Chapter 169: Oiran Society (4)
(ps: I recommend a friend's book "One Punch Tang Seng", a witty and funny route, you can take a look if you are interested.) Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoοΌ
Being able to stand out from the many eunuchs and become the eunuch of Hangzhou shows that Liu Wen's ability and decisiveness are not problematic. In fact, political sensitivity as an internal supervisor is the most important quality.
At that moment, Liu Wen quickly made a judgment.
The Oiran Society is the star holding the moon, and maybe the strength of the courtesans is between the best, but in the end there is only one Oiran. The city of scholars will cheer for the new Oiran, and they will spend a lot of money for the new Oiran, but no one will look at the defeated courtesans.
Perhaps it will take a long time, when the craze of the Oiran Club subsides, that these sons of the family will think of the old people who were snubbed by themselves, and realize that there is not only an Oiran in Hangzhou.
At the moment, deciding who is the Oiran is completely in Liu Wen's thoughts.
If he goes against the trend, he will naturally not have any substantial losses, but he will definitely bear infamy. And if Shen Niangzi is used as an oiran, not only does she conform to the expectations of all the scholars, but she can also sell Xie Shen a favor.
Liu Wen and Xie Shen were not familiar with each other, but he could feel that the young man was an extremely talented person. This talent does not only refer to the writing of poetry, nor does it refer only to the writing of eight-strand essays. What Liu Wen was really amazed by was Xie Shen's courage.
Just ask a thirteen-year-old boy what kind of courage it must be to dare to show off at the Oiran meeting and dare to face the fierce eyes of everyone.
Such a person was simply born to be an official.
The difficulties and dangers of officialdom are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and Liu Wen, who has been in the inner court for many years, is naturally very clear. He witnessed civil servants conspiring with each other for promotion, racking their brains to write sycophantic articles in order to win the favor of the saint.
If you don't have extraordinary courage and strong determination, you won't be able to sit still even in a high position.
The young man in front of him is so young and has a strong talent, if he can give a favor and use it for himself, it will definitely be a great benefit. Of course, Liu Wen could see that Xie Shen was deliberately helping Shen Niangzi, so it was better to sell him his personal favor.
As for Xue Ju......
Hum!
This bad old man, in addition to a woman or a woman in his eyes, was like this when he was in Beijing, and he didn't expect that he had not changed in the slightest when he came to Hangzhou.
Aren't all women the same? There's nothing surprising about this Shen lady.
With his Liu Wen's means, it is not difficult to redeem some courtesans, as long as it is not Shen Niangzi, he Xue Ju can do as much as he wants.
"We announce that the leader of this Oiran meeting is ......"
Liu Wen deliberately dragged out a long tone, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Xie Shen who was not far away. The four eyes are facing each other, and it is naturally a contest.
Liu Wen saw hope in Xie Shen's eyes, and he was very satisfied.
"It's Shen Yan!"
Liu Wen finally said the name that everyone expected, and Xie Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's too hard, it's really too hard.
Others may not know, but he saw the cunning in Liu Wen's eyes. Liu Wen knew that he was helping Shen Niangzi!
Xie Shen still underestimated Eunuch Liu's strength, this guy's ability to perceive people's hearts has reached the pinnacle!
Fortunately, Liu Wen made the decision to hold Shen Niangzi as an oiran, otherwise Xie Shen's previous foreshadowing was all blind work!
But for some reason, Xie Shen actually had a sense of frustration of defeat. Facing Eunuch Liu's sharp eyes, he always had a feeling that everything in his mind was being understood.
"Shen Niangzi deserves the word leader!"
"It's worthy of being a talented girl, congratulations to Mrs. Shen!"
"Shen Niangzi, don't forget Gongzi Xie!"
The praise came like a tide, Shen Yan's face turned red, and he subconsciously lowered his head. Except for Xie Shen, only she knew that she didn't write this poem. Na Xie Gongzi's words made in advance won the crown, no matter how you look at it, it is a little disgraceful.
But Shen Yan had to do it. In order not to be ransomed by Eunuch Liu, and then transferred to Xue Bu's political envoy, she had only one way to win the Oiran.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan's heart was a little relieved. But Xie Gongzi's favor was owed, and she really didn't know how to repay it for a while.
The Oiran has been decided, and the rest of the courtesans are all depressed, completely lacking their previous swagger.
Shen Yan gradually became a little intoxicated by the praise, and only felt that the West Lake was very quiet and beautiful tonight.
......
......
didn't mention it, but said that Xie Shen returned to the inn directly after leaving the Oiran Club.
A group of Yuyao scholars naturally threw themselves on the five-body admiration of this little fellow countryman.
Among them, Zhang Bugui is the most excited.
"If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.
Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable.
Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain did not complain.
How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day. β
Zhang Dagongzi silently recited the poems written by Xie Shen, and praised with his palms: "Brother Shen Xian is worthy of being the first talent in Yuyao, oh no, after today, it is time to call you the first talent in Jiangnan!" β
"Look at Brother Zhang's spirit, as if this poem was written by you."
Wang Shouwen didn't sell face, and his words vented the momentum of no return.
"Hehe, I didn't do it, but I did it from my countrymen. I can see that Brother Shen Xian will be the one who wants to win the champion in the future, if I talk about it in front of people, wouldn't it be a good conversation if I have traveled and drunk with the champion Gong? β
Zhang Bugui was very content, rubbed his palms and said with a smile.
Xie Pi on the side said with some worry: "Isn't it a little early to celebrate now?" It's true that Shen Niangzi has become an Oiran now, but if Father-in-law Liu wants to use force, no one will dare to stop him, right? β
Xie Shen put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Don't worry about this." I think that Liu Wen has also seen a lot of the world. Today, since he personally selected Shen Niangzi as the Oiran, he will not do anything to slap himself in the face. β
After a pause, Xie Shen continued: "Let's leave for Yuyao early tomorrow morning." β
Hearing this, Wang Shouwen was surprised: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Brother Shenxian, you have done Shen Niangzi such a big favor, why don't you listen to a few more tunes to earn back? β
Xie Shen glanced at him angrily and said, "What do you earn or not, are you thinking about this all day long?" Besides, it's been almost half a month since I came to Hangzhou Mansion this time, and if you stay any longer, aren't you afraid that Confucianism will remove you and me from the county school? β
Of course, this is a joke, in fact, the county school does not strictly require students to go to the county school every day to study, and there are countless scholars who go out to study. What's more, Xie Shen had already told Confucius in advance, and the situation of the past ten days really had no impact.
Xie Shen felt that this trip to Hangzhou was too popular, and he wanted to avoid it for a while. First of all, the West Lake Yaji vomited Xiao Jiqi's blood, and then the Oiran Club made Shen Niangzi popular, Xie Shen is obviously the hottest scholar at the moment.
He naturally understands the truth that when the water is full, it is better to avoid it.
