Chapter 11 The Inside Story

The incident of beating a guest in his own venue will definitely be reported to the backstage soon.

After hearing this, the girl in the backstage nodded, quickly went upstairs, and came to the small attic with a simple and elegant decoration on the second floor of the back hall.

Here, a beauty is sitting in front of a bronze mirror and being dressed up by a maid. She is dressed in lilac clothes, with graceful figure, beautiful appearance, fair skin than snow, and a red face, like an egg that has just been peeled. Her eyes are watery, her eyelashes are long and curled, her nose is high, her cherry-like lips, and her black and smooth hair is scattered behind her back. She is casually matched with some silver or jade hair to add a few charming charm.

This beautiful woman is the top courtesan of Nian Yunxuan, Lian Nishang. She seems to be a cold and arrogant fairy, which makes people dare to see from afar and not play with her.

The maid handed the wooden comb in her hand to her. She took it, gently tied her hair up and placed it behind her head.

At this moment, a hurried footsteps came.

The maid saluted respectfully: "Miss."

Lian Nishang raised her head proudly and looked at the door. When she saw the maid's impatient appearance, she immediately made her look unhappy: "What's the matter?"

The maid owed a gift and hurriedly told all the things that happened in the Narcissus Hall.

Hearing this, the seemingly noble courtesan girl was very dissatisfied and said angrily: "What is Yang Jinhai's son, who dares to be so arrogant. When I hit someone like me, wouldn't I give face to this girl? Humph!"

The maid bowed slightly and reported again: "Today, Mr. Yang brought 1,000 taels of silver to buy the banquet with the lady tonight. I think he should have hit people because of this!"

Lian Nishang sneered and cursed: What a fool. Just because his father is the celebrity of the Crown Prince, he dares to be so arrogant? But he is so generous, which is interesting. It seems that Yang Bao is really rich. Since that's the case, just let him tonight. One thousand taels are not a small amount, so it's okay to have two drinks with him."

"Why are the girl saying it?... People are stupid and have a lot of money! Hehe." The maid next to her added with a giggle, which immediately made Lian Nishang smile: "Hehe, what is a little Yang Bao? The man I am looking for must be a noble person!"

"Hehe, with the girl's appearance, even if you are descended from the Prince's Palace, your eyes will be straight!"

"Haha." Lian Nishang smiled and said complacently: "He is the best, but since he already has Xiao Guodong's access, that's not bad!"

The maid Yin Qing said, "The girl and Xiao Guodong are born together!"

But I didn't expect that Lian Nishang gave her a blank look and almost scared the girl. A hint of pride popped out of the corner of Nian Yunxuan's courtesan's mouth, and his eyes also became brighter.

"Give me instructions, I will give me a thousand for the price tonight!"

"Ah? Then, Yang Bao only has one thousand taels..."

"Hmph, if he doesn't have money, he will tell him to get out. Could it be that he will kill my guests? Isn't it money?"

All the girls bowed and continued to work in an orderly manner.

...

In the Narcissus Hall, waiting for the courtesan to appear during the period before the appearance of the courtesan was some interesting programs.

In the lively scene, people shouted and chatted one after another, and had a lot of fun.

Compared with those entertainment programs, the entertainment programs in Nian Yunxuan are a bit different.

It was suggested by several scholars that they should compete to learn, and to write poems to attract the attention of the courtesans present.

In the eyes of Zhao Xiaonian and Li Xiuyun, this kind of thing is simply silly cute and naive, but for those poor scholars, it is a beautiful idea.

Of course, it is not a beautiful idea.

Sometimes there are courtesans who respond to such talented scholars, but whether their motivation is really impressed by the scholar's poems is another matter.

Li Xiuyun is a man who often walks by the river and understands this matter better. At this moment, he is bored and talks about this matter to Zhao Xiaonian.

In fact, brothels are also an extremely competitive industry.

In brothels, there are also different levels. The courtesans in some places can earn thousands of taels overnight, while others are only worth a few taels. These women all have one face and one butt. Although they are true to each other, there is no bad girl who can make a living in the capital, but it is not easy to make a name for herself in the capital.

There are so many girls, but there are only a few stages, and there are only one guest officer every night. How difficult is it to make a name for yourself?

Therefore, all kinds of tricks came. Some girls rely on their talents in poetry and books to attract scholars. Although they cannot make money in the short term, they can gain a good reputation. In addition, those scholars also show off to attract the attention of high-ranking officials in this place where high-ranking officials often go, become a disciple, and write for others, and so on!

Therefore, in this kind of place, it is a good place for them to stand out at this moment.

Zhao Xiaonian frowned and said, "Aren't the scholars here all unemployed and have good materials?"

He smiled and invited tea. At this moment, he lost his previous anger and had forgotten what happened to Yang Bao just now. While the hall was busy and everyone was participating in the poetry meeting, no one paid attention to the remote corner. Li Xiuyun sat close to him and leaned against Zhao Xiaonian and said to his ears: "In the places in the capital, whether it is a martial arts master or a top scholar in the liberal arts, if you want to make a name for yourself, you not only need to rely on your skills, but also have some skills!"

After hearing what he said, Zhao Xiaonian agreed, but he still asked carefully: "What are the ways?"

At first, this was impossible to say, especially the ministers could not say to the emperor, but Li Xiuyun did not have such obstacles at this moment, and even told him all the channels for attracting talents in the capital.

As the saying goes, if you want to climb a ladder, you need to have this climbing ladder. Even if you are capable, it is not that easy to make a name in the capital. Although there are enrollment exams every year, there are imperial examinations almost every year, and there are even two or three additional imperial examinations in some years. However, let alone those poor scholars, even if they have conditions, as long as they have no way, it will be useless.

At first, Zhao Xiaonian was confused, but Li Xiuyun gave him a name without hesitation, which made Zhao Xiaonian feel defeated. He didn't say anything for a long time, so he gave him a thumbs up, nodded in contempt and sighed!

Su Qingwen.

That's right.

Some things are not something that people can control, just like Zhao Xiaonian himself has done such things.

Su Qingwen is the son of his godfather Su Ren. When he was Enko, Zhao Xiaonian directly called him a godfather, which was obvious.

Those adults were all human spirits in the officialdom, roundworms under the emperor's feet, and abnormal nerve sensitivity, and there was no preparation. They directly named Su Qingwen a top scorer!

That's it,

There is no way, are those candidates who come to participate in the imperial examination just accompanying those big names through the motions...
