Chapter 20: Emperor Wu of Wei's Soul Possession
The four of them hugged the girl in the private room, drank wine and ate food, talked and laughed and feasted, only Chen Shiqi said less today, and the three of them knew in their hearts, and they couldn't say that this matter would naturally be fine after a while.
After a while, the whole gong sounded in the building, everyone quieted down, only to see that the lights on the pavilion were hanging in the middle of the second floor, and the pavilion was covered with light gauze, and everyone saw only one person playing the piano in the middle, Xu Ang couldn't hear any tune, but it was very pleasant, and the whole Baihualou was quiet. It must be the smile who claims to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The sound of the piano remembered the time of the two pillars of incense, and it ended suddenly, and everyone was immersed in it. Immediately thunderous applause,
Then a turtle man came out, signaling everyone to be quiet, and when the onlookers quieted down, they didn't speak, and retreated, and then there was music in the living room, which turned out to be Baihualou's own music team.
I saw that the people in the atrium on the second floor withdrew the piano and danced to the music. Looking through the light veil, I can only see a figure, only to see the dancing person dancing slowly, long sleeves fluttering, for a while jumping on the table where the piano is playing, the body is graceful, light, a fairy in the appearance of a person, the first floor, the second floor of the people are stunned.
Rao is Xu Ang, who has seen many performances on TV, and this scene seems to be amazing. Thinking that this Baihualou really has the means, first don't say anything, come directly to this set, it's a brother and a dance, and it also deceives people to not see their faces clearly, giving people a space to think about it, looking at everyone around them is stunned, looking like a pig brother, Xu Ang thought that there must be a good price when bidding later.
After a while, the music gradually faded, and the dancing figure began to slow down, until the music died down, and the smiling girl stopped dancing and sat motionless on the stage.
At this time, I saw an old bustard, walked forward, everyone saw it, and knew that this was going to start bidding, and the one with the highest price got it, and suddenly there was a lot of excitement and coaxing.
I saw the old bustard standing in front, and after everyone cheered for a while, the girl next to him struck the gong, and then quieted down, and said in a pinched voice
"Welcome to my Baihua Building! Everyone knows that my daughter is a Qing person who sells her art but not her body, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance, and everyone has seen it. Without further ado, let's start bidding! “
There was a commotion in the audience, and everyone naturally saw it in their eyes, which sons and brothers, when the rich businessmen heard it, they were all gearing up, thinking that they would come out on top today, but they had a lot of face.
"But the rules of our bidding today have changed." The old bustard looked at the people on the field and quieted down, and continued
"In the past, we were the ones who paid the highest price! And the people who came today are all talented people from all walks of life, and the method of the one with the highest price will inevitably reduce the identity of the young masters. So our rule today is that the smiling girl will ask the question, and the participants will each receive two hundred taels of silver, and then we will choose the person with the best writing to become the final winner! After the old bustard finished speaking, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Liu Dong and Xu Wenchong, all of this was naturally seen by Xu Ang, and he said in his heart, what is the inside story of this?
There was a whole commotion in the audience, everyone was dissatisfied, two hundred taels of silver is not much for these sons, but it is also a lot, and it is barely enough to visit this Baihualou for more than ten times. The bidding of these Qingqi people who are a little beautiful on weekdays is only one or two thousand taels of silver, even if this smile is quite famous, three or four thousand taels may be about the same, unless there are two people who just raise the bar, then it is uncertain.
Today, this Baihualou is overcrowded, there are no less than 200 people, even if half of the people participate, they have to collect 20,000 taels of silver, and in the end only one is spent, this Baihualou is inevitably too greedy. Presumably, there will not be many people involved. The total number of twenty or thirty people participated, and the price was about the same as usual. Chen Shiqi thought so.
The old bustard saw that everyone was excited, and then said
"Young masters, do you think I'm a bully in Baihualou? My Baihualou is famous for its integrity, the reason for this is because the person who won the first place today can not only spend the Spring Festival with the smiling girl, if he can see the smile, he can marry the smile home, and the Baihualou will never stop it! For two hundred taels of silver, you can take the beauty home! These two hundred taels of silver are not unjust?"
As soon as he finished saying this, the audience was in an uproar! In this way, everyone is happy in their hearts, in the past, they spent hundreds of taels of silver, but they spent one night together, and now they only spend two hundred taels of silver, and it is possible to marry this famous beauty back home as a concubine, which must be a very cost-effective thing! For a while, the applause was endless.
The old bustard saw that the people present were very emotional, and he suddenly had a smile in his heart. Said with a smile
"Then we will start signing up now, and anyone who participates can come here to pay the silver and receive the number plate!" After speaking, the bustard pointed to the table that had already been set up downstairs on the first floor.
People on the first floor are flocking to the registration table, and the people in the private room on the second floor are regulars or nobles who don't have to go downstairs to register.
Xu Ang thought it was interesting, this Baihualou had a thought, in this way, there must be more than 100 people who participated, and the silver earned was more than 20,000 taels, even if someone married this smile, it was also earned, looking at the old bustard who was talking, his eyes glanced at Liu Dong and Xu Wenchong intentionally or unintentionally from time to time, and thought, could this be a shady scene?
Chen Shiqi was excited when he heard this, and whispered to the three of them
"That's all right! I'm also afraid that the bidding will offend these two masters, and now we will also participate, if we are lucky to win this first prize, but no one will say anything, and today I will give out the silver of the four of us! ”
He had coveted this smile for a long time, and he was about to give up just now, but now he suddenly has another chance, and he can marry this smile home, and he is very happy to lose and gain again and again. Although eight hundred taels of silver is a lot, when I am happy, I don't feel distressed when I come out. Xu Angxin said, looking at the old bustard's eyes, the final color has to fall on those two, and he was quite happy to see Chen Shiqi, and it was not easy to break it.
On the side, Fang Renmin peeked behind him, and saw the bustard who received them at the door leaning against the pillar there, holding a handkerchief, standing on one foot, and the other jade foot was hanging in the air, looking at him with spring in the corner of his eyes, Fang Renmin felt itching in his heart and said
"I won't participate in this game, you guys play first, and I'll see you at the old place later!" As he spoke, they went to the back, and when they saw him walking away with the bustard in his arms, they laughed. This is like this every time I come over, the young lady doesn't like it, I like the big sister.
When the turtle man came over, Chen Shiqi handed over six silver tickets, which was regarded as registering the three of them. After receiving the number plate, he chatted again, and after living for a while, it seemed that the people who had signed up had finished registering, and the old bustard stood on the stage again and said
"Now that all the sons have signed up, let's ask the question by our smiling girl!"
In the pavilion covered by the second floor, a beautiful voice came and said
"Smile the day before yesterday occasionally made a painting, think about it but don't know how to inscribe, here today, just bother you to write a poem, if it is well written, then this son wins."
As soon as the words fell, a girl came over with a painting and walked to the first floor, and at this time someone came to each private room, holding the same painting, which must be a copy of that painting.
"The time for everyone to look at this painting is a tea time, and then they write a poem in the time of a stick of incense, and hand it in with the number plate. Our jury will select the best as the winner! Let's get started! After the bustard finished speaking, the individual holding the scroll unfolded the painting.
Dozens of people on the first floor watched a painting, and each room on the second floor had a copy, which was different. Everyone in the contestants looked at it together, the painting was ordinary, it was a picture of a river wave fishing, a person boating on the river fishing, opposite the green mountain, behind the stone is a stone, and there are trees on the stone. I can see enough tea time.
Xu Ang stepped forward to take a closer look, but there was a little strange in his heart, this painting looks like the ink has not been dry for a long time, presumably it is not just copying, after the tea, a gong sounded, and the picture scroll was put away! Someone had already prepared pen and paper, and everyone began to write.
"Young master, these talented people are all for this smiling girl, it's really enviable!" The little girl next to Leshui said
Le Shui was already unhappy in his heart, and scolded, "A Qinglou woman! What girl doesn't girl?! ”
After speaking, he pointed to a talented man holding a fan next to him and said, "What do you see he wrote?" ”
The girl looked and saw the handsome boy writing on the paper
"A fisherman on the river, fishing into the river. The water is beautiful and fat, and the belly is not empty. ”
Leshui couldn't hold back a smile! This person looks at a talent, what kind of mess is written? If there is no talent in this belly, how can the fish fill it?
I looked at Xu Ang upstairs and thought, "I don't know what this liar wrote?" ”
"O Angdi! See what you've written? Chen Liang said
Xu Ang just finished writing, quite complacent, but quickly hid in his arms and didn't show him,
When Chen Liang saw it, it was really boring. When I looked back to see what Chen Shiqi wrote, Chen Shiqi didn't show it to him, so he simply threw what he wrote on the table
"You two are so boring, don't you just have fun? You see, I've written it all for you! Chen Liang said
The two looked at it and saw it written on the paper
Qingqing Zijin, my heart, for the sake of laughter, single so far!
Yo yo deer chirping, fishing so far. I have a daughter, and I am married.
The two of them were shocked, Xu Ang and Chen Shiqi thought to themselves, this literary thief is a promising profession, Comrade Chen Liang at this moment, he is not writing poetry alone, the great Emperor Cao Cao of Wei, at this moment and Chen Liang's soul possessed!
Seeing that the two were impressed by their masterpieces, Chen Liang was quite proud, and wanted to see the poems written by Chen Shiqi and Xu Ang, but the two of them refused to let them, and suddenly twisted into a ball, which was interesting.
