A Dance in the City(5)
Zizhu clapped her hands and smiled: "This is your fate in your previous life. Lord Huai Shu said: "Is there really a past life?" Zizhu said: "Don't mention Miyamoto first." The slave maid has a request. Lord Huai Shu said: "What the hell is the idea?" Zizhu said: "You know, although our house is not very big, it is also rewarded by the emperor today, there are more than a dozen houses in the house, and there are so many more than a dozen slaves, but it is a pity that there is one less housekeeper to take care of the people in the house." ”
Lord Huai Shu said, "Haven't you been taking care of it?" Zizhu said: "But I still have to serve you!" How can a person divide his heart, take care of the house and be afraid that he will not serve you well, serve you well, and be afraid that he will not take care of the house well, in short, it is a headache. Lord Huai Shu said, "What do you want?" Zizhu smiled: "It's better to find someone to take care of the affairs of the house, and I can serve you wholeheartedly." ”
Lord Huaishu lightly tapped the tip of Zizhu's nose and said, "I think you must have someone to choose!" Zizhu scratched her scalp and said, "I can't hide anything from you, master." Lord Huai Shu said: "Tell me who it is?" Zizhu leaned over and whispered, "What do you think of Wang Han?" Lord Huai Shu said: "It's the little eunuch who recklessly bumped into me not long ago." Zizhu said: "You were reckless, and you said others." ”
"Ouch!" Lord Huaishu clapped his hands and said: "We Zizhu have only known that Wang Han for a few hours and are maintained like this, do you want to be a husband and wife with him!" Zizhu's face was slightly red, and she bit her jade lip and said, "Master, you just love to joke." I'm serious, but you're giggling. Lord Huaishu smiled: "Okay! Just promise you. ”
After a pause, she said again: "It's late at night, you are not lacking!" Still chattering. Zizhu said: "You have to tell His Highness tomorrow." So he served the lord of Huaishu to sleep.
The next day, Zizhu served the lord of Huaishu County to wash. After breakfast, she resigned to the county lord Huaishu and returned to the county lord's mansion to take care of affairs. The county lord of Huaishu thought to himself: It is better to go to my father's place while I am idle, and tell Wang Han about it by the way. But Zizhu's wish, lest she overwork. After thinking about it, she got up and went straight to Zhu Changluo's bedroom.
When he came to Zhu Changluo's bedroom, the door was closed, and there was no eunuch outside the door. Lord Huaishu secretly thought: Isn't my father in the room? I wanted to knock on the door, but I heard someone behind me scream: "County Lord, Your Highness has gone to the Wenhua Palace." Lord Huaishu looked back and saw that it was Wang Han who collided with her yesterday. He smiled and said, "It's you!" Wang Han bowed down and smiled: "The county lord Jin Zhi is healthy." ”
Lord Huaishu thought secretly: Since my father has gone to Wenhua Palace, I am afraid that he will not be able to return for a while. Coincidentally, Wang Han was here, and Zizhu said that he was very capable, so it was better to try him. Wang Han said: "County lord, you don't have any orders, the slave goes to work." Lord Huaishu said: "Slow! I'm going out of the palace to visit a friend, but it just so happens that Zizhu is not there, so you can go with me! Wang Han said: "Yes! The minion went to prepare the sedan chair. ”
The sedan chair stopped at a large mansion. Wang Han carefully helped the lord of Huaishu out of the sedan chair, and the master and servant paced to the gate. I saw that the gate was hidden. Wang Han pushed the door lightly, his left foot had already stepped into the threshold, and shouted inside, "Is there anyone?" He called out three times, but no one in the room responded.
Lord Huaishu said, "Let's go in and take a look!" The master and servant walked slowly, and soon there was a noise. The master and servant then walked away into the noise. Just after walking a dozen steps, a girl's voice came from the left side, "Who are you?" How do I trespass? ”
Wang Han smiled and said, "This sister has misunderstood, we are here to visit the owner of this house." I also hope that my sister will be accommodating. The maid seemed to be younger than Wang Han, but Wang Han said "sister" on the left and "sister" on the right, and called her happy. Deng Shi was not so serious, and his tone was much softer, and he said: "It's really unfortunate that you have come, early this morning, a group of people who practice dancing almost did not break through the gate. It's a mess inside. Our master is so busy that I'm afraid I don't have time to greet the two of you. ”
The maid had already intended to chase away the guests, although she did not say it explicitly, but hoped that the visitors would leave on their own. Wang Han said: "Our master made a special trip to visit the master here. Just want to see the previous side and be satisfied. Please pass it on to my sister and forgive your sins! Forgiveness! The maid hesitated and said, "You report your name, and I will pass it on." However, I can't guarantee that my master will be able to see the two of you. Lord Huai Shu said: "You just said that Huai Shu asked to visit." The maid said, "Okay." Wait here for a moment. ”
Soon, a crisp and pleasant voice came: "Yo! Why didn't you say it earlier when my sister came. While speaking, a beautiful woman in her thirties walked over, saw her smile on her face, grabbed the hand of the county lord of Huaishu, and said, "What are you still doing standing, go in and sit!" Lord Huaishu walked with Na Liren and said, "I made a special trip to thank Sister Li today." ”
It turns out that this beauty's name is Li Yunsheng, and she is the first singer in the capital. No one knows anyone within a radius of hundreds of miles from the capital, and even people from Huguang, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang also come to visit. Her dancing posture is beautiful, which can be called a must, and it is only because of her age that she is placed in the house to teach her apprentices. Lord Huaishu learned a good dance from her.
Li Yunshang took the county lord Huaishu and went straight to the backyard. As she walked, she said, "It's noisy in the hall, let's go to the backyard house and sit down." Lord Huai Shu said: "Are you a dancer again?" Li Yunshang nodded and said, "It's not!" Early in the morning, thirty or forty people came to learn the arts. If you think about it, so many people are still in a mess when they rush away. It makes my head spin. ”
Lord Huaishu smiled: "Isn't there a housekeeper in the house?" Li Yunshang sighed: "Stop! We can't compare to you royal children. What kind of housekeeper do you have for a small house. I've worked hard to count myself! ”
Before I knew it, I came to a room in the backyard and sat down. Li Yunshang said: "Sister, you sit down, I'll make a pot of tea." Lord Huaishu grabbed her and said, "Tell the maid to make it." Li Yunshang said with a smile: "Good sister, I only have two or three maids, and they are all in the hall to greet guests." Can't you call the little guy? Sit down, I'll come! Lord Huai Shu said: "It's better to let my people brew it!" ”
Li Yunshang saw Wang Han's yin and yang weirdness, dressed as a eunuch in the palace, and said busily: "How dare you work for your father-in-law." Wang Han smiled and said: "Sister Li, don't see outside, you accompany the master, and I'll make the same." With that, he went out of the room to make tea. Li Yunshang was about to tell him where to make tea, but when he saw that Wang Han had left, he had to give up.
Lord Huai Shu smiled: "Sister Li carefully taught me a peerless dance, and my father likes it so much." If you hadn't told me not to say that it was you who taught, I would have said it. Let the Father reward you. Li Yunshang said with a smile: "Sister, you have excellent understanding, and you are naturally beautiful, you can't dance well, who in the world can dance well!" Not only can you learn it, but you also have filial piety, so it's no wonder that the prince doesn't like it. Lord Huai Shu said: "Hello Master! The apprentice won't be bad! Li Yunshang shook his hand and smiled: "Don't dare to be!" Don't dare to be! ”
Wang Han came in with tea, and the fragrant jasmine tea poured out, which was refreshing. Li Yunshang said: "This is a good tea that I brought from Nanjing, and I originally planned to make it for my sister, but I don't want my father-in-law to have an insight into the opportunity, and he is worthy of being a person waiting for the royal family." "Lord Huaishu took a sip, and the fruit was elegant, worthy of the best tea.
Li Yunshang said: "Is it delicious?" Lord Huai Shu said: "The aftertaste is endless. Li Yunshang said: "I also think it's okay." Next time I go to Nanjing, I will bring you some good tea. Lord Huaishu smiled: "Then I'm disrespectful!" The two looked at each other and smiled.
Lord Huaishu took another sip of tea and said, "Why did my sister go to Nanjing?" Li Yunshang said: "The proprietress of Nanjing Yurong Hall has a relationship with me. She has a large number of Jiangnan beauties in her hands, and she wants me to go over to teach singing and dancing, and I plan to leave for Nanjing when I teach these apprentices today. Lord Huaishu asked, "How can there be so many women in Yurong Hall?" Li Yunshang said: "Yurong Hall is the most magnificent and luxurious green building on the Qinhuai River. ”
Huai Shujun said: "Qinglou? Li Yunshang said: "It's not good to speak for a while, after all, the other party is a member of the royal family, and it seems indecent to say such a Fengyue place, and I can't hold it on my face." She gestured to Wang Han, who was standing behind the county lord of Huaishu. Wang Han understood, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Master, the Qinglou is a place for dancing girls to show their dancing postures. Lord Huai Shu said, "Really? Can I go there and dance! Wang Han and Li Yunshang said in unison: "It's best not to go!" Lord Huai Shu said: "Why? ”
