Chapter 245: There is no beauty in the world, but beauty is what pleases the eye.
In his previous life, Song Fulu always felt that the life of ancient people was boring, without even any fun entertainment.
But after only watching Caiwenge's performance for half an hour, Song Fulu knew that he was superficial.
Hundreds of girls with looks of at least 80 or above danced gracefully, performing from the stage to the stage, and from the stage to the side next to them. It can be said that they used all their abilities.
The body is light, the body is fragrant, the body is graceful... The song is sweet, the voice is sweet, the person is even sweeter... charming, pure, and aloof in turns... it is really dizzying.
Soon, the surrounding guests were fascinated and spent a lot of money to compete for the bridegroom of their choice.
This kind of competition is generally not fierce. Most of them can take the shepherds away with about a hundred taels of silver. As for those who are no longer shepherds, they are not qualified to perform on stage in the past few dozen days.
Because during the ten days before and after the provincial examination, according to the rules of Caiwen Pavilion, only those from the Qing Dynasty were eligible to perform on the front stage.
Literary graduates, talented and elegant, the ten days before and after the provincial examination can be said to be the most lively and prosperous time in Luoshui City in the past three years. As the number one official in Luoshui Province, Caiwen Pavilion naturally has to use all its strength
, proved his own strength and captivated the literati of the entire Luoshui Province.
The other hooks and columns are similar. They have all been in full swing in the past ten days, showing good ideas and programs that have been prepared for three years.
Signs have been put up in each Gou column, and the results will be released three days later. The masters can get free board and lodging, and even the girls are free, especially the No. 1 master Jieyuan. As long as they are willing to go to any Gou column, all expenses will be free of charge, and you can choose every day.
A girl can even serve as a bed attendant, as long as they agree.
Naturally, Caiwen Pavilion had already published relevant advertisements, inviting Mr. Jieyuan to stay in Caiwen Pavilion three days later. As long as he is willing to stay, he will receive free room and board for a year, and a free girl every day, excluding the steward. But if Qing Qing
If the shepherd agrees, she can also be the shepherd.
The choice of Qing Guanren is a two-way street, which is the consistent rule of Caiwen Pavilion.
Mr. Jieyuan is a must-win in the oiran competition held every three years in Luoshui Province. One of the main reasons why Caiwen Pavilion is able to secure the top spot among the brothels in Luoshui Province is that most Mr. Jieyuan has been there for decades.
Willing to stay in Caiwen Pavilion.
Of course, before the rankings are released, the scholars still have to spend money in Caiwen Pavilion. Take watching the performance in the front yard as an example. This is not free. You have to pay at least one or two silver dollars every day to watch the performance here. There are also
Some simple food and accommodation are provided.
Otherwise, how could you watch such a wonderful performance for free every day?
Of course, this fee is just to protect the capital. The most profitable thing about Caiwen Pavilion is the income of the bidders, which is the big one.
It's just that Song Fulu was determined to live forever and didn't want to have too many worries, so he just wanted to listen to music and nothing else.
Moreover, you can see the best aspects of thousands of beauties by listening to the music. If you choose the beauties, you can only go to the room in the middle courtyard to accompany them, and you will not be able to see so many beauties.
Of course, if you have money, you can not only bid for one heirloom, but also two, three, four...
"The late spring will be gentle"
"The subtle fragrance of the flower path"
"The night has passed"
"Can't bear to look back"
"Yunsuo Zhulou"
……
The girls sang and danced softly on the stage, and the sound of silk and bamboo all around made even Song Fulu feel a little intoxicated.
Today’s study of the Kung Fu system has ended. Any further study will damage the body and make it overwhelmed. It’s time to relax.
Anyway, the flow of time here is relatively high, so we should just take a rest.
Although Song Fulu has seen more gorgeous performances than this in the main world, those were through immortal magic and Taoism, which are not as exquisite and meticulous as here, and they completely grasp the man's mind.
Song Fulu was lying on the armchair, enjoying the snacks and fruits next to him, while looking at the people who had come to perform around him.
Most of the fragrant shops contain body fragrance rather than rouge pollen. They taste very beautiful and are different from each other. There are even some with a strong milky fragrance, which is also unique.
In the next three days, Song Fulu was obsessed with performing and did not make any other moves, which surprised some people in the Qing Dynasty.
"That gentleman has been here for three days, eating and sleeping here, but he hasn't ordered any girls. Could it be that he looks down on so many servants?"
"I don't think so. There is no man who doesn't love his wife. He must be short of money, or he is old and unable to do what he wants, hehe."
"What are you talking about? I see that the gentleman is in good health and not feeling any discomfort at all. Maybe he really didn't like the girl, so he didn't bid for her for so long."
"Don't talk nonsense, and don't make random guesses. Although the gentleman has never made a bid, he still pays the due expenses every day and has not owed anything in arrears. Naturally, he is qualified to stay here forever."
……
Several servants responded one after another, stopped talking too much, and continued to prepare. It would be their turn to perform on stage later.
With Song Fulu's physical fitness and five senses, he also heard a little bit and secretly praised the quality of the girls in Caiwen Pavilion. If it were another brothel, I'm afraid they would have been talking about it.
However, after watching the three-day performance, the surrounding guests had changed several times. Only Song Fulu’s place was silent, which was a bit strange.
In this case, starting from today, just go to the backyard and watch the performances of those red-card girls alone.
"Dongdongdong...dongdongdong..."
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance: "Congratulations to Mr. Lei Zhengyang from Shuitang County for being ranked thirty-seventh in the provincial examination and becoming a master of the people's education!"
In the front yard of Caiwen Pavilion, a young man in his twenties jumped up and laughed loudly: "I have been studying poetry and books for twenty years, and now I finally got what I wanted."
The surrounding merchants and bustards came like clouds and crowded over.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lei, congratulations to Mr. Lei, your official career will be prosperous from now on."
"Quick, quick, bring us the Wenqu wine. Only Mr. Lei can drink such a good wine."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"This is the first candidate to be elected from Caiwen Pavilion. Pull up the banner quickly. There must be other candidates who can pass the exam."
"I don't know where Lord Jie Yuan is. If we can invite our Caiwen Pavilion in advance, our Caiwen Pavilion will definitely become famous for this oiran competition."
……
Lei Zhengyang is just the beginning. There are constant sounds of gongs and drums all around, and all the romantic and passionate people are staying in Rouwen Township, waiting for the arrival of the good news.
Time passed little by little, and nearly ten people came out of Caiwen Pavilion alone, which made the shopkeepers beam with joy.
"I don't know where Mr. Jie Yuang is, why haven't I said congratulations yet?"
"The list has been released, so why can't we still see who Mr. Jie Yuangong is?"
"I heard that Mr. Xie Yuangong is not one of those well-known scholars, but a name that is rarely heard of. What is it called Li Wenhua? I am looking for it now."
……
Several scholars around Song Fulu had bitter expressions on their faces and were drinking to drown their sorrows.
"We don't exist at this time, and there is a high probability that we won't exist. This time we failed again."
"I asked you to go to the bottom of the list and you didn't go. You have to wait here. Now it's embarrassing."
"There are so many beauties here. If you can pass the exam, you will be honored if you take the exam here."
……
Inadvertently seeing Song Fulu drinking next to him, several scholars felt sympathy for each other.
"Brother, you are also a scholar who participated in this provincial examination, right? Didn't you receive the list now?"
"Instead of drinking alone, it's better to drink together and order something refreshing later. After a good night, you can go home tomorrow and fight again in three years."
"To be fair, we are only in our twenties. How many more times can we take the test in the future? Maybe we will win."
"This brother is almost forty. I'm afraid he won't be able to take a few provincial exams, but don't worry, we won't pass the exam and we still have a son."
……
Song Fulu was speechless and smiled and clinked a drink with them: "That's right. If we don't pass the exam, let our son take the exam. If our son doesn't pass, let our grandson take the exam. If our grandson doesn't pass, let our great-grandson take the exam. There will always be someone who can take the exam.
Up."
Hearing what Song Fulu said was interesting, several people laughed.
"Brothers are still open-minded, we are not as good as others."
"If you don't mind, brother, we will sleep with the same servant."
"I'm coming too. It's been a long time since I've been with my friends to learn the art of the house."
……
Song Fulu suddenly felt that everyone was really not from the same group.
"Dongdongdong...dongdongdong..."
"Dangdangdang...dangdangdang..."
……
At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums resounding in the sky from far to near, surpassing any previous congratulations, slowly walked towards Caiwen Pavilion.
Among the sounds of gongs and drums, there is also the faint sound of bells and drums.
Hearing this voice, the entire Caiwen Pavilion was shocked.
"The Bell of Jieyuan, this is the sound of celebrating Master Jieyuan."
"The provincial examination is held once every three years, and only the first place winner in each province is qualified to receive the celebrations with bells and drums. It can be said that he is the literary star of a province."
"On the banks of the Luoshui River, the Bell of Jieyuan, after three years, I finally saw this grand scene again."
"Haha, Mr. Xie Yuan is also a member of my generation. He is also in this red building by the Luoshui River. He is also a member of the same path as us."
"Where is Mr. Xie Yuan? Go and find out. We must let Mr. Xie Yuan come to our Caiwen Pavilion. We can't let him be robbed by other pavilions."
"Tell Master Jie Yuan that as long as he is willing to come to our Caiwen Pavilion and compose a poem, Zhao Jiajia will be his."
……
Compared with Mr. Jieyuan, what is the oiran?
Caiwen Pavilion also thought that Jieyuan in this provincial examination was snatched away by other pavilions, so it offered such generous conditions, but it didn't know that Jieyuan had been in Caiwen Pavilion all along.
Several scholars around also stood up in a hurry, excited, jealous and yearning.
"I don't know which talented high school student ranked first in the provincial examination."
"This is what a real man should do, he should be at the top of the list, he will be a high school student, he will be famous in Luoshui, and he will fall in love with beautiful women."
"Studying the scriptures for thirty years is just for today."
……
The brothels around Caiwen Pavilion were also in a state of excitement. Countless beautiful scholars stood on the street, at the railings, and at the entrance of the brothel... Looking at the huge congratulatory team slowly approaching, they all showed their longing and expectation.
Color.
Those who rank first in the provincial exams generally have a high chance of continuing to take the exams. They have a high chance of becoming a high school Jinshi. Not to mention nine out of ten, there is at least a 50% chance of success. It doesn’t hurt to even be called a quasi-Jinshi. p>
If a candidate is only qualified to be an official, then a Jinshi can definitely be an official, and he starts as a county magistrate. This is also the consistent rule of Leguo. A powerful Jinshi is even more likely to become a high-ranking official in a state or county.
Therefore, the status of Jieyuan is different from that of ordinary Juren. The two are not on the same level at all.
Jieyuan is known as the literary star of the province. In this ancient society that valued literature over martial arts, one can imagine how high his status was.
Not to mention the county magistrate, even the top leaders of the prefecture and county, and even the top officials of the province must be courteous.
The gongs and drums were noisy, and the bells were ringing, stopping in front of Caiwen Pavilion.
At this time, several scholars around were still wondering: "Brother, why are you still sitting and drinking? Why don't you get up and see Mr. Xie Yuangong?"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of singing also sounded at the door of Caiwen Pavilion: "Congratulations to Tang County scholar Li Wenhua for ranking first in the provincial examination, and high school student Xie Yuangong... Congratulations to Tang County scholar Li Wenhua for ranking first in the provincial examination, and high school student Xie Yuangong...
..."
He shouted dozens of times in a row, causing the entire Luoshui River to be silent. Everyone's eyes fell on Caiwen Pavilion, waiting for Mr. Jie Yuangong to appear.
The shopkeepers and bustards of Caiwen Pavilion also realized something, their faces became excited, and they all looked around, trying to find the whereabouts of Mr. Jie Yuangong.
Song Fulu put down his cup, stood up and walked downstairs. At this moment, no one moved in Caiwen Pavilion. Only Song Fulu's footsteps immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that it was Song Fulu, several scholars next to him suddenly widened their eyes, and all the courtiers in the building also widened their bright eyes, and all of them fell on Song Fulu, which was brilliant and longing for him.
"I didn't expect that brother was Mr. Jie Yuangong, not the one who failed. We were really embarrassed just now."
"It turns out that the man who has been in the front yard for three days is Mr. Jie Yuangong. No wonder his heart has been calm for three days. No one can move him. Only Mr. Jie Yuangong can be so calm and composed."
"Mr. Xie Yuangong used to be in our Caiwen Pavilion. This time our Caiwen Pavilion won the first place again. Tonight's oiran convention will definitely outshine the rest."
"Quickly, quickly, bring over the jar of century-old Wenqu wine, and at the same time give red envelopes and gift money to all the celebrants. Do I need to say this kind of thing? It is our Caiwen Pavilion that Duke Jie Yuang can come to."
How can Wen Ge be allowed to allow Duke Jie Yuan to pay for the reward?"
……
The entire Caiwen Pavilion was busy, with countless young and beautiful courtesans flocking around, smiling brightly, being charming and willing to give everything for Song Fulu.
Many red cards and oirans from the surrounding brothels also came over, trying to lure Song Fulu to their pavilion. Caiwen Pavilion was so frightened that it quickly sent out oiran Zhao Jiajia to accompany Song Fulu to prevent Song Fulu from being lured away by other brothels.
Song Fulu thought about it for a moment and decided to stay in Caiwen Pavilion. After all, the oiran Zhao Jiajia is really beautiful and has outstanding temperament. She can be called the most beautiful woman by the Luoshui River, which is really heart-warming.
