Chapter 167: Oiran Society (2)

"You little girl, you have a flamboyant tongue!"

The corners of Shen Yan's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"The slave is telling the truth, Miss is going to show the momentum to win the championship!"

Tuan'er has served Shen Yan for many years, so he naturally thinks about Shen Yan wholeheartedly. What touched her the most was that Shen Yan did not treat her as a slave, but as a sister.

If Shen Yan was really ransomed by Liu Wen, the eunuch guarding the town, Tuan'er would definitely be transferred by the old bustard to other courtesans to continue to be a maidservant.

But a good-tempered courtesan like Shen Yan couldn't be found in the entire city of Hangzhou with lanterns. For the sake of selfishness, Tuan'er didn't want Shen Yan to be ransomed by the old eunuch.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

Shen Yan was also reluctant to Tuan'er, and she was sure to go all out at this Oiran meeting and fight hard.

In the past, the Oiran Festival was held on the boat, but now it is suddenly changed to the shore, which is quite uncomfortable.

However, this also has the advantage that more readers will be able to witness the Oiran Festival up close. Otherwise, if it is held on the painting boat as in the past, the people who can travel with the beauty on the painting boat are all rich sons with distinguished backgrounds, where are the children of poor families, ordinary scholars.

The promenade by the lake was already full of scholars, and Xie Shen and a group of Yuyao scholars were also among them.

Looking at the many beauties in the pavilion not far away, Xie Shen shook his head.

This is a typical layman to guide the insider, Eunuch Liu wants to come to the Oiran Club to have a good time, but he still has to point out the country and change the form of the Oiran Club.

Holding an Oiran party on the shore can indeed attract more attention, but it is also more likely to cause trouble.

There are many people, and if something really happens, won't the good mood of the night be disturbed?

In comparison, Xie Shen still prefers the form of painting boats and swimming in the lake, but in this way, the possibility of ordinary scholars participating is small.

The promenade was not far from the pavilion where the courtesans were sitting, and Xie Shen could clearly see that Shen Niangzi was grooming in front of the bronze mirror. I hope she can remember the poem she wrote, and it is this poem that can really determine the ownership of the Oiran.

Just when Xie Shen was confused, he suddenly heard a shout, and many soldiers were reprimanded by Bing Yong while rushing to the corridor. Xie Shen looked over for the sound, only to see a group of people waiting for Haohao Tang to go towards the pavilion.

There is a sedan chair in the middle, and the decoration is extremely luxurious, Xie Shen guessed that the person in the sedan chair was Liu Wen, the eunuch of the town.

Xie Shen didn't understand Liu Wen's approach.

Could it be that Eunuch Liu really came here to be addicted?

The sedan chair fell next to the pavilion, and Liu Wen, who was dressed in a civilian robe, slowly walked out with the support of the servants, looked around and hummed: "Are all the people here?" ā€

"Back to Liu Gong's words, it's all here!"

"Let's get started!"

Eunuch Liu was obviously a little impatient, and said with a wave of his hand.

Eunuch Liu spoke, that was the law of heaven, and the governor of the Oiran Society said in a harmonious voice: "Follow the order of Duke Liu!" ā€

For a while, the silk and bamboo orchestras were all around, and even the fireworks were set off.

The shore of Xizi Lake was dyed like day by fireworks, and the scholars applauded one after another.

Scholars are like this, they were still jumping and scolding their mothers a moment ago, as long as you give them a little benefit, they will immediately change their faces and remember your goodness.

Amidst the applause, the Oiran meeting officially began.

The people who participated in the Oiran meeting this time were all well-known courtesans in Hangzhou, and they all had their own unique skills. Some are good at dancing with long sleeves, some are clever at talking, some are good-looking, and some are proficient in music.

However, the Oiran will be a comprehensive competition, and it cannot be judged by the strength of one skill.

Therefore, all the courtesans showed their talents one by one according to the regulations.

Xie Shen and the others came early, seizing the favorable terrain, and now they can clearly see every move of the beauties in the pavilion.

These courtesans are really proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although they may not reach the top, but it is still very easy to kill ninety percent of women in seconds.

The first few rounds were nothing more than stroking, dancing, and singing. The beauties eat this bowl of rice, which is naturally easy to come by.

But when everyone is strong, it is difficult to distinguish the high.

After a few rounds, it was Shen Niangzi of Peony Yaoju, Su Niangzi of Red Sleeve Tian, and Liu Niangzi of Ruoshui Ju who stood out the most.

The next round is the main event, which is poetry.

The content has been predetermined a long time ago, and the poems must express their grievances. This is also in line with the identity of the courtesan, which is quite decent.

Most of the courtesans are very literate, because they are in contact with high-end customers such as scholars and princes, and if they don't understand poetry, they have a common language.

Of course, as far as poetry is concerned, the difference in the level of the best people is reflected. Some courtesans only know a little bit of poetry, and the poems they produce are not much better than limerick poems.

But some of the poems written by beautiful women are the great talents of the province, Bi Minghui will praise a few words.

Therefore, the easiest round for the Oiran to open the gap is to compose poetry.

If Liu Niangzi of Shuiju appears first, the song "Yulin Bell" can be said to be a good start.

Many scholars praised Liu Niangzi's outstanding literary talent.

After that, the red-sleeved and top-notch Su Xiaoniang also did not show weakness at all, and returned the color with a song "Su Curtain Cover".

As for the poems written by other courtesans, there is still a clear gap between them and these two. Everyone also saw that if Shen Niangzi of Peony Medicine House couldn't make a preemptive move, the Oiran would probably come from these two in the end.

Shen Yan was the last to appear, and the pressure was naturally self-evident.

She Shi Shiran walked to the middle of the pavilion, first rushed to the first eunuch Liu and saluted, and then chanted: "Spring is shallow, red resentment, cover the double ring." Between the light rain and flowers, the day is leisurely. Silent will be red tears. Yan Shan, the incense is still a light dream.

Leaning on the painting screen to think about the past, it is not, empty as lovesick words. Remember the weeping willow silk, flower branches, and butterflies in the garden at that time. ā€

After reciting this poem, Shen Yan did not return to his seat directly, but saluted to Eunuch Liu: "I don't know what Gong Liu thinks of this word?" ā€

Eunuch Liu frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

As a eunuch who often runs errands by His Majesty's side, he is not only literate, but also has good literary skills. This basic poetry appreciation is still there.

The details of Shen Niangzi's poem can be seen in the skill, and the sentence "remember the time, weeping willow silk, flower branches, and butterflies in the court" is even more miraculous.

From this word, Liu Wen heard Shen Niangzi's voice. Does this little lady already have someone in her heart? But he was entrusted by others, how could he change his mind because of Shen Niangzi's complaints.

As for the poem itself, it is indeed excellent. Liu Wenzheng was about to say a word of praise and push Shen Yan to the oiran. But after thinking about it, wouldn't it be too high-profile for him to redeem Shen Yan again?

Just when Eunuch Liu hesitated, a young man came to the pavilion at some point and bowed to him.

Eunuch Liu fixed his eyes and saw that this young man was not Xie Shen who greeted him with the scholar Chen Fangyin at the banquet of the governor's yamen that day?
