Chapter Twenty-Seven

If you want to talk about the most famous Qinglou in history, it should be the Fan Lou, the head of the 72 main shops in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

Fan Lou became famous because of Master Li, and Master Li became famous because of Song Huizong.

Fan Lou is not only a geisha of Master Li, but a large number of geisha with both talents and appearances!

It is rumored that if you want to face the well-known geisha in Fan Lou for the next game of chess, you first have to mention a poem or word on the screen at the door of Fan Lou, and if you write well, you can only meet the geisha you want to see if you pay ten taels or twenty taels of silver.

After seeing it, if you have a good conversation with the geisha, then you may be able to listen to a little song or two after playing chess, and it must be the one you just asked at the door, if you don't talk very well, then you can basically leave.

As for what kind of guests enter the curtain, what is dirty and vulgar, that does not exist, because geisha are selling their art, not selling their bodies, and those who sell their bodies are called prostitutes.

Qinglou has nothing to do with vulgarity, and geisha is basically no different from the stars of later generations, it represents a kind of culture.

Cultures that complement each other!

How can a new word written by a talented person without fame be widely circulated? It's the geisha's cherry mouth.

What do geisha rely on to add color? First of all, it must be beautiful, this is a hard requirement, and there is absolutely no room for discussion.

Secondly, it is necessary to rely on new words, and talented people write new words to sing for their favorite geisha, and the more new words the geisha sing, the greater the fame, so a virtuous circle is formed.

Talking about geisha in Daming, Qin Huai Bayan must not be spared, the eight women have different experiences, but they are all beautiful women with both talent and beauty, and Qin Huaihe has become a first-class wind and moon place for Daming drunken gold fans.

Tingyinlou can become the top restaurant in Huzhou Mansion, and it is also inseparable from geisha.

In Huzhou Mansion, there will be a Hundred Flowers Competition every year, and the top three in the Hundred Flowers Competition will become Huzhou Sanyan, who will go to Hangzhou Mansion West Lake to participate in the annual Oiran Awards!

The process is basically the same as scientific research......

The well-known geisha after local battles and then to the finals to stand out, if you can become the top three, will inevitably double in value, want to come out in the Oiran competition, also need glamorous and new words, it is precisely because of the existence of this competition mechanism, the humanities and culture in Huzhou will not lose to other prefectures in Zhejiang.

Last year, Yan Wei, the top of the Hundred Flowers Competition in Huzhou Mansion, is now the top brand of Tingyinlou, and next year will also go to West Lake on behalf of Huzhou Mansion to participate in the Oiran Awards.

But as long as it is a beauty, and it is a beauty who is well-known in the entire Huzhou Mansion, it is a face-saving thing to have dinner together, as for the silver, what is it?

Zhu Houwei knows very well that wine alone can indeed attract a large number of customers, and even make Wangfu Restaurant one of the top restaurants in Huzhou.

But it is impossible to surpass the Tingyin Building, and if you want to get closer to or even surpass the Tingyin Building, the Wangfu Restaurant not only depends on wine, but also on famous tricks!

In these years, there are many ways to source geisha, such as the decline of the big family, the original ladies and daughters of the family have a high probability of falling into the Qinglou, this kind of women's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are almost proficient, and there is no wind and dust on the body, which can attract a group of high rollers.

But the most important type is that Qinglou itself has been cultivated since childhood, this kind of woman has a higher sense of belonging to Qinglou, born in Qinglou and died as a ghost in Qinglou, unless she is ransomed as a concubine by a dignitary or a wealthy gentleman, otherwise she will become the mother-in-law or even the old bustard when she is old and decrepit.

The last category is the house that was raided by the government, and the women in the family were sold or directly charged to the Ministry of Education.

Zhu Houwei is in Huzhou, although Huzhou is his fiefdom, but to say that his foundation in Huzhou is still very shallow, it is almost impossible to cultivate geisha from an early age, and Zhu Houwei feels that if he really trains a girl of a few years old as a geisha, it will be a loss of conscience.

After all, the geisha at this time were still lowly after all, but the treatment of stars in later generations was just the opposite.

Therefore, if the royal government wants to use geisha to give the restaurant town, the best way is to buy it!

Of course, there is another way, that is, to go to the Jiaofang Division in the name of King Yong, and the prince wants a few geisha, but the Jiaofang Division does not have the courage to refuse, but Zhu Houwei didn't do that.

Buying a geisha, in Zhu Houwei's impression, the first is naturally Jinling, the southern capital of Qinhuai River.

Emperor Taizu built the capital Jinling Stone City, Qinhuai River has become a first-class Fengyue prosperous place for drunken gold fans, speaking of Qinhuai River Fengyue, the most famous is naturally Qinhuai Bayan.

Chen Yuanyuan, who was angry at the crown, was red-faced.

Li Xiangjun in the peach blossom fan.

Liu Ru, who resisted the Qing Dynasty with all his might.

Poetry and painting are both peerless, Bian Yujing.

Kou Baimen, Ma Xianglan, Dong Xiaowan, Gu Hengbo......

One name after another has illuminated the Qinhuai River and lit up the ages.

A large part of the reason why Bayan is so famous is because of the times, but it does not mean that in other eras, Qinhuai Fengyue was weaker than the end of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Houwei arranged for someone to go to Jinling, and did not use the name of King Yong, in fact, it may not be a bad thing if he is in the name of King Yong, after all, the bigwig of the court would prefer to see a waste prince who is addicted to wine and has no ambitions.

30,000 taels of silver, six Qing people collected in the major painting boats of the Qinhuai River entered the Yongwang Mansion, these six Qing people can only be regarded as a little famous on the Qinhuai River, so it is not difficult to buy as long as the price is fair.

If it is the top girl of each painting boat, she may not be able to buy one for 30,000 taels of silver......

Don't think that the quality of a few thousand taels of silver is not guaranteed, for the girls, the situation is equally important, this is like a talented scholar to take the exam, even if he is full of money and writes the paper, but it does not dislike the examiner, then even if he can pass the exam, he will not be in high school.

Girls need someone to support them if they want to be famous, which is the same reason that later generations of celebrities have to rely on scandals if they want to be famous, but the more celebrity scandals, the higher the attention, the higher the popularity, and it doesn't matter whether it is a good name or a bad name, after all, there are always people who like to hold stinky feet.

But if there is a scandal in the Qing Dynasty, it will basically be over, and today's masters don't like to be covered in dust, and it is impossible to have the slightest interest in a pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, and a woman with half red lips and ten thousand tastes.

If you want to be famous, you have to sing lyrics, and a talented person needs a famous singer to sing his own words to increase his popularity, so a talented person is more willing to give his words to a famous geisha, so only the words that are not the top brand can have a chance to fall on the head of the second-class geisha......
