"Happy son!"
Three slim and skinny Yangzhou thin horses walked in and bowed in a graceful manner. They regarded thinness as beauty, and they were slim and frail. Every frown and smile showed their softness, their footsteps were light and silent, and their eyes were full of love and soul-stirring.
Wang Rengao couldn't bear the affectionate gaze of the thin beauty, so he responded with a burning gaze.
"I bought these girls from my grandmother. They have just been trained and they are very good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Are you two gentlemen satisfied?" Seeing Wang Rengao's greedy eyes, Zhang's mother smiled.
Jiang Yi didn't like this tune. He was fat and didn't like those who were too thin. He immediately curled his lips and said, "It's too thin and can be blown down by the wind. It's not good. I'd better call Chunhua and Qiuyue to come out."
".
Seeing that Wang Rengao was a little disappointed, Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Good brother, don't be impatient, good fun always comes later."
Mother Zhang left in response, and two girls, Pingting, about seventeen or eighteen years old, came in a moment.
A woman is wearing a white shirt, she is graceful and has a bookish air. She really says "if you want to be pretty, just say filial piety".
Wang Rengao noticed that she was holding a spreading fan in her hand. This fan is also known as a folding fan, which "folds when closed and spreads when used". It is similar to the folding fans of later generations. In this era, it was a fashionable thing. At first,
Women from good families all use round fans, but prostitutes use spreading fans. But gradually, everyone found that this kind of spreading fans is both beautiful and practical, and women from good families also started to use it. They couldn't help but nod, the girls in this building are more beautiful than "stand off"
"Girls with more tricks.
The other girl wears a beaded hoop and pink clothes, with her temples in a bun, looking soft and charming.
Wang Rengao noticed that the woman was wearing a ponytail skirt, with the lining spread out from the waist down, like an open umbrella. This skirt was introduced from Korea. It was originally a petticoat worn by Korean men. It was improved by tailors in brothels.
, the dress is exquisite and unique, and gradually became popular. Even the officials of the Ming Dynasty wore it. "The officials in the court wear more clothes." I sighed again, no wonder the girls in this building charge high fees, just with this outfit,
It is not comparable to the girls who are "standing off".
"Chunhua has seen the two young masters, and the young masters are blessed."
"Qiuyue has met the two young masters, and I wish you good luck."
The spring oriole's first chirping, soft and waxy, reached Wang Rangao's ears. As if hearing the fairy voice, his face suddenly turned red and his ears turned red.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Yi asked: "My dear brother, this girl Chunhua is good at playing the flute and the zither, and this girl Qiuyue is a master of Kun Opera. How about letting them play and sing a song to cheer you up?"
Wang Rengao was overjoyed and said, "It all depends on my brother's arrangement."
Jiang Yi laughed loudly and said to the two girls: "My brother is going to Beihai to take the exam tomorrow. You two will serve him well. If you can let him return home happily, I will be richly rewarded!"
The waiters served special wines and dishes. The food in this building is much more exquisite than in the tavern outside. The steamed eggplant dish alone has seven ingredients. Anyone in this industry understands: if you want to retain the customer's heart, you must first
Serve your guests’ stomachs well.
The two girls bowed and began to play and sing.
There were banquets and stringed music, flutes and zithers, and performances in the opera house. The sound lasted for nine nights, and then it turned into a clear and unique show, otherworldly.
"The golden knife is as bright as snow, and it still shines on the dark clouds to reflect the melancholy moon. It is difficult to explain all the hardships, and we all command our green hair to grow together." Qiuyue girl sang vigorously and gracefully, which was clearly a libretto from the Kun Opera "Pipa Ji".<
/p>
"Okay!"
Wang Rengao clenched his palms and applauded until his palms turned red. He suddenly lamented again, "It's a pity that I have to go far away tomorrow to the bitter and cold land of Beihai. It's difficult to hear this fairy music again!"
Jiang Yi burped from wine and said drunkenly: "Brother Xiang, I am not telling you this because you are just taking a test. Why do you have to go so far to Beihai? Wouldn't it be better to stay in Nanzhili and take the test?"
"Oh, brother, I have little talent and little knowledge. Nanzhili has a prosperous literary style and a limited quota. How can I win? If I have the talents of my brother, I would naturally stay in Nanzhili and take the exam." Wang Rengao's words were actually polite. He was
You know, Jiang Yi's talents are not as good as mine, and I don't know where he got the confidence to stay in Nanzhili to take the exam.
"Brother Yu, please don't compliment me. Brother Yu is a genius." Jiang Yi was so happy that he couldn't help but say, "There are many ways to win the exam? Why do you have to pretend to be a foreigner and go to the ice and snow to take the scientific examination?"
p>
"Oh, brother, what's a good way to win without leaving Nanzhili?"
"Hey, this is not easy. Just find a way to get the test questions!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the poppy building. Even Chunhua and Qiuyue, who were playing and singing, trembled. However, after all, they had experienced two years of love and had experienced a lot, and they soon looked at ease.
Continue playing and singing "Pipa Ji".
"It's a joke. Brother Yu said it was a joke. Hahaha." Jiang Yi knew he had made a mistake and quickly made a hahaha.
"It doesn't matter, we brothers, what kind of joke can't we make? Hahaha." Wang Rengao rolled his eyes and laughed loudly.
After playing the song "Pipa Ji", listening to a few ditties, and drinking some wine, Jiang Yi and Wang Rengao were already tipsy, so one picked spring flowers and the other picked autumn moon, ready to enjoy the lingering and charming scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.<
/p>
"You two girls, please go to the boudoir for a while. My brother and I will talk about some things and will be back in a moment." Wang Rengao suddenly waved his hand, waving back the spring flowers and driving away the autumn moon.
"Yes!"
The two women's faces turned red, they bowed politely and left.
As soon as they left, Wang Rengao quickly walked to the door of the room. Seeing that there was no one outside, he hurried back to the house and closed the doors and windows tightly.
"Brother, why are you doing this?" Jiang Yi asked in surprise.
"Brother, are you and I family friends for generations?" Wang Rengao looked directly into Jiang Yi's eyes and asked.
"That's natural. Everyone in Yangzhou City knows: the river cannot leave the Wang, and the Wang cannot leave the Jiang."
"Have you and I grown up together and are closer than brothers?"
"That's natural. My dear brother and I are not brothers, but we are better than brothers."
"Since we are brothers, we should share blessings and share difficulties. Since you already know the test questions, why don't you tell me? Don't you think of me as a brother?" Wang Rangao choked up and his eyes were a little red.
p>
"This", Jiang Yi smiled bitterly, "Brother Xian is worrying too much. It's not that Brother Fool doesn't want to share it with Brother Xian. It's just that the matter is too involved. Once it is leaked, I don't know how many heads will fall."
"Brother is worried that after knowing the test questions, the younger brother will leak the news and harm him? My brother and I have known each other for many years, but he is not trusted. In this case, what are you still doing in the world? It is better to die to clarify your ambition!" After speaking, Wang Rengao pushed
Open the window and prepare to jump off the building.
"Oh, dear brother, this can't be done!"
Jiang Yi was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. He even woke up from the wine and hurriedly pulled him back.
After calming down, Fang said: "Forget it, I will tell my dear brother the test questions, but you must keep it a secret! Come here."
Wang Rengao stretched out his ear, and Jiang Yishang pressed it against his ear and said: "This year's test questions are: "The Analects of Confucius: Weizheng Chapter" on the classics; Poetry and Fu: Poems on a hot summer day, one poem each; Current Affairs Policy, the topic
It is: "The Rebellion of Jiashen: Why did slaves create chaos in China?".
