"This, this, this..."
Zheng Yueru was dumbfounded.
Only then did he know what Liu Zheng wanted to do. He wants to turn this oiran association into a guard of honor belonging to the "Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce"! On the one hand, it plays an advertising role, and on the other hand, it can also please the queen in terms of honor!
Wonderful!
How wonderful!
Zheng Yueru knew that Liu Zheng must have some agenda when he came to Liangzhou this time, just to find a future for Liu Dahao, a state title! Only by possessing the title of marquis in this state, they can then develop without hesitation.
so……
If you can use one hundred thousand taels of silver to win the queen's favor, why not do it? You know, Liu Dahao’s title of rural marquis was donated from one million taels!
Therefore, in Liu Zheng's heart, there is no question of whether it is worth it or not.
"understood?"
Liu Zheng looked at Zheng Yueru with a smile.
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly and said: "Although I understand a little bit, this... this kind of approach is unique in the world!"
Liu Zheng laughed loudly: "With the contract in hand, who can say anything about us? It didn't happen before, but it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future! Go, by the way, we also need to prepare various leaflets for this oiran meeting and distribute them to every city in the surrounding cities of Liangzhou. Every corner, remember, is every corner!"
Zheng Yueru was shocked.
Although this kind of practice was only seen in her life, she seemed to be able to predict what changes it would bring to Liangzhou and even to the oiran when it really happened.
Return to the inn.
Everyone started to get busy.
Soon, the news that the Liu family and his son "sponsored" the Oiran Association spread throughout Liangzhou.
"How much? Fifty thousand taels?"
"Is he crazy?"
"Everything is ready, top to bottom, at least one hundred thousand taels, right?"
People were still questioning it, but soon, various leaflets were received. This is the first time for most people to see a "leaflet".
"Oiran party, queen's wedding visit, royal guard of honor, all-night carnival, drunk Yinzhou, all-you-can-drink with free bill!"
The flyer is very simple, because the current printing technology cannot support any gorgeous picture. Fortunately for Liu Zheng, the printing technology of this era was relatively mature, and living body printing had been popularized, so flyers were flying everywhere overnight.
But like he said.
In the upper right corner of the flyer, the Yinzhou Beach logo with the four characters "Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce" was not forgotten.
For a time, Liangzhou was shaken and people were talking a lot.
Many people were excited when they saw it. Free drinks in Zuiyinzhou? Do they know what kind of wine this "Drunken Yinzhou" is? Twenty taels of silver per pound! The weather in Liangzhou is very cold, and there are many people who drink to keep out the cold, and many drunkards are born. These people have only heard of the name "Drunken Silver State", but who is willing to spend their income in the past few years to buy a pound of it? ? So as soon as it was free, the whole city was in high spirits, waiting for the arrival of the Oiran Association.
And here.
Zheng Yueru had already followed Liu Zheng's instructions and contacted the trading company after returning. The four words "joint preparation" in the contract allowed her to participate in the ceremonial guard activities without any hindrance. She immediately collected the height measurements of all the staff of the Oiran Club, and then customized work clothes with trademarks.
Then she contacted three printing workshops in Liangzhou to print trademark stickers and flyers as beautifully as possible.
The workshops in Yinzhou also started delivering fine wines and daily necessities as soon as they received the letter from Fei Ge.
Then Liangzhou's car dealership and escort agency began to hire various carriages.
Hualou Trading Company has no idea about this.
After all, the fifty thousand taels of silver were real money. They had prepared their own various lanterns, fireworks, and a ten-mile foreign market, so naturally they had no time to take care of the situation here.
And Liu Zheng.
After returning to Liangzhou, I finally came to the Fengminglou branch in Liangzhou for the first time.
The Liangzhou branch is actually much more magnificent than the Yinzhou "headquarters". There are five floors alone. It is considered a very tall building in Liangzhou. The layers are layered and the style is elegant. It is completely It was based on Liu Zheng’s idea.
This day.
Shen Manqing is dancing upstairs. Since she left Liangzhou, she has not come out to see guests since she stayed in Fengming Tower in Liangzhou, and she only concentrates on preparing for the oiran party. She knows that Liangzhou is not comparable to a small place like Yinzhou. Every year, there are countless oirans here and beauties appear frequently. Although she is excellent in piano skills, she still needs more efforts to stand out in the oiran association.
"Miss, it's time for you to take a rest..."
The maid next to her who was dedicated to serving Shen Manqing felt distressed.
From morning to noon, Miss Manqing never stopped.
Shen Manqing turned around and smiled, charming the country and the city, and said softly: "Fool, look how busy he is. He has been in Liangzhou for so many days. Has he rested?"
The maid smiled bitterly.
As soon as Shen Manqing appeared in Liangzhou, although she did not leave the court, her performance of "Qiao Qiao Qiao" for several nobles was enough to cause a shock in Liangzhou, and all the princes came out. At the busiest time, several young men spent a lot of money in Fengming Tower just to catch a glimpse of Shen Manqing, but she closed the door to thank guests and never came out.
She knew that the person in Shen Manqing's heart was hundreds of miles away...
"Then miss, finish the soup before continuing..."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound from below.
"The master is here!"
"who?"
"Master Liu! The famous Master Liu, don't you know?"
Shen Manqing had just picked up the bowl of soup. When she heard this, she was slightly startled. The soup bowl fell to the ground in her hand. She ran out like the wind and burst into tears. But when she arrived at the door and saw the familiar figure, she stopped again. He hesitated and leaned against the door to look at each other.
Liu Zheng also looked up with a smile.
"Is Manqing okay?"
Shen Manqing burst into tears: "You're fine, Young Master, Young Master has lost weight..."
Liu Zheng looked at Shen Manqing and resisted the urge to hug her. The beauty was pear-shaped with pear blossoms in the rain, which made people pity her. He knew Shen Manqing's affection for him and had always known it. He had never minded Shen Manqing's origin. He also knew that as long as he said a word, he would be Shen Manqing's destination. However, later generations' views on marriage and love do not allow him to have three wives and four concubines for the time being. He will not be easily tempted by a woman, even if she is as perfect as Shen Manqing.
Probably because he was a 996 social animal in his previous life and had never been in love before. He had an extraordinary yearning for love, and he thought it should be more thrilling, more sacred, and more appropriate.
Zheng Yueru watched from the side and sighed slightly.
The goddess is interested, but Prince Xiang is ruthless. It seems that the more ruthless Liu Zheng is, the more infatuated Shen Manqing is. Things in the world are always so helpless. But at the same time, she felt sad in her heart. She was suddenly a little confused. She even admired and envied Shen Manqing. She seems to know that her identity is definitely not suitable for Mr. Liu, but she can boldly express her love even if there is no response.
No.
It seems that there was some response today, but it was just a response.
"Can I help you dress up today?"
Liu Zheng walked up to Shen Manqing and smiled softly.
Shen Manqing's delicate body trembled, her tears could no longer be controlled, and she was infinitely shy. Under the envious eyes of countless sisters, she returned to her room.
Liu Zheng knew that the best thing he could give Shen Manqing was to respect her choice, her dedication to music, and her thoughts on the Oiran Association. He can't do it. In that case, there will be one less person in this world who is truly pursuing his musical ideal.
That night, he combed Shen Manqing's hair and then sat opposite her to play the piano.
Regarding Shen Manqing's image, Liu Zheng's help was too limited.
She is already beautiful enough. Whether it is in the aesthetics of this era or in the eyes of Liu Zheng from later generations, she is a beauty that will captivate the country. No matter what she wears, she can attract anyone.
When it comes to makeup, Liu Zheng, an engineering guy, is naturally even more ridiculous.
Therefore, it would be better to give Shen Manqing some help in his piano skills.
really.
After Shen Manqing heard Liu Zheng's music, she temporarily lost her obsession with him and was completely immersed in the competition between the two of them.
On this day, Liu Zheng didn't sleep again all night. The guests of Fengming Tower are in luck. The unheard piano music faintly coming from the top floor made many people obsessed with it.
…
And at this time.
A huge team is on the way.
The momentum is huge and continuous.
When people look at it from a distance, they will kneel down and worship.
Royal ceremonial guards have been the product of the development of the feudal social hierarchy of Chinese civilization since ancient times. It began in the pre-Qin period, gradually improved after the Han and Jin Dynasties, and showed a flourishing trend in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was originally a guard function of the ancient royal family, and later evolved into a ceremonial symbol of the feudal dynasty.
The queen's guard of honor is naturally one of the best. Vehicle driving records, ceremonial drums, clothing, etc. all display unique functions and aesthetic characteristics.
Thousands of officials were surrounded by solemn ceremonial guards, and drums and music were heard on colorful screens.
The ceremonial guard team of three thousand people showed the majesty of the Queen of Longyan Dynasty.
The extremely luxurious carriage was incense-scented by the stove and drove smoothly. Even though it was already night, there was no bumps inside. It was like a later-generation RV, with beds, bedding, and everything you need. At this time, a graceful and luxurious woman was lying on her side on the bed, closing her eyes and concentrating. Because the temperature in the car was high, there were even palace maids fanning themselves nearby.
This woman is the current empress of the Longyan Dynasty, her name is Zheng Fu!
"Queen, the messenger from Baiya wants to see you!"
Zheng Fu's eyebrows opened, and a cold look flashed across her majestic face. She seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly getting up.
The palace maid understood and asked crisply: "What's the matter? The queen is tired, please don't bother her too much!"
A letter passed through layers of screening and was handed in.
The maid opened the letter and handed it to the queen.
"waste!"
When the queen looked at it, her face turned cold and she shouted: "Is this the White Cliff Army's only ability? If you can't kill a female prostitute, what's the point of the world?"
The palace maid lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
The queen said coldly: "I know, go back!"
"Yuxing actually wants the Ai family to hand over their hopes to the Baiya bandit army. How is this unreasonable? How unreasonable!"
The queen looked gloomy: "Zheng Yuxing, his wings have become stiff! He is really not afraid that the Ai family will take advantage of his military power!"
In the car, no one dared to speak.
"Prefect Chen Ping is a classmate of the Prince's Hanlin Academy. The Emperor's deadline is approaching, and Liangzhou must be captured first!"
Talking to himself for a while.
Zheng Fu stared at the palace maid fiercely, picked up a whip and whipped the palace maid hard.
"Yes and no?"
"You tell me how to deal with him. You tell me, he's all trash!"
The palace maid wailed and begged for mercy, it was extremely miserable.
…
In Yinzhou City.
Several black figures were sneaking around the entrance of an alley.
"Brother Xuan, that old cat Deng's home is right here!"
Jiang Xuan nodded and whispered: "Remember, this time you must not alert the enemy. If there is any change, please inform me first!"
A group of young people nodded.
Jiang Xuan explained several times before leaving.
These days, according to Liu Zheng's instructions, he has managed to pull up his "team" - the team members are all small beggars in Liangzhou City. They usually make a living by begging and sneaking, and he selects them from them. Those whose conduct is not bad, take it for yourself and feed them. These little thieves are quite clever, and they basically know the situation in Liangzhou City well.
But despite this, Jiang Xuan still encountered difficulties in investigating the weapons.
At the beginning, the clue was a deacon from the Liangzhou Prefecture Weapons Workshop, but when he found that person, he had already died tragically at home! It seems that he was silenced.
The Liangzhou Prefecture's investigation ended on this clue.
But Jiang Xuan doesn’t believe in evil!
He believed that no one would take risks and steal weapons from Liangzhou Prefecture and sell them for no reason.
So, he investigated the deacon's family again, and sure enough, it was true. The deacon's family is missing, but they are most likely alive because the deacon's wife and children left Liangzhou half a month ago.
Seeing that the clues were broken again, a little beggar suddenly remembered that the deacon's son had been in contact with this old cat Deng.
Jiang Xuan was overjoyed.
The clues on the Liangzhou Prefecture side are gone, but what about the Baiya Army side? This old cat Deng is an idle person, but he has enough money to drink wine every day. This is not normal.
It seems that this Deng Laomao is the person responsible for contacting the ghosts in Liangzhou Prefecture from Baiya Army!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan became a little excited.
He will get the results right away for things that Liangzhou Prefecture cannot investigate!
In this case, who dares to underestimate himself?
"Brother Xuan, the old cat is back after drinking flower wine!"
After waiting for a while, a little thief came over to report.
Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed, and he could already hear Deng Laomao's shrinking voice at the entrance of the alley, as well as Feng Chen Nu's romantic laughter.
He waved his hand, signaling to start immediately.
Several thieves came over, extremely excited.
A group of little ghosts climbed over the wall to Laomao Deng's house and listened to the bed through the window...
When several people's faces turned red, Jiang Xuan shouted in a low voice: "Go in!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he kicked the door open, the lights in the room suddenly went out.
He felt bad.
At this time, a dagger had already reached his neck.
"Kid, are you investigating me?"
Jiang Xuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his scalp was numb.
