Chapter 6 Drinking and interrogating
Time flies, day by day singing and dancing between I have been in this Furong Orchestra for more than three months, because I sing and dance chic and have a few talents, the number of literati who come to watch my singing and dancing is increasing, and the Qin Niang has won countless silver coins every day, and since then I have been treated more differently from other girls, and the clothing is quite thoughtful. However, as time passed, I realized in my heart that this song and dance scene was just a meal of youth, and it was not a long-term solution, so I gradually gave birth to the idea of redeeming myself and finding another way out. But not to mention that the ransom is not settled, just by virtue of the identity of the top singer of the Furong Music Workshop, Qin Niang will definitely refuse to let go, thinking of these unconsciously sad in her heart, she is helpless!
On this day, when I came out of the private room where the guests were listening to the music, I saw Wang Zhaoyuan and Qin Niang standing under the cloister. But seeing me, Wang Zhaoyuan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Rui'er makes people wait, my son-in-law invites the girl to Tianxianglou to talk." Hearing him say this, I looked at Qin Niang, not knowing how to respond.
"Oh, Rui'er, you can go with Wang Gongzi." Qin Niang seems to be very happy for me to entertain that Meng Baoyuan.
"However, Aunt Fang Cai didn't agree to Xu Gongzi's invitation to listen to the music." I hesitated, I only felt that I shouldn't go out with that Meng Baoyuan, so I excused myself and declined.
"It's okay, it's okay, girl, it's common for you to temporarily change and refuse to appear, and besides, I'll arrange for Yan Hong to sing in the past, so you can rest assured." is a good qin girl, and I don't know how much benefit I got from the surname Meng, so I helped him like this.
I wanted to excuse myself, but I didn't want Qin Niang to look at Ming'er on the one hand, and half-pushed and half-pulled me into the soft sedan chair that had already stopped at the edge of the workshop.
Entering the private room of Tianxianglou, I saw that Meng Baoyuan was still dressed in an elegant white shirt, sitting in front of the Eight Immortals table, and in addition to a few exquisite side dishes, there was also a small jar of wine on the table. I stepped forward to salute, and walked to the position opposite him and sat down, Fang Han said with a smile: "Childe is so interested, how could he think of inviting a little girl here?" ”
Bao Yuan squinted and smiled, and said: "I recently found a fine wine in the Western Regions of the Altar, and after thinking about it, I only felt that I had to have a taste opposite to Miss Rui'er, so that I could live up to this rare wine." After that, he motioned to Wang Zhaoyuan to take three white porcelain cups, got up and poured a full cup and handed it to me, and sat down beside me.
But seeing that the wine in the cup was purple and red, and the general fragrant and fragrant breath rushed to my nose, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately." Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times! ”
"Good" Bao Yuan high-fived and smiled: "Rui'er is really a strange woman, not only beautiful and beautiful, but also good at singing and dancing, and even her knowledge is extraordinary." ”
"Exactly, exactly" Wang Zhaoyuan said with a smile on his face: "Childe is right, this Rui'er girl is really magical, there is Pucha in the past, and there is "Decree Proverb" in the past, and now she is even more broken grape wine." No wonder Childe can't put it down in his heart all the time! ”
"Zhaoyuan, don't be rude." Bao Yuan shouted to stop Wang Zhaoyuan, as if he was afraid that he would surprise me.
"Hehe, it's just that my son-in-law is so subtle." Wang Zhaoyuan grinned and said, "As the saying goes, 'My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good'......"
"Zhaoyuan, if you talk more, you will let me out." Meng Baoyuan seemed to be a little annoyed, and said with a straight face. That Wang Zhaoyuan was not afraid, he touched his nose and laughed.
The two of his master and servant, singing and harmonizing, asked me to sit next to me and not stand or stand, but I felt that my face was feverish, and I couldn't find a hole to drill down.
Seeing that I was embarrassed, Bao Yuan said slowly: "Miss Rui'er, don't be surprised, although Zhaoyuan and I are called master servants, they are actually partners who have grown up together since childhood, he has never spoken in a mouth, it's good for girls not to be weird." ”
I shook my head and chuckled: "Wang Gongzi has a straightforward personality, and he deliberately praises Rui'er, how dare Rui'er be surprised, but the two sons raise Rui'er so much, it makes the little woman ashamed." After that, he raised his glass with both hands and said: "The grace of knowing the encounter, there is no way to repay it, only to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I wish the two sons peace and auspiciousness, and everything goes well." With that, I raised my head and drank the wine in my glass, and chuckled at the two of them with an empty glass.
"Well, happy! I don't want Miss Rui'er to be so bold. Done! "That Wang Zhaoyuan saw that I didn't care about him, so he was suddenly interested, and drank three cups in a row.
After three rounds of drinking, I only heard Meng Baoyuan ask: "Miss Rui'er, I don't know why you refused to sing "Willow Branches" that day? ”
He asked me about it, and I didn't know what it meant. I stopped my chopsticks and chuckled, "Childe, why do you ask this?" ”
"The bottom of the well is lit with deep candles, and the Gonglang is a long line of Mo Go. Exquisite dice An red beans, into the bone lovesickness does not know. I just think that Wen Tingyun's "Willow Branches" is very chic and affectionate as a famous song of the music workshop, but I don't know why the girl is reluctant to sing? ”
"Childe doesn't know, Rui'er selfishly thinks that the dancer moves people with his form, and the singer moves people because of his feelings, and the beauty of singing and dancing lies in moving people's hearts. Rui'er was not clear about the relationship between men and women, and she couldn't interpret the lovesickness of the woman in "Willow Branches", so she refused. "Actually, what I said was only half of the reason, I didn't want to sing this song at the time, just because most of the songs sung in the music workshop were such gaudy and vulgar songs that expressed the love of men and women, but I didn't bother to sing them.
"Oh" Bao Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a pair of black eyes looked at me shining. His gaze made my heart skip a beat for no reason, and I only felt a little uneasy in my heart, so I hurriedly lowered my head to avoid his gaze, and randomly sandwiched some side dishes into the bowl.
"Miss Rui'er, there is a sentence I have always wanted to say to the girl, but I don't know what the girl's plans are for the future, if there is anything wrong, I hope the girl will forgive me." Bao Yuan's warm and quiet voice sounded in my ears, and I had to look up again to meet his gaze.
His eyes were clear, and he said slowly with a smile: "The girl's talent and bearing are extraordinary, and now she is like jade and dust in Bao Yuan's eyes, and she intends to redeem herself for the girl, I don't know what you think?" ”
Is he trying to redeem me? I didn't expect this, I only thought he wanted to show me love, but I didn't want to redeem me.
"That's right, Miss Rui'er, with your appearance and talent, it's really a waste to be a courtesan in that music shop, so it's better to let my son-in-law help you redeem yourself." Wang Zhaoyuan interjected with the strength of wine: "Besides, my son-in-law has always liked girls, so it is better for the girl to follow my son-in-law......"
"Xie Gongzi's good intentions." I categorically interrupted Wang Zhaoyuan's words, got up and said, "Rui'er thanks Gongzi for her love, but Rui'er hasn't thought about selling herself for redemption at the moment." ”
"Rui'er, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that, don't listen to Zhaoyuan's nonsense......" Bao Yuan saw that I was angry, and hurriedly stopped Wang Zhaoyuan with his eyes and explained.
"Sister, ...... you" Ming'er, who was standing on the side, saw my color change, and stepped forward to support me, full of concern.
Knowing that Fang Cai was in a hurry for a while, and his words and deeds were a little inappropriate, I fixed my mind and said to Bao Yuan humbly: "Son, forgive me, Fang Cairui is too impulsive." He bowed as he spoke.
Seeing this, Bao Yuan stretched out his hand to stop my salutation, and said in a dumb voice: "Miss Rui'er, don't be like this, it was my lax discipline that made Zhaoyuan collide with the girl." However, Fang just proposed to redeem the girl's body, which is indeed a good intention, and I hope the girl will not misunderstand. ”
Seeing his sincerity, he apologized to me regardless of his identity, his heart was soft, and his eyes were red, and he sighed: "Childe's kindness Rui'er understands and is very grateful, but although Rui'er is scattered, she has never thought of attaching herself to anyone, even if she leaves Furong Music Fang one day, she must rely on her own ability." Besides, even if Childe helps me redeem myself, my sister really can't be left behind. As he spoke, he turned around and shook Ming'er's hand and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Sister......" Ming'er heard me say this, held my hand tightly with both hands, and said with tears: "Sister, good sister, you refuse to let Gongzi help you redeem yourself for Ming'er, I, I ......" I choked up for a while and couldn't continue.
"Silly girl." I reached out to help her wipe away her tears, my heart was sour, and tears welled up in my eyes. "Good sister, don't worry, in my heart you are my only relative here, and I will take you with me wherever I go."
"Sister......" Ming'er knelt down in front of me with a thud, hugged me and cried bitterly.
I held back my tears, picked up Ming'er, turned around and saluted Baoyuan Shiran, and said quietly: "Gongzi Meng, Rui'er has a reluctant request, and I ask Gongzi to agree." ”
Bao Yuan hugged me and said with a distressed look on his face: "Miss Rui'er, please say, as long as you are able to do so, you will agree." ”
"Rui'er wants to borrow silver taels from Gongzi to redeem myself and Ming'er." I said what I had wanted for a long time.
"The girl is willing to let Bao Yuan redeem her life for you, it's too late for me to be happy......" He looked at me, his eyes full of surprise.
"No, don't get me wrong. Rui'er didn't ask Gongzi to redeem Rui'er's body, but Rui'er borrowed money from Gongzi to redeem herself. Thinking that he misunderstood what I meant, he hurriedly corrected: "Rui'er wants to borrow some silver taels from Gongzi first to help herself and Ming'er redeem herself, and then discuss with Qin Niang to sing in Furong Music Fang as a guest, so as to earn silver taels and return them to Gongzi." ”
"After you redeem yourself, you still want to sing in the Hibiscus Music Workshop?" Bao Yuan's face sank, as if he didn't quite believe what I had just said, and there was a faint look of annoyance in his eyes.
"Hmm" I nodded and said: "Rui'er is self-controlled, except for singing and dancing, there is no other skill, only in the music workshop can you earn a ransom silver tael, and Ming'er and I are originally from the music workshop, and the environment there is the most suitable for our life, so ......"
"No, I don't agree. There are dragons and snakes mixed in the music square, what kind of peaceful life can you two weak women have there. Bao Yuan seemed to be irritated by my words, "I can buy you another house to live in, why do you have to make money by singing in the music shop?" ”
"Another house?" Hearing this, I smiled coldly: "Speaking of which, it turns out that the son still plans to hide my Fei Rui'er in the golden house." "Hehe, hehe, hehe...... A wave of sadness and anger surged from the bottom of my heart, turning into uncontrollable laughter rushing out of my mouth.
After a long time, I looked at the stunned Meng Gongzi with a cold face and said, "Rui'er shouldn't claim her identity, and she thinks that Gongzi is a friend of me." Farewell. With that, he turned around and pulled Ming'er to leave.
"Rui'er, don't go." Bao Yuan stepped forward to block my way, looked at me and stopped talking.
Seeing the apology in his eyes, I said with tears in my eyes: "The son has always been courteous to Rui'er, and I have the grace to save each other, but I blame Rui'er for her natural stubborn temper, unwilling to go against her will, and unwilling to lose her dignity." ”
"Okay, I promise you." He seemed to be trying hard to suppress his unhappiness, pulled me back to the table, and pressed me back into his chair. "I promise the girl."
"Xie Gongzi ......" I choked up and wanted to get up to thank him, but he was firmly pressed on the chair, and looked up to see the look in his eyes, both distressed and helpless and unbearable, and the sorrow in my heart suddenly disappeared without a trace like an ice cube falling into spring water.
"Zhaoyuan, you will go to Furong Music Shop tomorrow to complete the redemption for Rui'er." Bao Yuan sat down beside me and arranged for Wang Zhao to go afar.
"Yes, Childe." Wang Zhaoyuan responded, got up and filled the wine glasses in front of me and Bao Yuan, and said, "Childe, Miss Rui'er, today should be a good day of double happiness. Zhaoyuan more than a glass of respect for two. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Bao Yuan's face was originally unhappy, and he became more suspicious when he heard the words. I couldn't understand the meaning of Wang Zhaoyuan's words for a while, and looked at him puzzled.
"Hehe" Wang Zhaoyuan pretended to be relaxed, raised his glass and smiled: "First, Miss Rui'er will be able to get rid of the music and regain her freedom in a few days, which is a joy; Second, the son and the girl have an additional layer of loan relationship, which is a second joy. ”
"Well, this happiness is reasonable, the second happiness is ......" Bao Yuan looked at Wang Zhaoyuan and said: "What's so gratifying about the extra layer of loan relationship between me and Miss Rui'er?" ”
"Haha, Childe doesn't know." Wang Zhaoyuan took a sip of wine and sold it for a big time, until Bao Yuan glared at him, he smiled and said: "As the saying goes, 'It's easy to pay back money, but it's hard to be favored.'" 'Miss Rui'er borrowed money from her son, she owed both money and love, and this relationship was extraordinary! ”
"Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense." Bao Yuan was amused by this Wang Zhaoyuan's nonsense, and his unhappy expression was swept away.
When I heard this, I had to hide my face and laugh, and scolded in my heart: What a Wang Zhaoyuan, you flattered your master and took advantage of me, hum, what a scoundrel, scoundrel!
