Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 76
Yang Chao didn't return to the barracks for ten days in a row. Although Zhao Kang had a strong desire to show off, he was still learning how to be an officer. They help look after them, don't ask what they can do, just ask that the new soldiers don't let the new soldiers fight.

There is no need for Zhao Kang to train soldiers now, it is just temporarily repairing the barracks, Yang Chao is not too worried.

For ten days, Yang Chao was very active in the city.

Invited Yang Wencong to go to Meilou together.

Although the cooperation with Yang Wencong was unsuccessful last time, and it ended with Yang Wencong's timid retreat, but after all, a cooperation, as long as Yang Wencong is still the magistrate of Jiangning County, it is worthy of Yang Chao's win, not to mention that Yang Wencong is also a well-known romantic scholar.

Yang Wencong was much more familiar with the brothel circle than Yang Chao. Not only did he go there often, but he also bought a famous prostitute out of the brothel because he felt lonely during this time after seeing off his family.

And coincidentally, a relative of Yang Wencong became a high official recently, and that person was Ma Shiying.

Yang Chao did not expect that Yang Wencong and Ma Shiying were still relatives. Yang Wencong's official wife was Ma Shiying's younger sister, and he was Ma Shiying's brother-in-law.

Ma Shiying used to be a magistrate and governor in the past. He was reported by the eunuch of the supervising army for embezzling public funds. He was appointed governor of Fengyang.

Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, holds a heavy army and guards against the peasant army in the Yangtze River Basin.

Therefore, Yang Wencong's line now has more weight than before.

Asking Yang Wencong to go to Meilou, in fact, is to contact Gu Mei by the way.

Although all the famous courtesans in Nanjing had broken up with Yang Chao, Gu Mei's attitude was the most elusive. When he sent Liu Rushi off at Meixianglou last time, his attitude towards Yang Chao was okay.

So Yang Chao planned to make a breakthrough from Gu Mei.

If Yang Chao doesn't open a brothel, he will break up with these famous prostitutes. Even if he doesn't visit brothels for the rest of his life, Yang Chao won't feel pity, but now he has to establish a good relationship with them, otherwise you will never be able to get along.

And Yang Chao also tried it. He went to Meixiang Building to post, but Li Xiangjun didn't see him at all.

Gu Mei agreed to meet.

So Yang Chao took Yang Wencong up to the eyebrow tower at night.

"Haha, long time no see, Meisheng."

As soon as he went up to the eyebrow tower and met Gu Mei, Yang Wencong knew him better than himself, so he immediately started joking with Gu Mei.

Gu Mei said: "Hey, it's rare that Mr. Yang still remembers the little girl. Isn't Mr. Yang and Sister Wanrong inseparable? Why did you come to my brow tower?"

Wanrong is Ma Jiao's name, and Ma Jiao is also one of the famous prostitutes in Qinhuai. Last time, Ma Jiao performed at Yang Chao's Ruan family gathering.

Unexpectedly, Ma Jiao followed Yang Wencong later.

Yang Wencong smiled and said, "Meisheng was joking. Wanrong also asked me to ask you how you are."

Gu Meijiao snorted and said, "Ask me, why didn't she come by herself? Could it be that after following you, she became a girl from a good family, and think my brow tower is filthy?"

Seeing Gu Mei acting angry, Yang Wencong quickly said: "Don't blame, don't blame."

Yang Chao saw that Gu Mei kept talking to Yang Wencong, as if he had forgotten himself, and knew that the other party was doing it on purpose.

He couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. It seems that what he did last time really made his reputation bad.

Yang Chao also knew that it was wrong to help Ruan Dacheng, but if he didn't help Ruan Dacheng, it would be impossible for him to participate in such a big event as Zhang Pu assisting Zhou Yanru, and it would be impossible for him to get involved with the largest relationship network in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Although this network of relationships seems weak and useless, but when the opportunity comes, Yang Chao knows that he can use this network to make real great things.

Yang Chao simply took the initiative to step forward, cupping his fists and bowing: "Xiaosheng Yang Chao, I have met Miss Gu Mei!"

Yang Chao is sincere.

Gu Mei sneered and said, "You still know that you came to see me. Come on, you must be begging me to do something."

So easy to guess?
Yang Chao didn't seem to reveal any news this time, no matter how clever Gu Mei was, she couldn't have guessed it.

Yang Chao pretended to be profound and said, "How can you see that?"

He didn't believe that Gu Mei guessed it, but apart from guessing, how could Gu Mei know? You must know that Yang Chao didn't tell others. What he knows so far is Hu Quan and Wang Xiao, but Hu Quan and Wang Xiao have no chance. Come see Gu Mei.

Gu Mei snorted coldly: "How can you see it? You don't even need to think about it, you, Mr. Yang, go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

Yang Chao was taken aback for a moment, it turned out to be such a truth, but after thinking about it, it really is.

The first time I had a relationship with a brothel was to help Zhou Rui meet Liu Rushi for 50 taels of silver.

The second time I went to Meixianglou, I asked Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun to help me gather together, in order to take advantage of the fame of the two famous prostitutes.

The first time I came to Meilou was to invite Gu Mei to participate in the rally, and it was also for Gu Mei's fame and influence.

Speaking of which, I have always only thought about how to take advantage of the popularity of these famous prostitutes, but never thought about giving them anything, so I don't need to mention the money, needless to say, no one cares about the money.

According to the rules, one person gave 100 taels, but they returned it in the end.

Yang Chao sighed: "It turns out that in Miss Gu's eyes, this is the kind of person I am."

Yang Chao sighed, but the fact is that, so far, Yang Chao has shown such a person.

Gu Mei snorted, "Tell me. What are you going to do this time? What do you want me to do for you?"

Yang Chao sighed: "The girl has already said so, so I'd better not say it."

Gu Mei glared at Yang Chao: "Sure enough, I'm looking for someone to help you again. Let's talk about what you want me to help you with. Maybe this girl is in a good mood, so I agree."

Yang Chao shook his head and said, "Hey, it's hard to say. I don't want to take advantage of the girl. But Miss Gu can make a condition, we can exchange it with each other."

If he fooled Gu Mei again this time, Yang Chao himself would not be able to accept it. Even if Gu Mei was willing to help in vain, Yang Chao would definitely not want to owe this favor even if he couldn't afford the corresponding price.

Yang Chao would rather pay a high price, be it money, things, or work, but he would not accept help for nothing, perhaps out of the dignity of a man, especially in front of women.

Hearing what Yang Chao said, Gu Mei laughed, as if she had succeeded in a trick.

"Okay, since Young Master Yang said so, I really want something from Young Master Yang!"

Just ask for something.

Yang Chao immediately asked, "What is it?"

Gu Mei smiled and said, "I want a poem from you!"

Yang Chao was stunned, even Yang Wencong, who was drinking tea and wine, was also stunned for a moment, not knowing what poem Yang Chao wanted.

Yang Chao was puzzled: "I don't know how to compose poetry!"

Gu Mei snorted, "Are you looking down on this girl?"

Yang Chao smiled bitterly: "How dare you!"

To be honest, Yang Chao felt that he didn't have the capital to look down on these brothel prostitutes.

Gu Mei sneered: "Don't dare? Then you can write poems for the incense fan pendant, but you can't write poems for this girl?"

Only then did Yang Chao realize that he had copied some poems to Li Xiangjun.

Unexpectedly, there was a problem with the copying of poems, and he pushed himself to a dead end. If he didn't write a poem for Gu Mei, Gu Mei would not be able to let herself go.

I can only hope that I can think of a similar famous poem.

Yang Chao sighed: "Since that's the case, well, I will try my best to compose a song for the girl."

Yang Wencong suddenly became interested. He didn't know that Yang Chao could compose poems. Yang Chao's poetic talent has not been spread yet, because the poems he copied were only given to Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun. Liu Rushi went to Changmen, Wujiang. Chao broke up with him, so one had no chance, and the other couldn't make Yang Chao famous. Except for those in the real brothel circle, it was difficult for outsiders to know that Yang Chao had done poetry.

Seeing that Yang Chao said it so easily, Gu Mei agreed to compose poems for herself before asking her to do things herself, which didn't seem to be Yang Chao's style.

Gu Mei's exquisite heart moved, and she hurriedly said: "Remember, don't fool me, at least make a poem comparable to giving a pendant to an incense fan. I didn't make things difficult for you, I know that those poems are excellent , It is impossible to go beyond. There are only a few songs since the beginning of the ages, and they have all been finished by the people of the Tang Dynasty. It is great to be able to release one song in the current dynasty. But since you have a few songs, you must be able to come out with a few more. .”

Yang Wencong just took a sip of tea, when he suddenly heard Gu Mei's words, he almost spit out the tea, and managed to hold back, but he choked himself enough, his face flushed red.

Yang Wencong was amazed, he never thought that Yang Wencong's praise of Yang Chao's poetry was so high that it was elevated to the level of famous poems through the ages.

Yang Wencong has never heard of Yang Chao's poetry, but I believe that Gu Mei will not talk nonsense. Talent is something that cannot be acquired. Even if Gu Mei intends to make Yang Chao famous, she will not cheat on it, otherwise To risk her reputation as a famous courtesan in Nanjing.

So Yang Wencong breathed a sigh of relief and asked impatiently: "Does Mr. Yang have a previous work?"

Yang Wencong asked about Gu Mei, and he heard from Gu Mei that Yang Chao had written poems for Li Xiangjun before, and the poems were so talented that Gu Mei rated them as unsurpassed in the ranks of famous poems through the ages.

It's not that Gu Mei is ignorant, on the contrary, she is also a master of literary talent, and her talent in poetry alone is no less than those great talents.

Yang Wencong believed Gu Mei's words, so he immediately asked, eager to know what poems Yang Chao had written.

Gu Mei was not restrained either, she immediately dipped her glass into the wine and started writing on the table.

Yang Wencong looked at it immediately, and each word appeared in his eyes.

Beauty is not born from the mother's womb, it should grow from a peach blossom tree...

The words written in the wine quickly deformed, turning into a puddle of water, appearing one by one, and disappearing one by one...

Gu Mei explained while writing, that it is difficult to express the artistic conception if the poem does not match the scene.

"This was done by Mr. Yang under the guise of a monk"

Yang Wencong's mind immediately reflected the appearance of an infatuated monk.

Following the appearance of the last few words "Where in the world can there be both perfections, you will not fail the Tathagata and not betray you", Yang Wencong couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling extremely shocked in his chest!
"A famous poem through the ages! Well deserved."

He immediately got these eight words in his heart.

At the same time, the bohemian monk in his mind was immediately upgraded to a love monk.

In fact, Yang Wencong had heard this poem before, and Li Xiangjun composed it and sang it when the Ruan family gathered.

But at that kind of grand meeting, Yang Wencong was a little out of his mind, especially after Qian Qianyi broke out and left the meeting, Yang Wencong couldn't hear any sounds in his ears, so he didn't even leave any impression.

At this moment, Yang Chao was thinking about the poems of later generations, because he hadn't studied them specifically, and he didn't read many poems. Most of them were famous poems from Tang and Song Dynasties, so obviously he couldn't copy them.

Cangyang Gyatso's poems were only in college. A female classmate was obsessed with them. Yang Chao quietly memorized a few poems. Later, when the girl was chased away, Yang Chao stopped reading.

So I couldn't think of it for a while, what else I could copy. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
