Chapter 101 Fighting for the Wind and Falling into Fengtang (I)

On the shore of Taihu Lake outside Suzhou, since returning home from Yulin, Zhao Million was also relieved. When he thought of his precious son, Zhao Million was proud. Since the time of the eighteenth generation of ancestors, no one has ever been such a big official. A few days ago, when I went to the house of Zhang Xuezeng, the prefect of Suzhou, as a guest, that Master Zhang also mentioned that he wanted Zhao Kang to be recorded in the "Suzhou Mansion Chronicles", which simply made the Zhao family's face bigger.

After returning home after his son's marriage, the famous Zhao Papi in Suzhou became no longer so picky, and in order not to lose his son's face, the low-level brothel [house] that he frequented was never there again. Only occasionally spend a lot of money to go to some of the top clubs in Suzhou City, vassals are elegant, catch up with the trend, and experience the life of high-class celebrities.

For example, today, I heard that Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in Liyuan, will stage a classic "The Legend of the West Chamber".

Zhao Million is also a person who has been a showman, and now he is also learning from the young scholars in the restored society, wearing a round-necked large-sleeved shirt with a jade bottom and soap, and a square scarf on his head. Although this outfit made Zhao Million's old face look more and more obscene, Zhao Million didn't think so. After all, this is the trend in Suzhou.

got into the newly bought carriage and took the housekeeper Zhao Laocai to Luofeng Hall in the city. In the car, Zhao Laocai said: "Master, our young master has a soft spot for this Chen Yuanyuan!" ”

As long as it is about his precious son, it is definitely a great deal for Zhao Million. Immediately startled, he asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Zhao Laocai said: "The last time I went to Yulin to negotiate the marriage with the young master, the young master inadvertently revealed his infatuation with this Chen Yuanyuan, and even asked me personally if the young lady was good-looking Chen Yuanyuan. ”

Zhao Million said: "There is still such a thing? No matter how beautiful this Chen Yuanyuan is, he is just a courtesan, how can he be compared to the girl in Youxiang? ”

Zhao Laocai nodded and said: "I think so too, but master, you are a single heirloom of five generations, in order for the young master to spread out more, I think it is still necessary to pick a few more concubines for him." But ordinary women are definitely not worthy of our young master, I think Chen Yuanyuan is good. Although she has a low background, she is sought after by the scholars of Suzhou at this time, even if the young master takes her home, it will not affect the status of the young master. Of course, the most important thing is that the young master seems to like her very much. ”

Zhao Million nodded and said, "But if Kang'er wants to take a concubine, she needs to have Xiang's girl nod and agree." Now that it's so far away, we don't know what Xiang thinks. As far as the two old men of us made a rash decision, I am afraid that Xiang will be unhappy at that time, and it will not be beautiful to provoke Kang'er and their husband and wife to discord. ”

Zhao Laocai immediately came up with a lewd and evil idea: "Otherwise, just buy that Chen Yuanyuan directly and raise it at home, and then repair a book for the young lady." If the young lady agrees, then we will send someone to send Chen Yuanyuan over. If the young lady doesn't agree, then you can just take her in, sir. Otherwise, Chen Yuanyuan is very popular among the scholars in our Suzhou City, if the young master really likes her, but someone else bought her back, then the young master will definitely be sad. Just to do so would cost a lot of money. ”

Zhao Million immediately praised: "Hmm." This is a good idea, since Kang'er became the governor of Yansui, I also look at money lightly, money is something outside the body, I don't bring it in life, I don't take it away in death, what do you do with so much? How can Kang'er still look at this bit of family wealth now? When the time comes, if there is a girl in Hunan who doesn't like this Chen Yuanyuan, I will feed the tiger with my body and take her in! ”

Zhao Laocai thought in his heart: I'm afraid that the last sentence is the original intention of you, an old pervert, right?

The two drove to the gate of Luofeng Hall, and as soon as they got out of the car, a young man in his twenties came up and greeted the two with a hippie smile: "Oops! Isn't this Zhao Kang, Zhao Qian's eldest brother's father? Please be worshiped by my little nephew! ”

Zhao Million fixed his eyes, this young man he knew, his surname was Chen Dafu, he was the youngest son of the Chen boss of Suzhou Chen's cloth village, when Zhao Kang was not a jinshi, this Chen Dafu and Zhao Kang were best friends. This Chen Dafu is notorious in Suzhou City, not to mention eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, not to mention, and even has a special habit of stealing chickens and touching dogs. Chen Dafu is exactly this kind of person.

Originally, Zhao Million hated Chen Dafu very much, and thought that Zhao Kang's learning to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble was all blamed on this person's instigation and temptation. However, after Zhao Kang entered high school, this view changed. I thought in my heart: Maybe eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and stealing is just a façade, since this young master of the Chen family can be so good with Kang'er, he must be a person with connotation and taste.

And the other party took the initiative to salute very politely, and it was not good for him to ignore others. Immediately replied: "It turned out to be Chen Xian's nephew." Did the virtuous nephew also make a special trip to see Chen Yuanyuan's beauty? ”

Chen Dafu said: "Uncle Hui's words are exactly like this. Little nephew, I have long heard that Chen Yuanyuan Yan pressed Suzhou, but I have never had the opportunity to see the real face, very regretful, today I specially came to see the rise with the permission of my father. Why don't I join you with Uncle Shi today, and by the way, we can also talk about family life? ”

Zhao Million nodded and said, "As long as it's Kang'er's friend, I'm very welcome, so let's go in together!" ”

The three of them found a place in the hall to sit down, and the guys from Luofeng Hall quickly brought a pot of water to pour for a few people. Since it was the first time for Chen Dafu to enter such a high-end field, and Zhao Million didn't come often, the people here basically didn't know them. Of course, most of the people here are young students, second-generation officials, and second-generation rich, and there are very few old men like Zhao Million and Zhao Laocai.

A few more people ordered some snacks and drinks, and sat together while pulling the homely cooking, while waiting for the show to begin. But when the fifth plate of osmanthus cake was eaten, there was still no reaction on the stage. Several young and vigorous scholars were already shouting on the sidelines:

"Why doesn't Miss Chen Yuanyuan appear yet?"

"What are you Luofengtang doing today?"

"Hurry up and call Miss Chen Yuanyuan to come out and sing a song!"

"We want to watch "The Legend of the West Chamber", and we want to watch the matchmaker played by the round girl!"
