Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 40 Coming and not being indecent

Wang Xiao is still messing around in the Nanshi building. After finishing his work for the time being, he will wait for the result. Once the matter is over, he will rush back to Hangzhou immediately. He has done so many things this time, so he has to go home and fight Fight for your own interests.

Yang Chao saw Wang Xiao leisurely, and immediately arranged a new task for him.

It was also a task that Wang Xiao was familiar with, and it was still related to the carriage.

Ask Wang Xiao to prepare more than a dozen carriages for emergency.

Yang Chao was a little worried that the servants of the Ruan family would not be easy to handle.

Don't dare to use them at the most critical time. If you mess up, your work will be in vain.

Wang Xiao had something to do, so instead of complaining, he was very happy. In fact, he didn't want to hang around in the brothel at all.

Then he went home, Hu Quan was waiting at home, his father went to work in the bureau, and his mother and younger sister were cleaning the house.

My younger sister's house is separated by wooden boards, but some of the wood has cracked, and my mother wants to replace the wooden boards.

But there was no money, so it was delayed, and many places were barely covered with paper, which did not keep warm at all. In summer, it was okay, but in winter, my sister's room was extremely cold.

Seeing his mother and sister busy covering the wall with waste paper to cover up a gap that just opened, Yang Chao felt sad.

"Chao'er is back. Don't worry about it, we'll be done in a while."

When the mother saw Yang Chao approaching, she thought Yang Chao was there to help.

"Mother, don't worry about it. After a while, we will build a new house."

Yang Chao said that he had forgotten his sister all this time, and felt a little guilty.

"Ah, really?"

The younger sister exclaimed first.

But the mother said: "What stupid things are you talking about. She is a girl, she should get married in a few years, what kind of house will she build!"

The younger sister was suddenly depressed.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Even if you are married, don't you have to go back to your mother's house, you have to have a decent house, right?"

The younger sister secretly raised her eyes to look at Yang Chao, and seeing Yang Chao's serious expression, she couldn't help feeling a surge of joy in her heart.

The mother stopped what she was doing, pondered for a while, and then nodded: "That's right. In the future, you will have to look good in front of your in-laws. Son, you are promising now. Our family can't get married with those hard-working people on the street. In the future No matter what, you have to find a wealthy family. Then you can’t be shabby, your mother’s family is too poor, and you will be looked down upon by your husband’s family, and you will suffer if you marry.”

The mother blushed when her sister said it, and she was too embarrassed to say a word when she bowed her head.

Yang Chao smiled and said, "Mother is absolutely right."

Seeing Hu Quan walking back and forth outside the door, Yang Chao said again: "Mom, I have to go out today, and I won't come back for dinner tonight."

Yang Chao didn't go home yesterday, because it wasn't the first time, and his mother wasn't too worried.

Mother nodded: "Well, come back as soon as you can, don't walk on the street when you are late, or be caught by night watchmen."

Yang Chao nodded and walked out of the house.

"Brother Yang, where are we going?"

Hu Quan asked.

Yang Chao said: "I'm going to Ruan's house. Where do I want to look? You go to Nanshilou, ask Wang Xiao for a carriage, then go to Mingwalang Liu's workshop, take my post, and pull all the finished lamps Go to Ruan's house."

Having said that, Yang Chao was still a little worried, so he personally accompanied Hu Quan to pick up the car at Nanshi Building. Wang Xiao didn't have to go in person for things like renting a car, he had servants by his side , There is also his family's shop in Nanjing City, and people can be dispatched for emergency at any time.

I arrived at Mingwa Gallery by car, but I couldn’t get into the alley, so I could only go outside. With the help of Liu’s workshop staff, I loaded the first batch of more than ten Mingwa lamps into the carriage and pulled them to Ruan’s house.

When we arrived at Ruan's house, we greeted the servants of Ruan's house, and after taking down the lamp, Hu Quan and the car left.

Only then did Yang Chao direct the installation of the lamps.

They are all large-scale bright tile lamps, but Yang Chao has to install them intensively.

The outside of the house needs to be installed, and the inside must also be installed.

The river house has two floors, the first floor has been installed, and the second floor will also be installed.

The same is true inside, around the patio, the first floor will be covered with lanterns under the eaves, and the second floor is still the same.

It needs to be installed in the corridor, and it should also be installed on the stairs.

Yang Chao wants to make the Ruan family night as day.

Under Yang Chao's command, the servants of the Ruan family were completely busy. Those who hung lanterns hung lanterns, and those who did not hang lanterns were also installing pendants for hanging lanterns.

Has been busy, in one day, dozens of lanterns were installed.

But Yang Chao still felt that it was not enough, so he asked a carpenter to make some lamp stands, and ordered a total of one hundred.

At that time, these lamp stands can be moved at any time for easy adjustment.

Each lamp stand is slightly taller than a person, and there are four splayed wooden bars on it, which are actually lantern brackets, on which a large lantern with a diameter of two feet can be placed.

In fact, Yang Chao still has many, many ideas, but they are no longer needed, and there is no time at all, so he can only make small troubles and mend them. Yang Chao thought, if this is his place, he must Rebuild according to your own ideas.

For several days in a row, they were busy at Ruan's house. Kang Hui, Wang Xiao and Wang Xiao's side were going very smoothly. Needless to say, Wang Xiao rented a car, as long as he had money, he even found the driver.

Kang Hui's side also went well, and those talented scholars basically agreed when they heard that the four famous prostitutes Li Xiangjun, Gu Mei, Bian Sai, and Sha Cai had gathered together.

Even if some people don't care about famous prostitutes, Kang Hui will use Zhang Pu's name and agree, and basically don't use Qian Qianyi's name.

Seeing that the rally was approaching, Yang Chao couldn't help feeling a little excited.

If this is done, Zhou Yanru succeeds in meeting again, not only will he get what he deserves, but it will also affect the political situation of the country, which makes Yang Chao feel like he is in history and creating history.

But the family was not peaceful. Yang Chao had just returned home that night, and his mother complained to Yang Chao crying.

It's still the Xu family.

The housekeeper of Xu Zhongxiao's family arrived at Yang's house at noon, and said that if Yang's family didn't pay back the money, Yang Yue would go to Xu's house to work to pay off the debt, and he would go there within three days. It's interest, and the Xu family generously said that it will be fine to pay back 1000 taels of silver at the end of the year.

The younger sister was suffering in her own room, and the father was sleeping on the bed with his head covered by a quilt.

The mother complained that it was all her father's fault, and she still caused the Xu family's troubles.

Yang Chao persuaded that even if there was no father to test, the Xu family would bully him sooner or later.

Yang Chao told his mother that this matter will be resolved soon.

But still can not appease the mother.

Yang Chao went to Nanshi Building early the next morning to make final preparations.

"Brother Yang, I'm sorry, I have something to ask you."

Wang Xiao had an apologetic expression on his face, as if it was hard to say anything.

Yang Chao said: "You've been shy about everything. Just say something!"

The family affairs made Yang Chao quite upset, and he didn't have time to quarrel with Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao suddenly smiled, as expected, she was pretending, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, you know my cousin Zhou Rui, he is the one. I learned from me that famous prostitutes in Nanjing will be invited, especially knowing that Liu Rushi will also After hearing the news of his participation, he even ran to Nanjing, begging me to let him participate."

Yang Chao frowned immediately, and he repeatedly emphasized that it should be kept secret, but Wang Xiao leaked the secret through communication with Zhou Rui.

Wang Xiao is a ghost, so she immediately understood Yang Chao's expression, and immediately explained: "Brother Yang may have misunderstood. I have never said anything else. I only talked about romantic affairs, and Zhou Rui only knew about famous prostitutes." , I don’t know what’s the same.”

Yang Chao waved his hand: "Forget it. It's not a big deal to add another person. Besides, Mr. Zhou is also an old acquaintance. If you want to see Miss Liu, let him meet. It's just adding another person—"

Suddenly Yang Chao paused, his eyes brightened immediately, and his tone became sharp: "Okay!"

Suddenly shouted: "It's not rude to come and go, I also want to add someone!"

Wang Xiao was taken aback: "Brother Yang, who do you want to add?"

Yang Chao snorted, "A Jinyiwei hundred households!"
