Chapter 241: Freemasonry
"My lord, you see me like this...... All right? Bisu put on a gray cloth monk's robe, and said in horror: "My subordinates have never been serious monks, and when I was in Guangyuan, I fooled the rich man in the countryside, and I was only afraid of ......."
"I'm afraid, this official passed by Daxiangguo Temple two days ago, and he also saw this Bianliang monk. The nun sells embroidered purses in front of the temple, and the fat monk has a futon, singing the scriptures there, comparing the size of the voice, who shouts loudly and vigorously, it is a burst of applause, and he is said to be a monk, I don't think it is better than you. ”
Yang Hao smiled and was relieved, Bisu was still not at ease, and said: "But this time I went out with the adults, in case someone asks me about the Dharma, I can't even memorize a complete paragraph, so why don't you show it on the spot?" ”
Yang Hao said: "What is there to memorize, you remember, you are a high monk from the Western Regions, and the Dharma is profound, how can you learn that little novice, and what scriptures do you have to memorize?" Also, don't talk about subordinates and lowly positions, you have to call the poor monk, Yue'er, Xiaoyu, you two remember, to the wall, you must be called the master, and you can't call him by his name anymore. ”
Xiao Yu and Mu Yi smiled and responded, "Yes." ”
Bi Su said with a sad face: "It belongs to ...... The poor monk said that he would not memorize the scriptures, if anyone would ...... to me When a poor monk asks for Buddhism, he can't always say nothing, right? So how to deal with it? ”
Yang Hao smiled: "This is easy, monks, they all like to play the edge." What others say, if you feel that it is not good to answer, then just say something ambiguous, I don't know what to say, you can rest assured, the more you say that the clouds and mountains and fog are not boundary, the more it is like a Zen machine, the more people think that you are advanced in Buddhism, he does not understand and has to pretend to understand, and he dare not ask you. Besides, you are pretending to be a deviant wine and meat monk, and if you don't look like a monk, you don't have to take it seriously. ”
After Yang Hao finished speaking, he asked: "The two words I told you can be memorized fluently?" ”
Bisu said: "This is familiar, but ......"
"Then it's done, let's go, go to Ruxue Fang to make a name for yourself!" Yang Hao said with a dry spirit, turned around and walked out. These days, pretending to be a grandson, this heart has been depressed for a long time, and now it is not low-key, but can only be high-profile, pretending to be crazy, maybe it is a protective color.
"Remember, remember, you can't walk like this, you have to be crazy, you have to be proud, your chin is high, your eyes are looking up, and you don't bow your head under the threshold under your feet, yes, yes, this is the style of the poet monk Wuhua Master of the Western Regions."
Yang Hao finished pointing with a smile, and Anbu drove in front, and Bisu, Xiao Yu, and Mu Yike all followed behind. Xiao Yu Qingyi and small hat are very energetic, dressed as a portable little girl, and Mu Yike is wearing a ring suit, combing her hair in three buns, and she looks like a pretty girl who is happy and hateful.
After crossing the Longjin Bridge, Yang Hao looked back at the appearance of his group: "Drink!" A little girl, a monk, and a little girl with a sweet smile and big eyes, huh...... Sandezi, Fayin, and Xiao Peach are all together, if you want another Yifei, I can directly shoot the sixth part of Weifu's private interview...... People come and go at the bridgehead, carts, stalls, and the sound of selling is endless. The river is rippling under the bridge, and small boats are shuttling back and forth. Yang Hao played with the folding fan in his hand, and hummed bitterly: "Double ~~~ Wheel, Wupeng ~~~ Boat, Mountain ~ High Road Far ~~', wake up, dream, people~~~ life is short......"
Under the Longjin Bridge, Li Jiaxiang shop.
Upstairs in a small pavilion, a white-clothed man with a face like a crown of jade is standing in front of the window and looking at the railing, Yang Hao and his party, monks and laymen, male and female masters and servants, are conspicuous, and they fall into the eyes of "him". As soon as he saw Yang Hao, "he" immediately showed a look of love and hatred on his face.
This handsome boy dressed in white like snow is exactly what Ji Ziyu is playing. She knew that Yang Hao had arrived in the capital, and although she thought of him from time to time in her heart, she resolutely refused to go to see him. Who knows that the road is narrow, and you can bump into him here. Seeing a group of men and women, holding folding fans, and seemingly humming something, the excerpt Ziyu felt bitter in his heart: "This wrongdoer, I really forgot about it cleanly, good, good, you are so ......"
She was torturing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and a man dressed as an idle man in his thirties hurriedly entered the small pavilion, came to her back, and whispered: "Miss, my subordinates have found out the accurate news, and in five days, the Song army will go south." ”
"Good!" Zheziyu "brushed" the folding fan, slapped it in his palm, and asked, "How is the situation with Lin Huzi?" ”
"Miss, there is no news from Hu Shuai now."
Excerpt Yu Dai frowned, groaned slightly, and said: "Quickly arrange the boat, I will go south immediately, and see the tiger handsome side again." ”
"Yes." The man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Miss, Wu Waxi is the first person in the four major lines of Bianliang Qinglou, and she has made countless friends with powerful and famous people, which is of great help to Miss's affairs." Now she is competing with Liu Duoer of 'Ruxue Fang' for fame, if Miss leaves, will she ......?"
Excerpt Ziyu smiled and said: "It's okay, I think that Liu Duo'er is already poor in skills, and Wu Wa can beat her even if I can't help her at this time." Besides, I can't go back and forth for more than ten days, and I can't delay any major events. ”
"Yes, then the subordinate will arrange it immediately."
The man hurriedly retreated, Zhen Ziyu glanced at Yang Hao again, Yang Hao and his party had already traveled far away, leaving only a back, Zhen Ziyu gritted his teeth, and then turned around and left......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Ruxuefang" back house, Liu Duoer and Pang Mama and Zhao Steward were discussing things worriedly in her room. If he loses in the competition with Wu Waer, although he is only subordinate, he is still a well-known figure in Bianliang, but his influence is very different. Just like the champions, runners-up and third runners-up in later competitions, in terms of strength, the fourth place is not much worse than them, but the influence is worlds apart.
If she was excluded from the top of the line, although her talent and appearance may not be much worse than them, but due to her fame, she was a pure geisha, and the money she earned at that time was incomparable. When the time comes, if you can't cope with the huge expenses, it will inevitably deteriorate and eventually disappear.
At this time, the Qinglou business model was very different from that of later generations. Some of them are city prostitutes, that is, free bodies who voluntarily engage in business, so they are not exploited by the owner of the Qinglou, and as the top brand, she is also considered a boss of the Qinglou and owns a part of the shares.
For example, "Ruxue Fang", it has three bosses.
One is Miss Liu Duoer, she is a city prostitute, her identity is free, and she belongs to a cooperative relationship with the other two bosses. She has her own property and a group of people, mainly her singing and dancing assistants, like Miss Miaomiao.
The second boss is the landlord Mrs. Pang, she is a native of Tokyo, the landlord of "Ruxuefang", in addition to renting the house, she is also responsible for arranging catering, receiving hospitality, food and clothing, servants' dining room and other internal matters, in fact, the internal affairs of the Qinglou.
The third boss is the steward Zhao Jixiang. Steward Zhao is also a local, responsible for bodyguards and hospitals, and dealing with the government, local snakes, and peers.
Mrs. Pang muttered: "Luo Sangongzi has helped find some people named Yang Hao in the past two days, but unfortunately none of them match, Mr. Lu's place, the old body has also made people go, I don't know how you offended him, girl, then Mr. Lu said that he would not take a penny, and he would also help Wu Wa'er write words, and now we have ten taels of gold, and he will not bow down." ”
Steward Zhao listened and said dissatisfiedly: "Wu Wa'er has such a deep foundation in Bianliang City, most of those gentry and celebrities and local talents buy her account, how can they come to help the girl." Only this Lu Renjia has eyes above the top, and no one cares about it, so he has no scruples. The girl fell behind, and had no choice but to turn to him for help, but you offended him. If you don't ...... The girl went to the door and begged for a pleading, maybe it would make him change his mind......"
Liu Duo'er's pretty face sank, and said, "Steward Zhao, don't mention this person." ”
Steward Zhao smiled coldly, and scolded in his heart: "I don't know the height of the sky, the cheap maid who is praised as the head of the line, I really think I am a character, the woman who rolls in the wind and dust, sooner or later, she is not going to embark on the road of Israel, but she wants to be pretentious, what kind of chaste woman, hum!" ”
Mrs. Pang hurriedly said: "Actually, we don't have to compare Wu Wa'er. That Wu Wa'er is naturally charming, and this posture is not inferior to yours of the girl. She is full of poetry and books, good at poetry and coping, calligraphy and painting, chess, and tea ceremony, where she lives is called Qingyin Xiaozhu, self-proclaimed Qingyin Xiaozhu master, and has the most contacts with talented people. This is what she is best at, and there is no shame in falling behind the poems.
Girl, what you are best at is singing and dancing, although she was inferior to her in dancing a few days ago, but the girl's singing voice is like a natural sound, and people are fascinated by it, at this point, she is not as good as you, we might as well work hard in this regard, as long as there is a place that can press her head, it will not be tight. ”
Zhao Jixiang sneered: "It's easy to say, now the entire Bianliang City knows the fighting methods of the two girls, if only the singing voice beats her, then only the dwarf is the head." originally planned to ask Mr. Lu to write a good poem to win over Wu Wa'er in what she is best at and save her reputation, but now he ...... Hum! ”
Mrs. Pang is just a landlord, if she has a lot of money, she doesn't care about it, so she said: "If you lose, you will lose, and the girl's ability may not be able to get by, but the pomp and circumstance will be saved, and then some labor will be resigned." ”
As soon as she said this, someone outside called her, so she hurriedly agreed and walked out, Zhao Jixiang said disdainfully: "It's really nonsense, if that's the case, who is willing to come with status?" If it gets mixed to the point of being second- or third-rate, it will be difficult to turn over. ”
Liu Duoer felt miserable when she heard this, and her appearance was a little bleak, Zhao Jixiang said coldly: "As soon as the girl is defeated, the hearts of the people will be separated, and it will inevitably collapse...... Hey! ”
Liu Duo'er stared at him quietly for a moment, and said lightly: "The concubine really can't think of any countermeasures now, does Steward Zhao have any way to bring the dead back to life?" ”
When Zhao Jixiang heard this, he hurriedly said: "If you want to say a way, it's not nothing." The girl is naturally beautiful, if she doesn't stick to her own opinions, and gives a little color to Mr. Lu and other famous Shilin and some powerful ministers in Bianliang, are you afraid that they will not help? At that time, even if you can't suppress Wu Wa'er, you can still fight with her, and you will be bright for a while. ”
Liu Duo'er tightened the veins on her neck, she took a long breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said word for word: "Concubine...... A leaf of duckweed, wandering away, except for this innocent body, there is nothing. ”
Zhao Jixiang said shamelessly: "Girl, it's wrong for you to think so." In fact, this hook has been mixed up for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before the listing is accepted. The girl has been able to fight with Wu Wa'er for so long, and her identity and reputation have long been there, if she is willing to put down her body, she is afraid that the powerful and celebrities will not rush to her? You see that Wu Wa'er is charming and charming, she may not be a person in this way, even if she is in the Qinglou, what else is she talking about? If the girl is interested, Zhao can match you ......"
Liu Duo's delicate body trembled, a pair of pink fists were clenched tightly, and her nails pierced into her palms. Before Steward Zhao finished speaking, Liu Duoer had already snorted: "Get out!" ”
Steward Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Miss Liu Duoer, I persuaded you with good words, but you actually spoke ill of me!" ”
Liu Duoer's apricot eyes widened, and she shouted again: "Get out!" ”
Zhao Jixiang was annoyed and said angrily: "The Yangguan Road I pointed out to you, if you don't go, be good, your heart is higher than the sky, and your life is thinner than paper, so you can say that you are a person who doesn't know the times, so if you go on, you will either disperse this 'Ruxuefang', marry a high-ranking official and noble as a concubine, or become a prostitute on the pillow of the waiter, I, Zhao Jixiang, will look at it with wide eyes, and see what kind of fate you Liu Duoer girl is!" ”
Zhao Jixiang sneered, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and strode out of Liu Duoer's room.
Liu Duoer breathed rapidly, no longer had the strength to support her body, she barely supported a few cases, and two lines of tears slowly flowed. She was an orphan, and when she was in Quanzhou, she was accepted as a righteous daughter by Liu Ruxue, the owner of Ruxue Fang, and inherited her mother's inheritance when she grew up.
She has grown up in Ruxue Fang since she was a child, emotionally, Ruxue Fang is her home, and now this home is about to be dilapidated and scattered, she is a girl who has never left the yard to see the market, where is she going? Her heart was at a loss, full of fear and despair for the future.
"Duo'er......, this illness is in time, godmother...... It's no longer possible. The godmother handed you only this is like a snow workshop, you can make a living from it, from now on, everything ...... It's all up to you......"
Thinking of her godmother's last words, Liu Duoer burst into tears: "Godmother, what should my daughter do, now that everyone has betrayed her relatives and been forced to be forced, women ...... What should I do? ”
A pair of immature shoulders trembled, Liu Duoer helplessly supported the case and sobbed, at this moment, Miao Miao ran in in a hurry, and before the person entered the house, he shouted happily: "Miss, Miss, that Yang Hao sent it to the door by himself!" ”
