    [1] Xue Neng's poem "The Singer - The First Section"

    A word with a new sound and a bead,

    Turning the throat is suspected to hit coral;

    When listening, there is a sound in the sitting part,

    After singing, there are no cherry blossoms in the leaves.

    At that time, the sun gradually began to slant.

    However, lights were lit everywhere in the "Changchun Courtyard", illuminating the entire lobby magnificently.  The red sandalwood incense burner at the four corners of the lobby is burning with a thick magnolia fragrance. After the fragrance diffuses, it turns into a light orchid fragrance, permeating the entire hall of "Drunken Red Building".

    At this moment, the hall was already full of people, and everyone wanted to earn their virginity.  Virgins always give people a different feeling, what is the difference?  I can't say it again.  In short, the delicate and beautiful flowers always attract everyone to come and pick them.

    Today's auctioneer is Zhu Aifang, the owner of "Chang Chun Yuan".

    When Zhu Aifang stepped onto the large round stage in the center of the lobby, the emotions of the men in the audience began to rise.  She waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then she said, "The oiran banquet auction is starting now. The first auction is 'Tan Hua'. This year's 'Tan Hua Girl' is Mei Daier from Guangzhou Road in the southeast constituency, also known as Liu.  Miss Zhi. Let me first introduce this beauty to everyone, needless to say about her appearance, the young masters have already seen her, even I, Zhu Aifang, think she is not as good as her."

    There was laughter under the stage.

    "Our Miss Mei Daier can also play konghou [1] very well, and reciting poems in pairs is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The most valuable thing is that she is the only girl who can sing and speak in Cantonese. The Cantonese  , Hey, it's so nice, that tune, that voiceit's indescribably wonderful! You say how much money are you willing to give to pity her for such a virgin beauty with both talents and looks?"

    Everyone in the audience shouted: "Mom bid!"

    Zhu Aifang said with a straight face: "Ms. Mei Daier's starting price is five hundred taels of silver."

    As soon as her words came out of her mouth, the crowd below became lively.

    The "Oiran Banquet" from Hua Zhuangyuan and Tanhua Auction belonged to the procuresses of their respective brothels, and Zhu Aifang could only earn the banquet fee and bed fee.  But all the money from Ouyang Biyu's auction belongs to Zhu Aifang.  Therefore, Zhu Aifang came to be the auctioneer in person in order to raise the price of "Tanhua Girl" as much as possible, so that the price of the second-ranked Jasper could be increased.

    Li Xiang, one of the "Four Young Masters", stood up first and said, "I'll pay six hundred taels." But he stretched out five fingers.

    Li Xiang's price has discouraged most young masters who are eager to try, and they only gritted their teeth and hated that they were not born in a wealthy family.

    "I pay six hundred and five, and I would like to experience the girl's abilities." An old man in the audience added another size.

    A man with a bearded face and a wretched appearance shouted loudly: "Seven hundred, I will pay seven hundred!"

    "Seven hundred and five!" The audience was arguing vigorously, and everyone was blushing and thick-necked.

    The old bustard mother of Liuzhi here has long been "happy" and "forget about Sichuan", and she can't wait to hold such auctions every day.  The "Tan Hua Hua Pai" of the willow branch she was holding in her hand was sweating, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were also exposed.

    "One thousand!" As soon as the sound came out, all the signs in the mother's hand fell to the ground, and she hurriedly bent over to pick them up, smiling awkwardly.

    Everyone looked back to find the person who gave the one thousand taels of silver, only to find that it was Liu Yuchun.

    "Are there more than a thousand?"

    silence

    "Since there is no one, then I declare that tonight's Tanhua Mei Dai'er - Miss Liu Zhi, will belong to Mr. Liu. Liu Zhi and Liu Shu are also a match made in heaven" Zhu Aifang said this, but she felt guilty in her heart.  He muttered: Why, Mr. Liu doesn't want our little Biyu?  Why!  Men are all bad guys who love the new and hate the old!

    Liu Zhi's mother was so happy that she almost kowtowed, and she sold it for a thousand taels of silver the first night. Could she be unhappy in such a rare situation?  She happily handed the cards to Liu Yuchun.

    When Xiao Yezi saw that Liu Yuchun had taken Mei Daier's "flower card", she hurried to the "Osmanthus Building" in the backyard and told Biyu to go.

    [2] "The Singer - The Next Section" Xue Neng. Poetry

    Hanpu despised the news and dismissed the admiration,

    Linqiong can't be used in vain;

    Who has to live in a brothel,

    That is, Xianlang is not a husband.

    Then there was the "Oiran Banquet" of "No. 2" Ouyang Biyu in the auction, and Liu Yuchun took it away at a price of 1,500 taels.

    It's him again, Liu Yuchun!  What does this person want to do?  Does he want to have a "Shuangfeiyan" tonight?

    The audience was silent, and two thousand five hundred taels of silver came to buy two.?The virginity of a newcomer is really beyond what ordinary rich families can afford, and the price can even be redeemed for an oiran.

    There was a voice of resentment from the audience: "Young Master Liu, you are wrong, you can't have all the girls tonight!"

    "You have won two, you should be satisfied tonight, you go away! You can't make our hearts tickle for nothing"

    Liu Yuchun looked at these commentators with a smile, without saying a word, he stepped onto the stage in one stride, took Jasper's "flower card" and left quickly.

    Only Xu Susu, the No. 1 figure in the oiran who has already been speculated at a high price, left everyone in awe

    Notes

    [1] Konghou

    Konghou is an ancient Chinese traditional plucked stringed instrument, also known as a plucked stringed instrument. It was originally called "Kanhou" or "Konghou".

    Konghou has a long history and a long history, with a wide range, soft and clear timbre, and strong expressive power.  In ancient times, in addition to the use of court music, it was also widely spread among the people.  Now it is often used for solo, ensemble and accompaniment for singing and dancing, and it is also used in large national orchestras.

    The ancient harps can be roughly divided into lying harps and vertical harps.

    Among them, the early crouching harp came from the state of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has the same origin as the Guqin, but its long resonance box panel has the same taste as a pipa, which is the main difference in shape between it and the qin and se;  or percussion.

    However, the vertical harp evolved from the bow of ancient hunters. It is the oldest stringed instrument born with the birth of the earliest human civilization, with a history of more than 5,000 years.  Musical instruments older than this include stone whistle, bone whistle, bone flute, xun, and ocarina.  At the latest in 1200 BC, the vertical harp was basically finalized (there was no major change in the next two thousand hundreds of years), and later spread to Central Asia and India via Persia, and it was popular in Xinjiang, my country before the Qin Dynasty.  After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, the vertical harp was slowly introduced to the Central Plains—in fact, it was called harp when it was spread to China in the east, and harp in Europe when it was spread to the west. It’s just that we Chinese have set up a translation name for "harp" in modern times.

    Vertical Konghou is the earliest another name for Hu Konghou.

    During the Eastern Han Dynasty, a horn-shaped harp was introduced into my country from Persia (now Iran), also known as konghou.  In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tianzhu (now India) gave this kind of vertical harp to the Qianliang regime in a play.

    The origin of the vertical harp can be traced back to a very popular musical instrument called the harp in ancient Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Egypt, and Greece.  Today, although the ancient harps do not exist, there are many figures playing harps in the murals of the Han and Wei dynasties, such as the vertical harps played in Cave 431 of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.  same.

    The vertical harp is shaped like a half-arched back, with a curved resonance groove. It is set on an upwardly curved curved wood. The speaker is mostly made of leather, with more than 20 strings stretched.  Playing, so people in the Tang Dynasty called playing konghou also known as "Qing konghou".  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
