Yi Jing, Chen Kee Tea House
A pretty girl in her twenties sat on the stage playing and singing Du Shiniang. Wu Nong's soft words made people feel like they were in that tragic love story.
I was shocked when I heard this.
It's like cold water poured over my arms holding ice,
I'm speechless even if I talk about wood carvings and clay sculptures.
Clouds cover my eyes and my ears are ringing
My heart is like a knife piercing,
My whole body is shaking
···············
···············
Ye Mingsheng, who was sitting in the corner of the teahouse, could not understand the soft words of the girl Wu Nong on the stage, but this did not prevent him from appreciating the art of her performance.
A month ago, I didn’t know where Chen Qingshu, the owner of Chenji Teahouse, had gone. He actually found an opera troupe from Jiangnan to sing Jiangnan Pingtan.
Because the Jiangnan Pingtan of this opera troupe is very good, and several girls in the troupe are very pretty and pretty in their twenties, and they are all good at playing the piano, so we started at Chenji Teahouse. The performance was a hit.
The old and young men in Yijing City also want to feast their eyes on the romantic and elegant city for a while. Fortunately, the security in Yijing City under the rule of Fengwu Army is good. Otherwise, jealousy will inevitably happen. If the sword is used and blood is seen, it will be even worse. That’s not good!
Ye Mingsheng also knew about this Jiangnan Pingtan opera troupe because he went to private interviews in private and often went to Chenji Teahouse to drink tea and listen to music.
Although I feel a little curious, because there have been too many things recently, and Ye Mingsheng does not dare to abandon his official career for personal reasons, he can only suppress his thoughts temporarily. Only when the military and political affairs are almost settled, Ye Mingsheng dares to take a break. , come to this Chenji Teahouse to listen to music and relax...
After the girl on the stage finished singing, Ye Mingsheng opened his eyes and asked Ye Kui beside him:
"what is her name?"
Ye Kui thought for a moment and said:
"It seems that the stage name is Mingqiu, but the real name is not clear yet!"
Ye Mingsheng raised his head slightly and said:
"You sing well, you should be rewarded!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, Ye Kui's eyes flashed with surprise, but he immediately gave a look to the men next to him. The guard of the personal guard camp immediately took out ten silver coins and threw them to the man who was collecting the reward money.
Seeing these ten silver coins, the waiter was first surprised and then quickly bowed and said with a smile:
"Thank you for the silver dollar! I wish you good luck, good fortune, good health and all the best!"
When other people in the teahouse saw Ye Mingsheng's guards giving silver coins to people, they all looked over with curiosity, carefully guessing the identities of Ye Mingsheng and his party.
[In view of the general environment,
The Fengwu Army began to promote silver coins a long time ago, but due to various reasons, the circulation was not high. Ye Mingsheng also used most of the silver coins minted to reward the meritorious soldiers of the Fengwu Army.
Ye Mingsheng's original intention was to borrow the hands of these people to circulate the silver coins in the market, but who would have thought that these silver coins were exquisitely made, had high silver content, and could also be blown.
And the silver dollar was originally awarded to meritorious soldiers by Ye Mingsheng, so the silver dollar is regarded by many people as exclusive to the Fengwu Army, and is a status symbol in the eyes of the people... ················
Therefore, these Fengwu Army officers and soldiers who were rewarded cherished it very much and hid it and were reluctant to spend it!
Therefore, to this day, silver coins have been issued for several years, but they are still not common on the market!
The girl Ming Qiu on the stage also looked at Ye Mingsheng curiously and then bowed to thank him. Ye Mingsheng also smiled and nodded.
To be honest, in this Chenji Teahouse, he listened to a lot of storytelling, opera
, and what about Liaoyang drums? I occasionally listened to this Jiangnan Pingtan today, and it was really interesting!
After this episode, a storyteller came onto the stage and began to talk about the Water Margin. Perhaps stimulated by the reward of ten silver coins just now, he was talking extra hard today.
At this time, the quirky Chen Xiangling also came over. Because he knew this little girl, Ye Kui did not stop her from approaching Ye Mingsheng, and sat next to Ye Mingsheng. The little girl said softly:
"Brother Ye, this is a rare time for you to spend a lot of money just to make a beauty smile. You are really so heroic!"
Feeling the hint of jealousy in the little girl's words, Ye Mingsheng shook his head and said:
"That's an exaggeration. It's just ten silver coins, not a thousand gold coins!"
Because Ye Mingsheng borrowed Ye Dong's name from Chen Xiangling before, Chen Xiangling also knew which brother Ye was a close official of Marshal Ye, so it was not surprising that Ye Mingsheng took out the silver yuan... ·················
Looking at Ye Mingsheng, Chen Xiangling whispered again:
"Brother Ye, these silver coins may be nothing in your eyes, but if you put them outside, they are something that others will snatch up!"
If someone else said this to Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng would most likely feel bored, but for some reason Ye Mingsheng didn't feel this way when he heard this girl say it and said with a smile:
"It's just some yellow and white stuff. Sooner or later it will become popular on a large scale! Then you can have as many as you want!"
The two talked for a while, and the gentleman on stage who talked about Water Margin also came to an end. Miss Mingqiu also returned to the stage to sing the song "Ying Ying Xiang Yue" amidst the audience's expectations.
While Ye Mingsheng was admiring this sweet and charming voice, a guard from the personal guard battalion walked over quickly, and the sound of footsteps woke Ye Mingsheng up.
When Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly and was about to break out, the guard handed a letter to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"Sir, urgent report from Weiguan! Our army has won a great victory!"
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he opened the letter and started reading it. Looking at the content written by Yuan Song himself, even with Ye Mingsheng's big heart, it was difficult to suppress the joy on his face.
With the help of Tang Peng, Fengwu's army broke through Wei Pass on May 14th, killing more than 10,000 enemy troops and capturing more than 20,000 enemy troops. The enemy general, Wei Guan Commander Ma Chongyang, fell to the ground, leaving only more than 10,000 remaining enemies. Defeated towards Luo'an, our army has entered Guanzhong...
In addition to these key information, Yuan Song also compiled the entire story of Murong Lun's rebellion and copied it to Ye Mingsheng.
At this time, Ye Mingsheng only felt that happiness came too suddenly. The whole Fengwu Army had been prepared to fight fiercely at Weiguan for a period of time, but unexpectedly, Murong Lun gave him such a big gift at this time!
It's just that the extremely smart Murong Lun has tried to include himself in the game this time!
Although Mingqiu's Wu Nong's soft words were still sweet and charming, Ye Mingsheng was in no mood to listen anymore. He wanted to return to the mansion immediately to convene everyone to discuss important matters.
Thinking of this, Ye Ming Shengxuan stood up and said to Chen Xiangling beside him:
"Xiang Ling, I have some important things to do. I'll come back another day!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was about to chase him so soon, Chen Xiangling's pretty face was filled with disappointment, but seeing that Ye Mingsheng had made up her mind, she forced a smile and said:
"Well! Goodbye, Brother Ye, you must come again!"
"This is natural!" Ye Mingsheng smiled and nodded.
After saying goodbye, Ye Mingsheng was surrounded by guards and prepared to leave. However, after taking a few steps, Ye Mingsheng, who was in a very good mood, seemed to have thought of something and ordered Ye Kui beside him:
"I will pay for all the purchases at Chen Kee Teahouse today!"
"yes!"
After giving the instructions, Ye Mingsheng turned around and left the teahouse, while Ye Kui looked around in the teahouse and said loudly:
"Our master is happy today.
All consumption in the teahouse will be paid for by our master..."
After the words fell, there was an uproar in the teahouse, and many people looked at each other. This Chenji Teahouse is a place with a high consumption level in Yijing.
This day's turnover is not a small amount. No one knows who is so generous as to be able to cover Chen Ji Teahouse for a day!
At this time, Ye Kui took out a token engraved with the word leaf, handed it to Chen Xiangling and said:
"Ms. Chen, we were in a hurry and didn't bring any banknotes with us. Please keep track of the consumption in the teahouse today. Take this token and go to Dadongsheng Merchant to collect the money!"
Chen Xiangling was still a little confused and didn't know what happened, but she still subconsciously took the token from Ye Kui's hand.
After handing the token to Chen Xiangling, Ye Kui clasped his fists and left. Only then did Chen Xiangling look at the token in his hand.
Although she, a little girl, could not understand the meaning of this token, Chen Xiangling could still realize the exquisite workmanship of this token and the simple and elegant leaf character engraved on it. The preciousness of the cards, and what kind of power this token represents!
At this time, the deputy shopkeeper of the teahouse, Ma Defu, came over and looked at the token in Chen Xiangling's hand. He, who was experienced, immediately realized something. He shuddered all over and asked Chen Xiangling curiously. :
"Miss, who is this man from the Ye family?
"I've seen him come to our teahouse several times, and every time it's a big show with at least a dozen followers, and every time he comes he's very generous... ····》
Because she realized that her elder brother Ye did not want to reveal his identity, Chen Xiangling did not want to reveal Ye Mingsheng's identity to Ma Defu.
But then I thought about how I was not often in the teahouse, and I had to be distracted by things in the restaurant. It would be bad if someone in the teahouse without eyes collided with me, Brother Ye!
So Chen Xiangling hesitated and whispered to Ma Defu:
"Shopkeeper Ma, I tell you not to tell anyone else!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Defu immediately promised:
"Miss, I will definitely not tell anyone else, so don't worry!"
After receiving Ma Defu's assurance, Chen Xiangling also said:
"He is Ye Dong, a close confidant of Marshal Ye!"
Hearing what Chen Xiangling said, Ma Defu's expression suddenly became stunned. He hesitated for a moment and asked Chen Xiangling cautiously:
"Miss, you said he is Ye Dong? The Ye Dong who used to be the captain of Marshal Ye's personal soldiers?"
Facing Ma Defu's inquiry, Chen Xiangling nodded without thinking too much and said:
"Yes! He told me so!"
Looking at the eldest lady who was not aware of the problem, Ma Defu hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"Miss, that Lord Ye Dongye is now the general of the 9th Division of the Fengwu Army, and the 9th Division is currently fighting in Weiguan... ···········》
As soon as these words came out, Chen Xiangling was stunned. She couldn't believe what Ma Defu said. Seeing this, Ma Defu continued:
"Miss, this is not confidential information, you can find out just by asking around!"
Hearing what Ma Defu said, Chen Xiangling said blankly:
"Shopkeeper Ma, you said he is not Ye Dong?"
Madford nodded and said:
"Ye Dong is the general of the Ninth Division. Now the Ninth Division is fighting in Weiguan. According to the military regulations of the Fengwu Army, how could he be here leisurely drinking tea and listening to music!"
As soon as he thought about the strict military regulations of the Fengwu Army, Chen Xiangling really wanted to believe that his mysterious identity, Brother Ye, was not Ye Dong.
A feeling of being deceived instantly came to my mind, and scenes of me and Brother Ye's acquaintance could not help but appear in my mind.
At the same time, Madford continued to give instructions:
"This man is definitely not Ye Dong, but I guess he is most likely an elder of the Ye family!"
"Otherwise, with the grandeur of his trip, he might be able to pretend to be a member of the Ye family elsewhere, but where is Yi Jing?"
"The Ye family has a Marshal Ye who can be said to be red and purple now. When Marshal Ye becomes emperor, the Ye family will become relatives of the emperor. This crime of pretending to be relatives of the emperor is not low!"
"If he had pretended to be a member of the Ye family, he would have been thrown into jail long ago by the Control Office. I estimate that his identity is at least no worse than Ye Dong, otherwise he would not dare to pretend to be Ye Dong... ···········》
"This Ye Dong is Marshal Ye's die-hard brother. He is now the general of the Ninth Division. His status in the Ye family is also very high. Not to mention there are not many people who are higher than him or at the same level as him. Unless he is Those highly respected elders of the Ye family!"
"But I heard that the youngest elders of the Ye family are over fifty years old. This man looks like he is in his early thirties. He is definitely not the elder of the Ye family!"
Thinking of this, Ma Fudd thought for a while and then suggested to Chen Xiangling:
"Miss, although we don't know who this man is, I think we can trust him"!
"It's not about ten thousand, it's about the worst. If we believe him, the worst-case scenario is just losing a day's water. Although there is some pain in the body, it won't break the muscles and bones! |"
"But if he is really an elder of the Ye family, and we didn't do what he said today and didn't give him face, then given his power, we will suffer from this business in the future!
"So I think since he said he will pay for today's teahouse bill, let's count it on him today and take the token to Dadongsheng Trading Company to collect the money tomorrow... ···········》
