The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 39 Oiran
Lu Allied Army was originally a little embarrassed, he studied also to rely on his father in the future, not to mention that he could achieve nothing, at least he could be an official, and he would earn a little more money, enough to live happily for himself, what a beautiful life, how could he feel like a moth between Chen Ye and Lu Yong, yes, he felt that he was a moth of a country.
It's embarrassing, Qingpingfang is lively, it turns out that many talented people are expecting Qingpingfang Oiran to come out for everyone to see each other and coax below.
Usually speaking, when everyone is lively for a while, there will be Qingpingfang Qingqi people who come out to perform a talent, and finally the Oiran debuts, if there is a talent favored by the Oiran, you can also talk about it, and what will happen next, it depends on the result of the chat.
After all, not everyone can get an Oiran, but Oiran is also the least rare in Hangzhou. Oiran will be selected every year, excellent people can be re-elected, Oiran only has a year or two of beauty, so many Oiran will choose a good home for themselves during this time.
As an excellent Qing Qi person, you must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you must be able to grasp your mind, otherwise the customer is not satisfied, no one points yourself, and the reputation of the customer who serves them badly spreads, and there is no need to gain a foothold in Hangzhou, there are more than 20 large and small Qinglou in Hangzhou.
At the beginning of the day, a group of people began to dance, and these people writhed their bodies and showed their most attractive side, attracting the people below to teach one after another. There is also a group of people who are in a hurry, no, it's poetry.
Singing it, it drew a round of applause, and wrote down his own verses and handed them to a special box. Why put it in a box, in order to give a lot of people a chance, I made a special box, and if the Oiran liked which song, I would invite him over to chat and drink.
This is already the most common pastime in this world, and it is really super boring. The dance was purely a fiddling gesture, and there was nothing about Athens.
One by one, the musical instruments came to the stage, and one by one ancient songs were popped, and the rhythm was barely in the ears, but unfortunately there was no emotion.
Lu Allied Jun seemed to be enjoying it, indulging in it and couldn't extricate himself, Lu Yong and Chen Ye smiled at each other, sat down, and continued to chat.
"Brother Chen, I know that I am the son of the prime minister, why am I calm" began the intimate conversation between the two people.
"I don't need to cling to forces, I will fight for what I want"
Lu Yong continued: "With the help of my father, many years can be saved"
"That's your father, not you, your father is your father's after all, it's cold in the heights, it's not as easy as you think. What is earned by one's own efforts is the strongest. Someone can give it to you, and you can take it away. Lu Yong looked at Chen Ye's ambition and backbone, and thought of his own situation.
Lu Yong knew very well in his heart that his father had always said that he was in a high position, and every step was like walking on ice, and he didn't want to rely on his father, so when he became the prime minister, he also began to pave the way for his son. sent Lu Yong to his hometown of Hangzhou to study, and also hoped that Lu Yong could go to high school, so that he could send Lu Yong into officialdom openly, and if there were any changes in the later stage, he could dissociate himself from Lu Yong. Even Lu Yong could feel that his father was too obsessed with power.
"Brother Chen, sure enough, I am my bosom friend, I just want to get everything I want with my own efforts, fight for the country and the king, that's why I study here."
Through this conversation, there is no difference in status between the two people, and they are the real like-minded and friends. Of course, Lu Yong himself wanted to serve the country, but Chen Ye still felt that he should try to be happy and chic in the future, even if he was an official, he should also be an idle official.
"Coming, coming, Oiran coming," Lu Allied shouted, not paying the slightest attention to the conversation between them.
Chen Ye shook his head speechlessly, Lu Allied Army missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The words fall, the music begins, and the dance begins. Miaoman's figure danced with the cloud sleeves and slowly twisted the silk. Regular rotation and swaying to the rhythm of the music. It seems to be a butterfly fluttering, like a firefly chasing, like a flower drifting away with the rain. A shallow smile is reflected between the veils. The long black hair flew along with the dance, and at the end of the song, it seemed to turn around and shoot swallows. At the end of the dance, stand up and bow in thanks.
I saw that the group of people below were stunned, and Chen Ye also felt that this Oiran had some dancing skills. For a while, many people introduced themselves one after another.
"I'm a so-and-so scholar, this is the poem I wrote"
"I'm the son of such and such an official"
"I want to invite the girl to talk about life"
Occasionally, a man snatched the Oiran's handkerchief, causing a scream, and finally the handkerchief was photographed by someone somebody. Chen Ye felt that this was chasing stars, but he didn't expect to chase stars here as crazy.
"Brother Chen, why don't you write poetry, can't this oiran get into your eyes," Lu Yong quipped.
Chen Ye nodded, "It's average, it's just that the dancing is better."
"I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so picky, but since you're here, why bother composing a poem, let's each have a poem, see who the Oiran fancies?" Chen Ye originally wanted to refuse, but later Lu Allied Army also joined in, thinking that it was originally a game to liven up the atmosphere. Just drinking tea and listening to music is also boring.
This will Lu Allied Army preemptively said: "This time I will take the Oiran as the theme", after all, I have been in and out of the Qinglou many times, and I have more experience, so I won't lose so ugly.
The three of them had the pen and ink fetched, and each wrote a poem, and gave it to the next person, and they would give it to the Oiran to judge.
During this period, they talked about some business things, and Chen Ye told Lu Allied Army to open a branch in the capital, specifically for people in the capital, not just to pay tribute to the palace. The quality and workmanship in the palace are good, but the biggest market lies in the people. Lu Allied nodded sincerely, and arranged it when he went back.
"I don't know if I can partner with this business?" Lu Yong suddenly said this, Chen Ye was a little stunned, the prime minister's son is not short of money, Lu Allied was overjoyed, responded on the spot, and pulled Chen Ye into the shares. In this way, the Beijing branch was finalized, Lu Yong accounted for 40% of the shares, and Lu Mengjun and Chen Ye each accounted for 30%.
"Today, a talented man was selected by the young lady" and read the poem out, the purpose of this is to make a fair and transparent for everyone, to prove that Oiran did not open the back door, but also to inspire more people to follow him.
"More than thirteen years old, cardamom tips in early February. Spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road, roll up the bead curtain is not as good. After reading it, he looked at Chen Ye's room.
"Congratulations to Brother Chen, Brother Chen, go quickly" Lu Yong congratulated Chen Ye, Lu Yong knew the weight of this poem, from now on, this Oiran can spread to the capital with the fame of this poem, I don't know if there will be any good stories tonight.
Lu Yong took Lu Allied Army away, so don't disturb Chen Ye at this time, but there is no regret when you get this poem tonight.
"Childe, please!" The maid had already come up to invite Chen Ye.
The maid took Chen Ye through a winding path, and finally walked to a secluded courtyard and motioned for Chen Ye to go in directly. Chen Ye pushed the door straight open and went in.
"Childe, you're here" Oiran guided Chen Ye down, and the wine and food were already on the round table.
Without waiting for Chen Ye to finish speaking, Oiran said gratefully: "Childe's talent is peerless, thank you for Childe's success"
"You don't have to thank me" The room fell silent, Chen Ye wanted to leave a little, this Oiran is beautiful, just beautiful.
Oiran opened his mouth to break the silence: "Childe doesn't look down on the slave family's posture of the willow?" ”
Chen Ye didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence, Oiran felt a great shame, I have practiced all my skills, and I have practiced my dancing skills for more than ten years, but I can't even get into your eyes.
Oiran wanted to cry a little, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and told Chen Ye about his life experience. It turned out that she was a woman from a large family, her father was suspected of rebellion, and she was bought and sold on the way to escape, and finally came to Qingpingfang, studied art for more than ten years, and became an Oiran after a while.
"I just hope that Childe can go out later and keep a little of my reputation" Oiran knelt down. If Chen Ye goes out too early, his reputation will be ruined.
"Okay, do you have a book?" Chen Ye asked.
Chen Ye looked at the book like this, and when it was time for the three incense sticks, Chen Ye got up and left.
Oiran deeply imprinted this person in his mind, both grateful and hateful, grateful because he became famous in the future with this poem, hated that he actually disliked his ugliness, thought for a long time, felt that such a talented man should have seen a lot of beautiful women, and he may not be worthy of his favor at all.
Chen Ye went home directly like this, and he didn't care about the idea of an oiran.
