Chapter 463: Daming Fenghua 5
"Her name is Catherine, she is twenty-eight years old, she is beautiful and beautiful, and she is peerless." The lady introduced to the crowd, "We Xiaoxiangyuan have cultivated her for more than ten years, and we have carefully cultivated her since she was a child. ”
"Now she is successful in learning, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Cultivated from an early age?
Also cultivated for more than ten years?
More than ten years ago, it was still the Yuan Dynasty.
It has been less than half a year since the Ming Dynasty opened the sea.
To find her in distant Britain, or to go abroad to make a living in the Ming Dynasty, the benchmark of contemporary civilization, is estimated to be in the last month. Xiaoxiangyuan didn't know what method to use, recruited her to the banner, gave her a surprise tutoring Chinese, and then declared that she was proficient in Han culture, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which was too high.
But because they heard that she was a beauty, the crowd didn't care about these details at all.
Anyway, these are the usual means used in Fengyue places.
"Tonight, Miss Catherine's first pick-up." The noble lady continued, "Whoever can win the first place in the Western beauty here will have to show your best. ”
"Let her come out, we can't wait." As soon as the words fell, a boy shouted loudly.
"Let's see if she's pretty first." A fat man is a rich businessman.
"That's right! Let's see if she's worth the high price. "There is another humane.
"Since she is an Oiran and is extremely beautiful, there must be no doubt about it." Another humane, "And it's different from the beauty of the East, it's the beauty of the West, it's very special." ”
"Get her out!"
"Let's open our eyes too."
The crowd said.
"Miss Catherine, please!" Seeing that the crowd was so eager, the old bustard smiled and gave an order to the inside. The momentum effect has been achieved, and the crowd is trying to get a sense of freshness.
Soon, with the support of a maid, a Western beauty walked out.
The Western girl has long blonde hair, deep eyes as if she can't see the bottom, and her height is much taller than that of the Oriental woman. For the time being, I couldn't see her face clearly, because she had a white veil over her face.
However, it can be seen from the exposed eyebrows that the appearance must be exquisite.
Don't show us looks?
The crowd was dumbfounded.
But everyone is used to it, and the boss of Fengyue Place likes to be mysterious.
Soon, the Western girl began to perform, slightly lifted the corner of the veil, and then played a very special instrument. Suddenly, the melodious sound of the flute echoed in the cabin.
She protected herself very well, but the crowd still couldn't see her face clearly.
She has been here for too short a time, and she will definitely not be able to learn to play the Chinese 'guqin'.
"What a strange instrument?"
"Could it be that the horse-head fiddle, which is similar to Meng Yuan, is a unique instrument in Britain?"
Seeing this, the crowd speculated.
"Brother Changle, you have been wandering on the flower boats on the banks of the Qinhuai River all the year round, and you have seen many Western women, do you know what kind of musical instrument she plays?" Next to Qin Yu, a pair of talented people were talking there, and one of them asked the other.
"I haven't seen it!" Brother Chang Le next to him replied very simply.
"Mr. Qin, do you know?" Lu Dayou also asked Qin Yu in a low voice. In his and Lu Daxin's minds, Qin Yu is a pedantic celestial, a god-like existence who knows everything.
"It's a Scottish bagpipe." Qin Yu replied casually.
As soon as the words fell, they caused the two of them to look sideways just now.
"Where's the pretending to be Nima?" Brother Chang Le scolded directly.
"A peasant from a poor rural area, it is estimated that he has never even gone out of the county seat before, can he know things in Britain?" The other person had a look of disdain, "He should have made it up, we ignore him." ”
So the two of them ignored it, shook their heads, and pretended to be immersed in the music.
Qin Yu knew that they were definitely pretending, in order to leave a good impression on the beauty.
Because of cultural differences and Western music, it is difficult for Orientals to appreciate the beauty in a short period of time. Otherwise, when she was playing just now, there wouldn't be so many people whispering below.
"Sir, it's really strange that this British beauty has blonde hair." Lu Dayou sighed.
"And the eyes are still blue, just like the eyes of the tanuki cat at home." Lu Daxin also followed, "To be honest, I can take a look at the freshness today, and it is worth spending ten taels of silver." ”
"Sir, have you ever seen a Britannia before?" Lu Dayou asked.
"See you often." Qin Yu said, "I've been to Britain before. ”
????
Still loading? When the two people next to them heard this, they couldn't help but freeze, and Brother Chang Le turned his head and cast a look of disgust at him.
Soon, Catherine finished playing the song. Britain's music now is only short songs. Then she began to perform a Western dance again, and inadvertently, her veil fell off once,
Then I hurriedly put it on again.
Obviously, this action is also carefully choreographed.
At this frightening glance, the crowd finally saw her face clearly.
Sure enough, it is extremely beautiful, just like the Western elves.
Although it is a different beauty from the East, the 'beauty' is such a thing as a figure-out, and the crowd can't help but marvel at its peerless appearance. I was so excited that I made up my mind that I was going to come out on top tonight,
Win the beauty for the first time!
In Qin Yu's words, her facial features are extremely three-dimensional, like white jade finely carved.
Like the legendary Angel of the West.
In order to better cater to the customers of the Ming Dynasty, the Flower Boat Chamber of Commerce will also choose the ones that meet the oriental aesthetics when selecting beauties. In other words, this oiran conforms to both Eastern and Western aesthetics.
"It's beautiful!" Lu Dayou and Lu Daxin's jaws dropped at the same time,
"And her beauty is completely different from that of Oriental beauties." Lu Dayou said, "As for where the beauty is, I can't tell." To put it simply, he's running out of words.
The beauty of oriental beauties can be described by common adjectives such as gentle, delicate, slender, and picturesque, while the beauty of western beauties cannot be used by any of these commonly used adjectives.
Because I see so little,
Therefore, don't talk about them, even some of the self-proclaimed 'talented' sons and brothers present couldn't find suitable adjectives.
"Now, the guests have an idea of Miss Catherine's 'talent'." At this time, the old bustard stood up again and said to the crowd, "And who can get the favor of the beautiful woman next depends on your ability." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, whether she wants money or talent, tell everyone clearly." A wealthy businessman with a big belly said impatiently.
"Yes, what do we need to do to spend the night with this Western beauty!"
"Say it quickly, don't waste everyone's time!"
For a moment, there was a commotion in the entire cabin.
