102.Chapter 102
This year's Oiran Contest is indeed a little crazy, and Princess Danyang also feels that the beginning of all this madness comes from the excitement of Duhe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, when she heard that a businessman named Shen Tong had smashed two thousand pieces at once, she realized that this year's Oiran Contest was not simple.
Princess Danyang can be regarded as Li Shimin's advisor, so she knows a lot of things in the court better than others, and she may even know some secrets that others don't know.
Fireworks Lane is where the magnates of Chang'an City gather, and the news here is very well-informed, so many magnates like to gather power here.
Judging from the current desperate money-throwing behavior, it is certain that some forces of the imperial court have participated in it, and they are throwing money at all costs, just to get the honor of Oiran.
But why are they doing it?
And then there is that Duhe, he threw so much money in, who is he helping, whose person is he?
Princess Danyang knew that Du He's brother Du Gou was very close to Li Tai, the king of Wei, but she had never heard that Du He had also had a relationship with the king of Wei.
Thinking of these, Princess Danyang felt that the muddy waters in Fireworks Lane were very deep, and the purpose of her trip was nothing compared to these.
In fact, although things like the Oiran Contest are popular in Chang'an City, only some people who like to be lively will come here to have fun, and the probability of people like Princess Danyang coming here is very small, and the reason why he came here is because when she was talking to Li Shimin about the Hanmen scholars, she suddenly mentioned that if many Hanmen children come to Chang'an City and can't find a way to invest in the bank, they will compose poems for some dusty women in Fireworks Lane, and there are many powerful people in Fireworks Lane, if their poems are really good, It is also possible to be known through this way, and then get referrals.
Princess Danyang's Gu Tiao Pavilion has the function of being responsible for recruiting talents for the imperial court, but most of the people who go to Gu Tiao Pavilion are from families and powerful sons, and those children of poor families can't afford to go to Gu Tiao Pavilion.
Therefore, after talking to Li Shimin about this, Li Shimin asked Danyang women to disguise themselves as men to come to Fireworks Alley, if they found that there were good poems, they might as well secretly write them down and give them to him, and he would send someone to investigate, if he was really talented, he would make an exception for admission.
The matter of selecting a poor scholar for the imperial court is not a big deal, but it is a good harvest to figure out that someone in the court has planted forces in Fireworks Alley.
Thinking like this, Jiangnan Pavilion's Lian Hongyao has already come to the stage to paint.
That Lian Hongyao wore a red dress and sat in front of the canvas to paint indifferently, because this was a very quiet and elegant thing, so the surroundings were not as noisy as before at this time, but even so, those who liked Lian Hongyao still sent flowers one after another.
As long as you are top-notch in these aspects, you can get the honor you deserve, but in this fireworks alley, compared with dance and music, the three things of chess, calligraphy and painting are not very respected.
Men come here to seek solace, who wants to see you paint?
Therefore, although Lian Hongyao has many supporters, because the painting is not very popular in Fireworks Alley, there are not many people who are really willing to pay a lot of money for it, and Lian Hongyao has always been cold, who would spend a lot of money to support a woman who has never given herself a good face?
Lian Hongyao has been painting, and she doesn't care much about these, she has already got more than a thousand flowers, but compared with Gongsun Sanniang and Qin Qin, it is still much worse.
Princess Danyang sat on the balcony and watched Lian Hongyao's painting carefully, of course, she also secretly compared her appearance with Lian Hongyao in her heart, she felt that Lian Hongyao's appearance was still good, but it was a little cold and difficult to approach.
Such a woman is generally wary of many people, Princess Danyang is very curious, why did she give Tang Zhou a painting that day?
Thinking of the painting, Princess Danyang went to see the painting made by Lian Hongyao, which was not a very large canvas, and at this time Lian Hongyao had already made most of it, and she painted a spring scene on the canvas.
There are mountains and rivers in the painting, the mountains are in the distance, and the water is in front of them, these are the artistic conception of landscape painting to the fullest, and in addition, a lot of spring flowers are painted around the waterfront, and there is a small bird with half of its body exposed on a green willow, this is a very simple landscape painting, but whether it is painting skills or brush and ink, it has reached an indescribable artistic conception.
Although Princess Danyang didn't have a good impression of Lian Hongyao because she gave Tang Zhou a painting before, she couldn't help but like it when she saw such an elegant little painting.
Compared with the previous sword dance or piano skills, she thinks that this Lian Hongyao, who paints quietly, is what she likes.
So after she finished reading the painting, she had already ordered someone to send more than 100 flowers to the Lian Hongyao, and a hundred yuan was nothing to Princess Danyang, but as soon as Princess Danyang said this, the people next to her immediately understood what Princess Danyang meant.
So many people in front of Princess Danyang didn't send flowers, but now they just sent Lian Hongyao, the intention is self-evident, right?
Tang Zhou was a little puzzled by Princess Danyang's behavior, so when Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao bought flowers to give away, Tang Zhou didn't do anything, he didn't know if this was a bureau set up by Princess Danyang to test him, if so, if he bought flowers to support Lian Hongyao, wouldn't it be just the right trick?
Then when the two get along, she still has to squeeze herself?
It's terrible to think about, so Tang Zhou didn't make any response to this, and in his opinion, he didn't have any friendship with that Lian Hongyao, so there was no need to spend money to support him.
It's just that just when Tang Zhou felt like this, Princess Danyang turned her head to look at Tang Zhou: "I heard that Lian Hongyao gave Xiao Hou Ye a painting, if you don't say anything, is it a little unreasonable?" ”
Tang Zhou's heart sank, and he secretly thought that Princess Danyang must have seen that he was not fooled, so he came to lure him into being fooled.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhou smiled lightly and said, "How does Her Royal Highness the princess think I should express it?" ”
"You ......" Danyang originally wanted Tang Zhou to pay for it, but he thought that Tang Zhou's money was spent on the inn in the West Market, so he suggested: "You can make a poem to make the cheap red medicine popular." ”
Although she doesn't like cheap red medicine, for this kind of elegant and cold woman, Princess Danyang still feels that she should get more support.
Seeing this, Tang Zhou was a little determined in his heart, this request was said by Danyang, so even if Danyang made trouble for himself in the future, it would be unreasonable.
"Since Princess Danyang asks for this, let's make a poem below."
