The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 167 The Oiran Club ([-])
"You little girl, you are so glib!"

The corners of Shen Yan's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile.

"What the servant girl said is the truth, the young lady has to show the momentum to win the championship!"

Tuan'er has served Shen Yan for many years, so naturally he only thinks about Shen Yan.What touched her the most was that Shen Yan did not treat her as a slave, but as a sister.

If Shen Yan was really redeemed by the guardian eunuch Liu Wen, Tuan'er would definitely be transferred by the bustard to other singing girls to continue to be a maid.

But a good-tempered singing girl like Shen Yan can't be found in the whole city of Hangzhou with lanterns on.Even out of selfishness, Tuan'er didn't want Shen Yan to be redeemed by the old eunuch.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

Shen Yan is also reluctant to part with Tuan'er, and she will definitely go all out for this oiran meeting.

In the past, the Oiran Club was held on a painting boat, but now it is suddenly changed to the shore, which is quite uncomfortable.

But this also has an advantage, that is, more scholars can witness the grand occasion of the Oiran Club up close.Otherwise, if it is held on a painting boat like in the past, the people who can go on the painting boat to swim with the beauty are the sons of wealthy families with prominent backgrounds, and there are no children from poor families, ordinary scholars.

The promenade by the lake was already full of scholars, Xie Shen and a group of Yu Yao scholars were among them.

Looking at the many beauties in the pavilion not far away, Xie Shen just shook his head.

This is a typical layman giving advice to experts. If eunuch Liu wants to come to the oiran society to have an eye-satisfaction, let it go, but he still wants to give advice and change the form of the oiran society.

Holding the oiran party on the shore can indeed attract more attention, but it is also more likely to cause trouble.

There are so many people, if something unexpected happens, won't the good mood of the night be disturbed?

In comparison, Xie Shen still prefers the form of painting boat tours on the lake, but the possibility of ordinary scholars participating in this way is less.

The promenade is not far from the pavilion where all the singing girls are sitting, Xie Shen can clearly see Lady Shen doing her makeup in front of the bronze mirror.I hope she can remember the poems she wrote down well. It is this poem that can really determine who the oiran belongs to.

Just when Xie Shen was feeling lost, he suddenly heard a burst of yelling, many scholars were scolded by Bing Yong while rushing towards the long corridor.Xie Shen looked for the sound and saw a group of people waiting for Haohao Tangtang to go towards the pavilion.

There is a sedan chair in the middle, the decoration is extremely extravagant, Xie Shen guessed that the person in the sedan chair is Liu Wen, the guarding eunuch.

Xie Shen did not understand Liu Wen's approach.

Could it be that eunuch Liu really came here for eye addiction?

The sedan chair alighted beside the pavilion, and Liu Wen, who was dressed in casual robes, walked out slowly with the help of his servants, looked around and hummed, "Is everyone here?"

"If you go back to Mr. Liu, it's all here!"

"Then let's get started!"

Eunuch Liu was obviously a little impatient, and said with a wave of his hand.

When eunuch Liu spoke, it was the law of heaven, and the supervisor of the Oiran Society said in unison: "Follow Liu Gong's order!"

All of a sudden, silk and bamboo orchestras played everywhere, and even fireworks were set off.

The banks of the West Lake were lit up like daylight by fireworks, and the scholars applauded one after another.

Scholars are like this, just a moment ago they were jumping and scolding their mothers, as long as you give them a little bit of favor, they will immediately change their faces and remember you.

Amidst the applause, the oiran meeting officially started.

This time, the oiran club attendees are all well-known singing girls from Hangzhou Prefecture, each with their own unique skills.Some are good at singing and dancing, some are eloquent, some are good-looking, and some are proficient in rhythm.

However, the Oiran will be a comprehensive competition, and it cannot be judged by the strength of a single skill.

Therefore, all the singing girls showed their talents one by one according to the regulations.

Because Xie Shen and the others came early, they seized the favorable terrain, and now they can clearly see every move of the beauty in the pavilion.

These singing girls are really proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although they may not reach the top level, it is still very easy to kill [-]% of the women in seconds.

The first few rounds were nothing more than playing the piano, dancing and singing.What the beauties eat is this bowl of rice, so naturally they come at their fingertips.

But if everyone is strong, it is difficult to distinguish the superior.

After a few rounds, Mrs. Shen from Shaoyaoju, Mrs. Su from Hongxiutian, and Mrs. Liu from Ruoshuiju are the most outstanding.

The next round is the highlight, and that is poetry.

The content is determined long ago, and the poems written must express boudoir grievances.This is also in line with the identity of a singing girl, which is quite decent.

Most of the singing girls have good literary talents, because they are in contact with high-end guests like scholars and young masters. If they don't understand poetry, they can talk about a common language.

Of course, as far as poetry is concerned, the level gap between beauties is reflected.Some singing girls only know a little about poetry, and the poems they make are not much better than doggerel.

But the poems written by some beauties are even praised by Bi Minghui, a great talent in this province.

Therefore, the easiest round for the Oiran Club to widen the gap is poetry.

Mrs. Liu from Ruoshuiju appeared first, and the song "Yu Linling" was off to a good start.

Many scholars praised Mrs. Liu for her outstanding literary talents.

Afterwards, Hongxiutian's top card Su Xiaoniang who appeared on the stage did not show any weakness at all, and returned the favor with a song "Su Mu Zhe".

As for the poems written by other singing girls, there is still a clear gap compared with these two.Everyone can also see that if Mrs. Shen of Shaoyaoju can't catch up with others later, the oiran will probably come from these two in the end.

Shen Yan was the last to appear on the stage, so the pressure was naturally self-evident.

She Shi Shiran walked to the middle of the pavilion, first saluted the eunuch Liu at the head, and then chanted: "The spring is light, the red resentment covers the double rings. The light rain is among the flowers, and the day is idle. Silently, the red tears are played .In decline, sweet sales light dream also.

Leaning on the painting screen and thinking about the past, it is nothing, just a word of lovesickness.I remember weeping willows, flowering branches, and butterflies all over the garden at that time. "

After reciting this poem, Shen Yan did not go back to the seat directly, but bowed to Eunuch Liu: "I wonder what Mr. Liu thinks of this poem?"

Eunuch Liu frowned slightly, lost in thought.

As an eunuch who often works by His Majesty's side, he is not only literate, but also has good literary skills.This basic appreciation of poetry is still there.

The details of Shen Niangzi's poem can be seen in the skill, and the sentence "Remember the time, weeping willows, flower branches, and butterflies in the garden" is even more magical.

From this word, Liu Wen heard the implication of Mrs. Shen.Does this little girl already have someone in her heart?But how could he change his mind just because Mrs. Shen complained about being entrusted by others.

As for the song itself, it's really good.Liu Wenzheng was about to say some words of praise and promote Shen Yan as the oiran.But after thinking about it, wouldn't it be too high-profile for him to redeem Shen Yan again?

Just when Eunuch Liu was hesitating, a handsome young man came to the pavilion at some time and bowed to him.

Eunuch Liu took a closer look, isn't this young man Xie Shen who was greeted by Chen Fangyin, the school official at the governor's yamen banquet that day?
