Chapter 143 Everything is changing
Wei Changtian actually gave serious consideration to how to use Chu Xianping.
His first thought was to find an opportunity to promote Chu Xianping, and then slowly take over the Shuzhou branch of Xuan Jing Si.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately decided not to do so.
The reason is simple.
Because Chen Bo, at least on the surface, has obeyed his orders now. If Chu Xianping is forced to take the position at this time, it is very likely to cause dissatisfaction or even resistance from Chen Bo and his group of "old men".
They may not dare to do anything openly, but there is a high probability that they will secretly trip you up.
Wei Changtian only needs an obedient Xuan Jingsi and does not necessarily have to control it completely, so there is no need to take the risk.
In this case, Freemasonry is the best place for Chu Xianping.
Zhang San is just an executor and cannot plan things on his own.
But Chu Xianping is different. If he takes over the development of Freemasonry in Shuzhou, it is estimated that it will not take long before the scale of Freemasonry's "Shuzhou Branch" will exceed that of the "Headquarters" in the capital.
Of course, the premise is that everything said in the original book is true.
The next day, Wei Changtian met Chu Xianping again at the "Zuixiaolou".
He seemed the same as before, yet a little different.
This difference is not reflected in appearance, but more like a change in temperament from the inside out.
First he was betrayed by his lover, and then he killed him with his own hands. It would be strange if there was no change.
However, Chu Xianping hid this change very well. Except for Wei Changtian, who knew the inside story, no one else should have noticed that he was different.
There were still two pots of wine, a plate of peanuts and a plate of braised beef on the table.
The waiter was still chattering on and on about the "newly opened brothel", and Chu Xianping smiled and handed him twenty copper coins as usual.
"Brother Chu."
"Master Wei."
This was the first time Wei Changtian met Chu Xianping since that night at Guo’s house.
The two looked at each other without saying much nonsense, and soon started drinking.
According to previous lives, smoking and drinking are the fastest ways to build friendships between men.
There is no cigarette or distilled liquor at the moment.
But these pots of Bamboo Leaf Green Tea, a specialty of Shuzhou, are enough.
The two started out using cups, then bowls, and later on they were too lazy to even pour the water and simply blew into the spout of the kettle.
The empty wine jugs soon filled up the table, and it was not until then that Wei Changtian began to feel something.
"Brother Chu, you said before that you are willing to serve me at my side. Do you still mean it?"
"Of course it counts."
"Then I want you to do something for me."
"Sir, please feel free to speak."
"good."
Wei Changtian glanced at Chu Xianping, who was also not drunk at all, and told him about the Freemasonry in a few words.
Chu Xianping was not surprised after hearing this, he just smiled and said: "Sir, this is not just one thing."
Wei Changtian also smiled: "Just tell me if you are willing to help me."
"I have already answered you, sir."
“Hahaha, okay!”
I have to say, it’s a pleasure to communicate with smart people. There’s basically no need to talk nonsense or explain things over and over again.
Wei Changtian happily drank another pot of wine, and then suddenly asked thoughtfully a question he had asked here last time.
"Brother Chu, do you want to go to that newly opened brothel with me today?"
“.”
Chu Xianping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and gave an answer that was completely opposite to the last time.
"good."
Two hours later, Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping came out of "Manchunyuan" together, and then went their separate ways and went home.
By the way, this was Wei Changtian's first visit to the land of willows and mist since he came to Shuzhou.
People say that southern women are beautiful and charming, but in fact, the experience is not much different from that in Beijing.
Different paths lead to the same destination.
However, although Wei Changtian did not have any special feelings, the girls in Manchunyuan started talking about it after they left.
Because apart from being generous, the two young gentlemen were different from other men in other aspects.
One of them was so "persistent" that the three sisters took turns to beat her for more than an hour.
The other one was a bit funny. He spent money but didn't take off his clothes. He just sat at the table and drank tea for an hour, which made the girl who served him very depressed.
"This is the first time I've seen a man like this. He's like a piece of wood!"
"I didn't respond when I talked to him, I didn't listen when he played the piano, and I didn't even look at me when I sat on his lap!"
"If I hadn't grabbed a handful of him, I would have thought he was a eunuch!"
The above is the original words of a girl named Xiu'er. Her little face was full of anger when she said this.
A sister nearby joked, "That's not bad. They've given you a lot of money. You can just relax and have some free time."
"Well, that's true."
The girl named Xiu'er wrinkled her nose and muttered softly:
“But I just feel that person is weird.”
In the following days, Wei Changtian did not go out for a while, but "hosted" the "wedding" of Zhang San and Li Suyue at home.
Although it’s called a wedding, the whole process was actually as simple as it could be.
Zhang San's parents had been dead for many years and he had no relatives or friends in Shuzhou.
Li Suyue's parents had just passed away a few years ago. Although there were still a few relatives who would occasionally visit, perhaps out of consideration for Zhang San's face, none of them were invited.
So in the end, they just set up a banquet at home, and familiar faces like Yuan'er and Liang Qin were sitting there.
But even though there were few people, it was still quite festive.
Even Liang Zhen took time out to join in the fun, and when he left he left a silver note for two hundred taels, saying it was a gift for Zhang San.
Wei Changtian was originally prepared to give a few hundred taels as a token of his appreciation, but Zhang San and Li Suyue refused to accept it, so he finally gave up.
After worshipping heaven and earth, eating wedding wine, and entering the bridal chamber. The next day, when the red cloth lanterns and other things were removed, everything seemed to have returned to its original state, but there were also many insignificant changes.
For example, Li Suyue no longer called Wei Changtian "Young Master", but "Master" instead; for example, Wang Ran changed his last name to Zhang Ran;
For example, Zhang San changed from being on call 24 hours a day to working on time, and would sleep in the house next door at night;
For example, Ah Chun would occasionally wonder why Aunt Su Yue, who was not a practitioner, could practice dual cultivation with Uncle Zhang San. Both philosophy and science tell us that everything in the world is changing all the time, except for change.
Some of these changes may be just like what Zhang San and Li Suyue are experiencing now, slow and subtle.
But some are so sudden and drastic that in just a moment, they can lead a person, a family, or even a dynasty to a different future.
The five-day period has expired.
At midnight, Ning Yuke, with the help of several Freemasons, quietly slipped out of Prince Shun's Mansion and soon disappeared into the dark night.
