Chapter 165: Yangzhou's No. 1 Oiran
Chapter 165: Yangzhou's No. 1 Oiran
Pei Xiuxiu, Yuehua, and Rong Er went all the way out of Nanjing to Yangzhou by boat.
On that day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the blue waves are beautiful, and the boats on the river are shuttling back and forth, which is very lively. The green mountains and green waters on both sides of the strait have a unique scenery.
Pei Xiuxiu couldn't help but think of the poems about Yangzhou: "The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March", "The dream of Yangzhou in ten years won the name of Qinglou Bo Xing", "On the moonlit night of the twenty-fourth bridge, where can the jade teach?" βγ
Pei Xiuxiu thought in her heart: Since the ancient people loved Yangzhou so much, Yangzhou must be a desirable place. A few days ago, I didn't even see the famous "Qin Huai Bayan" in Nanjing, and when I came to Yangzhou today, I must go to the land of fireworks to see the famous prostitute.
A few sons of the same boat were in a good mood chatting.
A boy in a cyan robe said: "This time I went to Yangzhou to catch up with the lively "Liantai Immortal Meeting", it is said that the beauties in the top ten green buildings in Yangzhou will compete for this year's Oiran. β
"Great, the year before last, Xiaosheng was fortunate to witness the true face of the peach fairy girl, she looked like a shy flower in the closed moon, and the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, it was really heartwarming at first sight, and this life was unforgettable!"
Another son said: "If you want me to see it, Miss Qin Wanyi is really beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as a beautiful woman in the city, like a fairy." β
Pei Xiuxiu was fascinated by what she heard, and said to Yuehua: "Master, let's go and take a look at such a lively Lotus Immortal Meeting." β
Yuehua said coldly: "I'm not interested. β
Pei Xiuxiu complained when she heard it: "What? Master, you're not going? I think you are a Buddhist man, and you have not grown old before you get old, so it's a waste to be so handsome! If you don't go, I'll go with Eiji. β
Eiji bowed his head embarrassedly and said shyly, "Really?" But I've never been to a place like that. β
"Ah, everything has a first time, and life is to see, play, listen and have fun more, so as not to live in vain. Don't learn from someone, can't you break away from the world and seek immortals? Pei Xiuxiu said insinuatingly.
Obviously, the method she used was agitation.
Yuehua frowned and said loosely: "Okay, since you want to go so much, let's go and join in the fun, but you have to promise me to be honest and not to cause trouble." β
Pei Xiuxiu smiled happily: "Really? That's great, don't worry, Master, I promise I won't cause trouble, and besides, I'm a girl who doesn't have the ability to get out of the whole thing. β
Yuehua shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm used to you like this, and sooner or later I'll spoil you." β
Pei Xiuxiu took Yuehua's hand and said, "Master is the best, except for my grandfather, my nurse and Brother Qingfeng, Master is the best for me." β
"I don't need to be ranked, you are my apprentice, I naturally want to be good to you." Yuehua said unhurriedly.
In fact, in his heart, he clearly knew that Xiuxiu was different from other apprentices.
It's just that there are some things that he would rather not reveal for the rest of his life, and since they are things that are destined not to be obtained, they naturally have to be buried in the bottom of his heart and become a permanent secret that only belongs to him.
It's a blessing to see her smile so easily as it is now.
Although it is unknown how long this happiness will last, she at least needs him now, having lost her grandfather for a short time.
After getting off the boat, it was already full of smoke, and the three of them followed a few little brothers in the same boat to the lively street market.
I saw that the night market is full of thousands of lights, high-rise buildings and red-sleeved customers, the light market is like day, and the tourists are like weaving.
It is no wonder that some poets wrote poems and sighed: "Ten miles of long streets, the market is connected, the Yueming Bridge looks at the immortals, life only dies with Yangzhou, and the Zen Zhi Mountain is a good cemetery." β
Yangzhou is indeed a gentle town that makes RΓ©n LiΓΊ forget to return.
Following those sons, the three of them came to the most famous flower building in Yangzhou, it is said that the girl in the famous flower building is the most handsome, the little song is the best, and even the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also at hand.
Pei Xiuxiu followed behind Yuehua in men's clothes, and as soon as she collapsed into the door, an enthusiastic bustard came to greet her: "How many sons, please?" Yo, handsome guy, blessed are the girls today. I won't tell you that our top girl Peach Fairy likes handsome guests, and my Peach Fairy must like the appearance of these people, but it's just ....... β
The bustard made a hint with a gesture, and Pei Xiuxiu said to the bustard with understanding: "Don't worry, it's not bad for money." β
The old bustard blossomed: "This is good, this is good." β
Rong Er saw that those girls were dressed up in flowers, coquettish, and when the thin waist twisted in front of him, it still exuded a charming smell of fragrant powder, which made people's hearts ripple.
Pei Xiuxiu couldn't help laughing when she saw that Rong Er looked like he had been hooked.
Eiji lowered his head with a red face when he realized the gaffe, and Yuehua on the side was still light and breezy, and seemed to be unmoved.
When several girls saw the suave Yuehua, they walked over lightly and shouted, "Childe." β
Yuehua stopped them from approaching with her hand and said, "The pot is good tea." β
"Why turn away people from thousands of miles away? Childe, my name is Liu'er, she is Xin'er, shall we sit down with you? β
Yuehua coldly refused: "No need." β
Pei Xiuxiu immediately took out the silver and handed it to the two girls and said, "He didn't mean that, just because he admired the fairy girl Tao'er wholeheartedly, so he didn't want to accept other girls, and I hope the two girls won't be angry." β
Liu Er took the silver and said with a smile: "I see, I can't see that he is still an infatuated person, and the Lotus Immortal will come out later, and the son can have a glimpse of the style and solve the lovesickness." I won't bother my son Yaxing, and I will take my leave."
I saw a big red stage set up in the hall, and after a burst of gongs and drums, the lively Liantai Immortal Association officially began, and the girls who participated in the evaluation appeared one by one.
As soon as the curtain was opened, a woman came out, a large peony emerald green smoke yarn Bixia Luo, a pink narcissus scattered flower green leaf skirt mopping the floor, and a thin gold silk smoke emerald green veil. The low-hanging sideburns are obliquely inlaid with pearls and jasper, and the flowers and moons look like hibiscus out of the water.
"It's so beautiful!" There were bursts of exclamations from the audience.
"She's the number one girl in Huashui Pavilion."
"Rouning girl, you are really beautiful!"
The elegant sound of the piano sounded, and the girl stood on the stage and picked up the jade hand to paint quietly, and after a while, a picture of flowers and birds in the spring river was completed.
The birds painted are vivid, and there are so many peach blossoms and pink that they are really rare and good to paint.
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful." Pei Xiuxiu exclaimed.
The second beauty to appear was wearing a purple gauze skirt embroidered with white red plums, and the wide skirt was elegant and luxurious. A white brocade belt binds the slender waist that is unbearable, a green silk is twisted into a wishful bun, only a plum blossom white hosta is inserted, the beautiful eyes are full of color, and the red lips are smiling lightly.
Some of the sons in the audience were dumbfounded, and some stood up and shouted excitedly: "Miss Wanyi, Miss Wanyi......"
It turned out that she was Qin Wanyi, the popular candidate for this year's Oiran.
Qin Wanyi sat on the stage dignifiedly, stroking the piano elegantly with slender hands, singing lightly while stroking the piano, the graceful voice was like a hollow valley orchid, which made people intoxicated.
Pei Xiuxiu asked, "Master, how is this Wanyi girl?" Do you think she can win this year's Oiran? β
Yuehua said calmly: "Not as good as someone, not as good as so-and-so." β
The meaning of not being as good as someone naturally means that her piano playing skills are not as good as Mei Shuying.
It means that Qin Wanyi's singing voice is not as good as Pei Xiuxiu, who is dressed as a man on the side.
Rong Er heard Yuehua's comment and said puzzledly: "I think Miss Qin Wanyi is as beautiful as a fairy, anyway, in my heart she is already an Oiran." β
The beauties appeared on the stage, wrote poems and paintings, played the piano and danced, and did everything.
Finally, it was the turn of the last eye-catching peach fairy girl to appear.
The red curtain was gradually opened, and the first thing that appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a pair of delicate jade feet, with a bell tied to the feet, and every step made a crisp sound.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the peach fairy girl wrapped in a big red dress, draped in a white gauze robe, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, the skirt pleats such as snow and moonlight flowing lightly on the ground, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk tied up with a hairband, the head inserted butterfly hairpin, a wisp of green silk hanging on the chest, thin powder, only add color, the faint red sense of the cheeks creates a pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind, and like a clear and transparent ice and snow.
"The head of the mantis is like a moth, the skin is like clotted fat, the hands are like soft wattles, and the beautiful eyes are longing, I dare to conclude that she is the Oiran." Pei Xiuxiu said.
The soundtrack sounded, Peach Fairy took off her coat and danced on the stage, the snow-like skin under the tulle made people think,
The cloud sleeves are full of charm with a wave and a retraction, the red silk silk swaying with the graceful posture, and the peach fairy eyes are flowing, as if there is a thousand tenderness around the eyebrows, a smile and a cheek, moving.
The audience was already fascinated by it, and they couldn't wait to bow down under the pomegranate skirt of the peach fairy girl.
After the dance, the Oiran evaluation finally came out, and there was no doubt that the first place was won by the famous flower building peach fairy girl.
The bustard happily invited all the guests to drink a glass of wine.
After another pillar of incense, Yuehua stood up and said, "It's not too early, we've seen the excitement, we should go back." β
"Okay." Pei Xiuxiu also got up.
Only Rong Erlian reluctantly asked, "Are you going back this time?" β
Pei Xiuxiu nodded: "Yes." β
"Wait!" A girl dressed as a maid blocked their way.
The girl spoke: "A few sons, my girls are invited, please come with me." β
"Who is your girl?" Yuehua asked.
The other party replied: "Oiran peach fairy." β
Yuehua and Pei Xiuxiu were taken aback, and although they didn't know what was going on, they still followed.
In the Yixiang Pavilion, the three of them walked in, only to see a beautiful woman coming out from behind the jade screen, which was the peach fairy girl who was dancing on the stage just now.
"It's polite."
"Hello sons."
After greeting each other and sitting down, Yuehua asked, "I don't know what the girl is waiting for me to stop?" β
Tao'er Xian hid her face and smiled: "It's okay, because I have a few words I want to ask my son, so I took the liberty to disturb." β
"Please."
Tao Er Xian poured everyone full of wine, looked at Yuehua and asked, "I was dancing on stage just now, and everyone in the audience was fascinated by me, except for you, why is this?" β
Yuehua sneered: "It turns out that the girl is asking this? Then I will answer you, none of the men in the audience who did not bow down under the girl's pomegranate skirt, because they were all a bunch of lustful people, and they were interested in seeing the lust. And I had no other thoughts than admiring the girl's dancing. β
Tao'er Xian pursed her lips and smiled: "Presumably, the son already has a beautiful woman in his heart, and I guess that beautiful woman must be far better than me in appearance." β
"That's true, but it's not true."
"Oh?"
Seeing Yuehua's extremely reluctant answer, Tao'er Xian said, "That's it, I don't mean to be strong." β
Tao Erxian looked at Xiuxiu on the side and said, "The girl dressed as a man can hide from everyone's eyes, but she can't hide it from me." β
Pei Xiuxiu smiled awkwardly: "The girl has good eyesight." β
Pei Xiuxiu patted her head and said, "I remember, no wonder it's so familiar, you are very similar to the female ghost in the temple, is your surname You?" β
"What? How do you know my surname is You? Peach Fairy asked in panic.
"That's a long story."
