The imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty was divided into the southern list and the northern list, which shows the depth of prejudice between the literati in the north and the south. It is the same as the unfairness between candidates from Beijing and Shanghai and candidates from Henan and Shandong in the college entrance examination.

Although most of the people in the court were southerners, the Jingjing and literati in Beijing were very happy to declare the ugliness of Jiangnan scholars, and some were even happy to do it or couldn't ask for it.

Although Huayun Opera Club and Huayun Entertainment News have not performed or sold in Beijing, the speed and frequency of "The Legend of Green Peony" in Beijing are even faster than in Jiangnan. When the northern literati drank and gathered, they often pretended to be the image of Liu Wuliu in the opera, and joked and ridiculed.

Qinhuai River is the vanguard camp of Ming fashion popularity. However, if there are any novel costumes, dress-ups, or articles, poems, and operas, as long as they are circulated among the Qinglou Flower Workshops on the banks of the Qinhuai River, they will soon become famous throughout the country, and everyone will be the first to imitate or read them.

"The Legend of Green Peony" is a big hit, although Gu Hengbo and others, who are also practitioners in the entertainment industry, do not agree with the ugly image of Jiangnan scholars portrayed in the opera, but they are very interested in the troupe performing this popular opera.

"Master, Sister Gu of Meilou invited the concubine to go, and the concubine was ......" Chen Yuanyuan timidly asked Zhu Shunming for instructions, staring at Zhu Shunming with big eyes and a look of anticipation.

The good eating and living environment and relaxed atmosphere make Chen Yuanyuan grow and develop very exquisitely. A face that can be broken by blowing, white and red skin, a delicate and beautiful face, and a body full of youthful atmosphere...... A little beauty.

After getting acquainted, Chen Yuanyuan was no longer afraid of Zhu Shunming, and even deliberately provoked Zhu Shunming. Maybe she likes Zhu Shunming's doting eyes around her, or maybe she begins to use her sultry talent to start competing for favor.

"You want to go?"

Chen Yuanyuan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, very cute.

"Then go ahead."

"Master, you are so good......" Chen Yuanyuan cheered, approached Zhu Shunming, jumped on him, stretched his neck and kissed Zhu Shunming heavily on the face, and said shyly: "I knew that the master would agree...... When Yuanyuan grew up, he also gave birth to a few sons to the master. ”

She Miaohua and other women were pregnant, which gave Chen Yuanyuan a trace of pressure. Although she was weak, as the concubine of the Israelite servant, she had also heard the story of the tragic fate of the old and decrepit concubine who had no heirs, and began to clumsy and cute to flatter and compete for favor.

Meilou is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are literati who call it a maze. First, to paraphrase the name of Emperor Yang of Sui Yangzhou's courtyard, and secondly, when you enter the Meilou, you are like being fascinated, not only fascinated by the scenery in the building, but also fascinated by the female style in the building.

"The water is the wave of the eyes, and the mountains are the gathering of the eyebrows. If you want to ask pedestrians where to go, the eyebrows are bright. A small poem takes into account the enchantment and infinite style of Hengbo.

At that time, Jiangnan, if he had never been to Meilou, he would not dare to claim to be a merry and talented man, and there was a taste of "being a person who does not know Gu Hengbo, and it is in vain to call himself a talent".

It is rare that Meilou did not entertain literati today, but a group of Huafang sisters with similar fame, talent and personality gathered.

Gu Hengbo held his hair in a high bun, the dark green step swayed gently, the pale green long skirt opened very low, the crimson bandeau reflected the snow-white chest with rouge, the finger-sized pearl necklace docked on the plateau, reflecting each other, a pair of bright black eyes, looking forward to the spring flowing, charming and natural.

"Brother Gu, is Chen Yuanyuan's singing really amazing even to you? You're the number one in Nanqu. ”

A handsome and fair-skinned scholar on the side looked suspicious and a little disdainful.

"Brother Liu, don't look at Chen Yuanyuan's young age, look at her singing, she must have been immersed in Kunqu Opera since she was a child, and she has practiced hard for a long time, plus she was born with a good voice, over time, even if she exceeds that of a brother, it is not impossible."

"If she follows everyone like Brother Gu, she may be able to become famous. It's a pity that she fell into a country theater troupe...... Brother Gu, since you are so optimistic about her, why don't you buy her and be your successor? ”

Kou Baimen said crisply: "Liu Ruyi, I want someone to have a good family, you can't bear to let her fall into prostitution?" Who do you like to be sent on the Qinhuai River? ”

"You ......" Liu Ru was so angry that her eyebrows were upside down, and her little face turned pale.

Among the sisters, Liu Ru is seventeen years old, the oldest, once married, and then her husband died, and returned to the joy field to continue the fireworks life.

Kou Baimen said a word about Liu Ruye's sore spot. Who would like to be sent to a life where they have no one to rely on? If you can eat and drink, you won't go back to your old business.

But after tasting a luxurious life and falling into the dust again, Liu Ruye's personality has become somewhat perverse and a little extreme.

Kou Baimen was only eleven years old, but he was dressed very enchantingly and gorgeously, with bright red lips, a puffy face, dark eyebrows and eyes, and big earrings.

Kou Baimen was born in a prostitute family, and her future was determined as soon as she was born, and she was trained according to the standards of prostitutes since she was a child. People who have no future will be unmotivated, indulgent, exiled, and do not care about the gossip of the world.

Heavy makeup, foul language, profligate, unruly...... Maybe she wants to live a brilliant and short life like fireworks.

"Don't quarrel," Li Xiangjun persuaded: "Sister Yuanyuan hasn't come yet, it all depends on her own thoughts." If she is willing, she will naturally let Sister Yokoba teach her well. If she doesn't want to, she can't force her to buy and sell......"

Li Xiangjun is the same age as Kou Baimen, eleven years old, but he is young and lovely. Li Xiangjun's mother Li Zhenli is a famous landlord in Qinhuai River, and Meixianglou is also a wealthy and powerful man in Qinhuai River.

Li Zhenli cultivated Li Xiangjun as an oiran, and taught her words, deeds, manners, clothing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The weak Li Xiangjun already has a great reputation in the Qinhuai River.

There are men who like Lori who have long coveted Li Xiangjun. Hou Fangyu was so confused by Li Xiangjun that he couldn't extricate himself, and he couldn't get it.

There was a loud noise outside the "bang......", followed by the noise, shouting, and fighting, and soon disappeared again.

"Squeak......

The door was pushed open.

A head poked in, revealing an excellent face, and then the small body jumped in, and said with a smile: "Hello sisters, little sister Chen Yuanyuan is polite." ”

"You are Chen Yuanyuan? It's so good-looking. Kou Baimen approached Chen Yuanyuan, took her hand, and said with a smile: "We just happened to be talking about you." Sister Hengbo praises you for singing Kunqu opera well, and in time, you can become the successor of Sister Hengbo......"

Chen Yuanyuan said a little shyly: "Yuanyuan has heard of Sister Hengbo when he was in Wujiang, and he has always taken Sister Hengbo as an example......

"Who are you? Get out. Can anyone come in to Meilou? Liu scolded him.

Chen Yuanyuan jumped back to Zhu Shunming's side, made a small gesture of sticking out his tongue, and said embarrassedly: "This is Yuanyuan's master, don't worry about Yuanyuan, come and take a look." ”

Several people in the room looked at the two of them in surprise, they didn't expect Chen Yuanyuan to marry at such a young age.

Zhu Shunming was dressed in cloth clothes, his skin was dark, and he didn't look like a rich person or a scholar. How could he have such a stunning appearance as Chen Yuanyuan?

Zhu Shunming glanced around at a few people in the room, and said lightly: "You ladyboy can come, why can't I come?" Is this the Longtan Tiger's Den or the Imperial Palace? ”
