Chapter 306: A Pleasant Conversation
Qianniang is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, when she was young, she was also the top brand on the Qinhuai River, and later because of her age, she naturally could no longer do this leather and meat business, she took out her savings and bought a painting boat to become her own boss, more than ten years her business is getting bigger and bigger, and her vision is naturally becoming more and more vicious.
Mao Xiang and Fang Yizhi are known to Qianniang, these two people are quite famous in Jinling, and they are also frequent visitors on the Qinhuai River, although they are not rich and powerful people, but in the past, they were impassioned with a group of scholars, and they couldn't hide their arrogance, but now these two people are willing to stand next to a young man, and their expressions and eyebrows are completely respectful of this young man, which immediately attracted the attention of Qianniang. After Qianniang looked at the young man carefully, her heart immediately beat violently a few times.
This young man is of medium stature, and his face can only be regarded as having good facial features, but there is an indescribable smell on his body, this smell is very familiar to Qianniang, to put it bluntly, this smell is called official taste, and it is also the unique temperament of those who are used to holding the power of killing others, and unlike others, there is only a faint trace of official authority, this young man's official authority is particularly strong, especially when the young man looked at her just now, although he had a smile on his face, but there was a sense of non-refusal in this smile.
"This is a big shot!" With more than 20 years of experience in her debut, Qianniang came to a conclusion in less than a breath, with a kind and charming smile on her face, and shouted to the three of them: "Eh." Isn't this Mao Gongzi and Fang Gongzi? You two haven't been to our Qinghefang for a long time, and Miss Xiangjun still talks about you two from time to time? ”
Fang Yizhi, who often goes in and out of this kind of occasion, snorted and said, "Is this really the case?" Mother Qian, don't coax us, if Xiangjun remembers us like this, the brothers will not always refuse us to redeem her! ”
"This ......" The embarrassment on Qianniang's face only appeared for a moment, and soon disappeared without a trace, she waved her handkerchief and smiled: "Fang Gongzi said that she laughed, although Miss Xiangjun is the pillar of our Qinghe Fang, but if she really wants to be good, the concubine will not only not stop it, but will still give her a part of the silver as a congratulatory silver." But if it's those who just come with the heart of playing, let alone concubines. Even Miss Xiangjun is dismissive. ”
Yue Yang smiled. This's sleek wrist not only resolved the embarrassment just now, but also faintly pointed out some of the man's vices, but it still made people unable to attack. It is worthy of being an old bustard who is good at dancing. He laughed, "Okay." This mom. In the next long admiration of the name of Miss Xiangjun, today with Brother Mao and Brother Fang is to see the style of the famous Xiangjun girl of the Qinhuai River, mother must fulfill our wishes! ”
"Eh. This son is so good-looking, you are still the first time to come to our Qinghefang, you can rest assured, the concubine immediately called out Miss Xiangjun to accompany a few people to talk, and the custody of the son is satisfied! As she spoke, Qianniang led the three of them to the painting boat, and sat down in a very elegantly furnished room, where tea was soon served.
After the three of them sat down, Qianniang smiled and said: "The three sons, please take a moment, the concubine will immediately call Miss Xiangjun to talk with the three hands for a few games!" With that, he hurried out.
"Hand Talk...... What does that mean? Yue Yang was stunned and looked at Mao Xiang and Fang Yizhi.
Mao Xiang and the two looked at each other and smiled, they naturally knew that Yue Yang had never been to the Qinhuai River, and they didn't know the rules here. Mao Xiang explained: "Childe doesn't know, our Qinglou girl in Qinhuaihe is different from other places, when the guest meets the uncombed girl for the first time, the girl will not meet the guest directly, and the two sides have to talk through a curtain." Whether it's a poem or a game of chess, the girl will only meet you when she is satisfied, otherwise if she is not satisfied, she will not let you meet no matter how much money you give. ”
"Hey...... And this kind of thing? Yue Yang couldn't help but be curious.
To be honest, whether in modern society or in ancient times, Yue Yang has never set foot in this kind of Fengyue place. But Yue Yang, who grew up in the era of the information explosion, still knows a lot of things, in modern society, as long as you have money, it is too simple to solve physiological problems, as long as you go to the place and give money, you can immediately pick up a gun and get on the horse, and leave after ten minutes or half an hour. How can you have to have a curtain before meeting like this, talk about artistic accomplishment, and only after you are satisfied can you further develop, isn't this scientific?
Let's say that after the Qianniang went out, she hurriedly trotted all the way to the girl's room, pushed open the door and said eagerly to the two girls who were talking: "Miss Xiangjun, the guest is here, the guest is here, hurry up and go out to greet the guest!" ”
Miss Xiangjun, who was talking to Dong Xiaowan, couldn't help but be stunned, and asked curiously, "Mom, where are you a guest?" ”
Qianniang shook her head: "I don't know the guests at the head, I listen to the accent like Shanxi, but the two guests who accompanied him are familiar customers, they are Mao Xiang Gongzi and Fang Yizhi Gongzi." ”
"Yo, which guest can let Mao Gongzi and Fang Gongzi accompany him, it seems that he has a big face?" Dong Xiaowan on the side laughed when she heard this.
"Not really!" Qian Niang also echoed: "Although Mao Gongzi and Fang Gongzi are not from a big family, they can be regarded as well-known talents in Jinling in the past, and that guest can make these two people willing to accompany them, and it seems that they are also people with status." And I also saw the guest just now, although he was young, but he really had an extraordinary temperament, I glanced at him, and my heart was a little pounding, it was really extraordinary. ”
"Oh, if that's the case, then we're going to have to see it." Xiangjun smiled, but she didn't think much of Qianniang's words, in the past few years, she has ushered in the Qinhuai River, no one has seen it, and if you believe someone like Qianniang, you will be stupid.
"Okay, my little sister also wants to meet the "extraordinary" guest, let's go together! Dong Xiaowan on the side also laughed.
Yue Yang and the three of them sat for a while, and then they heard the sound of soft footsteps in front of them. Two people walked beside the curtain in front, and soon two figures appeared behind the curtain, and a soft voice like glutinous rice sounded: "It happened to be the visit of Xiaowan's sister, Xiangjun and Xiaowan's sister talked very happily, and they forgot to greet a few guests, but they made the guests smile, but they didn't know where the guests came from, what did they do in Jinling?" ”
As soon as this voice fell, Mao Xiang said with some dissatisfaction: "Miss Xiangjun, Miss Xiaowan." We're old acquaintances. Today, Mao and Brother Fang accompanied this son-in-law to visit you, but you put on such a raw shelf, isn't it big? ”
As soon as Mao Xiang's words fell, a soft laugh rang out. A voice said, "Impostor." You and Fang Gongzi are indeed very familiar with Xiaowan and Sister Xiangjun. But this father-in-law is here for the first time, and no one even knows the surname of our sister, how can you let us get acquainted with it? Naturally, according to the rules! ”
Listen to this glutinous accent with the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. As if constantly teasing the desire in his heart, Yue Yang only felt a comfortable mood, and he couldn't help laughing: "What is there to hide from this, in the next surname Yue, a single name is Yang, and it is the name of Shanxi Yingzhou Mansion!" Haven't you asked the names of the two girls yet? ”
As soon as Yue Yang's words fell, Fang Yizhi introduced Yue Yang: "Childe, the student will introduce you, the girl on the right is the top girl Li Xiangjun in Qinghe Fang today, and the girl on the left is the top girl Dong Xiaowan of Tianxiang Pavilion, these two are girls who are famous in Qinhuaihe, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see each other!" ”
Looking at Mao Xiang's anxious introduction, Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun behind the curtain glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise in their hearts, Fang Yizhi and Mao Xiang They have also met a few times, and they can talk to each other, they can be regarded as arrogant people, and now they are so nervous about a guest, which can be strange.
Thinking back to the name reported by the guest, Li Xiangjun repeated a few words in his mouth, and after repeating a few words, a pair of beautiful eyes couldn't help but burst into a strange look, and said in surprise: "This son, could it be that you are the loyal and brave Marquis Yue Marquis who is now famous at the border pass?" ”
Yue Yang was slightly startled, and smiled: "No, it's Yue Yang, and now he is a loyal and brave marquis, but he doesn't dare to claim to be a famous border pass, it's just a love from others." ”
As he spoke, the curtain was already drawn, and the two beauties immediately walked out of it. Yue Yang took a look, and a beautiful white and greasy face appeared in front of her, with a playful smile on the side of her small mouth, and the sunlight shone in her clear eyes, like two stars. The girl's pink face was wiped with a little rouge, and she looked red, bright and beautiful, and shy.
And Dong Xiaowan, who followed her closely, was of medium height, about 1.62 meters, with a melon seed face, clear and beautiful, and a pair of bright and clear big eyes were also looking at her, but seeing the smile, she was indescribably delicate and moving.
"What a pair of beautiful and elegant beauties!"
Yue Yang couldn't help but admire in her heart, through the introduction just now, she naturally knew the names of these two, and now after witnessing it with her own eyes, she understood why their legends were still circulating in later generations, not to mention anything else, just based on their appearance, even in later generations, they were first-class.
After hearing Yue Yang admit his identity in person, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan both showed a trace of respect in their eyes, Li Xiangjun took out a teacup from the teapot, poured a cup of fragrant tea, held it up with both hands and said to Yue Yang: "Although Xiangjun is in the dust, he has also heard of the prestige of Hou Ye, Hou Ye led the army to fight against Jiannu several times, and defended the people of the Ming Dynasty, Xiangjun toasted Hou Ye with tea instead of wine today!" ”
"And me!" Dong Xiaowan on the side also hurriedly poured a cup of tea, raised it high and looked at Yue Yang with a solemn face.
"Two girls have won the prize!" Yue Yang hurriedly raised the teacup and drank it all.
After putting down the teacup, he let out a long sigh, and Yue Yang smiled at this time: "Before I came, I guessed several times that what kind of girl she was, she could be so respected by the brother of Bijiang and Mi, I didn't expect that today's first sight is indeed worthy of the name, although Yue has not seen the talents of the two girls, but the so-called mutual birth is born from the heart, but looking at the appearance of the two girls, you know that the two girls must be good girls in the show!" ”
After Yue Yang finished speaking, he heard a grunt, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan stood up together, and the two of them bowed down to Yue Yang Yingying with solemn expressions, and said respectfully: "Xiaowan (Xiangjun) thank you for your praise, but the little woman is really ashamed!" ”
Not to mention the reactions of Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun, even Mao Xiang and Fang Yizhi on the side looked at Yue Yang with a look of surprise on their faces.
"No, it's just a compliment. You don't need to be so impressed, do you? Yue Yang was a little dumbfounded.
In fact, what Yue Yang didn't know was that in the feudal era, the phrase "IKEA" could not be praised casually, especially those dusty women.
The phrase "Yishu IKEA" comes from one of the most famous poems in the Book of Songs, the original sentence is "The peach is dying, scorching its flower, the son is returning, Yishu IKEA", which means that when the peach blossoms bloom in spring, it is the time when the woman gets married, and the peach blossoms are scorching. It is people's expectations and wishes for a happy marriage. If this sentence is praised by a man to an unmarried woman, it is almost the greatest compliment. In the era when women are not talented and virtuous, the most important thing for people to ask for a daughter-in-law is to be virtuous, and the role of this virtue is to be able to have a harmonious family and a harmonious husband and wife. And as a Qinglou woman's greatest wish is to marry into a good family. Be able to live the rest of your life in peace. That's why when Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun heard this. Then he was so moved that he stood up and saluted him.
Of course, the reason why the second daughter was so moved was also related to Yue Yang's identity, after all, a dignified lord praised them so much. There are few that are not moved. Otherwise, if you change the beggars on the street to praise them so much, I am afraid that in exchange for it will be white eyes and scolding.
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Yue Yang asked people to summon Qianniang, and glanced at Chen Dazhi, who was standing at the door, Chen Dazhi took out two ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to Qianniang, who was standing on the side, and asked, "This mother, can these silver be enough for today's expenses?" ”
Qian Niang took the silver and skillfully checked it, knowing that the two ingots of silver were forty taels, she smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyes, and said continuously: "Enough, enough!" ”
Ordinary guests get on the boat to talk with Li Xiangjun, drink tea, and listen to music are only twenty or thirty taels of silver, and this one is forty taels as soon as he makes a move, which is worthy of being a Hou Ye, and he is generous!
But don't think that if you give these forty taels of silver, everything will be fine, you can take advantage of it and even be able to carry a gun, these silver are just the cost of talking and chatting. Up to now, Li Xiangjun is still a clean person, if you want to bud for her, you have to be looked down on by others, and the silver you need to spend is not cheap, if you want to redeem her, the silver you need to spend is even more sea.
Qianniang, who took the silver, went out with a smile on her face, and closed the door for the people in the room intimately. Seeing Qianniang leaving, several people in the room also began to chat.
It stands to reason that people like Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan have been carefully cultivated by the old bustard since they were children, and even if they are not very proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are somewhat involved, but Yue Yang found that these two daughters took great care of themselves when talking to them, and rarely talked about things such as wind and snow, but instead led the topic to national affairs and the pattern of the court.
At first, Yue Yang was a little puzzled, thinking that these two chicks were born to care about these things, but then he understood that they were afraid that saying these things would embarrass him, and they were taking care of themselves.
"Hey...... Dude, in your eyes, is he an illiterate person who can only shout and kill? Although my brother is a military general, he is also a graduate of a second-rate university, okay! "Our Comrade Yue Yang was unhappy and at the same time had to be moved by the thoughtfulness of these two girls.
After a while, the door opened, and several maids brought a few dishes and a pot of scalded old wine.
In Huaxia, how can you not drink when chatting and talking, a few people began to drink, after drinking a few glasses of wine, Dong Xiaowan's little face became a little red and fluttering, and for a while she put the thought of taking care of Yueyang's low cultural level behind her, I saw her smile and said to Yueyang: "Gongzi Yue, the little woman follows the wind and dust, but I have also heard of the name of Gongzi on the Qinhuai River, Gongzi is to cross the border and kill the enemy to serve the country, I don't know if there is a good sentence, if there is, I hope Gongzi will not hesitate to teach!" ”
"Eh, just praised you twice, and you were completely revealed, is this the rhythm of the exam?" Yue Yang couldn't help but laugh a little.
And Mao Xiang and Fang Yizhi on the side were also a little anxious when they saw this situation, they defected to Yueyang for some days, and they had never heard Yueyang say any poetry and songs on weekdays, so they naturally thought that Yueyang was not very good at this way. Now Dong Xiaowan suddenly proposed to ask Yueyang for poetry, isn't this forcing Zhang Fei to embroider?
was in a hurry, and was about to interject, but saw Yue Yang wave his hand: "Miss Xiaowan asked me, I can't hide it, poetry and poetry are not what Yue Yang is good at, there is only one thing that he is good at, that is, dancing with guns and sticks." And I don't bother to learn these things, of course, I don't look down on poetry and songs, after all, these things are still very useful for cultivating sentiment, but today's Ming Dynasty is most lacking people who can write poetry and songs, but what is most lacking is those who are willing to bend down to benefit the people, and are willing to work hard for the safety of the court and the warriors who are willing to build slaves. ”
After Yueyang's words were finished, he saw that Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun had changed a little about themselves, only to see Li Xiangjun solemnly pick up a glass of wine and say crisply: "Childe's words are like a slap in the face, on weekdays, Xiangjun and the sisters come here to talk with the scholars always use poetry to express their intentions, but today after hearing what Childe said, I realized how ridiculous the past actions were." As the saying goes, no matter how good it is, it is better to do it well, Xiangjun apologized to Gongzi for his ignorance in the past! ”
After speaking, Li Xiangjun drank the glass of wine...... (To be continued......)
