Chapter 302: Chromophobia
Gu Chengyu looked around and found that there were many people dressed in rich clothes, and there were even more literati.
It was also interspersed with some girls dressed up in fancy clothes, shuttling among some benefactors, scratching their heads from time to time, and laughing like silver bells.
About a quarter of an hour later, Mother Hua twisted her waist and went up to the high platform with a smile on her face.
Everyone knew that the night banquet was about to begin, and they all spontaneously quieted down.
"Thank you for appreciating the light, we have a night banquet in Tianxiang Pavilion today, everyone knows it. The slave family doesn't say much here, the rules are as in previous years, or the same sentence, the one with the highest price wins. In addition, choose the first place in tonight's poems, and you can spend the night with which girl you like. ”
Mother Hua shook the fan, her smile was ambiguous, and some of the talented people below her blushed with excitement. The price of the girls in Tianxiang Pavilion is not low, and if you want to accompany you all night, ordinary people can't afford it.
Being able to choose the girl you like and spend a good night with you without spending money on such a beautiful thing naturally makes people yearn for it.
Gu Chengyu is a little strange, is this first place elected by everyone? The famous and well-known family background really has an advantage, and it seems that the talent from an average background is afraid that it is difficult to get the first place.
"Chengyu, you must try it! You see, there are a lot of sons of the family here today, you see over there, it is Lu Chen, the second son of the Marquis of Zhan Yuan's Mansion, and the one next to him is Liang Shaoen, the fourth son of the Anhe Marquis Mansion. ”
Zhu Pang pointed to the elegant seat in the middle of the right, where several richly dressed princes introduced Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu looked over with Zhu Pang's line of sight and found that there were several noble sons sitting on the elegant seat in the middle. There are two sons who look extraordinary, and they can be seen from their expressions and gestures that they are well-educated, and they all reveal a kind of arrogance and confidence of a family in their bones.
Gu Chengyu took a closer look and found that the other sons and brothers were headed by these two people. Several people sat around the two of them, talking and laughing.
Lu Chen looked at the high platform below with interest, he also came last year, looking at these talented people Wendou, obviously they are more poetic, and secretly they are comparing who can hold the beauty.
Gu Chengyu stopped paying attention after a few glances, he had also heard of the names of Lu Chen and Liang Shaoen, these two people were close, compared to Zhu Pang's gentleness, the two of them were young and handsome.
The three major princely mansions and the two major princely mansions in the capital rely on meritorious service, when Emperor Jiaren sought to usurp the throne, the Hou Mansion and the Guogong Mansion contributed a lot. From the dragon's work, it is not too much to give a hereditary title, so these are the real families of Zhong Ming Dingshi.
It's just that now there have been two emperors, and the power of the family has been weakened a lot compared to before. Otherwise, the sons and daughters of those families would definitely be much more arrogant than they are now.
Gu Chengyu glanced at it a few times, and then stopped paying attention, he was a little curious about the rules of the night banquet in Tianxiang Pavilion.
"Senior Brother Zhu, what are the rules of this Tianxiang Pavilion? So how was the first place chosen? ”
Zhu Pang saw that Gu Chengyu finally became interested, and instantly became energetic. After taking a sip of tea, moistening his throat, he gave Gu Chengyu one by one.
"I'll pick the important ones and say that the rest is interesting for you to see for yourself! Wait for a few girls to come up on the high platform, if you have a fancy to it, you can make the silver and let her spend the Spring Festival with you, but if others fall in love with you, then you have to compete with others. Those girls are all chicks! The price is very high. ”
Gu Chengyu listened and immediately understood. This is similar to the auction in the previous life, anyway, if you like it, you will bid, so that the owner can often get the highest profit. It's just that the items auctioned here turn into people, no! To be precise, it should be an innocent body.
Gu Chengyu felt a little uncomfortable, taking it out for auction nakedly, you can imagine how these women would feel. It's just that these are very common in the feudal dynasty, and those girls enter this green building, and if they want to go out, they can only wait for someone to redeem them.
Otherwise, you can only serve people with color, and when you are old and sick, you will be driven out of the Qinglou by the bustards.
"Didn't you say that if you won the first place in your poetry, can you pick a girl at will? You don't have to pay money, what is the saying? Gu Chengyu felt that Qinglou would not do a loss-making business, and there would definitely be some benefits to be gained here.
"The girl came up first for everyone to see, and then everyone should compose poems and poems, and spend silver for those who should spend money. However, if the one who spends money and the first place falls in love with a girl at the same time, then the first place will be preferred. Of course, you can only choose one, and the poem has to stay in Tianxiang Pavilion. ”
When Zhu Pang said this, Gu Chengyu understood, Tianxiang Pavilion actually took this opportunity to get silver, and also took the opportunity to get the light of the children of the powerful and those talents.
Gu Chengyu didn't want to participate, but he was worried that Hua Lian would appear. Since he had promised to redeem her, he could not break his word, he had always kept his word.
"I said Flower Mom! Stop talking so much nonsense, let's get started! "The monkey is already impatient, watching the spittle that Mother Hua is still talking about on the high platform, in fact, everyone has lost patience.
Mother Hua is slightly fat, although she can see that she was a beauty when she was young, but now she is old and yellow, how can there be anything to see? How can those tender girls be pleasing to the eye?
Gu Chengyu looked for a sound, and saw a golden treasure trove. Why do you say that, of course, it is his silk silk with golden threads, as well as the gold rings on his fingers, and even the jade pendant hanging on his waist are three.
These made Gu Chengyu think of the nouveau riche in his previous life, and he couldn't wait to hang all the gold and silver on his body. Gu Chengyu watched the rich old man laugh when he was told by Mother Hua, and when he laughed, he even saw a big gold tooth in his mouth.
This is really a tyrant, Gu Chengyu is sighing here at this moment. As everyone knows, the old man will make Gu Chengyu suffer later, and make Gu Chengyu hate itchy.
Mother Hua finally got off the high stage, and came up first, but it was a song and dance. The dancers were graceful and dressed a little explicitly, and some benefactors applauded, and the atmosphere was hotly stirred.
Lu Chen frowned, these vulgar businessmen had explicit words and obscene expressions, as if they had never seen a woman in their eight lives.
Gu Chengyu also couldn't stand it, these people just watched it! The eyeballs were eager to stick to them, and Gu Chengyu also saw that some people were about to drool, and their ugliness was revealed. Zhu Pang watched it with relish, and while watching, he also commented on which girl's waist was soft and which girl's skin and flesh were snow-white.
No matter how Gu Chengyu looks, Zhu Pang doesn't seem to be able to bear it. often comes to Qinglou, even if his father doesn't allow it, look at his anxious look, can he bear it? It's really a chromophobia, too!
He pulled Zhu Pang, "Quickly wipe your saliva, is it a shame?" ”
Zhu Pang was not happy when he heard it, "Which man do you see who is not excited?" That's you, huh? I said, you don't like men, do you? ”
