Chapter 002 Love Red Dust Cheeks Peach Blossoms
Don't pour the wine glass into the block, and say the warbler flower in the dream.
Zhang Qiugu swiped his ink and wrote these two lines of poetry on rice paper in a very chic manner, admiring them quite complacently for a long time, and then let out a long sigh.
Alas! I miss Zhang Qiugu, born fair-skinned and plump, with a long body and a jade body; Talent is the chest of the stars, relying on the horse; In the chest is the sea and the sky, the mountains are high and the moon is clear; The demeanor is even more hearty, graceful and noble, really like the dragon gets rain, and the eagle falcon is empty. In this way, I want to have good looks, I want to have culture, I want to have IQ, I want to be intelligent, outstanding, and handsome, others say that I will be a great man in the future, so why ......, alas!
Zhang Qiugu was born rich and noble, and he is a well-known rich second generation. Since his father's death, Zhang Qiugu has become the only pillar of the family. However, her mother is the daughter of a famous family, and she is quite financially minded, so she doesn't have to worry about Zhang Qiugu, because Zhang Qiugu has time to be his merry son. After three years of filial piety, they got married under the orders of their mothers and the words of the matchmaker. Originally, the candle night in the cave room was a great joy in life, but this joy turned into a depressing thing.
Mrs. Zhang, who is also from a famous family, is not long or short, her face is not fat or thin, although she is not a peerless beauty, but she is not very ugly, to put it bluntly, she is an ordinary person, and she has an old-fashioned temperament, a stubborn temper, not funny and humorous at all, and she is annoyed when she looks at her.
This matter, if you put it on others, be content with the status quo, and live honestly, but Zhang Qiugu is the material to be a great man in the future, how can you be satisfied with the status quo, this is absolutely not good! The wife of a great man, that is the existence of the mother in the world, it must be a peerless celebrity with both talent and appearance to be worthy!
So, Zhang Qiugu put down his pen and ink and went straight to find his mother.
It's only natural to find your mother when you have something, and you can't go wrong.
The mother is teaching her daughter-in-law the rules of the house. The so-called daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, and it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law, so she has to put out the score of being a mother-in-law and find a way back!
Zhang Qiugu waved his hand after entering the house, driving Zhang out like a fly.
Originally, the mother-in-law's attitude towards her daughter-in-law also depended on her son to a certain extent, and when she saw that her son was so unkind to her daughter-in-law, her mother-in-law immediately felt that her waist was stiff.
Zhang Qiugu is still very filial to his mother. Sitting next to his mother, he stretched out his hand to pinch his mother's arms and beat his legs, and said with a smile: "Mother, my son has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he can't waste his studies at home all day long, which has wasted so many years of hard work in his parents' upbringing. The son wants to go out to experience and practice, make friends with learned people in the world, and the vast world, the son will definitely make a great difference! ”
The words are sonorous, and my mother's blood is boiling like boiling water.
Don't think of your mother as old, in ancient times, most men got married at the age of eighteen or nineteen, women were sixteen or seventeen years old, and Zhang Qiugu was eighteen or nineteen years old, so her mother was thirty or less than forty years old, and she was in modern times, that is, a blooming peony flower, and her charm was boundless.
The mother patted her son's hand and said dotingly: "Okay, you go, don't worry about the family, your mother is waiting for you to glorify your ancestors." ”
So in the early morning of the next day, Zhang Qiugu didn't say hello to his daughter-in-law, and directly packed his bags and set off.
Zhang Qiugu lives in Changshu County, Suzhou, and it was not very far to go to Suzhou. In less than a day, I arrived in Suzhou and stayed at an inn called "Buddha Zhaolou" outside Panmen.
Suzhou has always had the reputation of "heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below", and since ancient times, it has been the existence of literati and ink writers who are the most stingy with pen and ink, and exaggerate praise, and it is also a place for handsome men and beautiful women.
Zhang Qiugu stayed at the inn, rested for a day, and went out to wander around, listen to music, eat a big meal, and make a few friends with wine and meat, but it was also very happy.
After dinner that day, Zhang Qiugu didn't have any entertainment, so he went out alone.
Zhang Qiugu is an idle master, and he doesn't feel lonely when the lights are red and green during the day, but there is no entertainment at night, when the wine is dry and the people are gone, he is holding the lonely lamp and staring dryly, and there is no mobile phone in ancient times to flirt with his sister from time to time, so how can he stand it!
Wandering through the streets, I saw the wonderful people sitting in the luxurious carriages that came and went, and the guests in the same carriage were smiling and charming. It's a pity that I first arrived in Suzhou, and I am not familiar with the place.
I had no choice but to go to a theater garden called "Yuxiang Pavilion", choose a table to sit down, and carefully look at the actors on stage.
But I saw an actor sitting on the third seat on the left, about sixteen or seventeen years old, pearlescent side gathering, Pei Ringing Flowing, eyebrows locked in the spring mountain, eyes clear autumn water, the pink cheeks were faint with two wine vortices, as if smiling but not smiling, bowing his head and holding his hands, sitting there fiddling with the corners of his clothes.
Zhang Qiugu couldn't take his eyes off it at a glance, as if his soul had been hooked, his soul was not guarded, he was demented, and he looked like a pig.
The eyes of the cousin were trained in the battlefield for a long time, and when he saw the six ways and listened to the eight directions, he understood when he saw Zhang Qiugu's pig brother's appearance, and immediately walked over and said in a low voice:
"This artist's name is Xu Baoqin, and the guests who are infatuated with her are like carp crossing the river, she is just sixteen years old this year, and her Beijing accent is absolutely authentic, and it is definitely not comparable to those second-rate goods, and her acting skills have nothing to say. Do you want to order a few songs? ”
Zhang Qiugu didn't have time to take care of the hall, so he just nodded slightly.
The cousin walked like a fly to get some play cards, and took a pen and handed it to Zhang Qiugu very intimately.
Zhang Qiugu picked up the pen and wrote two Peking operas of "Cinnabar Mole" and "Qionglin Banquet", and ordered the two minor tunes of "Selling Flower Balls" and "White Orchid", and the cousin immediately went to arrange it.
The super Internet celebrity heard that there was a guest ordering, raised his head, glanced at Zhang Qiugu, and smiled slightly, Zhang Qiugu only felt that at that moment, this super traffic Internet celebrity had charming eyes and red tide cheeks, and he looked more and more radiant and colorful.
At this time, a maid in her twenties, Ah Xian, walked over, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, sat next to Zhang Qiugu, and poured tea for him with her own hands, smiled and asked Zhang Qiugu's surname, and then exchanged a few words, and Zhang Qiugu answered one by one.
At this time, Xu Baoqin held the pipa and played a set of opening songs, posing as if he was holding the pipa and half-covering his face, and his singing voice was curling, although it was not a cracked stone piercing the clouds, but it was also a guide to businessmen and carved feathers. After singing a section of "Cinnabar Mole", he lowered the pipa and sang the minor key "White Orchid" in a low tone. Singing to the place where the mood is full, the starry eyes are low, the apricot face is slightly red, and a pair of watery autumn eyes frequently discharge to Zhang Qiugu, which provokes the audience to cheer in unison, but it makes Zhang Qiugu embarrassed.
After a while, Xu Baoqin finished singing, and gave Ah Xian a look, and Ah Xian came over again and said to Zhang Qiugu: "Sorry, take a break!" After speaking, he helped Xu Baoqin to leave.
Before leaving, Ah Xian smiled at Zhang Qiugu Yingying again, and then went downstairs.
Zhang Qiugu hurriedly called the cousin to pay the bill, and hurriedly followed down the stairs.
Xu Baoqin hadn't gotten into the sedan chair yet, standing at the door, seeing Zhang Qiugu coming down in a hurry, he greeted with a smile: "Zhang Dashao, can you have time to come to me to sit down?" ”
Zhang Qiugu agreed: "I was about to sit down, you ask Ah Xian to go with me." ”
Xu Baoqin called Ah Xian and said, "Ah Xian, then I'll go back first, and you and Zhang Gongzi will follow." ”
Ah Xian agreed, and Xu Baoqin got into the sedan chair and left.
Zhang Qiugu and Ah Xian walked and chatted all the way, and slowly walked across the Gantang Bridge.
After getting off the bridge, Zhang Qiugu had already seen the small building with Xu Baoqin's sign, so he entered the door and went upstairs, and the guy shouted: "The guest comes up!" ”
At this time, Xu Baoqin had already changed her clothes and went to the escalator to wait for Zhang Qiugu.
Zhang Qiugu took Xu Baoqin's hand and entered the room together.
The room is not big, but it is very richly cleaned.
Zhang Qiugu sat at the table.
Xu Baoqin brought over a plate of melon seeds, while carefully looking at Zhang Qiugu.
It was the weather at the beginning of February, and I saw that he was covered with a white-gray gray squirrel skin robe, with a black foreign satin grass frosted on the shoulders, and an azure tribute satin foreign squirrel horse coat, and the colors were very coordinated and symmetrical. Long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white face and plump face, heroic and refreshing, Yi Yi is compelling, he has been mixed in the road for so many years, he has never seen such an outstanding character, and he unconsciously became affectionate, and sat down next to Zhang Qiugu, gentle and graceful, and his voice was charming and moving.
Zhang Qiugu saw that Xu Baoqin was still a little shy between his words, and knew that he was a first-class person who had just entered this industry, and was not as good as Lin Daiyu and Weng Meiqian; Seeing her low cheeks and smiling lightly, looking forward to pity, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed, so she said to Xu Baoqin: "It's the first time I've come here today, and I want to invite a few friends to gather here, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”
Xu Baoqin said with a smile: "As long as the son is willing to take care of my business, it is no better, how can it be inconvenient." As he spoke, he turned back to the maids and men in the room, and asked them to go down and prepare a table for the son.
Zhang Qiugu asked the maid to come over with a pen and inkstone, and after writing the invitation, Xu Baoqin asked the maid to distribute it.
It didn't take long for the guests to arrive.
The banquet had been set up, and Zhang Qiugu was wiping his hands with the handkerchief handed over by the maid, when he saw a young man come in outside the door, who looked handsome and elegant, with graceful eyebrows, and Qiugu were like-minded, and often met, Zhang Qiugu's most respected friend, Dongfang Yao, nicknamed Fang Xiaosong.
Zhang Qiugu was very happy when he saw Dongfang Yao coming, and immediately hugged his fists and said, "You're late, you will be fined three glasses of wine in a while." ”
