Chapter 5: Charm and Love
The teaching lady of the charm class was a beautiful woman dressed in purple, with an extremely simple silver flute inserted in her hair bun. He is about thirty years old, and his eyebrows are full of grace.
Mei Niangzi looked at the five beauties in front of her, examined them carefully, and then spoke: "Several girls are all beauties in a million, although they have not been carefully polished, they can all see one or two peerless states. It's just that in the future, who among you can really become the most attractive person depends on how well you study in my class. ”
Mei Niangzi's tone is lazy, but it makes people feel very comfortable listening to her, and she especially wants to hear her say a few more words.
"I'm guessing you're all curious about what we're going to learn in this lesson, right?" Mei Niangzi smiled slightly and took out a jar from the table behind her.
The jar was jet black, delicate and small, and a wisp of flowers was painted on the jar, which looked a little enchanting and evil.
"Lady, what is this?" Zheng Dan looked at the jar and asked curiously.
"Love Gu." The charming lady spat out two words.
"Love Gu?" The crowd exclaimed in amazement, and then began to discuss the object from ear to ear.
Meng Qiyu asked: "Su Ri has only heard that there is a small country in the southwest, and all the subjects in the country can raise Gu. But I only learned today that there is still a love Gu technique. Lady, do we still need to learn the art of Gu cultivation? ”
"Yes. But you don't need to learn too much, you just need to raise this Gu worm. ”
The charming lady holds the jar in one hand and gently caresses it with the other, as if there is something beloved hidden inside.
"The one in my hand is the love Gu that I have raised for fifteen years, and its name is Xiaoyue."
As she spoke, Mei Niangzi gently knocked on the jar three times with her nails, and then opened the jar again, and everyone raised their necks to look. I saw something looming in the jar, but it was dark but I couldn't see it clearly.
"Ahh There's a bug in there! Meng Qiyu exclaimed.
Mei Niangzi pursed her lips, closed the jar again, and said, "But be quiet, don't scare Xiaoyue." ”
Meng Qiyu hurriedly apologized.
Only then did the charming lady officially introduce the love Gu to everyone: "After a while, I will give each of you a larva, if this Gu worm can be raised well, it can always survive in the world, helping you to charm the Gu people." If it is not well raised, it will be ruthless and despairing, and at worst, it will backfire on its master. Would you like to take this course? ”
Before everyone had time to think, the charming lady continued: "But it doesn't matter whether you want it or not. Since you have embarked on this path, what you are facing is already despair, and you can't help yourself. ”
As she spoke, Mei Niangzi carefully took out a plate from behind the table, on which were the same jars, and looked closely, but found that there were no patterns on them. The charm lady gave each of them a jar and a small dagger in order.
"These Gu worms are all larvae, and they have been fed with their mother's blood all the time, and they have not yet recognized their master. Now, you put three drops of your own blood in the jar. ”
Mu Li took the dagger first and made a cut on his left hand, blood flowing down his fingertips into the jar. Mu Li couldn't help but feel a little new as he watched the fingernail-sized Gu worm in the jar suck his own essence blood, gradually turning from a small black worm to a blood-red worm.
Xi Shi gritted his teeth and was about to cut a knife from his palm, but was stopped by Zheng Dan.
"Shi'er, don't start there, otherwise it will hurt to sweat in the future. Just scrape it from here. As he spoke, Zheng Dan demonstrated it with his own hands.
Xi Shi bit his lower lip and followed Zheng Dan to feed the Gu worms.
Mu Li saw that Meng Qiyu and Su Yi didn't make a move, so he reached out and directly took their hands and cut them to feed Gu.
The two looked at Mu Li aggrieved and complaining, but Mu Li was dumbfounded.
Seeing that they had all let the Gu worms recognize the master, the charming lady solemnly said to them: "All the girls must pay attention to taking care of and protect their Gu worms, and every night in the future, you must feed the Gu worms with three drops of blood when you come to class in the future." And you must pay attention to the fact that from now on, your Gu worm can only drink your own blood, if you drink other people's blood, the Gu worm will die, and the Gu master will also be counterattacked. Of course, the person who feeds the blood will suffer the same backlash as the Gu Master. ”
The crowd listened with solemn expressions. Now it seems that the lives of Gu worms are more important than their own.
Mei Niangzi couldn't help but feel funny when she saw their reactions, so she was relieved: "You don't have to feel worried, isn't my Xiaoyue well-raised?" Oh! By the way, you can now give your Gu worm a name, and you can also draw your favorite patterns on the jar to prevent you from taking it wrong. ”
When everyone heard this, they became interested again, and they all began to name their Gu worms and draw patterns on the jars.
Xi Shi looked at the little insect in the jar that had changed from black to red, and fell into deep thought, should it be called "little black" or "little red"?
Zheng Dan leaned over and asked her what name she wanted to give the insect, Xi Shi told Zheng Dan her thoughts, pondered for a while, and thought of a question: "Sister Zheng Dan, you say, are Gu worms male and female?" ”
Zheng Dan listened, was speechless for a moment, and still helped her ask the charm lady, who explained that the one with the tail is male, and the one without the tail is the female.
Therefore, Xi Shi seriously told Zheng Dan that her Gu worm should be called "Xiaohong", and then seriously began to draw on her jar.
Zheng Dan was speechless and choked for a moment, and decided to let his Gu worm be called "Xiao Hei".
The other three girls discussed for a while, and felt that the Gu worm was their second life, so they simply named the Gu worm "Xiao Su", "Xiao Meng" and "Xiao Mu".
Xi Shi painted the jar very quickly, and after finishing the painting, he reviewed it with satisfaction.
The jar was painted with a very ordinary small flower, a circle representing the stamen, and next to the stamen, five round petals, plus a slightly curved stem. A flower is done.
Zheng Dan drew a sword, Mu Li drew a bamboo, Su Yi drew a bird, and Meng Qiyu drew a worm.
In this way, all the beauties will prepare their own Gu.
After the charming lady told them to put away their Gu again, she asked everyone to put away the Gu worms. Everyone thought that they were done with the practice, so they all got up to leave, and the charming lady hurriedly shouted.
"Why are you in such a hurry? We haven't started our formal practice yet. ”
Seeing them sit down, Mei Niangzi smiled again and said, "Our lesson, love Gu is only supplemented, and more importantly, each of you must learn the art of charming." ”
"The so-called flattery, in layman's terms, is a means of seducing others. To put it nicely, it is to increase its own charm. If she practices kitsch well, even if she looks ugly, she will be intoxicated, and those who don't know kitsch. No matter how beautiful it is, it will become a thing of the past. ”
The charming lady talked endlessly about what to practice in this lesson, what "eyes", "posture", "skills" and so on, and listened to Xi Shi drowsy.
When Zheng Dan woke her up, she saw several guards outside wearing armor and swords hanging from their waists walking in and lining up. The guards were all handsome and serious, as if they were "not close to the living". As soon as they entered, they stared straight ahead and did not waver.
Seeing that Xi Shi was still stunned, Zheng Dan quietly explained a few words to her, and she knew that the charming lady wanted to let them use the content of this class to test against the palace guards to see how the practice effect.
The Lady called them to their feet and told them to make the guards look at her in her own way, so that they could pass through, and get the guard, making him her own personal bodyguard.
When several girls heard this, they thought it was interesting, and they watched the five guards from head to toe. also whispered to each other which one they wanted to choose.
Meng Qiyu took the lead and used the content taught in the charm girl class against one of the masculine-looking men. First, he looked at the man with silky eyes, but the man was unmoved, and Meng Qiyu felt frustrated, so he lowered his eyebrows in frustration, pouting and wanting to give up. The moment he turned around to leave, the man quietly glanced at Meng Zhiyu. In this way, the man followed Meng Zhiyu.
Su Yi picked a man with a cold face, and as soon as he passed, he pinched the man's jaw with his hand and forced him to look at him. Su Yi was already beautiful, although the man was forced to look at her, he didn't look away after all.
When it was Zheng Dan's turn, she made a difficulty. But thinking that the purpose was just to choose a guard, his eyes flashed and he thought of a good idea.
"This batch can't be used if you look at force, how can you protect us, change a batch!"
As soon as Zheng Dan's words fell, he saw a man among the guards turn his head directly to her and glared at her, Zheng Dan laughed, pointed at him and said, "Na, you look at me, you have to protect me in the future." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he had been deceived, his face turned red, and he lowered his head in a panic.
When it was Mu Li's turn, she didn't pick it directly, but walked to the remaining two and fixed it for a while. A moment later, he suddenly slashed at the two. One of them immediately dodged, and quickly drew a knife with one hand and stared at Mu Li. The other man was still staring ahead, as if he were oblivious. Therefore, Mu Li chose the responsive guard as his bodyguard.
Only Shih Tzu and the last guard remained. Xi Shi didn't listen carefully, and the remaining guards didn't take their eyes off as soon as they entered the door, and the four sisters had already used the method all over the time, even if she followed the cat and the tiger, others might not be fooled. So she had no choice but to step forward.
Xi Shi was already young and petite, and he stood in front of the guard and was directly half shorter, and Xi Shi was afraid that he would not see him.
She stood awkwardly across from the guard, and in order not to be so embarrassed, she had to open her mouth to break the embarrassment.
"What's your name?" Shih Tzu asked.
"Yin Thirteen." The man replied.
"So, would you like to be my bodyguard?" Shih Tzu asked again.
Yin 13 looked down at her and muttered: "Yes." ”
……
Xi Shi is confused, that's it? Wouldn't it be because of his beauty that he directly conquered him? Xi Shi was disgusted by his own thoughts, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.
After some effort, several people finally chose their own guards.
After the charm class, Mrs. Gao came. Only then did everyone remember that before class, Mrs. Gao told them that the first place could satisfy a reasonable wish, and the last place would be punished.
Today's results are ranked down, Mu Li is first, and Zheng Dan is last. Mu Li hurriedly told Mrs. Gao that his wish was to hope that Zheng Dan would not be punished. Mrs. Gao gently knocked Mu Li's head and said that she was a fool.
Zheng Dan thanked Mu Li and told Gao Niangzi that he was willing to accept the punishment. Gao Niangzi saw that the two of them were kind and well-behaved, so she only punished Zheng Dan for copying the poetry he learned today ten times. Mu Li pondered for a while and said to Mrs. Gao that he hoped to allow them to have some small pets.
Xi Shi's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked at Gao Niangzi with expectant eyes.
Mrs. Gao readily agreed, but only allowed Mu Li to raise it alone. Others must rely on their own strength to get the first.
Shih Tzu wilted and sighed.
The day's practice was finally over, and all the Yue women held their love Gu and returned to the garden with the guards.
Zheng Dan saw Xi Shi's dejected head, and couldn't help but tease her: "Shi'er, I don't know, I still think that you are the one who was punished today." Why are you so unhappy? ”
Xi Shi said sadly: "Sister Zheng Dan, I really want to raise a little pet." ”
Zheng Dan smiled and touched her head, and before she could answer, she heard Xi Shi's guard Yin 13 ask softly behind her, "What pet does the girl like?" ”
Xi Shi was stunned for a moment, stopped and glanced back at him, confirming that he was asking seriously, before turning around and continuing to walk, "Like some furry." ”
After Yin 13 said "um", he stopped making a sound.
Zheng Dan looked at this scene, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey, look at the guards of other people's homes." ”
The guards behind Zheng Dan were a little bit, and directly replied to Zheng Dan: "Then you go and choose someone else, why choose me!" ”
Zheng Dan deliberately angered him: "Who made you so stupid, you were fooled, I still want to choose a smart one!" ”
The guard's teeth itched, and the sword in his hand trembled.
Xi Shi was so amused by the two of them that she couldn't stop laughing, and was about to make a joke, but Yin Shisan coughed lightly and interrupted her.
"Ah Jiu, don't be rude." Yin Thirteen Dao.
After the guard named Ah Jiu "snorted", he no longer bothered with Zheng Dan.
After this trouble, Xi Shi's mood is much better. At night, he accompanied Zheng Dan to write ten pages of calligraphy before he was willing to sleep.
