To be honest, the scholars of this era did indeed look down on these promiscuous women.
Even if these so-called famous prostitutes are sought after by thousands of people, when they are brought home, no one will take them as their official wives unless they are lazy men at the bottom who cannot marry a wife.
They were all taken home and kept as concubines.
Since she is acting as a concubine, there are no feelings at all. You know, even Gu Hengbo's most loyal fan, Zhao Er, who spent thousands of taels of silver on an oiran convention last year, brought Gu Hengbo home.
After that, the most she can do is take a concubine.
Zhao Er even had the idea of asking Shen Yi to take Gu Hengbo home, and then drink "Er Dao Soup" from Shen Yi.
Not only the scholars, but also the prince of the Jin Dynasty in front of him must be just playing with Gu Hengbo. It is impossible for him to look down on this famous Qinhuai prostitute.
The reason why these famous prostitutes are sought after by the princes and princes in the capital is largely because they are famous.
Picking up a famous woman can help you gain some face in the yamen circle.
But Shen Yi really didn't have much thought of discriminating against them.
After all, there are only two ways and two possibilities for these prostitutes to end up in prostitution. The first is to be born poor, and the second is to have bad luck.
In other words, he either came from a poor family, or his father committed a crime and was demoted to the Jiaofangsi, and then fell into the dust of the world.
As for profession, there is no distinction between high and low.
Moreover, these really famous prostitutes, although they have learned a lot of skills in pleasing men in brothels, are often innocent virgins.
Because brothels need to be sold for a price, these girls also need to be sold for a price.
Therefore, after hearing Gu Hengbo's words, Shen Yi just smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Gu people are joking. Last year I was lucky enough to hear Gu people play pipa music. It was quite touching. Gu people are great women, Shen
Of course I won’t look down upon you.”
This is also the reason why Shen Yi does not discriminate against this profession.
To become an oiran, you don't just need to be good-looking, you must have amazing artistic skills and a special ability.
For example, Ms. Gu is a pipa master. It is no exaggeration to say that she "learned pipa at the age of fifteen and was ranked first in the class"!
Gu Hengbo's gaze shifted and he looked at Shen Yi, somewhat surprised: "This is my first time meeting Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen saw me last year?"
"I was lucky enough to meet him last year at Chunyi Tower."
Shen Yi looked calm and said: "At that time, everyone was amazed by Gu's skills. Thinking about it now, Shen still admires him."
Having said this, Shen Yi looked at Li Mu who was aside, coughed, and said: "Your Majesty, I came up to see everyone Gu today. Even if we know each other, Shen still wants to go down to watch the lanterns, so I won't disturb you two."
Already."
After saying this, Shen Yi turned around and left.
Just kidding, a "second generation king" is dating a "female star"! This kind of thing, as long as a discerning person cannot stay here for a long time.
However, Li Mu didn't care much. He smiled, pulled Shen Yi to sit down in the private room, and said with a smile: "I came to see Mr. Gu today because my father will have his fortieth birthday soon, and he wanted to invite Mr. Gu.
My family played a few pipa songs for my father. It had no other meaning. Qilang misunderstood."
Shen Yi looked calm and said with a smile: "Prince Jin's birthday is no small matter. Prince, just talk about things here and ignore me..."
"I was looking for you."
Li Mu patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I just talked about you, Qilang, with everyone Gu. She said she liked the poems you wrote, Qilang. It happened that everyone Gu recently composed a new pipa song, and she didn't ask anyone to write the lyrics, so she
I want Qilang to help you fill in a poem."
As he said that, he looked at Gu Hengbo and said with a smile: "Everyone Gu, Qi Lang has just arrived today. Can you please play it for Qi Lang again, so that whether he fills it in or not, he will have some background."
"yes…"
Gu Hengbo smiled, lowered his head, and said, "Your Majesty and Young Master, please wait a moment.
I’m going to prepare the pipa now…”
With that said, everyone Gu stood up, twisted his waist and walked aside to get his pipa.
After the woman walked away, Li Mu looked at Shen Yi beside him and said with a smile, "Did Qi Lang take a fancy to her?"
The Prince Jin's tone was very calm: "If you like her, Qi Lang will not leave tonight. I will arrange for you to be her first benefactor."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in fear: "Your Majesty, please don't joke, you..."
"I'm not interested in her."
Li Shizi said calmly: "I am a member of the Tian family clan and a close relative of the royal family. It would be a bit disgraceful to spread the word."
People like Li Mu naturally have no shortage of women.
He is in his early twenties. In fact, he has been surrounded by women since he was fourteen years old. As the heir to the throne, he has too many partners to choose from.
Therefore, he didn't really want to sleep with a prostitute.
Although it is innocuous, it doesn't sound very good after all. Maybe Gu Hengbo will use this as his "selling point" in the future and use it to "hype".
However, with the energy of the Jin Palace, Li Mu wanted to sleep with Gu Hengbo, just a matter of words, and he could even arrange for Gu Hengbo to sleep with Shen Yi tonight.
Shen Yi raised his head and looked at the Gu family in the distance, then shook his head slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, no need..."
Li Mu smiled without forcing it.
"Qilang went back to Jiangdu last year and is back this year. He should be taking the Chunwei exam?"
"yes…"
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "I don't expect to pass the exam. I just came here to give it a try. After all, I am young. It doesn't hurt to try a few more times."
Li Mu did not answer, but looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "The Di newspaper distributed in the palace a few days ago, the one sold on the street today, was written by you, Qilang?"
Shen Yi shook his head quickly.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
"Your Majesty, please don't get me wrong. The content in the Di newspaper has nothing to do with me. It was definitely not written by Shen..."
Three negatives in a row.
Because the Jin Palace should not know that Shen Yi wrote articles for the Di Newspaper Division, Shen Yi could only answer as if they didn't know about it.
Li Mu chuckled and was about to speak.
In the room, the sound of pipa played.
The two men raised their heads at the same time and looked at the charming woman not far away who was covered with a white gauze and holding a pipa in her arms.
She slowly twisted her fingers together, and the beautiful music suddenly filled the whole room.
"The Di newspaper is very well written."
Li Mu looked at Gu Hengbo, as if he was enjoying the music, but he said: "After my father saw this, he locked himself in the study for a long time and did not come out. The Holy Spirit hung in his coffin..."
He let out a long sigh: "Emperor Sejong's coffin is indeed a hanging coffin. Even the coffin of my grandfather, Emperor Sejong, almost became a hanging coffin."
"I am not filial to my descendants..."
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said these very emotional words, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Qi Lang, my father will turn 40 on the third day of February, and there will be a lot of grand arrangements in Prince Jin's Mansion."
"Is Shichiro coming?"
It stands to reason that being able to send gifts to the emperor's son's biological uncle is a rare opportunity to flatter him, but Shen Yi's future path in the court is to be a civil servant, and civil servants are destined to have trouble with nobles.
After listening to Li Mu's words, Shen Yi also looked at Gu Hengbo who was playing the pipa, and then said thoughtfully: "Okay, if I have time then, I will definitely go next..."
