Chapter 37: Forming a group of prostitutes
March 3rd, Shangsi Festival!
Shangsi Festival was originally a festival for banquets by the water and spring outings in the suburbs. Although it has been around since ancient times, it is a private participation and is not grand. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that Shangsi Festival was designated as a national festival and became increasingly grand. Especially after the Qujiang Banquet became famous, Shangsi Festival became a festival for the city of Chang'an to celebrate. People who could live in the capital were not under heavy pressure in life, and what they lacked was entertainment.
Therefore, the Qujiang Banquet evolved from a new Jinshi celebration to a grand ceremony that caused a sensation in the city, causing the Chang'an house to be in mid-air, and finally the royal family also came to mix up with joy.
Early this day, Pei Min rode a tall white horse wearing red flowers to Pingkangfang under the first hunchback of the stars.
As for why they went to Pingkangfang instead of going directly to their destination Qujiang Hall, the reason why Pei Min, a innocent virgin who was less than 20, was full of embarrassment and speechlessness, the reason why they agreed to gather in Pingkangfang was very simple: a group of prostitutes was called a banquet without songs, and a banquet without prostitutes. Qujiang Banquet, as a rare event in Chang'an, could it be without prostitutes? Pingkangfang is the so-called red light district in later generations, where the concentrated residence of prostitutes.
There are no private brothels in Chang'an. Music prostitutes and music books are managed by the Jiaofang Department. If any court official wants to hold a banquet and invite music prostitutes to entertain, they must obtain permission from the management music department. As early as yesterday, someone had gone to Jiaofang to say hello. Today they just need to go to Pingkangfang to invite geisha on a trip.
This kind of fashionable behavior of group visiting prostitutes has a beautiful name in this era called "traveling with prostitutes".
When Pei Min arrived at Pingkangfang, he was like a superstar in later generations, causing real screams and cheers around him. The windows of the houses on both sides were wide open, and nearly a hundred dressed geishas were waving their hands enthusiastically, throwing their flowers, handkerchiefs and other close objects downwards, in order to come, and performing a romantic affair between a talented man and a beautiful woman.
The close-fitting objects in the sky were like raindrops. Pei Min couldn't avoid them even if he wanted to dodge. Thinking that since it was a custom, he simply let go of his hands and feet to play with it, swaying his hands to the left and right, and screaming and cheering in an instant, and soaring into the sky.
Suddenly, the thing floated down, and it turned out to be the red bellyband of my daughter's house.
The red bellyband actually floated towards his face. Pei Min really lacked the courage to not dodge. He gently raised his back and dodged, smelling the faint fragrance of roses in the air, and was still scared: This ancient beauty is really crazy
When he arrived at the designated location, Pei Min found that he was the latest one. After him, the second place winner Lu Ze, Tanhua Feng Zhi and more than 20 Jinshi from the same high school had already gathered. Among the crowd, there were two Xue Yong who knew him, and another Pei Yu.
"Our top scholar is here, let's wait." A young man in white clothes, with an extraordinary charm, rode his horse to greet him with a smile, with a bit of exaggeration in his intimacy, making people laugh at him when they see him, and felt a lot of intimacy.
"Brother Xue, don't scold me. The charming flowers on this road are too enthusiastic. I really can't get up." Pei Min responded with a smile. The young man in white clothes was Xue Yong, who was the best friend of Yan Gaoqing when he was in Chang'an. When Pei Min was still living in Yuan's mansion, Yan Gaoqing told him that Xue Yong would ask him to help him if he encountered something in the capital.
Pei Min met Zhang Xu by chance. He Zhizhang did not visit Xue Yong, so he asked Yan Gaoqing to owe more favors for no reason. A few days ago, Xue Yong came to the door. It turned out that Yan Gaoqing had already told Xue Yong about Pei Min in a letter, but Pei Min did not go to find him. Xue Yong didn't know where Pei Min lived, so naturally there was no contact with each other.
Pei Min was the top scholar in high school and was famous in Chang'an. It is well known that he lived in He Zhizhang's mansion. Xue Yong also passed away as a Jinshi and was a Jinshi. Xue Yong came to Pei Min because of this. The two had a relationship with Yan Gaoqing and had a good chat. Pei Min also got from Xue Yong that Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian: Yan Gaoqing's appointment had been issued and he was now a record officer in Weizhou. Yuan Luqian, as his deputy, also became an assistant. Yan Gaoqing was very good at doing things, and he had a rigorous and loyal partner. He started his business very quickly and received praise from the governor of Weizhou. In just three months, he laid a certain foundation.
Upon learning the latest news from his friend, Pei Min was no less excited than being the first place he passed the exam. He immediately wrote a letter to the Weizhou Prefecture Office to tell them about his high school news to tell them about his brotherly love.
The place where Pei Min lives is a bit far away, and he is the top scholar in the current academic field, Wenquxing descended to earth. The stars on the road are not happy.
Although the time has not been delayed, it was the last one to be admitted. Some of the Jinshi complained with different thoughts, saying that the top scholar is arrogant.
Xue Yong welcomed Pei Min so exaggeratedly.
Pei Min knew that he would immediately clasp his fists with all the Jinshis and said, "You are not good at riding skills, and may hurt passers-by. I have been waiting for a long time!" He is neither humble nor arrogant, and is elegant and elegant, and gives everyone a lot of face. In addition to his young top scholar, everyone likes the big student, and they all say that it has not yet reached the agreed time, which is not in the way.
The old fried dough stick who has been in Pingkangfang for many years said with a smile: "It's not hindering the situation, it's your loss if Brother Pei comes late. Only when you come early can you feel the enthusiasm of the girls more."
The gathering of Jinshi in the current year means that the largest prostitute visiting gang this year has officially opened: a beautiful woman jumped out of the beautiful building and walked towards the floats that had been prepared. They waved at the protagonists unscrupulously, bold and charming.
Especially Pei Min, as the top scholar, he is well-deserved among many Jinshis. Moreover, he is not only young, but also handsome, with a full prince charming style, and young. He is a novice in the romantic scene. He has long made the beautiful women who are mingling in the romantic scenes feel rippling.
Pei Min was also dazzled. This Tang Dynasty singer was not only higher than the ladies in bars in later generations, but the little brothers reacted a little.
"Brother Pei, let go, let go, let go, let go, your body tilts a little!"
Pei Min was admiring the beauty when he suddenly heard Xue Yong's voice behind him.
The ancients attached great importance to the position and position. Pei Min was naturally in the first place as the top scholar. The next one behind him were the second one, Tanhua. After the three of them, they were the second one and the second one. Xue Yong happened to be behind Pei Min.
Pei Min asked curiously as he spoke, "What's wrong?" He suddenly saw that almost everyone around him looked at a place.
