While watching around, Yang Chendong was led to a square table with some fruits and tea on it, and the location was considered close to the stage (Courtesan performed Place) Although it’s not recent, it’s pretty good.

Yang Yang sat down there naturally, and then his eyes began to drift away. He even accidentally saw several acquaintances, and raised his hand to say hello.

Looking at Yang Yang’s obviously ostentatious expression, Yang Chendong shook the head helplessly, “fourth brother, what are you doing?”

“Say hello to your acquaintances. Hey, sixth brother, don’t you know, usually I rarely sit in such a position, Aiya, sitting here is only the table fee and two 10 silver taels.” Yang Yang explained while feeling distressed. Said.

“en. It seems to be worth it.” Yang Chendong also looked at all around, and looked at the environment here, and he was nodded satisfied. In my mind, I also began to gauge whether there was anything that could be improved compared with the drawings I renovated.

Looking at Yang Chendong not feeling distressed at all, Yang Yang let go of his heart. Although it was his own younger brother, it was true, but the money was spent in the end. To say that it is impossible to lose heart at all, he feels that he is pulling a big flag. In order to show the necessity of his existence, mainly to be worthy of the sixth brother, he carefully pointed to the two tables closer to the stage and said: “Sixth brother, do you see anyone on those two tables?”

Yang Chendong’s gaze moved along with it. Two young men in their twenties were seated on two tables in the line of sight. They were arrogant in Jin Yi silk and satin. .

Knowing that the sixth brother is paying attention to them, he laughed and leaned forward and introduced in a low voice, “The older Noble Son in the east is Xu Chengzong. The one in the west is called Zhang De.”

“Oh!” Yang Chendong raised his eyebrows, “but the descendants of Duke of Wei and Duke of Ying?”

“Six brothers are really clear. Xu Chengzong is the eldest son of Duke of Wei Xu Qin. Now he is not in good health, and he says he will pass the Nobility Rank to this child. The one named Zhang De is just the second son of Duke of Ying Zhang Fu. There is no publicity, but I heard that he has a good relationship with his eldest brother Zhang Mao. If I want to come, I should have nothing to worry about.” In order to please his sixth brother, or to have more money to spend, Yang Yang knows Pour as much as possible.

Yang Chendong nodded while listening. He knew both of them, and the Security Bureau had conducted a detailed investigation before.

Duke of Wei Xu Qin, grandson of Prince of Zhongshan Xu Da.

At the beginning, Xu Da was known as the first hero of Great Ming Feudal. His descendants naturally enjoyed the glory of an extremely noble position.

It’s just that future generations are future generations, not at all. What are the real capable people? In addition, the Imperial Capital of the past dynasties worried that they will be the masters of their achievements, and they have been suppressing the use. Fan did it. Today’s Xu Qin is also in poor health. He stays in bed every day to recuperate. As his eldest son, Xu Chengzong’s voice for succession is getting higher and higher, and his status naturally follows as the tide rises, the boat floats Up.

As for the other person, Zhang De, he is the second son of Duke of Ying Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu has been mentioned before, and he has done a lot, and he can be called a famous general. It’s just that now the eunuch is in power, and it’s really suppressed. This matter has been introduced in the previous chapter.

But no matter what, there is a big brand called Duke of Ying, which is not something that can be provoked by who.

A Nine Arts Square that’s all was able to make the two National Duke all come here afterwards. It can be seen that this Lady Xiang should be of a certain level, and Yang Chendong couldn’t help but look forward to it even more.

Situated in a chair, Yang Chendong sat here happily, taking a sip of tea from time to time. When he first came to the capital, he knew very few people, which also saved the trouble of making false claims and greeting other people.

As time goes by, the whole hall is getting more and more lively. People of all kinds are constantly being introduced to the square table by the maids, and slowly the climate in the hall begins to rise. All kinds of sweat are also flooding here, making Yang Chendong’s nose slightly frown and shook the head. The ventilation equipment here is not good, so that the smell here cannot be quickly dissipated. This is only the point. , It seems a lot inferior.

It’s not like the Fairy Abode that I want to open. It not only has transparent windows, but also has a layer of screen windows. This way, it can ensure ventilation and prevent various mosquitoes. It’s the place of fresh smell.

While waiting, or under suffering, the occupancy rate in the hall has reached more than 70%, and there is a gentle sound of walking, and the two look like Zhou Zheng The girl walked onto the stage holding a pipa alone.

Yang Yang on the side has been observing Yang Chendong, ready to explain as a speaker at any time. Seeing that the two girls came, they leaned their heads over and said: “Four brothers, these two people are warm-ups, not a positive angle.”

“en.” Yang Chendong nodded. In later generations, the Grand Theater also used this procedure. The warm-up appeared first, and the real corner could only be used as the finale.

As the two warm-up girls appeared, the whole hall really became quieter. Then the two women first bowed and saluted, and then the two women holding the pipa slowly opened their mouths and sang, “Red dragonfly, flying on the green poplar branch. When the spider saw it, it opened the web. Look at him obsessively. Spider, you don’t look at me, this kind of trap persuades you to think less. It’s exhausting your mind, but not on your web.”

The style is very slow, often It takes a long time to sing a sentence, and it has a little taste of Kunqu Opera of later generations. This song was also famous at that time with a dragonfly poem. Some people still admire the nodded shook their heads, seeming to be reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and those who know it are also common.

But no matter what others are, Yang Chendong is indeed going to fall asleep this time. He is obviously used to the popular music of later generations, and I really can’t appreciate the set in front of him.

I sang a song for nearly one hour, and I don’t know who’s applauded here. The sleeping Yang Chendong awakened. Then when he lifts the head, two A young girl had bowed down and bowed down, replaced by a woman in her thirties with a nice face.

Looking from the position of Yang Chendong, you can just see a trace of melancholy in the corner of the woman’s eyes. He guessed by himself, presumably it should be an accumulation of life. Those who are year in year out have spent the year in the festivities. If you say that you have never suffered any grievances, it is impossible. On the contrary, all kinds of people must be greeted with a smile, and all kinds of people may take your face. But now that you open the door to do business, you can only wait for it with a smile, and long-term relationship, this melancholy will naturally come with soul fusion.

“Fourth brother, this person is Madam Cui Na’er, the head here. When he was young, he was very beautiful. Even now, there are many people who pursue her. It’s just until now. She is clean and self-conscious. I have never had an affair with any man. Later, I was fancyed by the Master. She manages this nine art nuisance, and speaking of which is not an easy woman.” Yang Yang on the side had the opportunity to express, how could he be polite. In the heart, he envied the elder sister and the Younger Sister. They could get 1,000 taels from the sixth brother in a month, but as the brother, there was nothing.

While this made him feel unfair, he also moved his mind. That is to please his sixth brother and get more money, at least like the elder sister and the Younger Sister. Talk about it when you get the silver. As for the fourth brother to please the sixth brother, will he be looked down upon because of this? Then he doesn’t care. Heaven and Earth is big, isn’t it the biggest silver?

“Also, Cui Na’er is on the stage, it proves that Lady Xiang is about to appear on the stage. She came up to reward money. This is also called asking for rewards. Whoever gives more money later, It is possible to be favored by Lady Xiang. If the opportunity is good, it is very possible to become a guest.” Yang Yang was still chattering there. At this time, someone had already thrown silver and silver on the stage. Copper coins.

I want to make it clear here that Great Ming does not have a silver ticket, and there is even very little silver.

The currency used by the people of the Ming Dynasty was a treasure banknote at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but the treasure banknote depreciated so quickly that it was like waste paper and no one would use it. Private transactions mainly used copper coins and silver, but before the inflow of overseas silver in the late Ming Dynasty, the silver stock of the Ming Dynasty was limited, and the Imperial Court banned the mining of silver mines, so the silver circulating in the market was not sufficient.

The first ticket number in China appeared in the early years of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (after 1820). This first ticket number, called “Rishengchang”, also started from that time. Only then did the silver bill appear.

There is no silver ticket, which also makes it very inconvenient for everyone to trade when they are traveling, and often they need to bring a large amount of silver or copper to trade. It’s like now, giving a reward, and wanting to attract Lady Xiang’s attention, for a time the money is flying towards the stage like a sky.

Of course, only small retail investors that’s all throw money on the stage, and they give too little, so fish in troubled waters, just to prove that they are also a generous master that’s all, just because they are embarrassed. There is such a method. Like the real rich, there are Pimps who walk to the table with a plate and ask for them. Once they receive the money, they will sing aloud to praise the honor of the rewarder.

Naturally, such an approach can also cause a competitive mechanism, allowing more men to spend a lot of money here and let them gain more for themselves.

Pimp started to act and walked to the table one by one, and the silver money on the copper plate began to increase gradually. Yang Houdong was watching this scene with great interest, which was imagined in his mind. They are completely different, so I am naturally a little curious.

While watching and imagining what kind of mechanism would be activated when his restaurant was turned on, he was awakened by a sudden singing and drinking. “Thanks Young Master Wang for 50 taels of silver!”
