Ye Xingyuan heard someone greet him, stretched out his head to look out the window, it turned out that this person was the son of the cousin of the Lu family in Shilipu outside the city, and wanted to follow Tang Shiyan's cousin Lu Wei to learn poetry. It seems that he is also a school student, but he has not seen it in the past few days.

At the Lu family that day, Lu Wei didn't even want to meet his cousin at first, but he didn't expect that today's tone was flattering and affectionate. Sure enough, it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, everything is good if you are famous, Ye Xingyuan sighed in his heart.

Ye Xingyuan didn't want to pretend to be deaf and dumb in public, so he just nodded his head to say hello. But Lu Wei climbed up the pole as if he had won the jade decree of Lunyin, went upstairs happily, and squeezed into a group of talented people.

Walking up to Ye Xingyuan, Lu Wei bowed to the end and said with a smile: "My cousin is talented, I already knew him at home that day, and I blame my father and mother for not knowing Mount Tai and neglecting my cousin." Today I have come to make amends and ask my cousin Haihan. ”

Thinking of the Lu family's face, Ye Xingyuan was also bored, at that time, it was not only his cousin and aunt who were snucker, but also the eldest son of Lu.

But now, there is no need to worry too much about this kind of snob, Ye Xingyuan only said lightly: "They are all relatives, don't worry." "But it's impossible to make him any more enthusiastic.

Tang Shiyan recognized Lu Wei, but now he was half drunk, and he spoke even more unscrupulously, "What are you doing here?" The son of a wine seller, Lu Yi Tongsheng, only feels tacky and compelling!"

This is almost to drive people in person, but Lu Wei just didn't hear it, and went to Ye Xingyuan with a smile on his face, but he was deep enough to be thick-skinned. However, he was spoiled by his parents, and he read a little roundabout, and he was not very good at speaking, and he only said a few words around and around, which was counterproductive.

Ye Xingyuan was impatient to hear this, and he expected that he would have something to ask for, so he asked bluntly: "Cousin looking for me, what is the matter?"

Lu Daxi was overjoyed, what he was waiting for was Ye Xingyuan's words, he looked around, gritted his teeth, and fell to his knees with a thud, begging: "I don't ask for anything else, my cousin's poetry is superb, I just ask my cousin to teach me to compose poetry!"

Ye Xingyuan was also taken aback, when he was in the Lu family, Lu Wei endured Tang Shiyan's poisonous tongue and asked to learn poetry, his attitude was extremely respectful, and now he knelt down in public.

Can he really be so obsessed with poetry? But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it? It is really impossible to bow down between cousins, Ye Xingyuan stretched out his hand to help Lu Wei up, and asked puzzledly: "Why does my cousin want to learn to compose poetry so much?"

Tang Shiyan next to him sneered, squinted at Lu Wei, shook his head and said, "What else can be the reason? In the past few months, the young scholars in Fucheng all want to learn poetry from their teachers, and it's not for the golden autumn oiran of the ** month?"

Lu Wei sneered on his face, this is not in front of his parents, he doesn't need to refute, he will acquiesce at the moment.

Ye Xingyuan seemed to have heard Tang Shiyan also say something vaguely that day, but he didn't ask in detail, but now seeing that Lu Wei was so able to put down the shelf for this matter, he knelt and knelt, and couldn't help but be curious, and asked Tang Shiyan.

Tang Shiyan is really an old horse, he took advantage of the wine to tell the story. The clear river of the Han River, the golden autumn oiran, this is a century-old tradition of the Han River Province.

Specifically, after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, all the famous Qinglou in the nearby states and counties will choose to send the painting boat to the Qinghe River in the Fucheng, and after rounds of screening, point out the Oiran. This is a grand event in the country of flowers, that is, there are few people in the provincial capital, and they have to come to Hanjiang Mansion to see the excitement in those days.

Ye Xingyuan suddenly realized that the talented Oiran has always said that the grand event of the flower country must also be the time for the merry and talented man to show his talent. In this way, it is logical that Lu Wei wants to learn poetry temporarily, but he is too eager.

How to learn poetry has to lay a foundation and hone it slowly, as Tang Shiyan said, at least first recite 800 poems of Qian'er, and then slowly find a sense of poetry by yourself, which can be achieved. But in this way, it seems that it is not enough to perform in front of Oiran

Tang Shiyan shook his head drunkenly and said: "Brother Ye Xian, don't listen to him, do you think he really wants to learn poetry when he learns poetry?

Ye Xingyuan finally fully understood that Lu Wei was not only looking for a teacher, but more importantly, he was looking for a gunman. Tang Shiyan was clear about this matter, so he already knew it when he went to the Lu family, but it was just difficult to say it in front of the Lu family and his wife.

Later, Tang Shiyan recognized Ye Xingyuan and turned his face with Master Lu, so the matter was naturally stopped. Lu Wei was so anxious that he didn't go to school for a few days.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the city today, he heard about Ye Xingyuan's poem shaking the house, and then Lu Weiwei was overjoyed. I felt that with the relationship between my cousins, maybe it would be better to ask Ye Xingyuan to help than Tang Shiyan, and I could save some silver.

In addition, Lu Wei was worried about the beautiful and vulgar woman beside Ye Xingyuan, so he hurriedly went to the house to find Ye Xingyuan, and after hearing that Ye Xingyuan went out to drink, he came to the market restaurant to find someone.

At this time, Lu Wei couldn't help but blush a little when he heard Tang Shiyan tell him about his plan in person, and said, "Most of the children in the house are like this, and I just follow the convention." My cousin and I are close to each other, and I just ask my cousin to help me, and I will be rewarded with a lot of money. ”

Before Ye Xingyuan could answer, Tang Shiyan had already glared at Lu Wei and asked, "You are too whimsical! If you make an appointment with us old guys, maybe you can help you a little bit, but Brother Ye Xian is a merry young man, and he can go to meet the Oiran himself, why should he catch a knife for you?"

After the Hangang Prefecture selects the Oiran, there is also a part of the Oiran Contest, which is no less lively than the Oiran itself. Talented people from all walks of life flock to break through the difficulties set by the Oiran and its protectors, so that they can get the blue eyes of the beautiful women and monopolize the Oiran. Each of these difficulties varies from year to year, but there must be a link of poems before the last meeting of the Oiran, so poetry is crucial.

Besides, there must be an age limit for this talented person who can be an Oiran, and he must not be more than twenty-five years old, and Tang Shiyan and others have long lost their qualifications. And Ye Xingyuan is in his prime, if he is willing, at least he can steadily suppress others in poetry.

Lu Wei was stunned by Tang Shiyan, he had always put his own ideas first, and he had never considered it for others, but he didn't expect that Ye Xingyuan could also participate in this Oiran Competition, and he couldn't be a gunman for others.

I couldn't help but say in a hurry: "Cousin, you don't know! This will be a matter of the Oiran, you have to invite more companions, and you will pass the test all the way, and this cost alone is a lot." You first came to Fucheng, why bother to spend this unjust money?"

This will be the Oiran pre-level imaginative, although nothing more than the six arts of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, gentlemen and the like, but how can ordinary people be proficient in everything? If you want to pass the level, either you are lucky, and you are good at the direction of the test, or you can ask a group of companions to be a foil, and the water and earth cover the soldiers to block, so that you can smoothly go to the last step and enter the Oiran's painting boat flower hall.

So this is basically a trick played by a rich son, and it is difficult for poor scholars to get involved, so they were stopped outside the threshold early. Lu Wei is like this, he can barely be regarded as having a solid family background, relying on the favor of his father and mother to be a loser, compared with the rich and noble son who really spends a lot of money, it is still far behind.

After listening to the rules, Ye Xingyuan was not very interested in this game. This is simply for RMB players, although a poor child like him has real materials, there is no need to join in the fun.

Ye Xingyuan just showed that he was not interested, but Tang Shiyan hurriedly said: "Brother Ye Xian, don't you think that this Oiran is just a pure affair. If the scholar can win the Oiran contest, in addition to meeting the beautiful woman, he can also use the treasure of my Hanjiang Aquarium to cut the hair and wash the marrow.

Since then, your ears and eyes are clear, and the speed of absorbing spiritual power is several percent faster than that of ordinary people, which will also be of great help to your great cause of the imperial examination!"

Tang Shiyan talked a lot with Ye Xingyuan, knowing that Ye Xingyuan was ambitious, different from their group of wasters, and Ye Xingyuan was indeed young, and it was impossible for him to concentrate on poetry and give up the great cause of the imperial examination.

Although Tang Shiyan regretted this, he also respected Ye Xingyuan's choice, which would be of great help to the imperial examination, of course he had to explain it in detail.

If you can't afford to comb the money, the Oiran won't actually stay overnight, and generally speaking, it's just a little sitting, eating a cup of fragrant tea, using a few snacks, and listening to two songs at most is the limit. Unless it is a real hungry ghost with a lot of wealth in the family, he will take out thousands of silver taels that night, and he will have the joy of the Oiran overnight.

The reason why most people participate in the Oiran Contest is to compete for the name of this merry talent, and the second is for this wheel bead.

It is rumored that this Oiran event was originally promoted by the Dragon King of the Han River, so he specially lent the Aquarium Treasure Wheel Bead to participate in the event.

Over the years, this matter has been unexaminable, but every year the Hanjiang Mansion can indeed lend the treasure wheel beads from the Dragon Palace to cut the hair and wash the marrow for the final winner, remove the impurities in the body, and clear the meridians and spiritual apertures.

Receiving this benefit, even if it is not as good as entering the Hanlin Academy, and being enlightened by the noble spirit of the Hanlin Academy, it can also purify the heart and improve the five senses, and the benefits for the reader are inexhaustible. Every year, people come from thousands of miles away to compete for this rare opportunity.

Hearing that it would help the right path of the imperial examination, Ye Xingyuan suddenly changed his mind, and it seemed that it was really necessary to participate. Anyway, the opportunity is here, and if you don't go in vain.

But it's still a bit troublesome to pass the test in front, Ye Xingyuan doesn't have the money to hire a companion, so he can only take one step at a time. It's time to buy a lottery ticket, try your luck, or not!

Seeing that Ye Xingyuan was persuaded by Tang Shiyan, Lu Wei was stunned, his eyes rolled, but he came up with an idea, "Cousin, since you want to compete for the Oiran, no one can beat you with your poetry, and you will definitely be able to compete for the first place." I don't know if I can let my little brother be your companion, when the time comes, my cousin will win a big victory, I just want to be able to follow my cousin's side and secretly look at the Oiran a few times."

When Lu Wei talked about Oiran, he looked like he was so lustful, and he couldn't imagine that he was such a womanizer at such a young age. Ye Xingyuan laughed and laughed, and agreed for the time being.
