After one stick of incense, everyone's eyes regained clarity, but their gazes were still fiery, which showed the charm of red carp.
However, when everyone looked at the stage again, they found that the red dress had disappeared.
"Where's Miss Red Carp?"
"Don't go! I rode my horse for five days and five nights from Dongwu County just to see Miss Hongli's beauty."
"Miss Hongli, I want to redeem you!"
......
Amid the shouts of the crowd, a woman in her thirties, as ripe as a peach, walked up to the stage, fanning herself with a swaying hand.
"Dear guests, our Miss Hongli has finished dancing and gone to rest." The mature woman said with a sweet smile.
The guests immediately shouted in dissatisfaction. The mature woman saw this and quickly said, "Don't worry, there is still a chance to meet Miss Hongli."
"What opportunity?" a curious person in the audience shouted.
"Miss Hongli has asked a question. If you can answer it, you can go to the backyard and drink with her and have a chat by candlelight."
Everyone got excited when they heard this and immediately shouted at the woman to take the question.
The mature woman told the servant beside her to get it. Not long after, the servant walked onto the stage respectfully, holding a wooden tray with a scroll on it.
When Gu Qingfeng on the second floor saw the scroll, his eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that today is the time for me to show off my skills again?
As someone who has read countless online novels, he is naturally familiar with this kind of plot.
The protagonist arrives at a brothel, and shocks everyone with the Tang and Song poems he memorized in his previous life. He is then admired by the courtesan and has sex with her for free!
I didn't expect that I would happen to encounter such a good thing?
I am familiar with the Three Hundred Tang Poems!
As long as they are not the ones who have escaped the compulsory education net, anyone picked out from China can recite a few poems, and all of them are masterpieces put here.
Come up with questions quickly, no matter if it's about love, flowers, snow and moon, lamenting the world, or feeling sad about autumn and nostalgia, any type is fine. China has 5,000 years of cultural heritage, so no matter how biased your questions are, I can find the corresponding poem.
Soon, under the urging of everyone, the mature woman opened the scroll.
This scroll turned out to be a painting, painted with flowers of various shapes and sizes, competing with each other in beauty, including peonies, roses, plum blossoms, peach blossoms, crabapples... a rough count showed that there were no less than a hundred kinds.
Gu Qingfeng was delighted when he saw it. Flowers as the theme? This is too simple! He could come up with at least ten poems just by thinking about it.
Which one should I choose?
Flowers shed tears when feeling sad, birds are frightened when feeling sad? It doesn't seem to be appropriate.
I don't know where the person is, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze? It seems a bit sad.
The spring scenery in the garden cannot be contained, and a red apricot tree is growing out of the wall? Oh! This is good!
Just as Gu Qingfeng was thinking, the mature woman suddenly shook the scroll violently, and in an instant, something magical happened.
The flowers on the scroll suddenly came alive one by one, rushing out from the scroll, and in the blink of an eye they covered the entire stage!
The originally wide stage unexpectedly turned into a garden.
For a moment, the stage was filled with a myriad of flowers in all colors, with butterflies flying and bees collecting nectar. Everyone could even smell the refreshing fragrance of the flowers.
"Another illusion?" Gu Qingfeng was stunned: "Does it take so much effort to write a poem?"
"My dear guests, this is a painting of a hundred flowers in full bloom that Miss Hongli painted herself. Although it is an illusion, three of these flowers are real. The task this time is to find three real flowers from among the thousands of flowers. Each person can only choose one. This means that in the end, three people will be able to go to the backyard and meet Miss Hongli. All right, let's get started."
Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment. Wasn't it a poem? How did it become an illusion?
But then he thought again, this is a fantasy martial arts world after all, not a world like ancient China.
Here, warriors are the mainstream and there is no place for literati and poets at all, so how could they come up with topics for poetry? Of course, it has to be something related to martial arts.
Alas, the novel misled me!
Before Gu Qingfeng traveled through time, he had seen many protagonists in novels. When he arrived in the fantasy world, he recited a good poem that caused everyone to exclaim in amazement. But when they thought about it carefully, how could it be possible?
Martial arts are valued over literature, and the strong dominate everything. Who would listen to your poetry? It is not as attractive as a strong man explaining the way of cultivation.
However, Gu Qingfeng was not afraid of identifying illusions. With his soul power comparable to that of a master, how could he dare to show off his skills in a mere illusion?
"Fatty Wang, Daze Xu, come on, let's go downstairs and play with me." Gu Qingfeng called to his left and right and was about to go downstairs.
But who knew that at this moment, Xu Daizi suddenly said, "Master Gu, Fatty Wang went down early."
Damn it! Fatty Wang!
A black line appeared on Gu Qingfeng's forehead. He looked towards the stage and saw a fat man weighing more than 300 pounds squeezing in the crowd looking for flowers.
Dengdengdeng......
Gu Qingfeng also went downstairs.
At this time, many people had already picked a flower from the bush and took it to the mature women for inspection. However, just after they took two steps with the flower, the flower in their hands suddenly disappeared, like an illusion.
The person who realized that he had taken the fake flowers immediately stood there beating his chest and stamping his feet, lamenting that he had missed a good opportunity.
Gu Qingfeng ignored the others and used his soul power to sweep lightly. He immediately found the real flower. Without saying a word, he walked to the real flower, picked it up, and handed it to the mature woman next to him.
When the mature woman saw that Gu Qingfeng found the real flower so quickly, a hint of surprise flashed in her peach blossom eyes and she quickly congratulated him.
Then he said to everyone, "Let us congratulate this gentleman for being the first to find the real flower."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests were in an uproar, and all eyes were focused on Gu Qingfeng. Some powerful warriors had already seen that Gu Qingfeng's cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi Gathering, and they couldn't help but be even more surprised.
I didn't expect Gu Qingfeng to be so fast.
However, they were only surprised for a moment, and then they hurried to continue looking for flowers, because Gu Qingfeng took one, and there were only two left.
"Sir, please move to the backyard." A girl dressed as a maid walked up to Gu Qingfeng and said respectfully.
Gu Qingfeng nodded, and was about to be the first to walk into the backyard under everyone's envious gaze, but at this moment, he was stopped by Fatty Wang.
Fatty Wang squeezed through the crowd with sweat all over his forehead, and came to Gu Qingfeng's side, saying with a flattering face: "Master Gu, you are really capable. You found it first. How about... you help me find it too?"
Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly: "Want me to help you? No problem, one hundred taels."
Fatty Wang was horrified: "One... one hundred taels? Sir Gu, how can I have that much money?"
"No money? You dare to order Hua Ji when you have no money? Do you know that the price of Hua Ji is one hundred taels? You can expect to be kicked out of Tianxianglou in a while."
Fatty Wang's face suddenly changed, and he quickly flattered, "Sir, please stop teasing me. Didn't you say that it was you who treated us today?"
Gu Qingfeng glared at him: "You know it's my treat, but you still dare to order Hua Ji? You are committing an even greater crime. Just wait for it!"
