"Talent? What is talent? Does playing, playing and singing count?"
"How easy is it for us to make money now? Dignity? How much is dignity worth?"
"We only need to show off our charm, and we can enjoy men spending a lot of money on us and being jealous.
"Lie down there and be happy! You'll get the money! Men are fools. Don't you know that there is no plowed land, only exhausted cows?"
The one who spoke was the new courtesan after Yingxiang left.
She giggled and dismissed Wen Jin's words.
She looked at her well-maintained and delicate hands and pink nails, "We are delicate and weak, but we can't do work or endure hardship."
Wen Jin chuckled.
She was not surprised at all when she heard these remarks.
His honey is my arsenic.
Everyone has his own ambitions and cannot do it reluctantly.
"It's not like you have to do hard work. As for hardship...is it hard for you to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
Wen Jin said, "If you want to become a famous actor who is more popular and sought after than an oiran, you will have to endure some hardships.
"Come if you have courage, ambition, and perseverance. Let me see your level."
Sister Hong's heart moved...
She seemed to understand what Princess Hui was going to do!
Her eyes lit up!
"This is a rare opportunity! Do you know who this is? The current princess!
"Did you know that the dancing girl raised by the princess of the previous dynasty was presented to the emperor by the princess, and the dancing girl won the favor of the Sacred Heart!
"Then he became the master of the palace! Think about it!"
Sister Hong's words made these girls excited!
Is there such a good thing? Can you enter the palace? Can you become the master of the palace?
The new oiran's expression froze, "We are being fought over by men in the flower house.
"If you marry a certain man, you will be competing with other women for men! What's the point?"
Wen Jin smiled slightly, this girl was quite interesting.
"That's right! But if given the chance, who wouldn't want to choose a better cow?
“If given the opportunity, who wouldn’t want to have more cattle for themselves to choose from?
“Or, who doesn’t want to be their own landowner and have the final say whether or not they want cattle to plow the land and what kind of cattle they want?”
Ho...
There was a gasp of exclamation.
The new oiran was also stunned.
"You are really telling a joke! Even now that I am an oiran, I rarely get to choose my own guests.
"Choose your own cow? You are in a high position, how can you understand the hardships of the lower class?"
Wen Jin smiled and turned away, "It is said that if a carp crosses the dragon gate, it can transform into a dragon.
"So, there are many, many carp, regardless of hardships, swimming upstream. Is anyone here willing to be a carp?"
A moment of silence.
The tense atmosphere made the short time stretch out.
"Slave, I'm willing to give it a try!" A young girl stood up.
Several sisters who were close to her also took a tentative step, "There are slaves too!"
"Take a slave..."
After a while, half of the girls stood up.
Wen Jin nodded, forty or fifty people, not bad!
"Is there anyone good at painting?" Wen Jin asked.
"Slave!" A girl raised her hand, followed by a dozen girls who all said they could do it.
"If you are good at painting, come with me, Xiaohong. Prepare a room, set up a table, and prepare pens, inks, and paints." Wen Jin ordered.
"Hey!" Sister Hong agreed.
Her curiosity about what Wen Jin was going to do had far outweighed her dissatisfaction with the title, so Ma Liu ordered people to prepare.
Sister Hong arranged for more than a dozen tables to be placed in the largest private room in Baihua Building.
I have prepared pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and various colors of paint.
The paper Wen Jinrang prepared was actually a kind of cloth, which was very large, as big as the notice posted at the city gate... no, bigger than that!
"Write the title 'Talented Woman of Kyoto, Battle at the Forbidden City', and draw a picture of the back of a cold and arrogant beauty, stepping on flower petals, to create the feeling of a lotus growing every step of the way.
"The text reads: On the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, in the Royal Garden Hibiscus Garden, the most famous talented women in Kyoto are competing in their talents. We sincerely invite you to appreciate them."
Why is the Royal Garden not considered the top of the Forbidden City?
Wen Jin explained the general meaning and requirements.
"You each design, write and draw, and I will choose the best.
"Once chosen, I will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."
Ho...
Everyone gasped again.
Just draw a picture and write a few words...and you can get a reward of a hundred taels of silver?
Serving a woman is indeed much easier to make money than servicing a man!
Not humiliating at all!
Wen Jin turned around and saw that although everyone was coveting the silver reward... their expressions were dull and their jaws dropped to the ground.
"What did I say that I didn't understand?" Wen Jin asked.
Sister Hong swallowed hard and picked up her chin, "Dare you ask Princess...are you telling the truth? They...they want to show off their talents in Furong Garden?!"
Wen Jin nodded, "Yes, it's your first time doing it. You must choose a high-end place to achieve the full style."
It’s full enough! They have all used their place in heaven!
As expected of Princess Hui! How dare you think!
Sister Hong pinched herself secretly, "Hiss..."
It really hurts, it’s not a dream!
"Did you hear that? Get ready! You are actually going to Hibiscus Garden for a display! This is... something you can't even dream of!"
The girls came to their senses one after another, their eyes widened and they looked at each other, really? This is real?
Don't dare to think, don't dare to think!
I never dreamed in my life that they could actually get involved in the royal place? !
"I'll work hard! Just to be able to show in Furong Garden, I must show off my housekeeping skills!" a girl said, clenching her fists.
Even Sister Hong was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.
Everyone began to conceive, write, and draw.
She circled around Wen Jin.
"I'm not a grinder, why are you hanging around me?" Wen Jin looked at her.
Sister Hong was stunned, wasn't it grinding? Do you think she is a donkey emotionally?
Sister Hong chuckled, "Are you telling the truth? Can you really let these girls go to Furong Garden? That's Furong Garden!"
Wen Jin looked at Sister Hong amusedly, "Do you think I have nothing to do and come to you to have fun?"
"That's not possible! Your Excellency is busy!"
Sister Hong was thinking about it, "You said before that these girls are 'borrowed'. You can't borrow them away, so you won't return them, right?"
Wen Jin shook his head, "The person is still yours. You can't find so many beautiful women anywhere else who dare to show off their talents, so I'm here to borrow someone from you."
Sister Hong happily clapped her hands, "Okay! That's a great feeling!"
If only they could go to Furong Garden! After coming back, my worth will be different!
This is a girl with royal purple aura!
"Borrow! Just borrow it! If these are not enough, I will mobilize others for you!" Sister Hong's eyes were bright.
The new oiran Liu Yanyan is so short-sighted!
She didn't even understand such a great opportunity to plate herself with gold!
"Don't force it, everyone has their own ambitions." Wen Jin smiled lightly.
She got up and looked at the girls' paintings and calligraphy.
In fact, this is the “promotional poster” for the event!
There was no printing press, so the girls had to draw it themselves!
Wen Jin was walking and watching, and when he came to a girl, she suddenly stopped and her eyes lit up, full of surprise!
