Chapter 503: Xiangxiang's Couplet
Xiangxiang is a girl in the Red Mansion of Manxianglou, or a pure girl, eighteen years old, born with the color of the country and the fragrance of the sky, so she is named Xiangxiang.
Xiangxiang's pomp is very expensive, it costs 1o taels of silver to sing a song, 1o taels of silver to drink a glass of wine, and 1oo taels of silver if you accompany you to eat and drink for one night.
The emphasis here is on only eating and drinking, and eating and drinking together costs a hundred taels of silver, not to mention how much does it cost to sleep with you for one night?
Many rich sons and gentlemen have asked Sister Fang, how much does this Xiangxiang girl cost, even if it is ten thousand taels, they are willing to pay.
But Sister Fang has not said the money for the stay with Miss Xiangxiang, which makes those sons and masters itch in their hearts, so they call Xiangxiang to come over and sing a small song when they are free, or come over to eat and drink a meal with them, so as to get close to Fangze.
This Sister Fang is also shrewd, and Xiangxiang is so noble because she is still a pure woman and has not been touched by a man.
If Xiangxiang is taken advantage of by a man, how can anyone come over and invite her to sing or invite her to dinner at a high price?
1oo taels of silver this night, as long as 1oo night, you can earn back 10,000 taels of silver, so Sister Fang has not agreed, and used Xiangxiang as the cash cow of Manxianglou, so that more guests can come to patronize Manxianglou.
Pavilion Master Lin smiled at Ye Yingfan and said, "Wu Dalang, you call Miss Xiangxiang to come over and sing tonight, okay?"
"Pavilion master, didn't we call two little girls over?" Ye Yingfan asked vigilantly.
He is not a fool, although he doesn't know how much Xiangxiang sings, but so many people like Xiangxiang, it must be unusual.
These two little girls play the piano and sing, only one or two silver, who knows how much Xiangxiang costs?
Doctor Ma was afraid that Ye Yingfan would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly whispered the price of Xiangxiang in his ear.
Ye Yingfan became angry when he heard it, damn, the tiger is not powerful, are you treating me as a sick cat?
"Pavilion Master Lin, I don't have so much money, if you want to listen to Miss Xiangxiang sing, you can do it yourself. Ye Yingfan didn't say a word, and took out thirty taels of silver to Sister Fang.
"Sister Fang, this is tonight's wine and dinner money, including the singing money of those two little girls. If I give you these thirty taels of silver, I will not have any money for you, so don't ask me for money again. Ye Yingfan shouted.
Sister Fang didn't expect Ye Yingfan to say such a thing, she was also stunned, she had never seen a guest who gave money before she finished eating.
Pavilion Master Lin smiled and said: "Doctor Wu, don't you want to be like this, isn't it just a hundred taels of silver, I can help you out first, and then the medical hall will deduct you." ”
"Hmph, Pavilion Master Lin, you like to listen to Miss Xiangxiang sing so much, why don't you pay for it yourself? Bullying me a new doctor, what is this?" Ye Yingfan sneered.
Now that he has torn his face, Ye Yingfan doesn't have to give face to the Lin Pavilion Master.
"You, you, you......" Pavilion Master Lin was so angry that he was almost speechless.
Ye Yingfan glanced at everyone and said, "Colleagues, come and judge the reasoning." Today is my first day of work, and I have never received a salary before, so today I will go to the account office and withdraw twenty-five taels of silver, and then I will make up enough thirty taels of silver to invite everyone to come over for dinner and drink, is it easy for me?"
"But someone asked me to pay a hundred taels of silver to invite some Xiangxiang girl to come over for dinner and drink, and asked me to pay more, was this the case when you first came?" Ye Yingfan said righteously and sternly, so that some doctors did not dare to raise their heads.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere cooled down, and Pavilion Master Lin was very angry, he didn't expect Ye Yingfan, a doctor who had just arrived, to dare to lose his face, he was really angry.
If it weren't for the fact that this meal was free to eat and drink, the Lin Pavilion Master really wanted to leave immediately.
Seeing that it was cold, Sister Fang immediately took the thirty taels of silver and said with a smile: "Doctor Wu, don't you do this." Everyone comes out to play, just to have fun. As for whether to call my daughter Xiangxiang to come over and sing, that's secondary. ”
"yes, yes, let's have a drink. Doctor Ma also smiled and circled the field.
The other doctors also picked up the wine glasses, and the face of the Lin Pavilion Master was not so ugly. However, he hated Wu Dalang and wanted to give Wu Dalang a color in the future.
Damn, with the support of the Li family, what if there is an outdated imperial doctor behind Ye Yingfan?
Ye Yingfan saw that everyone was drinking, and he was no longer so "rushed", so he picked up the wine glass and drank a glass.
Sister Fang smiled: "That's right, everyone is harmonious." Doctor Wu, don't worry, your food and drink today are controlled within thirty taels of silver. ”
Twenty-five taels of silver for a meal, plus some liquor, there is still no problem, as long as it is not good wine.
"However, our daughter said that if you want to listen to a song that doesn't cost money, it's okay, as long as there is a talented person who can get the couplet from Xiangxiang, she will sing a song on the piano for free. Sister Fang continued.
"Is there such a thing?" said Pavilion Master Lin was interested when he heard it. "Sister Fang, what are the couplets? Let's listen to it, see if we can listen to Miss Yixiangxiang's wonderful song for free?"
You must know that listening to Miss Xiangxiang's song costs ten taels of silver, and if you can be worthy of the couplet, it is also a good thing to save these ten taels of silver.
For these doctors in the hospital, ten taels of silver is nothing, but this is a matter of face.
Sister Fang saw that Xiangxiang's free listening to the couplet attracted the guests again, and she couldn't help but smile.
Xiangxiang proposed this idea before, but at first she didn't agree with it.
How can there be such a thing as singing for guests for free? This is called stealing chickens and not eating rice.
Later, after Xiangxiang's explanation, she said that this was a propaganda effect, which would definitely make her signboard and Manxianglou leave an impression in everyone's hearts.
Anyway, it's a couplet, and the right one must be a famous talent, and it's good to get acquainted.
Sister Fang heard Xiangxiang say this, so she agreed.
When Xiangxiang came out of this couplet for three months, no one was right, and everyone was even more interested in Manxianglou.
Sister Fang smiled at everyone: "Yes, the couplets from my family's fragrant fragrance are: if there are insects in the water, it will be turbid, if there are fish in the water, then fishing, water and water, rivers and lakes will be miaomiao." Which talent can be right, we Xiangxiang will sing a song for him for free. ”
As soon as the pavilion master heard that he was interested, he immediately said to the other doctors: "You all think about it, let Xiangxiang come and help us sing for free." ”
Everyone doesn't owe this money, but they just want to take advantage of it, and it's also a matter of face.
can pair the fragrant couplet, doesn't it make everyone feel that they are a powerful talent?
Doctor Ma asked strangely, "Sister Fang, aren't we all the showmen in Yanggu County?"
"It's been three months since this couplet was released, and still no one has matched it. Sister Fang said with a smile.
Pavilion Master Lin pondered for a while and said: "This couplet is not easy to be right, it was originally a word puzzle, and it was used on the couplet, no wonder no one has matched it for three months." ”
Sister Fang smiled and said: "Yes, although my family Xiangxiang is a daughter, she has been familiar with the scriptures since she was a child, and she is erudite and talented, I don't know which son-in-law can make her take a fancy to her?"
