The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 120

When everyone saw Wu Kui from the Xuefu Academy pick up the wine glass, they knew that he had something to say.

King Jin didn't speak, but nodded slightly, motioning for him to speak.

Wu Kui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the ten poems just now have been written, and now it's time to choose a new theme. Caomin has a suggestion, do you want to talk about it?"

The King of Jin nodded: "Today, everyone is discussing poetry with Qushui Liushang, what can't we talk about?"

"Prince Shengming, in fact, Caomin wants to set the next theme as prostitutes."

"Prostitute?"

As soon as Wu Kui said this, many scholars were stunned. Such a theme is novel, and they have never done it before.

Sitting by the stream, Liu Wei was a little surprised. Of course, it would be easier for him to talk about it if someone else brought up this topic, but since Wu Kui is from the academy, he had to be more cautious.

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, although the status of women in brothels was low, they had not yet been associated with unbearable words. The court sergeant-bureaucrats always invited prostitutes to join them in banquets, so when Wu Kui said this, he didn’t feel that It's shameful, but he thinks it's something so elegant that it can't be more elegant.

Of course, what he is even more proud of is that on this topic, Liu Wei will be unlucky. Later, he will find a way to let Liu Wei write lyrics, and whether Liu Wei agrees to write or not, he will be ashamed.

If Liu Wei does not agree to write it, people will inevitably think that he is not talented enough, and the previous ones are just for fame; and if Liu Wei agrees to write it, how will he write the words related to prostitutes?He is the son-in-law, and his poems about prostitutes will inevitably be criticized by others, and everyone will even publicize the matter of Liu Wei's ransom for Xiaodie.

Although Liu Wei didn't stumble on that matter last time, it's hard to say whether Liu Wei will be safe and sound if he takes it out now.

After Wu Kui finished speaking, the scholars and scholars present discussed for a while and then happily settled down. After they settled down, Su Tongkan ordered someone to call a prostitute not far away.

Since the theme of the show is a prostitute, it is necessary to find a prostitute to come to the scene, because this will broaden the minds of everyone and open up their inspiration.

Not long after, a woman holding a pipa was brought in. The woman had a graceful figure and a delicate face. She was the kind of woman that a man would fall in love with at a glance. The woman was treated with strange sunlight by so many scholars. Looking at it, I couldn't help being a little shy, and couldn't help but lowered my head.

The woman is a little shy, a little nervous, even a little angry, but she can't be angry, she is a prostitute, her fate is doomed, she is a man's plaything, and now she is looked at by a man, what does she have? how?

The woman lowered her head, probably thinking of her life experience, the corners of her eyes suddenly became soft, but she couldn't be seen by others, so her head was even lower.

The prostitute had already been invited, and those scholars looked her over carefully, and the quick-witted one already had an idea, so he took a sip from the wine glass, and immediately recited a poem.

Of course, this poem can’t be said to be good or bad, but it’s a bit inferior in terms of structure and realm. He thinks that prostitutes are low in status and are men’s playthings. Naturally, the emotion or realm of his poems can’t be high. The woman's shy face is so beautiful and moving.

One scholar gave up, and other scholars followed suit.

In a blink of an eye, eight or nine people have composed eight or nine poems. Seeing this, Wu Kui knew that the time had come, so he looked at Liu Weiwei: "Just now, Concubine Liu wrote a Yanghua Ci, which really opened my eyes. , I wonder if you can write another song for me?"

As soon as Wu Kui said this, the seductive woman who had her head down couldn't help but raised her head. Liu Wei is so talented, it is really her honor to write Liu Weiruo's first lyric for her, and she also has a faint feeling With a little expectation, what kind of words will the most famous talent in the capital make?

But don't be the same as those scholars who were like apprentices just now.

When the woman in the dust raised her head, there was a hint of surprise in her bright eyes, Liu Wei's eyes just collided with it, and her heart jumped involuntarily, and the woman in the dust was even more shy, and couldn't help but lowered her head again.

Princess Ruyi sits next to Liu Wei, frowning slightly. Princess Ruyi is a smart person. When she heard Wu Kui's words, she knew what Wu Kui wanted to do. He clearly wanted to see Liu Wei make a fool of himself, no matter Liu Wei Whether you do it or not, you can't please.

At this time, Princess Ruyi really wanted to go forward and slap Wu Kui twice, but as the princess, how could she slap a scholar in front of so many people?When the emperor treated scholars very preferentially, and never killed scholars, she was even more afraid.

She had no choice but to cast her eyes on Liu Wei, and she could only listen to Liu Wei what to do now.

Liu Wei smiled lightly, as if he didn't realize Wu Kui's sinister intentions at all. Princess Ruyi wanted to remind her, but she felt that it was unnecessary. Who is her son-in-law? Can you not see what Wu Kui means?
Just when Princess Ruyi was hesitating, Liu Wei picked up the wine glass in the stream, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Okay!"

Wu Kui, Murong Bo and the others were overjoyed when they heard Liu Wei say yes, Liu Wei said yes, that is what he had to do, since he did it, he would have to be criticized by others, a son-in-law actually did it for The prostitute wrote the lyrics, how do people see it when it is spread?And if it is connected with Liu Wei's helping Xiaodie to redeem her life before, everyone will have to doubt Liu Wei's character and personality.

King Jin and Su Tongjian frowned slightly after hearing Liu Wei's words. They are the few people among these people who know the inside story, so they are very clear about what Wu Kui means, and Liu Wei may be difficult to clear up this time. stigma on himself.

But they didn't open their mouths to stop, and they didn't know why, when they saw Liu Wei, they felt that there was nothing in this world that could make Liu Wei fall apart, as if the aura exuded by Liu Wei could give people a sense of happiness. An indescribable peace of mind.

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he was not in a hurry to compose lyrics, but looked at the prostitute and asked, "Miss Fang's name?"

The woman in the dust raised her head slightly and glanced at Liu Wei, a little nervous, but she still replied: "My slave Du Qiuniang."

Liu Wei nodded slightly, but he didn't mean to write lyrics, but the scholars and scholars next to him started talking, why did they ask this and that when they wrote lyrics?They didn't understand what Liu Wei was going to do, but the words of those who were jealous of Liu Wei were a bit vicious.

"This Concubine Liu asks and asks, is it because he can't come up with a word to delay time?"

"Who said it wasn't..."

"…………"

The people next to him talked a lot, but Liu Wei seemed to have never heard of it. After smiling slightly, he looked at Du Qiuniang again and asked, "Why did Miss Du fall into prostitution?"

Du Qiuniang was taken aback again, she has been in prostitution for so long, and has sung for many men, but that man asked her why she was in prostitution?Those men didn't treat her as a human being, let alone respect her, but the man in front of her only said a few words, which made her feel indescribably kind and moved.

"My family... my family was sold into a brothel by my family." Du Qiuniang's life experience is pitiful, but she is unwilling to talk about it in front of so many people. Although she is a prostitute, she also has a strong heart. He didn't want to use his life experience to win the sympathy of everyone.

Liu Wei saw that Du Qiuniang only said a short sentence and stopped talking, which surprised him a little. He thought that Du Qiuniang was born in a pitiful life, and he would take this opportunity to complain loudly, but she didn't. In her heart, even Is there also a trace of noble stubbornness?
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, but she still didn't intend to write a lyrics. The people next to her were a little impatient. Just now they were discussing in a low voice, but now they are asking clearly.

"Liu Concubine, if you want to write lyrics, hurry up and do it. Why are you asking so much nonsense?"

"Yeah, maybe it can't be done..."

Facing those people's questioning, Liu Wei only twitched his lips in disdain, and his gesture was full of contempt, which made those people feel despised, but they couldn't get angry.

Liu Wei turned to Du Qiuniang again and asked, "Do you have any wishes?"

"I..." How could Du Qiuniang have no wish, but she stopped when she was about to say it. She didn't think anyone here would fulfill her wish, and what she said would only increase the laughing stock of others.

"It's okay, Miss Du has any wishes, but tell me."

Du Qiuniang hesitated for a moment, but finally expressed her wish.

"My family... I wish to be an ordinary woman."

After Du Qiuniang finished speaking, she lowered her head again. For a prostitute like her, even the simple wish of an ordinary woman is sometimes impossible. These people around are mocking.

Isn't it ridiculous that a prostitute wants to marry someone?
There were indeed people around who made fun of him, but Liu Wei started to compose his lyrics, and he did not stop at all.

Liu Wei's word is divination:

It's not love Fengchen, it seems to be mistaken by the front.Flowers bloom from time to time, always the monarch of Lai Dong.

You must go, and how to live!If the mountain flowers are full of heads, don't ask where the slaves go.

When Liu Wei's poem was uttered, it didn't immediately cause a sensation, at least not as big as the Yanghua Ci just now, but after a while, everyone was lost in thought. With a few words, the helplessness of a prostitute is vividly described, and when you taste it carefully, there is an indescribable bitterness.

And when tasting the words, when I think of the questions Liu Wei asked just now, I feel sublimated again.

The whole word does not describe how bitter the life of the prostitute is, but when I read it, I feel lonely and helpless like overwhelming, and the sentence of Ruodeshanhua full of hair describes the desire of the prostitute so elegantly and casually.

The contemplation lasted for a long time until a person spoke.
