The heavens begin to realize the Tao and become gods from the divine carving

Chapter 123 Lantern Gathering
It's really lively when I come to the place where the lantern assembly is held!There was an endless flow of people and noisy voices, and there were many self-proclaimed talents on the street waving pleated fans in their hands.

There are also many girls and young ladies traveling together on the street!

Jiang Chen also took the fan and started shaking it. Many girls looked shy after seeing him, mainly because he looked at other girls for nothing.

Lu Wushuang saw his pig's head and angrily pinched his waist.

"Does it look good? Do you want me to go over and ask you if she is interested in you?"

"It's not as good-looking as yours. I just appreciate it, just like seeing bright flowers, I can't help but look at them a few times. This is human nature."

"You're just quibbling."

"It's the truth."

The business at the "Festival of Lanterns" is very prosperous, with all kinds of peddlers and pawns, and all kinds of snack stalls.

There are candied haws sold in front, and I bought two bunches, one for each of them.

Wushuang couldn't remember how long it had been since she ate, but her eyes were clouded with mist as she ate, as if she wanted to cry.

"What's wrong."

"I remembered that my father was carrying me behind his back, leading me to buy candied haws..."

"Don't be sad, I'll buy you whatever you want in the future."

"Ah."

There are lantern riddles guessing in this "Lantern Gathering", and those who guess correctly can get prizes.

There were a lot of people in front, especially men, and there was something lively to watch, so the two ran over to see it together out of curiosity.

Looking up, there is a big plaque, "Zuihualou". There are many girls in colorful clothes on both sides of the downstairs.
"What's the matter, brother, why are there so many people gathered here?"

"You're from out of town. I'm telling you that Yin Susu, the courtesan of Zuihualou, is going to pick up guests. As long as you pass her test, you can see her and listen to her playing the piano to accompany the wine."

"Brother, what kind of test is this, and what is the beauty of this courtesan Yin Susu?"

Lu Wushuang is not interested in these, and she doesn't want Jiang Chen to participate.

"I heard that this Yin Susu has the appearance of sinking fish and wild geese, and that the moon is ashamed of flowers. Many romantic talents spare no money, just to see her, and the so-called test is to answer her riddles and couplets. Those who pass the final will be able to see her. I It’s because I don’t have this talent, otherwise I would like to try.”

In ancient times, courtyards were not as gorgeous and gaudy as seen in current film and television works. From the outside, they were just a simple building or a few rooms.

In fact, most brothels are a general term for a large courtyard, and the buildings inside are more particular: there are usually trees such as poplars and willows in front of the door, and the scenery of running water is usually indispensable in front of the window, and the flowers, Pleasant places like pools are also essential.

In the girls' Accord, the furnishings are very elegant, not shabby, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones are must-haves, antique porcelain and other furnishings are also necessary, and the screen in front of the bed is also very delicate.

The women in ancient brothels are not secular and dirty, and there are many top-quality women among them, and most of the top-quality women are geisha. very prominent.Su Xiaoxiao, Yu Xuanji, Yan Rui, Li Xiangjun, etc. are all extraordinary women.They danced and sang songs, recited poems, and recited lyrics, all of which were extremely elegant things.

Not everyone can see the top card or red card girl in Qinglou, and it's not something you can do if you have money.Because these brothel girls who have won the reputation of oiran, once they become famous, there will be many powerful and wealthy people as their backers.

Generally speaking, they are not casual visitors.Even if some guests were lucky enough to meet them, they were all polite and did not dare to touch them.

This Yin Susu has the same name as Yin Susu in "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji". I don't know if her beauty is as exaggerated as it is said, but he is a little interested in it.

"Brother, you look handsome, and you look like a scholar. You can give it a try."

"Try what, my husband, let's go."

Lu Wushuang didn't want Jiang Chen to go to this kind of place, let alone see Yin Susu.

Jiang Chen didn't want to make Wushuang angry, so he wanted to go with her, when an annoying voice came.

"This Yin Susu is not something that cats and dogs can see whenever they want. Besides, I think you have a superficial appearance and a stomach full of idiots. Only you can't pass the first test."

Before Jiang Chen could speak, Lu Wushuang couldn't bear it anymore.

"Where did you jump out of the wild dog, the dog can't spit out ivory."

Jiang Chen looked at this person who was mocking him, and saw that he was wearing a shirt, with a weak figure, holding a folding fan in his hand, he looked like a scholar dressed up.

"The shirt is made of white fine cloth, with a round neck and large sleeves, and a horizontal skirt underneath.

In the Song Dynasty, men's uniforms were usually shaved shirts.The so-called gown is a sleeveless long gown with a round neck or cross-collar on the top, and a horizontal gown at the bottom to show the old system of upper garment and lower garment.Its wide range can be taken by officials who live in enshrinement, return to their hometowns or low-level officials.Generally, fine cloth is commonly used, the color is white, and the waist is tied.There are also those who do not use horizontal lace, so-called straight body or straight lace, whichever is more comfortable and light to wear at home.

This book looks handsome, but compared with Jiang Chen, it feels like a wild duck meets a swan.

"We don't know this brother, why do you want to belittle him?"

"You and I don't know each other. It's just that I don't like you. I believe in my own feelings. You must have no ink."

This guy is straightforward, just because he sees himself as unhappy.

Probably because he was jealous that Jiang Chen was handsomer than him, he mistakenly thought that Jiang Chen was also a scholar, so the so-called literati look down on each other.

"If you talk nonsense again, I will cut off your tongue."

"It's unbearably rude and degrading."

"Sir, you also go to this test to see who is the idiot."

"Look at him standing still and not talking, he must be afraid of making a fool of himself later, I think you should go look elsewhere."

"Hey, judging by your appearance, you should be famous."

"That's right, I'm a scholar now."

Xiucai are the highest-level leaders that ordinary people can come into contact with in ancient times.

In terms of locality, the proportion of scholars in society is basically the same as that of today's doctors; their social status is equivalent to that of ordinary civil servants.He has the privileges of tax exemption, not kneeling when meeting officials, and exempting from punishment in court.

Locally, they can serve as lecturers in schools and private schools at all levels, and they can also serve as informal power positions such as tax collection and public security in county-level yamen; if they have outstanding ability or strong background, they can also serve as formal official positions such as Jiaoyu (Zhengbapin) .

This is amazing. The previous imperial examinations were like the current college entrance examinations. It was more difficult than the current college entrance examinations. It was a great achievement to be able to take the exams.

Guangzong Yaozu, respected by others, in the ancient times that valued literature over martial arts, it was an ideal choice for many people to study and obtain fame.
