Boom!
He Shen felt as if his brain had suddenly been enlightened and became much clearer.
He looked around. The surrounding terrain, the mountain, and even the number of leaves on the branches of the small trees by the roadside. These things that he had forgotten in the past were now imprinted in his mind after he saw them.
He couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.
"F * ck, this photographic memory skill is really awesome. In the future, studying and whatnot won't be a problem for me.”
He Shen exclaimed after experimenting with his new ability.
With the three items he had just won from the lottery, he would be able to do well in this world in the future.
Six hours later, around dusk, He Shen finally arrived at the capital.
The capital was indeed the capital of the Qing Dynasty. The city walls were about ten feet high.
Even though it was close to dusk, there were still people coming and going in front of the city gate. There were pedestrians queuing up at the city gate.
On both sides of the city gate, there were four rows of elite soldiers with ten people in each row. They were wearing shiny armor and holding sharp spears.
Not far from the city gate, there was a group of more than a thousand royal guards.
He Shen entered the capital.
Walking on the broad main road of the capital, he saw that the capital was worthy of being the foot of the emperor. The carriages and carriages of the imperial court officials passed by from time to time, and he could also see one or two foreigners from time to time. The shops and stalls on both sides of the street were even more dazzling.
From time to time, there would be other scholars who were also wearing scholar robes walking past him. From the looks of it, they should be the same as him, coming to the capital to participate in the general examination.
"Hurry up and leave! Let's go! The number one beauty of Jiangnan, Chen Yuanyuan, had come to the capital and was now in Spring Breeze Courtyard.”
"I heard that Chen Yuanyuan is so beautiful that she can topple a country. She's so beautiful that it's impossible to describe her.”
……
Just as He Shen was strolling around the capital, two scholars in a hurry suddenly walked past him and their conversation fell into He Shen's ears.
He Shen's footsteps suddenly stopped. His body seemed to have been immobilized as he stood rooted to the ground, his lips twitching slightly.
Chen Yuanyuan!
Wasn't she one of the top ten famous courtesans in China who caused the change of dynasties in the Ming and Qing Dynasties?
Logically speaking, she should have appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Why would she appear in the Qianlong period?
After thinking for a long time, He Shen couldn't figure it out. He Shen could only sigh,"This is truly a world where time and background are extremely chaotic.”
"Hurry up and leave! Hurry up and leave."
"We have to speed up. Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be any seats left.”
As soon as the two scholars left, another three or four scholars hurried past He Shen. They also looked like they were going to see Chen Yuanyuan.
After that, three or four waves of scholars walked past He Shen.
These people were all talking about Chen Yuanyuan.
This made He Shen, who originally had no interest in Chen Yuanyuan, curious.
He followed behind these scholars and came to a place called Spring Breeze Yard.
This was an ancient wooden building with three floors. It was brightly lit and noisy.
A middle-aged woman in her thirties was standing at the door. She was dressed flirtatiously and had a thick layer of makeup on her face. She looked a little gaudy and vulgar. She was welcoming people at the door.
"Young Master, are you here to drink or to look for a lady?”
The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up when she saw He Shen.
She had been in this line of work for more than ten years and had long developed a pair of fiery eyes.
From He Shen's clothes and temperament, she could tell at a glance that this person in front of her was very likely a High Scholar who had come to participate in the capital's general exams.
He could not afford to offend such a potential person who could become the top scorer of the gold division.
"No, I'm here to see Chen Yuanyuan.”
He Shen mimicked the way the scholars who had entered said.
"Yo! So Young Master is also here to see our Miss Chen Yuanyuan. Young Master, please follow me."
This middle-aged woman, who seemed to be a brothel keeper, smiled obsequiously and pulled He Shen to the first floor of the Spring Breeze Courtyard.
Entering the lobby on the first floor, He Shen looked up and saw that it was packed with people. It was noisy and lively. Everyone was pushing cups and exchanging drinks. Almost all of them were scholars and high school candidates with achievements.
"Young Master, look. These young masters are all here to see our Miss Chen Yuanyuan. Please wait here. Miss Chen Yuanyuan will be out soon. If you need any food or wine, you can ask our waiter.”
The brothel madame brought He Shen into the hall and explained before leaving with a smile.
He Shen found an empty seat in a corner against the wall and sat down.
Then, he perked up his ears and listened to some news about Chen Yuanyuan from the chaotic environment around him.
"Did everyone hear? It was said that Chen Yuanyuan would come up with three questions today and write a poem for each question. Whoever wrote the best poem would be able to have a night with her.”
"Of course I heard, but the information I got was even more detailed. It was said that you have to pass all three questions to get the chance to have a night with Miss Chen Yuanyuan.”
"Miss Chen Yuanyuan is very knowledgeable. It won't be easy to win three questions from her.”
"If she wasn't a woman, Chen Yuanyuan might have been the top scholar.”This was Governor Ge Boyi's evaluation of Chen Yuanyuan.”
"If that's the case, aren't we in trouble? There was no possibility of getting the beauty?”
"Not really. Mu Wenfu, one of the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan, as well as Yu Minzhong, the number one talent of Shanxi, and Yu Yougong, the number one talent of Guangdong, are all here! It was said that they were the people most likely to become the top scorer in this year's imperial examination.”
……
From the conversations of the people around him, He Shen heard a lot of news about Chen Yuanyuan.
After about an hour, two beautiful maids walked out from the stairs on the second floor. One of them stood up and said to everyone in the hall downstairs,"Please be quiet. Our young lady is coming out.”
Then, a huge white curtain was pulled up from upstairs. Behind the white curtain, a blurry, alluring, and flawless reflection of a beauty sat there.
"F * ck, your pants are all down. Why are you showing me this?”
Seeing this, He Shen Qi cursed in his heart.
He thought that as long as he arrived at Spring Breeze Courtyard, he would be able to see Chen Yuanyuan herself.
In the end, you set up a curtain and hid behind it. What's the big deal about letting me see your reflection?
He Shen then remembered that this was the Qing Dynasty, which had strict etiquette.
Looking at the people around them who were already used to it, it was likely that all the famous courtesans of this era appeared in this way.
"I offer ten thousand taels of gold to buy a chance to chat with Miss Chen Yuanyuan for a night.”
At this moment, a voice sounded from the crowd.
He Shen looked in that direction and saw a wealthy merchant sitting there. He was about 40 years old, wearing a long silk robe and a councilor's hat. He had a big belly and a mustache.
However, what surprised He Shen was that the words of this wealthy businessman were directly ignored by everyone sitting there.
The two maids under Chen Yuanyuan didn't even look at this rich merchant. They had seen many people who wanted to use money to woo their miss.
"I'm called Yin Ling, she's called Jin Chai, she's the young miss 'maid.”
Seeing that the entire hall on the first floor had suddenly quietened down, the petite and delicate maid beside her said.
"Our young miss has set up three questions today. Every young master who answers one of them and is confirmed by our young miss will receive a different reward. If you answer the first question, you'll get the chance to meet and talk to our miss. If you answer the second question, you will get the chance to have supper with our young miss. If you answer the third question, you will get the chance to chat with our young miss at night. As for reaching that stage, it would depend on the talents of the young masters.”
Another tall maidservant, Jin Chai, stood out to remind him.
