Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

Half a month ago, after Bai Shu sent someone to injure Si Qinghu, he heard from Xiao Tong outside a book shop that if Si Qinghu's injury did not recover until Qixi Festival, the performance of "Mulan" would be postponed.

After returning, he bought 200 people to buy tickets for "Mulan". He didn't believe that Si Qinghu's injury would recover in about ten days!

Two days before Qixi Festival coincided with the birthday party of Mrs. Chu Guogong, he went in to celebrate her birthday, and ordered his servants to send those 200 people with the postponed tickets to make a fuss outside Xiao's Dental Shop on the night of Qixi Festival, demanding compensation!

Thinking that he would be able to see Xiao Tong's jokes when he came back, when he was happy, he got drunk at Duke Chu's mansion, and someone took him home last night.It was almost noon when he woke up, and he opened his arms to let the maid dress him in bright blue embroidered clothes.

He yawned and said, "Did Xiao's Dental Shop agree to pay the compensation?"

The young maid glanced at Bai Shu knowingly, then lowered her head again, pretending to concentrate on dressing him.

When Baishu sent the housekeeper to buy the tickets for "Mulan" that day, a group of maidservants thought that they would also rest on the night of Qixi Festival anyway, so they might as well join in and grab a copy, so that they could serve the head of the family and go to Xiao's Trouble outside the tooth shop.

So I also received a ticket fee from the housekeeper.

Unexpectedly, "Mulan" was staged as scheduled, and Si Qinghu played it for nearly two hours.

The most important thing was that she still thought it was pretty good, and she was very happy to watch such a wonderful drama for free, so when Bai Shu asked, she was so guilty that she didn't dare to speak out.

The dumb maidservant looked like a dumb person when she asked questions, Bai Shu didn't even bother to scold her.

At this moment, the housekeeper hurried in with a panicked expression, "Master Bai."

"What's the matter, did Xiao Silang pay for it? If he doesn't pay, he will send half of the people to the government to make trouble!" Bai Shu said.

Finding someone to go to the government to make trouble, this kind of thing is really handy for him.

It was not a big deal when the geisha of Xiao's family broke up suddenly, and those geisha who performed acrobatics even lost one of them to death from time to time.It was he who planned the family of the geisha to go to the government to make trouble, and sent Xiao Silang's father and daughter to the prison, and then the Duke of Chu poisoned Xiao Silang's father to death in prison.

The head of the family was gone, and Xiao's Dental Shop was in a state of panic. He simply did nothing, bought Xiao's geisha to go to the government to make trouble, asked Xiao's to pay compensation and terminate the contract, and completely defeated them.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family went bankrupt and rescued the dying Xiao Tong from prison under the eyes of Duke Chu.After he came out, Xiao Silang seemed to be a different person. He even persuaded Si Qinghu to join him, and insisted on bringing Xiao Shiya back to life.

After paying so much and seeing all previous efforts in vain, Bai Shu couldn't swallow this breath, this time no matter what, he must teach Xiao Silang a lesson!

Seeing the housekeeper's face became troubled, he hesitated for a while before carefully saying: "Master, Xiao Silang's opera was staged last night."

"what?"

Bai Shu's eyes widened in shock, his body trembled suddenly, almost jumping up in fright.

The housekeeper lowered his head, and said again: "A lot of people came outside, they said yes... they said they came to thank you for inviting them to watch opera."

Bai Shu was furious, and walked out quickly, and the housekeeper quickly followed.

The maid covered her mouth and smiled behind her.

Nearly 200 people gathered outside the gate of Baifu, and Baishu trembled with anger when he came out to see their joy.

A dark-skinned, shirtless, muscular man with thick arms greeted the white tree and smiled beamingly: "Master Bai, the Mulan you invited us to see is so beautiful. We have never been in the fence before. This is the first time I have seen such a wonderful opera, you are such a kind person, thank you!"

The others also echoed him, smiling and bowing to Bai Shu, "Thank you Master Bai!"

Bai Shu's face was overcast, panting heavily, and said to the steward beside him, "Can you still ask them to return the silver taels?"

The housekeeper looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid..."

That group of people are all dressed in coarse linen and sackcloth, they are the bottom of the society who have eaten their last meal, and they are all rascals in the market. They are all tall and strong, and their faces are like gods. of.If they were asked to return the money, the White Mansion would probably be demolished!

Bai Shu was so angry that his face was as white as a corpse, he clutched his chest, panting heavily, and let out a shrill cry from his throat, and said weakly: "Xiao Silang..."

Before he could curse, his body fell back!

……

"What, he has asthma?"

When Xiao Tong heard the news that Bai Shu was so angry that he had an asthma attack and fainted in front of his house, he was in the accounting office, calculating the box office revenue of "Mulan".

Xiao Zhen stood in front of her and looked at her angrily, "Grandma told me to tell you, do business more prudently, don't make people mad again!"

Xiao Tong looked innocent, "I didn't do it!"

"You still argue, didn't you call those people?"

The lie was exposed, and Xiao Tong shrank, pursing his lips and not daring to quibble.

As early as two days ago, he had heard that Baishu sent a gang of hooligans to snatch two hundred tickets for "Mulan" with money, and waited for her to reschedule the performance to go to the government to make trouble.

After the show last night, she saw a man who looked like a street rogue and asked him, it was indeed Bai Shu who invited him to see, so she told him that other people's benefits should not be reaped in vain, you have to take other brothers with you Thank you Mr. Bai.

That's it, that Baishu was so angry that his ancestral asthma broke out!

Back then, Bai Shu's father also quarreled with her father and died of an asthma attack.That's why Jiang shi asked Xiao Zhenlai to discipline her after hearing the news.

Xiao Tong thought of his father dying in prison in vain, and murmured dissatisfied: "It's fine if he dies, I will pay for my father's life."

Xiao Zhen persuaded again: "Grandma said, when did we and the Bai family repay our grievances? She still hopes to find evidence of your father's injustice and punish the Bai family through the law. Instead of our two families playing tricks in private, Fight to the death."

Xiao Tong was trained so obediently that he lost his temper, "Okay, I got it! I will confess my mistake to grandma when I go back!"

Xiao Zhen smiled helplessly, "That's more or less the same!"

Xiao Tong really didn't expect that Bai Shu would be so stupid.She said that the show will be rescheduled, and he really believed it!

Probably because he was overconfident in the person he sent to assassinate Si Qinghu, and Xiao Tong described Si Qinghu's injury in tabloids in a horrific way, which made him really think that Si Qinghu was seriously injured, and it was impossible for him to die on Qixi Festival. Come on stage!

"Mulan" was performed in the Lotus Pavilion for three consecutive nights, and then went to the two medium-sized Goulan that had been agreed upon before.

Because of the wonderful story and excellent performance, the audience who have watched it are full of praise.Through word of mouth, many people who have chased after the novel gritted their teeth and flocked to buy tickets.

And those in the upper class who have spare money read it again and brought their relatives and friends to brush it twice and three times.

Xiao Tong heard from Liang Feifei that many ladies introduced "Mulan" to their friends after returning home, which made them quarrel with their parents and wanted to go out to Goulan to see the handsome Hua Mulan!

If the parents disagree, they will climb over the wall to drill dog holes.

I heard that Chu Guogong's precious little daughter is only 15 years old. After reading the novel "Mulan" in "Bianjing Fenghua", she couldn't control it. I haven't seen the opera version in the past few days. clamoring to see.The Duke of Chu disagreed with life and death, so she climbed up the wall with the servant girl. The Duke of Chu was shocked and sent a group of servants to chase and escort him under the wall. The young lady thought that she would be arrested and punished. In a panic, he ran around the wall like a chicken, but fell down and broke his leg!

After this incident happened, many officials and officials took it as a warning, fearing that their daughter would be disabled by falling, so they dared not stop them from going to the fence.

Other Goulan bosses have caught the trend. This "Mulan" is probably the most popular performance in Bianjing this year, and they have come to discuss cooperation with Xiao Tong.

Large-scale performances for thousands of people, such as nightshade sheds, elephant sheds, and peony sheds, etc., each performance several times in a row, almost all the venues are full, not to mention the small ones with hundreds of people.

After nearly a month of acting, the popularity is still unabated.The gentleman who talks about gossip in Wazi talks about Hua Mulan or Siqing Lake every day, and the onlookers listen with great interest. If he doesn't mention it someday, no one will listen.

Si Qinghu and other geisha performed continuously for nearly a month. Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Xiao Tong stopped arranging performances and rested for two days.

Just in time for Liang Feifei and Zheng Yun's appointment.

They met in Xinmenli, Huixian Restaurant near Xiangguo Temple.

The restaurant is not far from Xiao's Dental Shop. It is a famous big restaurant in Bianjing. There are hundreds of luxurious halls in it, which are also called private rooms in later generations.Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries like to have a bunk inside for gatherings and wealthy businessmen to discuss business, and do business while drinking and eating.

Originally, Xiao Tong planned to let Xiao Yi and Ling'er accompany Si Qinghu to the appointment, but the boss of Goulan invited her to Huixian Restaurant to discuss cooperation, so she left Xiao Yi in the tooth shop and went with Si Qinghu .

Hua Mulan also received a lot of money for the ticket share. Xiao Tong thought that Si Qinghu is now in a position that everyone pays attention to. Xiao's Dental Shop has also regained its former glory and has become a major merchant and Goulan boss vying to make friends. Object.

Their travel style cannot be underestimated.

With a swipe of the pen, Xiao Tong bought a luxury carriage with a vermilion canopy at the tooth shop, raised a two-meter-high brown horse, and hired a coachman.

Xiao Tong, Si Qinghu, and Ling'er were sitting in this newly bought luxurious carriage. The interior of the carriage was spacious and comfortable, and the three of them sat comfortably.

Arriving at the gate of Huixian Restaurant, after they got off the carriage, a handyman from the restaurant instructed the coachman to park the carriage.

The waiter led Xiao Tong, Si Qinghu and the others up the wooden steps to the third floor.

The promenade on the third floor is decorated with lights, one side is a hollow carved door leaf, and the other side is a guardrail, overlooking the diners in the lobby on the first floor.

It was noon, and many people came to eat, and the sound of talking and laughing passed through the door to the corridor.

The person Liang Feifei and Zheng Yun paid for was Si Qinghu, and Xiao Tong didn't want to bother him, watching Si Qinghu enter the private room and walk to the other side of the corridor to discuss his own business.

The door of the private room was open, and Zheng Yun's female guard stood guard at the door, and when she saw Si Qinghu and Ling'er, she bowed and invited them in.

I saw celebrity inscriptions and paintings hung on both sides of the private room, the carved windows were half-opened and half-closed, the bamboo curtains were pulled down, and gorgeous wooden lanterns were hung on the top. The warm yellow light made the whole room resplendent and magnificent. Out of style.

Zheng Yun and Liang Feifei were sitting at the sandalwood round table, and when they saw Si Qinghu, they both stood up politely.

Liang Feifei said excitedly, "Sister Qinghu, you are finally here!"

Today Si Qinghu was wearing an off-white cross-neck wide-sleeve top with blue borders, a lake-blue skirt, and only a pearl hairpin in his hair, looking dignified and orchid-like.

Zheng Yun couldn't help but be surprised by that calm and calm aura.

Unexpectedly, a geisha who is in the world can also have a temperament like a celestial being.

This attire, coupled with Si Qinghu's desolate demeanor, in Liang Feifei's eyes, she could not be too handsome, her eyes narrowed into stars, she looked like a fan girl.

"Sister Qinghu looks so pretty in this outfit!"

Si Qinghu was well aware of his status as a geisha, and the people in front of him were all officials' ladies, so there was a difference in dignity, so he bowed first.

Zheng Yun nodded, and said with a smile: "Two years ago, I heard that there was a Siqing Lake in the market, with an elegant temperament, like an immortal in the sky. Seeing it today, it is really extraordinary!"

Si Qinghu said modestly: "You are too much."

Liang Feifei stepped forward anxiously, pulled Si Qinghu to sit down, and said, "Hey, what are you talking about, I finally saw Sister Qinghu, sit down and have a cup of tea!"

After speaking, Liang Feifei poured a cup of tea for Si Qinghu.

Zheng Yun subconsciously glanced at the closed door, and said, "Just now, my servant seems to have seen Mrs. Xiao outside the door, why is she missing?"

Si Qinghu smiled and said: "Master Xiao came to the next door to discuss cooperation, so he and the slave family dropped by and came together."

"I see."

Looking at Zheng Yun, Si Qinghu sensitively caught a flash of disappointment in her moist peach eyes.

Liang Feifei sat next to Si Qinghu. When ordering food, she chirped like a lively bird and asked Si Qinghu if she wanted this or that. I ordered twelve dishes and one soup.

While eating, he kept adding vegetables to Si Qinghu's bowl.

"Come on, sister Qinghu, have a piece of soft mutton, and some braised sea bass."

Si Qinghu's kindness was unstoppable. Looking at the bowl in front of him, which was full, he couldn't help pressing Liang Feifei's hand, "Feifei is enough, you should hurry up and eat too!"

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Li Yu strode in with a tired face.

"Feifei, are you all ready? I've searched all over the place!"

Si Qinghu raised his head, Li Yu had already walked beside her, and his eyes fell on her involuntarily.

Although ten years had passed, Li Yu's appearance was very different from when he was a child, but when she appeared in front of him at such a close distance, Si Qinghu was so shocked that his face turned pale.

She went to the appointment after being sure that Li Yu would not show up, why did she run into him?
