The flower boat floated leisurely on the river, stopping and going with no fixed destination.
Even if a tourist sees this beautifully decorated flower boat, the occasional beautiful music, singing, and even some beautiful figures inside the bamboo curtain can be glimpsed if the angle is good. However, because of the flower boat itself and the several small boats that follow behind it, The boat was full of officers and soldiers, so everyone knew that the people who were having fun on the flower boat were unusual.
Even a small number of people could guess the opponent's identity based on their posture, so they quickly ordered their servants and disciples not to collide with each other.
Even those who wanted to approach and make friends were expelled in advance, so no one came to bother them.
In this way, Jia Lian could take in the scenery of this gentle and wealthy land while appreciating the beauty of Xiao Yi.
After all, he felt sorry for the beauty and couldn't bear to see her force herself to do something she knew she couldn't do, so after a while he pulled her up and put her in his arms to comfort her.
Meiren Shen felt a little embarrassed, "It's because the slave family is useless and I have let you down..."
Shen Pan'er, like all the oirans on this ship, is the head of various romantic places. She is a geisha, that is, it is said that she is the kind of artist who does not sell her body. At least before leaving the court.
So Shen Pan'er seemed to know everything on the surface, but actually had no experience. Therefore, after a lot of effort, she still couldn't satisfy Jia Lian, so she blamed herself very much.
Jia Lian was very calm, touched her little face, smiled and comforted her a few words.
In fact, she was becoming more and more satisfied with Shen Pan'er. Not to mention anything else, her figure and appearance could give men endless satisfaction.
As for his technical skills, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as he has the skills in the future, he can naturally make her dance skills as superb as hers!
Jia Lian's generosity and comfort did not make Shen Pan'er happy.
She even felt a little resentful: "Is it because you dislike Pan'er's poor background, so you don't want to employ Pan'er?"
Seeing the beauty's serious and aggrieved expression, Jia Lian shook his head and smiled: "If I said that I am not hiring you now because of your future, would you believe it?"
"I don't understand." Although Shen Pan'er questioned, she snuggled into Jia Lian's arms obediently, and gently caressed Jia Lian's chest with one jade hand. Such an obedient appearance made it difficult for people to feel bad.
"You must also know that I not only have a wife, but also had a dispute with the eldest princess of the current dynasty... The most important thing is that I still have more than a year to fulfill my filial piety, so during this period , it is impossible to take a concubine, not even a concubine, so I can’t keep you by my side for the time being..."
Perhaps it was related to his whole life. Shen Pan'er didn't wait for Jia Lian to finish speaking, then turned over and sat up, facing Jia Lian, and said: "Of course the slave family knows that you already have a lovely wife, and the slave family also knows that they are of low status and cannot marry Hou. What should I and my wife fight about? After entering the house in the future, I will treat her as my master and grandma and serve her.
Even if she doesn't like the slave family and refuses to let the master accept the slave family as a concubine... that doesn't matter. As long as she can stay with the master, even if she is a maid, the slave family is willing to do so.
As for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess... Although the Nu family doesn't know what happened between the Lord and the Eldest Princess, thinking about it, she didn't even embarrass the Marquis and his wife, so it's even less likely that she would embarrass every girl from a humble background in the Nu family...
Also, what the Lord said is still filial piety, human ethics and courtesy, so naturally we cannot ignore it. However, the slave family has said that they voluntarily be a maid beside the Lord, so it won’t be a problem if I think about it.”
Jia Lian saw her calculating like she was counting on her fingers. It was obvious that she had already made a thorough plan in her heart. He couldn't help but smile and said: "With your erotic skills, are you really willing to just be a maid? Hahaha, even if you are willing to be a maid, do you think Hou Men Is it easy to be a maid in the palace?
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention that you look so arousing people's jealousy, and others will come to you for trouble even if you have nothing to do. I am a military officer, so I will have to go out to lead troops in the future. If you are bullied by others, I will No official can protect you."
What Jia Lian said was exactly what Shen Pan'er had also considered. Seeing Jia Lian say the same thing, she suddenly became nervous.
With his eyes turning, he caught a glimpse of the majestic Aqi and Aqin sisters next to him, and he thought to himself: "If this is the case, then I will not be a maid, but just be an attendant by your side, just like the two of them, okay?"
Shen Pan'er had long noticed that these two women, whose looks were slightly different from those of the Central Plains women, were inseparable from Jia Lian. She felt that if it was really difficult to gain a foothold in the public sector, it would be better to become a military maid, so that not only could she follow Jia Lian out at any time, but others would also There would be no chance to bully her.
Although she has never entered Duke Hou Men's Mansion, she knows that the people there look down on their promiscuous women from top to bottom. Therefore, if she cannot be protected if she goes in, she will definitely be bullied. It is better to be a martial maid, although it is a bit tiring. , but the benefits are also obvious.
"Do you want to be like them?" Jia Lian seemed to have heard a joke and laughed.
Sisters Aqi and Aqin also looked at her angrily. They thought to themselves, you are so fragile that you fall on men before you can finish three sentences, and you still want to steal their jobs?
Sensing that she was being slighted, Shen Pan'er said dissatisfied: "Sir, please don't look down on me. Although she calls herself a weak woman, she has been practicing dance skills since she was a child and has endured hardships. Moreover, she is also very strong..."
When Shen Pan'er raised her arms, she wanted to prove to him that she had strength, but after rolling up her sleeves, a pair of snow-white and slender arms that seemed to be broken with a flick were immediately revealed in front of her eyes. This situation was overwhelming in silence. There was a sound, and Shen Pan'er suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Hahaha, don't be delusional. Don't think that they are just the attendants around me. In terms of status, they are equivalent to your Yangzhou Prefecture. They are in the fifth rank and are the third-class guards enshrined by the royal family. You Are you saying it’s so easy to win?”
"ah?"
Shen Pan'er was shocked and looked at Sister Aqi with wide eyes.
She grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and anywhere except the capital, she would be a high-ranking official at rank five.
The prefects in most places are not of this rank.
Among military attachés, a fifth-grade officer can probably command a thousand soldiers and horses. Really important people, I didn’t expect that there are two of them here!
Before, I just thought she was an ordinary maidservant and didn't think anything of it. Now I know the identity of the other party, and then I remember that the shameful thing I just did was seen by the other party, and I suddenly feel very embarrassed.
But in my heart, I was even more determined to follow Jia Lian.
She has never seen other royal guards, but just hearing that the third-class guard is already at the fifth level can tell how noble the person is. And how powerful and decent must be a man who can be protected by the distinguished royal guard?
So he immediately retreated and asked for the next best thing: "Then I will help my two sisters from now on. Don't worry, sir and the two adults. The slave family will definitely practice kung fu diligently in the future. I think martial arts and dance skills have different performances, but they are the same on the inside. Being able to practice well..."
Aqi and Aqin looked at Shen Pan'er with different eyes, and felt a little strange in their hearts.
Although they themselves are not proud of the status given by Princess Zhaoyang, they are still touched by Jia Lian's ability to express their different status to others at any time. Everyone hopes to be respected by others, and they are no exception.
