Wang Bo didn't dwell on this issue too much, which made Zhen Qian secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, this question was too sensitive, and he couldn't answer it now, and he didn't know why he said these words.

"Of course, in addition to the salt industry in Yangzhou, there are many profitable businesses, such as silk, grain, porcelain, etc., but these are all monopolized by some clans, even if our families want to get a piece of the pie, it is difficult, unless we cooperate with the clan, what do you say?"

Zhen Qian opened his mouth and didn't know any answer, Wang Bo was right, with the peace of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, the power of the clan is now getting bigger and bigger, and Li Longji's control over the clan is limited to military power and political participation in order to consolidate the imperial power, and other aspects are deliberately indulgent, and even secretly encourage the extravagance and mutual comparison of the clan, which further fuels the arrogance of the clan.

Seeing Zhen Qian smiling and not answering, Wang Bo patted Zhen Qian's shoulder and said: "I know you have done a good job in Luquan County this year, I have also read the song 'Ai Lian Said', the literary style is very Wei and Jin style, it is a rare masterpiece, I didn't expect you to have such literary talent, worthy of being the descendant of my Wang family!" ”

Zhen Qian smiled in his heart, he would really put gold on his face, when did he become a descendant of the Wang family, this skin is really thick!

"Zhen Qian, why did you get to Yangzhou during the Shangyuan Festival, I heard that your drunken immortal building opened in Yangzhou, why didn't you notify me?"

"My grandson didn't know that my grandfather still had an industry in Yangzhou, and I thought that my grandfather was in Fei County, and this time I came to Yangzhou to send a friend back to the country!"

"Oh! But send Tang envoys? ”

Looking at Wang Bo's surprised expression, his grandfather was too good at acting, and he was speechless for a while. I am afraid that his whereabouts have already fallen into the hands of Wang Bo, how can there be so many clever things in the world, hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou, trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, you lie to the ghost!

"Exactly!"

"You actually know the Tang envoy?" Wang Bo's expression flickered on his face, and he looked Zhen Qian up and down: "It seems that you have a good relationship with the Tang envoy, and you have the opportunity to bring your grandfather to know each other!" ”

"Ahh At this time, Zhen Qian was a little stunned, Wang Bo actually wanted to see the Tang envoy, the thought flashed quickly, and he was a little puzzled: "Grandpa met the Tang envoy, I don't know what happened?" ”

"I just want to get to know him, do you have any questions?"

Zhen Qian naturally didn't want to postpone, so he nodded and agreed: "Since my grandfather said it, my grandson should only do it, but I just came to Yangzhou today, and I haven't seen the envoy from the Tang Dynasty yet, so I will naturally help my grandfather introduce me after I see it!" ”

"Oh! You don't know the envoys who sent Tang envoys? ”

"My grandson only knows one of the entourages who sent the Tang envoys......", Zhen Qian briefly said that he knew Fujiwara Shuxiong, "This time I sent Fujiwara Shuxiong to Yangzhou, and I will go out to study and look around, and I want to return to Luquan County after a while."

Wang Bo laughed, glanced at Zhen Qian meaningfully and said, "Have you ever gone home to worship your ancestors?" ”

Zhen Qian didn't know what Wang Bodong's purpose was, nodded, and briefly said the matter of returning to Zhending to worship his ancestors on the first day.

"Now that you've met your father, you must already know about the marriage?"

Zhen Qian secretly smiled bitterly, Wang Bo mentioned the matter of worshipping ancestors on the first day, and he guessed that Wang Bo mentioned marriage, but he didn't expect that he still didn't hide from it.

"After visiting Yangzhou this time, how about returning to Fei County with me?"

Zhen Qian can't agree or not, Wang Bo will definitely ask questions, and it is impossible for him to tell the matter of going to the Japanese Kingdom, so he can only stabilize Wang Bo for the time being, "Okay! I haven't been back to see it for a long time, and last time my father also said that I would have time to go to Fei County to meet my grandfather! ”

Wang Bo smiled, as if he believed Zhen Qian's words, and the smile on his face became even worse.

At this time, there was a commotion in the hall, and the two of them looked down together, only to see that the singing and dancing on the stage in the center of the hall had dispersed, and an old bustard with undiminished charm shook his fat buttocks and walked on the stage with charming eyes, and said in a slightly windy and provocative voice: "All the officials came to Yihong Courtyard today to cheer up, our store has prepared many programs for you during the Shangyuan Festival, and invited the rare Oiran in the store to present a song and dance performance, but before that, it was a new official once a year, if you fancy the lady." , you might as well kiss Fangze! ”

"Next, please go to the young lady, the young lady is twenty-eight years old this year, versatile and proficient in music, and the pipa in one hand is the emotional ......", said a curtain behind the old bustard, a young girl wearing green yarn slowly walked onto the stage, a touch of shyness on her cheeks, holding a pipa in her arms, Yingying saluted to everyone in the audience, and ushered in the cheers of countless people.

"Start bidding now, the low price is thirty times!"

"I'm out of forty!" A man with rouge on the corner of his mouth shook and stretched out his arm, which immediately attracted the coquettishness of the maid beside him.

"Fifty times!"

"Fatty, where is your tigress waiting at home? Do you want me to go back and say something! ”

"If you spoil my good deeds, I will burn down your house!"

"Seventy!"

The price soared, and soon rose to 100 yuan, Zhen Qian saw that there were obviously a few people downstairs secretly giving eyes, but he didn't expect that "Tuo" would appear in the Tang Dynasty.

Speaking of which, a female slave is not expensive in Datang, if she looks average and has no outstanding talent, the price is not as expensive as a foal. But the women in the Qinglou are different, after careful training, most of them are above average in appearance, they can sing and dance, be empathetic, and especially the kung fu of serving men in bed is first-class.

As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a prostitute.

"One hundred and ten times!"

Just after an old man who was obsessed with lust reported one hundred and ten times, most people lost interest in competition, and a young girl wanted one hundred and ten times a night, could it not be made of gold.

The old bustard saw that no one was bidding, so he naturally accepted it when he saw it, and with this good start, the price behind it would naturally not be too low.

Zhen Qian looked upstairs and shook his head, like such a girl, she has been cultivated since she was a child, even if she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is only forty or fifty times, from the beginning of picking up customers to the old Zhuhuang, I don't know how much gold and silver I can earn for the Qinglou, and the final outcome is generally not too good, and if I am lucky, I will be bought home while I am young.

"Grandpa, if it's okay, grandchildren go back first, if grandpa has something, he can let people go to Zuixianlou to find me", Zhen Qian has a kind of heartfelt resistance to this kind of occasion, he is not a saint, but he can't see these hard-working people being sold as commodities to buy, since he can't help, it's better not to see.

Wang Bo stopped Zhen Qian with a smile, "Today's Shangyuan Festival, my grandson might as well sit with the old man for a while, let's talk about it well, since it is difficult to come out once, it is good to have a good time, people are not romantic boys!" ”
