The singing and dancing performed on the stage won the applause of the crowd from time to time, and it was a noisy and prosperous scene. Feng Siniang and the others also watched with relish, only Li Ang squinted and took a nap.

In a tsunami-like shout, Li Ang opened his eyes, only to see that the song and dance had ended on the stage, and there were four more scribes in brocade clothes beside the master of ceremonies.

Seeing Li Ang looking at the four people, Li Mowen smiled on the side, "These four people are the four talented people of Chang'an, the most born is called Zhang Wei, the eldest grandson of Henghou Zhang Fei for seven generations, but he likes literature and ink since he was a child, and he is an outlier in the warlike Zhang family." ”

Li Ang listened to the cries of 'Three Shao' around him, and couldn't help but look at Li Mowen beside him, "You said that he is the eldest grandson of the Henghou Zhang family, why do those people call him Sanshao again?" Next to Li Ang, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang all looked at Li Mowen together, this Chang'an Four Talents was amazing, and several people were also very curious about their origins.

"The children of Henghou Zhang's family have been proud of joining the army for generations, but this Zhang Wei is an outlier, he refuses to join the army, his father is very angry, and finally wants to tie him up to the barracks, but he still escaped, and later he met Tang Xin, the youngest daughter of Tang Zhen, a wealthy businessman in Shuzhong, so he became a talented and beautiful woman, and became the third aunt of the Tang family, which was quite liked by Tang Zhen, and outsiders called him 'the three young men of the Tang family'." Li Mowen, as the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, knows these things well.

Seeing that Li Mowen said something interesting, Li Ang couldn't help but look at the stage and said, "I don't know what the other three people are." Please also ask Master Li for advice. ”

Seeing Li Ang and the people around him looking at him, Li Mowen chuckled lightly and looked at the oldest blue-clothed scribe on the stage, "Next to that Zhang Wei is his friend Dai Xiaolou, who was born in a Xinglin family, has a masterful acupuncture and moxibustion technique, and his martial arts are not weak, and he is the most bold of the four talents." ”

"And who are the other two?" Li Ang looked at the other two people on the stage who were smiling and feasting. couldn't help asking, those two people were handsome, and they looked more like talented people than Zhang Wei and Dai Xiaolou beside them.

"The slightly taller one is called Li Guanyu, who was the leader of the four talents in Chang'an last year, handsome and charming, and very popular with the girl's family. He is called Mao Fu next to him, and he is the descendant of Wen Qing Hou Mao Jue, and he loves poetry the most. Li Mowen replied with a smile, "Li Guanyu is good at piano music, Dai Xiaolou is good at chess, Zhang Wei is good at calligraphy, Mao is good at painting, together they are qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, these four talents in Chang'an, have not changed their rankings in the past three years." I don't know if it's still Li Guanyu who wins tonight. ”

Listening to the shouts of the crowd behind him from time to time, Li Ang was a little puzzled. Looking at Li Mowen beside him, he said, "Master Li." What are those people shouting, why don't I understand? ”

"Oh, I forgot to mention it to Brother Li, these four talented people are literary and romantic, they are all home, and they are quite popular with the people of Chang'an. You can read it. Li Mowen looked at the crowd behind him and smiled.

While the two were talking, the four people on the color stage had already started the competition. The four of them are talents, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all capable, but they are good at it, the four of them are first compared to calligraphy and painting, the examiner who came out of the question, drew the peach blossom in the sign holder held by the master of ceremonies, the first formation of the four is to draw a peach blossom painting first, three incense sticks within a limited time, according to the artistic conception, the speed of the pen to determine the ranking.

To Li Ang's surprise, the first to complete the pen was the 'Tang Family's three young people', not Li Mowen's mouth is the most good at painting greasy, but it takes a moment, the other three put down the pen in turn, and the four paintings have their own civil officials who sit on the stage to judge the superiority, and finally set the name of the first greasy.

The master of ceremonies was Jing Zhaoyin's little official, and he was not in a hurry to start the next written test, but ordered someone to pick up the four paintings high, saying that they were sold on the spot, and the money from the sale of the paintings would be used to donate to the poor people in Chang'an City. So the businessmen who wanted to make a name for themselves generously raised the price of the four paintings several times.

"Jing Zhaoyin is doing a good job, huh?" Li Ang looked at the four businessmen who were red at the end and stepped down with four paintings, shook his head and sighed, this Jing Zhaoyin caught the greedy temperament of these businessmen, and sold the four temporary paintings for a good price, this way of making money is not unwise.

"Listening to Brother Li's tone, it seems that he is a little dissatisfied with Jing Zhaoyin!" Li Mowen looked at Li Ang, who suddenly sighed beside him, and asked with a frown.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I think of the money from this charity sale, I don't know how much of it will help the poor in the end, but..."Li Ang shook his head and sighed lightly.

"What Brother Li said is very true!" Li Mowen also sighed and said, in the end, most of the proceeds from these charity sales still went into the pockets of Jing Zhaoyin's upper and lower officials, and it was only one-tenth or twoths of the land used on the people.

Between the two sighed, the four people on the stage compared to the calligraphy, this time the four of them competed to be just a fast word, the original four people's calligraphy has their own good field, it is difficult to distinguish between the superior, only who writes faster, this time, the pen walks the dragon and snake, the pen is like flying, but half a stick of incense, it has been written in a thousand words of the competition, at this time the three people next to him only wrote half of it.

"Only fast is not broken, the name of 'Kuaishou' Tang San is really worthy of its reputation, compared to last year, it is still a little faster!" Listening to the whispers from several booksellers behind him, Li Ang understood why Tang San Zhang Wei's name was so loud, it turned out that in the Chang'an Book Market last year, although the most popular thing was Li Guanyu's "Hui Ming Ji", but Zhang Wei relied on his unbreakable kung fu, but he also fought with him.

The four thousand-character essays were completed, and as usual, they were sold by the Jing Zhao Yin master of ceremonies in the name of charity sales, saying that they were for the enlightenment of the children in the audience, and they were sold at a good price.

"Master Li, I think this Jing Zhaoyin is like cheating money in the name of the four great talents!" Li Ang looked at Li Guanyu and the others on the stage who had already begun to solve the endgame, and couldn't help but smile at Li Mowen beside him, "I don't know if their used chessboard is also going to be sold!" ”

"Brother Li is right, these four chessboards, as well as chess pieces, are indeed going to be sold for charity." Li Mowen lowered his voice and said, "The four talented people also have a share of the money from this charity sale, otherwise, you think that they have all become family members, and they only come to join in this excitement every year." ”

"This kid also wants to eat!" Li Mowen laughed, at this time, on the stage, Dai Xiaolou, who was the best at playing chess, had already broken the endgame and won the first place in this period, and after a while, the master of ceremonies really sold all the chessboard pieces used by the four people at a high price on the grounds of a charity sale.

In the last moment, the competition was qule, and Li Ang was already in high spirits, but

The four talents did not take turns to play music as in previous years, but to play one together, and the crowd erupted in huge cheers, so that he couldn't help but look at the stage, only to see Dai Xiaolou playing the drums, Zhang Wei blowing the flute, Mao greasy erhu, Li Guanyu stroking the qin, the four musical instruments are perfectly matched, and the tune is tactful and listening.

Li Ang knocked his fingers on the armrest of the chair, but he was also intoxicated by the music, and then Li Mowen next to him laughed and asked, "Brother Li, guess who will sit in the top spot of the four talents tonight?" ”

"Lord Li asked knowingly, isn't it kind!" Li Ang turned his head sideways, looked at Li Mowen and smiled, this Qixi Four Talents Competition was clearly arranged by Jing Zhaoyin, this ranking may have been set a long time ago, with the identity of Li Mowen Jinyiwei's deputy commander, he must have known the final winner for a long time.

"Li Guanyu has been in the lead for three years, and this year's major gambling stalls in Chang'an have opened handicaps, all of which are betting that he can't win, Brother Li might as well bet on some small money, and maybe he can make a lot of money." Li Mowen smiled and said in a low voice.

"Where to place your bets?" Feng Siniang stood up suddenly, and Cen Ji beside her also had a light in her eyes, knowing the inside story, she didn't make much money, she was simply a fool.

"It's over there." Li Mowen smiled and pointed to a wooden platform in the distance. Li Ang, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Don't let it rain too much, it won't be good for people to see." ”

"I know." Feng Siniang smiled at Li Ang, and went to Jing Zhaoyin's handicap with Lin Fengshuang to place a bet.

"Master Li. I don't know who this ranking is, but I'm very interested? Li Ang looked at the four talented people who were still playing in the ensemble on the stage, and suddenly asked.

"Say it, Brother Li will not believe it." Li Mowen also glanced at the four talents on the stage and said, "The four talents have a good personal relationship, and this annual ranking is actually determined by the four of them." ”

"Draw lots." Li Ang smiled dumbly, and then said to Li Mowen. "It looks like Master Li has also made a lot of bets!"

"That's nature, this is a rare opportunity to make a fortune, and how can it be easily abandoned." Li Mowen said with a smile, with a tacit face.

After listening to the music, this time the emcee of Jing Zhaoyin did not sell the instruments used by the four-person ensemble. It was a little surprising to Leon. "Brother Li doesn't need to worry, these four musical instruments, they still have to sell land, but not now." Li Mowen rarely saw Li Ang's somewhat surprised expression, and couldn't help but sell his way.

As he spoke, the master of ceremonies announced the final rankings of several civil officials, and as Li Mowen revealed, the name of the first genius still fell on the head of Li Guanyu last year, which caused a commotion in the crowd, and it seemed that there were many people who bet on the wrong bet.

After deciding on the top talent. But it was time for the master of ceremonies to start selling the land again, but what made Leon dumb again. The musical instruments played by Li Guanyu and others were actually bid for by the four major green buildings in Chang'an, and they watched the four old bustards desperately increase the price for the four musical instruments. made Leon lose his mind a little

"This Qinglou is a vassal and elegant place, if you can buy all the four musical instruments used by these four talents to play together, and make up four beautiful girls, it will be difficult for this business to be prosperous." Li Mowen looked at the red-eared four old bustards in the green building and said with a smile, "Moreover, the one with the highest bid in the end is the owner of this year's Oiran, and they have to fight for whatever they say." ”

"It turns out that this oiran was also smashed with money." Leon listened. couldn't help but shake his head, this Qixi night party was originally a love affair between men and women. The good days of each other's lives were determined by Jing Zhaoyin, but they were forced to be stained with copper stench.

"The women who came out of the four green buildings, in terms of appearance, how can they be so easy to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, and the name of this oiran is naturally obtained by the one with the highest price." Li Mowen also shook his head, "Those rich businessmen are only the name of the Oiran, in fact, in their eyes, this Oiran stripped naked and blew the lamp, which is not much different from the ordinary woman, but it is a little more expensive." ”

"Wine and wealth." Li Ang sighed, "If you drink good wine, I will drink better wine than you, and if you play with girls, I will play with Oiran, and in the end, to put it bluntly, it is vindictive, fighting for face, and it is meaningless." ”

"Easier said than done." Li Mowen shook his head and smiled, "Everyone understands the truth, but there is little that can be done, if I am worth hundreds of millions of dollars now, who dares to show off in front of me, I will immediately smash him to death with gold baht." ”

The two of them talked and laughed, the four Qinglou have been separated, that day the old bustard of the Qinglou of Xianglou bought all the instruments played by the four talents for 100,000 gold baht, although his face was still smiling, but his steps were vain, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Someone bought this instrument, and the next thing was naturally the little Oiran, and then the crowd began to commotion, and the people and horses arranged in the crowd by the four green buildings each made a noise, driving the people around them to shout the name of their own girl.

On the color stage, four palace beauties stepped out, indeed all of them were beautiful women, the four stood in front of Li Guanyu, just waiting for him to pick up the pen on the forehead of one of them, draw the green lotus, it can be regarded as being hit by the oiran.

At this time, the wealthy businessmen who were sitting also stood up, looking at who Li Guanyu, the first genius of Chang'an, would order to be the oiran on the color stage, so that they could grab the first red night of the oiran as soon as possible in the future. For a while, everyone held their breath and waited for Li Guanyu to put pen to paper.

Li Ang had already greeted everyone and was ready to leave, in his opinion, it was pointless to stay any longer, tonight's excitement was finally not in vain, at least Feng Siniang and they had a good time, it was worth the trip.

Just when Li Ang was about to leave the ground, the master of ceremonies of Jing Zhaoyin played tricks again, and actually declared on the color platform that as long as 100,000 gold baht, he could go on stage to compete with Li Guanyu, of course, they could ask someone to help, and if they won the land, they could replace Li Guanyu to order the oiran. As soon as these words came out, the businessmen under the color stage were in an uproar, 100,000 gold baht to point the oiran, for them, 100,000 gold baht is just a small amount, but in front of so many people, the oiran is a big long face affair.

"Brother Li, it seems that tonight is a lively place." Looking at the businessmen who were eager to try, Li Mowen smiled at Li Ang, who was leaving.

"Indeed." Li Ang stopped, looked at the color platform, and also smiled, with a slight contemplation on his face, Jing Zhaoyin suddenly came to such a hand, the 100,000 gold baht spent by the old bustard of Xianglou that day may be lost, it is really a bit abnormal.
