Chapter 163: Alone in a Foreign Land as a Stranger
It's not that Xie Shen is hypocritical, it's that he really can't accept Ning Yuanwai's "enthusiasm". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info God knows what this Miss Ning family looks like, if it's a money-losing product who can't wait to make a move, then who will Xie Shen talk to?
It is true that Ning Yuan's foreign family has a lot of money, but after all, he is a businessman. There is a natural gap between scholars and businessmen, and if Xie Shen wants to mix in the officialdom, marrying the daughter of a businessman is indeed not a very good choice.
This circle is like that, with a strong sense of exclusivity. Regardless of the side, just his background is enough for Xie Shen to drink a pot.
If you marry the daughter of a businessman, tsk, it's really exciting to think about it......
Xie Shen didn't want his officialdom to become a hellish mode, so he didn't understand Ning Yuanwai's hints.
Thinking about it, it was still Lord Xu Guan, who ran directly from Songjiang Mansion to Yuyao to summon his son-in-law, without the slightest cover-up.
If there is this squire of the Ministry of Industry of the Dynasty as Lao Taishan, it seems that the career will be smoother, right?
However, he said that Xie Shen said goodbye to Ning Yuanwai and returned to the inn where he stayed alone.
At this time, the scholars of Yuyao were gathering in the room of Zhang Bugui to discuss how to spend the Oiran in a few days.
Seeing Xie Shen coming back, Zhang Gongzi took the lead and said: "Brother Shen Xian came just in time, let's go to Peony Medicine House to eat wine and ask for merit!" ”
Xie Shen sighed and said, "What is there to celebrate? ”
Zhang Bugui said with a blank face: "There are too many things to celebrate." On the Yaji, the Shen Xian brother overwhelmed the crowd and made a name for my Yuyao Shizi, which is the first to congratulate. Brother Shen Xian's poem made Yuyao Xianming famous, which is the second congratulatory also. The two are combined into one, how can you not celebrate. ”
Xie Shen was quite helpless in his heart, and said lightly: "Then you can ask the store to help buy some wine and food, you don't have to go to the Qinglou, right?" ”
"Twilight!"
Zhang Bugui glanced at Xie Shen and said angrily.
In his eyes, Xie Shen is good everywhere, but he is too forward-looking. Obviously at the age of thirteen, he has to think about everything before and after, and arrange it without leakage, where is there any fun at all.
"In a few days, it will be the Oiran Club, and then the scholars of the city will go to see the beauties competing for beauty, Brother Shenxian, you promised, why, you can't go to see it in advance today?"
"One time, another time......"
Xie Shen was still making the last struggle, but Zhang Bugui Zhang obviously didn't intend to give him this opportunity, and said to himself: "I know what you're worried about, Brother Shen Xian. This dynasty prohibits officials from prostituting, but you are not an official yet. Which of my Daming laws stipulates that scholars can't go to the Qinglou? Besides, if you really become an official, you don't have to lock yourself in this box. Not to mention in Hangzhou, even in Beijing, those people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't go to check every Qinglou, right? As long as the trouble is not too much, the inspector's officials will mostly turn a blind eye. ”
Zhang Bugui Zhang Dagongzi had the attitude that Lao Tzu was a person who had come over, and taught Xie Shen earnestly, so that he had no choice but to agree.
Anyway, if you don't go to listen to music and drink, you should go to the restaurant.
The world is like this, and it is not what I want.
Xie Shen comforted himself like this, and went straight to the Peony Medicine House surrounded by a group of Yuyao scholars.
The word "merry" is often associated with celebrities. But in the Ming Dynasty, these two words may not be easy to use.
First of all, celebrities are not necessarily ministers, and celebrities may not be famous for life.
Even if he really entered the official career, he was attacked by political enemies who took his private life and did not let go of it, and the white became black.
Xie Shen is not like a child of a family, the imperial examination is the only ladder for him to rise, so he will not let himself fall into the whirlpool of public opinion. This kind of limelight is followed by turmoil, but it is better not to come out!
So he really didn't plan to make any romantic stories in the Peony Residence.
A group of scholars surrounded Xie Shen and entered the peony medicine house, and his own old bustard twisted the waist of the water snake and stepped forward.
This old bustard is about to be in his early thirties, which is the age when the charm still exists.
She chuckled and said, "It's really time for a few sons to come here today, and it will be the Oiran Club in a few days, and there are no customers in the store now." ”
The implication of her words is that now the girls are free, as long as the money is enough, it is easy to say what they want.
Zhang Bugui is naturally a veteran in the Fengyue Field, and he chuckled and said, "We just want to meet Mrs. Shen." ”
Hearing this, the old bustard sighed and said, "That's unfortunate, Mrs. Shen is going to participate in the Oiran Club in a few days, and she can't easily meet people now." ”
Zhang Bugui sneered in his heart, what kind of oiran is not easy to see people, but it is just a vulture.
As long as the money is out, does the bustard still have a reason to push the guests outside?
Zhang Bugui took out some broken silver from the money bag and stuffed it into the old bustard's hand, and said with a smile on his face: "This is the fixed money, and I also ask Shen Niangzi to come out and talk about it." These friends of mine are all famous talents in Yuyao, and they are a good match for Shen Niangzi. If it's a chat, there will be no shortage of rewards. ”
When the old bustard heard the word reward, his eyes lit up, and he immediately changed his attitude, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, Shen Niangzi hasn't slept yet, so the slave family will call her, please wait a while." ”
Xie Shenxin said in his heart, this Zhang Dagongzi is really a master of sleeping flowers and willows, which Wang Shouwen can't compare.
There is a specialization in the art industry, who said that Zhang Gongzi has achieved nothing?
The old bustard went upstairs for a short time, then turned around and came back, and said with a smile: "Shen Niangzi, please ask a few people to go up." However, Shen Niangzi said that there are four people at most. ”
Zhang Bugui nodded and said, "It should be like this." ”
After some discussion, Zhang Bugui, Xie Shen, Wang Shouwen, and Xie Pi went upstairs. The rest of the scholars found other girls and chatted about love.
Without mentioning the gossip, the old bustard took the four of them to Shen Niangzi's boudoir and said in a harmonious voice: "If you have any needs, please call the slave family." ”
After thanking the bustard, Zhang Bugui took the lead in pushing open the boudoir door, and the other three also followed.
This boudoir is not big, but it is extremely delicately arranged, and there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings on the walls, which shows that this Shen Niangzi is a talented girl.
Shen Niangzi is a goose, a famous courtesan in Hangzhou, and the top brand of Peony Yaoju.
There are countless sons of families who come here on weekdays, but there are only a few who can really see Shen Niangzi.
Today, Zhang Bugui was able to enter Shen Niangzi's boudoir smoothly, not because he gave him a lot of money, but because Shen Niangzi heard that they came from Yuyao.
There are too many families who have been given money, but they also have to be looked at by Shen Niangzi. Although the bustard wants to make money, he doesn't want to have a stiff relationship with Shen Niangzi. After all, this is a cash cow, and you can't offend it unless you have to.
It turned out that this Shen Niangzi's original home was Yuyao, but she came to Hangzhou Mansion to sell herself as a prostitute.
Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, meeting fellow villagers should be a little nostalgic for their hometown.
