Mao Geng reflected on it and felt that from the perspective of others, his behavior since the court was indeed too out of line, and it was easy to become the target of public criticism.
I have no foundation in the court, and what I did before is really reckless, and I am still young and frivolous! Things in the world are like this, the more you do, the more you make mistakes, as long as you do things, everyone will make mistakes, and people will always catch the flaws. And their biggest shortcoming is that the roots are not right and the seedlings are not red, so a slight mistake will harm itself. It seems that the top priority is to modify the current mode, change the Wild Soar mode to the control mode, or even overkill, and it is necessary to temporarily change to the snail mode.
If you want to reach it, history has repeatedly verified this wise saying, in history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the leaders of later generations have paid similar expensive tuition, and the punishment for blindly rushing in is not enough to serve as a lesson from the past! So, I'm really a little carried away. Just imagine, he is just a grassroots figure, but when he first arrived in Lin'an at a young age, he wanted to pretend to be B in the Great Song Dynasty, and he also blatantly gambled with the officials, which is simply an act of death. Unfortunately, I was smug and thought that the response was impeccable, and now that I think about it, how shallow it was before!
Of course, it's not too late to make amends. There are still a lot of things I need to learn, such as how to follow the customs of the locals, to be a person who conforms to the tastes of the Great Song Dynasty, and a person who does not detach from the masses, which is the important task at the moment. A great man once said that it is very dangerous to detach from the masses. His behavior in the past month can be called the style of a career madman, and those who have a daughter and are not good at women, there are only Sima Guang and Wang Anshi in the Great Song Dynasty, but the last person is a virtue, and it is too strange to be young and rich like himself but not ask about women. In fact, it is just that his concept has not kept up with the times, and only by integrating into the mainstream life of the Great Song Dynasty can he be in harmony with the Great Song Dynasty and his family.
The next day, Mao Geng was going to take a look at the women's talent market in the Great Song Dynasty, and then hire a few flower-like women with high salaries, so that his life could be in line with the life of the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty.
But Mao Geng is too unfamiliar with this kind of business, and Wen Yuan categorically can't talk about professionalism, so the two haven't gone out for a long time. At this moment, Han Yanzhou's housekeeper came to the door and sent two beautiful and delicious twenty-eight beauties. Mao Geng said in his heart, Han Yanxuan really thinks about what he thinks, and he is anxious about what he is anxious about! But of course, Mao Geng also has to prevaricate:
"How does this make! Xiao Ke categorically didn't dare to be it, and asked Mr. to take it back. ”
The housekeeper surnamed Yu smiled modestly and said:
"My family said, the two sons Yushu Linfeng, talented, but when they first arrived in Lin'an, life was too hard, and my family did not take good care of them before, which is a pity. But it's not too late to think about it now, so I specially sent two maids, and I hope that Mao Gongzi will not dislike it! If you don't accept gifts from the Han family, my family's face will not look good. ”
When it comes to this, of course, Mao Geng refuses, this Han Yanxuan's move is obviously a contrarian operation, and he wants the city to be kind to himself, but it really makes people feel hot.
Mao Geng had no choice but to say:
"In this way, thank you Lord Han for your kindness."
The housekeeper still had a modest tone:
"Well said! Say! If Mr. Mao has any difficulties, just tell the old servant that the old servant has been walking in the Han family for so many years, and he can still help Mr. Mao do some small things. ”
Sending away the housekeeper, Mao Geng said to Wen Yuan:
"Look! In the eyes of others, we have less female dependents here, which is bitterness. ”
Wen Yuan smiled bitterly:
Han Wu had mentioned this matter before, saying that Brother Geng only cared about making money, but he didn't know how to enjoy it. In this way, it seems a bit pretentious. ”
Mao Gengxin said that we were a little too much like a Puritans some time ago, which seemed incompatible with the mainstream life of the Great Song Dynasty, and our tastes really needed to be changed, so he said:
"I think it's better to let Cai Jianwen help, buy some singers, and raise a singing and dancing team in the house, I don't know if 5,000 is enough? You go and ask Cai Gongzi, he should be deeply versed in the market. Gifts are still exchanged, even if we don't go to Xichun Tower to offer ugliness, as long as we teach that Shen Xing, it can be regarded as achieving Cai Gongzi's wish! Cai Gongzi, we can cooperate further in the future anyway, so you can ask him to help us with this. ”
In fact, the purchase and sale of human beings in the Great Song Dynasty is not advocated in principle, but there are policies and countermeasures, and there are various means to circumvent the law. Mao Geng doesn't know the Tao here, but he believes that people like Cai Gongzi will be much more professional.
"Okay!" , Wen Yuan happily went.
Mao Geng didn't bother to deal with business today, just went to the construction site of the model building to take a turn, the model building is nearing the end, just waiting for the glass to arrive, or it will be completed in two days. Counting the days, it has been a month and five days since I arrived in Lin'an. It stands to reason that the one-meter-square glass should be shipped out of Xinhua twenty days ago, which was arranged when he left Xinhua, and the inverting, annealing, and polishing of this large-size glass is said to be enough for one month. If nothing goes wrong, the glass will be received in two or three days, and in five or six days, the model building will be completed. However, judging from the busy business of Huaxi Construction Company, the model building is not in a hurry to come out, because the business of Huaxi Construction Company is busy enough, and Mao Geng now intends to suppress his limelight, so he does not rush the construction period, slow down, even if it is finely worked, in addition, it is good to let the concrete solidify more fully.
Back home, Mao Geng invited two new maids to talk, Mao Geng wanted to know about the talents of these two people, and the women from the Han Mansion had to have some talent.
One of the two daughters is named Xiao An'an, and the other is You Panpan. Mao Geng made a slight comparison, and felt that Xiao An'an had a delicate face, and You Panpan's figure was a stunner, which can be said to have their own merits. Xiao An'an is good at singing, especially looking forward to dancing, and he is also good at talent. Mao Geng said in his heart, it really deserves to be from the Han Mansion!
Mao Geng is enjoying the ** life of a beautiful woman singing and dancing slowly, and he came to report on Friday, saying that Yu Xiao'er of Sanyuanlou came to visit.
Sanyuanlou and Xichun Lou are both famous festivals in Lin'an, Mao Geng naturally knows, is it because the Oiran hears the strings and knows the elegance, and he automatically comes to the door, and he also wants to join in his own fun!
Well, please come in.
That Yu Xiao'er walked into the hall one by one, and was blessed:
"Yu Xiao'er of the slave family has seen Mao Gongzi!"
There were also two maids who came with Yu Xiao'er, one of whom also carried a guqin. Seeing this scene, Mao Geng asked with a smile:
"What are you doing here?"
Yu Xiao'er smiled and said:
"The slave family heard that Mao Gongzi and Wen Gongzi created strange songs, and the slave family has admired them for a long time.
Mao Geng knew that his cultivation in music was limited, so he humbly said:
"Yu Xing is polite! I'm afraid that I won't be able to point out Yu Xing, and I'm going to disappoint Yu Xing! ”
Yu Xiao'er beckoned, took the piano from the maid's hand, and said:
"Mao Gongzi is too humble! The slave family heard that the official family was very appreciative of the music created by Mao Gongzi. The slave family listened to a few words of the tune of "Poppy Beauty" from others, and realized that he wanted to borrow Mao Gongzi's treasure to play and sing once, and ask Mao Gongzi for some guidance, okay? ”
Speaking of the word "okay", her demeanor was indescribably coquettish, and she saw that as soon as she turned around, a trace of flattery inadvertently hit her in the air, which made Mao Geng drunk. Yu Xiao'er struck while the iron was hot and said:
"If the son points to the slave family, the slave family will naturally repay him."
Although Mao Geng can feel Yu Xiao'er's usual charm, but her style is not what she likes, at this moment Mao Gengqiang pressed his heart and said tactfully:
"Yu Xing, I still have to go to an appointment with a great Song Dynasty minister today, so let's listen to Yu Xing's playing and singing another day. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, anyway, there is no rush at this time. When we have gathered together Mr. Wen, it will not be too late to enjoy Yu Xing's passionate performance together. ”。
