Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 350 Compromise
Politics is really a product of compromise.

On August 20th, the imperial envoy hadn't waited for the Huaihe River, and the salt merchants had already softened. Those Yingtian shops that had cut off contact with Song Qingshu sent the money they owed one after another, and paid double the liquidated damages. I can't wait to drop the order five or six years later, and then, the Yangzhou guild hall entrusted someone to deliver a dozen large boxes of bonuses to the Jinshang guild hall, almost [-] taels.

This is to offer the apology first, and to adopt an attitude of seeking peace.

Then, Ruan Dabeard's new play "Swallow Notes" was released again. Although Ruan Dacheng's character is not good, his talent in opera is extraordinary. These days, the release of new songs is like the premiere of later generations of movies. In an instant, it caused a sensation in the territory of Nanzhili.

Moreover, the place where the premiere was performed was not ordinary, it was Gu Mei's Meilou, a well-known Southern District master in Jinling.

The most important thing is the invited guests, who have always been at odds with Ruan Dacheng. The leader of Donglin, Qian Qianyi, who is at home, has come from his hometown in Suzhou, and the leaders of Fushe Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai brothers have also come. This is in the Jiangnan literary circle. But it's a terrible thing, and many people in the game understand the meaning of it.

Donglin is about to compromise with Ruan Dacheng.

It was indeed Ruan Dacheng. The recent political turmoil in the imperial court was almost entirely on Ruan Dacheng's head. The unlucky Song Qingshu hadn't been taken seriously by these Jiangnan literati. In their view, Song Qingshu was a warrior, vulgar and shameless , How could such a complicated political struggle be conceived.

On this day, Meilou was really crowded, some people came to see Ruan Dabeard's new play, the rest came to Donglin Fushe, and the larger part came to Gu Meilai to sing on stage Yes, many guys want to sneak in even if they don't have an invitation card. Jiangnan is a place with rich culture, and there are enough scum in clothes. It is estimated that more than 20 people can be splashed with a basin of footwashing water.

"Give way! Give way! His mother is so poor, he has no eyes!"

It was crowded, even the carriage was quite difficult to pass, the slaves in front of the carriage couldn't help yelling and cursing loudly, they were almost whipped, and then squeezed out a way, just stopped under the eyebrow building , before turning the front of the car around, a larger and more magnificent four-wheeled carriage suddenly pushed up through the gap, and the driver of the carriage was furious.

"Scared your dog eyes. I didn't see that this is the carriage of the Duke of Baoguo's mansion. You are still fucking pushing forward. I will let you squat in Yingtian Mansion right now, can you believe it?"

As he said that, the slave picked up his whip, who knew that before he could get the opponent's horse, the father-in-law who suddenly poked his head out yelled angrily.

"Zhu Lao Liu, let me down!"

He scolded the slave, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Duke Bao Zhu Guobi jumped out of the carriage with a smile, and greeted him in person.

"Haha, it's really a coincidence that Song Dong's family also came to this Meilou to enjoy the show at the invitation of Ruan Dahuzi. Alas, sister Yunjiao is also here."

"My lord is too polite!"

I didn't expect this era to be as crowded as the Spring Festival travel rush. Shi Lang behind pushed the crowd with great difficulty. Song Qingshu hurriedly jumped out of the car door in embarrassment, followed by his three girls, looking helpless, Song Qingshu was in a panic Pointing behind him, he looked so crowded that not even his cavalry of the frontier army came in, and arched his fist apologetically.

"Young master who collided, I hope you will forgive me!"

"Haha, Brother Song is too far-fetched, come on, let's go in together, if you delay for a while, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in."

"Please!"

The two people at the bottom walked in side by side, but there was a disdainful snort from above: "Sure enough, he is a vulgar warrior, dressed in gold and silver, with the aura of a nouveau riche, and he will show off with his family and beauties wherever he goes, without shame." !"

The speaker was a 30-year-old scholar with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a slender face, and a serious face. He snorted disdainfully, and the man walked straight in, followed by the gray-haired, fifty-something The old man couldn't help but stroked his long beard heavily, and he couldn't help muttering to himself with surprise on his rather fairy-like face.

"This son actually has such a close relationship with Duke Bao. It seems that this court dispute is not the work of Ruan Dahuzi alone, and he is not so powerful. The five northern provinces! It is strange, how can a thief have such a strong relationship?" So much energy?"

I didn't know that I was being watched by someone, and it was crowded outside. When I entered the Meilou, the space suddenly became more relaxed, and Song Qingshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was similar to the ancient buildings on TV. On the first floor, there are two stairs to go up to the corridor on the second floor on both sides. The courtyard in the middle is very empty. It is now arranged as a stage, and there are more than 30 musicians who are adjusting musical instruments, such as pipa, guqin and guzheng. There are also a few pretty Jiangnan beauties playing flute there.

The outside is full of jokes, and the inside is the real class. All the celebrities and nobles from Jiangnan are invited. Rows of tables are neatly placed below, and there are sunflower seeds, candies and other snacks on the tables, but this To Song Qingshu, the New Year's candy is really ordinary, far from being as dazzling as the later generations.

Not long after he came in, Ruan Dacheng personally greeted him, warmly holding Song Qingshu's arm: "Oh, Brother Song, I thought you wouldn't come because I kept waiting for you! Upstairs, honored guest "Have you been waiting for a long time!"

"Who knew that Brother Ruan and everyone Gu are so famous that the little brother almost couldn't squeeze in." Song Qingshu smiled distressedly again.

Baoguo Gong went upstairs first, and Song Qingshu had just exchanged greetings with Ruan Dacheng, when a crisp and soft voice suddenly came from behind.

"It is said that Song Shuai in Dai County is a vulgar martial artist, but he is also such a handsome and handsome character. Seeing is better than hearing a thousand words. I am a concubine. Thank you Song Shuai for your compliment."

Following the voice, Song Qingshu turned his head subconsciously, and was really stunned for a while. Although Dong Xiaowan came to trouble him that day, the little girl was protected behind him. Song Qingshu didn't see it, but a Kou Baimen had already let him go. His impression of the famous Qinhuai Bayan in history was greatly reduced, but unexpectedly, at this time, Gu Mei made him refresh his understanding.

Gu Mei is Gu Hengbo, she really deserves the word Hengbo and Mei, she seems to have a little bit of exotic blood, this girl's fair face is not at all slightly round like that of ordinary people, but a lovely oval face with beautiful features, looking at her It makes people feel comfortable, especially her pair of big eyes that are like a clear spring, when looking forward, the heart beats a little faster.

"Swallow Paper" tells the tortuous love story of a number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty, a famous courtesan and a daughter of the prime minister's family. Gu Mei probably played the role of a famous courtesan. Her exquisite and enchanting figure The snow piled up against the flowery trees, especially the one that touched Song Qingshu, can be regarded as meeting someone with big breasts, which can't be faked. The upper part of the tube top wrapped around the chest reveals two rounded breasts that are slightly flattened , the eyes of those who looked at that deep gully were a little dizzy.

I've seen quite a few famous ladies in this era, but Gu Hengbo was the first one who made Song Qingshu think of going to bed at the first sight.

"Brother?"

Ruan Dacheng's teasing voice woke Song Qingshu to his senses, and he hurriedly smiled awkwardly, "It's no wonder that so many Jiangnan talents are rushing to Master Gu's demeanor outside the door. Forgive me."

"Marshal Song is such a wonderful person!" Covering his mouth with his little hand, he giggled, and his glinting eyes slammed Song Qingshu hard, and then Gu Hengbo bowed slightly.

"I still have some lines to be proficient in, so I won't be with the commander-in-chief. Meilou welcomes the commander-in-chief anytime."

Saying that, the little girl had already swayed by the willows in the wind, causing Ruan Dazi to poke Song Qingshu with a wretched smile.

"Brother has a lot of good luck. Not everyone is interested in everyone. This time she invites you, and she will have a chance to be the guest of honor in the future! I'm so envious!"

"Brother Ruan, don't frame my brother!"

Except that Li Bao'er was more afraid of himself, Little Pepper had already pinched her, and she could feel a little jealousy from Caiwei's face, Song Qingshu hurriedly smiled wryly and waved his hands.

Different from the western kind of negotiations that can overthrow the sky for a dime, the eastern style of negotiations is obviously much more refined. It is obvious that the two gangster bosses in the Jiangnan literary world are trying their best, and they still drink tea and sweets, and are polite. Although the two guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to the seat all put on a bad face, which made Gu Mei's ups and downs singing voice a bit dull.

This is Qian Qianyi?

Looking at the two of them together, the handsome old man opposite Ruan Dacheng's round table, Song Qingshu really couldn't help admiring him. Song Qingshu's biggest impression of Qian Qianyi was actually from Liu Rushi, this dead old man who eats young grass and bows. After Liu Rushi, Song Qingshu once sighed that it is good to be rich, but now it seems that this age is also based on face, old men also have handsome men.

Thinking wildly, the play has already gone through the third turn, Qian Qianyi, who has been drinking tea and eating melon seeds since he came here, can be regarded as a little bit of movement, nodding his head slightly, the handsome old man said in admiration.

"Ruan Gong's opera is getting better and better. Now even the old man can't see the next direction of the play. Why don't Ruan Gong give the old man a hint?"

"Mr. Qian is being polite. It seems that the next champion is being helped by a nobleman. Brother Song, what does the nobleman want? I can't remember clearly at once!"

The nobleman is Song Qingshu, and the bored Song Qingshu hurriedly took over this charade.

"The nobleman's surname, first name, and words are three percent!"

As soon as these words came out, Qian Qianyi frowned all of a sudden, the word is salt, in the past because of the convenient location, Shanxi merchants suppressed by Yangzhou salt merchants and Huizhou merchants could only get [-]% of the salt quotation every year, this time Song Qingshu would add [-]% as soon as he opened his mouth, and his appetite was really big.

But it was still the easiest condition, the real game was yet to come, so apart from the thick-eyed Zhang Pu snorting disdainfully, Qian Qianyi nodded without getting too close.

"It's a noble man who promises [-]% of his words, good!"

Anyway, the headaches are those Yangzhou salt merchants, they entrusted themselves to reconcile, don’t ruin everyone’s jobs, for Qian Qianyi, salt merchants are the most vulgar and inferior people, and they don’t need to spend their brain cells to fight for it, look at him Nodding, Song Qingshu was ecstatic.

Don't look at 600% and [-]%, that's a big deal of [-] million silver more in a year, and all of a sudden, a big cake of Jiangnan Trading was bitten by himself.

Seeing the happy look on the corner of Song Qingshu's mouth, the two brothers of the Zhang family who don't eat fireworks even snorted a few times with contempt.
