Wearing a plain white gown, it was a bit dazzling.
She casually wears a fringed bun, with hibiscus in her hair, swaying with warm jade, lightly sweeping her brows with spring eyes, and wearing a white tulle on her face, which lightly covers half of her face, but she still looks aloof. A sense of coolness.
Slender jade fingers plucked the strings, and the sleeves complemented the aqua blue guzheng.
Her skin is like gelatin, and her jade fingers play an unknown tune like flowing clouds and flowing water.
The sleeves flutter like dancing, as if butterfly wings are trembling, and the tune gradually reaches an impossible high, like a phoenix singing softly, pearls falling on a jade plate, the song is free, like silk, like mist, like smoke like rain.
Noble yet elegant.
As Miss Shuyu played, the guests in the room couldn't help but follow the sound of the playing, shaking their heads slightly, with enjoyment in their eyes.
Listening to Lady Shuyu's playing.
It is said that the ancients did not understand entertainment, but modern people really do not understand entertainment.
But the music is much better than the noisy sounds of later generations.
The light rain is gurgling outside the window, and the music of the piano is melodious inside.
In the wine house, the occasional thunderclap of the charcoal fire became the only sound besides the sound of the piano in the room. Although it seemed a little noisier, it blended inexplicably with the sound of the piano, adding a different touch. artistic conception.
Zhao Ding and Huangfutai quietly found a place and sat down.
The maid in the room bent over and brought up two bottles of sake and several plates of elegant dishes to go with the wine. She made a gesture of invitation. After Zhao Ding and Huangfu Tai nodded slightly, they continued to bow and retreat.
The whole process is focused on purity and elegance.
It exudes an "expensive" atmosphere all the time.
When the song ended, the sound of the piano still echoed endlessly.
Wow!
There was a rain of applause.
Even Zhao Ding couldn't help but applaud.
"Brother, do you like Miss Blooming Snow?"
Huangfutai came over and asked in a low voice.
"Appreciate, appreciate."
Zhao Ding laughed and said.
Listening to Zhao Ding's words, Huangfutai smiled again and said, "If Brother Clan likes it, I have some relationship with Qinghefang's mother. Maybe I can introduce her to Brother Clan?"
Zhao Ding frowned and couldn't help but take another look at Huangfu Terrace.
Did this guy figure out my identity?
Unconsciously, he took another look at what he was wearing at the moment. Although it could be regarded as a rich and luxurious dress, it was just the normal dress of a scholar from a wealthy family. From this alone, it seemed that nothing could be discerned.
But this courtesy made Zhao Ding a little curious.
"Brother Huangfu, this lady in this book is the signature of Qinghefang. I'm afraid it would be against the rules to meet her in private."
Zhao Ding refused with a haha.
In fact, it is another kind of temptation.
The Lady in Shuyu is the signature of the brothel, and because of the nature of performing arts without selling one's body, the money spent on meeting her in private is no less than the money spent on sleeping with an oiran in Jiaofangsi.
After spending so much money when we first met, as long as this Huangfutai is not taken advantage of, he must have other plans. And after all the contacts, it is obvious that this Huangfutai is not taken advantage of.
On the contrary, it always reveals a sense of shrewdness.
"As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine is too little to meet a close friend, and half a sentence is enough to talk without speculation. My clan brother and I met in Yingtian City, and after some contact, we had a very happy conversation. Under this condition, we naturally want to be beautiful as adults."
Huangfutai stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
"Oh, is it so?"
Zhao Ding pretended to groan, but did not continue.
Since the other party doesn't want to talk, it's better to stop talking.
And as the two talked.
Madam Shuyu also bowed to express her gratitude to everyone for their applause.
But Huangfutai couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ding.
For some reason, the more he looked at Zhao Ding, the more familiar he felt.
Especially the one from Youzhou.
As far as he knew, the man from Youzhou seemed to have entered Beijing recently.
When his Huangfu family does business in Yanzhou, most of the business involves getting goods from Youzhou and then reselling them.
If the person in front of me is really the person from Youzhou.
Huangfutai just smashed all his money, so he was naturally happy.
However, seeing that Zhao Ding did not continue the conversation, Huangfutai naturally did not continue to ask further questions.
And as the song "The Lady in the Book" ends, what follows is the most favorite interactive session for the guests (L) and the guests (S) (P).
Lady Shuyu serves as the hostess of the banquet, which is actually also called the Lingguan. The Lingguan is responsible for presiding over the drinking orders and is responsible for the atmosphere at the banquet.
This life in other brothels is basically performed by famous prostitutes or courtesans. Ordinary women cannot do this because the requirements for literary literacy are extremely high.
In Qinghefang, it is natural that the lady of Shuyu will act.
In fact, it can be regarded as another kind of welfare and a means of attracting customers.
After all, in terms of "sperm-absorbing" ability, Shuyu is much more capable of "sperm-absorbing" than Chang San, and it is also the sign that the mothers of major brothels spend the most money to create.
(Note: no typos here!)
Therefore, every time the ladies in Shuyu serve as hostesses, it is also the time when the brothel attracts the most money.
As the saying goes, when hormones are at their peak, they are also at their least rational.
So, when Madam Shuyu stood up slowly, walked off the piano stage and walked toward everyone.
The guests who were still able to control themselves and pretend to be gentlemen suddenly raised their heads one by one. Although they still tried hard to maintain the appearance of gentlemen, they could not help but raise their heads.
Spring has arrived, and it is a season of revival for all things!
Even Huangfu Terrace is not exempt from vulgarity.
After smiling at Zhao Ding, he couldn't help but raise his head.
But it's a pity that experienced hunters often appear as prey, so under the smile of Mrs. Shuyu that is half true and half false.
The extremely strong aura of male hormones revealed by the guests present as Lady Shuyu stood up was naturally ignored...
However, it was not very obvious. Under the white veil as thin as cicada wings, the pretty face that was 70% real and 30% hazy still showed a very professional and humble smile.
Ever since, in this case, the smell of male hormones in the wine house was once again ignited to another peak.
Look at it from Zhao Ding's perspective.
Although the lady in this book is extremely beautiful in the world, she is almost as beautiful as Xiao Yunu and that girl.
One reveals a cool and intellectual beauty, while the other is more arrogant and naive.
As for Xu Ruoyun?
Uh~~
I don’t understand, it’s hard to say…
Then, Madam Shuyu stood up and walked over. Under the leadership of the maid, Shi Shiran sat down.
The maid responsible for serving the lady in Shuyu also started her daily work.
Acting as the planner. The so-called planner is actually the person who starts a game, similar to the referee in the ring.
3!
2!
1!
begi
!
Um.
Made a mistake, try again!
is acti
g!
After the maid finished explaining the rules of today's game, Lady Shuyu also spoke slowly.
The voice is numb and sultry.
I have to say that the top card is the top card.
Compared with those in later generations who only knew: do it faster.
It's much more upscale.
Today's game is about connecting words, which is actually pairs.
After Lady Shuyu spoke, the middle-aged man wearing a light blue robe and a jade belt sat next to Zhao Ding.
When it was his turn, the middle-aged man raised his glass and pondered for a long time, then said: Ice-cold wine, one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock.
Lady Shuyu raised the small flag at her hand and commented (praisingly) on the first couplet.
The smile on the middle-aged man's face gradually widened, and he seemed to be quite satisfied.
This is the reason why Xi Jiu needs a famous prostitute with profound literary background to act as the role. Without any level of skill, ordinary prostitutes can't do it even if they want to.
It's a pity that Zhao Ding's mind is not here. He is more waiting for someone to connect with him.
What also makes him a little depressed is why no one has contacted him yet.
As the middle-aged man finished the first couplet, another young man dressed as a scholar in the room took a sip of wine and began to talk about the second couplet in a rhetorical manner.
Shuyu Niangzi continues to comment (praising)
This time it was the turn of the young man dressed as a scholar to smile gradually wider on his face.
As the two started the game, other people in the room also joined the "battle circle" one after another. Just like those creatures with male hormones bursting out on the African savannah in spring, when everything revives, they started to fight first. He sacrifices his literary qualities just to win a smile from a beautiful woman.
Only Zhao Ding and Huangfutai seemed a little out of place.
I had no idea, and it was also because I was a scumbag who had slipped through the nine-year compulsory education system. It was okay to copy two ancient poems, but I really couldn't do such a delicate job as a pair of poems.
However, compared to Zhao Ding who was okay and could exchange a few words, Huangfutai just kept drinking and drinking. It didn't take long for a big "red-crowned rooster" to appear in the wine shop for the first time.
It made the whole hall burst into laughter.
However, regarding this, Madam Shuyu also showed her extremely high quality as a professional "receptionist". She did not show any contempt for this, but instead repeatedly comforted her, saying that no one is perfect, and no matter who they are, they have their own side that they are not good at.
This time it's a game, just join in.
It also alleviated Huangfutai's embarrassment.
By the way, it also allowed Zhao Ding to fish with more peace of mind, waiting for the informant to appear or Zhang San's report.
Among the people present this time, a handsome young man wearing a sky-blue robe stood out the most.
According to his own introduction, he came from a well-known scholarly family in Yingtian City. His ancestors once won three yuans in a row. In this era, he is still from a famous scholarly family in Yingtian.
With the support of her family and her own talent, although she came to the table a little late, she still dominated the limelight with her outstanding talent, making Lady Shuyu cover her mouth and chuckle from time to time.
The young man in the azure robe picked up the wine, took a sip, and said loudly: "This time, I might as well do it first."
No one had an opinion.
Madam Xue Xueyu said with a smile: "Master Sun, please."
Mr. Sun looked around at the crowd and said, "A hungry chicken steals rice and a boy beats it with a can."
Listening to this couplet, Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows.
There is something.
Not only Zhao Ding, but everyone present frowned.
This couplet seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult and can be called absolute.
Because four nouns are used in this sentence-chicken, rice, boy, and tube.
One adjective "hungry" and two verbs - steal, beat, and extremely - briefly describe a life scene, such as being hungry and panicking, a chicken stealing grain, and a child chasing him with a bamboo tube.
Moreover, these seven characters have three pairs of sounds: "hunger" and "chicken", "robber" and "rice", and "tong" and "tong".
Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult to match up.
For a moment, all the guests in the hotel frowned subconsciously.
Disaster.
How difficult!
And it’s not that difficult!
"When Mr. Sun made his move, it was such a difficult couplet. I'm not afraid of making you laugh. I'm just a shallow learner. I wanted to figure it out for a while, but I really couldn't."
"Brother Zhang is so humble. It's not only you who can't stand it, but also me. It's a homophony, a picture, and four words. It's really not simple."
"Brother Sun is a great talent, and he is worthy of being the successor to me, Bachelor Sun."
Everyone present lamented that after this round, no one could really match him.
Mr. Sun smiled calmly, but his expression was quite arrogant.
Xue Xue Shuyu's eyes were shining brightly as she stared at Mr. Sun.
Judging from her expression and subtle movements.
Lady Shuyu has a good impression of this man named Sun and appreciates his talent.
"Brother, can you match me? If not, we will really miss this lady in Shuyu today."
Huangfutai looked at Zhao Ding anxiously.
"hehe...."
Zhao Ding smiled awkwardly.
If he was composing poetry, he could still show off.
But this really stumped him a bit.
In fact, during the tea party in this brothel, the poetry has always been lukewarm.
The reason for this is mainly because Da Qian built his country by force, and the cultural context has been relatively weak since ancient times. In addition, in the past two hundred years, there have been very few excellent poems, and gradually scholars are no longer good at writing poems.
Therefore, when having tea party in this brothel, people who are not good at it will naturally be avoided.
The quality of the guests here tonight varies greatly, and they all have difficulty in making pairs, let alone seeking death.
In this regard, Lan Xinhuizhi's Shuyu Niangzi naturally did not mention poetry to avoid embarrassment and loss of face for the guests.
At this moment, outside the door, the maid brought another person over, but he just stood at the door and did not come in.
Zhao Ding looked up and saw that it was none other than Zhang San.
At this moment, Zhang San saw Zhao Ding raising his head and hurriedly waved to Zhao Ding.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ding quickly said something to Huangfutai beside him, then got up and walked out the door.
"Any news?"
Zhao Ding asked eagerly.
After staying in Qinghefang for so long and still only able to drink plain tea, he couldn't stay any longer.
"Yes, but not really."
Zhang San scratched his scalp awkwardly and looked at Zhao Ding hesitantly.
"What does it mean to be there and what does it mean to not have it?"
Zhao Ding was speechless.
"That man told me that as long as the prince meets Madam Xuanxue Shuyu in private, everything will be known."
The mother was so embarrassed that she even started playing dumb.
Zhao cursed calmly.
He couldn't help but glance at Lady Shuyu who was still sitting at the table.
"Okay, I understand, go down."
Zhao Ding thought for a moment and waved his hand, signaling Zhang San to step back.
Then he stood up again and walked to the banquet. He sat next to Huangfu Tai and asked, "Brother Clan just said that there is a way to meet Madam Shuyu in private. I wonder if this is true?"
"Brother, do you really want it?"
Huangfutai glanced at Zhao Ding with interest, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious.
However, Zhao Ding was too lazy to explain and could only nod his head and said: "Yes, yes, yes."
"Okay, okay, okay, then I'll think of a way."
Huangfutai gave Zhao Ding a reassuring look.
Then he stood up and walked outside the house.
Suddenly, only Zhao Ding, a group of guests, and Lady Shuyu were left in the room.
At this moment, Zhangxue Shuyu stood up Yingying, stroked her wrinkled long skirt, and said softly: "My little lady is a little tired, please leave first, and we can drink slowly."
Looking at this scene, Zhao Ding felt a little anxious.
But at the same time, the lady Shu Yu stood up, which also meant that the banquet was over.
According to the original process, if Lady Shuyu likes someone, she will ask her maid to keep him and bring him into the house.
Of course this is extremely unlikely.
Most of them ask the maid to hand over some tokens to show their approval.
After all, Shuyu really doesn’t sell himself.
The mystery of being on the market still needs to be maintained.
When meeting a strange man in private, it is inevitable that there will be some confusion.
But even getting a token is enough to make many people proud.
The next step will be to truly invite you into the audience.
It can be regarded as a short-term victory in this "journey to find love".
But in fact, it is just fishing for Kaizi.
As the court lady left, everyone waited with anticipation and anxiety.
Zhao Ding was also waiting there anxiously.
Time passed little by little, after half a stick of incense.
A maid came over.
"My wife invites Mr. Zhao into the house for tea!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was suddenly shocked.
Madam Shuyu, is this what you want?
Even after listening to the maid's words, Mr. Sun showed a look of shock on his face, and immediately a very obvious look of pride appeared in his eyes, like a victorious rooster, holding his head high and arrogantly looking down at the heroes present.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was envious, jealous, and felt unable to sit still.
Even Zhao Ding couldn't sit still.
