On the second day, Hu Quan came to Yang's house early in good spirits.

Yang Chao gave him ten worship posts, all of which were posts for famous prostitutes in major Qinglou.

Yang Chao taught the opportunity to face to face, for these famous prostitutes, the first to use the name of Li Xiangjun and Liu Ruyi, if it doesn't work, after moving out the names of Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu, if it doesn't work, please use the name of Zhou Yanru.

Although he had already borrowed the names of Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and Zhou Yanru from Yang Chaohu for the first time, Hu Quan was still a little apprehensive about using them for the second time, and he muttered in front of Yang Chao, saying that he would rather not use the names of these adults.

Yang Chao is not very relieved, Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun are both famous prostitutes, but these famous prostitutes in Nanjing City are arrogant, they are rare and beautiful with each other, and they are fighting openly and secretly, one is not convinced, with the names of Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun, people may not recognize it.

But all famous prostitutes probably won't disown Qian Qianyi's name, I have to say that although Qian Qianyi is frustrated in officialdom, his reputation in the Jiangnan area at this time is not only big, but also very positive.

He was really ruined after he surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially when Emperor Qianlong ridiculed and ridiculed his character and poems, so Qian Qianyi completely stinked.

Zhang Pu is also a righteous gentleman in the eyes of a famous prostitute, and Zhang Pu is not as rich as Qian Qianyi, so he can go to various fireworks venues to have fun. Zhang Pu is very famous, but he is very poor, and he rarely goes to these famous prostitutes.

This time he came forward, there will definitely be many famous prostitutes who will buy it and want to touch his reputation as a great scribe.

As for Zhou Yanru, who is even more famous and has been the first assistant, that famous prostitute dares not to buy it.

Yang Chao didn't tell Hu Quan about helping Zhou Yanru rematch, when he used it to deter Jiangning County Order yesterday, Yang Chao whispered in a low voice.

Now Yang Chao does not plan to make this matter public, until Zhou Yanru successfully becomes the first assistant, it will not have an impact.

After all, if it is rumored that a Shoufu is to raise donations and use it to open the door to become a minister, it will reach the ears of Emperor Chongzhen, and with this emperor's temperament, he will probably be suspicious again, and Zhou Yanru will not only have to be in the soup, but may also implicate many people.

Yang Chao didn't dare to take risks, so the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

But if the names of these celebrities alone can't cover it, the famous prostitute doesn't invite it.

Let Hu Quan go to the banquet alone, and Yang Chao himself will go to the banquet.

Xu Zhongxiao feasted the guests and opened his pawnshop, and his new pawnshop was naturally the blacksmith shop of the Yang family in the past.

He actually specially invited the Yang family to a banquet, if he said that he was sincere, the ghost would believe it.

Yang Chao didn't worry about his father's going, and if he didn't go, he was afraid that Xu Zhongxiao would take advantage of the past to make trouble.

So Yang Chao plans to go in person.

Yang Chao was naturally familiar with the location of his own blacksmith, and soon walked to the blacksmith shop, but at this time the blacksmith shop had taken on a new look, and the gate was replaced with a new one, a vermilion lacquer door, and a long cloth banner was hung outside, with a big word 'dang' written on it.

Only the scope of business is indicated by the banner, there is no special signboard, and the door is empty.

At this time, many banquets had been set up along the street, and many people gathered at the door were all here to congratulate them.

However, most of them are nearby businesses, so they can only be outside the door, and the banquet placed inside the gate is for those characters with heads and faces.

Yang Chao also walked to the middle.

I saw a butler-like figure at the gate talking.

"Welcome all friends and neighbors to come, the opening of the new shop, everyone eats and drinks well today."

The butler waved his hand as he spoke, but he didn't care much about the guests at all, and was about to go inside.

At this time, Xu Zhongxiao suddenly walked out, and the housekeeper bowed and looked flattering.

Xu Zhongxiao looked arrogant, and casually bowed his hand to the guests, and the guests nodded in return.

Yang Chao didn't move, but he actually attracted Xu Zhongxiao's attention and looked over.

The housekeeper is generally the dog next to the owner, and after Xu Zhongxiao looked at it, he also glared at him.

"Who am I? It turned out to be Yang Gongzi! ”

The housekeeper said in a weird way.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Congratulations to Xu Baihu on the opening of the pawnshop, and I wish the hundred households a prosperous and prosperous business." ”

The butler snorted, "You know each other." Okay, find a place to sit and have a good meal, this good thing doesn't happen every day. ”

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The hundred households haven't read the gift list of Xiaomin yet." ”

Saying that, Yang Chao sent the gift list to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper took it casually and opened it with disdain, he didn't expect Yang Chao to come to give gifts.

As soon as he opened it, he was immediately stunned: "Ten taels of silver!" ”

Ten taels of silver is a lot of money, and the surrounding guests also stopped talking and couldn't help but look at Yang Chao.

For them, the usual gift-giving is just a few big sons, and when they meet hundreds of households, it is only a penny of silver.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chao actually sent ten taels. When did the Yang family get rich.

Xu Zhongxiao couldn't help but be moved: "It seems that your family is really rich." So pay it back early. ”

Yang Chao smiled: "Hundred households can rest assured. Isn't it the end of the year, and at the end of the year, the villain will pay back with interest! ”

Yesterday, Yang Chao knew that Xu Zhongxiao knew that the Yang family was rich, and it was absolutely impossible for his father to deceive someone like Xu Zhongxiao, so it was better to admit it honestly, and give a heavy gift today, but I hope it can be delayed until the end of the year.

In Yang Chao's plan, it may not be necessary to delay until the end of the year, and this rampant and domineering hundred households will be cleaned up early. That's why he was able to win over a county order, a civil official who was a sixth-grade magistrate, and a seventh-grade Jinyi Wei hundred, if there was no accident, it would not be difficult.

Xu Zhongxiao snorted coldly: "You are so self-conscious, this official opened a pawnshop today, and I don't have the same knowledge as you, so you can take a seat." ”

Yang Chao smiled and nodded, then found a seat to sit, ate a few bites casually, and when some guests left, Yang Chao also followed, not conspicuous at all.

Hu Quan did not return to Yang's house until evening.

told Yang Chao that all the invitations had been sent, a total of ten, but two of them did not agree.

One is to refuse directly, no matter who gives face, and the other is that he didn't see Hu Quan at all, gave Gui Gong a reward, and asked him to send an invitation, but the invitation in the name of Li Xiangjun was not recognized, and he didn't even see it, it seemed as if he had a grudge against Li Xiangjun.

In this regard, Yang Chao doesn't care, anyway, what he can invite Hu Quan is just a second-rate character, a real first-class famous prostitute, Yang Chao still has to go there himself, because this first-class must be invited.

Another night, the second day, it was still Yang Chao and Hu Quan.

This time, I walked east from Sanfang Lane to the south of the iron workshop, and walked only six or seven hundred steps to Gulou Street.

Gu Lou Street is rumored to be because Gu Kaizhi once lived here, and there is a building in Gu's house, so it is named Gu Lou Street.

At this time, there is an eyebrow tower on Gulou Street, which is also a green building, and it is a famous building that everyone in Nanjing knows.

When it comes to famous prostitutes in Nanjing, the most famous, Li and Bian are the leaders, followed by Sha and Gu.

Among them, Li is talking about Li Xiangjun, and Gu is a famous prostitute in Meilou, named Gu Mei.

Therefore, Gu Mei can be called one of the four famous prostitutes in Jinling, and she happens to be the closest to the Yang family, and today Yang Chao came to invite her.

In front of the Meilou, it is still the old way, stuffing silver to send invitations to the turtle duke, still in the name of Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun.

Nanjing people only know one Li Xiangjun, but these famous prostitutes definitely know Liu Ruyi, and they know Liu Ruyi's talent.

Therefore, Liu Ruyi's appeal is even greater than Li Xiangjun among these famous prostitutes.

It went well, and soon Gu Mei was invited, and Yang Chao and Hu Quan walked up to the eyebrow building.

On the second floor of the street, in a room, Gu Mei didn't make up, and she didn't know if she had just woken up or had not fallen asleep, so she came to see Yang Chao and Hu Quan without makeup.

But Gu Mei's hair is like clouds, her face is full of peach blossoms, she is indeed a first-class beauty, and she is genuine, she has no makeup, and it is impossible to have plastic surgery. But at this time, it seems that he has just woken up, and he seems to have not slept yet, and he has stayed up all night, slightly tired, but it is even more annoying.

"Hedong-kun and the incense fan pendant asked you to invite me?"

Gu Mei asked as soon as she opened her mouth, her tone full of doubt.

Yang Chao smiled: "Miss Gu doesn't need to be suspicious. It's really faked. I just want to see the girl. ”

Gu Mei smiled: "Then you see you now, how about it?" ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and gently brushed his hair with one hand, looking confident.

Yang Chao said: "Very good. ”

Gu Mei said dissatisfiedly: "How about the incense fan pendant?" What about Hedong-kun? ”

The incense fan pendant is Li Xiangjun's nickname, and generally only very close people will call her by this name, and Hedongjun is Liu Ruye's nickname.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The girl is graceful, and the two girls, Liu and Li, are also peerless, each with its own merits!" ”

Gu Mei suddenly snorted: "Flim tongue!" Say, what's going on with this invitation? ”

Yang Chao knew that the invitation could not deceive Gu Mei, because he had already known many things about these famous prostitutes in Nanjing from where Kang Cheng had been, Gu Mei debuted earlier than Li Xiangjun, and before Li Xiangjun, Gu Mei was much more famous.

There is a kind of prostitute in Nanjing that sells his art but does not sell his body, this kind of prostitute is called Nanqu, and Gu Mei is the first in Nanqu.

It was only later that Li Xiangjun suddenly jumped up, and quickly suppressed Gu Mei with his appearance and talent, and he was in the limelight. Of course, it is not that Gu Mei's talent is inferior to Li Xiangjun, but the world likes the new and hates the old, and it is not surprising that they like the younger Li Xiangjun, and Gu Mei can still be a first-class famous prostitute in Nanjing after Li Xiangjun, and she can't help but deny her superb strength, because she is five years older than Li Xiangjun.

One is the first in Nanqu in the past, and the other is the first prostitute now, so although the two did not have a bad relationship, they secretly competed.

Yang Chao smiled: "Don't dare to hide it from Miss Gu." The villain helps people make a meeting. The two girls, Liu and Li, have agreed to participate. ”

Gu Mei snorted: "They all participated, what else are you looking for me to do?" ”

Yang Chao said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from the girl, this is a grand event." All the invitees are famous prostitutes of the first class in Nanjing. With Liu and Li, how can they not take care of it? ”

Yang Chao especially said that Liu, Li and Gu were juxtaposed, and hinted that this was a grand event, and all the famous prostitutes in the city would go back, and if Gu Mei didn't go, he would be left behind.

Gu Mei didn't buy it: "Sell less guanzi." Tell me honestly what the hell you do. To invite famous prostitutes from the whole of Nanjing, such a big stroke is not something that ordinary people can do. Who is going to feast? ”

Yang Chao said: "Qian Mu Zhaigong." ”

Gu Mei shook his head: "Although Mu Zhai Gong is suave and suave, and he does not lose a weak crown when he is over the age of six, Mu Zhai Gong does not like this kind of grandstanding. ”

Yang Chao said again: "Zhang Tianru Gong." ”

Gu Mei frowned slightly: "Zhang Tianru has an indifferent temperament and lofty ambitions, and he doesn't like Qin Huai's gold powder." How would they do such a lavish deed? ”

Yang Chaotian sighed: "I really can't hide it from Miss Gu." ”

As he spoke, he poked his head out and whispered.

Gu Mei was also free and easy, not hiding or avoiding, letting Yang Chao whisper in her ear, and immediately heard: "In order to seek Zhou Yu's rope again, Zhang Tianru Gong and Qian Muzhai Gong will all support the scene, whether the girl will go or not, in a word!" ”

Gu Mei was stunned, it turned out to be such a big event, wouldn't it be a pity for her not to participate, and immediately said: "This is enough." I'll go! ”

"Okay, say goodbye in the next month, take care of the girl, on the first day of the next month, I will send a carriage to pick up the girl."

As he spoke, Yang Chao gave up his hand, slowly retreated, and when he reached the door, he turned around and walked downstairs.
