Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"What!" Not only Yunqing, but even Xiaohuan standing at the door couldn't help but whisper.

Su Mu smiled: "Help you regain the title of Oiran."

This smile was calm and calm, with a kind of incomparable self-confidence in the smile.

Thinking back to the way he walked in the door and talked freely, for some reason, Yun Qing felt a little bit of trust in his heart.

At this time, Xiaohuan at the door suddenly sneered: "When did Mr. Su come to the capital?"

Su Mu replied: "It's been about two months. I went to Tongzhou last month. I just returned from the provincial examination in Beizhili. I plan to live in the capital forever."

Xiaohuan continued to ask: "Master, have you heard of Long Zai's name before?"

Su Mu shook his head: "I haven't heard of it before, that is, I had a fate when I went to Tongzhou to take the exam this time."

"That's no wonder!" Xiaohuan sneered a little louder: "How much do you know about Long Mingqing?"

Su Mu thought for a while, and answered according to his own knowledge of him: "His essays are good." This is true. Earlier in the teahouse, when listening to the group of scholars reciting the essays written by Long Zai in the provincial examination, Su Mu felt that this guy might not be so good. His character is terrible, but the stereotyped essays are well done, at least three points better than himself.

As for poetry, not so much.Perhaps it is quasi-first-class in Ming poetry, but apart from Yang Shen's "Rolling Yangtze River to the East, The Waves Eliminate Heroes" and Yu Qian's "Lime Song", there are no masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.

"So that's how it is!" Xiaohuan glared at Su Mu angrily, "It turns out that you don't know that Long Zai is not only a good writer, but also a master of poetry. Can you surpass Long Mingqing in poetry? Speaking of which, compared to my girl, Yanniang's singing voice is a bit jerky, but she is only good at dancing. It is not because there is a dragon writing lyrics for her. The world is greedy for new things. Song Ci and Yuan Qu have been around for hundreds of years, and the famous pieces of them have been sung tens of thousands of times. I lost interest in listening to it. For some reason, Yan Niang’s charming son voted for Long Zai to write new words for her. Everyone in the capital knows that you can write better words than Long Mingqing. Poems?"

Su Mu didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "Is Long Zai's poems very good?"

What the little girl said just now made sense, but Mingren's words were not very good.Now the brothel singers still sing the old songs of the Song people.

Although Song Ci is a classic, it can't hold you back for hundreds of years.

Places like "Wanhualou" and "Luoyi Pavilion" are not gradually becoming a brothel as the world imagines.In fact, not even high-end clubs.If you really want to compare, it's a bit like a performing arts company in later generations, and Yunqing and Yanniang are the stars of the company.

This kind of high-level entertainer sells his art but not his body. In the eyes of the world, especially scholars, he is simply a kind of existence like a big star in the future.As for trading in flesh and blood, it's too inferior, and you can't make much money.To put it bluntly, the income of a prostitute in a lower-class kiln selling her body for a lifetime may not be comparable to that of Yanniang, Yunqing and the others drinking a cup of tea with the scholars.

Because of the particularity of this high-end brothel, the requirements for the talent of the brothels inside are very strict.

Playing the piano and singing must be practiced, and proficiency in music is the primary quality.

But music is such a thing, no matter how good a song is, if you listen to it too much, you will get tired of it, and it is an old song from hundreds of years ago.According to the research of later generations, a good pop song only needs to be listened to a hundred times repeatedly from novelty to fascination to boredom.

One hundred times is a critical point.

Also because of this, singing new words and having a first-class creative team are the decisive factors for a high-level Qingguan to become an oiran.

"What a big breath, is it possible that you can also write lyrics, and can write better than Long Mingqing?" Xiaohuan looked at Su Mu's appearance, and suddenly felt a little displeased: "I understand, you come to us, I just want to say that you are better than Long Zai. You boast and are not afraid of being laughed at. Long Mingqing became famous at a young age, and his poems were sung for a while in the place where the people in Jiangnan were at their peak. Some people said that he would succeed Tang Bohu who had retired from the literary world, and become Jiangnan The fifth most talented person. In my opinion, let alone the five great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, Mr. Long might become the leader of the poetry world after the seventh son. Whoever you are, you want to compete with the dragon in poetry, unless You are one of the seven sons. Seeing that you are so young, you don't look like one of the seven sons, do you?"

"I am not one of the seven seniors. Su Mu has admired the seven seniors for a long time. However, I am somewhat sure that Shenglong will be there."

"Su Mu, your name is Su Mu Su Ziqiao?" Xiaohuan suddenly called out.

"It's me." Su Mu didn't expect the little girl's reaction to be so strong, and felt a little strange.

Xiaohuan suddenly had a fit, pulled out the feather duster from the vase and waved it at Su Mu: "So it's you scum, go, go, my girl doesn't want to see a gentle scum like you!"

Seeing the little maid's behavior so outrageous, Yun Qing frowned: "Xiaohuan, don't be rude, how can we be so unruly?"

Xiaohuan gritted her teeth and said, "Girl, why have you forgotten? Recently, there is a joke circulating among the scholars in the capital, saying that a man named Su Mu Su Ziqiao got an isolated copy of the Song Dynasty from somewhere, and put a song in it. Song Ci is said to be his own, and he competed with Long Mingqing for fame, and was eventually exposed by others and became a laughingstock of scholars. Isn’t this person right in front of us? Sneaky scum, scumbag, you liar, you are deceiving us Yes, how bold!"

"Ah, so he is Su Ziqiao!" As a top star in the capital's social circle, Yun Qing naturally knew about this, and suddenly stood up with a look of disbelief.

"Someone is coming, someone is coming!" Xiaohuan yelled angrily.

A group of thugs ran over quickly and asked, "Miss Xiaohuan, what's the matter?"

"Hurry up, get this liar out!" Xiaohuan said anxiously, and then specifically warned: "Don't tell people that he is here to see Miss Yunqing, otherwise, if it gets out, the girl's reputation will be ruined!"

Yun Qing is also a former oiran after all, and now her career is underestimated.But one can't fall down on airs, but it is very important to see who the guests are.If people know that she and Su Mu, a huge liar in the literary world, have a very happy conversation, the grade will be lowered all of a sudden, how can she turn around in the future?

Hearing her yelling, Su Mu immediately understood that this situation is like an international superstar in the post-modern world, because his career is not going well, he borrowed advertisements for Durex or sanitary napkins, and lost his position.

Seeing the thugs staring at him like a tiger, Su Mu was also very unhappy: This dragon is in the bird man, it really hurts me, and the stigma on me is so resounding.It seems that if this reputation is not washed away as soon as possible, there will be no way to survive in this world in the future.But if someone kicked him out of the building, wouldn't it be a waste of time to come here today?
