Jinling famous prostitute, poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient, and know how to sing music and opera.

However, they all think that singing is the inferior, so unless they are intimate people, women generally rarely come out to sing.

After Yin Chun, there was only one Fan Yu who sang a play in the West Chamber, playing Cui Yingying.

After Fan Yu, the four famous prostitutes finally appeared, and for some reason, they actually met and appeared together.

Yang Chao remembered before that in order to prolong the performance time, he came to perform one by one.

Now that the four of them are on the scene together, I'm afraid there is also a story in it.

Among the four, Gu Mei and the Bian sisters stood at both ends of Jinse, each playing the pipa, Sha Cai played the flute, and Li Xiangjun sang alone.

At the beginning, everyone's eyes lit up, and there were so many beauties at one time, but they were all amazed soon.

Because of the lyrics in Li Xiangjun's mouth, they haven't even heard it, it should be a new song.

There are new words that appear, and they can be accompanied by Sha Cai, Gu Mei and others, and the words are by no means ordinary.

Listening carefully, these scribes could tell that it was a long poem:

Beauty is not born from a mother's wedlock, it should be grown from a peach blossom tree,

I hate that peach blossoms are easy to fall, and falling flowers are more affectionate than you.

Meditation in the quiet time, the lover of the past hangs on the present,

If you learn the Tao with this mind, then you will be able to become a Buddha.

Tie the knot with one heart and end the fate, although this life is short-lived,

……

Yang Chao was surprised when he heard it, and after listening attentively, he only heard the last sentence: "Live up to it!" ”

This is the long poem that I copied from Cangyang Gyatso, but I didn't expect to be composed and sung by Li Xiangjun.

What Yang Chao didn't know was that Li Xiangjun used this long poem to impress other famous prostitutes, and was willing to accompany her and let her sing this finale.

Just finished singing.

"Good, good!"

"That's great!"

"It's a 'live up to it'."

"What a Li Xiangjun!"

"What an incense fan pendant!"

"Good talent, don't lose to Cai Zhuo!"

There was a lot of applause from below.

They all thought that this new poem that they had never heard before was written by Li Xiangjun, and directly praised Li Xiangjun's literary talent for not losing to legendary women like Cai Wenji and Zhuo Wenjun.

The atmosphere reached its peak in the twilight under a long poem, but it came to an abrupt end, and these famous prostitutes handled it really well.

Yang Chao couldn't help but look at Li Xiangjun.

After Li Xiangjun finished singing at this time, he was about to leave, when he saw Yang Chao with a surprised face, he actually smiled mischievously at Yang Chao.

By the time the four famous prostitutes finished their performances, the sky had already dawned, and they controlled their time well.

At this time, many guests said goodbye, and the Ruan family sent carriages to send them away one by one, and finally those famous prostitutes and servants were also sent away.

Yang Chao occasionally noticed that when he left, Liu Ruye's face was very bad.

When Yang Chao returned home, he immediately lay down.

These days, nervousness, excitement, excitement, and only deep exhaustion remains.

Yang Chao woke up to a burst of noise.

"Blacksmith Yang is there? Oh, it's the second sister-in-law. ”

"Hu Butcher, what are you doing? The kid hit my house! ”

"Isn't this here to ask, this kid doesn't go home all day and night, saying that he is having a meeting with your family Chao'er!"

"I don't know about that. Will you be caught? ”

"Who knows, the defendant made a crowd of misdeeds, and he can't eat and walk around!"

After Yang Chao heard it clearly, he realized that it was Hu Quan's father, Hu Butcher, who was talking to his mother, and the two of them were worried.

Hu Quan was grabbed by his father's arm, and when he saw Yang Chao come out, Hu Quan struggled again, but he couldn't break free.

The butcher's hand was like a plice, and he was clutching his son's arm, and his other hand was already stretched out, and he was about to scratch his ear.

Yang Chao saw that Hu Quan's two ears were already red, and he thought to himself that he didn't know how many times he had been twisted.

"Brother Yang, come here, come here!"

Hu Quan couldn't break free from his father's confinement and shouted at Yang Chao.

Yang Chao walked over with a smile: "Daddy Hu, don't dare to screw it, if you twist it again, your son's ears will fall off." ”

Yang Chao first made a joke with Hu Butcher.

Hu Wanguan snorted: "Stinky boy, say, what the hell are you doing with my whole family?" ”

Yang Chao shook his head: "the ghost? We're doing big things! ”

Hu Wanguan smiled angrily: "Big deal? What big things can a big fart boy do? ”

Hu Quan continued to struggle, kicked off his shoes with one foot, and threw it at Yang Chao.

"Brother Yang, the ticket is in the shoe! Take it away, don't show it to my father, he sees it, and it's gone. ”

The shoes were thrown in front of Yang Chao, Yang Chao picked up the shoes, a smell smoked his face, and endured taking out the three thousand taels of tickets from the shoes, but the back had been written a line of handwriting, from the first line of "three hundred taels of silver, two thousand seven hundred taels of silver", to the end of "one thousand five hundred taels of silver, one thousand taels of silver".

The amount of withdrawals is written on the north side, which is probably the origin of the endorsement.

"What's that?"

Hu Wanguan saw that his son was hiding something, and Yang Chao didn't let himself find it, so he asked curiously.

At this time, Zhao said with contempt: "The meeting ticket, I don't even know the meeting ticket!" ”

"Tickets?" Hu Wanguan was stunned for a moment, and twisted Hu Quan's ears again: "Stinky boy, tell me honestly, what's going on?" ”

Hu Quandao: "I won't tell you, you are a money fan, you don't want to take Brother Yang's money!" ”

Yang Chao had already come up at this time and took Hu Butcher's hand: "Daddy, let go, do you really want to screw your son's ears off?" ”

said that he sent the ticket to Hu Butcher's eyes: "Look, this is a real ticket." It's for someone else to do it, and there's a thousand taels left. ”

"What?"

Hu Butcher grabbed the ticket in his hand.

"Is it really a thousand taels?"

Hu Butcher couldn't help asking.

Yang Chao smiled: "Do you see it yourself?" ”

Hu Butcher said embarrassedly: "Lao Tzu doesn't know how to read!" ”

Hu Quan was let go by his father, and immediately cried and grabbed the ticket, and muttered: "Brother Yang, why did you give it to him, you are so confused." ”

Zhao looked at his son for a while, the butcher for a while, and Hu Quan for a while.

Curious, worried, and funny.

What is curious is that the son actually got another ticket, or a thousand taels.

What worries is that what Hu Butcher said is not some kind of misconduct, which is the same as his father's crime.

What's funny is that Hu Butcher looks like he is holding a meeting ticket.

Hu Butcher took the ticket, looked left and right, and hid his son.

laughed and scolded: "You stinky boy, why do you think you take all the money." ”

Saying that he reluctantly returned the ticket to Yang Chao, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, one thousand taels, I have to kill hundreds of hundred-pound sows, but I didn't calculate how many I had to kill.

Yang Chao smiled and put away the ticket.

Ruan Dacheng gave a total of 3,000 taels, took 300 taels for the first time, gave 150 taels to the Liu family's workshop, and 100 taels to Kang Cheng for funds, plus the subsequent expenses, such as hiring carriages, such as sending men and servants, a total of 500 taels of silver was spent.

Later, Kang Cheng said that although those famous prostitutes did not say that they wanted money, according to the custom, they had to be given silver.

Under normal circumstances, in their respective homes, seven or eight taels to ten taels are enough, and if they go out to support other people's fields, they get twenty or thirty taels, and Kang Cheng said that fifty taels is enough.

Yang Chao was simply generous, anyway, it was Ruan Dacheng's money, so he simply sealed one hundred taels per person, and the favor that fell was his own, and he had a good relationship with these courtesans in the future, and many things were convenient.

In addition to the four famous prostitutes of Li, Gu, Sha, and Bian, Yang Chao also invited six second-rate famous prostitutes, with a total of 1,000 taels of silver.

Among the other performers, Zhang Kui asked for three hundred taels, and the others Yang Chao gave a total of two hundred taels, which is the reason for the last thousand five hundred taels, which is the performance fee of these artists.

There are 1,000 taels left, and Yang Chao plans to settle accounts with Ruan Dacheng today.

As a result, something like this happened.

When Hu Tuhu saw that everything was clear, he took his son back and scolded along the way.

Yang Chao didn't have the heart to continue sleeping, and planned to go to Ruan's house, but at this time, a small servant came.

The person who came was the little girl of the Bian sisters' family, and he came to send money to Yang Chao, which was exactly one hundred taels.

"My young lady said that she didn't dare to ask for your money. also said, she doesn't want any of your colorful paintings. ”

After saying that, he left.

Yang Chao was a little inexplicable, but he felt that it didn't seem to be good, and it seemed that the Bian sisters had opinions about themselves.

Yang Chao set off to Ruan's house, thinking about how he offended the Bian sisters along the way, was he not taking good care of them, they were all fine yesterday, and they performed very happily.

The Bian sisters and Li Xiangjun finally took the stage together, and before Li Xiangjun stepped down, she winked at herself naughtily, and she didn't look unhappy.

I couldn't figure it out for a while, but I had already arrived at Ruan's house.

Ruan Dacheng happened to be at home.

Yang Chao explained to him a while, and returned the ticket with the smell of Hu Quan's feet to Ruan Dacheng, Ruan Dacheng refused with a smile, which was expected by Yang Chao, this was his honorarium, Yang Chao did not refuse, and put it in his arms again.

However, Yang Chao helped Ruan Dacheng so much and created such a big momentum, so he gave a thousand taels of silver, this scribe, in the final analysis, in terms of money, is not as good as a businessman like Wang Xiao.

After another conversation, Ruan Dacheng is no longer as excited and excited as yesterday, in the end, he is an old Jianghu, calm down, and he looks like a very deep city.

Speaking of yesterday's donation, Ruan Dacheng said that he didn't have to worry about himself, nor did he have to worry about Yang Chao, early in the morning, Zhang Pu took his own people to visit the rich businessmen who promised to donate yesterday, as for those who made trouble, they couldn't take care of it, although several of them also promised to donate.

Yesterday, eight wealthy businessmen, including Wu Tianxing 30,000 taels, Zhou Rui 20,000 taels, and the remaining six 10,000 taels each, adding up to 110,000 taels, Zhang Pu himself raised nearly 20,000 taels, Ruan Dacheng promised to give 20,000 taels, Zhang Pu has 150,000 taels of funds in his hand, and he really doesn't need any money from scholars.

Yang Chao is also happy to be idle, but Yang Chao is still quite sorry that he can't go to Xu Zhongxiao's house to ask for the account in person, he really wants to go to Xu's house to see Xu Zhongxiao's appearance after taking out 10,000 taels of silver.

After saying goodbye to Ruan Dacheng, he first went to Mingwa Corridor and settled accounts in the Liu family's workshop, but there was still a deposit of fifty taels left, and Yang Chao didn't ask for it, saying that he was giving the Liu family's hard-working masters some tea money.

Then he turned back to the nearby Nanshi Building, and when he was done, it was time for him to take his official uniform home.

I met Wang Xiao as I wished, this kid was waiting for Yang Chao, saying that he was about to leave Nanjing.

But instead of going back to Hangzhou, he went north again.

Yesterday, so much money was raised, Wang Xiao saw at a glance that the transfer of this money was a ** annoyance, obviously it would be very difficult for a literati like Zhang Pu to operate, so Wang Xiao offered to help Zhang Puhui go to Beijing with this money.

The Wang family did not have any great power in Beijing, and their family was a canal business from Hangzhou to Linqing in the north, but the end point was Linqing in Shandong, and there was no foundation in the north.

However, the Wang family's friends were wealthy businessmen in Beijing, and Wang Xiao planned to remit the money from Nanjing to Huai'an and Linqing first, and then transfer it to Beijing through his own network.

It is very troublesome for the Wang family to do this, let alone Zhang Pu.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Pu heard that Wang Xiao was willing to help, he immediately agreed, and when he heard that Wang Xiao was willing to accompany him to Beijing, he praised the Wang family as a righteous businessman.

explained to Kang Cheng again, and asked Kang Cheng to help go to the Bian sisters to see how he had offended the Bian family.

Yang Chao is carrying a big burden, he went home first, and it was time to tell his parents about being an official.
