Chapter 23 Celebration Conference

The book "History of Ming Dynasty" did not have a high evaluation of Zhu Houzhao, saying that he was playful, greedy, lustful, military-oriented, rogue, and acted absurdly. But in fact, those who are truly familiar with the history of Ming Dynasty knew that Zhu Houzhao was not a very unbearable emperor. From many things, it can be seen that he was resolute and decisive, and was an emperor with the potential of a wise ruler.

Zhu Houzhao's father, Zhu Youzhang, was Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty. He was one of the few emperors in history to be named the hero of a generation. The evaluation of Zhu Youzhang in "History of Ming Dynasty" can be summarized as eight words: "Respect, frugal, and disciplined, diligent and loving the people." The Hongzhi period can be regarded as a revival of the Ming Dynasty. In this dynasty, there were many upright ministers, such as Wang Shu, Li Dongyang, and Liu Daxia.

As Zhu Youzhao's only son, Zhu Houzhao grew up under the favor of his father and mother. It would be better to say that he was a spoiled child than to say that he was a spoiled child.

After reading "Victoria's Secret", Zhu Houzhao picked five girls and went to the largest "Qunfangju" in Qunfang Pavilion. Without too much guessing, he also knew that Zhu Houzhao was going to be Zhao Zilong in Changshan tonight and kill a seven-in and seven-in and seven-out. Well... Of course, there are definitely more than just seven-in and seven-out and seven-out.

Late at night.

Most of the guests had left, and only a few of them chose to stay overnight. Zhu Houzhao was naturally one of them. Jiang Xia had handled everything and was ready to rest, but when she arrived at the third floor, she happened to meet Zhang Yong.

Jiang Xia raised his hand to Zhang Yong and shouted: "Master Zhang."

Zhang Yong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young Master Jiang, you are sworn brothers with my master. How dare I call myself a 'master' in front of you? Just call the young master Zhang Yong directly, it seems too polite."

It seems apart? Jiang Xia was slightly stunned and thought to himself, what does it mean to seem apart? Is it because he is already very apart? I have never felt familiar with you?

However, there is a saying that people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. Seeing Zhang Yong so polite, Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It would be too disrespectful to call him Daming. If the 'Master' does not dislike it, then what if Jiang Xia simply calls 'Brother Zhang'?"

"This..." Zhang Yong thought secretly in his heart. Jiang Xia was the emperor's "big brother". If Jiang Xia called himself "big brother", wouldn't that mean he became the emperor's "big brother"? Zhang Yong immediately shook his head and said, "This is probably something wrong. After all, Young Master Jiang, you are the 'sy-spoken brother' of my master. If you call me a brother, wouldn't I betrayal?"

There are so many twists and turns. Jiang Xia said in his heart, but smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry too much. We all have their own relationships, and it's inconsistent. In front of the second brother, I don't call Brother Zhang "Big Brother".

Zhang Yong was not a shy person. When he heard Jiang Xia say this, he nodded and said, "Okay, then follow what Brother Jiang said."

Zhang Yong took out a red post from his arms and handed it to Jiang Xia, saying, "Brother Jiang, Brother Yu will hold a treasure appraisal meeting in the villa at home at the end of next month. I hope Brother Jiang can come over and play together at that time."

"Treasure Appraisal Conference?" Jiang Xia took the post. Although she didn't know what the treasure appraisal conference was, Jiang Xia was secretly surprised when she heard Zhang Yong say that he had his own villa. She had guessed that Zhu Shou's family was rich, but she didn't expect that she was so rich that a servant actually had his own villa and could still afford the treasure appraisal conference.

Although he was surprised, Jiang Xia nodded on the surface and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for the invitation. I will definitely arrive at that time. However, Jiang Xia has no body, so he can't afford any gifts."

Jiang Xia suspected that Zhang Yong invited him to make money, so he first blocked this possibility with the sentence "Nothing is needed".

Zhang Yong smiled and waved his hand quickly: "Where do you need Brother Jiang to give me any big gift? As long as you can get someone, Zhang Yong will feel honored."

"Brother Zhang, you are kind." Seeing Zhang Yong so polite, Jiang Xia felt better towards him. He pointed to the downstairs and said, "Brother Zhang, the second child may have fallen asleep now. Why don't I arrange two girls for you and you can rest earlier?"

When Zhang Yong heard Jiang Xia say that he wanted to arrange two girls for him, Zhang Yong twitched his cheeks slightly. If this was the case for ordinary people, Zhang Yong would definitely be angry, but when he said it from Jiang Xia, Zhang Yong forced his anger to suppress the anger in his heart, and shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Yu thanks brother for being kind, but Brother Yu must protect the safety of his master, so Brother Yu appreciates his kindness."

Jiang Xia glanced at Zhang Yong, and in fact he could see that both of them were practicing, whether they were Zhang Yong or Liu Jing. Especially Liu Jing, his lower plate was very stable, his hands were covered with calluses, and he was definitely a person who worked hard on kung fu.

Jiang Xia yawned slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work, I'm going back to my room to rest."

"Okay." Zhang Yong nodded, and the two waved goodbye.

In the same late night, the lights in the study room of Li Mansion House were on and never turned off. Earlier, Cao Yuan specially asked someone to buy an invitation to enter Qunfang Pavilion at a high price. After watching Qunfang Pavilion's performance, Cao Yuan immediately came to Li Mansion House to report.

Cao Yuan told Li Dongyang everything he saw.

After listening to Cao Yuan’s report, Li Dongyang, who had always been calm, steady, and did not easily show his emotions, couldn’t help but throw his favorite purple gold jade teacup on the ground. Fortunately, the carpet was laid on the ground and did not break it.

"It is against morality and is extremely unfair to the customs. If this person is a great demon, it will cause great trouble if it is not removed."

After being silent for a long time, Li Dongyang said this sentence word by word. Every word spit out from Li Dongyang's mouth makes people feel as if they are more powerful and loud.

Li Dongyang raised his head and looked at Cao Yuan who had been sitting in the study. He said, "Cao Yuan, you will go to the Huishuntian Prefecture to inform the governor Wang of the Tongshima Prefecture tomorrow morning and tell him that Qunfang Pavilion must be closed within seven days. If it is not closed, he will wait to go to Shu next year to become an official."

"Yes!" Cao Yuan stood up and responded, then relaxed slightly and said, "Teacher, if there is nothing else, the student will say goodbye first."

Li Dongyang nodded and waved his hand and said, "Go."

Cao Yuan bowed and bowed to Li Dongyang, "The student left."

Li Dongyang nodded slightly, and Cao Yuan respectfully left Li Dongyang's room. After Cao Yuan closed the door of Li Dongyang's study, Li Dongyang sighed and said to himself: "When the country is about to perish, there will be a monster. Jiang Xia...Damn it!"

Morning. The sun shines on the earth, which indicates that today is a good day.

The girls from Qunfang Pavilion who have always been used to getting up late got up very early today because today is the day for Qunfang Pavilion celebration.

The girls and servants in Qunfang Pavilion all sell their bodies to Qunfang Pavilion. It is logical that everything they do is worth doing. They never thought that they would be rewarded after they do something.

In the hall of Qunfang Pavilion, nearly 400 people from the girls, servants, big teapots, Guigong and other Qunfang Pavilion were all staying in the hall. Jiang Xia and Kang Qingyan stood on the stage, with a large wooden board with a list of credits written on the wooden board, and the content below was covered with red paper.

Kang Qingyan has rarely been in charge recently, so at this celebration meeting, she simply said a few words that everyone did well, and then asked Jiang Xia to speak. Jiang Xia stood on the stage and said to everyone: "I think everything is false, and the first thing to do is to highlight."

Jiang Xia clapped his hands, and the four guards carried two large boxes to the stage. Jiang Xia nodded and signaled the guards to open the boxes. Once the boxes were opened, the two boxes were full of white silver.

"Wow..." Seeing so much silver, the people in Qunfang Pavilion couldn't help but exclaim. They had already begun to guess in their hearts whether part of the silver would be given to them as rewards.

Jiang Xia pointed to the list of credits and said: "In recent days, everyone has been working hard for those two catwalk shows, and everyone has worked hard. According to the contributions of everyone, I have formulated this list of credits and may not be completely fair, but I hope everyone can understand that there is no absolute fairness. I have tried my best to achieve relative fairness."

Jiang Xia revealed the lowest red paper on the list of credit, with name, position and bounty written on it.

Most people don’t recognize words, but they still know their names. Sister Ma, who is responsible for washing clothes for the girls, whispered in a low voice: “Ma Cuixiang…10…10 taels?”

Ma Cuixiang was not sure what that meant, but the vague guess in her heart made her feel excited and shivered slightly.

Jiang Xia recited at this moment: "I'll read it to everyone. Ma Cuixiang from the washing clothes department will give you ten taels of silver; Liu Xiuhua will give you ten taels of silver; Wang Dagu will give you ten taels of silver; Li Cuiyun..."

"Okay, the person who read the name should come on stage to get the money."

"Ten taels? Ten taels of silver?" The job of the laundry department is to help the girls wash clothes, or wash sheets and bedding. The monthly salary of these elder sisters is only 700 cents per month, and the longer the longer the salary is only 800 cents. Now, the reward of ten taels of silver is equivalent to their wages for more than a year.

The elder sisters went on stage in a daze. When Jiang Xia handed the silver to them with his own hands, several elder sisters were like dreams. When Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Sisters, you can step down after receiving the silver."

Several big men woke up like a dream. One of the elder sisters cried with a "wow" sound, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Xia, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, my old man's illness is saved... and he is saved..."

Jiang Xia was slightly stunned and asked, "What? Is uncle sick?"

Jiang Xia took out a ten taels of silver from his arms, and stuffed it into his elder sister's hand and said, "Sister, you are an employee of Qunfang Pavilion, that is, a member of Qunfang Pavilion. Your business is about Qunfang Pavilion. Why don't someone in the family say it earlier when they are sick? I'll give it a little money here privately. I'll visit the uncle with Brother Han later."
