Tea houses, wine shops, song shops, brothels and other gossip scattered places all over Luzhou City, these days have been talking about a topic, that is, dozens of two-zhang high logs have recently been erected in a vacant land in the prosperous area of the City God Temple, surrounded by white curtains outside, and more than ten helpers inside are busy Zhenghuan does not know what they are tinkering with.
According to well-informed sources, this is the Su family in Luzhou who spent a lot of money to send the vendors on this vacant land home and borrow this place for 20 days; More than 200 yuan was spent on compensation for the dozens of vendors in this vacant land alone.
The idlers risked being scolded by the Su family to look into the curtain, but they only saw that the helpers in the curtain were building a wooden platform halfway up the log, tinkling and nailing the frame, and they didn't know what they were doing.
Life in Luzhou Mansion is leisurely, and the people usually don't have much fun, so they talk about every new thing, the Su family is so fanfare but mysterious around the curtain to set up a stage inside, is it to invite famous singers to sing on the occasion of the Dragon Boat Festival?
But singing is not so mysterious, there are many big families in Luzhou who invite opera troupes to sing big operas, and none of them are as mysterious as the Su family.
What's more, under the investigation of well-intentioned people, they found that Su Ji Buzhuang in Dongcheng and Su Ji Garment Shop near Sanlihe in Nancheng had hung signs saying that they would close down and take inventory, indicating that they would reopen in 10 days.
From the third day, the city god temple, Su Ji cloth village, Su Ji garment shop at the door are hung up the countdown card, as the ten-day period is gradually approaching, the number on the countdown card gradually decreases, people's curiosity is getting stronger and stronger, seeing the Su family young owner every day with a maid and a group of small servants shuttling back and forth in the market, busy not to open the look, eager to see the end of the Luzhou people itching.
On the eighth day, the top celebrities in the famous three green buildings in Beicheng and the famous singers in the song workshop all received an invitation from the Su family that they could not refuse: there was no need to sell their skin and singing voice, and there was no need to accompany the smiling faces to maneuver among the benefactors, and the Su family hired them for ten days with ten yuan a day; The condition is that everything is in accordance with the instructions of the young owner of the Su family, and not a word is allowed to be confided to outsiders.
Old. Bustard. Of course, the sons and girls can't ask for it, ten times a day, ten days is a hundred, even if they divide the account in half, they can each get fifty times in ten days, which has to serve how many tall, short, fat and thin benefactors, or how many small songs to sing to get a huge amount of money.
Especially when the young owner of the Su family gathered them together and explained the details to be paid attention to, these people were simply dumbfounded, isn't this son of the Su family a fool? If you like to give money to people to spend, it's not such a way to give, you don't have to do anything, just like this, you can earn ten dollars a day, which is simply falling from the sky.
As for the young owner's requirements, such as positioning, appearance, and eyes, it is simply not a problem for the women who have been in the scene for a long time, but the young owner proposed that in some links, he is not allowed to laugh, and he is not allowed to laugh once and deduct the money, but he is not allowed to cry with a sad face, but to be expressionless, which makes them puzzled, but this is not a difficult matter, this handsome little Langjun said to do what to do, who called people rich.
Ten days are coming in a blink of an eye, and in the past ten days, dozens of men and tailors in the two places of Su Ji Cloth Village and the ready-to-wear shop have lost a lot of weight, but the young owner is relieved and a large number of rewards are sprinkled, tired is tired, but also tired.
The Su family is divided into two factions, one faction thinks that the Shaodong family is simply a loser, so he tosses it like this, and spends nearly 600 yuan in more than ten days, plus the loss of the closure of the two shops, at least nearly 700 yuan, which is a loser's move; The old people of the Su family in the Su family's rice shop, oil mill and other places who held this view ran to Mrs. Wang's place to make suggestions, asking Mrs. Wang to stop the senseless profligacy of the Shaodong family; Although Mrs. Wang didn't understand what tricks Su Jin was playing, but this was the first time that her son was busy with one thing, and he couldn't go up and pour a scoop of cold water, having said that, even if Su Jin was so tormented, it was not so easy to lose all the family property within a year and a half.
"You shopkeepers are relieved, my son is not a stupid person, he has his own reasons, you can wait and see, go back to Haosheng to run a shop, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching the peak season of business, don't be distracted by this matter." Mrs. Wang was not confident enough to send away the shopkeepers; The shopkeepers shook their heads helplessly and sighed, after all, people spent their own money, and as an old man of the Su family, they could only remind and could not really interfere, only when the young owner made trouble, maybe the lady of the owner would be alert.
The other faction that firmly supports Su Jin is the old shopkeeper and cloth village and the master and shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop; These two shops are in the realm of lingering, and it will be the fate of Guan Zhang Daji sooner or later, and the young owners have made great efforts to make a fuss about these two shops, in fact, they are saving their jobs; In particular, the return of the old shopkeeper Zhang gave everyone a stronger confidence, and the old shopkeeper's full support for Su Jin also set an example for everyone, although everyone didn't know if the young owner's actions would play a role, but following the old shopkeeper would never go wrong, even if he ran with his head covered, there would be no accident, and the prestige and vision accumulated by the old shopkeeper Zhang in the Su family for more than 20 years have not disappointed them once.
Su Jin knows these things well, he is very clear about the various reactions of everyone, the only thing that surprised him was the reaction of the old shopkeeper Zhang, the old shopkeeper in his fifties can actually understand his thoughts and give firm support, which shows that his methods are correct, ancient and modern, and the same is true in business, the old shopkeeper is well versed in the way of management, and his recognition gives Su Jin more powerful confidence.
On the morning of the second day of May, under the watchful eyes of all people, the curtain built by the Su family on the square in front of the City God Temple was about to be opened.
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many people who burn incense in the temple of the City God Temple, and the ladies and ladies of the big families of the official and gentleman families go out together, and the ordinary people will also come to pay tribute to a stick of incense in these days.
Ordinary hawkers are taking advantage of the time before the Dragon Boat Festival to make an extra sum, the square in front of the City God Temple is bustling and lively since the sun rises, what rings, shaking colors, sugar people, Trojan horses, shaking bamboo, selling dough sculptures and so on.
At the end of the hour, a dozen mule carts arrived, and the cars stopped one by one in the open space behind the curtain, and the graceful figures in the car quickly got out of the car and got into the curtain.
The sharp-eyed idler opened his eyes and shouted, "Little Phoenix Fairy! Isn't that the little phoenix of Mingyufang? ”
"Where? Where? A group of people stretched out their necks like duck necks and squeezed to watch, and were all blocked by the four small servants of the Su family at the door.
In the midst of the commotion, only to listen to the 'Gong ~ click' two kicks to the sky and the cannon flew into the sky and resounded through the sky, startling everyone to look up, but saw the curtain in the two kicks continue to burst into the air, at the same time the two corners of the front of the curtain stretched out several long bamboo poles with small whips, with the fire folds stretched out to ignite the firecrackers, crackling fireworks rose, the sound of popping beans like firecrackers attracted the eyes of the people in front of the entire City God Temple.
The sound of firecrackers rang for a quarter of an hour, and as the green smoke dissipated, I suddenly heard the sound of silk and bamboo music in the curtain, which seemed to be really a big show; With the sound of silk and bamboo, the huge curtain on the front slowly opened, and the color platform that the Su family had been tinkering with for ten days finally appeared in front of everyone.
I saw a wide wooden platform set up in the middle of the log four feet high from the ground, the wooden platform was covered with a thick red carpet, the ribbons flew around the wooden platform, the red silk was spreading, and two couplets were hung on the pillars on both sides, and the left book: Buddha is golden, people are clothes, and the eyes of the world are snobbish; Written on the right: There is only skin appearance, no bone appearance, and the people are covered with cloth. A pair of horizontal batches are pulled horizontally at the top, and there are several big characters in black on a red background: Su Ji makes everyone glamorous.
Everyone saw that the second monk was puzzled, and the talented sons in the crowd and the boudoir girls who knew some poetry seemed to understand a little, but they didn't quite understand; So the interest soared, and I was looking forward to what would happen next.
The sound of firecrackers stopped, the sound of silk and bamboo rose again, and after a subdued and frustrated piano sound sprinkled across the venue like flowing water, more than ten women in white came out, dancing with the sound of the piano, with a thin waist like cotton, slender arms like willows, suddenly dividing and closing, advancing and retreating.
The next moment, a courtesan in Tsing Yi appeared on the stage, and after the silk music turned light, the song sounded, and the clear sound was slightly opened, and it instantly sprinkled the audience, and the literati and scholars who stopped in the audience and those who knew the goods naturally knew that what she sang was a song in the Lu tune "Bodhisattva Man", but I heard the courtesan sing:
The wind is soft, the spring is still early, and the new shirt is in a good mood at first glance.
Sleep slightly cold, plum blossoms on the sideburns.
Where is the hometown, forget unless you are drunk.
When the water is lying down, it is burned, and the incense and wine are not eliminated.
In the twilight of spring, the breeze in the morning light is gently caressed, and the graceful dance is watched in the comfortable air, and the heavenly song is listened to, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
After a song and dance, all the women on the stage suddenly retreated backstage, and the stage was empty; The people in the audience were stunned for a long time, and they didn't know who shouted "Okay!" The people who came to their senses immediately applauded thunderously and loudly.
