Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 487 Cosimo-Medici

"Do you know what it means to be in the hands of the Canton Stock Exchange?"

"May all your wishes come true."

"To put it simply, Chen Zhangbo has a dream tonight. As long as you open your mouth, the dream will come true the next day."

At the welcome banquet at Guangzhou Wanguo Restaurant, Chen Jinghe, who was unconscious after drinking, was sent back to the temporary residence. When he woke up the next day, his memory was already fragmented, but he remembered these three sentences clearly.

The person who said this was a businessman from Nanyang, named Liang Youcheng, who had great influence in countries such as Palembang and Java.

In the next few days, Chen Jinghe realized that what Liang Youcheng said was not groundless.

The businessman who came to the office every day to post greetings to himself after taking office for seven days was like a crucian carp crossing the river.

Big and small, public and private, domestic and foreign.

The cost of each banquet was as high as several thousand taels. In addition to the delicacies and delicacies, there were naturally Jiao'e and Ji concubines from Wanbang.

The life of King Zhou may not be as happy as this one.

Chen Jinghe has lived a "hard" life for more than 20 years. When did he fight such a rich battle?

Fortunately, no one has sent money to Chen Jinghe yet.

Chen Jinghe also looked down on money, if someone gave money, he would leave the meeting immediately.

"This new boss is a member of the Chen family. The Chen family is as rich as an enemy country. Wouldn't it be nonsense to try to buy him with money?"

No one mentioned bribery anymore, but the courtship is non-stop all day, stretching out your hand without hitting the smiling face, eating, drinking and having fun together every day, it's always a three-point friendship, isn't it?
Chen Jinghe also simply let himself go, probably because of his dissatisfaction with Chen Yunfu and pessimism about his current situation, which made him indulge in debauchery even more.

"Perhaps, it's not bad to just be a happy prince like this?"

At one point, Chen Jinghe even had the absurd idea of ​​writing to Chen Yunfu, asking him to go to the crown prince himself.

Perhaps this seems very unpromising, but thinking about the thousands of years of Chinese dynasty history, there are hundreds of royal descendants like Chen Jinghe.

Here, there are eighty if not a hundred people who are more talented than Chen Jinghe.

It's not worth regretting.

Fortunately, Chen Jinghe has a good wife that Chen Yunfu personally chose for him, and she is working hard to persuade him.

After playing for half a month, Chen Jinghe finally remembered that he still had a lot of serious work to do.

But before Chen Jinghe got up his spirits and decided to pull himself together, Chen Jiading approached him again.

"Go, I'll take you to a good place today."

"what?"

The first thing Chen Jinghe thought of was: "What a good place, it can't be Wanguo Restaurant or a similar brothel."

"No." Chen Jiading smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you get there."

Therefore, Chen Jinghe, who was curious, boarded Chen Jiading's carriage, and the latter rushed all the way to a place in the city that Chen Jinghe didn't expect.

Guangzhou Tianfu University.

You can tell from the name that this is a school.

In fact, this is a school, and it is the largest youth school in Guangzhou.

"What are you doing at school?"

Chen Jinghe first looked at the six big characters on the archway, and then looked at the huge crowd of people in front of him, which made him even more confused.

"This is the good place you said?"

"It looks like you've been in Nanjing for too long."

Chen Jiading's carriage entered the school through a special entrance without any hindrance. The former with the old god introduced to Chen Jinghe: "Today is the graduation day. From the past two years, every time they graduate, the students here will put on a performance." .

At first, it was just a few dandies playing around, but in the end, those foreign students who came to our school in Guangzhou followed suit and made booing. No one thought that these children would be so good at booing. Affects almost everyone.

Therefore, every time when Tianfu Academy graduates, various singing and dancing performances emerge in endlessly, which are very eye-catching. "

At the end, Chen Jiading also sighed that it is good to be young.

Chen Jinghe was dumbfounded.

A group of students, singing and dancing?

This is not a student, what is the difference between that and a brothel.

If such an unbearable incident happened in Nanjing, the officials of the Department of Education would kill themselves!

"Do the officials of the Guangzhou Education Department ignore it?"

Chen Jiading was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Confucianism and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism have never had any foundation in our Guangdong province, it was so thousands of years ago, and it is still the same now.

Even in the Song Dynasty, the people of Guangdong and Hai were still used to call us the southern barbarians in the north of the Yangtze River. The characteristic of Guangzhou is tolerance. Tolerance of all countries can naturally tolerate all kinds of whimsy. It is natural for children to be playful and crazy. In addition, there are students from the kingdom of all nations, so this nature is much more free and easy than before. "

Just like that, Chen Jinghe followed Chen Jiading to watch a large-scale song and dance that he had never seen in his life.

What is the first impression of Chinese traditional musical instruments?
Elegance, style, nobility, artistic conception.

Small bridges, flowing water, houses, withered vines and old trees, faint crows.

Or high mountains and flowing water meet bosom friends.

No matter how frivolous she is, she is still a fair lady and a gentleman.

But when dozens or even hundreds of instruments such as sheng, drum, flute and flute are playing in unison and the rhythm is accelerated, when the sound of suona sounds and blends in at the right time, it will be just as exciting!
If the artistic conception has Su Shi's water melody song head, if it wants to explode, there is also an ambush on all sides!

In short, Chen Jinghe, who was at the scene, also had the idea of ​​leaving the viewing platform and singing and dancing with the students of Tianfu Academy.

In addition to the performances of the Ming students themselves, students from abroad also performed dances and songs from their respective countries.

This is definitely a cultural exchange feast that is enough to be recorded in world history.

Chen Jinghe calmed down his fiery mood a little, and with a glance, he found a familiar figure on the viewing platform.

That is my younger sister, Chen Yaxi!

Of course, he also saw his brother-in-law Hu Hongmo.

Ever since she came to Guangzhou from Nanjing, Chen Yaxi finally got her wish, and the lovers finally got married.

Of course, it was impossible for Chen Yunfu to let his daughter live in Guangzhou without a name or distinction. He gave her a marriage, but she didn't come.

The wedding was far more low-key than Chen Jinghe's wedding. Even the relatives close to the Hu family didn't know Chen Yaxi's real identity.

As for the Hu family who learned of Chen Yaxi's true identity, let alone the shock.

Chen Jinghe went up to meet each other, and then found that beside Chen Yaxi and his wife, there was a young foreigner.

That brilliant golden hair and the iconic heterochromatic pupils could be a Han talent.

However, he is quite handsome.

"elder brother!"

Seeing Chen Jinghe, Chen Yaxi was naturally surprised and excited: "When did you come to Guangzhou?"

This girl doesn't often read newspapers.

Chen Jinghe didn't intend to explain this matter to Chen Yaxi, and greeted his uncle after casually perfunctory. Of course, he didn't forget to ask about the identity of this foreign boy.

"Brother, let me introduce you."

Chen Yaxi took the initiative to act as a middleman, pointing to this handsome guy with blond hair and said: "His name is Cosimo Medici, and he comes from a place called Florence. His family runs a bank there, and he heard the story of our Daming. Later, he came to us by sea ship from Arabia earlier this year, and now he is planning to go to school in Guangzhou, and my husband and I are his Chinese teachers."

Cosimo-Medici?
It's a really weird name.
