After eating almost the same thing and hearing the same thing, Zhao Mengqi and others left the restaurant.
It was rare to go out for fun, so the little sisters of the Zhao family naturally wanted to have a lot of fun, and Zhao Mengqi had to accompany them throughout the entire North City.
Yes, the sisters have no interest in scenic spots, but their natural desire to shop is fully expressed.
Perhaps because she was distressed that she had lost thousands of guan, Zhao Fei was completely in the style of vindictive consumption. She took Zhao Fei around various shops in the markets. As long as she saw interesting things, she didn't care whether she could use them or not, and just bought them like crazy. , of course, everything will be paid for by Mr. Zhao...
Fortunately, merchant services in this era were not much worse than those in later generations, and door-to-door delivery was also very common, saving Zhao Mengqi the trouble of carrying bags.
It was not until dusk that the sisters agreed to go back, although they were still a little tired.
After getting on the flat car, he found that Zhao Mengqi was not going back together. Zhao Yu was a little confused and said, "Fourth brother, where are you going?"
"You guys go back first, I still have something to do." Zhao Mengqi explained.
Zhao Han didn't think much about it, "Oh, okay then."
But Zhao Wei rolled her eyes and said, "Fourth brother, are you trying to do something bad?"
"Don't talk nonsense, what bad things can be done in broad daylight." Zhao Mengqi rolled his eyes at Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei was completely disapproving, "That's why you waited until the sun went down before going, otherwise why would you have left us."
"Don't make trouble. I can't take you with me when I'm doing business." Zhao Mengqi touched his nose.
"Hey! I'm not a three-year-old kid, you can't even think of deceiving me." Zhao Fei sneered, squinting like a little fox, "Hey, don't think I don't know what you want to do."
"Haha..." Zhao Mengqi had no intention of arguing with her.
Zhao Feng became excited, "Humph, you must want to go to the Oiran Convention. You are probably interested in that Tang An'an. Ha, man! If Sister Wanwan finds out, she will be very sad..."
Zhao Mengqi held his forehead, his teeth were a little itchy, "You are filled with all kinds of nonsense in your little head. Yes, I am going to the Oiran Convention, but it is also for business, not to flirt with women."
"Hehe... Unless you bring me with you so that I can testify for you in front of Sister Wanwan, otherwise..." Zhao Fei started to grasp it. ap.
Zhao Mengqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I really admire you, you idiot!"
"What is the sixth child? Fourth brother, are you confused? I am the fifth child, and Jian Niang is the sixth child." Zhao Fei laughed.
"Okay, okay, let's take you to the head office."
Zhao Mengqi thought about it and decided that it would be better to do less than to do more, lest this girl talk nonsense in Wanwan's ears.
Hey, I took my sister to visit a brothel...
What a thing! ?
Zhao Mengqi shook his head and got on another bullock cart with Gu Qing, "Go to Nanyuan."
In fact, the venue of the Oiran Convention is not a brothel, but a private garden.
The South Garden in Gusu City was first opened by Qian Yuanhuang, King of Guangling of the Wuyue Kingdom. It is probably the largest garden in the history of Suzhou, occupying less than half of Gusu City. Even the current Canglang Pavilion and Confucian Temple were once Part of South Park.
After several ups and downs, Nanyuan gradually shrank, but it still attracted high-ranking officials and nobles. After Cai Jing resigned as prime minister for the second time, Huizong granted Nanyuan as his residence, and he proudly wrote poems to show off.
Later, when the Jin soldiers invaded the south, Nanyuan did not escape the fire and was mostly destroyed. Later, it was taken over by Zhang Jun, one of the "Four Generals of Zhongxing", and renovated, making it beautiful again.
Zhang Jun started out as a small country soldier and archer. He also has some fighting skills, but his most powerful skill is probably to speculate on taking sides.
In the past, he supported Zhao Jiumei as the emperor. With this, he was extremely favored and reached the peak of power and wealth. Later, he assisted Qin Hui in promoting the policy of begging for peace. He also helped Qin Hui create perjury and contributed to Yue Fei's unjust imprisonment. In the end, he died a good death and blessed his descendants with wealth and prosperity for generations to come. .
In terms of reputation, compared with Yue Fei and Zhang Jun, they are as good as heaven and earth. In terms of actual experience, they are as small as heaven and earth. It is really disappointing.
Zhang Jun is a very good person
He is greedy for money. He has one million acres of fertile land alone, and can rent one million kilograms of land a year. He also owns a large number of gardens and houses, and rents out part of them, making a profit of 70,000 to 80,000 guan per year.
When he was still alive, in order to prevent the mountains of money at home from being stolen, he ordered people to cast the silver into one thousand taels of large silver balls, named "No Way".
Today, the Zhang family still occupies countless fertile fields and is one of the top landowners in the Song Dynasty.
The current head of the family is Zhang Ru, the fourth generation grandson of Zhang Jun. Although he is not prominent, he is still an official in the court. The Zhang family generally lives in Lin'an.
The oiran convention being held in Nanyuan this time must have been approved by the Zhang family, and it was probably even operated by the Zhang family.
In the car, Gu Qing reported to Zhao Mengqi after browsing the information sent by his subordinates.
"Your Highness, this Oiran Convention must have something to do with the Zhang family, because Zhang Shu is in the South Garden at this time, but it is still unclear how deeply the Zhang family is involved in it, and it is also unclear what its purpose is... this matter It's weird, I thought, just to be on the safe side, please don't go, Your Highness."
Zhang Shu is the legitimate son of Zhang Ru, his courtesy name is Dounan, and he calls himself Ji Xian. He is only twenty-six years old this year. He has a shady official position but has not received a real job. He is good at writing and music, and he spends his days hanging out in brothels, Chu palaces, and Goulan tile houses. He looks like a playboy who loses all his energy in playing with things.
It seems normal that such people, who have money, leisure and hobbies, are associated with things like the Oiran Convention.
But Zhao Mengqi and Gu Qing are not superficial people, and they vaguely feel that there is something intriguing about them.
"Do you think this oiran convention is a Hongmen Banquet aimed at me..." Zhao Mengqi was somewhat disapproving, "I don't think it is, maybe it has something to do with me, but using this to lure me to ambush me is too unbelievable. Are they gods who can predict that I will go? You know, if I hadn’t decided to go out today, even if I knew about the Oiran Convention, I probably wouldn’t have cared about it, let alone go."
Unbelievable or not, you are about to go there now! ?
Gu Qing looked at Zhao Mengqi and hesitated to speak.
Zhao Mengqi smiled and said, "Consultant, don't worry too much. We are in disguise today. No one should recognize us. After we go, as long as we keep a low profile and don't attract attention, then everything will be fine. Besides, be prepared." Under such circumstances, can your Imperial City Division allow me to be in danger again!?"
These words not only provoked the general, but also used his previous mistakes to manipulate the Imperial City Division, making it difficult for Gu Qing to refuse.
This His Highness is really difficult to serve!
Gu Qing smiled helplessly, once again deeply understanding Hou Tao's difficulties.
"Then... in this case, I have nothing to say, I just ask Your Highness to keep a low profile!"
"Of course, no one in the world knows how to keep a low profile better than me..."
