Kaiyuan Merry

() There are many guests, and all of them are famous in the literary world, which makes this banquet extremely grand. For Wang Wei, Cui Hao, and Lu Xiang, it is undoubtedly an extremely broad stage. <Back to the beautiful scenery of the recovery of all things on the earth, the shady green trees and the peonies that already have flower buds can be seen at a glance. In the distance, except for the houses for guests to stay, and then the bustling streets, vaguely It can be seen that the Rose Square opposite the Peony Square is also extremely lively.

Looking in from this balcony, it is a specially built stage for actors and actresses to perform on it. If you are in other brothels that mainly sell butchers, you are likely to see people on the stage. Men's blood-filled striptease, among which Orchid's striptease most excited the hearts of men in the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that in this peony workshop, which focuses on elegance and vulgarity, it is basically impossible to have such performances. There are only special traditional entertainment items, and even on this banquet, there are not even prostitutes to accompany the wine , This undoubtedly made Wang Wei, who had just taken the seat, feel regretful while sitting upright and silent.

Wang Wei secretly decided that he must go to a real brothel instead of coming to this bland teaching workshop. In fact, it was a fashion for officials in the Tang Dynasty to spend time with prostitutes.

After all, in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, poetry and prose were one of the contents of the scientific examination. If the poems and essays were well done, they would have the capital to pass the imperial examination; Officials are their abundant aquatic plants; moreover, they not only sell their bodies, they also sing, and singing is a guarantee that they can sell their bodies at a good price, because singing well means that in addition to their appearance, they also have higher artistic attainments , and this is more valued by literati officials.

But what to sing?The poems and songs of these talented Jinshi-born officials who have been named on the gold list are obviously the best works they can only dream of.For ji girls, hanging out with these officials, you can get poems written by officials, and you can increase your popularity through the singing and singing of these officials. Female servants are a huge joy in life in themselves. They can prove the brilliance of their lives, and they can also sing poems through their mouths. This is a win-win strategy for both officials and prostitutes.

Many famous poems in the Tang Dynasty were not only the object of sung by prostitutes, but also circulated for a long time because of the sung by prostitutes.In the Song Dynasty, the famous poet Liu Yong became the object of prostitutes who spared no expense to serve him. Unfortunately, the Song Dynasty had already opposed the official piaoji. The relationship between Liu Yong and prostitutes affected his career development, so he had to write lyrics according to the order. end of life.

There are also officials who give away favors with prostitutes, and some VIPs who pass through the border send prostitutes to sleep.Some officials have a fancy for a prostitute, and they can also lend him to play with. For example, when the famous poet Bai Juyi was appointed as the governor of Hangzhou, he asked Yuan Zhen to borrow Hangzhou prostitute Linglong for more than a month. He had many poems Proudly recorded his behavior of piaoji being a prostitute.Of course, officials will never give up seeking enjoyment from those folks who provide services to the public while they are doing their own business. There are still many famous stories left, such as - a dream of Yangzhou in ten years, won the reputation of the brothel, his boss Niu Sengru secretly sent people to follow and protect him for several years out of concern.

The style of the whole banquet is quite ancient in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. A small square table is placed in front of everyone. There is a cotton cushion in front of the small table for the guests to kneel and sit on. Obviously, no guest would really use the food on the table to fill their stomachs, but toasting and punishing them with alcohol is common. If they can't do it when they are playing the wine order and composing poems, they will naturally be punished with alcohol, and because of respect for a senior, It is also necessary to toast to the seniors.

At the beginning of the banquet, dozens of dancers appeared on the stage and danced the classical dance music. In the ancient times that lacked various entertainment methods, such classical dance music was as popular as the TV programs of later generations. , Many of the guests who attended the meeting watched carefully.

Only Wang Wei finds it very boring, although it must be admitted that these ten dancers are still of a good standard, especially the lead dancer who is dressed in a red dress, looks like a peony, and is like a flame. , It is really pleasing to the eye, the classical elegance of its dance is undoubtedly several times more authentic and perfect than the dances choreographed in those costume TV dramas.

However, as a traveler with modern memories, this dance is quite boring. The most important thing is that the clothes of these dancers are not revealing. Presumably, they also captured the characteristics of the literati who are serious and elegant, but Wang Wei But I feel that if these conservative clothes are turned into looming gauze clothes with a little bit of exposure, the attraction to so-called elegant or vulgar men will definitely be greatly increased.

Although he is not interested, Wang Wei, who is good at disguising, maintains a faint look of appreciation on his face, which makes the hearts of those dancers who secretly discharge Wang Wei, if they can get this handsome and elegant Wang family If you are favored by the young master, your reputation will definitely soar, and if you can marry into the Wang family, you will not be able to escape the prosperity and wealth in this life.

Even though the Hedong Wang Clan is in crisis, to ordinary people, it is still a colossal creature that makes people flock to it.

Of course, the highlight of the banquet has not yet been reached at this time. These dancers can only be regarded as warming up the scene. People will play it immediately, and then it will spread.

Although the Peony House is following an elegant path and is incompatible with many brothels, there are obviously brothels that copy the model of the Peony House. The geisha in these brothels often focus on the Peony House, which is very easy to become famous. Once a famous piece is circulated, it will be sung by each other and become a trend.

Every poet in the Tang Dynasty did not hope that his poems could be spread throughout Chang'an. If it was before the imperial examination, it would be a great help.

When appreciating singing and dancing, unlike Lu Xiang and Cui Hao who are more reserved, Wang Wei, who is well versed in the world, frequently toasts to many big figures in the literary world, and a few subtle compliments can often make others extremely comfortable , I think Wang Wei really knows how to be a man.

After knowing that the white-haired old man next to He Zhizhang is Zhang Ruoxu, although he has gradually become accustomed to being surrounded by various celebrities, he still can't help but feel excited. After all, Zhang Ruoxu's brilliantly written song "Moonlight on the Spring River" is really famous Yes, it seems that Wang Wei learned it when he was in high school in his previous life, and he still remembers that sentence——Life is endless from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar year after year.

Just when Wang Wei was being shrouded in the celebrity aura of Zhang Ruoxu, a great poet, he heard two young people who were not well-known in the literary world suddenly discuss excitedly:

"It's time for Red Peony to appear next. I've long wanted to hear her melodious singing like a lark..."

"Well, Red Peony, as the oiran pillar of the entire Peony Square, is one of the two most well-known masters in Chang'an. With the face of Mr. He, he will definitely appear on the stage, and the Master Li brought by King Qi will also show up. Accompanying her, this can make her more famous, I really look forward to it!"

"Hmph, I don't think a flirtatious guy like Xue Rushuang can compete with Hong Mudan, a pure gentleman who relies entirely on his singing voice. You know, this Hong Mudan is qualified to be selected into the inner teaching workshop, but he took the initiative Give up, such a beautiful girl yearning for freedom is really rare..."

"No, no, since you are a member of Le Ji, you naturally have to be conscious of being a member of Le Ji. Why pretend to be noble? Although Hong Mudan is a noble lady, there will always be a day when she will leave the court. Her current posture is just to let It’s just that my own value has increased even more, thinking that before Xue Rushuang came out of the cabinet, didn’t she also claim to be a showman but not a person, but Wang Shouyi, the son of the head of the dynasty, spent a lot of money on his first night, so why didn’t he take him down anyway?”

"Uh... Anyway, I don't think Hong Mudan is such a person..."

"Wake up, it's just that you don't have the money and power to make him bow down. I hope that Hong Mudan can be like that Xue Rushuang. In this case, I can kiss Fangze with a few thousand coins in the future, hehe..." Yiguanqian is equal to 10 Wenqian, which can buy a hundred buckets of rice, which is enough to feed a family of four for a month. Calculated in RMB (one penny equals about [-] cents), it costs several [-] yuan to play the oiran Xue Rushuang once. Of course, it does not mean that if you have money, you can go to the oiran, the premise is that you must first be attracted by the oiran.)

……

Hearing the discussion between these two people by chance, Wang Wei couldn't help being a little curious about the famous red peony. Anyway, it was the first time he saw the famous oiran in Chang'an back in the Tang Dynasty. An international star in the world, after all, Chang'an is the richest center in the world, and being able to gain a foothold in Chang'an is equivalent to gaining a foothold in the center of the world.

Of course, Wang Wei is still looking forward to Li Guinian, a well-known musician. Although Wang Wei himself is good at playing the guqin and pipa, his level is only middle and low, and he is naturally considered a leader among his peers. Compared with the real masters, there is a big difference. If you want to improve your music level to a higher level, it is still necessary to learn from Li Guinian, a master of music.

When everyone was looking forward to the red peony, the classical dance music that made Wang Wei almost drowsy finally faded away, and the Tang Dynasty beauty who led Wang Wei here acted as the master of ceremonies. When Peony came out, she had unspeakable pride on her face, as if the glory of Red Peony belonged to her.

This made Wang Wei guess that this Tang Dynasty beauty probably has a lot to do with the red peony.
