Chapter 10 Assignment of Posts (II)

Generally in the workshop as a female envoy, few are literate, those like Lu Yanwan's daughters of criminal ministers, because most of the colors are outstanding, and there is some foundation in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so almost all of them are selected as geisha training, and most of those who are female envoys are poor women bought from outside, and the colors are plain, and they serve those geisha who have been listed. But most of the popular top brands are vassals and elegant, and they feel that it is too vulgar to put an illiterate female envoy around them, so they have to choose those who are coarse and ink-coarse, but these years the people who will sell themselves to the teaching workshop are not full of food, where will there be spare money to teach their daughters to read and write, and literacy is not something that can be learned in a day or two, which is difficult for Wu's mother, who specializes in buying people, which popular prostitute she is not easy to offend, but where did she go to find so many literate female envoys.

Mother Wu's eyes suddenly improved when she looked at Lu Yanwan, and said: "Miss Shishi has been dragging me to help her find a female envoy who can write and calculate a few days ago, I sent her several, and she is not very satisfied. ”

"It's all up to my mother." Lu Yanwan pretended to listen carefully, she knew the "poetry girl" in Wu's mother's mouth, she was also a prostitute in the teaching workshop in her previous life, only a little worse than the most popular Xiangjun, she has been dancing since elementary school, and she is the best at "shocking dance", it is said that she is as light as a swallow and can dance on the crystal plate, Lu Yanwan feels that this is somewhat exaggerated, anyway, she has not seen it with her own eyes, but she knows that this poetry and poetry temperament is not very good, and the female envoy by her side will not stay for more than a year.

Mother Wu asked Lu Xianwan to take care of herself, and then took her to Yichun Courtyard. The hierarchy in the workshop is very distinct, those who can live in the Yichun Courtyard are the top in the teaching workshop, the highest skills, called the "insider", also known as the "front person", they can often perform songs and dances in front of the emperor's throne, and they can also wear fish bag decorations when entering and exiting, this fish bag is generally the decoration of officials, so that a small prostitute can wear it on the body, it can be seen that they can enter the Yichun Courtyard, they are all amazing characters.

Under Yichun Courtyard is Yunshao Courtyard, which is called "Gongren", also known as "Yunshao". The palace people are the general kabuki in the teaching workshop, and when there are not enough insiders performing songs and dances, they often add them to Yunshao, but because they are inferior after all, the palace people are not qualified to "bring fish", so even in large-scale song and dance performances, they can distinguish the palace people from the insiders at a glance.

Again, the first class is the "chou player", "the player is a poor woman to enter the workshop with a look, learn pipa, five strings, gonghou, zheng and other musical instruments to play, mainly engaged in accompaniment, because they have a specialization, so most of them are not good at singing and dancing.

At the end of the day are the "miscellaneous women" of the two houses, and compared with the insiders, the miscellaneous women are not good at singing, they are often ridiculed, and their status in the teaching workshop is also the lowest.

All four categories are women, mainly singing and dancing performances, and there are many acrobats in the workshop, most of whom are anonymous, so there are few famous ones.

Mother Wu led Lu Hui to Shishi's residence, and waited outside for a while, before a female envoy in an apricot yellow shirt walked out with an arrogant expression, glanced at Lu Hui at will, and frowned unhappily, even in front of Mother Wu, she said in a tone that was not very polite: "Mother Wu, you are becoming less and less concerned about the things that our lady explained to you, and the few people in front of you are forgotten, why are you even bringing such crooked melons and cracked dates to us now, our lady has to enter and leave the palace, How can such people be brought out? ”

Mother Wu also guessed that Lu Yanwan's face would be a little troublesome early in the morning, so she had already prepared her words, and replied with a smile on her face: "Miss Jurui, don't look at this little girl, although she is broken, she is the daughter of an official family, if she is not broken, her appearance is also first-class, and she has read books for three or four years, which just meets the requirements of Shishi Niangzi, and when her face is raised for a while, it should not be so obvious." ”

The female envoy named Ju Rui was not moved by Mother Wu's words, and still said dissatisfiedly: "Are there still few daughters of official families in our workshop, what's the big deal, but it's just that the phoenix with falling hair is not as good as a chicken, and it's still a broken appearance, it's really not as good as a chicken, I advise Mother Wu, you better take the person back quickly, if our lady sees it in a while, you should know what kind of temper she has, and you are not allowed to drive it out with you." ”

Mother Wu naturally knew that Shishi had a bad temper, but her face was not very good-looking when she heard Ju Rui's words, if it weren't for the fact that this Shishi was still popular, she wouldn't have been able to serve in such a low voice, but the age of the Shishi was there, I'm afraid it wouldn't be arrogant for a few years.

Although Mother Wu thought so indignantly in her heart, she still smiled awkwardly on her face: "That's ...... I'll just find some other people to come and choose for the poet lady. After speaking, he pulled Lu Yan to leave in a depressed manner.

Lu Yanwan has been low-eyed since the beginning, but there is a coldness in her eyes, she is also very angry when she is disgusted like this, but she doesn't want to be a maid for that poem, if she remembers correctly, the final fate of this poem is not very good, after the old man is yellow, he was cheated of his savings for many years by a scholar, and then died depressed, but after his death, there was only a thin coffin, which was really desolate.

Mother Wu and Lu Yanwan just turned around and walked a few steps, and saw a woman in a white gauze dress walking towards them, Lu Huiwan saw the woman, she was slightly stunned, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, and her lips were red without dotting, how to say it, this woman did not have the charm and charm that a prostitute would have, but showed the dignity of a lady, which made people want to be close to it very much.

Lu Huiwan naturally knows this woman, Xiangjun, the top brand of the teaching workshop, even the poetry has to be held down by her, she has been listed since she was fifteen years old, and now for five years, the status of the first Oiran has not been shaken, and the age of twenty is already "old" for geisha, but Xiangjun is still standing, and the limelight is strong, that Shishi is three years younger than her.

When Wu's mother saw Xiangjun, she sincerely asked for peace. Although Xiangjun is the top brand, but the temper is very good, when he sees people, he always smiles with three points, and her appearance is even more intimate and admirable, and she is very popular with the people in the workshop, she smiled and nodded with Wu's mother, and said: "Mom, this is sending someone to Sister Shishi again, Sister Shishi's vision is high, but it is hard for you." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, this is my business, and I want to help the poet choose a person who agrees." Mother Wu immediately replied with a smile.
