Volume 1 The Figures of the Year in the Capital Chapter 21 Poetry Society
"It seems that we have to deal with this Beigu Building, this is definitely not as simple as just a Qinglou. ”
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
Du Huaigu was also very puzzled when he saw Lu Chengfeng so shocked, isn't it just a sentence! No matter how amazing it is, it's just a residual sentence, why is he so excited.
"Oh, nothing, do you know who made it?"
"I don't know about this, since the opening of the Beigu Building more than 100 years ago, this sentence has been hanging in it. ”
"It's been more than 100 years!"
Lu Chengfeng didn't expect that this Beigulou would have such a long history, it seems that in addition to him and Zhuang Yi, there were already Chinese people who came to this world more than a hundred years ago.
But what made him wonder was that this world was only eighteen years away from suddenly appearing in the solar system, why did earthlings come here more than a hundred years ago?
Or is it disturbed by gravitational waves, which causes the time and space to be disrupted?
There are too many doubts in this, which makes Lu Chengfeng a headache, no matter what the situation is, it makes things complicated.
"I heard that the current owner of Beigulou is a woman, but she rarely shows up, basically few people know, very mysterious, according to legend, he is a great cultivator at the peak of the foundation building realm, and his strength is still above General Lu Shang, and he is the first person under the Jindan immortals. ”
Lu Chengfeng didn't expect that there would be such a strong person in this Beigu Building, no wonder it could stand for a hundred years without falling, I am afraid that there are many cultivators among them, especially the owner of the Beigu Building, who is still a woman, and it is also a great figure in such a feudal society.
Although it is said that the status of women in the world is relatively low, in the cultivation world, as long as the talent is good enough and the strength is strong enough, women can also hold up a piece of the world.
Perhaps it is because there are cultivators in this world, so although the status of women here is low, it is much better than in ancient China.
"Let's go, Brother Du, let's go in first. ”
Lu Chengfeng took out the invitation card and took Ning Xi and Du Huaigu on the painting boat together, this hand-rowed boat is very huge, no less than a restaurant, presumably the cost is also expensive, and this painting boat is the asset of Beigulou.
It seems that this Li Xianzong is not so vulgar, he sent someone to stop Lu Chengfeng at the dock, or that he held his own identity and disdained to do those things, but dealt with him in a dignified manner at the poetry meeting.
This is much better than some gentlemen, perhaps this is the difference between the real so-called "upper-class people" and those gentlemen! Even if you look at others as not, you must maintain your own elegance and demeanor.
I have to say that this painting ship is really extremely luxurious, full of carved beams and paintings, exquisite, whether it is from the doors and windows, porch houses, screens, curtains, or precious exotic flowers and plants, everywhere exudes the smell of money burning.
In addition, those beautiful women are really the place that men in the world want to go to the most, and they are extremely extravagant, and it is indeed a good place for men to have fun.
Although it is said to be a poetry club, it is actually inseparable from the embellishment of women, after all, there are only women left in this world except men.
And among these women, there are also some women with extraordinary talents, such as the Beigulou Oiran who has not yet appeared, I heard that she can play the pipa well, and she has been around the beam for three days, lingering.
Lu Chengfeng and Du Huaigu stayed in the same attic, which was very close to the stage, and those beautiful women dancing were in full view.
Perhaps because of the influence of the developed commodity economy of the Great Liang, the ideology and culture of the entire dynasty are also very open, and the women of this dynasty are not as conservative as Lu Chengfeng imagined, although the weather is not particularly hot, but those women are just wearing a thin layer of fine yarn, and the plump body is undoubtedly revealed, so that the surrounding merry talents feast their eyes.
"Brother Lu, look, over there is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, the leftmost is the prince of the Prince's Mansion, and the daughter of the general of the auxiliary country, etc., it can be said that half of the children of the official eunuchs in the capital are here. ”
Du Huaigu introduced the identities of these powerful children to Lu Chengfeng one by one, and Lu Chengfeng was constantly looking at it, and Lu Chengfeng already knew some things before.
Even the daughter of the general of the auxiliary country is here.,It seems that this is really very open.,And if you want to come to this poetry club, it's not too romantic.,If you want to be romantic, you'll only go to the Beigulou opposite.,It's really ungraceful on this painting boat.,And it's not far away.。
It seems that the affairs above the court are not only involved in the relationship between the various magnates, but also a huge network of relationships, which involves more than just some magnates, and even penetrates into many places among the people, such as the Beigu Building across the river.
Thinking that this Beigu Building has at least a great relationship in the court, otherwise it is impossible to withstand the pressure from so many powerful people, which also makes Lu Chengfeng even more curious about the owner of the Beigu Building who has never appeared, he wants to know what kind of woman this is?
And this poetry club is not just for these second generations of officials to have fun, it also contains a very strong court factor, the struggle of the older generation is mainly concentrated in the court and in the dark, and the young people are in a place similar to the poetry club.
Moreover, in addition to the owner of the Beigu Building, Lu Chengfeng is also very curious about the secrets of the Beigu Building itself.
He just learned that the women in the Beigu Building have always been selling their arts, not their bodies, and they all hold part of the power of the Beigu Building, although the power is not big, and they need to be much better than ordinary Qinglou women.
As for those women who sell both their art and their bodies, Beigulou is not prohibited, as long as they are willing.
Perhaps it is precisely because the Beigu Building gives these Qinglou women the feeling of being in charge, so they will always stay in the Beigu Building, and the Beigu Building can also stand in Kyoto for hundreds of years.
"That's the son of the eldest princess, a full color embryo, lingering in the Beigu Building every day, indulging in wine, I didn't expect to come to this poetry meeting today, I must have fallen in love with some girl. Seeing that he came from Beigulou, compared to the early morning and went to be happy again, I am afraid that he stayed in Beigulou last night and was happy!"
Du Huaigu introduced Lu Chengfeng again, I have to say that the son of the eldest princess's family is indeed very beautiful, no wonder he will attract so many women, if this is placed in the future generations, he will also be a complete scumbag.
But people have money! People have the right to spend money to play with women, and people have this capital, and those women are not worried about his pockets, and now Daliang has not banned it.
At the end of the day, it's a patriarchal society.
In particular, in the successive wars, countless soldiers were killed and wounded, and the ratio of men and women was seriously out of balance, and the Great Liang also encouraged monogamy and multiple concubines! There are also great restrictions on the age of marriage, and this green building is also blooming everywhere, and perhaps a large number of people will be added by accident.
However, the imperial court should be more lenient in this regard for cultivators, firstly, because there are not many cultivators themselves, and secondly, to avoid arousing dissatisfaction and resistance among cultivators, or even rebellion.
In particular, Qinglou is also a place that is very conducive to collecting and transmitting intelligence, and this Beigulou is not only a Qinglou, but also a huge intelligence organization, even surpassing the imperial court in some aspects, which is also one of the reasons why Beigulou has stood for a hundred years without falling.
Although this poetry meeting started in the morning, it was basically fun, and the real opening was not until after lunch. To put it bluntly, many people come so early, in fact, they are all for fun, lingering between Beigulou and these painted boats.
Maybe the culture here is a little different, some things that do at night like to do during the day, probably because I think this is more exciting, but in fact, there are not a few talents who do things at night, they can only say that they are radish and cabbage, each with their own love.
Moreover, there are some "incomplete perverts" and "completely perverted" characters in history, who always challenge the bottom line of ethics and morality again and again.
Compared with ordinary people's two meals a day, these eunuchs are more particular, in addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, there are afternoon tea and supper, but more merry people still like to drink those pure natural grain wine, since ancient poetry and matching, I don't know how to pass down the saying.
Or maybe it's a glass of wine that intoxicates the literati's heart, and poems and songs are carried on paper.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not talented, and today I will hold this poetry meeting by the contemptible people, and I will invite Miss Ruoxi of Beigulou to preside over it. ”
In the afternoon, the Oiran walked out of the boudoir with his lute in his arms.
"The first topic of today's poetry meeting is the theme of a little woman, you can indulge in it, although it is a poetry club, but it is not limited, poetry and songs. ”
Ruoxi said that he hugged the pipa and talked about it, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes tactful, or plucked the strings with the fingers of the wheel, first the big finger as the whisk, followed by the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger as the single string, or with hooking, wiping, picking, picking and picking such techniques, such as the pearl and jade on the plate, and the sound of the golden iron horse, which makes people immersed in it.
Lu Chengfeng, who knows a little bit of rhythm, knows very well that this woman named Ruoxi, whose pipa skills have already reached the realm of a grandmaster, is rarely surpassed.
And there is the aura of heaven and earth between the sound waves, and he must also be a cultivator, as for what realm, Lu Chengfeng can't see it, he only knows that the other party must have a method of hidden cultivation.
"This Beigu Building is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and in addition to the mysterious landlord who came out, even this Oiran is unusual. ”
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh, the century-old foundation of Beigulou is really extraordinary, and it can be regarded as a force, although it is not as good as national power, religion, and race, but it also has a place in this world.
At the end of the song, many romantic talents began to chant poems against each other, hoping to win a smile from the beauty, or take the opportunity to become famous in the world, or it is good to be famous in the capital.
