"As a common man, I don't understand." Chen Guanren smiled and said proudly: "This is called extraordinary and the hobby of celebrities and scholars."

The shopkeeper said astonished: "When did the business become a good thing?"

"I don't know, I'll tell you to read more newspapers and you don't know how to sell your cloth heads."

Chen Guanren said: "Now everyone says, "Everyone is a Tao for daily use, and foolish men can become saints." Gu Zhuming, a talented man in Jiangnan, deliberately begged in the snow, singing lotus, and asking for money to buy wine. He will stop drunk. Wang Yin, a celebrity in Shanghai, often wears "Five Constant Couples" and often uses lies and is sensational. It seems to be unruly, but in fact it is to experience the mood of a crazy beggar. Therefore, it is not only not ridiculed, but it is awe-inspiring person."

"So, Boss Qin is also experiencing the mood of the teahouse boss?" Manager Hou said with wide eyes.

"It's hard to say, but there must be a meaning inside." Chen Guanren said in a low voice, looking down at Nunu downstairs.

Manager Hou was also a person who was observing the six directions. When he saw Chen Si coming in from outside the door, he shut up.

After coming in silently, he greeted the guests downstairs one by one, and then went upstairs to greet Guanren Chen and others: "What are you talking about?"

"Ah" Manager Hou smiled guiltily and said, "I'm going to give you some small brother Chen.

Woolen cloth."

"Don't underestimate my reputation as a gentleman." Chen Guanren glared at him and said, "You want to be the groom while the good time."

"Don't listen to them talking nonsense." Old man Zhou moved a place, please sit down silently and said, "They were so angry when they saw so many matchmakers downstairs."

"I was also surprised just now." Sitting down silently, I picked up the teapot and continued the water for everyone here: "It's only the sixth day of the first lunar month, why are Liu Wishuai and Pei Mazi busy?"

"Starting the sails and rushing, you must not miss the opportunity." Mr. Ma Liu took out his snuff bottle and poured his cigarette and said silently: "Try this! The authentic Nan Hengzao just loaded it, it is thin and pure!"

"Thank you" Chen Si shook his head and said to Xie Bumin: "I can't stand it."

"The newspaper said that the emperor's selection was true. The prefect had received an order from Beijing to cooperate with the angels from the palace. It is estimated that the imperial envoy should arrive in February at most.

"Official Chen shook the inside story and said, "In fact, it should be said that the people should prohibit marriage now, but the prefect has mercy, so he turned a blind eye. The original intention was to let those who were already engaged rush to get married. But as soon as it spread, those families who were still in the boudoir were anxious, and they all wanted to let their daughter get married before the imperial envoy arrived."

The old man sighed and said, "What kind of world is this? The previous dynasty was rushing to send his daughter to the palace. Now, I would rather make do with Xu's family than be the queen."

"You are married, and you are talking sarcastic here. There are tens of thousands of beauties in the palace. How many of the most of the people who become the queen will have to live alone? Who would like to push your daughter into the fire pit?"

Master Ma Liu shook his head and said.

"But then again, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you guys." A female voice dragged a long voice and interrupted. No need to look at it. Everyone knew that it was Liu Wifu coming up: "If all the officials have this idea, it's okay to cover everything in the old body, whether it's young and beautiful or rich in her parents' home!"

"You might as well be louder and let the shopkeeper Xiao Qin blow you out." Master Ma Liu didn't like these guys with a slut, and bluffed with a dark face.

All the old customers in the store, who doesn’t know that the shopkeeper Xiao Qin is the boss’s wife? Who has never seen her fighting the heroic figure of the gangster A Fei? Liu Wifu shrank his neck and said with a calm face: "You are good, and you are kind-hearted. I am afraid that some of you will miss Lishi by chatting."

"Then you will get the score, too." Old Man Zhou said: "Who dares to divorce your original wife and marry your eldest daughter?"

"You are old Huangsheng," Liu Wifu smiled and said, "What is the current market? Men are precious. Why didn't Jin Xianggong come today because he was held by three families at the same time yesterday, and was finally snatched back by a large family. He himself had some backbone and climbed the wall and ran away while the people were unprepared, but not long after he landed, he was snatched back by another family. However, not any man was precious. There were very few talented, rich and unmarried golden son-in-law like Jin Xianggong.

No one wants their daughter to live with a miserable life, so it’s a bargain for you rich and identifiable masters. Many families have said that as long as they can treat their daughters sincerely, it’s okay to be a side house.”

As soon as this statement was said, except for Shen Mo, the others were a little eager. Even Old Man Zhou, the coffin pulp, could not reach it, and he was eager.

"Ye, you old bastard!" After hearing this, the teacook at the next table cursed: "I am gloating here with our thoughts! Our daughter is so cheap, crying and calling for someone to be a concubine?" She was so angry that she threw a teacup on the ground and smashed it to pieces.

Liu Wifu was also proud and realized that there was a woman's parent here. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, you have heard it awkwardly. Have you ever said such words before?"

"You old bastard's voice is even more noisy than the old *, and you can't hear a word!" The tea chef surnamed Zhou said and wanted to catch Liu Wiki. The tea chef beside him quickly stopped and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as an old bastard during the New Year."

"Your designation is a misunderstanding. Let's go down first, so you can calm your breath and relieve your breath." Liu Wifu had no shame to stay here, and quickly pissed down.

The Cha surnamed Zhou was polite and still scolded him. Ma Liu and his wife were not happy and said rudely: "Old Zhou, we want to scold and chase him. Let's sit and chat, but we didn't provoke you."

"I didn't say a few people." In fact, Lao Zhou heard them, but he didn't dare to offend these people, so he kept holding his breath. Now he got angry from Liu Wifu, and he stopped when he saw the opportunity and said to Shen Mo: "I'm so angry today. I offend you so much. I will pay for the money for the tea cup."

"It's just a teacup." Shen Mo smiled and shook his head, and ordered the waiter: "Put the pot of chrysanthemum tea to Master Zhou to defeat the fire."

"No need." Lao Zhou sighed and said, "I can't defeat this anger even if I use ice lumps. I'll go out for some breath. You guys, I'm lost my companion." After saying that, he bowed and went downstairs to the teahouse at the sixth day of the lunar month. This was just one of the big farces - Piaotian Wenxue. In the whole first month, Shanghai City was completely in chaos. In addition to getting married as soon as possible, families with daughters sent their daughters to relatives from other places to hide. Many people even moved their families to Nanyang for insurance period, preparing to come back after the show was over.

Just in the first month of the year, the imperial eunuchs from Beijing arrived... Because the Grand Canal has not yet been opened, they came from the sea, so Shanghai was the first stop. When they heard that the Suzhou prefect Sun Jian did nothing, the eunuchs were angry. If the first shot from Jiangnan could not be fired, how could they chew Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other things behind?

But it doesn’t matter. This gave them an excuse to take action. The ancestors in the palace are still counting on taking this opportunity to make a big profit!

The eunuchs forcibly requisitioned the luxurious Jiangnan Hotel in Shanghai, and did not use the people from the Suzhou Government Office. They did not come alone, and there were also 1,000 Dongchang people accompanying them. Moreover, there were people from Dongchang who had already made a rough summary of the situation of the wealthy family in Shanghai and wrote it into a thick booklet. Just follow the picture to find out the summary and get people from each family.

Although the eunuchs of the Wanli Dynasty at this stage were already arrogant, they had just turned over and were a little guilty. They didn't dare to mess with the real wealthy families, so they just looked for those "novassers who have no foundation."

It is true that they came out to give the emperor a selection of girls, but that is not the main purpose. Who doesn’t know that the Southeast is rich in the world, and the family wealth of 100,000 is not considered a huge wealth, and the number of people who are worthy of the 100,000 taels of silver is as numerous as a cow. If you don’t blackmail it, how can you be worthy of the glorious tradition of the eunuch industry?

The whole city was full of chaos and the rich were extorted, but for the happiness of their children, they had to pay for the pain. Even the families who had just married their daughters were not calm and had to pay a sum of money to eliminate the disaster. If this continues, there was finally a big mess. Finally, a citizen who sent his daughter away could not bear it and hanged himself. After hearing about it, he jumped into the river. He left an orphan woman, who died of excessive sadness.

The family died within seven days, which naturally attracted strong attention from the newspapers, and soon made the whole story public: the dead citizen named Du Ding, immigrated to Shanghai from southern Jiangsu for ten years, worked as a weaver in the weaver for ten years, and finally had savings and opened a small weaver factory. However, because of his honesty and poor management, the information of the East Factory was not so accurate. They set their targets on the boss who started the workshop. However, not every family who started the workshop had money, and some of them were always heavily in debt and could not expose the blame.

Du Dingfu has only one daughter, Yun Xiu, who is fifteen years old. She is born with a lotus, like a lotus, which can be said to be Du Ding's only comfort. Du Ding also regards her as a pearl in her hand. She is really afraid of melting it in her mouth, and hold it in her hands to fly. She really hopes to recruit a son-in-law in the future and make the family live. But unexpected events are happening, and the emperor is going to choose a girl in Jiangnan. The more beautiful Yun Xiu is, the more worried Du Dingfu is, fearing that she will be chosen and ruined in the palace for the rest of her life. After the couple discussed, they finally decided that his wife would take her daughter to her hometown in southern Jiangsu to hide.

Du Ding thought that this would escape the disaster, but underestimated the eunuchs' risk. Soon after he sent his wife and daughter away, someone from the East Factory came to take the people, so he naturally lost his life.

The leading eunuch looked through the book he brought with him and asked, "Are you Du Ding?"

"Yes." Du Ding nodded in agreement with a smile on his face.

"Do you have a daughter named Yunxiu?"

“There is one.”

"Where are people?"

"Already married."

"Have you married?" The eunuch said with a grim expression: "Who did you marry? Should you marry Feng or Yu? Let me explain it clearly." The eunuch was angry. He encountered such things many times today.

As expected, Wuzhong is a troublemaker! He really doesn’t treat imperial edicts as dishes!

"To be honest, my daughter got married when she was eight years old. After the Spring Festival this year, her in-laws took her over." Du Ding said nervously and insisted on calming herself.

"Where did you marry?"

"Luzon." Du Ding said with a mouthful of squirting.

The eunuch said nothing and sucked the cup of tea from the Du family. After a while, he said quietly: "My surname is Du, have you never heard of the Dongchang's power? Let me tell you, grandpa, you even know how many hairs you have. You dare to fool us, and you will lose your life!"

Du Ding said with caution: "Even if the villain eats ten gems, he will not dare to fool his father-in-law."

"Don't put on the onion on his damn pig's nose, pretending to be like this! I'll ask you, since you have married a daughter, when will you have a wedding?" The eunuch stared at Du Ding like a poisonous snake.

"This" Du Ding was speechless for a moment and whispered: "The family is too poor, so I'll spare it."

"The poor man is a hairy person." Seeing that he was blocking the water, the eunuch cursed rudely, picked up the letter in his hand and said, "Do you recognize the words on this?"

"Recognize it." Du Ding glanced.

"Just recognize it." The eunuch cut his hands back and walked, saying, "The emperor is a royal life. Your daughter should be honest at home and wait for the election, but you hide your daughter. This is disobeying the imperial life. How great is it to disobey the imperial life? Do you know?!"

"The villain knows that he can be beheaded if he disobeys the king's order. But the villain did not disobey the king's order." Du Ding trembled from his arms and took out a purse and said, "This is the villain's sincerity. Please don't think it's too little."

The eunuch's face was a little foggy, but when he opened his purse, he changed his face again, threw it on the ground, and spat it on Du Ding's face and said, "You are a tricky little guy, if you don't give you some great things, you won't believe that the neck is tofu knife and iron, come!"

"Here!" The monks also saw the money in the treasure bag, less than fifty taels of silver. Is this just a fool to treat us like fools?

"Lock this troublemaker."

"yes!"

Immediately, several actors stepped forward and twisted Du Ding, and the heavy shackles buckled on his head.

"Why should I take me!" Du Ding shouted in panic.

The eunuch said viciously: "You bad guy is pretending to be stupid. Today, my grandfather doesn't want money, so he will kill you, the plague chicken, to warn you, this monkey full of Shanghai!" He said with a heavy wave of his hand and said: "Put him into a wooden cage and parade in the streets!"
