Chapter 2: The Battle Sticker of 'Remembering Jiangnan'
To say that the wind and moon boundary of Hangzhou, everyone in Hangzhou City knows, the "Four Seasons Fang" of Zhong'an Bridge, the "Xichun Building" of Qingleng Bridge and the "Sanyuan Building" of Sanqiao Street are called "Hangzhou Third Floor".
On the third floor, there is a large and small Oiran in charge. Bai Xiaoxiao of Four Seasons Square, Zhu Baobao of Xichun Building, and Dou Saisai of Sanyuan Building are also called "Hangzhou Sanyan".
Regardless of their appearance, they have their own expertise.
Bai Xiaoxiao is good at stroking the piano and singing, her piano voice can rank among the top three in the entire dynasty wind and moon world, and her voice is tactful and charming, full of the feeling of a Jiangnan woman who is as gentle as water.
Zhu Baobao's calligraphy and painting are a must, and her lady drawings and landscape paintings can be among the ranks of calligraphy and painting.
And Dou Saisai is good at dancing, especially water sleeve dance and sword dance, which can be described as a combination of rigidity and softness.
The third floor has a number of small Oiran, it can be said that the third floor of Hangzhou supports most of the sky of the entire Hangzhou Fengyue world, not only popular all over Hangzhou, famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even in a prosperous place like Bianjing, many people have heard of the resounding name of the third floor and the reputation of Sanyan.
Imagine that the world's romantic people don't think about it, such as Bai Xiaoxiao stroking the piano and singing by his side, Zhu Baobao splashing ink and watching Dou Saisai dance, it is really a great pleasure and a beautiful thing, and the joy of life should be like this?
'Yi Jiangnan' is a relatively large painting boat, which came to Hangzhou a month ago, who is its owner? Where does the girl in the boat come from? What's the trick? Nobody knows. The boat suddenly appeared in front of everyone as if it had come out of the ground.
"Yi Jiangnan" in half a month ago under the post, invite the leader on the third floor of the "Four Seasons Fang" to friendly exchanges, in fact, everyone knows that the Tao of the road, this exchange is good to say is to learn, to say bad is the challenge, if you want to make a name in the Hangzhou Fengyue world, the challenge to the third floor is indeed the fastest and most effective way.
Of course, the boss of the "Four Seasons Fang" is by no means a simple person, he received the invitation, so he invited the rest of the bosses on the second floor to come to the meeting, saying that "Yi Jiangnan" since he dared to challenge alone, he must have come prepared, not to be underestimated, if they accidentally won it, not only the name of the Four Seasons Fang was dusty, but the rest of the second floor had no face, after all, the third floor was weighed, and the lips were cold.
Besides, this memory Jiangnan has dealt with the Four Seasons Fang, and then it will definitely deal with the rest of the second floor, rather than being broken by each of them, why don't we join forces with the outside world? It sounded a little reasonable, so the rest of the second-floor bosses agreed to this request after a little consideration.
'Yi Jiangnan' was not surprised to learn that 'Four Seasons Fang' invited the rest of the second floor Er Yan to help him, and he didn't object, but he just hoped to work together to draw up a list of distinguished guests to participate in the event.
This time, only seven distinguished guests were invited to judge, and only seven posts were issued, in order to avoid interference from idle people, Yi Jiangnan proposed to exchange skills on their painting boat. 'Four Seasons Square' can only come to ten people at most, which means that this competition, and other idlers can't watch it at all, please post that money can't buy it.
But the business-minded person, after obtaining the consent of 'Yi Jiangnan' and paying a sum of money, actually hired a few large and small painting boats to float and park ten meters around the boat in Yi Jiangnan, isn't it impossible to watch? Let's listen to it. And according to the location, started the charging business. And there are really people who pay to buy a position, and they also make the boss make a fortune.
There are also good people who say that if you can't go up to "Remember Jiangnan", then you can hire a boat cheaply and go to the neighborhood to listen, why do you have to ask for the consent of "Remembering Jiangnan"?
Everyone, you really don't underestimate "Yi Jiangnan", they discussed with the government, on the day of the competition, it is strictly forbidden to stop boats in the Fengyu Gate area, not to mention getting on the boat and rowing close to Yi Jiangnan, 50 meters away from "Yi Jiangnan", the government has sent patrol boats to patrol non-stop.
Even if there is a boat with the consent of Yi Jiangnan, it has been reported to the government, and it must be inspected before boarding. You say, even if you listen, who can go casually?
Someone asked again, it's just a competition in the Fengyue Realm, why is the government so nervous and vigilant? And send additional officers and soldiers to guard it?
You don't understand this, right, the competition in the Fengyue world is a trivial matter, but the invited guests are all very promising, either the prince or the official, which one should not be protected?
Even if they are poor, there are no officials and no kings, they are all among the richest businessmen in the city, but they are inextricably linked with the government and the court, which one has no backers in the court? Even if they don't have a backer, the taxes they pay to the court for a year alone are worth protecting!
Therefore, under the heavy secrecy and vigilance, the curiosity of the officials, old and young masters in the city has increased, and people who want to listen to it are flocking, and the price of listening to the ticket is unexpectedly high for a while.
There is a prince in Hangzhou City, who is a member of the royal family, and his title is "King Yue", and he can be divided into Hangzhou, the land of fish and rice, a rich land, which shows that the origin of this prince is not small.
As the uncle of the official family of the dynasty and the younger brother of the first emperor, Zhao Yuanjie's identity can be described as noble. And his fief is the former Wuyue King Qian Hong's territory, the Qianjiang River on the Liuhe Pagoda legend was built by the order of this Wuyue King.
Now this King Yue is different from other princes, he has a good temperament and is good at business, so in addition to leading the court's large sums of money, the business he secretly supports is also booming, and he can be regarded as a rich and noble prince, so he calls himself the prince of leisure.
This time, "Remembering Jiangnan" and "Four Seasons Fang" competed in skills, and the main judge was our free prince, who was able to invite this nobleman, it seems that the master's face is really not small.
The rest of the judges invited officials such as Liangzhelu Transit History, Liangzhelu Tiju, and Hangzhou Zhizhou, all of whom were senior officials in Liangzhejiang and Hangzhou.
In addition, the wealthy businessmen in the two Zhejiang areas were also invited, such as the head of the Yin Ji Silk Village mentioned earlier, and the shopkeeper of Di Cui Zhai, who sold antique jade, and Zhao Luan, a talented man in Zhejiang, and Fan Kuan, a painter, a total of seven people.
Just looking at the huge judging lineup, you can imagine the difficulty of the competition at that time, and it will be really difficult for the girls to win if they don't have real skills and extraordinary skills.
Not long after Yin Ershao, the first to come, the loud voice of the little guy outside came into the hall again, "Mr. Fan Kuan is here~~Please~~", this is the second guest of honor to arrive.
Speaking of Fan Kuan, we can't fail to mention this 50-year-old spirited old gentleman, he is an outstanding painter in this dynasty, good at painting landscapes, but also good at painting snow scenes, later many painters are influenced by his painting style, his "Journey to the Mountains and Streams" is the only famous monument handed down.
The most important thing is that Zhu Baobao of Xichun Tower once studied landscape painting with Fan Kuan for a while, and they can be regarded as half of the friendship between teachers and students.
But when I saw a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman, she stepped forward and shook it with a smile, "The concubine remembers Zhao Qiong, the head of Jiangnan, and I have seen Mr. Fan."
I saw this woman, with a bright appearance, outstanding temperament, and an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, and immediately won the favor of Mr. Fan.
