Still the same sentence: You have to follow the rules!
You can't lift this pot, but other than that, you can do whatever you like.
Maybe those courtiers would have a headache, but Liu E certainly wouldn't... She has the power of an emperor, and she only needs to weigh the pros and cons.
"Is there more?"
Liu E gradually became interested, and even had a smile on her lips.
"Cao An once wrote a poem..."
The plagiarism of Sister Li's "Summer Quatrains" finally reached Liu E's ears.
Even she couldn't help but applaud: "What a poem, what a spirit!"
"He also composed several lyrics and music in private, among which the song "When Will the Bright Moon Come"... was highly sought after by literati and poets, but they all thought that this poem was written by the singer from Wanyue Tower."
Yin Wuyun lowered his head.
If you are talented but don't ask for a name, does this mean you don't want to become an official in the court?
Thinking about it, everyone in the world wants to become an official, but Cao An is the only one who is afraid of it like a snake and a scorpion!
Therefore, he would rather use the hands of an official prostitute to express his feelings and put such masterpieces in the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion than let the imperial court hear about them!
"He's quite stubborn."
Liu E smiled and said calmly: "It seems that those people are having a hard time. I dare to say that... the winner in the end must be Cao An!"
This is no longer a compliment, but a compliment!
The Queen Mother would actually praise Cao Liang's grandson?
Not to mention how generous she is, if these words get out, a war will start in an instant!
…
Cao An also didn't expect that he would be praised by Liu E.
He never imagined that those methods that he thought were perfect would be so transparent and ridiculous in the eyes of the imperial power.
"Cao Langjun, something big happened!"
Li Yougui broke in and brought in a few breezes.
The door of Cao's Chamber of Commerce creaked, as if it would fall if it was pushed harder.
Cao An couldn't help frowning: "Are you very angry recently? Is the girl sleeping too much, or making too much money? Lao Li, be steady!"
A fifteen-year-old boy told a middle-aged man in his forties to be steady.
How do you hear this? It's awkward.
Li Yougui, however, seemed oblivious and said anxiously: "Du Sanniang is here!"
"who?"
Cao An looked at Arhat.
The latter said respectfully: "Du Sanniang is the leading actress of Wanhua House. She was the Oiran of Bianliang last year and the first in line in Bianliang! The ministers who fall under her skirt can be arranged from Tokyo to Luoyang."
"I've even circled the earth twice!"
Cao An scoffed.
In his opinion, the so-called "Oiran" and "Oiran's Head" are nothing more than a product of commercial packaging. As long as he wants, anyone from Wanyuelou's girl can become an Oiran.
"Brother Cao, it seems you still don't understand Du Sanniang's charm..."
Li Yougui smiled bitterly: "Let me tell you this...there are countless yamen and young masters in Bianliang City who want to drink and have fun with her, and spend thousands of dollars!"
Cao An held up the teacup: "So, this Du Sanniang is here to compete with us?"
"Isn't it?"
Li Yougui sweated anxiously: "Jia Changjun has established a good relationship. Du Sanniang has already settled in Yichun Tower and is making a sign... she wants to compete with Wanyue Tower!"
Predictably so.
With Du Sanniang's reputation in Bianliang, there must be countless rich people who come here because of her fame.
If things continue like this, Wanyuelou's business will definitely plummet, and bankruptcy is possible.
Cao An smiled calmly: "Since they want to fight, then I will play with them..."
Li Yougui was stunned.
"How to play?"
"A certain person has written a few new songs recently, and..."
Li Yougui's impetuous mood gradually calmed down, and a smile appeared on his face: "We knew you wouldn't give in so easily! Don't worry... I've left the campaign building to someone, just catch him!"
…
The brothel industry has never been about letting a hundred flowers bloom.
Either take the lead or lag behind.
There are only a few talented and sexy girls in Bianliang, and they are controlled by famous brothels, and Wanhualou is the best among them!
Inside the Moon Tower.
In the pavilion on the third floor, Cao An was sitting on the railing, looking into the distance.
"Mr. Lang, it's too dangerous. You..."
Arhat was a little nervous.
Cao An smiled, his eyes a little deep: "No problem, I just want to see what is on the other side of the mountain..."
Over the mountain?
Arhat looked to the north and said subconsciously: "Hui Langjun, to the north of Kaifeng is Yanjin."
"..."
Cao An laughed dumbly: "What about further north? What will it be like after crossing the Yellow River?"
Further north from the Yellow River is the territory of the Liao Kingdom...
When the Battle of Chanyuan was defeated, the Song Dynasty lost land and paid compensation, which blocked the Liao people's iron hoof from going south. So far... Hebei Road hangs alone outside the river, and the Song Dynasty no longer has the courage to look north.
"If the Liao Kingdom is this big mountain, what about us?"
Cao An looked back at Arhat and suddenly smiled: "If you don't climb the Great Wall, you won't know how far it is! If you don't climb Mount Everest, how will you know how high it is? Right now, Wanhua Tower is the 'big mountain' blocking us... Don’t want to level it?!”
"think!"
Arhat's dark face was a little excited.
He can always make people's blood boil with just a few words, but the bold words he said... all came true!
"Call the girls over here, someone has something to say."
Cao An easily jumped from the railing and strolled into the inner hall.
"Mr. Lang..."
"I met Mr. Lang..."
Including the already famous Jian Yuerong, all the girls from Wanyue Tower were present.
Seeing the crowd of warblers and swallows in the hall, Cao An lost his mind for a moment and said with a smile: "Du Sanniang is here... I believe you have heard of this name."
Who doesn’t know Du Sanniang?
Man means that these official prostitutes, even hawkers and women on the street, all cherish them.
If there was a celebrity ranking list in the Song Dynasty, Du Sanniang would definitely top the list!
"The number one oiran in Bianliang, what a courageous title!"
Cao An looked at the girls with a smile that never diminished: "She is also a prostitute in a brothel. I heard... that Du Sanniang used to be a tofu buyer?"
The girls didn't know what they meant, they lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.
"But why can't you?"
Cao An said in a relaxed tone: "They all say, 'Do what you do, love what you do'. Although our profession is humble, but... without mud, how can there be lotus? Are you willing to be the mud in the lotus pond?"
Of course not!
Some bold female prostitutes quietly raised their heads, with a flash of light in their beautiful eyes.
"Now, your chance has come."
Cao An took out a stack of composed lyrics and music and said calmly: "Jian Yuerong."
"The slave family is here."
Jian Yuerong, with her slender waist, slowly took a step forward, her beautiful eyes falling on Cao An with indescribable tenderness.
Cao An showed an appreciative smile and said: "From tomorrow onwards, you will be the oiran that I highly recommend in Wanyue Tower... As for how to do it, I will find someone to help you."
Jian Yuerong's eyelashes trembled slightly, she bowed and said, "Thank you sir, sir!"
How could she not know what oiran meant?
Cao An once said that if she could become famous in Bianliang, he would give her her freedom. This would be a God-given opportunity!
