"I can't think of it, I can't think of it! Ziyu still has such painting skills. Vivid! ”

Mr. Nakasan handed the sketch in his hand to his friend and praised him. Several old men looked at it with admiration on their faces.

Mr. Zhongsan looked at Jia Huan, stretched out his hand and nodded, and shook his head with a smile. This kid!

He was a great painter in his own right. Although these sketches do not have the charm of "Wu with the wind", they draw the faces of several beauties truthfully. One stroke at a time, very similar. This is a new style of painting.

Mr. Nakasan's words immediately aroused the curiosity of nearly 100 people in the hall. But Jia Huan only drew three. They are three paintings by Su Shishi, Liu Ruyan, and Yuan Jingxiang. The speed of propagation is limited. From time to time, exclamations rang out.

The ten prostitutes standing in the middle of the hall all glanced at the paper in their hands in surprise. They are also curious, are they painted ugly, or are they beautiful? It caused such a big reaction.

Liu Ruyan quietly asked Su Shishi, she and Su Shishi are friends, "Uh, Shishi, what kind of celebrity is your Mr. Jia?" ”

Now the rankings are out. 2nd place. Everyone knows what to expect. Su Shishi was a little disappointed, but her mood finally calmed down and was ready to accept the result. What if you don't accept it? And seeing that Jia Huan was venting his dissatisfaction in his way, he was slightly moved in his heart.

Mr. Jia pushed her to become the first Oiran with his thoughts. However, when she was in adversity, disappointed, her dreams were shattered, and her efforts were not recognized, she was still grateful to Mr. Jia who spoke for her.

Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao!

Liu Ruyan's words were joking: Your Mr. Jia. Although she was implicated by Zhen Li, she ranked very low in this competition. But the strength and appearance are there, and the future will not be sad, and the mood is still good. I was in the mood to joke with Su Shishi.

Su Shishi's beautiful face showed a touch of crimson, and she said in a coquettish voice: "How do I know? ”

Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and smiled, and gently pushed Su Shishi's waist. This girl has lived in someone's house. What did he want, and you refused? Is it really "harmless" to be eleven or twelve?

As the two spoke, time passed quietly.

After everyone in the hall took a look, the atmosphere of saying that Jia Huan was "unreasonable" was gone. Aren't you stupid people here, can't you see the value of these paintings?

As we all know, ancient Chinese paintings, painting people, focus on charm and artistic conception, followed by appearance. Therefore, the characters drawn are often out of shape. Sketching, on the other hand, opens up a realistic style, one is one, and two is two. What it looks like, it's what it looks like on paper.

What does this style of painting mean in an era when there were no cameras to capture images of people's images at that time, and in a society where ancestors were generally respected and worshipped? Don't ask!

This is a technology that preserves people's age, appearance, and memory. No one would think that this is worse than a fine beauty song. The words are passed down to the world, and the beauties are famous. Paintings are passed down to the world, and beauties will be famous. At that time, the bright moon was there, and the peach blossoms were smiling in the spring breeze.

When the three paintings in the hall returned to Mr. Zhongsan's hands, many people's eyes became blazing when they looked at Jia Huan.

Zheng Guogong Deng Hong opened his mouth and said: "Old man called you Jia Xian, nephew, can you give me one of these three paintings?" ”

There were a few chuckles from the crowd. Obviously, Zheng Guogong wants a portrait of Su Shishi. He admired Su Shishi very much just now.

Jia Huan groaned slightly. Even if Su Shishi is a famous prostitute. But it is certainly inappropriate to give her portrait to a man. Jia Huan's eyes looked at Su Shishi, considering the words.

He is not afraid of offending Zheng Guogong for a trivial matter. In Xungui's circle, for the Jia family in the past two years, there is no need to take too many people into account. The imperial concubine in the house is not an ornament. And for this little thing, it is impossible for Zheng Guogong to turn his face with him.

He is not afraid, it does not mean that Su Shishi is not afraid. He didn't want to shift the pressure to Su Shishi.

At this time, the ten famous prostitutes in the middle of the hall had already seen three paintings by Jia Huan.

Su Shishi Bingxue was smart, and when she saw Jia Huan's eyes, she hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said coquettishly: "Shishi wants to ask Mr. Jia to give the portrait to Shishi as a memory of Shishi's arrival in Jinling for the past year." Jia Huan painted a full-body portrait, and Su Shishi's picture happened to be the picture when she danced just now. It's beautiful.

Jia Huan said with a smile: "This requirement naturally has to meet Miss Shishi." Saying that, he said to Zheng Guogong in a chic manner, "Beauty is preferred." I'll give the remaining two paintings to Uncle Zheng. ”

Several people in the hall who were familiar with Deng Hong laughed. That's a beautiful thing to say. Talented and beautiful! Naturally, the requirements of the beautiful woman come first.

Zheng Guogong Deng Hong glanced at Jia Huan deeply and smiled, "It's okay." "Bring this to light.

Jia Huan nodded and said to Mr. Nakasan: "While the ten beauties are here, the students are willing to draw a picture of the ten beauties now as a record of this Oiran competition." Pls sir allow me. ”

Mr. Zhongsan's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "If I don't allow it, I'm afraid everyone here won't agree." Looking around, everyone smiled in return. Indeed it is.

In the scholar's seat, Tong Zhengyan said unhappily: "This fart kid is really unhappy, do you need to ask Su Shishi's opinion?" Simply refuse. "This is the style of their Donglin Party: contempt for the powerful. Squinting at Jia Huan who was spreading out paper and charcoal, Lin Qianwei beside him carefully helped Jia Huan dry the case. The dissatisfied snort coldly, "It's grinding and chirping." I've got to have lunch. ”

Luo Ziche was about to speak, when Han Jin suddenly spoke up, and said in an affirmative tone: "He's stalling for time!" ”

Tong Zhengyan and Luo Ziche were stunned.

Jia Huan took out his painting skills to shock the audience. Like Chen Zizhen, who had just ridiculed Jia Huan, he shut up and no longer said that he "couldn't afford to lose". Of course, Jia Huan's dissatisfied attitude was still expressed.

And now that Jia Huan is painting, many people are looking at it curiously, and they have a sense of mission to witness the imminent birth of a famous painting.

However, there are also those who have noticed that something seems to be a little wrong: Mr. Nakasan has not yet announced the first and top four places in the Oiran. If you want to see the painting, you won't be in a hurry for a while, right?

A person with a quick brain like Han Xiucai has already understood: Jia Huan is stalling for time!

But what's the use of procrastinating for time? Could it be that there will be a change in the ranking of the certain Oiran?

At this time, Xiao Youan had already led more than 30 prisoners from Guozi Prison into the auditorium around the Shengqi Building, each holding a stack of four-open papers, with ink on the paper. When he saw someone, he sent a copy, and said in his mouth: "The Jinling newsletter founded by Guozijian was issued for the first time today and was delivered free of charge." ”

It is common knowledge that literacy in ancient times was not high. Even a famous city like Jinling is the cultural and political center of Jiangnan. The proportion of literate people in the city is not high among the population of two million.

At this moment, if you talk about the citizens who are catching the market and joining in the excitement on the outskirts of Mochou Lake, the cultural popularity is not high. Then, the more than 300 people in the audience outside the Shengqi Building, the famous prostitutes of each Qinglou, and the retinue and housekeepers who come and go are very common.

Xiao Youan took the prisoners to distribute newspapers for free, and the Yangzhou salt merchant Wang Jia followed with Hui merchants to respond, and the content of the newspaper quickly spread in the audience.

The headline of this four-page tabloid called "Jinling Bulletin" is a conspicuous headline: Commenting on the prostitutes of the Jinling Oiran Competition, and the exclusive inside information is distributed.

People who are familiar with Jia Huan know that this language style is his handwriting at a glance.

A moment later, sitting in the hall on the first floor of the Shengqi Building, the high-ranking officials, dignitaries, celebrities, and scholars who were waiting and watching Jia Huan's paintings all received newspapers quietly sent in by their entourage.

At this time, half an hour had passed since Jia Huan began to paint, and he had just sketched a beginning structure on the scroll. The ten prostitutes waiting in the hall all tried to keep their smiles on their faces, trying to keep their best side. With this ten beautiful pictures, their worth and reputation will definitely soar.

At this moment, Chen Gaolang suddenly spoke, "Evil words confuse the public. Outrageous! ”

Ever since the newspaper arrived, the quiet atmosphere in the hall had become a bit noisy, and there was a low noise of discussion everywhere. At this time, Chen Gaolang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, who had read the first report, couldn't help but be angry, his face was gloomy, and he slapped the newspaper on the table.

Mr. Zhongsan, who was sitting in the first place, smiled slightly in his heart, and he also had a copy of the "Jinling Briefing" in his hand.

To be an official and achieve the level of the second grade, it is good to cultivate qi and kung fu. However, Chen Gaolang couldn't help but be angry.

In the newspaper, the Chen family was called "a certain scholar". first praised the popular Zinan girl fiercely, clarified the reason why she has recently become popular on the Qinhuai River, and then turned her pen to compare Su Shishi, who won the first place on the first day of the semi-finals, with Zinan, praising Su and depreciating purple between the lines.

In the article, at the end, it was written: "The main reason why the Zinan girl won the championship was that a certain scholar praised it. A caring magistrate should be able to find out that the eldest son of a certain family has a close relationship with the Zinan girl. It's not that her strength surpasses Su Shishi. Just talking about appearance, it is very inferior. If you want to know the style of the Oiran, you still have to meet Miss Su Shishi. I don't know Su Shishi in the capital, and it is in vain to read all over the Qinglou. ”

After reading the whole article, to put it simply, the previous favorites such as Zinan and Yuan Jingxiang are all praised by others, not surpassing Su Shishi at the level, involving black-box operations, which is unfair and just. The real Jiangnan Oiran should be Su Shishi.

Saying in public that he is engaged in black-box operations is a moral issue, how can Chen Shangshu endure it?

In the hall, the voice of discussion suddenly became louder. Zhen Yingjia, who was involved, said dissatisfiedly: "Guozi Prison Physiology should study hard, why do you linger in the Qinglou?" Immediately, there was a voice of echo and accusation.

Wei Hong looked at the newspaper and pondered, he already felt the power of the newspaper's Chinese characters. A person has one mouth, and if you say it, will the people in the audience outside listen? I'm afraid that the outside is already questioning the fairness of the competition, right?

Jia Yucun groaned and drank wine, his eyes swirling on Jia Huan, who was concentrating on painting. If you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with Jia Huan, he doesn't believe it. Many things, you don't need evidence, you just need opinions.

Mr. Zhongsan did not stop Jia Huan's painting at this time, nor did he quickly announce the ranking, but drank with a wine glass. Still fermented by the situation.

With the statements of Chen Gaolang, Zhen Yingjia and others, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became tense. Wei Hong persuaded him: "Rumors stop at the wise. You need not be angry. Ask Lord Jia to send someone to drive away the Guozijian who distributed the newspaper. ”

To say that the tabloids and big-character posters of the dynasty were inherited from the Ming Dynasty. The big-character posters were secretly pasted on the eight-character walls outside the yamen at all levels. Outside the eight-character wall, there are idlers and down-and-out readers who gather there every day. Word will spread soon.

To run a tabloid is to find a place with a dense flow of people like the Jinling Briefing, and distribute it like a leaflet. Flash after sending. Or, at night, drop books through the cracks of the gates of the city's magnates and schools. As soon as the news is strong, the custody will spread immediately.

Jia Yucun nodded, and immediately called a chief to come over and ordered him to go outside to deal with the matter. The Jinling Mansion has officials and head catchers to maintain order outside.

There is no such thing as arresting prisoners. Even the emperor can't afford the charge of "blocking the way of speech". History is clear. Not to mention officials at all levels. Scholars have the right to speak. You just don't preach rebellion. Scolding the emperor and officials is commonplace. Of course, don't scold to your face. That's very risky.

This time it's just a bit more serious. I made a tabloid to comment on the Oiran, which seriously damaged the interests of some people. But the second ranking of civil officials in the household department Shangshu Weihong decided the sex first, and it was just a rumor. Not to the extent of arresting and torture. Shilin public opinion is not a joke.

"Made!"

"I'll go!"

"His uncle's!"

"This!"

In the Shizi seat, Luo Ziche and Tong Zhengyan in the trio of the Donglin Party were alternately using interjections. Who would have expected Jia Huan to play such a hand? They are friends with Han Jin, and they are very familiar with the language style of Jia Huan's newspaper: vernacular text, which requires them to understand at a glance.

Obviously, the current situation is that if the "jury" determines the Zinan girl as the Oiran in accordance with the established procedure, it will confirm the "accusation" that the competition is unfair and unjust. Mr. Nakasan is hosting the Oiran Contest for the first time, and he must leave a reputation! Otherwise, it will be doubtful whether he will preside over next year.

Moreover, there is a very serious problem, even if the Zinan girl is set as the Oiran, but is this thing set to become? It's up to you to see if you recognize it! If everyone runs to Su Shishi at the banquet after the game, who do you say is the Oiran in Jiangnan?

I don't know Su Shishi in the capital, and it is in vain to read all over the Qinglou.

This slogan is too fierce. Rich people, even if they have a cup of tea with Su Shishi and meet her, they have to go to see her.

This method, this routine, you can't accept it! Jia Huan obviously wants to create an Oiran without a title, but in the actual sense!

Of course, the determination of Su Shishi as the Oiran must involve the interests of all parties, as well as the rules of the schedule, all of which are over, can the result be overturned? Except for Zinan, are the other famous prostitutes convinced?

Han Jin ignored the exclamation of the two, and sighed long: "I was taught another lesson!" Fortunately, Ziyu didn't pay attention to what we were doing. ”

They came from Suzhou, as long as they made sure that the reason for the Zhen family's deficit spread among the Jiangnan Shilin. The Oiran Contest is just an incidental appreciation. Of course, Zinan's fame in the early stage was secretly operated by Han Jin.

The situation in the hall, looking left and right, Mr. Nakasan is now in a dilemma. But he was still smiling and drinking, chatting and laughing with the Jiangnan celebrities on his right-hand side.

The atmosphere is a little delicate! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
