Chapter 228
June of the fourth year of Jianxing
Xizi Lake Xizi Qinglian Hall
In the middle of the hall sat a middle-aged beautiful woman with great charm, she was the owner of this lotus hall, Mrs. Pan.
Qinglian Hall is the inheritance left by Mrs. Pan's grandfather, and it has always been passed on only inside and not outside. This is a place for students in the south of the Yangtze River to learn from each other, and to put it bluntly, it is a private school. Since Madame Pan took over this ancestral property, most of the people who have come here to study are children of the middle and upper classes, including women. Since ancient times, there are clouds: women are virtuous if they are not talented, but this Mrs. Pan just doesn't believe in this evil, but she opened the Liantang Women's Hospital under the pressure of the world, and I thought that there would not be too many girls who came to study, but I don't know if the world has changed or people's heads have opened their shells, and there are no less than 100 women who came to sign up on the first day. In this way, the women** led by Mrs. Pan were unveiled in full swing.
But Mrs. Pan's family background is very tortuous, since her parents were robbed and died, this heavy responsibility of inheritance has been pressed on her, and even her husband is upside down. I don't know if God wants her to be the queen of the Pan family, or how, she gave birth to a girl in her generation, and she wanted to wait for her daughter to be older, and then add a little strong man to Pan Shimen, but before her daughter was one year old, Mrs. Pan couldn't bear the pain and waved goodbye to Pan Xianggong, and made an appointment to see her in the next life.
It is said that Mrs. Pan's daughter is at a prime age, and her name is Pan Ruojin, who is not only a symbol of her appearance, but also has a wide range of knowledge, and has been famous as early as the age of twelve. At the age of fifteen and after the sideburns, there are always people who come to the door to propose marriage, and the marriage is not official or expensive, and the bride price is the best goods. After a long time, the long line of bride price and the flowers and moonlight of all kinds of female students in the women's courtyard have become the two beauties of this Qinglian Hall, so the reputation of this "small" Xizi Qinglian Hall is greater, up to the deep courtyard of the capital, down to the country stream, everyone knows that no one knows, even the old man of the emperor today also sends his grandchildren to study incognito here, and make friends with the gentry and talents. Now that Liantang is so powerful, it is also indispensable to Pan Ruojin's credit!
But Mrs. Pan's daughter is not worry-free, and often has some small situations to frighten Mrs. Pan, in fact, it is nothing--- but she wears men's clothes, visits brothels, and from time to time asks a few gentlemen to go on outings, and even learns some things that should not be learned by girls by her own opinion, etc. Coincidentally, although this little girl is recognized as eccentric, the bees behind her are still flocking, but there are more and more of them, and even those sons and brothers who are two or three years younger than her have a soft spot for her. This really has to make people sigh: My Fair Lady, what a gentleman!
Mrs. Pan sent all the family members after noon, for one reason - the time for her precious daughter's blind date was approaching, but the person had disappeared since he got up in the morning.
Next to Mrs. Pan stood a maid with a light figure and a delicate face, called Xiao Yao.
"Madam, I see that Miss Bacheng asked a friend to swim in the lake again, Miss has always liked to swim in the lake, and she will go all day, I see, she will not come back until the sun sets." It was this handsome maid who spoke.
"Did Jin follow?" Seeing Xiao Yao nodding, he asked again, "Did the people sent out come back?" ”
"Madame, Mademoiselle has always been casual in her amusement, and she may not be able to find it even if she is cruising on the lake. Besides, Miss's friends are chanting poetry and doing each other together, time has long been left behind, where can you remember the blind date in the afternoon? Xiao Yao said as she covered up for her young lady.
"That's what you said, then you also look for it, you are always together, you must know some places where she frequents, go to the courtyard and call some miscellaneous masters to go with you, you must find her, you must come back in the afternoon!" After Mrs. Pan sent Xiao Yao, she went to the back bedroom to rest.
Xiao Yao listened to the old lady's order to find someone, and as soon as she got out of the door of the lotus hall, she hurriedly sent the masters in the courtyard away, and drove to Hangzhou City alone.
Hangzhou City Qingya Building
Today is the annual day of Hangzhou City's Oiran and Oiran picking, and many talented and beautiful people have gathered here.
The women come here to take the oiran, and the men come here to pick the oiran. The woman wins the oiran, which is more than the literary color, the female red, the needlework, in order to show their talents, recruit wise men; The man picks the oiran in order to choose a suitable wife, that is, not to choose a wife, but also to choose a decent role model, in order to find his confidante.
Of course, the participants were all young men and women who had never been married, and who had never been married. The rules are very strict, and men who have already married are not allowed to come here to pick a second room; or a woman who is married as a wife shows a feminine red style. These things must be strictly reviewed by the county government before participating in the event, and they can only be passed.
This year's Oiran is the top girl of Qingya Building - Qin Yirong
Qingya Building, as the name suggests, is an elegant place. However, there is a bad name for it, which is the brothel. There are countless talented women in Qingya Building, but these talented women are also displayed as prostitutes. Why? Because most of them are children of poor families, and their families can't afford to support them, they were sent here. This is true. The girls in the building are all outstanding in appearance and romantic, but they are not from a good background. Ay! I have to sigh! But, having said that, although the girls in the building are not from a good background, they all know how to clean themselves, most of the girls only sell their arts in the building, and the oral evaluation is naturally higher, and there are not a few who find a good couple.
Look upstairs, a woman in green clothes is wandering, and her smile is intoxicating. Its face is like a hibiscus, the eyebrows are picturesque, the apricot eyes are slightly smoked, the blush is like a peach and plum, the cherry lips are not from Zhu, the figure is petite, the waist is slender, and a pair of lotus feet walk like a ping. Who is this woman? Oiran Qin Yirong is also!
The woman stopped, leaned against the railing, and smiled at the "handsome man" who was about to pick the oiran. If the beauty doesn't smile, it's enough, and a smile shows the style of the country and the city.
There's a group of people downstairs talking about what? Everyone thinks that the "handsome man" who wants to pick the oiran is a talented woman who is famous in the south of the Yangtze River - Pan Ruojin. The focus of discussion is why Miss Poon, who is in her prime of life, did not show up to win the Oiran Meeting? Why didn't she show up to try her writing? Why didn't she show her exquisite embroidery skills? Why is the person who picks the oiran like her?
The "man" was dressed in a blue silk robe, with a gray and blue crown on his head, and official boots on his feet, but he was a little shorter.
"Jin Gongzi, is there anything good?" The upstairs lady asked.
The man was not in a hurry, turned his hand and closed the folding fan, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the beautiful woman upstairs with a reverent smile. He spoke:
"The girl is so good, right, it was really difficult for Xiaosheng to come before, but the girl smiled, but I had a lower link. Lao asked the girl to recount the couplet. ”
"Okay, I hope Childe is really right. My uplink is: Red lotus is planted on Phoenix Mountain, and it is endlessly beautiful when it is defeated. ”
"Good!" There was an uproar downstairs.
"Listen up, Xiaosheng is right: Yulong Mountain is stationed at the foot of Jiaoyan, happy and worried, happy and happy."
"Good! That's right! There was a cheer behind the "man".
"Childe is so right, little girl admires!" Qin Yirong was slightly blessed.
"Miss Yirong, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to be the guest of Miss in the curtain?" The man folded his wrists and bowed.
Qin Yirong smiled lightly and said nothing, and turned into the embroidery room. The shallow smile between the swirling bodies was full of tenderness, which aroused the infatuation and admiration of many male guests. It can really be said: 6,000 fandels have no color, look back and smile a hundred beautiful people!
Seeing the beauty's coquettish smile, the "man" was very proud. He gave a deep swipe to the men behind him, and then slapped the folding fan in his hand, and then went on the embroidery building of the Oiran with a lot of enthusiasm, and went on a date with the beauty.
Coming to the embroidery room of the beautiful woman, the "man" first looked around, the room was very uniquely decorated, especially the hand-embroidered cloth ornaments hanging on the wall, how beautifully embroidered the cloth ornaments were naturally not a problem, the pattern of each cloth ornament was different, and there was a silk painting among these cloth paintings that attracted the attention of the "man".
The painting is a slender and beautiful woman, hiding her face and crying, and in the distance there is a tall and mighty, armor-covered soldier man, because it is too far away, so the man's face is not very clear, but I can feel that he must be a handsome man, there is a war horse standing next to the man, there is a handful of hibiscus tassels on the head of the tall horse, although the two are far apart, but they are tied by a brocade belt that seems to be nothing, a very strange scene.
The man looked at this painting and was puzzled, why did a young woman have such a strange scroll in her room? The man stands in front of the painting and studies.
"Childe, are you interested in this canvas?" Qin Yirong asked.
"Yes, in the embroidery room of the young lady, where did you get this strange painting?"
"Childe, don't stand and talk, please sit and listen to the little woman speak slowly."
Saying that, the two of them sat down, and Qin Yirong poured a cup of tea for the man.
Miss Qin's hometown was originally in Henan, when she was nine years old, the Yellow River flooded, her father took her to flee, and when she walked to the boundary of Suzhou, it suddenly rained heavily, and the husband and daughter ran into an abandoned land temple to take shelter from the rain. After a hexagram, he gave her this cloth painting, and told them to come to Hangzhou.
"Oh, I see. The chief didn't say where my sister's transporter came from? What is the last name? The man picked up his teacup and wanted to drink.
I didn't mention much, but only said one sentence in Mulan's words: the male rabbit's feet are fluttering, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred. Twin rabbits walk on the ground, can Ann tell that I am male and female? ”
Immediately, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl walked in, changed the tea set for the man and cleaned up the table.
Qin Yirong found these changes, wanted to ask carefully, and then changed her mind, if she asked, she couldn't help but annoy him, he was angry, and walked away, how to get along in the future, where did she find such a quiet man...... For a while, the girl's thoughts came up, Qin Yirong's face was red and white for a while, but she still didn't ask.
