Chapter 106: The First Genius in Jiangnan
The little girl covered her face, looked innocent, and asked earnestly: "Hua Niang, why did you beat me?" ”
"The old lady is unhappy, do you still need a reason to beat you?"
Hua Niang glared at the little guy angrily, it hurt too much to hit herself, so let's beat the little guy out of anger.
The little guy's body was three points shorter, and he whispered: "No need, it's me who should fight." ”
"Don't go to serve the guests, I'll persuade Xiangjun, you can't play with a child's temper at this time, this is about the future of Mengchunzhai."
Now Hua Niang's intestines are green, but the sins she has done have to endure no matter how bitter she is.
Qin Guan took Zheng Da and Xiong Da to board the painting boat of the Caiyi Pavilion, and Ayayi people took a few girls to greet Qin Guan.
This brothel in Hangzhou is very interesting, when it comes to the age of making money, it will give the girls a flower name, each brothel has its own specific surname, such as the women of Mengchunzhai are surnamed Meng, the women of the Caiyi Pavilion are surnamed Aya, and the women of Xinyuelou are surnamed Chu.
**It is a cheap industry, and it is the dirtiest kind, insulting to the ancestors, naturally you can't use the ancestor's surname to show people, so the brothel came up with such a way to hide the surname for some comfort.
At this time, on the first floor of the painting boat, there were already several tables of guests, Qin Guan looked at the past, there was no acquaintance, Qin Guan's treatment was higher, and he was arranged on the second floor, where there is only one table of Qin Guan now.
Seeing that the people were leaving, Zheng Da whispered with some excitement: "Brother Shaoyou, this year is stained with your light, you don't know, Mengchunzhai, Xinyue Building, Caiyi Pavilion These three painting boats are the most difficult, even if they come up, they will generally only be arranged on the first floor, unless they are high-ranking officials and talented people, they may be arranged in the private room on the second floor, I have your light this year." ”
Etiquette must be asked for by others, this truth Qin Guan understands.
Not long after, Ayayi came over with a very pretty little girl and said to Qin Guan: "Qin Gongzi, this is my new sister from the Caiyi Pavilion this year, her name is Ayaka Er, she will participate in this year's Oiran Competition, and she specially called to toast Qin Gongzi with a glass of wine." ”
Qin Guan looked at this little girl, she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she was very beautiful, especially her eyes were bright and translucent, which made people like it very much, but Qin Guan had no other thoughts, although this girl was beautiful, she lacked a little bit of the taste of a mature woman, at most it was the best big loli, not Qin Guan's dish.
Ancient people seem to like this kind of young teeth, like Ayayi people at the age of eighteen or nineteen, it is the time when the flowers bloom gorgeously, but in the eyes of the people here, there is already a taste of yesterday's yellow flowers.
It's not that they're not beautiful, it's purely caused by men's love for the new and dislike the old.
No matter how good they are, they are just men's playthings.
They may still be popular for three or five years, but now there is already a sense of crisis, after all, there are many newcomers, and men's hearts are changeable.
The little girl timidly poured a full glass of wine for Qin Guan, poured another glass for herself, and said in a voice: "Slave Aya Xiang'er respects Qin Gongzi with a glass." ”
Qin Guan took the wine glass and drank it.
After putting down the wine glass, Qin Guan asked, "What talent have you learned?" ”
"The slave follows Sister Yiren, learns singing lyrics and pipa, and knows some guzheng." Ayaka said.
Qin nodded from the point of view, each brothel also has its own traditions, the Caiyi Pavilion focuses on lyrics and music, Xinyuelou focuses on dance, and Mengchunzhai mainly cultivates talented women, who are the kind of women with excellent talents.
Several of them have good things, and it is no wonder that these three are the three most famous brothels in Hangzhou today, and the others can't catch up with them, so they can only be reduced to second-rate.
Aya Xiang'er was not accompanying her, she still had to prepare for the later performance, but Aya Yiren sat down and drank with Qin Guan.
Zheng Da was very excited, in the past, these Oiran, at most, just played and sang a song and left, how could there be such a close time, let the Ayayi people personally accompany the drinking, today is here.
Don't look at Zheng Da's ability to read, but he is very good at adjusting the atmosphere, although there are only three of them at the table, he does not seem lonely.
The second floor of the Dream Chunzhai Painting Boat.
A table of three people were drinking and chatting, two of them were Shen Yichen and Zhu Peng, opposite Shen Yichen was an elegant-looking young man, dressed in an ice blue silk collared robe, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns with snow-white piping, and his face revealed a very confident expression.
This person is Lin Yuanlin's son, who is known as the first genius in Jiangnan in the mouth of Hua Niang. Lin Yuan's family affairs are not bad, his father is a bachelor of the Ministry of Works, the Lin family is a big family in Suzhou, Lin Yuan's talent is very outstanding, and he is good at poetry, and he is the solution to the last Jiangnan Township test.
He was friendly with Shen Yichen and Zhu Peng, and this time he came to play just in time for the Oiran Competition, so he was invited by Shen Yichen.
Lin Yuan watched the excitement, saw Qin Guan boarding the painting boat of the Caiyi Pavilion, turned his head to Shen Yichen and said: "Is that person Qin Guan Qin Shaoyou just now, he is really an interesting wonderful person, I have read all the poems he wrote, it is indeed very amazing, Brother Shen, I heard that your limelight was completely suppressed by him." ”
Lin Yuan looked at Shen Yichen playfully and said.
Shen Yichen said very simply: "I am willing to bow down to the wind if my skills are not as good as others, the first time I saw him, he wrote a poem "Queqiao Immortal", and directly asked me to tear up the poem that had been written, and the second time it was at the Luming banquet, the song "When is the bright moon" shocked everyone, and the poem is still echoing in my mind, I am afraid that I will not be able to write such good words in my life." ”
Lin Yuan said: "That Qin Guan refused the invitation of everyone in the dream, and actually said that he didn't want to talk about poetry and papers, but just came out to relax, which is really a terrible reason." ”
Zhu Peng smiled: "You don't know, that's usually the same for Qin Guan, his poems are all done in the imperial examination, Qixi Poetry Meeting, and Luming Banquet, usually many people invite him to participate in the poetry meeting, but he refuses, Brother Shen is friendly with him, and he also refused to invite him to participate in the poetry club, do you know what he said?" ”
Lin Yuan was curious: "What did he say?" ”
"He said poetry is just a game."
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Now that I'm interested in this Qin Guan, Brother Shen, have the opportunity to help me introduce you." ”
Shen Yichen said: "Now, it's better for us to go to the Caiyi Pavilion to find him." ”
Lin Yuan raised his hand to stop Shen Yichen: "Brother Shen is not in a hurry, since Qin Guan said that poetry is a game, then how about we play a game with him first." Lin Yuan has always been very conceited, and seeing that Shen Yichen was trying his best to praise Qin Guan, it made him want to win.
Shen Yichen was stunned, "What are you going to do?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled and didn't speak, but instructed the maid serving next to him, "Go and invite the Mengluoyu girl, I have a new song for her." ”
Not long after, Mengluo Yu came, only fourteen or fifteen years old, but her face was beautiful, but when you look at her, she will not have any obscene thoughts, but more like a lady, revealing an intellectual beauty.
It is followed by the flower girl.
