The Huanhua House opened by the Gongsun family here is the most famous brothel in the capital and is loved by many dignitaries and literati in the capital.
The women here are all "housekeepers" who are prostitutes rather than prostitutes.
In the past forty years, countless talents and beauties have been born here, and people talk about it.
As for the significance of the existence of Huanhua Tower, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty and the Gongsun family had a tacit understanding.
After all, this brothel can provide the Zhou Dynasty with a tax revenue of ten thousand taels every year.
The owner of Huanhua House, Hua Xiyue, is over thirty years old. She is graceful and well-known as a beauty. Countless dignitaries want to kiss her but cannot get her.
At this moment, Hua Xiyue faced Liang Xiao who was standing in front of her, smiling and speaking respectfully.
"My third lady said that since Boss Liang spent a lot of money to book the venue today, the servants here will also be at Boss Liang's disposal. This time, I believe our Huanhua Building will be able to take advantage of Boss Liang's cocktail party."
After Liang Xiao thanked Hua Xiyue, he took Hua Xiyue's belt and left with the others.
Hua Xiyue stared at the direction Liang Xiao left with a solemn expression.
"When did this boy become so decisive and shocking in his actions? He is completely different from before."
The maid behind him reminded her: "Master, Bai He is here to see you again!"
Hearing this, Hua Xiyue frowned and finally couldn't bear it any longer and stood up angrily: "After becoming the head of the family, this boy has become even more shameless!"
Outside Huanhua Building, Bai He led a group of drinkers and ran towards the maid who came out with impatient expressions.
The maid looked apologetic and wished Bai He good luck.
"Our host has said that she actually likes women, please Boss Bai, please stop stalking her!"
The drinkers were afraid that Bai He would leave sadly and were about to comfort him, but Bai smiled.
"It's great. If I can't get a woman, I can't give it to other men."
Everyone's faces were full of horror, and they were unable to turn around for a moment.
The maid was stunned. After she came to her senses, she turned around and ran away, just wanting to get away from this pervert.
Bai He took out Liang Xiao's invitation from his sleeve, looked at the main entrance courtyard of Huanhua Tower, and gritted his teeth.
"It's all Liang Xiao's fault. I was tricked by him in the mall, so I was frustrated in love. This time, the Duanmu family is here to help, let's play tricks on him!"
All the drinkers happily followed Bai He into the Huanhua Building.
An inn outside Huanhua Building, second floor.
The three sisters Jiang Fuxue, Mu Qinxue and Duan Yunxiu, who were disguised as men, looked at Liang Xiao pitifully in front of them.
Huanhua Building is considered a place of romance, and Liang Xiao does not allow them to enter.
After all, there are so many people here and it’s quite unsafe.
Duan Yunxiu was still a princess, let alone a place like that.
Although it was close to the reception scene and could be seen clearly, they were still unhappy because they couldn't be by Liang Xiao's side.
Liang Xiao really couldn't bear their resentful looks, so he had an idea and said with a smile: "As long as you don't run around today, I will tell you the next three chapters of "Journey to the West" when I get back."
The three sisters' eyes lit up, they nodded obediently at the same time, and sat leaning on the railing, just like three good girls.
After Liang Xiao left, they couldn't help but become worried.
The Gongyang family dominates the Beijing liquor industry.
Those drunkards who were invited to the reception were accustomed to drinking Gongyang's wine, and most of them were attracted by Gongyang's wine, and they might even have been bribed by Gongyang's.
But in fact, what they are most concerned about is whether any vixen will seduce Liang Xiao!
There has always been no shortage of beauties and talented women in the capital.
Dignitaries and dignitaries filed in, all with doubts on their faces.
"Since Liang Xiao invented white sugar, it has grown more and more. He only has tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hands. How dare he openly challenge the Gongyang family's wine business and choose the best Meng Jiangnan?"
"Doesn't this mean that people are full of confidence in their own 'moonlight'?"
The open-air courtyard of Huanhua Building is huge in scale. The first floor can easily accommodate a thousand people, and there are second and third floors behind it, which can accommodate a hundred people each.
The seven Dachu people, led by Xing Feng and Li Xinwen, were sitting on the second floor, accompanied by Hua Xiyue, the owner of Huanhua Building.
Gong Yangjing, Dugu Chen, Tuoba Jun and others were sitting on the third floor, shaking their paper fans.
On the first floor, there were dignitaries, merchants, bartenders, and a small number of wealthy spectators who came to join in the fun.
Everyone was looking at the high platform in the center of the compound, each with their own thoughts.
Nangong Ning sat between his brother Nangong Tian and her husband Duanmu Yunqing, with cold eyes.
The faces of the two Duanmu brothers were also extremely ugly.
The reason why Liang Xiao's cocktail party gathered so many followers was partly due to the newspaper.
During this time, all major forces realized the power of public opinion from newspapers.
too fast!
As long as the contents of the newspaper are published, they can spread throughout the entire capital, including the palace compound, within one day!
It is easy for people to follow the herd. This kind of newspaper, which often contains tens of thousands of copies of the same content, can easily guide the public opinion in the capital.
But publicity alone is not enough to make the major forces flock to this cocktail party.
"This guy actually plans to give away the only authentic copy of "Drinking Alone under the Moon" at the reception..." Duanmu Yuncheng's face was gloomy, and his breathing was a little short.
While promoting the song "Drinking Alone under the Moon" in the Sunday newspaper, it also widely advertised that Liang Xiao promised to the world that he would write "Drinking Alone under the Moon" in cursive script in public and give it to the customer with the largest booking amount!
Liang Xiao wrote a famous poem in the Prime Minister's Mansion that was concerned about the country and the people, which had already caused a sensation in the whole city.
Coupled with the encouragement of newspapers, everyone knew that Liang Xiao also had master-level calligraphy, especially his unique thin gold calligraphy, which set off a wave of copying in the capital's literary circles.
Of course, this was inseparable from the support of Duan Yunxiu and Mu Qinxue. Mu Qinxue specially took out the calligraphy treasures of Liang Xiao collected by the two sisters and asked calligraphers in the capital to evaluate them. This matter spread more and more widely.
"The clouds look like clothes and the flowers look like faces..."
"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent!"
Nangong Ning stared at the white-clothed figure walking up to the high platform, and tears of grievance burst into her eyes.
Mu Qinxue took out two poems written by Liang Xiao for her and Duan Yunxiu, envying countless beauties in the capital!
Even the talented ladies from aristocratic families couldn't help but send people to inquire about Liang Xiao's current situation, and expressed their desire to find an opportunity to visit this "poetry fairy".
More and more people in the capital believe that Liang Xiao has been producing many excellent works recently, and each one of them is exquisite and well-deserved for his poetic and elegant reputation!
In comparison, she was once Liang Xiao's fiancée and the reward for switching to Duanmu Yunqing seemed like a joke.
Even her best friend couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned Liang Xiao to her occasionally, and the look he looked at her was a bit strange, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.
And her husband Duanmu Yunqing, after getting married to her, was obsessed with her beauty, and for a time his literary thoughts were exhausted and even listless.
But Liang Xiao on the high platform was high-spirited and calm.
Both fame and status are different from what they used to be!
"Your appearance changed my supposedly wonderful life! I could have gone down in history with the Duanmu family and left countless good stories..."
The more Nangong Ning thought about it, the more he hated him. He looked at Liang Xiao who was giving instructions to his men on the high platform with malicious eyes.
“I will destroy your wine business and then everything else you own!!”
At this moment, Liang Xiao glanced at Nangong Ning.
Nangong Ning was shocked and quickly wiped away her tears, her eyes becoming a little complicated.
But soon, her eyes became more malicious.
Liang Xiao just glanced at her casually without any strange behavior, as if he didn't take her seriously at all.
This kind of disregard made her feel even more humiliated!
Nangong Ning couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up suddenly and took the lead in attacking.
"Liang Xiao, don't you want to sell wine? Everyone has been waiting here for two-quarters of an hour, staring at you. Are you selling wine or trying to please others?"
"Ning Ning..." Duanmu Yunqing was taken aback, and it was too late to stop him.
