Chapter 88 Getting Involved in a Storm, Fighting and Losing Money
Ever since Gu Heng sang the new song "Beginning the Immortal", Gu Heng's eyebrow building has once again been crowded with people, and the threshold has almost been stepped on!
But there were also troubles that came with it, that was, there were too many talented people coming to visit, but Gu Heng could only see so many.
In order to compete for tickets to enter the Meilou, although the self-proclaimed elegant scholars would argue with each other, fortunately, most of them would not fight and there would be no safety incidents. However, there are always "exceptions" in the world.
One evening, the gorgeous rays of light illuminated the clouds in the sky even more dazzlingly, reflecting in the Qinhuai River filled with fragrant mist, rippling with microwaves, as if the sky was shaking.
Gu Heng's maid Xiaocui opened the door of the attic where Gu Hengbo lived in Meilou as usual, and screened the master's favorite among the many guests in the hall of Meilou.
There is a gentle and elegant man dressed like a scholar, wearing ink-colored clothes, a square scarf on his head, and a charming appearance. This man is a genius at first sight!
There is a young master in moon-white luxurious clothes with a handsome face. He is holding a folding paper fan with orchids in his hand. When he stands there, he looks like an orchid and a jade tree!
There are also young men who wear clothes made of brocade that are brighter than the colorful clouds, but behave in a dissolute manner.
There is also a businessman with a big belly, but holding a folding Nishikawa paper fan.
There was even an old man who looked aloof and solemn, looking like someone who had once held an official position in the officialdom.
Occasionally, there will be a man wearing a second-hand fancy dress bought from somewhere. It doesn't fit very well, but he still wears it swaggeringly, and his behavior is full of obscenity.
The maid Xiaocui had been with Gu Heng for many years and had already developed a sharp eye for recognizing people. She chose a gentle and elegant young man with a beautiful tree and a big pocket, and asked him to follow her upstairs.
Normally, after the candidate for discussing poetry, painting, and playing the piano with Gu Heng has been decided, the other guests will keep their manners, leave the show, or find other girls in Meilou to accompany them.
But today, there was a vulgar man who did not understand the rules, but was dressed in extremely luxurious clothes, and wore gold and jade all around his neck and waist. He took out a few gold ingots, and then shouted: "I am going upstairs today.
Go and look after Hengbo, I have money, please take me there quickly!"
Seeing this, the young master who was selected made a bow to the rude person and advised: "This master, you must be new here and don't know the rules of Meilou. According to the rules, after Miss Xiaocui chooses one person, the others
Either choose another girl to accompany you, continue to talk about poetry and songs, drink and have fun, or leave Meilou and meet Mrs. Hengbo again in the future!"
"I don't care about these broken rules. When I come to this brothel, I just want to spend money to buy happiness! I only know that money can make people go around. What's the matter, when I get to this brothel, it's not easy to use it?" No.
The person who knows the rules is very arrogant and authentic.
The young master still had an elegant look on his face and said: "This master, the people who come and go in Meilou are all people who are rich in poetry and calligraphy. It is precisely because they are familiar with the way of a gentleman and understand how to show love and cherish jade that they can get someone like Mrs. Hengbo."
You are favored by such a talented and beautiful woman who is rare in the world. I hope that this young master who is rich in gold and jade will choose a woman that suits you and have a romantic relationship with her!"
The young master's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, because the young master's words not only helped this ignorant man to recognize his identity, but also mocked this wealthy man who did not understand the rules for being a nouveau riche and not understanding the style.
Unexpectedly, although this person who did not understand the rules did not fully understand what the young master said, when he saw everyone laughing, he knew that they must be cursing people without using curse words. He was so angry that he punched him and hit him.
The young man staggered.
One was a rich young man who read poetry and books, and the other was a vulgar upstart who appeared out of nowhere. The two of them fought each other and rolled to the ground. You punched me and I punched you. Everyone wanted to stop the fight.
When they saw the fierce look in their eyes, they couldn't listen to everyone's good words and advice, so everyone had to give up the fight to avoid hurting innocent people.
When Gu Heng learned the news and walked downstairs with an angry look on his face, he found that the two fighting men had messy hair, bruised noses and swollen faces, and panda eyes. The most important thing is that during the fight, the two men had lost control of the Meilou Hall.
Several expensive vases were accidentally broken!
And the young man looked even worse. He was completely lost in his grace and demeanor. His fine clothes were torn into several pieces, and he could be said to be in rags! Those who didn’t know better thought he was a beggar who came to visit Meilou.
!
Gu Heng simply stared at it, and thought to himself: You people, don't you always talk about benevolence, justice, morality, and the words of a gentleman without taking action? Why did you perform a full martial arts show in your Meilou today? You also took my things.
It’s all smashed! No! Everyone has to pay for it!
Then Gu Heng said: "You two gentlemen, what is the matter that you can't talk about properly, but you have to take action? Isn't this insulting to gentlemen and ungentlemanly?"
"Besides, you two broke two expensive vases in the hall of my eyebrow building. What should I do?" Gu Hengpi said with a smile.
When other guests watching the theater saw Gu Heng talking, some of them who like to speak out directly said: "Yes, it is wrong to fight on other people's business grounds. If you damage other people's things, you have to pay for it!"
"Yes, pay for it!" Others agreed.
The two of them were embarrassed to be criticized by everyone, so they quickly took out the money, and then asked Gu Heng: "How much do these two vases cost?"
"Not much, a vase costs one hundred taels of silver. You two can each pay for a vase!" Gu Heng forced out a smile that looked sincere.
"So expensive? Gu, why don't you go grab the money! What else are you doing in the brothel business?" This person who didn't understand the rules said very unconvinced.
"Young master, you don't know something. This is blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen, so it is extremely valuable!" Gu Heng explained in a leisurely manner.
Seeing that the man who didn't understand the rules still looked a little unbelievable, a bystander hurried to the place where the vase was broken, carefully picked up one of the fragments, came to the person who didn't understand the rules and said, "Look at this fragment.
Blue and white, the color is rich and lustrous, with reddish and purple in the blue, blue and black spots can be seen in the thick parts, and the bottom is sunken into the bone. It is undoubtedly blue and white porcelain!"
Everyone also nodded in agreement. The person who didn't understand the rules saw no reason not to pay, so he had to take out ten taels of gold unhappily, handed it to Gu Henghou and said, "These ten taels of gold can be worth one of yours."
It’s a vase!”
Gu Heng took the gold, weighed it, and found that the weight was still enough for ten taels, so he replied: "No more, no less, just enough to exchange for one hundred taels of silver. Thank you young master."
But when the young master saw that this person who didn't understand the rules had lost money, he quickly took out ten taels of gold and said: "Mrs. Hengbo, I have offended you many times before, but I still hope Haihan!
Gu Heng took the gold and said, "Thank you very much, sir. You'd better go home, change your clothes, and go see the doctor!"
"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Hengbo. I'll take my leave now and see you again another day!"
The young man lamented that what happened today was extremely unlucky. He didn't get a beautiful girl from a brothel but was beaten first! What unlucky! So he ran away in disgrace.
As for a man who doesn't understand the rules, if he sees that everyone who quarreled and fought with him has left, he will only be asking for trouble if he stays here. Maybe others will treat him as gossip and ask questions, so he should run away as soon as possible.
!
So the man who didn't understand the rules secretly left when no one was paying attention!
After this happened, Gu Heng had no intention of receiving any more guests tonight, so he motioned to his maid Xiaocui to close the door, and simply stayed out of sight and out of mind.
Gu Heng was speechless. The people he usually met were all gentle and elegant scholars. When had he ever seen such a rogue-like businessman causing trouble in Meilou? Fortunately, Gu Heng no longer met guests alone on this day.
All the guests who came here were turned away.
