Chapter 220: Zhu Zixiu, the suave son
Xiao Yiran carefully recalled his relationship with Zhu Zixiu, and counted that it had been almost two years. Since last spring, when Zhu Zixiu first came to this painting boat, he fell in love with Xiao Yiran, as well as Xiao Yiran's intelligence, and Xiao Yiran's versatility. So, almost every three or five days, Zhu Zixiu had to come once. The people on the entire painting boat, including the original owner of the painting boat, Zhao Qianshi, that is, Xiao Yiran's mother, only knew Zhu Gongzi's name Xiu, and as for his origin, he didn't know anything. This is also the rule on the painting boat, unless the guest declares his or her home, no one is allowed to ask about the origin of the guest.
Therefore, the entire painting boat is called Zhu Gongzi, and no one has asked Zhu Gongzi's family history. Zhu Gongzi is about sixteen or seventeen years old, not only is he good-looking, but also has a body of knowledge, and he calls himself a "student" to Xiao Yiran and others. However, the people on the painting boat are all seasoned, and from Zhu Zixiu's words and deeds, everyone can guess that this polite Zhu Gongzi is by no means a son-in-law waiting for idlers. The main thing is that every time I come, there are always four personal retinues, all of whom are cautious in their words and deeds, never saying a word nonsense, and never even dare to look at their masters. This is not something that ordinary families can teach.
"Qingwen went down to see if dinner was ready?"
"Miss, the kitchen has already reported twice, saying that dinner has already been prepared."
"Then let's hurry up and start eating."
Because Zhu Gongzi never eats on the painting boat, every time he comes is just to drink some tea, eat a few pieces of dim sum, or fresh fruits. Therefore, Xiao Yiran and others have always eaten before Zhu Gongzi's arrival.
In the process of serving Xiao Yiran to eat, Qingwen said to Xiao Yiran:
"Miss, since the death of my mother, Miss has always disliked the name of the painting boat, always said to change, but has not changed, Miss is trying to think of a name?"
After Qingwen's question, Xiao Yiran also remembered that there was such a thing. When my mother was there, I gave the painting boat the name of "Willow Smoke Boat", and from the name, it was a place of fireworks. So Xiao Yiran has never liked it very much, after the death of his mother, the painting boat is in his own hands, Xiao Yiran has moved the idea of changing the name, but he has never come up with a satisfactory name.
If he hadn't slept that night, and he didn't have the memory of the three lives that suddenly increased in his mind, Xiao Yiran's consciousness was not very opposed to selling himself to pick up customers. After all, I have been nurtured by my mother since I was a child, and I always think that it is a matter of time before I fall into the painting boat and do this business. But that's no longer the case. With the memory of the three worlds that suddenly appeared, it is impossible for Xiao Yiran to sell himself to pick up customers. Then it has become a top priority to quickly change the name of the painting boat.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Yiran said to Qingwen and Musk Yue:
"Let's change it to 'Sun and Moon Boat'."
Xiao Yiran borrowed the words "accompanied by the sun and the moon" in the ode to the master of Yuantong, and also implied that the meaning of spending the sun and the moon through the painting boat.
"'Sun and Moon Fang', Miss, this name is good, there is no more taste of the land of fireworks."
Musk Yue echoed softly, turned around to prepare pen and ink, Qingwen also thought the name was good, so she went down and asked people to take off the original sign, so that the young lady could rewrite it after the meal and hang it up again. It's just that when Xiao Yiran just finished dinner, came to the table and sat down, and wanted to write the new name "Sun Moon Fang" on the plaque that had been taken off and had been wiped clean with the original handwriting, he heard Qingwen at the door shout:
"Miss, Zhu Gongzi has arrived."
Xiao Yiran got up and greeted the door of the painting boat, and saw Zhu Zixiu wearing a moon-white robe, followed by four attendants five steps behind him, slowly walking towards the painting boat in the moonlight that had just risen. When he walked to the painting boat, he looked up and saw that the plaque with the words "Liu Yanfang" was gone, so he smiled and climbed the mountain painting boat and asked:
"Miss Ran'er, where's the plaque on the painting boat?"
"Zhu Gongzi, please come in."
Xiao Yiran bent his knees slightly, saluted Zhu Zixiu, and invited him to come to the painting boat before he spoke again:
"I always feel that the name of the painting boat is not good, and as soon as I remembered that I had to write a new name, the son arrived."
Zhu Zixiu walked to the table, saw the plaque on the table, which was already empty, and asked Xiao Yiran:
"Miss Ran'er has come up with a good name?"
"It's not a good name, what does Zhu Gongzi think of the three words 'Sun Moon Fang'?"
"'Sun and Moon Fang', the sun and the moon are bright, not bad. Much better than the original name. ”
While praising in his mouth, he looked at Xiao Yiran meaningfully.
"Miss Ran'er, is this Mingzhi?"
"Childe is really a smart person, Ran'er does mean that."
"Very good, very good."
Zhu Zixiu said two "very good" in a row, paused for a while, and then Mao recommended himself:
"If Miss Ran'er doesn't dislike it, would it be nice for the student to write it for Miss?"
"It is really Xiao Yiran's honor to have the honor to invite Zhu Gongzi to write a plaque."
"Haha, Miss Ran'er is polite. In this way, the student will be ugly. ”
Let's talk, pick up the brush that has been placed for a long time, dip it in the inkstone, look at the empty plaque in front of me for a while, and wave the pen. When Xiao Yiran came over to take a look, he saw the three powerful characters of "Sun and Moon Fang", which were already impressive. Immediately, I sincerely admired:
"Childe is really a good handwriting, although I have usually seen Childe's Mobao, there is always no atmosphere from the three words in front of him, strong and powerful. In the future, I am afraid that the sun and moon boat will be touched by the light of the son. ”
"Miss Ran'er praised it falsely, and Miss's words are also the best in the boudoir."
"How dare you."
Next, everyone came to the entrance of the painting boat, watched the subordinates rehang the plaque, and then returned to the room to sit down and drink tea. At this time, a bright moon has already hung high in the sky, and the moonlight shines through the window of the painting boat, shining in the room.
Zhu Zixiu looked at the scenery outside and said:
"Now that the moon is in the sky, the autumn breeze is blowing, and the river is rippling, why don't Miss Ran'er show her talents and write a poem?"
"The little girl is only a shallow learner, where can she afford the words 'only learning in the chest'? Last night, because I had nothing to do, I wrote three sentences, but I couldn't write a satisfactory fourth sentence. ”
"Oh? Would it be nice to read it to students for listening? ”
Xiao Yiran motioned to Musk Yue on the side to hand the three lines of the poem to Zhu Zixiu. Zhu Zixiu received it in his hand and looked down:
The bright moon is in the middle of the autumn, and the Qinhuai waves are quiet and quiet. Who's My Fair Girl across the boat,......
Zhu Zixiu recited it softly twice, and then said:
"The sleeves flutter to clear the sorrow."
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Xiao Yiran's evaluation, he laughed at himself:
"Poetry, non-students are good at, so Miss Ran'er laughs."
"Childe took it well, Ran'er thought about it for half the night last night, and she didn't expect such a good sentence."
In fact, Xiao Yiran knows that he is not good at reciting poems, and the first three sentences are already tasteless, how can he lead to good sentences?
