Chapter 363: A Word to Awaken the Mid-Autumn Festival
Facing Xingqiu's meaningless laughter, Gu Sanqiu's expression did not even change. The two of them packed up and finally checked each other carefully, and only set off after confirming that everything was correct.
No matter how much they talked, these two people knew very well the purpose of this trip.
Gu Sanqiu believed Zhongli because he knew that the old man would not talk about such things casually.
Xingqiu believed in Gu Sanqiu and also believed in the value of the three words "Wangsheng Hall".
Having played with Gu Sanqiu since childhood, or rather, fooled around with him, and even opening up the classics that could be passed down to him without reservation, the Hall of Rebirth still held a very important place in his mind.
Since the place in question has been specifically mentioned, then there is a 90% chance that it is real.
Even if there isn't, isn't it okay to just think of it as a vacation for myself after I resolve the earth vein explosion?
What's wrong with the hero who worked hard to solve the problem watching a song and dance? Are the General Affairs Department and the eldest brother going to come and arrest him for this kind of thing?
Then the music, then the dance~
Jihai Tower, this is the name of the singing and dancing hall that Zhongli mentioned as "questionable", but nothing can be revealed from this point of view.
It mainly features songs and dances imported from foreign countries and has the support of Yunlaihai, so there is nothing wrong with the name.
"But there shouldn't be any idiot who would openly bring out the bad things he has done and then deliberately simplify it as a name."
Gu Sanqiu and Xingqiu lowered their hats as they approached Jihai Tower, looking like young men from wealthy families who had secretly entered the "adult world" without their families' knowledge.
Well, in a sense, it seems to be nothing wrong. These two people did come to this kind of place without telling their families. The difference is that only one of them is a young man from an aristocratic family, and the other is the head of a noble family.
The two men did not make a fuss, nor did they deliberately show off by asking for a luxury box. Those who could afford a luxury box in such a den of dissipation were all noble gods who deserved to be licked to death.
In other words, there is a certain degree of certainty about who is who. Doing so will not only fail to attract Ji Hai Lou's attention and lead you into the inner circle of business, but may also expose your intentions.
To sum up, just pretend to be an ordinary customer. Anyway, there are too many people coming here recently, and Gu Sanqiu really doesn't believe that the people behind this store can remember all of them.
If this could really be achieved, whether using clumsy methods of personnel deployment or directly detecting through mental power, the traces exposed would definitely be very obvious, and there was no reason why he and Xingqiu would not notice it.
"Well, excluding the promotional content, these songs and dances are indeed quite interesting."
Xingqiu was sipping tea and watching the dance, while Gu Sanqiu was picking up food and eating. In secret, his spiritual power had already quietly penetrated into many places.
As for whether he would see some weird content, he had no way to do anything about it and could only say sorry for prying into other people's privacy.
"Well, new-style songs and dances normally have a faster rhythm and don't require much thought, so they are indeed more attractive to young people. And what Liyue Harbor lacks the most is young people who come here to make money."
Xingqiu smiled and said, "Yes, the seats in the hall and the private rooms upstairs are clearly divided. Can this be considered a place that appeals to both the elite and the masses in the financial sense?"
"You are a novelist, but you use idioms so randomly."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Xingqiu: "Why, is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Well, I suddenly thought of what we did the past two days. It seems that the higher-ups have really made up their minds."
"Well, you are talking about reform, that's true, but I don't care why you worry about such things."
Xingqiu shrugged. "That's something we have to worry about. As a merchant family, if we can't keep up with the situation during the reform, it will be a big problem."
"How about you teach me some tips, or just give me some inside information?"
Gu Sanqiu was speechless: "Where did I get the inside information to give you? Tell me what you think first."
"Liyue should indeed change. This is what my family wants. However, how and to what extent it should change is something my family needs to consider."
Xingqiu sighed, then raised his teacup.
"There have been many bad things happening in Liyue Harbor over the years, and they have been turned into plays by many storytellers and opera masters like Mr. Yun. However, most people just treat these things as after-dinner entertainment, and few people really take them to heart."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "That's true. Before the bad things you said really happened to them, they would always say 'How pitiful, this is too terrible', nothing else."
"It's really difficult for my family to decide whether to protect ourselves or to join others in the reform movement."
Gu Sanqiu chuckled, then snatched the teacup from Xingqiu's hand and snapped his fingers with his other hand.
"Come on, give us a jar of good wine."
The waiter opened the bottle of wine and Gu Sanqiu poured Xingqiu a full glass.
"Afraid of the hammer, are these things difficult or something you need to consider?"
Xingqiu frowned: "If I don't consider it, who will? Even if we put aside the family business, for the sake of my family, thinking about these things is very important."
Gu Sanqiu raised his index finger: "Then I will teach you the simplest one."
Xingqiu's eyes lit up: "What trick?"
"Whatever happens , follow me."
Gu Sanqiu raised his glass with a smile: "Just follow me, right?"
Xingqiu was stunned for a moment, then he covered his forehead and laughed out loud, then happily picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Gu Sanqiu.
"That's right, cheers!"
Given the relationship between these two guys, is it possible that Gu Sanqiu would just ignore Xingqiu and let problems arise in their family?
They are brothers, good brothers who have been doing things together since childhood and have grown up together. This is enough.
Even if we take a step back, she is a Liyue incense worshipper, and her sister is the Seven Stars' Heavenly Authority. It must be more secure to hang out with such a person.
Xingqiu was drinking happily. In the past two days, many idiots came to his house to "discuss important matters", but they just wanted to find a few leaders, and then everyone would get together and prepare to use some other means to gain some improper benefits for themselves.
He was also quite annoyed, but for various reasons, he still had to be patient and play the game of intrigue with those guys.
But after talking to Gu Sanqiu today and hearing his guidance, Xingqiu finally understood.
Who cares about any weird alliances? Those guys who come to discuss business are so old that I don’t know how old they are. The future belongs to young people like them!
With the abilities of the two of them, it would be strange if they were overthrown by a bunch of short-sighted people who are only clever and only want benefits without wanting to pay!
"Hahaha, the young master is happy today, this is a reward for you!"
Xingqiu laughed and threw out a few scattered gems. The waiter next to him suddenly lit up his eyes. He walked over quickly, took the gems away, and then nodded and bowed to Xingqiu, almost praising him as one of the future seven stars.
After Xingqiu finished pretending, he sat back, picked up the jar of wine and poured a glass for Gu Sanqiu.
"Hehe, I've long wanted to do the kind of wanton giving of money in real life like in novels, but I didn't expect it to be so cool!"
