Chapter 1 The Honorable Guest

Next Chapter

Dacheng Yongyou 19 years, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou.

It has been nearly a hundred years since Dacheng unified the Central Plains, and in the past hundred years, the four seas have been leveled, the Haiyan River has been clear, and the peace has been maintained for a long time, and everyone has long forgotten the annexation war between several major Central Plains countries a hundred years ago, as well as the killing, famine and displacement in the war. Especially the wealthy nobles who have fine clothes and fine food every day, high beds and soft pillows, who still remembers that their ancestors also lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge and being precarious? It took only a few points of the family business to earn a few pieces of family business with his head on the belt of his trousers, and he was almost defeated in this peaceful and prosperous world.

Especially tonight, the teaching workshop is full of joy and joy, and it is the most lively day of the year. Because today is the "splendid banquet" of the Yingchuan Teaching Division, the newly learned music will be officially "registered" at the banquet, and their "name" will be hung on the directory of music prostitutes published by the Education Department, and they will officially start their career as music prostitutes.

At the "Splendid Banquet", the new prostitute made a grand debut, and a hundred flowers bloomed and competed on the same stage. In the eyes of the wealthy nobles, tonight is also the highlight of the year's hunting, because the person who can mark the first "escort" of the Oiran will be the dazzling star of the entire Yingchuan Fengyue field, and it is not an exaggeration to say that "the spring breeze is proud".

A young man wearing a navy blue satin embroidered robe, a tassel jade pendant around his waist, and a silver crown in his hair walked to the door of the Yingchuan County Teaching Workshop.

This person has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, sideburns like a knife, and he is handsome and handsome, if it is not for the obvious traces of sun exposure on his face, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is like a fairy in a painting. It's just that now his cold face has a solemn expression, and there is a hint of disdain in his eyes, mixed with a bit of coldness. His look didn't fit in with the atmosphere here, and he didn't look like he was here to have fun.

The two little guys who were nodding their heads and greeting the guests saw such an absent person suddenly coming to the door, and with many years of experience, they felt that they were coming to make trouble, so they glanced at each other and walked forward.

"Master, are you here for the 'Splendid Banquet'? Is there a post? ”

"Looking at the young master's eyes, I'm afraid it's the first time to come to our teaching department, right?"

The green shirt guest still stared at the door of the Teaching Workshop Division, slightly weakly eyed, and said, "Although the Teaching Workshop Division is an official place, I haven't issued a decree that you can only enter if you have a post." ”

"This ......, master, the teaching department opened the door to do business, naturally it is sincere to welcome guests from all over the world, if you usually come, then we welcome it, but tonight is our 'splendid banquet', the rule has always been to send a post invitation, if there is no invitation, please come again another day."

The green shirt guest said coldly, "Do you want the imperial court officials to be invited?" ”

When the two little guys heard this, they immediately concentrated and asked, "......!" Who are you? ”

The green-shirted guest unhurriedly took out a seal, with a blue and white jade texture, and the head of the button was a jade turtle, which was placed on the palm of his hand.

As soon as he saw the green jade seal, the little guy suddenly said, "It turned out to be a master!" The little slave has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive me! You please! After saying that, he hurriedly bent down to invite each other, and at the same time gave another person a look, telling him to hurry in and report that the distinguished guest is coming!

Although Yingchuan County is located in the center of Dacheng Country, the ships come and go, and the dignitaries and wealthy families are as many as carp crossing the river, but after all, they are more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an Mansion in Kyoto, and high-level officials are still relatively rare.

"This young master is only in his early twenties, and he can have an official of more than three grades, I'm afraid he is not from the heavenly family......" The little guy muttered as he trotted in to report to the master.

When the head of the sect drove out, the green-shirted guest had been ushered to the middle seat and served. After all, the head of the sect has seen the world in the Fengyue field, and in the past few decades, he has also seen a lot of princes and grandsons who have come to have fun in private visits, and he wants to come to this little prince and little prince in Chang'an, so he straightened his head three steps away, walked over with a smile on his face, pinched his throat and said with a smile, "The master is coming to our company, and he is not welcome, forgive his sins." ”

The green-shirted man turned his head to look at her, and then quickly put his gaze back on the stage.

"Mrs. Shaowu, you have to invite the best sisters out later, don't be selfish." After speaking, he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

The head of the sect was slightly surprised, and muttered in his heart, "This young man actually called his own name", but his face still did not change, and he smiled, "......, look at what you said, isn't the 'Splendid Banquet' just to introduce our best girls to all of you, hehe." ”

A hundred years ago, Dacheng captured many officials and family members of enemy countries in the annexation war, and was worried about how to deal with it, so the court had a flexible brain and said that it could set up a teaching workshop department in the thirteen state capitals of the country, which was subordinate to the county of Zhisuo, and the captive family members were included in it, and they practiced singing and dancing, opera, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and had the right to be used for local government communication.

As soon as this suggestion came out, it was approved by many good people, and when the emperor pushed the boat down the river, he issued an edict to set up a teaching department, headed by the "head of the teaching", and awarded the official the name "Mrs. Shaowu". Only people in the official arena or those invited by officials are allowed to enter, and at the same time, it is expressly forbidden to engage in offending morals. But as soon as the peaceful and prosperous times came, who cared about the ban, and the Jiaofang Division, which provided music and dance performances for the official family, had long been reduced to an official brothel. The ban on officials from entering and leaving civil brothels is difficult to enforce, let alone allowing officials to observe the rules of etiquette in the church halls where they can come and go freely. The Son of Heaven who sits in the hall can only turn one eye open and one eye closed.

The law of Dacheng stipulates that under the age of 15, the family members of non-monarchicide, rebellion and other extreme criminals can be exempted from the death penalty, so since the establishment of the Jiaofang Division, many criminal officials' families have not been included in it, and have become "happy" personnel. As this profiteering business became bigger and bigger, the rule of "only officials can enter" was officially abolished, and those who had money could enter. Usually polite is called "Mrs.", and the thick-skinned one is directly called "Mother" or even "Bustard Mother", who still remembers that the head of this teaching department is still a serious 800 in the editor!

Here, the master hurriedly said with a smile, "Master, we are not qualified to see what title your green jade seal is, but with your seal, you are our distinguished guest here." Our banquet will start soon, if you have any needs, just order the little ones around you. The slave family retired first. After speaking, he gave a color to the little guy around him, that is, he was optimistic about this master of unknown origin, and he should not let him spoil the fun, let alone let him smash the field.

A sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and layers of curtains hung down on the stage, and behind the curtain appeared a graceful woman, who should be the protagonists of tonight.

The audience has resounded one after another shouts, boos, not long after, the stage suddenly brightened up, a young woman wearing a moon-white light veil, white skin than snow, shaved shoulders and thin waist slowly danced out from behind the curtain, light gauze clothes, fluttering belts, waist-length hair, but also set off the beauty of the otherworldly, I see pity.

After a while, the people in the audience began to cheer and thunder, the end of the song, the seven new prostitutes on the stage were blessed with a curtain call, and the head teacher also came out from behind the scenes, and introduced them to the ranking officials one by one, and after the introduction, they began to auction the first escort, the so-called first escort, that is, the first night, in the official place, naturally it can't be said too explicitly, not to mention, Dacheng still explicitly prohibits stealing and adultery.

In the center is naturally the top brand Oiran, and it is also the last auction, the head coach and her deputy stand on both sides of the seven people, leading a woman out of the queue in turn, and after speaking an opening remark, it will be to the point, "This is Liu Yan girl, 16 years old, and she was also the daughter of a big family before, the best dance of Yale, everyone, make a bid." ”

The audience began to shout one after another, "100 taels", "120 taels", ...... "150 taels!" As soon as they heard this price, everyone followed the prestige, and saw that it was a middle-aged man about forty years old, five short figures, dressed in satin, with a mustache, and the appearance of a wealthy businessman, who laughed and shook his beard.

"Okay, Liu Yan, hurry up and serve the master, but what about your first benefactor, serve well." The head of the sect smiled from ear to ear, after all, the people who were assigned to the teaching department outside Kyoto were all some relatively ordinary prisoners and daughters, and the better ones were snatched away by the big states such as Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and those who came to Yuzhou were already very ordinary. I picked the best one to be an escort, and I trained for two or three years before I could get a membership, which cost a lot of firewood, rice, oil and salt. No matter what happens in the future, let's make money back on this business at the beginning of the night.

In the bidding and shouting again and again, the head of the teaching class looked at the young man who was in the middle of the seat from time to time, and thought, "This young man is handsome and chic, and he is also a first-class disciple of the gatekeeper...... No, it is also a great blessing for ordinary wealthy officials! ”

But every musician was asked to leave at a high price, but he remained silent, just picked up his wine glass from time to time and took a few sips.

"The last one, and the most beautiful of our girls this time, is the dust girl! I don't need to say more, when the dust girl was still in the boudoir, there were many masters who wanted to kiss Xiangze, hahaha......", before the master finished speaking, there was a shouting price in the audience, and the current price was not the price of the first time. "1000 taels", "1200 taels"...... Hearing the bid, the audience was full of gasping and admiring.

Chuchen is not only the best in this group of girls, but also the best in the entire teaching department, with a bent smoke eyebrows, a pair of red phoenix eyes, a goose egg face, and a cherry mouth. With her own innate advantages, Chuchen has always been proud of herself, lonely and self-appreciative, never taking these ordinary people in her eyes, she firmly believes that she will be the number one Oiran in the official private education workshop of Yuzhou City.

Chuchen has long noticed the young man in the middle seat, with a navy blue satin robe and a silver crown in his hair, which makes the protagonist more and more arrogant, and he is a suave and graceful person, and the people in the audience are not as good as him compared to him. She felt that he was waiting for her, after all, she was the brightest pearl here.
