, the masked woman pinched the orchid finger, the small finger gently rubbed the teacup, exhaling like an orchid.
"It's changed a lot." Taking a sip, the masked woman looked back and forth, and said with nostalgia.
Li Qiaoer smiled: "Mom said that it's okay to change here, my sister used to be too indifferent, but she didn't look like a girl in a green house." ”
The masked woman's eyes were like water, and they became more and more translucent under the hot fumigation: "Well, now Qiao'er is the master here!" This is like an answer, but it seems to be trying to change the subject.
Li Qiaoer poured tea again, and sat opposite each other, but it was really like a leisurely and tranquil relationship between relatives and friends.
It's just that the room is full of red and pink gauze tents, which inevitably reminds people of the happy things of those warblers singing and dancing.
The fragrance of tea, but it's also a thing of the past!
