No. 1 Scholar Meng Yuan, Chu Xiangning frowned slightly when she heard this name.
Meng Yuannai was the number one scholar in the previous session and was appointed by Emperor Ming.
His good writing was praised by all civil and military officials in the dynasty, and he was known as the most talented person in the dynasty.
Emperor Ming also appreciated it very much and designated him as his consort.
It's just that this person's private life is chaotic, and he often goes to places with fireworks and hangs around flowers and boats.
On the day before the wedding, a woman came to my door with a pregnant belly.
Meng Yuan was worried that it would affect his career, so he murdered the woman's unborn son. Instead, he accused the woman of false accusation, and the woman died unjustly.
When Emperor Ming heard about it, he was furious, canceled the engagement, and sent Meng Yuan to the north.
Even in Yanzhou City, there are many people who know about Meng Yuan's affairs.
"Sister Mo Sheng, how could you invite this person here..." Chu Xiangning frowned, disgusted with such a cruel and heartless person.
"He learned that I have a deep love for the God of Fire, and he admired me very much and was willing to help me." Qin Mo Sheng said.
"Sister, I have also read his articles. Although his literary talent is outstanding, it is far from the level of Bai Yan. What's more, this person has a bad character. How can my sister have too much contact with this person?" Chu Xiangning persuaded.
road.
"I know that associating with him will affect my reputation."
Qin Mosheng said nonchalantly: "As long as I don't tell anyone, no one will know that I invited him here, and everyone will just think that he can't stand the loneliness and wants to be romantic. He wants to start a new life through my father.
In an official career, you will definitely not talk nonsense."
"I'm afraid that he also has ulterior motives for my sister." Chu Xiangning reminded.
"He dares! He is a guilty person. If he dares to have evil thoughts, I will make him unable to recover for the rest of his life." Qin Mosheng snorted coldly.
She just wanted to use Meng Yuan to make Bai Yan miss the oiran, and was unable to get what she wanted. She never thought about having too much contact with Meng Yuan.
If Meng Yuan has other thoughts, she will never be lenient.
Chu Xiangning didn't say anything. She always felt that Qin Mosheng had never been inappropriate and that a man like Meng Yuan should not be an official in the court again.
But Qin Mo Sheng had already made up her mind, and it was useless for her to say anything else.
At this moment, a flower boat twice the size of an ordinary boat appeared on the lake, causing waves of exclamations.
"The city of Yanzhou has great achievements. We welcome Miss Qin Kui and send you thousands of lanterns!"
I saw the dark-skinned Ma Daye standing on the bow of the boat and speaking loudly.
The next second, a thousand lanterns took off from the ship and rose into the sky.
That scene was so beautiful that even Chu Xiangning was stunned and yearning for it.
"These bumpkins only know how to play tricks to make women happy." Qin Mosheng snorted coldly.
"It's a full ten thousand taels of silver." Chu Xiangning sighed.
This kind of lantern of the highest standard costs ten taels of silver a piece, which is a full ten thousand taels of silver, which is not a small sum of money.
"What's ten thousand taels of silver? Bai Yan spent tens of thousands of taels of silver once before. Today he is Miss Qin Kui's guest, and he may have spent hundreds of thousands of taels."
Qin Mo Sheng snorted coldly and suddenly noticed the figure on the shore: "He came just as soon as he said it. He is really positive."
Chu Xiangning looked around and saw Bai Yan, Xu Sang and several dandy young men coming hand in hand.
And Ma Daye also noticed Bai Yan and said loudly: "Young Master Bai is here. You are in the limelight now. Masters like Cheng Hao and Great Confucianism are willing to work for you. It is said that the day the college opens, the income will be high.
With ten thousand taels of silver, I must have prepared a lot today, right?"
"Ma Heizi, are you worthy of shouting at my eldest brother? No need for eldest brother to take action. I, Xu Sang, will light a thousand lamps to congratulate Miss Qin Kui." Xu Sang shouted.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Ma Daye showing off his authority, which made him very unhappy.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your generosity."
Above the Moon Watching Tower, there was a burst of laughter, and then thousands of lanterns rose into the sky.
Waves of exclamations came from all around again.
"Did you see it? This is the face of these scoundrels. They should all be sent to the battlefield." Qin Mosheng said angrily.
Chu Xiang stared at Bai Yan, shook her head and said, "I don't think Bai Yan is that kind of person."
"Now that you are still speaking for him, do you want us to make a bet?" Qin Mosheng was extremely angry.
Ma Daye, who was on the boat, also shouted again: "Light two more lanterns and ask Miss Qin Kui to show up!"
Countless lanterns rose into the sky again.
The sky was already densely covered with lanterns.
Under the moonlight, it looks like in a painting.
"When did Mr. Xu become so rich? Could it be that your father has been embezzling again recently?" Ma Daye laughed.
"Ma Heizi, please stop talking nonsense here. If I follow my eldest brother, are you worried about not having any money?" Xu Sang refuted.
"That's true, but what Bai Yan earns is the hard-earned money of ordinary people. Is it worthy of the people who trust you to throw it away like this?" Ma Daye continued.
His words attracted the approval of countless people.
If the Bai family was just a bank, no one would say anything no matter how much money was spent.
But in White Deer Academy, most of them are children from ordinary families, and many families even save money on food rations to save tuition. If it is such a waste, it is really inappropriate.
"Sure enough, there is some guidance from an expert."
Bai Yan snorted coldly and said: "Ma Heizi, why are you talking so much nonsense? This is not your character? Is it possible that Wanqian Bank is going to close down? You can't get the money out? If so, then
Go back, don't embarrass yourself here and let Miss Qin Kui see the joke."
Ma Daye was immediately angry: "Even if your Bai family collapses, my Ma family's bank will not collapse. There are big people behind my Ma family. Isn't it just a few hundred thousand taels of silver? What is it? Come on, give it to Qin Kui
The girl lit thousands of lanterns."
"Master Ma, no, this is not a small amount of money. Next, we will have more ways to spend money."
An old man reminded behind him.
Ten thousand lanterns, that’s a hundred thousand taels of silver.
What does one hundred thousand taels of silver mean? A batch of military pay is nothing more than that.
"If my family opens a bank, will they still have no money? One hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing. What's more, I have already let the word out, can I still take it back?" Ma Daye snorted coldly.
One hundred thousand taels of silver, he felt distressed too.
He was well prepared, but he didn't have as much as one hundred thousand taels.
But every time he was pushed to the ground and rubbed by Bai Yan, today he must regain his face and become Miss Qin Kui's guest.
From now on, Bai Yan couldn't hold his head up in front of him.
"Ten Thousand Money Bank, you are really brave." Bai Yan clapped his hands and praised.
"That's right, Bai Yan, it's still too late for you to admit defeat." Ma Daye shouted.
Listening to the shouts coming from Wangyue Tower, he just felt satisfied.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Xu Sang and the others looked at Bai Yan awkwardly. He did not expect Ma Daye to play such a big role.
One hundred thousand taels of silver was dumped at the drop of a hat. Although he was also the second generation, the total wealth of his family might not be one hundred thousand taels of silver.
But they wouldn't be willing to give up just like that.
Among them, Bai Yan is the only one who can afford so much money. This is why they are willing to accept Bai Yan as their eldest brother.
