Chapter 12 Each has its own usefulness

Several prostitutes looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on the prostitutes beside Liu Xu. www.biquge.info She was obviously not the prettiest of them all, although her jet-black hair was as clear as seaweed, and her lips were as red as fire, but her thin cheeks and high nose bridge made her obviously not in line with the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty. However, just as Liu Xu secretly speculated, he dared to come out and sing even if he was not beautiful, thinking that he had a masterpiece.

The prostitute stood up and gave a deep blessing: "The skill of the micro end is not enough to serve the eyes and ears, but ask the Venerable One to be happy." ”

She used a moon lyre, which was as full as the fifteenth moon, with a short neck, and the whole body showed the gold of a full moon, and it was carved with various patterns. Liu Xu also saw that some parts of the body of the piano had been rubbed by the owner to a slight oily finish, and this combination of human grease and wood texture made this Yueqin even more valuable.

"The moon qin can be round, and it is difficult to round people, and the good music is a soul-chasing, a good piano, a good piano." Liu Xu muttered.

The prostitute sang a song of Wu Dishan, the content of which Liu Xu couldn't understand, but even if he couldn't understand Wu Nong's soft language, it made people feel as if they had drunk alcohol. The four fields are silent, the night falls, Liu Xu seems to see a bright moon gradually rising from under the willow flowers, this round of the moon is so round, her brilliance from the middle of the sky to the mountains and rivers of Wudi, the mountains are shrouded by the moonlight, as if wearing a gauze clothes, the water is patronized by the moonlight, and the sparkling waves reveal the unique gentleness of the Wudi landscape.

She spoke, although she couldn't hear what she was saying, but Liu Xu could feel the kind of grievance that was almost condensed into substance, was it the distant soldier who had not returned for a long time, or the eunuch scholar who couldn't stay, or the affectionate merchant Fuliang to buy tea? Liu Xu didn't know, he only knew that it was a bright day, but the light around was collected by the Yueqin in the hands of the prostitute, and the collected light was collected into a round of moonlight, which hung high in the restaurant.

At the end of the song, Liu Xu felt like a world away, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "If the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters the customs, can this kind of music be heard again?" ”

Is it to fight bravely and completely destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that backwardness can no longer defeat civilization, or to accept it when it is good, and prepare to move to Nanyang? For the first time in his life, he felt unsure of his thoughts, and it made him a little scared.

"This song should only be in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times, good, good." Su He praised loudly: "With this song and jade in front, if our brothers don't have clear words and beautiful sentences, don't take it out and offer it ugly." ”

Liu Xu smiled when he heard this, if it was better than copying books and reciting poems, he was really not afraid of making a fool of himself, after all, he still had hundreds of years of poetry savings in the Qing Dynasty behind him, and he had Nalan Xingde, Cha Shenxing and others as backers.

After thinking about it, copying out a good poem at this time is quite conducive to his great cause, which can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, so that Nalan will pay tribute to the prostitute a hundred years later.

It was Liu Xu who immediately said without hesitation: "Shop, bring a pen and paper!" ”

The ink is a pine smoke ink that has been ground a long time ago, and it smells cool, obviously adding drugs such as borneol and camphor, the pen is refined wolf hair, and the paper is sprinkled with gold and shengxuan, and everything is a fine product, and it can be seen that even if the store is a vassal elegance, this preparation homework is also done very well.

"Boyang, with this song in front, we can't show our ugliness!" Wang Zhen didn't expect that Liu Xu, who had never been good at poetry, would open his mouth to write poems, which made him feel a little surprised, after all, he had studied Tang poetry since he was a child, and he was quite confident in his level.

Liu Xu smiled slightly, did not speak, and wrote on the paper:

Mulan words

If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.

Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable.

Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the drizzle did not complain.

How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day.

When a poem came out, the audience was silent. Liu Xu looked back, Wang Zhen opened his mouth and muttered, Xu Fuyuan was stunned and a little panicked, Su He's expression was the most exaggerated, he forgot to swallow a sip of wine in his mouth, and the milky white wine flowed down the collar without realizing it. As for Liu Ruyi and Li Fengtian, they were also shocked, but they had a lower status and did not dare to speak, but just recited the poem silently, for fear of forgetting.

After a long time, the prostitute who played sighed leisurely, "The concubine has this poem in this life, I Liu Yue want to come and will definitely leave a name in history, but Lang Jun is too late!" Her eyes looked directly at Liu Xu, and there was worship and resentment in it that could not be hidden. When the other prostitutes saw this, they didn't dare to play the piano anymore, for fear of becoming a foil, but they just looked at Liu Xu, as if they wanted to poke Liu Xu out of a hole with their eyes.

Xu Fuyuan sighed: "In the past, I still told people that Boyang Gongshi has eight strands of writing and does not understand poetry, which is a fly in the ointment, but now it seems that I am lonely and unheard." As soon as this poem comes out, it can be covered alone! ”

Liu Xu had expected everyone's reaction, after all, this is a poem through the ages that Nalan Xingde famous, and he vomited out of his life, so he was not modest, but said: "Brother, this poem has been brewing for several years, and now the song is played, and the arms are wide open, because of this article, it can be regarded as a coincidence." ”

The two little singing teenagers obviously know poetry, and their eyes have never left Liu Xu since the words of Mulan came out, allowing Wang Zhen to drink several more glasses of wine. The shopkeeper who rushed to hear the news was overjoyed to see this, and hurriedly asked people to send the rice paper to the best framing master in the county to frame it, which will be an heirloom in the future, and today's consumption is all free of charge.

Liu Xu finished writing a poem, was in a good mood, raised his wine glass and said: "If there is poetry and no wine today, wouldn't it be a great disaster?" Drink this cup with me, and wish us all the best for tomorrow! ”

"Good, good!" Everyone was very face-saving and drank the wine in their glasses, so the scene began to become enthusiastic.

At this time, the hot dish was also on the table, Liu Xu took a bite of the button meat, turned his head slightly, and saw the two teenagers looking at him with a blank eye, and couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm not good at prostitution, let alone singing, and it is no good for you to stay with me." ”

The younger brother Zhou Jun blinked his eyes and said, "You said before that it would be useful to find us, I don't know what we can help you?" Liu Xu remembered his previous words, so he said, "You two, are you afraid of death?" ”

Zhou Jun didn't expect Liu Xu to say such a thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he knew that this opportunity was rare at the moment, so he said loudly: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of being bullied." The husband can't eat five tripods in life, and he should cook five tripods when he dies! ”

"I can't see that you have such ambition at such a young age, looking at your appearance and conversation, it seems that you were not from an ordinary family before." Liu Xu saw a trace of his own shadow from the young man in front of him, which made him feel familiar and intimate, but also made him feel a hint of threat.

Zhou Jun's face darkened, and he said softly in an almost imperceptible voice: "The family has been changed, and it is extremely miserable, not enough to serve the audience, and now my two brothers are only in the hall, and they are seriously ill, so they have to come here to sell songs and buy medicine." ”

"This makes sense," Liu Xu looked at the two of them and said, "I have a big thing to do, I need to rely on your strength, I asked you if you were afraid of death before It was just a temptation, in fact, this matter is very safe, and several of us are involved." If you are willing to do it, I will bear all the cost of the soup and medicine in Lingtang, and each of you can take twenty taels of silver. ”

Su He was surprised: "Good girl, Brother Liu doesn't love prostitution, but he is willing to spend so much money, obviously he has a big plan!" ”

This silver was still quite strong in the purchase of the late Ming Dynasty, according to one stone of rice and one tael of silver, one person eats three stone of rice every year, these twenty taels of silver are enough for one person to eat for seven years. Sending people to the countryside to hire people before was only half a penny, which shows that Liu Xu's investment is high at this time.

It's just that high returns are mostly accompanied by high risks, and although the two teenagers don't know this investment principle, they also subconsciously feel that what they are doing is definitely not a simple thing to sing and sing in the West Chamber.

Zhou Hui was a little less decisive than his younger brother, and he hesitated a little: "It is said that the son is so elevated, my brothers and sisters should follow the work of dogs and horses, but what can give so much reward?" ”

Zhou Jun pulled his brother and said loudly: "You and I sing in the restaurant, when will we be able to earn enough money to treat my mother?" Filial piety comes first, as long as we can make our mother heal, our brothers will not hesitate even if they go to the soup and fire. And a few of them are well-educated and talented, can they still let us do the deeds of killing officials and rebelling? ”

Liu Xu glanced at Zhou Jun appreciatively, this young man was a little more decisive and decisive than his brother, and he was pure and filial by nature, so he could be cultivated as a confidant. What's even more rare is that Zhou Jun's words are not leaky, and he also leaves room for himself, which is "doing something and not doing something".

Liu Xu said at the moment: "Don't worry, I won't let the two of you do anything to rob the family and destroy the clan, but once it happens, I will definitely benefit a lot, if the two of you are willing to follow me, don't worry about being rich and noble in the future, even if it is to revive the family business, it is easy to comfort the ancestors!" ”

"In that case, please ask my son to instruct, my brothers will do their best!"

Liu Xu showed a mysterious smile on his face, and asked the servant to take out a big silver ingot of ten taels: "The mountain people have their own clever plans, don't talk about it now, you first take the money to settle the old mother, it would be better if you could gather a few more young people who can speak and sing!" ”
