Although this time Yang Chao mainly relied on these scribes, but those rich people.

But Qian Qianyi's stingy opening still had some impact on his plan.

In Yang Chao's original plan, Qian Qianyi would give about 1,000 taels, and then those other celebrities and talents basically came out of these, even if they couldn't get 1,000 taels, a few hundred taels would not be ashamed, after all, Qian Qianyi's big name was pressed in front, and no one could surpass him, and the less was to show respect for Qian Qianyi.

When everyone paid a thousand taels of silver, Ruan Dacheng suddenly made a move and took out 10,000 taels, and then the rich businessmen generously donated 10,000 taels each, as if Ruan Dacheng took the lead and they made a move, so that Ruan Dacheng was completely set off.

But now Qian Qianyi is only out of fifty taels, and if other people follow suit, it will be too ugly.

This made Yang Chao a little embarrassed, if Qian Qianyi gave 1,000 taels, the scholars all paid 1,000 taels, Ruan Dacheng gave 10,000 taels, and then the rich businessmen all contributed 10,000 taels.

Of course it is possible now, Qian Qianyi gave fifty taels, and then Ruan Dacheng gave ten thousand, which can also be highlighted, and the contrast is even stronger, but in that case, it is equivalent to slapping Qian Qianyi in the face, Ruan Dacheng's purpose is to improve relations with Donglin, and as a result, he slapped Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, in the face, isn't this looking for death.

So Qian Qianyi's doing this was not only unexpected, but also gave Yang Chao a problem.

However, Yang Chao was silent, and just praised: "Mu Zhai is noble." Now please Shen Gongxian play a play to cheer you up! ”

After speaking, Yang Chao quietly exited, the music behind the curtain sounded, and a person stepped up, playing the role of an old general.

This is Yang Chao's deliberate interruption of donation, not to ask the next person to donate with Qian Qianyi, but to use singing to diverge, next time Yang Chao plans to ask another celebrity Xia Yunyi to take the lead and bring the atmosphere up again.

Zhang Pu was very surprised, Qian Qianyi was the one who threw bricks and jade, but he only donated fifty taels of silver, which is equivalent to throwing a rotten brick, what kind of beautiful jade can this lead to.

This rotten brick not only caught Yang Chao off guard, but also Zhang Pu couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Zhang Pu knew that Ruan Dacheng invited a lot of wealthy businessmen this time, and they were all willing to donate money, but Qian Qianyi gave fifty taels of silver, did those rich businessmen dare to surpass Qian Qianyi, and didn't they slap Qian Qianyi in the face.

Zhang Pu would not have reached out to the merchants, but Zhang Pu couldn't raise enough donations, which made him very sad, especially from where Ruan Dacheng heard that a maid in the old courtyard had no money to redeem herself, so she actually collected 20,000 taels from her sisters.

Thinking of him Zhang Tianru, he traveled for the country wholeheartedly, visited the famous people in the south of the Yangtze River, but only raised 18,000 taels of silver, which was not as good as a maid, which made him feel great humiliation.

So when Ruan Dacheng told him yesterday that he wanted to invite some wealthy businessmen who were willing to pay, although he was a little hesitant, he did not refuse in the end.

Zhang Pu didn't know that he had begun to sell more dignity step by step, his sense of morality was getting weaker and weaker, his conscience was getting farther and farther away, and he was becoming more and more bottomless.

Zhang Pu didn't know that the story that Ruan Dacheng told him was completely apocryphal, deceived him, and stimulated him, and the person who came up with the idea was a child he didn't know at all and didn't bother to know.

That person was Yang Chao.

After Shen Gongxian, Wang Zhonghan, Wang Shuibu, Jiang Zongzhi, Liu Qiqing, Lu Jingqian, and Li Xianhe appeared one by one.

Yang Chao quietly walked out of the guest hall and found Ruan Dacheng in a room next to him.

Ruan Dacheng paced back and forth in the room, very anxious, and when he saw Yang Chao, he strode up, and even grabbed Yang Chao's hand.

Yang Chao was stunned.

Ruan Dacheng said anxiously: "Young Master Yang, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Chao smiled: "The old gentleman can attend!" ”

The two quietly entered the class together, and at this time the stage was still acting, and everyone listened attentively.

This is the Jiangnan drama of the Ming Dynasty, which has some flavor of Kunqu Opera, but it is actually Yiyang dialect, which is more popular than Kunqu Opera in Nanjing. Yiyang cavity is a southern opera developed in the Song and Yuan dynasties, which was born in Yiyang, Jiangxi, so it is called Yiyang cavity.

Yang Chao quietly waited for the opera to finish.

Then he walked up to the stage again.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Fang Cai Mu Zhai Gong has already thrown bricks and jade, and the play is stopped at this time. Mr. Xia can be interested in giving generously! ”

Yang Chao said to Xia Yunyi.

Xia Yunyi is also very famous, in Songjiang Mansion to form a few societies, and later merged into the Fu Society, is also a Jiangnan celebrity, this time he took his son Xia Wanchun on a trip, by chance came to Nanjing, was invited here, he heard that Zhang Pu was here, only came, in fact, he did not know in advance that this was a gathering attended by so many prostitutes.

Xia Yunyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Those who came down were also in a hurry, and like Mu Zhaigong, they donated fifty taels!" ”

Yang Chao nodded and smiled at the person next to him: "Youlong Gong, are you willing to donate generously?" ”

was pointed out by Yang Chao, naturally it was Yang Wencong, the commander of Jiangning County.

To be honest, Yang Wencong was very uncomfortable when he came today, especially when Yang Chao arranged for him to sit in the first seat, in front of those famous and talented people behind him, and sat with Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu, and Xia Yunyi, which made him sit on pins and needles, he knew in his heart that his status could not be compared with these people at all, and it was completely Yang Chao's intention that he could sit here.

He already knew that this time he was helping Zhou Yanru rematch, so he was well prepared, he had a 1,000 taels ticket in his arms, ready to take it out at any time, but Qian Qianyi and Xia Yunyi only gave out 50 taels, which made him a little timid, and he took out 1,000 taels, which was equivalent to setting off Qian Qianyi and Xia Yunyi's stinginess.

"Below, below, it's also fifty taels."

Although he knew that this was a good opportunity to make friends with Zhou Yanru and the Restoration Society, Yang Wencong still only dared to give fifty taels.

Yang Wencong's performance did not surprise Yang Chao's expectations, he expected it when he went to Ruan Dacheng just now.

Qian Qianyi refused to pay, Xia Yunyi didn't pay either, and the people behind probably didn't dare to pay, there were too many, it was a slap in the face of a few old-timers, there were too few of them, and it wasn't interesting.

Even celebrities like Qian Qianyi and Xia Yunyi only gave fifty taels, and there will definitely not be many people who will follow the trend next.

If Ruan Dacheng suddenly stood up and took out 10,000 taels of silver in the donations of thirty or fifty taels, he would definitely be able to shock the audience.

Then the rich businessmen will stand up, you 10,000, I 10,000 have contributed a huge amount of money, as if everyone was actively donating under the drive of Ruan Dacheng, this wave after wave of high dynasty will definitely impress everyone present.

This outstanding change, coupled with the donation of more than 100,000 yuan later, no one would dare to doubt Ruan Dacheng's contribution.

But then Ruan Dacheng will offend Qian Qianyi, the gains outweigh the losses, and spending money has to talk about timing and skills, not spending more is good than spending it, Yang Wencong, Xia Yunyi and other people in the Donglin Restoration Society are unwilling to offend Qian Qianyi, Ruan Dacheng, the remnant of the 'eunuch party' who wants to fight with Donglin into a jade silk, is even more daring.

So after Yang Wencong came out with fifty taels, Yang Chao didn't ask anyone else, but planned to use the performance to make a fork, and when the next round of fundraising, he planned to find someone to lay a brick first, ease the atmosphere, and pave the way to let Ruan Dacheng be in the limelight.

It's not difficult, just find a few piles, this one is one hundred taels, that one is three hundred taels, and the third one thousand taels, at this time Ruan Dacheng went out and shouted 10,000 taels, which is not a direct slap in the face of Qian Qianyi, it can only be regarded as adding fuel to the fire, showing Ruan Dacheng's mentality of being eager to contribute to the Donglin Restoration Society, to put it bluntly, it is to please the Donglin Restoration Society, plus there is no direct reflection of Qian Qianyi's stinginess, so not only will he not make Donglin evil, but he can reap praise, and at the same time he will tie up Donglin and raise funds for Zhang Pu.

Yang Chao raised his hand and pointed to the curtain and said, "Everyone, a beautiful woman from Songjiang Mansion below will play the piano for everyone." Some people may know her, some people don't know her, I believe that after today, there will be no one in Nanjing who doesn't know her. ”

After speaking, the curtain was lifted, and a woman walked out gracefully, it was Liu Rus.

Liu Ru bowed to everyone, and a young man in Tsing Yi behind her, holding Liu Ruyi's piano, helped her place it, and immediately returned behind the curtain.

The little servant returned to behind the curtain, and then immediately ran inside, and shouted in front of a group of people, "Brother Wang, hurry up, get out quickly." ”

The little guy is Kang Cheng, who presides over the appearance in the background, which is his job.

Wang Xiao was very happy to talk with a group of famous singers in Jiangnan at this time.

"The younger brother only knew the Kun dialect before, and I don't think this Yiyang dialect is also wonderful. Ask for advice in the future, ask for advice again! ”

In a short period of time, Wang Xiao has already mingled with these famous characters in Liyuan, and I have to say that his ability to make friends is very good.

But when there was something to do, this kid was also reliable, and immediately said goodbye to these new friends, walked out of the house, and went back to the guest hall.
