Memories emerged, and Xia Shang's mind suddenly became confused.
The girl far away in the capital knows what she said, and her name is Xian'er.
Is it really the Xian'er that I know so well?
Xia Shang frowned, and he didn't realize that Li Youlan was tugging at the corner of his clothes. His eyes were a little dim, and he just said softly: "I didn't expect that there are talented people everywhere in the capital. I have also been familiar with poetry and literature since I was a child.
But compared to the young ladies in the capital, they are really far behind. Even the actors in the brothel are much better than me."
Xia Shang's eyes moved and he asked: "Miss, do you want to meet that girl?"
"You said it's the guy upstairs that everyone wants to support?"
"Exactly."
Li Youlan frowned: "Want to go to the building? I'm a girl..."
"There are many tailor shops here. You can just change into men's clothes and sneak in."
"If this matter is known to others, what face will I have..."
"No one knows me here. As long as the matter doesn't get spread, it will be fine."
In fact, Li Youlan is very curious. As a woman, I am afraid that she will never know what the scenery is like inside a brothel in her life. It is rare that someone is willing to take her in today. As long as no one knows about it, it will be a great adventure in life. Thinking about it, Li Youlan felt a little confused.
Heart-beating, but hesitant: "Dad once said that there are not all promiscuous women in brothels, there are also many upright and upright female talents. Literati and elegant people meet them, treat them with courtesy, respect each other as guests, and talk about culture openly.
There is nothing rude about spreading the word, and it will become a good thing to talk about. If I can exchange poems with that sister when I go there, it won't be too out of line."
"That's natural. Look at the young men here. They are all well-known figures in the capital. What's more, they are all vying to go there. It shows that it is a very honorable thing to meet the girl there."
"But having said that, I still know a little bit about the rules here. With so many people, the girl upstairs only needs one person to meet, and she needs to be someone with extraordinary talent. The previous Qin Master's piano music is rare in the world.
, but I can't get into the girl's ears. I ask myself, I still can't come up with any skills that can be better than the previous Mr. Qin. How can you and I just say that we can get in? "
Xia Shang smiled mysteriously: "Miss, don't worry. You go and change into men's clothes first, and I will give you another poem. I will keep the girl upstairs to open the curtain for you and take the initiative to meet you."
"Really?" Li Youlan's face was full of disbelief.
"Miss, you honestly didn't believe what I said all the way here, but in the end, has any one of them disappointed me?"
When Li Youlan thought about it, it seemed that he was the same. This little book boy was indeed different from others. He always had shocking remarks and actions, which made people more and more confused.
Li Youlan was thinking, but Xia Shang was already looking at the roadside to see where there were tailors who still had shops open.
The two searched all the way and soon found one.
After entering, he picked out a men's suit for Li Youlan. After she was fully dressed, she hurried back to Chunxiang Building not far downstairs.
At this moment, there are still many unwilling young men who are reciting poems, singing, or playing the piano... using various methods to attract the attention of the girl upstairs, but the girl Xian'er upstairs seems to have her eyes set on them.
No matter what methods the talented people in the capital used, they were always so lukewarm and didn't seem to like them.
Xia Shang pointed to the top: "Let me tell you, the girls above are not so easy to fall in love with reliable people."
Li Youlan, who was dressed in men's clothing, didn't listen at all and was still embarrassed about her clothes.
Needless to say, this girl has a unique look when she puts on a man's long brocade dress, and she has the feeling of being a beautiful and smart girl from a small family.
"Don't take off your clothes. You're so unnatural. How can you not be seen as a woman disguised as a man?"
Li Youlan rolled her eyes at Xia Shang with resentment, thinking to herself: Why did she just obey his instructions and wear men's clothes?
Xia Shang didn't say much, and Fu Er whispered something in Li Youlan's ear, and then said: "Just read this sentence, and Miss Xian'er will definitely see you."
Li Youlan frowned slightly: "That's it? So simple?"
"Don't doubt it, you will know after you try it."
Li Youlan thought for a while, then mustered up the courage, squeezed to the downstairs of Chunxiang, looked up, and shouted in a high voice: "Miss Xian'er, I have a poem, please listen to it."
Li Youlan's voice was not loud, but it was very pleasant. As soon as she opened her mouth, the people around her became quiet and cast curious glances. The person who spoke was petite and slender, with a small face and very fair and pretty feet.
She has eye-catching eyebrows, pink lips and a beautiful nose, and she looks like a girl.
"Who is this?"
"But you've never seen it before?"
"Could he be from another county?"
"Let's hear what good works he has done?"
In the midst of the discussion, one person suddenly wondered: "Why does this voice sound so familiar?"
But it turned out who this person was, it was Jiang Zhengzhi who was slapped by his teacher in class today.
He was accompanied by his own book boy.
Both sides of these two people were wrapped in gauze, and they were wrapped so tightly that no one else could touch them. They looked very funny.
His book boy looked at it and suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Master, look over there."
Jiang Zhengzhi looked around and his eyes lit up: "This is not the handsome book boy, but... the book boy of Li Yi's daughter Li Youlan, right?"
"Master, it's him."
"Why is he here?"
As I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of Li Youlan reciting poetry.
The chant is: "When it's over, brush off your clothes and go away, hiding your merit and fame."
That's it, there's nothing else to say.
Everyone was stunned, is this the end?
What's the meaning of such a poem without beginning or end? And it's not necessarily that this poem is very subtle, it's just a bit showy.
Wouldn't it be disrespectful to say such a sentence to Miss Xian'er?
As soon as they thought about this, someone opened their mouths and shouted: "Where did you come from, that stinky boy? Come on, hurry up and stop dirtying Miss Xian'er's ears."
"That's right! This guy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth dares to speak nonsense in front of all of us talented people from the capital."
As the accusations spread, Li Youlan lost her composure, and she hated Xia Shang in her heart. She knew she shouldn't have listened to him, which made her lose her reputation.
But at this moment, the girl Xian'er upstairs suddenly moved. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she seemed to be looking down.
This has never happened before.
In the past, no matter how talented the man was or how good his works were, Miss Xian'er remained motionless, spoke a few words, and never looked at anyone directly.
Now she listened to this young master's poem and actually moved.
"Maybe he's angry and wants to see who is so shameless?" someone thought.
But at this moment, Miss Xian'er's voice came from upstairs: "This young man downstairs, please come upstairs."
ah?
Everyone was stunned, even Li Youlan didn't realize it.
After a while, a little maid came out of Chunxiang Tower, ran to Li Youlan, and said respectfully: "Master, Miss Xian'er invites you." (To be continued)
