Liu Ziguang did something wrong and did not dare to stay at home longer. After having a casual meal, he ran away on the pretext of seeing his children. On the way, he pretended to be casual and asked the accompanying guard: "Xiao Li, do you know if there is a girl named Jiang by the Qinhuai River?"
The brothel in Yunlou?”
The guard was shocked: "Master Hou, where did you start talking about this? Jiangyun Tower is not the name of a brothel, but a small building on the mountain bought by Mr. Qian of the cabinet for his concubine Liu Jia. But this Liu Jia
It’s true that I have been in this business before and was known as the first of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, but now she is the concubine of a dignified minister. In the past, most people would not dare to mention this kind of thing."
As soon as this statement came out, Liu Ziguang was even more surprised than him. Could it be that he had given Qian Qianyi's concubine to him? I asked why that young woman was so promiscuous. It turned out to be Liu Rushi, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai... But she was with Lao Qian.
Our relationship is not very good to begin with. If he discovers what happened between me and Liu Rushi, then the hatred will be great. No, I must not let Lao Qian know about this. I must avoid Liu Rushi in the future. But as I said
When I came back, I saw that Liu Rushi was hungry and thirsty, looking like a resentful woman who had not been nourished by a man for a long time. Could it be that the old money was no longer capable?
It's not that Liu Ziguang is ignorant, but that he often travels around and has little contact with the affairs of these small circles in the capital, so he doesn't even know about the famous Jiangyun Tower. In fact, the boss behind the Xianping main store is the concubine of the Qiange Department.
Liu Rushi, whose original surname is Yang, also likes to wear Confucian attire, dance, write, and chat with scholars. The name Liu Rushi was chosen based on Xin Qiji's poem "I see how charming the green mountains are, and I expected that the green mountains will see me like this." In the south of the Yangtze River,
He is considered a number one figure in the cultural circle.
Qian Qianyi doted on this concubine so much that he built a villa for her to live in. He also secretly opened a Xianping store for her to take in the little sisters from the past. In short, if the stars don't give the moon, he will be satisfied if he can. Old Qian usually
Busy with government affairs, she had less time to recite poems and compose poems. Liu Rushi was born with an active nature and liked to visit the scenery and make friends through literature. The old money did not restrain her, but supported her to make friends with famous people outside and win people's hearts for herself. Liu Rushi's small circle
The scope of life of Liu Ziguang is completely different from that of Liu Ziguang, and he rarely goes out with the master, so it is normal that he does not know Liu Ziguang. This time, on behalf of Qian Qianyi, he went to Zhenwuhou Mansion to drink full moon wine because Lord Qian's first wife and Zhenwuhou
She was sent there because there was a family feud and it was difficult to come forward.
No matter what he was afraid of, when Liu Ziguang wandered around outside and returned to the Marquis Mansion again, Qian Qianyi's invitation had already arrived. It said that the Marquis Zhenwu and his wife were invited to have a banquet at Jiangyun House, a villa of Qian Mansion.
Peng Jingrong was still happy and said happily: "The beautiful lady of Mr. Qian's family is really a person. Not only is she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her conversation is also very elegant. If we say that this person who was born as a famous prostitute in Qinhuai is different, we sisters
We are on good terms. This time Mr. Qian took the initiative to show his kindness and invited us to the banquet. It must be the result of Sister Liu's mediation. In my opinion, we should go to this banquet and take the opportunity to repair the relationship between you and the civil servants.
"
Liu Ziguang said in his heart that you, Sister Liu, are not only good at everything, but also your flute playing skills are top-notch, but of course he did not dare to say it, he just said perfunctorily: "Qian Qianyi must beg for mercy for those corrupt officials. We can't go to this banquet. We are anti-corruption advocates."
Lian's struggle has a long way to go, Xiao Peng, how can you accept someone else's invitation at this critical moment?"
Liu Ziguang refused to go to the banquet, but Peng Jinrong couldn't convince him, so he just ignored it. Liu Ziguang asked the housekeeper to send a reply letter, and refused Qian Qianyi's invitation on the pretext of being ill.
In the Qian Mansion, the always gentle Qian Ge Department slammed the tea bowl angrily: "Humph! Can a person as strong as a calf get sick? He is showing his attitude to me. It seems that he is really planning to do something big.
The killing begins."
"Master, please calm down. I had a very happy conversation with Mrs. Liu. I will pay her a visit the next day to see if there is any room for redemption." This was what Liu Rushi was saying.
"That's right, thank you very much for your hard work. I have already seen clearly that this guy is a scumbag and there is no benefit to you if you go there. Forget it, I have my own way to deal with him."
Even so, Qian Qianyi's brows were still furrowed. Back then, he and Hou Xun were known as the two heroes of Donglin. Not only were they talented and handsome, but they were also very handsome. Although they are old now, they still look old, especially
When he was thinking about the problem, he had a certain manner. Seeing the master in trouble, Liu Rushi sighed softly, walked behind Qian Qianyi, and gently helped him lift his shoulders. Qian Qianyi grabbed Liu Rushi's
With his little hand, he pulled her to him and said passionately: "So, I've worked hard for you all these years."
Liu Rushi smiled shyly and said: "What did you say, sir? If I marry into your Qian family, I should make some contributions to the Qian family. A little grievance is nothing."
While they were talking, a handsome young man walked into the study without knocking. When he saw Liu Rushi, he smiled and said, "Sister is here too." When Liu Rushi saw him coming, he gently took out his hand and was held by Qian Qianyi.
He held up his hand and said: "Master Tang is here, I won't disturb you any more, and go back to my Jiangyun Tower."
The handsome young man known as Mr. Tang watched Liu Rushi leave with a smile. Seeing that she was far away, he sat down on Qian Qianyi's lap, grabbed his elegant five-lock beard and said: "Brother (
Please read it in the third tone), didn’t you promise me not to be alone with Sister Liu?”
When he made such a fuss, Qian Qianyi's brows also widened, and he said with a smile: "Tang Tang (still read it in the third tone) don't make a fuss, I'm not here to discuss the matter, your sister Liu is so resourceful that I can't let the men off."
, I have good interpersonal skills and can be of great help to me.”
"I knew you would say good things about Sister Liu. Alas, in order to deceive the eunuch into giving the illusion of being addicted to wine and sex, brother, you married a prostitute regardless of the world's eyes. You have really suffered a lot for Sister Liu over the years. Even
You can't even touch a man's side, and most people can't hold it in for a long time. By the way, brother, if you encounter any problem, why don't you let me help you find a solution."
"Well, it's like this..." Qian Qianyi briefly described what happened recently. After listening to it, Tangtang said: "Your Majesty still has the key to this matter. If Your Majesty is unwilling to pursue the matter, there is nothing Marquis Zhenwu can do.
"
"But His Majesty hates corruption so much that he wishes he could cut it all off." Qian Qianyi said distressedly.
"That only means that His Majesty is not yet well versed in the way of being a king. I have a way. Brother, haven't you recommended several teachers to the Emperor? You might as well recommend another one. Once this person goes, he will be able to do it within three days.
Convince the emperor."
"Oh, who is this man so powerful?" Qian Qianyi raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I can tell you, but you have to make love to him first." As Tangtang said, he hooked Qian Qianyi's neck and brought half of his pink face to Lao Qian's mouth.
Qian Qianyi laughed and said, "That's no problem."
…Full House…
Three days later, Qian Qianyi recommended a young and promising scholar to the palace to lecture on history for Zhu Youxiao. Although this man was very talented, he acted very low-key, so his reputation was not as great as that of the four young masters from Jiangnan, but he was really
Anyone who knows anything knows that this person is a real talent.
He is Huang Zongxi, who is respectfully called Mr. Nanlei by students all over the world. He has considerable attainments in Confucian classics, history, astronomy, geography, and arithmetic. He is far beyond the comparison with the so-called talents who can only write good calligraphy and recite poems.
He was extremely knowledgeable, profound in thought, prolific in writings, and had a passionate heart. At that time, his father Huang Zunsu was dismissed from the imperial censorship for impeaching the eunuchs, and was later imprisoned and tortured to death. Huang Zongxi was only 19 years old.
He went to Beijing to sue his grievances, used a cone to injure the mastermind in the court, and pursued the murderer. For a time, he was called the "loyal minister and orphan" by the world.
Huang Zongxi was such a talented person that Peng Jingrong wanted to invite him to come out, but he was politely declined. He had no choice but to invite Gu Yanwu. In fact, this was all because Liu Ziguang's image as a martial artist was too tall. No scholar would want to be commanded by a arrogant martial artist.
, In comparison, Qian Qianyi was much better. He was both a great scholar and the chief minister of the dynasty. He condescended to invite people to come out. No scholar could refuse. Huang Zongxi was very happy when he heard that he was giving lectures to the emperor.
He agreed, talked with Qian Qianyi that night, and entered the palace the next day with an important entrustment.
The reason why Wei Zhongxian is so powerful is that he is too close to the emperor, and his every word and deed can affect the young Zhu Youxiao. However, the teachers Qian Qianyi hired before were all too old, and they all talked about it. The young emperor
Of course, I have to fight, but it is different now. Huang Zongxi is less than thirty years old, has quick thinking, quick work, and is proficient in various miscellaneous subjects. He can get along well with the emperor. How can he subtly teach Qian Qianyi's thoughts on governing the country to the emperor?
It couldn't be better.
Qian Qianyi's idea of governing the country is nothing more than the word Doctrine of the Mean, which is also the essence of Confucianism. Huang Zongxi also deeply agrees with this. Their common goal is to stop the "official catastrophe" that Liu Ziguang intends to launch.
