super concubine

Chapter 232
Piao Miao Building is a large romantic venue in Yangzhou, and at the same time it is the largest casino in Jianghuai and even Soochow!

Those who can enter and leave the Piao Miao Building are all people with backgrounds, either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen with a lot of money!

According to legend, the smallest chips in Piaomiaolou are 100 taels of silver per bet!And the biggest one is 1 taels!

Don't think that the amount of 100 taels of silver is very small. According to the market price of later generations, 100 taels of silver is equivalent to 3 to [-] yuan...

This is just the smallest bet of Piaomiaolou!
However, this is not the most important reason why Xiao Mo suspects Piaomiaolou. The reason why Xiao Mo suspects Piaomiaolou is that there is only one boss in Piaomiaolou!

Such an industry that integrates pornography and gambling, and has such a huge scale, such a handicraft, Xiao Mo can't think of anyone else in the world who can open the Piao Miao Building except Xiu Family!

Of course, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce also has that ability, but...it is a chamber of commerce with a different nature!

In addition to the Xiu family, the royal family can also open a restaurant like this, but... this may also be ruled out by Xiao Mo. The emperor even has to do business with the Xiu family in a sneaky manner. This is still an aboveboard business. Compared with Piao Miao Lou's criticized industry is much more stable and has a much better reputation, but the emperor still dare not tell the officials about the opening of the bank!

why?

Because in ancient times, people were prejudiced against merchants, and the merchants of "Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce" were ranked last. The ancients believed that merchants valued profits and were good at intrigue, so they all looked down on merchants!
With this hat on his head, one can imagine how the officials would be arguing if the emperor and the Xiu family partnered to open a bank.

Since Xiu's family is not the owner of Piaomiaolou, nor is the emperor, who else in the world can open such a huge restaurant?
Xiao Mo thought for a while, and finally came up with the answer, the answer is three words: White Lotus Sect!

It is also very simple to think about it. For many years, the White Lotus Sect has vigorously developed believers all over the country. Among them, some beautiful women are the targets of the White Lotus Sect. Dossier, remember that several cases of missing women are related to the White Lotus Sect!
What does the White Lotus Sect want these women to do?
Reminiscent of Piao Miao Building, the answer is not difficult to understand!
Now that Xiu Zhiming also understands, you, the White Lotus Sect, are doing empty-handed white wolf business, how much does it cost to open a restaurant?Then you opened a gambling shop in the restaurant, and then went to all over the country to arrest some innocent women from good families, brainwash them to receive customers, and then make huge profits from it, and now... you stole the template of Huitong Bank, even my money. up!
Thinking about it makes me angry, especially when I think that the White Lotus Sect is now fighting with the imperial court, and their food comes from their own bank. Xiu Zhiming feels uncomfortable for a while. Believe this feeling, Zhao Quan understands it better!

Otherwise, Zhao Quan wouldn't have readily agreed to let Yun Xue come to Jiangning!
When the princess travels, especially when she travels far away, she is also very particular about it. One is the ostentation!The second is strict!

This time when Yunxue went to Jiangning to pray for the disaster victims, the guard of honor she used was not the guard of honor dedicated to the princess, but she registered with the Ministry of Rites, and then directly took away the guard of honor of the imperial envoy.

Regarding this point, the civil and military officials did not say anything, after all, they were praying for the disaster victims on behalf of the emperor, even if they were imperial envoys!
Not only did no one object, Shi Guanyi, an admonisher, also wrote a special poem for Yunxue on this matter, praising the princess's deeds of caring for the common people.

This Fu is more than 3000 characters long, and it is in the style of parallel prose. I don't know why this guy is showing off like this on purpose. I don't know if it is because after Han Ying's reputation was ruined, he took a fancy to the vacant seat among the four friends of the article.

In short, this Fu, which was added by Shi Guanyi himself to make things worse, was appreciated by Zhao Quan, and then he informed the people of the whole country that Yun Xue came to Jiangning to pray for the people, and made a big publicity. Of course, the place where the disaster victims gather must be beaten to death!

Xiao Mo also saw this Fu, the full text is too long, generally speaking, Shi Guanyi's literary talent is not bad, but in order to fill up the space of [-] characters, this guy moaned without illness, and the level of compiling characters from short sentences to the extreme When Su Yue applauded the princess and asked Xiao Mo to comment on this Fu, Xiao Mo thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote a line of poems on paper.

yo yo cloud nine,
The eyebrows are long and the eyebrows are long.

Beat the beat and sigh the strong man,
Get fame now.

No class can be taught,
There is a good doctor for the disease.

Moaning the water of the Yangtze River,
Yin stay unwilling to help!
This poem is not very well written, and there are quite some flaws in the poem, but since it was written by Xiao Mo, Su Yue didn't dare to neglect it, and savored it carefully.

At first glance, the first two sentences of this poem are written to praise the princess for coming to Jiangning this time to pray for the disaster victims!The second sentence is to focus on expressing an idea of ​​'getting fame immediately'!

Su Yue frowned, Xiao Dacai wants to get fame right away?Isn't this overkill?
The status of Sergeant An Chao is not as high as that of literati, so Su Yue shook his head slightly when he read this sentence.

After reading on, Xiao Mo used the allusion of "teaching without class" in the phrase "no class can be taught". Su Yue frowned again, why did he jump to the cause of education again?

The last sentence, moaning the Yangtze River water, chanting and not willing to help!It means that I sighed at the flowing water of the Yangtze River. There is so much water, but... why did it all flow into that person's stomach?

Well, Su Yue understands, Xiao Mo is laughing at Shi Guanyi's stomach full of river water!

I don't know if Xiao Mo is praising Shi Guanyi or belittling Shi Guanyi. At this time, Zhou Ji, Li Zhun, and Xie Yan walked in. The three of them can be said to be an iron triangle in Jiangning. We came and went together.

Seeing Xie Yan, Xiao Mo reluctantly stepped forward to salute, and shouted: "Grandfather!"

Xie Yan laughed, "Good grandson!"

Xiao Mo rolled his eyes, this old man is clearly taking advantage of him!

There's no way, who let me put Xie Yunjing on the table?
Then, Shi Guanyi's Fu was placed on the table for the three of Zhou Ji to read.

An eloquent [-]-word parallel prose is not so difficult. Ancient parallel prose pays attention to duality. Every sentence, or a sentence sentence, must be written in couplets. When writing parallel prose, in order to meet the dual requirements, we often have to find some obscure words to fill in the numbers. This is why people later said that other people's articles are moaning without disease!

To give the best example, Parallel Prose No. 1 is undoubtedly Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng". The preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng is only a few hundred words long. Sir, there's so much to write!But Shi Guanyi actually wrote three thousand words in this piece of Fu, just to praise Yun Xue, God knows where he found so many excuses to write!

"This person's writing is pretty good!" Zhou Ji praised after reading the Fu.

I can't praise it, at least I don't have the courage of Shi Guanyi, and the flattering skills of Shi Guanyi!
Li Zhun also nodded, but he didn't say anything.

How to say?say what?At this time, Li Zhun was also speechless. This guy, two-thirds of the [-]-word article is flattering. Do you want me to praise him for flattering?

Of the three, only Xie Yan snorted coldly, and then looked at Xiao Mo's inscription next to him.

"Hey... this poem..."

Su Yue hurriedly said: "Gong Xie, this is the poem written by your grandson-in-law for Lord Shi's Fu!"

"Oh?" Xie Yan heard that this poem was written by Xiao Mo, so he looked at it carefully, and even Zhou Ji and Li Zhun came over again.

"This poem... is written in such a mess!" Zhou Ji glanced over and found something was wrong. This poem is not neat at all, so why look at it?So he looked at Xiao Mo and complained: "Zi Heng, why did you marry Xie's Pearl, and what you wrote became more and more unsightly?"

Hearing Zhou Ji's words, Su Yue who was beside him also muttered in his heart: Who said otherwise!
Just now Su Yue was puzzled, how could Xiao Mo write such a poem?

Of course, Su Yue still has self-knowledge, what level is Xiao Mo, and what level is he?Even Han Ying had no choice but to face Xiao Mo, so of course Su Yue would not speak out what was in his heart.

When Zhou Ji questioned Xiao Mo, Xie Yan and Li Zhun looked at each other and smiled, and then Li Zhun looked at Xiao Mo and said, "Ziheng, Ziheng, it's not enough to get Han Ying away, Shi Guanyi is too Offended you? Want you to scold him in such a way?"

"Uh... my lord, the students have no such intentions!" Xiao Mo was speechless when he thought of Han Ying's incident. This ancient power of public opinion is very powerful. For example, last time, he just kept Han Ying from stepping down. Who knew that an article would write the future prime minister, Boss Han, to Qiongzhou!
"You still say you don't have that meaning?" Xie Yan also laughed, then patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, that Shi Guanyi is just a doctor who knows how to advise. You don't even look down on Han Ying, a Hanlin scholar, so why are you still timid after marrying my daughter from the Xie family?"

Xiao Mo gave Xie Yan a blank look, feeling that the old man is also a master who is not afraid of things, and even urged himself to go to Shi Guanyi to do right, could it be... this old man has a grudge against Shi Guanyi?

"Hmph! What a mess, the princess is praying for the people, and she can create so many bright halls. I think this Shi Guanyi is full of nonsense!" Xie Yan swears, and then looks at the Fu on the table. Shaking his head carelessly!

Emotional Xie Yan was also blocked by Shi Guanyi's words!

PS: This chapter is purely for everyone to relax and relax. Of course, it is also a transition. After all, the princess is going out. It would be too hasty to make a transition without foreshadowing. , The meaning of the poem has been explained in this chapter, but there is another meaning, I don’t know if you have seen it, here’s a trick first, if you see it, you can leave a message under the book review, hehe... Yes, Ink is empty can help you write a Tibetan acrostic or something like that, or a confession poem!
