Chapter 1231 : The courtyard is deep

The bows of the two pleasure boats stand on each of them. The body on the left is fat, and the one on the right is extremely thin. The two are arching, as if they say something to a pleasure boat in the middle?

But after talking for a long time, there was no movement in the pleasure boat in the middle, and even the curtain of the pleasure boat had not moved.

"I don't know who is in this pleasure boat, but it makes the man scream!"

Just as Xiao Yun was muttering in his heart, the three pleasure boats sailed over and drove over. Only then did Xiao Yun see clearly that the pleasure boat in the middle was larger than the other two, and the decoration was more exquisite, with dragons, phoenixes, flying eaves and pavilions, and extremely majestic. Unfortunately, the curtains did not move at all, and it was impossible to see the appearance of the people inside, which made people feel a little disappointed.

"How deep is the courtyard!" Xiao Yun sighed softly, his eyes slightly raised, and he glanced at the lantern hanging high on the bow of the boat. The lantern had a big word "Su" written on it, with beautiful brushwork, and it was obvious that it was written by a woman.

"Well, it seems that I have some talent to learn if I have such a brushstroke!" Xiao Yun nodded secretly, and his eyes fell on the pleasure boat in the middle without knowing it.

"No, it's Miss Su's pleasure boat, the number one prostitute in Hangzhou, and a talented woman. It's even more rare that she looks as if she is ashamed of the moon and flowers. How beautiful is Diao Chan in the past?" Many people in the crowd began to shout loudly, and their faces were full of excitement at the pleasure boat.

"The first prostitute in Hangzhou is no wonder she has such a great influence!" Xiao Yun has some knowledge of brothel women in this era. In order to survive, these poor women have to learn some skills, poetry, songs, and singing are their unique skills to survive. After years of training, they are mostly beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and are well versed in poetry and have ambiguous relationships with many literati and poets, officials and nobles. They are the princes and grandsons, and corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen are fighting for them. Over time, their fame is passed down among scholars. Some are even more famous, and some are willing to invest in their daughters to see Fang Ze. The more famous ones are Li Shishi during the Northern Song Dynasty. They are so famous that even Song Weizong heard of his name and wanted to have a love for her.

Li Shishi was originally the daughter of Wang Yin, who runs a dyed house in Bianjing City. When she was three years old, her father sent her a name to the Buddhist temple. When the old monk hit her, she suddenly burst into tears. The old monk thought she looked like a Buddhist disciple. Because everyone called her Buddhist disciple "Shi", she was called Wang Shishi. When Wang Shishi was four years old, her father died in prison for crimes. She revealed on the streets that Li Yun, who was a businessman for running a brothel, saw that she was a beauty, so she adopted her and changed her name to Li Shishi with her surname, and taught her to play music, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing.

Later, Li Shishi became a famous genius in Bianjing. His fame made Song Huizong envious. At the instigation of the treacherous minister Gao Qiu, Song Huizong finally met Li Shishi. He was impressed by her unlucky and unparalleled talent. After a while, he hurried back to the palace. He knew that this view would never be forgotten. From then on, Song Huizong ignored the beauties in the harem and came out of the palace to enjoy themselves on the grounds of understanding the people's feelings. Sometimes he even called the Grand Secretary Wang Fu to go with him.

Even the emperor favored him, and his reputation was not comparable to that of the past. Although Li Shishi's identity was still a famous prostitute, he was also "famous and flowers with a master". The powerful princes and nobles could only sigh at the "teacher". But someone was brave enough to compete with the emperor for that person, and this person was the talented man Zhou Bangyan.

Once, when Song Huizong was sick, Zhou Bangyan took advantage of this space to visit Li Shishi. The two were talking, and suddenly heard the emperor come. Zhou Bangyan could not hide and hid under the bed. Song Huizong gave Li Shishi a fresh orange and chatted for a while before returning to the palace. Li Shishi pretended to stay and said, "It's already the third update, the horse is smooth and the frost is thick, and the dragon's body is important." Song Huizong did not dare to stay overnight because he was not well, so he hurriedly left.

Zhou Bangyan added a lyric: The knife is like water, Wu Yan is better than snow, the slender fingers break the new orange. The brocade curtain is warm, and the beast fragrance continues to spread. He sits in a low voice. He asks in a low voice: Who should I go to? It’s already three o’clock in the city, and the horse is smooth and the frost is thick. It’s better to stop, and it’s just a few people. Who knows that after Emperor Huizong of Song recovered, Li Shishi had a banquet here, and Li Shishi sang this lyrics for a while. Emperor Huizong of Song asked who made it, and Li Shishi casually said it was Zhou Bangyan, and he regretted it as soon as he spoke. Emperor Huizong of Song immediately understood that Zhou Bangyan must have been in the house that day. His face suddenly changed. After a few days, he found an excuse to demote Zhou Bangyan from Bianjing.

Li Shishi saw him off and sang a song "Lanling King" he composed to Song Huizong: The willows are straight, the smoke is green, and on the Sui dike, I saw a few times of brushing water and seeing off my farewell. When I climbed to look at my homeland, who would have prophesied the tired guests in Beijing? The road of Changting Pavilion was last year. I should break mulberry strips for a thousand feet, search for old traces, and drink and take advantage of the sad strings, and the lights showed off the table. The pear blossoms and elm fire urged cold food, and the wind was cut, and the waves were warm. I turned around and sent several posts, looking at people in the north of the sky. Hate accumulated, and gradually parted with the lingering and the pool was silent. The setting sun was rising and the spring was endless. I remembered the moon pavilion and hand in hand, and heard the flute on the dew bridge, thinking about the past as if it was in a dream, and tears were dripping. Song Huizong also felt that it was too strict, so he called Zhou Bangyan back.

The brothel women are enough to influence the government affairs, and this alone cannot be underestimated. So when Xiao Yun heard the "No. 1 prostitute in Hangzhou" he hurriedly put away his underestimation and looked at the lake in the sound.

"Aren't those two young men Li Mobai and Ouyang Ling? It turns out that they are following Miss Su all the way. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

"Isn't that true? Miss Su is famous in Hangzhou and is the top courtesan in Hangzhou, not to mention his peerless face. If I also have Mr. Li and Mr. Ouyang's family background, I would have been willing to chase him all my money!" Another tourist next to Xiao Yun took the words of his companion and said.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhu, you don't have to sigh. Your essay is a top talent in Hangzhou. When it comes to business, your father is a thousand households in Hangzhou. If Brother Zhu, if you are willing to chase him, Miss Su might look at him differently?" The man who followed Mr. Zhu took the opportunity to flatter him.

Mr. Zhu seemed a little self-aware, shook the paper fan and smiled, saying, "Brothers of the Wang family, don't be like this. Miss Su is talented and has a new look of falling fish and falling geese. How can I pursue such a simple person like me? Zhu can take a look at her and listen to her singing a song, it's enough!"
