Chapter 531: It Turned Out to Be Old Acquaintances
Li Hanyao's mind turned, and she somewhat understood: Mei Zihan must be Huo Huangying's old acquaintance - an old acquaintance in the Qinglou.
Most of the literati love to sing the wind and make the moon, when holding a poetry wine tea party, they often like to recruit some excellent singers to play and sing to help the fun, Huo Huangying used to be the red card of the Qinglou, a famous talented woman, and a Qing official, the most favored by them, presumably at that time I got acquainted with Mei Zihan. It is rare for Huo Huangying to be shy, it seems that this Mei Zihan has special affection for her, otherwise she would not have said something she is sure of; Or, she knows Mei Zihan's preferences and is sure to give Mei Zihan the conditions that will tempt her.
Now is not the time to ask this.
Li Hanyao threw an encouraging smile to Huo Huangying, turned her head and followed Liu Jiaping in, Liu Shiyu was still waiting to visit the church, and she couldn't delay.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a few new faces. It turned out that the literati students mentioned by Liu Jiaping also heard the commotion outside, and also came out to see what was going on, and they ran into Liu Jiaping leading Li Hanyao and his party in, and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
When Liu Jiaping said their names just now, Li Hanyao felt that she didn't know any of them, but at this time, she found a familiar face among them.
She was just about to greet the other party, but several people on the other side had already spoken first, not to greet her, but to greet Luo Wuchen and Huo Huangying behind her:
"Hello Fire Maiden."
"Brother Zi'an!"
"Brother Luo is also here? Didn't you say you went to Huizhou? β
Luo Wuchen and Huo Huang hurriedly returned:
"Mei Gongzi."
"Brother Bai, Brother Lu, Brother Qiu Xian, Brother Mei. I went to Huizhou in Xiayuan, and I just came here, and I just arrived today. β
Duan Cunrui, Zhao Chaozong and others also came over.
Li Hanyao saw that what they said was lively, and it was not easy to interject, so she waited for them to greet each other before introducing them, and was not in a hurry to come forward to show herself.
However, she didn't show it, Luo Wuchen and Huo Huangying didn't forget her, and after greeting each other, they pulled her over and introduced her one by one, and said: "This is Brother Bai, a single name with an ink character, and the word Wenyuan." This is Brother Lu......"
Li Hanyao smiled at a young man in his twenties: "It turns out that you are Mr. Bai Mobai." When I first heard this name, who else should I be, it was an old acquaintance. β
Luo Wuchen was surprised: "You know? β
Huo Huang Ying smiled coquettishly: "Girl, don't call him Mr. Bai, he feels uncomfortable when he hears it." Just call him a prodigal, he likes it very much. β
Bai Mo smiled and said, "Good prodigal son." Or the fire girl knows it, and it can be seen that the beautiful woman always thinks about me and knows my preferences. β
Huo Huangying opened his mouth to refute, but when he looked at him and laughed again, his beautiful eyes sparkled, as if he was too lazy to care, and gave him a blank look.
Bai Mo turned to Li Hanyao again, his expression was grinning, very casual, but the questions he asked were very sharp, he said: "Miss Li listens to the name 'Bai Mo', do you think that he is as beautiful as Luo Zi'an?" Who knew it was me. Disappointed? Think it's not up to its name? β
Everyone calmed down and looked at Li Hanyao to see how she responded. This is the time to test a person's ability to cope: if he copes well, this Bai Mo may be able to be impressed by her demeanor and bearing, so as to take refuge in her; If you don't say it well, you can't convince the other party that it's a small matter, and it's a joke to offend people.
It turns out that although this white ink is young, his poems and calligraphy and paintings are very famous, he looks handsome and elegant, and his clothes are very elegant, but he acts uninhibitedly, behaves vulgarly, has no image of a scholar, and loves to write "Wen Langzi" on poetry and painting, so everyone gave him this number, and his real name is not obvious.
Li Hanyao met him by chance, gambled on a game of chess, and won a painting for him, but he didn't know that his name was Bai Mo, and he only called him "Wen Prodigal".
Bai Mo lost the painting and refused to follow, so he had to rely on Li Hanyao to invite him to dinner. Li Hanyao liked his rashness, so he invited him to the restaurant and arranged a sumptuous wine and food. At the dinner table, he grabbed the bones with his hands and gnawed, talked with rice in his mouth, drank tea and drank wine in one go, pinched the toothpick and picked his teeth after eating, very leisurely.
Li Hanyao did not deliberately please him, but mercilessly and disgustingly accused him of having no image, blaming him for spraying rice into his bowl, saying this, but his behavior did not mean a little disgust, tirelessly discussing poetry, calligraphy and painting with him, praising him greatly when he heard the highlights, and then invited dinner.
Therefore, in this section, Bai Mo has this question.
Li Hanyao said: "It's a bit of an accident. β
Bai Mo smiled and asked, "What's the accident?" β
He was going to ask the question.
Li Hanyao said: "There is a cattle and horse dealer by my side, named Hu Qingfeng......"
Bai Mo hurriedly said: "I've heard of him. β
Li Hanyao smiled and said: "Hu Qingfeng is engaged in selling cattle and horses in the market, but his words and deeds, demeanor and demeanor are fresh and refined, and similar scholars are not as elegant as him. And thou prodigal son, handsome in appearance and noble in temperament, with fresh poems, essays and paintings, and a pastoral style, but uninhibited in his manners, is even more vulgar than the real cattle and horse dealers. Hu Qingfeng has done the mundane things to the extreme, but he has a taste of elegance; You are doing elegant things to the extreme, and it looks vulgar and unbearable. You two are acting in opposite directions, but they are both wonderful. β
Bai Mo first opened his eyes wide, and only after listening to it did he laugh, stomped his feet and said, "Okay!" Good! Good! is worthy of Li Hanyao, worthy of his name! And he said, "I would like to meet the cattle dealer when I have a chance, and see how fresh and refined he is." β
He said three "good" words in a row, and stomped his feet and clapped his hands to express his appreciation for Li Hanyao, and his elegant image collapsed instantly.
Luo Wuchen and others all smiled happily.
If Li Hanyao praises Bai Mo, saying that he is "informal" and "a real celebrity and self-style", although he confesses, he has no new ideas, and there is a suspicion of flattery, Bai Mo may not like it when he hears it; But Li Hanyao compared him with Hu Qingfeng, saying that one of them has done the ultimate in elegant things and the other has done the ultimate in mundane things, both of which are wonderful, whether they are praise or disparagement, they are left to everyone to understand, which is very meaningful.
This contrast is not only stark and incisive, but also implies the meaning of solicitation: as we all know, although Hu Qingfeng is a cattle dealer, he is reused by Li Hanyao, a cattle dealer is still like this, if Bai Mo goes, can he still be left out in the cold?
Of course, there are also people who don't think so: in addition to Hu Qingfeng, Li Hanyao's subordinates also have a butcher who kills pigs, if he goes, wouldn't he be in the company of cattle dealers and butchers? You can't go, and if you go, you're willing to fall.
After Bai Mo finished laughing, he squinted at Li Hanyao and said, "You girl, you have gone to such great lengths to please me, do you want to persuade me to win me over?" β
Li Hanyao smiled: "I have no such intention. β
The white ink plate face said: "You don't look down on me, the prodigal son? β
Li Hanyao shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't look down on it. Although your poetry is good, I suspect that you chant poetry and paint all day long, play the piano and play the flute, and you don't know how to govern the economy and people's livelihood at all-" Bai Mo's eyes widened instantly, very angry-"But it doesn't matter if you don't know how to be an official, I am the best at using people, and I will definitely let you play to your strengths." β
Bai Mo shouted: "Do you want to provoke? It's not clever. β
