Chapter 458: The curtain has come to an end
At the invitation of Liu Ruyi, on the afternoon of the second day, Liu Fan took some guards to board the painting boat where Liu Rushi was on the bank of the Qinhuai River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Originally, Xu Wenjue also wanted to go and join in the fun, but how could Liu Fan share this kind of thing with others, so Liu Fan did not hesitate to reject the idea of Xu Wenjue's peers.
"General Liu! You're keeping your sister waiting! It's almost dark before you show up, and we thought you were going to miss your appointment! As soon as they met, Liu Ru complained to Liu Fan with infinite resentment
Liu Fan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he saw this, and hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry Liu, everyone, because there are some mundane things that need to be dealt with, so I'm late, and I hope you girl Haihan." ”
Seeing Liu Fan apologize, Liu Ru is faces were a little pale, and he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it!" Knowing that you are a busy person, we are very happy to have you here! General Liu, please! ”
After entering the painting boat, Liu Fan found that there seemed to be only five beauties such as Liu Ruyi in this painting boat, which was different from the more than ten warblers and Yanyan that Liu Fan saw yesterday, Liu Fan couldn't help but wonder, "Liu, why don't you see other girls?" ”
Liu Ru covered her mouth and said, "In front of General Liu, you don't dare to call the word 'everyone', General Liu still directly calls the slave family like this!" As for the other sisters, if they weren't invited, why, are you not satisfied with the five of us? ”
Liu Fan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no." I'm just a little confused. ”
Liu Ru glanced at Liu Fan with all kinds of amorous eyes, and said softly, "Since General Liu is here, then we can also start." I don't know what tunes General Liu likes to listen to? Or do you want to see which sister's dance? ”
Liu Fan touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "It would be great if all the girls could dance together!" ”
"Uh" Liu Ru shook his head with a smile, and said helplessly, "General Liu is really greedy!" Well, let's discuss it with your sisters! Liu Fan's request was not too much, Liu Ru agreed to Liu Fan's request after a little discussion.
Liu Ru stroked the piano with his hands, Li Xiangjun sang tactfully, Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing, and Kou Baimen danced. With the melodious sound of the piano, the three girls danced, turned their waists and raised their sleeves, their posture was graceful and graceful, and the long sleeves were fragrant, like treading water in the wind, indescribably beautiful and moving. In the sweet and glutinous singing, Liu Fan sat alone in the painting boat and enjoyed this rare beauty.
Looking at the five beauties in front of him, Liu Fan couldn't help but feel a trace of pride and pride in his heart. Being able to see with his own eyes the five people in Qin Huai Bayan dancing together is every man's biggest dream! If in five or six years, seeing Liu Fan so "extravagant", then the literati in Jiangnan will not be mad?
Although except for Liu Ruis, the others are still twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, but they are now a few beauties that I still pity, and I can faintly see the peerless beauty and beauty of the world in a few years. Now they have just stepped into the red dust, and they have not yet experienced the devastation of this cruel and chaotic world, and they are still a few pure little white flowers.
Originally, Liu Fan's so-called "Qin Huai Bayan" was not very cold, on the one hand, because these girls were still too young and were just a group of teenage girls, and on the other hand, Liu Fan felt that they were just tools for those literati who defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to praise these Qinglou women in order to cover up their "ugly deeds" and whitewash themselves or win sympathy. "Qin Huai Bayan" has a good reputation and character, but just their inclination to Donglin is unacceptable to Liu Fan.
But Liu Fan has gradually changed his mind now. Out of yesterday's doubts, Liu Fan specially ordered Li Xiu to investigate the situation of Dong Xiaowan's daughters, but he was a little surprised when he got the news. Dong Xiaowan's family was originally in Suzhou, but because she had to earn money to buy medicine for her seriously ill mother, she had to voluntarily sell herself to Qinhuai River. Li Xiangjun is a servant who has been cultivated by his stepmother since he was a child, and he is also a person who can't help himself. Kou Baimen is indeed a generational courtesan, but she herself is innocent and lovely, and she has not been polluted by the wind and dust at all. Bian Yujing is a native of Nanjing, and his background is very good. His father was an official, but unfortunately died early, and the family was ruined. Bian Sai had no choice but to take his sister Bian Min to the Qinhuai River to sell color art for a living.
Most of these girls are victims of this cruel world, but even if they are in prison, they do not follow the crowd, they still maintain a pure heart, and retain the last truth, goodness and beauty. Compared with those literati who can only shout slogans and blow the atmosphere, although a few people are lowly status Qinglou women, they are better than them.
Looking at the few young girls dancing in the field, Liu Fan's heart suddenly swelled with extremely complicated feelings. Appreciation, pity, pity? Or what, Liu Fan himself is not very clear. But there is one thing Liu Fan knows, he now admires these women very much, admires their elegance out of the mud without staining, admires their moth-like pursuit and yearning for freedom and a better life, and admires their indomitable spirit in desperate situations. Liu Fan suddenly felt that he had to do something, with his ability, he might be able to save the miserable "fate" of these girls, at least he couldn't let them be implicated in those "scumbags" of the Donglin Party.
Yes, it is the scumbags, if Liu Fan does not intervene, in a few years, Liu Ru will marry Qian Qianyi as a concubine, Li Xiangjun will marry Hou Fangyu as a concubine, Dong Xiaowan will marry Mao Bijiang as a concubine, Kou Baimen will marry Zhu Guobi as a concubine, Bian Yujing is the worst, originally she wanted to entrust herself to Wu Weiye, but Wu Weiye did not dare to accept it, Bian Yujing could only become a monk and become a Taoist aunt. In less than five or six years, except for Liu Ruyi, these women will die in disgrace.
And the bones of these so-called talents are softer than one another, and the Manchus surrendered one after another, and the most important thing is that the Tartars also look down on them. And these shameless people went to the pole to slap others, and finally ended up ruined and miserable, which can be regarded as self-inflicted. In Liu Fan's view, these people are not even as good as the big traitor "Wang Jingwei" in later generations, and Wang Jingwei still shouted a slogan of "curve to save the country" to make an archway. And these people don't even want the last fig leaf, and they completely reveal their shameless nature.
This kind of result is obviously something Liu Fan doesn't want to see, even if he likes it, he can't be an "enemy"! So Liu Fan felt that he had to intervene, at least he couldn't let these "delicious delicacies" fall into the mouths of this group of scum.
