Great Blue Night Watchman

When the song ends, the curtains are played, and the sound in the restaurant is like thunder...

"Back then I only knew the Yulou Dance, but today I know the Yulou Song! The Yulou Girl's song should be the last song of Xie Lou! Isn't it time for 'Gui Liang' next?" A noble prince opened his folding fan and sighed with emotion.

It is a common practice for a famous prostitute to resign from her mansion and join a good family. Celebrities and wealthy people all seek her out. Even high-ranking officials are sometimes not exempt from vulgarity. When a famous prostitute is taken as a concubine, the person who was once sought after by millions of people becomes his plaything from now on. , what a face-saving thing it is?

Therefore, today's Haining Tower is crowded with celebrities.

Everyone competes for the former courtesan.

The noble young master was the first to stand up: "Xie Dong, a young man, would like to offer a hundred taels of silver as an offer to invite a girl to my Xie family. I will treat her sincerely."

As soon as these words came out, the whole building exploded...

What is the concept of one hundred taels of silver? I can buy ten yellow-flowered girls! The betrothal gift, which was so high at the beginning, suddenly ended the dreams of 90% of people.

Just when a few people were about to speak, they sat down again, with veins all over their heads...

A man who looked like a businessman stood up and said, "I am willing to hire you with 300 taels of silver!"

300 taels! Depend on!

Another person stood up and said: "I live in the Jinlou owner's house in the east of the city. My wife has just died and she came into my Chen family. She is called my concubine, but she is actually my wife. As for the betrothal gift, what about 500 taels?"

As soon as these words came out, the face of the businessman who bid 300 suddenly turned gloomy, and Xie Dong, who was bidding in front of him, also had his eyes bulging...

If you fight for money, fight for money. How can you let others play by saying, "The principal wife has just died, so Yulou can enjoy the treatment of a principal wife"? You can't kill your first wife just to have a concubine, right?

The stalemate only lasted for a moment. Zhang Xiu, who was first on the left, opened his folding fan and said, "Nonsense! What kind of status does the Yulou girl have as a courtesan? Is this something that a mere businessman can dream of? ... Xiaosheng offers a thousand taels as an offer to welcome Yulou. Come into my Zhang Mansion!"

He raised his hand slightly, and in his palm was a banknote with a face value of one thousand taels.

The whole building was quiet.

Several businessmen looked at each other and sat down slowly.

Xie Dong's face changed, and he slowly sat down.

A scholar next to Zhang Xiu smiled slightly: "Since Brother Zhang has this intention, how can brothers dare to fight with you? Congratulations to Brother Zhang!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang!"

"The number one showman in Quzhou and the number one courtesan in Haining is really a good story in the literary world..."

"Congratulations to Miss Yulou..."

Suddenly, the direction of the whole building changed, and everyone congratulated Zhang Xiu and Yu Lou. Including Xie Dong, several businessmen who jumped out to bid.

When Zhang Xiu comes out, they really don't dare to fight. Who is Zhang Xiu? The best talent in Quzhou, a serious literary genius! His Zhang family is still a powerful official in the court: Minister of the Ministry of War, in terms of talents, status, and wealth, every family is top-notch.

…

Not to mention the other people in the building, all of them are wearing clothes with capital letters. Behind the bead curtain, the several brothel people all have blurred eyes. Who can refuse such a graceful first show in Quzhou and the heroic style of spending a lot of money?

The woman in the dress smiled: "It is really a blessing for Yulou to be valued by Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang, please lift the bead curtain yourself and send your love to her..."

Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Yulou received a lot of love from my mother in the past, and I will thank you deeply after my little birthday."

The woman in full dress smiled like a flower: "I would like to thank you in advance. Mr. Zhang, please..."

Zhang Xiu stretched out his hand and opened the bead curtain.

This is the last step to resign and return home, to lift the bead curtain and take away the oiran...

Lin Su raised his eyes, just in time to meet Shang Yulou's eyes, and she was also looking at him.

What kind of eyes are these? Desolate and desolate, the song she had just sung suddenly came to his mind: My heart is like the moon, I can't get what I want...

Yulou looked away from his face, turned to Zhang Xiuying and bowed: "Thanks to Mr. Zhang's love, but Yulou had an appointment with someone before... I'm sorry that I can't serve you."

The smile on Zhang Xiu's face suddenly stiffened.

The whole building was silent, everyone looked at each other and refused!

She actually refused!

The Zhang family wants fame, officialdom, and money. Zhang Xiu himself is still the number one showman in Quzhou... Do you know what you are rejecting?

After a moment, the smile on Zhang Xiu's face reappeared: "Miss Yulou, you said you have an appointment first, may I ask who you have an appointment with?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the young master, and I don't dare to trouble the young master to ask. Yulou thanks the young master again for his love, and hopes that the young master will be considerate." Yulou bowed deeply and returned to his original position.

The restaurant was deathly silent.

Everyone has also heard rumors that Yulou and the Lin family's son are not in touch with each other. Is it true?

But today's Lin family is in ruins.

The person she had an unclear relationship with didn't even come over.

Under such circumstances, she actually rejected Zhang Xiu and the best destination a woman in the world could find...

The face of the dressed-up woman changed slightly, and she couldn't hold the show any longer. She turned to Zhang Xiu for help, but Zhang Xiu didn't look at her at all with a cold face.

Her eyes moved to Yulou, who was also sitting with his head bowed and not looking at her.

The air seemed to have completely solidified.

Finally, the woman in costume forced a smile: "Everyone in the world has his own ambitions. Since the girl from Yulou has her own decision, then... Let's move on to the next chapter. Please invite me, the 'Yutoupai' Prajna girl from Yuxianglou..." Yutoupai, The top number one in the brothel used to be Yu Lou. Now that Yu Lou has retired, the new number one is to take over from Yu Lou.

The bead curtain on the right side was raised, and everyone's eyes brightened.

The bead curtain on the right side was denser. At first, no one could see clearly what was inside. But now when it was opened, a wave of youthful vitality rushed towards the face. Nine girls prostrated themselves on the ground, silhouetted against a stunning beauty in the middle. Flower heart.

The beauty slowly raised her head, and her stunning appearance immediately conquered the entire audience.

With a turn of bright eyes, the room was filled with spring light.

The nine girls slowly raised their heads. At the same time, the beauty in the center rose lightly. The whole process was like a flower blooming, full of beauty.

She is Prajna. She is twenty-nine years old, the most beautiful age in a woman's life.

She bowed lightly to everyone: "Little girl Prajna, I will perform a dance for you talented people. This dance is called 'Light Clothes'. I only hope that the young master can remember Prajna's appearance in light clothes..."

Along with her bow, the nine girls behind her also bowed down at the same time. They still looked like flowers, but this flower now had boundless movement.

However, what she said...

Dance in light clothes?

Everyone was a little surprised...

Someone next to Lin Su whispered: "Isn't this Qingyi dance the famous dance of the Yulou girl in the past? Isn't it a little rude for her to do this?"

Today, the old and new oirans are alternating. The new oiran can perform her own special plays and conquer the audience, but she chooses the famous works of the recently departed oiran. This is interesting.

The signal sent is: she is confident that she can dance better than the old oiran! She wants to step on the old courtesan and get the upper hand!

At the beginning of the dance, Prajna's figure was graceful and unrestrained. Her whole body was as soft as boneless, but smooth as silk. Accompanied by the ethereal guzheng, her smart eyes were sometimes resentful and sometimes joyful. She was obviously not explicit, but she performed That ecstasy that eats away at the bone marrow...

Lin Su felt something as he listened to the discussion in his ears. He moved his eyes to the Jade Tower on the left. The Jade Tower was neither sad nor happy, but smiled calmly.

After the dance, the whole place was thunderous.

The applause of the ten talented performers from Quzhou was particularly enthusiastic. Under their leadership, the atmosphere in the entire building became intense, surpassing Yu Lou's "Xie Lou Song" just now.

Zhang Xiu stood up and walked to the right: "Girl Prajna's dance is the real light-clothed dance. Seeing such a wonderful dance, this young student is truly lucky for three lifetimes... Two thousand taels of silver, just to express my feelings."

He presented two thousand taels of silver notes with both hands.

The Eight Shows of Quzhou cheered in unison, and the restaurant was about to go crazy...

The faces of everyone below are all abnormal, and this signal is too obvious...

Zhang Xiu had just been rejected by the girl from Yulou, so she immediately fought back. The strength of this counterattack and the amount of money she spent were unparalleled. He said that Prajna's Qingyi Dance is the real Qingyi Dance. In one sentence, he denies Yulou's famous talent. For a celebrity of his status, one sentence basically qualifies Qingyi Dance.

He gave Yulou a thousand taels of silver notes, and now he doubled them and gave them to Prajna. Of course, this was also a slap in the face to Yulou.

Although Yulou was quiet and intellectual, his expression changed slightly, and he found it difficult to sit still within the bead curtain.

Prajna's face was flushed, her beautiful eyes were filled with honey, and she thanked her with a sweet voice. The nine girls behind her leaned up at the same time, softly and bonelessly embracing Prajna with their bodies. Prajna's opening today came to a perfect ending...

The dressed-up woman smiled broadly and came out with a group of beauties: "Now is the last part of the Cilou Banquet. I invite all the talented men to drink all the wine in their glasses, present poems to the two generations of courtesans, and hold a flower to explain it." Yuhua, send me a romantic love..."

The beauties behind them turned sideways at the same time. Each of them held several silk flowers in their hands. The silk flowers were spread out in their palms. Their figures were graceful and graceful, and they looked like they were ready to be picked...

The climax of the party has arrived.

The core part of the Cilou Banquet is the presentation of poems.

This is the literary man’s moment of expression.

All the literati held up the wine glasses in front of them and drank them all in one gulp...

Lin Su also moved his eyes to the wine glass in front of him, held it up, and took a sip...

After taking this sip, his cheeks puffed up...

Holy shit! Is this wine?

Really not jealous? Or call it sour plum soup?

Zhang Xiu was the first to stand up, walked to the right, picked up a branch of Jieyuhua, and handed it to Prajna...

"Master Zhang!" Prajna's face was extremely red, and she took the Jie Yu Hua. Her eyes were watery as if she were drunk, and the beauty behind the flower was even more beautiful than the flower.

Zhang Xiu picked up the pen in the tray next to him and wrote a poem. The beautiful woman in costume read loudly: "Spring rivers and spring water in Haining Tower, dancing in light clothes for half a day, I don't believe how beautiful the world is, Prajna will be crowned Quzhou from now on..." ...Young master said that Prajna Guanquzhou, you can come to support me often from now on..."

The whole audience burst into cheers and cheers...

Prajna's face became even redder, and his eyes seemed to be dripping with honey...

Another person came forward, took off the Jieyuhua, and handed it to Prajna. The people below cheered: "Master Jin..."

This person is also one of the ten outstanding figures in Quzhou. The poem goes:

"The light shadows dance upstairs, the fragrance of flowers explains the language..."

wonderful! Countless people also cheered.

Another person still gave the Jieyu Flower to Prajna, along with a poem...

In the blink of an eye, thirteen people presented poems, Prajna held a large armful of interpretation flowers, but on the Yulou side, nothing was found. Everyone in the five brothels behind Yulou looked at each other, got up and left one after another, Yulou seemed not to notice, and sat quietly. ,Keep smiling……

Half an hour passed, and those who presented flowers and poems finally came to an end. There was already a sea of ​​flowers in front of Prajna, but there was still no flower at the Jade Tower. She was still smiling, but if she was more careful, she might be able to See the loneliness hidden in the corner of her eyes.

There was a cruel smile on Zhang Xiu's face, you bitch, you are so shameless, I will let you know what the world is!

He opened his folding fan slightly, and the words "This is the style of writing" appeared on it. He slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Su: "Third Young Master Lin, are you really just freeloading at the banquet?"

"Huh?" The topic finally came to him, and Lin Su tilted her head to look at him.

Next to him, Mr. Jin also opened his folding fan: "Sir Mr. Lin, although today is the Cilou Banquet, the main theme is still the literati poetry meeting. Participants need to write a poem. You have eaten enough. Go back now and let you..." My brother, who fell ill, wrote a poem to join in the fun."

As soon as the four words "I'm sick" came out, the whole room burst into laughter...

Lin Su also smiled: "Writing poetry? There's no need to go back! My brother entrusted me to bring him here..."

oh? Everyone in the building was silent. Everyone was not stupid. They all knew that although the protagonist of today's banquet was Yulou, there were actually two secret protagonists. One was Prajna, and Prajna was favored by the magistrate. The second one is the Lin family. The Lin family is what the Zhang family wants to step on.

The Lin family sent out a useless third son. Everyone sighed that this was a good move. It was enough for them to save up the strength to punch all the punches into the cotton.

Because he can accept nothing, he is a waste, who is he afraid of?

But who would have thought that the third young master actually accepted the offer? Wouldn't it be that it was almost dawn and he had to urinate on the bed temporarily?

Lin Su stood up slowly, and everyone's eyes were focused on him...

Lin Su picked up a flower that explained the language. Prajna was a little confused. She didn't know whether she should bow to this person. If she treated him with the same courtesy, would it annoy Mr. Zhang?

If you don't give him the necessary courtesy, it will somewhat damage your oiran demeanor...

Lin Su passed in front of her!

Gone!

Went to the Jade Tower...
