Those elegant literati, gentry and wise people all sat on the boat, waiting for the boat to come out.
Finally, the fun begins.
When the boats came out one after another, there was a sudden burst of color and thunder, and everyone cheered and cheered for the boats they were familiar with. The pretty ladies standing on the boats were all dressed up and their eyes were flashing.
This oiran convention not only has to sort out the "top pick", "second pick", and "top pick", but there is also an examiner.
The origins of these four examiners are all extraordinary. They are either local talents or retired officials, and the leader of the examiners is surprisingly Li Dianruo, the wine minister of the Imperial Academy of Nanjing.
Thinking of the Imperial Academy's wine ceremony, Ding Yunyi suddenly thought of He Fengsheng, who had given him great help when he was in Xinyang. Where is he now?
All those participating in the oiran convention arrived, and then each of them showed off their talents.
Ding Yunyi suddenly discovered how similar this oiran convention was to the talent show of his time. Those who played the pipa played the pipa, and those who sang songs sang. Anyway, there are as many skills as you can show here. Could it be that the talent show originated from this oiran convention?
evolved?
However, all the women participating in this oiran convention are extremely beautiful and beautiful.
The instruments were played well and the music was sung so well that everyone on the flower boat was mesmerized. When the last woman finished playing, the Qinhuai River was full of colorful sounds.
I thought there would be no one left, but suddenly someone cheered: "The people from Lanshe are coming, the people from Lanshe are coming."
This shout attracted everyone's attention. They stood up one by one, put their feet on their feet and looked forward, only to see a boat approaching slowly.
Suddenly, there was another cheer: "It's really from Lanshe, Gu Hengbo and Wang Weibo are here!"
Such excitement and cheering was no less than meeting one’s idol.
Gu Hengbo? Wang Weibo? Ding Yunyi's heart moved.
Gu Hengbo's real name is Gu Mei. His courtesy name is Meisheng, also known as Gu Mei, and his nickname is Hengbo. He is one of the famous "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" in the future. As for Wang Weibo, his name is Wang Yue. He is also called Wang Yuesheng. Some people say that he is
The most beautiful woman in the Ming Dynasty, although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to illustrate her beauty.
"Yue Youhuiyan, who is good at grooming herself, has a slim body and erect body, white teeth and bright eyes, is extremely charming, and is famous among the public officials." Later generations said that this was the birth of Wang Yue.
"The prostitutes in Zhushi, Nanjing. They are ashamed to be with each other. Wang Yue was born in Zhushi, and it has been unparalleled for thirty years in Quzhong. Her complexion is like an orchid blooming for the first time, her body is delicate, her slender toes are like red water caltrops. She is so sincere.
The noble man is a man of few words and laughs, but the female brother is an idle guest. He is cunning and cunning in many ways, making fun and insults, but he cannot be charming." This is also said about Wang Yue.
The famous girl in Quzhong looked down on Zhu Shiji, but Wang Yue was born in Zhushi. And in Quzhong, no one could compare to her thirty years before and thirty years after her. This evaluation is quite high.
As for this Wang Yue, in addition to her outstanding appearance, her talents were not inferior to those of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, or even better.
As for Gu Mei Gu Hengbo, he is even more famous.
Gu Hengbo was well versed in literature and history, and was good at poetry. He was good at painting orchids. At the beginning of this year, he joined Li Xiangjun, Wang Yue and others in the "Orchid Society" organized by Yangzhou celebrity Zheng Yuanxun in Nanjing. People at that time followed his past fame for his painting style.
The prostitute Ma Shouzhen. However, her beauty surpassed Ma Shouzhen's and she was ranked first in Nanqu.
The so-called Nanqu refers to the famous prostitutes in Jiangnan who are prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River.
He was also good at music and was good at music. Gu Hengbo lived in the Meiling Tower, where he had "embroidered windows, toothpicks and jade scrolls, and piled up several cases; Yao Qin and Jinse, furnishings on the left and right, cigarette smoke lingering, and Martin-like eaves." People at the time jokingly called it "Milou."
”.
"Later, some people nicknamed "Milou" as "Mei Tower". The founder of the figurines, Yu Huai, was a talented person from the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, he was deeply in love with Gu Hengbo. He took his words as a compliment, referring to the ingenious construction and unique layout of "Mei Tower".
It looks like a fairyland. As soon as this reputation came out, it spread like wildfire and was widely used.
The most amazing thing about Gu Hengbo's beauty in the eyebrow building is her eyebrows. Those eyes are so full of autumn water that they seem to be filled with tears when she shakes them. As soon as men see her eyes, their souls are attracted.
I wish I could turn into a particle of dust and sand or something and jump in and drown in those soft waves, that would be so satisfying!
Words like "like distant mountains holding daisies" are not enough to describe the beauty in those eyes. Others say the eyes speak, but Gu Hengbo can only do that. Those two willow-leaf eyes dance up and down, which is enough to express feelings.
Expression. Because with such outstanding eyebrows, other features such as face like peach blossoms, bun like dark clouds, waist like weak willow, etc. are not very important.
Gu Hengbo has a bold and uninhibited personality, with a masculine style. He is more similar to Liu Rushi among the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai. At that time, people used to call him "brother Mei", which is quite similar to Liu Rushi calling himself "younger brother". But compared with Liu, he also
A bit more willful and cynical.
Ding Yunyi never dreamed that he would meet Gu Hengbo and Wang Yue here. Where is Li Xiangjun? Where is Li Xiangjun?
Ah, Li Xiangjun is only thirteen or fourteen years old now. Although he is already famous in Nanjing, he is still not old enough to "comb his hair", right?
Well, I have to take action as soon as possible to prevent Li Xiangjun from being plucked by that pretty boy named Hou Fangyu.
There, Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi were watching intently, but how could they think that Mr. Ding Yunyi and Ding beside them were having these dirty thoughts in their hearts?
While Ding Yunyi was thinking wildly, he looked towards the boat. When he looked carefully, he really saw two peerless beauties.
The beauty of Gu Hengbo and Wang Yue was not only slightly better than that of their concubine Han Xiaoxiao, but they were even comparable to Chen Yuanyuan.
Flowers must not be placed on cow dung. Ding Yunyi made this "ambition" immediately.
The arrival of Gu Hengbo and Wang Yue caused a sensation in the whole audience, and there were endless cheers. The examiner Li Dianruo stood up and laughed: "How come Gu Hengbo and Wang Weibo are so lucky to be here? This makes Qinhuai River more glorious!"
Gu Hengbo stood on the boat and said with a smile: "I came here with Yuesheng, and I just happened to see the beautiful scenery on the Qinhuai River."
Gu Hengbo and Wang Yue's arrival eclipsed all the beauties. Wang Yue, with a charming smile on her face, stood on the boat. She didn't need to show anything, and there was no suspense about the choice of the oiran.
But for the sake of fairness, Wang Yue still played a song, and the song was filled with thunderous and colorful sounds.
The other women on the boat were both envious and jealous.
When it came time to give out gold, silver and jewels to the person of their choice in order to win her the role of courtesan, all the gentry and talented people showed off their talents one by one, and they had everything they could offer.
Seeing that Wang Yue was about to monopolize the claw head, suddenly a person on a flower boat called out: "Send Shen Baoer of Diaohualou a jade crane to pick a piece."
As soon as this jade crane was delivered to the examiner's hands, it immediately aroused an exclamation of surprise.
The crane, which is so transparent and carved from a single piece of jade, is truly priceless. Once this collection is released, all other collections will be eclipsed.
Zhang Pu glanced at that, and suddenly snorted coldly in his nose: "So it's him."
"Who is that?" Ding Yunyi asked curiously.
Qian Qianyi said hurriedly: "Mr. Ding doesn't recognize him, but he is Ruan Dacheng."
Ruan Dacheng? Ding Yunyi sneered again and again, "Well, I met the "famous" traitors Qian Qianyi and Gong Dingzi today, but I didn't expect to see Ruan Dacheng again.
Ruan Dacheng was promoted to Shizhong by a traveler at the beginning of Tianqi, but soon returned to his hometown due to worries. Ruan Dacheng was once registered in Donglin and was a disciple of Gao Panlong. Zuo Guangdou, a fellow villager in Donglin, was the leader of Donglin in Xiansi and was also Ruan Dacheng's self-respecting friend.
.
He played a leading role in the "struggle" to overthrow the non-Donglin Pavilion veteran Shi Jikai and others introduced by Fang Congzhe. Therefore, he was listed as the backbone of Donglin and was nicknamed "No Block" in "Dianjiang Lu of Donglin".
In the spring of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, there were vacancies in the civil service department. Zuo Guangdou notified Dacheng to come to Beijing to fill the gap. However, a group of people including **
"In the near future, Dacheng is not available", and they planned to use another disciple of Gao - Wei Dazhong, who was also a general of Donglin. After some internal transactions, when Dacheng arrived in Beijing, **xing and his group asked him to replace him.
In the Engineering Department, the Civil Service Department ranked first, while in the Engineering Department, it was the last. According to seniority, it was Ruan Dacheng who should have been replaced in the Civil Service Department. At this time, Wei Zhongxian appeared, and he allowed Ruan Dacheng to get his wish.
However, Ruan Dacheng did not serve as an official for long. The terrible pressure from the Donglin Party forced him to abandon his official position and flee back to his hometown less than a month after taking office. From then on, Ruan Dacheng broke with the Donglin Party.
When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he was summoned to the capital as Taichang Shaoqing. He knew that he was from the Donglin Party, and now he had become a role model for anti-Donglin Party. It was probably difficult to please both sides, so he acted very carefully. For a period of time, he was very cautious.
Later, he returned to his hometown and planned to wait and see the situation.
In the second year of Chongzhen, the Wei Party was defeated. He wrote a letter pointing out that the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party were both "party-affiliated eunuchs" and should be dismissed together. Ruan Dacheng prepared two different memorials and sent them to his friend Yang Weiyuan in Beijing. One
Specially impeaching Cui, the eunuch of Wei. The second point is "based on the calculation of the seven years. It means that after the fourth year of the Apocalypse, those who disrupted the government were loyal and virtuous, and Yi Yi showed excellence. Four years ago, the disruptor Wang An, and Yi Yi
Dong Lin". However, because Yang Weiyuan was hostile to Dong Lin, he did not follow his instructions to "act by ear" and entered the second book. Then he went to Beijing to serve as Guanglu Qing. Chongzhen refused to listen, and as a result, he was dismissed from office and evacuated.
Anqing, Nanjing, recruited knights, talked about war and swordsmanship, and formed a literary society.
On the way, he wanted to make peace with Fushe and Donglin, so when Zhang Pu, the leader of Fushe, was campaigning for the restoration of his master Zhou Yanru, he generously helped and expressed his willingness to return to Donglin. Donglin was opposed to Zhou Yanru repaying him. Therefore,
Chongzhen never became an official.
Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi, Gong Dingzi and other clowns all appeared one by one at this time.
Qian Qianyi laughed at the side and said: "Do you know why Ruan Dacheng supports that Shen Baoer? Last year, he brought a lot of money and wanted to see Wang Yue. He didn't want to be rejected by Wang Yue, so he went to ask to see Gu Mei, but Gu Mei
Hengbo was also disgusted with his personality and actually threw out the things he brought. Ruan Dacheng regarded it as a great shame and humiliation. This time, he was afraid that he had already received the news about Lanshe's arrival, so he held his breath and wanted to humiliate Gu Hengbo and Wang.
Moon."
As soon as Ruan Dacheng's jade crane came out, it outshone everyone else's selections. Ruan Dacheng was elated and Shen Baoer was so happy that he kept ogling Ruan Dacheng.
At this moment, the situation changed again. Gong Dingzi, who was on the boat next to him, suddenly stood up and sent someone to deliver a piece of treasure, but it was for Wang Yue.
This acquisition is even more extraordinary. It turns out to be a famous painting, Wu Yuanzhi's "Red Cliff Boating". This painting rivaled Ruan Dacheng's Jade Crane on the spot.
Qian Qianyi knew the romance in Nanjing very well: "Why do you think this is happening? Gong Dingzi just arrived in Nanjing and only met Gu Mei once by chance. He was so fascinated that he was thinking of ways to get close to Gu Mei. He was so What he did was just to use the opportunity of flattering Wang Yue to please Gu Mei. This 'Red Cliff Boating Picture' is his father's treasure, and he stole it somehow."
Seeing that the Oiran's situation was about to reverse again, Ruan Dacheng smiled nonchalantly and ordered someone to give Shen Bao'er some gifts. When the gifts came into the hands of the four examiners, the four examiners actually stood up. , exclaimed again and again.
This turned out to be the "Tiaoxi Poetry Scroll" personally written by Mi Fu, a great calligrapher and painter of the Northern Song Dynasty.
A priceless treasure, this is truly a priceless treasure. Is there anything else that can compare to Mi Fu's own handwriting?
Gong Dingzi was dumbfounded, but he had no choice. In terms of financial resources, he could never compare with Ruan Dacheng. There was no one like Ruan Dacheng, and there were many good things. And Gong Dingzi stole all my family heirlooms just to make the beauty smile. Is there anything else that can compete with it now?
When they heard that Mi Fu's handwriting had appeared, everyone on the Qinhuai River exclaimed and wanted to see it with their own eyes.
Gu Mei and Wang Yue's expressions darkened. They did not expect Ruan Dacheng to be like this. Although they did not pay special attention to the oiran, they would still be unwilling to lose like this.
However, is there anything else that can compare to what Ruan Dacheng gave me?
Qian Qianyi was cunning and cunning, and seemed to know what Ding Yunyi was thinking: "Mr. Ding, why don't you participate? If you can win, it will also win the beauty's favor."
"Me?" Ding Yunyi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What do I have that can compare to what Ruan Dacheng gave me?"
He really wanted to participate, but when he saw that everyone had brought out such expensive things, even though he had some gold jewelry, they were far behind compared to those things.
Qian Qianyi suddenly raised his lips towards Ding Yunyi's waist: "How about the sword on Mr. Ding's waist?"
When Ding Yunyi heard this, he immediately shook his head: "That's not possible. This is my protective sword. I rely on it to kill the enemy in battle. I must not give it away. What's more, how can a knife compare with those things they have?" ?”
If you want to use your "dragon tooth" brain, you don't have to think about it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Pu also smiled and said: "What if Mr. Ding just gives it a try? I forgive those women who dare not really take this sword. Even if they really don't return it, they will always keep it with me and help me." You can just go and get it back."
How could Ding Yunyi be willing to take this risk? What if they didn't pay back the money? So he shook his head and refused to agree. (To be continued)
