Chapter 292 History is on the right track again

After seven or eight days of busyness, everything at Qinghe Inn was on track.

In order to support the inn, on the day when the inn was officially opened, Gao Yao brought a group of friends to have a big meal, and spread the delicious food of Qinghe Inn. Therefore, in recent days, wealthy families, merchants and even some officials came to taste it. Moreover, this new hotel model has attracted some merchants and tourists from all over the country to check in. At the same time, they have deeply remembered the hotel's working mode and these strange clothes, and slowly spread to the surrounding counties.

During this period, everything from the Huaxia Money House was ready, and the fairy matchmaking that Chen Xu had rehearsed was basically at the stage where he could perform formally.

On February 28, Fan Yong, the head of the Fan family, sent an invitation letter to dozens of wealthy merchants and wealthy men in Wancheng, inviting them to watch the singing and dancing performances at the Qinghe Theater on the 29th. At the same time, there was a major event to be announced to everyone.

As the leader of Nanyang and even the entire Daqin business community, Fan's reputation was high. Therefore, after receiving the invitation, these wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants naturally agreed to go on time. Other big and small merchants living in Wancheng and even passing by Wancheng also learned about this news, secretly inquiring about various rumors, and preparing to go to Qinghe Theater tomorrow to find out.

At the same time, the publicity of Qinghe Theater has also begun. More than a dozen gangsters were carrying some leaflets printed in the market and foothouses in Wancheng to those who looked very valuable.

"I have heard of Qinghe Theater. Just next to Qinghe Hotel, what is this theater?" A merchant who received a leaflet in a foot house was puzzled.

"I have heard of the theater. I heard it is a place to perform singing and dancing!" a well-dressed person next to him continued.

"Then what is this fairy match?"

"Maybe it is the name of a kind of singing and dancing. In Wancheng, everyone with the word Qinghe is different. The day before yesterday, I went to Qinghe Inn with a banquet with a few friends. The dish was extremely delicious, but it was ridiculously expensive!" Another big-bellied merchant licked his mouth and was still savoring it.

"It's right. Anyone with the word Qinghe is expensive, but it's so expensive that it's convincing. I think this song and dance that is called a fairy match will definitely be extraordinary. I'll go early tomorrow, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to squeeze in!"

"Brother Fei said, but it's really a bit too much to charge twenty tickets to watch a song and dance!"

"Haha, if you think it's expensive, there are people who are afraid that it's not expensive enough. Twenty dollars, but only half a stone of food. And you can only use this leaflet to enter. If you don't want to go, sell me the one in your hand, and I'll have twenty dollars with you." The man surnamed Fei sneered.

Just as a few people were talking, a young man dressed in a scribe hurriedly. When he saw the leaflets in his hands, his eyes lit up. He rushed up and said, "Are you holding the leaflets from Qinghe Theater?"

"Yes!" The few people nodded together.

"That's great. Can you sell the leaflets with me? I'll pay thirty dollars!" The young scholar was overjoyed.

"I'll sell it to you for fifty dollars?" The person who thought it was expensive just now was stunned for a moment.

"Okay!" The young scholar agreed without thinking. He opened his purse and counted fifty dollars and handed it over. He took the leaflet and turned around happily and left.

But just after the young scholar left, several men rushed in one after another, panting and demanding to buy leaflets, and the price had risen by 80 yuan.

In just less than a quarter of an hour, this leaflet alone had been hyped up to nearly a hundred dollars.

"I regret it!" The person who sold the flyer for fifty dollars just now beat his chest and stamped his feet and regretted it.

"Haha, you regret it very much. Others give you fifty dollars for free, enough for you to buy food for two months!" Fatty Fei sneered and slowly folded a leaflet in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket. After tidying up his clothes, he was too lazy to look at the man next to him, and Shi Shiran left his foot house.

This kind of scene is being staged everywhere in Wancheng, and after many people inquired, the song and dance called Tianxian is already clear. It is said that the legendary story is an ancient myth, including fairies, cowherds, old cows who can speak, as well as heavenly soldiers and emperors and queen mothers.

Attracted by this mythological story that I had never heard of, both the wealthy merchants and the Fang family in Wancheng were so touched that they were itchy and kept arranging people to go to Qinghe Theater to inquire, so the whole street was surrounded and could not be thirsty.

"In this era, there are still too few entertainment programs!" Chen Xu stood at the door of the inn, watching more and more people, and he didn't know where to put his hands. Wang Wu and four other guards were wearing black clothes and iron swords, and like future soldiers, they kept the people trying to squeeze in firmly outside the door.

"Get out of the way~" As a few familiar sounds came at the street intersection dozens of meters away, the crowd was in a stir. After a while, Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou were seen riding horses and squeezing over.

"I have seen Chen Lang! Qingrou has been away for many days, which makes you worried!" Shui Qingrou looked at Chen Xu who came to help her lead her horse. After getting off the horse, she took off her face towel and saluted her quickly.

"No need to be so polite! Thank you all the way, hurry up and wash and rest!" Chen Xu walked into the room with a smile, holding Shui's gentle hand and walked into the room.

"My benefactor, what are you going to do? Why are there so many idle people gathering at the door?" Yu Wuya followed behind and asked in surprise.

"Tomorrow I will invite Fan Yang and dozens of merchants from Wancheng to watch the fairy matchmaker, and sent out some flyers. I didn't expect so many people to inquire about the news!" Chen Xu said with a wry smile.

"According to this situation, I'm afraid the threshold will be broken tomorrow! Will my benefactor notify Gao Yao in advance and ask him to arrange some soldiers to maintain order?" Yu Wuya reminded him with a little nervousness.

"No, Gao Yao had arranged someone to inform me just now that the county magistrate Gao Yong will come to watch the show in person tomorrow, and no one dares to cause trouble!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he ordered the inn's helper to gently fetch water for Yu Wuya and Shui to wash. After the two of them were washed and cleaned up, he asked about their situation when they returned to Lushan.

"Master Yunyou has not returned yet, so my junior sister and I waited on the mountain for a few days. As a result, the eldest and third brothers also came back. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we gathered on the mountain for three days. We were afraid that our benefactor would worry, so we came back!" Yu Wuya briefly said the matter.

"Have you ever asked your senior brother about assassinating the emperor?" Chen Xu asked in a low voice.

Yu Wuya nodded: "After my benefactor last time he said that, I met my senior brother this time, so I asked, but he only said that there were too many guards around Zhao Zheng and it was not easy to assassinate him. However, when Zhang Liang went to the country to borrow strong men, he might assassinate Zhao Zheng during the tour. As for the specific location and time, he could only choose the opportunity to go, and there would be nothing else!"

Sure enough, when Chen Xu heard the strongman, he knew that history was on the right track again, and Zhang Liang's assassination of Qin Shihuang would probably not change at all.

Just after Chen Shih the next day, Chen Xu and others had breakfast, and Fan Yong came by the escort of several servants.

"Haha, I heard about the fairy match yesterday and didn't sleep all night. I put down my bowl and chopsticks and couldn't wait to come!" After getting off the car, Fan Yong bowed to Chen Xu who was greeting him, and his face smiled very happily.

"Old Fan, please sit in there and have a rest and have tea, but the singing and dancing rehearsal is short and hastily. Don't be disappointed after watching it!" Chen Xu also smiled and replied.

"How could you be disappointed? The word Qinghe alone is worth looking forward to! There will definitely be many business colleagues coming soon, so I won't go in and stand at the door to greet you. If you have something to do, go and do your best, don't worry about me. I will take good care of these people!" Fan Yong waved his hand and asked the coachman to drive away the carriage, and then stood at the door to wait.

Sure enough, in a short while, seven or eight luxurious single-bridle carriages came one after another. Those who came down were all famous wealthy families in Wancheng. I didn’t know the first three, and the fourth one was Ran Chi-han, the largest copper and iron merchant in Nanyang.

Ran Chi and Chen Xu had been together twice. After greeting each other, Ran Chi knew that Qinghe shops and inns and theaters were Chen Xu's industries, so his eyes almost fell off when he was surprised.

Assistants were arranged to introduce Ran Chiang and others to the seats in the theater for tea, and carriages followed one after another. They were all big businessmen with great reputations in Wancheng and even in Daqin. They were tall, short, fat and thin, but they were almost all over forty or fifty years old. They all looked unscathed and looked low-key, but behind each of them had a wealthy family.

Fan Yong introduced Chen Xu one by one. These people included copper and iron merchants, salt merchants, grain merchants, cloth merchants, and even wine merchants. After learning that Chen Xu was the owner of Qinghe Store, they all talked and greeted each other enthusiastically.

It was not until the person invited by Fan Yong arrived that the head of the Shui family, Shui Hong, arrived, but he also brought a large box of gifts and dozens of kilograms of new tea. After the box was opened, the five-color light shone brightly inside the pearl, agate, jade, gemstones inside emitted a charming light in the sun.

"The Shui family leader is so polite, please sit in there!" Chen Xu bowed and thanked him and asked someone to carry the boxes and tea leaves filled with gems into the store, and then personally met Shu Hong into the theater to arrange for tea to be served.

The Shui family was an old Korean aristocrat and had a strong connection with other Korean noble princes. This connection is a deeply rooted tradition that no one can change unless the Shui family is eradicated.

The Shui family is still a Shui Qingrou family. No matter what the Shui family is, Chen Xu must treat him with courtesy and cannot make Shui Qingrou feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, like Chen Jiang, who had a quarrel with his parents until he was old and dead, even if Shui Qingrou could tolerate it, Chen Xu could not accept it directly. After all, the family affection of blood thicker than water is the basis for maintaining the continuous development and growth of mankind. A person without a family will be lonely and dead like a lonely ghost. This is also the reason why Chen Xu attached so much importance to Chen Jiang and Xing'er. Although he had changed his soul, his bloodlines were connected and no one could replace him.
