Teaching Division, Lotus Garden.

In order to show the value of the Oiran, the Department of Teaching prepared a separate courtyard for each Oiran, and the small courtyard was even equipped with a small garden and pool.

The Lotus Garden is the residence of this year's new Oiran Mei Ji.

At this time, the oil lamp glowed with a golden luster, covering the whole room with a layer of golden light.

Under the oil lamp, there is a shadow, Mei Ji is wearing a flower dress, holding a brocade bag in her hand, the needle and thread are shuttling back and forth, and two mandarin ducks jump on it.

"Hiss~"

Xu was careless, the silver needle pierced the finger, and immediately red blood oozed out, and the painful Mei Ji couldn't help frowning.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Xiangxiang on the side hurriedly greeted him and said with a worried face.

"It's okay, I just got a needle prick."

Mei Ji chuckled: "I haven't embroidered for a long time, and the craftsmanship is a little rusty." ”

Xiangxiang said with a reproachful face: "Hmph, miss, your temperament is not suitable for this, and you still want to embroider something here."

Mei Ji held the stabbed finger in her mouth, handed the bag to Xiangxiang, and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang, how about taking a look at this bag I made?" After Ming'er is ready, put in some herbs, and you can make a sachet and give it to Su Gongzi. ”

Hearing Mei Ji's words, Xiangxiang's face couldn't help but cross, and she muttered: "Su Gongzi Su Gongzi, what are you talking about Su Gongzi all day long, the two of you have only met three times in total, do you know who he is?" ”

"He's just a little town guard, is it worth your effort to treat him so hard?"

"There are so many sons and daughters in Tai'an City, who do you fancy is not good, but you want to take a fancy to him?"

"I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup that guy poured on you to make you smeher."

When Mei Ji heard this, she remembered the experience of meeting Su Yu before, and her eyes couldn't help but glow with a crystal luster.

She said with a smile: "If it weren't for Su Gongzi, without that gift to Mei Ji, I wouldn't have become a well-known Oiran in Tai'an City." ”

"However, the poem for Mei Ji was bought by us with money, or it took a full five hundred yuan to buy it, looking at the world, a poem can be sold so expensive, and it is so unique."

Xiangxiang said dissatisfiedly: "This is a fair deal in itself, and everyone doesn't owe each other." ”

Mei Ji said: "Xiangxiang, you read it again and give it to me." ”

Xiangxiang was stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head and said: "The waist is like a fine willow supporting the spring breeze, looking back and dancing all the crazy dreams, fluttering like floating clouds with neon clothes, and the sideburns are dyed with frost at the end."

After reading it, Xiangxiang asked puzzledly, "Miss, why are you asking me to read this poem?" ”

Mei Ji chuckled, "Now that you can recite this poem, do you know the meaning of this poem?" ”

"What does that mean?"

Xiangxiang's little face was full of doubts, and she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "How do I know this, I can memorize it because you forced me to do it."

"The meaning of this poem is not to say the life of an Oiran?"

Mei Ji's eyes flashed with a hint of amazement, and her pretty face was full of seriousness: "Xiangxiang, you are still young, but you also have to understand one thing." ”

"Our woman's life, the most beautiful age, is only so short a few years, when that age, we will gradually get old, we are not like the lotus in the pond in front of the house, this year it bloomed, it can continue to bloom next year, we women have passed the age of twenty years, and the rest of our lives are slowly aging."

"In the years when we were at the height of our appearance, we must try our best to find a wishful husband who is worth entrusting for a lifetime."

"My mother once told me that a woman must find a worthy man as soon as possible, otherwise when he is old and decrepit, the man will look for a woman younger than you, but if you are by his side before he has made a career, he will naturally remember the days when you accompanied him before he was born."

"We women, the most important thing in this life is to find the right man."

Xiangxiang was puzzled: "That young lady, you think that Su Gongzi is the Ruyi Langjun you are worthy of entrusting your life." ”

When Mei Ji heard this, her pretty face couldn't help but flush a little red, and then nodded seriously.

When she saw Su Yu once, she never looked at Su Yu squarely.

Even if Su Yu took action to drive away a few ruffians for them, she didn't have any good feelings for him, she just felt that Zhen Wuwei was just a martial artist who could fight and kill, and he was very vulgar.

But later, after getting the poem written by Su Yu and making her shine in Tai'an City, she couldn't help but wonder, who wrote this poem?

When she got the answer from Su Yu, her heart lake finally rippled at that moment.

Her mother's admonition to her back then, after so many years, has long been put aside in a corner of her heart.

But because of that gift, it also made her realize the true meaning of what her mother said.

The morning sun is fleeting, and the face is easy to age.

If a woman can't find a man she likes at the age of her best looks, why do she think that when she is no longer beautiful, she can make a man fall in love with herself?

A woman's biggest asset in this life is her appearance.

When the appearance is no longer good, men naturally set their sights on younger and more beautiful girls.

There is no Oiran who will always maintain her appearance, but there will always be an Oiran that coincides with the cardamom years.

Xiangxiang couldn't help but say: "Miss, who is that guy, we don't know the root of the matter yet, you just think he is your wishful husband so hastily?" “

Mei Ji chuckled, "I'm sure I can't be wrong, do you remember the first time we met him?" ”

Thinking of the first time they met, Mei Ji's pretty face couldn't help but look a little shy.

In order to avoid being kicked out of the house by Kong Yangming, she deliberately showed her fragrant shoulders, and then shouted indecency, and Su Yu was at the scene at that time

"I still remember the look on his face at the time"

Mei Ji smiled and said, "His eyes were very calm at the time, and he didn't show half of his salivation because of the skin I showed. ”

"And later, the last time we saw Su Gongzi, I was already a famous Oiran in Tai'an City at that time, but he still didn't show any obsessive expression because I was Mei Ji."

"Even when I said that the next time I invited him to the Workshop Division for a cocktail party, he politely declined."

"A man who is only obsessed with women will not achieve much in his life!"

"On the contrary, when a man no longer devotes himself to women, and always thinks about making achievements, he will no longer lack women, and this is how wonderful things are in this world."

"Xiangxiang, we don't have a long life, my mother once said, looking for a man is like going to the wheat field to find an ear of wheat, we can only find an ear of wheat in the wheat field, when you find an ear of wheat that you think is full, you should immediately pick it off, and then choose to leave the wheat field, never think about whether there is a fuller ear of wheat in this wheat field"

Xiangxiang said thoughtfully: "Miss, do you think that Su Gongzi is the ear of wheat you are looking for?" ”

"There are so many sons and daughters in Tai'an City, let's find any one at random, all of them are better than him, right?"

"Look at the last time he saw him, we also bought him an admission ticket, and he was good enough to sell the ticket directly."

"I see, he is not very beautiful, but he is greedy for money, and he is extremely greedy for money, and the time we went to his house, you see how poor his family is?"

"This kind of person must be poor and afraid, so he is so greedy for money."

"Miss, if you follow him, I don't know what hard life you will have."

For Su Yu, Xiangxiang didn't have much good feelings, his own lady had paid so much for him, he was so good that he didn't even come to the drinking party, and he was blind to Miss's kindness.

Then she seemed to remember something, and said, "Besides, miss, even if you are committed to him, can he have the money to redeem you?" ”

"As far as I know, it's not a small amount of money to want to redeem the Oiran of the Sect Division, where does he have so much money for a small town guard?"

"When you are no longer an Oiran, the Workshop Division will not be like now, and will let you go"

Xiangxiang didn't finish the rest of the words.

But Mei Ji naturally understood.

The Oiran contest of the Teaching Division is held once a year.

It can be re-elected by last year's Oiran or replaced by someone else.

Once the position of Oiran is no longer in place, then Mei Ji will be forced to pick up customers, just like the other girls in the Faculty Division.

According to Xiangxiang's idea, the best destination for the young lady is to find a rich man, and then the rich man will redeem him and take him as a concubine.

In this way, Mei Ji will be able to live at least the second half of her life in fine clothes and food, and will not fall into the quagmire of the Teaching Workshop Division.

When Mei Ji heard this, she shook her head and muttered, "How many rich people are sincere to you?" ”

"He is with you because of your looks, and he will leave because of your looks, and when your looks grow old, he will abandon you like clogs."

She had heard too much about the Oiran who had been ransomed by the rich in the Teaching Division, and it was better to live a life than to have a little red lips in the Teaching Division.

There was even an Oiran who had lived a good life for a few years in front of him, but in the end he threw himself into the river and died.

I can save the money for redemption by myself, but if it is not enough this year, I will try to be re-elected as an Oiran

Mei Ji's eyes were firm, and she said secretly in her heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the Lotus Garden.

Xiangxiang couldn't help frowning, and muttered, "It's really true that you're still here to disturb people at this time." ”

"Xiangxiang, go and see who's coming." Mei Ji urged.

"Oh."

Xiangxiang nodded, then walked straight out of the inner room and came to the front yard to open the gate.

"Lan Ju, what are you doing here this big night?"

Xiangxiang saw the person coming clearly and couldn't help asking.

"Xiangxiang, has Miss Mei Ji rested?" Lan Ju gasped and said quickly.

"I'm going to rest soon." Xiangxiang said.

"Xiangxiang, you ask Mei Ji, a group of people came to the front yard today, it is from the Zhenwu Division, and there is a Master Su who has been promoted to the position of captain, and he is holding a promotion banquet in the front yard."

Lan Ju continued: "Mama asked me to come over and tell you, this Master Su is a dignified handsome man, and now he has been promoted to the rank of captain at a young age, and he may be able to rise to 100 households in the future, and the future is limitless." ”

"Mama said, if you can climb to a powerful person early, even if you are a concubine, it will be a blessing for a lifetime."

"Let's see if you can persuade Mei Ji to give a dance, or a song to a few distinguished guests."

Hey, just a school captain, what's the big deal.

Xiangxiang couldn't help pursing her lips, and then said, "Lan Ju, have you been to the other three Oiran?" ”

"I've been there already."

Lan Ju smiled bitterly: "They all said that their young lady was not well, and then refused to attend. ”

Xiangxiang smiled: "Then you go back, my young lady is also infected with a cold today, and she is about to rest." ”

Hearing this, Lan Ju had to nod, and then turned to leave.

The Oiran of the Church Division itself has a great deal of autonomy.

Since they don't want to go, the Department of Education can't force it.

This has been the rule of the Department since its establishment.

But once the identity of the Oiran is removed, then it will be forcibly arranged by the Teaching Department to receive guests

"Hmph, a school captain wants my young lady to help the fun, it's really ugly, I want to be beautiful."

Looking at the back of Lan Ju turning away, Xiangxiang muttered, then closed the door and walked straight to the inner room.

"Xiangxiang, who's coming?"

Mei Ji continued to embroider the mandarin ducks on the brocade bag, and asked without raising her head.

"It's Lamma's side."

Xiangxiang said: "I have been sent away." ”

"Oh?"

Mei Ji couldn't help asking, "What is she doing here?"

"It is said that there is a Zhenwu Division who has been promoted to the position of lieutenant, and I want you to go and dance to help the fun."

Xiangxiang said: "She also went to the other three Oiran, but they were all refused. ”

"Mama also said to Lan Ju, this Master Su is a dignified handsome man, and now he has been promoted to the captain of the school at a young age, and he may be able to promote hundreds of households in the future, and the future is unlimited."

"What kind of future can a school captain have, what kind of future can our young lady be looking for, how can it be the hundred households of the Zhenwu Division."

When Mei Ji heard this, she smiled and said: "Don't look down on the captain of the Zhenwu Division, besides, those who can be promoted to the position of the hundred households of the Zhenwu Division are at least thirty or forty years old, do you want me to find someone who is the same age as my dead father?" ”

Just after saying this, Mei Ji seemed to remember something, her pretty face changed suddenly, and then she said in a trembling voice: "What did you just say about the name of the adult who was promoted to the position of captain?" ”

"Master Su, that's what Lan Ju told me just now." Xiangxiang looked at her with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Mei Ji suddenly lost her temper.

Mei Ji looked at her, and then said, "Xiangxiang, you say, is it possible that this Master Su, who was promoted to the position of captain, is Master Su?" ”

"Impossible, right?"

Xiangxiang couldn't help but say, "He still looks so young, how can he be promoted to captain?" ”

"As far as I know, the captain of the Zhenwu Division all needs to be promoted to the Eighth Rank Copper Skin Realm, how can that guy be a Copper Skin Realm martial artist, right?"

Although he is not a martial artist, in this Great Wei that founded the country by force, even ordinary people can tell one, two, or three about the martial arts.

Su Yu is too young, and with the fact that his family is surrounded by walls, it is impossible to be promoted to lieutenant.

Mei Ji shook her head and said, "Xiangxiang, you go to the front yard to investigate, it's best to go to that Su-sama's box to take a look, see who this Su-san is, and then come back and tell me." ”

Xiangxiang said, "Miss."

Seeing this, Mei Ji raised her eyebrows, glared at her, and said, "Xiangxiang, you don't even listen to me now, do you?" Just go! ”

Xiangxiang shrank her neck when she heard this.

Only then did she remember Mei Ji's nature, she was not a gentle and graceful woman.

"Oh, then I'll go over and have a look."

After Xiang Xiang finished speaking, she hurried out of the inner room, then opened the door and walked in the direction of the front yard.

Looking at Xiangxiang's distant back, Mei Ji put the soon-to-be-completed bag on the table, her eyes were full of crystal luster, and she murmured in a low voice, "Could it be him?" ”

Until the time of a stick of incense passed, Xiangxiang stepped on the moonlight and turned back.

"How?"

Mei Ji hurriedly asked, "Is it Su Gongzi?" ”

Xiangxiang took a long breath, and said with a little face full of disbelief: "Miss, it's really a coincidence, it's really that guy!" ”

"It's just that how could he be promoted to the rank of captain? It is impossible for him to have the cultivation of the Copper Skin Realm, I remember that it is not an easy thing to ascend to the Copper Skin Realm. ”

She really couldn't figure out how that guy looked so young, and he could be promoted to the rank of captain.

Mei Ji's eyes lit up suddenly, and then she said urgently: "Xiangxiang, you go and get my moon robe and qin, I have to go and dedicate a song to Su Gongzi, and congratulate him on his promotion to lieutenant." ”

Xiangxiang couldn't help but say: "But. . . Miss, I've already told Lan Ju that you've got a cold tonight."

"Then I'll take my illness to the officials to help me."

Mei Ji glanced at her dissatisfied, and continued: "Xiangxiang, happiness has to be in your own hands, since Su Gongzi is unwilling to take the initiative, then we have to act by ourselves!" ”

"Oh."

Xiangxiang nodded, and then went to her moon robe and piano as Mei Ji instructed.

When the wine has passed three rounds and the food has passed five flavors, the atmosphere in the whole box has become extremely harmonious.

"What about the old bustard, the old bustard, the old bustard?"

Ji Longcheng seemed to remember something, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Quickly call the old bustard over, let her go and call the Oiran over, why has it been so long, and there is no letter at all?" ”

"That's it, call the bustard over!"

"Old Bustard"

In the box, a maid immediately took the order to leave.

After a while, the old bustard came to the box again with the maid.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really embarrassed, I just called someone to invite it, but it's really unfortunate, the four Oiran are weak and have contracted the wind cold."

The old bustard said with a wry smile: "In order to avoid infecting your lords, the four Oiran have already rested early, and I'm afraid they won't be able to attend your lord's banquet tonight." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

How could it be such a coincidence that all four Oiran were infected with wind and cold?

That's just why Oiran didn't want to attend the party.

The bustard was also helpless, the four Oiran were unwilling to come, and the teaching department had no way to force it.

Of course, as long as she is no longer an Oiran next year, then there is no such thing as not being able to force it.

"Old bustard, you don't have to make excuses for the four Oiran."

Ji Longcheng chuckled and said, "How can it be such a coincidence, the four Oiran are all infected with wind chill tonight?" ”

"I see, they just look down on our Lord Su, and think that a captain is not worthy of their attendance to help the fun, am I right?"

The bustard's tone froze: "Uh"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, you must have come to the Teaching Department often, and you should have a certain understanding of the rules of the Teaching Division."

The old bustard smiled and said: "The teacher can't force the Oiran to do anything she doesn't want to do, if they don't want to attend, then I have no choice, and I ask you to take care of me, or I will let the Qingluo girl who was still the Oiran of the teacher last year come to present a song to help you?" ”

Last year's Oiran of the Faculty Division?

When everyone heard this, their faces couldn't help but become a little strange.

This last year's Oiran, it is estimated that since her Oiran name is gone, this year has already changed into the shape of countless people, right?

Even the corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to make it difficult for the old bustard, and said with a smile: "Old bustard, it's not necessary to let Qingluo come over to help the fun, since the four Oiran girls don't want to come, then let them be, you can also go and do your job." ”

"Huh."

The old bustard smiled and said, "Please bear with me, then I will go down first." ”

At this moment, Lan Ju outside the box walked in, and then said quickly: "Mama, Miss Mei Ji is here." ”

Well?

When everyone heard this, their faces couldn't help but change, and the noise in the box couldn't help but stop abruptly.

Miss Becky?

Now the most popular Mei Ji in Tai'an City, her reputation even directly overshadowed the other three Oiran, and was rumored by the people in the city to be the first Oiran of contemporary Tai'an City?

She was willing to attend Su Yu's high-rise banquet?

Even the old bustard couldn't help but be stunned.

never expected that Mei Ji would come to help her.

"Then don't you invite her in." The old bustard lowered his voice.

"Yes."

Lan Ju turned to leave again.

The people in the box instantly let go of the arm holding the girl next to them, sorted out their appearance, and sat upright, looking like a decent gentleman.

Su Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.

These guys can't be mistaken for Mei Ji to take a fancy to them, right?

"Sure enough, every man always has a kind of confidence in his appearance."

Su Yu was full of slander.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't expect that Miss Mei Ji would come over."

The old bustard smiled and said: "The Mei Ji girl of our teaching department, now with a gift of Mei Ji, has become the first Oiran in Tai'an, and the current Mei Ji girl can be said to be known to everyone in Tai'an City, no one knows." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, there must be Miss Mei Ji to help the fun, everyone will definitely return happy with this high-rise banquet tonight."

Lu Ze and Lin Canglan both looked a little puzzled.

For the arrogance of the Oiran, they are obvious to all.

Since the two of them were promoted to lieutenants, what is indispensable is the entertainment between the same ranks.

This kind of high-rise banquet has always been set up in the Department of Teaching Workshop.

After all, the deepening of friendship between men is nothing more than the wine table and women.

At the wine table, seeing everyone's drunken ugliness is in itself a way to deepen mutual trust.

As for women, it can play a role in the entertainment of the program.

Inevitably, there will be people who will start to fuel the fire in front of everyone, which is also a sign of trust in other people who participate in this banquet.

But even after participating in so many high-rise banquets, the two of them had never met Oiran to help the fun.

This Mei Ji is in the limelight now, but the other three Oiran are overwhelmed.

Even now, when the big guys are talking about it, they will only discuss Mei Ji alone, and the other three Oiran have long been filtered out.

In the end, the situation created is that everyone now only admits that Mei Ji is the well-deserved Oiran of the Teaching Division, and she is the only Oiran of the Teaching Division.

And the reason for all this is the song that gave Mei Ji!

It's just that who wrote the song has always been a mystery, and Mei Ji has never told anyone else.

Could it be that today's high promotion banquet is not a great person?

The two couldn't help but look around, almost all of the people present were acquaintances, who could have the energy to let Miss Mei Ji come over?

Or, Miss Mei Ji is because of today's hero, Su Yu?

At this moment, Mei Ji had already arrived at the door of the box with the piano in her hand.

The moment they saw Mei Ji, the eyes of everyone in the box lit up.

Even Su Yu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

What a beautiful woman.

Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even if he had read countless concubines on Douyin in his previous life, the moment Mei Ji appeared, it still made Su Yu's heartbeat speed up a lot.

At this time, Mei Ji did not cover her face with a veil, and directly showed her true face.

She had a beautiful face, and her long black hair was tied up in a bun and hung down behind her.

Melon seed face, the bridge of the nose is straight, the lips are thin and moderate, the eyebrows are like mountains, the pupils are cut in autumn water, and the eyes rippling with water are shining, revealing a natural charm.

She was wearing a moon-white complex robe, which covered her body impermeable, but her proud upper circumference and graceful figure outlined the moon-white robe in a convex manner.

At this moment, the men present were directly stunned.

The moment she appeared, all the women present were instantly eclipsed, like a full moon surrounded by stars.

The eyes of the crowd could no longer stay on other women.

Facing the eyes of everyone present, Mei Ji smiled, bowed, and then said crisply: "Mei Ji has seen all the officials!" ”

After speaking, she couldn't help but look at Su Yu in the field with a hint of resentment on her pretty face, and then continued: "I heard that Master Su was promoted to captain today, Mei Ji came over specially and would like to present a song for all the officials, I hope that all the officials can come and have fun tonight." ”
