Chapter 346: Into the Picture Box Boom
The painting box is very popular in Jiangnan. But not a single wealthy merchant has brought it into Chang'an. Lei Changye's box business also did not cover the Guanzhong area. Although the merchants who came from Jiangnan to sell goods mentioned the fun of Lei Gong's opera in the painting box, their language was vague and their expression skills could not keep up, so people just thought they were bragging and listening to it.
But this time, the eyeliner of the Demon God Sect that was scattered by the fish mystery, all of them were characters with sharp teeth and lotus tongues. In order to make their descriptions more accurate, Yu Xuanji also let them personally see the live broadcast of Lei Gong drama in the picture box.
These disciples of the Demon God Sect who had been trapped in Chang'an for a long time were simply drunk at first sight, and their loyalty immediately poured out on the new owner. They all gathered around the fish mystery and continued to be courteous, just to be able to enter the painting.
When Yu Xuanji sent them to spread the news, they had already entered the role of direct sales, going back and forth between the sons of the Qinglou, and describing the excitement of Lei Gong's drama in a vivid way. Relying on their clever tongues and their love for Lei Gongju, they successfully aroused the curiosity of the Chang'an magnates and wealthy people to enter the painting box.
A month later, Lei Changye's painting box spread wildly in the aristocratic circle of Chang'an, and became the hottest topic in Chang'an City these days. Almost all the sons and daughters of nobles and powerful ministers talked about it endlessly.
Because the land route between Chang'an and Jiangnan is too far, and the waterway has to be exploited by the Xuanwu Army's own water and land transport in Bianzhou, which is miserable. Therefore, the business of the noble and powerful families cannot be extended to Jiangnan. In a short period of time, it is impossible to mobilize people to go to Jiangnan to get Su Yang's hot painting box.
Therefore, Lei Changye's painting box has gradually become an extremely mysterious urban legend in Chang'an. Legend has it that people in the painting box can rejuvenate, resurrect the dead, live forever, and even become male to female, female to male, and enjoy a variety of strange lives that cannot be enjoyed in reality.
Just listening to these legends is already tickling the heart. The nobles of Chang'an gathered together to chat about entering the painting box, and often they did not get tired of chatting all night, which also led to countless jokes and absurd wild histories.
These legends were passed into the Daming Palace, and they were also heard by Qiu Shiliang little by little.
At the beginning, Qiu Shiliang laughed at the resurrection of the dead, rejuvenation and immortality. Because his own magic skills supported him to the realm of the Eight Grades, he already had the effect of resurrecting the dead and rejuvenating, and even immortality was no longer out of reach.
However, the legend of entering the picture box of men turning into women, women becoming men, and entering the characters at will made Qiu Shiliang's heart pound.
As a eunuch, his biggest regret is that his body is incomplete. The demonic skills he had cultivated had been practiced to the extreme, and he did not have the ability to break his body and resurrect his body.
It is precisely because the magic skill he has been pinning his hopes on does not have this ability, which makes his desire to regain the body of a man even more intense, even to the point of desperation.
Now Qiu Shiliang wants money, power, and strength, and he can live for a long time, and even married a wife. The only regret is that he can't be a real man yet.
When he heard that the painting box had the function of changing from a man to a woman and a woman to a man, he had a whim: Can the eunuch become a man?
As soon as this thought was born, it entangled his heart like a strange python, thinking about it when he went to the court, thinking about it when he was going down to court, thinking about it when he scolded Emperor Kaicheng, thinking about it when he beat the officials of the Southern Ya with a cane, thinking about it when he was training the demons of Changsu in the Shence Army, and even when he was practicing demon skills, he was still thinking about it.
Everyone around him clearly felt his strangeness. Qiu Shiliang also knew that if he continued like this, not only would he not be able to do anything, but he would also have the worry of going mad. He had to find out for himself whether the legend of the box was true.
After a month of building momentum, Yu Xuanji felt the need to officially introduce the painting box to the sons of the Chang'an aristocratic circle. Hit out the name of Lei Gongju and the chips in the painting.
And at this time, the key person arranged for her by Lei Changye, Wang Sui, came in handy.
Wang Sui was originally the owner of the Jiazhou incense in the Bashan Gang, and he shined in Dongchuan's action to earn the ghost king maggot, he was clever and intelligent, and he was a good seedling worth building. Lei Changye saw his advantages, so he introduced him to the Arrangement Bureau and served as a backbone member of the Arrangement Bureau under Yu Xuanji.
This time, as Yu Xuanji went north to Chang'an, everyone used the fake public test carefully created by Xuanjin and Lei Changye, and disguised themselves as different people. is only the age of the king, and Lei Changye deliberately retains all his identities and notarization. His long string of notarial identities continued to his status in Jiazhou.
When going north, Lei Changye also instructed Yu Xuanji not to pass the customs with Wang Sui, but to pass the customs separately, in case Chang'an Wuhou and bad people saw them together.
Since Yu Xuanji asked Lei Changye about whether the picture box was kept secret, Lei Changye had a hunch that she was going to make a big fuss about the picture box, so he personally arranged a special identity for Wang Sui, that is, the direct seller of the picture box.
When he went north, Wang Sui carried a treasure bag with him, which contained 3,000 painting boxes prepared for him by Lei Changye, each of which was similar to the painting box he prepared for Zhang Jiao. Anyone who gets the box will have a day to experience it.
When Wang Sui first came to Chang'an, he once got in touch with Lei Changye through the method of entering Lei Gongxi, and reported Yu Xuanji's plan.
After Lei Changye heard Yu Xuanji's plan, he asked him to stand still and wait for Yu Xuanji to take the initiative to find him before starting to act.
When Yu Xuanji thought that the time was ripe to enter the painting box, Wang Sui immediately found her and revealed to her the identity and plan of action that Lei Changye had prepared for him.
What else can Yu Xuanji say? The plan she came up with with all her might, Lei Changye had prepared a month ago. The IQ difference between her and Lei Changye is only one month.
Fortunately, her admiration for Lei Changye was already very deep, and this little bit of envy, jealousy and hatred turned over a small wave, and it quickly disappeared. She quickly got into character.
"Did the alliance leader tell you how to start soliciting customers?" asked Yu Xuanji.
"Nope. He said that Director Yu had his own arrangements, and he only asked me to start working when Director Yu needed it. Wang Sui said respectfully to Yu Xuanji.
"Good. Because the Alliance Leader knows that I will arrange a great stage for you to display in the picture box. Yu Xuanji smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Director Yu. The leader of the alliance told me that once the 3,000 into the picture box is sent out and the business of the Lei Gongxi members is brought, I can take half of it. I am willing to share this income with Director Yu in 64. Wang Sui said with a smile.
"I don't need to. You can take it all. As long as you sell the Picture Case to a key person, the Alliance Leader will give you as much as you want, and I will give you an additional amount of the same amount. Yu Xuanji said in a deep voice.
"The king should be dead. Wang Sui was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed his hand.
In the early morning of the next day, a big notice was placed outside Zangjiao Building: Zangjiao Building will launch Lei Gong Opera from tonight, and the popular Oiran and Duzhi in the building will accompany Chang'an Gongzi to kill all sides.
As soon as this notice was posted, it caused a sensation in Chang'an City. First of all, the early risers and the shopkeepers saw this notice and rushed to tell each other. Then there was the noble son of Chang'an's powerful ministers who had just gotten up at noon, and they all heard the good news.
The sons and daughters of these powerful ministers and nobles, some of whom were loyal to Qiu Shiliang, immediately sent the news to the palace as soon as possible, and those who had contact with the princes and princes of the sixteen mansions of Chang'an secretly handed the news into the sixteen mansions.
That night, almost all the famous sons and descendants of the nobles in the aristocratic circle of Chang'an ran to the Tibetan Jiaolou.
In the years when Qiu Shiliang was entrenched in the center of power in Chang'an, Chang'an City was gradually withering, and there were very few wealthy businessmen, and even if there were some, they were inextricably linked with the eunuch group that controlled the imperial court. Therefore, the number of wealthy businessmen who came to Zangjiaolou that night was not large. However, this is already all the children of wealthy businessmen in the entire Chang'an.
Today's Chang'an City does not attach as much importance to curfews as it did in its heyday. Qiu Shiliang's management of Chang'an is far inferior to that of the previous lieutenant of the Divine Army, and even less than the heroes of the Tang Dynasty.
Chang'an City presents a very obvious pattern of being expensive in the east and cheap in the west, and the south is empty and the north is real. South of the sixth horizontal street of Suzaku Gate, there is not even a place to live, and the southernmost four rows, from the east city wall to the west city wall, only occasionally people live, many places have been reclaimed as farmland, and even turned into wild land in the city.
Pingkangfang, where Zangjiaolou is located, is located in the northwest corner of Dongshi, located in the aristocratic mansion area on the east side of Chang'an, itself is a place where nobles and heroes, children of powerful ministers, and princes and sons are free. Those who came to Chang'an to take the exam, and the first Jinshi and the eunuchs who came to Beijing on business also often came here to play.
The magnates who lived near Pingkangfang opened the street, made a hole near their own mansion, and went directly to Pingkang West Street, swaggering into Pingkangfang. In the middle of the night, there was no long-eyed Jin Wuwei to take care of this idle matter.
So when the building was opened that night in Zangjiaolou, all the nobles in Chang'an City had already arrived, and many lonely princesses in the family house also sneaked out to watch the excitement.
With the arrival of these noble sons and princesses, there are martial arts masters from dozens of martial arts halls in Chang'an. In their spare time when they are practicing martial arts, they also take on some bodyguard business, and they follow these sons and princesses to get the fastest money.
This day can be said to be the most beautiful day in Zangjiaolou. When the sisters of Zang Jiaolou saw such a grand scene, they were so excited that they chattered non-stop, and told the princes and nobles in Chang'an City over and over again.
Su Daji, Bao Xi and Mei Xi, who were applying makeup on the dressing table on the second floor, looked at the excited appearance of the sisters around them and pouted. They've seen real bigwigs. In their eyes, the bunch of goods downstairs are all vegetables. Those who are really rich should have five heads.
After everyone sat down, Ye Luoting smiled happily and raised her handkerchief, came to the center of the flower hall, and saluted the full circle of high-ranking friends: "Ladies and gentlemen of Chang'an City, Luo Niang is polite." Without further ado, today's protagonist is not me, nor the Oiran in our building, but this boss Wang who has traveled all the way from Jiangnan to Chang'an. ”
Ye Luoting raised her hand and pointed towards the second floor.
The hall looked up, but saw a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, holding a puff fan in his hand, walking down from the second floor with a cheap smile on his face. Beside him, four stunning beauties held fans, half-covering their faces, and moved lotus steps lightly, coming in a flash.
When everyone saw this posture, a sentence suddenly popped up in their minds: Beauty and Monkey!
