After the song ended, everyone was still silent, and after a long time they suddenly burst into applause. The girl in green hugged the green flute and bowed slightly, looking back and smiling like a peach blossom blooming, which fascinated everyone in the audience and clapped their hands in praise. Some scholars began to comment and praise.
As the sound continued, the girl in green glanced across the crowd, as if everyone had looked at them.
"This look is definitely something I have practiced, it is more seductive than Tong Liya's flirtatious look." Zhang Xiaowu said to himself, he was busy calming down, and he was almost seduced out of lust.
The woman in green clothes smiled like a flower and said: "My little girl Zi Ning, I would like to ask all the great talents for advice on how to play the flute. Is there anyone who can teach me, please give me some advice? This little girl is new to the flute art and is not very proficient. If there are any differences, please give me some advice."
"
Look, although her eyes are as charming as silk, all she asks are professional questions. This is the style of a famous prostitute. The kind of prostitute who spreads her legs and raises her head and says "man, hurry up" is so powerful. If
By analogy with modern times, prostitutes are equivalent to girls in foot washing shops, prostitutes in brothels are equivalent to female Internet celebrities, and courtesans are similar to actresses. They are expensive because of their beauty, but they are worthless once married.
An old scholar in his forties stood up and said from afar: "Miss Zi Ning's "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is so exquisite that the musicians are so good at it with just the sound of the flute, how can we dare to teach it? Just between the sound of Zi Ning's flute,
Occasionally there is a sound of difficulty in breathing, could it be that Miss Zi Ning didn't get a good rest?"
Miss Zi Ning was slightly surprised at first, and then pursed her lips and smiled: "Your distinguished guest has a sharp eye, and I really can't hide it from everyone. The little girl was so nervous that she couldn't sleep yesterday in preparation for today's performance. Your honored guest is Mr. Lu of Caowei Academy, I heard.
Mr. Lu is a man who despises being an official in the world. He only wants to teach pillars who go abroad, and settles down in the county as a professor. If a teacher has the character of Mr. Lu, why worry about our sage Han not ruling the world with culture?"
Mr. Na Lu was immediately elated after being praised. He bowed to the ground and said excitedly: "What the old man has done is not worth mentioning. He just set up a small Caowei School in Daizhou to teach the students who are destined to teach the two generations of us.
It’s just a matter of transporting talents from the state, it’s really not worth mentioning.” However, there are not many people who want to be officials who study, but they are reduced to teaching and educating people, which shows how frustrated and frustrated they are.
Zhang Hong suddenly leaned half over and whispered to Zhang Xiaowu: "This Mr. Lu is so shameless."
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "Brother Zhang, why did you say this?"
Zhang Hongdao: "This Caowei Academy only recruits children from rich families. It doesn't recruit those who are destined. For him, those who are destined are rich people, and those who have no money naturally have no destiny. Besides, this Lu Ming, who originally passed the exam, was not good enough."
This is a Jinshi in Renban. This Jinshi in Renban must start from the eighth rank official. He Lu Ming also
He was assigned to the miserable land of Bingzhou, and he resigned because he did not want to endure hardship. This man was actually able to deceive others. He had one wife and four concubines, but he did not give up and came here to win over twelve gold hairpins." The officials of the Holy Han Dynasty were divided into seventeen.
The levels are respectively the first rank, the first rank, the second rank, the second rank, and the ninth rank official.
County magistrates are divided into seventh-rank county magistrates and seventh-rank county magistrates, the seventh-rank county magistrate in large counties, and the seventh-rank subordinate county magistrate. In addition, the eighth-rank county magistrate is in charge of local civil land; the eighth-rank county captain is in charge of local military, post, and military service.
; The chief bookkeeper is from the eighth rank and is in charge of local accounts and taxation; the teaching edict is from the eighth rank and is in charge of local education;
The eighth rank of general judge is responsible for the trial and detection of local cases, but is not responsible for solving the case; the ninth rank of arrester is in charge of local anti-theft and public security; the ninth rank of prison guard is in charge of the local prison; the ninth rank of diansi is in charge of local grain storage; in addition, professor
, Cao Si, Kong Mu, Li Dian, Tie Li, etc. are all minor officials and do not hold official positions.
Officials are different from civil servants. Officials are appointed by the court and enjoy both the court salary and local salary, while civil servants only enjoy local salary and a single salary. Therefore, only scholars who cannot become officials are forced to become minor officials. If Mr. Lu hadn't disliked Bingzhou
Han Ku refused to take up a job, and he was not reduced to the status of just a professor now. He was an official and did not pretend to be a professor. Obviously, people despised him more than admired him.
Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly after listening to Zhang Hong's words, and then saw Miss Zi Ning talking about music rhythm with others. Her erudition and knowledge are really admirable, she actually knows so much at such a young age.
Since it is a competition for beauty, it is natural to judge who is the winner of the twelve golden hairpins, and the method of selection is to send cloud flowers to the favorite golden hairpin. There are twelve flower baskets placed under the beauty stage, and each flower basket is engraved with a
The woman's name, there were many cloud flowers in Miss Zi Ning's flower basket. Zhang Xiaowu asked Wang
Yijin went to inquire about it and found out that a cloud flower cost ten taels of silver. How could ordinary students afford to buy cloud flowers as gifts? However, after Mr. Lu was praised by Miss Zi Ning, he impulsively spent a hundred taels of silver as a gift.
Duo Yunhua, sitting in the fifth row right now, is complaining of toothache.
A wealthy guest in the front row waved his hand, and immediately a turtle slave sang: "On behalf of Zhou Li Mo, I send Miss Zi Ning a hundred cloud flowers!"
Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking that this wealthy businessman from Daizhou named Li Mo was really rich, so he just took out a thousand taels of silver and didn't feel any pain? Miss Zi Ning immediately turned around and looked at her with loving eyes.
Looking at Li Haoke, his eyes seemed to be expressing gratitude, more like moving.
Love. Of course, Zhang Xiaowu knew that this was just girl Zi Ning's acting. After all, the wealthy man named Li Mo looked very much like an actor named Du Xudong in later generations. If girl Zi Ning fell in love with Du Xudong at first sight, then this girl Zi Ning didn't
A blind man is a fool.
At this time, the pipa girls around them began to play, and the white gauze curtain slowly fell, covering Yantai again. Guan Cheng and others repeatedly exclaimed at the white gauze curtain, wondering how this girl Zi Ning appeared and how she left.
Go. Wang Yijin couldn't help shouting: "My lord, my lord, how did Miss Zi Ning get on stage? Is she a fairy? Or a female ghost?"
Zhang Xiaowu gave him a nod and laughed and scolded: "It's not a fairy or a female ghost, it's just a mechanism. Under the beauty platform, there should be the entrance and exit of a cellar." Thinking of the cellar, Zhang Xiaowu suddenly realized that he didn't know Hui'er and Xing at first.
Where the children were being imprisoned, I suddenly had the idea that they were being imprisoned under this platform. Or perhaps, the entire underground of Cuiyan Pavilion was filled with underground chambers, and they must be here.
Zhang Xiaowu's eyes flashed, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he put one hand behind his back involuntarily, touching the iron mace in the umbrella.
The white gauze curtain was pulled up again, and there was only a round stool on the stage. Miss Zi Ning was indeed gone.
At this time, I saw the beautiful woman who had teased Zhang Xiaowu at the door walking up to the stage with a fan and someone was shouting from below: "Sister Dongxiang, why don't you see this beauty? Are you hiding her?
?Your Cuiyan Tower is truly amazing today. It will be spread for thousands of miles, and even the folk paintings in Longdu City cannot compare with it."
Sister Dongxiang Yuanshan pointed at the man and said: "You are so sweet, isn't our Cuiyan Pavilion a goblin cave? Since it is a goblin, it naturally flew away."
Zhang Xiaowu asked Lu E and Qing Dai beside him: "This sister Dongxiang, is actually the head of Cuiyan Pavilion?"
Qingdai said: "Yes, she decides everything in Cuiyan Pavilion."
Guancheng said: "I thought it was a female official, but it turned out to be the boss." This boss is older than the female official. He is basically equivalent to the shopkeeper of the brothel, and his status is second only to the boss. But the boss of Cuiyan Pavilion is Yingchuan Hou Murong.
Home, so this Dong Xiang speaks with great weight in Lianglang City, and it also speaks volumes in Cuiyan Pavilion.
Zhang Xiaowu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's interesting. Sister Dongxiang once talked to me. She just said a few words and she made me speechless. She was really sharp-tongued."
Lu'e sighed and whispered: "Speaking of Sister Dongxiang, she is also a miserable person." Zhang Xiaowu was curious, so Lu'e started talking. It turned out that Sister Dongxiang was one of the Twelve Golden Hairpins ten years ago.
She once dominated all the beauties with her folk art, and was favored by many dignitaries and wealthy scholars. However, Dongxiang only loved a poor scholar. After redeeming herself, she pledged herself to him, but the scholar went to Beijing to take the exam.
After being named on the list, she wrote a passionate poem: "How can white hair wear green tassels?" After Dongxiang got this letter, she was almost blind and her heart was ashen. From then on, she no longer believed in men. Her employer took pity on her and knew that she had been cheated.
Since he could no longer be a guan'er, he left her to serve as the chief servant in Cuiyan Pavilion. Because Dongxiang's story was so legendary, people paid no less attention to her than the Twelve Golden Hairpins.
Although Zhang Xiaowu didn't know Dong Xiang's fame, he knew that this woman was something special when he saw that she could arouse everyone's cheers from the moment she took the stage.
Dongxiang has a graceful figure and has more points of charm and prestige than the Twelve Golden Hairpins. She said again: "Thank you all for your favor to Miss Zi Ning, especially Mr. Li's Yunhua. Please don't act too hastily. My family
The other girls have made some preparations and will definitely give you their best performances later. I did not expect to be lucky enough to meet the Thirteenth Young Master Murong today. The Thirteenth Young Master is auspicious, and the slave Dongxiang is here to salute you."
The gentleman in the audience who was more feminine and beautiful than a woman smiled and bowed his hand, and tapped the wine with his finger. Dongxiang understood and exclaimed: "Thank you, the Thirteenth Young Master, for coming. Gentlemen, the Thirteenth Young Master will give you a bottle of wine."
.”
"Thank you, Thirteenth Young Master."
"As expected of the Murong family."
"The Thirteenth Young Master is so lucky."
"Whenever you see the Thirteenth Young Master from now on, you must come forward and bow to him."
Although there were a few high-rollers who were not happy to be so spotlighted by Murong Shisan, the Lianglang Pass was Murong Jia's territory, and they could not tolerate resistance. Some local high-rollers whispered: "This monster is the best at stealing the limelight."
, who doesn’t know that Pingxiu Fang is his family’s property.”
Another foreigner asked curiously: "Monster? How do you put it like this?"
The local wealthy man said: "It's just because he looks like a boy and a girl, he dresses more handsomely than the Twelve Golden Hairpins, and he even talks and behaves in a feminine manner. Alas... But you and I must not offend this person. This person
A small-bellied chicken's intestines will surely retaliate. As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge will last three years, but this demon will take revenge from morning to night."
