Chapter 125 Version 124
Chapter 125 124 Preaching
Wei Guangde's eyes were a little straight, and he stared at the slim figure in a daze.
The woman was wearing a blue green smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with flowers, mist and green grass, and a light blue green water thin smoke gauze.
Although it is common to have a hollow gold hairpin inserted diagonally on the horse bun, decorated with purple jade, tassels are sprinkled on the black hair, the eyes contain spring water, the clear waves flow, the mouth contains red dan, every frown and smile, touching the soul.
As the woman went on stage, she placed her right hand on her left hand towards the guest below the stage, clenched her fist, placed it on her abdomen, then bent her knees and said loud blessedly. Then she turned around and returned to the Yaoqin that had been arranged on the stage, and sat down slowly.
Apart from the sound of "Wanfu", the woman did not make any more noises, and after sitting down, she began to slightly adjust the strings.
This is naturally the Xiangning girl they talked about. From going on stage to playing the piano, I only saw my dress fluttering and looking at her.
Wei Guangde looked at the debugging of the string Xiangning, and felt a little confused.
"No wonder, it's really beautiful."
Wei Guangde, who came to his senses, said to Zhang Hongfu and the others.
"That's right, Nanchang Mansion wants Miss Xiangning to come over, but they don't want it, haha."
A young man next to him said with a smile.
"I have also followed a few people there in Nanchang Mansion and met two top brands, which is far behind."
Wei Guangde thought about the two courtesans I saw in Nanchang before, and felt that at this time, they were no longer suitable to call them.
Indeed, in a place, I am afraid that only the most beautiful one can be called the courtesan.
When Wei Guangde was speaking, he saw several beautiful women at the table staring at the beauties on the stage, revealing a statue of a pig brother. At this time, the melodious sound of the piano had already sounded, and Wei Guangde consciously shut up and listened carefully.
Well, after listening to it for a while, Wei Guangde just thought the tune was good, he was just blamed for not having much education and could not hear what was playing.
However, in the sound of the piano, Wei Guangde thought of Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" again. The sentence "It's noisy and complicated to play, and the big and small beads fall on the jade plate" is very appropriate.
It seems that "Pipa Xing" was written by Bai Juyi in Jiujiang Prefecture. The first sentence is "Sending guests at the head of Xunyang River at night". Isn't Xunyang the Jiujiang River?
Afterwards, the girl Xiangning played a few more songs, and each song must have won the cheers up and downstairs.
"Cousin, is this Miss Xiangning a gentleman?"
Wei Guangde remembered what he had heard before and asked in a low voice.
"What, you still want to sleep, haha."
Zhang Hongfu replied with a smile, which made several people around him laugh.
"There are many people who have made up their minds, but I haven't seen anyone who succeeds. You really want to succeed. I congratulate you brother."
The young man next to him smiled and answered.
"It's not worth it. If you really want to get started, you won't be able to touch the money without spending thousands of taels of silver. It's better to just click it, take out ten thousand taels of taels to redeem yourself, and go back and play slowly."
"I'm afraid I may not let go if I'm going to let it go."
"I guess it's not enough."
Soon, Wei Guangde just asked casually, and the few people on the table began to discuss Miss Xiangning's value in a low voice.
The innocent prostitute mentioned by Wei Guangde is actually a kind of woman who makes a living in a brothel.
The brothels in the Ming Dynasty were actually different from those in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty and later generations.
Those who sell themselves are prostitutes, and those who sell their skills but not are prostitutes. Those who make both are prostitutes.
In this era, most of the women in brothels were fairies who were not good at selling their own works, and some were also good at selling their own works, but the number was small, so they were of higher grades and received some high-ranking officials and nobles.
The kilns that are purely engaged in flesh and flesh business are not of any level anymore. The young men at this table won’t go to that kind of place.
"Forget it, even if you can afford the money, they may not be able to follow you. Don't dream."
At this moment, after playing a few songs, Miss Xiangning had already gotten up and left the stage, and the low-key discussions over there also stopped.
Wei Guangde felt something was wrong. Shouldn’t these young men in ancient times take over?
When did you start bargaining prices? Can’t you just get started and forcefully grab it?
Feeling different from the ancient times I remembered, Wei Guangde said curiously: "Why don't you just grab it back?"
"hiss"
What welcomed Wei Guangde was the sound of gasping in the air around him.
"Haha. It should be feasible in Madang Town."
Zhang Hongfu stared at Wei Guangde for a long time, but couldn't figure out how a person who was so good at studying would have thought of it.
"What, no?"
Wei Guangde continued to pretend to be confused.
"You go and try it. The two tables over there are still your classmates. Do you see who dares to do the tables next to you?"
Zhang Hongfu chuckled and shook his head, "You really snatched the person. What do you think the boss behind Cui Xiutang will do?
This Xiangning girl is now a money tree here. Look at how many people are downstairs?
Stealing money is like killing a parent. If so many people dare not take action, you should think of whoever takes action will be unlucky."
"Also, there are many people who have the idea of playing Xiangning girl here. If you snatch it away, think about what they will think. There are many big clans in Jiujiang Prefecture. Whoever has few people in the officialdom, just talk about it casually and someone will help him to tell the scholar. Don't say that you are just a scholar's fame, even the prefect of Jiujiang should be wary of others' attacks."
"No one will tell you anything in person. If someone turns back, he will submit a memorial to you, and he will also refer to each other accurately."
"Guangde, even if you go to a local official in the future, you must first clarify the relationship so as not to be provoked by people and families who cannot be provoked without any clarity. Men must be able to bend and stretch, don't you?"
"How old is he? What can he bend and stretch?"
The young men next to him immediately responded after Zhang Hongfu finished speaking, saying one by one. As for the performances in the audience, no one seemed to pay attention to them after Miss Xiangning stepped down.
Wei Guangde understood that in this era, there were backends when opening business, and the bigger the business, the bigger the backend, the bigger the backend. These young men all know this.
In addition, it seems that it is revealed that no matter whether you are an official or something, you must judge the situation when doing things and cannot do whatever you want.
Well, what people are involved in is a loss of personal morality.
After sitting for a while, Wei Guangde said a few words and got up to the two tables next door. He was classmates from the provincial school. They also came here to play, watching the dancer's performance here while playing horse hang.
These days, because Wei Guangde moved, he took half a month off at the Mansion School. This time they met unexpectedly in Cuixiutang.
"Brother Shen, why didn't you see Senior Brother Lao when you come here?"
After sitting down, Wei Guangde asked while watching them playing cards.
He asked Shen Liangdong, who was a senior from the provincial school, and he naturally failed the provincial examination. They came to Cuixiutang, but they didn't see Lao Kan coming too.
In Nanchang City, Wei Guangde discovered that Lao Kan was quite proficient in brothels and gambling, and it was hard to imagine that he had a reason not to come.
"Hey, something happened to one of his classmates. He has gone to help deal with it in the past two days."
Chen Liangdong replied.
At this time, someone next to him continued: "I'm over fifty and I'm still taking the exam for scholars, and I'm committed a sin."
"You can't say that. You are just focused on learning, but your family's conditions are a little worse."
As they spoke in a verbal manner, Wei Guangde learned that it turned out that it was Lao Kan's classmate, an old boy in his fifties, who failed the hospital examination and was also over 10 years old, and he finally chose to commit suicide because of his high debt.
