Chapter Forty-Eight: Fighting to Win
"The person in that room is Liu Fang, and it seems that the person who has a conflict with him is Jiao Fang." Ye watched the two of them arguing, and probably heard the identities of the two clearly, so he paid special attention to the words and actions of the two of them at the moment.
"Qinglin, those two are the targets we need to keep an eye on. I thought that the last family brawl was just a few slaves relying on the snobbery of their masters, but since listening to the investigation of this secret agent, there seems to be some other situation in it. Ye Guan turned his head and whispered to Zhu Qinglin, who was bored.
"What's the other situation? Also, you are not allowed to call me Qinglin, call me Miss, are we familiar with this kind of thing? Zhu Qinglin heard Ye Guan say this, and at the same time was curious and felt a little uncomfortable with Ye Guan calling her like this.
"Isn't the name just a title, don't pay too much attention to it. You see, I called Miss Li'er directly, and Miss Li'er didn't get angry. Ye Guan felt that he and Zhu Qinglin were not acquaintances, so he thought that it should be right for him to call her Qinglin.
"Who is she, can she compare to me?" Zhu Qinglin is also the eldest lady, and she said this sentence casually, but as soon as she said this, she felt that she seemed to be a little inadequate, her original intention was that Li'er was a person who showed her face, so it was normal for others to call her name or she told others her name, she was a daughter who had not left the cabinet, and it was naturally a little inappropriate to be called like this by a man, but such words sounded in the ears of others, and it seemed that Zhu Qinglin looked down on Li'er's identity.
Sure enough, when Ye Guan heard this, his face, which was still smiling slightly, suddenly became gloomy.
"Originally, the last time the family fought and harmed the safety of the people and the family wealth, I watched Miss Zhu take a righteous action and scolded me for being selfish, thinking that Miss Zhu is also a heroine among women, and she doesn't pay attention to fame and fortune, so I guess Miss Zhu should not despise these dusty women, so I saved the idea of bringing Miss Zhu here, I didn't expect that Miss Zhu is also a person who is a good dragon, are the people on the road the people, and the sisters in this ** building are not the people? If it weren't for a good family or a good father, a few people would leave their identities to do this leather business. Since Miss Zhu cares so much about her identity, it is better to call her the eldest lady in the future, lest the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion look down on me as a small affair with the status of a mere talent, I am thin-skinned, but I can't stand the reprimand of the nobles. Ye Guan was originally a later generation, and his views on equality and freedom were of course a little different from those of the Ming Dynasty, if in normal times, Ye Guan would only put such an idea of equality in his heart, but today he saw the sad expression of Pian Er and heard Zhu Qinglin's words, and suddenly his temper came out, and he looked at Zhu Qinglin in front of him with a sarcastic expression.
As soon as Zhu Qinglin heard Ye Guan's words, the eldest lady's temper immediately came up, she grew up in the palm of her hand in the Guogong Mansion since she was a child, where had she ever heard such a prickly statement, although she knew that she was wrong, but she still couldn't help but immediately lose her temper. But when she heard that Ye Guan would only call her Miss Zhu in the future, her heart suddenly trembled, as if she had lost something. Looking at Ye Guan's cold eyes, Zhu Qinglin's stomach was full of anger as if someone had poured a basin of cold water, and he suddenly sat on the chair without saying a word.
After Ye Guan said it, he also felt that what he said was a little excessive, but he was embarrassed to speak first, so the two parties were a little embarrassed.
At this time, everyone who had not shown up for a long time finally came out.
With the appearance of the Liu Se dance, those gentlemen who have the style of Yanagi Megumi also began to whisper, although they did not judge this Oiran in front of everyone, but looking at their eyes, who knows what the old people who can be grandfathers here are thinking.
"The guests have been waiting for a long time, and Se Wu is terrified, so I will first say a blessing to the distinguished guests." Although Liu Sewu wears a gauze scarf and a mask, just listening to the voice and looking at the figure, it seems that she can detect that this woman with a light veil and a masked face must be stunning, so not only the guests who are in the same hall with Ye Guan showed a lot of interest, but even the guests in the single room seem to be unable to help the ** in their hearts, someone opened the door curtain, as if they wanted to see which beauty more clearly.
"This girl, take off the veil and let's take a look, otherwise how will you know how much you're worth?" An obese middle-aged man in bloated clothes, wearing a ** hat and coarse cloth clothes, with obscene + filthy eyes, said the words that the so-called literati thought but could not say in the eyes of the audience in the hall.
Seeing this man covered with coarse cloth clothes, silk deep clothes inside, and wearing a ** hat say such words, before Liu Sewu could speak, a young man who thought he was here to enjoy the beautiful scenery or want to win the favor of beautiful women preemptively said: "Where did you come from the rich man in the countryside, who knows no etiquette, knows no shame, and is full of lewdness, sitting with such a person insults the identity of us literati out of thin air, drive him out." Don't think that with a few small dollars, you can be presumptuous at the feet of the Son of Heaven, go back and appreciate the firewood girl of the Ru family. ”
The young man's eyes were very sharp, and when he saw the identity of the fat man, he knew that he was just a businessman, because in the 14th year of Hongwu, it was stipulated that the upper intention was to emphasize the original and suppress the last, and ordered the peasant family to wear silk cloth, and the merchant family was only allowed to wear cloth. In the peasant house, if there is a merchant who is a merchant, he is not allowed to wear veil. Therefore, no matter how rich a merchant was, he was not allowed to wear silk and gauze. But that was all in the Hongwu period, the economy of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly developed for more than a hundred years, so the social class in the order of Shinong, industry and commerce has undergone a slight but irreversible change, although the merchant is the lowest class on the surface, in fact, many big businessmen are inextricably linked with the important ministers of the imperial court, and it seems to be ranked behind the scholar. In the Hongzhi period, although the law stipulates that merchants are still not allowed to wear gauze and silk on the street, but those merchants can wear them at home or cover the silk with a cloth coat, and the government also turns a blind eye, and no one takes such a ban seriously, so those people know that he must be a businessman as soon as they see this vulgar fat man, so this young man can finally find a beauty and the appreciation of these rare officials, it seems that the opportunity is still reserved for a prepared person.
Hearing this young man say this, many of those who thought that their identities were different from ordinary people smiled slightly, and seemed to agree with this young man's words.
"Hey, boy, where did you come from, dare to say that about your grandfather. I haven't seen the world and still want to be a hero to save the beauty, it's stupid. The fat man was not afraid at all, but tilted his head slightly, squinting at the impassioned young man, as if he did not care about it.
"It's nothing more than an opportunistic businessman who buys low and sells high, corrupts the character of the people, and does that deception. Seeing the merchant humiliate himself like this, the young man dressed in the style of a straight scholar felt that this was a good opportunity to get closer to those big people, so he used all his strength to use all his blood to exert all his blood.
"Hehe, as the saying goes, the seventh rank official in front of the prime minister's door, you are just a small scholar, and I am not the prime minister's small door. Ye Zhang Fugui I am the cousin of the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion of Shouning, and I am responsible for the procurement of the Hou Mansion, boy, how many officials do you say the master should be regarded as? The obese middle-aged man burst out laughing. No wonder the man was so vulgar but still not stage frightened at all, it turned out to be Zhang Heling's person. Zhang Heling was originally a person who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and of course the subordinates in his family were also virtuous with him.
Hearing that the obese man reported his net worth, not only the nobles who originally had an appreciation for the young man also suddenly changed color, and one by one they returned to the scene of gentlemen's friendship as light as water, and even the young man who was ready to show off, win over popularity before the scientific expedition, and walk the path of grace and shade immediately became pale, cowardly and afraid to speak.
"Okay, get out of here and sit down, I don't have time to see you like you. That little girl, take off your veil and take a look, if you look beautiful, you will have enough money to sell your body, there is not much else in our Hou Mansion, but there is a lot of money. "The fat man saw his majesty on display, and he was not interested in punishing those little ones, and the young man still went to Beijing to take the exam, if something big happened to him and caused Shilin to shake, it would be a big sin, and Shou Ninghou couldn't protect him, so he didn't want to rectify the young man.
"It's just the housekeeper of the Shouning Marquis Mansion, do you really think you are a character?" Liu Yan saw that his limelight was robbed, he was quite dissatisfied, and when he saw the appearance of the fat man, he immediately made sarcastic remarks.
"Who are you? Do you dare to report the way? The fat man was not stupid, he still didn't care after seeing the young man in the private room after he reported his identity, and he couldn't figure out the identity of the person who came, so he could only put on a posture first.
"You are just a descendant of the Shouning Marquis Mansion, and you are the younger brother of the godson of the prince of the Dongchang Admiral." Liu Yan did not feel ashamed of his identity at all, and proudly reported his identity.
"East Factory!" Hearing the young man say this, many officials in civilian clothes couldn't help but feel that they had moved their tables slightly, and they didn't know that they had too much conversation with Liu Wei. Just now he quarreled with Jiao Fang, many people still don't know the identity of this middle-aged man, and now they know that this person actually has a connection with Dongchang, and immediately unconsciously scared and disdainful, literati hate factory health institutions the most, in their mouths, factory guards are the representatives of heinous crimes, and they are the embodiment of justice.
"Don't quarrel with the masters, today is a good day for our **Lou Liu, don't hurt your anger for some trivial things." This old bustard can't stand it, he keeps reporting his identity like this, and he can't do his own business, today it's Oiran Li who comes to sell the first + night, not these people to show their identity.
"What kind of thing are you, dare to meddle with our affairs, I respect your mother, that is to look up to you, a bitch who rides thousands of people across thousands of people, and dares to act majestic in front of me." The fat man was not easy to get along with, so he immediately pointed at the old bustard's nose and scolded.
"This master, could it be that you rely on your status as a servant of Shouning Hou to really treat as if no one dares to take care of it?" When the old bustard saw that the fat man was talking so ugly, he immediately collapsed the smiling face that had been posing, and looked at the fat man with a cold face and a sneer.
