Mother Hua led the girls to stand on the high platform for a while, then let them go down.
"My dear gentlemen, the girls have read it, are you satisfied? Talented men, if you want to compete in poetry, let's start now!"
The rule of Tianxiang Pavilion is that literature will be given priority. Even if someone is in a hurry, they have to wait until the poem competition is more than halfway through before they can start shouting for money.
Mr. Jia had already seen Hua Lian on the high platform. The last time he saw Hua Lian in Tianxiang Pavilion, he couldn't forget it after he went back. There were many girls in Tianxiang Pavilion, and many were prettier than Hua Lian, but when he saw her eyes, he was shy
With her timid beautiful eyes and frail and boneless figure, I couldn't help but want to pull her into my arms and give her a good love.
Thinking of this, Mr. Jia's whole body was boiling. He couldn't wait any longer. He would not hesitate to spend thousands of taels of silver tonight.
Since it was a poetry competition, someone had to take the lead. No, there was a scholar on the first floor who couldn't wait. I think he had prepared it before, so he opened his mouth to the poems and composed two poems in a row before he stopped.
Gu Chengyu listened to it and realized that the poem was very suitable for the scene and described the beauty.
Someone started, and then others started one after another. Gu Chengyu glanced at Min Feng, and saw that he was still standing still. He thought he was going to speak at the end, the finale! Doesn't he have to appear at the end?
Liu Haonan wiped the sweat from his forehead and entered the first floor of Tianxiang Pavilion. He found that it was already crowded. Looking up, he saw Min Feng and Huang Junheng in the seats on the right. Thinking that they were all three great talents, they should
You won't refuse him to join, right? Today I heard that Miss Xiyan can play piano music, so of course he can't miss it.
Liu Haonan shuttled between the tables and chairs downstairs and ran upstairs.
Gu Chengyu had already seen Liu Haonan when he appeared. Everyone was sitting, only the servants and attendants had no seats. When Liu Haonan came in, he seemed a bit abrupt. Originally, he was wondering why Liu Haonan didn't come! After all,
No one would be tempted by such an opportunity, right? Seeing him running in such a hurry, I thought he had been delayed by something.
"Senior Brother Min, Senior Brother Huang!" Liu Haonan went up to the elegant seat and greeted Min Feng and Huang Junheng.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Liu. I have an appointment with Junior Brother Liu's beauty, but I can't come to Tianxiang Pavilion. I'm just in time. The literary meeting has just begun. Junior Brother Liu will write a few poems today to let everyone appreciate Junior Brother Liu's literary talent.
.”
Huang Junheng looked at Liu Haonan sweating profusely and laughed secretly in his heart. Liu Haonan's cousin came to the capital from Yingnan Mansion to look for him. He thought that Liu Haonan would definitely not be able to come today in order to deal with his cousin. Looking at the situation, he threw away his cousin
, I think it took a lot of effort.
Although Liu Haonan's talent and learning were not as good as those of Huang and Min, he prepared his poems at home for a long time and was considered the best among the students.
Liu Haonan was invited to sit down by Huang Junheng, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
Gu Chengyu watched with cold eyes. It was just a cultural gathering held in a brothel, but it was able to gather all the talented people. It seemed that the naughty girl was really attractive to the talented people.
"Chengyu! You don't want to compose one? I see that there are dozens of poems that have been composed in front of me, but I think they are all average." Although Zhu Pang is not sensitive to poems, he still has some appreciation.
Gu Chengyu shook his head, "I'm not very interested. I'll save the girl when I call for money, and then we'll leave."
Some talented people looked serious from outside, but when they came to this brothel, they even wrote obscene lyrics and songs, with beautiful poems and beautiful paintings. What's even more strange is that they were sought after by some people. It seems that after entering Tianxiang Pavilion, even moral integrity was lost.
No more.
"Now that you're here, let's stay a little longer! Look, the three great talents in Jiangnan over there haven't composed a poem yet! Then Min Feng looked over, thinking he's waiting for you to speak! If you don't compose a poem, how can you
Don’t you want to disappoint them?”
Zhu Pang came here just to watch the excitement. How could he be willing to leave just now when the excitement has not yet come?
Mr. Jia felt extremely bored when he saw those talented people writing these sour poems. They were here to buy girls for a while, who had the time to listen to Nao Shizi's poems?
"Mom Hua, when will the bidding start? We are all rough people and cannot appreciate these poems, so we should bid the price first."
Mother Hua saw that the real talents had not yet started to write poems, and she wanted to wait. But she also knew that the richest people were these rough guys. Isn't she just doing this to make money?
There were already many gentlemen waiting impatiently, so Hua Mama decided to start calling out the price first. As for the first place, after calling out the price, she would wait a little longer and select the first place without any delay.
"Since you gentlemen can't wait any longer, let's start first! There are eight girls in total, let's come one by one."
Mr. Jia and the other gentlemen who came with him were extremely excited when they heard that it was about to begin.
"Chengyu, the bidding over there has started, which girl are you interested in? Anyway, you are rich, even with money, you can still settle on that girl." After reading for a while, there were no outstanding poems, Zhu Pang began.
Focus on bidding over there.
Gu Chengyu turned around and saw that Hua Lian was the third one, and now the first one was bidding. Gu Chengyu took a look at the girl, and found that the girl's appearance was slightly better than Hua Lian's.
Probably hoping to get off to a good start, Mother Hua specially arranged one of the more beautiful girls to be the first one.
"This is Miss Yanhui. She has some knowledge of poetry and prose, not to mention her appearance and figure. If you, the gentlemen, are interested in her, don't be stingy with the money in your pockets."
Hua's mother said something a little explicit, but there was no anger in the eyes of the girl Yan Hui. Instead, she looked shy and smiled. Yan Hui knew that there was no way to escape today, and she just wanted to have a baby tonight.
Good price, this is related to the level of her receiving customers in the future.
If there is less money today, then she will receive guests without raising the price. At that time, Hua’s mother will arrange benefactors for her at will. For ten taels or twenty taels, she can stay with her for one night and completely become a heavenly fragrance.
The lowest girl in the house.
"I like this girl. I'll pay you eighty taels." A gentleman was the first to speak. As soon as he spoke, he was despised by everyone present.
Hua's mother had a smile on her face, but she was complaining in her heart that she wanted to buy Yan Hui's first night with only eighty taels. This gentleman was really whimsical, and the price he offered was too low.
Yan Hui was also extremely nervous, and at the same time he was melancholy about his future life. However, he then thought that even if he is the courtesan Xiyan, when he reaches eighteen, he will still have to go through the same journey, there is no difference.
Then there were several rounds of quotations. Gu Chengyu stopped moving when he shouted four hundred and twenty taels, knowing that this was the bottom line. Gu Chengyu didn't pay attention anymore. Although he felt uncomfortable, he was not holy enough to save all the girls.
