Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 26: Meeting (1)

Liu Rushi was quite distressed during this time.

Liu Rushi lives in Meixiang Building, and Li Xiangjun has always treated each other with courtesy, even showing respect by thanking guests behind closed doors.

Meixiang Building is still operating as usual, but if Mr. Li Xiang doesn't see customers, the business is basically cut off.

Without Li Xiangjun, the No.1 courtesan, those romantic and famous people would not come here at all, and the ones who would come would be merchants and the like, such as Wang Xiao who pretended to be someone else’s poem. girl.

A real celebrity would not simply come to sleep with a woman, that would be too prestigious, without celebrities coming, the reputation of Meixianglou would be greatly affected.

This made Aunt Li a little unhappy.

Aunt Li's full name is Li Zhenli, she is only 27 years old this year, and she is Li Xiangjun's adoptive mother.

He is also the real owner of Meixianglou.

Li Zhenli is not a stingy person, she has always been generous and generous. In the past, gambling with others, winning or losing thousands of dollars overnight was common.

Li Zhenli is also a generation of famous prostitutes, but after training Li Xiangjun, she wholeheartedly praised Li Xiangjun. Li Xiangjun's fame has indeed come out, and she can inherit Meixianglou. Only then did he officially leave the cabinet.

A brothel like Meixianglou is different from that of Nanshilou. It does not rely on girls to sleep with people, but relies on the reputation of elegant prostitutes like Li Xiangjun to attract those romantic men who are chasing fame.

But because of Liu Rushi's arrival, Li Xiangjun began to thank guests behind closed doors. If time goes on, all the talented and beautiful women will go to other brothels. How can Meixianglou maintain its status.

As a generation of famous prostitutes, Li Zhenli naturally knows that fame comes and goes quickly. Li Xiangjun will not see anyone for a long time, and he is afraid that he will be regarded as aloof and arrogant by some talented scholars. If this reputation spreads, it may not last long.

Didn't Dong Xiaowan, who was famous for a while last year, offend the guests because of his loftiness, and was blamed by the madam, so he left in a fit of anger.

So Li Zhenli's dissatisfaction was justified, and Liu Rushi didn't blame Li Zhenli from the bottom of her heart.

Even Liu Rushi himself persuaded Li Xiangjun to go out to meet guests, but Li Xiangjun just refused. Liu Rushi knew that this was respect for him, but instead he made things difficult for him.

If it were someone else Liu Rushi would think that the other party wanted to drive him away, it would be easy if that was the case, and if he just left, Liu Rushi would not be afraid of not being able to find a place to stay.

But Li Xiangjun is definitely not like this, he is sincerely accompanying him, but he can't leave.

Liu Rushi didn't want to leave, nor did he want to stay, so he began to feel unhappy.

Someone sent a poem suddenly today. Liu Rushi saw that it was not a poem, but a very special ditty. When Liu Rushi saw this ditty, he immediately remembered the one he saw a month ago. Liu Rushi already knew about the minor tune of 'Seeing and Not Seeing', which was written by Yang Chao in the name of Zhou Rui.

Soon, Li Xiangjun also came to look for Liu Rushi, also holding a poem.

The rhyme of the poem is not very good, but Li Xiangjun is in high spirits, because there is a sentence in this poem "do not fail the Tathagata and not fail the Qing".

Obviously, this poem is enough to be circulated just by this line "do not lose to the Tathagata and not to your Qing".

At this time, Li Xiangjun hadn't discovered the problem with the poem, and didn't think of Yang Chao. After Liu Ru pointed it out, Li Xiangjun felt weird, and immediately called Wang Xiao, who sent the poem, and immediately asked if it was written by Yang Chao. .

Wang Xiao immediately said frankly that it was indeed Yang Chao who did it.

Liu Rushi was just weird, but Li Xiangjun had changed his attitude. Last time, he thought Yang Chao was a scoundrel. "Seeing and Not Seeing" was just a ditty copied from somewhere. Now it seems that he is indeed a bit weird. Send someone to invite Yang Chao.

Liu Rushi was noncommittal, the last time she was teased by Yang Chao, although it had been a while, she was still not convinced.

So I didn't stop him, and I already wanted to make things difficult in my heart, so as to avenge the last time.

"Sister Liu, this ditty is also strange, it has no style and rhythm, but it has a taste when you read it.

If there were more minor tunes like this, we could hold a poetry meeting. "

Li Xiangjun also had a unique idea. He has always held poetry meetings and ci meetings. Anyone who has heard minor tunes can also do meetings.

Liu Rushi smiled and said, "Then this is the first time."

Li Xiangjun said: "That's good."

It's no wonder that Li Xiangjun is so popular, his sensitivity to this kind of literati's humor is indeed superior to others.

At this time, the girl Xiangxue knocked on the door: "Miss, Miss Liu, Mr. Yang is here."

Li Xiangjun said: "Let him in!"

Said that he had already walked to the door, and he had to have the etiquette to invite people. Li Xiangjun, who has been taught strict etiquette since he was a child, would not lose his manners.

But this time Liu Rushi didn't move, and kept leaning against the window. She liked this posture very much, it allowed her to enjoy the street view.

Sometimes in this posture, in the flower hall in the backyard, you can see the scenery of the Qinhuai River at that time.

The door opened, and the two young princes bowed together, and Li Xiangjun bowed his knees in return.

"Hehe, Mr. Yang, I have heard about your name for a long time. Come to my humble house, and I am sorry to welcome you from far away!"

Li Xiangjun suppressed a burst of laughter, she originally intended to tease Yang Chao, but the moment she saw Yang Chao, she couldn't help it, because she suddenly remembered that it was this person who played tricks on the extremely intelligent Liu Rushi.

There are not many people in this world that Li Xiangjun admires, and Liu Rushi is the best among them, but Yang Chao's skill in playing Liu Rushi at that time was amazing.

Yang Chao also felt strange, he did not have any friendship with Li Xiangjun, except for the last time he glanced at the window, this was the first time we met.

To Yang Chao's surprise, he saw an unbearable smile in Li Xiangjun's eyes.

I can't help but feel that there is something wrong with me, there are flowers on my face, my hair is too messy, or I still haven't zipped it.

Yang Chao tidied himself carefully before following Li Xiangjun into the house.

The room is a duplex structure. The entrance is a veil quality screen with light orchids on it.

After entering, there is a faint fragrance permeating the air, making people wonder if it is from the orchids on the painting screen.

Bypassing the screen is a main room with extremely elegant furnishings. There is a round table in the middle, and there are furniture on the left and right sides of the room. The whole is not complicated, and it looks quite elegant, but it is just right. People feel messy.There are a few calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the writing is sparse and generous, and Yang Chao didn't have a chance to see who wrote it.

On the opposite side are several rows of windows, under the middle window there is a red sandalwood carving table, the table is only one foot in size, but four feet high, it looks tall and thin.

In addition to carvings, the tables are covered with purple lacquer, and there is a white porcelain vase with a flower on it.

There is a woman standing obliquely next to the table, it is Liu Rushi.

"Young Master Yang and Young Master Wang, please sit down. Xiangxue, serve tea!"

Several people had already walked to the table, and Li Xiangjun greeted Yang Chao and Wang Xiao to sit down.

Yang Chao nodded and sat down. He was not a cautious person. He came from later generations with the idea that everyone is equal. Let alone a famous prostitute, even if he was facing a high-ranking official, he would not have an inferior posture.

Wang Xiao is a veteran of Huacong, so she doesn't know what's going on in her heart, but she can still pretend to be calm and sit down.

"Sister Liu. But do you want Mr. Yang to invite you?"

Li Xiangjun knew about Yang Chao, so he deliberately teased Liu Rushi.

Liu Rushi glared at her, facing Yang Chao and Wang Xiao, pressed his hands on his lower abdomen, and slowly bent his knees.

"The little girl has seen the two sons."

Get up and walk slowly.

Nodding her head, she sat down at the side. Xiangxue had already taken the saucer with the exquisite teacup and tea set on it, and served the tea.

"Mr. Yang, do you have a sign?"

Li Xiangjun stopped to greet, and then asked.

Yang Chao shook his head. He didn't go to school, so he usually didn't choose a name.

Li Xiangjun didn't ask any more. He knew the reason well. He guessed that Yang Chao didn't go to school and didn't have any fame. If he kept asking, it wouldn't look good.
