Chapter 227

Xiao Peng slowly opened his eyes, got up, stretched himself facing the rising sun, jumped off the roof, and walked to the front hall.

It was already a month later. After Xiao Peng and Yue Jin went to see the villa that day, they were very satisfied. The furniture was complete. When the imperial court ransacked the house, it was nothing more than taking away valuable gold and silver. It didn't move at all.

Xiao Peng and Yue Jin went to Yue Ke's yamen that day, and Xiao Peng also got to know Yue Ke, the grandson of Yue Fei.

Yue Ke's image was different from the bravery of the Yue family army. He was a typical Confucian scholar. After seeing Xiao Peng's bearing and being a good friend of his son, he paid 2 yuan without saying a word. The villa was sold to Xiao Peng for a price of two.

And Xiao Peng also settled down in the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, Yue Jin brought Xiao Peng to invite craftsmen to renovate the villa. At the same time, he recruited a group of servants and handymen. Today, the villa is completely new.

Xiao Peng himself wrote a plaque of "Xiaoyao Mountain Villa" in thin gold, and asked someone to frame it and hang it above the gate.

After seeing Xiao Peng's calligraphy, Yue Jinzi was amazed again and again, just like Xiang Ming's political commissar, he wanted to ask Xiao Peng for calligraphy.

Xiao Peng was in a good mood. With a swipe of his pen, he simply drew an ink painting. The painting was exactly the scenery of the South Lake seen from the perspective of the villa. Then he mentioned the poem he sang by the lake at the beginning, and finally signed it. It was written by Xiao Peng, the son of Xiaoyao.

Yue Jin was overjoyed, and took the poems and paintings home as if he had found a treasure. After Yue Ke saw them, he couldn't help but be amazed at Xiao Peng, and he also had a deeper understanding of Xiao Peng.

Since then, Xiao Peng has become a frequent visitor to the Yue Mansion. Yue Jin has two younger brothers, one Yue Ao, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Now he is studying abroad and is not at the mansion. The third brother, Yue Ying, is still a naive child .

For more than half a month, Xiao Peng has traveled mountains and rivers with Yue Jin and his three or five friends, reciting poems and fighting against each other. Occasionally, he would meet up at Xiao Peng Villa to drink and have fun. These second-generation officials are already at the peak of their age, and they have almost read the books. They only need to wait for the imperial examination that takes place every three years, and they can go to Beijing to catch up.

The capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was in Lin'an, which is now Hangzhou. It was only two hundred miles away from Jiaxing, and it was only a day's journey by horse-drawn carriage, so these guys were not in a hurry. I study hard behind closed doors.

"Brother Xiao, you are so talented, why don't you take part in the imperial examination? If you are willing to take part, you must be the number one scholar!"

Xiao Peng shook his head with a smile, and said to the man who was talking to him: "Brother Wang, I don't know something. I am a human being who likes to be free and easy, and I don't want to be disturbed by ordinary things, and I have no interest in being an official. If I try If a number one scholar becomes an official, he must be a very stupid official."

"Hahahaha... Brother Xiao, you are really...really..."

"You want to say that you have no ambitions! Hehe, that's right, Xiao is such a guy with no ambitions. In this life, Xiao wants to be unrestrained and just eat and die."

Several friends laughed and shook their heads. This brother Xiao's words often give people a sense of deviant, but it is refreshing. He laughs and scolds, but is full of philosophy of life.

Yue Jin suddenly said to Xiao Peng with great interest: "Brother Xiao, do you know that there are a few noblemen in Cuiyan Pavilion who are going to choose the oiran tonight, are you interested in joining in the fun?"

"Oh?" Xiao Peng became interested. He knew about the Cuiyan Pavilion. He often heard these guys mention that it was one of the top fireworks places in Jiaxing. Each has its own strengths.

Cuiyan Pavilion is not a pure brothel. In fact, many people confuse brothels with brothels. Prostitutes are divided into geisha and prostitutes.

A geisha is more like a resident singer or dancer in a modern nightclub, but a geisha will also work part-time as an accompaniment, but that’s all. Of course, it’s not so absolute. Sometimes a geisha meets I don't mind having a good time with a benefactor who I like.

"So, I'm going to see and see. Thank you brother-in-law for letting me know the news. I will go to Cuiyan Pavilion tonight. All the expenses will be paid to Xiao, hehe."

"Haha, if that's the case, we brothers will be disrespectful."

"That's right, brother Xiao has a lot of money, but he is not stingy, just like Mengchang in ancient times!"

……

In the evening, Xiao Peng, Yue Jin and two other friends went to the Cuiyan Pavilion together, and saw that the Cuiyan Pavilion was decorated with lights and festoons tonight, just like a festival. Hello, it seems that these guys are also regular customers here.

But Xiao Peng didn't care too much. People often say that talented people are romantic, how many talented people in ancient times were not romantic?
Cuiyan Pavilion is very big, even bigger than Time Like Water in Xiaoaoli. After all, Huayin City is just a county seat, while Jiaxing is a mansion. The specifications of this brothel are naturally different.

Cuiyan Pavilion originally had many wing rooms, but no one entered the wing rooms tonight, they all gathered in the hall. When Xiao Peng and the others arrived, there were no vacant seats, and finally there was still a table of guests who recognized Yue Jin and his group as Jiaxing dude In the circle, the top group of young masters, for the purpose of flattery, voluntarily gave up the table.

Xiao Peng took a glance, and found that most of the people present were literati and poets, gentry and wealthy businessmen, and tycoons, and most of them were literati.

Some of them, like Xiao Peng, are people in the martial arts world who play games and are proud of the world. Most of them are scholars who put their love on their confidante and enjoy the warmth and soft jade. In the hometown of He Wenrou, he couldn't extricate himself, and eventually abandoned his studies.

Xiao Peng scanned around and stopped paying attention, just drank the fine wine on the table with Yue Jin and the others.

After half an hour, the oiran selection activity finally started. The pink gauze curtain was lowered, and four graceful figures loomed behind the curtain, arousing people's imagination. The waitress began to sell paper flowers with trays.

Xiao Peng tilted his head in doubt and asked Yue Jin: "Brother Yue, what is this for?"

"Brother Xiao, these paper flowers are a tool for choosing the oiran. You can buy ten flowers for one tael of silver. When the time comes, the beauties who are running for the oiran will come forward one by one. Which oiran you like the most, you can cast the paper flower on In her body, in the end, the oiran will be judged according to the number of paper flowers obtained." Yue Jin patiently explained to Xiao Peng.

"Oh! That's how it is." Xiao Peng nodded, expressing his understanding. When the waiter brought the tray to Xiao Peng's table, Yue Jin and the others all looked at Xiao Peng eagerly.

Xiao Peng smiled slightly, put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out again, he already had an extra gold bar in his hand. The gold bar was a whole catty, that is, 16 taels, equal to 160 taels of silver.

"This is 16 taels of gold. You can buy [-] flowers. Take the flowers!"

"..." Yue Jin and the others were stunned, while the surrounding guests all looked at Xiao Peng speechlessly, Nima, you bought so much, then basically you decide who is the oiran, we are still playing a fart ah!

This is the same as in modern times, if the background of those talent show contestants is rich and powerful, then they can completely control the so-called popular vote, and whoever wants to be in the position will be in the position.

But they are jealous, but they will not be so stupid as to confront Xiao Peng. 160 taels, that is almost the expenses of an ordinary family for several years, no matter how rich they are, it is not such a way to spend!It's just buying a flower to join in the fun. Most people buy ten for a symbolic amount.

There are also those who are more bold. They bought a hundred flowers at a time, and they were proud of it, but as soon as Xiao Peng said that, those people were all dumbfounded. What is a high-ranking customer?This is it!
The waiter was dumbfounded, and said in a nonchalant voice: "Your...Young master, we don't have so many flowers, why don't you buy less?"

When the old woman next to her heard the waiter's words, her eyes turned green, and she hurried forward, waving the handkerchief in her hand, "You little hoof, what are you talking about? The young master came here just to please you, how can you make me laugh?" Is the young master spoiling the fun?"

After reprimanding the waiter, the old lady looked at Xiao Peng with a flattering smile, "My lord, it's true that we didn't prepare well today, but it doesn't matter, we can just be my lord. You bought [-] flowers. If you want How many flowers to vote for, just say it directly, we will record it, do you think it will work?"

"Hehe, I didn't see that you have a lot of brains!" Xiao Peng glanced at her in surprise, and said, "Let's do it this way! Brothers, it's agreed, [-] flowers, and we each have [-]."

"Haha, Brother Xiao is indeed quite proud."

"Then let's take advantage of Brother Xiao today!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"
