Chapter 131: Lecture Room for Butlers! (Part 1)
Jiang Chengfeng was too lazy to argue with Zhu Kewei. For Ah Hui's sake, he gave Ye Lingshuang some face and said with a smile, "Since Miss Ye has said so! Then I will write a beautiful article about a colorful phoenix!"
Zhu Kewei glanced at Jiang Chengfeng and snorted slightly, but Ye Lingshuang didn't see it.
Ye Lingshuang looked at Jiang Chengfeng deeply, her beautiful eyes brightened. She had looked down on this humble servant in the past, always thinking that he was a big profiteer. The four couplets in Yipinxuan must have been copied from other places. She didn't expect that he really had some skills.
Shen Ruoyan was also very surprised, and said proudly: "Jiang Dazhu, don't be rude! The people here are all famous talents in Huayang City!"
She said so, but she couldn't hide the proud and gratified smile on her face. She used to be a member of Huayang Poetry Society, but because of her business, she couldn't really integrate into the circle of these second-generation officials. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was because the social status of businessmen in this era was low. Now that Jiang Dazhu has earned face for the Shen family, how can she not be happy?
In fact, to Jiang Dazhui, all couplets are nonsense. What he is most satisfied with is the previous sentence "huge cannons bombard the sky continuously", and this is also his dream, with girls on both sides and "huge cannons" bombarding every day, hehe!
Nodding to Jiang Chengfeng with a smile, Ye Lingshuang walked forward again, holding Shen Ruoyan's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Shen, you were also a frequent visitor to this poetry club before! But since you took charge of the Shen family's business, you rarely come again! So today, on behalf of all the sisters, I will punish you to write a poem! By the way, the sisters heard that you brought perfume today, everyone is waiting to see it! "
This Miss Ye is both a carrot and a stick, and she even has some skills!
In fact, Shen Ruoyan is also a well-known talented woman in Huayang, but she has been busy with business in recent years and rarely composes poems. After hearing what Ye Lingshuang said, she did not refuse and smiled and said, "Since Miss Ye said so, Ruoyan dares not obey your order?"
After a brief pause, Shen Ruoyan recited softly: "Drinking at night is boring and hard to sleep, the cold wind blows through the phoenix trees and crows on the branches. Who can I tell my heavy worries to? Only the fading candle and the crescent moon know!"
Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but grin. He didn't expect that Miss Shen could actually recite poetry. And from the sound of it, although the style wasn't quite to his liking, the poem itself was still very good.
Realizing that Jiang Chengfeng was staring at her and laughing, Shen Ruoyan's pretty face turned red. She glared at him and lowered her head.
When Ye Lingshuang joined the poetry club, Shen Ruoyan had been in charge of the Shen family for more than half a year, so the two had almost no interactions. Today, when she heard Shen Ruoyan reciting poetry, she couldn't help but admire her a little and said with a smile: "Sister, you are very talented, I admire you very much! If you don't mind, I am willing to become sisters with you!"
Shen Ruoyan didn't have many friends, and seeing that Ye Lingshuang had a cheerful personality, she also had a good impression of her. She smiled and said, "Miss Ye, you are joking, but it is a good thing to be a sister to Miss Ye!"
"How can I be absent?" Seeing this, Fang Xinyuan also came forward with a smile, holding one of them with each hand, and said, "Two sisters, I admire you very much! Count me in as well!"
Shen Ruoyan was quite generous. She smiled and nodded, then waved to Jiang Chengfeng, who handed her a small package.
Shen Ruoyan took out a bottle of rose perfume and gave it to Fang Xinyuan, saying with a smile: "Ms. Xinyuan, this is rose perfume! It represents passion and enthusiasm, and it suits you very well!"
Fang Xinyuan took the perfume, opened it impatiently and took a deep breath, her face full of intoxication, and said with a smile: "I always heard sisters talking about perfume before, and I always wanted to buy a bottle, but because there were too few, I could never buy it!"
Shen Ruoyan gave Ye Lingshuang another bottle of orchid scent, "This orchid has a calm and , just right for you!"
Ye Lingshuang took the perfume, opened it and took a sip, and said happily: "It is indeed elegant and fragrant, fragrant but not greasy! I like it very much!"
Having said that, he glanced at Jiang Chengfeng, not knowing what he wanted to say.
Only a few people knew that Jiang Chengfeng had the secret formula for perfume. Last time, he was kidnapped by the Red Fairy Cult because of this secret formula. But Ye Lingshuang seemed to know something.
Jiang Chengfeng was slightly stunned, but then he understood. He thought it was Ah Hui who told Ye Lingshuang. They were best friends, so it was very likely that she told Ye Lingshuang.
Seeing the young lady giving away two bottles of perfume so easily, Jiang Chengfeng felt a pang of pain. This was two hundred taels of silver! Ah Hui worked hard all day at Yipinxuan, and only earned this little money!
Of course, it hurts, but in Shen Ruoyan's words, this is called necessary public relations expenses and must be spent!
Seeing these girls chattering endlessly, Zhu Kewei, the most talented man in Huayang, felt that his presence was too low. In order to show off in front of Ye Lingshuang, he smiled and interrupted and invited: "Miss Ye, let's go inside and talk!"
Fang Xinyuan also clapped her hands to show her agreement.
Then, several girls lifted their skirts and climbed the stairs. Zhu Kewei and Yu Rong followed behind the three girls, and only Jiang Chengfeng walked at the back carrying a bag. However, this guy didn't like chatting with those so-called talented men and women, and he was happy to walk alone in the back.
When Jiang Chengfeng arrived at the main hall of the so-called poetry club, he was stunned. He saw that there were 20 to 30 young ladies in this exquisitely decorated, spacious and luxurious main hall. Just by looking at their attire, it was obvious that they were the second generation of officials. The huge main hall was bustling with beautiful women.
These young ladies were all members of the poetry club. When they saw Zhu Kewei and Yu Rong, they all stood up to greet them. Some of them were bold enough to flirt with them directly, causing Jiang Chengfeng behind them to shudder.
As the leader of the poetry club, Ye Lingshuang greeted everyone with a smile after she came in, and then stood on the high platform in front and said loudly: "Dear sisters——"
Her voice was not loud, but it was very appealing. The rich girls who were still chatting below suddenly quieted down.
"Today, our poetry club has two themes for its gathering! The first theme is to invite Mr. Zhu Kewei, who has just returned from his travels, to talk about his experience of traveling around the world!"
After Ye Lingshuang stepped down from the stage, Zhu Kewei walked up to her with a smile and said, "First of all, thank you Miss Ye for your kindness! Kewei is just a scholar in common clothes. I follow my teacher's teachings and understand the saying that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Therefore, I traveled to various places..."
Afterwards, this guy proudly recounted his travel experiences, saying that he went to Huangshan Mountain in the west, Mount Tai in the north, Wuyi Mountain in the south, and Chongming Island in the east.
