Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1457, Listening to Yuxuan Poetry Club
The three-year imperial examinations made the entire capital more prosperous and lively. Talented scholars from all corners of the country can be seen gathering in twos and threes everywhere, chatting, reciting poems and enjoying the moon, and splashing ink, which aroused great applause. Sounds, businesses large and small in the capital, especially the brothel Chu Guan, which has been popular with romantic and talented scholars since ancient times, are naturally indispensable to continue this limelight and hold various poetry parties.

It's called making friends with poetry, but in fact it's just to gain popularity and increase one's popularity so that you can sell it at a good price.

In this era when brothels and Chu houses can be legally opened, conventional methods are already difficult to attract high-ranking guests. Only a collection of talented scholars and beauties, poetry, songs, etc. can make those big money owners spend a lot of money.

Ting Yuxuan is considered to be the leader in the Qinglou Chuguan in the capital. Even if you go to Ting Yuxuan for a cup of tea, you will need a few taels of silver. As for wanting to find a girl from Ting Yuxuan to accompany you If you drink some wine, sing or something together, the price will be really expensive, often tens or hundreds of taels of silver.

If you have a girl you like and want to be romantic once, Ting Yuxuan will tell you that the girls here are all performers but not their bodies. If you don’t spend a certain number of times and amount of money here, you can’t even think about going to Magpie Bridge with the girls here.

The three-year science and technology examination has naturally become a good opportunity for Ting Yuxuan to improve his skills. The boss of Ting Yuxuan also spent a lot of money to invite talents who came to the capital to take the imperial examination to participate in poetry competitions here. meeting.

Participating in the poetry meeting does not require any money, but it is not easy to get in. There is a test at the door. You can match the pairs. To enter, of course, you can also write poems, paint pictures, etc., as long as you can get by.

Other than that, there is no other way, otherwise, even if you are rich and spend a lot of money, sorry, you will not be able to enter the gate of Ting Yuxuan.

There is no doubt that this is absolutely appropriate to play routines and forced patterns. It is obviously a dirty place, but it is mixed with poetry and songs, which will make you absolutely full of forced patterns. If there is no ink in your stomach , You can't get in even if you have money.

However, people in this era love this tune. Whether they are literati or those rich local tyrants, they are all flocking to it. Money to buy a doggerel mixed in.

As for the talented scholars who came to take the imperial examination, they all naturally looked arrogant and walked out of the pace of being disrespected by their relatives.

They do have this proud capital.

Those who can come to participate in the general examination are all masters who have passed the provincial examination. Given the current situation in Ming Dynasty, these masters can directly become officials, and they all start with seventh rank.

Of course, if you can pass the examination, you will be a Jinshi, which is even more serious. The future is boundless, maybe in the future, you will be able to dominate the world, hold the world in your hands, and follow your words.

Whether it is now or in the future, these talents who come to the capital to take the exam are the most shining people in this era, so they are naturally very arrogant.

"Old Liu~Old Liu, hurry up, hurry up~"

At the door of Ting Yuxuan, Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed like a talented scholar, was walking towards Ting Yuxuan in a hurry, followed by the helpless Liu Jin.

It was promised to inspect the Mercedes-Benz bicycle factory, but Zhu Houzhao didn't know where he heard that there was a poetry meeting at Ting Yuxuan, so he was dragged to Ting Yuxuan.

If I am a dignified Minister of the Ministry of Officials, if people know that I have come to this place of fireworks, even if nothing happened, I will probably be smeared with a few stains.

Although it has been a good story since ancient times that talented people and beautiful people are romantic and unrestrained, and since ancient times talented people like to hang out in places of fireworks, and even take pride in it, but Liu Jin from later generations still thinks that it is best not to go to such places.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of Ting Yuxuan, but were stopped by the guy at the door.

"Both young masters, it's easy to get in, as long as you can draw a pair at random, or guess a word puzzle, or write a poem, draw a picture, etc., you can get in if you do any of them. .”

The clerk looked at Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin. Both of them were dressed as scholars and talented scholars. They had jade hairpins on their heads, jade belts and jade pendants around their waists, and expensive watches on their wrists. They were dressed in silk green shirts. This was absolutely appropriate. The noble son of a wealthy family.

"Isn't it just a brothel? We still play with these elegant things. It's not like we don't have money. Why don't we go in?"

Next to it, many people who were stopped expressed their dissatisfaction extremely. These people were all dressed in rich and noble clothes. Some even wore thick gold necklaces and several gold and jade rings on their hands. A nouveau riche breath came oncoming.

Those who dare to come to listen to Yuxuan's consumption are naturally rich, and they are not short of money.

I heard that there is a poetry meeting here in Yuxuan, and at the same time, there is a beauty pageant and talent contest, which makes many people feel itchy.

But now he couldn't even get in the door, so he was naturally very angry.

"Everyone, everyone~"

"It's not that everyone is not allowed to go in. It's just that this time it's a poetry meeting, and we will meet friends through literature. There are talented people from all corners of the world who have come to take the exam. If you don't have any literary talent, it may be difficult to play if you go in."

The guy at the door was very arrogant. Although what he said was very tactful, the meaning was very clear. If you don't have any ink, don't go in and make a fool of yourself. Otherwise, you will be the one who makes a fool of yourself.

What's more, the people inside are all talented people, and the future officials and lords are not comparable to you upstarts with some money.

Hearing this guy's words, these wealthy local tyrants were very helpless, they could only watch helplessly as the gifted scholars who came in groups of three or four easily entered with a little bit of literary talent.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao naturally dealt with this small game very easily, and soon entered the Ting Yuxuan.

Tingyuxuan occupies a very large area, and there are many yards inside. The style is the style of Jiangnan gardens. The beautiful poems left by talented scholars and so on.

It gives people the feeling that this place is full of wit and literati, without the rouge atmosphere of brothels and Chuguan, but even the maids who serve people can be seen everywhere, all of them are well-dressed, both in figure and appearance. This makes people full of infinite expectations and imaginations about the girls here.

Led by the servant girl, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao also came to a large courtyard built around a lake. This courtyard occupies a large area, with a large lake in the middle and an island in the center of the island There is an attic, the attic is decorated with light gauze, the breeze blows, the gauze is flying, you can see a beautiful woman playing the piano on the attic, and three or five talented people are drinking wine, shaking their heads and listening to the sound of the piano.

Except for the attic on the island in the middle of the lake, there are small pavilions around the lake, and there are also other gardens next to the small pavilions. Beside each small pavilion, there are many talented people who seem to be thinking hard.

The one who came up with it happily walked to the next small pavilion, but didn't answer, but could only go to the other garden next to it.

"I really know how to play!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing immediately.

Carefully counting the small pavilions surrounding the small lake, there are actually nine, which means that you have to pass through nine passes before you can finally be eligible to go to the attic on the island in the middle of the lake to listen to songs. The most popular oiran who came out.

Even if these talents are outstanding from all corners of the country, it is estimated that there are very few talents who can go to the attic of Huxin Island in the end. The other girls chatted about their hearts.

"No fun~"

Zhu Houzhao, who was on the side, saw the scene in front of him, and immediately curled his lips and said.

Zhu Houzhao, although he is the prince, his literary talents are probably not as good as ordinary scholars. If he wants to go to the attic of Huxin Island to listen to music and see Yuxuan's top card, it seems that there is no such thing at all. possible.

You must know that in the Nine Paths Pavilion, there are not only difficult problems set by listening to Yuxuan's words, but in the back, there are also difficult problems set by the talented scholars who came to participate in this poetry meeting.

You have to be proficient in almost everything, such as matching pairs, guessing crossword puzzles, writing poems and prose, drawing pictures and so on.

As a literati, you can play tricks on everything, with a flowing cup of water and a romantic celebrity. If you don’t have any ink, you really can’t do it.

"These two must be candidates for the East List~"

"It must be. Candidates on the Dongbang list, everyone knows that they don't have much ink in their stomachs, and they are able to take the exam only by the court's grace. If they are placed in our Jiangnan area, they may not even pass the exam as a scholar." .”

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao stood still, but aroused contempt for a while. A few talented scholars cast contemptuous glances when they heard what Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao said. At the same time, they also concluded that Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao were candidates for the Eastern List.

"What's wrong with the candidates in Dongbang?"

At this time, before Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao could answer, a group of people dressed as talented scholars came over, and they immediately became extremely angry when they heard the words of several Jiangnan talented scholars.

When Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao heard this, they quickly looked over and saw that although these talented scholars were wearing long gowns and long sleeves, their appearance was very different from those of the Ming Dynasty. Many people could tell at a glance that they were not Han, but from Talents of minority tribes from all over the Ming Dynasty.

　Now if it can be legal, will there be various ways to play it?
