Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 149
(Seeking subscription, seeking full order, seeking a higher level!)
Gu Leyou is undoubtedly a guy who likes to be lively and has a lot of experience. He has seen many scenes, but when he learned about the price list of Chunhua Xingyu Building, he couldn't help being shocked, and muttered: "These girls Are they all immortals? The market price is simply skyrocketing."

Hearing the word "immortal", Chen Jin immediately thought of a three-character appellation, which evolved from a commendatory sense to a derogatory sense, and it was indeed the kind that was ecstatic.

Gu Leyou said: "Scholar, let's sit down and listen to the music first, and see if it's worth it."

Chen Jin said: "In the lobby, I'm afraid I won't see Nobile playing and singing on stage."

"It doesn't matter, those gold hairpins are too much to carry, and they open and close their poems and essays, but it doesn't suit my taste."

What Gu Leyou said was the truth. He liked the unrestrained and coquettish type, the type that could meet each other directly and honestly, without talking about feelings.

Talking about feelings is too expensive.

He doesn't really have much money left.

Most of the money was spent on repairing and renovating the Taoist temple, plus the cost of trekking all the way, there was not much left.

Although it is said that Chen Jin will take over the dust tonight, but he can't squander it recklessly, Gu Leyou can't do things like cheating friends.

It's good to listen to ditties, and it's also a kind of pleasant enjoyment.

Chen Jin smiled and said frankly: "I can't afford to hire the golden hairpins. Now that I have them with me, I only have a ten tael silver note left."

Gu Leyou was taken aback for a moment, then blinked: "In that case, after tonight, wouldn't it be a hard life?"

"It's not like I haven't done it before."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but think of the time when they were renting in Gaozhou Mansion. Every night, they searched and searched for supper, and from time to time, they relied on Qiu Buwei to help them out.

Gu Leyou rubbed his chin: "Don't be afraid, the big deal is to sell a bottle of Jingyuan Wan given by Lao Lai. It will definitely sell well here and sell for a good price."

Chen Jin joked: "Then you can go back to your old job."

The three of them sat down at an idle table, ordered a pot of tea, and chatted while listening to music.

"Scholar, do you think it is feasible for me to open an Izumo Temple in Jiangzhou?"

Gu Leyou didn't hide it, and directly expressed his ambition.

Chen Jin replied honestly: "I have never been a Taoist temple, so I don't know how to do it. It shouldn't be easy."

Gu Leyou nodded: "It's really not easy. I'm a newcomer. I don't have any land to ask for. I don't have any people to ask for. I want to start from scratch. How easy is it?"

Chen Jin asked: "It's just why you suddenly want to build a new Izumo Temple?"

"Master's last wish is to develop Taoist temples. What do you mean by 'prosperity'? We need to open more Taoist temples so that everyone in the world knows the existence of Izumo Temple, and that will be considered a success."

When Gu Leyou was talking, there was light in his eyes, and he looked very high-spirited.

Chen Jin understands his ambition. To put it bluntly, it is to give himself a goal, and then move forward and struggle towards that goal.

It's interesting to live like this.

Although it seems that such a goal is a bit too big and too far away.

Liu Yuan next to him couldn't help but said: "Brother Guanzhu, why don't we go to accept some reward tasks from the patrol department first, and then we can make some money?"

Gu Leyou stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth: "This is a good idea. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it depends on money to open the way."

Like Chen Jin, he also obtained a wandering arrest license when he was in Gaozhou Prefecture.With the blessing of this status, it is much better than carrying a signboard to cross the streets to get jobs.As long as you have the skills and means, making money is not difficult.Liu Yuan just happened to be able to help and act as a helping hand.

Speaking of which, Chen Jin was also thinking about this, and it was a bit of a sympathy for each other.

This person, life is endless, and making money cannot stop.

Then Gu Leyou asked about Chen Jin's plan, and when he learned that he was going to enter school next year, he couldn't help but praise: "Scholar, your decision is the best. In this world, nothing is as refreshing as being an official."

This is not the first time he has expressed his views on officials. Chen Jin once asked him if he wanted to be an official.

Gu Leyou's answer was this: "Nonsense, who doesn't want to be an official?"

The idea is one thing, the practice is another.

It is too late for him to learn to read and write now, and it is impossible to learn at all.And there is no relevant background, so let's practice obediently.

After chatting, listen to music.

The talent show in the lobby of Xinghua Chunyu Building was of a high standard and won bursts of applause.

After listening to the song carefully, Gu Leyou couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, you get what you pay for, and there is a reason why you are expensive. Any girl here can go to Chunfeng Tower, and it is estimated that she will be the top card."

Chen Jin didn't answer, he was not interested in the girls' comments, he came here tonight just to satisfy Gu Leyou's curiosity.

……

Chunhua Xingyu Building has three floors, and each floor is more luxurious than the next.

If the threshold on the first floor is the entrance fee, then from the second floor onwards, the threshold is much higher. Not only must you have money, but you must also have a certain background.For example, merchants and the like, even though they have a lot of money, they can't go upstairs, they can only watch eagerly downstairs.

At this time, the lights are just coming on, and the lights on the third floor are already bright.

Open the banquet, push cups and change cups, and the atmosphere is strong.

Even Chunniang, who ranks in the top of the Twelve Gold Hairpins, plays the pipa and sings to add to the fun.

This woman is popular.

And there is only one main reason for her popularity, that is, she was taken by Wang Yujun, the eldest son of the Wang family and the head of the four great talents in Jinling.The two fought fiercely, like glue.

The selection rules for the Jinling Twelve Gold Hairpins are that before the selection, they must be noble and guarded like jade;

Basically, they will stay for two or three years before committing themselves to others.

After all, if it is easy for someone who eats youth to lose his virginity, his worth will also drop.

But there are exceptions to everything. For example, which gold hairpin can withstand the attack of the eldest son of the Wang family?
At most, you want to refuse and welcome, and then half push and half go.

With Wang Yujun joining in, it's hard for Chunniang not to be popular.

Tonight's venue is still hosted by Wang Yujun, and all present are Jiangzhou's literary elites, including two other talents: Yang Qi and Zhao Cheng.

Three of Jinling's four great talents have come, and the remaining one is none other than Jiang Chang, who got the five-color magic brush in his dream.

As an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a flourishing pen and ink, the name of this talented man is not light.

Moreover, the public's psychology likes ranking the most, so there are titles such as the Twelve Gold Hairpins, the Four Great Talents, and so on.Talking about it, I am very happy, and I have a sense of participation.

It's just that Wang Dacai is in a bad mood recently. Although the house is full of friends, he always drinks alone, and even when he is happy with Chun Niang, he is depressed and unable to vent.

He has reason to be bored.

Although he won Wenkui in one fell swoop, this title is already in his pocket, and no one can compete with it.

The most important rare treasure of the Confucian Temple was born, but only the seven-color divine light was seen, and the real thing was not seen, and then disappeared without a sound.

The gorgeous seven-color divine light was like a claw, scratching Wang Yujun's heart unbearably itchy, imagining countless times, what kind of cultural treasure is that?
Brush?Paperweight?And or inkstone?

The inkstone is most likely.

The seven colors of divine light make it easy to think of the rumored Seven Star Inkstone.

Thinking about it this way, there is even more pain in my heart from losing a treasure.

In addition, to be favored by a sage and awarded the title of cultural treasure is even more meaningful to a literati.

But it was all in vain.

The only consolation is that there is currently no sign that Wenbao has fallen into the hands of people, and it is likely that it has sunk back into the bottom of the Jinling River...

This means that there is still a chance to fight.

But he also thought about the pressure from the internal factory. Regarding this year's tribute, the Wang family will definitely bleed a lot, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

When he was in a bad mood, he became even more bohemian, so he simply lived in Chunhua Xingyu Building and didn't go home for several days.

After singing the song, Chunniang sat down beside Wang Yujun like a small bird: "Mr. Jun, don't drink too much wine, and eat some vegetables."

Wang Yujun glanced at her, and suddenly said: "I heard that Qiuyue Tower has a new word called "Butterfly Love Flower". Have you learned it?"

Chunniang's complexion changed, she forced a smile and said: "How can my family steal other people's words?"

Wang Yujun said indifferently: "Aren't you willing to let go of your airs?"

Chunniang hurriedly said: "In front of the young master, the servants don't dare to put on airs. If the young master wants to hear it, I will learn it and sing it for you."

Wang Yujun waved his hand: "The way the tune is sung is so common, it's not a big deal. It's just that the word is really well written, 'I don't regret it when my clothes get wider and wider, and I'll make people haggard because of Iraqi', with deep affection. Hehe, that I had a relationship with him once in the Confucian Temple, and I was surprised to be able to write this new poem at such a young age."

Chunniang asked: "I heard that Mr. Chen is from the south of the Lingnan. The barren south of the Lingnan can produce talented people?"

Wang Yujun laughed and said, "So you put on airs and look down on people... I don't believe that Xinghua Chunyulou didn't send a greeting card to that man whose belt is getting wider."

Chun Niang hesitated and said: "I heard Jiu Gu mention that she sent someone to send him a greeting card, mainly for etiquette."

"Oh, is he here?"

"I didn't see it."

Wang Yujun clicked his tongue and said: "This guy who dares to feel even bigger, he doesn't give you face."

Chun Niang did not forget to blow her ears: "Maybe this Mr. Chen can't write other new words for a while, so it's not easy to come here. Not everyone can be as eloquent as Mr. Jun, and the pen is brilliant."

Wang Yujun smiled slightly: "A good work is one and only, and I didn't write it casually. But I'm a little curious about him. I heard from my family that my cousin took the initiative to visit him on Wenmiao Street, and there are many words of praise." .”

Chun Niang was startled, and asked, "But Mr. Bao?"

Wang Yujun said indifferently, "Why do you ask questions knowingly?"

Chun Niang suddenly became embarrassed.

As the person next to her, she knew more or less the inside story. The relationship between Wang's two school seeds was not as brotherly and friendly as it seemed, it was quite subtle.As for the specifics, it is difficult for outsiders to understand clearly, let alone prying rashly, so as not to violate taboos.

Wang Yujun said again: "Bao'er seems to be peaceful, but his vision is not low. To be praised by him, this man whose belt is getting wider must have something extraordinary."

Having said that, it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to visit Chen Jin, because the other party does not have such qualifications.

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Chun Niang frowned unhappily, and asked the servant what happened.

The servant hurriedly replied: "I heard that Mr. Chen came and was sitting on the first floor listening to the music, and he was recognized."

"Mr. Chen? Which Mr. Chen?"

"It's the man whose belt is getting wider."

Hearing this, Wang Yujun's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, since the person is here, let him come up and talk about it."

"As ordered."

The servants hurriedly obeyed, and hurried down to invite people.

……

Listening to the music in the lobby, the atmosphere is warm, cheers, applause, one after another, never stopped.

Not long after it got dark, it was already full, which shows that there are still many rich people.

Gu Leyou liked this kind of scene very much. The applause was a bit louder than others, which stood out and attracted attention.

Compared to him, Chen Jin was much quieter.

One movement and one stillness form a stark contrast.

Liu Yuan is also quiet, but he is sitting on the side, looking like a little transparent, easy to be ignored directly.

After refilling two pots of tea and snacks, the time is almost up.

As for staying overnight in Goulan on the first day in Jiangzhou, it was just a mouthful. Although Gu Leyou was a bit wretched, he was not so impatient. In his words: "We are a serious Taoist priest."

Chen Jin doubted that this "seriousness" was not serious, maybe it was the price of Chunhua Xingyulou that made Taoist priests serious.

In fact, this guy is very fussy about spending money, probably because he has been afraid of being poor since he was a child, and knows that making money is not easy.

Therefore, I have always lived frugally. When I was a guard in Yizhuang, I was able to save more than 80 yuan.

And the girl who has been thinking about Qin Cao for a long time, after turning over her brand, Gu Leyou even ate a Jingyuan pill, thinking that after spending such a large sum of money, of course he should enjoy himself and make every cent spent Money well worth it.

These are his values, rough and productive and measured.

Therefore, tonight's pick-me-up is just drinking tea and listening to music.

The three of them were about to get up and leave, when suddenly a tortoise came running up, saluted Chen Jin with a smile all over his face and said, "Dare to ask your Excellency, but Mr. Chen?"

Chen Jin nodded: "I am."

The tortoise was overjoyed: "Since Mr. Chen is here, why don't you reveal your identity?"

Chen Jin said: "I'm just here to listen to the music with my friends tonight, don't be meaningless."

"Young Master Chen is too polite. If you spread the word, your peers will laugh at my Chunhua Xingyu Tower for neglecting the distinguished guests."

Gu Leyou was stunned by this conversation, looked at Mr. Gui, and then at Chen Jin, and suddenly woke up: Dare to Love Scholar was born in Jiangzhou Fengyue Realm, and has become a well-known figure?

The Taoist shuddered, and his eyes shone brightly.

When he was in Gaozhou Mansion, Gu Leyou had envied Chen Jin more than once, saying that he would have his skin and talent, and if he could reciprocate, he would not need to spend money to visit Chunlou.

Not only do you not need to spend money, but you may also make money.

The current situation, isn't it just right?
Here, Guigong exchanged warm greetings, and soon ran down another entourage, saying that the prince upstairs has an invitation, and he wants to invite Chen Jin upstairs.

That is the third floor of Chunhua Xingyu Tower!
