Chapter 173: Cao Bang Ship and Salt Gang Ship(1/2)
Not all graceful postures are fluttering in white.
This discovery surprised Jia Lian quite a bit.
At least in the movies and TV he had watched in his previous life, when the fairy-like woman appeared, she was flying white gauze, surrounded by light smoke, and was full of super slow motion, and the skin-braining filter was used.
But this woman who attracted Jia Lian's attention was just an ordinary dress, with only a silver hairpin on her head.
She was about twenty-three or four years old, with beautiful eyebrows, phoenix eyes, jade cheeks, cherry lips, and sitting on the boat with a expressionless face, just looking at the river intently.
But even such a static picture is better than countless charming smiles, leaving Jia Lian with only the four words "beautiful and graceful" left in his mind.
.
"That's a ship prostitute."
Zhu Yu saw Jia Lian looking at each other in a daze, so she followed his eyes and immediately looked disdainful.
"The famous West Lake boatwoman, now he is here along the canal?"
Jia Lian frowned when he heard this:
"All little girls come from every family. As soon as they come up, they say that they are boat prostitutes, and they are asking you to provoke you?"
Zhuyu was unhappy and immediately raised her waist:
"Who said that? There were silk flowers on the edge of her tent, and even the price was marked.
The south calls for such a boat with silk flowers, and the boatwoman on the flower boat is a boat prostitute."
Qingwen immediately looked at the window:
"Really, there is a bouquet of tuberose jade tied on the tent."
"That might be just a decoration." Jia Lian was a little impatient and waved his hand, "Tubing jade is quite elegant."
"Elegant? Hum!"
Zhuyu curled her lips and was extremely contemptuous.
"Only those who don't know anything feel elegant.
The flowers tied to this type of flower indicate the price.
Those with red peony flowers are usually two-story painting boats. The first-class hairpin girl is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Therefore, the first-class hairpin girl has a nickname called "female school book", which is not affordable for high-ranking officials and gentry.
Those with pink lotus flowers are cheaper second-class boat prostitutes who can play the pipa, sing songs, or cook decent West Lake boat dishes.
The one with white tuberose jade tied on this boat is to say that the most despicable third-class prostitute on this boat. Only those rude boatmen will patronize her business."
Zhuyu was angry and Jia Lian looked at the woman and deliberately said the last sentence to disgust him.
.
Jia Lian couldn't say hesitated, but he was indeed a little disappointed.
Such a beautiful girl, her career is almost interesting.
Of course, in Jia Lian's previous life, many beautiful girls also worked in this profession, and some of them were part-time jobs.
However, the saying they circulated at that time was not that the seller tied silk flowers on the edge of the boat tent, but that the buyer put a bottle of water on the roof of the car to take the homonym of "drink your water".
The buyer parks his car at the entrance of the university and then places a bottle of drink on the roof.
Nongfu Spring is 200 yuan, green tea is 300 yuan, pulse is 400 yuan, and Red Bull is 600 yuan.
If the girl falls in love with the buyer or the buyer's car, the girl will pick up the drinks on the roof of the car, open the door and sit in the passenger seat of the buyer.
If the buyer does not like the girl who gets on the bus, then the buyer will say that he is waiting for someone. The girl understands it, gets off the bus calmly, and floats away without any embarrassment.
But the woman on the boat was not as good as the college student in Jia Lian's previous life.
It’s really a matter of death that people compare to others, and a matter of goods that compare to others, and a matter of throwing away.
.
But Jia Lian didn't intend to make Zhuyu too arrogant, so he deliberately said:
"Oh, since this is not good, I won't watch it.
The 'West Lake Boat Girl' is not good, the 'Yangzhou Skinny Horse' that has been so stunning all over the world is really worthy of it, right?"
Speaking of this, Jia Lian was really moved, closed his eyes slightly, and expressed his imagination:
"This trip happened to be a beautiful spring in the south of the Yangtze River. The river water was rippling and shining with prosperity. I also booked a two-story pleasure boat, calling more top beauties, and preparing more wine and dishes. The sound of silk and bamboo orchestrals is slow, and the fragrance of wine is in the fragrance of powder.
I also listen to songs, chant poems, talk and drink with beauty, and talk about life, which is both erotic and literary.”
"Officials are visiting prostitutes, and once they find out, they have sixty sticks!" Zhuyu looked righteous, "If you dare to go, I will find a censor to participate in you, and the sixty boards will destroy you!"
Qingwen was originally listening to it interesting, but when she heard this, she immediately grabbed Zhuyu:
"I don't allow you to hit the second master!"
Dogwood stomped her feet:
"I don't allow him to find any Yangzhou thin horse, West Lake boatwoman!"
Jia Lian was speechless.
As the two little girls made a fuss, he looked out the window again.
Although the small boat with white tuberose jade was simple, it was smooth sailing and not slow. It was traveling parallel to Jia Lian's ship through the rolling river water and the passing ships for a long time.
The woman sat for a while, then got up and went into the cabin.
From beginning to end, she never looked at Jia Lian.
.
The boat was sailing for several days, and every day was bored. While Jia Lian was reading and writing, he sometimes went to Daiyu's boat to chat for a while.
After listening to Daiyu playing the piano several times, he became interested and begged Daiyu to teach her.
Daiyu smiled:
"It's a coincidence that I really brought the piano score."
From a stack of books on the table, I found one and handed it to Jia Lian:
"The beginning of this is "Suka Chang", an ancient Jiangnan piano song.
Although the fingering method is simple, you must carefully experience the charm of "sad but not hurt", which is suitable for you to learn."
Jia Lian opened the piano score and saw that the words inside were very strange. Some looked like the word "Shao", some looked like the word "Mang", and there was also a "Nine" next to the word "Da", and a hook added to the middle, and a "Five" character, and a "Mu" character, and a "Five" character, and a "Five" character, and a "Five" character, and a "Five" character, and a "Five" character, and a "Five" character, and a "Five" character, and a smile:
"It's so deadly. They recognize me, I don't recognize them."
Daiyu laughed "sneer":
"Since you worship me as your teacher, I will naturally have to give you all my money. But as a master, Shu Xiu is very expensive."
Jia Lian smiled with a scoundrel:
"Last time I went to that jar of wine, I had to pay for this tuition before I saw you give me a gift."
.
Jia Lian didn't expect that he had such talent. Daiyu only taught him once, and then he recorded the fingering techniques of the piano score clearly. Daiyu only played the song "Back to Love" once, and he could already play it stumble.
Daiyu looked around and saw Jia Lian's solemn expression and concentrating, and said to herself:
The ancients played the piano to cure the body and cultivate their temperament. If the heart is correct, the sound of the piano will be correct.
Baoyu also tried to learn the piano by himself, but only said, "We are just learning to play. If we become too particular, it will be boring."
One is to devote yourself to everything when doing things, and the other is to play with everything. Compared with the two, the difference will be judged immediately.
Now I became more and more impressed by Jia Lian, but I thought that he already had a wife and a concubine, and I sighed in my heart that I had a poor life.
If you were born a few years earlier, you could also get your father to get engaged to him.
With his family background and talent, he is definitely not inferior to Wang Xifeng, and his grandmother will definitely be happy to see her success.
But now, my grandmother is determined to match her and Baoyu, while Mrs. Wang is guarding against herself because she wants to match Baoyu and Baochai. She is not her own intention.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt sad. Therefore, for several nights, Daiyu tossed and turned every night, and shed tears and sadness.
.
On that day, it started to rain at night. Zhu Yu and Qingwen were sleepy early as they listened to the sound of the rain.
Jia Lian asked them to go to bed first, and suddenly the room was extremely quiet and had no intention of sleeping. He sat at the table and wrote for a while, and then took a casual book to read.
The drizzle gently knocked on the wooden roof of the cabin, making the surroundings look quieter.
The candlelight shook light and the sandalwood was fine. Two young girls were sleeping peacefully. They were leisurely watching Wen Zhenheng's "Changwuzhi", which included some leisurely and fun things, and talked about the distinction between elegance and vulgarity in the "idle things" that are "hungry and cold".
This leisure is enjoyable in itself.
At some point, the rain stopped outside.
Jia Lian was in a very good mood, so he opened the cabin door lightly, and a fresh air after the rain immediately came to his face, making people feel refreshed.
Just as I closed the cabin door, I turned around and suddenly found Xing'er standing behind me, which scared Jia Lian almost jumped.
