Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 86
Xu Zhongxiao is afraid of himself, and Yang Chao can understand, and Yang Chao has always wanted this effect.

The reason why he was forced to make a deal was that after letting Xu Zhongxiao go, Yang Chao stubbornly gave the flatbed to Xu Zhongxiao, asked the Xu family to take him back, and arbitrarily forbade Xu Zhongxiao to ride in the carriage.

Yang Chao put on a tough posture in front of Xu Zhongxiao, which made Xu Zhongxiao fearful and Xu Zhongxiao couldn't understand himself.

The facts came as Yang Chao expected. Xu Zhongxiao didn't know Yang Chao's details for a day, so he didn't dare to do anything casually.

Moreover, he had to guard against Yang Chao's turn to deal with him, and being imprisoned in the county government again, Xu Zhongxiao couldn't stand it.

So Xu Zhongxiao was actually worried all the time, and when the news of Zhou Yanru's reunion was confirmed, Xu Zhongxiao didn't dare to stay in Nanjing anymore.

With the success of Zhou Yanru's re-election, Yang Chao's reputation was unparalleled in Nanjing City for a while, and even high-ranking officials like Ying Tianfu had to give face. At the same time, Xu Zhongxiao felt unprecedented pressure, and finally couldn't bear the pressure, and fled to Beijing. go.

Even if he scares Xu Zhongxiao into this, Yang Chao will not give up in his heart to deal with this bully thoroughly, because Yang Chao knows that if Xu Zhongxiao is replaced, once his details are exposed, he will definitely fight back.

It's not that Yang Chao will deal with Xu Zhongxiao or not, but that Yang Chao doesn't believe that Xu Zhongxiao will get along with him in peace, so Yang Chao wants to deal with him because he is on guard.

This is called the law of the jungle. When you see a tiger in the jungle and you have a shotgun in your hand, you will not bet on whether the tiger wants to eat you or not, but will directly pull the trigger and kill the tiger.

Yang Chao believed that Xu Zhongxiao must have thought the same way, and if given the chance, he would pull the trigger in his hand.

Gu Mei sang on stage for half an hour before stopping, she wanted to take a rest.

But the performance is not over yet, Gu Mei will do her best today and will sing for three hours.

After Gu Mei finished singing, it was almost dawn.

Regardless of the high status of these Qinhuai famous prostitutes, they still have a solid foundation in lyrics and singing, and they are very serious every time they perform. This is probably Yide, which is still followed by film and television stars in later generations.

Gu Mei went down to rest.

The dignitaries also began to chat with each other when they had time.

At this time, what everyone is concerned about is the effect of the stage. I don't understand why today's performance is different from usual.

Among these people, even those wealthy businessmen, even if they don't understand it very well, they often listen to music, and they still have some discernment.

So there are doubts in everyone's mind.

They all speculated, but they just couldn't tell.

Gu Mei will rest for about [-] minutes, and Kang Hui is busy calling the maids to pour tea and wine for the guests.

At this moment, Yang Chao felt that there were still too few maids.

The [-] maids who perform can also do work at ordinary times, but when it comes to performing, they can't take care of them.

Yang Chao was quite indecent seeing the busy scene.

I planned in my heart that I would buy some girls later, at least there should be at least eight seats in front, and each seat should be served by a dedicated maid, so as to show my identity.

Soon Gu Mei came on stage again, this time he changed into a pair of Cantonese embroidered clothes, performing The Romance of the West Chamber and singing Kunqu Opera.

In fact, Gu Mei seldom sang operas. Although operas were very popular, famous prostitutes in brothels regarded singing as high-class and opera as inferior.

Therefore, unless it is in front of friends, it is generally not sung, and there is an identity.

Gu Mei is willing to sing today, obviously because she is doing Yang Chao a lot of face, and Yang Chao feels it. Gu Mei doesn't seem to want to make friends with her like Li Xiangjun.

After receiving Gu Mei's message, Yang Chao also planned to reciprocate. It seems that he really has to copy a famous poem for Gu Mei.

It's just that I really can't think of famous poems or sentences that can be compared with "Be worthy of the Tathagata and not lose your Qing".

It takes a long time to sing an opera, and a fold of the opera is enough to pass the time.

It's a pity that this is a one-man show, and those girls haven't rehearsed, so they can't accompany Gu Mei.

Otherwise, the game would be more exciting.

But the effect of the stage is still playing out, Gu Mei's singing seems to be better than usual, and many people who are familiar with Gu Mei are praising Gu Mei's skill has improved a lot.

After singing, during the break, a scribe walked out of his seat.

This is not surprising, many people leave their seats, they must go to the toilet.

But this person walked directly towards Yang Chao.

Yang Chao naturally noticed it, and even though he didn't know why this person came, he still took the initiative to salute.

"Xiaosheng has seen Mr. Wen!"

Yang Chao bowed to meet him. This man was a well-known Jiangnan scholar named Wen Zhenheng. He was the great-grandson of Wen Zhengming, a well-known Jiangnan scholar named after Tang Bohu. A bachelor, a senior official who has been in the cabinet.

Wen Jiaben was in Changzhou, South Zhili (belonging to Suzhou), and happened to be in Nanjing during this period, so he was invited by Yang Chao as a celebrity.

"Young master Yang, I don't understand something."

Wen Zhenheng asked with a smile.

Yang Chao said: "Old sir, please tell me."

Wen Zhenheng said: "Under your platform, is an urn buried?"

Yang Chao was taken aback for a moment, he really buried the urn, he didn't expect to be guessed all of a sudden.

Thinking that Wen Zhenheng is a person who knows how to live, how to enjoy, and how to understand culture, Yang Chao is relieved.

Wen Zhenheng wrote a book "Long Wu Zhi", which talked about the exquisite life of literati, how to arrange furniture, how to arrange flowers and plants, very elegant, and became the life guide of Ming Dynasty by later generations.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The old man's eyes are like torches!"

Wen Zhenheng said: "There is a piano room in my old man's house, and a vat is buried in the flat house. A copper bell is hung on the vat. There is a board on the cover, so the sound will not disperse; if it is open, the sound will be clear. It is like Qiao Song repairing bamboo, under the cave and stone chamber, When the ground is clear and the environment is absolute, the voice will be high and far.”

When Yang Chao heard this, Wen Zhenheng really understood, and he really buried a lot of emotions off the stage.

Ever since Yang Chao started to run a brothel, he didn’t intend to sell meat, but planned to build a big stage. He gave up a lot of attention to the sound effects of the stage, and buried the urn in the audience. In fact, Yang Chao remembered an anecdote. It is said that Hitler The speech is very powerful and contagious, and when Hitler gave a speech, he buried many urns under his stage, and covered the urns with dry planks.

The reason is very simple, the urn is covered with wooden boards, forming a cavity, which plays the role of resonance, similar to the resonance cavity of a musical instrument.

The sound rotates in the urn cavity to produce a resonance effect, which plays the role of sound amplification, and at the same time makes people hear the complex effect of hundreds of turns, but it should not be too much, too much repetition will cause interference. , noise occurs.

It took Yang Chao a long time to try before he finally got the final shape, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to build a brothel for a few months.

Unexpectedly, Wen Zhenheng is also very clear about this truth.

Yang Chao couldn't help but nodded and said: "The old gentleman has a good opinion."

Wen Zhenheng shook his head and said, "But putting the urn and the bell are not as good as yours. Will Mr. Yang be willing to teach you?"

In fact, Wen Zhenheng already guessed part of it, but he didn't guess everything. Of course, Yang Chao not only put the urn off the stage, but also took many other measures.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "If the old man really wants to know, after Miss Gu's performance is over, Xiaosheng will naturally show him to watch."

Wen Zhenheng nodded: "That's very good."

Yang Chao smiled and said, "But the old man has to keep it a secret from Xiaosheng."

Wen Zhenheng said: "It should be so."
