Zhao Yuanfei put the icing on the cake. He gritted his teeth and ordered a silver crane for Hengmei. Eight hundred taels was already more than his monthly expenses, but he didn't think too much about it at this moment.
Someone came on stage and whispered in Shi Nansheng's ear.
Shi Nansheng nodded and said loudly: "Since there are many gifts of treasures this round, I will explain them one by one after Lady Hengmei performs her performance."
"Ms. Hengmei, please."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "How about I write a poem on the spot?"
The audience responded in unison: "Okay."
This voice seems to be coaxing his little sister, and also seems to be following his good wife, everything goes as planned.
The stewards brought the books and eucalyptus to the stage, and prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Without any attendants, Hengmei unfolded the paper by himself, and saw the delicate hand caressing it, as if caressing everyone's hearts, soft and happy.
One stroke, one ink, one ruler.
A piece of paper, an inkstone, and silence.
Suddenly, this shy and timid woman became elegant, calm and restrained, just like the fragrance of ink splashed on the beautiful pear blossoms, both fresh and ink, beautiful and magnolia.
Holding the sleeve of the shirt with one hand, he gently polished it with his bare hands, not in a hurry or impatiently. Not thick, not listed.
With her graceful and gentle grinding movements, the fragrance of the ink seemed to flow and drift away.
Xie Fu remembered the past.
——Brother Shaodian, my hands are sore. Can I write again tomorrow?
——Brother Shaodii, I can’t stand it anymore. I can’t even open my eyes.
…
Mr. Xie couldn't help but smile. Thinking about it, he had a lot of treasures, books, and piano. He wanted to pay tribute to his old friend today.
Hengmei was concentrating on it, as if he were writing alone in a boudoir, when suddenly he heard an ouch and a little ink stained the white paper.
Everyone in the audience just felt that this "ouch" was so interesting that they couldn't help but imitate Hengmei's tone of voice and say "ouch", but it was very raw and not as clear-mouthed as Hengmei.
Seeing his eyebrows furrowed, everyone couldn't help but coax, "Ms. Hengmei, you're not in the way."
His eyebrows were raised and his heart-shaped lips curled up into a slight smile, not thinking of any good way to cover up the ink on the white paper.
Her complete self made everyone feel as if they had transformed into a ray of soul and came to her boudoir, quietly watching her natural state that was not visible to others.
Hengmei raises the pen and writes with ink, the pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and the beauty of running calligraphy flows among Suhao.
After putting down the pen, Shi Nansheng was the first to walk in and take a look. He immediately admired it: "It's not extravagant to express beauty. It's such a beautiful calligraphy. It can be called a gentleman."
Lady Hengmei wrote a song called "Full Moon", which contains two famous lines - things are precious when they are rare, and love is kind because of old age.
——Why should I be a man when I have something to hold in my arms?
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the calligraphy is indeed beautifully written. It is really rare for a female streamer to have such calligraphy.
It has reached the level of collecting overhangs.
Shi Nansheng was quite excited and said: "Hurry up and let everyone see, Madam Hengmei actually writes such good calligraphy."
Two maidservants came on stage, each holding an end, and displayed the words written on their eyebrows in front of everyone.
Voices of admiration came and went. Calligraphy is not a skill, but being able to write words to this level is definitely a skill.
Shi Nansheng praised: "I wonder which master of calligraphy did Ms. Hengmei learn from?"
Hengmei's calligraphy didn't come from any particular calligrapher, nor was he taught by a famous teacher.
If she wasn't credited with today's achievements, it was Shao Dian's brother who treated her like a donkey and trained her hard.
Suddenly I thought of my brother Shaodian, and my eyes showed a bit of tenderness, and I missed him very much.
Some people get along unknowingly, and after parting, they always make people realize that they are special. Brother Shaodian is the most dignified and upright. You don't have to worry about him peeking when you take off your clothes.
This is why she, Keqin, and Baoshu have always suspected that Shaodian's brother is a eunuch.
He responded softly: "I'm not learning from anyone, I just write a lot of words."
Shi Nansheng said: "Oh, it turns out that he worked hard and polished his pen into words, which is admirable."
Then he raised his hands and said, "Ms. Hengmei, can you sell this book to me?"
He smiled and said, "Mr. Shi, if you want it, I'll give it to you."
Shi Nansheng waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, no reward for no merit." As he said this, he began to think deeply: "Let's do this... auction this book on the spot, and the number of auctions will be used to make pearl flowers. What do you think?"
Shi Nansheng was obviously trying to lure Lady Hengmei.
It is not surprising that a woman can sing beautifully and dance beautifully, but it is really rare to be able to write such a free and elegant handwriting.
Hengmei responded readily: "Okay."
I was originally going to give a treasure to Lady Hengmei, but now I can get Lady Hengmei’s calligraphy treasure. It’s really killing two birds with one stone, and there are so many people who respond.
The auction price started from the first bid to Pegasus, and soon to Xuanwu.
Xuanwu is considered a high treasure, worth 1,500 pearls. This is also the first high treasure that appears tonight.
This price is already considered a sky-high price. There is no lack of wealth and wealth here, and there are not many people who can bid higher.
After being immersed in it for a while, Shi Nansheng asked loudly: "Is there anyone else who is taller?"
Shi Nansheng asked three times in a row, but no one responded. He originally thought that Shi Nansheng was going to announce the result, but unexpectedly, Shi Nansheng smiled calmly and said, "I will create a white tiger."
As soon as Shi Nansheng's words came out, there was a wave of noise, a white tiger!
That's three thousand taels, which is really a staggering amount of money.
Everyone was still shocked, but Shi Nansheng held up his hands and said with a smile: "I am determined to win Madam Hengmei's calligraphy treasure, so please be humble."
This is of course a modest statement. If you have already called me White Tiger, how can you call me anything else?
He bowed his eyebrows and left the stage.
After this round, Lady Hengmei’s number of flowers has increased to 8,000.
Lady Qinglian won the throne of oiran last year and received more than 12,000 pearls and flowers. Lady Hengmei is likely to be the oiran this year.
It's so unexpected, but also makes sense. The temperament of the Hengmei lady is so special and endearing.
Zhao Yuanfei laughed happily.
In contrast, Wu Jie looked very ugly and felt that he was destined to lose.
Shi Nansheng declared loudly: "Mr. Zhuang Weizhuang from Yashi gave Lady Chuzhuang a piece of Yapai."
Zhuang Wei? It's not a very famous name, but he is definitely not an ordinary person who can take pictures of elegant rooms. At least he has money.
Could it be Zhuang Wei from the banker? The banker is considered a prominent family member in Suzhou. There have been officials in his family for generations, but naturally he must not be as wealthy as the Four Clan of Wuzhong.
Although Zhuang Wei is not very famous, most of the people present are from the romantic world and are relatively well-informed about the romantic affairs. "Isn't Zhuang Wei the pretty boy raised by Miss Zhang Er?"
It is indeed disgraceful for a noble man from a distinguished family to be the pretty boy, but it is not shameful to be Miss Zhang Er's pretty boy, and it is also very touching to be counterattacked by Miss Zhang Er.
The four people beside the railing of the singing room had heard mention of Zhuang Wei, but in the end they all discussed Miss Zhang Er.
Lu Wenlin smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years. Miss Zhang is still as troublesome as when she was a child."
Zhang Lingxiao said: "No! She has grown up, is sensible, has her own ideas, and knows how to do serious things, but I would rather she be a wild and unruly young lady."
There is something in Zhang Lingxiao's words. He is not afraid of this girl doing bad things, but he is afraid of her doing serious things. Even the four clans in Wuzhong dare not easily interfere in the struggle between Xuanzong and Dizong.
If she were not careful, she would be doomed, and not even the Zhang family could save her.
As his biological brother, sometimes he wanted to take Ling Luo's chess piece back, but he couldn't make the decision, and Ling Luo might already be the head coach in this game.
Zhang Lingxiao looked at Fu Xie gently: "Brother Xie, as an uncle, you should take care of her more."
Lu Wenlin was shocked when he heard this. Zhang Lingxiao's words contained a lot of information.
First, Zhang Lingxiao asked Xie Fu for help, which means that the Zhang family will not interfere in the struggle between Xuanzong and Dizong. This is Zhang Lingluo's personal behavior.
Second, what does uncle mean? Xie Fu and Zhang Lingluo knew each other, and Lu Wenlin also knew it. However, the age difference between the two was no more than three years, so why did Xie Fu become Zhang Lingluo's uncle?
"Brother Xie, I never heard that Miss Zhang Er has an uncle named Xie."
Zhang Lingxiao explained on his behalf: "Brother Xie and my aunt are sworn brothers and sisters. Ling Luo is not allowed to call her uncle."
Xie Fu chuckled: "I told Ling Luo that everyone should call her uncle, but she insists on calling her uncle, and I can't help it."
Zhang Lingxiao smiled: "That's good, it looks close."
Lu Wenlin asked curiously: "What's going on?" You must know that Xie Fuke and Aunt Zhang's family are at odds with each other.
Xie Fu simply said that he met Zhang Yizhen while fighting the epidemic in Wuxi, and they became sworn brothers with different surnames during the adversity.
Lu Wenlin and Zhang Lingxiao suddenly said "oh" and thanked Fu with their fingers: "So it's you!"
Lu Wenlin smiled slightly and said, "Did you do that bad thing in Wuxi?"
Xie Fu smiled but did not answer.
Zhang Lingxiao said thoughtfully: "It should be said that it is a good thing."
Although they were already familiar with each other, Lu Wenlin and Zhang Lingxiao still cupped their hands and said, "I admire you! I admire you!"
Lu Wuyuan was completely confused when a burst of noise came, but it was Lingbo Wu and Luo Chuzhuang who came on stage.
Looking over, I saw Luo Chuzhuang wearing a dark Confucian robe with wide sleeves, a man with a sword hairpin in his bun, and cloud shoes on his feet.
The wide sleeves of her Confucian clothes obscured her beautiful figure, so at first glance, she looked like a thorough Confucian prince.
A woman with fair skin and delicate eyebrows, dressed in men's clothing, is more worthy of the four words "like a crown jade" than a handsome man. This is a natural advantage.
But at the same time, the femininity is too obvious, and the muscles and bones cannot be separated from that of a woman, lacking the heroic temperament of a man.
But Luo Chuzhuang's eyes were as bright as a star, and her temperament was as bright as Chen Ning's, just like when Pan An was alive, he reduced all the handsome young men in the audience to scum.
Zhang Lingxiao joked: "Wen Lin, I'm afraid you, the most beautiful man in Suzhou, are going to change hands."
Lu Wenlin smiled and didn't care, but looked at Xie Fu gently. The word "beautiful man" was worthless in front of some women, such as Wang Wanzhi.
But Fu Xie knew what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Wen Lin, no matter what you look at me doing, you can't compare to me, so naturally I can't be ranked."
Zhang Lingxiao said displeased: "You two are first-class handsome men. Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Although Zhang Lingxiao is handsome, he is not at the level of a peerless handsome man like Lu Wenlin.
Xie Fu said: "I once saw a person. When it comes to women dressing up as men, Luo Chuzhuang at this moment ranks second in front of her."
Zhang Lingxiao yelled: "Who is it?"
