Chapter 17 The First Arrival of the Teaching Division
The Department is closed during the day and only opens at night.
During the day, the servants need to clean up and clean up the household garbage left by the guests last night.
After a long night's journey, the girls needed a rest.
And those oirans, in addition to resting, also have to think about the entertainment items during the tea gathering tonight.
Although they are also the same teachers and actors, but Oiran is different from ordinary girls, most of the time is a show of art and not a body, they are often proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and some of the Oiran poetry skills are even no less than a list of Jinshi.
At the end of Shen Shi, Shen Lian dressed up in disguise, changed into decent clothes borrowed from Zhao Gang, and rushed to the inner city.
At the city gate, the Jin Wuwei soldiers stationed at the city gate checked Shen Lian's entry documents and photo stickers, that is, ID cards, and simply searched his body, and after confirming that he did not carry controlled knives, he was allowed to pass.
This was Shen Lian's first time entering the city, and as soon as he passed through the city gate, he was shocked by the bustling scene in front of him.
The inner city is the real capital!
Because of housing prices, only wealthy people can live here.
Compared with the outer city, it is simply a world of difference, and the prosperity here makes him feel like he is dreaming of returning to Chang'an.
The roads are wider, the houses are better, the people are constantly coming, the clothes are more prosperous, and even the chatty temperament of the roadside vendors is very different from that of the outer city.
Of course, there are more street patrol officers.
The outer city is only responsible for the patrol department, but the inner city is different, there are Jin Wuwei, military machine guards, royal sword offices, etc. on the bright side, and there are also Yulin guards and the famous shadow secret guards in the dark.
In short, safety is fully guaranteed, and staying open at night is the norm.
Further inside the inner city is the imperial city, which is an area where only the emperor's relatives can live, to put it bluntly, only with the emperor's relatives.
The Imperial City is a palace city, which is not large in area and is the exclusive area of the emperor.
In between, the vast majority of the city's functional buildings are concentrated in the inner city.
The Department is located in the core area of the inner city, which is equivalent to the East Third Ring Road.
Near dusk, Shen Lian finally came to the famous Jiaofang Division.
Unlike the Qinglou in the outer city, there are no girls leaning out of the windows, dancing handkerchiefs, and shouting to the children passing by on the street: Uncle is here to play.
There are no four- or five-story buildings like ordinary green buildings.
The Department is a huge area enclosed by a circle of two-storey buildings, with an estimated area of at least 7,000 acres.
Shen Lian looked at the endless exterior wall and couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of state-owned enterprises.
All kinds of luxury carriages are parked in a special parking area, which is guarded by special personnel, like a parking lot in later generations.
As the distance got closer and closer, Shen Lian heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras coming from the courtyard, as well as Qing Yue's moving singing voice.
At this moment, Shen Lian became excited for some reason.
Listening to the voice of the drunken gold fan, he secretly decided: When this trouble is solved, I will come to play a few more times!
Outside the door of the teaching workshop, the servant and the maid who are in charge of welcoming the guests maintain a professional smile and happily invite the guests in.
Shen Lian came to the door, followed the example of his predecessors, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and his head held high.
Before the front foot stepped into the gate, he was stopped by the servant.
"This master looks at the eyes, is it the first time to come?"
Eyes so good?
"Hmm." Shen Lian nodded and answered truthfully.
"Please pay ten taels of silver." The little guy still smiled, but his tone changed a lot.
What? Ten taels of silver?
Shen Lian was surprised, what kind of operation is this? That person didn't pay the money just now.
"According to the rules of the sect, you can only enter if you pay ten taels of silver." The little guy said.
"Why didn't that person pay just now?"
Sister, the teaching department is also bullying?
"You say Wang Gongzi? He is a monthly subscription, one hundred taels a month, and he can come several times. The little guy explained slightly.
...... Can I still apply for a monthly pass?
Shen Lian tearfully handed over ten taels of silver, and secretly swore to himself: Where there is a miasma, Lao Tzu will never come again!
Entering the courtyard, before Shen Lian could enjoy the surrounding scene, he was knocked down by two people dressed as scholars who were passing by in a hurry.
"This brother, you're okay, you're in a hurry, it's definitely not a deliberate move, and I hope Brother Tai won't blame you." The tall and thin scholar who knocked down Shen Lian hurriedly helped Shen Lian up and apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Lian got up, patted the dust on his body, and asked casually, "Childe is in a hurry, what's the matter?"
"Brother Tai doesn't know, today's Yunshuang Niangzi's Qin Yaju played tea around, I waited for the hearing about it, and immediately rushed over, if it's late, I'm afraid there will be no seats." The scholar replied.
Shen Lian was curious, Yunshuang lady? Is it famous?
The seats are full, and you can go elsewhere.
At this time, the man who was with the tall and thin scholar said a little impatiently: "If the brother is okay, the two of us will go first, this Yunshuang lady is the head of the Jiaofang Division, and only plays a tea circle every three days, it is said that the son of the court's official department has repeatedly expressed his willingness to offer 10,000 taels of silver, just to enter the private room to have a drink, but was rejected by the Yunshuang lady, saying that no matter who it is, if you want to enter the private room, you must win the tea round. ”
For playing tea circles, Shen Lian has done his homework, and he has consulted Zhao Gang before.
The so-called tea enclosure, that is, in the Oiran lady's courtyard drinking, listening to music, during the Oiran lady will come forward to preside over the wine order, most of the Oiran set a theme, the scene of the people chanting poems to make pairs, if there is a particularly brilliant, Oiran lady is satisfied, after the tea enclosure will be invited into the private room, alone with the Oiran lady turbid wine.
If it happens that this person has an excellent image and temperament, and can speak and coax the Oiran to be happy, then he will be left for the night and have in-depth exchanges; Instead, the Oiran will play a song and send the other person away.
Hearing the words of the servant of the ministry, Shen Lian was suddenly shocked, and he wanted to take a closer look at the matter, but found that the two people in front of him had already trotted away.
From their eager pace, the two of them were really anxious.
Yunshuang girl? If you get a favor, you may be able to find a lot of useful information from her.
Thinking of this, Shen Lian took a step and hurried behind the two of them to Miss Yunshuang's courtyard, Qin Yaju.
At this time, Shen Lian saw a long queue outside the door of Qin Yaju, which was longer than the queue in his previous life to make cotton swabs and pound his throat.
And the two scholars who had just spoken to him were standing at the back of the line in pain, constantly looking ahead on tiptoe.
Qin Yaju has a limited place, and Shen Lian is sure that these two people are definitely out of play.
If they can't get in, they can't get in, but what should I do?
Standing in place and frowning and thinking for a while, Shen Lian stared at a young man in green clothes at the front of the team, who was obese and didn't look very smart, and his eyes lit up.
Pregnant!
