The two of them were shocked when they heard it, what Zuo Changhao said was the germination of capitalism rumored in later generations, and at this time, it sounded completely different, according to Chen Xin's understanding, even in modern times, there were only a handful of industries with thousands of employees in China, but they had appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

Zuo Changhao didn't have a trace of pride when he said it, as if it should be so. Liu Minyou was thinking about his heart and eating without knowing the taste, while Chen Xin and Song Wenxian kept curiously asking Zuo Changhao some interesting things about Nanqu, laughing from time to time.

They talked about it, this meal lasted for a long time, Zuo Changhao had been in the mall for a long time, and he was used to welcoming and sending them, and he got along well with several people. Xu Xinsu was set in the evening, after they finished eating, Zuo Changhao wanted to invite them to the river house to pass the time, Song Wenxian remembered that he had handed over Dingpa in the morning, and he must invite Zuo Changhao to Yumian Building.

The group chatted while walking, Zuo Changhao was extremely flattering to Chen Xin, and Chen Xin was still so amiable in other places except that Chen Xin often posed in front of the officers. Zuo Changhao's bodyguards were still scattered around, and they all looked carefully when pedestrians approached. Chen Xin looked at them, and called the sea dog to go back to the inn and wait for Nie Hong and the others.

They slowly arrived outside the Yumian Building, there were a few servants and maidservants standing at the door, the copper ring was half-hidden, Zuo Changhao fell half a step behind Chen Xin, and asked Chen Xin to go up the steps first.

Several handmaidens saluted in unison and said, "Son, ten thousand blessings." One of the maidservants was set by Song Wenxian, and she came over affectionately and took Song Wenxian's hand and laughed with him in a low voice.

Chen Xin smiled and nodded, a servant helped him push open the door and led them in, and the parrot on a bird's stand in the door suddenly said, "Brother-in-law is here, brother-in-law is here"

Song Wenxian laughed, teased it with his hand, and said to the maid beside him: "People say that Qin Huai is beautiful, and this parrot brother is also stained with aura." ”

Before Liu Minyou understood what his brother-in-law meant, Song Wenxian turned his head to him and said: "In the Qinglou, the guest is called the brother-in-law, and the bustard's mother is called ......" This brother-in-law title made Liu Min's eyes jump, Song Wenxian had not yet said the title of the bustard's mother, and Zuo Changhao in front shouted: "Grandma." ”

Liu Minyou thought that Zuo Changhao's grandmother was coming, turned his head to look, and saw a gorgeous woman in her thirties, dressed in colorful silk, with beads and emeralds on her head, and came over with a smoky eye, and said to a few people a few steps away: "Zuo Gongzi has not seen him for a long time, and his daughter is worried, and he will be fined two more glasses of wine today." ”

Zuo Changhao said with a smile: "Xiaosheng also misses his grandmother and the girls day and night, and his grandmother should award two glasses of wine." After he finished speaking, his eyes slanted slightly towards Chen Xin.

The bustard's mother pursed her lips and smiled, she was a person in the party, just looking at Zuo Changhao half a step behind, she knew that today's protagonist was Chen Xin, this Zuo Changhao was generous in the past, and the people invited were either rich or expensive.

She glanced at this tall Brother Chen, a talent, full of smiles, although the appearance is gentle, but there is a kind of murderous atmosphere in his demeanor, she guessed that he is a military attaché, it is estimated that he is a bit of an official position, but Nanqu is full of officials and wealthy businessmen, she is well-informed, and she does not take it seriously, and he is not arrogant or humble and said: "Chen Gongzi has an extraordinary appearance, and several companions are also gentle and elegant, and they have to be worthy of the fairy in the sky." ”

Zuo Changhao hurriedly said to a few people: "Grandma Li's two daughters are called Nanqu Fairies, and they are just worthy of Brother Chen." ”

"I only hate that I have a few daughters, only Yan'er is idle today, Zuo Gongzi knows that she is used to getting up late, so I have to invite you to listen to music first, or how about commenting on the story?"

Chen Xin looked at Grandma Li's enchanting **, in fact, it was more flavorful than those little girls, and he had more appetite for him, but he was also embarrassed to say that he was called to accompany the bustard's mother, and said casually: "I heard Brother Zuo say that Yumian Building is like a fairyland, but he is shy in his pocket, and he has not been able to make the trip, and he has saved a few months of silver, and today he just got together a few taels of silver, so he called Brother Zuo to come over, and he has been waiting for several months, and it doesn't hurt to wait." ”

Grandma Li knew that he was laughing, and glanced at Chen Xin a few times and said: "It turns out that Chen Gongzi is a romantic person like an oil seller, and the daughter of the old man is the most amorous, maybe Chen Gongzi really won the huākui is unknown." ”

Chen Xin said a few words of humility, he was just here to have fun, and taking Huā Kui back was not suitable for the social atmosphere of Weihai, although Weihai was slightly better than other places in Shandong, but the foundation was still weak, and it was necessary to maintain simple folk customs. , Zuo Changhao said to Chen Xin: "Chen Gongzi still doesn't know that Grandma Li treats her daughter very well, and she is also the most bold. If her daughter falls in love with Brother Chen, maybe Grandma Li will give a large dowry. ”

Several people laughed, and the mother of Li Bustard said a few words modestly, and said to a few people: "I happened to invite Liu Mazi today, talking about "Uncle Qin Bao Sees the Girl" and "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", if you haven't heard him write, you can't miss it." After speaking, he led Chen Xin and the others to walk inside, Zuo Changhao said to Chen Xin: "This Liu Mazi is called Liu Jingting, and he is a market person in Nanqu in recent days. ”

Chen Xin suddenly realized that this Liu Jingting, like Zuo Liangyu, was known to the general public because of "Peach Huā Fan", and it turned out that he was a storyteller at this time. A few people followed Grandma Li, passed a round arch, looked up, and saw a huā garden, the courtyard trees cover the sun, the huā wood is uneven, and there are wooden corridors on both sides, hidden in the strange rocks and green trees.

In the middle of the huā garden is a lotus pond, there are a few pink lotus huā blooming in the water, a winding path in the middle, carved into the shape of lotus leaves, there is a rockery on both sides of the path, there are traces of moss on it, and there is a small dilapidated fishing boat parked on one side, with a paddle on it, with the lotus pond but not shabby, but there is an antique charm. The courtyard wafts with the fragrance of decoction of molten lì and orchid huā, as if it were not a dusty scene.

The scenery here once again impressed Chen Xin, such a scenery can already be called a garden, and what makes him even more strange is that some of the maids walking among them are dressed in plain clothes with narrow sleeves, which are very elegant, but they are more like good families than those ordinary women on the street, completely subverting the image of a brothel in his impression of throwing a handkerchief and calling the uncle to play.

Grandma Li led them through the path of the pond and walked zigzag among the huā trees, where the sound of silk and bamboo could already be faintly heard, and Chen Xin felt like hearing the effect of a soundproof private room in the corridor of a KTV.

After a few turns in the path, they arrived in front of a two-story building, Zuo Changhao strongly recommended Liu Mazi to tell the story, although Chen Xin wanted to see the famous prostitute, but it was not easy to say, he actually had no interest in storytelling, and he couldn't stand Zuo Changhao's enthusiasm, so he had to follow to the largest small building, and walked to the door, where the bustard's mother called a maidservant girl to give a few words and led a few people in.

A dwarf winter melon-like pockmark is on the stage, and there is a startling wood on the table in front of him, he is talking about Jingyanggang fighting tigers, and there are already some people sitting below, each of them has a small table, with snacks and drinks on it, listening and eating.

Zuo Changhao invited Chen Xin and Liu Minyou to sit in a position in the front, the two of them had a table, the maid soon came to serve snacks and wine, and Song Wenxian and others sat in the back.

On Chen Xin's right was a fat man who looked like a wealthy businessman, his mouth was wide open, staring intently at Liu Jingting above, at this time Liu Mazi was talking about Wu Song to Jingyang Gangxia.

"Wu Song looked at the roadside wine swagger, and the wine worm came up, and then he saw a big sign standing in front of the door, which read: 'Three bowls are not enough'!"

Liu Jingting's ugly face was crooked, and he laughed three times, "Wu Song thought to himself, what a big breath, I want to drink seven or eight bowls today to see if I can get by......"

The fat rich businessman next to him grinned and laughed twice, and seemed to be also talking about alcohol addiction, picked up a wine glass on the table and took a sip, just put it to his mouth, and the willow pockmark on it slammed it with a startled wood, and there was a loud bang, and the fat man was so frightened that the wine was dripping on his beard. Even Chen Xin and Liu Minyou were taken aback and raised their eyes to look at the stage.

Liu Mazi glanced around, "Entering the restaurant, Wu Song turned his eyes and looked, there were seven or eight tables and chairs, a long wine tank, but there was no one, Wu Song threw the burden on the table, the whistle stick stood against the wall, sat down with his feet crossed, slapped the table suddenly, and shouted: 'Restaurant, bring the wine!' "This roar shook the empty cylinders in the store and buzzed, and the roof tile wall fell with a ......"

The fat rich businessman next to Chen Xin heard this, rubbing his hands on the table, and Liu Minyou whispered to Chen Xin: "This Liu Jingting is right." ”

"No matter how good it is, can there be a Hollywood blockbuster to look good." Chen Xin was bored eating the snacks on the table, while thinking about how to talk to Xu Xinsu, especially about Qian Zhuang.

Just thought about it, there was a startling sound on it, Chen Xin was excited, and was pulled back to the scene, between Liu Mazi looked up at the roof, and said: "The store has to go out and take a look, there is a big black man in the store, one foot two long, a willow bucket-like head, a fan-like palm, and a bucket bowl-sized ...... when held."

The fat rich businessman looked up at the roof, grinned and sighed, waved his hands gently, and listened very attentively, Chen Xin moved his position and moved a little farther away from him. Looking back, I saw that the people behind me were also listening very seriously, only Song Wenxian was holding a maid and was putting his hands up and down, deaf to Liu Mazi's movements.

The servant girl may have been touched and itchy, and laughed out, this time it was good, it was heard by Liu Jingting on the stage, the ugly face was full of displeasure, and he stopped not speaking, a few old listeners saw his appearance, and knew who was talking and dozing off, and turned his head to look, and saw Song Wenxian's appearance, and they all shouted and scolded, and scolded the maid, which scared the maid to the point of being colorless, and the stupid monk standing at the end didn't understand what was going on, but seeing them scolding Song Wenxian, he put his hand under the hem of his clothes and touched the handle of the knife, as long as Chen Xin greeted, was about to go up and cut people, Chen Xin hurriedly shook his hand with the stupid monk, Song Wenxian stood up with a hippie smile, and arched his hand to apologize, Zuo Changhao went over and whispered Song Wenxian's apology.

The three Zuo Changhao's bodyguards outside listened to the movement, and ran in two, several of his bodyguards were quite murderous, and immediately suppressed the people in the field, Zuo Changhao turned around and glanced coldly at the few people who were scolding, and those few people stopped and urged Liu Jingting to speak quickly.

Chen Xin scolded in a low voice: "The fucking shelf is still big." ”

Liu Min said: "People are performing, and they should also be respected." ”

Chen Xin glanced at the fat man beside him dissatisfiedly, he scolded the most just now, and now Liu Jingting began to speak again, he immediately entered the state again, opened his mouth to look at the stage, and danced while drinking.

Chen Xin and the others continued to listen to the commentary boringly, until they reached Jingyang Gang, Wu Song walked halfway, the branches on the side of the road shook, and a white-fronted tiger came out. The fat man shook his hand, and a few drops of wine spilled on Chen Xin's clothes.

Chen Xin turned his head to the fat man and said, "Brother Tai, be careful with the wine glass in your hand." ”

The fat man didn't look back, sighed, and continued to listen to Liu Mazi's story, so engrossed that he didn't even know that saliva flowed out, Chen Xin shook his head, and continued to deal with dim sum, Liu Mazi talked about Wu Song and the tiger fighting, the more intense he spoke, the faster and faster the speech became, the listeners held their breath, lest they miss a point, just said that the tiger's tail was swept away, Wu Song let it ride on it later, Liu Jingting shouted, "Raise the fist of the wine bowl and hit the tiger's head, only to hear a bang......"

The fat man next to him raised his hand happily, and a glass of wine poured Chen Xin's head, Chen Xin was wet for the second time today, and he burned in anger, and punched the fat man in the head.

"The tiger vomited blood in its mouth and fell to the ground ......"
