Chapter 41: Will it be recognized?
Mao Leyan had a black line on his head and looked at Yanchun with resentment, "Miss Yanchun, didn't you see that my son's clothes were all wet?" My son is going to change his clothes, not to take off your clothes, don't worry. With that, he took his shirt and walked behind the screen, and after a while, he came out conveniently.
Yanchun looked up and saw Mao Leyan put on a brocade dress, his face was like a crown of jade, handsome and extraordinary, his heart moved, his face was shy, and he said, "Son, please sit down and drink." ”
Mao Leyan sat down, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, this is a warm osmanthus wine, the entrance is mellow, the wine taste is not very strong, some sweet, I drank two glasses in a row, and I felt that my body was gradually warming.
Yanchun said: "Son, drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
Mao Leyan looked at her and asked, "Just now you said that you don't sell your art, so what talent do you have?" Show it to Ben Gongzi. ”
Yanchun got up and said shyly: "The slave family can play the piano, play chess, paint, chant poetry, and sing......."
"Okay, you sing and listen." Mao Leyan hurriedly stopped her from counting, she hadn't listened to a song for a long time, although it was a song of this era, it was better than nothing.
Yanchun walked to the window, there was a zither on a pitch-black piano stand by the window, incense was burning on the table, Yanchun used a wire hook to pound it, and the fragrance became more and more intense.
Yan Chun's eyes were bright, and her ten fingers quickly slid over the strings, flowing out a string of pleasant notes. With a twist of his fingers, the moving notes floated out, and Mao Leyan was just listening to it with the mentality of passing the time, and then found that he was immersed in this beautiful and slightly sad music.
".......... past, I will go back, and the willows will still be there. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling..."The voice like a yellow warbler from the valley flowed out of Yanchun's cherry mouth, Mao Leyan was so excited that he almost immediately stood up and handed Yanchun a card, asking her to participate in the singing rookie competition.
After a song, Mao Leyan was still immersed in the crying song, and he couldn't get out for a long time.
"Childe?" Yan Chunying walked up to her and shouted shyly.
Mao Leyan raised his head and said in amazement: "Yanchun, you are beautiful and have a sweet voice, and even your piano skills are superb, why did you end up in Qinglou?" ”
The ancient Qinglou women, in the poet's poems, have a unique style, and also have some poor life experiences, all of which are moving. Mao Leyan suddenly became a little interested, and wanted to have a good chat with the woman in front of him.
It's just that the more happy the women on the field, the more they don't like to talk about their life experience, Yanchun only said lightly: "It's not a homeless, everyone has their own ambitions!" ”
Mao Leyan was stunned, and suddenly smiled: "It's a good sentence, everyone has their own ambitions." "Yes, even if she is a Qinglou woman, who said that she must be homeless? In the Qinglou, it is not necessarily a low-level life, it is just a job.
"Does Childe still want to listen to music?" Yanchun asked with a smile, shifting the topic away without a trace.
Mao Leyan looked at her sideways, pulling her white hand, Yanchun subconsciously shrank a little, but only shrunk, and then let Mao Leyan pull it.
In the Qinglou, even if it is a woman who sells her art and does not sell herself, she will more or less encounter the hairy hands and feet of the prostitutes, and it is basically a common thing to be eaten tofu.
Mao Leyan turned over her hand, looked at her fingers, rubbed the calluses on her hands, and said: "That's it, I wanted to learn the piano, but just by looking at your fingers, I knew that it was not a day's work, and my son still didn't have the patience." With that, she let go of her hand and took her glass and drank slowly.
Yanchun was stunned for a moment and said, "Childe wants to learn the piano?" ”
"I thought about it just now, but I don't think about it now." Mao Leyan replied, she approached Yanchun, lowered her voice and asked, "Ask you something, does that Qing Wang Ye come often?" ”
Yanchun smiled, "That's right, he has a crush on our Oiran Arashiko girl, and he has been here several times in the past few days." ”
"Fancy it?" Mao Leyan stretched these two words and read them, and the meaning of these two words is more, "Why don't you marry and be an aunt and grandmother at home?" Qing Wangye is unwilling to marry a Qinglou woman? This sentence is obviously ironic. Who doesn't know that he once had a side concubine of the Oiran of the Qinglou?
Yanchun lowered her voice and said, "No, it's Lanzi who doesn't want to be an aunt, she wants to be a side concubine!" "It seems that since there was a Luo Yunsheng, there have been countless Luo Yunsheng one after another.
Mao Leyan immediately admired this Oiran girl, she was ambitious, either she didn't marry, or she had to be a concubine if she wanted to marry, and the girl in the Qinglou didn't dream of being a concubine, because there was already someone in the concubine. It's not too much to be a concubine, right? It's just that appreciation, she thinks it's not fun to be the side concubine of Qingwangfu, so she shook her head and said: "There are so many women in Qingwangfu, it's not a good thing to marry into the palace." ”
Yanchun was noncommittal, only smiled slightly.
"Tonight, this son won't leave!" Mao Le said.
Yanchun raised her eyes slightly and said, "In that case, the slave family will find a girl for the son to spend the night." ”
"No need, just you!" Mao Leyan stretched his waist and walked to the bed.
Yanchun panicked slightly, "The slave family can't, the slave family said ........."
"You don't sell your body, do you?" Mao Leyan sat on the bed and looked at her quietly, "If my son doesn't give silver, he won't be considered a sell-out, right?" ”
Yan Chun was dumbfounded, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Mao Leyan smiled, "Teasing you, look at your frightened face turned white." I don't need you to stay with me for the night, I just want to find a place to sleep for the night. ”
Yanchun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why doesn't Childe find an inn?" Staying overnight here is much more expensive than staying at an inn! ”
Mao Leyan took off his shoes, lifted the quilt and lay down, and said lazily: "My son just likes the atmosphere of the Qinglou." You keep playing the tune, and when you're tired, lie down on the table and fall asleep. Don't worry, the silver Ben Gongzi will take care of it! ”
Although Yanchun felt a little strange, she had seen all the stranger guests, which was not unusual.
Soon after the sound of the piano, Mao Leyan met with Zhou Gongzi and talked with Zhou Gongzi about snoring.
After coming to ancient times for so long, the night she slept in Qinglou was the most restful night she slept on.
As soon as the sky turned white, Mao Leyan left the Qinglou and walked towards Qingwang's Mansion. She wanted to sneak back to the house to change her clothes before everyone got up. Xiao Shu returned to Fuzhong a day early. Before I got up that day, I saw Mao Leyan coming back secretly, and I couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?" ”
Mao Leyan took out his clothes and said while changing his clothes: "It's almost worn, fortunately I escaped quickly, otherwise something would definitely happen!" ”
Xiao Shu looked at her disappointedly, "Then, the silver reward or something, it's all in vain?" ”
Mao Leyan's face drooped, "It's a bath, but it's not a waste of work, I stole the emperor's jade pendant and sold some silver, enough for us to buy a house and leave the palace!" ”
I thought that Xiao Shu would be happy, but who expected Xiao Shu to turn pale with fright, "What? Stole the emperor's jade pendant? If it's broken, it's broken, the emperor will definitely track it down, and then we will be dead. ”
Mao Leyan said softly: "So, we have to hurry up and leave the palace!" ”
Now, Xiao Shu thinks that this is the only way to go. Unexpectedly, he went in to mix silver, but in the end he became a thief, and the thief was the emperor's personal belongings.
After the hour, Mao Leyan took Xiao Shu to greet the princess. Although Xiao Shu asked for leave for her before, it was better to do enough at this time, so as not to be caught by someone and attract the attention of King Qing, because he was already suspicious in the Qinglou last night.
When she went, Concubine Lin and all the aunts and wives were there, she stepped forward to greet the princess and Concubine Lin, and the princess asked, "Didn't Xiao Shu say that your mother was seriously ill and wanted to stay for a few more days?" ”
Mao Leyan said respectfully: "If you go back to the princess, because her condition has improved this morning, the concubine will come back first." ”
"It's okay to stay a few more days, don't worry, the prince won't go to your side anyway." The princess smiled, although there was no sarcasm, but it made the aunts laugh out loud.
Concubine Lin also smiled slightly, she sat beside the concubine, majestic and dignified, although she was a side concubine, in the end there was a concubine word, which was much more noble than a kind of aunt wife.
Mao Leyan once again cursed the evil old society.
Someone outside the door shouted: "The prince has arrived!" ”
The princess's face was happy, and she hurriedly led people to greet her, and Concubine Lin also restrained her expression, lowered her eyebrows, lowered her eyebrows, and stood beside the princess, watching the man in a blue brocade robe step in.
"See the prince!" The princess led the salute. Mao Leyan is also blessed, but he is faintly worried in his heart, when he asked for peace in the past, he never appeared, I hope today is not for her.
It turned out that her worries were unnecessary, and the purpose of King Qing's visit was to discuss with the princess about marrying one more side concubine.
Mao Leyan obviously saw the sudden change in the faces of the princess and Luo Yunsheng, although the princess was smiling, her face was already stiff, and she asked softly: "Lord, I don't know which girl it is?" ”
Qing Wang Ye sat on the Taishi chair, stroked the chair handle with his hand, and said lightly: "Spring Building!" ”
The princess was puzzled for a while, "Spring Building? The daughter of the owner of the Spring Building? What is the Spring Building? ”
An aunt who understood said softly: "Chunyi Building is a green building!" ”
The princess's face changed suddenly, and her voice became a little sad: "Lord Wang, do you mean to accept the Qinglou woman as a side concubine?" Did the concubine know about this? ”
Qing Wangye said coldly: "This king originally wanted to marry her as a concubine, but there is only one seat for the concubine, princess, you say, is it better to be a side concubine or a concubine?" "Everyone is a little surprised, the matter of marrying Luo Yunshang before has made the concubine almost reluctant to go home, and now she continues to disobey the concubine for the sake of a Qinglou woman?
Such a naked threat made the princess's face red and blue, and Concubine Lin and Luo Yunshang didn't dare to make a sound, only hoping that the princess could persevere to the end. But they obviously overestimated the princess, she is the same woman who depends on the prince to survive, without any right to object, and now the prince is here to discuss with her, and the ugly thing is to inform her and order her to prepare for the marriage.
