In the prosperous places of this dynasty, there must be an industry of helping. What is Help? To put it bluntly, it is to attract guests to the Qinglou Library. You have to have a need, and the helper who is familiar with the door will naturally lead you to find the right girl, whether it is elegant meat or a special hobby, always try to satisfy you. And help talk, laugh, set off the atmosphere, and earn some money for wine and dinner.

Li You happened to know such a helper, named Sun Ji, Li You's neighbor when he was a child, seven or eight years older than Li You, and he begged for a living in the county town if he couldn't study.

It was already lunchtime, Li You didn't care about eating, and went directly to Sun Ji's house in the south of the city, but the door was not opened, only to hear a lady inside ask delicately: "Which official is outside?" ”

This is about the lady of Sun Ji's family, Li You replied loudly: "I am Brother Sun's friend Li You, have your officials mentioned me to you?" Today, I have asked him to discuss some things. ”

It said: "It turned out to be Li Zhukuai, who had always heard my father-in-law mention it." My father-in-law had an order before going out, saying that he was going to Yao Xing'er. ”

Yao Xing'er is a famous person in the city, and the legend is that he dabbles in chess and piano, can recite poems and books, and can sing and communicate with many literati, and is often called to help at various official banquets, which is really a scene character. Li You had only heard of such a person, but he didn't know where it was, and asked, "Do you know where Yao Xing'er's house is!" ”

This question annoyed the Sun Niangzi inside, "Li Guanren doesn't know anything!" But use these questions to tease the slaves, go away quickly, and don't say anything more. ”

It's not interesting to please the big one, Li You left stupidly, and it seems a bit inappropriate to ask a woman from a good family where a certain museum is... When others know, they should say that Li You, a pervert, is molesting women from good families.

Most of the families in this county are concentrated in the two streets and alleys in the northwest of the county, Li You went to this neighborhood to inquire and found Yao Xing'er's house. The façade decoration is quite spacious, and I heard someone playing the piano at the door, and there was a half-grown girl sitting in the courtyard.

Li You asked a few words, and the girl went into the house to report, and after a while, Sun and Sun Gang, who were dressed as scribes, came out and said with a smile: "Didn't Brother Li be beaten twice by the county official and strictly ordered to investigate the case, how can you have time to come to my brother." ”

"But I have something serious to ask my brother for!"

Sun Ji laughed: "What does my brother do, don't you know?" I'm not going to have anything serious going on here. ”

Li You looked at no one on the left and right, and told Master Huang's explanation, that is, he omitted the identity of Wang Langzhong, and only said that Master Huang wanted to entertain distinguished guests.

Sun Ji pondered for a while and said, "I know a few here, Sister Li Mei, Yuan Bao'er, and Guan Xiaotao are all good at this." ”

Li You pondered the meaning of the master and said: "Just look for the most Yinlang who is the most proficient at teasing, don't want those who are not cool and unpleasant." ”

"Then Sister Li Mei, I can't understand it, seeing is believing, I'll take you to meet you now, it's easy to say if you agree."

Sister Li Mei's house is not far from here, and there is a Yuansheng Bridge along the river, and her home is near the bridge. Seeing a pair of red lanterns hanging at the door, Sun Ji turned back to Li You and said, "It's so good, it seems that there are no guests." After that, he was very familiar with the way and directly pushed the door into the yard, shouting: "Sister Mei! Came out to meet the guests. ”

On both sides of the bead curtain, a bewitching little woman flashed out, more than 20 years old, tall, plump skin, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes seductive. The body was covered with a wide-sleeved red satin jacket, but the placket was not tied, half-covering and half-revealing the bandeau inside, and the two bulging protrusions on the chest trembled and pierced people's hearts.

The little woman came with the aroma of fat powder, her jade-like fingers pinched a small fan and poked Sun Ji, and said with a silver bell-like smile in her mouth: "Prime Minister Sun, I haven't been here in the slave family for a long time, but I can't sleep at night because I think of the slave family!" ”

Li You's eyes were a little straight, this woman really dared to wear it. This year is not the Tang Dynasty that dares to show half of his chest to others, since he crossed, although there are many types of women's clothes styles, but whether it is a collar or a placket, the neckline is very tight, and some are even stand-up collars, where have I seen the way to wear a bandeau that dares to show a bandeau. Just this exposure, ten thousand styles came out.

Sun Ji laughed a few words, introduced Li You to Sister Li Mei and said: "This is your own family, Li Guanren who is a fast catcher in the Yamen. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a little brother of tolerance, so he wouldn't be here to arrest the slaves." Sister Li Mei teased with a flattering look: "The slave family is weak and can't withstand the ravages, so the officials should have good pity." ”

Li You smiled and reached out to catch Sister Li Mei, "Then sister will go with me." ”

Sister Li Mei turned around lightly and said, "The slave family is too lazy with the guests, let's go into the house and talk." By the way, it was natural to avoid Li You's claws.

Sun Ji glanced at Li You and asked what he meant, and Li You nodded.

The three of them sat down in the front hall, and a rather beautiful fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came up to bring tea and water, and put some fruit and food. Sun Ji looked at the girl and said, "Xiaohuan'er is getting more and more smart. He also said to Li You: "This is Li Huan, and Sister Mei is a sister-in-law." ”

Sister Li Mei said to Sun Ji with a rare face: "The slave sisters have fallen into lowly status, and seeing that Xiaohuan'er has also reached the age of leaving the cabinet, I hope that Sun Xianggong will take care of him and introduce some good guests." "Nowadays, the first time a woman picks up a guest is also called out of the pavilion, sometimes it will be the same as marrying a girl, of course, this scoop is also very expensive.

"That's that, that's." Sun Ji nodded.

Li You took out the small ingots that Master Huang gave him, put it on the table, and said to Sister Li Mei: "Sister, don't pick up other guests these days, a distinguished guest wants to come to you, this is a deposit." ”

Sister Li Mei grabbed the silver and said again: "Isn't the guest a little brother?" The slave family died of disappointment. ”

Sun Ji also helped with his true colors, and joked on the side: "Doesn't Little Brother Li check Sister Mei's goods first?" Let's go back and report it truthfully. ”

The ghost knows what kind of mentality Wang Langzhong has, Li You thought, be careful, don't mess with this person first. After discussing with the two of them, he decided on all matters and got up to leave.

After going back to report, Master Huang praised Li You's efficiency, and immediately rushed to the mansion to meet Wang Langzhong, and agreed to have a banquet for Wang Langzhong at Sister Li Mei's house tomorrow night, that is, on the evening of the twentieth.

The next day, there was nothing to do, and at dusk, Master Huang transferred a sedan chair from the yamen and took Li You to the mansion to pick up Wang Langzhong. Wang Langzhong is about forty years old, with a yellow face and few beards, and he gets on the sedan chair politely. Carried to Sister Li Mei's house, Master Huang sent the sedan chair man back, leaving Li You on standby.

That Wang Langzhong saw Sister Li Mei, and his body was half crisp first, and his old face was wrinkled and smiling. Master Huang and Li You glanced at each other, and it seemed that Wang Langzhong liked it very much.

A good table was set up from the outside restaurant, and a table was set up in the inner room of Sister Li Mei's house, with all kinds of meat, vegetarian, fruits and vegetables, and they were all very fine. lit two big red candles, Wang Langzhong and Sister Li Mei ate wine and laughed there, Sister Li Mei took out a lot of skills, sometimes coquettish and brutal, sometimes bank **, Wang Langzhong provoked the immortal to death, Master Huang played the role of helper, sat next to him and said some interesting meat words, this profligate atmosphere is very joyful.

Li You was sent to wait in the outer hall, and Sister Li Mei was afraid that he would be bored and resentful, so she also put a few kinds of wine and food, and called out her sister Li Huan to accompany Li You. Li Huan didn't know what to do, and he didn't have a guest to accompany him, so he just pretended to be deaf and dumb there.

Li You didn't care about it at first, he only paid attention to the people in the inner room, but he was young and impatient, and he became bored after a while. Looking at the shadows inside, it was very lively, and his side was deserted, and he couldn't hold back, so he deliberately didn't have anything to say to provoke Li Huan, and asked Fang Ling about his hometown and hobbies.

But Li Huan glanced at Li You in disgust, sat on the side from a distance, and still didn't say a word. It turns out that although this Li Huan was born as a prostitute, he has not suffered much since he was a child under the protection of his sister, and he still has a girl's surname. I can read some books and know some words, and I admire the literati the most, and I love to see the talented and beautiful people the most. often boasts that he is out of the mud and is not stained, dreaming of coming and going with well-dressed children, but he is really unwilling to deal with a vulgar character like Li You, who is talentless and powerless, and feels that this is defiling himself.

Seeing the other party's attitude of treating himself as shit, Li You was furious. Since he crossed over, he has always had a depression in his heart, because his identity that is often despised makes him, a person with some modern superiority, very embarrassed. For example, he was originally a high-achieving student at a prestigious university, but suddenly crossed into a chengguan who everyone shouted and beat in reality and everyone on the Internet shouted and killed, can he not be depressed mentally?

Usually, Li You can only endure helplessly, but at this time, this qi was stimulated by Li Huan. It's just a matter of being beaten by the magistrate and being treated as a dog's leg by the master, who makes the family a Shangguan, but you little bitch dare to give a face for no reason? Not to mention that I haven't done anything excessive, and I haven't offended you.

Li You wanted to have a seizure, but he was afraid of disturbing the good atmosphere in the inner room and causing some trouble. That Master Huang is a close confidant of the county master, which makes him unhappy, and he will inevitably be in trouble in the future. I had to hold a grudge, swallow my anger, pour myself a drink, and pour one cup after another of the stuffy wine.

Li Huan didn't care, he flipped through the book and looked at himself according to the oil lamp, if he wasn't afraid that his sister would come out to blame, he would have returned to his boudoir to write a few words and go to sleep.

Li You was in a hurry to eat this wine, and more than ten glasses of wine came to his head, and he saw the words "Shuyu Ci" on the cover of the scroll in Li Huan's hand, which turned out to be a collection of words by Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty, and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Li Yi'an is also from a family of poets, although he has been married several times, he has never been a bitch, Miss Guifu, you can really be vassal." ”

Li Huan's face was suddenly flushed with anger by this sentence, and a pair of apricot eyes could breathe fire angrily, eager to tear Li You apart, gritted his teeth and said: "You scoundrel Bai Ding knows what poetry, you really don't deserve to talk about this." With that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Li You drunkenly pulled Li Huan's jacket and said: "Li Qingzhao is at this level, I can write two songs casually!" ”

Li Huan became more and more disgusted with Li You, he was simply a shameless person who didn't know the height of the sky.

When I don't know how to plagiarize poetry, it's just that I've been in the market all day since I crossed over, and there is no suitable occasion to plagiarize. When Pavarotti went to the countryside to sing, he was afraid that he would only be treated as a ghost and cry wolf. Thinking of this, Li You couldn't help but take out the trump card that he had prepared for a long time, and he didn't care if the occasion was right or not, it was a trip to ancient times not to copy a few songs.

So Li You shook his head with the strength of the wine and said: "Picking mulberries, cough, who turned the desolate song of Yuefu?" The wind is also sluggish, the rain is also sluggish, and the lights are thin and the lights are scattered for another night. I don't know what's lingering, I'm bored when I wake up, I'm bored when I'm drunk, and I haven't been to Xie Qiao in my dreams. How is this better than Li Qingzhao? ”

Good words! Like lightning struck into Li Huan's heart, he was stunned on the spot, not knowing what he was thinking. But it is certain that this scoundrel copied someone else's, I don't know who wrote this word, and it is so charmingly written.

After Li You plagiarized this mulberry picking, he shocked his opponent and was a little proud. Out of the corner of his eye, he found someone at the door, but when he looked over, he saw Master Huang and Wang Langzhong looking at him with strange expressions, as if he had seen some monster, or he saw a fresh and tender flower growing on cow dung.

It turned out that just now, Master Huang saw the love between Wang Langzhong and Sister Li Mei, so he said goodbye very interestingly. Wang Langzhong sent him to the door, and the two of them heard the song of picking mulberries in Li You's mouth, not to mention the quality of the words, but when it came out of Li You's mouth, it made people feel very strange.

They are not like Li Huan who are amateurs, one of them is a jinshi and the other is a lifter, and there are real materials on the poems and articles, but they have never heard of this poem. Although I think it's incredible, I really can't think of where Li You can copy it from? Could it really be that he wrote it himself?

There is also Sister Li Mei standing behind, who doesn't know a few big characters, and doesn't understand poetry, but the sentence "I'm bored when I'm awake, I'm bored when I'm drunk" I understand, and I feel that it is a portrayal of my life, and it's a little sour for a while.

The cold sweat on Li You's head flowed, he was a little flustered for some reason, he woke up for seven minutes from alcohol, and trotted to Master Huang and asked, "Does the old gentleman want to leave?" The little one will send you back. ”

On the way, Master Huang knocked on the side and asked a few words, but he gave up if he didn't ask anything.

Since then, Wang Langzhong has lingered here for many days in a row, spending more than a dozen taels of silver before and after, and every time this silver money is sent by Li You.

Having said that, the mulberry picking song plagiarized by Li You is the work of Nalan surnamed De in another time and space, but Li You checked it after crossing over, and did not find such a word. Around this time and space, the Qing court did not occupy the Central Plains, and Nalan surnamed De did not have the opportunity to receive a Sinicization education, let alone write words to become famous.

All in all, no one can find evidence of Li You's plagiarism. In this hierarchical society, Li You once again regretted his identity, and he was a little blind to these good poems when he read them out of his mouth.

Li You's plagiarized song "Picking Mulberries" slowly spread, and it took more than ten days to sing it at home. Then it slowly spread to the recitation of literati -- looking at the transmission channel from the memorization of women to scholars, we can know what virtues many scholars have.

Li You saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, I am going to be famous, and everyone will know that I am not an ordinary servant by then! It's just that it's too slow, and I don't know how others plagiarized the poems and caused a sensation in the city overnight. At this rate, when will we be able to break out of Suzhou and go to the whole country?

But I didn't know that this copy brought a lot of troubles.
