Chapter 2196 The most beautiful women in the world are all here!

Hou Xibai put away the brush, his true energy surged, steamed the colored ink dry, and closed the Baimei fan with a snap. The purpose of this trip had been achieved. Shang Xiufang, the most famous courtesan in the world and a master of singing and dancing, had already been painted on him.

She fanned her Baimei fan, exhaled a breath of contentment, looked up at the dazed beauty, slightly stunned, but didn't take it seriously.

"Master Hou is worthy of being a master of painting, with unrivaled painting skills. Xiu Fang never thought she could be so beautiful! Her beauty is breathtaking!"

Shang Xiufang withdrew her gaze from the desk. Her dreamy and blurred eyes had a fatal attraction. She looked at Hou Xibai's extremely handsome face and praised in a daze.

Hou Xibai smiled slightly, stood up, looked around, saw everyone looking at him, turned around and left, not caring about the surprised looks of everyone in the hall, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Surprise flashed through Shang Xiufang's starry eyes, and she left with a ripple of confusion. Although she was only twenty-one years old, she had been performing arts since she was thirteen years old. What man has she not seen?

Especially for a young man like Hou Xibai, it is rare to see her without being fascinated.

Hou Xibai ignored Shang Xiufang and left directly. This was the first time in Shang Xiufang's life. He felt somewhat strange in his heart. Hou Xibai and Shang Xiufang were different from all the young masters they had seen in the past, even the bold ones.

, some ruffian Kou Zhong never ignored her.

Shang Xiufang could feel that Hou Xibai really had no interest in her at all. He just wanted to pursue art. Painting the most beautiful woman on his Baimei fan was a pure appreciation of beauty, without involving any emotions or distracting thoughts.

.

Wang Shichong also met Hou Xibai for the first time. The performance of this successor of the Huajian Sect surprised him and was unexpected.

A glimmer of light flashed in Wang Shichong's tiger eyes, he looked at everyone's silence and said quickly.

"It seems that the Passionate Young Master doesn't want to be as affectionate as the rumors. He is so incomprehensible in the face of Shang Shang, a stunning beauty in the world. It's better to change his name to the Ruthless Young Master in the future!"

Although these words were Wang Shichong's joke words to heighten the atmosphere, everyone present nodded in agreement. Shang Xiufang was a stunning beauty in the world. She was an excellent singer and dancer. There were a few men present who could not be tempted by her. Hou Xibai actually turned his head.

Just leave, it will ruin the scenery.

Shang Xiufang quickly explained to Hou Xibai and said softly.

"Master Shangshu is joking. Mr. Hou lives up to his passion, but this passion is a devout belief in art, not the worldly love of a man and a woman!"

Shang Xiufang was a person with devout artistic pursuits, so she naturally understood Hou Xibai's thoughts and even sympathized with him. Therefore, she did not want Hou Xibai to be misunderstood by Wang Shichong, so she quickly helped to explain a few sentences.

Wang Shichong had a playful look on his face, looked at Shang Xiufang jokingly, and said jokingly.

"Everyone Shang explained to Hou Xibai like this. I wonder if the passionate young master will regret leaving today after hearing this?"

Shang Xiufang shook her head and said firmly with a serious look on her face.

"Master Hou will never regret leaving today. He is a fool who is dedicated to studying art. He is not the kind of person who will be swayed by Xiufang's few words of explanation!"

Shang Xiufang was calm and generous, not paying attention to everyone's eyes, and sat back on her seat again. Kou Zhong returned to his old style at this time, no longer nervous, and there was a hint of deep thought in his sword eyes. The passionate young master Hou Xibai, he

However, he was deeply impressed by him, his cultivation was unfathomable, and his actions were confusing. Even with his current perfect state of innate perfection, he still couldn't see through Hou Xibai's true identity, which made him extremely concerned and fearful.

Rong Fengxiang is the richest man in Luoyang, and the main residence consisting of three entrances is full of luxury and wealth. The front hall is not only large in area, high in space, and gorgeously decorated, but its momentum is even more comparable to that of the palace. In the center are six golden pillars made of powdered crickets and dragons.

Straight up to the roof, the ceiling is covered with patterns and carvings, and the caisson in the center is a three-dimensional relief of two dragons competing for the pearl. Other furniture and hangings are very particular.

At this time, nearly twenty banquet tables were set up in the hall, and more than a hundred guests gathered, but it still didn't feel crowded.

Today is Rong Fengxiang’s birthday, and Wang Shichong, the ruler of Luoyang, will also come to pay homage to Rong Fengxiang in person.

Wang Shichong and his party were very powerful. Only eight guards came in, and the others stayed outside. Even so, including Kou Zhong and others, they were the largest group.

One was a politician who was in power in Luoyang, and the other was the richest man and the longevity minister. There were bursts of congratulations everywhere he passed.

Led by Wang Shichong and Rong Fengxiang, they walked through the halls and corridors without stopping until they reached the back hall where only the most important guests were received.

The same spacious space as the front hall has only ten seats, four of which are in the middle and six seats evenly distributed on both sides, highlighting the distinguished position of the four seats in the hall.

The guests who can be arranged in the inner hall are either the most prominent people in Luoyang or distinguished foreign guests like Li Shimin and Tu Li. Those who are not worthy enough can only attend the banquet in the other two halls.

On the surface, Rong Fengxiang is the richest man in Luoyang City, but in fact, he has a hidden identity. He is a branch of the two sects of the Demon Sect, the Six Paths Zhongzhen Preacher. Laojun Guan Guan master Pi Chen, inherits the original Taoist tradition, and is good at Yin and Yang.

In the art of dual cultivation, his cultivation has reached the level of a master, ranking sixth among the eight masters of the Demon Sect.

Wearing a vest and living under the bright sky may be a method commonly used by masters of the magic sect. Shi Zhixuan, Bichen and others are like this. The younger generation is no less willing to give in. They are all ghosts and ghosts. Hou Xibai is the leader among them. He himself

I don’t know how many vests I have. Most of them are used once and never used again. I can be called a vest maniac. Even the insane Shi Zhixuan doesn’t have as many vests as him.

It was Rong Fengxiang's birthday. I don't know why he actually invited Hou Xibai, a descendant of the Huajian Sect. Maybe it was because of Wang Shichong's behavior at the last banquet that made Hou Xibai so popular.

In the past, everyone knew that Hou Xibai liked to paint portraits of beauties in the martial arts world. For this reason, he gained a bad reputation and was rated as frivolous and dissolute. He was even nicknamed a passionate young man. But no one had ever seen him painting. Last time

Finally my eyes were opened. His painting skills are superb, and the beautiful portraits he painted are lifelike. They are absolutely wonderful works. He can be called a master of painting, which is admirable.

At this time, Hou Xibai was also arranged to the inner hall, and he could be regarded as an extremely distinguished guest of Rong Fengxiang.

On the left side of the entrance to the inner hall, there is a group of eighteen female prostitutes, all with hair in low buns, narrow-sleeved tops, corset skirts and shawls, standing in three rows to perform.

From the harp, pipa, transverse flute, waist drum, shell, etc., the joyful and melodious melody resounded throughout the audience.

No matter when and where, beautiful women are the focus of men's attention, and today is no exception. Dong Shuni and Rong Jiaojiao, known as the twin beauties of Luoyang, were chatting and laughing happily surrounded by a group of seven or eight noble men.

Dong Shuni's skin is as white as snow and jade, unusually white, her black clothes are dazzling and her white skin is dazzling, her hair is like clouds, her eyebrows are like willow silk, her lips are white and her teeth are bright, her dress is extremely gorgeous, like a proud peacock, dazzling the eyes, gorgeous and charming

, has a hot body, and wears bold clothes. Most of her chest is exposed. She is tall and plump, with a curvy figure. Her whole body exudes amazing charm, which is eye-catching and cannot bear to be moved away.

Rong Jiaojiao is naturally beautiful, her beauty is alluring, her eyes are gleaming with gleaming eyes, she is affectionate at one moment, shy at the other, and her manners are delicate and smart, with countless manners. She is a little taller than Dong Shuni, and she is slim and graceful.

, ice skin and snow skin, which makes people fascinated.

Hou Xibai sat in the corner very low-key, silently observing everyone's actions, with a cold face, and never participated in the excitement.

There were more than a dozen groups of people gathered in the open space between the banquets, including Tu Li, Li Shimin, Wang Bo, Fu Qian and others, as well as their cronies. This group of big shots who control the lives and deaths of all people never strayed from their business.

When it comes to political affairs, especially the currency issue that is being paid attention to now, currency is the primary issue related to people's livelihood and economy in the world.

I saw one person with a look of concern for the country and the people on his face, looking at everyone and sighing.

"Nowadays, everyone mints coins privately to replace the five-baht coins of the old dynasty. However, the quality of the new coins is poor, and the prices of daily necessities such as rice and cloth have risen sharply, leaving people helpless."

Although Wang Shichong is not very ambitious and does not have the qualifications to be a hegemon, he still has many years of experience in politics and is very familiar with this matter. Hearing this, he said.

"If the coins come from official furnaces, there is absolutely no problem with the quality; the problem lies in the private furnace coins among the people. These bad coins can even have blurry words on the money, and there is just an outline."

Next to Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji was a wise man, erudite and proficient in common affairs. He was a rare talent for governing the world. He sighed with a complex expression after hearing this.

"Official furnace money has caused another problem. Since the Han Dynasty, gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, mercury and other minerals have gradually been owned by the government. However, in order to ensure that there was enough baht money circulating in the market, and at the same time maintain quality, the old dynasty

Mines must be mined in large quantities. Yang Guang

More than 20 gold mines were opened in 12 counties including Wuling, with 600,000 civilians and countless casualties. However, only more than 50 taels of gold were mined, and hundreds of miles of wasteland were mined. The mining officials became executioners.

The thieves of the people do not see their benefits before they see their harm."

Hou Xibai had seen Li Shimin from a distance before, but he had never been in contact with him.

The Lord of the World, the True Dragon Emperor, who was chosen by both Buddhism and Taoism, was indeed extraordinary in martial prowess, with extraordinary knowledge, wisdom and erudition, and proficient in worldly affairs. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he also spoke out his own opinions.

"Today's so-called new coins are nothing more than melting down and recasting the five-baht coins from the old dynasty; while the bad folk coins are made by adding other iron impurities to the melted five-baht coins, making them one penny.

It can be turned into a few pennies, and when it is profitable, it is even more forbidden. The only solution is to reunite the world and put an end to this trend through a strong and powerful central government. In the current situation, no one can do anything.

"

Hou Xibai knew very well what they were talking about, and even had far better insights than everyone present. This is the economic phenomenon of bad money driving out good money, and it will be a difficult economic problem even in later generations.

Hou Xibai did not participate in it. When talking about these government affairs issues, he behaved like a martial artist who was ignorant of government affairs and sat quietly in the corner.

Dong Shuni didn't care about the world affairs that these men cared about. She turned her eyes and saw Hou Xibai in the corner. Wang Shichong's niece also saw the scene of Hou Xibai painting at the banquet that day. She moved in her heart and moved her lotus steps.

, walked up to Hou Xibai, who was incomparably gorgeous, and said softly.

"Master Hou's painting skills are unparalleled, and Shuni admires him very much!"

"I'm lucky enough to meet you today. I wonder if Master Hou can draw a portrait of Shuni?"

Hou Xibai's expression was cold, his eyes were extremely calm, and he was not moved by the beautiful woman in front of him at all. He glanced at Dong Shuni, who had an expectant look on his face. He had no intention of showing off his skills in front of the beautiful woman, and refused with a cold voice.

road.

"Can't!"

Dong Shuni was startled when she heard this, her eyes were full of shame and annoyance. Hou Xibai was so disrespectful, making Dong Shuni, the sweet girl of heaven, experience the feeling of being rejected for the first time. She felt displeased in her heart, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she was so charming.

She asked charmingly and puzzledly.

"Master Hou, why is this?"

"Is it because Shuni looks vulgar and is not worthy of Young Master Hou writing?"

Dong Shuni straightened her back, raised her head slightly, she was radiant and charming, her chest was straight, plump and round, like a proud peacock, showing off her charm and beauty wantonly.

Dong Shuni said this, obviously not to be self-effacing, but to remind Hou Xibai that she, Dong Shuni, is beautiful and charming, and is definitely a great beauty, highly sought after in Luoyang city.

Hou Xibai glanced at the gorgeous Dong Shuni, his eyes were still clear and cold, unmoved. Dong Shuni was gorgeous and beautiful, but she was still not qualified to be painted on the Baimei Fan. The beauties on the Baimei Fan were not just beautiful.

.

Appearance is important, but if it is not matched by talent and temperament, it is just a vase and cannot withstand the erosion of time.

"You are indeed gorgeous in appearance, no less beautiful than Baimei Fan, but you are not talented enough and have a vulgar temperament, which is not enough to be painted on my Baimei Fan!"
