Chapter 642 Do you know what marketing is?
Get up in the morning.
"Lang Jun!"
The concubine beside her raised her head and smiled coquettishly, but a lump of eye feces at the corner of her eyes ruined the beauty.
"Go down!"
Qiao Sheng pointed outside.
The maid was stunned, thinking that if she hooked up again in the morning, she might be able to conceive, and then she would jump on the branch and become a baby girl... The monthly money will be increased by ten times, and there will be a maid by her side...
Qiao Sheng's expression was numb, and the maid quickly got up.
“咘…”
Qiao Sheng clutched his stomach.
The maid quickly got a horse, then rolled up her clothes and ran out.
Experienced a lot of depression early in the morning, which made Qiao Sheng's mood worse.
During breakfast, Erniang Qian suddenly covered her mouth and smiled when she saw that his face was not looking good.
Qiao Sheng didn't look up.
Laughing alone can be embarrassing.
Qian Erniang laughed dryly: "Husband, I heard that Jia Ping'an called all the prostitutes in the city to go to Qujiang Pond tomorrow!"
"Affair!"
Qiao Sheng said coldly: "What is he trying to do?"
The steward outside the door went out quietly and didn't come back until noon.
"Lang Jun, Jia Ping'an only said it was for a while."
"Interesting!" Qiao Sheng put down the account book in his hand and walked out.
"What has he prepared?"
The steward followed behind and said: "The steward of Jia's family, Du He, went to Dongshi, and found a businessman to rent a table. Chang'an cafeteria is making some snacks..."
"The rental case is almost inevitable, what is dim sum?"
Qiao Sheng had a sullen face, "Does Jia Ping'an and Lu Guogong have a promising business?"
The steward said: "The man from the Liang family just listened to what he said was good business, which made people feel refreshed... He said that General Liang stayed up half the night, and the bed kept ringing."
Qiao Sheng raised his head, his eyes were full of greed, "It can make a man full of energy, and he can also stretch the bed. This is the supreme treasure. No wonder Jia Ping'an invited three old men to sit in charge, otherwise those people would tear him apart. he."
The steward licked his lips, wondering what it was that could have such a miraculous effect.
Li Zhi in the palace also heard about this, and just smiled.
"Wang Zhongliang!"
"The servant is here."
Wang Zhongliang stepped forward, Li Zhi took a look, "Why are you blushing?"
Is it red? Wang Zhongliang touched his face, "The servant girl has been refreshed these days."
"Huh!"
Li Zhi has been staying up all night for the past few days, and Wang Zhongliang has been following him. It stands to reason that Wang Zhongliang shouldn't be in high spirits!
"By the way, the servant girl has feverish hands and feet these days."
Li Zhi suddenly thought of that wine.
Could it be the effect of alcohol?
This magical drink...
"Go to the Queen's side and ask if the drink is still available."
Wang Zhongliang was taken aback, "Your Majesty, what drink?"
Li Zhi glanced to the side.
That's where I often kneel.
Wang Zhongliang turned around and ran away.
When he arrived at the queen, he asked, "Queen, is there any more wine, Your Majesty?"
"What drink?"
Wu Mei instantly thought of the wine Jia Ping'an gave her.
"Who does the emperor want to poison?"
Wang Zhongliang's face turned even redder.
The last time Wu Mei kindly gave wine, but Wang Zhongliang poured a big bowl of wine, blood sprayed from his nostrils, and he mistakenly thought it was poisonous, which made Jia Pingan very embarrassed.
Now I turn around and ask again, this is slapping myself in the face!
Wu Mei said indifferently: "Ping'an said that pregnant women should not drink it, and sick people should not drink it... Tell Your Majesty, his illness is not cured yet!"
Wang Zhongliang went back in despair.
"Shreme!"
The emperor's voice was loud.
Then someone went to report to the queen.
"The shrew is good."
Wu Mei is reading the memorial.
Zhou Shanxiang was puzzled, so he asked Shao Peng after he left.
Shao Peng sighed.
sighed for a long time...
Zhou Shanxiang frowned, "Pretend!"
Shaopeng glanced at her, and his heart trembled, "The empress wants to assist His Majesty in handling the government affairs, how can she be weak?"
Zhou Shanxiang pouted slightly, and Shao Peng's heart thumped.
The old man is over!
"But why is it so fierce to His Majesty?"
That's the emperor!
Shao Peng coughed dryly, "The handling of the government is too powerful, if the queen is cautious..."
Zhou Shanxiang was taken aback, "That's a big picture. No wonder the queen is becoming more casual now, more casual..."
The more casual you are, the more at ease the emperor will be.
On the contrary, the more cautious and thorough you are, the easier it is to be suspicious.
Zhou Shanxiang shook his head, "The queen is really powerful."
"you…"
Shaopeng looked at her and wanted to say that you are stronger.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Zhou Shanxiang said angrily: "I'm not on duty for you, don't even think about it."
Back to his place at night, Shaopeng went out to fetch water.
"Shao Zhongguan is taking a bath?"
"yes!"
"Shao Zhongguan takes a bath every day, and he really likes to be clean."
In the residence, a ladle of water poured down from the head.
Wow!
"hot!"
…
When the time came, Jia Pingan asked for leave and was surrounded by people to go to Qujiang Pond.
"Brother, why is there no Hu girl?"
Li Jingye felt that Jia Ping'an was discriminating against those employed in foreign vassals.
"They don't understand."
Jia Ping'an's mouth was smiling, as if constipated, more like Mona Lisa.
Arrived at Qujiang Pond...
"Lang Jun."
Du He has led people to make arrangements for a long time.
"It's all ready."
"A lot of people." Li Yuanying shook his head subconsciously.
"Famous prostitutes are gathering!" Yuchi Xunyu said excitedly, "Everyone in Chang'an City who has nothing to do is probably here."
Today's Qujiang Pond is full of gongs and drums, flags are flying, and there are huge crowds of people...
"Meet Wuyanghou!"
Jia Pingan smiled and nodded.
Greeting all the way, Jia Pingan arrived at the core area.
A narrow stream of water meanders by, and many desks are placed on both sides.
"The whores haven't come yet?"
Li Yuanying was disappointed.
"They want to stay behind."
"Fire!"
A large stove and a large clay pot were set up next to it.
There are more than a hundred cups on the table next to it.
And the snacks made by Chang'an canteen are placed everywhere.
"Xiao Jia!"
Goyang and Xincheng are here.
Gao Yang has always been puzzled why Jia Pingan made such a big noise, but it did not prevent her from watching the fun.
Xincheng said weakly: "Is Xiao Jia trying to gain a reputation as a romantic?"
I don't have a feast, just a pure party.
"Princess joked, I'm not flirtatious."
The wind is not dirty, a little green among thousands of flowers.
Gao Yang said in a low voice: "You can't find a reason today, be careful that someone impeaches you."
hehe!
Jia Pingan didn't care about this at all.
"Peach Blossom Lady is here."
The person in front stepped aside, and a woman came over accompanied by several maids.
"Meet Wuyanghou."
Peach blossoms raised their heads, and their cheeks were pink, which really lived up to the name of peach blossoms.
Jia Pingan nodded.
Huh!
Shouldn't you take the opportunity to get close to the beauty?
Everyone saw Jia Pingan nod his head slightly, with a reserved gesture.
"Xiangyun is here."
"Meet Wuyanghou."
Qiao Sheng also came.
Hearing about such a grand event, most of the rich and idle people in Chang'an City came.
Wang Qi also came with his men.
"What is he trying to do?"
Zhou Xing was puzzled.
"Look, that prostitute went to shake the hand of Marquis Wuyang!"
"Mother, if I can touch her little hand, Yeye is willing to lose one year of life."
"You're so **** beautiful!"
Wang Qi said indifferently: "What is he going to use this for... Qiao Sheng is also here."
Wang Qi squeezed past with people.
"I heard that Jia Ping'an rejected your meddling in his business?"
Wang Qi's bright red lips moved slightly, Qiao Sheng's eyes were cold, "When doing business, coming and going is common."
"Your business has grown bigger and bigger over the years." Wang Qi used to be in charge of the power in the dark, and had dealt with Qiao Sheng.
Qiao Sheng said flatly: "It's just a living."
Wang Qi smiled, "That business... I heard that there was a commotion in the palace, saying it was poisonous or not."
Qiao Sheng's eyes lit up, "Go back and drink."
Wang Qi nodded, "It's easy to say."
This is the friendship.
Qiao Sheng took a look at Chen Erniang, "This woman is plump, but is it your confinement?"
Wang Qi's lips turned redder, and his eyes were bloodshot, and he nodded.
"Not bad." Qiao Sheng smiled, "A batch of good beard girls just came from Anxi, and I'll invite you to enjoy it later."
Wang Qi was silent.
"Minghui is here."
Jia Ping'an was a little embarrassed.
How did brother know so many famous prostitutes?
As she spoke, she raised her head boldly, her eyes full of charm.
hehe!
My waist is not doing well recently.
Jia Pingan nodded.
Li Yuanying was swallowing, "Sir, if you gather these famous prostitutes together...how refreshing!"
Cool your sister!
Jia Pingan felt that this product would hit the street sooner or later.
"The winter solstice is here!"
The arrival of the winter solstice made Qujiang Pond boil.
"Sir, the winter solstice is now the best song and dance in Chang'an, and poetry writing is unrivaled in brothels. Many people spend a lot of money and can't meet each other, sir..."
Li Yuanying's eyes were burning, and he seemed to be a big fan of Winter Solstice, "If sir can invite her to have a drink together, I will give him another house in the royal city."
"Star chasing must be restrained!"
In later generations, those star-chasers and crazy demons will no longer have family members, study and work, and the whole world will only have that illusory but lofty star in their eyes.
"winter solstice!"
Both sides are fanatical fans. Jia Pingan thought back to the later concerts and felt that it was nothing more than that.
We meet again after a long time, and the winter solstice has changed a lot.
The water snake's waist moved slowly, but with just a twist, the men around couldn't help gasping.
Light makeup, Moo calmly, looking up at people, just smiling...
"Peach Blossom Eyes!"
"winter solstice!"
A man rushed over and was kicked away.
Winter Zhi nodded and walked slowly.
She looked at Jia Pingan, and the surrounding gradually became quiet.
"After parting that day, I thought that there was no possibility of seeing each other again, so I practiced singing and dancing hard, and learned to compose poems..."
Jia Ping'an didn't expect such perseverance in the winter solstice, "It's good to hear that you are now the best in Chang'an."
Winter Solstice smiled, charming...
Li Yuanying swallowed behind him.
Li Jingye remained the same.
"Without the Marquis of Wuyang, slaves would not be where they are today."
Winter Solstice's peach blossom eyes are still charming even if you don't smile.
"I heard that the Marquis of Wuyang is gathering here today, and I choreographed a dance to make Marquis Wuyang smile."
This woman is smart, and Jia Ping'an feels at ease with such flattery.
"The winter solstice is about to dance!"
Everyone didn't expect to see the Winter Solstice dance here, and the cheers were endless.
"Winter solstice dancing outside?"
Qiao Sheng couldn't help laughing, "It's interesting that this woman has something to do with Jia Ping'an."
Dancing has never been just an art of the body. When the winter solstice peach blossom eyes looked at Jia Pingan, even Gao Yang was not calm.
"This woman...is a strong enemy!"
Xincheng covered his mouth and chuckled, "Xiao Jia is handsome, talented, and has a bright future. Which woman doesn't like a man like this? But he never used affection in brothels, and this makes women fall in love..."
Gao Yang proudly said: "Xiao Jia is just like that."
At this time, someone said in surprise: "There are more than a hundred famous prostitutes!"
Gao Yang suddenly stood up and glanced at both sides.
At the moment, there are people sitting behind those tables, so it's easy to count.
Xincheng also saw it, and couldn't help covering his mouth in surprise, "In Chang'an, these famous prostitutes can go out together...Except for the government, it is probably Xiao Jia."
A woman behind him sighed: "People say that the Marquis of Wuyang is a literary genius, and I can't deceive you!"
Even Chen Erniang couldn't help but be amazed.
"It's just frivolity."
Zhou Xing's eyes were full of jealousy.
Since the last informant, that Mr. Zheng has a better impression of him, and he will smile when he meets him.
Chen Erniang said: "You say he is frivolous, but he never stays in brothels..."
Zhou Xing turned around, "You really adore him!"
What did I say in my heart?
No, how could I speak for Jia Pingan.
Chen Erniang panicked, and said anxiously: "If you don't understand him, how can you deal with him?"
My wife is too wise.
Zhou Xing looked at her and said for a long time, "You're not right!"
"roll!"
Chen Erniang sneered: "You're not right, you like to inquire about news recently... What do you want to do?"
Zhou Xing sneered.
Jia Ping'an's side is ready to start.
"Lang Jun, everything is ready."
Du He had this rare opportunity to show off in front of others, with his head held high and his face flushed.
The water in the big clay pot has boiled.
There is a small pot on the side.
Jia Pingan clapped his hands.
A maid came forward, and someone brought a desk with a Guzheng on it.
Su waved his hand.
The sound of the piano rose slowly.
Everyone couldn't help but quiet down.
Then many voices can be heard.
The sound of flowing water, the sound of wind, and the sound of wind blowing branches and leaves.
Everyone couldn't help squinting to feel the rare silence.
Xincheng put his hand into the water, and the coolness hit him, refreshing.
She tilted her head and glanced at Master Jia, seeing his calm appearance, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Gao Yang, do you think Xiao Jia looks like a fairy?"
Gao Yang took a look, "It's a bit similar. But..."
Xincheng shook the water off his hands, "But what?"
But I knew it was a fake when I saw it. Once it was changed to another place, Xiao Jia would be very fierce.
Gao Yang covered his mouth and smiled lightly.
Then two men lifted the jar down, and two maids stepped forward, one of them opened a jar with great care, and took out some scattered and fine things from it, and put some in each water glass.
Those water cups are simple in appearance, but light in color inside.
The water cups were delivered to those courtesans. Just after the winter solstice dance, there was slight sweat on his forehead, and he smiled, "What is this?"
Two big men came with jugs.
Two maids followed, starting from the first table...
Rinse with water, close the lid and wash it.
Immediately poured out the remaining water, the prostitute was surprised, "It smells so fragrant!"
The maid flushes the water again, the tea leaves dance in the cup, and the tea water gradually changes color.
"Please wait and enjoy."
Du He was so busy today that he was so tired that he beat his waist and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, why don't you soak it here before sending it away?"
It's too troublesome to do this one by one.
Mace!
"You have to know what these people like." Jia Ping'an is like a magic stick, extremely confident, "They think about rituals, and they have to have a sense of rituals in everything they do. And the process of making tea... put the tea in, brew it, Then wash the tea and pour it out, then pour water to brew it...the guzheng is swaying, the breeze is blowing..."
Those whores are drunk before they drink.
"If you want to promote tea, the first thing is to build momentum. Today there are many famous prostitutes..."
…
Wang Qi frowned, "What is he trying to do?"
Zhou Xing stroked his beard, "Is he trying to curry favor with those whores?"
Qiao Sheng's complexion changed slightly, "He just launched a new business."
"Business?"
At this time, someone came over with a plate, "Please try it."
Qiao Sheng's guard went to get a cup.
Qiao Sheng took a sip, closed his eyes and felt carefully.
"Slightly bitter, hey! It's actually sweet...a strong fragrance..."
Wang Qi also had a drink, "That's it."
Qiao Sheng took another sip, "This is... this is tea soup!"
He opened his eyes, "This is tea! He actually made the tea taste like this."
Zhou Xing wondered, "Tea leaves can only be boiled for drinking, and cannot be swallowed without seasoning."
"He is..." Qiao Sheng took another sip, "The taste becomes more mellow the more you drink it."
Is Jia Ping'an going to get rich?
Wang Qi smiled and said confidently: "It's hard to sell this thing!"
Qiao Sheng raised his eyes, "Today he invited famous courtesans from Chang'an to gather in Qujiang Pond. This is a move that can cause a sensation in the world. As soon as the tea is served... If the famous courtesans are full of praise, Chang'an City will become popular in the future... Good method! What a Jia Pingan!"
His eyes were full of shock, "He could think of using such means to make tea widely known... this..."
At this moment, Qiao Sheng regretted it all.
…
Gao Yang and Xin Cheng sat there, and two cups of hot tea were served.
“This is our business.”
Jia Ping'an smiled very calmly.
"This is it?"
Gao Yang took a sip and frowned, "Bitter!"
This silly woman has no interest at all.
But thinking of Gao Yang’s frequent search for caves with him, Jia Ping’an felt that this evaluation was unfair.
Xincheng took a sip and frowned, "Huh! It's quite elegant. If you have a drink in your free time, you will feel refreshed."
She raised her head, "Xiao Jia, how did you come up with the idea of making the tea leaves like this?"
"I think of it at random."
Isn’t that how the future generations drink?
The famous prostitutes had already drank the tea at this moment, and the winter solstice said in surprise: "The fragrance is bursting, first bitter and then sweet, full of aftertaste... Marquis Wuyang, what is this?"
"Sure enough, it is fragrant!"
All the famous prostitutes were full of praise, and some even asked: "Is there any sale?"
These are not short of money. Some people even patted the table and said, "Give me a catty!"
"I'm sorry my lady, just wait."
"I have no money!"
"No need!"
"No need?"
Master Jia works...
A few maids came with bamboo baskets.
The bamboo basket is simple and simple, with small cans stacked inside.
"Lady."
A small pot of tea is served.
There are a few bamboos painted on the outside of the jar, which is faint.
Just this one thing makes people feel good.
Open the jar, and a scent of tea comes out.
Elegant!
Full of force!
This is the first batch of customers in Chang'an City.
The sense of honor of being the first to take the lead!
Those whores blessed themselves, "Thank you Marquis Wuyang!"
Businessmen of later generations invite reporters to brag for themselves, and the transportation expenses cannot be escaped.
It doesn't cost a penny to hire people to advertise, and I also get thanks by the way... The key is that these famous prostitutes are so famous in Chang'an City, they can be called top traffic.
Whoring for nothing!
Still earning thanks!
Jia Pingan glanced at Qiao Sheng.
"Do you know what marketing is?"
