But then I think about it, following behind the fifth brother, you can still get close to those talents, it is better than sitting in a private room and waiting for others to pass on poems, which is like watching a concert, and the feeling of watching in front of TV and watching live is definitely different.

Thinking that probably the father and the eldest brother and the second brother also went to Ruyi Building, Banniang couldn't help but worry: "Fifth brother, what if it is discovered by my father and eldest brother and second brother?" ”

Gorou laughed and said, "Speaking of which, you're quite bold, you can't do it if something happens, right?" I don't want to think about it, can my father and eldest brother and second brother sit at an ordinary table? Eighty percent is to sit in the best private room with the Zhijun, and when the time comes, where is there still time to watch the crowd downstairs? ”

Saying this, Banniang was also completely relieved and rejoiced.

"By the way, there is not only a poetry meeting today, but also a performance by courtesans, and even Liu Ruoshui, the top brand who came to Xiangge, also went, and will sing when the time comes, all saying that Liu Ruoshui has sung well, and I will listen to it tonight to see if it is really as good as his name."

And the courtesans?

In fact, it is nothing to have official prostitutes, the so-called official prostitutes are all registered in the government, there is a fixed number of years of service, after the limit, you can go to the government to cancel the nationality, when you want to continue to be a prostitute, the government will not recognize it.

And at this time, the official prostitutes were deeply admired by the literati, and they were similar to the entertainment stars of later generations, and they were indispensable when shops opened or banquets, and even many official activities would also find official prostitutes to participate, for example, every time a new wine was put on the market, in order to sell well, the government would also invite official prostitutes to act as promoters.

This is nothing, even the marriage of most people's families is indispensable to the shadow of official prostitutes, and those rich people generally invite famous prostitutes to help open the way when they welcome their relatives. Banniang has never seen it, if she does, wouldn't it be a big surprise?

It's really a paradise for prostitutes. No matter how old you are, you don't dare to force the official prostitutes to sleep with you, otherwise if it is known, you will wait to be impeached and brought to justice, and then pack up and go back to your hometown.

The official prostitutes are not only protected by the government, but also have a little talent and fame, and are also deeply respected and admired by the literati, and their madness is no worse than the fans of the Dawan stars of later generations. Therefore, the talented and beautiful women in the brothel tiles don't know how nourishing and happy they are.

From time to time, I arrived near the Ruyi Building, because there were too many people, Wulang had to get off the carriage with Banniang, explained to the coachman a few times, waited here, and was afraid of being scattered by the flow of people, so he took Banniang's hand and walked towards Ruyi Lou.

Entering the door of Ruyi Building, passing through a very elegant verandah that is not long but decorated, I entered the hall under the guidance of the shopkeeper, and it was already full of people.

Wulang found a place that was not eye-catching, Lu Seventeen was here, originally as Lu Seventeen, and his connections in Nanfeng City, it was easy to get a good private room, but he was entrusted by Zeng Wulang, so he was wronged and nested in a corner of the hall with mixed personnel.

Seeing Zeng Wulang, Lu Qiqi got up with a smile, and the two saluted, and Lu Qiqi noticed the little boy hiding behind Zeng Wulang: "Who is this?" ”

Before I finished asking, I saw the little boy who looked like a pink carving winking at him naughtily, how could he be so familiar?

When I looked at it again, I almost laughed out loud.

No wonder Zeng Wulang asked himself to book such a hidden position, and the lord and Mr. Zigu of the Zeng family who wanted to come must also be the guests of Lord Zhijun, this Zeng Eighth Sister wanted to come, but didn't she want to hide people's eyes?

However, Zeng Bamei's character turned to her liking.

pulled the two of them to sit down, and Xiao Er re-brewed tea and sent it up. The voices were boiling, and there was no way to chat, but fortunately, from time to time the Zhijun Lord made a grand debut, and for a while the quiet needle drop in the hall could be heard, and the Zhijun Lord said a few opening words, and then there were courtesans on the stage, and when the hot singing ended, the poetry meeting was officially started.

There are pen and ink waiting on the table everywhere, only the sound of the pen is heard for a while, because there is a timing incense, when a pillar of incense is burned, all the scholars have put down the pen, and some of the guys in the store have taken it one by one, and they are sent to the private room of the Zhijun Lord. The scholars in the hall, there are those who consciously write well, their faces are full of joy, if it is this Zhijun or Mr. Zigu's appreciation, it is always a good thing for themselves, those who are poor, enter Beijing in autumn, or can get funding, those who were originally rich in the family, feel that there is a praise from Mr. Zigu, it is more surprising than to get a reward, and then if you can win the crown in one fell swoop at such a poetry meeting where the sages gather, the name of the poem can be spread far and wide, and if the poem can be sung by the girl Liu Rushui, isn't it a momentary beauty?

Lu Qiqi didn't like to write any poems and lyrics, he himself was a few pounds and a few taels, and he knew it very well in his heart, but Gorou didn't dare, in case he was recognized, he would inevitably see his father and eldest brother and second brother, and then he wanted to get out, but he was afraid that it would be even more difficult, so the two of them at this table didn't even move their pen and ink.

Because Lu Seventeen traveled a lot and wrote poems, the rest was just watching performances and waiting for the results of the poems. From time to time, someone came over to greet Lu Qiqi, and saw that Zeng Jiawulang was also here, but the little boy was very angry, but he also talked happily.

As he was chatting, he saw a chubby guy in a green brocade dress with a fleshy face rubbing over, shaking a folding fan, without looking at Zeng Wulang and Banniang, and smiled at Lu Qiqi: "Hey, this literati party, what are you doing here?" Could it be that the prodigal son in Nanfeng City, when will he change his evil and return to the right and start a poem? Or did you take a fancy to the girl who was as willow as water and came to offer your courtesy? Listen to my brother's words, Seventeen Lang, this is not the place for you to stay, dare to go home quickly. ”

Lu Qiqi's eyes didn't fall on him, and he only smiled at Wulang Zeng Ziyi and said: "It's really worse and worse to hold a poetry meeting every year, and I don't know how Lord Zhijun would feel if he knew that the poetry meeting where dignified and elegant people gathered came and a fat pig who knew how dogs came." Ziyi, do you know why our Great Song people only love mutton and don't eat pork? ”

Gorou shook his head with a smile: "But listen to Brother Changqing's decomposition." ”

"Without him, its skin is too thick, its meat is too fat, and its taste is too fat."

Banniang couldn't help laughing when she saw what these two people were talking about, so she had to lie on the table, but she couldn't control her shoulders and shrugged.

The green frog over there was angry and red-faced, his face was extremely ugly, no matter how fat the frog brother was, he couldn't stop someone from holding stinky feet, and sure enough, there was a long thief beside him who scolded him: "Okay, you Lu Seventeen, even our eldest son Li dares to scold, don't you want to mix in Nanfeng City?" ”

Lu Qiqi said with an innocent face: "What is this brother talking about?" I was only talking to Brother Ziyi about our Da Song Dynasty food, why did I scold Mr. Li? Could it be that in your heart, Mr. Li is the fat pig that Brother Zeng and I talked about? Li Dagongzi is a talent, you make this metaphor, it is too much. Not to mention that Li Gongzi is angry, I can't be angry. If you slander our eldest son Li like this, don't blame your brother for not giving you face. ”

said and snorted coldly: "However, this brother Tai is so big, my Lu Seventeen can't mix in Nanfeng City, you thief eyebrows can't get into my grandfather's eyes, and you deserve to shout here?" Dare to get out of front of my grandfather's eyes, or I'll dig your rat eyes. ”

"You ......" Where did the thin mouse think that Lu Qiqi would beat him up, but he really couldn't refute it, so he had to be dumbfounded. And if Grand Prince Li doesn't support him, he really can't afford to offend this Lu Seventeen.

Gorou doesn't look down on the two bastards of the Li family in his heart, what kind of waste are they all entangled? But he didn't want to make trouble and attract the attention of others, but he brought Banniang over, if it was usual, he just killed the arrogance of Li Erxiang, and let this goods know that it was not his turn to turn the sky in Nanfeng City. That's it for today.

Seeing that Mr. Li's face was green with anger, and he was about to be ruthless, Gorou smiled and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Li, who also came to participate in the poetry meeting?" I heard that everyone Liu is here today, instead of wasting time on us, it is better to think about good words, if you win the eyes of everyone Liu, and sing for a while, wouldn't it make the literati students in Nanfeng City envious? And in Ziyi's opinion, if everyone in Liu can really choose poetry today, it will be the work of Li Dagongzi. ”

The green frog classmate thought about it, there is Lord Zhijun here today, and the old man of the Zeng family and Mr. Zigu are the guests of Lord Zhijun, it is not good to offend Zeng Wulang, and if it really made a big fuss at the poetry meeting hosted by Lord Zhijun, wouldn't it slap Lord Zhijun in the face? He flicked his sleeves hatefully, turned around and squeezed out. Before leaving, he said cruelly: "Lu Seventeen, you wait for my brother." ”

After the people left, Lu Qiqi snorted with a cold face, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, I really can't think of it, you can even say such a meaty thing." ”
