Chapter II
She led me to hand me over to a few handmaidens, I was relieved to be groomed and dressed by them, at the moment I felt like a plaything, they didn't speak, I didn't speak, I sorted out my clothes and things, and they helped me put on a green dress, and they wanted to put rouge gouache on my face, I sniffed, it was too fragrant, they were not allowed to wipe it on my face, they naturally listened to my orders, but then took a lot of jewelry and headdresses, I thought it was too complicated, The head really can't bear such a heavy weight, so everything has been saved by me, into three slightly blue hairpins, the plate is a girl and the hair accessories, with me, I am a year older, but I look still decent, really responded to that sentence, people rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, I am also very moving, in the end I even sipped the red paper to abandon, those few maids feel helpless, but also helpless to me, fortunately the bustard prepared a lunch meal for me, this is also happy, Seeing that the old bustard pulled me to look east and west, there was no trembling just now, but there was a little gentleness, I think she must be thinking that this mushroom looks good, I am raising the corners of my mouth on both sides at this time, it should be called a smile, is this a real smile or a fake smile?
I can't even tell the difference myself. She led me into the first room by the stairs, the smell was fragrant, a smell of rouge gouache, too strong, I was a little unwell, not like the other girls who had closed the door and thought about it, I opened the door and dispersed the fragrance, not at all like they had come to kill people, but like they were really pitiful for them, only I knew in my own heart, I was not here to play, but I still felt a little wrong, it all seemed too smooth, alas!
Maybe it's my luck. I will have someone to make dishes for me in a while, not as I imagined that there are all kinds of delicious, on the table is only the bowl of fish soup, but unfortunately the fish head is gone, even did not put tofu, I lost interest in eating, only to see the old bustard came to my room, looked at the table of dishes, in fact, there are only two bowls in total, and then counted the people in the kitchen one by one: "Tell me, this is too unusual, just fry this plate of vegetables and don't even put a piece of meat, this fish soup doesn't even give you the fish head, and the rice is too little, How do you get enough to eat? Hearing this, I only raised the corner of my left mouth, and had no intention of eating, the old bustard counted for a long time, and did not see me add a dish or rice or anything, I picked up my long sword, removed the scabbard of the sword, and the old bustard hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, girl, I'll ask someone to change it for you." I looked at my own eyes in the long sword and said, "No need, I just suddenly want to look at my eyes, and by the way, I show off my long sword to you, don't be nervous." Immediately, I gave her the sword, she trembled like a sick old man, and looked at my sword expression softened a lot, and then laughed: "It turns out that this long sword has not yet been opened!" I nodded as if with a hint of enthusiasm: "It's meant to scare you, why should you take it seriously, these things, oh no!" This plate of vegetables and this fish soup is much better than what I used to eat, and ah, my name is tasteless, and it means no taste, do you understand? Apparently she didn't understand what I meant by this, as if even I hadn't understood why I was saying these things in a mess, maybe just to amuse her and add some fun to life, but she nodded like a chicken pecking rice and left my room.
I opened the back window of my room, where there was an alley, looked at the wine table and the welcoming place under the front door, put some miscellaneous things near the back window, and moved a chair to cover it, and ate my meal in peace.
Soon it was evening again, I looked for the old bustard to find a veil, followed her to the backstage, the long sword was left in the room, and saw the old bustard on stage, and smiled like a flower: "Today I am a beautiful girl, who is called a peugeot girl, whose name is tasteless, and who is the best at cold dance, and you will judge and judge." "I gently walked on the stage with small steps, the music around me sounded, I danced naturally not dance, but martial arts, slowed down my movements, kept up with the beat of the music, and danced my martial arts in a mess, under the veil, I laughed, I heard the applause of those men, I lost my smile, returned to indifference, after the song, I turned to leave, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the young master sitting in the corner, there was a doubt what he was doing here?
But I didn't think much about it, it had nothing to do with me, everyone shouted to dance again, and the old bustard came to the stage as we had discussed, and said to everyone: "The tasteless girl only dances one song today, if you still want to see her dance, you can give a gift to my tasteless girl, if she can see it, she!" I will be able to dance for you alone. I went back to the room, after a while the old bustard came to me with a box of gifts, I saw the jasper hairpin, the carving on it is a pear blossom, there is no flaw on a whole hosta, I don't understand the jade I only think it is good-looking, fresh and chic, and I saw the old bustard open a small wooden box, there are ten ingots of gold in the wooden box, she said: "This is Zhang Shizi sent." The bustard's words revealed irrepressible happiness, and when he saw that my eyes had been on the jasper hairpin, he said to me happily: "This is a boy named Ring." As she spoke, she put the hairpin next to the wooden box, and began to say who gave it to other things, what Wu Gongzi's jade pendant, Li Gongzi's wooden flute...... It wasn't until he finished speaking that I looked at the hosta and asked again: "How do you write the word salty?" "Here I want to emphasize, it's not that I don't know, and I can't write these two words, but I don't know which salt, and I don't know which one is also, and I saw the old bustard happily said to me: "That salty boy has left, saying that he just gave you the hairpin, and didn't ask for anything else, as for the word salty ring, I don't know which two words it is!" It is Zhang Shizi Zhang Shizi, who is the most generous of these sons, and only asks to see the girl. "I deliberately put on a veil, just to lure this Zhang Shizi into the bait, this Zhang Shizi must be seen, but this hairpin?
Forget that everyone is gone, then it will be mine: "This hosta, I will stay, Zhang Shizi and I will see it, you can take it away from the mother of gold, and you can return everything else!" "Seeing that I was not greedy for money, the old bustard happily left the hairpin and left with those things, and as for her not to return it, I guess she will not return it.
Those people were willing to give me, in order to ask to see me, I did not see their gifts, they also had a thought, and did not disappoint the sincerity of others.
