Gu Chengyu followed the madam into the hall and saw that there were only a few girls in the hall, guessing that they were relatively free last night.
It's still morning now, so I'm afraid the patrons and the girls accompanying them haven't woken up yet!
When the girls saw that Gu Chengyu had really followed the madam in, they quickly put down their fans and came closer, unable to hide the smiles on their faces.
"Girls, please serve Mr. Gu quickly!" The old madam hurriedly called them over. Another customer came, how could she not be happy?
You can tell at a glance that this young master Gu is a master who is not short of money. He has served these young masters well, and even the money in rewards is more than those ordinary patrons.
Those girls had noticed Gu Chengyu a long time ago. They had never seen such a good-looking young master. If he could order one of them, they would be happy even if they didn't give any money.
Fortunately, those popular ones are not here, otherwise where would their turn be?
Several people rushed around and squeezed the Madam a few steps away. The Madam shook her handkerchief, these little bitches, they were usually reluctant to receive guests, but when did they become so active?
Already?
Ming Mo stood behind his young master and was a little dumbfounded when he saw all these girls leaning against his young master. When he came to his senses, he quickly stepped forward to push them away.
His young master doesn't like people getting too close to him. These girls are almost pressing their upper bodies on him.
In fact, Ming Mo has never seen her before. Ordinary men should not mind the approach of beautiful women. He has only seen girls from villages and wealthy families. Those are women from good families, so of course it is impossible to do this.
Gu Chengyu watched Ming Mo stop these girls and hurriedly followed the madam to go upstairs. The fragrance of these girls was so strong that he couldn't help but want to sneeze. The gouache on the faces of two girls had already cracked.
, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but cursed, how thick of powder was applied?
Fortunately, Zheng Lun has already rushed over to rescue him, "Mama Hua! My friend is still young, let your girls go and rest!"
In fact, Zheng Lun didn't think Gu Chengyu was young. When he was fifteen, his elders found him a roommate, so fourteen was not too young.
When a young man from a wealthy family is fourteen or five years old, his elders will give him a maid to live with him. He will find a more honest girl to help him with his affairs.
If the control is too strict, you will inevitably be curious about the affairs of men and women. Men always have some social interactions outside. If they are led astray by those with ulterior motives, it will be difficult to get them back. Therefore, as long as there is an intercourse, curiosity will disappear.
, the elders in the family are also relieved.
The reason why I say this is because I feel that Gu Chengyu must look down on these vulgar fans.
Besides, when Gu Chengyu wanted to keep himself clean, he didn't even have a girl to serve him personally, and he was very self-disciplined. They even thought that Gu Chengyu was a manly man before, but after observing for a while, they realized that it was not the case.
The old madam actually knew that these girls couldn't catch the eyes of these young men, but who told these people to come too early? Yesterday, the popular girls hadn't gotten up yet, so she thought of the courtesan Xiyan. This girl's piano skills are good.
Since she could recite poems and write poems, it would be better to ask her to accompany the guests. However, she was also afraid that this girl would refuse.
There have been so many people here, and if they succeed in this examination, they will all be imperial officials. It is difficult for these young men to gather on weekdays. If they can leave a few calligraphy paintings for the brothel, then Tianxiang Pavilion will become an arty place.
land?
"Since Mr. Zheng said so, let them retreat!" Mother Hua winked at the girls, and the girls had no choice but to retreat no matter how reluctant they were.
They are not those popular girls who cannot show off their tempers. Mother Hua has many means to control them.
Gu Chengyu went up to the second floor. This was a side room facing the street. There were already several girls sitting or standing inside, some of whom were pouring wine for these people. After a cursory glance, there should be more than a dozen students.
"It's a great honor to be able to Gu Jieyuan! Before, Gu Jieyuan refused to reward me, but today I finally get to see him! I'm afraid I won't be able to read Gu Jieyuan's masterpiece!" The person who spoke was about twenty or so, very unfamiliar, and Gu Chengyu had never seen him before.
He spoke in a rude manner, and the expression on his face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, as if Gu Chengyu was making a name for himself.
Two people also agreed, and these two people were obviously led by this person.
"It's all my fault. I came to the capital before and was a bit unaccustomed to the climate, so I have been recuperating at home. And because there are so many talented people in this examination, I have to study hard and have no distractions."
Gu Chengyu said with a smile, then walked towards Zhu Pang, lifted his skirt, and sat on the seat by the window.
The man sneered, "Acclimated to the local environment? What about the liar? I have lived in the capital for two months before, and I am still acclimated to the local environment?"
Gu Chengyu saw his expression and didn't care. Even if he told lies with his eyes open, how could those people expose him? Wouldn't this make them look shameless?
"Ahem! Let me introduce you to everyone first. This is Gu Chengyu and Gu Jieyuan. Everyone knows him, right?"
Huang Junheng came out to smooth things over at this time. He could see that these people were a little dissatisfied with Gu Chengyu. The atmosphere just now was a bit stagnant, so he had to make peace. After all, he was the host this time.
"Of course you recognize him? Who has never seen Gu Jieyuan, who is famous in the capital?" It was the same person who just spoke. He raised the corners of his mouth and looked very disdainful.
Gu Chengyu was sure that he didn't know this person, so where did this person's targeting come from? Is it just a matter of dislike?
"This is Yu Ting, the eldest grandson of the Minister of Civil Affairs. This is Senior Brother Yang Haomiao. The other one is Jiang Cheng. Over there." Huang Junheng introduced the student who had just mocked Gu Chengyu, and then introduced two followers.
Some people were disdainful, but naturally some people showed friendliness, and everyone was polite. Since we were meeting friends through literature, everyone decided to move to the private room in the backyard.
As Gu Chengyu walked, he thought in his mind, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Isn't that the father-in-law of the prefect Jiang? Then this Yu Ting is the nephew of the Yu family? It's really not like enemies never get together!
I didn't know why Yu Ting targeted him before, but now I realized it. Yu wanted the examiner to frame him in the examination room, and he must have told his family, so Yu Ting might know about it.
That's why you have such an attitude towards him. Does his attitude represent the Yu government, or does it represent him personally?
In the past three years, the Yu family has completely fallen into silence, but Gu Chengyu knew that she was not dead. Now that the governor of Chiang Kai-shek has moved to the capital again, the Yu family has not yet released the Buddhist temple, but there is no guarantee that the Minister of Civil Affairs will come to put pressure! Not then.
Looking for trouble again?
Just thinking of the scars on Mrs. Yu's body, Gu Chengyu felt that it was impossible for the Jiang family to let Mr. Yu preside over the imperial edict again. How could he make friends with those women from aristocratic families with this look? The only thing he needed to worry about was that the Yu family would support Mr. Yu.
It seems that we have to find a way to keep her in the Buddhist hall and not come out.
