Chapter 900: Qin Huai Bayan
The merchant ship went half a mile further, and the merchant ship that was about to sink upstream was already blurred in people's sight, and it had already been out of the range of Qian Laomo's martial soul, and suddenly, there was a muffled sound of "bang", and there was a heavy object falling, and everyone followed the sound to look, but it was a piece of baggage that fell on the edge of the ship's side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Immediately afterwards, four wet water ghosts climbed back to the ship one after another, and one of them opened his baggage, revealing a pile of gold bars in Huang Cancan, and said: "The leader of the alliance, two thousand taels of gold are here." ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded slightly, and said with a slight smile: "Well, the cost of this trip has been earned, and when you get to Nanjing, the brothers will go to the gambling house and be happy." ”
The thieves all cheered, and some people longed: "This is two thousand taels of gold, I'm afraid I can't buy all the kiln sisters in Nanjing City......"
As the saying goes, "gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times", which means that the more war-torn eras, the more precious gold is. The two thousand taels of gold in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen are much more valuable than the two thousand taels that Yin Susu hired Du Dajin in the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, and it can also be seen that the chaos in the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty was even worse than that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
"I don't know. Zheng Zhilong interrupted the bandit who had never seen the world and said: "You think Nanjing is comparable to our Putian, Zhangzhou, and Nan'an? ”
When the bandits heard this, their faces were as pale as earth, and the bandits before were unwilling, and they snorted: "This ...... Isn't that too expensive? Can't you buy it overnight? Even if they're all golden, they shouldn't be like this......"
Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "The more I talk about it, the more rustic it becomes, I heard that those eight women are all selling their art and not selling their bodies, if you buy it for two thousand taels for one night, how can you embarrass the dignitaries and nobles in Nanjing?"
Zheng Zhilong preached, but it aroused Qian Qingjian's interest, just because of the story of "Blue Blood Sword" in his memory, only the boatman on the Qinhuai River mentioned to Yuan Xia that Bian Yujing, Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun and Liu Ru are four geisha, there is no doubt that these four women should be the fourth of Qin Huai's eight yans, but I don't know who the other four are.
Although he has always memorized the golden book backwards, this is through the golden finger that comes with it, but after all, he has no search engine in his head, and he can't find Du Niang's help, so he asked: "Does the head of the alliance know what the name of this Qin Huai Bayan is?"
Zheng Zhilong was very happy when he heard this, and said in his heart that you finally have something you don't know to ask me, and it just so happens that I still know about it, so he said: "I once heard the legend of friends in the rivers and lakes, saying that this Qin Huai Bayan is Chen Yuanyuan, Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujing, Liu Ruyi, Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun, Ma Xianglan and Kou Baimen......"
Only hearing the three words Chen Yuanyuan, Qian Qingjian was already shocked in his heart, it turned out that Chen Yuanyuan, who was captivating the country and the city, was also one of these eight people, and the remaining seven people could be tied with Chen Yuanyuan, so it seems that Qin Huai Bayan must be extraordinary.
Although Qian Laomo has never seen Chen Yuanyuan himself, he recognizes Chen Yuanyuan's appearance very much, and this recognition comes from a comparison.
It is said that in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Emperor Kangxi once sighed, saying that although he has 3,000 beauties in the harem, he can't compare to Wei Xiaobao's seven ladies.
The emperor's harem was originally a place where the beauties of the whole country gathered, and the outstanding beauties of the whole country combined were not as good as Wei Xiaobao's seven wives, which shows how high the appearance of Wei Xiaobao's seven wives is!
However, when Wei Xiaobao met the forty-six-year-old Chen Yuanyuan, he found that his seven wives were nothing, and even the most beautiful of the seven ladies, Ah Ke, that is, Chen Yuanyuan's biological daughter, could not be compared with his biological mother!
From this point of view, how far has Chen Yuanyuan's appearance become? It is the existence of a beautiful woman who has given birth to a child and is nearly fifty years old, and is still the best in the world!
In ancient times, there was a smile and a smile that fascinated the country, but it was just King Zhou You's obsession, that is, the so-called beauty of praise, and it was only King Zhou You who was fascinated.
But what about Chen Yuanyuan? Chen Yuanyuan is to catch and lose anyone, and with his body of broken flowers and willows, he has won countless victories in the world. only said that the important people in the world, she first fascinated Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and then fascinated Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and the civil and military officials of the Dashun regime represented by Liu Zongmin.
Qian Qingjian has always believed that if there is a beautiful woman in this world who can compete with Chen Yuanyuan's appearance, then it can only be the legendary Yin Shang Emperor Concubine Su Daji. Su Daji, the nine-tailed fox incarnate, is the existence that paralyzes Jiang Ziya's entire army of millions of men, and Nezha, who is the incarnation of the lotus, can't stand her beauty, and no one can cut it tied to Yuanmen!
When he was secretly born with emotion, he heard Zheng Chenggong take his Lao Tzu's words and continued: "These eight girls are extremely talented, beautiful as flowers, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, all of them are all perfect, all of them are refined, and among them, Chen Yuanyuan is full of color, Gu Hengbo sings superbly, Bian Yujing is the best at calligraphy, Liu Ru specializes in poetry, Dong Xiaowan is proficient in cooking, Ma Xianglan is better than painting, Li Xiangjun is good at dancing with long sleeves, and Kou Baimen is touching in pipa, but this Kou Baimen has been good last year, and Bayan only has Qiyan left, which is really a pity." ”
Zheng Sen went to Nanjing last year and paid homage to Qian Qianyi, who was the head of the contemporary Donglin Party, known as the first Confucian scholar.
And what these literary and elegant people did in the past day was to linger in the song stage and dance pavilions, chant poems against each other when the wine was hot, and criticize the political situation.
As the same kind of literati as these literati, Zheng Sen certainly knew more about Qin Huai Bayan's rumors than his father, and this time he talked about it as if he had a great friendship with Bayan.
Maybe it was because Qian Qingjian provoked this remark, or maybe it was out of his habitual contempt for old Qian, Zheng Sen finished talking about Bayan's specialty, and actually found Qian Qingjian: "If you judge it by Uncle Qian's appearance, this Qin Huai Bayan's appearance is rare in the world, when he arrives in Nanjing, the little nephew is looking forward to accompanying Uncle Qian to find Fang and hunt for beauty, but I don't know if Uncle Qian will be lucky enough to meet one of the seven Yan." ”
This sounds like the respect of the juniors to the elders, but in fact, it is a satire on the old money who looks down on the three girls before, and the underlying meaning is, aren't you high-minded? Then let you see the real stunning beauties, but I'm afraid that other stunningly beautiful women will not give you the opportunity to meet at all.
But then again, Zheng Sen's words are not simply looking down on Qian Qingjian. Just because this Qin Huai Bayan is famous, and it has been held to the sky by the officials and Confucian magnates of Jinling, even if it is a high-ranking official Ma Shiying, Hongru Qian Qianyi, if you want to invite one of the Bayan, it is also necessary to make an appointment, like the Zheng family father and son, if there is no local well-known acquaintance to see, I am afraid that I will not be able to see Bayan's face with only two thousand taels of gold, let alone the blind Qian Fatman.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong could hear that his son's words were thorny, and his face was on the side, but he didn't know how to stop it, if he said it clearly, it would inevitably hurt Qian Qingjian's face. After hesitating, he saw that Qian Qingjian only smiled slightly, and asked, "Is Chen Yuanyuan still in Nanjing now?"
Lao Qian asked this because he knew that when Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain locust tree in the Forbidden City in February next year, Chen Yuanyuan would already be living in the capital as Wu Sangui's concubine. However, when did Chen Yuanyuan arrive in Beijing, and when did she become Wu Sangui's concubine? If she was already in Beijing now, then Qin Huai Bayan would only be left with Liuyan.
Zheng Sen didn't know what Lao Qian meant by this, but he was afraid of exposing the truth of his hearsay, and in line with the principle that you don't know what I don't know, he forced himself to say: "Of course Chen Yuanyuan is in Nanjing, what's the matter? Uncle Qian intends to take her as a concubine?"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Zhilong changed color, and said in his heart, Fusong, you are too much, that Chen Yuanyuan is beautiful in the world, and he is known as the best of the eight beauties, what ability does Qian Qingjian have to marry her as a concubine?
Zheng Zhilong was about to scold his son a few words, but he heard Qian Qingjianyun say lightly: "Oh, if she is really in Nanjing, I will accept her as a maid, so what's the matter?"
As soon as these words came out, the Zheng family's father and son were shocked, and Zheng Sen's face turned red, and he said loudly: "Okay! If Uncle Qian can accept Chen Yuanyuan, I, Zheng Mingyan, will worship from now on, and I am willing to attach Uncle Qian's tail and serve Uncle Qian for the rest of my life." ”
Qian Qingjian shook his head and smiled, but he was silent. Besides, how many years can you live in total? You have served me all your life, didn't you curse me to die early?

PS: First, Zheng Mingyan, Zheng Chenggong's words;
2. According to the timeline of this book, this time should be 1643 A.D. According to historical records, in 1643, Liu Ru in Qin Huai Bayan had been married to 59-year-old Qian Qianyi for two years.
However, in the original work of "Blue Blood Sword", the boatman on the Qinhuai River said that Liu Ru was still "in business", considering that such a famous prostitute married to the great Confucianism of the time violated the moral norms of the time (the moral code in the last years of the Ming Dynasty was that the scholars and doctors were looking for flowers and asking willows and sleeping flowers and staying in willows were all graceful and uninhibited, and they were talked about, but if the women in the Qinglou were married to their wives and concubines, it would be unethical and unethical). And such an old husband and young wife should be a strange anecdote, it will be rumored in the streets and alleys of Jinling, how can the boatman who sails on the Qinhuai River all day not know? How can he introduce Liu Ru to Yuan Chengzhi and men's Xia Qingqing?
Therefore, if this matter is not verified by Jin Lao, it can only be said that the boatman in Jin Lao's pen has his brain in water. But in any case, since the original work of "Blue Blood Sword" is written like this, then this book will be based on the original work, and Liu Ru will be in a state of "business".
When the setting in the original book is different from the historical data, this book should be based on the original work, which is the creative principle of "Martial Arts World Little Dragon Set". Just like the Song people singing Yuan songs in the plot of the Condor Shooting, it was also written in accordance with this principle.
It's still not easy to use, so I'll do it today.
