Chapter 336 Work Together
On the first night of the first lunar month, there is no night, gambling all over the city.
The whole capital is full of lights, pedestrians are weaving, and the traffic is full. There are temporary casinos on both sides of the street, as small as a fruit, a load of firewood, a piece of pastry, as big as gold, silver and pearls, they are all used to make a bet to see how much money in the guest's bag, how much courage he is, and how much he is willing to bet.
The sound of silk bamboo from the dance hall resounds through the sky. The fragrance of wine and coriander in the hotel teahouse touches the stomachs of the gamblers on the street. There is a kind of fragrance that cannot be replaced, and can only be seen from afar. Countless noble women can't be played close to them. They wear new Ding and the shrewd and cautious maid escorted him, strolled leisurely in the crowd, did whatever he wanted, and stopped wherever he was interested. When he was happy, he instructed the people around him to enter the field to gamble. When he was interested, he went to the hotel teahouse beside him to rest, eat and drink, and feel comfortable. When meeting acquaintances, it's just a smile to say hello. No one laughs at each other. Instead, they praise each other's good-looking clothes and makeup. They are the most eye-catching scenery in the first lunar night. They are looking at others, and others are also looking at them.
This is the capital. A place with strict rules and order, but it is full of pride, prosperity and uniqueness.
In the clean place at the corner of Panlou Street, there is a very ordinary-looking carriage parked. The angry wind lamp hanging on the front of the car emits a warm light, illuminating the half-exposed face of the window. The young man sits alone in front of the window, with black hair and green scarves, his eyebrows like ink
"It's Lu Erlang." A luxuriously decorated carriage slowly avoided the crowded crowd and drove towards Panlou Street. Rong Qi's grandmother Zhang Shishanniang saw Lu Yan waiting there from afar. She smiled and gently poked Rong Qi, who closed his eyes and rested: "Do you think Lu Erlang is like a person in the picture?"
Rong Qi opened his eyes, looked at it solemnly, and said, "It's like, but it's a little worse than me." The maid beside her couldn't help laughing, and Rong Qi stared at him seriously: "What are you laughing at? Do you mean that your son and I are not as good-looking as Lu Jiaerang? The maid quickly lowered her head and whispered, "No one can compare with the seventh master.
"Nonsense! Open your eyes and tell lies. I can't compare with our seventh grandma. Rong Qi turned his head with a hippie smile and asked Zhang Shanniang, "Shan Niang, don't you think so?"
Zhang Shanniang has not been used to it for a long time. She said indifferently, "Just brag. Anyway, it's too expensive to blow the sky.
Rong Qi frowned and said, "I said, Shan Niang, why are you not cute at all? Your husband, if I say incense, you will say incense. If I say stinky, you will say stinky. This is the way to be a wife.
Zhang Shanniang smiled and said, "My husband is right.,...
While talking, the carriage approached the corner of the street. Rong Qi was busy and stopped. He jumped out of the car and went to greet Lu Yan: "Minxing!"
Lu Yan answered, jumped out of the car, first met with Rong Qi, and then saluted Zhang Shanniang in the carriage from a distance and said, "The inner son is waiting for the two of you in the shop."
"Let's go first, we'll be there later." Rong Qi gestured to the carriage behind him, jumped on Lu Yan's carriage rudely, looked around, and patted Lu Yan's shoulder with a smile: "You will enjoy happiness. It doesn't look conspicuous outside, and it's comfortable to arrange inside." Lu Yan smiled and said, "My inner body is inconvenient. You should always put her first." Rong Qi sat down comfortably and said, "I know, men, you should let women do more in small things." He smiled again and said, "It's rare for you to take the initiative to invite me out. What's the fun?" Lu Yan sat up straight and said with a smile, "Nothing else, the keeper in her shop ordered her to set up a small Guanpu game to play."
Rong Qi's lazy shoulder suddenly straightened up and said, "How do you know we want to play this?" Everyone has a three-point gamble, not to mention such a relaxing time for the whole people? The rules of the Rong family are strict, but this Rong Qi is an old man. It is no secret that young people like to have fun.
Lu Yan didn't say this to him, but said, "Does Qilang like it too? It's just for fun. Since you like it, it's even better.
Rong Qi [Xing] struggled: "In other places, you are always tied up, and you should have a good time today. Who else did you invite?"
Lu Yan smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I didn't invite you indiscriminately because I invited you." Rong Qi raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are too careful. I'm not a picky and arrogant person." Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you." Lu Yan didn't say much, just led him to the door of the shop. The five big red lanterns hanging high at the head of the shop's door rotated in the wind, and a colorful shed was tied below, in which there were some pearls, crown combs, toys, fans, hairpins, and silk. Many people gathered around there, and the laughter was full of laughter, making a lot of noise.
Seeing that the carriage arrived, Yao Zhuo came forward and carefully escorted several people into the backyard. Lin Jinrong was wrapped in a hood and a big fur cloak, and his body was tightly covered, revealing only a face. He stood in front of the door with a smile. After seeing the salute with Rong Qi and Zhang Shanniang, he led them into
Zhang Shanniang had just heard Rong Qi say the reason, and she was also a little eager to try. She sighed, "In the early years, I also secretly played with Xing Niang and Qiong Niang, but it was not such a serious way to play."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "I wanted to invite the two of them, but I always felt a little presumptuous."
Zhang Shanniang was interested: "Don't be afraid. If you don't mind the annoyance, I will immediately ask someone to call the two of them. Qiong Niang has been in a bad mood recently, so she just had to arrange it with her.
"It's fun to have a lot of people." Rong Qi is a familiar person. He is not afraid that Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong will think he is too much trouble. He said directly to Lu Yan, "Min Xing, you have always been too serious and correct. With such an opportunity, it is time to find ways to make more friends with a few more people. Whether you stay in Beijing or let go of foreign office in the future, it will only be good for you. Not to mention the eunuch, let's talk about the shop of the second sister-in-law, the business may be better.
Since he took the initiative to mention it, this is a good opportunity. Lu Yan took the opportunity to say, "To tell you the truth, it's really a little selfish to invite the virtuous husband and his husband today."
Rong Qi and Zhang Shanniang looked at each other without revealing a face. Zhang Shanniang stopped the people who were going to invite Xu Xingniang and Zhao Qiongniang. After signaling the people around her to step down, Rong Qifang said, "Tell the truth, if you can help, you don't say much, but if you can
"He is an old son, attacking the kindness of his ancestors and relying on the power of his father and brother, which is to tell the truth.
He was direct, and Lu Kun simply said what happened in the shop and said, "I'm not a person who wants to cause trouble to others easily, but in the long run, I'm afraid it's always troublesome. One day, it's better to plan early. It would be great if the virtuous and the virtuous can take advantage of the situation. If not, please help build a bridge. After thinking about it, she added, "We were not short of money. We were afraid that this shop would not be opened for trouble, but she had a careful wish, so she couldn't leave this shop."
Rong Qi is not a person who doesn't know anything. As soon as he hears about it, he understands: "Yes, you have no foundation in this capital. If it's an ordinary business, it's okay. The treasure business is already eye-catching. The better the business is recently, the more eye-catching At the feet of the emperor, although he did not dare to buy and sell, he was targeted, and it was very troublesome to cause trouble in three days. Don't worry, it's up to me!"
He was so bold that Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong were very surprised. Just as he was about to thank him, Zhang Shanniang smiled, took over the words, and said softly, "It's not killing and arson, violating discipline and law, but it's natural to help everyone who can help. But it's just, can I hear Rong Niang talk about your wish?
The meaning ofis that it is okay to raise your hand. Zhang Shanniang is much more shrewd than Rong Qi and easily perfunctory, but Lin Jinrong did not intend to perfunctory her. She said calmly, "My wish is just to open a righteous village and try my best to let the poor women I see around me have a home."
Zhang Shanniang showed a little surprise on her face, and then quickly covered it up and smiled gently: "Rong Niang's idea is excellent, but please forgive me for my rude words. There are so many poor women in the world. How much can you control with your own power!"
Lin Jinrong said quietly, "What I want is not the number, but the peace of mind." She guessed that Zhang Shanniang would probably regard her as a person who fished for fame, but she didn't want to explain it. Just because of this kind of thing, she believed it, and she couldn't explain it clearly if she didn't believe it.
Zhang Shanniang pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. How can you think about it?" So what do you want us to do?
Rong Qi came over and said, "What should I do? Anyway, someone came to find fault and asked them to find me.
Zhang Shanniang raised her eyebrows, and a crisp smile sounded like a silver bell: "Qilang, Qilang, you should fight hard to force your men. I think you and Lu Erye should go out to play. This is Rong Niang's shop, it's our woman's business, or it's better for me to tell her
Lin Jinrong admired Zhang Shanniang with all his heart. With a gentle sentence, he made it clear that he did not do things that were illegal and undisciplined, and did not make a shield for them without principle, let alone Rong Qi's boldness and loyalty were easily used by others. Turning around, he erased the men's face and Things. Next, if she can't talk about it well, she will refuse herself, and Lu Yan and Rong Qi can't say anything. At present, following Zhang Shanniang's meaning, he gave Lu Yan a wink, and Lu Yan persuaded Rong Qi to go out: "Let's go and play outside."
After being blamed by the two, Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "What I'm doing here is a legitimate business. Usually, I just use the name of the house, and I won't make more trouble." Looking at Zhang Shanniang's look, she euphemistically said that if she was willing to help, she would share her dividend, and especially emphasized that if something unfortunate happened, it would not make the husband and wife suffer losses.
Zhang Shanniang looked uncertain and muttered.
