Chapter 160: Meeting the Teacher for the First Time (Part 2)

"You bastard, Fengyuelou! I haven't been in once. Gao Yanei has been in twice. You don't give me such a good opportunity..."

Zheng Rongtai shouted loudly with great dissatisfaction, but Li Yanqing blocked his mouth with one sentence, "Do you want Li Shishi to drink and listen to music with you?"

"think!"

"If you want to, just follow my arrangements. Let's come back next time. I will write a poem for you. You can go in and find her!"

Zheng Rongtai stopped making trouble. He blinked the green bean's little eyes, "Are you coaxing me? Is there such a good thing?"

......

On the second floor of Fengyue Building, in a gorgeous lobby, an old man with all beards is carefully reading today's poems for entering the building. The old man is about 60 years old, tall and thin, with a bit of a fairy-like appearance. His name is Zhou Bangyan, and he is a famous poet in the Song Dynasty. Now the Dasheng Mansion, who is in charge of music in the court, is serving as a prestigious judge.

His other identity is the worship of the Alum Tower, who wrote and composed lyrics for the dancer and the musician of the Alum Tower. He was relatively leisurely in the court affairs and spent a lot of time enjoying fine wine in the Alum Tower. This is also the characteristic of many poets in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was very talented and was addicted to alcohol.

"Yue Niang, these words are well written! Why don't you let them enter Fengyue Tower?"

Zhou Bangyan was puzzled. The quality of these students was still good. It could be seen that these poems were carefully prepared and were definitely not temporary and hasty works. Poems that were worse than this before were all entered Fengyue Tower, but why was it rejected by Shishi today?

A young woman adjusting her strings sat opposite Zhou Bangyan. She was about seventeen years old and was wearing a white long dress with no makeup on her face. She had a clear and beautiful face, a pair of beautiful eyes like a deep pool, shiny like gems, long eyelashes, and crystal clear skin like snow.

But her beauty does not lie in her appearance, but in a spirit-striking temperament. Her every move, every frown and smile is extremely beautiful, making people shaken. She is like an unparalleled work of art, which can only be viewed from a distance and not be desecrated.

This young woman is Li Shishi, who is known as the first prostitute in the Song Dynasty. Prostitution and prostitute in the Song Dynasty have two completely different concepts. Prostitution means that it is a living by selling one's body. Most of them live in brothels and have a low status.

Prostitutes refer to making a living by selling their art. They often have extremely high artistic cultivation. Their status in the Song Dynasty was like that of ordinary people and were not discriminated against. They mainly lived in music halls, dance halls and church halls. Ordinary families would invite dance philanders to celebrate their birthdays. Singing girls came to their homes to sing and dance to entertain themselves. Even the bride's bridesmaids were often held by female prostitutes.

However, prostitutes are divided into levels. Prostitutes with lower levels are often reluctant to sell themselves while performing their skills. Prostitutes with slightly higher levels serve palace escorts and major restaurants. They occasionally sacrifice themselves for their guests when they come to their own interests. For example, Zheng Rongtai spent 300 taels of silver to impress a singing girl in the Alum Tower to accompany him.

When it comes to top famous prostitutes, such as Su Xiaoqing, Yan Xijiao, Xie Suqiu, Li Shishi, and Liang Hongyu, their reputation is based on their talents and their bodies are as beautiful as jade. They will never give up their chastity easily. Many guests spend a lot of money on them, and they can only win the smile of the beauty.
