For the oirans of the Jiaofang Division, warriors who only know how to fight and kill are very vulgar, so naturally they cannot catch their eye.
And the man who can really win their favor is naturally the kind of poet who is a master of poetry.
In this era without the Internet, courtesan's reputation relied on word of mouth to gather a certain amount of fame.
But why should others promote you instead of other courtesans?
Just like this newly-minted courtesan Mei Ji, her majestic motorcade parade is actually promoting her fame.
But no matter how much she publicizes it, her fame can only be known by the people in Tai'an City, and cannot be known by all the people in Jiuzhou in the Great Wei Dynasty.
To do this, the best way is undoubtedly to get a catchy poem from a literati.
Only by binding a poem to himself and then spreading it to the nine states of the Wei Dynasty with business travelers, will the oiran's fame be known to the world.
Just like the Mona Lisa, which Su Yu knew in his previous life, became famous because it happened to be the era of newspapers. The painting happened to be stolen and was published in the newspapers, and then it became known to the world.
The courtesan's appearance will age with the passage of time, but this masterpiece of poetry that belongs to her will never fade due to the changes of the times.
Even hundreds of years later, her name will still be known to the world because of this poem.
Presumably this is the reason why oirans will hold a cocktail party from time to time. In fact, they mostly take this opportunity to find a talented poet, and then create an eternal masterpiece of her own.
In this way, as this poem spreads, the oiran's reputation is no longer limited to one city.
Su Yu couldn't help but think of a man in ancient times who took prostitution to the extreme.
Not only did that guy prostitute for nothing, he even allowed all the girls in the brothel to take care of his funeral affairs. He can be said to have become a role model for all men.
"It's a pity that the Wei Dynasty was based on military force. Rich people will take the path of warriors. How can they be literary?"
"As for the Congwen guy, his family is poor, so what if his stomach is full of ink? To attend an oiran's cocktail party, the ticket alone costs one hundred taels of silver. It will be difficult for him to save enough money in his life."
"Even if he saves enough money, he may not be able to be favored by the oiran and be recruited as a guest."
Su Yu couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
It seems that whether it is the ancient times of the previous life or the current era he lives in, the preference of brothel women for literati who can write poems remains unchanged.
The four oirans of the Jiaofang Division already have their own merits in terms of beauty, temperament, and figure, and it is difficult to tell the winner.
And the degree of fame is the key to distinguish them.
An oiran whose fame spread to the Jiuzhou of the Wei Dynasty cannot be compared with an oiran whose fame is limited to Tai'an City, even if their appearance is the same.
At this moment, Chen Beijiang couldn't help but feel discouraged.
As Ji Longcheng said, one hundred taels of silver was just to serve as a foil, so naturally he was unwilling.
No matter how much money you have, you can't just waste it.
After lunch, Su Yu, as the only person who won money in Linyuan County yesterday, was unanimously asked by Ji Longcheng and Chen Beijiang to settle the bill.
After eating more than 30 taels of silver for one meal, Su Yu's heart ached.
Yesterday, he spent 400 yuan crystals buying ancient martial arts skills on the black market, and now he only has 55 yuan crystals left in his hand.
"Hey, brother Su, it's just over thirty taels of silver. You won seventy yuan crystals yesterday. This little silver is just for one yuan crystal."
Ji Longcheng patted Su Yu's shoulder and said with a mischievous smile: "At worst, I'll pay for the music listening to Goulan today!"
How much does it cost to listen to music in Goulan?
Su Yu was filled with curses.
Listening to music at Goulan is nothing more than spending a penny to order a pot of tea, with unlimited refills, and you can hear the sun go down from noon.
"I still have something to do, so I won't go today." Su Yu shook his head.
He just bought a copy of Ancient Martial Arts, and today he is going to take the split Ancient Martial Arts to find a translation.
Chen Beijiang looked at Su Yu hesitantly and said, "Brother Su, are you secretly practicing hard behind our backs?"
This person is just like this. He neither wants to work hard himself, nor does he want to see his brothers working hard secretly.
If you want to catch a fish, you have to catch it together, otherwise it won't be fun, and there will be a sense of pressure due to the brothers' efforts.
When Su Yu heard this, he laughed dumbly and said, "I have something that needs to be dealt with."
"Okay then. If you can't go, then I won't go either. I'll try to advance to the middle stage of body training as soon as possible." Chen Beijiang said.
Ji Longcheng: "."
Immediately, the three of them went towards their own homes.
After returning home, Su Yu broke the ancient text recorded on the animal skin into three parts, and then went out to find a translator.
When the sun set, Su Yu spent thirty taels of silver to complete the translation of three ancient texts and returned home.
The next thing to do is to combine them one by one based on the ancient texts before the disruption.
But when Su Yu finished the combination, his face couldn't help but look a little astonished.
Because the ancient martial arts recorded on this animal skin are not only incomplete, but also completely inconsistent in many places.
In other words, when the previous stall owner obtained the ancient martial arts book, the contents on it might have been incomplete.
There is another possibility, that is, the martial arts may be complete, but the hide has been broken into several pieces, and the stall owner just made a simple combination, and the order is wrong.
Then the stall owner copied these ancient characters on a brand new animal skin. Even the stall owner himself did not know the ancient characters, so he just recorded the ancient characters on it in a gourd-drawing-ladle manner.
This ancient martial art may be complete, but because the combination is confusing, there is no way to practice it.
Practicing a martial art with confusing formulas will lead to extremely dangerous consequences. At worst, the vitality can flow backward and the meridians are cut off, or at worst, the body can explode and die.
Su Yu didn't dare to joke with his own life.
"I spent all my energy haggling yesterday to buy this ancient martial arts book for 400 yuan crystals. I also spent 30 taels of silver to find someone to translate it, and finally got this thing?!"
The corner of Su Yu's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
And the place where he bought ancient martial arts skills was on the black market, so trying to find the seller was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After all, in order to avoid conflicts between buyers and sellers, the wooden signs distributed to stall owners in the black market are different every day.
In other words, the stall owner who bought this ancient martial arts book on the black market last night, Su Yu, even if he sets up a stall on the black market tonight, Su Yu will not be able to find his location because it is random.
Even if I'm lucky enough to find yesterday's stall owner, can I still contact him for after-sales service?
The things on the black market itself all depend on your eyesight.
When money and goods are gone, even if you buy a pill made from shit, you can only break your teeth and swallow it.
There are Iron Bone Realm warriors in the black market on the surface, but no one knows whether there are Yu Leap Realm warriors secretly?
Making trouble in the black market is tantamount to seeking death!
