A burst of rings and incense. A group of young girls arrived. Dance to the sound of melodious music. Wang Shuqiu is particularly dazzling among these twenty or thirty dancers. Although she is dressed like other dancers. After the dance, Wei Yunhai pointed at Wang Shuqiu and said, "You stay!" Wang Shuqiu stood in response.

Wei Yunhai said: "I didn't expect there to be such a tall beauty in the land south of the Yangtze River!" Ji Yizhi echoed: "This is all thanks to the blessings of a few adults, and I can see the stunning beauty in the future." Wei Yunhai asked, "What's your name?" Wang Shuqiu lowered her hand and said: "The folk girl Mengxiang knocks on the adult!" Wei Yunhai said: "Are you a local?" Wang Shuqiu groaned: "The people's daughter is from Yangzhou." Tao Jue said: "Yangzhou is the land of fireworks, and it is not surprising that there are beautiful women." But there are very few such wonderful beauties! Qi Hanchun said with a smile: "This woman is like a sweaty horse in a good horse." It's hard to find! ”

Ji Yizhi said with a smile on the side: "Since several adults like it, it is better to ask her to dance alone." Wei Yunhai nodded and said, "Very good!" Ji Yizhi pointed at Wang Shuqiu and said, "You dance a song to help the adults wash the dust." If you dance well, the old man will definitely reward him. ”

Wang Shuqiu danced a song "Xi Shi Offering Peaches", portraying Xi Shi's cheeky state very well, as if Xi Shi reappeared in the world and offered peaches to everyone. The dancers are in a variety of postures, smelling and flying. The three Beijing officials nodded again and again, admiring. Ji Yizhi was secretly happy in his heart: being able to win the laughter of the Beijing officials was his biggest original intention. At the same time, he secretly planned how to get Wang Shuqiu in his hands, and use her to please more bureaucrats in the future to expand his business future.

Wang Shuqiu finished dancing solo and won full applause. Amid the applause of the crowd, she withdrew. Li Yunshang walked over and pointed up: "It seems that you will be the number one dancer in the Central Plains in the near future." Wang Shuqiu smiled and said, "Sister Li, don't make fun of me." Li Yunshang said: "I don't want to make fun of my sister in the slightest, I can give full play to the dance I have studied, you are the first person." Wang Shuqiu said humbly: "In the future, I will need more guidance from Sister Li!" ”

"Don't be modest, one teaches well, and the other learns well!" I saw He Sufang coming over with a smile. Because she received a reward of Ji Yizhi on behalf of Wang Shuqiu, of course, all of them fell into her pocket. Thinking that Wang Shuqiu just danced, he not only won fame, but also made a fortune, and even won the favor of the rich in Nanjing. It is conceivable that as long as Wang Shuqiu is willing to be a red card in Yurongtang, the money is unlimited. When He Sufang thought of this, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Hao rushed over and said, "Master Ji wants Mengxiang to accompany the wine, and said that as long as you go, you will be rewarded with 2,000 taels of silver." He Sufang hurriedly said: "Go, go, go!" Why not! Mengxiang, go with Xiaohao. Wang Shuqiu was a little reluctant. Li Yunshang nodded to her. In desperation, she had no choice but to accompany Xiaohao and those bureaucrats and rich people to drink.

Ji Yizhi pointed to a seat and said, "Hurry up and sit next to Master Wei!" Wang Shuqiu had no choice but to sit down. Wei Yunhai said: "Can Miss Mengxiang drink?" Wang Shuqiu said: "The little girl will only drink a little." Wei Yunhai said: "It's good to drink!" Then he handed over the wine to Wang Shuqiu. She took it and drank it slowly. This is not as good as drinking indiscriminately on the painting boat, at this moment, the people in the garden are still people with heads and faces, in case they get drunk, it can be very inappropriate to accidentally offend others. It's better to drink less.

Wei Yunhai and the others clapped their hands and said, "Miss Mengxiang has a good amount of alcohol!" Wang Shuqiu covered her lips with her sleeves and said, "Let the adults laugh!" Wei Yunhai said: "Can Miss Mengxiang still drink?" Wang Shuqiu shook her head slightly and said, "The little woman is not strong enough to drink, I hope the adults will understand." She shook her head, her head shaking with a soft jingling sound, crisp.

Looking at a beautieth beauty, Wei Yunhai didn't want her to get drunk. He smiled and said: "Today is worth the trip, a glimpse of the beauty of Jiangnan." Brother Ji, I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful woman hidden in your house, and you can't think about it. Ji Yizhi said with a smile: "Since Lord Wei loves her so much, it is better to give her to Lord Wei in the future." Wei Yunhai shook his hand and said, "No, no!" Qi Hanchun, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Even if Lord Wei wants to, the tigress at home is not dependent." The words made everyone laugh.

Wang Shuqiu was a little annoyed, this plan relied on her own money, and she didn't treat her as a person, but gave her here and that as an item. Anyway, she used to be a county lord and had a noble status. I was very frustrated and helpless to be so humiliated by this group of Xiaoxiao.

Wang Shuqiu sat among the so-called dignitaries, feeling bored, and wanted to leave but couldn't. It's not easy to end. She was about to leave, but He Sufang said that Master Ji would reward her personally, and she had no choice but to wait. It wasn't until Ji Yizhi sent all the dignitaries and dignitaries away in person that he called Wang Shuqiu and waited in the back hall.

Ji Yizhi sipped tea and said, "Boss He, I'll talk to you about a deal." He Sufang was flattered and said, "Ouch! Who is the villain, and how can he do business with the old man! Ji Yizhi said: "Don't talk to the old man." Let's open the skylight and say something. How much is Miss Mengxiang worth? Wang Shuqiu's heart was pinched, Ji Yizhi actually wanted to buy her, and also offered a price in front of herself, just like a commodity.

He Sufang thought to herself: This is more difficult to mess with than Fan Zhengjun, this person is not only one of the richest people in Jiangnan, but also has deep contacts with officialdom, whether it is officials in Liangjing or other places in Jiangnan, and his sons hold official positions in Liangjing and local governments. If you offend him, you really don't want to mix in Jiangnan, let alone the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.

Ji Yizhi stroked the jade spot finger on his finger and said slowly: "How is it!" He Sufang hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't make fun of the old woman." What is not priced, you can say as much as you want! Ji Yizhi pointed at her and said with a smile: "You want me to buy something from you." Okay, okay, I'll make a price. ”

After a little contemplation, he said: "Miss Mengxiang is the best in the world, and she is versatile, I will buy her for 500,000 taels." When He Sufang heard this, her eyebrows fluttered with joy, and she hurriedly danced and said: "Master Ji, you really know the goods, the old woman has served you!" Ji Yizhi said: "You go to the account office to get the silver ticket, and then draw a pledge." He Sufang bowed down and smiled: "The old woman says goodbye!" He also said: "Mengxiang, I will serve Master Ji well in the future." ”

Wang Shuqiu secretly snorted towards He Sufang's back. Ji Yizhi said: "Mengxiang, this will be your home in the future." Wang Shuqiu sighed secretly, jumping from one fire pit to another, not knowing when it would be the end.

Ji Yizhi said: "Mengxiang, your dance was taught by Li Yunsheng?" Wang Shuqiu nodded and said, "Yes." Ji Yizhi said: "This Li Yunshang used to be known as the 'dancing fairy', as long as you practice hard, your achievements will definitely be above her." Okay, I'll hire her to teach you alone. A trace of comfort flashed in Wang Shuqiu's heart, after all, she still had a friend by her side.

Wang Shuqiu was arranged in a luxurious room surrounded by sandalwood, and a little maid named Cuifeng served her. After dinner, Wang Shuqiu saw that there was a crowd outside the door, so she asked Cuifeng, who said with a smile: "Those are maids outside the door, but they are here to see what the people who the master bought back for 500,000 taels of silver look like." When Wang Shuqiu heard this, she was a little annoyed in her heart, those subordinates actually regarded themselves as monsters. Then he asked, "What about your master?" Cuifeng said: "The master chartered two painting boats to welcome guests, I'm afraid I won't return tonight." Wang Shuqiu said secretly: Rich people like to spend time drinking and enjoying themselves.

It didn't take long for her to fall asleep after bathing. This night, Wang Shuqiu slept sweetly, and if it wasn't for Cuifeng to urge her, she wouldn't wake up. The gargling has been completed, and it was too early, Wang Shuqiu came with Cuifeng to see Ji Yizhi. I saw that Ji Yizhi was already sitting upright, and Li Yunshang was sitting at the bottom. When Li Yunshang saw Wang Shuqiu coming, she hurriedly stood with a smile to greet her.

Wang Shuqiu bowed her head and signaled to Li Yunsheng, and then gave Ji Yizhi a blessing. Ji Yizhi said: "How did you sleep last night?" Are you used to it? Wang Shuqiu nodded slightly and said, "It's okay!" Ji Yizhi said with a smile: "Just get used to it, in the future, you will be at ease here, and the old man will definitely train you to be the number one dancer in the world." Let the world see, I count a certain rare treasure. Li Yunsheng, you have to teach it well, Mengxiang is a material that can be made. Li Yunshang bowed down and said, "I must live up to the trust of Master Ji." Ji Yizhi laughed and said, "That's very good! Wang Shuqiu winked at Li Yunsheng, Li Yunshang understood, stepped forward and smiled: "If Master Ji doesn't have any instructions, the concubine will take Mengxiang down to practice." Ji Yizhi waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”
