But where Liu Ru comes out to greet guests, Tianxianglou is always a gathering of guests, after all, it is a new Oiran, and it is still a Qing official, and the scholars have always been very keen on the stories of talented and beautiful women, and the literati are light, and they all boast of their outstanding talents, of course, they will feel that they can be favored by Liu Ruyi, and fantasize that they will become Liu Ruyi's guests.

There is no true love on the Fengyue field, and the talented women who leave their names in history are certainly amorous, but as for the talents, they are just a one-night joy of the picture, and they can talk eloquently and even show loyalty in front of the beauties, once they become the guests of the scene, the beauties will also be abandoned like a shoe, and those who boast of being merry will no longer flock to them, and the beauties have gradually reached the point of "yellow flowers and thin people", and are gradually replaced by the new Oiran, and finally can only "marry the boss to be a businesswoman".

An Oiran of Qinlou Chu Pavilion, to take advantage of the fame to take advantage of the youth and splendor in those years, just like Liu Ruyi, she has just got the Oiran now, and the sons and brothers who see her and are not willing to give up on her abound, these people can be said to spend money like dirt, Tianxianglou will also use her as a living signboard recently, Liu Ru is as long as he comes out to meet the guests, and strokes the qin, he can make Tianxianglou fame and fortune. And those self-proclaimed sons don't feel distressed to spend money, after all, everyone wants to be Liu Ruyi's first benefactor, this is the market effect, Brother Childe is not only for beauty, but also for fame, as for Tianxianglou, it is also for profit, each takes what he needs.

Ji Ning followed Tang Xie into the Tianxiang Building, and the two went directly to the highest five floors, it was the beginning of the lanterns, and the inside and outside of the Tianxiang Building were already bustling and noisy, with many guests, most of the guests were in the private room, but they were also waiting for Liu Ru to come out to perform, so as to cheer together.

On the way upstairs, Tang Xie was also talking about Liu Ruyi, and he was very enthusiastic about it: "...... There are a lot of people who came to cheer today, Brother Ji is a talented and talented person, and he has won the favor of Miss Liu, so don't let us lose face. ”

Ji Ning said indifferently: "If you don't want to lose face, you still have to look at Brother Ziqian's purse, right?" ”

Tang Xie was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, and said, "What Brother Ji said is really straightforward. But that's also the case, today's banquet will be held in the banquet hall on the fifth floor of Tianxiang Building, and after watching Miss Liu's performance together, she will come up to toast in person, and then Brother Ji will have the opportunity to show his talent in front of Miss Liu. ”

This time it was Ji Ning's turn to shake his head slightly, it was obviously not a good deed to be able to do it in front of a woman, not to mention that his talent did not need to be shown in front of Liu Ruyi. What if he gets the favor of Liu Ruye? The top card is always to seek benefits for Tianxianglou, he will not spend money in Tianxianglou, Liu Ru is not an innocent little girl like Yuling, and he will not believe that there is true love in the party, then the result is that he can't afford Liu Ruyi's ransom silver, and Liu Rushi will not stay with him for a long time......

Since you already knew that there would be no result, it was better not to give too much emotion from the beginning.

Ji Ning could only remind himself in his heart.

Arrived at the banquet hall on the fifth floor of the highest Tianxiang Building, in addition to Han Yu, Xie Tai and Song Rui who saw at noon, there were several people from the previous session in Jinling City, as well as the candidates who participated in the township examination together this year, Tang Xie introduced Ji Ning one by one, in fact, many people don't need to deliberately introduce, others have heard of Ji Ning's name, and Ji Ning is no stranger to the names of these people.

There were more than a dozen people who came, greeted each other, and each sat down in front of the big round table.

Refreshments are served first, followed by wine and a few side dishes with wine, and finally rich dishes, Ji Ning calculated in his heart, such a banquet may cost six or seven yuan in an ordinary restaurant, and the added value of Tianxianglou's environment and services is also counted, such a banquet will cost ten yuan. After that, there were some additional consumptions, including the girl who called Fuqin, played the tea circle, the color head and the additional head were all counted, and the most important sum was added to the reward that Liu Ru personally came up to toast, and the miscellaneous calculations were calculated, and the consumption of more than a dozen people was to forty or fifty taels of silver.

Tang Xie didn't feel distressed, Ji Ning felt that it was better to have fewer literary meetings, and not everyone could afford it.

If you want to hold a cultural meeting, it is still suitable for a quiet and elegant place like a teahouse, where the consumption is low, and the environment is good, and you can sit down and talk about the past and the present, and you will not be disturbed by foreign objects. And in this kind of place in Tianxianglou, especially in the evening when the warblers and swallows gather, it is always too impetuous, and when they come here to participate in the cultural meeting, what the guests are talking about is not learning, but the wind and snow, and the atmosphere of the literary meeting is lost.

Tang Xie poured a full glass of wine, stood up, and said loudly: "Fellow students, today is the day of the autumn victory, I invite you to come here in the next place to wash the dust for you. ”

"Tongqing!" Everyone present also stood up and toasted together.

After three glasses of salutation, everyone sat down one after another, and Xie Tai was about to open the township test questions, but saw the little girl come in and report: "Son, Miss Liu is already cleaning up, and she is going to come out to perform while talking!" ”

"Okay, brothers, let's move first, and go outside to enjoy the demeanor of Miss Liu Ru, this is the new Oiran of Jinling City, and it is not often seen on weekdays." Tang Xie was very interested, and invited everyone to go outside the railing, and condescendingly saw the wooden platform between the first and second floors of Tianxiang Building, which was also the place where Liu Ru performed.

Liu Ruye's qin has been moved to the table on the wooden platform under the joint lifting of Xiaojuan and a maidservant, and there are six dancers in colorful clothes under the stage, which should be to accompany Liu Ru is piano. And Liu Ru came out after a long time, although he did not hold the pipa and half cover his face, but he also held a small fan, walked to the stage, and saluted the people present.

"Good!"

"Miss Liu, this is everyone's temperament, different from those vulgar fans."

As soon as the beauty appeared, a simple courtesy, a gesture made the guests present intoxicated, and the applause continued.

Liu Ru was calm, and sat down with a light smile, but she hid her slender jade feet under her long skirt, and then reached out to stroke the qin.

To say that Liu Ruye's movements are already very elegant, but Ji Ning feels that Liu Ru lacks a demeanor that everyone should have, and the slowness of her movements can't hide her childish spirit. At this moment, Ji Ning noticed a person standing near the door on the first floor, and was looking up at him at this time, although he was wearing an unfamiliar men's outfit, Ji Ning still recognized at a glance that "he" was Nalan Fuxue who appeared in the master's bedroom of the Ji Mansion last night.

"Strange, why is she here?" Ji Ning was secretly worried in his heart.

Nalan Chuixue also noticed him, and after glancing at him, he moved his gaze to Liu Ruyi, who was performing, and what Liu Ru was singing at this time was still "Water Tune Song Head", which sounded nothing new to Ji Ning.
