Chapter 44: He, O Condescending
At night, the lanterns and candles shine brightly and brilliantly, and the houses that are a little farther away are reflected as if it were day.
There are also hundreds of prostitutes with heavy makeup and thin rings, gathered under the eaves of the main building.
They waited for the greetings of drinkers and passers-by, exhaling into a fragrant mist, waving like colorful clouds, warblers and swallows.
People can't help but touch the silver taels in their pockets, and just want to talk about a big business between two or more people.
Rong Qingshu originally wanted to make Huancai Pavilion the second king of Longyin City, but he couldn't do it.
The Pavilion has been expanded several times to add a variety of places to play, but it has always been inferior to its competitors in terms of size and popularity.
Especially the earth buns who came to Longyin City for the first time, almost only knew about Wang Xie Fengyue Tower.
Unless you are tired of playing there, or the money in your pocket is scattered, you will come to Huancai Pavilion to take a look.
The upper class in Longyin City regarded Wang Xie Fengyue Tower as the first choice for showing grandeur and feasting guests.
A place where there are often more than three grades of people haunting, it will naturally make people flock to it.
Wang Xie Fengyuelou knows how to do what he likes these guests, and from time to time there are some romantic stories that people talk about.
Just last year, the three talented Lou Zangyue, Xin Wuji, and Huo Jian were fighting poems in Wang Xie Fengyue Building, in order to win the favor of Miss Nalan Hehe, the three of them were full of talent, and good sentences were frequent.
The little guy who recorded next to him actually wrote that his hands trembled and it was difficult to hold the pen, so that the heroic man who originally only drank on the second floor, Li Bai Suxin, a master of eight products, also joined him.
While drinking a lot, he waved his pen and wrote a book, drank a bucket of wine, and wrote a hundred poems!
The news of such elegant things has made Miss Nalan Hehe a success, and it has also added icing on the cake to Wang Xiefengyuelou.
Anyone who admires the three talents and the heroic Li Bai Suxin will come here to pay their respects.
Some people even feel that if they can be received by Miss Naranhehe, they will be like those three talents, and they will not hesitate to spend a lot of money on this.
Rong Qingshu can be said to be jealous and hateful.
He still remembers that night, the talented and heroic man in the Wang Xie Fengyue Building was boundless, and what happened in the Huancai Pavilion was that there was a prostitute who disliked the girl's armpit smell and fought with the girl.
In the end, both of them rolled down from the upper floors and fell into the swill buckets of the street soldiers, and the stench was so bad that the guests left one after another, and the smell dissipated in three days.
Fortunately, Rong Qingshu no longer counted on Huancai Pavilion, he stood on the top of the building and looked at Cishu Xianfang on the side ambitiously.
In the near future, the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, which is the most ecstatic and heartbreaking in Longyin City, is no longer Wang Xiefengyue Tower, but Cishu Xianfang.
Rong Qingshu turned around, and in the rows of small pavilions behind him, there was a faint smell of smoke overflowing.
That's where his confidence lies.
Rong Qingshu invited them to try red poppy paste in a small area, and at the same time, prostitutes accompanied them to the bliss.
Afterwards, I felt that the fairyland of the world was in the Huancai Pavilion, and since then, I have never thought about it, and I will never remove the place outside the Huancai Pavilion.
Cishu Xianfang has arranged more small pavilions, some of which provide luxury suites for exclusive guests, as well as shops for two, three, and four people shared by relatives and friends, and even scattered halls.
What is a little troublesome is that the imperial court has not relaxed the control of red poppy paste, so after the opening of Cishu Xianfang, it can only continue the model of Huancai Pavilion for a long time.
For Rong Qingshu, this is only a matter of time, and what really restricts the future profit scale of Cishu Xianfang is the transportation route of red poppy paste.
Langya Wangfu is speechless in the court, but outside the court and above the rivers and lakes, it has an influence that is difficult for the Rong family to achieve.
However, whether it is at sea, in the mountains and wilderness, in the long-distance transportation, all kinds of risks encountered are all committed by the rivers and lakes.
They came in droves, and when they succeeded, they fled in all directions, and the officials of the government could not do anything about them.
The chariot and horse flags of the Langya Palace, along the way, are guarded by the Kyushu Mansion in the open and secretly in various parts of Xinqin, which can deter Xiaoxiao.
"What about Zhang Daiqing?" Rong Qingshu pushed open the nearest small pavilion, smelling the strong smell of smoke inside, and couldn't help frowning.
He never touched it himself, lest he end up being inhuman, ghostly.
Cui Yuangui and Song Ludao were each holding a prostitute, up and down their hands, their strength after sucking the red poppy paste had dissipated, although their eyes were still a little open, and their vision was foggy, but at least they were still awake.
"He...... A few days ago, I was passing by on the street, and the little lady who pushed the window upstairs smashed the window pole on his head, and was looking for someone to lose money. Cui Yuangui couldn't help laughing, seeing that the prostitute in his arms was as soft as cotton, he couldn't help but hug it hard.
But it made the prostitute feel pain all over her body, and she did not dare to make a sound, so she had to endure it patiently, and squeezed out some smiles, so as not to provoke the demon to go crazy.
"He has taken a fancy to the little lady, and if the little lady doesn't obey, he is going to let her be a widow first." Song Ludao sneered, it was purely a superfluous move, wouldn't it be good to be taken captive and play for a few days? After playing, throw it back, for fear of trouble, just put it in the pig cage and sink it to the bottom of the Nanhuai River.
"You find some more people, I'm afraid that Cishu Xianfang will be too lively when it opens, and it will be easy to have accidents when there are many people." Rong Qingshu didn't bother to care about them, as long as they didn't spoil his business.
Rong Qingshu actually looked down on Cui Yuangui and the others, they were somewhat unpopular in his eyes, but he knew very well that there must be such a person around him as a dog.
First, they have a certain amount of power, and if they encounter some troubles, they can be directly handed over to them to deal with, without Rong Qingshu using their own connections and resources.
Second, they are not domestic slaves after all, once they cause a big incident, as long as they are put aside in time, it will be difficult for others to implicate him.
"There are enough manpower, the problem now is ......" Cui Yuangui glanced at Rong Qingshu cautiously, "There will be no one from the Kyushu Mansion." ”
A business with a background like Rong Qingshu is not afraid of causing trouble on the street, but those people in the rivers and lakes may not be able to sell face.
Once provoked, these people take advantage of the dark night and high wind, and come and go without a trace, and they don't know how they will retaliate.
Invite the people who come to Kyushu Mansion and let them know that this is the place where Kyushu Mansion takes care of them, and these Jianghu people will be much more restrained, at least they will not come to deliberately rip off the bamboo.
"Maggots in the snow and the pretty ...... in the village They don't plan to come either. Song Ludao laughed, then waved his hand and motioned for the two prostitutes to go out.
The two prostitutes breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly grabbed their skirts and ran timidly by the door.
Rong Qingshu's face was already a little unsightly.
He knew very well that this was because he had not thought it through...... When Qin Shou'an was impeached, how could Rong Qingshu have people under the Kyushu Mansion in his eyes, as well as people from the rivers and lakes such as maggots in the snow and the beautiful people in the village?
As a result, it was useless for him to impeach Qin Shou'an, the Queen Mother did not make the slightest movement, but His Majesty did have a movement, and directly gave the two counselors a kick.
This kick didn't kick Rong Qingshu, but it was almost like kicking him in the face.
Ordinary people don't think that the Rong family's face is not good, but they have also figured out that the Langya Mansion is really a saint.
Then Qin Shou'an's continued control of the Kyushu Mansion is a sure thing.
The people of Kyushu Mansion, as well as the thieves such as "maggots in the snow" and "village pretty" who have just been investigated by Kyushu Prefecture, dare to give Rong Qingshu a platform?
Didn't you take Qin Shou'an in your eyes!
Rong Qingshu has his back to the Rong family, takes root in Longyin City, and does not have much contact with the people in the rivers and lakes, so he is not worried about how the Langya Mansion will retaliate, but in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, the Langya Mansion is equivalent to the court in the rivers and lakes, and life and death are taken away.
"The villain who sees the wind and rudders!" Rong Qingshu sneered, "When they find out that Cishu Xianfang's business relies on the luck of the Langya Palace, I don't know what kind of dog face it will be!" ”
"It's a pity that Tang Zhong died, otherwise he would be better than these people if he showed up." Song Ludao said regretfully.
This Tang Zhong didn't know what stupidity he had committed, and the little prince was really fierce and cruel, which made Song Ludao feel a little surrendered.
"Or ...... Looking for Ming Shiyin and Wei Liangzai? Cui Yuangui slapped his thigh suddenly, remembering Wei Liangzai who came to Huancai Pavilion again today.
"Yes, yes. In the last poetry meeting, I picked more than 20 girls from the Huancai Pavilion and sent them over, and Ming Shiyin hugged me left and right, and chatted with me for a few words. ”
Song Ludao shook his head, came to his senses completely, and asked Rong Qingshu, "I'll go and see if they have come to Huancai Pavilion today?" ”
"Go ahead."
After a while, Song Ludao turned around and gave Rong Qingshu a positive answer.
Rong Qingshu suddenly felt a big set.
As he expected, Qin Shouan still understood the meaning of Rong Qingshu's conveyance of the past.
Whether the business can continue and how to continue is still up for debate, but Qin Shouan really has no intention of making enemies with Rong Qingshu.
Otherwise, how could Ming Shiyin not shy away from contacting Song Ludao, and how could Wei Liangzai linger in Huancai Pavilion without incident?
The people of Kyushu Mansion, as well as those gangsters, their vision level is too low after all, and at the level of themselves and the prince, how can they have any position of being either friend or foe, and having clear grievances?
As long as the interests are big enough, even the feud can be put aside temporarily, not to mention that he just asked people to participate in Qin Shou'an's book, and Qin Shou'an did not cause any damage.
