In the afternoon, Cai Jianwen and Wenyuan came to the mansion together and brought in an incredible news that Mao Geng felt. The news was that Sanyuanlou promised to sell and give away four beautiful maids half-sold. These four beautiful maids were all fourteen or five years old. Regardless of musical instruments and dances, they all represented the good acting level of Sanyuanlou. According to the market conditions, each of the four beauties should be worth at least 1,200 guan, but Sanyuanlou only had two thousand guan, which was really unbelievable.

However, Sanyuanlou also put forward a condition, that is, Sanyuanlou needs to obtain the lyrics and music of "Yu Meiren" and "Canghai Xiao", and that if Mao Geng Wenyuan innovates another new song, don't forget Sanyuanlou.

Wen Yuan didn't even think deeply, so he agreed immediately, because he no longer needed to go to Sanyuanlou to show his bad luck. He just had to hand over the lyrics of the music score to Sanyuanlou, and at most he gave some advice. But after agreeing, Wen Yuan felt that there might be more wonderful songs in Mao Geng, and was afraid that his cousin would blame him for forgetting his meaning when he saw the color, so he was nervous, as if he had done something wrong.

Fortunately, Cai Jianwen came back with Wenyuan all the way, which made Wenyuan feel much more at ease.

Mao Geng felt that Sanyuanlou had a long-term vision. If they did this, if they really had any new work, they would naturally negotiate conditions with Sanyuanlou first. People in the fun were indeed unique in their thinking and grasping people's psychology.

In this way, there were six beautiful maids in the mansion, which looked at least pleasing to the eye.

Mao Geng and Cai Jianwen were kind-hearted, not only let Wen Yuan fulfill the request of Sanyuanlou very happily, but also agreed to give a new song in the past two days. Mao Geng would only sing a few Song lyrics in his previous life, but Li Qingzhao's song "A Clip of Plum - Red Lotus Fragrance and Jade Mask Autumn" would hum. Mao Geng was preparing to hum and interact with the beautiful maids with talented skills, and maybe they could compose the song. When Mao Geng thought of this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Cai Jianwen left with the scores of two songs with satisfaction. He only had Shen Weibing in his heart. When he thought of the beauty's happy look at the score, Cai Jianwen couldn't help but smile on his own.

－－－－－－－

In the evening, Mao Geng and Wen Yuan came to the gate of Zhou Bida's prime minister's mansion in sedan chair. After getting off the sedan chair, a servant led the two into the prime minister's mansion.

Before coming here, Mao Geng explained to Wen Yuan that he would speak less and listen more tonight, because too much words would lead to mistakes and he would not be able to give him a handle.

I thought they had arrived the first, but Lu You, Ye Shi and Yang Wanli had arrived long ago. They hurriedly apologized. Zhou Bida laughed and said:

"The two young talents faced the officials in the palace that day, and their words and demeanors were very calm. Why did they become restrained when they arrived at me? Come on, please sit down! Look at the tea!"

After the two sat down, Zhou Bida pointed at Lu You, and Yang Wanli smiled and said:

"They are my friends of poetry, but they both do better than me in poetry. Ye Shi, and they do well in poetry. Unfortunately, You Mao was sick and Fan Chengda returned to Shihu. Otherwise, the four great poets gathered together and my mansion would be full of glory."

Lu You, Yang Wanli, Fan Chengda, and You Mao were also known as the "Four Great Poets of Zhongxing", and Mao Geng naturally knew it.

Lu You smiled and said:

"It's a pity that I'm old! I'm writing poems slower than before, but now I'm reluctant, I always have to write a song to make fun of it. Alas! Seeing two young talents, the waves of the Yangtze River push the waves of the previous waves, I feel that the younger generation is terrifying. It is said that the officials like to listen to Brother Mao's "Smile in the Sea". Today, it's better to ask Brother Mao to sing a song "Smile in the Sea" for us!"

Zhou Bi laughed:

"I have heard of this. How about it? Brother Mao, let's sing a song for us today!"

Mao Geng didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing as soon as he came up, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"In this way, Xiaoke will be ugly, but Xiaoke must have Wenyuan play the piano."

After Mao Geng said this, someone immediately brought a piano. As long as Wen Yuan didn't sing it himself, the piano was still very good, but his performance was far less than Chen Liang. Mao Geng had some experience in singing this song "Smile in the Sea". Thinking of the people in the Southern Song Dynasty, they were involuntarily in their hearts and minds, and they wanted to laugh and be proud of the storm, and there was a faint voice of anger in the song. Hearing the ears of the poems and essays here, there was an indescribable sense of pride and desolation. When the song ended, they even started to cheer together.

After finishing the performance of Mao Geng and Wen Yuan, they became humble and immediately returned to their taciturn expressions. As long as they didn’t ask about themselves, they would just be the audience and not speak much.

Zhou Bida saw that the two of them were a little dull, and of course they could guess their thoughts. Although some people in the court told Mao Geng and Wenyuan, Zhou Bida was a person who cherished talents very much, especially Mao Geng's talents. Zhou Bida could also behave like Mao Geng. Although Mao Geng's origin was a little unclear, he did not look like a person with bad intentions. Moreover, from Mao Geng's strategy of attacking Taiwan, it was enough to reflect Mao Geng's concern. Zhou Bida invited Mao Geng to visit the mansion, so he had the intention to respond to Mao Geng. He was worried that Mao Geng could not bear the pressure in the court, so he tried to comfort Mao Geng.

Zhou Bida said immediately:

"Today I arrived at my husband's house, and I happened to have Weng brought some good wine, serve wine, and serve food. Today, no matter how old or young you have to drink a few glasses of him."

When Yang Wanli saw that he wanted to drink, he was worried about the time when the golden man bought the watch. He was afraid that it would be delayed because of drinking, so he immediately said:

"Sir, yesterday the Jin Envoy told Xiaguan that he wanted to buy the watch. Today, Mao Geng is here. Before drinking, Xiaguan still needs to have a settlement."

After hearing Yang Wanli's words, Lu You felt very angry and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"The Jin people took my annual monies from the Song Dynasty and bought my Song Dynasty things again. When I think of this, I feel uneasy!"

When Mao Geng heard Lu You's words, he thought that this was really the true nature of an angry young man. If he had changed before yesterday, he would have to instill in Lu You with "hiding his strength and raising his lowliness". But now his situation is not good, and the important thing is that he has kept his lowliness, so he did not respond.

Zhou Bida saw Mao Geng's appearance when he thought that after hearing what Lu You said, Mao Geng was resistant to selling the timetable to the golden man. This would not work, so he said:

"I almost forgot about this. Brother Mao, if Jinren wants to buy a watch, I will sell it to them. I think it's okay."

When Mao Geng saw Zhou Bida's statement, he thought that he was planning his politics in his position, and the prime minister should put the overall situation first. Unlike Lu You who could illuminate the fire, he nodded and said:

"I don't know how many time watches the gold man wants to buy. If it's just forty or fifty time watches, it will arrive in a dozen days. But there are too many people buying time watches. Since the gold man wants to buy it, just come out of this batch of time watches. If there are too many, I'm afraid I'll have to spend some more days."

Yang Wanli had already heard of the intimidating things. Now, seeing Mao Geng’s statement, he was grateful and said:

"The golden man wants to buy eighty units, so I will sell them forty units in the first batch. Since these forty units are uniform from other people's goods, it is appropriate to increase the price. If Brother Mao feels that the price will be increased, I will tell the golden man."

Everyone here also thinks that it is natural for Yang Wanli to fight for Mao Geng to gain benefits, and Lu You even thinks that it is also a big increase in the local price by 30% or 40%. Zhou Bidaze thinks that the price of the matter involves the face between Song and Jin dynasties. The price of the price of 10% is reasonable, but it is inappropriate if it increases too much.

Mao Geng changed his mind and said, "You don't know that the price of exports in the future is much lower than that of domestic sales." Don't you want to drag down the Jin people through economic means! Not only can't curb the Jin people's imports to the Song Dynasty, but you also need great encouragement. Once the deficit becomes large enough, the Jin people's economy will have problems, and then political and military problems will have problems. This is called defeating others without fighting. Of course, these words cannot be said, and Mao Geng had to change the statement:

"If this matter does not make Lord Yang embarrassed, it should be based on the original price of 388 guan."

Everyone here thinks that Mao Geng is not taking the opportunity to raise prices, which is kind-hearted, and Lu You is a bit over Mao Geng. However, Lu You is very sorry for Mao Geng's romance in the legend. Today, Mao Geng and Wen Yuan sing and playing, which invisibly strengthens this rumor. Originally, Wen Yuan played a female voice in Jincuilou that day, some people thought that something was strange, and then the matter became more and more mysterious. But Mao Geng and Wen Yuan bought a huge mansion, and were rich, but they didn't even have a concubine in the mansion, so why don't you doubt it! It is rumored in the market that Mao Wen and the two had a habit of breaking sleeves, and Long Yang's favour seemed to be true, only Mao Geng and Wen Yuan didn't know. In fact, Lu You asked Wen Yuan to leave the "Great Song Jing News" not because the court attacked Mao Geng, but because Mao Wen and the other two felt that Mao Wen really had a habit of breaking sleeves. In order to avoid the injustice of the Song Dynasty's educational position, Wen Yuan left.

The timely statement was successfully resolved, so the banquet began.

Today's wine was brought by Lu You, but it was a new high-quality liquor that was released after distilling alcohol. After Mao Geng tasted it, he felt that it was about 40 degrees. He didn't know how much these old men drank this kind of spirits in this era.

The liquor was indeed extremely lethal. Soon Mao Geng discovered that Mr. Lu You's face turned red, and then Yang Wanli began to talk a lot. Yang Wanli talked about the Golden Man again:

"These golden men want to buy cement. Humph! How can they do what they want!"

Mao Geng drank a few glasses of wine and was a little dizzy at this moment. When he heard that Yang Wanli was so backward, he couldn't help but complain:

"Mr. Yang, if the Jin people want to buy cement, then sell it to them. The more Jin people buy things from the Song Dynasty, they will be not far from the end."

Lu You reminded:

"Brother Mao, aren't you drunk too much? Cement is a good thing for building a city. If the Jin people get this cement, wouldn't they have to build the city solid? In this way, it would be a little more difficult for my Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty!"

Mao Geng's alcohol also came up, and he forgot all the taboos and said openly:

"You guy dares to say that ten years later, the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition, even if the Jin people built the city as solid as a rock, they would not be able to attack the Song Dynasty. Anyway, now if they should sell the time watch, they should sell the time watch, and if they should sell the cement, they will sell the cement, which is not a problem!"

After hearing this, Lao Huai Dachang said happily after drinking a sip of wine:

"Brother Mao said this nicely, but unfortunately he was overstated, but I like it!"

Mao Geng felt that he could kill the Jin Kingdom in ten years. Not only the Jin Kingdom, but also Mongolia would kill it in the cradle! Mao Geng was full of passion after drinking and said nonsense:

"Maybe it takes ten years, or maybe it takes only eight years to unify the Central Plains."

Mao Geng's words were not as good as keeping a low profile! It was extremely arrogant to Lu You. But Lu You dreamed of the Northern Central Plains, of course he only hoped that this was true.

Ye Shi was quite sober. He was a pragmatic person. He only regarded Mao Geng's crazy words as crazy words after drinking, so he made fun of him:

"Does Brother Mao also understand the art of military affairs? The Jin soldiers are not so easy to deal with. In my opinion, it is not too late to conquer Taiwan first, and then the later Northern Expedition."

Mao Geng's brain was a little uncontrollable at this time, and he responded after hearing this:
Chapter completed!
