Chapter 12: The Oiran Contest (2)
Lin Yi raised his eyes and looked at it, only to see behind him, a team of women came one after another, the first one was Li Sima, and behind her was a graceful woman in white, with a bun on her head, full of pearls, looking at her face, a round face, a pair of big and round eyes, very bright, a shallow smile, it happened to be a very gorgeous peony flower, which made people so intoxicated, and immediately a pair of eyes looked straight at the future, stunned!
The woman saw him, and as she passed by him, she snorted softly through her nose, and without looking at him, she walked straight past him with her face held high, like a proud little rooster. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Jiu Ma walked out of the team, greeted Li Si Ma and smiled: "Yo! Mother Li, you Qunfanglou are late this time, could it be that you heard that our Yihong Courtyard has a strong lineup and has stage fright? If so, admit defeat early! It's embarrassing to save it. ”
Li Sima also laughed and said, "Stage fright? It's really a joke, there are two more girls in our Qunfanglou recently, all of them have flower-like appearances, moon-like appearances, good singing and dancing, plus our Qunfanglou's top brand Li Lingyu, I don't know who will be embarrassed this time? ”
Wang Jiu Ma smiled: "I'm afraid that someone can't compare with each other in the open, but in secret?" Fourth Mother Li, you won't cheat again this time? With that, he squinted at her.
Li Sima's face was stunned, but then she smiled and said: "The old lady wants to win, you win above board, why do you need to play any tricks, this time is extraordinary, it will definitely make you lose convincingly!" ”
Wang Jiu Ma smiled: "I'm afraid that it may not be, let's wait and see!" ”
Li Sima snorted coldly in her nose, ignored her, turned her head and saw Yang Huijuan standing not far away, with a smile on her face again, looking at her with her eyes, and laughing: "Isn't this Yang Huijuan, the top brand of Yihong Courtyard?" You're here to participate in the competition, right? Don't worry, you are about to go to our Qunfang Building to pick up guests, follow my mother Li, you wear gold, wear silver, eat and drink fish and meat every day, in the future, when you are old, your mother will find you a talented and good-looking son to marry, and the custody is ten times stronger than what Yihong Courtyard? It's better to come to the fourth mother as soon as possible, and I'll be a bastard! ”
Qiu Ju scolded with a cold face: "Don't worry about it, our young lady already has someone who wants to spend money to redeem her!" ”
Li Sima was surprised: "Who is it?" Is that the merry boy of that family? A handsome son of an official eunuch? Say it to me vs. listen? ”
Qiu Ju proudly turned her mouth to Lin Yi and said, "Look! That son is the one who ransomed the life of my young lady. ”
Li Sima looked at Lin Yi with her eyes, and saw that he was also handsome and elegant, and his temperament was also very calm, with a hint of bookish air on his body, but his hair was very short, like a monk. Just as she was squinting her eyes, a servant beside her stepped forward, bowed down to her and said, "Mother Li, he is just a little turtle slave from Yihong Courtyard just like us!" ”
When Li Sima heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even the girls in the Qunfang Building behind her leaned forward and laughed together, and their eyes were full of mockery when they looked at Lin Yi and Yang Huijuan one by one.
Damn it! Is it funny for Sister Yang to marry Lao Tzu? Which of your eyes saw that Lao Tzu was not worthy of her? Lin Yi's face sank like water, and he was very angry in his heart. Yang Huijuan's face was also pale, and a trace of angry flames erupted from her eyes, and she looked at Li Sima hatefully.
After Li Sima laughed, she said sarcastically: "Only when our kiln sister is old and can't do business, will she find a turtle slave to marry her hastily as a lifelong support." Unexpectedly, the top Oiran of Yihong Courtyard would be willing to fall and be willing to marry a little turtle slave as his wife? It's funny, it's funny! ”
Qiu Ju crossed his hands on his waist, his eyes were wide open, and he reprimanded loudly: "Our Lin Gongzi, Wen Biliu Wuchang, Wusai Chu Overlord, is the four princes of Yangzhou City......" Speaking of this, he paused, and said with disdain on his face: "I'm afraid that they are better than him, how can such a young talent not be worthy of our young lady?" ”
No way! I can't imagine that our male charm is so outstanding, and I am ashamed to ask Qiu Ju, a little girl, to worship it so much! We don't know how to compose lyrics, and we don't know how to draw a bow and shoot arrows, so dare to compare with the four princes of Yangzhou City? People are all good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, a first-class talent, Qiu Ju, what you said is a bit too much, so that your brother Lin feels embarrassed! Lin Yi didn't feel a little fever on his face, but he was very useful in his heart, raised his face, and stood on the ground with his chest straight.
Li Sima raised her eyebrows, a different color flashed in her eyes, and she said lightly: "Oh! This son of your family still has such ability? He turned around, walked up and down in front of Lin Yi, looked him up and down with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Look at the appearance, it's also thoughtful, I'm afraid that it won't live up to its name!" Wencai is even higher than the four princes of Yangzhou? ”
Lin Yi took a step forward and said without humility or arrogance: "There is a specialization in art, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and I am still young in the next, and I dare not compare with the four princes of Yangzhou, but it is just better than them in astronomy, geography, arithmetic, etc., this poetry, calligraphy and painting, can not be used as food, and I am not very proficient in it!" ”
Li Sima smiled and said, "The son is too modest!" How can the person in the top brand of Yihong Courtyard be a general? As he was talking, he saw in the distance, seven or eight people from the Governor of Li Mansion and the general sentence and criminal officer of Yangzhou Mansion came over together, among which there was a twenty-five or six-year-old woman in red, with fair skin, slender body, extremely beautiful appearance, and her temperament and demeanor were especially better than Yang Huijuan and Li Lingyu by seven or eight points, and Lin Yi's heart couldn't help but move.
This...... This sister is not a fairy in the sky, how can she be so good-looking, in Lin Yi's impression, only Jiang Qinqin in the future may be able to compare with it, unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and secretly looked at her.
Li Si Ma and Wang Jiu Ma stepped forward together, bowed to Li Zhifu and others, and said respectfully: "I have seen all the adults and the four sons, I have seen Mr. Qian Yuanwai and Mr. Liu Wubian, Miss Li Xuebing!" ”
Lin Yi took a closer look, and saw that walking side by side with Governor Li was a middle-aged man of medium stature and big belly, wearing a staff suit and a staff hat on his head. There are also four middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, all wearing Confucian clothes, each holding a folding fan, with a gentle and elegant appearance, who must be the famous fourth son of Yangzhou. In addition, there is an old man in his fifties, with a pale face, when Wang Jiu Ma and Li Si Ma saluted him, they respectfully called him Mr. Liu Wubian, knowing that he was a well-known big word man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the most important thing was that he knew the beauty in front of him, her name was Li Xuebing!
Seeing that Wang Jiu Ma and Li Si Ma had saluted, everyone present also saluted Li Zhifu and them. Yingying Yanyan fell down, and the lowly turtle slaves even knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. Lin Yi has never had the habit of kneeling when he sees officials, and he has never knelt when he ran to the prefect's yamen all day long during this time, and when he saw Governor Li's mansion, he naturally stood out from the crowd and was different.
Governor Li took a few steps forward, took Lin Yi's hand, and introduced to the Qian Dawei beside him: "This is the person who proposed the idea of issuing lottery tickets to this government and solving big problems for the imperial court, Brother Wang!" ”
Mr. Qian looked at him with his eyes and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, heroes have been young people, and the little brother is really a genius, amazing!" Amazing! As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up as a sign of praise.
Lin Yi smiled shyly and greeted Mr. Qian.
Governor Li pointed to the four people behind him in turn and introduced: "This is Jin Shicheng, Bian Zhenshan, Wang Yongqi, Li Minwen, and the ten brothers Wang have come to see the four princes of Yangzhou!" ”
Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully with the four of them, and the four of them looked arrogant and saluted him lightly.
Governor Li also introduced Liu Wubian, the first lyricist in the capital, and Li Xuebing, the first prostitute in the capital, to Lin Yi. Lin Yi also respectfully met with the two, but when he bowed his hand to Li Xuebing, he was disappointed, such a beautiful woman turned out to be a prostitute, what a pity, otherwise she married her own wife and hugged her in the bed, but it was not a great blessing?
Li Zhifu said with a smile: "Today, the eight of us are the referees of the Oiran Contest in this realm, Wang Shi, you just need to do the lottery with Master Wang!" ”
Lin Yi bowed down and said, "Don't worry, Lord Prefect, I will definitely handle this matter properly?" ”
Governor Li's face was very happy, he pointed to the door with his hand, and said, "It's not early, let's go in!" Just about to walk forward, I heard Li Sima laughing coquettishly beside her: "Lord Prefect, this Wang Shi is extremely talented, far better than the fourth son of Yangzhou, why don't you also ask him to be the referee of this competition?" ”
Governor Li couldn't help but be stunned, but the faces of the four princes of Yangzhou changed color, and they looked at Lin Yi with a look of resentment.
Damn Li Sima, you don't speak, and no one treats you as a mute, are you clearly deliberately provoking a war between me and the fourth son of Yangzhou? Really hateful? Lin Yi secretly scolded fiercely, threw a smile at the fourth prince of Yangzhou, and arched his hand and said: "Don't listen to her nonsense, the four of you are only shallow in your studies, how can you compare the four!" ”
Li Sima sneered coquettishly: "Yo! Who is the one who is ashamed to say that his astronomy, geography, arithmetic and literary talents are higher than the four sons of Yangzhou? Don't you dare to admit it now? He turned his head and asked Qiu Ju again: "Qiu Ju, have you ever said that your son-in-law Wang Shi, Wen Biliu Wuchang, and Wusai Chu Overlord are stronger than the four princes of Yangzhou Mansion?" ”
Qiu Ju said quickly: "I said it, our son-in-law is indeed talented!" ”
Yang Huijuan hurriedly lowered her face and scolded: "Qiu Ju, don't talk nonsense, how can there be such a thing?" Qiu Ju saw that her young lady scolded her, her face was stubborn, she pursed her mouth, and stood aside, with a look of resentment on her face! This time, even Liu Wubian looked at Lin Yi with a sharp gaze and looked at him carefully, while Li Xuebing watched all this with interest.
