rebirth first official

The middle school classes were suspended, and Gao Zhanming was free, so he took Yinhe to the capital for a stroll, and took a look at his new businesses.

Liu Da was very effective in handling affairs, and after discussing the details with Gao Zhanming, he immediately changed the shop that was vacant and turned it into an arena.The female prostitute of Fenghua Building was released from the mansion by An Guogong. In order to thank Gao Zhanming, she came to his new hall for free to play Cuju for him.The new building has been open for three to five days, and it is just in time for the capital city to be very lively recently, so the new building is booming, and there are two streets of tourists who come here on the first day of opening.

When Gao Zhanming came outside the arena, he was naturally very happy to see that his new business was so hot.

Yinhe observed his expression, said: "Master, why don't we go in and have a seat."

Gao Zhanming said, "Alright."

The two walked into the arena, originally there was no place in the arena, but Yinhe quietly showed the token to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper learned that the person who came was the young master of the master, and it happened that another pair of guests left at this time, so the shopkeeper hurriedly arranged Gao Zhanming Take a seat upstairs with Yinhe.

This arena is remodeled from a restaurant, and it is built like a stage. The Cuju team competes on the first floor. The lobby on the first floor is bustling with people who have bought gambling tickets to enter the arena. The upstairs is a private seat. For the rich men, you can see the game below, the seat is more spacious and clean, and drinks and food are provided.

Gao Zhanming brought Yinhe into the private room, just sat down, looked up: Coincidentally, it was Li Jingruo and Su Yu who were sitting opposite.

Li Jingruo and Su Yu were also very surprised when they saw Gao Zhanming. Li Jingruo took the lead in raising the wine glass in his hand and made a gesture of toasting.

Gao Zhanming hurriedly stood up again, walked around to the box where Li Jingruo and Su Yu were, and saluted with them: "I didn't expect to meet Brother Li and Su Hanlin here, what a coincidence."

Li Jingruo stood up very enthusiastically as usual and greeted Gao Zhanming back. Although Su Yu was not as cold as last time, she was still not very enthusiastic, and said hello politely.

Gao Zhanming said: "I originally wanted to prepare a meeting gift for the two of you, but unfortunately the two meetings were very accidental and rushed, and there was no time to prepare. It is really impolite. Your expenses today will be charged to my account. I will be the host to invite the two of you." .”

Su Yu refused lukewarmly: "No need..."

As soon as Su Yu's refusal was spoken, Li Jingruo pressed his hand.Li Jingruo glanced downstairs, a male Cuju team and a Cuju team composed of female prostitutes were competing, and the female prostitutes' team was the girls from Fengyue Tower.Li Jingruo said with a smile: "This arena just opened in the past two days. I heard that the game is very fresh, so I invited the University of Su to watch it. This is the first time I have seen a man and a woman put together For the cuju competition, the rules have also been changed to be more complicated. Women’s cuju is better in stature, while men’s cuju is better in strength. Comparing the two is really interesting. I don’t know what kind of person is the owner of this arena. To come up with such an interesting idea, I really want to see him."

Gao Zhanming paused, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me, you two. I'm a junior, so I should invite you two."

Li Jingruo said: "This situation reminds me of the time when Brother Junliang invited us to compete in horse racing. Changing the rules can make the already flat game more interesting, the shopkeeper of this arena said. Maybe it was also inspired by Brother Li? It seems that doing business is also a big science. The same is true of being a person and doing things. I have benefited a lot from this trip to the capital."

Gao Zhanming smiled and said, "Brother Li is ridiculous."

This business is usually handled by the shopkeeper. Although Gao Zhanming is the master, he is not a merchant after all, and there is no need to take care of him for no reason.Li Jingruo first praised the owner of the arena, but now he admits it, it seems that he is putting gold on his face.

The three exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and Gao Zhanming said: "Su Hanlin, I have admired your poems and essays for a long time. If there is a chance someday, I would like to invite you to read my articles. It's the luck of my three lives."

Su Yu said lightly: "Definitely."

Gao Zhanming was very happy to get this promise, the three of them said a few more polite words, and Gao Zhanming went back to his private seat to watch Cuju.

The game downstairs was in full swing, and the guests holding gambling tickets cheered and cheered loudly, but a few people in the private seats upstairs were not thinking about the ball.

Li Jingruo said: "Brother Su, this Gao Zhanming is really interesting. I heard that this arena was originally rebuilt from a restaurant, and that restaurant is the property of Gao's family. This new arena is probably created by Gao Zhanming."

Su Yu squinted at him and said, "You seem to be very interested in him."

Li Jingruo smiled slightly, lifted Su Yu's chin with the folding fan in his hand, and said: "I am interested in anyone who has the ability, and I am also very interested in Brother Su, Brother Su must be jealous."

Su Yuan, annoyed by his frivolity, opened his fan.However, he is already aware of Li Jingruo's stink problem, this person is just a little slippery on the lips, in fact, his city is very deep, and he is definitely not as attached to mountains and rivers as he expresses.

Su Yu said softly: "I said, do you really plan to assist your brother for the rest of your life? You have no plan to become an official in the court?"

Li Jingruo raised his eyebrows, and smiled secretly: "Brother Su has a good way of seeing people, what do you think?"

At the same time, Gao Zhanming was also secretly observing the two people opposite him.

Yinhe said: "Master, why don't you watch the football, but always stare at Su Hanlin?"

Gao Zhanming said, "I'm not looking at Su Hanlin."

Yin He wondered: "Then Master is looking at that Mr. Li? He is really handsome, much better than Second Master, hehe, but he is not as good as you."

Gao Zhanming gave him a sideways glance, then rolled his eyes: "Look at your talent."

Yin He stuck out his tongue secretly, and said: "That Mr. Li is really strange. This is the first time I have seen a royal child like him. I heard that he doesn't even want the qualifications of the son, but he likes to be outside make a sightseeing tour."

Gao Zhanming said: "Indeed. As the old saying goes, a gentleman does not need to be a scholar, and he does not need to be a scholar. If he must be a gentleman, he will forget his body, and if he must not be a scholar, he will forget his lord. Shan Shui...he doesn't look like such an elegant person."

Yin He scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed smile: "My master's words are so profound that the slaves don't understand much."

On the other side, Li Jingruo asked Su Yu: "Su Hanlin, what do you think of the power in the court today?"

Su Yu squinted her eyes and remained silent.

Li Jingruo knew Su Yu's temperament in his heart, if he didn't speak up, he wouldn't confide half a word first.So he waved his folding fan to cover his mouth, and said with a sneer, "If you ask me, my elder brother is also a fool. His 25th birthday this year is not a birthday, but he specially invited Concubine Zhao's own father to the capital to see It’s time to give him a promotion. A few years ago he knew how to bear it, but in the past few years he couldn’t bear it any more. It’s foolish to try to promote the Zhao family, really, really foolish.”

This private room was originally prepared for rich children, it is spacious, there are barriers on both sides, and it is noisy outside, what he said, even Su Yu who is beside him can only hear it clearly, let alone be afraid of screaming. Others listen.

Su Yu's expression was very calm: "Mr. Li is really brave to say this." After a pause, he said, "The tall building will collapse, but it will not be a day and night." The tall building refers to the Gao family.

Li Jingruo snorted softly and said, "Brother Su, that's not necessarily the case. In my opinion, they still have a few years to live. However, the sun was shining in the sky, and it fell in a blink of an eye. Originally, it was not yet clear who would win the game, but the emperor was so impatient. The situation in this world has become clearer. I'm afraid, if it's urgent, it's not just..." Rizhao's photo refers to Concubine Zhao's Zhao family.When Li Jingruo said this, he hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the latter words back. Su Yu was startled: "Prince Yong of Xiangcheng, isn't he a relative of Zhao?"

"Oh?" Li Jingruo calmly smiled and said, "I still have to play this game. But Brother Su, what I told you before was not against my will or flattery, but what I said sincerely—— The system of the world will change sooner or later, just like the football game below, when the old rules are tired, new rules will emerge as the times require. The best ones make the rules, the second best ones follow the rules, and the last ones stubbornly resist , Stick to the rules. Since the establishment of the imperial examination system in the previous dynasty, those who entered the imperial examination as scholars are those who follow the rules, and those rich and famous families are the last ones. The burden of governing the country and the world will be handed over to you candidates sooner or later. "

Su Yu remained silent. After a long time, she raised her wine cup and lightly touched the glass in front of Li Jingruo: "I toast you."

On the other side, Yinhe whispered to Gao Zhanming: "However, my servant still advises you not to get too close to that Mr. Li. Although that Mr. Li doesn't meddle in government affairs very much, but this servant listens to others in the school. The companions of several masters said that it seems that King Yong of Xiangcheng has been in contact with the Zhao family in recent years. In order to avoid suspicion, the master should not deal with him."

Gao Zhanming frowned slightly.He has attended many banquets these days, and he has also seen the dignitaries of all parties, and he is more aware of the situation in court than before.The emperor has indeed promoted the Zhao family very much these years, and his intention to use the power of the Zhao family to suppress the Gao family has been clearly revealed.

Gao Zhanming has complicated emotions towards the Gao family.In fact, he doesn't like the Gao family very much, besides, the power and status of the Gao family is almost entirely supported by the Empress Dowager Gao and An Guogong. These two are already old, how many more years can they last?If the green smoke from the Gao family's ancestor's grave can rise for a while, the Gao family may last for ten or twenty years. If luck is not enough, it may only take a few years.

But his current identity is a child of the Gao family, which cannot be changed no matter what.Things are always reversed, the Gao family is now in such a powerful position, if one day they want to withdraw from the general trend of the world, they must not leave peacefully, I am afraid there will be a bloody disaster!As a child of the Gao family, how could he be spared?If he wants to protect himself, he can't let the Gao family suffer a disastrous defeat, but if he wants to support the huge frame of the Gao family, one is that he may not have the ability, and the other is that he is unwilling.He may still have a way to protect himself - that is to change the rules!

Gao Zhanming raised his wine glass and toasted Su Yu and Li Jingruo who were facing him from afar.

The three of them had different expressions, looked at each other and smiled, and drank the wine in their glasses one after another.
