As mentioned last time, Liu Yan took over the task of the little emperor and feasted those opposition officials everywhere, so that they could not sleep after returning home from work at night. Don't look at Liu Yan's usual life style, it seems that he is not very good, but he has always been more attentive to the tasks assigned by the emperor. This time, in order to achieve the expected goal, he did his best to arrange all kinds of activities for the elders in all aspects of wine and wealth.

Wine is his treasured wine, but unfortunately not many people appreciate it. In this era, brothels in Qinglou are legal businesses, and they sit with wine ~ stage, selling songs and selling ~ bodies are no longer a common thing.

The literati drank together, and if they were not accompanied by a few famous prostitutes in Qinglou, they were embarrassed to say that they were elegant. It is said that in this era, prostitutes are really not bad things, they can only be regarded as romantic affairs, and it is a very normal social activity, and there is no essential difference between going to prostitutes, and going to someone to play chess.

For this event, Liu Yan, the king of the night pu world, also carefully prepared a feast of color arts, which was as wonderful as a feast in the sea and sky.

The so-called "lust" is not a simple lust ~ love, and the so-called prostitute ~ woman is not exactly the same as the profession of selling meat that is purely stripped ~ naked in later generations. Liu Yan arranged a lot of prostitutes ~ women around the banquet, but these prostitutes ~ women are not buying~ spring, but are responsible for blowing, playing, and singing, they are geisha who sell their art but do not sell ~ their bodies.

In ancient times, prostitutes ~ among women only prostitutes were sold ~ body, courtesans, maiko and other prostitutes ~ women generally did not sell ~ their bodies, called Qing Qi people, they sold their own skills, or it is more appropriate to call them art workers.

Of course, there are also two that are sold, called the Red Guys. Generally, there are prostitutes ~ women who sell their art and do not sell ~ their bodies, and there are also those who sell ~ their bodies, but the number is very small, and the grades are relatively high, and the reception is all high-ranking officials and nobles, and romantic talents. The brothels, which were purely engaged in the leather and meat business, were called "kilns" and were of a lower grade.

With Liu Yan's grade, of course, it is impossible to invite some kiln girls to offer ugliness, he invited these are the most famous geisha in Xuchang's most famous Qinglou, these people are all full of color and art, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which can be played and sung to please the guests, but also can be against the guests to chant poems, enjoy the wind and the moon.

Xuchang, as the capital of the Wei State, was the political, military and cultural center of the Wei State, and was once very prosperous and brilliant. Cao Zhi once mentioned Qinglou in his work "Beauty Chapter": "By asking women to live in peace? but at the southern end of the city. The green building is close to the road, and the high gate is closed. ”1

Therefore, these geisha invited by Liu Yan almost represent the highest level of the Wei folk music and dance circles, and their level is not far behind the official teaching department. In normal times, these bosses will definitely get excited, and will appreciate these songs and dances very carefully, although some of them are pretentious, but there are also people who pretend to be romantic, whether they are high or romantic, they are all self-proclaimed and elegant people, and elegant people love art very often.

Therefore, they usually like to watch the performances of these geisha, and some people can even find acquaintances from these geisha, and they usually go to their shows, and they can be said to be their fans. Of course, in this era, there is no vulgar noun like fans, and the relationship between the two is described by the word Enke, which has a deep cultural heritage.

The eyes of these benefactors were as bright as the eyes of canines in the dark night, but now, their eyes were glazed, their eyes were blank, and they were even dizzy, half-closed, half-closed. Anyway, no one has the heart to look at these worldly beauty, and those natural sounds are simply noisy noise to their ears.

Because no matter how beautiful the music is, it rings in the ears of people who want to sleep, and it is no different from the noise that disturbs people's dreams. In particular, Liu Yan also took special care of these geisha, playing and singing those high-pitched and passionate songs throughout the night, and it was forbidden to play and sing those graceful, beautiful, and slow-paced music, and whether it was blowing or singing, the sound must be loud, and they must do their best to make the loudest sound.

Graceful, beautiful, slow-paced music can induce drowsiness, on the contrary, high-pitched and impassioned music is uplifting. To say that this Liu Yan is bad enough, deliberately let the geisha make a high-decibel sound in the ears of the adults, the purpose of which is obviously to make these adults unable to sleep.

Liu Yan is the king of Yepu, and he has the most dealings with these geisha, and the geisha are all familiar with him, they know that he is a high-powered official, and he is usually bold, so they all like to do his business very much, this time Liu Yan also gave them enough benefits, they naturally obeyed him, and they all did their best to create the highest decibel vocal music.

Those bosses didn't scold them and wanted them to be quiet, but with Liu Yan supporting them, these bosses couldn't do anything to them. Compared with those old immortals, these geisha of course prefer the mature, steady, handsome, graceful and generous Liu Yan, so they only listen to Liu Yan's words one by one, and only treat the words of those old adults as a deaf ear.

Just the two tricks of wine have made these courtiers want ~ immortal ~ want to die and can't sleep, and a few old men who usually have a bad heart and a little high blood pressure have even felt a faint pain in their chests. However, Liu Yan didn't plan to stop like this, only half of the four mantras of Yepu were used, and less than two of the five specific activities were carried out, and Liu Yan still had a follow-up move.

Gambling occupies a very important position in the Yepu world, but all the people present here are the so-called literati and scholars, and they are all high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the central government, and it is impossible for them to be like the bad gamblers in the gambling stalls, shouting to buy big and small, guess black and white, and play pai gow......

Therefore, Liu Yan did not let people set up a gambling table at the banquet site, so that everyone could gamble on their luck. However, gambling has a long history and various forms, and in addition to these folk vulgar plays, the Sven people also have Sven plays.

The most common way of gambling among literati is to fight poems, and there are many forms and tricks of fighting poems, such as poetry solitaire, pairs, riddles, and so on. Liu Yan naturally organized this kind of activity, but in this situation, no matter how Liu Yan flirted ~ dialed, everyone had no poetry, and they all just said casually to deal with the past.

The literati also had a game called pitching pots in the banquets, that is, throwing arrows into a ceramic pot placed not far away, and whoever could throw the arrows into it would win. But now everyone is powerless, and no one is willing to participate in this sport, which everyone usually loves.

Note 1: The green building in Cao Zhi's poem may only refer to the blue building, not the meaning of the green building.
