Chapter 1050: The Great Prodigal Son of the Qinglou
Since Zhao Xing shot down Chen Gongchuan, the people in the room were shocked, they couldn't figure out that Chen Gongchuan was such a half-big brand, it seemed to be empty-handed, and the shot was a big pearl, as if such a huge pearl was the cabbage of the head of his garden, and he didn't cherish it.
Chen Yiniang saw that Zhao Xing's face was gloomy, and several people in the room looked incredulous, she asked uncertainly: "Big official, this reward is too generous, if it's a child messing around, please take it back." As long as the slave bears this name, it is enough to be glorified. β
Zhao Xingyi waved his hand: "It's just an ordinary pearl, you just have to take it - but I have one condition: you are not allowed to reveal who you have seen here, if there is a leak, you are asked." β
Only then did Qin Guan and the others understand that in fact, Zhao Xing didn't care about the value of this pearl, what he cared about was that Chen Gongchuan was so flamboyant and exposed their existence.
Waving his hand and throwing 50,000 yuan, what kind of luxury should this be?
In order not to attract attention, even such wealth is willing to give up. So how much is Zhao Xing's identity worth? What is he trying to hide?
Thinking about it, Liao Xiaoxiao, Qin Guan and the Zhou brothers couldn't help but be silent.
Chen Yiniang also noticed the strangeness, she hurriedly glanced at the turtle slave, and added carefully: "Don't worry, the big officials have rules, as long as they continue to do this, no one will dare to reveal the identity of the guests - turtle slaves...... I'll tell the owner of Lotus Fang. β
The turtle slave also reassured. Zhao Xing nodded lightly, and asked lightly, "How much is your redemption silver?" β
Chen Yiniang was overjoyed, looked at Chen Gongchuan, who was still asleep, and replied softly: "The slave is now a free body, and today he gets this reward, and the slave is already content. β
"Good!" Zhao Xing immediately took over the other party's words: "After you clean up all this, you can go to Hele Building to find Dong Xiaoliang." He knows my new home, let him take you to meβremember, I'm only waiting for you for five days, and after five days. We're not related to each other ever since. β
"Thank you, the big official", Chen Yiniang hurriedly thanked her, and when she left, she glanced at the sleeping Chen Gongchuan again.
Chen Yiniang left, Liao Xiaoxiao hadn't left yet, she looked at Zhao Xing longingly, flashing her big eyes but not speaking. Zhao Xing kindly reminded: "Is it your turn to play?" β
"As soon as the South China Sea walked the beads. Who can compete for Yi Niang's demeanor", Liao Xiaoxiao said with annoyance: "The slave family just changed the order of appearance with Song Xiaoniang, and only then did they lead Chen Yi Niang here...... Hey, I really don't want to be on the stage today
Zhao Xing smiled: "It's a pity that I'm not as crazy as my brother-in-law, I'm sorry." β
Liao Xiaoxiao said this in the hope that Zhao Xing's colorful head could overpower Chen Gongchuan and give her a long face - after all, Chen Gongchuan appeared with his own fart, and this young man can do this. Can't Zhao Xing do it?
But Zhao Xing's words blocked her intentions. Liao Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled, and he immediately said: "It's rare to meet Qin Guanren and Zhou Taixue, two great wordsmen, why don't you push the slave family to the stage and concentrate on serving a few Shiyuan here." β
Qin Guan immediately reminded: "Great, I heard that Xiaoxiao has learned a new song, so it's better to sing it in our house, so." It does not fall in price. β
Qin Shaoyou is worthy of being the prodigal son of the Qinglou, and his mind to coax girls is first-class. In the blink of an eye, he had come up with a solution.
Zhao Xing is unwilling to pay a higher reward, so no matter who plays in the field, she will not be in the limelight than Chen Yiniang. Rather than being degraded on stage, it is better to turn a public performance into a private performance.
This house offers a sky-high reward, and the people in the house deliberately keep it secretive. And Chen Yiniang has been to this room. Then hurriedly took his leave. Liao Xiaoxiao stayed in the room to sing to the guests, and thus affected the public performance. So. What reward Liao Xiaoxiao will get, she doesn't say, no one can know.
In this way, Liao Xiaoxiao took retreat as advance, avoided Chen Yiniang's edge, and did not fall in price. However, the object of everyone's resentment turned to the mysterious guest in this room......
Qin Guan really spares no effort to women. It's hard for him to come up with a solution for Liao Xiaoxiao in the blink of an eye.
Liao Xiaoxiao's big eyes flickered, and she understood Qin Guan's thoughtfulness, she sent a Qiu Bo as a thank you, clapped her hands and beckoned the turtle slave to bring her musician over, and the turtle slave promised to leave the room repeatedly, and never came in since.
After the turtle slave said goodbye, there were no outsiders in the room, and Chen Gongchuan suddenly "snorted", rubbed his neck, got up, and said: "Why are you making the decision for me again, although this Chen Yiniang's skills are wonderful, but I haven't reached the point of marrying her home - don't you know, her surname is Chen, and she is not married with the same surname." β
Liao Xiaoxiao was amused by the phenomenon in front of her, she looked at Chen Gongchuan who was rubbing her neck, and asked curiously: "Chen Yanei, did you wake up early?" Just now...... Did you hear it all? β
A crisp gong suddenly sounded in the hall outside the house, and under the cover of this gong, Chen Gongchuan gently avoided Liao Xiaoxiao's question. At the same time, Zhao Xing also adopted the same model, avoiding Chen Gongchuan's cross-examination.
Among the few people in the room, Qin Guan and Zhou Bangyan brothers didn't care about what was performing in the arena at all, they didn't mean to drink. hurriedly beckoned Liao Xiaoxiao to prepare to sing a new song. Zhao Xing and Chen Gongchuan took the opportunity to get out, they leaned on the railing, separated by several thick layers of veil, and enjoyed the next public performance.
This time it was an old man on the stage - this kind of program order seems to be different from what Liao Xiaoxiao told - the old man gags and tells jokes, and the audience is amused by him and bursts of laughter.
"This is Zhang Shanren's joke, specializing in slang and funny", Liao Xiaoxiao is worthy of being a master of communication with her eyes and ears in all directions, when she was taking care of Qin Guan and a few other people, she took the time to flash to Zhao Xing's side, lifted the veil, revealed half of her body, and pointed to the center of the field to introduce Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing smiled at Liao Xiaoxiao gently, he seemed to see through Liao Xiaoxiao's careful eyes, and naughtily squeezed his eyes at the other party, which made Liao Xiaoxiao's face red, she made a coquettish movement, waved her sleeves, and retracted behind the gauze curtain.
Liao Xiaoxiao did it on purpose just now. She deliberately lifted the curtain to reveal half of her body, and deliberately talked to the person inside the curtain, and then pretended to be coquettish. Let everyone see her existence clearly, and then shrink back...... It's all a show.
The box where Zhao Xing was just now gave Chen Yiniang a sky-high reward, which made everyone guess who the mysterious big high-roller in the room was. Liao Xiaoxiao showed his face suddenly, and then made fun of his appearance. Can others guess anything else?
This appearance, the perfect acting showed the image of Liao Xiaoxiao being favored by the big high-roller. Therefore, the honor of the stage is irrelevant to her, and who can belittle her for this game.
What Liao Xiaoxiao just said was a "lie". In modern times, it is called "stand-up comedy", or "sketch". The Song Dynasty "Dialect" is the ancestor and origin of Chinese sketches, but due to the subsequent ...... This cultural heritage is broken.
Each joke has its own cultural atmosphere, Zhang Shanren's "jokes" made Qin Guan and the Zhou brothers laugh when they heard it, but Zhao Xing was inexplicable, and Chen Gongchuan had to wait a while to taste the joke ingredients in it.
The reason why Zhao Xing and Chen Gongchuan behaved like this was because they were not familiar with the local culture behind the jokes. Because these jokes are often quoted from scriptures, those who know them find it ridiculous. Zhao Xing didn't know at all, and Chen Gongchuan needed to reminisce. to remember.
As a result, all the people in the house were laughing, and Zhao Xing was the only one with a widowed expression.
Liao Xiaoxiao's band came, and there were several Maiko singers who came with the band, and they were entangled with Qin Guan and the Zhou brothers, Liao Xiaoxiao opened his body and walked to Zhao Xing's side. Tried his best to invite: "Official, wait for the music to start." You're going to need a lot of advice. These musicians of mine are only learning new songs, and you don't have to laugh at what you can practice in an afternoon. β
When Zhang Shanren's "talk" was halfway to the middle of the waist, Zhao Xing's private room had a knock on the cloud board, and the music sounded melodiously. The tune is the song "When is the bright moon".
This kind of behavior is actually a provocation to the people of Zhang Shan. When the other party's performance was not completed, the music played in the small private room. And the music is still very beautiful, which makes Zhang Shanren very shameless.
The music rang out and over again. The first time the music seemed to be complete, the second time it was a little choppy, as if someone in the box was instructing them on their playing skills. But just these scattered fragments of the sticks are already breathtaking.
In the box, Zhao Xing was indeed pointing out Liao Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't point out anything to the music, he was pointing out things other than the music.
"Leave it blank and the space between the pieces needs to be left to the imagination, so there should be a pause between the upper and lower parts of the song...... Here, this piano sound, this sound is not in harmony with the sound of the music, is there a yangqin? Is there a guzheng? Erhu? No, let's make do with it. β
The third time the music sounded, Zhang Shanren sighed in the audience, and shouted in his voice: "With this music, what else do you want to say, little girl, please show your singing voice." β
Separated by two layers of veils, the people outside the venue faintly saw that there were many maiko dancing to the music in Zhao Xing's room, they couldn't see the content of the dance, but they could hear a small singing. The ethereal and elegant singing voice of the little one reached the ears of everyone through the layers of veils, and the people present held their breath and listened to the little singing.
After a song, the invitation to Liao Xiaoxiao came like a tide, and Liao Xiaoxiao's role was presented at this time. Not long after she was invited, she reflexively returned to the box and invited Zhao Xing and them to come and get together.
This was the way of socializing in the Song Dynasty. The presence of kabuki in the box is the lubricator for the guests. After they have demonstrated their skills, they are invited by other guests to go there β a modern act called "walking the stage" or "turntable".
The turntable of singers is popular with the hirers, and that's where they come in. When they arrive at another box, they will introduce the situation of the box to the guests of that box, and if they feel the need to strengthen communication between the two boxes, they will tell the singer of the "turntable", and when the singer returns to her box, they will convey the invitation to the host.
Generally speaking, this kind of invitation comes and goes, and Zhao Xing and they can also ask others to meet in their box. However, today's situation is a bit strange, when Liao Xiaoxiao went out, Zhao Xing and Chen Gongchuan told her in unison not to reveal her existence, so this box did not send an invitation, for which the people present deeply regretted.
However, in this way, Qin Guan and the Zhou brothers became the most popular people, they were constantly invited by others to other boxes, tossing and turning, and after a while, even Liao Xiaoxiao couldn't be sure where they were now.
Later, after this social activity in the Song Dynasty, it was found that Zhao Xing and Chen Gongchuan did not communicate with people at all, Liao Xiaoxiao simply resigned from all the invitations, called a sister to accompany him, and stayed in Zhao Xing's box and stopped moving around.
When facing Chen Yiniang, Chen Gongchuan was drunk, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed very sober, and his voice was not angry at all, and asked Zhao Xing: "Look, your brother Qin, can you keep it a secret?" β
Hearing this, Liao Xiaoxiao already understood that Chen Gongchuan was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger just now. But it seems that the traces of his performance imitation are too heavy, and among those present, perhaps, the giant man in front of him is the best performer. With his majestic body, as long as he pretends to be rude, even Liao Xiaoxiao sometimes forgets that the person in front of him has also written beautiful poems.
"Definitely", Zhao Xing replied calmly: "Qin Shaoyou can't keep a secret in his heart, this person is too real, and he is too good-looking, a few words and a blow will immediately fall into the trap - but what secret do we have?" β
Zhao Xing smiled innocently: "We don't have any secrets, the only secret is that you just threw a pearl to others on impulse." What else is there? β
Zhao Xing meant to imply Chen Gongchuan when he said this: his secret is now only known to Su Shi's family, and what Qin Guan knows is that Chen Gongchuan is a scholar of the Yue Kingdom and admires Su Shi's poems, so he came to visit Zhao Xing, and that's it.
Zhao Xing and Chen Gongchuan are not afraid of people knowing this information, and this is also what they want others to know.
Liao Xiaoxiao and the other kabuki present misunderstood the secret words of these two people in person, and they thought that these two people were used to not being public, so they didn't want others to know their names and identities.
"Don't worry, big official, I've already instructed my sister, pay attention to remind Qin Xiaoguan to travel less, don't let him say what he shouldn't say."
Chen Gongchuan actually said casually that he had enough confidence in the concealment of his identity. At this time, he had already put the troubles just now behind him, and only looked at the lotus pond absentmindedly, and asked involuntarily: "What about Little Lady Song, didn't you say that there was her hundred-tongue performance today, why didn't you come up yet." β
Liao Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and smiled: "Chen Gongzi, you are anxious, you already have Chen Yiniang in your family, why should you be greedy for Song Xiaoniang!" β
The little lady who was sitting with Liao Xiaoxiao lowered her head and smiled shyly. Zhao Xing had already looked away, and Chen Gongchuan looked at the little lady and opened his mouth wide: "Could it be ......?"
