"Shh!"
Everyone immediately looked at him.
This man is Xu Bin, the second son of the commander of the Kyoto garrison.
Xu Bin remembers.
His father once said, after drinking,
The Crown Prince's guard commander has been replaced by a woman.
Moreover, that woman was exceptionally beautiful and possessed extraordinary skills.
He's a ninth-rank master!
Therefore, Xu Bin looked at Jing Ni upstairs,
Suddenly, he uttered something astonishing.
"Gentlemen, this young master from the Brocade Pavilion looks a lot like that person."
He didn't say it directly.
He dipped his finger in wine and wrote the character "太" on the table!
Sitting here, the spare few groups of nine (three) no fools investigate (six) feed, (four) durian
Upon seeing these words, I was immediately startled.
Then he suddenly turned his head to look upstairs.
"No way! It's him!"
"He comes to places like this too?"
"What's the big deal? We haven't taken any concubines!"
"No wonder he doesn't take Sun Xiong seriously!"
"I never expected him to like this too!"
"Nonsense, with a beauty like Si Lili, what man wouldn't love her?"
The discussion at this table wasn't over yet.
Suddenly, a loud gong and drum sound rang out.
It was mixed with men's excited shouts and women's coquettish complaints.
Then,
Si Wei appeared with a stunningly beautiful young woman.
I stood on the second-floor terrace.
That young girl was none other than Kyoto's most popular and sought-after courtesan.
Si Lili!
A pair of expressive eyes seemed to speak volumes.
She first glanced downstairs,
Then he looked at Li Chengqian in the Brocade Pavilion.
Her bright eyes were full of curiosity.
Si Wei smiled and looked at the entire audience, saying:
"Gentlemen, today is Lili's first time leaving her home, and she has come to meet with friends for a chat tonight!"
"However, the rules have changed."
"Miss Lili will set the topic; everyone should write a poem that moves her,"
"Then we can go to bed and have a long talk by candlelight!"
After Si Wei finished speaking,
A cheer immediately erupted from the audience.
This is the prize for writing poems offered by Zuixianju.
It has recently become extremely popular in Kyoto's brothels.
After all,
It was inspired by Li Chengqian's poem "Ascending to a High Place".
His poem about climbing high was widely circulated after that time.
Let all the great literary talents,
In the pleasure boats of brothels, they vied to recite the poems.
That's why a trend of reciting poetry gradually became popular.
Some even joked.
If this trend of composing poetry gradually spreads, perhaps their Qing Kingdom will be able to shed its reputation as a cultural wasteland in the future.
Even surpassing the Northern Qi!
Therefore, the people at Zuixianju had certain requirements for composing poems.
I didn't find it strange at all.
On the contrary, I felt it was quite fitting for the occasion.
Si Wei bowed to the surroundings, and waited until it quieted down a bit.
She then looked at Sili with a smile and said...
"Miss Lili, why don't you set the question yourself?"
Si Lili nodded slightly.
The entire room fell silent immediately; you could almost hear a pin drop.
Everyone was waiting for Si Lili to ask a question.
Then he picked up his brush and splashed ink.
To become the only guest to enter the room!
Si Lili smiled.
"On the theme of beauty!"
Her voice was soft and pleasant.
Like the warm sunshine of spring, it gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.
It seems to penetrate one's soul, making one involuntarily fall for it.
But everyone was stunned.
With beauty as the theme?
The scope of beauty is vast!
Si Wei, standing to the side, added with a smile:
"Gentlemen, you all admire Miss Lili's beauty. So today, let's use the beauty of Miss Lili's appearance as our topic!"
Now everyone understands!
A commotion immediately broke out throughout the pleasure boat.
Everyone began to rack their brains.
How can we use poetic lines to describe Si Lili's beauty?
The table of officials' sons and nephews
They didn't even bother to study this legendary crown prince.
Why does it appear here?
Furthermore, the discussion revolved around how to describe Manager Sili's beauty.
They began discussing it together.
They were even more diligent than when they were in school!
Very soon,
People began to shout with surprise or boast.
I'm done writing!
I have also finished!
"I, too, have written a truly wonderful poem!"
then,
The maids moved back and forth between the banquet tables.
Collect all the poems and essays you have written.
It was presented to Si Lili for on-site tasting.
Soon, after the maids collected the poems,
Si Lili then began to flip through them one by one.
however,
As you peruse the poems and prose
Si Lili's expression grew increasingly indifferent, and she even began to sigh.
To know that Si Lili could become the top courtesan in Kyoto
Naturally, he was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
He possesses extremely high literary talent!
