readx; The smoke cage is cold, the moon is long, and the sand is long, and the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info businessmen's 'women' don't know the hatred of the country, and they still sing * 'flowers' across the river.

This poem was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu when he crossed the Qinhuai River. At that time, it was an eventful autumn in the late Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns were divided, foreign enemies were around, and the country was already in turmoil. The two banks of the Qinhuai River are still full of lights, and the dignitaries and nobles only know how to indulge in the sound of 'lust', drunk and dreaming of death, and even sing the 'beautiful' words "'jade' tree * 'flower'" of Chen Shubao, the last emperor of the Chen Dynasty more than 200 years ago, unaware that the fate of the queen Chen will soon befall them.

Yet even with such spicy irony, the powerful and short-sighted never knew how to learn from it. Just when the Houjin Whale swallowed North Korea and the 'Mongolian' Gu and the soldiers arrived at Shanhaiguan, and the Central Plains thieves became more and more powerful, the triennial World 'Hua' Kui Contest Finals was finally held in Beijing as scheduled.

This day was the first day of the ambush. During the day, when the sun was scorching, ordinary people were either engaged in the tense expansion project of the Beijing Division, or they were running 'waves' for the livelihood of the whole family, and they were so hot that they were sweaty, but those high-ranking officials and nobles were leisurely hiding in the mansion, eating chilled watermelon, and there were maids and fans beside them, so they were not comfortable and happy.

After dusk, the heat gradually subsided, and the common people had a hard day's work, and all of them rested early; But those gentry and rich people have cultivated enough 'spirits' during the day, but at this time they are active, and they have flocked to the Dashilar area outside the Zhengyang 'gate' to find fun in the "Eight Hutongs". One of the most lively places is naturally the "No. 1 Fan Building of Jingshi", which hosts the "Flower" Kui Competition, Shanglin Garden.

At this time, the street outside Shanglin Yuan had already been crowded by countless cars, horses and sedan chairs. Because this 'flower' contest is even more different from other times, the world-famous "Qin Huai Eight 'Yan'", except for Ma Xianglan, whose soul has passed away, and Chen Yuanyuan, who has taken off his music status, the other six all attended, which is an unprecedented grand scene. In this 'flower' competition, in addition to selecting the "leader of the 'flower'", it is also necessary to select two 'women' who can compete with the six peerless beauties in 'color' arts, and re-make up the number of "eight 'gorgeous'". But anyone who is rich and lustful, and likes to be vassal, who doesn't want to see this big scene?

However, it is not so easy to witness the beauty of "Qin Huai's eight 'Yan'". Just to enter the big 'gate' of Lin Yuan, you have to 'pay' the entrance fee of 1,000 taels of silver per person, and those who reserve seats in the banquet hall start at 5,000 taels, and the best seats in the front row are those with the highest price, which has been fried to 30,000 taels. As for the private room on the second floor, because of its condescending position, you can enjoy the beautiful posture and 'color', and you don't have to crowd together with everyone, so it has a certain 'privacy' and 'privacy', and it is warmly sought after by some people who are unwilling to 'revea' their identities. Renting such a private room for one night actually costs 50,000 taels of silver!

At two o'clock, the time for the finals had not yet arrived, but the banquet hall was already overcrowded. Among them, there are not only wealthy businessmen, but also many scholars who are known as "saints' disciples". This is the atmosphere of this era, and not only is it not ashamed, but it is regarded as a matter of elegance. Some of the talents who moved the world with their poems, paintings and articles not only did not have to pay out of their own pockets, but the organizers of the 'flower' contest also took the initiative to invite them as live advertisements.

At this time, those who were seated in the front row were Wu Weiye, the eyes of Enke, and Xia Yuehu, the 'flower'. At the same table with them, there were four young talents, two of whom were Fang Yizhi and Chen Zhenhui, who were called the "Four Sons" together with Mao Xiang. The other two are even more like a crown of 'jade', with eyes like stars, elegant and elegant, and good conversation, which makes many men around them ashamed of themselves.

At this moment, in a private room on the second floor, there was a very ugly-looking man who pushed the window open a small crack slightly, peeked downstairs for a moment, frowned and asked, "Fang Yizhi and Chen Zhenhui, these two met three years ago, and now they don't seem to have changed much." But that bubble, ah no, Mao Bijiang, why didn't he come? ”

Beside him was a young 'girl' who could be called the country's 'color' and Tianxiang, and said with a smile: "Long live is laughing again." Back then, because of these three words, you had a big quarrel with Mao Gongzi, which caused Sister Xiaowan to feel cold to Mao Gongzi and left Tongzhou overnight. Mao Gongzi lost face in public, and he never looked for Sister Xiaowan again. Alas, the two of them could have made a good marriage..."

The person who spoke was Chen Yuanyuan, one of the former "Qin Huai Eight 'Yan'", and now the editor-in-chief of the "Beijing Times". And the person who talked to her was Zhu Youzhen, the current son of Chongzhen and Emperor Chongzhen, who went to the meeting in disguise!

Originally, Zhu Youzhen didn't have the heart to watch this 'flower' contest at all. He is no longer the poor ** silk who has just crossed over, has never seen anything in the world, and his eyes are straight when he sees the beautiful 'girl', not to mention that he already has Queen Rui'er and three concubines, and he is surrounded by beautiful clouds, as long as he wants, Chen Yuanyuan, the four sisters, Qiu Linna, the red lady and even Herzhe can be accepted as concubines, and there is no need to come here to hunt 'Yan'.

However, two days ago, Wen Tiren gave him an idea that was a little detrimental to say. Aren't there many officials crying that they are poor and don't buy government bonds? Let's take a look at this money-studded 'flower' contest, whether these officials have come to cheer. As long as one is found, public opinion will be created, and he will be guilty of bullying the king and shameless. At that time, there is no need for Zhu Youzhen to spend more 'lips' and tongues, and these people will naturally have to obediently pay for treasury bonds.

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and if he wanted to create public opinion, of course, he had to find Chen Yuanyuan's "Beijing Times". He hurriedly drove to the palace to discuss with Chen Yuanyuan, and it happened that Chen Yuanyuan and several other people in the "Qin Huai Eight 'Yan'" were also 'friendly', and they often missed it, and they wanted to use the 'flower' contest to catch up with a few people. The two hit it off and booked a private room in Shanglin Yuan in advance.

Of course, the 50,000 taels of silver, Zhu Youzhen will never give it out. Shanglin Yuan is under the management of the Beijing Normal Education Department, which is a subordinate institution of the Ministry of Rites. The boss of Shanglin Yuan is a typical "black and white all-you-can-eat", but when the boss speaks, he will never dare to disobey. When Zhu Youzhen and Chen Yuanyuan entered Shanglin Yuan, they were escorted by officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial City Guard Corps throughout the process, and they were tightly covered with black gauze, hiding from everyone. Of course, for the sake of insurance, Zhu Youzhen still asked Yan Ling to help him change his appearance.

At this time, listening to Chen Yuanyuan's words, there was some blame for himself, Zhu Youzhen had to smile bitterly: "It seems that Miss Dong must blame me very much." However, judging by what he did, he valued himself more than he cherished Miss Dong, so he made a bet with me. Even if he won the bet that day, Miss Dong married him, who knew that he would be happy in the future? ”

Chen Yuanyuan also said gloomily: "Yuan Yuan was just joking with Banzai just now, what kind of person Mao Gongzi is, Yuan Yuan knows very well." He already has a wife, and he likes to show mercy everywhere, and he is entangled with several 'girls' in Qinglou, and he even had the idea of Yuanyuan back then. If Sister Xiaowan follows him, maybe she will really give up at the beginning! ”

Zhu Youzhen sighed: "Although Miss Dong is famous all over the world, she has always been a weak 'girl'. Many things may not be chosen by her, and even if she chooses, she may not be able to choose the right one! Hey, not to mention this venture, do you recognize who the other two people at the same table are? How does it look bigger? ”
