Chapter 145: Playing Mandarin Ducks
Although it was dark, the town of Suokouhe became more and more lively, like a grand festival, with lights everywhere and noisy.
Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan, Li Zhenli, Li Xiangjun, Mei Qing and the four sons of the Fushe plus Li Chunjiang, Liu Jun, Mei Lian, Liu Yunsheng, and Fu Shan sat at a large table, and there were more than a dozen people sitting at this table, which was a little crowded, but everyone was young people, and they sat together and talked more.
A group of people admired each other and had a good conversation. There are a few beauties on the Qinhuai River who are good at creating an atmosphere, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more lively. Especially among Li Zhenli, the husband of the bold female middle school, this is even more so. However, Chen Yuanyuan never spoke, and her eyes looked at Liu Jun who was sitting opposite her from time to time.
At this time, Dong Xiaowan, who was sitting next to her, had already seen all this in her eyes.
"What do you think of this Liu Jiye?" She asked.
"I heard that the prince of Chunjiang said that he was so brave and able to fight, and I thought he was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a steel beard on his face, but he didn't expect it to be like this, but he looked like a handsome boy, and he spoke with a lot of temperament." Chen Yuanyuan replied, it is really hard to imagine that Liu Jiye, who just led hundreds of villagers but annihilated thousands of bandits, actually looked like this. "You see, even if he talks with the fourth son, he is not weaker at all."
"This is a good home for you." Dong Xiaowan chuckled and said, "Look, he also looked back at you several times, with a smile every time, it seems that he also likes you too." Men are talented, women are good-looking, falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is affectionate, you are really a good match. She saw that the two of them were also a little interesting, so she tried her best to frustrate.
After Chen Yuanyuan left Jiangyin, he didn't want to return to Liyuan to sing opera, so he went to Jiangling to join his family, and then met Dong Xiaowan by chance, and immediately became a good sister. Dong Xiaowan likes Chen Yuanyuan very much, and sincerely hopes that she can find a good home. After all, whether it is a drama or a show on the Qinhuai River. They all eat youth rice, and they still have to marry as concubines in the end.
Now Yuanyuan is still free, without restraints.
"I inquired just now, Liu Jiye has an engaged fiancée, Miss Lu, who is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Macheng, and they will get married next month. The Miss Lu family once had a private engagement with Liu Jun for life, and almost eloped, and there was a lawsuit in the middle, which made Liu Jun go away for two years, and this year the Lu family was going to marry Miss Lu to the Zhou family in this county. As a result, Liu Jun came to the door to rob his relatives, and then Miss Lu directly jumped over the wall and eloped with Liu Jun, and finally the Lu family agreed to their marriage, which was really as exciting as listening to the play, but I didn't expect this Liu Jun to be such a loving person. When Dong Xiaowan said this, some eyebrows fluttered, it was really this kind of story of private life, snatching relatives, and elopement, which is simply too attractive for women.
"Ahh He already has a fiancée. Chen Yuanyuan said, suddenly feeling a little lost in his heart.
"Ahh It's satisfying to be able to make a side room. Dong Xiaowan persuaded that even the most popular girl on the Qinhuai River is self-aware and will not ask to marry as a main room. Unless they go and marry an ordinary person.
But they have seen so many men, which one is willing to marry an ordinary man.
Chen Yuanyuan also laughed at herself, she once liked Zou Shu in Wujiang. Zou Shu also has affection for her, once she fantasized about marrying Zou Shu, and often acted in the wrinkle house to stay. But in the end, the Zou family still couldn't accept her, and that time was also when she really faced her status.
"But since Liu Jun is so affectionate with this Miss Lu family, I'm afraid I can't tolerate her."
"Sister, you don't know, men, they all love romance, who doesn't want three wives and four concubines."
"I'm afraid that the eldest woman will be intolerable." Chen Yuanyuan said again, he was in Jiangyin Gong's house, and he was driven out because the eldest woman was unbearable.
Dong Xiaowan covered her mouth and chuckled, she could already see that when Chen Yuanyuan said this, she was actually really a little tempted. In any way, Liu Jun is indeed a very good man. If this marriage can really be achieved, it will also be a beautiful thing.
"Don't worry, in fact, whether a woman is jealous or not, whether she can tolerate people or not depends mainly on men. Liu Jun is so heroic, he will definitely be able to appease the eldest woman. But sister, it's not easy to meet a good man, don't hesitate when you see it, be brave and take the initiative, we are not a famous lady, we can only sit in the boudoir and wait, we have to take the initiative ourselves. ”
"Thank you sister for reminding me, then my sister will still call me Yuan'er." Chen Yuanyuan said.
Chen Yuanyuan's real name is Xing Yuan, but because he was later raised by his uncle, he followed his uncle's surname Chen. After being sold into the pear orchard, he took the stage name Yuanyuan. Now that Chen Yuanyuan plans to be good, he naturally doesn't want to have his former stage name anymore, and plans to return to his real name.
"Okay, I'll call you Sister Yuan'er in the future."
Dong Xiaowan's laughter attracted the attention of the people on the side, "Xiaowan is so happy to laugh, what a good thing, let's listen to it." ”
"Tell everyone that Yuanyuan will restore his real name in the future, and from then on, everyone has to call him Miss Xing, or Miss Yuan'er, and he is not allowed to call Yuanyuan anymore. Well, maybe after a while, Yuan Yuan will find a good match, let's have a drink for her together. ”
A group of young people celebrated Chen Yuanyuan. Changing back to his real name and giving up his stage name, the meaning of this is naturally very clear, Chen Yuanyuan seems to have decided not to return to his old business.
Mao Xiang was even more curious, "Does Yuan Yuan already have someone he likes, let's listen to it and let everyone help you with your staff?" Mao Xiang was actually a little surprised when he saw Chen Yuanyuan at Xiaowan's place, he was also an amorous person, before he met Dong Xiaowan, he had actually ransomed two red girls from the Qinhuai River to go home as concubines, and when he saw Chen Yuanyuan, he seemed to have a good intention, and he also felt a little lost.
Yuan Yuan and Yuanyuan, it sounds about the same, Liu Jun thought, but he didn't expect that Chen Yuanyuan and him had just met, and they were already interested in him. He was thinking, if Chen Yuanyuan became Xing Yuan, would he not be angry and angry in the future. At this time, Chen Yuanyuan had not yet met several men such as Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng, who were very important to him in history.
In fact, not only Liu Jun didn't expect it, but few people here thought of Chen Yuanyuan's mind at this time. After a few words of congratulations, everyone moved on to other things.
While speaking, Li Chunjiang and the fourth prince proposed to invite Liu Jun, Liu Yunzhen, and Fu Shan to join the Fushe.
Founded in Chongzhen for five years, it was formed by Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai, who were born in Taicang and a number of literary societies in Jiangnan. The Fusha Society was nominally "to revitalize the study of the past and to make those who are not from the other world useful," but in fact it was to inherit the Donglin Party's idea of opening up the way of speech and reforming politics. Many of the backbone members of the Restoration Society were the children of the Donglin Party, and they echoed each other with the Donglin Party members, creating great political power in the Jiangnan area.
Especially now, the strength of the Restoration Society has become more and more inflated, and they are no longer satisfied with just commenting on current affairs with their friends, and they have begun to participate in major affairs of the court.
Today's resumption of the society can be said to have a strong color of righteousness, with Donglin succeeding himself, called Xiao Donglin, advocating "rent, abolition, withdrawal of envoys, and stopping internal exercises" The members of the resumption of the society are all over the provinces, and the party members are all over the world.
The fame of Pu has reached its peak, and there are more than 7,000 disciples under him, all of whom are scholars, and now people no longer even dare to call him and another leader, Zhang Cai, by name, but instead call him Xizhang, Nanzhang, or Mr. Xizhang and Mr. Nanzhang.
Matching it, Zhang Pu's four presidents of Taicang are called "four matches", Zhang Pu's ten disciples are "ten philosophers", and Zhang Pu's ten brothers are "ten permanent servants". In addition, five people who relied on Zhang Pu's disciples to provide funds for the activities of the Restoration Society to raise funds were called "five dogs" -- Zhang Pu became a real helper, godfather, and uncrowned king.
The organization of the Restoration Society has become more and more rigorous, and they have set up a person in charge of each county in the south of the Yangtze River to be responsible for developing new members of the Restoration Society and promoting the purpose of the Restoration Society. In Macheng County, there are many members of the Restoration Society, such as Li Chunjiang, Mei Lian and many other scholars who are the children of high-ranking officials and big families are members of the Restoration Society.
And Li Chunjiang is even the person in charge of Macheng County.
Hearing that the Restoration Society was going to recruit himself into the Society, Liu Jun was still very surprised and surprised. Because as far as he knew, although the Fushe Society has developed into a prototype of the modern Orthodox Party, it is still a scholarly organization, and their members are basically scholars, mainly scholars in the Jiangnan area.
There are already more than 10,000 members of the Restoration Society, especially the talents of Jiangnan.
Although Liu Jun is also a student, he is a martial artist.
Although he has a good relationship with Li Chunjiang, he believes that it is definitely not Li Chunjiang's own idea to recruit him into the company, and even if he has this idea, he must have the consent of others.
So why did you invite him to join the club?
Liu Jun remembered something, a very confidential thing. It was Shen Man who told him, and Shen Man learned it from Chu Chuna in the Red Sleeve Workshop, and the source was inadvertently revealed by one of Chu Chu's benefactors. It is said that now the Fushe is seeking to expand its influence, while they are strengthening their infiltration and influence on the imperial examination, and on the other hand, they are still planning a major event.
The major event planned by the Fushe Society is to prepare to overthrow the current first assistant Xue Guoguan, and then support Zhou Yanru to reinstate and re-enter the cabinet. I have to say that this is indeed a big event, and even a big event that makes people feel a little unbelievable after listening to it. At that time, Liu Jun only thought that it was a guest who was drunk and talking nonsense, but combined with the fact that the Restoration Society invited him to join the society, he vaguely felt that he was afraid that it was true.
Since they dare to plot to overthrow the current first assistant, and then support the former cabinet chief assistant Zhou Yanru to come to power, the ambition is not ordinarily big. Dare to do such a big thing, what else dare not do.
Liu Jun himself guessed that they wanted to invite him to join the Restoration Society, but they were afraid that not only because he was now Liu Qiao's nephew, but also because of Liu Qiao, it would be enough to pull Liu Yunzhen alone. They pulled themselves into the club, but I am afraid that it is still related to the nine-headed bird he mastered.
Perhaps the Restoration Society is not only planning to put its hand into the cabinet, but even into the army. (To be continued......)
