Chapter 61: The Three Flower Shops, Undercurrents Surge
There are three large square buildings in the flower house.
One is Jiaosifang, the other is Xiangmanlou, and the third is Xiaoxiang Pavilion. These three flower houses have a long history in the imperial capital and are three time-honored signatures. Anyone with money will give priority to these three when looking for flowers and willows.
Every flower house has one or two famous courtesans.
There is Li Yanran in Jiaoshi Square, Jiang Wanshu in Xiangmanlou, and Zhao Yingying in Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Of course, there are many good-looking people, but these three are slightly better than them in all aspects such as talent, literature and art. They are the tools for making money and fame in these flower shops. With the ring of noble oiran in a fireworks place, naturally
You don't have to gossip to accompany your guests, and you have your own unique way of doing things.
The courtesan is not only the master in the flower shop, but also the goddess who protects herself like a jade in the eyes of talented men and prostitutes.
Spending money to hire an oiran to sing and dance for you is the greatest declaration of financial power.
If you can spend one night with him, that is the ultimate secret of being a literary talent.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion is one of the three major flower buildings in Huafang.
There is a lot of entertainment and liveliness here. Compared with the other two major flower shops, Xiaoxiang Pavilion has more customers than those two combined. Xiaoxiang Pavilion is also the largest flower shop. As long as you have money, you don’t select customers here, so it can last for a long time.
It has not declined and has become one of the three major flower buildings.
A masked girl relied on strange movement skills to shuttle up and down, move left and right, and slipped into a room under the eyes of everyone. There was a beautiful woman in the room. Her ears suddenly twitched, and she didn't care. She concentrated on decorating herself until she was caught.
The masked girl covered her eyes and smiled slightly.
"Who is it? Stop making trouble."
"Guess who I am?" The masked girl smiled broadly, even the veil could not cover her delicate and beautiful face.
After hearing this, the woman guessed with a puzzled smile: "Xiaohua, is that you?"
"No, no, guess again."
"Xiao Qing?"
"No, guess again."
"Cat, puppy, chicken, pig?"
"Huh! Holy aunt, you already knew it was me. It's not fun, it's not fun!" The masked girl took her hand away, helplessly hugged the woman's neck, and rubbed her face against hers very intimately.
"Ah, it's you, my little raccoon saint, giggle." The woman's face was deliberately surprised, her smile was beautiful and bright, as if she had received a surprise, she hugged the girl's arm and refused to let go.
"Huh, you've discovered it a long time ago. Don't lie to me. I'm not the little girl I was a few years ago. I've grown up."
"Really? Let aunt take a closer look."
The woman held the girl's face and took off the veil. She was stunned for a moment. She really looked like the young lady she once was, as if she was carved from the same mold. However, this girl was a little childish and cute, without the demure and gentleness.
, I guess the Holy Lord spoiled her.
There is also a backer behind Xiaoxiang Pavilion, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to become so big.
And this backer is called Holy Spirit Sect.
The external name is called Demonic Cult.
The Holy Spirit Sect used Xiaoxiang Pavilion as its station and established a firm foothold in the Fire Tide Imperial Capital. It also used this as a station to collect information from all sources.
The reason why the Holy Spirit Cult is called the Demonic Cult is because its sects have different religions. No matter who they are, they dare to accept even monsters and monsters as their disciples. The leader of the Holy Spirit Cult also has a heaven-defying skill, which is to absorb the force power of others and increase it.
His cultivation is really terrifying, even the five major countries are not willing to provoke him easily, and his strength is extremely powerful.
But just a dozen years ago,
An organization named Daybreak, with the slogan of serving the world's common people, entered the Holy Spirit Mountain, causing the earth to shake. This wave of tricks almost destroyed Daybreak itself.
After this battle,
The Demon Cult had to cease its activities and curb its power. It has not caused harm to the world in the past few years, but its notorious reputation for doing all kinds of evil is still remembered by the world.
Now, the activities of the Holy Spirit Cult have begun again...
The Holy Aunt looked at the girl carefully, her eyes watering with tears, wondering if the Holy Lord would also come out.
"You are a saint of our Holy Spirit Sect, and the Holy Lord is willing to let you out?" He said, scratching the tip of the girl's nose, and pinched her little face lovingly.
"Hehe, I am also a member of the Holy Spirit Sect, so naturally I want to go out and experience it. Why, can't I?"
"Of course, you are the saint of the Holy Spirit Mountain."
...
The Imperial Capital of Fire is bustling with activity, with teahouses, hotels, and streets and alleys filled with all kinds of rumors.
The most talked about poems about Jianghu.
Different voices began to appear in the market, some said good things about Jiang Hu, and some said bad things, and the voices became louder and louder. Naturally, among them were the two brothers and sisters from the Prince's Mansion. The two fell in love with Jiang Hu as soon as they saw him, and they went everywhere to help Jiang Hu.
He rectified his name and put in a good word for him.
Wenzong Gathering Hall in the Imperial Capital.
This is a gathering place for literati, and some famous courtesans and courtesans are often invited to sing and dance for the guests to promote elegance. The Juxian Pavilion is also a recognized gathering place for literati in the imperial capital, where some discuss national affairs and debate current affairs.
, some also discuss spiritual practice.
The curator here is Gao Feng, the son of Gao Ping, the leader of Wenzong at that time.
This person is young, has extremely profound writing skills, and has extremely profound runic power. He is a genius disciple of the famous Huochao.
Looking at the intellectual talents having a heated discussion downstairs, Gao Feng felt a little proud.
He saw it with his own eyes when Jiang Hu appeared out of nowhere and overwhelmed the crowd with his poem in Gaofu. However, he did not believe that such a young boy could write such a meaningful poem.
"I think that Jiang Hu is just a person with a false reputation. Who here has seen him with his own eyes and personally experienced his talent? I think those poems are where the eldest princess is. She made him famous for her apprentice.
Follow the script.”
Many talented people in Juxian Hall are discussing the poems of Jiang Hu, the disciple of the eldest princess, and think that this poem: There are creepers in the wild is definitely not written by a young man, but most likely by the eldest princess.
"Brother Yan's words hit the mark. I also think that Jiang Hu's so-called talent is not worthy of his name. Think about it, how could a person with such talent be unknown? He is said to be too ugly to go out and meet people.
I never thought that after becoming a disciple of the eldest princess, I would become famous instantly. This makes no sense."
"yes--"
"I knew it wasn't him!"
Others agreed one after another.
"And the young man's ambition must have been to copy the eldest princess's quotations. Maybe it was the eldest princess who warned him and then said it to the outside world, which caused such a big sensation."
"The eldest princess's indifference to fame and wealth is admirable, but her apprentice is a young man who is inexperienced in the world. Alas, it's really..."
"Hahaha, I heard that he still doesn't do it, hahaha..."
Everyone laughed when they heard this,
In recent years, this child has become famous. Originally, she received mixed reviews, but suddenly she became infamous for some unknown reason. Everyone followed suit and started to boo, seriously suspecting that Jiang Hu became famous through Lingzhu's poems. After all, Lingzhu was once a famous talented woman in the capital, but
She focused on spiritual practice and did not develop too much in literature and art.
Some of them knew the reason. It was rumored that Prime Minister Gao Ping once invited the eldest princess to join Wenzong, but was ruthlessly rejected. This was tantamount to a slap in the face of the entire Wenzong.
Gao Feng, as the son of Gao Ping, was also grudged against him.
He can't mess with the eldest princess, but the eldest princess's apprentice can always say something. And this is the general view of the literati nowadays. He just goes along with the trend.
There are also several highly respected scholars in the Juxian Hall. These people are also very surprised by the eldest princess's apprentice, this new trend-setting person. Some of them are currently holding a wait-and-see attitude, but some have already stood in line to denounce him.
Although I can't cause any blow to him, I can still show my attitude and stand with most of the literati in Juxian Hall.
"It is understandable that young people like to pursue fame and fortune, but exaggerating it under the guise of the eldest princess's poems has indeed lost the face of us scholars. There is no need to be angry. If there is a chance, I will ruin her reputation."
The speaker was an old man with white beard and white hair. He had a childish face and white clothes. He looked like an immortal.
This person is the great Confucian Zhang Ting.
Zhang Ting has a high prestige in Fire Tide. His long-term practice of the Way of Wenmo has given him a huge power of runes in his body. His cultivation is unfathomable. He has students all over the Fire Tide Kingdom. Gao Fu was once his student.
When he learned that Jiang Hu had abducted Gao Lan'er, the eldest daughter of his student Gao Fu, through a poem, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep for several days.
He also knew Gao Lan'er. She had been a genius and good girl since she was a child. Unexpectedly, she was abducted by a poem. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but be shocked and beat his chest.
I can only blame the girl's youth and ignorance, and the Jianghu traitor's cunning and sophistry.
If there is a chance, Zhang Ting would not mind teaching this eldest princess' apprentice a lesson.
"There is no need for Mr. Zhang to take action. There is no need to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. If he dares to appear in front of us, his reputation will be ruined." Several literati were filled with indignation and stood up and shouted, as if the young man had killed their whole family.
Jiang Hu didn't know at this time,
His name has already spread in the imperial capital, and he just rests in peace and recuperates. When Lingzhu came back, he immediately confessed to her about the transaction with the prince, and honestly took out all the treasures and pushed one of the most precious high-level magic weapons to her.
At the front, flattery is written on his face.
"Master, this is for you. I hope you won't be angry with my disciple..."
Looking at these priceless treasures, Lingzhu sighed softly.
He just said that it was the prince's choice and let him rest in peace, but did not accept his disciple's magic weapon.
After saying that, she looked at her good apprentice on the hospital bed in a daze. The girl felt that she should cultivate this senior brother with low strength.
After all, this apprentice has made many enemies and has become a target in the Imperial Prefecture. He has been regarded as a thorn in the flesh by many people, and even the prince often wants to take his life.
Although she felt big-headed, she was also a little proud of him, as if he was unique enough to be worthy of being her disciple.
After all, she is a troublemaker herself.
"Master, don't look at me like that, I...I don't have gold in my face." Jiang Hu wanted to say: I was so scared, but I still swallowed the words.
"You should take good care of what the prince gave you. Boxing is an excellent boxing method. Learning this boxing can help you strengthen your body. However, this magic weapon requires extremely deep cultivation to control. You are still young and your cultivation is
Shang Qian, I'm afraid you won't be able to grasp it."
Jiang Hu twitched his lips, history is really a mirror.
In ancient times, there was the friendship between Pan and Ga, and now there is the friendship between Linghu and his teacher.
The elders really do think about the younger ones.
"But this skill can be practiced..." She spoke leisurely again, her thoughts going nowhere.
Jiang Hu also knows that activating superior magic weapons requires huge force. With his meager skills, he cannot activate these magic weapons. These things can only be learned after his cultivation progresses.
Fortunately, there is a superior technique that can be practiced.
The technique is called Meteor Fist. As the name suggests, the fist wind is like a meteor falling to the ground, and the explosive force is very powerful.
"Disciple, I know. Thank you, Master, for reminding me."
Lingzhu still stared at Jiang Hu, as if he had something to say. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.
"I am now helping you create a stream of original energy and thunder energy in the Dan Yuan, but it may be a little dangerous. You..."
"Master, wealth can be found in danger! This disciple will never let down Master's hope!"
Before Lingzhu could finish speaking, Jiang Hu accepted it. He knew that if others had an extra source of energy, their cultivation would be slowed down and they would need to spend twice as much time practicing as ordinary people.
But, he is different!
I am a martial arts wizard with amazing bones and a unique talent!
Practicing the two forces of water and fire at the same time,
Not only will it not extend his practice time, nor will it slow down his practice speed, but it will also shorten his practice time and speed up the efficiency of the original energy in his body.
so,
If you have three strands of original energy, the original energy will run at a higher speed, and your cultivation speed will be accelerated several times. By then, the original energy in your body will definitely be deeper than it is now, and your cultivation will follow the original energy.
As the tide deepens, the tide lifts all boats.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hu was slightly excited. He looked at the girl with extremely hot eyes and couldn't help but licked his lips and swallowed.
If there are people with impure thoughts who see the boy's eagerness when facing a girl, they will definitely think that the boy is a pervert!
It's just that the girl is very innocent and can't think of these strange things for the time being.
