Chapter 3: Racing Skills (1)
As soon as the time arrived, there were more than 10 painting boats and pleasure boats lined up near the "Yijiangnan" in the middle of the lake, and there were no less than 100 people sitting and standing on it.
At this time, the judges of this competition have basically arrived, and they are waiting for the main judge to be the king of leisure, and the rest of the judges are also invited to sit at the tables in the center of the hall at this time.
A total of 10 people came to the Four Seasons Square, namely the boss of the third floor of Hangzhou, the head of each building, and each with a personal girl, and the last place fell into the hands of Pan Liang, the little flower of the Four Seasons Square.
The boss on the third floor and Pan Liang sat down in the hall, while Sanyan was busy sorting out clothes and makeup in the lounge, and the personal girls were by her side to help.
In the hall, each judge has a few chairs, and the wide chairs are covered with wool carpets that can only be found in the north, and the price is very high at a glance, and it is very comfortable and warm to sit on.
There are delicate refreshments on the table, transparent Malan cakes, green bean cakes, and even pastries that I can't name and have never seen, with yellow backgrounds and white edges, and various fruits on them, which are very attractive. Drinking the best tea, the host's hospitality made the guests very satisfied.
"Master Li, do you think the layout of this entire cabin is very special?" The shopkeeper of Dicuizhai quietly asked the neighboring Zhizhou for advice.
"Yes, I look at this arrangement, this arrangement, it even implies the formation of Qimen gossip, strange." Lord Li of Zhizhou was full of surprise.
"Dare to ask Boss Zhao, this tea is a small dragon group?" Zhao Luan, a talented man from Zhejiang here, asked about the tea he drank.
Zhejiang genius Zhao Luan, twenty years old, was originally a Quzhou person, in Zhizhou Li Daren's newly built Phoenix Mountain Academy to study, is now quite a famous talent, very accomplished in poetry, and a few years later, this genius as a jinshi, once did the position of imperial history, and later also did Hangzhou Zhizhou twice, this is not a later story.
"Yes, it is known as "the world's first tea" of the Jianzhou small dragon group, this small dragon group is produced in Beiyuan Phoenix Mountain, this tea is picked one or two days after the thunder, each piece of tea needs to have a flag and a gun, and then the outside is wrapped in tender pu leaves and strictly put into the bamboo roasting basket of roasted tea with warm fire, roasted once in two or three days, and then collected, when drinking, it is fried with the Gu Lian water of Kanggu Lianquan in southwest Jiangxi, which is known as "the first water in the world", so that the entrance can be sweet and smooth, and it is most suitable for drinking in winter. As soon as Zhao Qiong finished speaking, the surroundings were suddenly quiet, and everyone looked at the master of the painting boat with surprised and admired eyes.
You must know that everyone here is a master of tea tasting, and everyone is used to drinking high-quality tea, and ordinary tea can't enter their respectful mouth at all. And Gu Lianshui and Xiaolongtuan, that is something that is difficult to buy with money, are generally mostly used by the palace or rewarded by high-ranking officials.
Thinking of this, all the judges silently enjoyed this food and excellent tea that is usually difficult to enjoy.
"The prince is here, please~~", as the end of the little guy has not yet ended, everyone present stood up and walked to the door to greet the judge.
I saw a middle-aged man about 40 years old walking in under the leadership of the maid, with a moderate figure, with a mature and dignified manner, casual and free, looking gentle and elegant, and noble temperament.
After greeting everyone, they sat down separately, and the chief judge sat in the middle and nodded to indicate that it was time to start.
Zhao Qiong walked to the middle and nodded at everyone, with a generous attitude, where did she look like an old bustard.
"Remembering Jiangnan" has been in Hangzhou for nearly a month, thanks to your care, today I was able to exchange skills with all the sisters in Hangzhou, and the slave family felt very honored. The most important thing is to get the strong support of the prince and you, the slave family is here to thank you for your face, and the following competition begins. Zhao Qiong's voice was hoarse but extremely magnetic, blending with the atmosphere at this time, which made people feel indescribably comfortable to listen to.
The competition is divided into four parts, namely piano art, painting art, singing art and dance art.
In this dynasty, if you want to become a famous prostitute, these four skills are indispensable, most brothels began to choose good-looking, qualified girls from an early age to cultivate, and even at the expense of inviting experts in these aspects to teach skills, so the Oiran at that time was often a double of color and art, attracting the world's attention.
The first one to appear is Bai Xiaoxiao of the Four Seasons Fang, but seeing Bai Xiaoxiao's petite and delicate figure, fair skin, she knows at a glance that she is a typical Jiangnan woman, dressed in goose-yellow clothes, and a goose-yellow flower is obliquely inserted in the bun, lining the melon seed face more and more pink, which is simply blown.
As soon as the charming and moving Bai Xiaoxiao came on the stage, a personal girl sent a Yaoqin, but seeing that Xiaoxiao was blessed to everyone, the charming voice carried Wu Nong's soft language unique to Jiangnan, "Ladies and gentlemen, Xiaoxiao brought the track of "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" today, please correct."
"The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together. Thousands of miles with the waves, where there is no moon in the spring river!
The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlit flowers and forests are like hail; The frost in the air does not fly, and the white sand on the Ting cannot be seen.
Jiangtian is colorless and dustless, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky. Who first saw the moon on the riverside? When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year?
Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year. I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water.
******
Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" was performed by Bai Xiaoxiao's Yaoqin with a tactful and melodious performance, and a soft singing voice, slowly sung. is worthy of being one of the three Yan, Bai Xiao's piano skills and singing skills are first-class.
"Spring River Flower Moonlit Night" is known as a poem known as "Lonely Realm", with the song of Yao Qinfu, its artistic conception is difficult to have a poem comparable to it, if you add it with music, the difficulty increases a lot. How did "Remembering Jiangnan" come up with songs and songs that surpassed it.
At the end of the song, the judges in the hall had not yet spoken, but the people listening to the music outside began to talk about it.
A scribe dressed in white said to the people around him, "Brother Wang, it seems that we are not in vain this time, the little girl's piano and song, if we don't spend a lot of money, it is difficult to hear, not to mention that even if we spend a lot of silver, the white girl may not be willing to show her talents, now this silver is really worth it, the little girl has taken out the housekeeping skills"
"It seems that Yi Jiangnan's piano and singing skills are about to be defeated, and the Four Seasons Fang in Hangzhou City is not in vain" Before the words fell, the people on the boat on the other side also shook their heads and said.
And in the hall, the prince touched his beard under his chin and nodded again and again, "Okay, good!" This song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" is really well chosen, played well, and sung well, whether it is the artistic conception, the music style, and the playing techniques are all perfect, which makes people have endless aftertaste and long rhyme. The first move of the Four Seasons Square is really powerful, let us see what tricks Yi Jiangnan has back. ”
