Manmei heard these words a lot in modern times. It was normal for best friends to complain to each other about the scumbags they met. For a moment, she thought she was back in modern times. She had a lot of affection for Jiang Jie and was no longer so wary.
Thinking that Jiang Shang was willing to let her take care of him, it was probably because he trusted Jiang Jie's character, and most of his guard went away.
After listening to her chirping complaints and saying a few words at the right time, Jiang Jie began to regard her as his good friend and told her most of her situation and that of the Jiang family as if to pour beans.
The Jiang family is founded on martial arts, and the boys in the clan must learn martial arts. Jiang Shang is the eldest son of the head of the Jiang family, and has been valued since he was a child. Jiang Shang strives for his own strength, and can control one of the top gangs at a young age, which is very impressive.
It's a shame for the Jiang family. The head of the family and his wife have always been proud of this son.
Jiang Shang was Mrs. Jiang's only son. When he was born, Mrs. Jiang had a difficult delivery. Fortunately, she had practiced martial arts and was in good health. She survived. However, she fell ill and was unable to conceive again.
Some of Mr. Jiang's concubines and aunts may have given birth to children. They are either daughters, or they are still very young, and they are concubines. There is nothing special about them. No one in the Jiang family's direct line can compete with Jiang Shang.
Manmei had already heard a lot about Chu Yue'er from Jiang Shang, and Jiang Jie didn't say much other than bad things about her.
On the contrary, he told Manmiao quite a few things about Han.
She and Yu Han were engaged when they were very young. Yu Han was the eldest son of the Yu family. He was supposed to marry the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, but Mrs. Jiang had no child. The head of the house married the concubine to someone who could not afford to be the legitimate wife of the Yu family.
As for the responsibility, I chose Jiang Jie, the eldest daughter of the family head’s younger brother, whose status matched the Yu family.
Jiang Jie's eyes lit up when she talked about Yu Han.
She is the daughter of the Jiang family. She has learned some martial arts for self-defense since she was a child. Although she has also learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is somewhat heroic in her actions, but she does not like those soft tones, and her personality is straightforward and honest.
The daughter's family is all in love with spring. She has liked Yu Han since she was a child, but Yu Han has never been very warm to her. If he is not ruthless, he is not particularly enthusiastic. The little girl is very troubled by this. She just meets Manmei.
She regarded Manmiao as her future sister-in-law, and with Manmiao's friendly and skillful treatment, she soon became her confidant.
As the daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Jie has her own pride. If she is asked to beg Yu Han to like her in a low voice, she can't do it. But if she just sees Yu Han being lukewarm to her, she will feel uncomfortable in her heart.
tight.
It is not easy for people who have practiced martial arts to pretend to be weak, especially for Jiang Jie, who has a boyish Hua Mulan type. It is difficult to achieve a perfect operation if you have to pretend to be Lin Daiyu.
But for her to calmly be a well-known female man like Manmei, her emotions and the education she has received make it difficult for her to accept.
It's not easy to grasp the middle degree. Jiang Jie is in a dilemma. She doesn't know what type Yu Han likes, so she can only worry about it and can't find a way.
She couldn't stand the delicate and pretentious young ladies in Jiang Zuocheng. She didn't want to get close to them, so she had no close friends. One or two maids couldn't come up with any ideas. She finally met Manmei and finally found someone who could take care of her heart.
Let’s talk a little bit.
Manmiao first asked what projects Jiang Jie was good at.
Among women, she is considered to have good kung fu, but she is not as good as women who really make a living by making a living in the world, such as Li Erniang and others. She is more powerful as a boudoir lady, but less delicate as a lady from a famous family.
It is indeed very difficult to handle.
The key is that Jiang Jie, like Manmiao, is not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which are the things that literati like.
I recalled in my mind the methods used by time-traveling women to seduce men.
You can show off by reciting poems by famous people, but the problem is that there must be a suitable scene. You can't just meet someone and just go to a random place and come up with a poem that expresses feelings that is off-topic. No matter how beautiful the poem is, it won't stand up.
Such nonsense.
Or else just design a song and dance in a modern style.
Jiang Jie stood up and did a few random movements, shaking her head gracefully. Although martial arts and dance have the same pronunciation, their meanings are very different. Unless it is Gongsun sword dance, this thing also requires hard work to practice. It must be both heroic and gentle.
Only by finding the right degree in time can it be displayed perfectly.
Manmei doesn't have that much time to train Jiang Jie in sword dances and the like.
Then all that's left is singing.
In this era, there were singers and dancers called cabaret girls, who were kept at home by nobles and wealthy people just for entertainment.
To put it simply, these are things that cannot be put on the table.
If a serious young lady doesn't sing very well and is famous for dancing, she can't compare to the singing and dancing girl who has been practicing this since she was a child.
And we don’t really encourage ladies from famous families to do these low-class things.
It's good to have fun once in a while, but doing it as a serious matter every day seems unprofessional.
Jiang Jie was a little hesitant when she heard what she said, "Can I sing?"
Manmei went through it in her mind. Many popular songs do not have high requirements for vocal range. Most people in KTV can sing popular songs.
"It should be no problem to sing with deep emotion. I will choose a few styles for you first, and you will see which one you choose in the end. But no matter which one you choose, you must sing with emotion, otherwise the effect you sing will be just
The effect of those singing and dancing girls raised at home."
Manmei said the ugly things first to find a way out for herself, so that she would not be accused of giving blind orders later.
Jiang Jie's voice is a normal female voice. It can't be said to be very pleasant, nor is it hoarse and deep. There are quite a few to choose from.
Thinking that this is an ancient romance after all, it's better not to be too shocking and scare Yu Han away before he confesses his feelings.
After going through it in my mind, I picked out three songs: Daughter's Love, Tianzhu Girl, and Qing Meihu.
The music style is very simple and lively, suitable for expressing one's feelings.
The daughter's love is gentle and elegant.
Tianzhu girls are more enthusiastic, but not too bold.
Qing Meihu is completely seductive, and Manmei doesn't have high hopes, just to see if Jiang Jie can sing with effect.
After listening to her introduction, Jiang Jie was very interested and asked her to sing the song again.
"Then I will sing my daughter's love first, and you can see the effect. I am singing a cappella without accompaniment. If you can play the piano, the effect will be better:
Mandarin ducks and butterflies fly together, and the spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating. I quietly ask the young master, is my daughter beautiful? Is my daughter beautiful?
No matter how powerful or wealthy you are, no matter how strict the rules are, I just want to be with the one I love forever.
Love Ripples, love Ripples, may we always be with you in this life!"
After singing the song, Jiang Jie was very moved, but she was also a little worried, fearing that she would not be able to sing the artistic conception.
