Chapter 228 The Guest of the Green Song

Zheyu suddenly thought of the previous correspondence between Baicaoshi and him.In the letter, she said that she had found several talented people: Bu Zhan could work as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ping Sheng and Luo Chen could enter the Ministry of Household Affairs.Although he didn't know the specific purpose of her looking for Duan Shaoyi, it was obviously useful.

Baicao is building a talent pool.

"This time, which department do you plan to let Duan Shaoyi join?" Zhe Yu asked meaningfully.

"Ah, what?" Baicaoshi only took a breath to realize what Zheyu meant, and she smiled, "Is the Ministry of Culture and Art okay?"

The Department of Culture and Art is also unfamiliar, but Oriha understands without hindrance, "Then we need to establish a Department of Culture and Art first."

Baicaoshi thought of a prosperous age where a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom. This prosperous age was created by her and Zhe Yu.She laughed so loudly.

"Then let's go?"

Before going to Hongxiu Tianxiang Building, Baicaoshi still dressed up.Just because Zhe Yu's face is too iconic.It's always bad for others to see him visiting that kind of place.

She drew a tear mole on Zhe Yu and added two mustaches.Give myself another freckle makeup.

Hongxiu Tianxiang Building has two specialties, one is the music of red songs, and the other is the dance of green songs.In the early days, the aristocrats of Yanjing liked to talk about red and green collocations the most.Later, the red song redeemed her body and left the world of mortals, and the dance of the green song became an absolute hit.

Today is Green Song's dance performance every ten days, and the Hongxiu Tianxiang Building is overcrowded and very lively.

In front of the gate, Mr. Gui enthusiastically solicits customers, and the entrance fee is two taels of silver per person.

"It's just a robbery." You have to pay for the money before you spend it.Baicao muttered.

Mr. Turtle was still smeared with inferior rouge, and he was more feminine than a woman when he smiled: "If we don't accept money here, those rich men, literati and poets haven't broken the threshold of our red sleeves, and we won't be able to welcome them. .”

What he said made sense, but Baicaoshi was speechless.

"Is Mr. Duan here today?" In order to avoid being taken advantage of, Baicaoshi decided to ask clearly before proceeding.

"We have people with the surname Duan who go in and out every day, and there are no less than five, seven or eight. Which Mr. Duan are you talking about?" Mr. Gui laughed even louder. Many people put on makeup and changed their appearance. Playing games and looking for a husband, these things should be avoided as much as possible. "Hey, Mr. Li, please come inside."

"Mr. Duan who can draw, Mr. Duan who has painted red music." Baicaoshi said.

Such Mr. Duan is the only one in the world.

Mr. Gui covered his mouth and smiled, "Say it earlier, he is here, he has come early, and he will definitely praise the green song scene."

Baicaoshi took out four taels of silver from the purse, felt pain for a second, and entered it with Zhe Yu.

Hongxiu Tianxiang is a courtyard-like mansion with a front hall and a backyard.The front hall is called "Shengse Building", which is used to receive ordinary guests. It is a three-story building with a high ceiling in the middle and a circular stage.The back hall is where the girls receive VIPs in private.

At that time, the third floor was crowded with people, and silk ribbons hung from the ceiling of the roof. On the stage, the women's slender waists curled up, like dancing in the palm of their hands.When the water sleeve is shot out, it looks like flying into the sky, with a fairy posture and elegance.

Suddenly, the green song swayed and flew from one corner of the stage to the other corner.The beauty is in the air, like swinging on a swing, shedding petals.With a strand of hair on her temples, she smiled wildly.The dance is beautiful, and the people are more beautiful.

The men in the audience are going crazy.Keep shouting "Green song, green song!"

Baicaoshi looks at the fairies spreading flowers in the sky above, and thinks about the national dance in the new century, it's nothing more than that. "so beautiful!"

She looked at Zhe Yu, and suddenly regretted letting him come with her.

A beauty is like jade, I feel pity for it, let alone a man?

Zhe Yu looked at her, and he didn't care about what the dance was about. "Her dance is beautiful, and your medicinal food is even more delicious. There is no need to compare with her."

Baicaoshi flattened her mouth and was comforted.

As the dance draws to a close, the Green Dancer moves his sleeves to greet the guests, and then exits the stage.

The crowd started to get restless.

"I'll give you one hundred taels!"

"Green song girl, I double."

Baicaoshi is puzzled, what is the quotation at this time?Bid?
Oriha explained, "They are competing for who will be the guest of honor tonight."

Baicaoshi stroked her chin and joked, "It would be great if I could brush my face. Money is commonplace, so it's not as good as a handsome gentleman."

Zhe Yu's face was covered with frost, if she met someone prettier in the future, would she still plan to change husbands?
Baicaoshi understood this look, shrank her neck, seeing the oiran's side was so difficult, Hongqu's request might not be fulfilled.

"I'm just talking casually. Youdao said that the sea was too difficult for water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, not a cloud."

Use poetry to express your feelings, whether you can understand it depends on Zhe Yu.

Zhe Yu was really satisfied.But her little brain is always bursting out with new and novel things, which makes him feel like "quicksand slips through the fingers". "Which sea is Canghai, and what kind of mountain is Wushan?"

At the same time, another voice sounded beside him, "Brother, you have a good literary talent. Money and the like are all vulgar things. How can they be worthy of a green song girl?"

Baicaoshi became interested and asked, "Then what will you give in exchange for the guest spot of Green Song?"

"A sincere heart, and Danqing paintings." After finishing speaking, the man snapped his fingers and shouted towards the front of the stage, "I will make a long scroll picture."

The guests laughed loudly. How could such a poor student use paintings to fool people?

The man walked to the front of the stage with a smile, looked at the madam's mother above, "A few days ago, my scroll picture was a thousand gold, and I wish to spend a good night with the green song girl."

The old bustard slowly walked onto the stage, "Mr. Duan, I'm sorry, today's guests have already been confirmed, and those who want to watch the green song are not allowed. We, Hongxiu Tianxiang and other girls, all have their own flowers. Each eye has its own merits, and everyone has fun."

Baicaoshi can say that she is so lucky?She hadn't even started to look for it, but someone appeared automatically, which was even more bizarre than the plot of a novel. "Yu Bao, the fish has appeared."

"Just bring it here." Zhe Yu said very domineeringly.

"Don't be too violent, let's take the attitude of a corporal, huh?" Baicaoshi said with a smile.

Repay the courtesy to the corporal?That's the bearing that a king should have, Zhe Yu couldn't help laughing, "Then tell me, what do you want to do with him? If you want to find someone to draw a portrait, I can do it too."

After all, Zhe Yu didn't want his daughter-in-law to be looked at by others and entered into the painting.

Baicaoshi squeezed his palm and whispered, "I know you are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I came to him for long-term commercial painting. I can't explain this right now. You will understand when I sign him." .”

The auction came to an abrupt end, some guests left the table, some ordered flowers and wine to listen to music, and some went directly to find other girls, but Duan Shaoyi did not give up, and turned to the backyard in circles.

The rule of Hongxiu Tianxiang Building is that only the girl's name can be called before entering the backyard.

While Baicaoshi and Zheyu were talking, Duan Shaoyi was already familiar with the road, bypassing the big teapot in the building and arriving in front of a small courtyard.This is Green Song's boudoir.

The curtains were drawn, and the inside could not be seen clearly, but the sound of pipa could be heard.In addition to being good at dancing, Lu Ge is also good at playing the pipa.

Duan Shaoyi hid behind the bushes, looked in furtively, and was suddenly patted on the shoulder behind her.He was terrified.

It was Zhe Yu and Baicaoshi who patted his shoulder.

At this moment, two figures were thrown out.With the help of the lantern under the eaves, Baicaoshi recognized that the two were Xia Jie and Cui Jiu.

"Damn it, where is the stunned young man who dares to provoke me?" Cui Jiu scolded angrily.

Afterwards, Xia Jie was terrified as if he had seen a ghost, "Young Master Cui, your hand..."

Cui Jiu raised his hand, and a centipede was crawling on the back of his hand, which was extremely disgusting.How could there be centipedes in this season?He yelled "Aw". "Toxic, poisonous!"
