These days, Wang Xiao is gone, Hu Quan was arrested by his father, Kang Cheng is busy in the Nanshi Building, if it weren't for Liu Ruyi's farewell party, Yang Chao would still be a little bored if he wanted to prepare gifts.

In order to prepare a parting gift for Liu Rushi, Yang Chao began to wander around Sanshan Street and many shops along the Qinhuai River.

There are many bookstores on Sanshan Street, not only the stores are large, there are many customers, and the books are even more varied.

Sanshan Street is considered the center of the printing industry in Nanjing, and even in the Ming Kingdom, where books are not only sold but also printed, and there are many large bookstores.

There are two places where Nanjing printing books are very concentrated, one is in Taixue, and the other is in Sanshan Street, Taixue is mainly printing the teaching secrets of the imperial examination, and Sanshan Street is extremely complete, not only textbooks, but also many very market-oriented books, such as bestsellers.

It is appropriate to send Liu Ru is book, but what book is appropriate, Yang Chao did not find it.

Finally, in the Qinhuai River, in a shop on the outermost side of the banknote street, Yang Chao had an idea, this is a shop with a rope string sign, the rope string means all kinds of stringed musical instruments, and the owner of the shop communicated, the owner said that he has a workshop to make musical instruments, Yang Chao drew a drawing for him, and told the master to hurry up, his time is very tight.

Ten days later, Liu Ru was leaving, and Yang Chao had to get the gift before.

Yang Chao was sorry for Liu Ru is Yang Chao, not to mention the karma of breaking up others, and she was sick.

In the next few days, Yang Chao studied at home, but from time to time he went to the Suoxian shop, went to the workshop in the backyard, and communicated with the craftsmen.

Yang Chao bought a lot of books by visiting the bookstore.

All of them are military books, and the military books of the Ming Dynasty can be printed on a large scale, and there seems to be no restrictions.

Unlike the Qing Dynasty, many military books were **.

However, many of the military books are obscure, and the author seems to have no idea that ordinary people can understand them, which is full of mystery.

Fortunately, the bookstore is very intimate, and there are a lot of notes added to it, but those notes Yang Chao looks very bizarre, but it seems to be to please readers, many of the notes are extremely exaggerated, not only can people not easily understand, but even more mysterious.

Probably because the scholar's understanding of the art of war is like this, it must be mysterious, so the bookstore does what it likes.

However, there are also simple and easy-to-understand ones, that is, Qi Jiguang's military book, whether it is good, it is basically in the vernacular, but Yang Chao does not dare to believe all the content in it.

Because Qi Jiguang was handsome in selecting troops, he even had to look at his face, and he must not ask for any unlucky face, otherwise it will bring disaster.

I don't know if it's Qi Dashuai's superstition, or if it's contaminated with the mystery of the traditional literati art of war.

However, the emphasis on military discipline in the military book has aroused Yang Chao's sympathy, although he has never been a soldier, but he has received military training in the university, and the instructor always emphasizes discipline, and discipline is the cornerstone of an army's combat effectiveness.

Ten days passed in a flash, and under Yang Chao's frequent guidance, Suoxiandian made a musical instrument that satisfied Yang Chao.

Yang Chao brought the musical instrument back the day before, and rushed to Meixianglou early the next morning.

This time, the little guy didn't stop Yang Chao, and took Yang Chao all the way up to the second floor.

There are already several prostitutes on it.

When the Bian sisters saw Yang Chao, they didn't turn their faces away, with a cold face.

Li Xiangjun also ignored Yang Chao.

Only Liu Ru beckoned Yang Chao to sit down.

After a while, Gu Mei also came, she saw that Yang Chao was not so awkward, but there was a joking taste on her face, which made Yang Chao feel inexplicable for a while.

Sha Cai and Ma Jiao are here.

There are also some people that Yang Chao doesn't know, and they only know their names when they hear people, one of them is called Kou Mei, who is quite gorgeous and extremely young.

It was only noon, and there were more than a dozen famous prostitutes, some of whom Yang Chao knew, and the famous prostitutes who had performed in Ruan's Hefang that day, and more of them were not known by Yang Chao.

There is no doubt that Liu Ruye's farewell party is larger than the political meeting held by Yang Chao, and most of them are women.

There weren't a few famous people around.

I heard what kind of handkerchief sister this is.

There will be a banquet, there will be no less food, Yang Chao also ate snacks, otherwise he would be really hungry.

First of all, a few women talked in twos and threes, and some people took out new poems for everyone to comment, the atmosphere was very relaxed, but there was nothing to do with Yang Chao, it seemed that intentionally or unintentionally, everyone forgot about Yang Chao.

Embarrassment is a must, occasionally Liu Ru also alleviates it, and interjects a few words with Yang Chao from the circle of women, but unfortunately she is the center today, everyone revolves around her, and it is impossible for her to take care of Yang Chao.

In the afternoon, people began to play the piano and sing songs.

Yang Chao can only appreciate it, and he doesn't have a share in it.

Playing the piano, singing, singing, all kinds of talents, you sing and I appear, and the atmosphere is not serious, the singing is not very formal, and it is interrupted by ridicule from time to time.

If Wang Xiao is here, even if he doesn't let him say a word, he will be happy to stay all day.

Finally, in the evening, the atmosphere suddenly became sad.

Li Xiangjun grieved first: "My sister is leaving." When will we be able to meet in the future? ”

Everyone else did the same: "yes. Sister Liu is jealous, and I look forward to getting closer to Sister Liu. ”

"Why don't Sister Liu stay in Nanjing, with the help of our sisters, let's settle down and start singing in Nanjing, okay?"

Liu Ru smiled, but also a little sad, and sighed: "My sister is used to being idle. The kindness of the sisters was appreciated. Wu Jiang also has a group of sisters, and my sister misses them too. ”

Liu Ru's travels are indeed extensive, especially in Nanjing and Wujiang, which happen to be places where literati and famous fireworks prostitutes gather.

"Sister, but you're going to Bantang?"

Bian Sai asked at this time.

Liu Ru nodded and said, "I should go." ”

Wujiang is another name for Suzhou, Suzhou Bantang is a very prosperous place, and it is also a place where Suzhou flowers and willows gather.

The Bian sisters actually often wander between Bantang and Qinhuai.

Bian Sai thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, our sister will accompany my sister on a trip." My sister will stay at my house when the time comes. ”

The Bian sisters also have a house in Bantang.

Liu Ru smiled: "That's the best." ”

Li Xiangjun snorted: "Are you premeditated?" ”

The Bian sisters hurriedly shouted injustice.

After a long time, someone wanted to say goodbye and give Liu Ruye a gift.

The night is the time when these famous prostitutes are most active, when there are many customers, and each has a livelihood, and today's meeting is not a night meeting, so I have to leave.

Yang Chao was bored thinking about some of his own things.

Suddenly, I heard Li Xiangjun shouting, "Where is your gift?" ”
