Chapter 58

The news that the Zhao family's nephew became an official and was going to recruit soldiers in Zhou Baihu's office spread throughout the city the next day.

There was an endless stream of visitors in front of Zhao's house, which made Zhao Lei experience the feeling of being a hundred households for the first time.

In the past, whenever there was a vacancy in the imperial mausoleum, everyone would push on the gate of Zhou's house like this.

Zhao Lei talked about the salaries for recruiting soldiers. After two renminbi a month, some people think it is good, while others think it is too little.

Most people are holding a wait-and-see attitude. They don’t think two coins are too much or too little, but they are worried whether it will really be sent to them, and they are not in a hurry when they hear that they will recruit a hundred people. Want to see how others do it.

……

Nanshi Building.

More than a month has passed since the last gathering, and Kang Hui still returned to Nanshilou.

As if nothing had happened, Kang Hui was still an inconspicuous tortoise in the Nanshi building.

Every day I do the things of welcoming and sending, flattering, not retaliation when scolded, not retaliation when beaten.

The days have returned to the ordinary days before. When I have free time, I can listen to the girls practicing piano and singing, and listen to "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" told by Mr. Rushu.

It seems that I have never done a rally attended by a famous person, it seems that I have never lived a life of spending money without blinking.

The more he recalled the things he did with Yang Chao, Wang Xiao and Hu Quan in those days, the more Kang Hui felt that the life in Nanshilou was simply tasteless!
The rally has been over for a long time, people remember many people, they remember Qinhuai courtesan, Ruan Dacheng, Yang Chao, but no one remembers Kang Hui.

Kang Hui didn't think it was unfair, he didn't feel that Yang Chao had sucked away all his fame, if there was another chance like this, he would still be willing to participate, even if he didn't get anything, just the feeling of doing something great was enough make him content.

What's more, Yang Chao really gave him 50 taels of silver, and Kang Hui saved the money carefully.

His mother is old and can't take customers anymore. She spends all day helping people wash and mend in the backyard of Nanshi Building.

Kang Hui wanted to redeem his mother, even if the bustard wanted 300 taels of silver, he would still have to redeem her.

But he regretted what he would do. When he was a child, he learned the huqin, the pipa, the flute, the flute, and the pipe, but he didn't succeed in any of them.

He wanted to learn storytelling from Liu Jingting, not only because he liked it, but also because although Liu Jingting was a storyteller, he made a lot of money.

Just redeeming his mother to be a prostitute was just the purpose of Kang Hui in the past. Now Kang Hui feels as if a window has been opened in his heart to see a more exciting and vast scenery. He is satisfied.

For a moment, Kang regretted that the life in Nanshi Building was not only tasteless, but also a kind of torment.

He wants to do big things.

I really want to be like Yang Chao and do big things like Wang Xiao.

He admired Yang Chao and Wang Xiao very much, and this gathering opened his eyes.

In Qinhuai River Zhifen Lane, it is a crazy idea to elect a chief minister of the dynasty, but it happened to be realized.

This idea was proposed by Yang Chao.

Kang Hui's memory of Yang Chao's performance at the rally was still fresh in Kang Hui's memory. In such a big rally, there was such a serious change. The Great Wenzong Qian Qianyi turned his back on the spot and left the stage. Yang Chao managed to stabilize the situation and let most people They all stayed, and finally enough money was raised.

Afterwards, Kang Hui felt scared when he thought about it. If Yang Chao hadn't controlled the situation at that time, the meeting would have ended in an instant.

Will those wealthy businessmen still pay?
Although those rich businessmen have already discussed and are willing to donate, but if they don’t get their promise at the rally, when they go home and see the breakup between Donglin and Fushe the next day, would the rich businessmen still be willing to invest? Are you still willing to trust Zhang Pu?

So it was very necessary for these wealthy businessmen to agree to donate money at that time, and even to ask several people to show their votes at that time.

And that's what Yang Chao did at the time. In fact, Yang Chao's control at that time saved the rally.

Apart from Yang Chao, Kang Hui also admires Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao does things with ease, doing everything so easily.

And can always seek great benefits for themselves.

Although Yang Chao organized the rally this time, it was probably Wang Xiao who got the most benefit.

The Wang family's business in Nanjing has never been successful, because they are foreigners, even if they invest a lot of money, the shop is not warm.

This time, Wang Xiao established a relationship with seven or eight luxury merchants in Nanjing through a meeting. Obviously, the development of the Wang family in Nanjing in the future will be different from before, and it will be easy to integrate into the wealthy merchant circle in Nanjing.

That's not to mention, when the funds were raised, Wang Xiao saw further benefits, and actively planned to help Zhang Pu operate the funds, gained Zhang Pu's friendship, and followed them to Beijing.

Wang Xiao can also leave a good impression on people, making him admire and envy him, but at the same time, he can't afford to feel jealous.

Wang Xiao was always saying good things about others and praising his friends. Kang Hui learned many unknown stories about Yang Chao from Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao praised Yang Chao for his literary talent, and Kang Hui had heard about it. Although Yang Chao hadn't written a few poems, a few ditties were sung in brothels, especially the long song sung by Li Xiangjun this time. Poetry, Kang Hui felt that sooner or later it would become popular all over Jiangnan.

Wang Xiao also praised Yang Chao for his quick wit.Yang Chao gave Wang Xiao an idea, asking him to invite the monks in the temple to celebrate Shi Kefa's mother's birthday, help him build a carriage, and invite the "Tathagata to worship birthday", Kang Hui also heard about it from Wang Xiao.

In comparison, Kang Hui felt that he admired Yang Chao more.

Because he knew him well since he was a child, he knew that Yang Chao, like him, had no background and was just a craftsman.

But just because of each idea, those ideas are a little bit more than others think, but they can be unexpected, wonderful, and amazing.

But Wang Xiao's family has a lot of money, obviously he can't learn it.

He can only learn from Yang Chao, Yang Chao only thinks a little more than others, but there is a world of difference, he regrets why he can't think a little more than others.

He has nothing, he is not proficient in anything, he grew up in a brothel.

The only thing he is familiar with is the brothel.

I couldn't help but looked up at the Nanshi Building, the lights were just coming up, the three-story building was decorated with lights and festoons, hundreds of red girls, groups of servants and maidservants, if he regretted this building, then he could be regarded as a high-ranking man. The characters on the table.

……

Early the next morning, Yang Chao wanted to go to Nanshilou.

Wang Xiao has been walking for more than a month. From Jiangnan to Beijing, it only takes a month to go back and forth by the canal.

In addition to the time of operation in Beijing, if it goes well, it is almost time to come back.

So I went to Nanshilou to ask every now and then.

Just when he opened the door, he saw Kang Hui waiting outside the door early in the morning.

Yang Chao couldn't help being overjoyed: "Brother Kang! I was about to look for you, but you fell down. But Wang Xiao is back?"

Kang Hui came to him because he was concerned about Wang Xiao's situation, and Yang Chao guessed that he came to deliver a letter to him.

Kang Hui shook his head with a dignified expression, "Brother Yang, I have something to discuss."

Seeing Kang Hui's appearance, Yang Chao couldn't help but gasp, it was the first time he saw this kid look so serious.

Nodded: "Let's talk in the room then."

As he spoke, he invited Kang Hui into the room.

Kang Hui said, "Brother Yang, I just ask one question."

Yang Chao said, "What are you talking about?"

Kang Hui's face was a little swollen, and he said with a heavy breath, "Little brother wants to ask what you said last time, does it still count?"

Yang Chao wondered, "What are you talking about?"

He had said many things to Kang Hui, but he didn't know which one made this little turtle so serious.

Kang Hui said: "Brother Yang said, let me open a brothel!"

Yang Chao opened his mouth and closed it again, obviously he was also surprised.
