Those years when I fished in Zhenwu Division

Chapter 127
Jiaofang Division, Lianhua Xiaoyuan.

In order to show the status of the oirans, the Jiaofang Division has prepared a separate small courtyard for each oiran, and the small courtyard is even equipped with a small garden and a pool.

Lianhua Xiaoyuan is the residence of this year's new oiran, Meiji.

In the house at this time, the oil lamp was glowing with a golden luster, covering the whole house with a layer of golden light.

Under the oil lamp, against the backdrop of a beautiful figure, Meiji is wearing a dress of flowers, holding a brocade bag in her hand, and two mandarin ducks are jumping on it.

"Sigh~"

Maybe it was careless, the silver needle pierced the belly of the finger, and immediately there was bright red blood oozing out, Mei Ji frowned in pain.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Xiangxiang hurried up to greet her, and said with a worried face.

"It's okay, I just got stabbed by a needle."

Mei Ji chuckled lightly and said, "It's been a long time since I embroidered, and the craftsmanship is a little rusty."

Xiangxiang said with a reproachful expression: "Hmph, miss, your temperament is not suitable for doing these things, and why do you want to embroider something here?"

Meiji held the stabbed finger in her mouth, handed the kit to Xiangxiang, and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang, let's take a look at the kit I made. It will be ready tomorrow, and then put it in." Some vanilla can be made into a sachet and given to Mr. Su."

Hearing Meiji's words, Xiangxiang couldn't help but change his face, and muttered: "Mr. Su, what are you talking about Mr. Su all day long? The two of you have only met three times in total. Do you know who he is?" ?"

"He's just a small town guard. Is it worth your effort to treat him?"

"There are so many young masters in Tai'an City, who do you have a bad crush on, but you want to fall in love with him?"

"I really don't know what ecstasy soup that guy poured into you to make you fascinated."

Hearing this, Mei Ji recalled all the scenes of meeting Su Yu before, and her eyes couldn't help but sparkle.

She said with a smile: "If it weren't for Mr. Su and the song for Meiji, I wouldn't be a well-known oiran in Tai'an City."

"However, we spent money to buy that song for Meiji, and it cost five hundred yuan crystals to buy it. Looking at the world, a poem can be sold so expensively, and there is only one copy."

Xiangxiang said dissatisfied: "This is a fair deal in itself, and everyone owes nothing to each other."

Meiji said: "Xiangxiang, please read it to me once."

Xiangxiang was startled when she heard the words, then shook her head and said: "The waist is like a thin willow supporting the spring breeze, looking back and dancing to make idiots dream, like floating clouds wearing neon clothes, and the temples are covered with frost when the curtain falls"

After finishing reading, Xiangxiang asked puzzledly: "Miss, why do you want me to read this poem?"

Mei Ji smiled lightly: "Since you can recite this poem now, do you know the meaning of this poem?"

"meaning?"

Xiangxiang's face was full of doubts, she couldn't help shaking her head and said, "I don't know, it's because you forced me to memorize it, Miss."

"Isn't the meaning of this poem about the life of an oiran?"

Meiji's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, and she said seriously, "Xiangxiang, you are still young, but you have to understand one thing."

"The most beautiful age in our women's life is only a few short years. After that age, we will gradually grow old. We are not like the lotus in the pond in front of the house, which bloomed this year and will continue to bloom next year. , we women have passed the age of twenties, and the rest of our lives will be slowly aging."

"During the years when we were the most beautiful, we must try our best to find a good husband who is worth entrusting for a lifetime."

"My mother once said to me that a woman must find a worthy man as soon as possible, otherwise, when she gets old and faded, a man will find a woman younger than you, but if you Just stay by his side, and when he makes a fortune in the future, he will naturally think about the days when you were with him before."

"We women, the most important thing in this life is to find the right man."

Xiangxiang was puzzled and said: "Miss, you think Mr. Su is a wishful man worthy of entrusting you for a lifetime."

When Mei Ji heard this, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she nodded seriously.

When she saw Su Yu for the first time, she never looked at Su Yu directly.

Even if it was Su Yu who drove away a few hooligans for them, she didn't have any good impressions of him, she just thought that Zhenwuwei was just a warrior who knew how to fight and kill, very vulgar.

But after getting the poem written by Su Yu, which made her shine in Tai'an City, she couldn't help thinking, who wrote this poem?
After she got the answer from Su Yu, ripples finally appeared in her heart lake at that moment.

After so many years, her mother's admonition to her has already been shelved in a corner of her heart.

But because of the song for Meiji, she once again realized the true meaning of what her mother said.

The sun is easy to pass away, and the face is easy to grow old.

If a woman can't find a man she likes at her most beautiful age, why should she think that she can make a man fall in love with her wholeheartedly when her appearance is gone?
The biggest capital of a woman in this life is her own appearance.

When the appearance is gone, men naturally set their sights on younger and more beautiful girls.

There is no oiran who will always maintain his appearance, but there will always be an oiran who coincides with the cardamom age.

Xiangxiang couldn't help but said: "Miss, who is that guy? We don't even know the bottom line yet, so you think he is your wishful man so hastily?"

Mei Ji chuckled lightly and said, "I believe I can't misjudge someone, do you still remember the first time we met him?"

Thinking of the first meeting back then, Mei Ji's pretty face couldn't help but look a little ashamed.

In order to avoid being kicked out of the house by Kong Yangming, she deliberately showed her fragrant shoulders, and then yelled indecently, Su Yu was there at the time
"I still remember his expression at that time."

Mei Ji said with a smile: "His eyes were very calm at the time, and he didn't show any covetousness because of the skin I showed."

"And later, when we saw Mr. Su for the last time, I was already a famous oiran in Tai'an City, but he still didn't show any obsessed expression because I was Mei Ji."

"Even when I offered to invite him to the Jiaofang Division for a reception next time, he politely declined."

"If a man is only obsessed with women, then he won't achieve much in his life!"

"On the contrary, when a man no longer devotes all his energy to being a woman, and always thinks about making achievements, he will no longer lack women. Things in this world are so wonderful."

"Xiangxiang, our life is not long. My mother once said that finding a man is like looking for an ear of wheat in a wheat field. We can only find an ear of wheat in a wheat field. When you find an ear of wheat that you think Once you have a full ear of wheat, you should pick it off immediately, and then choose to leave the wheat field, and never think about whether there are more full ears of wheat in this wheat field.”

Xiangxiang said thoughtfully: "Miss, do you think Mr. Su is the ear of wheat you are looking for?"

"There are so many young masters in Tai'an City, let's just find one who is better than him, right?"

"Look at him last time, we bought him a special admission ticket, and he was lucky enough to sell the ticket for money."

"I see, he is not good at sex, but he is greedy for money, and he is extremely greedy for money. And the time we went to his house, do you see how poor his family is?"

"This kind of person must be afraid of poverty, that's why they are so greedy for money."

"Miss, if you follow him, you don't know what kind of hard life you will have."

For Su Yu, Xiangxiang didn't have much affection for him. His own lady had paid so much for him, but he was lucky enough to not even come to the reception, ignoring the lady's kindness in vain.

Then she seemed to remember something, and said: "Besides, miss, even if you commit yourself to him, can he have the money to redeem you?"

"As far as I know, it is not a small amount of money to redeem the oiran of the Jiaofang Division. He is a small town of Wuwei, how can he have so much money?"

"When you are no longer an oiran, the Secretary of Jiaofang will not be like this, and will let you go"

Xiangxiang didn't finish the rest of the sentence.

But Mei Ji naturally understood.

The oiran election of Jiaofang Division is held once a year.

It may be re-elected by last year's oiran, or it may be replaced by someone else.

Once the position of oiran is gone, Mei Ji will be forced to pick up guests just like the other girls in Jiaofang Division.
According to Xiangxiang's idea, the best destination for Miss is to find a rich man, and then that rich man will redeem him and take him as a concubine.

In this way, Meiji can at least spend the rest of her life well-clothed and well-fed in this life, and will not be reduced to the quagmire of Jiaofangsi.

Meiji shook her head when she heard the words, and murmured: "How many rich people treat you sincerely?"

"He stays with you because of your looks, and he will leave because of your looks. When your looks get old, he will abandon you like a shoe."

She had heard too many oirans who were redeemed by rich people in the Jiaofang Division, but their life was not as good as being in the Jiaofang Division with a little bit of red lips and tens of thousands of people.

There is even an oiran who lived a good life for a few years before, but finally threw himself into the river for the rest of his life.

I can save the ransom money by myself, if it is not enough this year, I will try to be re-elected as Oiran
Mei Ji's gaze was firm, and she thought to herself.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of Lianhua Xiaoyuan.

Xiangxiang frowned involuntarily, and muttered: "It's true that you are here to disturb people at this time."

"Xiangxiang, go and see who is here." Meiji urged.

"Oh."

Xiangxiang nodded, then went straight out of the inner room, went to the front yard and opened the gate.

"Lan Ju, what are you doing here at night?"

Xiangxiang saw who was coming, and couldn't help asking.

"Xiangxiang, is Miss Meiji resting?" Lan Ju panted heavily and said quickly.

"I'm going to rest soon." Xiangxiang said.

"Xiangxiang, ask Meiji, a group of people came to the front yard today, they are from the Zhenwu Division, and a Master Su has been promoted to the post of captain, and he is holding a promotion banquet in the front yard."

Lan Ju went on to say: "Nurse asked me to come here and tell you that Mr. Su is a handsome man. He has already been promoted to the rank of captain at a young age. He may be promoted to hundreds of households in the future. His future is limitless."

"Mommy said, if you can climb up to a powerful person early, even if you are a concubine, it will be a lifetime blessing."

"See if you can persuade Meiji to present a dance, or present a song to cheer up some distinguished guests."

Tch, what a big deal for a mere school lieutenant.

Xiangxiang curled her lips involuntarily, and then said, "Lan Ju, have you been to the other three oirans?"

"I've already been there."

Lan Ju smiled bitterly: "They all said that their young lady was in poor health, and then refused to attend."

Xiangxiang smiled and said: "Then you go back, my lady also caught the wind and cold today, and she will be resting soon."

When Lan Ju heard this, she could only nod her head, then turned and left.

The oiran of Jiaofang Division has great autonomy.

Since they don't want to go, the Jiaofang Division can't force it.

This is the rule that Jiaofang Division has had since its establishment.

But once the status of oiran is taken off, the Secretary of Jiaofang will forcefully arrange to receive guests
"Hmph, a school captain just wants my lady to join in the fun. She looks ugly and thinks beautifully."

Seeing the back of Lanju turning away, Xiangxiang muttered, then closed the door and walked straight to the inner room.

"Xiangxiang, who is here?"

Meiji continued to embroider the mandarin ducks on the brocade bag, and asked without raising her head.

"It's the Lanju beside Mammy."

Xiangxiang said: "I have already sent her away."

"Oh?"

Mei Ji couldn't help asking: "What is she doing here?"

"It is said that there is a Zhenwu Division in the Zhenwu Division who has been promoted to the position of captain, and wants you to perform a dance to help the fun."

Xiangxiang said: "She also went to the other three oirans, but they were all rejected."

"Nurse also told Lanju that Mr. Su is a handsome man. He has already been promoted to the rank of captain at a young age. He may be promoted to hundreds of households in the future. His future is limitless."

"What kind of future can a mere school lieutenant have? What our lady is looking for must be a hundred households from the Zhenwu Division."

Meiji heard this and laughed and said: "Don't look down on the captain of the Zhenwu Division, besides, those who can be promoted to the position of Zhenwu Division Baihu are at least 40 or [-] years old. Do you want me to find a People who are about the same age as my dead father?"

Just after saying this sentence, Meiji seemed to remember something, her pretty face changed abruptly, and then she said in a trembling voice: "What did you say was the name of the adult who was promoted to the position of captain?"

"Master Su, that's what Lan Ju told me just now." Xiang Xiang looked at her with a puzzled face, not understanding why Mei Ji lost her composure all of a sudden.

Meiji looked at her, and said, "Xiangxiang, tell me, is it possible that Mr. Su, who was promoted to the post of captain, is Mr. Su?"

"impossible?"

Xiangxiang couldn't help saying: "He still looks so young, how could he be promoted to captain?"

"As far as I know, the captains of the Zhenwu Division all need to be promoted to the eighth-rank copper-skin realm. Why can't that guy be a copper-skin realm warrior?"

Although he is not a martial artist, even ordinary people can tell a thing or two about martial arts in this Wei Dynasty, where the country is built on martial arts.

Su Yu is too young, and his family is shabby, so it is impossible for him to be promoted to captain.

Meiji shook her head, and said, "Xiangxiang, go to the front yard to find out, it's best to go to that Mr. Su's box to see who this Mr. Su is, and then come back and tell me."

Xiangxiang said: "Miss."

Seeing this, Meiji raised her eyebrows, glared at her, and said, "Xiangxiang, you don't even listen to me now, do you? Go!"

Xiangxiang shrank her neck when she heard the words.

Only then did she think of Mei Ji's nature, she was not a gentle and gentle woman.

"Oh, then I'll go and have a look now."

After Xiangxiang finished speaking, she hurried out of the inner room, opened the door, and walked towards the front yard.

Seeing Xiangxiang's back going away, Meiji put the kit that was about to be completed on the case, her eyes shone with crystal luster, and she murmured in a low voice: "Could it be him?"

Until the time of a stick of incense passed, Xiangxiang turned back on the moonlight.

"How about it?"

Mei Ji hastily asked: "Is it Young Master Su?"

Xiangxiang took a long breath, and said with a face full of disbelief: "Miss, what a coincidence, it really is that guy!"

"It's just how could he be promoted to the position of captain? He can't have the cultivation level of copper skin. I remember that it is not easy to be promoted to copper skin."

She really couldn't figure out how that guy looked so young, how could he be promoted to the post of captain.

Meiji's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said anxiously: "Xiangxiang, go and get my moon robe and qin, I have to present a song to Mr. Su, and congratulate him on being promoted to the captain."

Xiangxiang couldn't help but said, "But miss, I already told Lan Ju that you caught a cold tonight."

"Then treat me as sick and go to the officials to help the fun."

Meiji glanced at her dissatisfied, and continued: "Xiangxiang, happiness is in your own hands. Since Mr. Su is unwilling to take the initiative, then we have to do it ourselves!"

"Oh."

Xiangxiang nodded, and then followed Meiji's instructions to remove her moon robe and piano.

After drinking three rounds and eating five flavors, the atmosphere in the whole box became extremely harmonious.

"Buddhist, old bustard, where's the old bustard?"

Ji Longcheng seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Call the bustard over quickly, let her call the oiran over, why has it been so long, and there is no letter at all?"

"That's right, call the bustard over!"

"Madam"

In the box, a maid immediately took orders to leave.

After a while, the bustard came to the box again with the maid.

"My lords, I'm really sorry. I just asked someone to invite them, but it's a coincidence that the four oirans are weak and have contracted the cold."

The old procuress smiled embarrassingly and said: "In order to avoid contagion to the masters, the four oirans have already rested early, and I am afraid that they will not be able to attend the banquet tonight."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

How could it be such a coincidence that the four oirans were all infected with the cold?

This was just an excuse for the oiran not wanting to attend the banquet.

The old bustard also had no choice, the four oirans were unwilling to come, and the Jiaofang Secretary had no way to force it.

Of course, as long as she is no longer the oiran next year, then there is no such a saying that she cannot be forced.

"Buddhist, you don't have to make excuses for the four oirans."

Ji Longcheng chuckled and said, "How could it be such a coincidence that the four oirans all caught the cold tonight?"

"I see, they just look down on Mr. Su, and think that a captain is not worthy of their presence to help them have fun, am I right?"

The bustard's tone faltered: "Uh"

"My lords, I'm really sorry. You must come to the Jiaofang Division often, and you should have a certain understanding of the rules of the Jiaofang Division."

The old bustard smiled shyly and said: "The Secretary of the Jiaofang can't force the oiran to do anything she doesn't want to do. If they don't want to attend, then I have nothing to do. Please bear with me, or I will let last year or Miss Qingluo from Huakui of Jiaofang will present a song to cheer you up?"

The oiran of last year's Jiaofang?

When everyone heard this, their complexions couldn't help but become a little weird.

The oiran from last year, it is estimated that since her oiran's name is no longer there, this year she has changed into the shape of countless people, right?
Even the corners of Su Yu's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he didn't want to make things difficult for the bustard, so he said with a smile: "Buddhist, there's no need to let Qingluo come over to cheer you up, since the four oiran girls don't want to come, then let them, and you too Go about your business."

"Eh."

The old bustard said with a smile: "Please take care of me, I will go down first."

At this moment, Lan Ju from outside the box came in, and said quickly: "Nurse, Miss Meiji is here."

Ok?
Everyone's expressions couldn't help changing when they heard the words, and the noise in the box stopped abruptly.

Miss Meiji?

Now Mei Ji, who is the most popular in Tai'an City, has a reputation that directly overshadows the other three oirans, and has been passed down by the people in the city as the number one oiran in contemporary Tai'an City?

She was willing to attend Su Yu's promotion banquet?
Even the bustard couldn't help being stunned.

She never expected that Meiji would come to rescue her.

"Why don't you invite her in quickly." The bustard lowered her voice.

"Yes."

Lan Ju turned and left again.

All the people in the box loosened their arms around the girl in an instant, adjusted their appearance, sat upright, and looked like a gentleman.

Seeing this scene, Su Yu couldn't help being taken aback.

These guys couldn't have mistakenly thought that Mei Ji could take a fancy to them, right?

"Sure enough, every man always has a kind of self-confidence about his appearance."

Su Yu slandered endlessly.

"Masters, I didn't expect Miss Meiji to come over."

The old bustard said with a smile: "Miss Meiji from the Jiaofang Division has now become the number one oiran in Tai'an with a gift to Meiji. Now Miss Meiji is known by everyone in Tai'an City. I don't know."

"My lords, there must be a girl named Meiji to join in the fun. Everyone will return home with a lot of fun at this high promotion banquet tonight."

Both Lu Ze and Lin Canglan looked puzzled.

For the arrogance of the oiran, they are obvious to all.

Ever since the two were promoted to lieutenant, the entertainment between their peers was indispensable.

This kind of high promotion banquet has always been held in the Jiaofang Division.

After all, the deepening of friendship between men is nothing more than at the wine table, with women.

At the wine table, seeing everyone's ugly appearance after being drunk is a way of deepening mutual trust in itself.

As for women, it can play a show effect to add to the fun.

It is inevitable that there will be lecherous people who will start to fuel the flames in front of everyone, which is also a manifestation of trust in other people participating in this banquet.

But even after participating in so many Gao Sheng Banquets, the two of them have never met the oiran over to add to the fun.

This Meiji's current limelight has overwhelmed the other three oirans.

Even now when the big guys are discussing, only Meiji will be discussed, and the other three courtesans have already been filtered out.

The final situation is that everyone now only recognizes that Mei Ji is the well-deserved oiran of the Jiaofang Division, and she is the only oiran of the Jiaofang Division.

And the reason for all this is the song presented to Mei Ji!

It's just that who wrote the song presented to Meiji has always been a mystery, and Meiji has never told anyone else about it.

Could it be that today's Gaosheng Banquet was attended by some extraordinary people?
The two couldn't help but look around. The people present were almost all familiar people. Who could have the energy to let Miss Meiji come over?
Or, Miss Meiji is because of today's protagonist, Su Yu?

At this moment, Meiji had already arrived at the door of the box holding the piano.

The moment they saw Mei Ji, the eyes of everyone in the box lit up.

Even Su Yu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Such a beautiful woman.

Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even though he had read countless concubines on Douyin in his previous life, Su Yu's heart beat a lot faster the moment Meiji appeared.

At this time, Mei Ji didn't use a veil to cover her face, she directly showed her true colors.

She has a beautiful face, and her long black hair is tied into a bun and hangs behind her.

She has a melon-seeded face, a straight nose, moderately thick lips, eyebrows like mountains, and pupils that are cut in autumn water. The eyes that are shining with water look forward to shine, revealing a natural charm.

She was wearing a moon-white complex gown, which covered her body tightly, but her proud bust and graceful figure made the moon-white gown look convex.

At this moment, all the men present stared blankly.

The moment she appeared, all the women present were instantly eclipsed, like a full moon surrounded by stars.

Everyone's eyes could no longer stay on other women.

Facing the gazes of everyone present, Meiji smiled sweetly, bowed and bowed gracefully, and then said crisply: "Meiji has seen all the officials!"

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help looking at Su Yu in the field with a trace of resentment on her pretty face, and then continued: "I heard that Master Su was promoted to captain today, and Meiji came here specially, and would like to present a song for all the officials. Grandpa can come here tonight with all his joy and return home with all his heart."
