Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 5: Pinghu Qiuyue
50 two!
Yang Chao couldn't help being shocked, this is a huge sum of money, his father is a skilled blacksmith, but he may not be able to earn 50 taels in ten years.

The yard of my own home is full of no more than 20 taels.Moreover, the Ming Dynasty could buy and sell people. For 50 taels of silver, you can buy two young women to go home and do whatever you want.

But now seeing Liu Rushi alone, the scholar is willing to pay 50 taels, Yang Chao can only sigh: Liu Rushi's worth is really high!

At the same time, it explained that the scholar in front of him was definitely not an ordinary son of a wealthy businessman, but a local tyrant.I just asked for ten taels of silver, and I didn't have the confidence in my heart, but when someone else asked for it, it was 50 taels.But this money is not earned in vain, and the more the better.

"Okay, just 50 taels of silver, I promise to send your young master to meet Liu Rushi!"

Yang Chao took care of everything.

Hu Quan was shocked, 50 taels of silver turned into ten pigs and ran wildly in his heart.

"Brother Yang, we met a fat sheep!"

After the shock, Hu Quan couldn't help but lament his luck.It was so lucky to meet such a fat sheep all at once.

The book boy looked at it coldly, still showing disbelief, but he didn't care if the young master said 50 taels would be 50 taels.

Yang Chao knew what Hu Quan was thinking, so he didn't explain it. He just asked, "Brother Hu, can you bring a pen and paper?"

Hu Quan lowered his voice and said, "What do you want a pen for? I'm the same as you. Whoever brings a pen when you go out. And just put on a show, and ask for the money first."

Scholars like Hu Quan and Yang Chao don't take reading seriously at all, so they don't wear pens and paper on their bodies.

At this time, the book boy suddenly said, "I have a pen and paper."

After speaking, he took out a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket.As a book boy, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are often carried with him, so that the owner can splash ink immediately when he is interested.

The pen was used, and the nib was soaked with black ink, but it was dry.

Without hesitation, Yang Chao put the tip of the pen in his mouth and licked it on his tongue.

Those who have never eaten ink do not know that ink is actually sweet.

Then Yang Chao spread out the paper. It was high-quality rice paper, ink-absorbing and layered.Yang Chao immediately wrote down a few lines.

Yang Chao's handwriting is not brilliant, nor is it too bad.

Watching Yang Chao writing, Hu Quan was stunned suddenly, because he couldn't see from Yang Chao's appearance that he was trying to deceive others, he only had a serious expression. Could it be that Yang Chao really planned to help the scholar go in to see Liu Rushi?But how is this possible, they couldn't even see Liu Rushi even if they wanted to, how could it be possible to bring a wealthy businessman from other places to see him.

Hu Quan couldn't help being curious, wondering what Yang Chao was going to do.

This is when Yang Chao finished writing, and began to gently fold the paper, and then tore it into a neat, letter-sized sheet.

Then he said to Hu Quan who was stunned by the side: "Brother Hu, do you have any broken silver?"

Hu Quan has been standing by the side, staring blankly at Yang Chao, curious in his heart.At this moment, he suddenly heard Yang Chao asking himself, and nodded his head in a strange way.Then I regretted it, and reluctantly took out my pocket money.

"So much?"

Yang Chao weighed it, and the broken silver that Hu Quan gave was two silver beans the size of mung beans, which didn't even add up to a penny.

Hu Quandao: "That's all!"

Hu Quan's heart ached, if he didn't want to see how Yang Chao saw a famous prostitute like Liu Rushi, he wouldn't have brought it out if he was beaten to death.

"Give!"

At this time, the book boy handed over a large silver nugget with a cold expression on his face.

A local tyrant is a local tyrant, even the school boy is such a stinky fart.

Yang Chao slandered, took the money without hesitation, and said coldly, "Deduct from my tooth money."

In the Ming Dynasty, there were various tooth shops, which were the middlemen responsible for introducing various businesses. These middlemen were called Yazi, and the commission they received was called Yaqian.Yang Chao helps people meet famous prostitutes, which can be regarded as a dental business, but it is the most notorious prostitution business, which will be called pimping in later generations.

"No need. Just let our son see Miss Liu. This money is your reward."

The book boy is still stinky.

Yang Chao hummed: "No, business is business, one size is one size, and it must be deducted."

Yang Chao also knew that his behavior was not good, but for the sake of money, he fought hard.But he didn't want to eat the food that came from him, and he didn't want to take the reward from the book boy, especially the book boy's condescending attitude, which made people disgusted.

After Yang Chao finished speaking, before the book boy could refute, he had already walked to the door of Meixiang Building and knocked on the door.

Soon a young man opened the door, the young man looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, some of the young men in the brothel were in charge of odd jobs, some were in charge of thugs, but they all had the same name - Mr. Turtle!
"Xiansi, please send a letter. It must be delivered to Miss Liu. It must be said that it is from Mr. Zhou."

Guigong is an unpleasant name, usually a scornful name. Yang Chao needed Guigong’s help at this time, so he didn’t dare to call Guigong, but called the more elegant “Xiansi” and gave him two silver beans at the same time.

Mr. Gui weighed the weight. Although it was only one point, it was not too little if it was just a letter. Then he took the folded paper in Yang Chao's hand.

"Wait!"

After Mr. Gui said something, he was about to close the door again.

Yang Chao suddenly said: "Wait a minute, Sisi!"

Yang Chao called Mr. Gui to stop.

"What's the matter?"

Mr. Turtle asked.

Yang Chao cautioned, "Xiao Si, borrow a hole flute for me before delivering the letter. I will be thankful after it is done!"

As Yang Chao said, he raised the silver in his hand, saw the greedy eyes of Xun Si, and swallowed at the same time, a penny is not a small coin to these young men

Meixianglou is not an ordinary Goulan. Although it is also a brothel business, the prostitutes here are all elegant prostitutes. They are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Naturally, there is no shortage of musical instruments. A hole flute is not difficult to find. Thank you Yang Chao Under the promise, Mr. Gui has no reason to refuse.

Mr. Gui nodded: "Wait."

Soon Mr. Gui came out again, took out an exquisite hole flute, handed it to Yang Chao, and told him that it belonged to the girl in the building, and asked Yang Chao to return it as soon as he finished using it.

Yang Chao naturally agreed.

Then let Mr. Gui go to deliver the letter.

Yang Chao hoped that when Liu Rushi read this letter, his emotions would be full of worry. At that time, women were the most sentimental, the most vulnerable, and the most easily moved.

The door of Meixiang Building was closed again.

Only then did Yang Chao put the hole flute to his lips, and slowly closed his eyes to calm down.

It wasn't until his mind became clear and he forgot about things and himself that Yang Chao slowly started playing.

A hole flute, "Pinghu Qiuyue", is bright and smooth at times, indifferent and distant at times, and illusory at times. Even Hu Quan, who doesn't know the rhythm, starts to listen quietly.

Yang Chao has heard of Liu Rushi's fame in later generations. He is a very famous poet and poet. He has a high level of culture and naturally understands rhythm.

Moreover, such women often have a petty bourgeois sentiment, with a soft and tough heart, but sentimental.

In a word, it can be concluded that educated women are people of temperament.

Such a person, as long as there is a touch in his heart, he can do anything.

A scholar can be so infatuated, standing outside Liu Rushi's window for so many days, it is impossible for Liu Rushi to remain indifferent.

At this time, Liu Rushi might be in a certain room upstairs across the wall, thinking that the infatuated young man outside the building was looking at his window.

It's a woman, and it's absolutely impossible not to be touched by a man who treats her like this.

Maybe it's just a moment of cruelty, if it can move her, touch her heart in an instant, although it is impossible to make Liu Rushi promise something to this idiot, but it is not difficult to meet him once.

Yang played very seriously, with a peaceful heart, as if there was a round of bright moon shining on the big lake, and the breeze blowing slowly, wrinkled a pool of autumn water.

This piece is called "Pinghu Autumn Moon", which is a masterpiece of Guangdong music masters hundreds of years later. It is a famous piece in Cantonese opera music. , Yang ** played very well, with a touch of sadness.
