Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 50
I rested at home for three consecutive days, practicing calligraphy every day, and found some books to read, including Qian Qianyi's, Zhang Pu's, Zhou Yanru's, and even Ruan Dacheng's.

Dealing with these people, or even relying on these people to climb up, it is impossible not to understand their personalities. The old saying is like a person, and from their articles, you may be able to read their character.

At the same time, Yang Chao is also planning his own strength development plan.

Although the situation of the Xinjiangkou Naval Army camp made him feel a little discouraged, and those soldiers could not be used at all, but Yang Chao was not hit. If there are difficulties to solve them, there are always more ways than difficulties.

Therefore, Yang Chao's plan to form his own force will never be cancelled.

Yang Chao went to Nanshi Building first. Yang Chao wanted to see if Wang Xiao had come back. He was eager to know the situation in Beijing, but he could only get through Wang Xiao who went to Beijing to operate in person.

But Wang Xiao was still in Beijing and hadn't come back yet, so Yang Chao could only chat with Kang Hui.

From Kang Hui, we know that with the gestation of this period of time, Yang Chao's reputation in Nanjing is not entirely bad, but a very controversial reputation.

In the brothel circle, some people think Yang Chao is a scum, while some people think Yang Chao is very capable.

All because of that rally that day.

Because the reputation of that meeting has been thoroughly spread, and people in the circle gradually know the purpose of the meeting at that time, knowing that it was a meeting for Zhou Yanru's reunion. It is impossible for such a meeting to remain silent. It's impossible to hide it all the time.

The year before last, Yao Beiruo from Jiaxing came to Nanjing for scientific research. He used a "twelve-story boat" on the Qinhuai River to recruit more than a hundred people from all over the world to take the exam. There is also Jiaxing Shen Yuruo who spends thousands of dollars to decide the flower case, which is called by Jiangnanyan."

It is said that Yang Chao's gathering this time is another grand gathering after Yao Beiruo and Shen Yuruo.Very influential among libertines.

But the significance of this gathering is much greater than the gathering organized by the two wealthy children, Yao Beiruo and Shen Yuruo.

The opportunity of the two romantic young men was only in the entertainment field, among the scholars of the Qinhuai River, while Yang Chao's gathering was spread among the entire scholar forest and the entire Jiangnan literati.

Therefore, this meeting is more famous. It is said that it is the largest gathering in the history of Nanjing City. This gathering spread widely in the circle of literati and talented scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

Another aspect of Yang Chao's fame is because of Liu Rushi.

In the eyes of famous prostitutes like Li Xiangjun, it was a heinous crime for Yang Chao to help Ruan Dacheng and make Liu Rushi angry, so he broke off friendship with Yang Chao.

But because of this, Yang Chao's reputation has also been spread out. Not everyone can make all the famous prostitutes in Nanjing break up with him, so everyone in the circle knows Yang Chao's name.

Some not-so-high-spirited prostitutes even had a good impression of Yang Chao, and some even let out rumors that they were willing to spend a spring night with Yang Chao.

This Yang Chao knew it himself, because there really were brothel prostitutes who sent invitations to him, obviously wanting to take advantage of his fame to increase their worth.

Among the scholars, Yang Chao was good and bad. Donglin scholars overwhelmingly believed that Yang Chao was a gentle scum. Although Yang Chao had no fame, he was still a scholar and should not associate with Ruan Dacheng.

The scholars of Fushe, however, somewhat recognized Yang Chao, thinking that Yang Chao was doing things for Zhang Pu of Fushe.

In short, Yang Chao became famous, some people praised him, others scolded him.

Kang Hui also smiled and said that if Yang Chao took this opportunity to open a brothel, he would definitely be able to gain a foothold in Qinhuai River.

Yang Chao said that if Kang Hui wanted to, he could use his own name to set up this brothel.

Yang Chao is noncommittal about this fame, because the romantic fame in the brothel does not bring him actual benefits.

Yang Chao is more concerned about Liu Rushi's illness, which is still not cured.

Yang Chao wanted to visit, but he knew that he could only touch bad luck, and he would never be able to enter the gate of Meixianglou.

……

What Yang Chao didn't know was that in Meixiang Tower, Liu Rushi was still speaking for him.

"Young Master Yang is not to blame for this!"

Liu Rushi said.

Li Xiangjun sneered at the side: "Don't blame him, then who is to blame? It's good, help Ruan Dacheng to make a name for himself, treat us as fools, and even annoy Duke Mu Zhai, and make you sick."

Liu Rushi shook her head with a wry smile, how could Li Xiangjun know why she fell ill.

How could Li Xiangjun understand her heart.

In the past, Liu Rushi thought that someone understood her, and Qian Qianyi understood her.

But suddenly she found that Qian Qianyi didn't understand her, and she didn't understand Qian Qianyi even more.

She invited Qian Qianyi to the gathering. The Qian family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Liu Rushi always thought that Qian Qianyi would definitely donate generously.

Who knew that Qian Qianyi was not only ungenerous that day, she only found out afterwards that Qian Qianyi only gave 50 taels of silver, and she slapped Qian Qianyi in the face when she gave 1000 taels on stage.

Did Liu Ru not know about Qian Qianyi's grievances with Zhou Yanru, but Liu Rushi thought it was a personal enmity, and pushed Zhou Yanru to meet again. of.

But she doesn't understand men. In a man's heart, politics and power come first. Women are at most an accessory to politics, and a woman like Liu Rushi is no exception.

Liu Rushi thought that Qian Qianyi didn't understand her, and what was even more sad was that he didn't understand Qian Qianyi. Were all the feelings we had together in the past all fake?

Liu Rushi didn't want to believe it, but she couldn't believe it. The struggle in her heart made her fall ill.

Although she was sick, it cannot be said that it had nothing to do with Yang Chao, but she did not blame Yang Chao.

Instead, it was Yang Chao who made her see something clearly. Not only could she not blame, but she should be grateful to Yang Chao.

Liu Rushi secretly sighed in her heart, and said: "Sister, I'm fine. I feel better. I want to go to Wumen in a few days."

Li Xiangjun frowned and said, "Sister is leaving?"

Liu Rushi smiled and said, "I've been here for several months. I'm a wild crane, and I can't stop."

Li Xiangjun also knew that Liu Rushi liked to travel, so he nodded, "Then sister, you have to recover before you go."

Liu Rushi smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry."

Li Xiangjun said: "At that time, I will invite my sisters to see my sister off!"

Liu Rushi said: "I have to accept my sister's kindness. But I ask my sister for one thing."

Li Xiangjun said: "If you and my sister don't ask for anything, my sister can just say it."

Liu Rushi apologized, "I would like to invite Mr. Yang to come too."

Li Xiangjun frowned suddenly: "Why did you invite him?"

Liu Rushi sighed: "Because of my affairs, he was wronged unjustly, and all the sisters abandoned him, my sister couldn't bear it."

Li Xiangjun was so angry that he didn't speak.

……

After Yang Chao returned home from Nanshilou, he learned that he had an invitation.

It was sent by a brothel, but it wasn't a prostitute who invited me to spend a good night together.

It was sent by Meixianglou, and it was a farewell party for Liu Rushi, who was about to leave Jinling.

The tone of the invitation is very unfriendly, it seems to come from Li Xiangjun's mouth.

Not only must Yang Chao arrive, but also Yang Chao should prepare presents.

Gifts, what kind of gifts can fall into Liu Rushi's eyes, Liu Rushi doesn't lack money, and doesn't value money, and the price is a thousand taels, although it is definitely not as good as those rich businessmen, it is much better than ordinary people, so in front of Liu Rushi, Yang Chao is the poor man.

So what should I give, Liu Rushi is versatile, and ordinary etiquette may not be appreciated.

Yang Chao had to think about tasteful gifts and wasted his mind for a while.
