Text 332 The Legend of the White Snake
Li Hong perfunctory Pei Wanying's words, looking around and nodding his head, as for whether he took Pei Wanying's words to heart, Li Hong himself didn't know.
Seeing that the flower shop that can accommodate two or three hundred people was actually full, and the pile of scholars at the door stood outside and looked inside from afar, and even if you didn't want to see this flower shop, you could go to that side and go around.
To put it bluntly, the poetry club is a place for drinking and having fun, and only when the literati and ink artists are rising, maybe they will dance and ink, and now these people are still in the warm-up stage, waiting for the ladies on the stage to raise their emotions.
Li Hong came to the table with four more scholars, three men and one woman, and after a few people nodded and said hello, they began to watch the performance on the stage.
I don't know if Li Hong is too fierce and vicious, or if he has been in a high position for a long time, there is a momentum that no one is close to, and none of the three men and one woman who came dared to sit side by side with him, so Li Hong also enjoyed the treatment of sitting alone, and Pei Wanying and Pei Si sat on his left hand side together.
Looking at the entire hall in a novel way, Li Hong found that except for the literati, who were the literati, there was no one to come? Why don't you know anyone!
"Won't anyone from this dignitary, prince or nobleman come to this poetry meeting?" Li Hong looked at Pei Wanying curiously and asked.
"Why not, it's just that it hasn't come out yet, when they appear, it should be when 'Duzhi' comes to power, and they need to be invited by 'Duzhi', so naturally it won't appear now." Pei Wanying explained to Li Hong.
The prostitutes of this era were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the high-class beauties were mainly used to receive high-ranking officials and nobles, and celebrities. The medium-sized beauties are the playthings of wealthy businessmen and small and medium-sized officials. The inferior ones are those who can have fun regardless of their status and status as long as they give money.
This third class, at least from these four flower shops, can not be found, but if there is only two class, the four flower shops will not make the business smaller?
So, naturally, it extends to the top of the best, and these beauties need to have more talent than the top beauties, more beautiful faces and figures, and the inner nature is natural, it is required to be able to recite poetry, be able to speak and sing, play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even be familiar with the past.
And if there is such a beauty, it will become the signboard of each flower shop, as for the four flower shops can obtain the leading status of the flower shop, naturally because they have such a hand, recognized by the literati and ink writers as the best of the best beauties, by everyone called "all know".
Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, and then heard the scholar next to him sighing at the singing on the stage: "If this son can find a confidant like Brother Zheng, it will be enough in this life." ”
When he said this, the scholar smiled at Pei Wanying, obviously wanting to express his favor to Pei Wanying through the deeds of Li Yaxian and Zheng Yuanhe.
"Hey, look ahead, what are you looking at this way? The person you're looking for is on stage. Li Hong tapped his fingers on the table to warn the scholar.
"You...... You are a man who is ...... the scenery. The scholar looked at Li Hong's threatening eyes, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart, you have been talking for a long time, and after talking about the scenery, it was really as Li Hong said, and he turned his head and began to look at the stage.
Pei Wanying looked at Li Hong's appearance and smiled involuntarily, pulled down his sleeve, and whispered: "This is not comparable to a barracks, literati need to be cultivated, don't threaten or scare people like that." ”
Pei Wanying said in her heart that Li Hong was born in the military, although he was talented, but he was also a member of the military anyway, and he did not deal with these scholars and literati all the year round, for fear that he would be impulsive and take out the temper of a military person, and then have a conflict with others.
"This ...... I know this, but I just can't get used to talking about a story, as if there is no other story besides this one. Li Hong shook his head dissatisfied, looked at Pei Wanying and said.
"In that case, this son has a more exciting story than the story of Li Yaxian's lady and Zheng Yuanhe?" The scholar sitting opposite glanced at their classmates in the poetry club, looked at the stage by Li Hong, and when he heard Li Hong's words, he couldn't help but ask.
Li Hong ignored the scholar at a glance, this kind of person is the kind of master who doesn't think it's a big deal when he sees the excitement, and he will only make a fool of himself whether it's good or bad, so he doesn't even bother to say a perfunctory word.
"Then I'll tell you a story, I guarantee that it will be more exciting than this story of Li Yaxian and Zheng He!" Li Hong took a sip of tea with a smile, and Yang Wuzhi next to him frowned, it stands to reason that these need to be tested by himself before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can drink them.
The scholar touched a soft nail, saw that Li Hong didn't pay attention to him at all, and was stunned for a while, his face began to turn red, and he held back a sentence for a long time: "Insulting Sven, hum." After dyeing, he turned his head and followed his classmates and began to look at the stage.
Pei Wanying smiled helplessly as if she knew Li Hong's temper, and after watching the scholar turn his head angrily, she asked Li Hong, who was winking at her, "Really?" What's the story? Can you tell me? ”
Pei Wanying's eyes lit up, as a woman who has not yet left the cabinet, if she says that she does not yearn for her love, it is called a deception, so the affair between a prostitute and a literati can be regarded as catering to people's yearning for love stories in this period.
At this moment, when I heard Li Hong say that there is a more exciting story than this, it is like a woman in the previous life who has found a better romance TV series, her eyes are shining with excitement, and she has excited expectations in her heart.
"That's nature, it's just better than this story." Li Hong took another sip of tea, looking at Pei Wanying's excited eyes, he felt that he could be a storyteller, so as to make Pei Wanying worship himself even more.
But he didn't know that since he read the military march in Lantian, and later his promise to Sun Simiao, coupled with his ability to cure smallpox, his image in Pei Wanying's heart has become taller, and he even has a little reverence.
Otherwise, Pei Wanying would not have met him for the first time today, so she gave him the distinguished invitation card without any doubt, and then after entering the poetry club, she once again helped him resolve the embarrassment, and at this moment she began to be afraid that he would offend those scholars, and began to tell him some experiences of literati and ink artists.
At this time, the stage was also replaced by a woman's dance, with a light body with graceful movements, and small steps as if they did not touch the ground, flying around on the stage, interpreting the graceful figure to the fullest.
"What's that story?" Pei Wanying asked in a low voice.
She is not like Li Hong, there are no rules in her eyes, at least she knows how to be quiet, showing respect for the women on the stage, and she can't be loud below because others are performing hard.
"Want to hear it? So I'll tell you? Li Hong looked at Pei Wanying and asked.
Pei Wanying looked at Li Hong with gentle eyes, and the two dimples on her cheeks appeared again as if they were rewarding Li Hong, and Li Hong's heart was rippling when she saw it.
"Legend has it that for a long, long, long time...... In the past, when a scholar went up the mountain to collect medicine, he met a small injured snake, so the scholar saved the snake and released it back into the forest. And this little snake in order to repay the grace of saving his life, after practicing for thousands of years, he was finally able to turn into a person, and came down the mountain to find his life-saving benefactor, and on the way he also met another green snake spirit of cultivation, whose name was Xiaoqing, so the two went to the ...... Oh yes, go to Yuhang County to find a life-saving benefactor in order to repay the favor. So I played in the West Lake of Yuhang County, and happened to meet the life-saving benefactor Xu Xian, and the two took shelter from the rain in the same boat, and fell in love at first sight. Li Hong looked at Pei Wanying blinking her eyes, listening intently to her story, and instantly had the urge to be a storyteller with a whisker.
"Then, the two got married, and after the marriage, the monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple met Xu Xian and told him that his wife Bai Suzhen was a thousand-year-old snake demon...... Later, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Xian, in order to test whether his mother was a snake demon, secretly prepared wine with realgar for Bai Suzhen to drink ....... Li Hong glanced at Pei Wanying, who was concentrating, and found that not only Pei Wanying and Pei Si were listening, but also a few scholars at the table were also eavesdropping at this time.
Li Hong deliberately kept his mouth shut, not wanting to wait for Pei Wanying to urge him, the scholar next to him involuntarily urged: "What's next?" Tell us about it! Who says that halfway through the story will stop telling it? ”
"Didn't I tell you, okay? I'm talking to these two beauties, don't you see those performances well? Li Hong cautiously held a grudge, looked at the scholar and said.
Pei Wanying, who was on the side, looked at Li Hong's childish appearance, and couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker, this person is really funny, holding such a grudge, people just smiled at him just now, and he was not happy.
Thinking of this, Pei Wanying's face suddenly turned red, she was like this, she thought like this just now, didn't she think that there was something wrong between herself and him!
After Li Hong refuted the scholar, he looked back at Pei Wanying again, only to see that Pei Wanying's beautiful cheeks were suddenly flushed at some point, looking at the delicate and beautiful face, he couldn't help but look a little stupid, especially the tempting little dimple, which seemed to be shiny at the moment, making him want to kiss it.
"Tell your story." Pei Wanying found that Li Hong's gaze was looking at her stupidly, lowered her head shyly, and said coquettishly.
Interesting, interesting, I'm afraid this girl is Sichun, right? Could it be that listening to the legend of the white snake can make you think of spring? I knew that I should have told stories in Taiyi City, what kind of poems did I chant.
"You still can't talk about it? What are you doing stupidly looking at other beautiful women? The other woman was obviously very moved to listen, and saw that Li Hong just looked at Pei Wanying stupidly and without speaking, so she urged.
When Pei Wanying heard the woman say that Li Hong was still looking at her, she was even more embarrassed to look up, but when the woman spoke, she glanced at Li Hong, lowered her head again, and picked up the teacup to cover up the shame in her heart.
