Chapter 7 The Four Uniques
"No, no, the waist is too stiff. ”
As he spoke, a wooden ruler had already beckoned to Qingge's little buttocks.
"Do it all over again. Dressed in a red dress, the bewitching woman shouted to Qingge dissatisfiedly.
Qingge frowned, and tried to dance as she said, but she couldn't satisfy her, and she ate a lot of rulers over the past few days.
"Give me practice, practice until I'm satisfied. ”
"Yes. Qingge covered his ass and couldn't stop screaming in his heart.
"Hahaha......" Hua Tao'er held her stomach and laughed happily.
Qingge glared at her, and said angrily: "Don't think that you can laugh at me if you dance well." ”
"Uncle, please drink tea. ”
Qingge held the tea bowl and said to the turtle who was kneeling and pretending to be a guest, her tone and posture were very stiff, and the turtle was very dissatisfied, and scolded: "You talk to the guests like this, the guests must not be scared away by you, call it well, what uncle? ”
"Guest, please have tea. ”
"Wrong, wrong posture, are you asking someone to drink tea or poison? ”
"Childe, please have tea. ”
"The sound is dessert again. ”
"Childe, please have tea. ”
……
…
Compared to doing the heavy dirty work, these daily training were more difficult for Qingge, and she really wished that the bustard would let her do the rough talk, and she didn't want to learn those tricks to please the guests.
"Wow...... It's an Oiran!" I saw a gorgeous sedan chair stopped downstairs, and a beautiful woman in blue walked out of it, and Yuanyuan, who was cleaning the corridor on the second floor, saw it and cried out curiously, and the flower peach on her side immediately glared at her and said, "Isn't the soil bag that I don't know is the Oiran?" ”
Yuanyuan blushed when she said it, and Ni Zhen also looked downstairs curiously, and sighed: "It is worthy of being an Oiran, the pomp is big, and even the bustard flatters her." ”
"In a place like this, no matter how beautiful it is, do you really feel happy?" Qingge said to herself as she was wiping the floor with a rag when she heard their words.
“…… But it's still happier than many people in the building, at least you don't have to do rough work, you earn more money than other girls, and you don't have to look at the bustard's face. Ni Zhen didn't know what she was thinking, and the whole person was thoughtful.
"Hey, you don't think like that, do you?" Hua Tao'er smacked.
"No!" Ni Zhen immediately denied it, and explained clumsily: "I, I just think the other girls are pitiful." ”
"Phew. Hua Tao'er pouted boringly.
"Hey, guys, why don't you hurry up and clean up, do you want me to be left alone?" Qingge stopped and shouted to them breathlessly.
"I'm sorry, Qingge. Yuanyuan immediately moved, and so did Ni Zhen, only Hua Tao'er didn't care about throwing the rag in her hand to Yuanyuan, "It's good if you help me do this kind of dirty work, I'm going to practice dancing, thank you." She didn't care if they wanted it or not, they had already run away.
Qingge glanced at her helplessly, and muttered, "This girl is so willful." He turned his head to Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, I'll do her part." ”
Yuan Yuan shook his head and smiled without minding: "It's okay Qingge, I'll do it." ”
Ni Zhen glared at Hua Tao'er's arrogant back without a trace, and then lowered her head to work.
Although Qingge planned to find an opportunity to escape every time, it was easy to think and act, and the old bustard did not give them any chance to escape, and in such an uneasy situation, time flew by, and seven years passed in the blink of an eye.
Seven years later, in the first year of Jian'an
According to their own means, the old bustard really cultivated them into the four uniques in Huayan Building, and the fame of the four uniques of Huayan Building gradually spread in Jingzhou as they grew up, attracting those dignitaries and distinguished guests to come in an endless stream just to see the style of the four uniques.
At this time, Qingge has changed her name to Qiu Ling, Hua Tao'er is called Xia Zhen'er, Ni Zhen is called Chunzhi, and Yuanyuan is called Dong Cicada, spring, summer, autumn and winter are arranged according to their age, but in private they still call each other their original names.
It was night, there was an endless stream of cars and horses outside the Huayan Building, the guests who respected their identity got down from the carriage and horses, and the miscellaneous servants and turtle slaves in the building shuttled back and forth between the guests with wine.
There is a stage specially built for performance on the huge open space between the building and the building, the pink veil on the stage hangs down from the top layer upon layer, the stage is a meter away, the bluestone slab paved ground neatly placed many low tables, a row of ten, placed in twelve rows in turn, the low tables are prepared with wine and exquisite snacks, next to each of them are placed for kneeling cushions, in turn according to the identity of the guests and the price to arrange the position of tonight's viewing, on both sides of the more than a dozen courtyards, in case some do not know what to do, and can not afford the guests to mix in, at this time the guests wearing brocade robes and jade belts have been led over one after another, began to sit down one after another, and after a while has been full。
The stage is still quiet, the candles on both sides are bright, the moon is bent out of the dark clouds, it seems to be looking forward to the next performance, when the guests have drunk all the wine, there is nothing to talk about, and finally when they are impatient, four beautiful figures finally appeared behind the tulle, only to hear the sound of the piano playing faintly, a Qianqianyu hand poked out from the hazy pink tulle, and the guests in the audience unconsciously held their breath, obsessively staring at the shadow.
After a while, an elegant and pleasant singing voice ethereated out from the layers of tulle, the tulle on both sides was lifted, a beauty was naked feet, swaying a slender figure slowly stepped out, her forehead painted a pink lotus with green leaves, the bright and clear eyes of the water are just like the deep pool water, and the pink lotus is floating on this pool of water, the beauty is moving, the dimples that loom between the cheeks and smiles add countless loveliness.
Beautiful!
The guests in the audience all sighed, and their eyes were eager to stick to the beauty.
The long-sleeved dance to the ground, another green dress beauty with a pleasant singing voice fluttered again, her appearance is different from the beauty just now, slightly inferior to it, but it is better than that as clear and clean as spring water, the two sang and danced, stepping on the small broken lotus step swaying the waist, like two open lotus flowers, beautiful and unattainable.
In the tulle behind them, one of the two beauties played the piano, and the other played the pipa accompaniment, which was hazy and even more intriguing.
A dance is over
The sound of the piano stopped, the guests still couldn't wake up, the elegant and tactful singing still lingered in the ears, and refused to disperse for a long time.
"Good, good, it is worthy of the four uniques of Jingzhou, it is really wonderful!"
In the corner of the back row, an old man in a blue robe fell on Ni Zhen who turned to leave after the tulle, just now when the tulle was blown by the wind, he inadvertently saw this quiet woman playing behind the tulle, his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a touch of encroachment, and the servant on the side saw that the old man was thinking about the woman, and said: "If the old man likes to buy it." ”
"Yes. The old man nodded, apparently having the same idea.
Cheerful laughter sounded in the dimly lit corridor, and then only a nice voice could be heard complaining: "This old bustard is so stingy, obviously our appearance fee is so high, and we only give us such a little at a time, who will we send?" ”
After each performance, the bustard would send someone to give them some bounty, and they were very happy when they got the bounty at first, but as the price of their appearance skyrocketed, the bounty did not increase, and Qingge became more and more dissatisfied.
Hua Tao'er was also very angry, "It's useless to say this, you have the ability to call her forward, it's weird to give you more goods, I'm angry!"
Qingge frowned, turned his face to look at Ni Zhen, who was silent all the way to his side, and asked, "Ni Zhen, what's wrong with you? ”
"Her face wasn't always like that. Hua Tao'er sneered when she heard this, and her mouth began to owe it again, "People are born with such a bitter face, what can be done." ”
"Hua Tao'er, your mouth is too hateful. Qingge glared at her, this girl's mouth can either sweeten you or anger you, it's really contradictory.
"Hmph!" Hua Tao'er turned her head to look out of the porch nonchalantly.
Usually Ni Zhen will definitely quarrel with her, but this time I am afraid that there is really something in my heart, and I will not quarrel with her, but sigh in a low voice, "How can I not worry, I am now in time, and I don't seem to be able to sing and dance, sooner or later the bustard will force me to pick up guests." ”
Could it be that her life was cut short here?
Living a day of forced laughter?Ni Zhen thought about it and suddenly burst into tears.
When she cried, Qingge panicked, and hurriedly comforted: "Ni Zhen, don't cry, we will definitely find a way to stop the old bustard from doing this when the time comes." ”
"Yes, Ni Zhen, don't cry. Yuan Yuan also comforted.
Ni Zhen gently wiped away her tears with her sleeve and said lightly: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to stop it at that time." ”
"No, we'll be able to figure it out then. Although Qingge is so comforting, but he has no bottom in his heart, now it is not only Ni Zhen, even the three of them are in danger, thinking about it like this, his heart is gloomy, according to the old bustard's methods, how should they hide from it then?
"Thank you, Qingge. Ni Zhen smiled reluctantly, feeling a little comforted in her heart.
"Don't worry, let's find a way to face it together, okay?" Qingge finished speaking, chuckling and running forward with a slender hand to lift the green skirt, his posture was brisk, and his hair was full of green silk.
"Go back and count her money. Hua Tao'er sneered at her rushing figure.
Qingge ran all the way back to her room, climbed onto the bed, found the dark grid in the corner, and took out a vermilion bag inside, the bag was heavy, and it contained the silver reward that Qingge had earned from dancing in the past two years.
Qingge counted very slowly, no matter what she thought in her heart, the amount of silver should still be how much, and the gap between redemption and redemption was still very large, she lay down on her back in annoyance, thinking about how to let the old bustard give them more, maybe if she could make some extra money privately.
It's seven years in the blink of an eye, and it's surprisingly fast, and before they know it, they've been here for so long.
I wonder how Daddy is now?
