Chapter 18: You Steal My Thieves.

The painting boat is a beautifully laid out and ancient shipyard.

A banquet was set up in the painting boat, with the women on one side, the students of the Cui family on the other, and Cui Chiji and the profound elders in the clan who were famous and in the clan on the other side.

Cui Chiji doesn't know poetry, but the Cui family's four young people and five young Shanzi are good at this, and they are also sitting here.

There is no special stage in the hall, but the cabaret performances that appear are very natural and impressive.

After all, the poetry meetings held by the Cui family are all famous in various green buildings.

When it comes to Qinglou, Li Xingzhou's first impression is the pictures in those film and television dramas in the 21st century.

As soon as you enter the green building, the building is full of pigeon-cage-like huts.

As soon as the scooper entered the courtyard with his front foot, the old bustard howled:

"Girls, come out to meet guests!"

So a bunch of warblers and swallows poured out, and the noisy people were dizzy.

After crossing, Li Xingzhou followed Cui Anpersim a few times before he got to know the Qinglou.

Li Xingzhou always thought that the famous prostitutes in Qinglou were all named prostitutes, so they must be in the leather and meat business.

He didn't understand until now.

In ancient times, prostitutes and prostitutes were inseparable, and they could both be called records.

But what you do is very different.

"A pair of jade arms, a thousand pillows, a little red lips and ten thousand tastes" is a prostitute.

And excellent is a person who sells his art but not his body, and the quality flow is much higher.

It's like a lot of eighteen-line tender models and small Internet celebrities.

Although they all do the same thing, the price of people has doubled.

In ancient times, most of the large-scale Qinglou were actually prostitutes.

After all, those who are purely pleasant in color and do the skin and meat business, it is difficult to become popular.

And although the real celebrities entertain people with sex and do not serve pillows, it does not prevent them from gaining high fame.

Because their fame depends on their own elegant conversation, communication skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing and other means to show their talent and wisdom, rather than just relying on the means of collapsing the wind to earn fame.

Prostitutes can't make much money just by doing the meat business.

However, these famous excellent records are not, most of them rely on their talents and communication skills, and they can often get high remuneration among high-ranking officials and nobles.

Because of the dignitaries, rich gentry and wealthy businessmen, when socializing, many things are not discussed at home.

Or it is inconvenient for people to see them in private, so they have to come to the Qinglou.

Drink tea and listen to music to relax, and friends get together to negotiate business.

Such an occasion has become the best place for officials to be vertical, shopping malls to be horizontal, collude with each other, and communicate up and down.

And in this process, they may be familiar with each other, or they may be unfamiliar, maybe some things are inconvenient to say directly, or some things are inconvenient to put forward conditions in person.

At this time, it is necessary to have a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing and dancing from all sides, from which to thread the needle, communicate and coordinate, alleviate contradictions, and promote political alliances and shopping mall cooperation between all parties.

This person is naturally the famous and sociable Qinglou name.

And the real means of making money for the Qinglou celebrities is to use their interpersonal relationships and anxious conversations to thread the needle for the dignitaries, gentry and wealthy businessmen, and promote their cooperation, and get paid.

And the really famous Qinglou Mingji, most of the people they receive are either rich or noble.

These people's status and cultural quality are very high, and there is no shortage of wives and concubines in the family. Not so hungry that you become a hungry ghost.

There are countless beautiful wives and concubines in the family, and they want to go to the courtyard to spend money.

When they come to the Qinglou, most of them are drinking tea and listening to music to relax, or friends get together to negotiate business, and they leave after drinking, basically nothing to do.

And the second-class girls also mostly walked out of their own homes of scattered and miscellaneous dramas.

A feast for the rich and powerful. There will be such a woman who is invited to bring musical instruments.

Such a woman also has a skill in silk and bamboo orchestra and beautiful singing and dancing.

As for those who accompany the romance and earn the capital of the head, it will be the next level, their benefactor group is the most extensive, but the income is also limited.

Li Xingzhou also realized that the names of the Qinglou were all such women, and he couldn't help but have a great change in his impression of them.

And, of course, Wai Frost.

A large-scale green building wants to achieve great fame.

The girls in the building naturally rely on their talent and wisdom in dealing with people, rather than just relying on their faces and skin business.

After Liu Yun finished singing, she got up and went down to rest.

On occasions like the poetry meeting, Liu Yun is naturally a must.

But she doesn't have to drink or anything like that. 、

She only needs to compete with Qiyun during the climax of the poetry meeting.

Today is also a good opportunity for the Qinglou to improve their reputation and attract business.

Some of the popular girls in the Qinglou are rehearsing at the last time.

Some of them are in harmony with the lyrics and songs of those talented and famous people, and there are bursts of laughter on the gorgeous painting boat.

The most important thing for celebrities to survive is fame, and being able to show their faces at poetry meetings is undoubtedly the best way to improve their fame.

For example, Qinghe's famous "dispute between two rhymes." But it is the hottest topic in Qinghe.

The fame of the name is mainly won by those literati.

Therefore, having a good relationship with Qinghe's famous talents is also an important means for Mingji to improve his reputation.

For example, Liu Yun's fame was beaten by the eldest son of the Cui family.

After all, there is only one willow rhyme in the Qinghe River.

If a famous talent writes a wonderful poem for himself, and he composes a tune and sings it, he can undoubtedly become famous the fastest.

And those talented people also hope that their poems will be sung.

And this era did not have as many media means as later generations.

Qinglou singing is basically the only and best means of media promotion.

For example, Liu Sanchang, where there is well water, there is Liu Lang word.

Liu Sanbian was forced to be picked up by those Qinglou girls.

At this time, the songs were quite talented, and not everyone's poems would be sung regardless of the good and the bad.

I don't know how many levels higher than those who sang falsetto in later generations.

Of course, poems that don't fall into their eyes, you beg them, and they don't bother to sing them.

So sometimes, to a large extent, the poet still has to ask for a name.

Through the singing of popular celebrities, it is also an important means to increase the popularity of one's own poems and improve the fame of one's talents.

And these names can often enter and exit the wealthy and contact the powerful.

If she sings your poems, she will introduce two more sentences to the dignitaries:

"This is a masterpiece of a certain son, this son is outstanding in learning, quick in writing, and a first-class talent."

It will spread your reputation as a talented person quickly.

With this opportunity, you may also get the appreciation and recommendation of some dignitaries, so that you can rise to the top.

Therefore, the name of the talented man is mutually beneficial, and the name of the talented man is hot.

Moreover, if the celebrities are good, the first choice is also those talented people.

And marrying a businessman covered in patina is their last most helpless choice.

Rather be a concubine than a businessman's wife, it is the mainstream of this era.

If the genius accidentally wins the champion, it will be a classic of the small talk book.

And the talents win the hearts of beauties with their poems, they have to be guests of the curtain, or they have to hug the beauties, and they will definitely be rumored to be good stories in Datang.

Maybe after tonight, there will be many talented and beautiful people and romantic stories circulating.

At this time, the one in the hall is the top brand Qiyun girl of Yixiang Building.

Qiyun held a pipa and took the stage, followed by several beautiful women who danced.

Qiyun wore a smoky blue dress and dragged the ground, and the cuffs were mixed with patterns.

It's just that the skirt is embroidered with a butterfly, covered with a water-green thin smoke gauze, and the thin silk thread is embroidered with slow cherry blossoms lush and blooming, elegant but charming. Slightly apply powder, eyes horizontal autumn water.

A peach blossom between the eyebrows, beautiful eyes slightly narrowed. Sweeping his eyes to everyone, Liu Xu looked at her beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but tremble, with a seductive charm and extremely charming.

The pipa sounded, the sandalwood mouth opened lightly, the gentle and crisp voice of Qiyun sounded, and the accompanying dancers also danced like butterflies wearing flowers, and sang in their mouths:

"After robbing the Ninefold City Pass, I am sitting on my horse

Look at the fluttering hem of the dress and lift the skirt while rubbing the shoulders......"

"Walk all over the three rivers and six banks, borrow the sword light to make sails

Ren dew soaked through the short shirt, and the thief looked at the four wilds

I have had breakfast with the tiger for many years

Carrying the fishing strings of the fisherman, he asked Wolong how many taels he wanted...

If there are good works among the talented people at the poetry meeting, most of them will stand up directly and evaluate them with everyone.

Every once in a while, someone will send a few poems of good enough quality, and the paper will be circulated in the hands of everyone to watch, and if the poem is really good, or if there are other opinions, someone will also get up and recite it and discuss it with everyone.

Cui Yulun and Cui Shanzi and others will naturally make comments. When they choose the good ones, they will hand over the red card of the Qinglou to chant.

If Cui Chiji is a good beauty, then Cui Chaolun is a good bully beauty, Cui Chiji is romantic but not obscene, then Cui Chaolun is a wicked act of bullying men and women.

"The voice is crisp, the face is good, the posture is charming, and he is a stunner."

"Such a charming baby sings such elegant poems, which has a unique charm."

"It's a pity that I just married a concubine, and I really can't spare my energy, otherwise I will definitely put her in the room, and I will explain the witty words, add fragrance to the red sleeves, sizzle, or press under me, which is wonderful!"

At this time, Cui Yulun was already three points drunk, he commented on Qiyun unscrupulously, and the words he said were even more obscene.

Cui Chiji and Cui Shanzi were talking and laughing on the side, obviously familiar with Cui Yulun's virtue.

Dignitaries and nobles, chanting the wind and making the moon, are literati and elegant, pay attention to elegance, and rely on literary style to conquer women, oppress people with power, and force women to submit, most literati and scholars are disdainful.

A person who oppresses people and forces people to conform and does such a beautiful thing will be spurned by the entire literati world

However, Cui Yulun, the fourth young man of the Cui family, is tireless and happy.

Before, Qiyun asked someone to ask Cui Yulun to help find two good songs.

Unexpectedly, Cui Yulun actually asked her to serve the pillow for three days, and after being rejected by Qiyun, Cui Yulun held a grudge and naturally made him ugly on this occasion.

Cui Yulun's unscrupulous voice was very loud, and Qi Yun, who had already finished singing and was about to retire, heard it, and her little face turned pale in an instant, and some of the special hobbies of the fourth son of the Cui family were quite popular among them.

And Li Xingzhou, who was outside the door, was dumbfounded.

He pointed to Qiyun, who was about to go out, and said to Cui Anpersim and Da Xiong.

"She's stealing my thief!!"
