After dancing for a while, all the dancers came forward to pay tribute to Jia Lian. It was only then that Jia Lian finally understood the origins of these beauties.
But I can't remember all of them. I only know that they are all famous prostitutes invited by salt merchants from nearby state capitals. The farthest one even came to Hangzhou, but she happened to be in Jinling to participate in the Oiran Competition, so she was
The Bai family "invited" him over.
In terms of age, the youngest is fourteen and the oldest is nineteen. This age range is also the golden years for all famous prostitutes.
Jia Lian was invited by the King of Beijing to visit the Prince's Mansion in Beijing.
The Prince of Beijing's palace is also declining, otherwise the Prince of Beijing would not have inherited the royal title when he was more than ten years old.
However, although the Beijing Palace has fewer owners, the number of people is no less than that of the Jia Palace, especially the women, beautiful women and many concubines.
On the contrary, as the first prince with a foreign surname, it wouldn't look like him if he wasn't extravagant. What's more, Shui Rong was a handsome and romantic prince.
Shui Rong was also very generous, revealing to Jia Lian the beauty and skills of the dancers and musicians in the mansion without any cover-up. At that time, Jia Lian didn't show it on his face, but he was still a little envious in his heart.
After all, the life of raising a bunch of beauties in the house for your entertainment and admiration is indeed what every man dreams of.
Therefore, this time he had the opportunity to meet so many beauties, not to mention all of them who were beautiful in both sex and art, but at least they were beautiful in sex and each had excellent skills. Naturally, Jia Lian was not stingy about appreciating them to pass the time.
Moreover, Jia Lian felt that the beauties here were much better in terms of appearance and quality than those in the Prince's Palace in Beijing.
After all, no matter how noble the king of Beijing was, he would not send people to the south of the Yangtze River to rob a group of top courtesan ladies. Only the Yangzhou salt merchants and other powerful Jiangnan powerful women could gather so many famous prostitutes here at once.
"I just heard that some of you are good at Chu tune and some are good at Qin tune. It just so happens that I have admired these two kinds of vocal music for a long time. I also ask you girls to sing a song for me."
Hearing what Jia Lian said, those beauties who were good at this went down happily to prepare.
Not to mention that they were originally required to meet Jia Lian's requirements, but Jia Lian's status, appearance, and polite manner of speech made them, usually arrogant courtesans, volunteer to perform.
Even if they are not favored by Jia Lian this time, it is worthy of pride and pride to be praised by him. It may even become their talisman.
For these courtesans, there are not many things that can protect themselves. The most important thing is to get praise from certain people in authority, or even have some entangled connections, which will make other people think twice when they want to be rude to them.
, is it worth offending those people for a promiscuous woman...
Shen Pan'er didn't know that Jia Lian actually liked listening to music. She was good at dancing. At this time, she was being stolen from the limelight by other sisters, and she was secretly worried.
She considers herself to be the one who knows the most about Jia Lian here, and knows that Jia Lian is not a lustful person. This is why she has made up her mind to follow Jia Lian. After all, if Jia Lian is a lustful person who forgets about lust, she would not dare to
He sacrificed himself easily.
Therefore, she felt that people like Jia Lian must also cherish their reputation. Even if all of them performed well tonight, Jia Lian would not be able to take them all away, otherwise he would be afraid of being known as lustful!
So, it’s just a night of fun and it’s possible not to take away anyone in the end.
If Jia Lian really doesn't want any of them, then she has no choice. If she is only going to choose one or two, then Gu Qingyi will definitely have to occupy a quota. At this time, if the quota is taken away by someone who is good at singing, her chance will be lost. Even more elusive.
With such calculation in mind, just when the sisters each picked two of the most famous songs from Chu tune and Qin tune and finished singing, which attracted Jia Lian's praise, they saw the building boat was about to pass an arch bridge in front, Shen Pan'er took the opportunity to ask with a smile Jia Lian: "I heard that your Excellency is also a learned man. I wonder if you ever know about this bridge?"
She walked around to the other side of Jia Lian and pointed her finger forward.
Jia Lian took a look and found that he was not familiar with Yangzhou and knew nothing about it.
Shen Pan'er didn't really want to test Jia Lian. Looking at his expression, she immediately laughed sweetly:
"The green mountains are faint and the water is far away, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered after autumn. On a bright moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridge, where can the beautiful lady teach me how to play the flute?"
This is a famous poem by Du Mu from the Tang Dynasty, have you ever heard of it?"
Looking at the graceful and enchanting beauty, Tan opened his mouth slightly and spat out this poem. Jia Lian didn't know what to think for a moment.
How could he, a high-ranking official like Jia Lian, not know this poem? He knew it so well!
It was not easy to put into words what was in my mind at the moment, so I just asked out of curiosity: "Oh, could this bridge be the 'Twenty-Four Bridge' in Yangzhou that has been praised for nearly a thousand years?"
Shen Pan'er was very happy when she saw that Jia Lian's idea had indeed been attracted.
"I don't know if the twenty-four bridges were sung nearly two years ago. After all, after so many years, it has long been impossible to determine which of the twenty-four bridges in Master Xiao Du's poem was. But, the one in front of me is indeed It was called 'Twenty-Four Bridge', and it was also the most famous one named after it in Yangzhou City at that time."
Jia Lian smiled, it seems that no matter what time or era, people who gain fame have always existed. Obviously, there is definitely more than one bridge called the Twenty-Four Bridge in Yangzhou City.
"But no matter what, tonight is a good time, and in this situation, don't you want to imitate the ancients and listen to another song of Dongxiao?
You know, we have a real dongxiao master here! Sister Tsing Yi’s jade flute not only caused the souls of countless romantic talents in the south of the Yangtze River to break up, but also led to a contemporary vocal music master in Suzhou, the former Jinling Provincial Academician , a master of court moxibustion who is also a great scholar in the contemporary literary world, was amazed when he heard it, praising Sister Qingyi as the number one person in Xiao Le at that time!"
Hearing what Shen Pan'er said, Jia Lian subconsciously glanced at Gu Qingyi below.
Gu Qingyi stood up and bowed to the two of them: "Sister Pan'er is overly complimentary. It's just because the boss pities me and other prostitutes for their hard work, so you specially praise her."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Lian was also a little curious: "You said she is fine, why do I see that you are so happy when you mention the dongxiao? Could it be that you are also good at this?" "
"I don't dare to compare myself with Sister Qingyi, but I can dance with Sister Qingyi. Xiao Qin's ensemble and Xiao's accompanying dancers are both very good and appropriate combinations."
Shen Pan'er looked a little embarrassed, and the others also curled their lips, obviously seeing her little thoughts.
Of course, Jia Lian didn't care much about her thoughts. Even as he smiled, he got closer and closer to him, almost leaning against him. What came from the tip of his nose was the special fragrance of the beauty, and he watched it from the corner of his eyes. What I saw was her exquisite figure...
As a dancer with outstanding dancing skills, Shen Pan'er has a slender figure and a very graceful figure, especially her pair of slender legs hidden under the gauze skirt, which are very eye-catching just from the outline.
Jia Lian had also looked at the beauty for a long time. He was so addicted that he inevitably had other thoughts in his heart, so he deliberately turned his head to look at Shen Pan'er and chuckled: "I just saw how proud you were when you were reciting poems. I thought You also 'taught Xiao special skills', but who knew you were actually trying to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, which is a huge disappointment."
Shen Pan'er became anxious after hearing this: "Sir, don't underestimate me. Although I think I can't compare to Sister Qingyi, I have practiced this skill seriously. If you don't mind me, I can also play a piece of music for you!"
"Oh seriously? It's happening now?"
"Since now..."
Shen Pan'er frowned slightly. She originally thought that Jia Lian was asking nonsense, but when she saw Jia Lian's ulterior look, she suddenly understood.
My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but give Jia Lian a rolling look, as if to say, you are such an adult.
Then he returned to his normal state and said with a sweet smile: "If you are talking about the Xiao that Sister Qingyi will play for you when you come here, it will be done now. If you mean anything else, you are too impatient, and don't say that I will wait for you." After we take over the house, at least we have to let all the sisters out."
As he said this, he deliberately gave Jia Lian a playful smile.
Hearing what she said, most of the other beauties also blushed.
Most of them knew the romantic meaning of playing the flute in romantic occasions. They didn't expect that Shen Pan'er would be so bold and say such things in public, which confirmed that she had never served Jia Lian before. ?
