Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 103
For a long time, the thin book boy staggered to the front of the building and shouted: "I have won, all the gentlemen have won, Su Langjun No. 1, Chen Langjun 27, Yu Langjun 55, Dong Langjun Jun 79..."

His voice trembled, and the few scholars fell silent for a moment, lost in thought.

Su Wencheng's hands were shaking a little too!
How many years of hard study, just for the title of the gold list, now that I have my wish, I really can't describe the mixed feelings.

After a while, there were cheers everywhere, Dr. Tea, the shopkeeper, and the surrounding guests congratulated one after another. Dong Zhongwen put on a rich and powerful appearance, and directly rewarded them with mascots made of silver. The idlers begging for work next to them all smiled and were obedient, and spit out a series of festive and auspicious words.

Su Wencheng took a deep breath, squeezed his slightly stiff fingers, and was greatly comforted in his heart. He hurriedly told the servants around him, and hurried back to announce the good news, so that his daughter and boy were also happy.

At this time, Yu Letao's body suddenly froze, lowered his voice, bent down, and whispered: "Don't be too public, be careful, the servants on the list below have not finished their journey, let's withdraw."

Su Wencheng thought so deeply, there was no other way, there were too many monks and too many servants, and there would always be those who robbed people and still lingered below. In the end, even five or 60-year-old old men might be snatched away. , in the eyes of many people, they are not afraid of being older, but they may love the bride more.

A few people sneaked downstairs, agreed on a reunion time, and walked home happily.

Su Wencheng was happily going to share his success with his children, but he didn't know that his precious daughter was not at home.

Although the name of the Jiaofang Division is not good, it is also a place for fun, but it is not comparable to ordinary brothels. Speaking of which, the teachers in this place are also paid by the imperial court. The middle school staff should also give some thin noodles.

But even so, this place is not a place for a girl from a good family to come to.

Su Tong came today, but he didn't enter the gate of Jiaofang Division, but had a 'private meeting' with Li Shishi, the most famous leader of Jiaofang Division, in the Fortune Inn opposite to Jiaofang Division.

Grand Court

This is the upper room of the Fortune Inn. I don't know it is elegant and refined. It is even more elegant and quiet than the boudoir of the daughter of a high-ranking official. Fangsi stays overnight, and sometimes female prostitutes will bring good men to this inn to enjoy themselves. The rooms in the inn are also mostly arranged in the direction of "elegance". There are no gold, silver and jade ornaments, and there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table. , all kinds of calligraphy and painting scrolls are hung on the wall, and the colors are all warm. There are very few bright red and green that are very popular now.

This Yalan Residence has been reserved by Li Shishi for many years. She only comes here to rest for a while when she is tired or wants to be quiet and quiet. She is free on weekdays and never lets others live in it.

At this time, it was almost dusk, red candles were lit in the room, Li Shishi cleaned his hands, sat in front of the table, looked at Yaoqin on the table, she was wearing a turquoise soft smoke skirt today, and the inside was snow-white wipes. The chest made her look even more beautiful. At this moment, she held her chin and looked at Su Tong who was sitting on the couch and was seriously tuning the piano.

Su Tong didn't dress up seriously, but he used a little rouge and lipstick, but he was so beautiful that people couldn't take his eyes off him, especially when he was sitting there, slack, but his waist was as thin as a trickle, and he was graceful and graceful , completely natural, its peerless elegance is very comparable.

"After all, you are young, no matter how good-looking!" Li Shishi smiled, "It's your piano, your playing is really average, um, you have been studying for half a month, and you haven't made much progress, which means you don't have much talent, you still have to learn It's better to hide your clumsiness."

Su Tong played the piano casually, and it was actually pretty good. Compared with ordinary ladies, he was far from comparable to Li Shishi. Li Shishi was immersed in this way. After all, she has been relying on this for more than [-] years. There are so many people in Jiaofang who are talented and talented, so she thinks that Su Tong's piano is very ordinary.

"I didn't even think how good my playing was." Su Tong didn't care. She just habitually wanted to get something for everything she did. Li Shishi personally came to the door for the problems of people in the 21st century, and hoped that Su Tong Tong was able to write a few special librettos for their Jiaofang Division, and asked her sisters to sing.

Su Tong thought about it, but he didn't refuse. Anyway, she is 'Mr. Nanke' and she can't hide it from the Jiaofang Secretary who is the most sensitive to these matters. Naturally, she is willing to do things that are mutually beneficial. Besides, the story of Jiaofang Secretary There are so many, it is not difficult for her to find themes here.

However, after listening to a lot of stories about Jiaofangsi, Su Tong is really tired of aesthetics.Almost every female prostitute described her own life experience in an extremely miserable way, and said that she was extremely pitiful, and all of them were very skillful in telling the story, with few loopholes, obviously not just telling it once or twice.

"If Master Li hadn't agreed to teach me how to play the piano, I really didn't want to listen to it anymore. Could it be that all of you here are all strange women whose family backgrounds have declined and who have no choice but to fall into prostitution?"

Su Tong sighed, and couldn't help muttering, she would be terribly annoyed by listening to a dozen stories about changing the soup but not the medicine in one night.Li Shishi laughed: "This is Jiaofang Secretary, and it is true that most of them are ladies, unlike the brothel brothels outside, those whores often tell heart-breaking stories, most of them are fake, of course, don't worry about Jiaofang The company is still a brothel outside. All the female prostitutes and female prostitutes tell stories. Most of them are just to make people feel sympathetic and pity, and to attract men's attention. No."

"Wouldn't it bother those officials to listen to this?"

"Who would take the words of these women seriously?" Li Shishi laughed at himself, even the prostitutes of the Jiaofang Division are just objects for people to play with.

Su Tong has been learning the piano with Li Shishi for more than half a month, and he will come here when he is free. Anyway, Li Shishi is not busy now, and the guests she can meet are very few, and the value is high. Naturally, he must learn to take Joe , can't be seen by anyone, then it's worthless.

Not to mention, she still likes to deal with women like Li Shishi, even though she can get along very well with the eldest princess and the relatives of those dignitaries and nobles, and can make those people like her, but in this society, I'm afraid Only the heads of Jiaofangsi still have a bit of modern female demeanor.

These people can no longer be simply described by the word prostitute. According to Su Tong's understanding, they are all stars and people who lead the fashion trend of this era.Perhaps, this is also an important reason why Su Tong agreed to write a libretto for the prostitutes of Jiaofang Division to sing.

Su Tong threw down the yaoqin and sat on the beautiful woman's couch that had been smoked crookedly and smelled very good. He was planning to talk to everyone about the headdresses and costumes that are popular in the capital recently, especially the ones that ladies in the court like, so that she can The protagonist in the story can also keep up with the form, only to hear a few knocks on the door outside.

Before Li Shishi could answer, Li Shishi's envoy Cuiping, who was guarding outside, said: "Senior sister, Mrs. Su, Mr. Su Lang has won, ranked first, people from the house are here to invite you back."

Li Shishi was taken aback, and quickly showed a congratulatory expression, and sighed: "Su Langjun is a great talent, last year he was Jieyuan, and this year he won the prize, it should be taken for granted." Even so, she couldn't help feeling a little strange in her heart , she is also the daughter of an official family, and she also had a fiancé who was once a Jinshi, but it was pitiful, overnight, the world was turned upside down, her father was exiled, and the female relatives were sold into Jiaofangsi. The daughter of the family has become a prostitute with only superficial appearance.

Looking at Su Tong at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little 'jealous' in my heart. Fortunately, Li Shishi is old. After more than ten years of living like this, he is used to it after all, and he is well-informed. This kind of dark emotion comes quickly and goes away It's also fast.

"Congratulations, congratulations, my little lady should go back quickly today. I think the family is busy, so it's up to the little lady to take care of it."

Su Tong was also taken aback.She didn't doubt that her father could pass the exam, but it was just the first, but it was really not easy. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. There are so many talented people in the capital. .

She was very happy in her heart, and this feeling of joy was ten times, a hundred times stronger than when she was admitted to Professor Mi's doctoral student.

Su Tong took a deep breath, stood up, said goodbye to Li Shishi with a smile, pushed open the door, and walked out step by step. The maid A Zhen was already waiting at the door, and when she saw Su Tong, she quickly put on her body A big cloak, so she went out to protect her, and got into the carriage.

Ah Zhen was so happy that her whole face was glowing.

"Your lord has been selected, No. 1, maybe our lord will become the number one champion in a short time, when the time comes, the Su family will also have a husband, and the young lady will be the daughter of the Xianggong family..."

Ah Zhen was originally a quiet person, always honest and honest, but now she couldn't stop opening her mouth, Su Tong was not annoyed, let alone talking about her, just leaning against the car window, silently thinking about the future.

Her cheap father, Su Wencheng, was only the first step to achieve her goal. The Song Dynasty produced a batch of Jinshi every three years. Even if it was the number one scholar, not every number one scholar would be famous in history, let alone the number one scholar. family members.She still has a lot to do, but for a while, she doesn't know whether her efforts will finally achieve the effect she wants.

When Su Tong came home, she saw her serious father sitting in front of the table. There were a lot of dishes on the table, including chicken, duck, fish, and a large pot of mutton soup.

The servants in the family were all bright-faced, and there was wind under their feet. Aunt Ma seemed to have grown a lot taller.
