Xie Fu smiled and didn't take it seriously. You can threaten me with this for the rest of my life.
Tantai Wenwang smiled softly and said: "Tantai Heqingke likes to spread terror most to show her majesty and coldness. As far as I know, there are many protruding thorns on the wooden donkey, and a thick rope is tied to the donkey's head. On the wooden donkey, one end is tied to the drum fan. When the wind blows and the drum fan moves, the wooden donkey will shake. The stronger the wind..."
Xie Fu interrupted: "Okay, how do you apologize?"
Tantai Wenwang said fiercely: "If my idol were here, I would have to make you kneel down in front of him. If you dare to insult him like this, forget it. You'll get mad after saying it a hundred times to the romantic hero Li Shao."
This... Xie Fu really couldn't say it.
Tantai Wenwang saw this and sneered: "The stronger the wind, the harder the wooden donkey will shake. Tsk tsk, that one is in ecstasy, that one is bleeding like a stream."
Xie Fu said it out: "The romantic hero Li Shaodian..." Let's just say it, even though it's a bit sinful.
Tantai Wenwang laughed happily: "I see your knees are not very hard. A hundred times, I'm counting."
"The romantic hero Li Shaodian..."
"Let's go upstairs." Tantai Wenwang said, leading the way and leading Xie Fu upstairs, saying: "Don't stop, I'm listening."
Tantai Wenwang muttered something while walking, "Idol, please bless me to win tonight..."
Xie Fu listened and thought to himself: "I'm not dead yet, so let me protect you. With me by your side, how can I not be better than protecting you?"
Tantai Wenwang frowned and said, "Why did you stop?"
Xie Fu could only continue: "The romantic and fierce general Li Shaodian..."
As soon as they reached the second floor, Shanshan, a maid, came to greet him, "Master Tantai."
Seeing that this maid recognized him, Tantai Wenwang was quite proud. He took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it over, saying calmly: "I'm here to participate in the poetry competition."
The maid happily took the silver and said, "Master Tantai, Qingyun Que invites you." She said and led the way.
When working as a slave in a brothel, one of the compulsory lessons is to memorize the appearance and name of each guest, and if possible, even the identity of the guest.
Xie Fu and Tantai Wenwang followed the maid and walked along the corridor to a flower hall. At the door of the flower hall, there was a letter written by Qingyun Que.
The furnishings of Qingyun Palace are elegant and grand, with calligraphy, paintings and inscriptions by famous people hanging all around, incense burners curling in the air, and orchids lining the palace.
The space is very spacious, with three couches and chessboards placed on the couches for guests to sit and talk.
There are ten large chairs lined up on the left and right, and there are two large round tables in the middle, covered with brocade mats for banquets.
When Fu Xie saw Tantai Wenwang looking up at the roof, he also looked up. He saw that there was a piece of translucent glass six feet wide and one foot long above instead of a tile. Living indoors, one could look directly at the blue clouds and bright moon.
Although there is no bright moon in the sky at this time, there are only stars, but it can still make people feel that the night sky is picturesque and cleanse the heart and spleen.
Looking directly at Qingyun, Qingyun Tower probably came from this.
Several beaded lanterns were hung to represent the moon, illuminating the hall like daylight. Xie Fu followed Tantai Wenwang and sat down on the big chairs on both sides.
Tantai Wenwang glanced sideways at Xie Fu, and said "Hmm". Xie Fu immediately understood, stood up and stood behind Tantai Wenwang. Naturally, he had to look like he was accompanying him when reading. Sitting with the young master, wouldn't it be inappropriate? Prioritize.
Tantai Wenwang didn't blame him too much, but reminded him softly: "Be careful, don't embarrass me."
The maid brought a bowl of tea, and Tantai Wenwang asked: "Which famous actor will be in charge of today's poetry competition?"
The maid smiled and said, "It's Mrs. Peony."
Upon hearing this, Tantai Wenwang immediately clapped his hands, "Oh, that's great."
The maid smiled again and said: "Tonight's poetry competition, if the winner comes out on top, there will be prizes."
Tantai Wenwang was moved when he heard this, "Oh, what kind of lottery is it?"
The maid giggled and said, "The lucky draw is that Lady Peony will meet you in person."
"Oh!" Tantai Wenwang became very excited, "It's just what I want. I've long wanted to have a private chat with Lady Peony."
The maid smiled and said: "I see that you are confident, sir. You must be very talented. You will surely come out on top tonight and win the favor of Lady Peony."
Tantai Wenwang laughed and said, "You have such a sweet mouth. Come on, I'll reward you." He then took out a tael of silver from his purse and gave it to the maid.
The maid smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Master."
After the maid left, Tantai Wenwang turned back to Fu Xie and whispered: "The prize tonight is to be alone with Lady Peony. Even if you die here, you must win for me."
Xie Fu smiled slightly. This poetry competition is not a fight. You can win by fighting to the death. He said: "I'll give it a try."
The poetry competition hadn't even started yet, so Tantai Wenwang was drinking tea and sitting around.
Isn't it possible to just sit around and drink tea when visiting a brothel? Of course not. The main purpose of a rich man visiting a brothel is to meet the lady of the brothel. It is not difficult to meet the famous actresses. Spend some money and buy a banquet. seen.
But if you want to see the lady on the flower list, it will take a lot of effort. Which lady on the flower list is not famous, and the nobles, officials and businessmen are flocking to it. If you want to see it, I want to see it, so naturally you need to fight for it. , there is something wrong with first-come, first-served.
Therefore, the brothel organizes poetry receptions and the like to discuss talents and learning, which not only activates the atmosphere, but also wins a good reputation for literary exchanges.
Like the oiran lady, she is one of a kind, and tens of thousands of people are vying for her. It is naturally more difficult to meet her. If she comes immediately after being summoned, there is nothing rare or precious about her.
To meet an oiran lady, you need to be talented in addition to being rich.
As time passed, people came and took their seats one after another. A young man named Lu seemed to know Tantai Wenwang, so he came over to say hello.
After the two gentlemen exchanged pleasantries, they entered the topic, "Brother Tantai, it seems that you also want to compete for Chen Douzhi's post."
Tantai Wenwang said: "I'm here to try my luck and join in the fun, but I am determined to win tonight's competition."
Mr. Lu was surprised when he heard this, "Brother Tantai is so confident, could he have hired some help?"
It seems that Mr. Lu also knows Tantai Wenwang thoroughly. After scanning the Tantai text and looking around, his eyes fell on Xie Fu.
Tantai Wenwang proudly said: "What kind of help can you ask for? Am I not good at it?"
Mr. Lu smiled and did not expose it on the spot. Everyone is half-hearted. If you can do it, then I can do it too. He changed the topic and said, "I wonder who is the supervisor of tonight's poetry competition? Could it be Chen?" You all know that even if you can't compose any good poems, it's rare for Chen Douzhi to see this calligraphy in person, and maybe it can leave an impression."
Chen Dou knew what level that was. In Qin Tower, her status was higher than that of the courtesan. Normally, she would not receive someone alone, and the reception she hosted would be attended by either great talents or celebrities, or high-ranking officials.
