Chapter 1: The Day of the Oiran
A lonely bird cuts through the sky, leaving a lingering afterglow where the blue sky meets the mountains. Another hot wind blows. The red screen suddenly removed the red suit. Outside the window, it began to rain lightly. I saw the woman half-curled up, the faint upward and downward suppressed voice trembled wantonly on the tip of her nose, her face was flushed and she couldn't see her expression, her long gauze brocade skirt fell to the ground, her hands were thin and white and naturally fell on the side legs, and her eyelids were half-closed.
Beneath the bed, two maids knelt on the ground. Two maids stood with powdered clothes in their hands. A kneeling maid got up and stroked the delicate woman on the bed. He called softly, "Girl, it's time to take a bath now?"
......
"Wash!" the woman lifted her half-closed eyes. Another kneeling man also got up and approached the bed. The two men helped up the bed and walked to the bath floor. Undressed for her, and her figure was revealed. The bath water exhales the thin air of white smoke, and the rose petals bury the pool water, revealing the charm of a pool.
Entering the bath, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. The warm flow of water gave her a hint of comfort, and the chair rested on the edge of the pool with her eyes closed, and two maids waited beside her. The petals smudged her a little bit of a charm.
The washing officer brought his clothes, only to see the delicate pink eyes in the brass mirror, the willow eyebrows locked with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, the pretty face was tight and thin with a clear silhouette, and the horizontal contoured Greek nose matched the thin cherry-like lips!
The woman stroked the corners of her eyes, and the tear stains had disappeared, leaving only the white skin and the face of the Chu people.
Mom, I haven't raised you in vain for so many years. A high-pitched, somewhat seductive voice sounded behind her.
The woman stood up to watch, bowed and said, "Mom!"
"Hmm!" Mother Liu lifted her chin with her head bowed and examined it carefully. "The skin is like condensed fat and the eyes are tender. It's really good!" looked at the woman's eyes and smiled: "The most attractive thing for a woman is these eyes." You're destined to seduce!"
Mother Liu looked at it but felt that something was missing, and fell into a sinking. He looked up again and said, "After the New Year, I should have a name." Look at your beautiful shape like a dance, and your eyebrows like a peak. It has the color of a koi fish. Let's call Jin'er, right?"
The surname is Liu, and all the girls in Huayuelou follow their mother's surname.
Liu Jin raised his eyes, his eyes were bright. I couldn't see the emotion, but I just thanked him: "Thank you mother for your name!"
"Okay, after dressing up, I'll go to the Hualou room and wait, it's almost you!" Mother Liu said again.
The rain seemed to be falling wantonly, exaggerating something to the extreme. In the upstairs wing, light smoke is wanton in the room, and two men sit on the tea table and drink flower tea, looking lazy and leisurely, very interested.
"Your Highness, how is it?" the person who spoke called Yu Xiao, the son of General Hou Guo.
"This Huayue Pavilion is still a little elegant, Brother Xiao is really looking for a good place. "The person who speaks is called Mo Wencheng, His Royal Highness the Sixth of Nanning.
"That's not all, today the Oiran won. So the daughter's wine here is also newly out of the cellar, and I have already ordered two pots. You can have a drink later. Yu Xiao smiled.
Hearing the word wine, Mo Wencheng smiled and looked at the person in front of him: "Brother Mo Ruoxiao, who really knows me." Wine is a good thing. We'll have a few more drinks later. ”
"Haha, then we won't get drunk or go home?" Yu Xiao responded with a smile, and came in with a squeak and brought two pots of wine and said with a smile: "Guest officer, your wine." As he spoke, he respectfully put it on the table, and got up to see that the window and door were closed. He asked with a smile: "Guest officer, today is the day of the general election of the Oiran of our store, and the girls are all outstanding girls in the competition of talents." Why didn't Childe take a look?" The two of them suddenly noticed that the sound outside the door had been making noise for a long time. Ye Xiao pondered for a while and looked at Mo Wencheng.
"Then open the window. Mo Wencheng took a drink and said.
Xiao Erlisuo walked to the direction of the window, and with two squeaks, the window had been completely opened.
I saw a woman dancing, her clothes were a little revealing and colorful, although the dancing was a little outstanding, but it was very unpopular with the eyes of the two. The two quickly turned to drink the wine in their hands.
Mo Wencheng looked at the transparent and clear rice wine in the cup and said: "This wine still looks pure and transparent, which is more pleasing to the eye than some flower buildings." ”
Drinking, both of them no longer paid attention to the scenery outside the window. Suddenly......
"Small print on red note. Let's talk about business. The wild goose is in the cloud, and the fish is in the water. It's hard to send melancholy. ”
......
A burst of melodious guzheng sound and singing came into my ears. Everywhere the voice came, I saw a woman wearing a pink intarsia dress sitting on a high platform, tuning the piano with her hands and singing with her head down, her face was thin and beautiful. is a wonderful beauty.
...... "The slanting sun leans alone in the west building. The remote mountain is just right for the curtain hook. The face of the person is unknown, and the green wave is still flowing eastward. ”
Here you can see the woman on the high platform at a glance, Yu Xiao took a closer look. The throat is smooth and smooth, which is a rare good voice, but I feel that there is a little melancholy and helplessness in the voice.
At the end of the song, the woman got up and bowed. He left with the xylophone in his hand. There was more hustle and bustle in the audience.
"Good! Good!" the crowd applauded. Shouting!"Jade girl!"Jade girl!"
The sound rose higher and higher, and I saw a white-clothed cloth slowly coming down upstairs. Holding the ink pen with its back spinning and falling, its toes hitting the ground. Suddenly, I saw that the white cloth under the stage showed an ink-colored plum blossom, which was not decorated, but it seemed to be even more moving with proud cold bones. The woman is tall and tall, but her complexion is surrounded by a white silk scarf, leaving only a pair of eyebrows and eyes exposed, but it is not difficult to see the woman's arrogance.
"Good!" shouted the crowd.
Liu Jin abandoned the pen and stripped off his clothes, and spread the ink painting dyed by the white coat to the lace, with a kind of smoke and fire. At this time, she was wearing a light blue brocade dress.
A dulcimer was sent to Taichung, she stroked the piano and paved the white, the sound was light and bright, the melody was smooth and beautiful, and the melody was fresh and lively like a young and beautiful girl walking in the mountains and flowers and meadows. It is also like the crisp ears of big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate. It is the most pleasant time to the ear to turn the strings, the melody begins to rise and fall, the rhythm is rapid as if walking in the deep mountains and valleys, and the cold wind exhales the ape and howls. And it can withstand a bit of charm. This static movement, soft and rigid, rigid and soft, forms a stark contrast, straight to the heartstrings. The tail note turns leisurely, and the sound is connected like gurgling water straight into people's hearts.
At the end of the song, there was no movement. The audience seemed so quiet that you could hear the sound of exhalation. Liu Jin lowered his head and bent down and slowly walked off the stage.
"Plum blossom three lanes!" Mo Wencheng was shocked. You said to herself: "This little girl from Hualou still knows these tunes. It's so much fun!" He looked at the woman on the stage carefully until she left.
I didn't want to listen to a few wonderful songs, and I tasted a few glasses of good wine. It's a great day. Mo Wencheng said with a smile. Yu Xiao echoed: "It seems that today is really the right time." ”
"This woman, interesting!" An arc slowly rises at the corners of the lips. Two men sat around the tea table on the top floor, looking at the woman on the stage.
One of them looked thin and white on the side, and his nose was quite handsome. Dressed in a cyan robe, he was about seventeen or eighteen years old. A man beside him had a sallow face, about thirty or forty years old.
"Brother Feng, didn't you take a fancy to it, how about I send someone to buy it and send it to your house to sing a song?" The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth showed a ghostly arc. When the woman appeared, the Feng Wangye on the opposite side didn't turn his eyes. He knew that the person in front of him must have taken a fancy to the girl Lou. I don't know how to cling to His Highness in front of me, but now I might as well do this boat pushing.
"Thank you, Brother Li, for your kindness. But Feng didn't have this intention, Feng only likes to look at flowers but doesn't like to raise flowers. Feng Lingchu looked at the person in front of him, and knew in his heart what kind of reputation he was fighting. Thinking that when he came to this Ning country from Ye Country thousands of miles away, this Li Wen had a movement. Since I arrived in Jingzhou, I have been thinking about how to please myself. This Li Wen knew that his eldest sister was the queen of this Ning Kingdom. Now he has offended the kingdom and has to cling to a higher Lord. It's a flattering guy too.
The people in the audience instantly became hot as if they had taken off their heads.
On the high stage, there were more than a dozen women performing their talents in the endless voices, but the voices gradually faded and became higher and higher.
Half an hour later, everyone had finished playing, and more than 30 girls from Liu Jin and the younger years walked into Taichung one after another. Mother Liu stepped forward and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, be quiet, be quiet!"
The vocals began to lower down.
"Tonight is our selection day for the new year's Oiran, and this year's Oiran girls are selected from the more than 30 new girls around me. Every guest officer has a flower as a gift from the entrance to this building. If you like a girl, send her flowers. Won the most flowers for our flower moon building this year's Oiran. At the same time, today's highest bidder will spend tonight's spring supper with our new Oiran. Mother Liu's voice became louder and louder, and her words were excited.
"Mother Liu, this is okay, but we have to see what the girls in Mengsha look like! How are we going to vote!" shouted a stout man.
Many men shouted as well. "yes! ”
The voices of the crowd were buzzing like honey, annoying.
Seeing this, Mother Liu waved her hand and said, "The guest officers are right. Now I called them to come and take off their veils. ”
Then he came forward one by one and said, "Xiang'er, Yu'er, Jin'er, Ye'er." Come forward. ”
"Lift the yarn!" As she spoke, some tall women called Xiang'er and touched the back of their heads with their hands. Gently untie the knots. Dropping the scarf, I saw a moving face appear. The woman stood for a few seconds before retreating into position.
Then a woman was a little thin but not tall, a little immature, she stood up and carefully put the shoulder veil on her hand, lightly untied the scarf, and there was some beauty but not outstanding.
......
"Jin'er,"
Liu Jin stepped forward leisurely, and after standing still, she glanced at everyone, and soon her eyes returned to herself. I touched the gauze strap behind the ear, and the scarf slipped naturally from the left ear.
Eyebrow trimming. Dan lips are bright outside, bright teeth are fresh inside, bright eyes are good, and Jing Fu inherits power. Magnificent and elegant, quiet and leisurely. Tenderness, bone image should be pictured. "What a girl! Feng Lingchu was stunned. Such a woman is afraid that she has seen it in a book.
Mo Wencheng was shocked when he saw the face of the veil falling, and his eyebrows began to condense from the original stretch. Yu Xiao saw it, stared straight at the woman, and sighed to herself: "There is such a beautiful woman in the world." Mo Wencheng was a little bored when he heard this, but he hid his smile and said: "I drank about the same wine today, and I was fortunate to listen to a few good songs." This Qinglou woman is also so beautiful. I'm afraid it makes people don't want to leave. Yu Xiao listened to Mo Wencheng's words, and was ashamed of what he did. came back to his senses and smiled: "Your Highness, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she just lives in the smoke and dust, and she is useless but helpless." It's really not liking. It's getting a little dark today, too. Shall we go back?"
Mo Wencheng did not answer. It's just that the expression between the eyebrows is soothed.
Li Wen was also intent. I don't think he likes to listen to some music and look at paintings. I was not moved by the woman's piano sound and plum, but this beauty ...... But it was enough to attract him.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw their faces. Race to vote. After only two teas, the selection was completed. There were already 300 flowers, and Liu Jin picked up 230 flowers, and it was no surprise that he became an Oiran.
"Today I declare that the Oiran is our ...... Girl Jin! Prices start at fifty taels. There's no one to bid. Mother Liu couldn't hide a few charming smiles on her face and shouted loudly. Someone downstairs answered.
"I'll give a hundred taels"
"I'll give one hundred and thirty taels"
"I'll give one hundred and fifty taels"
............
"Three hundred taels! Three hundred taels once! Three hundred taels ......"
"I'll give five hundred taels!" A tall building was only heard shouting. Look at where the sound came from. It was this Brother Li in front of Feng Lingchu.
Feng Lingchu glanced at Li Wen. Li Wen smiled: "Since Brother Feng doesn't love beauties, then Li will do it." ”
Feng Lingchu was stunned. Don't overdo it. said with a smile: "If Brother Li likes it, he will take over, and he doesn't need to say anything to me." Feng Lingchu looked at the already empty cup, thinking that he had been staying for a few hours, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Although I was surprised by the beauty, I didn't reach the point of being like. Then he said: "Since Brother Li is accompanied by a beautiful woman tonight, it must be inconvenient for Feng to disturb, and Feng will leave first." "Finished.
"Five hundred taels deal!" Heavy shouts spread in the flower building.
It was already the middle of the day, and the black clouds seemed to be very arrogant against the sky. The cold wind hit directly, Feng Lingchu shivered in his heart, tightened his clothes and walked to a tavern that did not close. Go in and have a drink. I don't know why I always feel like I'm pressed on something.
Mo Wencheng and the two appeared after him, not drinking, but went directly to the top floor room.
After being selected, the girl went back to the room first, and Liu Jin washed up again, flashing the past in her mind. In my previous life, I was still complaining that I was being auctioned off as a commodity to get the highest price, and I had to go to people to hug and have sex with others. Now my heart is as calm as water.
"Squeak!" While meditating, the door was opened. "Beauty! Beauty!" A cacophony of voices came from behind the screen. Liu Jin walked forward. I saw a middle-aged man with an old face walking towards him. The body is thick and round, and the wrinkles on his face are hooked up with an obscene smile. At this time, Liu Jin only wore a few tulle brocade clothes, with a silk belt hanging on his shoulders, a chest-length brocade dress that swayed to the ground, and the lower half of the long skirt was open on the side, revealing his long white legs with only a slight movement, reflecting the pink and tender face. provoked the man to be even more springy. She knew that the person in front of her was named Li Wen, a member of the county. Because there is an elder brother who is a general in the battalion and manages an army of 100,000, he should be a court official himself. He did all the evil things of robbing the people's daughters and oppressing the people, and he was also a flattering lord. People who are specially attached to high-ranking officials do some unsightly things and reap profits from them. And this person has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Martial arts must also be extremely high. Liu Jin looked at the man and said nothing, only smiled. He walked up to Li Wen and hooked his chin with his index finger. Said lightly: "Official." ”
Smiling even more charmingly, Li Wen looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and teased him so much, and he was completely aroused by desire. A strong thick hand grabbed his chin and pulled hard, Liu Jin leaned forward, and he waited for an opportunity to wrap his other thick hand around her waist. I want to grope on her wantonly. Jin'er's heart tightened, but she still smiled on the surface. Grab your other hand with the thick hand that wants to swim over you. With both hands off him, he turned away and walked to the table with his back on his back, his skirt swaying from side to side, exposing his long white legs full of temptation.
Liu Jin poured two glasses of wine and looked in the direction of the man, signaling the person in front of him to step forward, Li Wen stared at her with straight eyes and walked forward. Sitting down on the table, she held up a glass of wine and placed it in front of the man. Li Wen grabbed her hand with one hand and wanted to touch it. She retracted one hand and smiled: "Childe, don't worry." After drinking this cup of Chenghuan wine first, we will ...... again. There was a bit of shyness on his face.
"Okay, good, listen to the beauty. Listen to the beauties. Li Wen quickly drank the wine in his hand in one sip, and within a second, he got up and walked towards Luan Jing. A malicious smile had spread across his face. But he saw that the woman in front of him got up and walked towards the bed. Faltering.
Li Wen looked at the faintly white long legs and figure of the woman in front of him, immediately wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a lewd smile: "If you want to catch it, I like it!" and ran in the direction of Luan Jing. And the smile on Liu Jin's face was dissipating little by little. When she walked to the bed, the lights in the room went out, and the room became bright again after a few seconds. Wait for her to turn and sit down.
Li Wen had fallen to the ground. There was also a young woman standing next to her. Some of them wore light blue floral dresses. looked about twelve or thirteen years old, but there was a bit of calmness and coldness in his eyes that were not worthy of his age.
"Sister, what should I do with this person, do you want to kill her?" the girl asked, looking at Jin'er.
This person is called Lan Qing, Liu Jin's personal "shadow". ”
Liu Jin looked at Li Wen and said softly: "He is an important official in Jingzhou, and if he is killed, it is easy to get into trouble himself." For the time being, put him into bed and feed him, let him be ecstasy. ”
