Chapter 41
Liu Tingting's affairs were an episode of the dinner, and everyone laughed and laughed. I was drinking and chatting with Zhu Runze and Liu Qingfeng. Brother Zhu saw that he was not an ordinary family, so why didn't he drink and chat with those dandy nobles? He just chatted with us little fish and shrimps. Zhu Runze said, "Look at those people's clothes are so bright that they are all the same. I'm here just to take a study, critical appreciation attitude. Look at the fat young man in blue, the baby son of Li Sijin, the first salt merchant in Beijing.
Li Sijin was as thin as a bamboo pole. It is said that he weighed only four kilograms when he was born. His parents thought it was difficult to support him and almost threw him on the roadside. As a result, Li Sijin is now one of the top ten richest people in the capital. His son is also famous for spending a lot of money. His father is the representative of the typical Ming Meng. In the Ming Dynasty, if he is willing to make progress and work hard, he will have the opportunity to make a name for himself. This is the Ming Meng. He gives poor scholars the opportunity to be a first-rank official and let beggars on the roadside be rich. As long as this road is not blocked, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner.
Liu Qingfeng said loudly, "I saw a temperament in Brother Zhu."
Zhu Runze asked with a smile, what temperament?
Liu Qingfeng said that it is the legendary turtle spirit.
Zhu Runze laughed, turtle-god spirit! If I achieve my imperial career in the future, you must be a slander. Liu Qingfeng said, "I don't want to be an official. You see, how hard it is to be an official, you don't think about being an official. You don't have to say all kinds of assessments, there are eight regulations, and the three strict and three real ones. Every day, you must be careful when you come to Hongguang Tower for a meal, for fear of being caught by the Jinyiwei, wearing an official hat, and not even sleeping properly. How hard it is. Zhu Runze said, that's because you haven't tasted the happiness brought by power. Liu Qingfeng said I think I'm very happy now, with nearly two taels of silver per month, wanting to eat, wanting to drink, wanting to sleep. Zhu Runze smiled and shook his head.
Su Wanqing appeared. As the number one socialite in the capital, she deserves to be of outstanding charm. She gave a dance to the people present, which attracted many praises and various rewards. A certain young master rewarded a piece of Ruyi, and a certain boss rewarded ten taels of gold to wish everyone a happy birthday, and a happy birthday to everyone Su, etc., without any details.
After a few moments of social engagement, Su Wanqing came to our table and I quickly got up. Miss Su was bright and charming tonight, and it was very exciting. She said that I gave Su Wanqing the small gift I brought. The gift was not expensive, and it was a pair of clay men Zhang Nain from Tianjin clay man, which was lifelike. Su Wanqing took a look and accepted it with a smile. Thank you for spending money. Zhu Runze said that since everyone has gifts, I feel embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing. In this way, this jade pendant is the jewelry I have been with me for many years. I have been with me for some time. If I don’t dislike it, I will give it to everyone Su. Liu Qingfeng didn’t prepare the gift, so she smiled awkwardly and pulled Zhu Runze to drink.
Su Wanqing said, the sisters I introduced to you may be late for a while. I said it was okay, and then I chatted with Su Wanqing every word. Of course, they were all interesting things when the Taishan School learned martial arts and swordsmanship together. Su Wanqing suddenly asked, Brother Qin, what are your plans for the future in the capital? I said I had no plans, so I wanted to take root in the Central Plains Escort Agency, and then ask for a wife to make money to support the family.
Su Wanqing sighed and said, when he was studying in the Taishan School, you were the most talented, smartest and most dedicated among all our fellow brothers and sisters, but after coming to the capital, I found that you have changed.
I laughed, was it because I changed, or did you change?
Su Wanqing said, I have never changed. When I was studying art in Mount Tai, you were very crazy and proud. Many people envied you. As a junior sister, I admired you very much. But after I came here, I saw you again, but I lost that kind of spirit. When I was in Mount Tai, I always felt that you looked down on me, and I always wanted to prove it to you. After becoming a teacher, you came to Beijing and I also came to Beijing. The city is a big dye vat, mixed with fish and dragons, but it also gave us a platform full of opportunities. In addition to practicing sword dance, I also worked hard to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learned various skills. In addition to being not good at governing the country, I have learned all kinds of skills. This is why I was in Beijing.
The opportunity to make a name for themselves. I work hard every day, integrate myself into this social circle, and deal with men of all kinds. I admit that I am a little pretty, but compared to some other sisters, I am more favourable than them. Whatever Chanel or Alushi gold and silver jewelry they receive will show off, and I will only use them as souvenirs in the house, and no matter what kind of drunkenness, I will practice every day. I have never been tired of it. When I was in the Taishan School, I thought it would be a blessing for me to marry a man like you in the future, but now I feel that you are gradually drifting away from the man in my mind.
I was silent for a while and said, "You are now successful, the number one courtesan in the capital, and I, Qin Sanguan, are just an optional small character in the Central Plains Escort Agency. Of course I can't deserve you."
Su Wanqing said, are you wrong, succeed? I've just started the road.
Then how do you define success?
A man succeeds, becomes a first-rank official, and is named a Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses, and is one of the top ten masters in the world, and has a wealth of 10 million yuan. Any one of them is considered successful.
Zhu Runze appeared beside him at some point, clapping his hands and laughing, "Miss is such a wonderful person."
Su Wanqing smiled and praised His Highness Xie.
Liu Qingfeng, who was eating osmanthus cake on the side, almost failed to get up and was choked to death by the pastry when he heard this.
At this time, a young woman came here. Sister Su, you are here?
Su Wanqing calmed down and smiled and took the woman's hand and said, Come on, Sister Ji, this is Qin Sanguan, my fellow senior brother from the Taishan School. Senior Brother Sanguan, this is Ji Xin, my good sister.
I held my fists and bowed repeatedly, Hello Miss Ji.
Ji Xin said that this young man is handsome and talented, so why not let his sister have a drink of Hehua wine with you?
Su Wanqing coughed repeatedly, Ji Xin's face turned red, sorry, Brother Qin, you have a career illness, don't be surprised.
Liu Qingfeng leaned into my ear and said, "If you marry this sister-in-law, you probably won't have to fertilize the farm." What do I say, Liu Qingfeng secretly said that he must be green on his head."
