Chapter 223: The Wind Flowers and the Moon (II)

If the teaching workshop wants to promote the new girl, the appropriate capital still needs to be paid.

In these years, there are no cameras and cameras, and if you want to publicize it to the outside world, you have to take into account "elegance", which is nothing more than letting the merry genius write poems and paintings, and the woman's value will immediately go up a notch.

is like Liu Sanchang of the Song Dynasty, the reason why he can linger for decades without falling is entirely because of his fame, and all the girls want to improve their worth by him.

At that time, it will not be a gentleman raising an artist, but an artist raising a gentleman.

Su Tong waved his hand: "I don't think Yu Niang has the intention of letting us paint a portrait, just letting us meet this girl and pass on her reputation, we are not even a talent now, and we are not a romantic talent......

Zheng Gongzi smiled: "That's not necessarily, our Shen Gongzi is young and is called a prodigy, and even Yu Niang seems to favor him." In addition, Shen Gongzi's poems are well written, even if he doesn't paint a portrait, he can write a poem, or he can make a good story. ”

Originally, they came here to have fun, and these people didn't have any scruples about talking.

But in the end, there is a difference between the teaching workshop and the ordinary Qinlou Chu Pavilion, many of the women here are noble-born, coupled with the gimmick of "selling art without selling body", if there is a good story of a talented and beautiful woman, it will make the guests yearn for more and more, even if they know that they just come to see the performance and will not have further contact with the girl, the guests are also willing to give the silver.

After a while, the door reopened, but two maidservants with harps in their arms came in first.

Then, a woman with a low chin and low eyebrows entered, about sixteen or seventeen years old, she had a fair and classical melon seed face, and the lines were soft, which made people feel friendly at first sight. The eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and the eyes are big and round, extremely bright, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as autumn water. The nose is straight, white as jade, and lined with a small mouth. Shallow dimples, beautiful and refined. Paired with a pale pink skirt, it looks even more charming.

After walking in, Ren Tingting gave a salute. His eyes were full of color.

Shen Xi recognized it at a glance, this was one of the two women he and Shen Yongzhuo saw appear from the window on the second floor of the teaching workshop on the street that day. At that time, the woman was smiling and pointing to the distant scenery, looking lively and cheerful, while the woman next to her was covering her face with a small fan and looking very shy.

"Master Su, meet again." When the woman spoke. looked at Su Tong, a pair of eyes as if he could speak.

Obviously, with this woman's innocent age, she didn't know how to attract men, and what Yu Niang said about Miss Xi'er had been talking about Yunyun before, just to let her show her "admiration" for Su Tong at this moment, and even this gaze was carefully taught by Yu Niang.

This trick worked very well for Su Tong, and he stood up and returned the salute: "Miss Xi'er, Xiaosheng is polite." ”

At this time, Su Tong looked high-spirited. It was a great honor to conquer one of the most popular girls in the workshop.

The girls in this are much cleaner than the girls in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, like Xi'er, they are still "Qingqi people", and they are simply girls waiting to be released.

If you are favored by the girl's family, you can talk to each other in the room and spend a good night together, not only can you be merry and happy, but the most important thing is that you don't have to be responsible and will not become a stumbling block.

Afterwards. Su'er and Xiuyue, who were introduced by Yu Niang, also came in, but there was only one qin. As for the girl from Nanjing mentioned by Yu Niang, she did not show up, and seemed to be waiting for the finale.

Xi'er personally came over to toast the son-in-law who was present. Every time she respects one, she will look at the person, with a natural smile on her face.

When she toasted Su Tong, she looked very shy, as if she really admired Su Tong.

It wasn't until the end that she came over to toast Shen Xi. Shen Xi took the wine glass back: "I'm sorry, I'll drink tea." Xi'er obviously didn't expect that there would be a child inside, just now she was only focusing on the skills that Yu Niang taught her, and she didn't notice the existence of Shen Xi, an alien.

Su Tong saw the doubt and embarrassment on Xi'er's face, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "This is Shen Xi Shen Gongzi, he is still young and only drinks tea. ”

Xi'er smiled at this time: "It turned out to be Shen Gongzi, who has admired his name for a long time." Whether it's really a long-term admiration, no one knows, but this compliment is sincere. She picked up the teapot and offered tea to Shen Xi, who nodded and thanked her.

Shen Xi noticed a little detail, Xi'er seemed respectful when she toasted everyone, but she deliberately avoided getting too close to these people, and only when she toasted him tea, she didn't avoid it. Shen Xi thought: "She probably thinks that I am a child and will not be rude to her." ”

But when Xi'er turned around to pour wine for herself, Shen Xi found that she shrunk her body and deliberately avoided Su Tong...... Where is this admiration for Sutong? It's a pity that Su Tong is completely immersed in the story of the beautiful woman admiring the talented man woven by Yu Niang and Xi'er, and has no time to care about it.

Xi'er raised the wine glass to her eyebrows with both hands, and said respectfully: "Little girl, I salute all the sons." After speaking, she covered her face with her sleeve and tilted her neck, as if she had drunk the wine in one go, but Shen Xi was closest to her, but she found that her sleeves were a little wet, and she obviously poured the wine into her sleeves.

The other sons didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, and drank by themselves.

After drinking, Su Tong smiled and said, "Miss Xi'er, we came here today mainly to listen to the piano music, I wonder if you can play a song for us?" ”

Xi'er lowered her head with some annoyance: "Xi'er's piano skills have always been bad, Yu Niang always scolds me, if you don't dislike it, Xi'er can be ugly, you don't laugh." ”

Su Tong laughed: "How come? ”

Xi'er happily got up and walked to the piano table, sat down, and Su'er and Xiuyue, who were kneeling on the side, stood up, probably to accompany the dance.

Xi'er briefly adjusted the guqin, and then stretched her hands out of her wide sleeves, a pair of slender jade hands, plucked the strings, and made beautiful notes, and a piano song was born invisibly.

Shen Xixin said that this is much better than the three strings played by old artists, but if it is compared to modern instrumental music, it seems lackluster. But by the standard of appreciation of this era, it is already very good music.

Su Tong and the others closed their eyes and listened, as if they were blended into the ethereal sound of the piano, but they also heard that the playing of this qin music was occasionally slightly flawed, just like Xi'er said, she really did not grasp the essence of the qin music.

And the two women who danced next to her, the dance they danced, in Shen Xi's opinion, was even more eye-catching, saying that she was in good shape, but her body was tightly wrapped, and she seemed to be afraid of losing money in midsummer, and she didn't feel ******** swaying at all.

Dancing doesn't even have the posture of twisting the waist and lifting the legs, just a little use of hands and feet, and the whole body is like a few branches and leaves on a bamboo stick, swinging with the wind.

At the end of the song, Su Tong did not applaud immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered, as if intoxicated...... He was encouraging Xi'er in disguise. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Xi'er, smiling and applauding in encouragement, looking quite approving.

"The slave family is ugly, and they all say that they don't play well, and if Yu Niang hears the sound of the piano, they will scold me again."

Su Tong took out a small silver coin from his arms, secretly stuffed it into Xi'er's arms, took the opportunity to touch her waist, and said with a smile: "Miss Xi'er's piano sound is moving, how can Yu Niang be unreasonable?" ”

A piano song that was played quite ordinarily was rewarded with two taels of silver, which made Xi'er very happy. was about to toast everyone again, when the door was reopened, but it was Yu Niang who walked in.

"Yu Niang, the girl from Nanjing I just talked about, I don't know when she came up?" Su Tong asked with a smile.

Yu Niang's face was full of apologies: "A few people, I'm sorry, this ...... A little bit of a surprise. ”

Su Tong asked in surprise, "Could it be that the girl is unwell and can't come out to entertain guests?" ”

Yu Niang sighed: "If she is really unwell, how could the slave family mention it to Su Gongzi before?" But it was the high prince of the government, and he had just sent someone to inform him, saying that he was going to send a friend on a long trip, and he would come in a while, and asked this girl to accompany him by name. But she said that this girl who has not left the boudoir, where has she seen anything in the world...... When meeting guests on both sides, I'm afraid it's not easy to treat. ”

Su Tong frowned and said: "It's Gao Gongzi again, it's okay if he pesters Miss Yunliu, but now that a girl has just arrived, he wants to take the lead again, it's too unreasonable." Yu Niang, there is always a first to come to this matter, and we don't force you, let this girl come over and toast for us, we will meet, and this matter will be over. How is it? ”

Although Su Tong is-for-tat, it seems that he is not afraid of things, but in fact, although Su Tong is an official eunuch, there is no one in his immediate family who has served as an official with good rank, and there is still a gap between him and Gao Chong.

Yu Niang looked very embarrassed, but she knew how to be flexible, and it was expected that although Gao Chong sent someone to inform her, she was worried that the new girl would not be able to get out of another room at night, so she swept his Yaxing, saying that she would come in a while, but it would definitely delay for a while.

"Then Su Gongzi will take care of it, and the slave family will let Miss Bixuan pack up and come over to see you."

Yu Niang retreated, and when she closed the door, Zheng Gongzi next to her reminded: "Master Su, it seems that we should not get too close to the group surnamed Gao...... Last time, they were beaten at the gate of the workshop, and I heard that the culprit has not been found until now. This group of people is not good behave, and they are not easy to mess with. ”

When Xi'er heard this, she said aggrievedly: "A few sons, don't you know, that Gao Gongzi is arrogant and domineering, relying on his grandfather is the prefect, and he often doesn't give any money when he comes to the church, and he also forcibly broke into Sister Yunliu's boudoir, so he is so presumptuous, if it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that he will do more rude things." ”

Su Tong saw that Xi'er was about to cry with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Miss Xi'er, don't cry, this Gaozhi Mansion will step down in two months, and the surname Gao is rampant, isn't he going to follow his grandfather back to his hometown?" ”

Xi'er was even more aggrieved: "What does Su Gongzi mean, we still have to suffer from him for two months?" ”

Su Tong didn't know how to respond.

Shen Xi saw that this Xi'er seemed to have the intention of instigating Su Tong to fight against Gao Chong and others.

Although it is the grandson of the prefect over there, Su Tong and the others are just the children of the gentry, and the two sides are not of the same magnitude, but the young man is strong-blooded, and it is not impossible to be angry at the crown.

But like Xi'er, she not only pretended to admire Su Tong, but also deliberately complained about her grievances, obviously wanting to use Su Tong's macho psychology to help her get ahead.
