Chapter 108: Favored by the Oiran
Gu Muqing suddenly understood in his heart why Du Mu wrote when he traveled to Qinhuai at night, "The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, and Qinhuai is close to the restaurant at night, and the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings ** flowers across the river." "It's a poem of nostalgia.
She pointed to the singer sitting on the bow of the boat, and asked Zun Mojun, today's atmosphere is extremely relaxed, Gu Muqing also joked about Zun Mojun from time to time, and a subtle smile flashed on the corner of his mouth.
"Husband, to be honest, do you like this or do you like the woman who danced like that just now?"
Zun Mo Jun said to Gu Muqing righteously, "Madam, don't ask this king such boring questions again, this king only has you in his heart." ”
Gu Muqing shrugged his shoulders, only feeling that Zun Mojun was uninteresting and funny.
She liked the voice of this singer very much, this kind of tactful voice sang this antique poetry that she could not feel in many concerts in modern times, she stood up excitedly and waved to the singer she was wearing.
"It's a good song! It's so good to sing! As she spoke, she snatched the rose from the hand of the guard beside her and threw it at the singer in the river.
The singer was also attracted by Gu Muqing's movements, and the boat slid in the direction of her table.
The singer nodded slightly, smiled, and instantly became charming.
Gu Muqing patted his chest, thanks to the fact that he was a woman, if he was really a man tonight, he would be fascinated by this singer, and he would be willing to sacrifice everything for her. Just to make her smile.
……
Xiwen sat in the exquisitely dressed boudoir and quietly wept.
She listened to the singing and dancing downstairs and knew that she was about to appear.
Thinking of everything that happened this morning, I was performing and singing, and I was harshly treated by my mother in the cabinet with little money left, and I saved silently for several years, and finally redeemed myself before a hundred days, but I didn't expect that the miscellaneous servants in the pavilion never stopped following me in these hundred days, and this morning when she was buying buns in the morning market, she was taken away with a sack, and then opened her eyes and was locked here.
Boom! Glass shards fell to the ground, and the wreckage was all over the floor, and the vase that had been placed on the table was also empty. The mother in the pavilion heard the sound and used the key to open the iron lock locked outside Xiwen's boudoir.
"What's going on again?" Mom looked at the wreckage on the ground and stepped forward to slap Xiwen.
"Do you know how many silver taels this set of porcelain pots costs, you cheap girl who doesn't know what to do, what's wrong with letting you be the top card when I come back? Every day, there are dignitaries and nobles, and all the sons of the people are holding silver and two good things to slap you. ”
Xiwen silently wept and didn't say a word.
"You've been living happily outside for a hundred days, and I've given you freedom, what's so good outside? You come back and obediently give me the first card, find a good prince to follow, and when the time comes, you give me the idea of redemption money, and my mother will give you as a dowry, don't say that I am not good to you. The mother in the pavilion nodded Xiwen's shoulder and said word by word.
Ningxin Pavilion is overcrowded as usual, the air is mixed with the smell of desire, the top woman of Ningxin Pavilion has already spread all over the world, and there is an endless stream of visitors from all sides, everyone is looking forward to today's arrival.
Gu Muqing was on the table downstairs, drinking a small glass of wine, completely unaware that he was in such a different situation from the graceful woman upstairs.
Xiwen wiped away the tears on her face, walked to the brass mirror in the room, picked up the rouge in her hand, and carefully repaired the makeup that had been wiped away by the tears just now.
She thought about what her mother said to herself just now, and she escaped once before she realized that she was just a tool used by Ning Xiang Pavilion to make money, as long as she was still a single Oiran for a day, her life would not be peaceful for a day.
The people who come here today are here to see their faces and to gain their favor.
It is better for her to find a good husband today, let him redeem herself, and she can be regarded as completely getting rid of this sad place that humiliates her.
"It's time to arrive, good luck, welcome Oiran!"
The dancers danced to the sound of the guzheng and pipa playing in unison, and a large number of petals drifted down from the towering beams of the hall out of nowhere.
Xiwen is wearing a white mopping long skirt, wearing a smock sewn by many embroidery girls outside, the inside is a light blue wrap chest, the cuffs are embroidered with very chic orchids, the chest placket is sewn with three-dimensional silk lace, there is a thin layer of gauze at the skirt, and there is a glittering red gem hanging around the neck, adding a noble temperament, a simple silver hairpin is inserted in the long black hair, and a delicate lotus flower is drawn with red cinnabar on the forehead, which looks fresh and beautiful and elegant.
Exuding the atmosphere of nobility that is different from other prostitutes, the beauty is incomprehensible, like a fairy coming down from the sky, elegant and temperamental.
All the men in the audience were stunned for a while, and some of the sons sitting by the river lost their minds and fell into the river.
Xiwen looked around the crowd in the room with cold eyes, lifted her skirt, turned around and sat on the chair in the center of the stage, picked up the pipa, and began to sing.
Gu Muqing looked at the woman in front of him with an extraordinary temperament and a light appearance, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, he was worthy of being a famous Oiran from all over the world here, and he did indeed have a beautiful appearance like a fairy.
Looking at her face and listening to her melodious singing, I couldn't help but forget all the noise and prosperity just now.
Xiwen sang a song, got up and walked to the side of the bridge, and all the sons in the audience threw the roses in their hands like Xiwen, and some of them also carried money and two silver tickets.
Xiwen looked at the bouquet of flowers in the sky, and the shouts of the men echoed in the room.
She was unmoved, and what caught her attention was the only guest sitting at the room with a nonchalant face.
The men she saw were all plotting against their beauty, but today, there was one person who was indifferent to him, which made Xiwen feel a little at a glance.
How could any man not be moved after seeing me for the first time? Her strong sense of victory and defeat prompted her to have a strong interest in Gu Muqing and Zun Mojun.
She picked up a pot of sake in her hand, staggered away the flower money ticket that stood in front of her, and walked straight to Gu Muqing's table.
Looking at Gu Muqing's elegant and textured gorgeous clothes, he thought that he must be the son of a rich family.
Xiwen seductively poured a glass of wine and handed it to Gu Muqing, "I don't know if the son can enjoy his face and have a drink with Xiwen?" ”
Gu Muqing smiled awkwardly, thinking, although you are so good-looking, this eldest sister, but I am also a girl, you have chosen the wrong person.
