Chapter 470 Second Young Master Hou (Please subscribe!)
"I heard that the "Twelve Theater" no longer tells stories!"

"If you don't tell a story, what else can you do?"

Hearing someone question it, the person who spoke was full of complacency, and said with a smile: "People don't tell it anymore, because there is a better way than telling stories!"

"A better way than telling a story? How—how is that possible?"

Hearing this, everyone felt a little unbelievable. Those Jinling people who are extremely confident in culture all thought this story was so good. It can be seen that this story is really good. Now that there is a better way than telling stories, they don’t believe it!

The man was not in a hurry when he heard this, but said cheerfully: "We have stayed in Jinling for many years, so it's normal that we don't know about Jingzhou! The reason why the Twelve Theater is called a theater is because there are no stories in it. , but acting out a story!"

"A show story?"

Hearing this, everyone "hissed" and took a deep breath, expressing surprise and sighing helplessly at the same time.

"Hey! I didn't expect that Jingzhou's humanistic development has reached such a level now! And we in Jinling are still stuck in our ways. I don't know when we will be like them?"

"That's not true! If the magistrate does it, go to Jingzhou to bring the "Twelve Theater" to our Jinling. Wouldn't it be a pity if we Jinling people can't hear such a good story?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately agreed with it. It seems that this is what the people want!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Twelve couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. In addition to solving the problem of refugees, he also has another purpose in coming to Jinling this time, which is to inspect the environment of Jinling in advance and see the theater here. If it is open, is it feasible?
But as far as it seems, it is very feasible!
"Hehe, magistrate? Don't think about it anymore, I'm afraid he can't even take care of himself now, how can he have the leisure to take care of other things?"

With a cold snort from his nose, the man said so.

"That's right! I heard that the wave of refugees is coming to Jinling soon! I heard that many people in the city are quite dissatisfied with the increase in food prices. When the refugees arrive, they will probably follow suit. At that time, he can't say whether he can sit in the prefect's position, so why would he care about other things?"

When everyone thought about it, it really made sense. They had heard about the refugee tide a long time ago. Recently, the gates of the city are heavily guarded every day, and people entering and leaving have to be questioned for a while. It must be because of the refugee tide!

"No, no!"

At this moment, a man with a folding fan came in, and happened to hear everyone's analysis, so he shook his head and said, when everyone saw him, they immediately cupped their hands and said, "So it's the Second Young Master Hou!"

Monkey?

Hearing this name, Zhang Twelve wanted to laugh a little, monkey, you still have Bajie!
The second son of Hou is not called Hou Er, his real name is Hou Junxie, and Hou Junting, the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, is his eldest brother, because Hou Junting is too famous in Jinling, but Hou Junxie is a foolish son. In the eyes of Jinling people who prefer poetry and writing, this kind of person is not worthy of respect, so calling him the second son of Hou is mainly because of his brother Hou Junting's face.

Moreover, this title is also quite elegant. People would naturally disdain the title of Mr. Hou alone, but this second Mr. Hou is a compromise title, and Hou Junxie has become accustomed to it, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Hou Junxie, as a well-known young master in Jinling, how could there be no place for him in Fengyue?

He came to the "Yunling family" as usual, and when he first entered the door, he heard people discussing the matter of the prefect Wang Chengen. At this time, he naturally would not agree with their words. How could he show that he is different? ?

So came such an alternative opening remarks!

Seeing everyone greeting him, Hou Junxie also felt particularly bright on his face, and nodded slightly to everyone with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Second Master Hou, I don't know why you made such a statement?"

After the greeting, someone asked.

As the second young master of the Hou family Liangzhuang, the younger brother of Hou Junting, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not surprising that Hou Junxie knows something that ordinary people don't know, so after hearing his words, everyone became interested: Could it be that this What is hidden in the middle?
Seeing the curious faces of the crowd surrounding him, Hou Junxie felt very proud, shook his head again, and then said slowly: "Speaking of this, I know some things that ordinary people don't! Want to hear it?"

Looking at the fiery eyes of the crowd, and knowing what they were thinking without saying a word, Hou Junxie laughed triumphantly again.

And the brothel woman named Xiaohong on the stage originally came to see her dancing in the lobby, so there were not many tables of guests watching her dance, so she danced very aggrievedly, now even the few tables of guests don’t look at her, but surround a man and say When I started speaking, I felt even more grief and indignation in my heart, stomped my feet and "hummed", and simply stopped singing and dancing, and went back upstairs...

…………

The bustard is familiar with the structure of Jinling City, and the "Yunling Family" is located in the center of Jinling City, surrounded by many restaurants, she trotted to the nearest one, bought some cooked food and came back, running around coming……

The motivation that supported her along the way was Zhang Twelve's stack of bank notes that had once been swayed in front of her eyes...

Back at "Yunling Family", the first thing she notices is that Hou Junxie is coming. She is very familiar with Hou Junxie, and she is so familiar that she no longer has the urge to go up to say hello when she sees him.

This Hou Junxie is a flirtatious young man, it would be strange not to come to "Yunling family" every day, so she didn't take it seriously, but saw that the second floor was empty, and immediately frowned.

According to her understanding, Xiaohong's song should not be finished, but she is gone!
This little rascal has a lot of guts!
However, seeing that everyone in the hall was not dissatisfied, she felt relieved. Regardless of these things, she felt that she had to give the cooked food to the ugly man to get the money before it was a serious matter!

After putting the cooked food on the table, the old bustard said flatteringly: "Master, the hard food you mentioned, I have already bought it for you!"

Zhang Twelve opened the paper bag, and there were some lo mei in it. He twitched his index finger when he smelled it, and immediately started eating.

The old bustard watched Zhang Twelve feasting, and did not leave, but stood there smiling at Zhang Twelve embarrassingly.

This made Zhang Twelve feel a little uncomfortable. Who the hell is eating there? If there is such a disgusting woman standing next to him, can he be comfortable?
So he asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

"........."

The bustard suddenly had a bad premonition, is this guy pretending to be stupid or is he really stupid?
what's up?

Of course it is asking for money!

So he said a little coyly: "Master, this cooked food was bought from the most famous restaurant in Jinling City. The price is not a small sum..."

The meaning is obvious, just want money!
Zhang Twelve couldn't stop sneering in his heart, squinting his eyes at her and said, "Oh, it's okay, the remaining money is just my hard work for you, so don't pay me back!"

The most famous restaurant in Jingzhou now is Zhang Twelve's, and he managed the restaurant for a period of time when he was in Liangzhou, so he naturally knows the price of the dishes.

It can be said that Jingzhou has the highest prices, but a good meal in Jingzhou costs only a few taels of silver, and he just gave the old bustard ten taels of silver, which is enough!

"........."

Hearing what Zhang Twelve said, the bustard almost cried!
This is a bit too much!

She thought that the ten taels of silver was a tip for her, so she rushed out to buy vegetables!

Because the increase in food prices has led to the increase in all prices, these few cooked foods cost nearly ten taels of silver, and the rest of the money is only a hundred cash, which is the same as nothing!

My own trip is just a waste of money to run errands!
The more the bustard thought about it, the more angry she wanted to find Zhang Twelve to make a theory, but Zhang Twelve didn't even have the mood to talk to her, so he looked at the people who were talking again, concentrating on it.

Seeing this, the bustard hesitated again and again, thinking it was better to forget it.

This man is undoubtedly a rich man, it's better not to be hostile, and later you will fool him again, I don't believe that he can't spit out so much money!

Thinking of this, the old bustard went upstairs, and she was going to question Xiaohong, why did the song end before it was finished?Does she not want to have a good time?

Thinking of this, she went upstairs with a "thud thud thump"...

…………

The appearance of the bustard did not hinder everyone's desire for the "insider story" that Hou Junxie knew.

They all stared at Hou Junxie with fiery eyes, wanting to hear what kind of inside story he knew!
"You say, if Prince Kang's son marries a wife, what kind of girl will he choose?"

Hou Junxie looked at the crowd and said the first sentence.

"........."

When these words were said, everyone did not react at all.

Aren't you talking about Wang Chengen, the prefect of Jinling?Why did he step over to Prince Kang's son so quickly?And most importantly, these two things don't seem to be next to each other!
"Based on Prince Kang's life experience and his outstanding talents and learning, the candidate to become the crown prince's concubine, apart from being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knowledge of books and principles, the most important thing is naturally a good family background!"

Although he didn't know what Hou Junxie meant by asking this, someone still answered.

Hou Junxie smiled after hearing this, and asked again: "Then what do you think, if Prince Kang's son is married to Wang Yunshi, the only lady in Wang Zhifu, what does that mean?"

"This one……"

This is the first time everyone has heard of this news, why has no one mentioned it before?

Tang Qingyu, the son of King Kang, who is also one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, has a high level of talent and learning because he studied in Jingzhou and has been in Jinling for many years. However, he is not young now, but he has never married. Some people are curious, but there are naturally all kinds of rumors about his marriage!

It was rumored in the city before that Prince Kang's son fell in love with the eldest daughter of Duke Huguo's family, but he rejected him.

Hearing this, most people don't believe it!

Tang Qingyu is an eldest son, his status is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and he is very talented and knowledgeable, which woman would be stupid enough to reject him?

Now hearing what Hou Junxie said, everyone believed it.

Hou Junxie's elder brother, Hou Junting, is one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, along with Prince Kang's son, and naturally makes friends with many people on weekdays. If he heard this, it should be inseparable!

The marriage partner of King Kang's son must naturally have a good family background, and Wang Yunshi's family background is just that her father is the prefect of Jinling. If her father is not even the prefect of Jinling, she is absolutely not qualified to marry Kang Wang's son!

At this juncture, if Kang Wang's son married Wang Yunshi, would it be sending some kind of signal that Kang Wang was optimistic about Wang Chengen and knew that he would not step down, so he let Kang Wang's son marry his girl?

Or, Kang Wang is ready to take action on this matter, and solving the problem of this refugee wave for Wang Chengen, is it a gesture of goodwill to his future in-laws?
Seeing everyone pondering, Hou Junxie smiled and said: "Now, you should know that the magistrate's mansion will not fall so easily, right?"

Everyone thought about it, but didn't answer him.

"Hey, I didn't expect that Prince Kang's son has lived in our Jinling for so many years, but in the end he chose a woman from the north. It's really unreasonable!"

The person who said this sounded like a conservative local, thinking that Jinling women are unparalleled in the world, and Jinling men should marry Jinling women!
"You can't say that!"

Immediately, someone raised a different opinion: "I heard that Wang Yunshi is a top-notch beauty, and she is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, even those beauties in Jinling City are not as good as her! If the official position of Wang Zhifu has not changed, this marriage is considered a good match!"

As soon as this man's words came out, he also got the approval of some people. Presumably these people have seen or heard of Wang Yunshi's amazing appearance. For men, as long as women are beautiful, they can break through all shackles and naturally get their love. support.

"Although I have never seen Wang Yunshi, I have seen her younger brother Wang Ba! That Wang Ba is illiterate and stupid, with the same blood on his body. I really can't imagine how much his sister can do." Excellent!"

"Brother's words are too extreme, just like Hou Gongzi and Hou Ergong are brothers, they—"

This man's mouth was so fast that he forgot that the "Second Master Hou" he was talking about was right next to him, and immediately made a big face, and immediately changed the subject: "They are both equally talented and excellent in learning!"

After saying this, cold sweat came down his head. It was so dangerous that he almost slipped his mouth. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough!

At this moment, I really want to praise my wit!

Because he tried his best to save it, although Hou Junxie's face was slightly angry, he had nothing to say, and the others had already understood what he meant. Didn't it mean that Hou Junting and Hou Junxie were also brothers, but the difference was The world is different, although Wang Ba is not very good, but it can't explain how Wang Yunshi is?
The truth is this, but at the same time, I still look at the speaker with contempt, who made him so witty?
