Chapter 17: Cui Wanrou and Cui Wanruo
The six large boats that were originally docked on the side of the most lively street in the Zhangshui River also slowly sailed to the shore.
One by one, poems were sent from the six painting boats and spread throughout Qinghe County.
In the lights and songs of the city, the atmosphere of elegance has become more and more intense.
The lively night of the city has only officially entered its climax.
Although the Zhangshui Poetry Club is the poetry club of the Cui family, the Cui family is the Qinghe, and the Qinghe is the Cui family, and the Zhangshui Poetry Club can also be understood as the carnival of the entire Qinghe.
Painting boats on the Zhangshui River cruise, and the lights on both sides of the river are bright.
At this time, the streets of the city were full of people, and at the time shortly after dinner, people came out from their houses, and the roads were full of lanterns, like a mighty and unquenchable fire.
Hawkers shouted loudly, jugglers gathered in the streets, and the faint singing of customers came from the green buildings.
Sometimes you can see the dancing inside, and from time to time people come in and out, and it is very lively.
Later, you can hear a famous prostitute in a certain green building, chanting poems from the painting boat, decorating these talents with a beautiful crimson atmosphere.
The legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the elegance of the Tang Dynasty, that's all.
At this time, in the city of Qinghe County, in the streets and nearby teahouses and restaurants, in large and small gatherings, literati and students shook their heads and commented on the best poems in the painting boat, and commented on whose poems could be sung the longest.
Even the small people in the market who have never studied can feel such an artistic conception in such an atmosphere, and discuss with the people around them, and get some elegance.
The Cui family's six-boat boat had already left the shore and was slowly driving along the most beautiful and lively section of the river.
Even so, it was not closed, and more than a dozen small boats followed the banks on both sides of the Zhangshui River.
Occasionally, people go to the big boat, and occasionally people are carried or poems are delivered, like a palace on the water accompanied by a small fish.
Those who come on board will pass on the good work of the night, and there will also be some gossip and gossip.
For example, at a poetry meeting, a big man in the Cui family announced who he would marry his daughter to.
Or maybe a certain big man of the Cui family praised the young man who wrote excellent poetry.
At this time, it is not yet the most enthusiastic time, and the poetry meeting will be held until the early hours of the morning, and really good poems cannot really be won by chance.
Most of every student will prepare one or two proud songs, and they feel that their talent is not enough, and they don't need to be ugly in front of those top figures to be released early.
And the climax that really makes the top talents release their killer features often doesn't start until midnight.
If you can get a good reputation at this time tonight, accumulate fame, and win the favor of the Cui family's bosses, your career in the future will be much smoother.
This is the reason why so many talented people are grinding their fists.
You must know that the person in charge of the poetry club is Cui Chiji, the eldest and youngest of the Cui family, who can be understood as the spokesperson of the Cui family to a certain extent.
It was close to midnight, and the bustle in Qinghe County was gradually reaching its peak.
Li Xing and the others remained on the outskirts of the painting boat, not because they had to wait until midnight to become famous.
Rather, no matter when, becoming famous through poetry is not the way of the three of them.
Xiong Yanfu can barely write his own name, and the best thing Cui Anpersim writes is his own name, Li Xingzhou, uh, a little stronger than them...
A loud noise came, and the three of them leaned on the railing in boredom.
A faint singing voice came from a green building on the shore, gathering in the sound of the boiling market.
After a while, someone in the painting boat came quickly from the boat holding a piece of rice paper: "Cui Anyi, Cui Qigongzi's new poem Yongyue......"
Then someone on the other end quickly took it and disappeared on the other side of the boat.
From time to time, small boats on the riverside approach and sail away.
The small boat then sailed lightly from the shore in the light of the lamp, and rowed towards the great boat that was approaching in the middle of the river.
Li Xingzhou gently hooked the fingers of both hands in front of him, raised his head to look at the painting boat that was gradually walking away, and he realized the madness of this era for talented people.
"Becoming famous in this day and age seems like a really good choice."
The sound of music came from the cabin, and another song and dance inside was about to come to an end.
The singing and dancing dispersed in the middle of the boat, followed by enthusiastic applause.
Later, a small boat came from the shore to bring up the excellent poems that appeared in the Great Poetry Society, and some of them also attached some praises and comments from everyone.
The poetry club can't be a big group of people who sit and write poems all the time.
In fact, there are many programs since the start of the painting boat, listening to the lyrics, listening to the music, guessing the lantern riddles, watching the scenery or something, always giving everyone the atmosphere and understanding.
However, at this time, it has finally entered the most critical stage of this grand event.
Because speaking of which, although tonight's carnival will even be after the ugly hour, that is, after three o'clock in the morning, in fact, after the next hour, the poetry meeting will gradually decline.
The main reason is because most of the old people, or middle-aged people who are in poor health, you must know that most poets are in poor health.
At most, they will meet at this time, and after this time, they can't support themselves mentally, and it's basically time to go home.
In the literary world, it is natural that these people can have a certain reputation, and if they want to be famous tonight and want to get attention, the opinions of these people are the most important.
And when they leave, what remains is the game of real talented and beautiful women, and it can only become the theme after the pickle girl arrives, which is equivalent to a grand party of prostitutes.
This is the reason why Cui Anpersim is hard to consume here, he has a good skin, a thin and straight posture, and a gentle walk, such as Zhilan Yushu, relying on poetry It is estimated that he will be abused by others, but relying on his appearance, Cui Anpersim said that everyone here is garbage.
Although in this era when prostitutes became popular, this matter can indeed be given an elegant name, but the meaning is no longer as important as before.
Fame and beauty are chosen by most men in this era, and they will choose to be famous first.
、
Of course, there are exceptions, and that is Cui Anpersim.
。。。。
。。。。
Cui Wanrou and Cui Wanruo sat at a short table together, which was full of all kinds of exquisite melons and fruits, and the two of them laughed and huddled together.
On the small short table, there were some seasonal fruits, delicate snacks and delicious wines, and everyone knelt down according to the table.
Hu chair and Hu stool have been spread in the Central Plains since the Tang Dynasty, but the upper class and the wealthy families have not been able to promote it, and the wealthy families themselves have their inheritance and pride.
Therefore, in the upper-class elegant gathering, everyone still sits on their knees with a small number of cases.
Cui Wanrou wore a moon-white shirt and a thin skirt, a moon-white cardigan, and a thin plum blossom knot belt around her waist, which looked curly Nana, and a jade hairpin was inserted in the green silk of a crow, giving people a sense of freshness.
And Cui Wanruo is wearing a thin skirt with a yellow background and green lotus, combing a playful and charming fallen horse bun, a few lines of green silk hanging down scattered next to her forehead and temples, her body is slender and exquisite, her waist and neck are thin, her skin is milky white, and her face is not peerless, but she also has six or seven points of beauty.
Cui Wanrou and Cui Wanruo are both side branches of the Cui family, but Cui Wanrou's father Cui Daolin is Cui Dexiu's best friend, and he is placed in Youzhou as a assassin, so Cui Wanrou's status in the Cui family is even slightly higher than Cui An's.
Gatherings like this are usually separated by men and women, and there are screens between them, but of course they are not strict.
The people who came to participate in the Zhangshui Poetry Club were basically people from the Cui family, and these were not all Yunying's unmarried eldest ladies, but basically couples who came with their families.
Although it is also partly separated, everyone is a little polite, but walking around the side, the husband and wife can always meet and talk.
Cui Wanrou and Cui Wanruo are cousins, they are both sixteen or seventeen years old, and it is when the girl is innocent and romantic.
Cui Wanrou actually loves poetry, although she is not good at this aspect, but poets are like modern stars in this era, which girl does not have a little romantic mind in her heart.
It's because Cui Wanrou is not good at it, so she likes poetry even more, and the feeling of a certain talent swaying her literary brilliance in front of everyone naturally makes her heartbroken.
That's why she and Cui Wanruo came to participate in the poetry meeting.
And Cui Wanruo is different, although his father is not a talent of the Cui family, his status is not as high as Cui Daoshan, plus the status of women in the 1 Tang Dynasty is not high, if it were not for Cui Wanrou, she would not be able to participate in this poetry meeting.
For Cui Wanruo, poetry is just part of the spiritual pursuit of life, just like many girls in the 21st century love Canadian electric eels.
I just like it.
Although she likes it, she won't show too much in plain life, most of the women in the Cui family are precocious, and they clearly distinguish between ideals and dreams.
Poetry is a trail after all, and people like Cui Chiji in the clan are the main ones who have helped the world.
Thinking about it, her eyes were a little fiery when she looked at Cui Chiji.
seemed to feel her fiery eyes, and Cui Chiji, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded to her.
。。。
。。。
Although Cui Chiji did not dare to come out in front of Cui Quan, he was the first to be the first on this occasion, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, a gold crown and jade belt, a brocade robe inlaid with gorgeous gold edges, and meticulous needlework.
Cui Chiji maintains the good genes of the Cui family, his face is like a carving, his facial features are distinct, and his angular face is handsome and abnormal. It looks like a bohemian on the outside, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it.
A pair of black and dense hair is pulled up high, but under a pair of sword eyebrows is a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, full of affection, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful. The tall nose and the moderately thick red lips have a dizzying smile at this time.
People in the Cui clan say that Cui Chiji is the most Xiao ancestor, regardless of facial features or debauchery, Cui Quan is more than seventy, and there are several enchanting orchids in the room.
And Cui Chiji is still unmarried, lingering in the flowers, and he holds an ivory bone fan in his hand, on which are painted three bewitching exposing beauties.
Those three are the three Oirans he once won the first prize.
On the ivory bone fan, the one in the center is Liu Yun, the first prostitute in Qinghe who has just started the dance.
