One hundred and eighty bets
Seeing this scene, a fool can also see that this ship is definitely not Du Sanniang's.
"But the point is, why are they laughing?" Zhao Shuang muttered.
The laughing man persevered and chased after them and said: "I know why they are laughing, because even if you find Du Sanniang's boat, you can't get on, Du Sanniang's boat will be a problem, and only those who answer the question are qualified to go up to the tea party." They're laughing at you for not seeing. ”
"I'll take you to Du Sanniang's boat, but let's make a bet, if you can get on the boat, then forget it, if you can't get on the boat, hehe, even if you lose, you will pay for my tea." The sneering man smiled treacherously.
Zhao Shuang said: "Are you calling this a bet?" This is called unilateral blackmail. The bet should be, we lose, we pay you, we win, you pay us. ”
The trick was seen through, and the man stroked his sleeves and said with the arrogance of the literati: "Okay, just bet, you can't get on Du Sanniang's boat!" Come with me. ”
The man is dressed as a scholar, with a wide robe and large sleeves, and the river breeze blows, thinking that he is graceful, but in fact, his figure is poor, and no matter how good the clothes are, it is a waste of fabric.
The reason why the man concluded that Zhao Shuang and the others could not get on the boat was also judged from the clothing.
There were four men, two women, and none of them were dressed as scholars with wide robes and big sleeves.
Qiu Shuisheng, the head of the diligent and thrifty housekeeper, wore coarse cloth short clothes, Fu Ning, who ran the kitchen, wore clothes with tight cuffs to facilitate labor, and the two women's dresses were also mediocre, so they were not the daughters of rich families at first glance.
A woman's lack of talent is virtue, and ordinary people will not send a woman to study.
And prostitutes, especially famous prostitutes, are generally symbols of high education in ancient times, and they can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Du Sanniang, known as one of the three crowns of the Nuanjun River, is naturally elegant, and the guests on her flower boat must first answer her questions.
In order to save money for tonight's tea party, the white-clothed scholar decided to trick these outsiders with foreign accents.
While walking along the river, for the sake of playing tea for themselves, the white-clothed scholar gave a few people free science about the knowledge of the Nuanjun River: "The flower boat on the Nuanjun River generally begins to greet guests after sunset, and the ordinary flower boat, as long as you can afford the money for the tea wai, you can get on the boat, a little famous flower boat, if you want to go up, you have to pass the customs first, the general flower boat is a question, the guests answer the question correctly, you can pay the tea money on the boat." ”
The white-clothed scholar pointed to a flower boat in front of the guests and said: "This is Miss Lingxiang's flower boat, Miss Lingxiang is good at blending fragrances, and she is a famous prostitute in the Nuanjun River. ”
Zhao Shuang and the others looked at it, a flower boat in front of them was much more gorgeous than what they had seen before, moored on the shore, many men gathered on the shore, next to the ferryboard, a maid held a sachet for the guests to smell, and the person who could say the spices correctly could get on the boat.
Further back, a ship was also soliciting guests, and two women dressed in fancy clothes greeted with small pink handkerchiefs: "Guest officer, let's have a drink on the boat, the wine of the Drunken Immortal Building!" ”
The white-clothed scholar stroked his sleeves, pinched his nose and hurriedly dodged it, and said disdainfully: "Vulgar powder!" ”
Zhao Shuang thinks that it is not easy for these girls to beg for a life on the water, but then again, from ancient times to the present, who has begged for life easily?
