Chapter 267: Mistaken Intentions
Judging a winner from among the four, Ye Yu has now completed this seemingly impossible problem. He Yong, who is known as the Four Uniques of Eastern Zhejiang, and others failed to stump Ye Yu, making the four of them both admired and red-faced.
Then several people chatted for a long time, and this party, which seemed to be a Hongmen feast, did not end until sunset.
Zhao Yi invited him to drink on his birthday three days later, and Ye Yu naturally did not refuse. After Zhao Yi and the five of them left Qinxiang Building, Ye Yu saw that it was getting late, so he didn't delay, and he was about to leave here.
However, at this time, Qiu Niang of Qinxianglou kept it with a smile.
Ye Yu looked at Qiu Niang, who was over thirty years old but still charming, so he smiled: "Ye didn't have silver taels on him, if he didn't leave, I'm afraid my sister would let the little girl drive me away......"
Ye Yu's sister's voice made Qiu Niang feel scared. For a woman of her age, she has long passed the flowering season of 'meeting a handsome man's heart', but Ye Yu's soft call made her feel like rejuvenation.
"Ouch, what are you talking about, if you live here for a year and a half, Qiu Niang will be happy to put money upside down......"
As the old bustard of this Qinxiang Building, Qiu Niang is not only tactful and skillful, but also extremely skillful in this charm and demeanor. In front of Ye Yu, he was casually fiddling with his demeanor, but he felt dazzled.
However, Ye Yu listened to Qiu Niang's words, and looked a little crying and laughing. What does it mean to live for a year and a half, and what does it mean to stick silver upside down? Why does it sound so awkward?
"Hehe, my sister's kindness, Ye Mou has it, and if I have time in the future, I will definitely come to cheer......"
Qiu Niang was holding his arm at the moment, Ye Yu pulled out very embarrassedly, and then took out a few bills from his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Here is a thousand taels of ......money."
"Official, this is ......"
"Ye knows what happened today, and my sister will definitely hype it up in the future, Ye understands this kind of means of attracting customers, and naturally he will not stop it! I just hope that my sister can promote it truthfully, don't add oil and vinegar, do you understand? ”
At the end of Ye Yu's words, his tone gradually became a little cold. Qiu Niang is a seasoned person, and when she saw Ye Yu's demeanor, words and deeds, she already knew the deep meaning.
Then he smiled, and patted Ye Yu's heart with such a weak jade hand: "The official can rest assured, the reputation of the official is a matter of importance, and Qiu Niang will not add oil and vinegar to the wanton exaggeration." ”
Qiu Niang said, raised the money in her hand, exhaled in Ye Yu's ear Fang Lan said: "Just by the official's sister, there are more than two thousand taels, and the official is relieved to ......."
"That's good! That's good...... Leave! Ye Yu coughed dryly, then took half a step back, then turned around and left Qinxiang Building directly.
Watching the slightly wolf Ye Yu leave Qinxiang Building, Qiu Niang did not stop her, but looked at Ye Yu's back and smiled.
"He's gone?"
Zhihua hurriedly ran out of the wing, but found that Ye Yu had already left, the feeling of lost soul and loneliness was on his face, and the roll of danqing in his arms couldn't help but hug a little tighter.
Qiu Niang looked back and saw the reluctance on Zhihua's face, and then sighed faintly: "Silly daughter, don't think about it, how can you do what people want?" ”
"Mother, my daughter is just ...... There is no extravagant hope...... "Zhihua bowed his head and spoke, and his speech was intermittent.
"That's good, we are dusty women, destined to be involuntarily. Voted by Master Ye in public, now you are ranked first among the four major Oiran, and you will definitely become famous in the future, why worry about not marrying a good family!? ”
Qiu Niang's persuasion, Zhihua had to nod yes.
After Qiu Niang left, Zhihua still stood in front of the door and stared at the direction of Ye Yu's departure, and hugged the picture scroll in his arms tightly with a complicated expression......
……
On a moonlit night, when Ye Yu returned to Xingyuan, it was already nightfall.
Along the way, Ye Yu was very depressed in his heart, thinking that this banquet was really a big loss, not only to deal with one problem after another during the banquet, but also to lose an extra thousand taels when he left.
He Ye Yu is not short of money, but he can't waste it like this!
A fortune of 1,000 taels is enough for the ordinary people of the two families to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and now they are so easily given away.
Ye Yu has wasted a lot of money over the years, and he has never cared, but this time he spent the money in the Qinglou, which was somewhat uncomfortable. The most important thing is that the money was spent, but I didn't get into a trace of catfish.
Is it worth it? Ye Yu felt a little worthless.
But then again, it is quite worth it to be able to use a thousand taels of property so that Qiu Niang will not wantonly publicize it.
According to Ye Yu's estimate, Qinxianglou will become the focus of Fuzhou City within three days, because the juxtaposition of the four major Oiran has finally been broken, and the person who broke the situation is him, a scholar.
At that time, someone will definitely ask, so Qiu Niang will become the source of rumors.
If you don't use money and deterrence, Qiu Niang will definitely play it up, the real plot is mysterious, and the plot without it adds fuel and vinegar, this is the embryonic phenomenon of the entertainment industry.
Ye Yu is not afraid of Qiu Niang's publicity, he is worried about nonsense, the court officials are nostalgic for the land of fireworks, which is already a bad influence, especially if he is the Qin Cha of the Heavenly Patrol, if he gets into a few romantic affairs, it will not end well.
Back in Xingyuan, Ye Yu came to the inner courtyard alone, only Cao Xueying's room on the second floor of the courtyard was still lit, Ye Yu hesitated for a while, and then went straight to the second floor.
With a creak, the door was gently pushed open, and the bright moonlight filtered into the room. Seeing Ye Yu come in, Cao Xueying got up shyly, and her slightly cowardly attitude was very moving.
Ye Yu didn't speak, but immediately sat down at the tea table.
Cao Xueying came to the front, personally poured fragrant tea for Ye Yu, and then said softly: "After you went out, Master Shi came to visit. ”
"Oh? What can be said? Ye Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip of it, and then asked softly.
"I said that I was the son of this list, and I organized a thank-you banquet, and I want to invite you to the banquet......"
"Thank-you banquet?" Ye Yu was stunned when he heard this name, and then he was relieved, this thank-you banquet should be the Luming banquet, which he also participated in when he was in Chuzhou.
"And how did you respond?"
"Xue Ying said to Master Shi, you are the representative of the Heavenly Patrol, this time you are only temporarily acting as the chief examiner, and it is inconvenient for a government affairs in Fuzhou to participate, so this thank-you banquet will be exempted, Xue Ying responds like this, is it reasonable?"
After Cao Xueying said these words, she looked at Ye Yu with a solemn expression, waiting for Ye Yu's answer.
Ye Yu put down the teacup and nodded: "Well, it's reasonable, it's inconvenient for me to participate in this Fuzhou matter." At least on the bright side, it is better to interfere less in the affairs of Fuzhou! ”
In officialdom, many things have to be guarded against, and the importance of being the main examiner is not as simple as it seems.
For those who are keen on forming a party for personal gain, the position of the chief examiner of this imperial examination is a must-win. Because the lifter or jinshi of each list, as long as he is not hand-picked by the emperor, he is the protégé of the chief examiner.
In this way, these protégés are widely spread all over the world and are a symbol of power.
But there are pros and cons to everything, and the imperial examination can recruit many protégés and students, but it will also attract right and wrong and misfortune in the future.
The head of the court committed a crime, causing his protégés and former officials to fall off their horses one after another. Similarly, if these protégés cause trouble in the future, they will also become a stain on the court's impeachment itself.
Therefore, Ye Yu felt that Cao Xueying's refusal was reasonable and very much in line with his heart.
"Chengtian...... Chengtian ......"
Cao Xueying looked at Ye Yu very strangely, stretched out her hand and shook it gently in front of Ye Yu, seeing that Ye Yu came back to her senses, Fang asked, "Chengtian, do you think Xue Ying is good at making claims?" ”
Ye Yu didn't respond, but got up and closed the door, then turned around and asked, "During my absence, everything about entertainment is decided by you, this is the right given to you in advance, how can it be an arbitrary claim?" ”
"Then you're ......"
"Oh, I was just thinking about something, out of ......"
A woman's sensitivity is always beyond men's imagination, and sometimes it is the easiest to make people speechless, Ye Yu is just habitually thinking about things, but it makes Cao Xueying feel very unusual.
She had already heard that Ye Yu was going to Qinxianglou, so she used her petite and cute nose to sniff around Ye Yu, and finally pursed her lips and teased angrily: "I'm thinking about the Oiran of Qinxianglou!" ”
"Want to be an Oiran? What's the matter, I'm an infatuated man who has been in the midst of thousands of flowers, and doesn't leave a leaf! ”
"Still poor, this fragrance has already betrayed you!"
Cao Xueying said this, but she was a little unwilling, and a pair of skillful hands repeatedly ravaged the white handkerchief: "Can't we still satisfy you?" ”
"Satisfied? Of course ......"
Ye Yu stopped in the middle of his words, he suddenly felt that his words were very ambiguous, so he asked rhetorically, "How many meanings?" ”
"What do you mean?" Cao Xueying was asked by Ye Yu, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable.
"Am I satisfied with your numbers, or am I satisfied with that?"
Cao Xueying is a smart woman, as soon as she heard this, she naturally understood, and her face was flushed in an instant, but she didn't shy away from it: "There is a difference between the two?" ”
"Of course there is a difference, the number is already more than enough, but that aspect is ......"
Cao Xueying's face was like a peach blossom, she was shy, she stretched out an index finger and pressed it on Ye Yu's lips, not letting Ye Yu say any more, and said gently: "It's the third watch, let's rest in peace early, and let Chengtian get his wish tonight......"
As he spoke, he took Ye Yu's hand and came to the edge of the soft tent bed.
However, Ye Yu's expression at this time was a little strange, because what he meant was that even if a man knew that he was satisfied, and he was a little incompatible, he would say that he was not satisfied.
It's a matter of face, and it's a state of mind!
However, looking at the delicate beauty in front of him, Ye Yu knew that she would be wrong.
However, this beautiful mistake is also quite interesting, Ye Yu then chanted: "The cliff and cliff spray strange fragrance, the weeping liquid is empty and the passers-by are busy, the good night is short, rest in peace......"
Cao Xueying laughed and said tiredly: "Obscene words and common sayings!" ”
"It's you who want to be crooked!"
Ye Yuxin said that this is a poem by Ma Xianglan, one of the eight Yans of Qin Huai in the Ming Dynasty, how can it be said to be an obscene saying?
