Chapter 50 Flower Party

It was a few days ago when it drizzled slowly, but it was sunny these days, and the sun shone on people warmly. Is the so-called yang energy the feeling of this warm feeling?

The work and rest of the morning and night, the noisy market, and the rejuvenating flowers, plants and trees make people almost forget the shadows under the sun and are in good spirits.

Xie Jun was busy with the business operations he had planned before the New Year and had named the event the Huajianhui. When Zhang Ning asked about official business, he only said that everything had been arranged and that if there was any situation, he would report it to Zhang Ning in time.

Mr. Su and the other three talented men visited Yangzhou one after another, and lived on Baoyang Lake. His whereabouts seemed to be very low-key and he never showed up in public.

However, these people are not short of those famous prostitutes and soulmates who listen to songs and talk about the romantic affairs in private in the boudoir.

Therefore, the address and all information could not be avoided by Xie Jun's eyes and ears, and he quickly grasped the truth.

Zhang Ning had agreed to Xie Jun before, but when the matter was about to come, he naturally couldn't go back on his word, so he went to visit Mr. Su and proposed Xie Jun's invitation.

It was a gathering of romantic love, and it did not conflict with the hobbies of talented men. With the affection of acquaintances, Mr. Su really agreed.

During the conversation, Mr. Yang mentioned him again. I think Mr. Su was not very interested in any unknown brothel geisha. This time it was mostly because of the relationship between Zhang Ning and Yang Shiqi.

Until the end of February, the spies under Xie Jun had no valuable progress.

The date of the flower club in Biyuan is approaching, and Zhang Ning is bored, so he naturally has to attend the scene in person. It is not a bad thing to see the beautiful women singing and dancing.

The place is in the second-entry garden in Biyuan, with only a dozen or twenty people. Except for a few famous scholars, all the talented businessmen from Baoyang Lake were present... Oh?It was naturally lively and popular in the hall, but the score was low.

Xie Junman said everything about making money. He has been saying two or three days without mentioning any secret investigations. He must be high-profile. Only people with identities can participate. Others can only hear a little bit of silk and bamboo sounds and singing in the hall. It is useless to be anxious. If you are anxious, you can ask someone who wins... It would be even better to become a topic in the tea room. What is the scene of talking about this?

Seeing that he was so concerned, Zhang Ning echoed casually in the tea room: After all, it is the name of a game of romance. If we privately decide on a Yangzhou courtesan, we should not be labeled as a man of Yangzhou, right?

Who is doing this business in Yangzhou City? Who is in trouble for us?Xie Jun glared and said, "Add to mention the four talents of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the courtesans named by Yangzhou's wealthy people, there is not even a little weight?"

Zhang Ning smiled and said: Always calm down and you will definitely succeed.He thought about it and asked again: Do you say that it would be more reliable to give the money to Mr. Su and others?

Xie Jun shook his head and said: Never do this. These talented men are all literati. They are different from pure merchants. They have similar temperaments to the famous prostitutes in the kilns. They want to be bitches and set up archways.I thanked him for giving money afterwards, but he felt that he had lost his value after giving money beforehand.

Hengyong scolded me together.Zhang Ning joked.

Only then did Xie Jun realize that Zhang Ning was an official from the imperial examination. He was a serious civil servant and quickly stretched out his hand and slapped himself in the face: I stuttered, I slap myself.

A man who is big and thick looks very funny in doing this action. Mr. Xie is really fascinated by this moment.Zhang Ning smiled and grabbed him: Forget it.

At this time, a half-old woman came in and handed a greeting post and said: Our flower club has not yet bloomed, and her reputation has spread. A woman here sent a post, thinking that she could sing a song in front of the talented people.

Gu Chunhan?What's the origin?Xie Jun took a look at the post.

The woman said: After inquiring, she said she lived on the shore of Baoyang Lake and was born in a brothel. Later, she was bought as a concubine by a tea merchant named Wang in Yangzhou.The tea merchant was out on a boat to purchase goods. She had been alone in the empty room for too long and wanted to go out for a walk. It happened to be heard that the flower shop in our Biyuan Garden would be very interested.

Zhang Ning said casually: It sounds like the "Pipa Xing" by the lay Buddhist in Xiangshan.

A outdated brothel woman, who has not been polite for a long time after marrying a merchant, is afraid that she will be embarrassed by the time.Xie Jun said.

The woman said: You are not afraid of embarrassing, as long as you don’t compare Miss Miao in our garden.

Xie Jun made a disdainful voice from his mouth: Do you think you can meet a beautiful beauty everywhere?Even if you look good, it is just the most basic one. You still have to be both talented and talented. How many people can you choose from in the huge Yangzhou city with a population of one million?In this way, if you send someone to send an invitation, if the information is true and you can really sing or play, then send the invitation to her.It’s just right that one or two people from outside come in to serve as green leaves to avoid the obvious signs of our compliment.

yes.The woman responded.

Xie Jun turned to Zhang Ning and said: The person we finally praised is Miao Ge, but the ones that accompany us should not be too bad. In the end, Miao Ge appeared as the finale and amazed everyone. He was famous.

Zhang Ning nodded and said: The key is to let Miss Miao Ge prepare well. Only she can come up with real materials, which really makes Mr. Su appreciate it. It will be easier for me to talk to him in the future.

Don't worry, all the famous artists from Yangzhou City have invited me to give me some advice.

……

On March, it is a beautiful sunshine and a warm breeze blows under the sun. A red silk banner is hung at the gate of the Biyuan, with the letter: Yangzhou Flower Club.

The vertical banners on both sides also read the four talents of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the celebrities of the elite of the flowers to attend the meeting.

Indeed, even in a wealthy place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is rare to see stunning beauties. Occasionally, you can see a beautiful lady next door, which makes you very pleasing to the eye. The beautiful girl shows up from time to time. Even famous prostitutes who are prostitutes try to avoid showing up, let alone the ladies of good families.

People are feasting their eyes, and the guests are like tides, and the excitement is really amazing.

But the excited spectators could hardly see anything, and could only see the crowded crowds gathered together, but the excitement remained unabated.

It’s like during the May Day holiday, a large group of people flocked to various famous scenic spots, but they were filled with dense eyes, crowded with sweat, but they were still very excited. They just wanted to be interested, but it didn’t matter what they could see.

I heard that there are some elegant and famous people, but people can’t see each other. They all go in quietly through the back door.

One or twenty people arrived one after another, but Xie Jun did not come for the time being. Today, the talented and beautiful people are the protagonists, and he is just behind the scenes to avoid being overwhelmed by the main.

When Zhang Ning entered the private room, he saw that some of his beards were gray but his expression was calm. In contrast, no one in his early teens and twenties was seen. He thought that the truly wealthy and powerful man was not a playboy. Even if his family was too young, he would most likely be subject to restraint. No parents encouraged his young son to linger in such a flower field. Only when his wings were strong could he be arrogant and extravagant.

For everyone, Zhang Ning only recognized Mr. Su, so he stepped forward and said a few more words, but no one else knew anything.

The talented man Su Liangchen wore a long moon-white cloth robe today, but he was still as simple as he was not rich in spirit. However, those who knew about it knew that this man was rich at home and had a huge fortune, and his family was rich and his family was worth a huge fortune. As expected, sometimes people were not good at appearance.

Su Liangchen seemed to know everyone present, and he did not neglect Zhang Ning while chatting and laughing. He specifically recommended: Su's friend Zhang Ping'an, who is from the public.

Zhang Ning bowed and smiled with kindness: Lucky to meet.

Su Liangchen only mentioned a word about the people in the public, not talking about official positions or anything else, but it was just right. It would be boring to talk about the level of official positions in a romantic place.

Besides, it is not a glorious thing to have people with public office hang out among prostitutes. If the government meets the strict orders of the country, officials who are caught visiting prostitutes will lose their official position and get dismissed...

Of course, in the very extreme, everyone is not just purifying themselves. They usually don’t look for prostitutes, but look for men to walk on the dry road, because the law does not say that they are not allowed to play with men.

After hearing Su Liangchen's introduction, a cousin immediately joked: By the way, Brother Qingshan, I heard that you donated the reputation of a student in prison last year and also made him an official. What official is it?

A middle-aged man waved his hand and said: It’s better not to mention it, just a false title. Donate a fame and fortune and have an official position. You can walk around normally without much trouble. You don’t know.

Everyone then found a seat in groups of three or three. Young Master Su was sitting there the most people. I didn't expect that Young Master Su would usually look low-key and indifferent, and had good connections.

After a while, a group of girls dressed up as beautiful as palace maids brought tea and water, and put on stationery utensils, and the little girl was grinding ink to serve.

For a moment, the room was filled with the smell of tea and ink, and a farce of visiting prostitutes was made full of all kinds of elegance.

There are also bamboo curtains on the platform hanging down, carved windows and vermilion lacquer, and palace lanterns, which have an antique charm.

Before the beauties came on stage, people here were already excited to write the written test. Whether rich or talented, they were ready to write a poem and recite it.

Zhang Ning thought that Xie Jun had put a lot of effort into this matter, so he asked Su Liangchen for his words: What is the arrangement of this flower party today?

Su Liangchen took a sip of tea, nodded and said calmly: Tea really has some effort.

Listening to this, I only talk about tea, as if I was saying: Just a good tea garden, just do tea business, don’t mess with the music industry.

However, Zhang Ning was a little looking forward to Miao Ge's performance. She hadn't heard her sing, but her voice was very good.

Maybe there will be surprises.Zhang Ning said.
