Bachelor

Chapter 159
Today is the opening day of the Ping's Bank run by Ping Qiuli. With Emperor Zhengde's will, Sun Dan doesn't need to go to the palace anymore, and it is rare to have a night of his own.

After coming out of Zhanbu, Sun Dan walked leisurely on the street and ate some dinner casually on the street.The dinner doesn't need to be too delicate, so I randomly ordered two donkey meat and a large bowl of millet porridge, but it was very comfortable to eat.Compared with the so-called imperial meals eaten in the palace, it was extremely delicious.The emperor's diet is really unflattering, and it is comparable to those high-calorie foods in the fast food restaurants of later generations.After eating the long-lost common people's diet, Sun Dan couldn't help but burst into tears.

After dinner and work to do, Sun Dan was not in a hurry to go home, so he went to Zhanbu's theater club to listen to the play.Today's repertoire is "The Story of the White Rabbit by Liu Zhiyuan". There is really nothing to watch, which makes him drowsy.Fortunately, Zhanbu ran over to accompany him, and pointed to a young man of sixteen or seventeen not far away, and whispered to Sun Dan, "That's Guo Xun's son, Guo Zeng."

Hearing what he said, Sun Dan immediately regained his spirits and looked over.

Guo Zeng looks a little malnourished, he is not too tall, and he is also a little thin. He seems a little timid when he speaks and does things, and he is a little timid.It can be seen that there are so many people in the theater that make him a little intimidated.This made Sun Dan frowned unconsciously.With his personality, he can't accomplish anything. If he is relied on to make money in Ping Qiuli, there will probably be some problems.Even being a bad person requires quality.And Guo Zeng is the kind of waste that good people can't do well, and bad people can't do well either.

It's really helpless!
However, as soon as Yue Guan appeared on the stage, the boy's face immediately glowed, as if he had changed into a different person, staring at Yue Guan on the stage with piercing eyes.

Yueguan was dressed in a big Tsing Yi, with a little makeup on, as if he had changed into a different person.When thinking about walking and singing, there is an indescribable charm between looking and looking, which is really full of femininity.Especially when she looked over, it was even more vivid, causing the audience below to hold their breath.

At this time, Sun Dan took a deep breath. This little girl was born for the stage. Although her personal conditions are not very good, when she goes on stage, she is simply possessed by a god.Sun Dan was originally a person who was immune to women, but he couldn't hold back when he was swept by these talking eyes: "This moon official is really good!"

"That's right, she was born with a big Tsing Yi." Zhanbu was a little proud: "It's two different things when you are on the stage and off the stage. Picking girls and actors, if I am the second official, no one in the world will dare to claim it." First. Mr. Sun, you watch first, I'll go socialize."

At this time, the song that Yueguan sang was over, and there was a roar of "Okay!", and Guo Zeng was so excited that his pale face was full of red light.

Sun Dan smiled and let Zhanbu go to work on his own, staring at Guo Zeng intently.

A tall figure appeared in front of Guo Zeng, it was Feng Zhen.

Feng Zhen, dressed as a merchant, lowered his head and talked to Guo Zeng.At the beginning, Guo Zeng seemed impatient, but then he didn't know what Feng Zhen said to him, which made Guo Zeng smile, stood up and asked Feng Zhen to sit beside him.

Sun Dan nodded secretly. Feng Zhen, an old man, has traveled all over the world for so many years, and he has never met any kind of people. It is not easy to deal with Guo Zeng, a child who does not understand the world.This is reassuring.

Sure enough, since they sat down, Feng Zhen and Guo Zeng hadn't stopped talking, and the two seemed very speculative.

I have no interest in traditional drama Sun Dan. After listening to it twice, I just feel sleepy and almost fell asleep.

In the middle of the day, Sun Jia came over, seeing that it was getting late, Sun Dan decided to go home.The two chatted while walking on the street.Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the last day of the Spring Festival, and the city is full of lanterns. Among the bustling crowds, there are a few children laughing loudly and playing with lanterns, and a few fireworks bloom in the sky from time to time.The most prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty is fully revealed tonight.

Sun Jia brought good news: Today, the Lu Family Bank purchased 3 taels of Ping's banknotes in batches.For the next ten days, the same amount of money tickets will be purchased every day.If nothing else, there shouldn't be many Ping's coins in circulation in the market.

"So much!" Sun Dan was a little surprised: "Lu Bing is really rich after mobilizing so much cash all at once!" It seems that Xingwangfu mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to come to Beijing a few months ago, otherwise It is impossible to gather so much cash in a hurry.

"Ten days, 30 taels, such a large amount is enough to squeeze Ping Qiuli seven inches." Sun Dan pondered.

While talking, Feng Zhen walked up quickly.Sun Dan was a little strange and asked, "Aren't you with Guo Zeng? What are you doing here?"

Feng Zhen: "The street is in chaos, I'm not at ease, I'd better come and follow you for peace of mind."

"It's important, it doesn't matter to me." Sun Dan was a little displeased.

Feng Zhen saw that Sun Dan's face was not very good-looking, so he hurriedly explained: "Today is the first time the villain met the Guo family boy. If you get too tight, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion. The future will be long, so don't rush it for a while."

"That's right, by the way, what did you say to Guo today?"

"I didn't say anything, just talked about the Kunqu opera." Feng Zhen scratched his head and laughed, "My lord, when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, I'm good at whoring and betting, but it's a bit embarrassing for me to sing and be an actor. You should find someone else for this matter, it’s really suffocating me.”

Sun Dan was a little annoyed: "When I asked you to make money against Guo Zeng, you promised to beat him up, why don't you say no now?"

"This kid has also studied for several years, and his speech is incomprehensible. I didn't expect it to become like this. But don't worry, Mr. Dan, I didn't show my secrets in front of him. I still told him He said that he knew Yueguan very well, and was going to find a time to invite her to come out to teach opera, and invited the kid from the Guo family to go with him. When that kid heard that Yueguan could teach opera privately, he almost jumped up for joy. Hehe, master, now , you should find me a bigger house to use."

"This matter is easy to handle. Lu Bing has more than a dozen yards in the capital, just ask him to borrow one." Sun Dan nodded, pondering in his heart, asking Feng Zhen, a rough man, to deal with Guo Zeng is an advantage. He, it seems, has to find someone else.But it's a big deal, and it's not appropriate to find an irrelevant person to come over to play the game.

Probably knowing Sun Dan's thoughts, Feng Zhen said: "Master Dan, on the surface I am a wealthy businessman from the south, but if I want to set Guo Zeng up, I can't do it alone, and I need a few helpers. This helper needs to be able to After a few days of reading, to be able to talk to Guo Zeng, you must also understand opera and be able to speak well."

"Understood, I'll think about it when I get down." Sun Dan didn't talk about it anymore, and just walked slowly on the street with Sun Jia.

Feng Zhen and Sun Jia's maid, Feng Xian, consciously lagged behind and followed from a distance.

"That's great!" Sun Jia let out a long breath.

"What a treat!"

"It's nice to come out and walk with you, and I feel much better."

"You run outside all day, aren't you afraid that people in the mansion will know?"

"What are you afraid of, Auntie?" Sun Jia bit her lower lip lightly, looking a little angry: "I support all the expenses in our yard and the expenses of the Jing family. Who dares to blame me? Brothers of the Jing family I have come to Beijing to settle down and live, but I still have to rely on me. My two useless uncles are lazy, and they got 100 taels of silver from me as soon as they came to Beijing. Now they are pestering me to arrange a good one for them. Yingsheng, by the way, I don’t know where they heard that you are a shareholder of the Lu Family Bank and want to find a job in the bank.”

Sun Dan smiled and shook his head: "I dare not use those two precious uncles of yours. By the way, when did they come to the capital?"

Sun Jia: "Yes, I reckon it was my aunt who told them that if you work here, you don't have to do any work, and you can get a lot of money. I was angry in my heart, scolded them, and then ignored them Yes. They came to the capital on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and they have been wandering around the city for ten days, and no one in the manor wants to see them, really embarrassing the Jing family."

Sun Jia's expression was a little sad: "Poorly these two uncles are adults. Together with their wives and children, the two families have to eat and drink more than ten people. They are tired of living in the house all day long. They don't want to talk about their embarrassment, but let their family members accompany them." Disgraceful. They think I, Sun Jia, are some kind of person. They make noises all day long and ask me to find a solution, and they will scold me when things go wrong. I am just a little girl. I beat and kick to maintain my livelihood in the courtyard, but I don't want to please others. "

Sun Dan's heart moved, this Jing family brother is really a dude, such a person is the most suitable target for hurting friends.If they were released, it would take minutes to bring Guo Zeng down.Besides, the two of them have also read books. They can't understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are proficient in playing cockfighting and lackeys.

Sun Dan: "Sun Jia, do your two uncles know how to play?"

Sun Jia seemed to understand something, and joy flashed in the corner of his eyes: "Those two troubled ones, as long as it's a joke, what don't they understand?"

Sun Dan: "Let them come to me."

"You really want to use them?"

Sun Dan: "Just let them come. If this is done well, I will give them a house for each of them."

Although Sun Jia's heart was hard, the Jing family brothers were her close uncles after all, and she felt sorry to see them in such a poor state.Seeing that Sun Dan was willing to support them, he was moved and said in a low voice, "Thank you very much."

Sun Dan: "My own people don't talk about this."

This arrangement is also good, when the time comes, the Jing brothers will be responsible for setting the trap, and Feng Zhen will pretend to be a rich businessman and continue to lend money to Guo Zeng. It only takes ten days, and Guo Zeng will definitely owe an unfinished old debt.
