Chapter 20 There is a phoenix
In this auction alone, the total turnover of the six academies reached 358,561 taels, including 45,610 taels of Chinese Zijian, 100,010 taels of Xingzhi Academy, 18,250 taels of Shidong Academy, 29,300 taels of Youlu Academy, 82,600 taels of Hengyang Academy, and 82,800 taels of the first academy, as well as a total of 250,000 taels of donations from the five academies, which reached 608,561 taels, which is equivalent to more than the disaster relief funds allocated by the Ministry of Household to the two provinces.
At this time, Zhang Zhiji and several people waited for Zhu Ying'an to finish handing over the lot, looking at Zhu Ying'an's somewhat obese body and holding a few things, walking slowly, and when they arrived, Zhu Ying'an's two poems were stuffed into Zhang Zhiji's arms, "Na, 60,000 taels, you can keep it." Although he won the gamble, anyone who spent more than 60,000 taels of silver to shoot two pieces of paper was uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhiji looked at Zhu Ying'an's angry appearance and said with a smile, "Brother Yuan Ting spent so much silver to shoot these two works, the 10,000 taels will be regarded as my support for Brother Yuan Ting, you must not underestimate these two poems, for the time being, I will keep them first, he will wait for me to frame these two works in the future, and then you will see if it is worth it today, and I will return it to you at that time." ”
Zhu Ying'an only thought that Zhang Zhiji was comforting him, and he didn't take his words to heart, just dragged a few people, "I don't care, brother today, I have a lot of blood, it's all entrusted by Ziyu, and I'm counting on you in the Bada Hutong tonight." I have only a few taels of silver left on me. ”
"Phew, if you don't learn well, you don't think you can learn from them, come home with me." Xu Ming'er, who was not far away, heard a conversation between several people and spat.
Xu Erjue glanced at Zhu Ying'an and Zhang Zhiji innocently, and had to be dragged away by Xu Ming'er.
A few people went to the Bada Hutong, but they were all just drinking flower wine, unlike Zhu Ying'an, who was for the purpose of sleeping, and finally Zhang Zhiji, Luo Yangxing, and Qin Jue were dragged by Zhu Ying'an to the Bada Hutong.
Ying Yingyan Yanyan at the door of Feng Laiyi, a few sisters ushered in the send-off, Zhu Ying'an took out the only scattered silver left on his body and paid for the car, and just got out of the car, a few people were grabbed by the arms of several sisters and said, "A few masters have not been here for a long time, there are a few new girls singing in the building today, a few masters come in and listen." ”
"Don't you know each other when you only came last night?" Zhu Ying'an touched the buttocks of the sister next to him and said.
"Oops, it's my clumsiness." The old girl, who was over forty years old, said.
Behind Zhang Zhiji, the three of them were covered in sweat, and they were in their forties, ugly and fat, and Zhu Ying'an was also able to do it.
When they entered the building, it was very noisy, and Zhang Zhiji and a few people pulled Zhu Ying'an and wanted to go upstairs to find a clean private room and find a girl to drink some wine and listen to a little song.
Zhu Ying'an said with a look of disdain, "I haven't seen it, today is the day when Fenglaiyi's top brand Furong takes the stage, if we are in the private room on the second floor and want to be favored by Bo Furong, it will be a chance." ”
Why is that? The girl in the Qinglou is interested in nothing more than silver, is the consumption in this hall higher than that upstairs? The youngest Qin Jue asked suspiciously.
"This is naturally the case in other places, only this Feng Laiyi's Furong is a little different, she has been popular all over the capital since she was listed, and she has never been disdainful of the young master upstairs, only the people in this hall can occasionally chat with her." Then Zhu Ying'an whispered a little mysteriously, "And she is still a clean person." ”
"Brother Zhu knows so well, could it be that he is also a little interested in this hibiscus?" Luo Yangxing asked.
"Whoever comes here isn't interested in Fleur? But brother, I've already taken the lead, and I'm the only one who has been the guest of Fleur's entry so far. After speaking, Zhu Ying'an raised his head proudly.
"Since you are a guest of the scene, why do you still say that she is a clean person?" Qin Jue asked puzzled.
"I have heard about this, I heard that Brother Yuan Ting used a box of seaweed mud to make the beauty smile, and was invited to enter for a continuation, Miss Furong at first wanted to play a song for Brother Yuan Ting to thank her, but before the sound of the piano started, she was almost knocked down by Brother Yuan Ting, and then she was driven out. And it is said that when Furong was listed for the first time, Brother Yuan Ting and that Fang Shihong were fighting for silver upstairs, but they didn't even look upstairs. Zhang Zhiji said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Zhiji's words, Zhu Ying'an said with some doubts, "Ziyu, I heard your cousin say that you admire my ability to go around the building very much, why does it seem that today is a little different from what I heard before?" ”
"Everywhere, rumors, just rumors." Zhang Zhiji did not debunk it, but only denied Zhu Ying'an's words.
Zhu Ying'an didn't think much about it, and then explained to a few people, "This hibiscus is a real double of color and art, I heard that she used to be the daughter of a big family surnamed Shui in Huzhou, and in the early years, Feng Laiyi's old bustard was still in Jiangnan when he was still in the south of the Yangtze River, and then the Shui family suffered, and there was only such a daughter left, who was brought to the capital by the bustard, and taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. But even if it was listed, it was just to solicit some business for Feng Laiyi, and no one ever forced her to make a living from skin and flesh. So those who want to buy a spring supper with silver are also broken, because of this, those who want to please the hibiscus sons and buddies do everything possible to inquire about the preferences of the hibiscus, it just so happened that once Fang Shihong met the hibiscus in Yunlong Temple, the hibiscus fell in love with a phalaenopsis orchid when she was enjoying the flowers in the orchid garden, Fang Shihong wanted to buy the phalaenopsis to please the hibiscus, it just so happened that the owner of the orchid was the talented daughter of the Xu family, I heard that there was such a phalaenopsis in the world, and finally the price was increased to 300,000 taels Miss Xu refused to sell, also humiliated Fang Shihong and said that his money was dirty, so there was the one in today's auction. ”
"Then why is this Fleur so unkind to the people upstairs?"
"I heard that Furong once said, 'But when a woman enters this door, there is no high or low, singing eighteen ~ touch is also elegant, singing Yulin bell is also vulgar, go upstairs is to use silver to divide these sisters into three, six, nine and so on, but it is not as refreshing as the people in the hall.' ”
"Listening to Brother Yuan Ting's words, this hibiscus is quite interesting, and I am a little more interested in her." Zhang Zhiji touched his chin and said.
"What? Ziyu is not afraid of your father? Do you want to be a peony flower ghost? Zhu Ying'an teased.
Everyone has heard of Zhang Zhiji's tutor for a long time, and after listening to Zhu Ying'an's ridicule, several people laughed, only Zhang Zhiji said sneeringly, "Where is Brother Yuan Ting, just communicate a little, not deep, not deep, haha......"
As they spoke, a few people found a place to sit down in the hall, and ordered some wine and food, Zhang Zhiji and Zhu Ying'an told Qin Jue and Luo Yangxing about today's Xingzhi Academy, and they heard that the two applauded and sighed from time to time, and sighed that such an interesting thing was missed.
After a while, the originally noisy sound suddenly broke out, and several people looked up and saw that it was Fleur on stage.
I saw a bewitching figure on the stage, his face was half-covered and half-hidden, a charming turn, the water sleeves were thrown obliquely, the dancing shadows were swaying, and the four seats were shocked, and finally revealed the face of the world, everyone saw it, even if Zhu Ying'an had seen it many times and knew that Hibiscus was beautiful, but he had never seen her so enchanting and charming.
Plum blossom makeup, white neon clothes, dark clouds and sideburns, hibiscus like a face and willows like eyebrows.
"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, looking at the city and the country. This life is not in vain, when the float is white. Zhang Zhiji was a little excited to change the wine glass to a large one, filled it with wine, and drank it dry in one gulp, quite a bit arrogant.
Several people looked at Zhang Zhiji's appearance and laughed repeatedly.
At the end of the dance, everyone applauded, and then a voice sounded, "Miss Furong is a good dancer." ”
Although this voice is not small, it is covered by the voices of everyone, Zhu Ying'an and the others are not far away, but they can hear it clearly, looking back, it turns out to be Fang Shihong, the son of Fang Shoufu, it seems that although he suffered a loss in Xingzhi Academy, he still does not forget that today is the day when Furong takes the stage.
Seeing that Furong didn't hear it on the stage, Fang Shihong raised his voice and said it again, but there was still no response, and the benefactors in the hall applauded a lot, more loudly than him.
I saw Fang Shihong pick up a wine jug on the table and throw it to the ground, the wine jug shattered in response, and then everyone stopped making noise and looked at Fang Shihong, "Miss Furong is good at dancing." Fang Shihong ignored everyone's puzzled gazes and said, "But everyone has been looking forward to the girl for so long, but I'm afraid it's a little stingy to dance." ”
Many people were a little angry when they saw Fang Shihong being so rude, but after all, this person was for the benefit of everyone and put up with it, and everyone hoped that Furong would perform more. I only heard Fang Shihong continue, "I occasionally got a famous piano today, called 'Jiaowei', why don't you ask Miss Furong to use this piano to play another song for everyone?" Famous piano with beauty, if the hibiscus girl thinks it is good, she will give this piano to the girl. After speaking, Fang Shihong took out the "Jiaowei" wrapped in silk cloth.
Fang Shihong didn't get the phalaenopsis, everyone who wants to come to the piano loves the qin, if he can use this guqin to please Furong and become her guest of the scene, it would be the best.
"Thank you Fang Gongzi for your kindness, Fang Gongzi's words Furong should not have refused, but 'Jiaowei' is a lyre, forgive Furong for being shallow and not very proficient in the lyre, it is better to let Furong play a song for everyone with her own piano." Fang Shihong has held the hibiscus many times, so Furong is no stranger to him, although he refused to send him the piano, but he still agreed to play another song, otherwise he would offend the guests of this Fenglaiyi.
Fang Shihong touched a nail that was not big or small, he only thought about how to give gifts, but he forgot that Daming's piano was fifteen strings, and "Jiaowei" only had seven strings, which made him regret it, and his calculations were in vain.
After a while, the piano was set up on the stage, and Hibiscus plucked the strings lightly, and a song of Liu Yong's "Butterfly Love Flower" sang with the sound of the piano.
