At this time, although the lives of the common people in the Song Dynasty are getting richer day by day, formal singing and dancing like this is a high-end luxury enjoyment. Except for the rich and powerful, only high-end brothel karaoke houses can be seen; Needless to say, the singing and dancing in the brothel singing workshop alone is not something that ordinary people can see. Boys and boys occasionally want to be romantic and elegant. It is a great feat to order one or two games, but at the same time it will definitely exhaust the mother's energy. The private money given by Lao Tzu.

The amount of money spent is huge, because formal singing and dancing requires a large number of people, and it cannot be performed by ordinary prostitutes; dancers need to have an attractive figure, and singers need to have musical skills and singing voice. What needs to be learned, and the singing and dancing must cooperate with each other, and they must be trained together. It is not just a group of dancers and singers who can sing and perform; in Luzhou, a small and medium-sized city with a population of 10,000+, it is possible to get together It is indeed a difficult thing to bring a group of kabuki who are good at singing and dancing.

Ordinary people go in and out of Goulan brothels for nothing more than to buy a joke, and ordinary prostitutes are just exchanging sex for money, so they don't have time to learn some singing and dancing skills, so that piao people are not up to standard. The sellers are unprofessional, and they discard the essence of going in and out of brothels, chasing after everything for a moment of pleasure, even if some brothels have singing and dancing projects, they are just gag-like dramas, neither artistic nor enjoyable Xing, the only thing left is the entertainment Xing that teases the **;

After the applause, the audience buzzed, and everyone smiled and talked about pointing at each other.

"Look, my eyesight is pretty good, isn't that the little Fengxian from Mingyufang who is singing?" One person said proudly.

"Really, brother, why are you so familiar with her? Have you ever kissed Fangze? Hee hee."

"I'd like to... but selling Yu'er for half a year can't make enough money to spend a moment with her. Besides, even if you have money, you can't enter her room. She's picky."

"A bitch, does it depend on the person to sell?" one person spat.

"Damn Bi, can your mouth be cleaner?"

"Yelling? It seems that you are really a passionate seed. I'm afraid that you didn't even say a word, and you started to love it. You really belong to me."

"You are so vulgar. Although I am a fish seller, I have a heart of pity and tenderness. How can you, a beast, know my pure and elegant heart?"

"Hahaha..." The people around laughed.

On a small building opposite the colored platform, a woman in purple was sitting on a sandalwood chair. The tall window screen was facing the colored platform, and she could see clearly.

"Miss, what the servant girl said is right. This young master of the Su family doesn't care about his reputation. He openly got together with these women in brothel singing houses, and even sang and danced in public. It's really... really..."

"Hey, the sons and daughters of the rich family are all of this kind of virtue. The women who came out just now are indeed women from the brothels in Beicheng. This Mr. Su is a big hand. I was pulled here by him, and I don't know what he is going to do." Another maid also chimed in.

The woman in purple squinted at the two maidservants, and said with a vague smile: "You two are so strange, why do you have an enmity with this Mr. Su? He has never met you before, so what did he do to you?" What's the matter? I've been muttering for a long time now."

"Young maid just can't get used to it. I just see Miss admiring Mr. Su so much, and I feel annoyed." The tall maid said pouting.

"Stop, when did I take him so seriously? I won't forgive you if you say another word of such a bastard." A blush flashed on the beautiful and fair face of the woman in purple.

"When watching the song and dance just now, Miss, you even said a few 'good words', and you were fascinated by it. I don't know how many times I have seen this kind of song and dance in my uncle's house, and I haven't seen you say hello. Why is the song and dance of the Su family Is that all right?" The tall girl said unforgivingly.

The woman in purple said angrily: "Damn girl, I mean this "Bodhisattva Man" is well written, not about his people. This small poem about Bodhisattva Man seems to be about people, but it is actually about love, and it is not about people. The vulgar and erotic poems circulating on the market are dedicated to the love between men and women, but what they write is the meaning of homesickness, but it seems to be mixed with the sad meaning of being unable to return home. The elegant and elegant words really move me. Master Su's hand."

"Tch, look at his son and brother, how homesick is he at the age of fifteen or sixteen; it's just moaning without illness; miss, you are good at everything, but sometimes you are a little unpredictable." The maid muttered.

"Stop talking nonsense, I've been in a good mood because of you. I'm going to Bianliang to take care of business in a few days, and I'm so busy that I finally found time to relax. You two girls What a disappointment." The purple-clothed woman sighed, put her face tea on the small table next to her, and said, "Miss, don't be angry, it's just talking casually to relieve boredom, little servant girl will accompany you to see what kind of tricks this Mr. Su is playing. , with great fanfare."

The woman in purple smiled and turned to look at the colorful platform outside the window.

I don't know when there was a man standing on the stage, but he was wearing a cross-collared blue silk shirt, black silk pants, his waist was tied with a purple ribbon, and a green butterfly pendant hung from his belt. One; because he was not young enough to wear a crown, his hair was tied with a blue gold ribbon, and two strands of black hair hung on his chest; the whole dress was decent and generous, and the more supportive this person was, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his demeanor was graceful.

Everyone in the audience applauded: what a good Mr. Pianpianjia.

I saw that man came to the stage with square steps, first smiled and cupped his hands, made a round bow to everyone in the audience, and then said: "Fathers, old folks, wives and wives of Luzhou Prefecture, here is Su Jin, here you go." Greetings, everyone."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, everyone said that Su Jin, the only son of the Su family, was a nerd, but standing on the stage, this gentleman Pian Pian, who was polite and smiling, didn't look like a nerd with no understanding of the world, his posture was a bit battle-tested The style that is used to seeing big scenes.

Su Jin coughed, and continued in a slightly louder voice: "Today is the second day of May. This is the day when everyone is preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival and buying festival supplies. I, Su Ji, are bothering everyone at this time. Sorry."

A poppier under the stage said: "Since that's the case, why don't you reward me with some money, and you won't waste half a day in vain."

The people in the audience burst into laughter, and some idlers echoed and yelled; Su Jin glanced at these people, the smile on his face remained unchanged and he said loudly: "It's not a big deal for me, Su Jin, but I'm just afraid of sweeping a few people." My brother's face, look at the thousands of people here, and there are many wives and ladies. If I throw a few pennies to you, wouldn't it be like sending a beggar? There are so many eyes here watching you closely. Walking in the city of Luzhou, isn't it like having the word beggar carved on your face, teaching you how to mess around?"

The rambunctious idlers in the audience were speechless, they hadn't considered face matters on weekdays, but after hearing this reminder from Mr. Su's family today, they felt that this was indeed a problem; when they looked around again, they found that men and women were all staring at him. They see; men are fine, if you meet them in the future and dare to show contempt, you can go up with the hammer wheel, but there is no shame in front of so many women, especially those who are sitting in donkey carts and mule carts with half of their bodies exposed. Xiaojiabiyu from the official family and the gentry's family with a face, taught them to read jokes, that would not work.

"I'm just laughing, how can a man want to eat what he has come." The poppy laughed.

Poppi also understands the phrase "you come to eat", but Su Jin is a little surprised. It seems that the popularity of the Song Dynasty style of writing is not a lie, even the mud legs on the street may say a few words.

To deal with these people, it is natural to give each other down the stairs. Su Jin pointed with a smile and said: "A good man, he has backbone."

The rogue smiled, and the turmoil disappeared without a trace; the woman in purple on the small building opposite nodded slightly, staring at Su Jin on the stage, wondering what she was thinking.

"Fathers and elders, you must have a big question in your mind. Why did I, Su Ji, set up a colorful stage here today, and invited singing and dancing masters to perform singing and dancing for you? Why is it so pretentious?" Su Jin continued.

"It's very simple. This is Su Ji's gratitude to his fathers and villagers for their recognition and love for Su Ji over the years. For decades, Su Ji has relied on the care of all his fathers and villagers to make today in Luzhou. My Su family is here I sincerely thank all the folks and elders for their love." Su Jin bowed deeply to the audience, with an extremely sincere expression.

There was a commotion in the audience, everyone said that the merchant was treacherous and cunning, and it was not profitable to get up early. Although Mr. Su's words did not seem to be fake, but few believed it. Everyone looked at Su Jin eagerly, watching him do something What tricks come out.

Su Jin raised his head, his face became serious, and he said slowly: "However, there was something recently that made me feel ashamed of all of you; a month ago, a businessman from Yangzhou came to my Luzhou mansion and wanted to talk to you." I, Su Ji, negotiated a business. It was a batch of cloth business. It was a good deal at first, and the money was about to be delivered. That night, the man suddenly changed his mind. The business is based on honesty. Naturally, I have to ask why. If you say you regret it, you regret it? Guess how that person justifies it?"

Some of the people guessed that the price was too low, some guessed that the man had something wrong with his brain, and some simply guessed that the man was a liar. Su Jin laughed and said, "Everyone, you all guessed wrong, he just said Not only did my lungs explode with rage, but I was also speechless and unable to refute."

Everyone asked one after another: "What did he say to teach Mr. Su to be so angry?"

Su Jin's face showed embarrassment, and he hesitated to speak; when he was anxious, he yelled: "Mr. Su, look at you, you are so capable, you are so hesitant when you speak, you are like a woman."

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of women immediately rolled their eyes, and those who yelled regretted not falling.

"Everyone really wants to listen, then I'll tell you." Su Jin seemed to grit his teeth and made up his mind.
