Chapter 32 Qingxu Building
I went to the Shilang Mansion first and asked the third prince in Qingxu Building.
Shi Zi passed the word from there, and the rich merchant also went.
It's amazing that these powerful people are just different from ordinary people, and maybe they have all shook hands and made peace in the past.
Passing by the vendors who sell calligraphy and paintings, they sell the portraits of some artists in the Qing Xu Building, and the stall is not far from the Qing Xu Building.
There is a booklet, which was originally a gift for buying a painting, but a cheap painting costs ten taels of silver, and it is good luck to say that it is only with 30 yuan to buy the booklet.
The booklet wrote the origin of Qing Xu Lou.
It was once a prince who liked to play calligraphy and painting, and this kind of business was not elegant at that time, so the prince took a pseudonym and set up a table in the position of today's Qingxu Building.
Painting and writing lyrics during the day, enjoying flowers and singing songs at night, and being proficient in various musical instruments, many people imitate them.
The jade tree painted by the prince is in the wind, dressed in white, holding a fan, carrying a sword, and looking at it from afar.
After that, there are some old passages in the book, such as falling in love with a folk woman and accepting a chivalrous warrior who likes opera.
In addition, some episodes of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers also caused the woman who bought the painting next to her to laugh.
There is also a list of orioles in the back, regardless of men and women, only in the category of quyi to score high and low.
It's still Sang Ling Guild who does this kind of business, and I've seen a lot of it in Wuyin City before.
For example, the drunken gold building with scattered incense floating on the upper and lower floors, opened by the Sang Ling Chamber of Commerce, in which the golden word does not refer to money, but the other name of the bee, the golden wing, but the drunken gold is also right.
Approaching Qingxu Building, Chengyun can be regarded as seeing the world.
A green and white jade mountain floats up in the air, below is the lake pavilion, the clouds and mist are shrouded, come closer to see that there are cruise ships coming and going, the mountain is not dark, look up is a round of bright moon made of Qiong white jade.
Water, wood, mountains, and pavilions are stacked on top of each other, like everyone's ink painting in the soft moonlight.
There are several pavilions that go up the mountain, looming in the clouds and mist, surrounding the heavenly jade.
Cheng Yun Dao made his intentions clear, and a woman who applied lightly fat powder bowed and slowly led the way in front.
On the way, you can only see the moonlit boat lights and the sharp corners of the pavilions, giving guests plenty of space.
When going upstairs, the following is like a mirage in the moon, there are hidden paths, mountains, stones and trees divided, like the stars in the sky, each with brilliance.
In the slow movement of the clouds and mist, it was another scene, as if a cycle had been completed as the stairs climbed step by step.
Sensing the surrounding talisman surging, Cheng Yun sighed that it was good to be rich, not to mention the entire Qingxu Building, the moon hanging at the bottom of the mountain was sold, and a pig could be sent to the hide.
When I entered the door, I saw four people on business, and invited two of them to sit on each side, which had been recorded by Xiang Shang.
Cheng Yun greeted him and found a vacant seat to sit down and read the record book.
Chen Shilang's third son is called Chen Zhuomi, and the rich businessman is called Tan Er.
The reason for the dispute was that Ji Ying, the female pianist who was second on the piano list that day, played a song "Drunk in the Jade Building" to express her feelings of lovesickness, and then everyone in the audience had to throw money up.
It is not cheesy real money and silver, but the spiritual liquid that forms the spirit stone when it seems to be condensed but not condensed, which is called white condensation.
Thrown on the table, it will slowly disperse, and there is a rune array on the table to absorb white condensation, and after a certain amount, different styles of spirit stone carvings will be formed.
It is all up to the performers on stage to give many styles, and then it is determined by the amount of white condensation in different positions of the audience.
On that day, the two parties lost money, and Chen Zhuomi lost a guqin style, disgusted with the cheesy of the fair woman lost by the rich businessman.
Tan Er was about to give in, but when he heard the son of Chen Shilang say that he couldn't catch the city dolphin, he insulted his own business, and immediately lost twice as much white condensation.
Chen Zhuomi couldn't get off the stage when he saw this, and his father at home wouldn't give so much money, so he regretted it a little.
But at this time, he couldn't lose face, so he borrowed some money from his friends and reluctantly got on, and pressed Tan Er a little.
Tan Er is not used to these so-called princes of the imperial capital, and he doubled the pressure, and he didn't want to take out a sentence to press the bottom of the box:
Lansa fought on the other side of the frontier, and the lacquer Zhu Maoying actually broke the halberd.
can't pay for it, and he can't say that he is a businessman, which can be said to be a loss of face.
Qi hurriedly used the fan of the second-order magic weapon in his hand to shoot out two spiritual powers, although Tan Er could not protect it, but there was a piece of personal lining that was a third-order treasure, and he only suffered some internal injuries.
Chen Zhuomi used the magic weapon and regretted it, and most of them were afraid.
Tan Er was not angry when he was injured, and the shrewdness of the merchant told him two words, go quickly.
Then Qing Xulou went to work on official business and found the government.
This matter naturally belonged to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was first distributed to one place, and then lost to three places.
However, there is gossip that a chief patrol first found Chen Shilang, and Shilang just took this opportunity to teach his youngest son who was not a good person to teach him official business.
Don't look at it as a soldier who has fought a war, the people in the officialdom are not ambiguous, and they pretended to be stupid and threw them to Song Weiyi in three places.
Because Song Weiyi is the most unpopular among the six subordinate departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Seeing that his colleagues didn't speak, Cheng Yun would not be stupid enough to speak at such a time, and opened the booklet to see the second Ji Ying on the piano list.
The painter's brushwork is good, the painted woman is wearing a light veil, her eyebrows are sad, and her slender jade fingers gently pick the strings, such as green onions and jade, and there is a poem:
Smoke the Lu Hanging Silk Creek with some fat, and the idiot falls into a dream of the jade.
The embroidered shadow of the moon did not startle the cicada, but made the childish smile clear in the ears.
Although I don't know the rhythm, I don't really see the woman in the painting, and there are poems that praise me for being proficient in the piano, and I really want to see it if I have the opportunity.
Cheng Yun was stunned, shook his head with a smile, Qingxulou will indeed do business.
It was originally just a skirmish between guests, and Qingxulou was businesslike on the surface, but it was fair, so it wasn't a kind of momentum.
First, he has made his piano girl famous, and secondly, he vaguely reveals some amazing backgrounds, and he is not afraid of causing trouble.
Unbelief? Look at Chen Shilang's son, he also has to sit obediently and negotiate.
Chen Zhuomi's face was expressionless, but his eyes swept around from time to time to see that his heart was not calm.
Looking at Tan Er again, with some helplessness, he said something to Tong Xiangqi.
gave Xiang Shang a wink to indicate what the relationship between Tong Xiangqi and Tan Er was, and told Cheng Yun in a low voice that Tong Xiangqi's father had some business dealings with Tan Er.
The Tong family has settled in the imperial capital for nearly 500 years, and the Tong family has been a civil official and a businessman, and it is considered a first-class family in the city.
Tong Xiangqi's father is from the Tong family, but he is doing business abroad, and he speaks somewhat loudly, and he wants his son to take the official road, so he comes to three places to mix some credit.
This time, whether Qingxulou was thrown to three places because it was too troublesome, or someone in the Tong family made a effort, and Chengyun couldn't tell.
As for the information on the stockade, I don't want to go.
It's not that you can't wipe your face, but it's not a parent, and you have to pay it back after all.
Looking at Tong Xiangqi again, as a junior, he bowed down and stood next to Tan Er, who was sitting, and talked, and the two laughed from time to time.
glanced at Pu Yifang again, Pu Yifang hurriedly smiled, and went over to meet Tan Er.
Chen Zhuomi sneered, because Pu Yifang was his classmate when he was young, and he was even more out of Pu Qishu, who lost his position as a household waiter due to the loss of herbs in the official mansion.
Pu Yifang didn't care either, because the squire had always looked down on him, and after his father was demoted, he just looked down on him even more.
What's more, how can the contempt of outsiders hurt people's hearts more than the contempt of family members?
Seeing that the chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was silent, Chen Zhuomi really couldn't bear it.
was originally forced by his father to come here, so he had to be patient to say that even if he was not as good as the second brother's officialdom, he at least had to prove that he was not a fool and was worthy of being a waiter.
But what do you want me to do now?
As soon as he came, he immediately apologized to Tan Er, just a slight internal injury, didn't he look good in a few days?
not only apologized to show the squire's demeanor, but also wrote a letter to Miss Ji Ying to explain his gaffe, isn't it more graceful?
Pu Yifang ignores me, forget it, you are a military commander of the third department?
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and then I saw a young man's face and read the brochure of Qingxulou with relish, and it was even more unbearable, and he scolded Shi Zi loudly, "You still haven't decided the case, don't you spend money here to enjoy the blessings of Qingxulou!" ”
was taken aback, Cheng Yun didn't understand why Chen Zhuomi suddenly became so angry, and then looked at Wu Chang, his face was pale.
When Chen Zhuomi apologized, Shi Zi was watching from the side, and he reluctantly said sorry after he arrived, and then smiled and "gentle" and handed a letter to the maid and handed it to Miss Ji.
Even if you apologize in front of the government, but the other party in this case is not in charge, why are you and I in a hurry?
What's more, I saw the maid along the way, and I didn't even drink a sip of tea, what blessing did Lao Tzu enjoy?
But after all, he is the son of the squire, and he is just a little captain.
got up and gave his hand, and said that he had to wait for Qing Xulou to be in charge, and explain what losses there were that day, and he could only decide the case on his side, otherwise it would not be in accordance with the rules.
Cheng Yun sighed that Shi Zizi has been a captain for many years, and his calm kung fu is indeed worth learning more, no wonder others praise the sewing belt sent out by Chief Wu for being able to surround the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.
Tan Er also came out to play a round, "It was all a misunderstanding before, but since the business is official, we still have to wait for the Qing Xulou side to arrive, so that the brothers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can record it clearly before reporting, and Chen Gongzi will take care of it." ”
found that he was clumsy, and snorted coldly, it was difficult to say whether Xu Lou was not, so he could only sit down and drink tea in a muffled voice.
Shi Zi saw that Chen Zhuomi was no longer angry, and looked down on these powerful sons who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and was fortunate to see Chen Shilang's second son, who treated people politely, making people feel like a spring breeze, and this third son was very different.
With a smile on his face, he asked Chengyun not to watch the excitement anymore, and went to the steward of Qingxu Building to ask when he could come.
received the order to drink all the tea, went out to ask the waiting maid, the maid owed, and led Chengyun to find the steward in Qingxu Building.
After walking for a short distance to a three-story attic, many brightly dressed men and women came in and out, very busy.
Entering the door and about to go upstairs, a young man came down the stairs, and the maid called out to the steward, who had a smile similar to Tan Er's, and arched his hand: "The official can't help it, there are really some things that are dragging on, and I can't pull away, so I'll go with you." ”
Cheng Yun said that it was okay, it was basically a process, and both sides had already explained it, which was a misunderstanding.
The steward motioned for the maid to step back, parallel to Chengyun, "Little brother is the new patrol of Brother Shizi?" ”
Do you know this? Cheng Yun lagged behind a little and said, "Thanks to Chief Wu's care, I can have the honor to enter Qingxu Building once." Don't know what to do? ”
The young steward said: "My brother and Shi Zi used to be comrades, and I have met Shi Wu Chang a few times. ”
And then there's this relationship.
Cheng Yun didn't know what the young steward meant by telling him, so he had to compliment him a few words.
After entering the door, he first apologized to Shi Zi, and then apologized to Tan Er and Chen Gongzi, after all, Shi Zi represented the official family.
Chen Zhuo saw that it was the third-level steward in the building, and felt that it was a bit of a fuss, so he got up and returned the courtesy.
Tan Er knew this steward, surnamed Ning, who was exquisite, and Qingxulou and some troublesome things outside were sent out.
It is rumored that he is still the righteous son of someone behind Qingxu Building.
But this person is needed for this kind of scene today?
Shi Zi first asked the steward to sit down, and after greeting him, he mentioned how the steward's brother was doing.
Steward Ning said that his brother's recovery from his old illness was slow, but his spirit was much better.
Shi Zi laughed and said that he must bring wine to visit in his spare time, his brother can't drink it, so you have to drink a few more sips as a younger brother.
Chengyun is really happy to see history, the book says that there is no clothes, and the son is indeed real.
Book? It seems that I haven't read a book in the past few months, and I have written two letters without mentioning a word, which is a bad thing!
Hidden Wind will definitely write to himself to ask himself, some time ago, he could prevaricate with inconvenience, and there is no excuse for the past month.
It's really a book for Chengyun to copy books, although there is paper and pen in Sumeru, but it's not good to take it out recently, and it's completely forgotten after a long time, no wonder I'm in a good mood recently.
