Seeing the beauty in ancient costume in front of him, Li Xiang smiled with his eyebrows.

"Hello, hello."

Li Xiangping chatted with the beautiful woman in ancient costume in front of him, and at the same time forgave each other with the eyes of an old driver. While observing, he still sighed in his heart, and said that it is not easy to do any line of work these days, even the entertainment industry that does not need the most technical content is like this, look at the young lady or mommy in front of him, on this hot day, it is not too hot to wear a costume?

But don't really say it, think about hundreds of years ago, when a senior old driver evaluated Gu Hengbo, who was said to be the most beautiful in Qin Huai Bayan, she was "Zhuang Yan is beautiful, with excellent demeanor, sideburns like clouds, peach blossoms, small bows, and light waist", which is translated into modern Chinese, this is clearly a long-haired beauty with an angel face and a devil's body, if you use a vulgar description, this is called white skin and long legs, and the one in front of you, with the vision of Li Xiangping, an old driver, is obviously up to this standard.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangping glanced at Zhao Daokai, and thought to himself, not to mention, in order to entertain himself this time, this young and sworn friend really spent a little thought and blood this time.

Thinking that today is not the ordinary routine of heaven and earth, Li Xiangping at this moment has no choice but to change his routine, he pretended to be gentle and elegant, and said to the ancient costume beauty in front of him in what he thought was the most polite voice:

"What do you call a beautiful woman?"

"Just ask me to embroider the piano."

Li Xiangping was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Embroidered piano? The beauty turned out to be called Xiuqin! Haha, it's a coincidence, the legendary Qin Huai Five Uniques, since the beauty is called Xiuqin, then she must play Go? ”

The costume beauty made a very fake surprise: "How does Mr. know?" ”

This game was arranged by Zhao Daokai, and this beauty would play Go He actually knew that he was only interested in Li Xiangping's other statement at this time:

"Qin Huai's Five Uniques? I said Xiangping, I've only heard of Qin Huai Bayan, when did a Qin Huai Five Uniques appear? ”

Since the beauty is on the side, of course Li Xiangping refuses to let go of the opportunity to show off, he is half showing off and half popular science to talk to Zhao Daokai:

"From the late Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Qinglou culture on the banks of the Qinhuai River was quite developed, and during this period, there were quite a lot of famous prostitutes who could be called. There are as many as 121 people who can be examined in literature alone, killing the scale of famous prostitutes in previous dynasties. For example, Qin Huai Bayan, who everyone is familiar with, is the leading lady in this prostitute group. Now we are very familiar with Qin Huai Bayan, but Daokai, you may not know, in fact, this title did not originate from the late Ming Dynasty, but was born in the late Qing Dynasty. It was during the Xianfeng period, and a Jinshi named Ye Yanlan wrote a book called "Qin Huai Bayan Tuyong", which accidentally made the IP of Qin Huai Bayan a fire".

"Oh? So that's the case, so what is the origin of the Qin Huai Five Uniques you said? ”

Li Xiangping pressed his hand, and said to Zhao Daokai that you don't have to be impatient, first listen to the gesture after I finished speaking, and then he continued:

"If Qin Huai Bayan is an IP, then Qin Huai Wujue is another IP, and this IP was also born in the Qing Dynasty......" Speaking of this, Li Xiangping smiled at Zhao Daokai:

"Speaking of which, this IP is also related to your old Zhao family, it was in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, your old Zhao family produced a straight man, named Zhao Nian, this person lingered in the Qinhuai Water Pavilion all the year round when he was young, and read countless women, in his later years, he wrote a book called "Houbanqiao Miscellaneous", the title of the book is very elegant, and most people think that it was written by Zheng Banqiao, but in fact it is not, this is actually the straight man of your old Zhao family who recounted what he saw and heard in Qinhuai Qinglou in his early years. Well, if this book is translated into the vernacular of today, it might be called "Memoirs of an Old Driver". ”

When he said this, Li Xiangping himself laughed, and Zhao Daokai and the beautiful woman in ancient costume named Xiuqin also laughed.

Li Xiangping continued:

"It is in this book that the straight male old-timer of your old Zhao family first proposed the IP of "Qin Huai Five Uniques", although this IP is not as famous as Qin Huai Bayan, but it is recognized as more authoritative, but for some other reasons, this IP is not very well-known. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhao Daokai became interested: "Since you said that you are more authoritative, why don't many people know about it?" By the way, who are the people in these "Qinhuai Five Uniques"? ”

Li Xiangping smiled slightly: "Why do you say that Qin Huai Wujue is more authoritative than Qin Huai Bayan, then I can only talk about who these "Five Uniques" are, let me tell you, compared with Wujue and Bayan, there are overlaps and differences in personnel, such as Qin Huai Bayan, Dao Kai, do you know who is recognized as the head of Bayan? ”

Of course, such a question is not difficult for Zhao Daokai to be like this:

"This, now everyone seems to be used to putting Ma Xianglan in the first place."

Li Xiangping nodded:

"Qin Huai Bayan, Xianglan is the first", there should still be no problem with this ranking, although some people in later generations ranked Liu Ru first, but Ma Xianglan ranked first seems to be more recognized by everyone. ”

And the reason why Ma Xianglan can rank first is not because she is older, if you really talk about age, she has to be regarded as the grandmother of Liu Ru and Chen Yuanyuan.

The reason why she can rank first is mainly because of this person's talent, in terms of talent, she is a well-deserved eldest sister in Qin Huai Bayan. Ma Xianglan was a female poet and painter in the Ming Dynasty. According to "Qin Huai Guangji", her name is Shouzhen, the word Xianglan, the small character Xuan'er, and the word Yuejiao; Because she ranks fourth in the family, she is known as "Siniang". She has a beautiful temperament, can be good at poetry and painting, especially good at painting orchid bamboo, so she has the reputation of "Xianglan", just like the bloom on the bank of the Qinhuai River, open and bold, unparalleled talent and elegant orchid, in the mud of the turbid world to maintain their own nobility.

Needless to say, in modern times, the Palace Museum in Beijing has a collection of Ma Xianglan's orchid albums, and the Tokyo Museum in Japan has a "Melan Picture" of her flowers, which is regarded as a treasure by the Japanese. Li Xiangping believes that based on this alone, Ma Xianglan's ranking first should be well deserved.

"Daokai, you know, although Ma Xianglan ranks first in Qinhuai Bayan, but in Qinhuai's Five Uniques, she has to accompany the last seat."

"Oh?!"

Hearing this, Zhao Daokai's interest became higher and higher: "Then the other few ......"

"No. 4 is Liu Ruyi."

"Huh!? You just said that Liu Ruyi's talent may be slightly inferior to Ma Xianglan, so why is her ranking higher? ”

Li Xiangping smiled slightly: "That's because there is a bonus of "the water is too cold". ”

Zhao Daokai was stunned at first, but immediately understood:

"Haha, that's the case, yes, yes, there's nothing wrong with this ranking."

The story of "the water is too cold" is naturally nothing to say, it is the little thing that Liu Ru is good friend Qian Qianyi does.

Think about the late Ming Dynasty, there was a strong atmosphere of association in the whole society, and the Donglin Party, the Restoration Society, and several societies held each other one by one to improve morale, hoping to save the government from decline. The leaders of these societies, Qian Qianyi, Wu Meicun, Gong Dingyu, Hou Fangyu, Mao Bijiang, Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zilong and others, were all frequent visitors to the Qinglou, and they developed the famous prostitutes into revolutionary comrades.

But when the men apostatized, these prostitutes remained loyal and became their spiritual mentors. With this bonus, ranking Liu Ru before Ma Xianglan is of course reasonable.

When talking about this, Zhao Daokai's interest is getting higher and higher:

"Then the others, Xiangping quickly tell me who the others are."

"The third ...... of Qinhuai's Five Uniques"

Speaking of this, Li Xiangping pretended to sell Guanzi, he turned his head and smiled at the costume beauty:

"Does the embroidered girl know who this third absolute is?"

To Li Xiangping's surprise, the costume beauty nodded:

"I heard that they put the embroidered qin in third place, right?"

Li Xiangping laughed when he heard it:

"Hahaha, that's right, the third of Qin Huai's five uniques, that is precisely the embroidered piano girl."

Li Xiangping smiled happily at this moment, only Zhao Daokai was still ignorant, but Zhao Daokai was not the kind of straw bag who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he quickly woke up:

"Which embroidered piano, is it, is it that.... The ...... who played chess with Shi Xiangxia"

Li Xiangping nodded: "That's right, it's that Xiuqin, because she played chess with Shi Xiangxia, so the Xiuqin girl left a big name in the history of Chinese Go, and she can be regarded as having a place in the Go world." ”

Li Xiangping said that this person is a generation of famous prostitutes on the banks of the Qinhuai River during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Nian admires this person very much, praising her for "being clever and wise, looking beautiful, Juanjuan quiet and beautiful, and ups and downs". and ranked her the third among Qin Huai's five uniques.

As a modern person, especially Li Xiangping is still a former Chong Duan teenager, then the most impressive thing about this person is because she once played chess with a generation of chess saint Shi Xiangxia, and there are chess games that have been handed down to this day.

This is especially a game of nine games and a game of eleven games, which are known as the famous scores in the handicap games----- you must know that since the birth of Go, there are many chess game names left from ancient times to the present, and in all the famous game scores, the number of pairs of games is obviously more than the number of handicap games.

Even in the genealogy of the sub-bureau, although there are also famous genealogies like "Blood and Tears", as long as you pay a little attention, you can find that the vast majority of the famous genealogies of the sub-bureau that have been handed down are basically the second son, the third son, and no more than the fourth son.

And the two games played by Shi Xiangxia and Xiuqin may be regarded as the solitary chapter of the nine sub-games and the eleventh sub-game in the famous score of Go, and it can be said that it is precisely because of the meaning of this "solitary article" that the two chess scores and the embroidery qin have a special status.

"No wonder."

Zhao Daokai first looked at Li Xiangping, and then at the beautiful woman in ancient costume named Xiuqin, and finally he was straight at Li Xiangping, he finally knew why his sworn friend was so interested today.

Zhao Daokai said: "Hehe, don't look at the embroidery girl who was given a lot by Shi Xiangxia, but I heard that her level is actually good, Xiangping, isn't that so?" ”

Hearing Zhao Daokai say this, Li Xiangping smiled and nodded, he also glanced at the beautiful woman in ancient costume before replying:

"The level is good, let's put it this way, if the embroidered girl comes to the modern era, if she plays chess online, if she doesn't have a very stable level above 1D, then she may not be able to win her."

Zhao Daokai was surprised: "Is it really so high? It can't be, doesn't that mean that even I may not be his opponent? ”

Li Xiangping was happy when he heard this, as a friend, of course he knew what level Zhao Daokai was, Zhao Daokai's several IDs on the Go website were basically between 2K and 2D, which means that his real level was between amateur level 5 and amateur early stage. Li Xiangping looked at Zhao Daokai and said with a smile:

"Judging from those two chess games, there should be no doubt that the embroidered qin girl should have an amateur level 5 to an amateur early stage, so as far as you stinky chess basket is concerned, it may not be the opponent of the embroidery girl."

"Haha, it's not an opponent, it's not an opponent......"

Zhao Daokai didn't mind Li Xiangping belittling his chess skills, he is still more interested in the "Qin Huai Five Uniques":

"By the way, you just said three of the Five Uniques, but what about the remaining two?"

Li Xiangping said with a smile: "The second among the five uniques, although this person is not a figure in Qin Huai Bayan, he also has a little relationship with Qin Huai Bayan. ”

"Oh? How do you say that? ”

"Among Qin Huai Bayan, everyone agrees that the most beautiful should be Gu Hengbo, but at that time, her fame was far inferior to that of another famous prostitute, Bian Yujing, Dao Kai, do you know why?"

"How do I know this, do you know Xiangping?"

"I don't know very well, but after reading the memoirs left by the straight male predecessor of your old Zhao family, I seem to have found a clue."

"What clues?"

"That's because Bian Yujing has a good sister."

Li Xiangping smiled at Zhao Daokai and said: "Bian Yujing has a younger sister named Bian Min, it is said that she is more beautiful than Gu Hengbo, Zhao Nian praised her for "being as white as jade, graceful and graceful, and people can see it, like a crystal screen", so she ranked second among Qin Huai's five uniques. ”

"Well, it's number 2 just because it's pretty? It's not that it was ....... at that time."

"Of course not, it is said that in addition to being beautiful, this Bian Min also has a good voice, proficient in music, her piano skills, flute... Xiao Ji was unsurpassed on the banks of the Qinhuai River at that time, and this was the second place by the straight male predecessor of your old Zhao family. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Daokai showed a lewd smile on his face, the kind of obscene smile that all men understand, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Li Xiangping:

"So that's the case, haha, it's a good arrangement, and now I think my family has no problem with the old-timers, Xiangping, don't you say it."

"Hey, hey." Li Xiangping showed the same smile as Zhao Daokai.

"Phew!"

The beautiful woman in ancient costume next to her blushed slightly, turned her head slightly and took a sip.

To say that although Li Xiangping and Zhao Daokai are gentle, they are not the kind of gentlemen with very thick skin, seeing the appearance of the ancient costume beauty named Xiuqin, Zhao Daokai hurriedly spoke:

"Then who is the head of Qin Huai's Five Uniques? You kid is telling me the truth here, but I've never heard of this Qin Huai's five unique names, by the way, you kid loves to talk nonsense, this shouldn't be made up by you. ”

Li Xiangping smiled:

"Of course not, the reason why Qin Huai's five uniques are not famous is precisely because it is related to the head of the five uniques."

"Huh?! Why is that? ”

Li Xiangping was about to explain, but he inadvertently looked up, but found that the expression of the beautiful woman in ancient costume named Xiuqin seemed to be a little strange, and his heart moved:

"This, I think this is the first of the five... The embroidered girl should know. ”

Li Xiangping suddenly turned his head, and he said to the beautiful woman in ancient costume named Xiuqin:

"Does the embroidered girl know who the head of the five uniques is?"

"The first of Qin Huai's five uniques, but his name is Ge Nen."

To Li Xiangping's surprise, the beauty in ancient costume didn't shirk it, and he really began to explain to Zhao Daokai, which made Li Xiangping feel strange, at this moment he felt that the expression of the beautiful woman named Xiuqin was a little strange, Li Xiangping felt that she seemed to be speaking in a nostalgic tone:

"This Ge Nen's predecessor, she is not only unparalleled in her beauty and art, she even raised troops with Sun Kexian in Fujian to resist the Qing Dynasty when the Qing soldiers went south, and was captured after the defeat. When the Qing generals heard that she was a prostitute, they wanted to offend, but Ge Nen's predecessors scolded, chewed her tongue, and sprayed her face with blood, and then she was killed, and died an extremely heroic death. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, first looked at Li Xiangping, and then at Zhao Daokai:

"Now you know why she can be ranked first among the Five Uniques, and Qin Huai's Five Uniques are not famous, right?"
