Chapter VII Qinglou
I still can't help but want to laugh when I think back to the expression on Tsukimi's face at that time. She widened her eyes and looked inexplicable, obviously not keeping up with the beat of my leaping thoughts, and stammered, "You, what did you say?" ”
I sighed, my words weren't that hard to understand, were they? A person should not always follow his own rhythm, but also occasionally cooperate with the rhythm of others. I shook my head and repeated it earnestly and helplessly: "I want to eat, I'm hungry." ”
Satiated.
The food was very delicate and delicious, and I tried not to act like a demon reincarnated as a demon ghost, in line with the identity of the daughter of the Prime Minister of Azure Snow and the temperament of being knowledgeable and polite, quiet and dignified, but it didn't seem to be very successful. Because the moon beauty sitting across from my table kept smiling at me with a surprised smile, and there was a hint of amusement in her eyes from time to time.
I licked my lips and looked left and right, was there a tissue to wipe my mouth in ancient times? Seeing this, Yue Meiren chuckled and handed me a silk silk in an empathetic manner. I smiled and thanked him, graciously taking it and gently wiping the grease from the corners of my lips.
"I'll give it back to you when I'm clean." I've used silk and played with it in my hand, but I still find it more convenient to use tissues. The silk is snow-white silk, and the silk is embroidered with an unknown flower, and the embroidery is very exquisite.
"You're welcome, it's Yueniang's poor preparation." The moon beauty also followed politely.
"Where is this?" I looked at Yueniang and listened to the information, but I didn't expect her to really answer me.
"Leaning on the Red Mansion." I didn't expect Moon Beauty to really answer.
Leaning on the Red Mansion? Such a name, the most common is ......, and I have a faint premonition in my heart: "Qinglou? ”
"Qinglou." Yue Meiren responded calmly, but her eyes were slightly deeper, and the eyes that looked at me were a little more judgmental, I looked at her eyes calmly, there was no contempt and disdain in my eyes, just a simple question. Discovering this, there was an intriguing relief and appreciation in Yuemeiren's smile.
I think there's a good chance I'll win her friendship. Ancient women, the social status is extremely low, if as a Qinglou woman, it can be said that life is thinner than paper, they live at the bottom of the society, is the plaything of men, men while remembering the Ye You, the selection of songs, the record of the waves, the wind and the happy, while still Liulian Qinglou as a very disgraceful and extremely dirty thing. In the eyes of ordinary women, Qinglou is an unserious existence, and the Qinglou woman is a silver baby slut. This kind of deep-rooted discrimination, which has been accumulated for a long time and has a strong mass base, makes Qinglou women the most sensitive. I know that I have behaved very well, and the real Azure Snow may not be as good as me at this moment, because my calmness is not pretending, I am from the twenty-first century, and I know more or less about the situation of the women in the ancient Qinglou, and I have no discrimination against them, only sympathy. I once saw a comment on the Internet about the woman in the Qinglou -
Life is like falling flowers, death is like flowing water, floating like dust, zero like duckweed, although there is unwilling to resist humiliation, but it can not get rid of the fate of being slaughtered and played. Li Bai said in one sentence: "How long can it be good to do things to others?" Liu Xiyi was even more blunt: "But looking at the ancient singing and dancing places, only the birds are sad at dusk!" No wonder Du Qiuniang wanted to write the sentence "There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches". These red-faced women who have been thrown into the bottom of society, when they are "old in the spring", that is, in the "Lonely Wutong Deep Courtyard", "dreams cry makeup and tears are dry". The destruction of beautiful things for others to see is the most heart-wrenching tragedy.
This month's beauty, with unparalleled appearance, and pregnant with a strong martial arts, where can I find a place to stay? Hiding in the Qinglou, you may have other plans, but you can do whatever you want, and you are not burdened by fame, and you can also be regarded as a strange woman. I think that time and space in my previous life left a name in the "Green History" Xue Tao, Su Xiaoxiao, Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, Li Shishi, Dong Xiaowan and other Qinglou names, what kind of style is that, which one is not light and natural, elegant and graceful, poetry and rhyme, and I don't know ......, and now I look at the moon beauty in front of me, and I sigh that it is no wonder that the white old-timers want to write "Qu Ba has taught good talents, and makeup is jealous of Qiu Niang." The silver grate of the head is broken, and the blood-colored skirt is turned over the wine".
"What does he want me to do?" I asked lightly, Chu Yan "tolew" me into the Qinglou, there is only one possibility, humiliate me to death, but I want to make sure that person, is that person really perverted to this point, "Pick up guests?" ”
Moon Meiren hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and looked at me with a hint of apology in her appreciative gaze. I laughed, what are you sorry for? It's just the corner of doing things for others, I lowered my eyelashes, and thought quickly in my mind, if I have to be detained in the Qinglou, and I don't want to sell my body, what else can I do?
If you don't sell yourself, it seems that you can only sell your art. In ancient times, all the women in Qinglou had to be able to sing, dance, play, play, play, calligraphy and painting, but I sighed in my heart, how could I have any outstanding talent? In my previous life, my skills for making a living were graphic design, and I worked with computers all the time, although I did art-related work, but it was very different from the calligraphy and painting of "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting". No matter how well I play with my computer, I still don't know anything here. Chess? Only play backgammon. Violin? I've been playing guitars since I was fifteen, but are there guitars here?
As for singing, dancing, playing and ......singing, I frowned, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, recalling the crossing text I had read in Jinjiang before, how could those comrades who had traveled through the past be so distressed as me? Whether it is in the deep palace or in the folk of the Qinglou, you can have fun everywhere. I won't be able to use so many modern songs, in vain I held the microphone every time I went to KTV in my previous life, which really broke the name of "Maiba". I am secretly ashamed, but the broad masses of the people are still wise, and I am really ashamed of modern people.
"Can I just sell my art and not my body?" With confidence, only when talking about conditions can there be bargaining chips.
"Miss Wei, you have lived in the boudoir for a long time, and you don't know that our Yihong Mansion is the No. 1 Qinglou in the capital." Yue Meiren seems to be also a master of negotiations, "The girls we rely on in the Red Mansion are all talented." The implication is that the so-called talents of those ladies may not be as good as the girls here.
"I promise it's not the same as theirs?" I saw that she was not a big man, and I knew that in order to convince her, I had to show convincing evidence, "Can you listen to me when I sing a song?" ”
The moon beauty raised her eyebrows, and her chin agreed.
After thinking about it for a while, I picked Cai Qin's "Falling Flowers and Flowing Water", which is quite in line with the bleak state of mind of the Qinglou woman.
"I am like a falling flower with flowing water,
With the flowing water drifting to the sea of people,
The sea of people is vast and I don't know where I am,
I always feel that there is a lack of love.
I am like a falling flower with flowing water,
With the flowing water drifting to the sea of people,
The vast sea of people looking for a love,
I always feel that sooner or later I have to guess.
I've been wandering for a long time,
I wander at night,
Wandering in the vast sea of people,
I've been through all the weather,
I've been tormented by the cold,
Where is the beloved?
I am like a falling flower with flowing water,
With the flowing water drifting to the sea of people,
The sea of people is vast and I don't know where I am,
I always feel that there is a lack of love. ”
I watched Tsukimi's reaction as I sang, and sure enough, as I expected, her eyes flashed with a look of surprise and surprise. I have more and more confidence in my heart, and I sang this song tactfully, but fortunately, this blue snow's voice did not disappoint my hard performance, my voice in my previous life was already good, which time did I sing in KTV not win a full house? I didn't expect the timbre of Azure Snow to be a little more beautiful than in my previous life.
"How?" I tested Tsukimi's reaction, but I knew in my heart that I had shocked her. If she is still not convinced, I am going to give her another song, and by the way, I will take out the skills of working as a trade union officer in a telecommunications company for three years in my previous life, and choreograph a few sets of modern dances for her that she has never seen before, and completely shake her up.
"It's so exciting." Yue Meiren really admired, "This lyrics and music were written by Miss Wei?" ”
"Laughing!" I want to save my life, and I don't care about the moral question of plagiarism or not.
"Everyone in the world says that Miss Wei is knowledgeable and polite, quiet and elegant, but I didn't expect that the girl is still a talented girl." The moon beauty's eyes lit up as if she had discovered a new world.
I hurriedly stopped her ass, and if I continued to shoot like this, I, a person with a ghost in my heart, would be ashamed to find a crack in the ground: "Then, what I just said about selling my art is not selling my body......"
"Nope." I didn't expect the moon beauty to turn her face faster than turning a book, and she was full of praise just now, but now she rejects me in one bite.
"Huh?" I didn't expect her to refuse at all, and I was dumbfounded.
