Chapter 020: Southeast Green
Shanghe Street is the most prosperous commercial street in Taicang Prefecture, which Daozi knows, because there are seven or eight shops of his own on that street, among which there are grain shops, restaurants, pawnshops, cloth shops and the like.
On the way, Daozi was pointed by the pedestrians on the street, and he heard what everyone said with his ears, which probably meant to say: Now that the world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, and men and women are involved in broad daylight.
If Daozi is not a traveler and does not have the mind of an adult, he will definitely not feel anything, after all, he is only a seven-year-old boy when he is old, isn't it normal for a seven-year-old boy and a seven-year-old girl to pull and pull?
It's just that Daozi is a person with adult thoughts after all, and now he is being held by a little Lori, and he still can't help but blush. He tried to break away from Jiayi's little witch's hand several times, but he didn't succeed, and in the end he had no choice but to make a bitter face, and shouted in his heart: A big man with memories of two lives was actually led by a little Lori "nose" away, where is the reason, where is it?
But Jiayi's hands are so comfortable to touch!
Jiayi pulled Daozi to see the excitement, Daozi was reluctant to be quiet by nature, but later I heard the little witch say that there was a famous music troupe to sing music, and she swore that the class owner was a big man.
Hearing that it was a big person, Daozi was also disdainful, no matter how big the character was, it was just a singer.
Thinking about the "bitches are unrighteous and the drama is ruthless" and "big dye vats" in the republic, Daozi naturally will not have any good feelings. It's just that he thought about it and thought that there was nothing to do today, so it was better to accompany this little witch to take a look, learn more about the life of small citizens in this era, and do some common sense accumulation for himself to make fewer mistakes in the future.
"Did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
"Oh, brother! How did you get this information so ill-informed? Oh, forget it, let me tell you, little brother."
"Liang Qingyi was invited by the rich man of Ma to sing in the Southeast Green Tea House"
"Huh?!"
"Ahhhh There is something even more exciting, it is said that Liang Qingyi and his old man are going to perform in person this time."
"Isn't it! Liang Qingyi hasn't sung on stage in Taicang Mansion for ten years, right? If we do play, we're going to cheer for it anyway."
"Who's to say it isn't?"
β¦β¦
On the way to Shanghe Street, Daozi heard many people whispering about it.
Daozi listened while walking on the road, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became, secretly wondering who this Liang Qingyi was? Why is it so famous?
He searched for the memories of the two lives he knew, but he didn't find a person named Liang Qingyi in the Ming Dynasty. But he thought about it, Taicang was a land of projectiles for the entire Ming Dynasty after all, and it was already unprecedented for Wang Shizhen, the leader of the "Later Seven Sons", to come out, do you still expect other celebrities to fail?
Thinking to himself, Daozi and his party soon came to Shanghe Street. Shanghe Street is somewhat similar to Wuzhen in later generations, separated by a river, lined with shops, and connected by twelve arched jade bridges.
At this time, there are people coming and going on the river street, and there is an endless stream, and in the river, many boatmen are rowing boats. The shouting of street vendors, the whispering of pedestrians, the sound of naughty children running and playing, and the occasional scolding sound lingered in Daozi's ears, although it was noisy, but it made Daozi feel so unwarm at the moment.
The Wu family and the Ma family are opposites, and Daozi can also be seen in the layout of the two shops, the Wu family's shops are all located on the south bank, and the shops face north, while the Ma family is the opposite.
Daozi didn't go to his shop to see how the business was, because he was being pulled by Jiayi across the Jade Bridge to the Ma family's southeast green teahouse at this time.
The teahouse is different from the teahouse in the Tang Dynasty, because the teahouse in the Ming Dynasty has more theatrical performances, like storytelling, listening to music and the like.
Dongnanqing is the only place in Taicang Mansion that has fixed theatrical performances, and it is also a commercial field that Wu Dashan's family has never been involved in.
It's not that Wu Dashan doesn't want to be involved, but all the famous teams in Taicang Mansion are occupied by the Ma family, if you invite an unknown team to perform, there will be no listeners at all, even if you introduce a famous team from other places, but the tea guests who are used to the Taicang accent will not buy these people's accounts.
Wu Dashan is a shrewd person, and after thinking about it carefully, he came to the conclusion that it is too difficult for his Wu family to survive under the competition of the Ma family in this teahouse, so it is better not to open it and expand the business field to other directions.
Daozi looked at this two-story teahouse with a very Jiangnan style, and secretly praised it in his heart. At this moment, the little witch's angry voice came from the crowd: "Why don't you let us in?" β
Daozi looked over and saw two sturdy middle-aged men blocking Jiayi's way.
"Miss Xu can go in, is it just this little master? But no! In front of the two sturdy men stood a steward, who pointed to the road as he spoke.
Daozi secretly wondered when he heard this, why couldn't he enter? It's just that the next moment he understood, because Xu Jiayi told the Ma family that he was the young master of the Wu family.
The little witch sees you smart, why are you so stupid? The Wu family and the Ma family are opposites, if you tell my identity to the Ma family, isn't that making it difficult for the other party to find a way to come up with an idea?
After Daozi learned the truth, he despised the little witch Jiayi in his heart.
Jiayi heard that she was going to open her teeth and claws to get angry if she didn't let Daozi enter, Daozi stepped forward and grabbed her, then looked at the person in charge, and said lightly: "Taicang Mansion is very big, and the big one can not only accommodate the Wu family and the Ma family, but also accommodate tens of millions of families. β
When the consul heard Daozi's words, he couldn't help but glance at Daozi more, and was slightly surprised in his heart, because listening to his words was not as ruly-bumping as the rumors said.
It's just that this is also the consul's short-term thoughts, and he sneered the next moment, a child is a child, and his mind is always so naΓ―ve! Who in this world thinks that their family business is small?
At this time, there were many onlookers, and they pointed at Daozi.
"This is the little young master of the Wu family? Hey, this looks good, but why are you stupid, I don't know if my family and the Ma family are like fire and water? Now that you come to someone's teahouse, isn't this making yourself uncomfortable? β
"Who's to say it isn't?"
"Hey, look at it, there's a good show to watch"
Everyone was talking nonsense. Jiayi glared at everyone angrily when she heard it, but everyone was not afraid of this little girl Jiayi. Although Jiayi's grandfather is a famous doctor in Taicang Mansion, there is more than one famous doctor in Taicang Mansion, which is the confidence of these onlookers.
Looking at the consul's appearance, Daozi knew that it was impossible for him to go in and listen to the music, and he was about to tell the little witch to let her listen to it herself.
At this moment, a richly dressed young man walked out of the teahouse, and his appearance should be about the same age as Daozi.
When the consul and the sturdy man behind him saw it, they all bowed down and called to see the little master.
Everyone on the lookers exclaimed, could it be that he is Ma Yifei, the son of Ma Yuanwai, who is known as Ma Yifei, the first prodigy of the same generation in Taicang Mansion!?
