Chapter 278: Beauty
Not only was the hall full of guests, but there were also people standing in the winding staircases and corridors, and the windows on the second and third floors were opened, and it was obvious that the guests were also admiring their faces.
Today is not ordinary, it is the choice of the champion of the flower country jointly organized by the flower street on both sides of the Qinhuai River and the willow lanes, and the location is set in this Wanhualou.
In the past, the choice of this oiran was on the flower boat of the Qinhuai River, and the lanterns were very lively, but this year, the court was a little tense, in order to prevent the aftermath of the anger of the saint, although the big and small officials liked this, they did not dare to show their heads, and they could only be low-key as much as possible, so they could only be located here.
Although it is a thing in the courtyard of the Qinglou, it is also the same as the serious imperial examination, and it is necessary to choose a champion of the flower country and the list of eyes, flowers, and rumors, so although it is not as lively as in the past, it is also crowded.
Gong Yuchun is the proprietor, and today he is also dressed in a high updo, a cross-collar gown with a gold peacock pattern, a red peony and a rich and wealthy skirt for the immortals, the hairpin is just a crested head, but it is inlaid with a huge pearl, which shines brightly on the whole person, but there is also a white peony the size of a wine cup inserted in the sideburns, which adds three points of charm.
She stood on the stairs on the second floor and looked down with a smile, and suddenly she had sharp eyes and raised her glasses here, and even half of the male guests who were staring at the stage and swallowing saliva shifted their focus.
"Sister Yu, you are dressed up so standardly today, are you going to take this Oiran throne?"
This is the bustard mother in the industry covering her mouth and smiling, half ridiculing and half souring her, Gong Yuchun smiled slightly, adding more mature charm. "Sister, this is praising me, I can afford this compliment, I'm afraid that the eldest daughter in your building will not forgive. It's just a shame to make you angry. β
Although Gong Yuchun calmly replied, he was vaguely anxious in his heart - tonight was really eventful, it was the day of the champion of the flower country, but the eldest brother of the meeting came urgently, asking more than a dozen brothers and sisters to gather......
Did something happen?
He remembered the complaints from the mouths of the regulars in the building at dinnertime, and his heart suddenly tightened--the imperial eagle dogs came out in the east city. It seems that they are hunting down some kind of traitor's henchmen!
Could it be that something really happened to Jin Lanhui?
She couldn't help but shake her headβthe elder brother was always shrewd and wise, and if there was real danger, he would definitely warn him in time. Instead of getting everyone together for a meeting!
But a trace of doubt lingered in her heart like a ghost fire, and that night, Jingyu secretly met with a mysterious person in the secret room of Wanhualou. The looming royal identity of that mysterious figure. and Qin Yao and Xiao Gu's vigilance and suspicion about this matter, all of which made her unable to let go lightly, and she also had more eyes on Jingyu's orders.
She summoned her cronies, Sister Dai, and instructed, "Go and open the lock on the cellar in the backyard and let it be ventilated." β
Although she didn't know why she suddenly had this sentence, Sister Dai still did it.
"It's just a matter of being prepared, being vigilant in meetings, and guarding against court raids. It was supposed to be ......"
She persuaded her like this, and she felt that it was appropriate in her heart. Suddenly he turned around and laughed at himself for not worrying about anything, and the streets were now very calm, and there was a constant stream of customers, and he simply ignored the night ban.
These people are either officials and nobles, or they are also wealthy businessmen who have waist cards in the major yamen, and they can deal with fifty percent of the soldiers and horses who patrol the night with their signs, so they have nothing to fear.
At this time, there was a Siamese prostitute on the stage, who only wore a neon dress and silk on her body, her waist was slender and flexible like a snake, but the beads on her waist were swaying brightly, and she was tinkling with colorful dazzling fans, and everyone saw it better, but there was also a faint beauty of staring at her crotch obscenely.
After the dance, some people on the stage began to shout the price, although it was a small excitement before the opening, but the night ferry is not cheap, although this Siamese woman is not very beautiful, but it is also a fresh and rare thing, so some people who do not think about the edge of the Oiran will intentionally bid, which can be regarded as dew and joy.
When this excitement is over, just after the time, the silk and bamboo on the stage stopped, and then there were drums, which gradually roared like thunder, and suddenly stopped, and everyone was quiet.
The first to come to the stage was a thin beauty in her twenties, dressed in a plain white embroidered carved silk rui grass cloud goose wide-sleeved palace dress, lilac half arms hanging down to her side, and plum blossom makeup on her forehead, which was a Tang Dynasty costume.
After sitting down, she took out a tube of white jade flute, opened her lips lightly, and blew out a piece of "Plum Blossom Falling".
The sound of the flute became clearer and more graceful, the piper was plainly dressed, and the lights around him gradually went out, but a few lanterns were faintly lit, shining on the crescent moon outside the window.
Everyone listened attentively, only to feel that they were in the middle of the plum forest, the white plum blossoms of the jade rose gradually fell with the sound of the flute, the dark fragrance floated, cold and quiet.
"This is like pretending to be Concubine Jiang Caiping in the Tang Dynasty!"
Youya Ke stroked his beard and smiled, and the people around him also felt that it was ingenious, and under the background of the general atmosphere, Shengsheng set off this woman who was only beautiful.
At the end of the flute, the woman got up and saluted, her slender feet were not stained with half a cent of dust, "The concubine is a small character Suhua, and I have seen all the gentlemen." β
He was neither humble nor arrogant, but he left behind a huge disc of lotus blue and white flowers, which was for everyone to put down the property they were willing to give to this woman.
Immediately, someone sent a golden flower, which was a special bargaining chip in the building, one was fifty taels of silver, and it was piled up in the center of the plate at this time, there were at least a dozen or so flowers, and her bustard mother below suddenly smiled.
The next girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old, her skin was snow-white and almost crystalline, her whole person looked ignorant and innocent, and the style of the dress on her body was strange, some similar to snow-white long shirts, but her chest was tied high with a three-inch-wide red silk rope, and the knowledgeable whispered, "This is from Goryeo Korea!" β
Today, Zhu Di is stationed in Beiping all the year round, and he likes the Korean tribute girl quite much, and there are several favored people in the palace who are people over there, so the people inevitably have people to follow suit, but the road is far away, and the business is quite difficult, although the local women are fair-skinned, but there are not many who are really beautiful.
This sweet and charming in front of her, although not stunning, but also pretty, she sat there and twisted slowly, played the guqin, although a little jerky but can hear quite talented, but the mouth is chanting an incomprehensible exotic song, also caused a round of applause, someone actually generously donated, sent ten taels of gold ingots and a pearl, the value is at least about 1,500 taels.
After everyone was in an uproar, those who were competing for wealth also offered the same price, and the golden flowers were piled up into a small mountain and given to the first Suhua girl, and the battle was immediately equal.
The atmosphere in the hall and upstairs everywhere is hot, and there is a song and dance in the middle, which is also Goryeo characteristics, everyone looks at the eyes, and the power of the wine and beauty makes them almost intoxicated, and the sound of silk and bamboo is in their ears, like falling into a gentle fairyland.
