Chapter 485: Orchids Bloom
According to the Ming system, the female music of the Jiaofang Division also has to undertake the task of performing when the Son of Heaven is sacrificed, and dance and music are compulsory courses. It is because many Qinglou women have dancing skills. Of course, the talent and understanding of specific individuals are different, and the skills are high and low. Ma Xianglan's cultivation in this field is the same as Feng Si's martial arts, they are all considered to be the current grandmasters, looking at the world, there are few women who can beat her in dance.
Although she has never studied martial arts, she is inferior to Xue Wu in terms of physical fitness. But from a young age, the flexibility and agility are enough to complete the movements. In terms of difficult movements, he is definitely not as light as Xue Wu, who is as strong as Yan Wu, and when it comes to beautiful dance steps, body shape and eye cooperation, Ma Xianglan is even better.
Qinglou's dance is originally more unrestrained than normal dance, and under Ma Xianglan's careful design, this dance can be called fatal to men. In order to please Fan Jin's naked sword dance, Xue Wu combined his sassy and heroic posture with charm and moving, thinking that he had reached the limit of this way, but when it came to Ma Xianglan's performance, Fan Jin admitted that there was still a mountain high.
There is not much charm and charm in her demeanor and eyes, but she is full of shyness, especially when she makes some bold movements, her face is flushed and she wants to say goodbye, and she is a woman of a good family who carefully pleases her husband in the depths of the boudoir. I want to attract my husband's attention, but I also feel that my behavior is too bold, for fear of arousing my husband's disgust.
This kind of feeling is in place, and it can be expressed in a very rendering way, in this regard, a serious woman is not as professional as a woman in the Qing Building. Ma Xianglan has put a lot of thought into the choreography to the emotional mastery, and the interpretation is superb, under the bright dress and skirt, the slender golden bells appear and disappear from time to time, and the bells match the dancing posture, which firmly attracts Fan Jin's eyes to her. He has seen a lot of dances, and he is also a master of this way, but such a graceful dance is only seen in his life.
Until Ma Xianglan ended with a lying fish, Fan Jin was still stunned for a while, reminiscing about Fang Cai's various actions. Ma Xianglan smiled softly at Fan Jin, "Fan Lang, I'm tired, pick me up." ”
Fan Jin stepped forward and stretched out his hand, but Ma Xianglan hugged him and pulled him to his side and rolled into a ball.
"When Xianglan first entered the industry, my mother once taught me that being a noble woman in front of people and being a woman in the boudoir is a man's gift. A girl from a good family can only do the first one, and very few can do the latter one. If we women want to be the head of the line, we must not only practice eighteen kinds of martial arts, but also be more like a lady in charge than women from good families, otherwise we will be looked down upon and we will not be able to fight as a lady. At that time, I heard my mother say this and thought it made sense, but later I learned that she was a liar. If you think about it, when we became famous, we were only sixteen or seventeen, and even demons couldn't cultivate such a way. When this ability is practiced, the person will become an old woman, and it will be useless to practice. Therefore, this method is not to fight for the first place in the Qing Building, but to please the husband after being good. After all, we are from this background, if we marry someone and have no means, we will not have a good life for a few years if we blindly rely on our skin. But my mother doesn't want to explain it, let us realize it ourselves, what we can understand is Huigen, and if we don't understand, we won't be able to come out in this life. I am more shrewd than the other sisters, and I understood the truth a long time ago, and as for the means...... It's also proficient. It's a pity that I can't meet the right person, and this ability is a dragon slaying technique, which is useless. In the past, I used all my thoughts on Wang Xudeng, but he never mentioned that I would pass the door, so I was not willing to take out this method, and I was ready to use it after I passed the door. ”
Fan Jin's eyes lit up, "Xianglan, do you mean this dance?" ”
"That's right, you're the first man in the world to see this dance, and the last. Although I can't enter the door of the Fan family in my life, and I can't enter the tomb of the Fan family, I know that I am regarded as a good family girl in my heart, and it is enough not to regard me as a maid, and I have regarded myself as the daughter-in-law of the Fan family in my heart. Even if there is no ceremony, I am your concubine, and I will not change in this life! The previous men, including Wang Xuedeng, could only be the guest of Ma Xianglan, the head of Qin Huai, while Fan Lang was the princess of the Ma family, the daughter of the owner of Youlan House......"
The ink on the crab picture had already dried up, but Wang Xudeng still did not leave. He was waiting, and the object of waiting was not Fan Jin, but Ma Xianglan. He is a celebrity, although he can run for Song Guofu for money, and he can also negotiate hard for the success of things, but it does not mean that he has to do it, and failure will be a failure, and it is not a big deal that he will not go to his heart. What he really cares about is Ma Xianglan's problem.
He was actually a little tired of Ma Xianglan before, but today's Ma Xianglan made him rekindle his interest, and Wang Xudeng discovered for the first time that this woman was so beautiful and so moving. Let such a stunner fall into the arms of others, where will you put your face? Even if Ma Xianglan said such heartless words, he wanted to wait, waiting for an opportunity to rebuild the old good.
Most of those old clothes and old jewelry are well preserved, which shows that Ma Xianglan attaches great importance to them. After all, the two have been dating for many years, and he knows this woman very well, she is a nostalgic person and a smart person. The friendship between the two for more than ten years cannot be so ruthless that it will be broken. People lose their temper when they are angry, but they always turn back.
After all, Xianglan is a woman in her thirties, and she is no longer the impulsive and ignorant Oiran leader. She should know that her conditions are not suitable for Fan Jin. In the final analysis, Fan Jin is young and promising, and it is not difficult to want a woman, so why bother looking for her as an outdated woman? At best, it's just playing, and it won't be long before she abandons her, and the only one who can be her destination is herself. Xianglan won't understand such a simple truth, she will turn back, and she will definitely ......
Wang Xudeng asked himself, and also felt that he had treated Ma Xianglan too much. In fact, all she wants is a name, just give it to her herself, and set up a house in Jiangning and don't let her go to the house. She has done so much for herself, and she should show something to her. As far as Wang Xudeng is concerned, this step is already the limit of what can be done, and I believe that Ma Xianglan can also understand his difficulties and will not make trouble unreasonably.
But the waiting time was far beyond his imagination, and the treatment was not as enthusiastic as usual, and no one came to deliver tea and snacks. His mouth was getting drier and his stomach was getting hungrier, and he walked to the door in some frustration, ready to have someone bring him food. As soon as the man arrived in the courtyard, he was seen by Jinbao. She had obviously received the news from her sister, her face was far from being as good-looking as usual, and she walked towards Wang Yuden with a cold face and snorted.
"Uncle Wang hasn't left yet? If you don't say that you have a good life as a scholar, you have a lot of spare time, and you don't have to be in a hurry for a day. If we don't succeed, we will be delayed for such a long time. The ink on this painting has long since dried, right? You should also go back to your life, and stay here so as not to miss the boss's business. Are you hungry? In this case, please go to the front, whether it is drinking or eating, just ask, and I will arrange for someone to do it for you. ”
Wang Xudeng frowned and said: "Jinbao, don't change your way to drive me, when it's time to leave, I will leave by myself, but not now." If I don't see Siniang, I won't be willing to leave anyway. I have something to say to her face to face, she is confused now, you don't want to be confused with her. ”
Jinbao sneered, "We don't understand what you said is confused. We know that we have to listen to Siniang, and we have to do whatever she tells us to do. If you don't even know who you're listening to, you're really confused. If you want to see Siniang, I'm sorry, I can't do this. As for the reason, if you come with me, everything will be clear. ”
With a smile on her face, she pulled the unknown Wang Xue Deng towards another room, and when she came to the back window, Jin Bao made a gesture to listen, but did not let Wang Xue step forward. There was still some distance in the room, but the sound was always audible, and a bell rang out from the room. This voice is very familiar to Wang Xudeng, and it is clearly the movement of the golden bell that Ma Xianglan was carrying. In other words, Siniang is here?
As soon as he thought of this, he heard a murmur coming from the bell. The sound is like a yellow warbler, graceful and moving, Wang Xudeng is very familiar with this sound, and he was also excited and fascinated by such a sound when he was young, and he knows under what circumstances this sound is made. It's just that in recent years, his body has deteriorated, and no matter how gentle a woman is, she can't make such a sound. Just by listening to the sound, you can know how hot the war inside is, Wang Xudeng's heart is even more sour, and his teeth are clenched.
What's more, mixed with this unintentional murmur, the cries of "Xianggong" and "Husband" are particularly harsh, even when the two were most affectionate in the past, Ma Xianglan never called Wang Xudeng like this. Not to mention the intimacy of this kind of voice, even in the years when Wang Xudeng and Ma Xianglan had the closest relationship, they had never experienced it.
I lost...... Ma Xianglan will not look back. Wang Xue took a few steps back, turned around and rolled up the crab in the room and walked out, Jin Bao said loudly behind him: "Master Wang, you forgot those clothes and jewelry." Send it to the pawnshop, and you can exchange it for a few days! ”
Wang Xudeng bowed his head and walked away without saying a word, but after all, he was a scholar, and he couldn't be faster than the big-footed nursing home women in the store. Before he could walk out of Youlanju, several strong female bodyguards had already rushed in front of him, throwing those old clothes and jewelry into the corner like garbage.
Jin Bao fiddled with his handkerchief and leaned against the door, pointed at Wang Yudeng with his chin and said, "Master Wang, this is leaving?" Staying a little longer? Then I won't keep you. The road is slippery at night, remember to look ahead and never look back. A good horse doesn't eat back grass, let alone a good study, and he can't go back. In the future, remember to visit us often when you have time, we have the best food and drink, and it will be cheaper for you when the time comes. ”
Wang Xuedeng didn't say a word, and he didn't pick up the clothes and jewelry that were thrown away. His lonely figure staggered forward, and although he was brightly dressed, his back was no different from that of a beggar on the street. One woman said with some regret: "It's pitiful to say." Isn't it a little too good for us to do things? ”
Jinbao snorted, "What do you know? To deal with this kind of person, you have to do things to the end, so that he can completely die and break it all. Siniang is kind-hearted, in case he comes to the door to entangle in the future, and he is confused for a while, the good life he finally lived will be over again. She is a good person, and the wicked have to be me, and I will break this evil fate for her! After delaying Siniang for so many years, it is long overdue to get out! Don't look at it, how old he has become, and he has no money. Where can it be compared to Master Fan's young and rich people, rich and rich. As long as you are not blind, you know what to choose. A man like Master Fan, there is no shortage of women around him, there is such an opportunity that must be seized, if you miss it, you can't find it back. You are too young to understand the power here, so you don't mix with it. Listen to me! ”
In the room, the wind and rain have stopped. Ma Xianglan was paralyzed in Fan Jin's arms, her eyes full of warmth. She used to laugh and scold as a character on the scene, but her performance at this time was no different from that of an ordinary woman from a good family. Looking at Jiang Ning, only Fan Jin has seen her like this.
She carefully reported to Fan Jin, explained her belongings clearly, and finally said:
"I am now going to be the daughter-in-law of the Fan family, so naturally I can't save a private house. In the future, you will go back to Beijing to get married, marry the prime minister's daughter, and bring back some more silver, you will be looked down upon. Song Guofu used gold and silver to buy you, and he also saw that you were poor. But you are poor, your women are not poor, my money is your money. My father-in-law, I can't let others look down on him, especially a profiteer like Song Guofu who is unkind to the rich! ”
Fan Jin laughed and said: "In this way, I turned my face with Wang Xudeng today, but it made Siniang fall in love." It seems to be worth it, offending a businessman and getting the favor of a good woman like you, this deal is worth it. ”
Ma Xianglan said: "There are few people in Jiangning City who treat me as a good woman, and I am afraid that there are few people, and I am willing to think so only when I think about it." God has been kind to me and has given you such a good man, it is my creation. If she is a happy woman, she only needs to please the man, and she will say good things. But if I want to be your lady, I have to say a few words of advice. It is right to retreat and enforce the law impartially and not be afraid of financial power. The Shen family has wronged me, and I also know it in my heart. But when today's wealth is clear, it's not for you to be reasonable. Song Guofu is rich in the southeast, if you break out of the silver, I'm afraid your life will not be easy. Now that I'm your woman, I can't associate with my old friends anymore, but the sisters below know a few old men. Do you want to invite them first, have a drink, and make things clear? ”
"Your friends don't have to cut it in two, open the door to do business, it is impossible to only do women's business and not do men's business, the relationship that should be maintained must be maintained, I will not eat this kind of dry vinegar. Just looking for a relationship...... Then you don't have to. I think Song Guofu should also have a master around him, and he won't just look for ginseng for me, it's too cheap for me. The biggest possibility is to make a mess, so that people have to do it and force the court to express its position. ”
Ma Xianglan raised her eyebrows, "They dare?" Aren't you afraid of the royal court? ”
"Of course, the salt merchant is afraid of the king's law, so this matter will not be the salt merchant coming forward, but just using the topic to play. There are methods in officialdom that kill people without seeing blood, and Song Guofu does not lack such means and abilities. ”
"If that's the case, how do you deal with it?"
"It's nothing, it's just a soldier coming to block it. In fact, this is a good opportunity, only to say that the salt merchants are rich and noble, and the imperial court lacks understanding. This time, use me as a target, lure them out, put on a good show, and let the court know how much energy the salt merchants have. Zhang Jiangling is such a domineering character, where can he tolerate a salt merchant who has the power to stir up the place. The harder they jump, the harder they will clean up in the future. Those are all masters, the more you jump, the better, and you won't be able to run away when the time comes. As for me...... In fact, there are many people who want to scold me, and what I did in Shangyuan is destined to harm the interests of many people. I don't know how many people are looking forward to me getting out of the way soon. But the more the salt merchant messes with me, the safer my position will be, because there is a face at stake. When right and wrong rise to a battle of will, it is not important whether I am right or wrong, but the issue of face is the most important. So I'm now waiting for the salt merchant to sue me, and the more vicious the lawsuit, the safer I will be. It's nothing more than a matter of staying in Shangyuan for a few more years and a few years less. ”
Ma Xianglan sighed at this time, "If that's the case, then I'll rest assured." The longer I stay in Shangyuan, the more I like it, anyway, in the end, Miss Zhang is in a hurry. But if you think about it, you can withstand the golden bullet, what about the meat bullet? Don't forget, the Song family is still pregnant with a child......" Speaking of this, Ma Xianglan sneered, the orchid was in full bloom, and the room was full of fragrance.
