Chapter 41: A Hundred Flowers
A light suddenly lit up on the stage, and a woman who looked very elegant and generous stood in the middle of the stage, she was dressed very elegantly, and a light lotus flower was embroidered on her long silk skirt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoHer makeup is not exquisite, but it gives people a dignified feeling, like everyone's ladies, that is the poetry girl.
Tianqing watched silently in the background. She has seen the poetry girl, and at first glance she is a woman who has been influenced by poetry since childhood, and she is not as enchanting as other fireworks girls. It's just that there is a melancholy atmosphere all day long, which also makes her whole person look a little gloomy. Tianqing has seen the program of this feast, and the reason why the poet girl is on first is because he wants a generous opening. Next is some bewitching girls take turns to perform, originally the last is the finale of the Qin girl, but Yi's mother seems to be to solemnly "sell" herself, so that the dignitaries and nobles know that Yishui Yuan has a new beautiful girl, and she let herself be the last one. For this reason, Miss Qin and Yi's mother quarreled for a long time, but there was nothing they could do. This is also the reason why Miss Qin doesn't like her, but who cares? Tianqing chuckled and continued to read.
The poet girl danced a white dance, her footwork was gentle, her dancing posture was elegant, her dance clothes were white, and her eyes were resentful. The people in the audience were fascinated, as if they had entered a fairy dream. "Raising eyebrows and turning the shaft like snow flying, Allure is independent of the world." Tianqing was also deeply moved by this elegant dance, and gently chanted such a poem.
"Hmph, you look poor, still chanting poetry here?" That caustic and familiar voice appeared behind Tianqing again.
Tianqing sneered and said, "The poetry girl danced very well. ā
Miss Qin walked up slowly, and said disdainfully, "Alas, she can only dance these, and if it is any other skill, she will not be able to compare with mine." And she has a sad face all day long, and she doesn't want to pick up customers, Yi's mother doesn't like her anymore! Unlike me, those dignitaries and nobles like me, and if I don't give face, they will wait for dozens of days just to see me. ā
Tianqing smiled lightly and said, "How majestic is Miss Qin, to be honest...... It has nothing to do with me. ā
Miss Qin's smile stiffened again, she was about to lose her temper, and suddenly thought that this would ruin her makeup, so she had to glance at Tianqing, "You just wait and see!" Then he put on his embroidered shoes and left.
Tianqing smiled lightly and slowly opened the box placed next to it, which contained a fine piano. She took the piano with her when she came down the mountain, and she didn't expect it to come in handy. She gently stroked the word "missing" on the piano, and thought firmly in her heart: Master, today I will let your piano come out again! In order to prevent being discovered by others, Tianqing covered the word "missing" with a cloth and continued to watch the performance on the field.
The poetry girl's dance has ended, and the audience burst into warm applause. The uninjured person sitting in the Tianzi room also applauded. Xiang Yiquan looked at him, and hurriedly approached to avoid injury and said, "Second prince, how did that girl dance?" ā
"It's really good." Unhurt nodded in satisfaction.
"Actually......" Xiang Yiquan's words hadn't been said yet, and the audience was already bustling.
"One hundred taels!" Suddenly, someone in the audience reported the numbers.
"Two hundred taels!" "Two hundred and fifty taels!" ā¦ā¦
Tianqing was shocked, why did they report the money? It's not just a dinner party, but aren't all geisha on the stage? Tianqing looked at the poetry girl again, she lowered her head and looked sad, as if she was used to such things. Could it be that they are still selling these girls to the people in the audience under the guise of a show? And in this form of auction, they are collecting money! Tianqing frowned, if this is the case, he may also fall into the abyss, Tianqing began to think of countermeasures.
"This!" Weiyang saw the situation in the audience, "What are they doing?" ā
Xiang Yiquan looked indifferent and said: "Every year today, there will be such a dinner, the girls perform on stage, and the nobles who like it will bid, and the highest can stay with that girl for one night." These girls are all geisha, and they usually don't sell their bodies! Only today's ......" After speaking, he looked at the uninjured, "Second prince, you just said that this girl is good, do you want to bid?" ā
Saying this, there was an unspeakable anger on both the faces of Weixian and Weiyang, and they looked at each other and didn't speak.
Xiang Yiquan couldn't look at the sycophants, so he had to keep his mouth shut and continue to watch. He thought, this girl must be too plain, and the following few charming and coquettish ones must be able to enter their eyes.
"Five hundred taels!" In the end, the poetry girl was taken away by a young master surnamed Wang for five hundred taels. She walked off the stage lonely, was held in her arms by Young Master Wang, and left. Tianqing watched all this silently, a little sad. She knew what was going to happen next, but she didn't dare to think about it again. She just thought of the sad but helpless eyes of the poet girl, and her heart was sad for a while.
Next, one by one the girls performed on stage, and they were also taken away by the sons and gentlemen. Some of them danced, some sang two voices. But no one played the piano, needless to say, everyone who wanted to play the piano was stopped by the piano girl, not wanting others to steal the limelight! Tianqing glanced at the Qin girl who was preparing with disdain, and the next program was the Qin girl's.
The girl carried the piano to the stage, sat down elegantly, glanced at the Tianzi room, smiled shyly, and played.
"Big brother, she just seemed to be looking at you." Weixian glanced at Weiyang meaningfully and said.
Weiyang didn't speak, and glanced at Xiang Yiquan. The eyes were cold and aggressive.
Xiang Yiquan was startled and spoke in a panic: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I definitely didn't tell Superman the news that you came here, I promise, it must be a coincidence!" That girl could ...... It's in the background that I have taken a fancy to you, you see, your temperament and demeanor ......"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. My brother Wang still wants to see a show! Weixian waved his hand impatiently, and at the same time teased Weiyang.
Tianqing saw Miss Qin's movements, and also guessed that Weiyang must be in the Tianzi room, she sneered, and also wanted to see if Weiyang would want her.
The Qin girl played "The Autumn Moon of the Han Palace", as everyone knows, "The Autumn Moon of the Han Palace" is a piece of music about Zhaojun, and the smile of the Qin girl also reveals a kind of melancholy and sadness, yes. Tianqing sneered, this song was played to Weiyang. Miss Qin described herself as a lowly palace maid and Weiyang as the emperor, revealing that she wanted to break through the shackles of etiquette and longing for love. What a beautiful story it was supposed to be, but why was the performance so disgusting for them? Tianqing gritted his teeth, and the anger in his heart grew bigger and bigger.
"Brother Wang, she played "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace"!" The unwounded smile grew stranger and stranger, revealing a mockery.
Weiyang's face became more and more ugly, he really didn't like this, it seemed to be imposed on himself, and this woman was too purposeful, her expression seemed to be practiced in advance. Weiyang sneered, not taking her seriously.
The song has fallen, and the nobles in the audience have also begun to bid.
