Chapter 901: Preparations
Generosity? Inexistent. This has nothing to do with whether he is truly loyal and patriotic, but because of other factors.
Everyone in Shilin loves fame, everyone wants to have a good reputation, and they may be very rich, but they will never donate it in a big way.
First, offending people.
Originally, people took a look, good guy, you donate so much! What are we going to do? Co-authored are you the only one who is loyal and patriotic? Are we all spicy chicken?
Second, it damages reputation.
Ordinary people look at it, damn it, you are so rich? I'm afraid it's not because of corruption, right?
Look, in this way, who would dare to make a bird. Surely no one dares to donate, at most a fraction of the meaning.
Of course, this is only one reason, and if they really donate, they may not be really happy.
The emperor's call for money to donate money for military salaries has no effect, Liu Ru is certainly famous, but what about famous prostitutes? It's useless.
Zhou Shaoyu suddenly felt that he was a little bad, and he looked very scheming when he hooked up with a girl, but if he thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it.
Suppose you like a girl, but obviously you don't belong to other people's dishes, and you can't meet the requirements of what they love, then what should you do? How can you hold a beauty without playing a little trick? Besides, Zhou Shaoyu didn't play those vulgar moves, such as inviting someone to save the beauty or something, and he didn't use deception.
In other words, there is nothing to debunk.
Zhou Shaoyu still found that there was a little bit of blood in the end, or did Dong Xiaowan tell Xiao Qiao, and then the two sisters panicked and had to check it with their own eyes.
To be honest, the wound is really not big, and it is very shallow, but in the end, it was scratched and pulled out of blood, if it was Yang Miaozhen, they would definitely be very calm, where would such a little injury go. But for Big and Little Joe, it was enough to worry them a lot.
After carefully taking the medicine, and then with a worried and concerned face, this expression, okay, let the women who didn't see the wound directly misunderstand, and thought that the injury was not light.
Thinking of Zhou Shaoyu's desperate protection, he pretended to be okay afterwards and made dinner, if it wasn't for the bleeding, no one would find out. The psychology of being moved is inevitable, because of the difference in identity, Bai's perspective is different.
Of course, the Bai family was grateful for such a kind intention to get Dong Xiaowan free, but until the last moment, the Bai family was not sure if Zhou Shaoyu really had no strange ideas. However, after this incident, at least it proves that Zhou Shaoyu's character is not bad, of course, a good character does not mean that he is a good person, at least, it is impossible for ordinary people to not change their faces after killing so many people.
It is also based on this that in the hearts of the women, they subconsciously have a little more awe for Zhou Shaoyu.
Well, at least Chen Yuanyuan is much more honest......
In this regard, Zhou Shaoyu is also quite helpless, such a thing happens, although it makes them more grateful, but in the same way, because of fear, there is a sense of distance. Zhou Shaoyu suddenly found that his behavior of kidnapping Chen Yuanyuan was not appropriate at all, obviously he always thought that Chen Yuanyuan was involuntarily, since this is the case, what is the difference between his own actions?
Sure enough, because of the experience of a lot, the ideological aspect still involuntarily set off towards the rational aspect?
Because Chen Yuanyuan is not easy to take away, and he is not specialized in her, he subconsciously chose this forcible way, and he also thinks it is very reasonable. Even, in order to avoid being guessed by others, he first took Liu Ru and them out of Suzhou for several days before secretly going back to bring Chen Yuanyuan out.
Zhou Shaoyu has been warning himself not to forget his heart, but he still changed unconsciously. Fortunately, it's not too late to find out at this time, otherwise if everything is treated rationally, maybe there will be fewer mistakes, but what is the meaning.
Everyone thought about it and finally entered Jinling City.
Liu Ru, who was anxious to verify in his heart, began to prepare for the poetry reception non-stop, and directly sent invitations in his own name.
In this regard, Liu Ru is basically unacceptable, the so-called number of people is powerful, and the part that was rejected......
"Why reject those merchants? Aren't they rich? Zhou Shaoyu knew the reason, but he deliberately asked so.
The place where everyone is currently is a manor that Liu Ru borrowed through his connections, and the house is very large, so it is also to prevent too many people from coming at that time to greet him.
In order to achieve better results, Liu Ru also went to a lot of Qinglou to discuss, fortunately, when I heard the number of people and people involved, such a good thing, it did not need to spend extra money to invite people, so that in addition to scholars, scholars and even officials, there will be several famous prostitutes will appear.
Now it's easy to rest for a while, but Zhou Shaoyu found him.
"Brother Zhou, didn't you ask knowingly?" Liu Ru said in surprise.
It's not so raw to call Zhou Gongzi, but this doesn't mean that the relationship has become much closer, Liu Ru has seen a lot of people recently, and they all call him brother, in this case, he also calls Zhou Shaoyu Zhou Gongzi, which is too deliberate, and it is this way to change his mouth.
"No, I'm curious." Zhou Shaoyu was already making tea in the room, and at this moment, he picked up the teapot and poured a few cups one by one. "The businessman is lowly and rejected by Shilin, I naturally know this reason, if such a poetry and wine meeting Shangjia appears, in the eyes of outsiders, it will drop several grades in an instant, presumably Yinniang is also afraid that many people will change their minds and stop attending, but ......"
"But what?" Liu Ru took a sip of tea, and his spirit improved a little.
"Not to mention the backing problems behind those businessmen, and even the people behind the scenes are simply those people of Shilin, Yinniang's move is to contribute to the country, I hope that the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous, and now the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and the businessmen are also a force to be reckoned with, no matter what the usual, as long as you are willing to donate at the moment and express your loyalty and patriotism, it will be good.
However, in the face of such major events, those people still have to hang their identity differences outside to show that they are different, is this a manifestation of selfishness? In the face of the righteousness of the country, everyone should be equal, and they should be united, but as they are now, this kind of thing must be divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Does the Hidden Lady think so? ”
Liu Ru's face was not very good-looking, indeed, because he was afraid that the people of Shilin would not attend, so he refused to refuse all the others, including military attachés, small officials, businessmen, etc., except for scholars and scholars. If this is according to Zhou Shaoyu's theory, it is actually equivalent to including Liu Rushi, if not, why would Liu Rushi reject those people?
But Zhou Shaoyu's statement is completely incorrect, the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and at this time, it has to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, isn't it ridiculous? Could it be that the so-called loyalty and patriotism are not as good as the son and identity?
Liu Ru had never thought about it like this before, but now that she said this, she was a little scary.
"My brother has been taught." Liu Ru arched his hand.
However, being taught is being taught, things have come to this, and it is impossible to change it, Liu Ru may have figured out some joints, but those scholars and scholars are not, if they suddenly open to merchants at this time, wouldn't they want to fry the pot?
Liu Ru is busy again, Xiao Qiao will definitely not help, he is not familiar with this side in the first place. Chen Yuanyuan will not either, don't forget that she was kidnapped by Zhou Shaoyu, once her appearance is discovered and spread, Chen Yuanyuan will be finished. In fact, the most sensational news in the entire Jiangnan is this, the sudden disappearance of Chen Yuanyuan in Suzhou Liyuan has caused a lot of criticism and gossip.
In such a situation, except for following Xiao Qiao to live in a simple way, there is no way to do it for the time being.
Dong Xiaowan wanted to help, but was rejected by Liu Ru, and it was easy to become a free body, if he still came forward to manage these, he would inevitably be looked down upon, and if he didn't make a good fuss, he thought that Dong Xiaowan was still redoing his old business, which was not good for his reputation.
So Liu Ru left, but everyone else stayed in the room.
"What does Zhou Gongzi think will be the result of this poetry and wine meeting?" But it was Bai who broke the silence and opened his mouth to ask.
"The result? I'm afraid it's just a laughing stock......" Zhou Shaoyu shook his head and said his own analysis.
Previously, it was said that he would fund the poetry and wine meeting, but in the end, Liu Ru took out his own body to organize it. Rao is a lot of places do not need to spend money, but it is still a lot of expenses, and it is not good, and the silver taels raised in the end are even worse than the expenses of the poetry club.
"And the next question just now, in fact, it is just deliberate, even if the merchant is allowed to enter? The people of Shilin are reluctant to donate or even donate, as businessmen, how dare they take the lead? The so-called breaking the prefect of the family and destroying the county order, those businessmen want to live their lives smoothly, and it is too late to scold them, how can they do such an offending act. ”
Hearing this, Dong Xiaowan sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity, it's rare to have such a grand event." ”
But no, there are already a large number of very famous people who have said that they will attend, and as for the scholars with the name of talents, there are even more of them. In addition, there are many officials. In any case, in Shilin, this matter is definitely a grand event.
And the reason why Dong Xiaowan sighs is simple, although she has experienced a lot of things and is relatively mature in her thinking, she is still a relatively innocent and romantic girl in some aspects, such as liking to travel in the mountains and rivers, and also likes to appreciate poetry, calligraphy and painting.
Of course, there is no need to be sentimental.
Lin Daiyu's funeral flowers in the Red Mansion are well known, and this story alone shows Lin Daiyu's temperament to the fullest. However, the fact is that Lin Daiyu is just fiction after all, and in reality, the real person who buried the flowers is Dong Xiaowan!
"A false event is just a loft in the sky, don't do it." Zhou Shaoyu smiled slightly, but he was thinking about something else in his heart. For example, in the list that has been confirmed to appear, the Venture Frontier Association has come all the way to Jinling to participate.
There are a lot of people who do this, and everyone wants to take this opportunity to show their faces, and if they can be appreciated and affirmed, their reputation is appropriate.
Therefore, the content of the gossip during this period of time is that Dong Xiaowan was first redeemed by an unknown man to pay off foreign debts. Later, it was covered by Chen Yuanyuan's disappearance, and then there was a sensational poetry club in Jiangnan.
On the day of the poetry meeting, it was still early to leave, but the mansion was fully prepared.
The scholars could be late, but the prostitutes who had promised to attend did not.
Wang Wei, Li Shi Niang, Zheng Tuo Niang...... One by one, famous prostitutes arrived in advance and were temporarily placed in a room to rest, well, including ......
Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing!!
Zhou Shaoyu's face is called a strange one, it is true that these two have already been hooked up by Zhou Shaoyu, but if they can't stand it according to the Ming time, they don't even know each other.
Moreover, if it weren't for himself, this Laoshizi Poetry Club would definitely not appear, in other words, neither Li Xiangjun nor Bian Yujing would attend such a sudden poetry meeting.
Not...... It's okay to meet.,It feels weird.,Wait until you go back.,Ask these two girls if they have any impressions.,Curious!
With such an idea, Zhou Shaoyu took Xiao Qiao, Chen Yuanyuan, and Bai Dong Xiaowan's mother and daughter into the room next to the venue in advance.
After a while, I didn't expect the door to be pushed open, but I saw a woman walk in, saw the situation in the house, and smiled: "Huh? Didn't the concubine go to the wrong room? This son is so blessed to have such a stunning company by his side. ”
!!!
Not to mention a few girls, even Zhou Shaoyu is a little confused, generally speaking, the ancient women that Zhou Shaoyu came into contact with are basically ladylikes, and some have other temperaments, which also gradually appeared after the beam.
If it's an ordinary girl, go to the wrong room, you must quickly apologize and beg for forgiveness, and you still feel uneasy if you don't make trouble. And this one, a good fellow, didn't care at all at all, and was very familiar with talking.
Before he had time to take a closer look, he saw Dong Xiaowan standing up and said uncertainly: "Dare to ask, I don't know if it's Mrs. Bo from Meilou?" ”
Meilou? Mrs. Bo? Gu Hengbo Gu Meisheng!?
Zhou Shaoyu looked confused, this way of meeting, ha, really exceeded his expectations.
Qin Huai Bayan, everyone is beautiful and talented, so they are highly sought after. But in the end, everyone has their own characteristics, but when it comes to the most individual, I don't have to say it, it's Gu Mei!
The other seven people are all involuntarily, only Liu Ru is the most free because of her specialness. But Gu Hengbo is different, because this girl is an old bustard herself!
That's right, don't look at her as only nineteen, but the Meilou located in Taoyedu is her property. Precisely, perhaps it should be said, one of the bosses. So this girl is very free, and there is not much restraint at all. Who let the family be cultivated by an old bustard when they were young.
Some people may think that Gu Hengbo's position is more likely to be coerced, because some people will use some means because they like his appearance.
In fact, it is not the case, any industry has its set of rules at any time, just at this time, visiting the Qinglou or something, it is an elegant thing, among which those who have both talent and appearance and are good at dancing with long sleeves are also more likely to be sought after.
Just imagine, a famous prostitute who is sought after by everyone, but suddenly the news came out that he was forcibly occupied by someone alone! Fog grass, why can't you scold you? Do you want a reputation? Do you want to be promoted and make a fortune?
So except for the kind of brainless, no one will be stupid and unscrupulous to use prostitutes. Not to mention the existence of Gu Hengbo, the group of regulars who claim to be Meilou customers, that is quite a lot.
Of course, it's one thing not to dare to force it, but it is inevitable that there will be some entertainment, which is also unavoidable, and Gu Hengbo is a veteran here, who advances and retreats freely, and has proper self-protection skills.
Of course, the most commendable thing is her unique character.
