Ziguang Society is extremely good at collecting intelligence. It once claimed that wherever there are women, there are their eyes and ears.
This is not alarmist, but it is true. After all, Dao Sect has personally verified that it can indeed penetrate in, making it impossible to guard against.
Wang Jiaoyan is also a woman, and there are many women among the people she comes into contact with. Qi Xuansu was afraid of being falsely accused again and fearing that his reputation and future would be affected, so he was very taboo about establishing too close relationships with women other than Zhang Yuelu.
Wang Jiaoyan has no such concerns. He has many close friends among his girlfriends, and among these close friends, there may be people from the Ziguang Society.
However, Qi Xuansu was still curious and asked: "Where did you know these things? I'm afraid it wasn't hearsay, right?" Chen Jianqiu smiled slightly: "I wonder if you have heard of Biqing Villa?" Qi Xuansu thought for a while: "Never heard of it. I said it. Why, this is also a secret association?" Chen Jianqiu shook his head and said: "Of course it is not a secret association, but it can be regarded as a small association and is recognized by the Taoist sect. There are various guilds in the Imperial City, such as Jiangzhou Guild Hall, Qizhou Guild Hall, Wuzhou Guild Hall, etc., are mainly places where bureaucrats, gentry, and scholars from the same town gather. This Biqing Villa can also be regarded as a guild hall, but it has nothing to do with the fellow villagers, but a place where some women with special status drink tea and gather." Qi Xuansu asked: "What kind of women with special status are they? Are you among them?" Chen Jianqiu said: "I was indeed invited and am a member of this association, but I am just an ordinary member, above me There are also more core members, as well as several village owners of the villa." Qi Xuansu became more and more curious: "You, the princess conferred by the Daxuan court, are just ordinary members, so who is the so-called owner of the villa? Could it be? The princess of Daxuan?" Chen Jianqiu said: "Not the princess of Daxuan, but also some people with great backgrounds. In the earliest days, it was a poetry club organized by several ladies from powerful families. This can also be regarded as the predecessor of Biqing Villa. At that time, it was still very elegant. The ladies from each family took turns doing things and posting, mainly reciting poems and painting. Later, these rich ladies got married one after another and needed to support the family. They were not as free as being daughters at home, so they stopped singing. The poetry and painting are leisurely and elegant. This poetry club gradually changed its flavor and became a gathering place for ladies. Later, it simply became a business and expanded its business. If you want to join it, you must pay a certain membership fee. At the same time, you can Enjoying various services is no worse than Wutong Garden in the Imperial Capital." Qi Xuansu asked: "Do the various services you mentioned involve matters between men and women?" Chen Jianqiu said: "I am young and have never experienced it. I go there occasionally. A few times it was just for tea. But according to my observation, most of them are. Those ladies are like wolves at thirty and like tigers at forty. Although the men in the family are not weak in energy, most of them have no interest in them. Occasionally For this reason, it was perfunctory. It is not surprising that they have such needs." Qi Xuansu understood clearly in his heart.
No wonder it’s called Biqing Villa. It’s not both green and green, but there’s no way to escape it.
The word "green". As Chen Jianqiu said, this is not surprising. Because the Taoist sect is divided into two factions, one is the conservative faction, and the four elites of the Taoist sect are basically from this faction. It can be said that this faction has the absolute upper hand among the top leaders of the Taoist sect, including the Grand Master and the Third Master, as well as seven ordinary people. Zhang Dazhen and the three princes are all conservatives. They either don't marry or stay together, because the affairs between men and women are easily linked to morality. In terms of the Taoist sect's strictness on morality, if you want to go further Even though I am far away, I still can’t let anyone take credit for this.
The other faction is the Xiaoyao faction, which advocates taking pleasure in time. Most of these people have low positions, but it does not mean that they have no power. Members of major families
Most of the "Lizi" people belong to this group. Precisely because of the existence of Xiaoyao Sect,
Only "Tianle Taoyuan", Wutong Garden and Biqing Villa have the value of existence. The husbands of these women may not be unaware, but to the people of the Xiaoyao sect, it is nothing at all. Everyone has their own way of doing things, and there are even some young and beautiful men who have reached the sky in one step by relying on this shortcut.
Strictly speaking, Qiniang is also a conservative, because she is not married. Although she claims to have had a son, no one has seen this son, including her old acquaintances.
Moreover, when she adopted her adopted son, she truly raised him as a son. She would beat him when he needed to be beaten, scold him when he needed to be scolded, support him when he needed to be supported, and focus on nurturing him.
This is not the case for some people. There are many people who talk sweetly, focus on companionship, and sleep in the same bed with their godson.
Cultivation and companionship are worlds apart. Qi Xuansu asked: "You just mentioned Wang Jiaoyan, and now you mention Biqing Villa. Do you mean that Wang Jiaoyan is related to Biqing Villa?" Chen Jianqiu said: "Second Xi Mingjian. As far as I know, Wang Jiaoyan is related to Biqing Villa?" Jiao Yan is one of the owners behind the Green Villa, and not only that, she also has a lover in the Green Villa." Qi Xuansu couldn't help but glance at Chen Jianqiu.
Chen Jianqiu continued: "I only found out after I went to Biqing Villa. There are also 'oirans' in Biqing Villa, but these 'oirans' are not women, but men. All of them have outstanding looks and fair skin. She is beautiful, frail and delicate, I feel pity for her." Qi Xuansu sighed: "Now we are really equal." Chen Jianqiu was almost amused by this sentence, and suppressed his laughter and continued: "Among these 'oirans', there are The name is Xiye." Qi Xuansu said: "This name is a bit strange, and the surname is not common." Chen Jianqiu said: "It's a flower name, not a real name. Women nowadays like this style." Qi Xuansu
He said "Oh" without making any comment. Chen Jianqiu continued: "I have seen this Xi Ye once. He is indeed very beautiful. He is an undoubted handsome man. At first glance, he looks quite elegant, a bit like a humble gentleman. He is also thin and unpretentious. Those who are older When women saw this, they wanted to hold him in their arms and love him. It is said that several members were jealous of him and even fought. Such a person was naturally attracted to Wang Jiaoyan, who was used to being domineering. , didn’t want to share Xi Ye with others, and just wanted Xi Ye to be his sweetheart, so he found an excuse to transfer Xi Ye from Biqing Villa to Nanyang United Trading Company to serve as her secretary.” Qi Xuansu said: “First come first served. Moon." As a member of Ziguang Society, Chen Jianqiu didn't feel too shy when talking about this kind of thing. He said directly: "I also heard about the next thing. It is said that Wang Jiaoyan must take this secretary with him every time he goes out. , and she usually does not live with her husband, but has a separate mansion, and her secretary often stays there in order to take care of her. As for whether there is something ulterior happened between these two people , I dare not make any judgments, it can only be a matter of benevolence and wisdom." Qi Xuansu asked: "Does Lin Tianhe know about this matter?" Chen Jianqiu shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. Maybe he knows, at least he heard something. The rumor was just because of the power of Wang Jiaohe and Wang Jiaoying. He didn't dare to do anything to Wang Jiaoyan, so he could only pretend not to know. It's also possible that Lin Tianhe didn't care at all. I heard that Lin Tianhe was It’s not that clean and tidy outside, there are also many beauties who don’t know who they are, red, white, and black.”
"What's red, white, black..." Qi Xuansu suddenly woke up mid-sentence, and his words stopped abruptly.
Of course the color is not wine, but skin color. I have to say that it’s not that the whole family doesn’t come to the same house, but the couple has a lot of fun.
It can also be said that this is the norm for many people. People like Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu who dare to betray and draw their swords to kill are the minority among the minority. They are simply outliers.
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "Stop talking about this, you continue to talk about Wang Jiaoyan." Chen Jianqiu nodded, and then said: "This Xiye is also somewhat ambitious. He is not satisfied with just being Wang Jiaoyan's male favorite. He wants to I want to be a Taoist priest. Secondly, you know that the identity of a Taoist priest is first and foremost innocent. It has been investigated for three generations, so he is either an orphan and a commoner, or he is from a noble family. Many big people cannot ask for it. They can only get someone with the same background as a Taoist priest. His background, How can one be a Taoist priest? It is very difficult to even be a Taoist priest. Naturally, Wang Jiaoyan could not agree, so Xiye had a temper with Wang Jiaoyan. Wang Jiaoyan had no choice but to promise to jointly trade in Nanyang. Promote him within the company." Qi Xuansu's heart moved.
At this point, Biqing Villa, Wang Jiaoyan, and Nanyang United Trading Company are finally connected. The key is this Xi Ye.
Chen Jianqiu continued: "Although Wang Jiaoyan is nominally one of the owners of Nanyang United Trading Company, in fact, Nanyang United Trading Company has many shareholders who are local snakes in Nanyang, including the Sun family. And Wang Jiaoyan is just Representing the Wang family, she also has Wang Jiaohe, so Nanyang United Trading Company is not Wang Jiaoyan's private property, and Wang Jiaoyan cannot have the final say in everything, let alone promote Xi Ye to the top of the company all at once. After all, it is difficult to convince the public. If the old people in the company make trouble and go to complain to Wang Jiaohe, Wang Jiaoyan will also be in trouble."
"So Wang Jiaoyan thought of a way to let Xi Ye start from the bottom first. In fact, it is gold plating. At least the qualifications are acceptable, so that she can promote Xi Ye without being too ugly. Xi Ye first worked in Borneo He worked in Bian's head office for several years. He didn't know much about trade, but he knew how to deal with people. He also had connections at Biqing Villa, plus Wang Jiaoyan's care, and he had some success. It's just that Xi Ye was successful. He was so arrogant that he accidentally stabbed Wang Jiaoyan because of something that angered Wang Jiaoying. Wang Jiaoyan threatened to castrate him, so Wang Jiaoyan had no choice but to send him to Lingnan to avoid the limelight."
"As far as I know, Xi Ye has mastered many secrets of Wang Jiaoyan. If he can be taken down, Wang Jiaoyan will not be able to escape from the hands of the second chair." After listening, Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully: " Lingnan.”
