Chapter 318: The disaster moves south, who will cause disaster?

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and greeted: "Please come up! Mei Sanniang's fish sashimi is almost ready, and she also asked Li Jiaqingzhao to come. At this time, there are wine, dishes, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the cabin. Sitting and listening to the tranquility, looking at the distant scenery, the lake and mountains are vivid in my mind, this is the elegance."

Xie Lin also clapped his hands and said, "The lake light, water color, beauty, fish sashimi, wine, and food... How can you not write poetry and express emotions in this scene?"

Zhao Xing took the opportunity to answer: "I don't plan to preach today at Baihe Meeting. My teacher has already preached on stage. How can my disciples speak? As for poetry writing, my senior brothers are all strong men in the poetry world. There are not many poets in the Song Dynasty. I should concentrate on handling civil affairs and drink and have fun."

Li Qingzhao's voice sounded outside the hatch door: "Is it Liu Jingniang, Yangzhou? I have heard that Jingniang is in Yangzhou and is in a reversal of all living beings. Why did she come to this remote place in Guangzhou?"

Liu Jingniang smiled softly, twisted her waist like a wind swaying willows and boarded Zhao Xing's boat. This way of twisting her waist is modernly called "drifting buttocks". As soon as she boarded Zhao Xing's boat, Liu Jingniang sang loudly: "It's a natural wonderful learning, and it takes ten years to overcome it. I'll cut chickens and chat about this Zhongdu. People are in the spring platform to encourage me.

The cushion is not due to drowning, but the pulp is not different from the truth. The scent of thousands of families is full of blessings. I have no chants."

After reading the poem, Liu Jingniang stroked the strings of the piano with her fingers and said crisply: "Zhao Daguan, I came to congratulate you from Yangzhou. Why did you only see me at Baiheting and leave without a trace? If Nunu did not meet him by chance today, I am afraid that Zhao Daguan will go back to Guangzhou, right?"

Xie Lin made up the fun and laughed and joked: "My grandma Jing, I'm afraid you're here today, I'm afraid you're not meeting me by chance."

The curtain of the cabin was lifted, and Liu Jingniang brought four beauties dressed up in the cabin. These four beauties were her music trained. The middle-aged Liu Jingniang's body was increasingly emitting a mature smell, but she also knew that her age had lost the temptation for those young people, so she began to train her successors while turning her target to middle-aged officials.

Zhao Xing was still recalling Liu Jingniang's congratulations. This song "Xijiangyue" is full of metaphors and sarcasm, such as her saying "Ten years of self-discipline". It is saying that Zhao Xing endured for ten years. As for "a school of innate wonderful learning", this is purely flattery and can be ignored.

"Damage, you are really a disaster!" Zhao Xing stood up to greet Liu Jingniang and said with a smile: "People often say that beauty is also a kind of power, which is the 'third power' besides status and money, so beautiful women are always favored - Jingniang, you don't look at each other, you have already lost your legs. If you light the fire in such a random way, be careful, your disaster can't save me... Ha, today the disaster is moved south, I don't know whose man you want to harm, Jingniang?"

Liu Jingniang made a beautiful gift, gave Zhao Xing a glamorous look, and asked coquettishly: "Is it not going to harm Zhao Daguanren, can you thank him?!"

Zhao Xing shivered all over and waved his hand quickly: "Thank you for a favor!"

Xie Lin also waved his hand quickly: "I don't have the strength, so I'm asking my mother to be proud of her."

Xie Lin is not actually old. He is only in his early fifties. At this age, he can be regarded as a "happy youth" in the officialdom. However, Xie Lin learned Guan Xue, which emphasizes strict self-discipline. Therefore, Xie Lin usually acts like an old master, but today he occasionally loses his true form in front of the famous prostitute Liu Jingniang - the ancients called this "famous scholars and romantic affairs".

After Xie Lin interrupted, Zhao Xing quickly used attack instead of defense and asked the other party: "That day was at the Ten-Day Pavilion. Jing Niang was singing and singing, like a butterfly flying on the table. I didn't even have time to talk to Jing Niang. I only remember that you four disciples were very outstanding. Haha, I don't understand, why did Jing Niang come to Yichang at this time? It's such a coincidence?"

"Not a coincidence!" Jing Niang sat down with her close body against Zhao Xing. Her hot body leaned against Zhao Xing. Her confused eyes said in a dream: "In the past, the sisters envied everyone in Liao for their courage to retreat bravely and ran out of the capital to join Zhao Daguanren. The news of Liao's death came, and the sisters in the capital were tragic. Because Nunu and Daguanren had old age, Miaomiao, the first ten best in the capital, entrusted my family to go south to worship Liao's tomb.

Nu Nu was on the pavilion a few days ago, and Lord Zhao was surrounded by people. Before the family rushed forward, the great official had already returned to the temple. Fortunately, he met by chance on the river today. When the great official returned, he had to take him to his house."

Zhao Xing opened his mouth to ask why the other party was not married yet, and advised him: Instead of harming the world, it is better to go home and harm a man... But this topic is too sensitive. He was afraid that the other party would climb along, so he took advantage of the topic just now and stood up and thanked him solemnly: "Xiao Xiao has such a group of sisters who care about her, thank you here."

Zhao Xing bowed together and invisibly got rid of Jing Niang's close tightness. Jing Niang had no choice but to put away her laughing expression and stood up to give the gift.

During this period, Xie Lin smiled and said nothing. He vaguely guessed the reason why Jing Niang went south, but he was unwilling to speak.

Zhao Xing didn't know that in recent years, Guangzhou has become the source of the Song Dynasty's fashion. Because Guangzhou's copyright law was extended to inventions and creations, Guangdong and Guangxi became the base camp for "strange and ingenious skills". With the convenience of trade in Southeast Asia, overseas vassals kept sending various novel things to Guangzhou. However, because of Zhao Xing's words "managing the family" first, they first gained a wealthy life, and then talked about the theory of "governing the country", they all put down their figures and began to use Guangzhou's rich materials to study various inventions and creations. As a result, the fashion trend was born...

Zhao Xing set an example and followed his proposal. As the chief official of Guangdong, he now has a glass factory, a canvas factory, a kiln, a printing shop, and countless sea boats... Under his leadership, Guangdong students were not ashamed of making a living. A large number of glass workshops and textile workshops sprouted like mushrooms after a rain, covering the states of the road. At the same time, the potato sycamore sausage farm opened by Deng Yufu also became a new flagship product sold overseas by the Song Dynasty with the support of Zhao Xing. The emergence of the clothing demon army made Guangzhou bold and novel in clothing innovation...

In addition to the emergence of new products such as clothing, furniture, porcelain, and glass, the Fourth Sumen Bachelor is idle and is also studying the creation of drama and various entertainment projects. During this period, Qin Guan had already re-composed the "The West Chamber". At the same time, because of Zhao Xing's participation, this "The West Chamber" already has a strong modern flavor, and its plot twist is even more fascinating.

In addition, Guangzhou's rap art has also developed rapidly. Under the promotion of Zhao Xingdi, muddle-talking and storytelling have been combined to form a type of repertoire similar to modern dramas. With the birth of this new repertoire, many new dramas have appeared. With the help of Kasli's hand, the enthusiastic and unrestrained flamenco dance, Arab Huxuan dance, and the local dance in the Zhenla area of ​​India have also become popular repertoires in official banquets.

All of this, all the oceans of creation, have combined to make Guangdong a fashion pioneer in the entire Song Dynasty. Zhao Xing was in it, but he did not feel that he had changed history. He always felt that the inertia of history was extremely heavy and despairing.

Zhao Xing didn't know that in recent years, Guangdong and Guangxi promoted the academic "integration of knowledge and action". The shadow behind this school is Su Shi, the contemporary literary master. In addition, there is a group of former prime ministers. Their preferences immediately spread throughout the local maritime corpses, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Huangzhou. With the central hub of Yangzhou, it further affected the capital and the daily life of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xing didn't know, Liu Jingniang knew, Xie Lin knew. Liu Jingniang was now in a semi-retired state. At present, she often plays the role of a madam. The newly trained four musicians will not be a trend if they don't come to Guangzhou, the birthplace of "super demons", which is the birthplace of "super demons". Liu Jingniang knows Zhao Xing and can still get Cai Jing's recommendation, which is her greatest convenience. So, under the name of visiting Liao Xiaoxiao, she hopes to quickly open up the situation in the Guangzhou officialdom.

Guangzhou’s wealth is now famous all over the world. With the help of several consecutive wars and overseas trade support, and Guangzhou has its own convenience of minting money, Zhao Xing’s fierceness in distributing red envelopes against his subordinate officials, even the big bosses in the capital felt frightened. Liu Jingniang believed that if she could open up the situation in Guangzhou, it would mean that she had gained a lot of money on this trip, and maybe she could quickly earn enough pension capital.

This is the purpose of Liu Jingniang's journey south.

Xie Lin is an old fox in the officialdom. He guessed casually and got closer to the truth.

Indeed, Liu Jingniang started planning to go south a year ago. She set off in the first month of the year and drove a large flower boat in Yangzhou and walked slowly along the Yangtze River. Not long ago, she entered Dongting Lake and heard local students talking about the meeting of Baihe in Yizhang. Her heart moved. Several scholars were about to hire her flower boat. She drove the students to Yizhang on a boat, and by the way, she also got an invitation from the students.

Zhao Xing mentioned the word "Qiao" specially, and Liu Jingniang did not shy away. She explained her itinerary in detail and added: "Nu Nu came to this Yichang and wanted to visit Zhao Daguanren, but the place where the Daguanren lives was very cautious. Nu Nu could not submit his post, so he had to pay a visit to Baiheting. Unexpectedly, the adults were busy with official duties, and Nu Nu had to meet him. He tried his best to get what he wanted today. Grandpa, you must compensate Nu Nu."

Zhao Xing waved to Liu Jingniang to sit down. Li Qingzhao hurriedly sat opposite Liu Jingniang, staring with her big eyes and observing Liu Jingniang's dress.

With Li Qingzhao sitting down beside him, the music and Liu Jingniang were not easy to squeeze into Zhao Xing, so he had to stand behind Liu Jingniang. After Xie Lin also sat down, the wine and food were brought up like flowing water. Wan Qiyong came from the back cabin to accompany the guests. When he saw Liu Jingniang, he hurriedly explained: "My Lord Zhao's itinerary was arranged by me. Jingniang, not that Lord Zhao was too cautious, but because of the sensitive identities of Mr. Po and Su Sanzhang, they were not too close to each other."

Wan Qi Yong's words meant that he had been eavesdropping by the side, and he had heard all the conversations in the cabin. Xie Lin glanced at Wan Qi Yong, and then secretly observed Zhao Xing. He found that Zhao Xing did not agree. He nodded quietly and stopped talking.

When Liu Jingniang saw Wan Qi Yong, she immediately replied familiarly: "Mr. Wanqi (pronounced moqi), you are much older than when you were in Yangzhou, but you look much more energetic than when you were. I heard that Lord. Wanqi is now the governor of Guangzhou, the fifth rank... Hehe, following Zhao Daguan, you will be promoted so quickly."

What Liu Jingniang didn't say was: When Wan Qi Yong was in Yangzhou, he looked vulgar - his eyes were squinting, and he was a villain who often plotted against people at first sight. But now Wan Qi Yong's face was blushing and his face was full of confidence. The demeanor he had developed for many years made him look vulgar, but instead he had a kind of grace in power. In other words, he finally looked like a high-ranking official.

When Wan Qiyong saw an old friend in Yangzhou, he laughed and replied with a memory look: "I don't know. The one I served in Yangzhou was my first time as an official... Well, it's not my first time as an official, but I used to be a minor official and was not ranked. It was not until I followed the adults to Yangzhou that I officially got a rank. Looking back, I have been through the past ten years and have become a fifth-rank official. In this life, I am worthy of my ancestors."

Of course, Wan Qiyong is qualified to say this. Fifth-rank official is already in the category of "Eight Discussions". In the Song Dynasty, such officials do not have to worry about raiding their families and exterminate their clans, and their descendants do not need to take exams. They can directly obtain an official rank.

In addition, Wan Qiyong was most proud of that Zhao Xing gave his subordinate officials generous salary. Wan Qiyong followed Zhao Xing for several years and earned hundreds of thousands of yuan. In the Song Dynasty, a middle class had a net worth of only three thousand yuan. What is the concept of the middle class? The modern standard is: having a house and a car, and a bank deposit of 200,000 US dollars.

Wan Qiyong, a minor official, could get to this point. Of course he was satisfied. In recent years, he tried his best to plan for Zhao Xing. The two of them were already grasshoppers tied to the same line, and they had no avoidance between each other. Sometimes, Zhao Xing even specially arranged for Wan Qiyong to eavesdrop on the side so that he could have an object of discussion. This is also the source of Wan Qiyong's confidence.

Jing Niang touched her face and replied: "After many years of separation, Lord Wanqi has been rising step by step. Only Jing Niang is still running around. Speaking of which, Nu Nu is really full of emotion..."

Wan Qi Yong glanced at Zhao Xing, half a reminder, half a persuasion: "Oh, my elders and Cai Yuanchang planned to stay in Yangzhou for the full term, but they didn't expect that the world would change and they couldn't take good care of Jingniang."

Wan Qiyong's reminder is equivalent to revealing the reason in front of Jingniang's situation - she is a forbidden person. Although Su Shi, who took over, was also a romantic figure, he always disliked Cai Jing. He disdained what Cai Jing liked. Thinking that even Su Shi planned to abolish the "Yangzhou Flower Club" that year, he planned to abolish Cai Jing's favor. Not to mention that after Su Shi took over, she was destined to no longer be glorious. After Su Shi left, she was frightened by Su Shi's outstanding reputation, so the local officials who continued to serve naturally would not take care of Jingniang...

Next, Jing Niang naturally couldn't do anything "a disaster", and could only rely on training the next generation to continue to deal with the officialdom.

In this way, Jing Niang's trip to the south may have been a decisive move.

Unfortunately, Jing Niang plays the piano at a cow or glares at the darkness this time. After Liao Xiaoxiao's sad separation, Zhao Xing always feels unhappy whenever he sits at a banquet and watches music and music. Now he has lost the mood of sitting and watching the wind and flowers, so although Jing Niang looks like I feel pity, Zhao Xing just plainly raised his glass and persuades him: "Don't worry, I'll be the leader in the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi. Who do you want to 'harm'? Tell Lord Wanqi, he can't do anything, so I'll do it for you."

Jing Niang gave Zhao Xing a resentful look, Li Qingzhao was clever and interrupted quickly: "Miss Liu, where is the hairpin on your fork on your head produced? Why haven't I seen it before?"

When women talk about clothing, they always forget their true meaning. When Li Qingzhao interrupted, Jingniang also forgot her original purpose. She pulled out her hairpin and showed off her passion: "Miss from the Li family, this is a hairpin from the place where she produces in Hangzhou and Shengxuan. The style is newly designed by Cai Yuanchang - Cai Yuanchang is now living in Hangzhou, and Nunu is close to him. The day before yesterday, he had given this sample. The sample is not sold outside, but it is just a trial production in the workshop and is circulated among acquaintances."

Li Qingzhao burst out laughing, and she turned to look at Zhao Xing: "Uncle Zhao, since that's the case, Qingzhao's hairpin fell on her body."

Zhao Xing also changed the subject and joked with a smile: "Qingzhao, how much did you take from my house? Why didn't you still want to say "marry"?"

Xie Lin knew Zhao Xing's teasing of Li Qingzhao, but Liu Jingniang didn't know that. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the teenage girl in surprise. Wan Qi Yong was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "My adult loves the intelligence of Li's little girl very much and plans to let her marry her eldest son. Lord Li Gefei is also willing, but the Li's little girl always refuses to spit."

Zhao Xing laughed and said proudly: "No problem, I can wait - I booked a kiss from Zhao Laohu. I see who dares to rob my daughter-in-law from me. Qingzhao, don't worry, who dares to go to your house to propose marriage, see if I can beat him up."

Li Qingzhao curled her lips: "The little girl often heard that Zhao is literary and elegant, and she often shows the rudeness of a reckless man. I don't believe it. No one in the world challenges Lord Zhao?"

The boat was shaking gently, which meant that someone had boarded the boat. Zhao Xing cried out to Wanqi Yong's mouth and continued to tease: "Don't believe it, there are so few people in the world who dared to mess with me, Zhao Laohu!"

Wan Qiyong covered up his words with Zhao Xing, smiled and stood up and said, "Why is the fish sashimi so slow on the ground? I'll go to Mei Sanniang to urge me."

Jing Niang waved her sleeves, and several musical music behind her came forward to Zhao Xing and Xie Lin one by one. Jing Niang softly introduced the four musical music, while softly begging two local power figures to give her more convenience. Halfway through the introduction, Wan Qi Yong bumped in with excitement, shook his hands and threw out a few black stones. The black stones hit the porcelain plate on the table, making a metal sound, shaking their way, shaking several plates in succession. Before everyone could react, Wan Qi Yong explained excitedly: "I found it, they found it."

Li Qingzhao quickly grabbed two black stones and hid them in her sleeves. She stared at the few black stones that flashed on the table, and asked Zhao Xing with wide eyes: "Uncle, what are you so excited about? Are you also treasures?"

Zhao Xing pinched the black stone with an uncontrollable excitement: "Baby, it is definitely a treasure that changes the times, well, it is also a treasure that harms the times, Pandora's magic box. After three years of searching, I finally discovered it. Now, a new era has begun - this is the era of the Song Dynasty!"
