Chapter 61: Qinglou Elegance
The silver Mo Xiaofei has, and it will cost him to marry Guo Bocheng, so he found a table with a good location.
The surrounding warblers are singing and dancing in a bright color, and it is a good place to drink, chant poems, and talk about life and ideals.
Although Guo Bocheng is only a chief scribe, he has followed Wang Liancheng for many years, and his knowledge should be more and wider than ordinary people, and he wants to have a deeper understanding of the Qing Dynasty, so Mo Xiaofei invited a good teacher.
"Lord Guo, Mo Xiaofei is new to officialdom, and I don't know what power and power there are in the Qing Dynasty, and I hope to give you a lesson or two, and you can consider it more in the future."
Guo Bocheng doesn't know if he has a city government Mo Xiaofei doesn't know, but he is still good to Mo Xiaofei, unlike Wang Liancheng, who doesn't let Mo Xiaofei know anything, like treating Mo Xiaofei as an outsider.
Guo Bocheng said, "Mo Dianshi will definitely be able to find a better errand when he returns to Wuxian this time, so as to set foot in the real officialdom, I am inconvenient to tell the governor what he means at this moment, but when it comes to the general trend of the world, Mo Dianshi should indeed know more about Lu Dao, which will help him to experience in the officialdom in the future." ”
In the entire Qing Dynasty, in addition to Emperor Shangde, the largest parties were the Shen Party, the Great Emperor's Party, and the Yizheng Wang.
The leading figure of the Shen Party is the imperial concubine Shen Yanyun, who is in charge of the harem internally, and has his elder brother Shen Shoufu who is involved in various places externally, and the party henchmen are all over the province from the capital to the provinces, because of Shen Yanyun's pillow wind in the ears of Emperor Shangde, the Shen Party is the fastest developing force in recent years.
Now Emperor Shangde only has two sons, Shen Yanyun is trying his best to sacrifice another prince for the Qing Kingdom, but his stomach has not moved for several years, if he can really give birth to three princes, with the thousands of favors of Emperor Shangde, it is not difficult to become the prince of the Great Qing Kingdom.
If that time comes, Shen Yanyun will definitely be even more unscrupulous and cover the sky with one hand.
The Great Prince Party has the support of the Minister of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, but recently there have been joys and sorrows, the joy is that the queen has been beaten into the cold palace, and the whereabouts of the second prince are unknown, even if they are found, they will only be thrown into the cold palace and cannot enter or leave for life.
The worry is that after Shen Yanyun fell out of favor with the queen, the next target was Wang Guifei, the mother of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was the target to be eradicated in her eyes.
The power of the last party is the "Zheng" Ben Erqing, the imperial uncle of Emperor Shangde and the younger brother of the first emperor, who was already a relative of the emperor and the country, and was also the minister of military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition.
Above the court, Ben Erqing's power is the greatest, this person is also the most shrewd person, Lin Huantian has a deep friendship with him, when Lin Huantian happened, Ben Erqing immediately pointed fingers, nothing was involved, its shrewdness lies in the fact that Shangde's nephew wants to move down, Ben Erqing stood beside Emperor Shangde and waved his flag and shouted.
Mo Xiaofei listened to it for a long time, and he already had a potential plan in his heart, the emperor Zhengde was in the center of the drawing, standing on three legs, and the most powerful was the king of parliament, Ben Erqing, he must have known in his heart that Shen Yanyun was devouring the ambition of the court, but the time had not yet come, Ben Erqing was waiting for an opportunity to retreat.
And the eldest prince and Wang Guifei are quite embarrassed, at present, the second prince is no different from being deposed, and the emperor is not established as the crown prince, which is enough to see Shen Yanyun's advocacy beside him, and he can only stand in front of the public if he continues to sit still.
However, when it comes to Wang Guifei, Mo Xiaofei still has some speculation in his heart, is it not the concubine he has come into contact with, if this is the case, the mother and son are really miserable, and they must beware of Shen Yanyun's tricks day and night when staying in the palace.
Mo Xiaofei asked, "By the way, Lord Guo, who is standing behind the Governor?" ”
When asked the substantive question, Guo Bocheng did not say as much as he did just now, and said with a smile, "When you should know the Dao, you will naturally know the Dao, and when you shouldn't know the Dao, Mo Dian Shixiu will ask again." I don't hear anything about this, if the governor hears it, I don't think he will have any good impression of you, you just need to serve the governor and become his confidant, and you will naturally be able to position your position in the officialdom more clearly. ”
After a period of greetings, Mo Xiaofei noticed a different kind of rules among the thousands of charms.
The person who can come here to have fun is not a rich man who spends money, so silver is not omnipotent here, since the association outside the door proves itself to be elegant, and it is inseparable from the word Ya to find a girl here.
Ordinary girls only need to spend silver, and if you want to find a first-class woman here, silver is only one of them, and more importantly, you have to be talented.
The girls like to dance and write ink, these days there are thousands of charming couplets held, different degrees of difficulty, poetry to meet guests, can be a good work, in one day to crown the audience, you can enter the room of the top girl that night, touch the knees and sit, listen to music and poetry, candle night talk.
Mo Xiaofei can be regarded as a full reader of poetry and books, and the knowledge in his stomach is much stronger than that of people in this era.
Mo Xiaofei said, "Lord Guo, are you interested in giving it a try, there are more than a dozen couplets on the steps above, and you can break them one by one to enter the Oiran room." ”
Guo Bocheng is a chief scribe, and naturally he knows poetry, but he really has no interest in beauty, he is low-key, Guo Bocheng is just looking for some floating feelings when he is young and frivolous.
Guo Bocheng said, "I won't go, I'm not young anymore, I can't do this kind of thing to ask flowers and willows, taste the wine, and look at the boundless spring around me." It's Mo Dianshi who is young and talented, you can give it a try, brother, I'm here to help you. ”
Mo Xiaofei looked carefully, there were about twenty steps on the steps, the more you went up, the more words on the upper link, the more difficult it was to get out of the lower link, these upper links were like a guide, until the door of a room on the pavilion, the room must be the top card here.
Mo Xiaofei is not here to cultivate his sentiments, he just wants to see what the most popular girl in the thousands of charms looks like, is it embarrassing to compare Du Bangyue and the concubine Niangniang, if there is Anya's appearance, it is enough to be glamorous and overwhelm the grass.
At this time, there were already several people in the hall who were eager to try, but it was better to act than to move, compared to the people who had already walked up the steps, these people who were coaxing in the hall were really timid, or rather, they did not dare to take the stage without this talent.
There are two people who walk up the steps, one is a big man with five big and three thick, and the other is small in stature, and he also holds a folding fan in his hand, Mo Xiaofei looked over, this person is thinly dressed, and he doesn't know what to do, what is even more ridiculous is that the folding fan in his hand is open and fanned, this guy is too good.
However, there is a fan in his hand, as if he is confident, he has already gone up to the fifth order, and the strong man with five big and three thick feet stood on the second order, touching the back of his head and thinking hard.
"Summer rain, summer rain, summer rain should be right? The people in front of me have already used it, and I can't repeat it, which really stumps me. The strong man muttered to himself.
Mo Xiaofei stepped forward and looked at the upper link on the first order, a Xia character.
Mo Xiaofei asked, "This good man, how did you deal with Xia Zi just now?" ”
"Oh, that person just now got a winter word right, and the rules can't be repeated, so I got a spring word right and came to the second order, but this summer rain is really too difficult."
The strong man is obviously not an intellectual, and such a simple couplet can't match, and he still wants to see the Oiran, which is really wishful thinking.
Mo Xiaofei said, "Didn't you just say a spring word, in fact, summer rain can be a spring breeze!" ”
The strong man looked like he suddenly realized, "Oh, that's wonderful, the winter fog that the person above just now, let's have a truth for the spring breeze, a reason, a reason, Ha Luha, go up to the third order." ”
"Wait, you can't go up, the spring breeze is not right for you, but this son can continue, you, just continue to stay in the second order and think about it." A girl was on the sidelines in front of the adjudicator.
Mo Xiaofei was here to participate, so he naturally stood happily on the third step, and on a piece of red paper hanging here, the words "mountain colored" were written, and the number of words was too small and not too particular, so he opened his mouth and said, "The water is silent." ”
When Mo Xiaofei was in full swing, the small man in front of him was also slowly advancing, but the speed was obviously not as fast as Mo Xiaofei's, so soon the two met at the twelfth order.
Mo Xiaofei looked at this person, swept it up close with the eyes of a modern person, and soon found that this was a woman, disguised as a man.
The IQ of the ancient people is worrying, do people really rely on clothes, what they wear outside the body is what they are, this person's eyebrows are clear, protruding forward and backward, and there is a little rouge on his face, especially the pair of apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, he knew that she was a girl at a glance, and the people here actually thought she was a man.
Mo Xiaofei is a modern person, and he does not have the traditional idea of male superiority and female inferiority, but after coming to the Qing Dynasty, he was somewhat influenced by the people around him, and said with a smile, "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented." ”
The woman dressed as a man looked at Mo Xiaofei puzzled, and didn't think about herself at all.
Looking at the couplet, the woman said, "The boat row is on the shore to welcome the green Lang, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, you are right in this couplet, the bull's head is not the horse's mouth." ”
Mo Xiaofei really thinks highly of a woman's IQ, and talented people are not wise.
As soon as a discerning person heard what she said, she was really confused or pretending to be confused.
Mo Xiaofei hooked his fingers, "You want to hear the next link, come, get closer, I'll tell you......"
The woman is getting closer and closer, completely defenseless against Mo Xiaofei, a literati and a gentleman, where can it be bad.
The woman's slightly bulging chest was about to stick to Mo Xiaofei, Mo Xiaofei's lips also reached the woman's ear, and she said softly, "It's not easy for a woman to come to this level, if you have this talent, you should go home and teach your husband and children, don't show your face outside." ”
The woman's face was flushed, and her delicate little face had a unique flavor with fierce eyebrows, half male and half female appearance, looking at Mo Xiaofei incredibly.
Mo Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, when did it be, this woman was still calm, and whispered, "Why are you staring at me, are you a ......man?"
"I am your ancestor!" The woman's appearance is getting more and more fierce.
Mo Xiaofei believes that this woman is definitely the best in being unreasonable, first of all, she is bold, she dares to dress as a man, and she is not afraid of being given tofu.
"The boat row is on the secluded shore to welcome the green Lang, and the bridge lies on the golden wave with a rainbow!"
After Mo Xiaofei finished speaking, he went up to the next level on his own, no one stopped or thought it was inappropriate, Mo Xiaofei had no choice, he just wanted to distance himself from the girl as soon as possible.
