When it came time to choose the oiran, Yao Ximu had a fairly fair face, between ordinary and ugly, with a little bit of buck teeth, but because Yao Ximu had been looking at his sallow skin for a long time, Dai Putting on this slightly fairer mask brought tears to my eyes. After all, after the skin and neck are the same color as the hands, there is no need to apply walnut oil.

It is true that people rely on clothes, and Yao Ximu has a good figure. Even with such a face, he can barely be regarded as a handsome and handsome young man when he is dressed up and standing at the entrance of Shengyuanfang.Especially when viewed from the back, it is as tall and straight as a zhilanyushu.Yao Ximu heard that someone behind him made a bet that he was definitely a beautiful boy, but when Yao Ximu turned around, the person who bet that he was a beautiful boy lost 50 taels of silver on the spot.

Yao Ximu refused to accept it, wishing to tear off the mask in public, and let this group of blind people see what it means to be truly stunning!The person who entered Shengyuanfang with him was Luo Qing, Dayao Ximu was three years old, he used to work in Meilou, and Zhai Xiangdi thought his loudness was very annoying, because of the lack of people in Huangxianlou, he just made a favor. Send him to Huangxian Tower.This person has a strange skeleton, tall and thin, and a long and thin face, comparable to a horse.Although he was noisy, he was good at martial arts. Xue Changming, the steward of Huangxianlou, didn't dislike him, and he used it very smoothly.Now that Yao Ximu is the landlord, he likes to chat with others when he has nothing to do, so he happens to hang out with Luo Qing.At this moment, Luo Qing saw that Yao Ximu was going to have a fit, so he pulled him back with great insight, and comforted him: "My lord, don't be as knowledgeable as others, look quickly! It's all started inside!"

Yao Ximu stretched his neck, stood on tiptoes and probed his head, and sure enough, he saw a world full of luxury and money, crowded with people.The girls are all beautifully dressed, with the most popular makeup in Jinling City on their faces, with thick thrush eyebrows, snow-white complexion, shiny flowers on their cheeks and foreheads, and bright red lips with a little sparkle. , this is pearl powder mixed with rouge.

Yao Ximu helped grind the pearl powder.

The girl who came to welcome her was Yuyu, and she usually had a good relationship with Yao Ximu. At this time, she came up to hold Yao Ximu's arm, her fragrance was overwhelming, and her voice was sweet: "Send me, please?" Yao Ximu Dip the rouge on her lips with a finger, sniff it under the tip of her nose, and say: "Next time I grind pearl powder, mix some jasmine juice in it, it will smell better."

Yuyu heard the voice familiar, looked Yao Ximu up and down, and really didn't recognize him, she was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Young master knows rouge and gouache very well."

"That's it." Yao Ximu said confidently, "I taught them how to prepare the rouge for my girls."

Entering the inner hall, the extravagance and splendor remain the same as before, but the original stage has been rearranged, the curtains hang lightly, and the incense burner is elegant.It looks delicate and elegant, but it's not a festive appearance full of flowers and flowers. The fragrance is so fragrant that it seems to overwhelm the smell of wine and food all over the building.Yao Ximu shook the folding fan, Luo Qing showed the message, and the boy who led the way took them to the row of seats on the left closest to the stage. The seats had independent cubicles, crystal curtains, high-quality red sandalwood carved chairs, In front of him was a rosewood square table of the same style, on which were placed tea and several delicate snacks.Standing beside the chairs were three beautiful girls, holding basins, champagne, and water bottles, waiting for orders at any time.

Yao Ximu instructed the girl to wash her face with a scented handkerchief, wipe her hands, tilted her legs and tilted her head, and said to Luo Qing, "That's right, I haven't been treated like this before here." Yao Ximu praised: "Even the girls who are waiting are so beautiful, the famous flowers on the list don't know how beautiful they are."

"Of course, what does Shengyuanfang rely on to gain a foothold in the capital? Beauties! All kinds of beauties! Forget it on weekdays. If you want to enter the venue today, you have to spend 100 taels in advance to buy an invitation card. It’s on the periphery. It costs at least 300 taels to enter the infield to watch the famous names, and it’s just standing. If you want to have a seat in the infield, you have to pay 300 taels. The farther you go, the more expensive the price is, what is 500 taels? Taels, 600 taels, and 700 taels are all decimals, and there is no upper limit. The best one is the A-size seat in the front row. There are nine seats in total. There are people who spend thousands of taels for this. Seeing that Yao Ximu was listening seriously, Luo Qing spoke more and more vigorously, eloquently and eloquently: "In our position, there are only nine first-class brands in total. Those who can get the first order are either the rich or the rich. "Luo Qing carefully looked around, and whispered to Yao Ximu: "On our left is Xie Nanyuan, the son of Xie Shangshu's family, and the one in the middle is Yu Xingye, the son of Yu Taishi's family. Oh, Mr. Xiao from Feihong Club also Here we come..." Luo Qing turned slightly to see more clearly, his movements were not too exaggerated, but his tone was rather exaggerated: "Even Jinyang's rich man Wei Zhong is here, look."

"I don't look at it, I don't know what you said." Yao Ximu rattled the folding fan, stuffed honey-stained begonias in his mouth nonchalantly, and said in a disdainful tone: "Whoever they are, anyway, I am today Anyone who comes to see Sister Yanmei, don't rob me!"

"Yanmei, Wu Yanmei..." Luo Qing muttered, and found out a shiny golden booklet out of nowhere, pointing to find something in it, suddenly, he pointed to a place: "Here, your Yanmei Sister Mei is ranked fifth in the famous flower list, son."

"What are you?" Yao Ximu snatched it away, and after seeing the content clearly, he gave Luo Qing a sideways glance: "Why do you have everything, it's so right to ask you to come here."

The booklet was originally a list, on which was the ranking of famous flowers in Shengyuanfang.

"How did you arrange this! My elder sister Yanmei is first-class in appearance and good-natured, how can she not be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Why is she ranked fifth?" Yao Ximu said angrily: "Blind row! No vision. How can you let me know?" This Qiancao girl is ranked first, she looks like a firewood, she is thinner, she can't write poems, she is still the first..."

Luo Qing quickly covered his mouth, and explained: "The ranking on the famous flower list is determined according to the prestige of the girl, not just the beauty and talent."

"Does she have a high reputation?"

"My lord doesn't know something." Luo Qing chuckled twice, "Everyone loves fat, thin, and thin people. His Majesty likes thin beauties. Liu Gui, who is currently the most favored in the palace, is very thin, with a full waist." Hold it, I heard it can dance in the palm of a person. If you are good at the top, you will follow it at the bottom. Now thin beauties like Zhao Feiyan are popular. Miss Qiancao is at a good time. Well, I heard that she has a famous weapon , but everyone who went to Yunyu with her is full of praise. Those who haven't tried it are even more flocking to it."

"Famous utensils?" Yao Ximu rubbed his chin, quite appreciative: "It's no wonder, let me tell you, the names are so ecstatic."

"That's what you said." Luo Qing rubbed her hands together, smiling lewdly.Yao Ximu couldn't help teasing him: "Look at you, you seem to have tried it?"

"Young master, you are just joking. I don't have a thousand taels of silver, and I can't even meet in person. I don't have the good fortune to be the guest of Qiancao girl."

"Hmm." Yao Ximu took a sip of tea and pointed to the stage, "Miss Manying is dancing."

"Miss Manying is trying her best to enter the top five in the famous flower list this time." Luo Qing opened his mouth wide, his face was dull, and his eyes were locked on the beautiful woman who was dancing Hu Xuan.

Manying has the blood of the Western Regions, with a high nose and deep eyes, beautiful facial features, and a taller and hotter figure than the Central Plains women.This woman wears emerald green hair, her curly black hair is as thick as seaweed, and her eyes are as deep blue as the sea.She is only wrapped with a bright red gauze all over her body, her beautiful body is looming, her dancing posture is graceful, and the red gauze flutters gracefully.The snow-white bare feet were like raindrops, dancing and circling with the rhythm of the orchestra, fluctuating fast and slow, making the audience confused and fascinated.

The melody and music are beautiful, like countless colorful butterflies flying around, and the spring water swirls, like flowers blooming one after another.

Yao Ximu saw Man Ying dancing nine Hu Xuans in a row, convinced her, turned her head and said to Luo Qing: "Miss Man Ying is indeed worthy of being..."

Two lines of blood under Luo Qing's nostrils choked Yao Ximu's next words. The maid next to him held up a brocade handkerchief to stop Luo Qing's bleeding.

This state has been maintained until the third person enters the stage, and the third person is a man, a young lady.Luo Qing is not good at masculinity, even if he is charming, he is as firm as a rock.So at this moment, he finally stopped the nosebleed, took off the brocade handkerchief that blocked his nostrils, pinched his nose and whispered to Yao Ximu: "This man's name is Liu Shuzhu, the famous Mr. Qingzhu, Sao Zhuzi."

Yao Ximu yawned, and leaned over to look carefully at the side of Liu Shuzhu playing the piano, and felt that it was as elegant as bamboo, and said, "It doesn't look coquettish."

"How can you tell if you're flirty or not."

"You can be flirtatious if you say so, have you tried again?" Yao Xi cast a blank look at him.

"I didn't. I'm Meilou, and I read all his news when I was helping Zhai Zhaizhu to sort out the materials, so I don't know."

"Meilou is really omnipotent, even collecting things about people's beds." Yao Ximu curled his lips, but his mind wandered elsewhere, thinking that he usually ran errands here and knew only little flowers and grasses. No matter how courteous and flattering he is, he can't earn a few coins.If you can follow these famous flowers, you will definitely get rich.However, he had never had the chance to get close to him before, Jin Dacheng defended himself like a thief, it was really hateful.

"Look, Yu Xingye gave me a bank note! I gave you a land deed! Mother, it's the land by Pingye Lake! What a great deal!" Luo Qing poked Yao Ximu: "The rumors are true, he and Yu Taishi are both masculine Well, Liu Shuzhu has both of them holding them, and he can walk sideways in the capital. Liu Shuzhu, a young lady, can be ranked fourth in Shengyuanfang's famous flower list, surpassing your sister Yanmei. Come on, look, Liu Shuzhu must be with Yu Xingye tonight."

Yao Ximu was thinking about something on his mind, and was annoyed by Luo Qing's surprise: "Who does he have nothing to do with me, can you shut up?" Luo Qing was unaware of his reprimand, pointing at On the left, Youzi chattered endlessly with Yao Ximu: "Yu Xingye is next to us." He also opened the curtain for Yao Ximu, and the crystal curtain jingled and rolled, and it happened that someone in the seat on the left also opened the bead curtain.

When Yao Ximu looked over, the man also looked at him.

The two lines of sight collided.

A handsome young man in a black robe and high crown sat in a chair, looked at Yao Ximu with a half-smile, then narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and raised his wine glass to Yao Ximu, with a magnetic voice and a frivolous tone: " Does the beauty want to come and enjoy the famous flowers with me?"

"Did he call me?" Yao Ximu looked at Luo Qing, bared his buck teeth, and pointed to his own face: "He can still see that I am a beauty with my appearance?"

Luo Qing shook his head: "No."

"That's why I'm calling you." Yao Ximu tilted his head with a determined expression on his face.

Luo Qing's eyes widened, and he waved his hands again and again: "This is even more impossible!"

Holding the armrest of the chair, Yao Ximu straightened up, stretched his neck, and saw the three girls behind Yu Xingye clearly, then looked back at his own, and found that the one on his side was much prettier than the one on his side.

"He must have mistaken the person." Yao Ximu said to Luo Qing, and Luo Qing agreed: "Yes, that's right." So Yao Ximu turned his head and saluted Yu Xingye with fists, and said loudly: "Thank you, Mr. Invitation, it's a pity that we don't have any beauties here, and I've let down the good intentions of my brother, so we'd better sit differently and give each a reward." He finished speaking in one breath, and put down the curtain.He only heard a low and inaudible chuckle from the other end, and he didn't know whether it was ridicule or fun.

There were two chugs in his heart for no reason, Yao Ximu didn't have time to pay attention, and turned his attention to the stage—his sister Yanmei came on stage.
