Chapter 341

On the right side of the hall.

Luo Qingzhou was sitting by the window, talking to Kong Zhe and two other scholars.

On the stage, a graceful woman is dancing gracefully to the sound of the piano and singing.

Several people were admiring and chatting.

Song Ruyue took Bai Ling with her and did not rush over. Instead, she sat down at a table behind them and listened.

Miss Tang, the owner of the cruise ship, was talking to a young man in front of her with a smile on her face.

There were many people surrounding the young man, all of whom were full of compliments.

At this time, Kong Zhe was introducing Luo Qingzhou: "That person is Bai Yulou of the Bai family in Jiangnan. He is known as one of the seven talents in Jiangnan. He became famous very early. He also won the imperial examination this time. He is the Tang Dynasty scholar. The lady personally invited him off the boat. It is said that he is the best at writing lyrics. Many women in brothels in the south of the Yangtze River dream of asking for a good lyric from him, and they are even willing to serve him for free for half a year..."

Luo Qingzhou took a look and asked curiously: "Write a poem and you can stay in a brothel for free for half a year?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately narrowed her eyes.

Kong Che said with a smile: "Of course, with his talent and reputation, even if he lives in a brothel every day, he doesn't need to spend a penny. On the contrary, the leading courtesans, etc., will take the initiative to give him money."

The young man named Li Fang next to him explained: "If he writes a good song and asks a woman from a certain brothel to sing it, not only will the woman's worth double, but the brothel will also become famous, and the number of customers will naturally increase. many."

Another young man named He Wensong laughed and said: "Brother Luo, just like the song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" that was circulated in Mocheng. Listen to it. This song is now being circulated all over the country. Many people don't even know it. I have never heard of Mocheng, but as soon as this word came out, Mocheng’s name became famous all over the country. This is the effect of good words.”

Li Fang sighed: "As soon as "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" came out, all the other poems written about the moon were eclipsed. I really don't know who can write such fairy poems. Let alone the women in brothels, those literati, talented men and women , who wouldn’t be intoxicated and amazed after hearing this poem? The daughter of the prefect of our place publicly announced last month that if the author of this poem is a man, no matter how old he is, regardless of whether he is married or not, she is willing to marry him. Give it to him."

Kong Che laughed and said, "Brother Li, if this matter is serious, I will go back to Mocheng to publicize it, and maybe the man named Yue Mo will show up."

He Wensong sighed: "It's a pity that a masterpiece of poetry has been spread like this without even knowing whether the author is a boy or a girl. If I can write such a fairy poem, when I go to Kyoto, I won't have to specialize in it at all." Find a place to live, go directly to a brothel. Today I live in Chunhua Building, tomorrow I live in Qiuxiangyuan, and the day after tomorrow I live in Xiangxuan Pavilion. I change the place every day and sleep with the bride every night without spending a penny. It is really beautiful. "

"Haha, Brother He, I'm afraid you Yue Yaozi won't be able to bear it by then."

"I'm afraid that Brother He will be sucked dry after living here for a month."

Luo Qingzhou saw that everyone was joking, so he casually added: "You can die under a pomegranate skirt, and you can be charming even if you are a ghost. Maybe Brother He is willing to die of exhaustion on a woman."

As soon as he said these words, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He turned around and looked into a pair of beautiful eyes that were burning with flames.

He froze, turned his head silently, closed his mouth, and said no more.

"Brother Luo, you said it well! He died under a pomegranate skirt, but he is also charming even if he is a ghost! He is indeed worthy of being the first in Mocheng's imperial examination, what a literary talent!"

He Wensong clapped his hands and praised, then chuckled and said: "This time Miss Tang invited many brothel artists to accompany her, as well as two top brothel artists, all of whom were very tasty. There will be a poetry meeting later, if Brother Luo can compose a good poem Shi, you don’t have to go back to your room at night, there will be a beauty inviting Brother Luo to go to Wushan together, hahahaha..."

Kong Che and Li Fang also laughed, with lewd expressions on their faces that only men would understand.

Luo Qingzhou also smiled stiffly.

When he turned his head again, he happened to see the back of the mother-in-law leaving angrily with Bai Ling.

Bai Ling seemed to feel his gaze, turned around, smiled at him, and then made a beheading gesture with his palm on his neck, with a look of gloating on his face.

The singing and dancing on the stage finally ended.

Tang Yan'er came on stage and said a few words. In addition to welcoming talented men and women from all over the country, she also focused on introducing Bai Yulou, who was known as one of the seven talents in Jiangnan.

When he talked about Bai Yulou, many women in the audience secretly looked at the talented man, their beautiful eyes shining brightly.

Next, the dinner begins.

Everyone gathered together in twos and threes and began to enjoy sumptuous dishes and wine.

Tang Yan'er led the maid and walked towards Luo Qingzhou. When he came closer, Fang said with a smile on his face: "Master Luo, why don't your family members come down to eat? Do you want the maid to bring the food and wine, or do you call Are they coming down together?"

Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "Thank you Miss Tang. They don't like the excitement, so there is no need to call them down."

Tang Yan'er smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll ask the maid to bring some food and wine."

Luo Qingzhou thanked him again.

Tang Yaner pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Luo, there have been many excellent poems and lyrics circulated in your Mo City in the past few months. Two of them are very mysterious, one is Yue Mo and the other is Luo Mo. Everyone speculates that they should be the same person, and they also speculate that this person may be Qin Weimo, the most talented woman in Mo City. You and Mr. Kong are both from Mo City, but have you seen the Miss Qin?"

Kong Zhe was about to shake his head, but suddenly his mind moved: Qin Weimo? Miss Qin?

He suddenly looked at the young man next to him and said in surprise: "Brother Luo, the last time I went to visit you with Brother Miao, it seemed that we went to the Qin family. Miss Qin, is she from your house?"

After saying that, he hurriedly said, "Brother Luo, although I am from Mo City, I have always lived outside and don't know the situation in the city. If I guess wrong, please don't be surprised."

When these words came out, Tang Yaner and the other two were all surprised.

Seeing this, Luo Qingzhou could only say, "That Miss Qin is indeed from my house. But I don't know whether those poems were written by her, and she has never admitted it."

Tang Yan'er was stunned for a moment, and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Mr. Luo, isn't your surname Luo? Why do you live in the Qin Mansion?"

He Wensong and Li Fang next to him were also curious.

Kong Zhe reacted immediately, his face changed slightly, and he secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly tried to change the subject: "Miss Tang, that poem..."

"I am a son-in-law of the Qin Mansion."

Luo Qingzhou said calmly.

When these words came out, Tang Yan'er was stunned for a moment, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face: "Mother-in-law?"

He Wensong next to him was also surprised and said, "Brother Luo is actually a son-in-law?"

Kong Zhe was full of guilt and dared not say anything.

These days, the reputation of a son-in-law is not good. To put it nicely, he is a gigolo and used to sow seeds. To put it bluntly, he is a slave servant.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Miss Tang! Miss Tang!"

At this time, a scholar in front seemed to have something to do and stood up and shouted.

Tang Yan'er quickly apologized and left.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Kong Zhe laughed and changed the subject: "I heard that one of the courtesans invited by Miss Tang this time is a beauty from Baihua Country. You must take a good look at her later."

He Wensong and Li Fang both returned to their previous expressions and said with a smile: "We really need to take a good look. I heard that the various stockings popular among women now are all from the Baihua Kingdom. Hehe, those stockings are so tempting when worn on the legs, and they feel so smooth and smooth..."

The few people continued to chat as usual.

But Luo Qingzhou could clearly feel that the other two were alienated from him.

Even if he got the first place in the imperial examination, what would happen?

In this era, everything is based on origin. If you are born in a humble family, even if you are extremely talented, you will still be looked down upon by the children of aristocratic families when you become a high-ranking official in the future.

Besides, his first place in the imperial examination is only from the small Mo City, and his gold content is not even as good as the last place in the Jiangnan imperial examination.

Luo Qingzhou did not make himself unhappy again, drank a few more glasses, got up and said goodbye.

Kong Zhe wanted to keep him, but felt that it was awkward for him to stay here, so he nodded apologetically and said, "Brother Luo, go to bed early and meet again tomorrow."

At this time, Tang Yan'er was speaking on the stage.

The poetry meeting officially began.

Luo Qingzhou did not stop, but went upstairs and returned to the room.

Not long after he entered the room, Song Ruyue went downstairs with Bailing again with a gloomy face.

After searching around the lobby on the first floor, he did not find him. At this time, he just heard Tang Yan'er announce on the stage that the poem would be titled "Wine".

All the talented men and women began to think about it.

Bai Ling walked to the side of Kong Zhe and the other two, and asked fiercely, "Where is my son-in-law? Was he seduced away by the courtesan in the brothel?"

The three were stunned. Seeing her fair face and watery eyes, she was pretty and charming. Even with a fierce expression on her face, she was very cute. They were all stunned, as if they did not hear what she asked.

Song Ruyue also came over at this time and asked in a cold voice: "Where is the person?"

Kong Zhe reacted immediately and said quickly: "Brother Luo has just gone upstairs. He should have gone back to his room to rest. Didn't you see it?"

The two were stunned and left quickly.

"What a pretty girl, calling Brother Luo uncle, could she be the maid of Brother Luo's wife? Tsk tsk, even the daughters of the rich families in Kyoto can't compare to this girl. Brother Luo's son-in-law is really enviable."

Li Fang immediately sneered and said: "I'm still envious. I didn't see that Brother Luo was gone for a while, but he came looking for him in a menacing manner? Do you believe it or not? Brother Luo will definitely be punished later, and he will even be punished by that beautiful maid just now. Slap her in the face? That beautiful woman seems to have a bad temper, so she probably punishes her even more severely. I have a son-in-law next door, and I see him being beaten and punished every day."

He Wensong immediately sighed: "Hey, it's really miserable to have a son-in-law. With Brother Luo's ability, why bother to marry into a son-in-law? It's probably also forced by the family."

A few people sighed for a while before they remembered the business of writing poetry and began to think hard.

in the room.

Luo Qingzhou was standing in front of the window, tapping Xia Chan's shoulders diligently.

Xia Chan held the sword and stood there motionless, looking at the dark night outside the window, her pretty face still as cold as ice.

Xiaodie was snickering on the bed and embroidering.

"Squeak..."

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Luo Qingzhou immediately stepped away and moved, pretending to be walking and thinking about something.

Song Ruyue walked in with a cold face.

Bai Linghe came in with a smile and said, "Uncle, you are so awesome, you actually tricked Chan Chan into coming in."

Luo Qingzhou said: "There are many mosquitoes outside."

Then he raised his hands and said, "Mother-in-law, is something okay?"

Song Ruyue was originally very aggressive and wanted to question why he said such shameless words, but when facing his eyes, she suddenly thought that if she reprimanded and questioned this kid in front of so many people, he suddenly became angry and angry. What should I do if I run away late at night?

Isn't that a piece of cake?

Now that this boy is a free man, if he hasn't married Wei Mo for a day, he can't relax and annoy him, otherwise everything will be in vain and it will be miserable.

Thinking of this, her aura suddenly weakened, a smile appeared on her face, and she said: "Qingzhou, um... there is a poetry meeting down below, why don't you go?"

Bai Ling immediately said: "It seems to be about wine. My uncle never drinks, so he shouldn't be able to write it."

This motivating method is too childish.

Luo Qingzhou ignored her and said, "I'm a little tired and want to rest early."

When Song Ruyue heard this, she glanced at Xiaodie standing by the bed and Xia Chan standing in front of the window, and couldn't help but said, "How are you going to sleep?"

Luo Qingzhou pretended not to understand: "How to prepare for sleep?"

Song Ruyue narrowed her eyes and suddenly said: "Xia Chan, you and Bai Ling go over there to sleep with Jian Jia."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned and looked at her in astonishment.

Song Ruyue said quickly: "I slept during the day, and I'm not dozing off now. I'll just sit here and read all night."

Bai Ling suppressed a smile and remembered what those scholars had just said. Madam was afraid that her uncle would be secretly seduced by the oiran below tonight.

Xia Chan held the sword and walked out the door without saying a word.

When Bai Ling was about to leave, Luo Qingzhou suddenly said: "Ba Ling, wait, I'll write a poem. You can take it and give it to Miss Tang."

As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue's heart suddenly tightened: "What are you going to do?"

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "We are able to board the ship this time because of Miss Tang's love for talents. When she sent us up before, she also said that she would let me go down to participate in the poetry meeting. If I don't write a poem , not good. After all, she won’t charge for this trip, and we can’t owe her a favor in vain, so I wanted to write a song to cheer her up.”

Song Ruyue frowned and thought for a while, then said seriously: "Yes, you can't owe her a favor in vain. If you owe her a favor, you may not know how she will deal with you in the future. Qingzhou, write a song, don't write it too well. That’s it, just make do with it, just care about it.”

The corners of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched and he said, "Qingzhou knows."

Xiaodie quickly took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread it out on the table, and began to grind the ink.

"Wine is the theme?"

Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment, walked to the table and picked up the pen.
