Chapter 255: April Rain
From mid-April onwards, it is gloomy for several days, heralding the arrival of the rainy season in the new year.
On the dimly lit street, a group of men dressed in lily clothes and hats transported several truckloads of goods to the gate of Gusu Art Garden.
"The bell guard is here." When the art garden saw the visitor, he immediately stepped forward and smiled.
"Hmm." The man at the head took off the hat, and the face he showed was really Zhong Xiaoshi.
"The owner is here?" Zhong Xiaoshi asked.
"It's here, in the attic." The nurse said.
Zhong Xiaoshi nodded, turned around and asked Zhong Xiaoyi to lead someone to unload the goods, and he walked quickly to the attic.
"Master!" Coming to the attic, Zhong Xiaoshi bowed down and hugged his fists at Dong Ce, who was practicing the guzheng.
As soon as the melodious guzheng melody stopped, Dong Ce turned around, looked at Zhong Xiaoshi and said, "Here, how is the situation in Jinling?" ”
Zhong Xiaoshi hurriedly took out a thick letter from his arms and handed it to Dong Ce.
After receiving the letter, Dong Ce first asked Zhong Xiaoshi to go down to eat, and then opened it to read it.
This letter was written by Meng Feng, which not only talked about the recent situation of the art garden, but also the chamber of commerce, and the development of Jinling.
Yiyuan's business is as usual, but the Three Kingdoms scripts he left behind are only seventy times, and now that they are all finished, Meng Feng has no choice but to stop the night drama again, and at the same time urge him to write the script quickly and let Zhong Xiaoshi send it back.
In addition, the Chamber of Commerce has also faced a lot of trouble, because ninety percent of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, in the wind of rising prices, are almost all reselling, and rarely dare to ship goods back to Ningzhou, which also leads to them are now running out of goods, but when they go out to buy goods, they are closed, and many businessmen in other places are rejecting Ningzhou.
Dong Ce didn't worry too much about this, after all, there were still some businessmen who had a lot of goods in stock, as long as they jointly bought and sold each other at a market price. Spread out flat, enough to hold on for another month or two.
However, the fact that Ren Gengji, the envoy of the Du Branch, was escorted back by the imperial court at the beginning of the month made Dong Ce very depressed!
Because this represents the determination and strength of Taiping Dao, even if you are the little man of the Queen Mother, as long as you dare to smear them, you will still be killed!
At the same time as Ren Gengji was escorted away, the imperial court also issued an edict. Half of the money donated by the people was returned to the people, and the other half was ordered by the government to Qin Qi to use the relief of the victims and the construction of bridges to pave the road.
And the reason why Taiping Dao was not allowed to do this, Dong Ce guessed, it should be that they wanted to break off the relationship with Ren Gengji, but Taiping Dao was not stupid, and used his method to start raising donations, writing a book of good people, and promising to set up monuments in all temples. Let the lives of the good be passed on to the world forever.
This step is played well, and the people really don't say bad things about Taiping Dao anymore, after all, a guy who was dismissed and escorted back to Beijing by Ren Gengji, who was finally dismissed from his post and escorted back to Beijing, how can he compare to what Taiping Dao has done for Jiangnan now!
Dong Ce was suddenly worried about Qin Qi, although he had been playing a victim, he couldn't hide the prying eyes of those who had a heart, especially the final ending. The benefits were almost all taken up by him, and hundreds of thousands of taels of charity were in his hands. And he will certainly not spend all this money in Jinling, but will have to allocate some to other prefectures or counties, and at that time, the officials who want to relieve the disaster victims in their own jurisdiction will not have to step on his threshold.
The final winner will inevitably make some people uncomfortable. Naturally, he had to find a way to trample him down.
However, there are people in his capital, and those who are not good for him may not be able to hinder his official path, the most important thing is that among the sixteen government orders in Jiangnan today, only his name is the loudest, and it is difficult for him to convince the public if he is not promoted!
Qin Qi's promotion is naturally a good thing for Dong Ce. But it's also a bit bad, that is, who will be the next government commander?
After reading the letter, Dong Ce took out the charcoal pencil directly from his sleeve, wrote a reply, looked at the sky, and found that he couldn't see it at all, turned his head and wanted to ask Le Xia what time it was, but when he saw that she was quickly fiddling with the abacus, he smiled bitterly, got up and stretched his bones, and walked out of the attic.
Handing over the letter to Zhong Xiaoshi, Dong Ce took a turn in the art garden, paid special attention to the design of the advertising canvas, and found that they were all sewn according to his own drawings, so he was relieved.
For several days, it was a hazy day and intermittent rain, which is the rainy season in the south.
In the early morning of another day, Dong Ce, who was dressed in white and black, still became a landscape in the art garden.
Many people don't know why Dong Ce wears it like this, and it feels strange at first, but after looking at it for a long time, it has a different flavor, and some men have followed suit.
At this point, Gusu's sons and buddies are obviously more fashion-conscious than Jinling.
"Master, what's going on?" Lu Xiaoxiao was wearing the same costume as Dong Ce, just like an exhibitionist, and he ripped off the big gun and turned around in front of Dong Ce.
"It's a monkey hanging from a tree." Dong Ce said sarcastically and walked to the theater.
It's not that Lu Xiaoxiao learned from him to wear it like this, but that this girl still looked like he had seen through the red dust that day, but recently, because Liu Su often came to the art garden, he had a lot of opportunities to contact Liu Niangzi, and the mood naturally returned to the past.
After a month of hard practice, Dong Ce has been able to play Fengqiu Phoenix well, and now, he has begun to focus on rehearsals.
“…… Sad and miserable, there is no need to cry when you get married. I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated! ”
Lu Qing lay on the desk and wept, picked up a pen and a book, and sang with tears, which made the rest of the actors and backstage employees feel uncomfortable and secretly wiped their tears.
"Stop, stop!" Dong Ce, who was sitting in the corner of the stage, pointed his palm, and after screaming three times in a row, Lu Qing's crying voice was stagnant, and everyone looked at Dong Ce in confusion.
"Boss, is there anything wrong with this arrangement?" Lu Qing frowned slightly.
"It's a big problem." Dong Ce got up, walked into Lu Qing, and said, "Why do you sing the song so clearly and so high when you sing to the point that you wish to win one heart and are not separated?" ”
"Shouldn't that be?" Although Lu Qing's eyes were still a little red, his expression was very serious, and he said seriously: "I think this is the only way to express her wish at that time, and to raise these two sentences to the top, and the last four sentences can slowly descend and shine into a prominent atmosphere, isn't this what the owner has always emphasized?" ”
"Come on." Dong Ce shook his head again and again, and said: "What is it, you are simply moaning without illness like this, the audience's sad emotions are all ruined by your promotion, this is not to boost morale, how can you be excited?" ”
After saying something, Lu Qing's face turned crimson, and Liu Su, who was watching the play in the audience, couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker, this was the first time she came to see the rehearsal, she didn't expect it to be so interesting, especially Dong Ce's gentle and elegant attitude, opening his mouth to either scold or count people, which made her extremely interesting.
"What do you say, owner?" Although Lu Qing thinks it's okay to act like that, she knows better that Dong Ce's views can often be more in-depth.
"Don't soar the high notes, just sing straight, but, the first four sentences, you need to be expressionless, and then start choking, and each singing sentence of the mood to improve a layer, when singing the wish to get a heart of people, then begin to cry more than tears, can not write down, at this time you have to lie on the desk for a few breaths, weep for a moment, and then slowly prop up, slowly raise your head, repeat the singing of the wish to have a heart, the white head is not separated, these two sentences are finished, it is to show that you are hurt to the top, even the strength to hold the pen is gone, at this time, when the left hand grabs the right wrist, Push yourself to finish this poem slowly! Got it? (To be continued.) )
