Chapter 131: Theater
Tingqing Courtyard is a green building, and it is also the most famous theater building in the capital.
Just because the proprietress of Tingqing Courtyard is the beautiful flower fairy Miao Song, to say that such a wonderful pine is not only beautiful, but also the eye-catching peach blossom makeup.
Pick it out, scorching it, and it is elegant and refined, like a fairy in the world.
Jiang Yuanliu was very familiar with Tingqing Courtyard, and before he entered the building, he pointed to the second floor and introduced Gu Jinshu: "I asked people to set up a stage there, and a new play will be arranged every day, and a play can be performed in seven days." β
Gu Jinshu's eyes were full of smiles, and now the rumors in the capital are not which minister marries his daughter? The son-in-law of which family visited the Qinglou and was caught by his wife, but the new drama in Tingqing Yuan was in full swing.
"I heard that the Tingqing Courtyard is full, even if the royal family and nobles come, they have to wait in line." Gu Jinshu said with a smile, he looked at Jiang Yuanliu without taking his eyes off.
Jiang Yuanliu's ears were slightly red, this Gu Jinshu had been staring at her without scruples since he confessed his heart to her that day, and his hot eyes made her feel extremely shy.
"It's all gimmicks, in the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare I confront those royal relatives and nobles, but in the end there are more ordinary people, and with such a gimmick, I can be famous in the capital."
Although Jiang Yuanliu doesn't understand modern marketing strategies, he has never seen a pig run or eaten pork? It is enough to copy a few things to make a name for herself in the capital, and more importantly, although she is not good at business, Miao Song is a genius in this area.
"You don't know, Miao Song is proficient in this, I am just a few words, she can be very thorough, and she can also draw inferences, and now the business of Tingqing Yuan is booming, but it is not my credit."
Speaking of Miao Song's talent for business, Jiang Yuanliu's eyes darkened, if it comes to business, who else can be more talented than Yuan Xiwen?
Gu Jinshu could see at a glance what Jiang Yuanliu was thinking, he stopped the little girl selling flowers at the door, took out a piece of broken silver from the money bag and handed it to the little girl, "I want all your flowers." β
The little girl with two pigtails on her head gave him a blank look, "Your silver is not enough to buy all my flowers, I see that you are good-looking, but I can sell you one." β
"You're just a wild flower on the side of the road, and you dare to open your mouth?" Gu Jinshu was stunned, although what he took out of the money bag was broken silver, it was enough to have two or three taels.
This amount of money is enough for a poor family of three to eat food for a month or two.
"Why am I talking so much, you bully people, I'm going to tell the boss!"
Gu Jinshu has been in the top position for a long time, his body is majestic, and he is very stunning when he lifts his face, the little girl cried out, and ran inside with the flower basket.
The little girl looks like she is only six or seven years old, Gu Jinshu has been respectful of women since she was a child, no matter how old the woman is, so she has no experience to coax a little girl at all, watching the little girl cry and run in, she was suddenly a little at a loss.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuanliu couldn't help but cover his lips and snickered, "Honghong is right, you are indeed too bullying, that flower is worth ten taels of silver!" β
"Ten taels of silver?"
Gu Jinshu frowned, ordinary wildflowers cost ten taels of silver? He is not the kind of little marquis who doesn't know the suffering of the world, although the Qingqi country is strong, but it has not yet reached the point where everyone is rich, and many poor people still can't eat.
Ten taels of silver is nothing in the eyes of high-ranking officials and nobles, but for poor families, it may be a year's ration money, and in some places slaves are bought and sold, and strong slaves are only ten taels of silver.
"Ahem, this Tingqing Courtyard is specially designed to receive those high-ranking officials, nobles, wealthy families, and wealthy businessmen, this flower can be used to reward actors, and nine flowers can be used as a roll call." Jiang Yuanliu covered his face.
This method really didn't come up with her, she just mentioned it, Miao Song thought of this method by inference, sending flowers is elegant and can also collect money, why not.
"I see, this Tingqing Courtyard is full of wonderful ideas." Only then did Gu Jinshu understand that he had indeed bullied other people's little girls just now, obviously a flower was worth ten taels of silver, but when he took out two or three taels of broken silver, he had to buy a basket......
Jiang Yuanliu leaned in Gu Jinshu's ear and said in a low voice, "Don't think that this flower is expensive, people who come here to watch the play are very rich, and some people may not come to see the play." β
In just two months, Tingqing Yuan has already made a name for itself, and there are high-ranking officials and nobles who come and go, and some wealthy businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to get acquainted with nobles in order to seek opportunities.
The place is elegant and interesting, and there are very quiet private rooms, and many people are willing to come here to talk about things.
"If Liu Er doesn't make a sound, it is already a blockbuster, if Liu Er is willing to devote himself to business, I am afraid that Qingqi Kingdom will produce a female Shen Sanheng!" Gu Jinshu said.
This Shen Sanheng is the brother of the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, and the wealth in the family is inexhaustible, and no one knows how much property Shen Sanheng has.
At that time, Shen Sanheng took out most of his family property to fund the emperor of the previous dynasty to rebel, and raised 100,000 male soldiers with his own strength, Shen Sanheng can be described as a god, and countless businessmen worship Shen Sanheng as a god.
It's just that Shen Sanheng's later fate was very miserable, the cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, and the emperor of the previous dynasty in order to cover up the fact that he rebelled and made a fortune, after sitting firmly in the court, the first thing was to take Shen Sanheng under the knife.
The amazing Shen Sanheng's family of 136 people all died under the knife of the emperor of the previous dynasty.
It is said that at the entrance of Xuanwu Street that day, there was blood all over the ground, the smell of blood, and it did not disperse for seven days, and flocks of crows circled on Xuanwu Street for more than a month, and everyone said that it was the Shen family's grudges that were monstrous, and they wanted to get a justice for the whole family of 136 people, and everyone in the capital was panicked.
The founding emperor also had nightmares, as soon as he fell asleep, he could dream that one hundred and thirty-six members of the Shen family asked for his life.
In the end, there was really no way, or the famous Xuanji personally practiced it, sending souls to the Shen family's practice, and the flocks of crows on Xuanwu Street dispersed.
"I can't compare with Shen Sanheng, whether it is business talent or strategy, it is a world of difference, I am just a little smart, Shen Sanheng is a real hero, if it were not for Shen Sanheng, it would be impossible to end the troubled times of the previous dynasty."
Jiang Yuanliu frowned, she had read the chronicles of the previous dynasty, although there may be the Spring and Autumn brushwork that smeared the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, but Shen Sanheng was really for the country and the people.
Shen Sanheng was not just a businessman who only knew how to make money, he also changed the tax law and the rules of doing business, and the high tax payment made the previous emperor see the usefulness of businessmen.
Nowadays, businessmen can have such a high status because of Shen Sanheng.
"Liu Er don't be presumptuous, that Shen Sanheng doesn't know how to judge the situation, but Liu Er knows the complexity of people's hearts and knows how to measure, then Shen Sanheng is not as good as you."
As soon as Gu Jinshu wanted to praise Jiang Yuanliu, he heard a light female voice, the breeze mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, and the gentle and light voice seemed to caress his ears.
"Myosong, isn't it the busiest time? How do you have time to come out? Jiang Yuanliu pulled Miao Song's finger in surprise.
Miao Song smiled slightly, calm and elegant, "I heard Honghong say that there was a beautiful sister at the door, so I knew it must be you, we haven't seen you for a long time, and when I heard that you were coming, I immediately put down what I was doing to greet you." β
"How long? But it's only been four or five days, and you see that you're so busy that you forget the time. Jiang Yuanliu looked at Miao Song's thin cheeks worriedly, "Look at it, you have lost weight, haven't you eaten the tonic I prescribed to you these days?" β
Jiang Yuanliu found that Miao Song thought that he was malnourished when he was a child, and he had been taking contraceptive pills when he grew up, which caused the foundation of his body to be damaged.
"I have a good drink, if I am so busy that I forget to spend the time later, Honghong will talk to me, saying that Honghong has been talking about where the boss has gone, and it seems that I didn't recognize you just now." Miao Song covered her lips and snickered.
Jiang Yuanliu said with a smile; "My makeup skills, not to mention Honghong, a six-year-old child, even you may not be able to recognize it!"
The fiery woman smiled triumphantly, confident and bright, and the beauty was dizzying and couldn't take her eyes off.
Gu Jinshu felt as if he was a superfluous person, since this Miao Song appeared, he had never been able to say a word to Jiang Yuanliu again, and he was completely excluded.
"This is Gu Xiaohou? Sure enough, it's a dignified one. Miao Song looked at Gu Jinshu with a faint look in his eyes, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
"That's right, we're here to watch a play today, I remember a new play today, right? Is it the drama of the domineering princess? Jiang Yuanliu said with a smile.
Miao Song nodded, "That's right, it's full today, if you want to see it, go to the fourth floor." β
Tingqing Courtyard has a total of four floors, the first floor is the hall, which is used to receive distinguished guests, and the second floor is the stage, which is divided into two, half of which is built with the stage, and the other half is the open seat.
The third floor is arranged as a private room with excellent sound insulation, and is divided into four parts, each of which has four rooms, all of which are used to receive distinguished guests.
Unlike the third floor, which is the best place to watch a play, the fourth floor is a hidden room, half of which is a place for the actors to rest, and the other half is a place for some people to meet and discuss important matters.
After all, if you want to promote cooperation in this kind of place, you need to find a relatively quiet place to talk in detail, and Jiang Yuanliu thought about these in great detail.
After the incident of Yuxiangfang, Jiang Yuanliu understood that if he wanted to protect himself in a place like the capital, he must have enough information network, otherwise he would fall into a trap sooner or later, and he would not even have the ability to protect himself, let alone protect others.
Jiang Yuanliu was extremely remorseful, if she hadn't been so naΓ―ve at the beginning, only thinking about making money and not developing her power, then Yuan Xiwen would not have died tragically.
Therefore, she not only wants to make Tingqing Courtyard a place for acting, but also wants to turn it into a coherent information network.
