Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 371 Chen Yuanyuan

The reason why Tian Hongyu entered the palace early was because of what he just said.

In order to give his daughter a firm favor, Lao Tian has tried his best this time. The eldest son Tian Wan has caused a lot of trouble in the area of ​​Gusu. Criticism.

In the first half of this year, Tian Hongyu accidentally heard that Zhou Hou and his daughter had a bad relationship. Tian Hongyu was very worried that his daughter's silent and stubborn temper would fall out with the main palace, which would cause the emperor to get bored. The entire Tian family was affected.

After thinking hard for a long time, Tian Hongyu decided to send his eldest son Tian Wan to go south with a lot of money. He found a stunning beauty in the south of the Yangtze River and sent her back. In order to help my daughter solidify her favor.

Tian Hongyu was famous for being good at doing business when he was the general manager in Yangzhou in his early years, and the daily life of Tian's family was also very prosperous.

Since her daughter married into Prince Xin's Mansion as a side concubine, and after Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, she was named imperial concubine, the Tian family moved to the capital, and the business under her name also expanded from south to north.

After the situation has improved in the past few years, Zhu Youjian has also been very kind to the family members in the harem, allowing them to participate in some businesses of the Four Seas Trading Company. Coupled with Tian Hongyu's good management, the wealth of the Tian family is also growing exponentially every year. .

Of course Tian Hongyu knew who the Tian family relied on, so he sent his family members into the palace from time to time and sent a lot of money to his daughter. Zhu Youjian was naturally very clear about this.

On this point, Tian Hongyu's approach is in stark contrast to Zhou Kui, who is greedy for money and stingy.

Zhu Youjian also had a good impression of Tian Hongyu, who was generous and generous, and promoted him to the position of Zuo Dudu, the first rank. The family is also an existence that no one dares to underestimate in the capital.

Not long after Tian Wan went south under the order of his father, he found out through business relationships that there was a beautiful and peerless beauty in Taohuawu outside Gusu City, who often appeared on the stage in Suzhou Liyuan. The sound of groaning, and the six horses leaning on the horses" is famous for moving Jiangzuo.

The woman's surname is Chen and her name is Yuanyuan. She was born in a shopkeeper's family. Because her mother died early, her stepmother would not tolerate her after her biological father succeeded her, so she lived in her uncle's family to be raised.

But when he was about ten years old, he was already beautiful and charming, and he was admired by many men, and even the women in the village were jealous of him.

Later, his uncle sold it to the Liyuan because of his greed for money. In a few years, with his peerless appearance and opera talent, he created a great reputation in Wujiang area.

It is said that many local tyrants and country gentry wanted to spend huge sums of money to bring it into their homes, including the famous Zou family and Gong family in Wujiang area.

After inquiring about all this, Tian Wan immediately set off and rushed to Suzhou Mansion, and after finding out the day when Chen Yuanyuan took the stage, he came to Taohuawu on that day.

Tian Hongyu was very fascinated by operas. After moving to the capital, he also kept a troupe at home for his family's entertainment. Tian Wan was also quite expert in this art after being influenced by his ears and eyes since he was a child.

As soon as Chen Yuanyuan appeared on the stage, Tian Wan was attracted by his outstanding appearance, and after he opened his mouth to sing, he was even more fascinated by his beautiful voice and elegant appearance.

After appreciating Chen Yuanyuan's performance attentively, Tian Wan gave a huge reward of 100 taels of silver in public, which aroused the amazement of all the people from Jiangnan who were watching the play, and they all asked who was the second generation ancestor of such a luxurious family. .

When the mother of the theatrical troupe came to express her thanks in person, Tian Wan bluntly put forward the request to redeem Chen Yuanyuan, which also caused a burst of noise and discussion from the Wujiang people who were watching the excitement.

Mother Liu, the owner of the theatrical troupe, also looked embarrassed after hearing Tian Wan's request, and felt embarrassed.

First of all, the current theater troupe earns a lot of money, which is all due to the sensational effect brought by Chen Yuanyuan.

The rich merchants who came to listen to the play always rewarded them with a lot of money at the end of the play, and each of them gave fifty taels of ingots, and the worst was about one tael of silver.

These rewards alone make the entire troupe a huge monthly income, plus the entrance fee, tea, candy and pastries, the troupe earns a lot of money after each performance.

Secondly, the Zou family and the Gong family are both gentry families with great influence in Gusu. The young masters of the two families also fell in love with Chen Yuanyuan. They always come to every performance, rain or shine. And in the end, there will be a lot of rewards.

With the passage of time, these two people also have signs of fighting spirit. Although they will not turn their faces in public, the reward for making a move has risen from the initial five taels to 20 taels to 30 taels, and has been developed to the present. Four 50 taels each time.

While Ms. Liu was overjoyed secretly, she also knew that Chen Yuanyuan would not be able to keep her. Neither the Zou family nor the Gong family could be offended by her. Obediently nodded in agreement.

Now I can only find ways to delay Chen Yuanyuan's departure as long as possible, and ask more about looking for a peerless beauty like her, and then buy it and raise it carefully, maybe it will be another cash cow in the future.

Unexpectedly, besides the Zou family and the Gong family, another master who made a bigger deal suddenly appeared today, and directly proposed the matter of redemption, which made Liu's mother suddenly feel bad.

"This official, I wanted my girl to come and thank you for the reward in person, but Yuanyuan has been unwell for the past few days, and today it is because of the presence of the young masters of the Gong family and the Zou family. It’s better not to teach the two young masters to come back disappointed. Is this honored guest from a province? Mr. Nunu thanked the honored guest for his generous reward. I don’t know where the honored guest stayed first? It’s better to wait a few days for Yuanyuan to recover. How about Nunu bringing her to thank you?"

Mama Liu, who is less than thirty years old and has a very pleasant appearance, bowed to Tian Wan with a smiling face, and then explained.

How could Tian Wan fail to understand the meaning of her words?
The Gong family and the Zou family obviously also fell in love with Chen Yuanyuan, and she was also someone that her troupe could not afford to offend, but Tian Wan was rewarded too generously, so in desperation, Mother Liu could only vaguely point out the way here, hoping that Tian Wan would know After that, I can retreat in the face of difficulties.

"Hehehehe, this mother, to tell you the truth, my father always likes operas, and Yu Yiyang's accent is even more fond of it. The redemption of your daughter was purely out of filial piety, and he just wanted to please my father, not because she was greedy for beauty. I have it myself, when he grows up, a certain family will choose a lover to marry him, and ask his mother to give him a certain face, as for the money, it is easy to talk about!"

After Tian Wan sat on the seat and looked at Mother Liu, he leaned back on the chair and told the fabricated reason for the redemption with a smile.

Before Tian Wan left Beijing to go south, Tian Hongyu specifically asked him not to be too high-profile, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and attract the attention of interested people.

If people are sent to the palace in the future, people will turn over the old accounts and make up some stories about robbing women from the people, which will have a bad impact on the emperor's reputation.

After seeing Chen Yuanyuan, Tian Wan immediately made a decision: Sending such a peerless figure into the palace will definitely win the emperor's favor, and the future of the Tian family will be guaranteed again. This kind of person is like a person in a painting. A woman must never fall into the wrong hands.

It was because of the decision in his heart that Tian Wan found a high-sounding reason, and wanted to buy Chen Yuanyuan away without offending others, so as not to leave a handle for being criticized, otherwise, with his temper, he would have ignored it a long time ago. Regardless of the hard to come.

"Ms. Chen is the beauty of heaven and man. She has always been the pillar of the Gusu Pear Garden and the favorite of the gentry in Wujiang. How can such a wonderful thing be obtained by one family? How can this brother steal the love of everyone for his own selfishness? It's not the behavior of a gentleman! I don't have the spirit of a businessman in Guanxiongtai, so how can my actions be full of the smell of copper?"

Before Liu's mother could answer, a young man wearing a royal blue straight gown with delicate features came slowly, and after standing still not far from Tian Wan, he frowned with his hands behind his back and began to criticize.
