Chapter 22: Taoism in the Clouds
The Oiran Contest only started at the end of the day, but just after the hour, the valley was already overcrowded, and I don't know what happened, but there were a lot of people this year. Standing on a high stone, Zhao Yougong was bored and counted the heads, but he counted them wrongly, hey, can't these people stand there and not move?
"Hey, brother in front, aren't you standing so tall blocking others from watching the show?" The voice was very strange, rough and a little delicate, Zhao Yougong was also surprised, he didn't even hear whether the person behind him was a man or a woman.
Turning his head, a white-robed young man with a shirt in his hand and a jasper crown looked at him with a smile, that person was handsome and extraordinary, but Zhao Yougong pouted angrily, "Fourth sister, you are so bold, you dare to disguise yourself as a man to come here to make trouble!" ”
Zhao Yougong's voice was not small, Zhao Fujin's little face tightened, and he dragged him off the big stone, "Brother Ling, be quiet, the little sister ran out secretly, hehe, it's the first time for the little sister to come to see this Oiran Competition, Brother Ling has to protect it!" ”
Looking at Zhao Fujin's excited little face, Zhao Yougong muttered a few words secretly, a woman is interested in the Oiran Competition, which shows how boring Zhao Fujin is. beckoned, and after Zhao Fujin came over, he sifted Zhao Fujin's wrist and whispered, "Fourth sister, don't talk nonsense for a while, there are many people who know you here, but don't show it!" ”
"Well, you know, Brother Ling, where are we going now? Waiting here? ”
Waiting here? Zhao Yougong raised his eyebrows, looking like he couldn't cry or laugh, there are still dozens of feet away from the big stone to the stage of the competition, what can you see here?
"Hehe, come with my brother, let's find a better place!"
In fact, Zhao Yougong has long been looking for a place to watch the show, there is a slanting path in the valley, but the crossing is blocked by bushes, so ordinary people don't know that there is such a road in the valley, especially those princes, it is even more impossible to know. Zhao Yougong knew this way, and he also heard it from a medicine picker by chance. Climb up the mountain road, just in time to see the platform below, there is such a good place, why squeeze the position with so many people?
Leading Zhao Fujin to turn around, he soon came to the intersection, and opened the bushes, Zhao Yougong glared at a few dogs behind him and said, "You guys guard here, if anyone dares to break in, they will go out!" ”
"Yes!" A few dogs held their chests high, and replied with a lofty voice. Don't look at the momentum, that's also because the doglegs also know that no one will come, this place is so hidden, who would have thought to come here to watch the Oiran competition?
Drilling into the bushes, I felt a burst of coolness, the trees in the valley were lush, the air was naturally good, walking through the narrow mountain road, Zhao Fujin found a place and smiled excitedly, "Brother Ling, come on, you can see it clearly here, it is really a good place!" Look, isn't that Cai Wulang, the third brother, and the ninth brother? ”
Hearing Zhao Fujin shouting like this, Zhao Yougong also leaned over and looked at it with interest, good guy, why not Cai? Gao Fatty, almost all the people in the capital gathered in front of the stage, especially Zhao Gou, this King Kang is only twelve years old this year, and his little face has not yet taken off his immaturity, so he actually came over to watch the Oiran Competition, hey, it seems that the old Zhao family is all merry. Speaking of Zhao Gou, I can't mention Zhao Kai next to him, His Royal Highness King Yun is a rare talent in Tokyo City, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is deeply loved by Zhao Ji, and it is precisely because of his existence that Zhao Huan's position as the prince is in jeopardy.
In fact, it can't be said how good Zhao Kai is, it can only be said that Zhao Huan is too bad, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a cowardly personality and indecisiveness, and he doesn't even have a specific job so far, which shows how much Zhao Ji is not optimistic about him.
Looking at the crowd below, Zhao Yougong inadvertently saw a person who shouldn't be here. In the corner of the high platform, a white-robed man holding a long sword looked at the white clouds above his head expressionlessly, and beside him, an elegant woman said something. The woman pulled a bun, her face was round, her eyebrows were beautiful, and a butterfly ribbon was held behind her, which was really beautiful and refined. This little lady is the legendary Meng **? Hehe, Brother Dugu is so beautiful.
Zhao Yougong laughed maliciously in his heart, and even a strange smile appeared on his face, Zhao Fujin heard a sneer beside him, turned his head and reached out to push Zhao Yougong's shoulder, "Brother Ling, what are you laughing at?" Why are you smiling so treacherously? ”
"The fourth sister is so domineering, aren't you allowed to laugh for your brother?"
"Hmph, it's just that you're smiling too ugly, do you really plan to give all the peony flowers to that Nian slave?"
"If you don't give it to Nian Nu'er, do you want to give it to Master Li?" Zhao Yougong squinted, still with a cheap expression, they blinked, Zhao Fujin snorted, turned around and didn't bother to say.
I don't know why Zhao Fujin is so angry, her father often goes to Master Li's to mess around, what is wrong with him Zhao Yougong going to Nian Nu'er's bed. Walking two steps and touching Zhao Fujin's shoulder, Zhao Yougong whistled softly, "Hehe, the fourth sister didn't come to the stage, if the fourth sister came to the stage, my brother would definitely buy all the peony flowers and give them to you." ”
What woman doesn't like to listen to good words? Zhao Fujin, who was less than fourteen years old, was even more difficult to accept, she turned her head and pouted Zhao Yougong, "Brother Ling is used to being flamboyant!" ”
After laughing twice, Zhao Fujin's eyebrows frowned, "Brother Ling, you shouldn't sell the land in Tongxu Town to Chai Keyan, if it's someone else, my little sister can help you get it back." ”
The situation of the Chai family is very special, if it is not for treason, the descendants of the royal family will not be able to trouble the Chai family, so Zhao Fujin can't even help Zhao Yougong play a scoundrel.
Looking at Zhao Fujin's frowning little face, Zhao Yougong straightened his chest and laughed, pointing at Zhao Fujin's Yao nose, he said in a strange voice, "The fourth sister actually has such thoughts?" ”
"you, if it weren't for Brother Ling, the little sister wouldn't be too lazy to care!" Zhao Fujin said this, and he was a little helpless, in fact, except for Zhao Yougong who needed her, which of the other brothers and sisters could use her? Don't say that the land has been sold, those people have their own pockets, why do they need to sell the land?
"Thank you for my brother first, the fourth sister, don't say it, when I sold the land, I still thought about getting money and didn't admit it, but I didn't expect that it would be the Lord of Cheshire, so it's bad luck for my brother!"
Zhao Yougong said lightly, Zhao Fujin raised his little face and glared at him angrily, this is the real Brother Ling, hey, it's a pity that he made a good calculation, but he ran into Chai Keyan, an outlier.
Chatting with Zhao Fujin, he had come to the time before he knew it, and at this time, a gong sounded, and the long-awaited Oiran Contest finally began.
There are naturally more than two Oiran in Tokyo, in addition to the two major lines of Li Shishi and Cui Niannu, there are several others, such as Liu Yingying, Nie Jin'er, and Zhou Jie'er, who are not easy to get along with, so compared to it, it can definitely be regarded as a hundred flowers competing for beauty, and the group gathers.
At the beginning of the competition, the chief reviewer is required to read an opening sentence as usual. As the chief reviewer, Li Gang was reluctant in every way, but he was a courtier, and he couldn't resist the will of the saint, so he spread out the silk paper in his hand, and he read the pre-written articles. Thousands of people below listened, but their eyes were staring straight behind the high platform.
Hey, it seems that all men are the same, who cares about Li Boji at this time, the old gentleman hurry up and invite the beauty up after reading.
Li Gang retreated, the gong sounded, and several Oiran ladies moved the lotus step lightly, and slowly walked to the front desk, and for a while the stage was colorful and beautiful. The women didn't feel it, but the men were already holding their breath excitedly, beautiful, really beautiful, especially Master Li and Cui Niannu who were standing in the middle. These two people are white and red, one is cold, the other is amorous, one is like frost, and the other is smiling like a flower. If Master Li is ice, then Nian Nu'er is fire, and in the end, will the ice water extinguish the fire, or will the fire steam out the water stains?
I don't know who howled, and a voice instantly sounded from the audience, "General Fei General Fei"
Looking at the agitated crowd and listening to the deafening shouts, Zhao Yougong's smile was hidden, and a kind of worry followed.
This is Master Li, she doesn't need to smile, she doesn't need any expression, as long as she stands there, she has already conquered the man's heart. Sometimes even Zhao Yougong thinks that Master Li shouldn't be in the Deyue Tower, she is more like a fairy in the snow who falls from the Milky Way and tosses and turns.
I know it in my heart, but is it bad to miss a slave? She is not bad at all, compared to the teacher who does not eat the fireworks of the world, she is closer to Hongchen and understands the heart of a man better.
The first scene, the painting skills, the time is one hour.
There are a total of seven Oiran girls, they sit in front of the desk under the service of their respective maids, laying paper, grinding, and coloring, all of them are so familiar. A man over 30 years old held a blank piece of paper in his hand, and then shouted, "The first scene, painting skills, is titled 'Taoist Temple in the Clouds', everyone, please think about it!" ”
"Daoist Temple in the Clouds?" Not only the Oiran ladies are pondering, but even the talented scholars in the audience are also thinking, pondering the exam questions and showing their talents, which is also another charm of the Oiran Competition. Coming here is not only to see beauties, but also to solve problems is also a great pleasure for talented people.
What is Taoism? From high-ranking officials and nobles, down to peddlers and pawns, I'm afraid that no one doesn't know Taoism, since everyone knows it, everyone knows it, then this exam question will not be so simple. It seems that this comparison is not about painting skills, but about artistic conception, otherwise there would be no such questions.
Some of the Oiran ladies on the stage frowned and pondered, some lifted their pens to paint, and there was no noise in the audience, and no one would be willing to disturb this quiet environment.
The valley was unusually quiet, but a trace of anger appeared on Zhao Yougong's face, because not long after the game began, he heard a burst of shouting and scolding from the intersection of the mountain road.
"Brother Ling, go and see, don't let anything happen!"
"Hmm!"
Zhao Yougong nodded, turned around and walked towards the intersection, he wanted to see which big man dared to make trouble here, it was really weird!
