When I got home, my mother looked worried when she saw Yang Chao.

Tell Yang Chao that people keep sending money today, all of them are one hundred taels, and some even say that they don't know Yang Chao.

When I asked, I found out that they were all servants of famous prostitutes.

The mother also asked Yang Chao worriedly if she had done something to the girl.

Yang Chao only felt bad at this time, he not only offended the Bian sisters, but offended all the first-rate prostitutes in Qinhuaihe!

Everyone returned the silver, not to mention, and directly ordered it and let go of the words of breaking off the relationship.

I was expelled by the celebrity circle, but I didn't expect that I just took the opportunity to get in, and I was kicked out in a blink of an eye.

Is this the price of speculation.

If Zhou Yanru was the first assistant, it would be fine, but if he failed, he would have suffered a big loss this time.

Yang Chao can imagine that after the expansion of the propaganda of these courtesans, his reputation may be stinky, at least among those who read.

Kang Cheng came to Yang Chao in the evening.

From Kang Cheng, Yang Chao knew that yesterday's meeting spread throughout Nanjing City overnight.

But all the famous prostitutes who participated were very secretive, and no one said what they did at the meeting.

On the contrary, it makes people ask more frantically what they are doing, all the famous prostitutes who participated were originally romantic figures, but now they are even more famous.

Ten famous prostitutes were rumored to be first-class prostitutes for a while, and those who did not participate could only be second-class.

This situation made several famous prostitutes who had been invited by Yang Chao but refused to participate regret it.

This situation may not be intentional on the part of those famous prostitutes, telling others that they are meeting with Zhang Pu, Qian Qianyi and other celebrities, which is a kind of promotion of their status.

However, due to Yang Chao's request and the important reasons for this matter, no one dared to completely expose that this was a rally in support of Zhou Yanru's reappearance, which could be regarded as keeping Zhou Yanru secret for the time being.

It was those scholars who attended the meeting, although they made a big fuss at the meeting, no one said it for the time being.

Although there was a big fuss, these scholars were very conflicted afterwards, and they were very angry about participating in this Ruan Dacheng meeting, and they felt very excited to participate in such a grand event as supporting Shoufu to come to power.

They were ashamed of assembling with Ruan Dacheng, but they were proud of supporting Zhou Yanru, when these two situations came together, it was the reason why they broke out at the rally, not only stimulated by Qian Qianyi, Qian Qianyi just lit a fire, the real reason was the ambivalence of these scholars.

Because of such ambivalence, no one among the scholars said the content of the rally, not because this was the reason for preparing a donation for Zhou Yanru again, and they did not have the consciousness to keep political secrets, but because they made a fuss at the rally, if Zhou Yanru knew, would they be considered disrespectful to him.

These scholars are all scholars with the background of the Donglin Restoration Society, and Zhou Yanru is the banner of the Restoration Society, and he is extremely famous in the two groups of the Donglin Restoration Society.

So for the time being, no one wants to say it, after all, if you say it, you can't say what your reputation is good or bad.

Others are silent when they ask, and they simply let others guess, and it is also beneficial and harmless for them to be informed that they have participated in a big gathering, but no one knows the content.

However, this news is obviously impossible to keep secret, so many people, and conflicts have broken out, many of which are malicious, especially Qian Qianyi has publicly turned his face.

I believe that this incident must have spread to the officialdom in Beijing, and whether Zhou Yanru can enter the cabinet as scheduled depends on Zhang Pu's ability and Zhou Yanru's own strength.

Kang Cheng also brought the news that Yang Chao's reputation was notorious.

Kang Cheng told Yang Chao that those first-class famous prostitutes were all disgusted with Yang Chao, and Yang Chao was helping Ruan Dacheng do things, but he didn't tell them, thinking that Yang Chao had deceived them.

But that's not the real reason.

They are not afraid of being taken advantage of at all, and every year they are invited to participate in countless gatherings, large and small, not all of them want to use their fame, they also use it to promote their fame, and participating in the event is a matter of mutual benefit for them.

The real reason is that when Liu Ru was on stage, Qian Qianyi suddenly broke out, Liu Ru thought that she had annoyed Qian Qianyi, and after going back, Liu Ru suddenly fell seriously ill and was already lying down in Meixianglou.

Qian Qianyi didn't go to visit either, and the relationship between the two was over.

Therefore, Liu Ru is one of those sisters, so she chose to break off her friendship with Yang Chao.

Therefore, it is not entirely because Yang Chao helped Ruan Dacheng to do things, in the final analysis, Yang Chao is not a real deception, he just concealed it, did not tell them who to help him, only said that it was to raise funds for the Restoration Society.

The key is because Yang Chao made Liu Ru sick.

But Yang Chao's reputation among the scholars was very consistent, and he was despised by all the scholars.

They despise Yang Chao because they despise Ruan Dacheng and Ruan Dacheng, because Ruan Dacheng is a eunuch, so Yang Chao helps Ruan Dacheng to do things for the eunuch party, and now there is a nickname for the little eunuch party added to Yang Chao.

At the same time, Kang Cheng also said that the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society were completely split, and some scholars who belonged to Donglin said that they would no longer have contact with the Restoration Society, and some young scholars who had recovered from the Restoration Society also announced their separation from the Restoration Society because of Zhang Pu and Ruan Dacheng's collusion.

Qian Qianyi took the opportunity to invite many young scholars and absorbed them into the Donglin Party.

Yang Chao didn't expect that the Donglin Party and the Fushe have had a close relationship in recent years, and many people don't distinguish between Donglin and Fushe at all, and many people claim to be both Donglin and Fushe members, but I didn't expect that now these two groups have drawn a clear line.

The split of the Donglin Restoration Society, such a major event, I am afraid that it will make Yang Chao's gathering sensational for a while, and even the longer the time, the more intense the brewing, this grand meeting is destined to spread among the scholars for a long, long time.

And Yang Chao's name will also be mentioned again and again with the spread of this event, but I am afraid that there will be more scolding.

The split between Donglin and Fushe, the two big groups in the south of the Yangtze River, stemmed from this grand event created by himself, Yang Chao had a sense of accomplishment, but he still didn't care much about it overall, after all, these political groups were still far away from him and didn't seem to have anything to do with it.

But because of herself, Liu Ru and Qian Qianyi seem to have a contradiction, this is an enviable pair of talented and beautiful women.

Especially Liu Ru fell ill, which made Yang Chao a little worried.

entrusted Kang Cheng to visit first, and Yang Chao also visited the next day, but the little guy in Meixianglou said that he would not let Yang Chao go up.

Yang Chao couldn't help but feel stunned.

After returning home, he rested for another day, and the next day he hired a carriage and changed into his official uniform.

"Yikes! Brother, what are you? ”

Seeing Yang Chao wearing an official uniform, Yang Yue was in a daze at first sight, and her second reaction was surprised.

Yang Chao smiled lightly and said lightly: "Brother is an official!" ”

Finally, the family is still proud of themselves, which makes Yang Chao's heart a little warm, yesterday because of Liu Ruyi's matter, he was not in the mood to show off his official uniform.

When the mother heard the noise, she also looked over, and when she saw her son's official uniform, she immediately put down her work and hurriedly ran over.

"Son, what's going on?"

The mother was completely shocked.

What her son has done these days has made her mother completely incomprehensible, and she no longer wants her son to soar, just to be safe.

"Mother, my son is an official, the head of the Xinjiang Estuary Water Battalion!"

Yang Chao said, took out the waist card and big seal he carried, and gradually became a little proud in his tone, less depressed about being expelled from the celebrity circle. If it is said that for the sake of his family, he must pay the price of being disgusted by those famous prostitutes and scribes, Yang Chao definitely does not regret it.

"I'm an official!"

The mother muttered, holding the official seal and looking at it several times, gently touching Yang Chao's official uniform with her hand, especially rubbing it lightly on the toner on it.

The younger sister took Yang Chao's waist card and watched it for a long time, and she also wanted to touch the official uniform, but her mother hit her hand hard.

"Isn't it just a cat, and it's not going to be touched yet."

My sister was dissatisfied.

The mother snorted: "What a cat, this is Biao, a complement only available to the seven-rank military attaché!" ”

Mother knows the official uniform, Yang Chao is not surprised at all.

Mother had already said to herself: "In our Xiaolingwei, this is the official mansion of the hundred households, but the official uniforms of the hundred households are not so beautiful and new." ”

The guards are corrupt, even hundreds of households, and they are often very poor, and the official uniforms have not been issued for many years, and if you want to wear new ones, you have to buy them yourself, and many people's official houses have really patched.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "My son is going to take office today." Mother, you and your sister buy some good ones, and have a few drinks with your father tonight. ”

The carriage was at the door, Yang Chao said goodbye to his mother and sister, and went out to wait for the car to leave.

The mother and sister ran all the way to the street, watched the carriage slowly disappear into the streets and alleys of Nanjing, and felt a dream, the son (brother) became an official, how did this not seem to be true.

The carriage went all the way, out of the west gate of the water, along the Qinhuai River to the north, the mouth of the Qinhuai River, is the camp of the water army, called the new Jiangkou camp.

This camp existed at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and in the era when Zheng He went to the West, it was the most prosperous here, with 40,000 or 50,000 sailors and more than 400 large ships, and most of them were ocean-going treasure ships.

It can be said that when Zheng He went to the West seven times, he may have set off from this military camp.

The camp was still as large as ever, but it was in ruins.

A barracks was next to a barracks, and the walls of the barracks were made of tall logs, and the outside was covered with mud.

But the soil is peeling and the logs are rotting.

The barracks inside are all made of bricks, but the barracks also look very old.

This military camp is continuous, occupying a large tidal flat at the mouth of the river, and there are 18 camp gates in the south, south, and northwest respectively.

But what is puzzling is that there are not many soldiers in sight.

Today, Wang Xiao has already explained to Yang Chao, telling Yang Chao that he has taken care of everything, and asked Yang Chao to go directly to the barracks to report, Shangguan He has already taken care of it, and there is no need for Yang Chao to go in person, but he has explained, in the future, during the New Year's holidays, Yang Chao should give gifts and pay a visit.

As an official, you must not forget the etiquette, the officialdom is complicated, and if you are not careful, you will offend people, and you don't know how to die when the time comes.

Yang Chao inquired and found his barracks.

Soon he found a camp gate facing west, which was his own general barracks, like other barracks, with logs as camp walls, and river mud on the outside, the same mud skin peeled off, and the logs rotted, as if they would fall down if they were pushed.

What Yang Chao didn't expect was that he had a tall barracks.

After entering the gate, there is a large courtyard in the middle of the two large platoon barracks.

Yang Chao was attracted by the big yard at a glance, this big yard used to be a playground, but now, it is full of vegetables!

The large playground has a vast area, sandwiched between two rows of camp rooms, stretching for hundreds of feet, which is full of forty or fifty acres, and it is used to grow vegetables, this is a naval camp, not farmland!

Yang Chao was surprised inexplicably, sent the coachman, and walked into the camp alone.

The barracks were empty, and after walking through several barracks in a row, they were all empty, not to mention the people inside, not even a single mouse.

Moreover, the roofs of most barracks are full of large and small holes, and when you see the rubble piled up on the ground, you know that the barracks have been in disrepair for a long time, and the roof has not collapsed.

Finally, someone saw Yang Chao, who was a few soldiers working in the vegetable field, wearing coarse linen clothes like old farmers, and when they saw Yang Chao wearing an official uniform, they ran over in a panic and kowtowed when they knelt down.

"Your Excellency is the new boss!"

It seems that they have received the news that a new boss will be in charge in the near future.
