213 Baihualou
Baihualou, the famous building of Qinhuai that has existed since the period of the previous dynasty, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, after several changes of hands, and finally by a mysterious rich businessman, and after decades of painstaking management, it has become one of the most famous green buildings on the entire Qinhuai River.
The quality of a green house's business largely depends on whether the green house's Oiran is famous enough. Generally speaking, the Oiran on the Qinhuai River can basically maintain a glamorous reputation for three or five years, not because these Oiran looks old after three or five years, but the guests who come to the Qinhuai River to buy drunk are all people who like the new and hate the old.
As long as the Oiran in the building loses popularity, the business of the entire building will be a lot colder, so choosing a good Oiran is the top priority of every shopkeeper on the Qinhuai River. Some shopkeepers even went to Xihu and southern Xinjiang and other places to find young girls of different races to bring back to this Jiankang city to make money.
And the reason why this Baihualou can prosper on the Qinhuai River for a long time lies in the Oiran. The Oiran of Baihualou is different from other places, never for the sake of the limelight and the novel kitsch way, its Oiran in addition to the beautiful appearance, but also need to have the world's amazing talent.
For example, this generation of Oiran is the world's best in the piano, and even the millennium school palace in Xiangyang City has rated its piano attainments as the top three piano masters in the past hundred years. And the previous generation of Oiran of Baihualou is famous for his chess skills, and it is rumored that the Oiran of that year was able to fight with the former chess saint Qiu Guanzi.
Therefore, the Oiran of this Baihualou, it is difficult for ordinary people to see each other, and the prince and grandson can also sit down to listen to a song or talk about a game with a lot of money, such a gorgeous character, plus a strange commodity can live and has always been a performer who does not sell his body, I don't know how many amorous high-rollers are worried about their stomachs and lingering, and their glamorous reputation can last for a long time, naturally it is not comparable to ordinary rouge and vulgar fans.
Take this Li Xiangjun as an example, how many celebrities in the world are complacent about being their guests and sharing the elegance of the piano with them, and I don't know how many scholars and students want their own lyrics and music to be seen by her.
Of course, the people who hold Li Xiangjun high are not all for the sake of the Pomeranians, at least there are many people in this Jiankang City who are actually going behind Li Xiangjun's back.
Just like now, Wang Shen, who finally squeezed into the crowd, found that there were all kinds of people in the crowd in front of the Baihualou, in addition to the bohemian rich sons and lonely talents in the rivers and lakes, there were also many court officials who looked a little official at a glance.
And this Baihualou is also very good at doing business, not only the building is full of people, but also a lot of exquisite tables and chairs are placed outside the building, Wang Shenyi inquired and knew that the location in this building is reserved for the frequent visitors of Baihualou with status, and the outside of the building is prepared for distant guests who come to visit. It's just that if this distant guest wants to sit outside the building, he has to pay a full ten taels of silver for tea.
Ten taels of silver in exchange for a small seat outside the building, Rao is Wang Shen is not short of money now, but he was really taken aback. But when he saw that even the small seats outside the building were already full, the hand touching his purse was a little less calm.
Hey, I originally thought I was a rich man, but when I went to this Jiankang City, I didn't have enough money for people to drink tea for a few days, and I instantly lost a little confidence.
But fortunately, Wang Shen is still a good master, the money is not enough, but he is still very good at crowding, and it is easy to get to the front row of the crowd with a few moves, and then follow the example of others, and look up at the top floor of this Baihualou.
Baihualou is one of the tallest buildings by the Qinhuai River, with a total of six floors, and the first to second floors are halls, which are bustling with people at the moment. More than three floors are private rooms that are independent of each other, each with a false window, and the people downstairs can't see the situation inside, but through the window, Wang Shen can still see the figure in the inside, swaying and pushing the cup to the lamp, which is extremely lively.
The private room is generally only qualified to enter by the powerful and famous in the city, but Li Xiangjun is now on the sixth floor, and the last floor is an attic that is transparent on all sides, which is particularly chic, and there are no doors and windows except for a few pillars around it, but there are layers of light veil hanging under the eaves between the pillars. As soon as the wind blows, the light yarn flutters out, like flowing clouds and water sleeves, which is particularly elegant and sultry.
At this time, in addition to the cloud-like light veil on the sixth floor attic, there are also two particularly huge lanterns, but the lantern is really not very attractive to Wang Shen, although the lanterns hanging on both sides of the Qinhuai River are different, and they are all extremely magnificent in order to attract guests, but in his eyes, there is no lantern in this world that can compare to the spirit of the Yin Division's soul-attracting golden lantern.
One person is more than one person tall, twelve doors and twelve corners, the whole body is cast in gold, the bright red road talisman is all over the body, and thousands of soul fires linger inside.
"Hey, I don't know what Miss Li will do this year. ”
A brocade-clothed boy beside Wang Shen shook his head and sighed bitterly, looking at him like this, he didn't seem to have much confidence.
"Hey, what does he matter, is it possible that you really want to go upstairs for a while?"
The other man with a long sword could see it.
"Hmph, how do you know I don't have a chance? I'm different from you, this Miss Li has been an Oiran in Baihualou for five years, and I have carefully studied the questions every year!"
Brother Gongzi was not convinced.
The swordsman looked at him curiously and asked, "Oh, you still come prepared, then tell me what this Oiran will do this year?"
As soon as he asked this, Brother Gongzi's expression darkened again, and he shook his head and said, "I can't guess either, this Miss Li improvises every year, and she can't figure it out at all." Last year, I thought she would have a question related to music or this Tanabata Festival, but who knew that she had a question called Sesame Candy. Who can answer this kind of question?"
The swordsman was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then who answered this question of sesame candy in the end?"
"A Sesame Candy Vendor in the West of the City......"
"Ahh
He didn't answer anything, but gave him a piece of hot sesame candy that had just come out of the cage, and then went up and listened to the song for two hours. ”
Hearing the scholar's words, the swordsman was dumbfounded, not only him, but Wang Shen behind him was also dumbfounded, originally he didn't have much interest in this Oiran, just came to take a look according to Xiaobai's meaning, but when he heard this scholar say this, he suddenly felt a little curious in his heart, and suddenly wanted to see what the woman hidden behind the layers of light veil looked like, why just holding a Qixi Lantern Festival would cause a sensation in the city.
And just when Wang Shen was guessing in his heart, there was a disturbance in the surrounding crowd, Wang Shen looked up and saw that a shadow appeared on the top attic of the originally empty Baihua Building, and the shadow was holding a delicate and small lantern in his hand.
