Chapter 74 The show spoiler

The Jincui Building is located in Baojian Camp. Baojian Camp is a famous brothel gathering in Lin'an. Mao Geng and the others had heard of it before. According to the waiter, it is not far from here.

But the two looked at Lin'an in a dark look. They are now people with status. If they can be summoned by the officials, they can show that their status is extraordinary. People with status will never ask around for directions and do things that are not in harmony with the wind and moon. After they arrived in Lin'an, they were already used to going out to sit in sedan chairs. When they went to the Ministry of Rites to enter the palace, they would take a sedan chair. Of course, they had to sit in sedan chairs when they arrived in the Fengyue land. Fortunately, there were sedan chairs waiting outside the restaurant, which was very convenient, so the two hired two sedan chairs and headed straight to Jincui Tower.

Sitting in the swaying sedan chair, Mao Geng sighed in his heart that the service consciousness and professional ethics of the "sedge brother" who carried sedan chairs in this era are examples. So far, I have not met the "sedge brother" who refuses to carry it. The attitude is even better. The only disadvantage is that there is no watch, and the price is he called, but he doesn't care about a few small money, so I just feel very comfortable sitting in the sedan chair.

The road gradually became lively, and from time to time I saw the beautiful portal with mixed light and shadow. I could vaguely see many beautiful women wearing gorgeous clothes leaning against the door and looking at it. Mao Geng said in his heart that he didn't know what the Jincui Tower was. Although he was not short of money, he had no experience or literati background, so he wouldn't be fooled by others as Brother Chu!

After getting off the sedan chair, he obviously arrived at the Jincui Building. When he looked up, he saw that the luxury of the Jincui Building was a bit unexpected. First of all, the lighting of the Jincui Building was different from other places. When Mao Geng saw that the lamps at the door and on the corridor were all made of translucent glass lamps made of lampshades. The lights were green or yellow. Under the soft and colorful lights, a Jincui Building seemed noble and ambiguous. It seems that although the Song people did not master the technology of firing high-temperature glass, they still knew how to burn low-temperature glass with lead oxide added. This kind of translucent glass is best used in brothels to make colorful lanterns.

At this time, bursts of music and songs came from inside, making people think of it.

When the two of them arrived at the door, they had their own beautiful maid greeted the guests:

"Two distinguished guests are here, please invite!"

After saying that, he led Mao Geng Wenyuan into it and greeted:

"It seems that the two distinguished guests are visiting this building for the first time. It's a coincidence. This building will have a rare performance tonight. Jiang Kui, a generation of heroes, plays the piano and flute, and Wu Lianer performs singing and dancing at the beginning. What's better for the two distinguished guests to watch the singing and dancing first, and then click the flower card?"

Mao Geng didn't know who Jiang Kui was or what Wu Lian'er looked like. However, when Wen Yuan heard the word Jiang Kui, his eyes lit up and immediately asked:

"Is it Jiang Kui who wrote the self-study song "Yangzhou Slow"?"

"It is Mr. Jiang who wrote "Yangzhou Slowness"."

When Mao Geng heard that he was the author of "Yangzhou Slowness", he said that it was really unreasonable not to understand it. After seeing the word "Jiang Kui" in later generations, he knew that this was the author of "Yangzhou Slowness" in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a stunning and stunning talented man. However, the word "Kui" has never been checked, so he never knew how to pronounce it. Until today, he realized that the pronunciation of the word "Kui" is "kui". I am ashamed! I am ashamed!

Speaking of which, I loved the lyrics of "Yangzhou Slow" in my previous life, and what is most admired is that the author not only wrote the lyrics himself, but also composed the music himself. "Yangzhou Slow" was both unique and popular in the Southern Song Dynasty, and "Yangzhou Slow" also became a new lyric card. Jiang Kui was very talented and a god-level music master and literary master. If he had to compare it with people from later generations, only Luo Dayou, the music genius who organized lyrics and music, was comparable to that of Luo Dayou. But Jiang Kui was still a unique step in calligraphy, which was not something Luo Dayou could compare.

Wen Yuan is a die-hard fan of Jiang Kui, so he said:

"Brother Geng, it's rare that Jiang Kui will play the piano and flute today. It's better to just follow what this female envoy said!"

Mao Geng had already forgotten what Niu Jindong was looking for, and answered immediately:

"good!"

Then he told the waitress:

"If we want to meet Mr. Jiang Kui for a while, I wonder if we have a chance?"

The waitress smiled and said:

"After the end, it depends on Mr. Jiang's own intention. However, if the two are the talents of Mr. Jiang, I can find a close seat for you. It happened that two distinguished guests had something to do and could not come. I just gave them two honored guests, but it would cost two staples more money to 'order tea'. When I saw that the two young masters were rich and powerful people, twenty staples of 'order tea' were not worth mentioning to the two young masters, right?"

The so-called "ordering flower tea" is, in layman's terms, approximately equivalent to the minimum consumption of a person who went to the karaoke bar in later generations. The waiter presented tea after the guests sat down, and then the guests gave the reward of "ordering flower tea". However, the tea fee for "ordering flower tea" is quite slaughtered, and at least several cents are required.

For Mao Geng, being able to appreciate Jiang Kui, who is a master of lyrics and music, is not a big deal. Even if the money is equivalent to the 300 yuan in later generations, it is only 6,000 yuan. It is worth it to chase the most dazzling master-level stars in the entertainment industry in the Song Dynasty!

The waitress led the two to a large room at the performance, bypassed one seat, came to a seat near the stage, and signaled the two to sit down and watch.

When Mao Geng saw that the layout of this large open room was roughly the same as that of the small theater in later generations. It was probably built specifically for performances. People always heard that the stage performances of the Southern Song Dynasty had already taken shape. It seems that this is not the case. From what we have seen and heard from time travel, singing and dancing, juggling, zaju, and sermons, the entertainment culture of the Song Dynasty was very impressive, and Lin'an was a place where various stage arts gathered, and it was called the entertainment paradise of the Song Dynasty.

It is said that in the 31st year of Shaoxing, the escort workshop was abolished, and the literary and artistic circles of the Song Dynasty were successfully reorganized. Musicians and singing and dancing artists who originally provided full-time entertainment services for Danei in the palace were unified, and they all became folk artists overnight. After these top artists went into the market, they indeed had an unparalleled creative spirit. They used all kinds of methods to bring folk entertainment to a higher level. Since then, the continuous renovations have made the stage art richer, resulting in the brothels in Lin'an often have special performance halls and stages. The princes and grandsons can not only recruit prostitutes to enjoy themselves, but also observe various public performances to enjoy them. Therefore, artists in the Southern Song Dynasty were laid off and stimulated artistic productivity in one fell swoop, which is a great deal!

At this time, the stage was singing "Apricot Blossoms and Sky Shadows" composed by Jiang Kui. The lead singer was dressed very pretty. It is now early spring February, and it is the cold season of spring. But she was just wearing a thin silk vest skirt with a fluttering belt and a thin waist. She danced and sang on the stage of the performance hall where the stove was born. Her beautiful eyes were vivid and made the audience in the audience intoxicated for a while.

Mao Geng has not adapted to the tune of Song lyrics, so he is far less obsessed with than other audiences. When Mao Geng saw Wen Yuan beside him, he could only sigh that his understanding of music was really limited.

Mao Geng paid more attention to Jiang Kui who was playing the flute. Jiang Kui on the stage was elegant and elegant, and he had a fairy-like style. Jiang Kui must be good at playing the flute, but in fact it was also very beautiful. But Mao Geng still felt that it was not as interesting as the music of later generations.

Although the lights on the stage were not very bright, what we wanted here was such a hazy and ambiguous poetic and picturesque, but Mao Geng still noticed that there was a young man behind him writing and painting on a slanted board. After a while, Mao Geng realized that this person should be painting. He looked at Wu Lian'er and then looked at Jiang Kui's side. It seems that he wanted to draw the scene of the two men playing and singing and dancing together!

This person also holds a charcoal pen in his hand, which is clearly the way to draw sketches. What's going on? Is it the so-called "Guang School" painting method? But Mao Geng felt that this person was not the military man named Niu who met in Chuzhou that day. It was obvious that the sketching person had been concentrating on painting and had never noticed that someone in the audience paid special attention to him. Perhaps it was the owner of Jincuilou. He wanted him to use his brush to draw the scene of Wu Lian'er singing and dancing with Jiang Kui today, leaving this moment of scene forever, and in the future, it would be better to promote Jincuilou. This is the same as later generations hang photos of celebrities in their business premises. After understanding this floor, Mao Geng was no longer surprised.

At the end of the song, the people in the audience shouted loudly, and the scene of two or three hundred people cheering was also spectacular, but Mao Geng could not understand it halfway, and he really couldn't resonate with everyone.

The next song is "Yangzhou Slow". At this time, Jiang Kui no longer plays the flute, but plays the piano. Jiang Kui is playing a seven-string guqin. As the sound of the piano sounds, Mao Geng is also immersed in his mind. He only feels that the piano sound is simple and the piano is long. Then Wu Lianer's singing sounds:

The famous capital of Huai Zuo is a place with a good place in the west of bamboo. It is the first journey of the saddle. After the spring breeze is ten miles away, the shepherd's wheat is green. Since Hu horses peek at the river, the abandoned ponds and trees are still tired of talking about soldiers. At dusk, the clear horns blow cold, and they are all in the empty city.

Du Lang's praises, but now he is more shocked. Even though he is a master of the poem, he is a good dream of brothels, but he is hard to express deep affection. The twenty-four bridges are still there, the waves are shaking, and the cold moon is silent. I think of the red medicine beside the bridge, and I know who to be born every year.

This poem Mao Geng was memorized in his later generations, so he listened to it much more charming than the previous "Apricot Blossoms and Sky Shadows". However, even so, Mao Geng still felt that somewhere was not right. Yes! Wu Lianer's chanting was the same as all the chantings of lyrics in this era. The chanting and fu taste were very strong, with one word and one sound, both singing and half singing, half singing, which was completely different from the sings of later generations in pursuit of smooth melody. Although it was full of ancient meaning, it was not something Mao Geng could appreciate.

Mao Geng suddenly thought, if he could let a generation of music master Jiang Kui appreciate the song singing styles of later generations, I wonder what it would feel like, would this genius musician get some special inspiration!

At this time, more enthusiastic cheers sounded from the scene. Judging from this posture, it seemed that Jiang Kui and Wu Lianer had to partner to continue the performance. Mao Geng quickly said a few words in Wen Yuan's ear.

Wen Yuan looked surprised, thought for a while, then questioned Mao Geng:

"Brother Geng, is this okay?"

Mao Geng leaned over and said loudly:

"I said ok, just do me a favor, no, this is also helping Jiang Kui. Come on!"

Wen Yuan heard that Mao Geng had reached this point, so he stopped hesitating and rushed directly to the stage.

When a group of cheering people saw Wen Yuan's attitude, they thought that this person was obsessed with the performance on stage, and they even tried to go on stage to express their admiration and admiration with the show of both sexes and art. Such fans have never seen it. In the view of the Lin'an audience, which has a great viewing and taste, this person is so obsessed that he has forgotten his identity.

In high-end clubs like Jincuilou, poor legs dare not care about them. They are all princes and literati and poets, so there are no burly men around the stage to prevent accidents, which makes Wenyuan run to the stage without any effort.

When Wen Yuan came on stage and was about to speak, a young Junyan from the stage couldn't stand it anymore and stood up, trying to give a glimpse of this person who was fascinated by nature. He only heard him shout:

"If this guy expresses his heart, it will not be too late to show off again, so he will not step down quickly! We will listen to Mr. Jiang play "Manjianghong" and "Yu Linling".

Everyone present also heard that Jiang Kui played "Manjianghong" and "Yu Linling" with unique music, so there are two songs on today's program list. I don't want a fan suddenly to rush to the stage to disrupt the situation, which made the audience, including these young heroes, unanimously angry.

But Wen Yuan ignored it, but bowed to the audience below, turned his back and bowed to Jiang Kui, and said:

"Mr. Jiang, can you use the piano? Xiaosheng has two new songs. If you want to play them, please give me some advice!"

Mao Geng and Wen Yuan did not have much effort to prepare for the court this time, so they just said to guess the question. No matter the question is off topic, they were just guessing it, fearing that there would be no question that could not be guessed. Maybe they thought that the emperor was all over the world, and they were afraid that Mao Geng would hear something after singing the new song "Yu Meiren" and "Canghai Smile", so the two prepared for these two songs. But Mao Geng didn't know how to play the piano at all, and Wen Yuan had some basics for playing the piano. Moreover, Wen Yuan was not only born to speak, but also learned to sing, but he was also blessed to learn to sing, especially when singing "Yu Meiren", he could also play female voices in the back. Therefore, after discussing the two, they decided to prepare for these two songs. After practicing for a few days, although Wen Yuan was still a little bit intricate enough to play the piano, he finally had a good singing skills, which made up for the shortcomings of the piano skills and could barely play on the stage.

However, Ting-Ying did not involve this topic at all. He thought that careful preparation would be a waste of effort, but Mao Geng was so good that he came up with an idea to show off his skills here. Since Wen Yuan had come here, he would not be frightened on such an occasion, so he went straight to the stage and asked Jiang Kui to borrow a piano and prepare to show his ugly appearance on the spot.

But Jiang Kui is a person with a high profile in the music industry of the Song Dynasty. How could he just hand over the piano in his hand to an arrogant boy who was still not dry! He just smiled and said nothing at the moment, just thinking that this person was a little lost and crazy.

But then someone from the audience exclaimed:

"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Wen Yuanwen? The official summoned An Ting to the point of being right, but I don't know what the point is right? Also, Mr. Mao!"

Needless to ask, the person who was exclaiming in the audience was Han Wu from Xinhua. Wen Yuan had drunk and had been with him for a whole day. However, just now Wen Yuan suddenly rushed to the stage, and Han Wu did not dare to recognize it for a moment. It was not until Wen Yuan spoke that Han Wu was sure that it was Wen Yuan who rushed forward.
