As another song was sung on the stage, the whole place suddenly burst into applause, and Zhu Houzhao, the prodigal son, threw another stack of hundred-yuan silver notes onto the stage.
Liu Jin couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Zhu Houzhao's prodigal behavior. Although he was very rich now, Liu Jin really couldn't bear to let himself waste a lot of money like this.
.
He just threw a silver dollar up to the sky. This was because he was sitting at the front and could not make people laugh at him for not plucking out a dime. Otherwise, Liu Jin would not be willing to throw a few silver dollars up.
"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone!"
"Thank you all!"
Guo Wanmei on the stage thanked everyone repeatedly. The concert tonight was very successful. The amount of money received from the audience alone was a huge amount, especially the young man at the front.
He estimated that he might have thrown tens of thousands of taels of silver onto the stage. He was really very arrogant and spent huge sums of money!
The concert that lasted for 2 hours slowly came to an end. Although everyone spent a lot of money, they could not see the true appearance of Guo Wanmei in the end.
"What a loss!"
"Tens of thousands of taels of silver were thrown down, and no one even showed his face."
The concert was over. When Zhu Houzhao saw Guo Wanmei leaving the concert, he immediately seemed to be unsatisfied and felt a little cheated.
"Ha ha!"
This made Liu Jin on the side couldn't help but laugh happily.
Now Zhu Houzhao is just like those big brothers in the live broadcast rooms of later generations. He spent a lot of money, but the result is that he can only look at it and can't even touch it with his hands. He is losing blood!
"Your Majesty, do you want to call her over?"
At this time, Liu Jin on the side quickly stepped forward and asked.
He is definitely good at serving his master. Looking at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, you can tell what he is thinking in his heart.
"Forget it, forget it, just keep thinking about it, you have gained it but lost the taste."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and shook his head.
As for women, there are a lot of them in his harem, and they have everything they want. He is a little tired of them now, but he gradually likes this feeling of not getting but expecting to get them.
His words surprised Liu Jin. How could Zhu Houzhao, a big pig with hooves, change?
Liu Jin didn't believe it. Maybe it was because he was here and he wanted to worry about his face. It was hard to say whether he might ask Liu Jin to invite people into the palace again.
Well, Zhu Houzhao is capable of such a thing.
The two were about to leave, but at this time someone from the organizer came over and said to Liu Jin: "This young master, our Guo Wanmei has invited the young master to have tea and write a paper. I wonder if the young master will appreciate it?"
"ah?"
"Invite him but not me?"
"I lost tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Liu Jin didn't reply, but Zhu Houzhao jumped up and was dumbfounded.
I spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on this.
Only then did Liu Jin throw in a few silver coins.
He actually invited Liu Jin to have tea and write a paper without even mentioning his name.
This made Zhu Houzhao so angry.
"Ha ha!"
Liu Jin on the side suddenly laughed, looking at Zhu Houzhao's angry look, just like those young masters in later generations who spent money to cheer up, but others got on the poor boy's bicycle.
"How about we go and chat together?"
Liu Jin smiled and said to Zhu Houzhao.
"No, no, no!"
"I'm not going. You didn't invite me, so why are you asking for trouble?"
Zhu Houzhao immediately shook his head, feeling very unhappy.
"Old Liu, go play by yourself and have fun."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, not wanting to see Liu Jin again.
Hanging out with Liu Jin is so shocking. I am in my thirties and in my prime, while Liu Jin is already an old man in his forties, but I am still not as attractive as Liu Jin.
How annoying.
Of course, in fact, to outsiders, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao look similar, and Liu Jin even looks a little younger than Zhu Houzhao.
This Zhu Houzhao is addicted to women every day, and his complexion is naturally much worse. On the contrary, Liu Jin pays attention to health care and exercise, and he looks much younger.
"Haha, let's go sit together, otherwise if I go home now and no one can testify for me, I will sleep on the floor."
Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Zhu Houzhao.
"Alright alright."
"Let me tell you, Old Liu, you are quite infatuated. You only have two women in your life, so you should take concubines as soon as possible while you are still young."
"From my perspective, this Guo Wanmei is very good."
"She has a good figure and a good voice. Although she can't see her appearance, she is definitely a beauty."
"Now he takes the initiative to ask you to have tea again. This is a great opportunity, so hurry up and accept it."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he also laughed.
The whole government and the public knew about Liu Jin's strict control over his wife. Liu Jin, who only married two women in his life, was a breath of fresh air in the government and the public, comparable to Emperor Hongzhi.
"."
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin was also speechless.
Doesn't a man have to have many women?
Do you think that everyone is like you, a big pig with hooves? You have a lot of women, but you are still not satisfied and not enough.
The two of them soon arrived at the backstage hall of the stadium. They saw that the staff in the hall were extremely busy. Silver coins and banknotes were packed in boxes, and there were several large boxes.
It was filled with silver dollars, banknotes, and a large number of copper coins.
When he saw these copper coins, Liu Jin also smiled.
This feeling is really similar to that of some people in live broadcast rooms in later generations. Some people are frugal but still insist on becoming rich in live broadcast rooms.
“It’s really profitable to hold a concert!”
"How much money are these big boxes worth?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the money in the boxes, touched his chin and said.
"Actually, it's just the beginning for everyone to try something new. As time goes by, it will become dull."
"In the future, everyone will become more sensible. Of course, as long as you sing well enough, you will still be very popular."
Liu Jin thought for a while and said.
The star actors and actresses of later generations are all very profitable, especially the more famous they are, the more money they make. Ordinary people will not be able to make that much money in ten lifetimes by holding a concert, but all of them are very rich.
Because the media technology of later generations is very advanced, it can let more people know about this person, and the audience will be larger, and naturally make money. Singing casually, accepting advertisements, etc., it is all about making money.
It was different in ancient times. Even if people were versatile in ancient times, this was limited by the way of communication. Not many people knew about it, and the speed of communication would be very slow.
Now that we have records and gramophones, people like Guo Wanmei have quickly become popular. I believe that singers like Guo Wanmei will continue to emerge in the future.
"You two gentlemen, please come this way!"
Under the leadership of the waiter, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao also came to the teahouse nearby. As soon as they arrived, a maid served them good tea and cakes.
"Young masters, please wait a moment, Mr. Guo is reapplying your makeup."
Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao didn't wait long. Guo Wanmei, who had changed into a high-quality blue dress, walked out with a smile on her face. This time she removed her veil.
As soon as she came out, Zhu Houzhao immediately looked at Guo Wanmei like a pig, so much so that Guo Wanmei couldn't help but blush.
"Guo Wanmei has met the two young masters."
Guo Wanmei saluted very formally, her voice was gentle, and she behaved like a lady from a famous family.
"Everyone Guo~"
"My surname is Liu Mingjin, and this is Mr. Zhu Shou Zhu."
Liu Jin smiled and introduced himself and Zhu Houzhao to Guo Wanmei.
"Liu Jin?"
When Guo Wanmei heard this, everyone was slightly startled. This name was like thunder. Liu Jin, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, was naturally known to everyone in the world.
However, Liu Jin is almost fifty, and the young master Liu in front of him looks like he is only in his early thirties, so he should not be the same person.
"It turns out to be Young Master Liu and Young Master Zhu."
Guo Wanmei saluted the two of them again.
Then I slowly started talking about poetry and poetry with Liu Jin.
Although this Guo Wanmei is a member of the female class, she was born in the south of the Yangtze River. Since ancient times, the south of the Yangtze River has not only produced talented people, but also many talented women.
Especially now that the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, new education continues to be popularized, and a large number of women are enrolled in school. There are also many talented women emerging from the Ming Dynasty.
The Guo Wanmei in front of her was obviously a talented woman. She was proficient in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which allowed Liu Jin to see the talents of Jiangnan talented women.
Why is this talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River famous in ancient times? It must not be just as simple as being beautiful. A good-looking body without talent will only appear empty and boring. How can she become famous all over the world and make talented people flock to her since ancient times?
Liu Jin and Guo Wanmei chatted happily about poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Zhu Houzhao on the side was so bored that he could only drink tea and eat cakes.
He was not interested in these things at all, did not want to learn, and was not willing to learn, so he couldn't get in the conversation.
Liu Jin naturally noticed it, and immediately brought the topic to new things that Zhu Houzhao was good at, such as machinery, electromagnetism, etc., so that Zhu Houzhao had something to say and could show off his achievements in this area in front of beautiful women.
It's just that this Guo Wanmei is obviously a bit of a traditional talented girl. She is not interested in these new things. She is only interested in traditional poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her eyes have always only fallen on Liu Jin.
After chatting for almost an hour, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao were about to leave. Before leaving, Guo Wanmei actually asked someone to give something to Liu Jin.
