He was going crazy, but Yuan Huakui was still strong-minded and did not collapse. He still endured the embarrassment and stood in the bean shed. If it were any other woman, she would have been slapped in the face twice in a row, and she would have covered her face.
With a swollen face, he ran away crying.
Although Yuan Fengxiao has fallen into the dust, no matter what industry, as long as he can reach the top, he will have his own face. I don't want to be caught off guard today and continuously bring humiliation to myself. It is really unbearable.
Who can be blamed for this? The Art of War says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be able to fight a hundred battles. The fundamental reason for her loss of face was her fault for not fully understanding the opponent. If she had known about it in advance, Yuan Huakui would certainly not have lost face so much with his intelligence.
Now she can only grit her teeth secretly and stand here with strong energy. She secretly thought to herself, why does she always find unexpected things in Fang Yingwu every time she sees him?
The first time I saw him, I only knew that he could write a few good poems, and he should be a well-known talented man from a poor family in his place; the second time I saw him, I found that this man had actually become a noble prince, and he had created numerous records.
Suzhou's invincible opponent and his achievements in frontier fortresses; the third time I met him, I found that this man was too low-key. He was obviously a rich man, but he acted simple and shabby.
However, Yuan Huakui's strong performance made Fang Yingwu think highly of her. Although he still didn't know what she wanted to do, Fang Yingwu put away his casual attitude, took it a little seriously, and respected others.
Respect yourself.
In other words, such people are worth dealing with, at least their character is relatively reliable.
Again, the visitors were all guests, and they were guests who did not seem to have any hostility. Fang Yingwu did not want to embarrass the guests any more. He waved to Wang Lan and Wang Yu and ordered: "In front of the guests
Please forgive me for being rude, go back to your room and talk, and don’t get in the way here!"
Turning around, Fang Yingwu said to Yuan Fengxiao again: "Stop playing tricks, just tell the truth. What are you doing?" Yuan Huakui did not beat around the bush again this time and answered honestly: "I want to marry Fang."
Master, please cooperate."
Fang Yingwu smiled. Although he did not show arrogance, but...he asked: "Cooperation? To put it bluntly, the word cooperation means helping each other and getting what each needs.
You are already the leader of the flowers in Hangzhou, and you have nothing else to ask for, and with this status, you cannot ask for anything else. What else do you need from me to help you? Secondly, what can you help me with?"
"At the West Lake Gathering, everyone else was shocked and dazzled by Mr. Fang. In fact, only this concubine really understood it. Mr. Fang, you are really a smart man, and your actions are also very smart. You ask for a name. I am not talented, in Hangzhou
She also has a small reputation, does Mr. Fang think that this concubine can't help?"
Fang Yingwu asked with great interest: "What did you see?"
"I know, Mr. Fang, you are not seeking fame, but the benefits behind it. Mr. Fang has lofty ambitions, which lies in the temple. The so-called seeking fame is just to use the power of the hometown party to advance in the future when it is possible.
At the same level, how about turning the power of the rural party into your own and adding a boost to the future?"
Fang Yingwu was really surprised when he heard the answer! He never expected that a famous prostitute in a brothel could see through his true intentions.
Fang Yingwu knew that after the Ming Dynasty entered adulthood, party characteristics and regional characteristics gradually strengthened in the political situation. This was a major trend that could not be stopped by human resources.
At the same time, Zhejiang Province has always been a province that produces imperial examinations. It is also a province that produces officials. If you can become a leader of the younger generation in Zhejiang Province, even if it is just a symbolic reputation, you can gain so-called popularity. This is potential.
, which is of great benefit to the development of officialdom.
First, with a solid foundation, when it comes time to push for the top position, a group of township parties will help push them to the top. Whoever has the most potential and is the most popular will be most likely to be promoted by the township party.
Second, it has a unique advantage in public opinion, which is especially important in occasions such as court meetings. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will be an era where public opinion is often kidnapped. If you want to make progress, it will be very difficult if you do not have enough appeal.
Difficult to mix.
Fang Yingwu has never said these thoughts to anyone in detail. Even the best friends have some words that they cannot say. Of course, he does not think that these are his exclusive thoughts. The development of the times has its own consequences.
There must be many people who have internal rules and can grasp the trend keenly.
It would be understandable if someone like Liu Mianmian revealed his thoughts straight away. But in front of him was a courtesan who was supposed to be big-hearted and brainless. He was actually able to detect such a vague political conspiracy. It was really shocking to Fang Yingwu.
Feel incredible.
Fang Yingwu couldn't believe it and questioned: "How can you see this? Who told you?"
Yuan Huakui suddenly felt a little happy. Ever since entering this courtyard, Fang Daxiucai had been calm and calm as if he had everything under control, but she was extremely abnormal, almost like a clown. But now, something is finally different.
.
Then she replied with some complacency: "I have seen a lot of big shots like Mr. Fang, so I will naturally have some ideas.
Moreover, from the mouth of Mr. Shao Chen that you have met, I know that the Shao family has similar plans. The West Lake Poetry Society is strongly supported by the Shao family. What the Shao family wants is to promote Shao Chen's reputation.
If the imperial examination goes well, you can take your reputation to the next level; if the imperial examination does not go well, you can become a local celebrity, which also has many benefits.
And Mr. Fang, you are also a similar person, similar people will do similar things, and by their calculations and extrapolation to you, they can guess your thoughts."
Fang Yingwu secretly thought to himself, this Mr. Shao is really a man who has failed to achieve much. To outsiders, this kind of thing is really a sign of inadequacy and ingenuity.
As for whether Yuan Huakui has the ability to help herself, the answer is of course yes. In these days, there is no Internet, no movies, no books and newspapers, and the private publicity channels rely on word of mouth. The right to speak of a famous courtesan like the oiran should not be underestimated.
, even more powerful than ordinary celebrities.
For example, today, Yuan Fengxiao, who has always been self-proclaimed, actually took the initiative to wait for Fang Yingwu's door. I'm afraid it must have spread outside. No one else can replace this effect.
The only question now is, what does she want to do? Fang Yingwu asked: "I understand Madam Yuan's good intentions, but I don't know how to cooperate with you?"
Yuan Huakui sighed softly, and said with a sad look on his face: "My concubine's parents died when she was young, and she was homeless at the age of ten. She has suffered for many years, and it has been ten years now. Now she feels tired, but she has no choice but to do so.
A person can be entrusted with someone for the rest of his life, but he is afraid that if he is entrusted to someone else, he will not be able to have peace in the rest of his life..."
The more Fang Yingwu listened, the weirder she became. At first, she thought she was playing the sad card by returning to her old ways. But after hearing it, she realized that she wanted to escape from the world of romance, but she just didn't have a suitable husband.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but take a few steps back. Could it be that the oiran came to see her because he was handsome, talented, promising, rich and powerful?
Are you kidding me... this is reality, not a story. Even in the stories, the oiran ladies usually fall in love with poor and down-and-out scholars, and they are definitely not interested in someone as tall, rich and handsome as me.
Mrs. Yuan felt sorry for herself and lamented that her life was over. She lowered her head to wipe away the non-existent tears with her sleeves. When she raised her head again, she saw Fang Yingwu a few feet away and looking at her with a vigilant expression.
Yuan Huakui had been practicing for a long time, and his mind was very clear. He instantly understood what Fang Yingwu was thinking. He couldn't help but burst out laughing, and his flowers were trembling for a while. "Master Fang, please don't worry, I'm looking for a concubine from my husband's family."
, there are several conditions, and Mr. Fang doesn’t meet any of them.”
Fang Yingwu, who was arrogant and arrogant, was very unconvinced. Even the prime minister's family had hinted at him about recruiting a son-in-law. Is there any woman in the world that he could not meet?
Yuan Huakui's eyes flashed with laughter, her cheeks turned red, and she finally suppressed her smile and explained: "I want Mr. Fang to know that a concubine does not seek status in her husband's family and is willing to be a concubine, but there are a few rules.
First, the age of the husband’s family should be between thirty and forty, and the maximum cannot be more than forty-five, and the minimum cannot be less than thirty-five; second, the husband’s status should be an official, but the rank should not be too low, preferably fourth grade or above;
Those with stable and mellow character should not be too fond of taking risks or being pushy. If you can satisfy two of them, the other one can be appropriately relaxed."
Fang Yingwu was speechless. He really didn't fit any of the criteria. He also understood that Mrs. Yuan was tired of the world and longed for a peaceful life in the future. She didn't want to experience any more ups and downs, and she didn't want to know what would happen tomorrow.
So what she is looking for is a middle-aged man who has a successful career, a good life, a stable temperament, a social status, and can protect himself from wind and rain. Moreover, if such a middle-aged man marries a young and beautiful celebrity concubine like her, he will usually dote on her.
Very, very unlikely to change your mind easily.
In contrast, young people have uncertain futures, unfinished careers, unstable temperaments, and often like the new and dislike the old. They are indeed not the ideal husband's family in Yuan Huakui's mind. She is not in the frame of mind to go through the troubles with her peers.
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but ask: "If you want to find your husband's family, what does it have to do with me?"
Yuan Huakui thought of something and pursed his lips again and smiled, "The only places that meet the conditions in Hangzhou are from the governor's office, the chief envoy's office, the inspection envoy's office, each of which is responsible for patrolling and guarding the roads. These are the big government offices in Hangzhou Prefecture.
You are a relative and junior of Futai, an official in the province of Xinjiang. Who in the officialdom will not sell your face? If there is someone suitable, how about you help me talk about it? It is not easy to entrust this matter to others, but Mr. Fang is a suitable candidate.
.”
Fang Yingwu was speechless again. She went around in circles for a long time. This was the purpose of daring to be affectionate. She almost allowed herself to be sentimental and become the protagonist of the words of a talented man and a beautiful woman.
The reason why a story is a story is because it does not often appear in reality, and in reality, the most common choice is the most realistic choice.
But he has never done anything like pimping a media outlet...
