Section 163 The town and the building are unique
After the commotion of the scholars ended, Nanjing once again entered the normal track, all walks of life started work in an orderly manner, government officials continued to work, and literati began to enter the Qinglou to have fun again.
It was a good time for the Golden Hairpin Building to open at this time.
This time it is still unprecedented, not to mention the old show of the four famous prostitutes in Nanjing, just Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, the two famous prostitutes on stage, are enough to earn enough eyeballs.
Last year, scholars made a fuss until February, and many people became angry.
Needless to say, the fourth prince has no other reputation, at least in Nanjing, he can already compete with the old clubs Donglin and Fushe in reputation, which makes Donglin leader Qian Qianyi knock out his front teeth and can only swallow it in his stomach, but the fourth prince is picked up with his acquiescence.
If he hadn't secretly supported him at the beginning, the fourth prince would not have had so much courage, and there would not be so many people to support the fourth prince.
But the fourth prince finally came up with a second club, and this year this club still maintains a united appearance, the degree of closeness is better than that of Donglin, accidentally Qian Qianyi is equivalent to cultivating a political opponent for himself, and he can't help but be depressed.
In addition to the four sons, Li Xiangjun of Meixianglou also became popular, because everyone knows that the scholar's commotion came from Meixianglou, and it was Li Xiangjun in Meixianglou who first clashed with Jinyiwei.
Therefore, Mei Xianglou, Li Xiangjun can be called the fuse of this scholar's commotion, plus Li Xiangjun has been on the side of scholars since then, not afraid of power to provide a place for scholars to have a night banquet, and also helped the fourth son to become famous, etc., so that Li Xiangjun's first prostitute in Nanjing is even more unshakeable.
But these people are not the most popular, Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan are. Even Liu Ru is more famous than the famous prostitutes in Nanjing.
Because the cause of this incident was that Tian Wan chased Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan from Suzhou to Nanjing, and then made a fuss. And Liu Ru is one of the clue characters, and this story has now spread throughout the Qinhuai River. All scholars, talents, famous prostitutes, and fairy babies do not know the story line.
Therefore, Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan are more famous, and Li Xiangjun is the fuse of the scholar's commotion, and these two people are the direct cause.
Therefore, in the window lattice in front of the Jinchai Building, the portraits of Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan were hung, and they didn't need to publicize themselves.
Many people have speculated whether Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan will come to Jinchai Tower to perform. Because in the past, when Gu Mei's and Li Xiangjun's painting windows were hung in Jinchai Tower, it was when they were performing, and now Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan are hanged, does it mean that these two will appear and perform in Jinchai Tower.
Ordinary scholars and scribes can only guess, but the characters who really have backgrounds and identities have already got the program list of Jinchai Lou in their hands.
Send the program list, and then let the guests choose the day to watch, and Jin Hailou helps arrange the seats. This is the operating model that was set last year, and of course, only a small number of high-level customers can enjoy this treatment, either officials or the children of nobles. In short, there are no more than 100 such customers in Nanjing.
In the past, after the guests chose the time according to the program list, they sent the family to inform the Jinchai Building, and the Jinchai Building could calmly arrange the time seats, but this time the Jinchai Building was a little embarrassed, because when the program list was given to the major magnates, civil officials and wealthy people, they all said that they wanted to watch the performance of the Jinchai Building on the first day.
Although there are not many high-level customers, they all come on the first day. I can't get rid of it.
It is impossible to rank the civil and powerful elites, let alone the wealthy businessmen.
In the end, only a decision can be made. On the first day all seats sat the magnates and civil servants, so that it did. The merchant class, accustomed to a lower level of social status, was also convinced, and they could come to the show the next day, which was not a bargain.
Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan's prosperity was unexpected, so Jinchailou's business climbed to a peak again.
When it opened in mid-April, it was full of customers, and all the seats were filled with people with backgrounds.
On the eight chairs in the first row, sitting are princes like Xu Qingjun, and senior officials like Ying Tianfu Yin.
The second row is made of the earl's children, and there are a large number of civil officials below the third rank.
The third and fourth rows sat civil officials of the seventh rank and below.
Hundreds of civil officials and magnates in Nanjing gathered in Jinchai Tower, whether this grand occasion can be absolutely unprecedented, but it is absolutely unprecedented.
And the performance on the stage is also more exciting, accompanied by hundreds of girls, and the first person to appear on the stage makes everyone's eyes shine.
Dong Xiaowan was the first to appear.
Before singing, I first thanked the scholars in Nanjing, especially the four sons' righteous protection, so that they dared to see the light of day, otherwise they would only dare to hide, hide, and dare not see people forever.
Of course, Dong Xiaowan and Chen Yuanyuan will take the stage to sing, they have communicated with the Erli Society in advance, and they have asked Kang Cheng to talk, Huang Fengfu has completed the help on the side, and the four sons of the Erli Society have agreed to come down when they hear it, saying that the two girls will sing in the Jinchai Building, they will definitely support the scene, and if there is any eyeless Jinyi Wei, the corrupt officials are looking for trouble, and they will bear it with the Erli Society.
With their assurance, these two can boldly take the stage.
Sure enough, Dong Xiaowan's thanks to the fourth prince in front of the Nanjing magnates and hundreds of officials made the fourth prince who could only sit in the second row have a light on his face, and his heart was extremely proud, and the unhappiness of being squeezed into the second row by the big officials and magnates also dissipated in an instant, and the fourth prince also stood up and returned the salute to Dong Xiaowan, saying that as long as it is out of justice, the four sons of them will take care of it, and they will take care of it, and they will take care of it.
Dong Xiaowan sang the opening song, and only after singing more than ten tunes in a row did she leave.
Then the four famous prostitutes took turns to perform, and all of them sang songs, and none of them acted in dramas.
The audience didn't care, and it was even very strange that they were not interested in the acting of the four famous prostitutes, and hoped that they would step down as soon as possible, because everyone couldn't wait to see Chen Yuanyuan.
"Brother Yang, it's terrible."
Kang Cheng and Yang Chao stood at the end, dancing excitedly, this time it was not before, this time it was completely done by him. In the middle, Yang Chao didn't help in any way, except for an idea to ask Kang Cheng to invite Chen and Dong. Let Kang regret to deceive the fourth son, and Yang Chao has been staying in the barracks. I haven't even entered the gate of the Golden Hairpin Tower.
"Brother Kang, don't be impatient!"
Yang Chao shook his head and smiled, Kang Cheng was too excited.
Kang Cheng still couldn't help but say: "Do you know what everyone says, they all say that Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan are women who want to give to the emperor, and now they have come to Jinchai Tower to perform, and they can't help but take a look." Rushing to see it, now our guests are lined up for ten days, hundreds of people a day. That's a thousand. ”
Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan are the ones who want to give it to the emperor, which is not bad at all, Tian Wan has been looting in Jiangnan under such a banner, so no one dares to stand up to stop him, but Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan didn't get their hands on it, and they made such a big move, and the scholars in Jiangnan took action.
Now these two people suddenly appeared in Jinchai Tower to sing and act, who can not be excited, who doesn't want to see these two people.
However, Yang Chao was a little dissatisfied, and said to Kang: "They are not women who want to give it to the emperor. It's the woman the emperor has a crush on. ”
Kang was stunned: "How did Brother Yang know?" ”
Yes, how did Yang Chao know that Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan were the women that Emperor Chongzhen had a crush on?
Yang Chao smiled: "Brother Kang, have you heard me say the meaning of the brand. It's not about what we actually are, it's not about what we tell others to be, it's about what others think we are, and our impression in the minds of others is our brand image. Now in the same way, the key is not whether the emperor has a crush on these two women, but if these two women are the women that the emperor has a crush on, it will be good for us. ”
Kang was shocked, it turned out that Yang Chao didn't know at all. It's just nonsense.
"Brother Yang means that we are going to spread rumors?"
"Wrong!"
Yang Chao shook his head.
"It's not us who spread rumors, but guides. Guide everyone to think about where to go. The real reason why Tian Wan chased after these two famous prostitutes may be to take the opportunity to make money. But if it is said that the emperor ordered him to find these two girls, is it reasonable? ”
Kang Cheng nodded, but was still a little frightened by the rumors of the emperor.
Yang Chao said again: "So later, Tian Wan committed such a big thing, and the emperor dismissed the official lightly, because it was not Tian Wan's fault, it was simply the emperor who valued these two people and asked Tian Wan to help pick them up." ”
Kang regretted and said: "Then why don't the two girls go, it is a great blessing to be able to get the emperor's joy." ”
Yang Chao said with a smile: "This is wonderful, the two girls don't want to be prosperous and rich, they would rather stay in Jiangnan and be free, isn't it more attractive, isn't it more stylish." ”
Kang regretted and wondered: "Who will believe it." ”
Yang Chao said with a smile: "I don't want to believe such a beautiful story, but I am willing to say it and pass it on like this." ”
The more bizarre and unbelievable the story, the more people are willing to spread it, even if they don't believe it, they just want to say that, they want to pass it on, and over time it becomes confusing, no one knows the truth, and they use illusions as the truth.
Therefore, "after a long time, it has become true." ”
Kang Cheng swallowed his saliva when he heard this, and felt that it was really feasible, in that case, Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan's fame would probably overpower Li Xiangjun and become the first and second famous prostitutes in Nanjing, and these two famous prostitutes would sing in Jinchai Tower all year round, wouldn't that be developed.
In the past, there was no famous prostitute townhouse, but now there are two of them all at once, and they are among the best.
Kang regret couldn't help but admire Yang Chao.
In fact, Yang Chao is just stealing the hype concept of later generations, and it is just a surface, compared with those professional hype companies, it is simply a small thing, but it is very remarkable in the Ming Dynasty, after all, the later generations have accumulated hundreds of years of marketing experience, and this experience is across the times in the Ming Dynasty.
As he spoke, Chen Yuanyuan finally appeared on the stage.
Other famous prostitutes don't act in dramas but only sing songs, Chen Yuanyuan came up with a story of the West Chamber, playing the good Cui Yingying, and two girls, one dressed as a matchmaker, and the other dressed as Zhang Sheng, and sang a long play. (To be continued)
