    Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng, is brightly lit at night and full of pedestrians on the road, creating a bustling and lively scene.

    Fang Jinshi and Xiao Yongming came out of their home in the west of the city and strolled to the street to find a donkey cart that could be seen everywhere, or a sedan carriage or something like that to go to the east of the city, but tonight they had to go through a lot of effort to find a broken donkey cart.  Fang Jinshi sat on the donkey cart and looked at the flow of people on the street, and said to Xiao Yongming, "Is it possible that I remembered the wrong day? Today is not the New Year, right?"

    Xiao Yongming smiled and said: "Of course not, it will take some time before the New Year."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Then I think there are a lot of people tonight, so if you choose an oiran, you don't have to be so lively." Xiao Yongming said: "The official family of the Song Dynasty celebrated their birthday and specially ordered Bianliang, Tokyo, to have no seclusion or curfew for three days.  It¡¯s not surprising that there are more people attending this election.¡±

    Only then did Fang Jinshi understand that the two of them took the donkey cart all the way to the east of the city. When they arrived at a crowded place, the donkey cart could no longer go forward. Fang Jinshi and Xiao Yongming got off the cart and continued to move forward on foot. The crowds were getting bigger and bigger.  It was so crowded that Fang Jinshi's feet hurt from being stepped on and his chest felt tight, so he pulled Xiao Yongming and said, "I won't go. I see other streets are also lively, so why not go shopping."

    Xiao Yongming said: "We will arrive at General Fei's fan building soon. Why don't we go to such a lively event?!"

    Fang Jinshi looked at the dark heads in front of him and sighed: "This flying general just posted a list to announce the oiran. So many people came to see it, but he couldn't see clearly. Besides, everyone might not agree with the Zhu name he ordered.  "

    Before Xiao Yongming could answer, a scholar-looking man next to Fang Jinshi retorted: "Even if the flying general named Zhu, how could others have objections?"

    Fang Jinshi saw that he didn't know the person speaking, so he replied: "Who is the Flying General?" The scholar heard that he didn't even know the Flying General, so he recited a poem: "Nine Heavenly Jade exposes the Forbidden Garden, and does not give Loulan the hook fence."  . Fortunately, the Fengcheng flying generals are here, and the wine from Ganquan Palace is poured into the Jiuquan."

    But even after he finished reciting, Fang Jinshi still didn't understand who this flying general was, but the scholar was too lazy to explain to him and squeezed to the front. Fang Jinshi was a little annoyed and asked Xiao Yongming: "Who is this flying general?"  who is it?"

    Xiao Yongming didn't show off and answered truthfully: "General Fei is the number one in this fan building, his name is Master Li." Fang Jinshi couldn't help but exclaimed: "It turns out to be her."

    Xiao Yongming said: "I just said, Master Li is so famous, how could you not have heard of him?"

    Li Shishi was called the Flying General because after Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty fell in love with Li Shishi, he gave Li Shishi the fine wine from the Annan Kingdom.  Li Shishi gave the jar of wine given by the emperor to the border guards and asked the commander Liang Shicheng to imitate Li Guang of the Han Dynasty and pour the wine into the spring well so that every soldier could taste it. Later, people wrote the poem above based on this, which was passed down.  Kailai, coupled with Mr. Li's generous nature, he got such a name.

    Although Fang Jinshi has never met Li Shishi, he has known her name for a long time. When someone with the status of Li Shishi comes to Zhuming Oiran, even those who are dissatisfied will not dare to have any objections.  .

    When Fang Jinshi heard that it was Master Li, he immediately became interested, so he and Xiao Yongming found a way to rush forward. After a lot of effort, the two finally squeezed into a large square in front of the Alum Tower.

    The luxurious and luxurious Fanlou is one of the best Goulan Courtyards in Bianliang City, Tokyo. It is because of Master Li that this two-story Goulan Courtyard became famous far and wide. At this time, a high platform was built in front of the Fanlou.  It was decorated with red cloth and gauze, and was equipped with expensive furniture. Under the bright lights, a middle-aged man stood on the stage and did not know what to say. Fang Jinshi and Xiao Yongming wanted to squeeze closer, but there were too many people.  Don't go there.

    There are two-story buildings on the left and right of this stage. Sitting upstairs, you can clearly see the situation on the stage. This building is the property of Fanlou. Of course, only people with extremely high status and related people can go up to watch. Who wants to come?  Li Shishi, a famous actor in the world, was sitting on one of the upper floors watching.

    After the man finished speaking, the people downstairs started to cheer loudly, and they didn't know what they were shouting about. After a while, two maids appeared to help a young girl up to the stage, said a few words, and then sat in front of the stage.  In front of a long qin, Fang Jinshi was playing. Fang Jinshi heard the two people around him talking, and he seemed to not know whether it was the first row of the Goulan Courtyard in Ruyue Tower or Ruyu Tower.

    They were standing too far away, and it was impossible to see clearly what the leader of the line looked like. To comment on the top courtesan, of course, appearance is very important, but it is not everything. He must be good at music, singing, and even lyrics. In this line of work,  After playing the piano for the first time, there were countless cheers, and a large piece of red thin silk was thrown on the stage. This kind of red thin silk has a special name called red silk, and it is a thing used to teach musicians to "vote".  , Bai Juyi said in "Pipa Xing": "When Wuling was young, he was fighting for his head, and he didn't know a red silk song.""", the number of red silk ribbons obtained represents the popularity of the karaoke.

    Now that the oiran is chosen as the leader of the line, all major shopping malls have naturally put in a lot of effort. In addition to launching their own top candidates as candidates, they will naturally spend money to find people to come and support them, not to mention that these red cards themselves have many "blue faces".  confidant".

    Xiao Yongming couldn't help but sigh after seeing this scene: "Such a scene can't be compared to the Liao Dynasty at its peak." Fang Jinshi said regretfully: "If I had known it was so lively, I should have come here earlier to grab a seat in the front." They  It was too far away from the stage, and even those who looked like gods could not see clearly. This was what made Fang Jinshi angry.

    Xiao Yongming tugged on his sleeve and said, "Since I brought you here, how can I prevent you from seeing me? Come with me."

    He led the way towards a less crowded alley near Zuo. Fang Jinshi was curious and followed him. Although Xiao Yongming had a little money, he really didn't count in Kaifeng City. Besides, he was an ordinary citizen.  Which way can we go to the front to see?

    Xiao Yongming led Fang Jinshi all the way to the left, and then turned back. Walking down the large circle, Fang Jinshi could hear the noise of people behind the high wall, but it was Xiao Yongming who led him around to the back of the stage.

    There is a building behind the stage. Even if you want to see the back, you can't see it. When Fang Jinshi is confused, Xiao Yongming leads him to a door downstairs. It seems that this door is part of the Alum Tower.  Could it be that Xiao Yongming has a way through the back door?  Fang Jinshi thought so in his mind, Xiao Yongming led him into the door. There were several tables in a room inside, more than a dozen shopkeepers were busy, and there were more than a dozen customers inside, some of whom were paying, and some of whom were busy.  are waiting to receive the note.

    Xiao Yongming walked to a table, took two large silver ingots from the bag behind his back, pressed them on the table and said, "Shopkeeper, I'll buy agarwood from Lou Toukui."

    The shopkeeper took the silver ingot, weighed it, and said, "The minimum bet is thirty taels of silver." Xiao Yongming took out another silver ingot from the bag. The shopkeeper then turned back to the clerk and said, "Give it to this young master.  Thirty taels of silver to the leader of the agarwood shop." The waiter on the side came forward to collect the silver taels and weigh it.

    Only then did Fang Jinshi realize that Xiao Yongming had come to place a bet. He bet on the head of the Goulan Courtyard in Chenxiang Tower to win the oiran. It was just the lowest bet. In this case, it would be thirty taels of silver, and the amount was real.  Not small.

    The clerk immediately put away the silver ingots and wrote an order to Xiao Yongming. Xiao Yongming carefully collected the order and put it in his arms. There was a waiter waiting beside him. Xiao Yongming walked in and said, "Let's go."

    The waiter led the two of them inside and passed through a small garden. The waiter led the two of them to the front of the stairs and said: "In front of the two gentlemen."

    Xiao Yongming led Fang Jinshi up the stairs. When Fang Jinshi went upstairs, he heard a very noisy noise. The place upstairs was not small, but it was also full of people. Thinking of what was standing upstairs,  They are all the same as Xiao Yongming, who has to bet at least thirty taels of silver to be qualified to watch upstairs.

    It turns out that this building is the left building in front of the Fanlou platform. Although there are many people here, it is a hundred times better than the original location. The person on the stage who is dressed up and dressed up is the head of the Goulan Courtyard.  There is a lyrics board, and standing here upstairs, you can basically hear what she is singing.

    Fang Jinshi stepped on the stool and looked down. The crowd was filled with darkness, as if they were watching a play or a movie like those of later generations. The first line of the song was completed. The red silk ribbons prepared by the audience were thrown onto the stage.  The leader of the line smiled and saluted slowly and in a regular manner.

    Fang Jinshi looked into the building opposite. Although the place opposite was the same size as the building he was in, there were only about twenty people there. It didn't take much to know that only the most powerful people in the dynasty were qualified to sit in that building.  Went there, and the place closest to the stage was blocked by a screen. From where Fang Jinshi was, he couldn't see the person sitting on the screen, but I thought the person sitting here must be the world-famous Li Shishi.

    Fang Jinshi was watching casually, and Xiao Yongming next to him said in a low voice: "Master Fang, when the leader of the Chenxiang Tower comes out, you can shout out the price as loud as you can. Xiao is weak, so I can only help you here."

    Fang Jinshi was looking at it happily when he suddenly said this to him. He was a little confused and asked: "What is the price?" Xiao Yongming smiled strangely and said: "The bidding will start soon. Mr. Fang will know it as soon as he sees it."

    The leader who was on stage just now has stepped down, and it¡¯s the next leader¡¯s turn to come on stage. Fang Jinshi heard that this leader is the number one in Yanbo Tower, and she is also a beautiful and charming woman. This number is on the stage, okay  A gift, the person in charge of the ceremony had already spoken for a while, and then the bidding started as expected.

    The bidding started from the lowest one hundred guan, and soon reached **hundred guan. It was not until it reached 1,000 guan that a high-roller stopped. It turned out that the game at the beginning of the line was over, and the one with the highest bid would directly  I bought it, but it was just a woman in the courtyard.Selling at such a high price, Goulan Courtyard will naturally make a lot of money. The buyers will shout enthusiastically, gain fame to the outside world, and everyone will get what they want.

    After bidding, the row leader began to perform music and singing. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Jinshi lowered his head and asked Xiao Yongming: "Do you recognize the row leader of Chenxianglou?"

    Xiao Yongming smiled and said: "Of course I recognize it, otherwise how could I be willing to place such a heavy bet."

    Fang Jinshi said: "It turns out that you are interested in this line of business, but you asked me to raise the price. What does it have to do with me? I won't help you." Xiao Yongming smiled, but did not respond, but Fang Jinshi saw that there was something in his smile.  With bad intentions, I couldn¡¯t guess what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

    The first performance of the Yanbo Tower was completed, and another woman came from behind. Fang Jinshi saw that she had almost finished, so he jumped off the stool and said, "I'll come as soon as I go." He wanted to go to the toilet, but Xiao Yongming said anxiously: "Then below  We are in Chenxiang Tower, how can we leave now?"

    Fang Jinshi ignored him and said, "You can just bid yourself. I'll come back later."

    Suddenly there was a cry of surprise in the crowd. It seemed that the leader of the Chenxiang Tower was on the stage, but Fang Jinshi had already jumped off the stool and was out of sight. Xiao Yongming was anxious, jumped off the stool and pulled him hard.  The clothes said: "Have a look."

    Fang Jinshi couldn't help but be a little curious. He stood on the stool again and saw a woman in red clothes already standing on the stage. She bowed forward. Every step she took was as if it was measured with a ruler.  The size of the painting is about the same, and the figure in the salute is stiff but the posture is very graceful. The woman holds a pipa in her arms, with a look of neither joy nor worry on her face.

    As soon as this woman appeared on the stage, there was a moment of silence in front of and under the stage, and then there was a burst of noise. Compared with the other leaders just now, she already stood out from the crowd just in terms of demeanor and appearance.  Compared with her, several leaders are just village girls in the mountains. She is the golden phoenix among thousands of birds.

    The ceremony clerk waited for her to finish her salute, then stepped forward and said to the audience: "This is the leader of the Chenxiang Tower, Miss Yun Nu'er Yun" Before he could finish speaking, the noise from the audience had drowned out his voice.  Fang Jinshi's heart was beating wildly. He looked at Yun Nu'er on the stage and felt his blood surge. Yun Nu'er stood on the stage, looking down at the pipa in his hand. He had never looked upstairs.  .
