Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

The whole peony garden is divided into several parts, the red flowers are mainly called Jingdanhong, the pink ones are full of visitors, the white white cranes are lying in the snow, the yellow ones are peach-yellow guests, and the blue scenery after the rain and so on.Although the peonies in Pengxian County are not as luxurious as those in the north, their single petals hang upside down, which is very interesting.

In the middle are the rare varieties cultivated by the gardener. Among them, there was a peony with 1000 flowers, which was bought by a wealthy businessman for [-] taels of silver that day.

Tang Yin looked at it in amazement: "Father, this flower can cover our family's five-year expenses."

Tang Guangde nodded: "Yes, but the gardener has spent a lot of effort in cultivating this plant, and it is right to get more."

Everyone wandered around the garden for a day, and finally, under the attack of Tang Xiaodi's pitiful eyes, everyone walked out with unsatisfied interest. Tang Yin was full of interest. He felt that today's trip gave him a lot of inspiration, and he would immediately create a painting of Ming Dynasty peonies. picture.

In the evening, Gui Yaozu brought the Tang family to the newly built Lanting Yayuan, "This is a newly built house in our county. During the Peony Festival, only outsiders can stay with the guide. I borrowed all of you today." , I'm so curious." After speaking, Gui Yaozu smiled embarrassedly.

Hearing what he said, the Tang family also became interested, "Fortunately, I started early, and the single-family courtyard has already been booked. Now we can live in the building, otherwise we can only take a carriage to Mengyang County to stay overnight. .”

Gui Yaozu said, and then he thought about it again: "However, it is convenient for the car to pick up and drop off. We can go there to inquire about it in two days. Brother Tang does not know that the origin of the cement is Mengyang."

Tang Guangde said expectantly: "Then I really want to see it."

Tang Yin and Tang Shen didn't want to listen to these trivial matters between adults, so the two brothers took the house cards and went to open the door excitedly.

After everyone went in, they found that the room was extremely strange, the hall and the bedroom were next to each other.Qiu was a little dissatisfied: "Yin'er, Shen'er, don't run around, the Feng Shui here is not very good, and it's so inconvenient for everyone to live in such a compact place."

Gui Yaozu smiled and said: "My younger siblings don't know about it, and they won't sell it in the future, and the living environment here is quiet, and there are officials patrolling all the time. The most important point is that this building can accommodate hundreds of people. People, it only costs seven cents a night to stay, which is much better than an inn."

Tang Yin chimed in from the side: "Yes! Mom, I think this place is pretty good." Tang Xiaodi followed the chicken pecking rice and nodded.The two brothers were at the time when they were lively and active, and all new things were interesting in their eyes. The two of them shared the same room chatting happily all night, and finally they were reprimanded by Qiu Shi before closing their eyes and resting.

In the morning of the second day, Tang Yin hurried to the painting and calligraphy area after grabbing a mouthful of rice. This time, he deliberately left his follower and went alone. He couldn't wait to share his experience with the talented scholars in Sichuan!

When he got to the place, Tang Yin found that many people had already gathered.Some discussed poems in small groups, some researched policy theory, and even some people hung their poems and paintings around for people to appreciate.

Tang Yin has been around for a long time, and his interest has faded. He thinks that most people are just for fame and fame, and they disdain to be with them.He also didn't think about it, the Peng County Peony Festival was only held for the first time, how could it attract too many talented people, and only so few people were the result of Wen Yu's viral marketing.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, Tang Yin took a closer look, and found that it was several local celebrities invited by the organizer, and these people were in charge of judging the poetry conference.

"Poetry Conference?" Tang Yin was in high spirits, and the poems were requested to be themed with peonies, and the genre was not limited.Participants only need to go to the side to get a pen and paper, and the judges will make public comments after writing.The top three won not only a hundred taels of silver as a prize, but also let the oiran lady compose a song and sing it on the Peony Festival.

"Wen Wu No. [-], Wu Wu No. [-]" The scholars present were dissatisfied with everyone, and they were all gearing up to get off the stage. Naturally, Tang Yin was no exception. He raised his leg to get paper from the table in the northwest corner, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he bumped into someone else It's right.

Tang Yin raised his head casually, and was taken aback for a moment. There was a young man standing in front of him, who looked about his own age, with red lips and white teeth.Seeing that Tang Yin was holding the same piece of paper with him, the man was going to be modest, but found that Tang Yin was holding the paper still without any intention of it, so he snorted coldly and pulled the paper towards himself.

Tang Yin clenched it subconsciously, and the paper was torn directly.Before he could open his mouth, someone beside him mocked, "Where did you come from, how dare you snatch something from Second Young Master Wen?"

That's right, that young man was Wen Yu.Tang Yin is not a good-tempered person either. Hearing people say this, he immediately retorted: "It's a joke. You can't even speak official Chinese well and yet you laugh at others. This brother should go back and practice his words." The person in charge of him was indeed Mouth Shu accent.

"You..." The man wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wen Qiong. This time, he begged his elder brother for a long time before he was able to come out. If something happened to him, his elder brother would scold him to death, so it's better to be cautious.

But even though he talked a lot, Wen Qiong still gave Tang Yin a hard look with his eyes, Tang Yin retaliated, and there was a dark tide between the two of them.

After everyone finished writing, the judges took the submitted poems and commented one by one. It could be seen that the level of the people who came this time was really not very good, and the people on the stage frowned.

In the end, I picked out three well-written poems, the first of which could not be chosen between the two poems.

Lu Bence, a master of poetry in Central Shu, pointed to an article and said: "Only tonight, when you are worried, you will be touched, and you will fly first. You will be amazed and heavy, especially like waterfalls and springs. These four sentences are very well written. When people here write peonies, they are all Magnificent and magnificent, but the peonies in Pengxian County are famous for their strangeness and elegance, and I think this poem must be the leader."

Another person retorted: "The author of this poem expresses too personally. Look at this poem. It invites a few golden seals to burn in the sky. The golden seal grows like the sun is fading away. They can be together leisurely and replace the flying wild horses. The spring is cold. This poem was written for the peonies of Pengxian County. The beauty, I think the first should be this."

Several people argued endlessly, and in the end, no one could convince each other, so they simply tied the two poems for the first place.

There was a roll call when receiving the award, and without exception, these two were Tang Yin and Wen Qiong.After passing on the poem and singing it, Tang Yin walked up to Wen Qiong first: "I offended you so much before, I didn't expect your poems to be so good, I dare to ask your brother's name."

Wen Qiong also smiled and said: "My surname is Wen, and my name is Qiong. I live in Mengyang County. This time I came to hang out with my family." Tang Yin told him his name again.The two discussed the local conditions and customs of Mengyang, Suzhou, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became, and finally they both called each other brothers.

In the middle of speaking, Wen Qiong pulled Tang Yin's clothes and sneaked away while no one was looking.

Tang Yin was puzzled, and asked: "What about the group of people around you before, is it okay to leave like this?"

Wen Qiong curled her lips in disgust: "Those followed me just to flatter my brother. I wanted to get rid of them a long time ago. Let alone this, the singing and dancing area will open later. Let's go and see people throwing pots."

Due to the lack of war horses in the Ming Dynasty, most sports such as polo were only held in the palace, and it was extremely rare among the people.Instead, throwing pots is almost a full-fledged move.

Wen Qiong and Tang Yin entered the sports area, which was built more like a small stadium.There is a large open space in the middle, which is used for competitions, and there are a few scattered venues in the distance, which are rented by rich and idle people for their own entertainment.

When he arrived at the place, Tang Yin asked curiously: "Who is your brother? Why does everyone flatter him?" A flash of pride flashed across Wen Qiong's face: "My brother is the county magistrate of Mengyang, and he presided over this Peony Festival."

Tang Yin was surprised: "I heard from family members that Brother Ling is really admirable."

Wen Qiong continued to brag: "That is, my brother is worried about the people's daily affairs, I am afraid he will not come to this kind of event, maybe he is still sitting in the yamen to handle official business..."

"Wen Qiong, what are you doing?" Before she finished speaking, she was slapped in the face, Wen Qiong turned her head, and saw Wen Yu in a white Taoist robe, with Xu Jing at his side, frowning at him.

"Big, big brother," Wen Qiong was a little embarrassed, and immediately realized that she introduced Tang Yin to her elder brother.

When Wen Yu heard Tang Yin's name, she looked carefully at the two little ones opposite her, and then she smiled and said, "Sure enough, you are a good-looking talent. If so, Wen Qiong, why don't you go shopping with the guests more." After finishing, I will leave with Xu Jing.

Wen Qiong didn't want to, he finally had a little friend, and he was eager to show off his omnipotent elder brother in front of his friends, so he said a little ignorantly: "Brother, where are you two going, let us follow Bar."

Wen Yu was speechless, it's no wonder that he usually picks his nose and eyes at the boy, didn't he see that his elder brother is on a date!Just when he was about to refuse, Xu Jing next to him said first: "Okay, I just happened to be going to Mengyang to do something, so I can rest assured that you are with me." Then he apologized to Wen Yu, Wen Yu shook his head empathetically, and let him go to work first Bar.

As a result, as soon as they left, a black pressure appeared on Wen Yu's head.

Wen Qiong looked at her elder brother cautiously, and said quietly to Tang Yin: "How about we go throw pots?" Tang Yin readily accepted the invitation.

They also signed up for the competition. The throwing pot here is a little different from other places. There are peonies tied to the end of the arrow. The overall weight is a lot heavier, which is really difficult.

The two are still small in stature, one is a frail scholar, and participating in the competition is almost a round trip.

Wen Qiong smacked her lips regretfully: "It would be great if Brother Xu was here, he seems to be a master at throwing pots." Hearing Xu Jing's name, Wen Yu's air pressure over there became even lower.

To clear up his mood, he took the two children to the singing and dancing area, and it happened that there was an opening ceremony today.Because the curfew was very strict in the Ming Dynasty, it is not good for a county magistrate to openly violate the laws of the country, so some large-scale activities were moved to the afternoon by Wen Yu and the magistrate Yi.

In fact, this is also a test for the two of them. The modern stage is inseparable from lights and fireworks to set off the atmosphere. During the day, they can only start with the stage set.

Time was tight and tasks were heavy, Wen Yu designed seven stage effects overnight.In order to facilitate switching, the curtains are also overlapped.At that time, you only need to pull up to switch naturally.

The opening programs mainly include music, dance, and beauty contest.

Needless to say, playing music and dancing, County Magistrate Yi spent a lot of money to invite people from the Jiaofang Division from Chengdu Mansion this time, and it took nearly half a year to rehearse to complete, and the repertoire and movements are refreshing.

As for pageants.It was Wen Yu who came up with it, and the name was "Peony Fairy Club".

Invite famous prostitutes from all over Sichuan to come to Peng County, and formulate a "flower list", which is divided into order: No. She is the queen of goods and a talent in talent show all in one, leading the trend of women's dressing in Ming Dynasty.

Wen Yu divided those women into several groups, representing peonies of various colors.Since you need to buy a ticket to enter the singing and dancing area, each ticket comes with a wooden sign.After each woman performs on stage, she will have a corresponding wooden box to vote in. One person, one vote can be relatively fair.

Although the brothels in central Shu are not as developed as those on the banks of the Qinhuai River, they invite famous girls from Goulan, and many of them have a large group of fans.Talents are also first-class outstanding, some perform musical instruments, some dance, and even some tea dance swords.

When the votes were counted at the end, everyone was surprised to find that it was a woman who was not as talented as anyone else who came out on top.Wen Yu was also a little unbelievable. After looking at the woman carefully, she realized that not only was she beautiful and pitiful, but she was also assigned to the group of Bai Mudan.A white dress made her look even weaker, and I felt pity for her.

"Sure enough, men have been doing this since ancient times." Wen Yu sighed inwardly.

"It's too much! The girls in the Doulu group danced so wonderfully, why did they all vote for that kind of girl!" Wen Qiong was indignant, since after the Nongfu incident, he was not sensitive to this type of girl.

Tang Yinze objected: "Talents can be cultivated the day after tomorrow. I think that girl has an extraordinary temperament, and she must be the number one female scholar." The two quarreled for a while at this time, and Wen Qiong finally suppressed them mercilessly.

The author has something to say: the poem is made up by myself, just look at the rhymes and rhymes...

The women in the brothel are called the number one scholar and the second place in the female list. When I first wrote it, I was a little uneasy, feeling that I would insult scholars.It turns out that this is a historical fact... The beauty pageant by the Qinhuai River in the Ming Dynasty was really called ORZ

In addition, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the brothels really led the fashion, and some women from good families sent people to stay on site to see what the famous prostitutes wore so that they could learn quickly.I also felt so magical when I saw this part!
