Chapter 185: Why Bother?
Because of that nightmare, Zhu Youzhen couldn't give up all day!
The entire palace is shrouded in unknown shadows and fears!
Along the Jinjiang River in Sichuan, it is a different kind of admiration!
The sky has just brightened, and the Jinjiang River is already crowded with people, stretching for more than ten miles!
The painting boat of Tianyin Pavilion is lit up with lights, slowly driving from south to north, and the crowd of onlookers cheers!
On the side of the wharf, the warblers and swallows held the boat ladder down, cheers, cheers, banging and whistles, resounding in the sky!
Actually, it's not just Chengdu!
As long as it is the state and county where the Tianyin Pavilion painting boat passes, it will be sought after and watched by thousands of empty alleys!
No way, this is the "star"!
Qin Huaihe, Tianyin Pavilion, and Liu Ruyi's names are more influential than "Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Years Old" and "Long Live Lord"!
For many ordinary men, it is worth spending a few dozen taels of silver to take a look at the flower boat of Tianyin Pavilion from afar!
If you can appreciate Liu Ruye's demeanor up close and listen to her sing again, even if you die, you will have no regrets!
"Ma Ma, the big sisters who came down from the boat, their clothes are so beautiful!"
"Humph! Nothing remarkable! Mom can buy silkworms for you for a few more years! β
"Ma Ma, that big sister in the red shirt, what are you holding in your hand!"
"Isn't it just a pipa! Your father will be able to buy you another twenty years of hard labor! Not uncommon! β
"Pull it, when Yingzi grows up, I want my big sister's pipa too! I also want the same clothes as my big sister! β
"Fart! Good don't learn! Only a girl who has no father or mother will wear such clothes! β
"Woooooooooo......oo But...... Those big sisters' clothes really look good......"
Seeing his daughter crying with pear blossoms and rain, the man gritted his teeth and was about to persuade him, when he suddenly heard a burst of screams.
When I turned my head, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was slapped by his father with a stick!
"Shame or not? Is there a shame in it? β
The man was so tired that he was panting, and the stick in his hand was about to break, but his mouth still didn't stop: "That's a prostitute!" Whore!
You can only watch from a distance, not play with it!
Do you understand?
Dare to marry a prostitute and go home, Lao Tzu will break your legs! β
"Father! You can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour! β
The boy gritted his teeth, ignored the rain of sticks, and pointed to the dozen cruise ships behind: "Look at those rich children, how can they marry prostitutes?" β
The stubbornness of the boy further angered the man behind him!
The wooden stick smashed heavily on the boy's body and snapped!
"You unfilial brute! Do you want to be angry with me? The man was so angry and anxious that he could barely straighten his waist: "You said it yourself, those are the babies of rich families!"
When people marry prostitutes, they take concubines!
You'd love to marry a prostitute!
What is a wife and what is a concubine, do you understand?
You unfilial brute!
Dare to think again, Lao Tzu...... Lao Tzu jumped the Jinjiang River...... Father...... Lao Tzu really wants to jump ......"
"What about the prostitute?" Ignoring her father's opposition, and not caring about the eyes of others, the boy quibbled loudly:
"Cabisha, maiko, and rakeko are not rampant prostitutes, they are all ice and jade! What can't be married?
Besides, Bo Ji, the biological mother of Emperor Wen Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, was not also a prostitute?
Before she married Liu Bang, she was still Wei Bao's concubine! β
"You...... You...... How dare you quibble......"
The man was so anxious that he couldn't breathe, and kicked his son: "Lao Tzu has worked hard to do forced labor, and he is reluctant to eat and wear!"
Desperately squeezing out the money for you to read, what books have you read?
You're old, aren't you?
The wings are stiff, aren't they?
It can't be done, can it?
You...... You want to marry a prostitute, you go and marry it!
From now on, there will be no son like you......"
"Ah......h
"Plop ......"
"Someone! Help me! Someone has fallen into the water! β
In the noise, dozens of people jumped into the Jinjiang River, and the shore was in chaos!
The people of this era are really simple!
No one cares about the coldness of the river!
If you are close, as long as you can swim, you will all go into the water to save people!
Soon, with the help of everyone, the boy used his strength to breastfeed and finally pushed his father to the shore.
In the midst of trembling, another man on the shore twisted the male baby's collar: "I said virtuous nephew, your old son is not in good health, and you are deliberately angry with him, it is really unfilial!"
I see, you are really stupid to read!
In that case, let's go to Jiangli again to sober up!
When you figure it out, when will you come up again!
If you can't figure it out, never come up! β
As soon as the words fell, the man suddenly exerted his strength!
The boy who was so cold that his face was blue and shivering was really thrown into the river!
At this scene, the onlookers did not feel inappropriate!
Whether they know or don't know, they all point to the boy in the river and scold!
The news reached Wang Li's ears, and he was scorched by thunder!
"Factory father, there is really nothing wrong with it! As the old saying goes, if you marry a wife, you have to marry a virtuous man......"
"Really?"
Wang Li smiled indifferently and interrupted Song Zhe's words: "I think that little baby's words are not wrong!"
Courtesans, maikos, and leprostitutes are not rampant prostitutes, they are all ice and jade, how can you conclude that they are not "virtuous"? β
"No, I mean, Nawa's father is not wrong! Even if you fall in love with a certain prostitute, if your financial resources allow, you can take her as a concubine!
Why did you have to marry her?
Who would dare to marry a prostitute, let alone his parents, even his entire clan would be disgraced by it! β
"Uh...... Well, you're right, that's right! β
Wang Li was too lazy to argue with Song Zhe, picked up the "schedule" sent by Zhao Qian, looked at it casually and put it down.
Alas, this Zhao Qian, why fight so hard?
From the departure by boat two months ago to the 25th of the following month, every day is full of schedules!
Perhaps, this is the general consensus of the current society!
From beginning to end, Zhao Qian has always regarded herself as a "concubine", and has never had the "idea of being a wife"!
She became the old bustard of Tianyin Pavilion, and the silver she earned for herself every month was seventy or eighty, if not million!
She worked day and night, for several years, just in exchange for her own recognition - don't drive her away!
Why bother?
In the past few years, even if he is the maid around him, Wang Li has never taken the initiative to drive people away!
Of course, they are almost never lazy, never make mistakes, and don't need to be replaced!
In this era, both men and women distinguish "wives" and "concubines" very clearly!
At the same time, it also distinguishes "ε«‘", "εΊΆ", "elder" and "young" very clearly!
The son of a wife is a son-in-law;
The concubine is a concubine;
Even if the son-in-law is cerebral palsy, even if the son of the concubine is an elite, the family business can only be inherited by the son-in-law!
Is this necessary?
Is this really reasonable?
The succession to the throne or title is inherently unevenly distributed, and it is really necessary!
The inheritance system of the eldest son, to a large extent, can prevent many sons from killing each other and competing with each other!
But is it really hard to prevent?
For example, more than 200 years ago, Zhu Di, who robbed his nephew of the throne!
At least, the name is not right!
Although it can't be safely prevented, there are a lot of powers and interests within the royal clan!
In this case, the inheritance system of the eldest son is really necessary!
But is it necessary for ordinary people?
With four walls and a few acres of thin fields, there is a need for a fart!
Huh!
The "son-in-law" may not be able to support him, where does the "concubine" come from?
What about ordinary people marrying a prostitute?
As long as you are not a rampant prostitute, you should steal the fun!
Isn't it?
The courtesans, maikos, music prostitutes or calligraphy and painting geisha in the Qinglou, although they show their heads, they are all pigtails, and they are ice and jade!
Moreover, everyone can make money!
Wang Li always felt that this kind of prostitute was an artist!
The status is very low, but he eats with his own skills and talents!
Nothing to be ashamed of!
If you are a common person, you can marry a geisha like Liu Ruyi, and you will wake up laughing when you fall asleep!
If you take dozens of geisha as concubines, and let them earn money to support themselves, you won't be too happy!
People in this era don't know how good geisha is, and mistake a good family for a treasure!
The foolish man by the river, in order to force his son to give up the idea of marrying a prostitute, did not hesitate to force him to die!
Why bother?
However, his family property should be more than 300 million!
Eating soft rice is good, but you don't need it!
Belch......
If you make a profit for another three or five years, you should be able to catch up with the net worth of the gentry!
So, who will be his "eldest son" in the future?
After a hundred years, who will inherit the family business?
What's this......
Anyway, the future wife must be the lovely Princess Changping!
The sons of the rest of the concubines, this, can't favor one over the other!
Alas!
It doesn't matter if he is a son-in-law or a concubine, he is treated equally!
We don't care about other people's affairs!
No one else has the power to manage our family's affairs!
"Factory ......"
Zhao Qian sent a bowl of ginseng tea, and then handed over a thick account book, and stopped talking.
Song Zhe was very knowledgeable, found an excuse to leave quietly, and took the door with him.
Wang Li grabbed the ledger and threw it aside.
Then, he took Zhao Qian into his arms.
"Don't work too hard!
Look at you, you have dark circles at a young age!
If you continue like this, your dark circles will be worse than the giant pandas in the backyard! β
"It is a blessing for a concubine to be taken in by the factory father! Being able to do things for the factory is a blessing for the concubine!
What the concubine wants, I hope that the factory will abide by the original promise and never give up! β
"Oh, why are you saying such stupid things again? Change the schedule in Chengdu quickly!
It's a big New Year, so why don't you rest for a few days!
I'm going to be so tired, I'm going to feel bad! β
"A month ago, the detailed schedule was sent to all the stopovers, and all the preparations are already underway!
If you want to change it, it's really a trigger that moves the whole body! β
"Heck, even if you can't change your schedule, you don't need to do many small things yourself!
I heard that Lin Xueer and Xu Caifeng have been trained well by you, and they can already stand alone!
Look at Ruyan, she leaves things to the people below to do, and she is at ease, what's wrong?
Now that Lin Xue'er has come to Chengdu, you have to rest for a few days if you say anything!
The tour of more than a dozen surrounding states and counties let her be fully responsible! β
Wang Li's attitude was resolute, and he persuaded again and again, but Zhao Qian couldn't help it, so he had to agree: "Since this is the case, the concubine will arrange it first!" β
After taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and turned back: "Factory father, Liu Ru wants to see you!"
This time, it was she who took the initiative, and the concubine did not force her!
Or...... It's scheduled for tonight! β
"Well, it's time to meet her! It's necessary! β
Indeed, at this moment, it is necessary to talk to her!
Because, two years ago, Liu Ru was already famous in Qin Huai!
The merry genius who came here almost broke through the threshold of Tianyin Pavilion!
Among them, there are some suitors with prominent family backgrounds!
At that time, Liu Rushi was not yet fifteen years old!
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, when Wang Li passed through Nandu, Zhao Qian even coaxed and deceived her to make her agree to the "combing" that night!
However, the "combing" of prostitutes, especially the combing of the top brand or the oiran, is first and foremost a mutual affection!
Then, there is also a cumbersome and public ceremony, no less than the wedding process in the market!
At that time, Zhao Qian did not prepare these!
Wang Li's identity is special, and it is impossible to have such a process!
In order to make Liu Ru nod in agreement, in order to make her willing, Zhao Qian boldly told her many things!
Including, the source of dozens of popular songs in Tianyin Pavilion, Wang Li's special identity, Wang Li's power and financial resources, and so on.
In the absence of a grand combing ceremony, anyway, Liu Ru did agree!
It's just that that night, Wang Li didn't go!
After that, Wang Li has been in Sichuan and never mentioned this matter again!
But, Tianyin Pavilion is a green building after all!
Even though there is a West Factory behind him, he can't break the rules of Qinhuai River!
With the passage of time, Liu Ru became more and more slim, and came into contact with more and more romantic talents!
At the same time, her personality is becoming more and more independent, with her own unique interests, preferences and aesthetics!
Therefore, Zhao Qian became more and more worried!
Although she is an old bustard, she can use the power of Xichang to keep countless suitors out, but she can't control Liu Ruyi's heart!
Wang Li's pursuit and admiration for Liu Ruye, as well as his pursuit and love for the other seven women, Zhao Qian knows very well!
In her opinion, if she didn't "take care" of Liu Rushi, if she disappointed Wang Li, her good days would come to an end!
