Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

The full text of this poem is as follows:

Thousands of morning glows dye the blue sky, and thousands of smoke trees are tender to the wind.The mountain is full of beautiful shadows, and the spring is warm, and the water reflects the red makeup.

Swallows and warblers crow to remind dreams, chickens crow and butterflies dance around the flowers.The fragrance overflows from the front of the eaves and the back of the house, and Taoxi is everywhere in the hospital.

"What do you think?" Tang Wuyi asked.

"For the women of Lefang, it's already quite difficult. The battles are neat, the rhetoric is concise, and it's also very eye-catching." Wen Tao commented.

"Taotao, you are so stable, you look like an old gentleman grading papers." Tang Wuyi said, "I think it's very good, even talented scholars from aristocratic families struggle to compose poems. This lady is already a great talent. According to me Look, the only person in the music workshop who can write such verses is probably the lady Cuiyun, who is famous for her poetic talent."

"The outstanding people in the south of the Yangtze River can be seen. However, this time is Dongfang's home court, and I'm afraid they will compete for the top prize of the oiran." Wen Tao analyzed, and suddenly asked, "This is an item of the oiran system. Is there any?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Kabuki competition is a bit abrupt. Jiangnan has always been rich in culture, I guess, it is the project added by Dongfang."

"Haha, Immortal Ziwei, everything has been found out at a glance. However, you are only half right. This article is indeed a competition project added by Dongfang, but it was not added this year, but added four years ago. " Tang Wuyi said.

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

"Four years ago, Dongfang produced an astonishingly talented lady named Diewu. The song Diefeihuawu became famous for a while, but she was able to articulate it well. Regardless of whether it is Wujue or Qilu, no matter how the topic is set, how to limit the rhyme, how many It is a stick of incense, and at least it is a poem. At that time, the oiran system was also the home of Dongfang. In order to show the poetic talent of Diewu, this item was added. Later, Yunshangfang everywhere Follow the example, now the kabuki at Yunshangfang must learn poetry." Tang Wuyi sighed, "After that, there will be no more poetic talents like Diewu Niangzi."

"Where is Lady Diewu now?"

"The fragrance disappears and the jade dies, the beauty is unlucky." Tang Wuyi sighed.

Wen Tao couldn't bear to ask the details, so he went to look at the fourth picture.After doing some calculations, it should be the work of the only remaining lady of Xifang Huakui.

This is a short poem from "Qing Ping Le". Wen Tao saw that the writer of the lyrics used correct and correct block letters, and his writing skills seemed to be lacking.

"Hey, it's hard for this lady." Tang Wuyi looked at it and said, "The general appearance is copied by beginners, and this lady probably hasn't studied for a few years. Also, Xifang is far away in Yizhou. Although it is a prosperous place, women from Lefang Most of them come from the nearby countryside, so it’s hard for them.”

"Wait a minute," Wen Tao said suddenly, "This song "Qing Ping Le" is very well written."

"Oh?" Tang Wuyi didn't intend to read it carefully at first, but now he took a closer look after hearing Tao's words, and saw that the slightly immature brushwork was written in a correct manner:

Annoyed with smoke and dew, let me live for a while.Hand in hand with spring flowers to return slowly, catkins dance in a flash.Jiao Chi is not afraid of people guessing, she folds her clothes and falls asleep in people's arms.The most important time is to share, and when I come back, I will be lazy at the dressing table.

"Wonderful person, haha." Tang Wuyi praised, "Jiao Chi is not afraid of being guessed, and sleeps in the arms of others. He is a person with the most affection and nature." Indeed, in the poem, the young woman and her lover look at the spring flowers hand in hand, and Sleeping with his clothes upside down, acting like no one else was there, he was extremely bold, and at the end he was lazily dressing up after parting, he was really a wonderful person.

Wen Tao said: "With just a few words, it seems like a complete play, with its beginnings, succession, and transformation."

"Taotao, you are really accurate. I just heard before that the oiran sent by Xifang this time is good at singing and dancing, and I think it is this lady."

"In terms of literary talent, this song "Qing Ping Le" should be number one." Wen Tao said and put Shi Hua into the last flower basket.Tang Wuyi also agreed.While the two were talking, a large number of guests from the Zhuijin Building poured out, probably because the banquet in the building came to an end, and the guests came to throw flowers and enumerate.

Tang Wuyi gave Wen Tao a wink, and the two slipped to a side corridor before a large number of guests arrived, just in time to see the beautiful scene of throwing flowers here without being too noisy.

Tang Wuyi leaned against the vermilion corridor, posed in a comfortable posture and said, "The beauty of this beautiful day is really a joy in the world."

The corners of Wen Tao's mouth were also curved, and he kept paying attention to the scene of throwing flowers over there from time to time, and asked, "Tang Yue, which oiran lady do you think will win the Wen Ju in the end?"

"It doesn't depend on whose background is strong. After all, there are only a small number of people who are selected fairly like us. Most of them, whether they are rich businessmen or dignitaries, have to drop hundreds of thousands of flowers."

Sure enough, after a while, the voice of the reporter came: "The master of the Lingbao Pavilion in Kyoto, the first painting of peonies wearing butterflies is a gift of one hundred flowers."

"Mr. Huang of Yizhou, and the owner of Tan Shao Pavilion of Penglai Pavilion, each presented the fourth piece of "Qingpingle" with two hundred flowers."

"Lu Shaoyin, the prefecture of Yangzhou, presented the third piece of Qilu Shihua with five hundred flowers."

……

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is spending money like water." Tang Wuyi said.

"Sigh, it seems that the ladies of Nanfang Suxin don't have many flowers." Wen Tao listened with his ears open. He was very good at counting, and he was able to roughly infer the amount of flowers each lady got.

"Well, female embroidery workers are not elegant after all, and they are not orthodox in calligraphy and painting." Tang Wuyi said.

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang presented the second piece of spring and Jingming embroidery with two thousand flowers."

Wen Tao and Tang Wuyi looked at each other in dismay, thinking to themselves that King Qi was so generous that he could buy two thousand flowers for a single move, and these thousands of taels of silver could buy a mansion in Yangzhou, it is really a beauty to spend a lot of money on.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that Lady Furong from Beifang will be jealous again." Tang Wuyi joked.

Wen Tao shook his head: "If the money can be used on the common people, there will be no need to increase taxes so much."

Tang Wuyi said in a deep voice: "When today's son has the heart to annex the barbarians, when he becomes the king of Wei, he will return to the Ughur, attack Tubo, and punish Gaochang, so as to restore the glory of the past. However, the year after year of conquests and taxes are overwhelmed. ..." Tang Wuyi didn't continue, Wen Tao was also silent, he rarely talked about state affairs with Tang Wuyi.However, he himself is familiar with the classics and history, so he thinks so.The two were silent for a moment, their reflections swaying slightly in the lake of Jinyuan.

Suddenly, a burst of gongs brought the two of them back to the grand occasion of the oiran's examination, probably because Wen Ju had come up with the result, and there was already a crowd of people at the Zhuijin Building, Wen Tao stood on tiptoe, seemingly curious.

Tang Wuyi said: "I will announce it loudly, just listen here."

Wen Tao said angrily: "Just now I missed a lot of flower gifts, otherwise I would have done the math."

Tang Wuyi smiled and said: "There is no need to bother you about such trivial matters."

I could only hear the voice of Mrs. Chu, the owner of Dongfang Fang: "This time, the oiran will give one article. Tanhua is Furong lady of Beifang; second place is lady Cuiyun of Dongfang; champion is Danfengbai lady of Xifang." After all, there was a burst of noisy silk and bamboo orchestral sound.

"King Qi spends a lot of money, but Miss Suxin is still not in the top three." Tang Wuyi said regretfully.

"The number of flowers in Dongfang and Xifang should be very close. This time, Dongfang lost in the Wenju competition at home." Wen Tao said.

"Let's go, Taotao, the main event will be the performance in two days."
