~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Master Shangshu, you have always been busy with national affairs. It is normal that you don't know him very well. His name is Xiao Shancai, and he lives up to his name. He is a well-known money-splitting boy who eats, drinks and has fun. He knows everything and is good at everything. His father He was a well-known businessman in the capital. After he died of illness three years ago, he left Xiaoshan Cai nearly one million yuan to his family. However, he did not expect that Xiaoshan Cai was so prodigal that he left his father behind in just three years. Most of the property given to him was lost.”
The person who answered Zhao Junchen this time was Jiang Qian, who had not dared to speak much since he took the seat because of his low status.
Seeing Jiang Qian suddenly speaking, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at Jiang Qian. After Jiang Qian was slightly stunned, he understood Zhao Junchen's doubts. His face turned red and he explained: "This Xiaoshan talent often pulls his subordinates. We went to various wonderful places in the capital together, and there were countless things to do. For a while, Xiaguan couldn't stop, so I got to know him better."
Hearing what Jiang Qian said, Zhao Junchen nodded understandingly and said with a smile: "It would take several years to throw away nearly one million yuan, but this Xiaoshan talent actually lost most of it in just three years. With such ability, , but also extraordinary.”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen asked again: "But, this Xiaoshan talent is also a court official?"
It seems that this Xiaoshan talent is quite famous, but this time it was Zuo Lanshan who explained to Zhao Junchen: "Before his death, his father donated a sum of money to the court, which gave him the title of supervisor, but this Xiaoshan talent I don’t know what means I used, but in the end I managed to please the previous Lord Jijiu and directly recommended him as an official. Although he was only a sinecure from the eighth rank, there were some tricks."
Tong Huan said with a smile: "Yes, the official has heard about this, but the reason why the official knows this person so well is because Xiao Shancai made a big joke a few days ago."
As he spoke, Tong Huan, who had always looked serious, couldn't help but smile, looking like he wanted to laugh but was trying his best to hold it back.
On the other side, Zuo Lanshan, Gu Quan, Chen Dongxiang and others were all like this, and they obviously understood what this "big joke" was. Only Zhao Junchen was full of doubts.
When Zhao Junchen saw everyone like this, he sighed and said, "My lords, are you making fun of me by being so secretive?"
Seeing that Zhao Junchen seemed a little angry, Tong Huan quickly explained: "Master Qi, it's not that I won't talk about it, but...it's just that this matter is really indecent."
After a pause, seeing Zhao Junchen still looking at him and waiting for an answer, Tong Huan finally said hesitantly: "As far as I know, this Xiaoshan talent was hanging around a brothel a few days ago because of the pancreas made by the Lord. I kept on attacking, and finally exhausted my energy and passed out. Finally, I was carried all over the capital to find a doctor by the brothel people. I finally recovered. This situation was the only one I had experienced in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. One copy even alarmed the officials. For the sake of the reputation of the court, this Xiaoshan talent has been suspended by the court for investigation."
Hearing what Tong Huan said, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Xiao Shancai was still hesitating and wandering not far away, he said to Jiang Qian: "Call him over. This is a wonderful man."
Seeing that Zhao Junchen was somewhat interested in Xiao Shancai, Jiang Qian nodded, stood up and waved to Xiao Shancai.
Seeing Jiang Qian's actions, Xiao Shancai couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly walked to Zhao Junchen and others, bowed and said: "Xiao Shancai, the lower official, has met Mr. Zhao and all of you."
After Zhao Junchen nodded, Xiao Shancai raised his glass and toasted to Zhao Junchen: "Congratulations on your promotion. I have admired you for a long time. I hope you can take care of me in the future."
Xiao Shancai was hinting that he wanted to join Zhao Junchen.
In fact, every official who toasted to Zhao Junchen would have more or less similar expressions.
Zhao Junchen looked at Xiao Shancai with interest, nodded with a smile, and raised his glass to take a sip.
Xiao Shancai did not dare to waste the time of the court ministers. When he saw Zhao Junchen put down his wine glass, he was ready to bow and leave.
However, Zhao Junchen suddenly asked: "Master Xiao, I heard that you know how to have fun best. Is there any fun place in Beijing? Can you introduce it to me?"
Xiao Shan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Zhao Junchen talking to him, and quickly explained to Zhao Junchen the places he knew about the fun places in the capital.
Xiao Shancai described in detail which brothel and which girl had what kind of beauty, which restaurant had what kind of special taste, and which unknown place had what kind of gameplay. This Xiaoshan talent was no less eloquent than the previous Jin Duode. He also talked endlessly, but the content he said was much more interesting than Jin Duode. Everyone at the table listened with gusto and did not feel bored at all.
Especially Zhao Junchen looked at Xiao Shancai in front of him with thoughtful eyes.
This Xiaoshan talent is not only good at eating, drinking and having fun? He is simply full of tricks, a great master! Even Zhao Junchen has never heard of many gameplays.
If Jin Duode just now was found to be a talent by Zhao Junchen because of his good eloquence, then this Xiaoshan talent, because he can play well, spend money, and pull others to spend money together, in In Zhao Junchen's eyes, he was a genius.
Perhaps, from a certain perspective, in Zhao Junchen's view, the Xiaoshan talent in front of him was more important than all the officials here combined.
Yes, for some reason, after hearing these descriptions from Xiao Shancai, Zhao Junchen actually thought of a very interesting plan.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Shancai's description finally came to an end, but the officials present at the table had expressions of unfinished expression on their faces.
Zhan Shanchang chuckled and said: "I didn't expect that there are so many wonderful places in the capital, and there are so many ways to play. You are a talent. However, don't do what you did last time in the future, because you had so much fun. People are carrying it around looking for doctors."
Hearing what Zhan Shanchang said, everyone at the table laughed.
To them, Xiao Shancai was just a little person who was used for fun and was not afraid of offending.
What's more, it is impossible for Zhao Junchen to accept a person like Xiao Shancai as his disciple, so there is no need to care.
Xiao Shancai looked embarrassed when faced with everyone's teasing, but he didn't dare to say anything.
However, Zhao Junchen, who was just sitting aside and listening quietly, suddenly spoke.
"Master Xiao just said that I would like to take more care of you, and I will do so here. After tomorrow morning, you can come to my house to see me. I have something to entrust to you."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, the laughter of everyone at the table stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at Zhao Junchen in disbelief.
Zhao Junchen actually wants to take someone like Xiao Shancai as his disciple?
What's more, today is the first time that Zhao Junchen expresses his attitude directly like this!
What is so important about this Xiaoshan talent?
On the other side, Xiao Shancai also looked at Zhao Junchen in disbelief. He knew his reputation and status very well. He just came to Zhao Junchen to try his luck today, but he didn't expect that Zhao Junchen actually agreed. Take him as your disciple! !
After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Shan was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for the promotion! Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for the promotion!"
"You don't need to be so polite." Zhao Junchen smiled half-heartedly, with a meaningful look in his eyes: "In the future, as long as you can do the things assigned by me, it will be fine."
At this time, no one knew why Zhao Junchen valued Xiao Shancai.
However, on the second day after he surrendered to Zhao Junchen, Xiao Shan resigned from his official position and opened a club in a hidden alley in the west of the capital to only entertain court officials.
This club is called "Heaven and Earth". According to some informed people, the description of heaven and earth is like this - "Integrity officials go in, corrupt officials come out"! !
