Although Monday's new book list is still a hair short, at least the new history book ranks first. Come on! I will continue to ask for your support and collect the red tickets. I don't say anything to my sister, and the reward from the ambiguous good brother, Su Xiaoguan is here to bow and salute.

Teahouses, restaurants, singing houses, courtyards and other places where gossip spread throughout Luzhou City have been talking about one topic these days, and that is the recent installation of dozens of two-foot-high circular tiles in an open space in the bustling area of the City God Temple.
The wooden floor is surrounded by white curtains on the outside, and Zheng Huan, who is more than a dozen helpers inside, is tinkering with something unknown.
According to well-informed sources, the Luzhou Su family spent a lot of money to send the vendors on this open space home and borrow the place for twenty days; this was just the compensation for dozens of vendors on this open space.
It cost more than two hundred dollars.
The idle men risked being scolded by the Su family's servants and peeked inside the curtain, but they only saw helpers building a wooden platform halfway up the log, clinking and nailing the frame.
Know what you are doing.
Luzhou Mansion lives a leisurely life, and the people usually don't have much fun, so they talk about every new thing that happens. The Su family sets up a stage inside with such a big fanfare but mysteriously surrounded by curtains. Is it because they want to
Isn’t it okay to invite famous actors to sing during the Dragon Boat Festival?
But opera singing is not so mysterious. There are many big families in Luzhou who hire opera troupes to sing big operas, but none of them are as mysterious as the Su family.
What's more, after careful inquiries, they found that Su Ji Clothing Store in Dongcheng and Su Ji Garment Shop near Sanli River in Nancheng had hung up signs saying they would be closed for inspection, stating that they would reopen in ten days.
From the third day on, countdown signs were hung at the entrances of the Chenghuang Temple, Su Ji Clothing Store, and Su Ji Clothing Shop. As the ten-day period gradually approached, the numbers on the countdown signs gradually decreased, and people's curiosity also increased.
It was getting thicker and thicker. Seeing the young master of the Su family walking back and forth in the market every day with their maids and a bunch of boys, and how busy they were, the people of Luzhou were anxious to get a closer look.
On the eighth day, the top celebrities in the three famous brothels in Beicheng and the famous singers in the singing studio received an irresistible invitation from the Su family: no need to sell their skin and singing voice, no need to accompany the smiling faces among the patrons, Su
The family hired them for ten days at a salary of ten guan per day; the condition was that everything should be done according to the instructions of the young master of the Su family, and they were not allowed to say a word to outsiders.
Of course, the old bustard and the girls want it. Ten guans per day, and ten days equals a hundred guan. Even if they split the account in half, they can each get fifty guan in ten days. How many tall, short, fat, and thin people do they have to serve?
A favor, or a huge sum of money can only be obtained by singing a few songs.
Especially when the young master of the Su family gathered them together and explained the details that they should pay attention to, these people were dumbfounded. Isn't this young master of the Su family a fool? If he likes to give money to others, this is not the way to give it.
There is no need to do anything, just by doing this, you can earn ten coins every day, which is like money falling from the sky.
As for the young master's requirements such as positioning, appearance, and eye contact, it is not a problem for the girls who have been in love for a long time. However, the young master proposed that you are not allowed to laugh during certain aspects of the process, and you will be deducted a certain amount of money for each smile.
, but they are not allowed to cry sadly, but have to be expressionless. This makes them puzzled, but it is not difficult. This handsome young man will do whatever he says. Who calls people rich?
.
The ten days are coming in a blink of an eye. In these ten days, dozens of clerks and tailors at Suji Clothing Store and Garment Shop have lost a lot of weight. However, the young boss’s gentle words of comfort and the large amount of reward money showered down on him made him a little tired, but
But also very tired.
The Su family is divided into two factions. One faction believes that the Young Master's family is simply a prodigal. They spent nearly 600 guan in more than ten days with such careless activities. In addition, the loss of two shops closed down is at least nearly 700 guan. This is
The old people of the Su family in the Su family's Mihang, Youfang and other places who held this view went to Mrs. Wang one after another to ask Mrs. Wang to stop this senseless squandering of the young master's family; although Mrs. Wang could not understand what Su Jin was doing.
What kind of tricks are you playing? But this is the first time that my son is really busy with something. He can't just pour a ladle of cold water on it. After all, the Su family has a lot of money. Even if Su Jin is doing this, within a year and a half,
It's not that easy to lose all the family property, and besides, I had my word first, let Su Jin handle the house decoration this time, and I can't ignore what I said.
"Shopkeepers, please be at ease. My son is not stupid. He has his own reasons. You will wait and see and go back to run the shop. The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching and it is the peak business season. Don't be distracted by this matter." Mrs. Wang dismissed the shopkeepers without confidence;
The shopkeepers shook their heads helplessly and left with sighs. After all, they spent their own money. As an old man of the Su family, I could only remind him that I couldn't really interfere. I could only wait until the young master's family got into trouble, and then maybe his wife would be wise.
Sleep.
The other group of people who firmly support Su Jin are shopkeeper Zhang and the masters and shopkeepers of the cloth shop and ready-to-wear shop. These two shops are in a state of survival. If this continues, sooner or later, the fate of Zhang Daji will be closed.
Making a fuss about these two shops is actually saving their jobs; especially the return of old shopkeeper Zhang gave everyone stronger confidence, and the old shopkeeper's full support for Su Jin also set an example for everyone. Although everyone did not
I know whether these actions of the Shaodong family will work, but there will be no trouble if you follow the old shopkeeper. Even if you follow with your head covered, there will be no trouble. The reputation and vision accumulated by the old shopkeeper in the Su family in more than 20 years have never been the same.
Let them down.
Su Jin knew these things very well, and he was very aware of everyone's reactions. The only thing that surprised him was the reaction of the old shopkeeper Zhang. This old shopkeeper in his fifties could actually understand his ideas and give firm support.
He explained that these methods were correct, and they were the same in ancient and modern times, as well as in business. The old shopkeeper was well versed in the ways of doing business, and his approval gave Su Jin even more confidence.
On the morning of the second day of May, under the spotlight of everyone, the curtain set up by the Su family in the square in front of the Chenghuang Temple was about to open.
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, many people came to the Chenghuang Temple to burn incense. Madams and ladies from wealthy families came out to burn incense. Ordinary people would also come to burn incense during these days. Because of this, some rogue idlers on the street
The gangsters will also gather here. The more thoughtful ones fantasize about being favored by the lady and get some benefits, while the more practical ones will take the opportunity to rub and touch the ladies.
Or just steal a piece of shit.
Ordinary vendors take advantage of the period before the Dragon Boat Festival to make extra money. The square in front of the Chenghuang Temple has been bustling with activity since the sun rises. There are all kinds of rings, lottery tickets, sugar figures, wooden horses, diabolos, dough sculptures, etc.
At the end of the hour, a large number of more than a dozen mule carts arrived. One by one, the carts stopped in the enclosed open space behind the curtain. The graceful figures in the cart quickly got out of the car and got into the curtain.
.
A sharp-eyed idler opened his eyes and shouted: "Little Phoenix Fairy! Isn't that the Little Phoenix Fairy from Ming Yufang?"
"Where's it? Where's it?" A group of people crowded around with their necks stretched out like duck's necks, but they were all blocked back by the four big-bodied and round-waisted young men from the Su family at the door.
In the middle of the commotion, I heard two kicks flying into the sky and a cannon resounding through the sky. Everyone looked around in shock, but they saw two kicks inside the curtain continuously flying up into the air and making loud explosions. At the same time, two corners of the curtain in front
Several long bamboo poles coiled with small whips were stretched out, and the firecrackers were ignited one by one. The crackling fireworks rose, and the sound of firecrackers like exploding beans attracted the attention of all the people in front of the Chenghuang Temple.
The sound of firecrackers stopped for a quarter of an hour. As the smoke cleared, the sound of silk and bamboo music suddenly rose from the curtains. It seemed that it was really a big show. With the sound of silk and bamboo curling, the huge curtain in the front slowly opened.
, the color platform that the Su family had been tinkering with for ten days finally appeared in front of everyone.
I saw a wide wooden platform set up in the middle of the logs four feet high above the ground. The wooden platform was covered with a thick red carpet. Colorful ribbons were flying around the wooden platform, and red silk was rolled. Two hangings were hung on the pillars on both sides.
Vice couplet, written on the left: Buddha is dressed in gold, people are dressed in clothes, the world's eyes are snobbish; written on the right: only skin appearance, no bones, the common people are clothed in cloth. There is a horizontal scroll on the top, with several large characters in black letters on a red background: Su
Remember to make everyone shine.
Everyone saw that Monk Zhang Er was puzzled. The scholar in the crowd and the girls in the boudoir who knew some poetry seemed to understand a little, but not quite. So their interest was greatly increased, and they were looking forward to what would happen next.
The sound of firecrackers stopped, and the sound of silk and bamboo started again. After a melodious sound of the piano spread across the venue like flowing water, more than ten women in white curled out and danced to the music. Their waists were as thin as cotton, and their arms were as slim as willows.
Together, advance and then retreat.
The next moment, a singer in Tsing Yi appeared with her sleeves raised. After the silk music turned quiet, her voice began to sing, and the clear sound slightly picked up, instantly filling the entire audience. The literati and knowledgeable people who stopped in the audience naturally recognized that what she was singing was a song.
The song is "Bodhisattva Man" by Lu Tune, but it's still early to listen to that song, and I feel good when I wear my new shirt.
It's slightly cold when I wake up, and the plum blossoms on my temples are still there.
During the season, the breeze caressed the people in the morning light. Watching this graceful dance and listening to this heavenly singing in the comfortable air made people feel relaxed and happy.
After a song and dance, all the girls on the stage suddenly returned to the backstage, and there was no one on the stage. The people in the audience were stunned for a long time, and someone didn't know who shouted "Okay!" The people who woke up suddenly burst into applause.
