Chapter 322: Interview
Jia Huan laughed and said, "After the poetry girl arrived in Jiangnan, she also learned to be tactful!" Su Shishi left a very deep impression on him for the first time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info said delicately, frankly, and confidently when seeking poetry. Now it's a tact. It can be seen that the trip to Jiangnan was not smooth, and her temperament was somewhat sharpened.
He didn't have much contact with Su Shishi, but he still knew something about this famous prostitute who was popular in the capital.
Su Shishi is good at dancing, has the fame of his poetry, and has the protection of Mr. Longjiang. So, "a few days of service" is just a joke.
Su Shishi smiled coquettishly, she and Jia Huan had known each other in the ninth year of Yongzhi. At this time, he no longer detoured, and said in a clear voice: "At the end of April, before the Dragon Boat Festival, an Oiran Contest will be held on the Qinhuai River. Famous prostitutes in Jiangnan will come to participate. Therefore, I would like to ask my husband for a good poem to add luster to myself. The poem was unrequited, and I heard that Mr. lived in Jinling and was willing to act as a maid who served tea and poured water for a few days. ”
Su Shishi's voice is very good, like a clear spring flowing on a stone, ding dong ding dong, crisp and pleasant. Compared with Daiyu's voice, it is another style. The words are even boastful, and it is quite comfortable to listen to.
Jia Huan smiled and pointed to Qingwen and Ruyi in the cabin, "Do you think I look like a person who lacks a maid to call?" I'm not a guest in Jinling. The ancestral home of the Jia family is in Jinling. ”
That's rejection.
Su Shishi's expression was gloomy, she smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's Shishi Meng Lang." ”
Jia Huan smiled, "But I have one thing to ask Miss Shishi to help with." My cousin is delicate and likes to read and write poems to relieve her mood. I want her to learn singing, playing an instrument, dancing. I wonder if Miss Shishi can teach her? ”
Su Shishi's gloomy mood suddenly improved, as if she had rushed from the valley to the mountain peak in an instant, a pair of clear and intoxicating eyes couldn't help but look at Jia Huan with disgust, and said coquettishly: "Why is Mr. teasing Shishi?" ”
Su Shishi is nineteen years old, which is the age of charm. Jia Huandu's heart shook at this glance and secretly praised. He is very uninterested in today's mainstream aesthetics like thirteen or fourteen-year-old women, but admires a nineteen-year-old beauty like Su Shishi.
In addition to appreciating the beauties, Jia Huan also has his ideas. Su Shishi's sudden appearance today saved him some effort. He had already told Daiyu during the Chinese New Year that he hoped to cultivate her other hobbies. Don't spend your mind on poetry every day. Isn't this a ready-made, door-to-door teacher?
Jia Huan smiled: "I haven't finished my words yet. My cousin doesn't like to learn singing, playing an instrument, or dancing, and I still have you to convince her. Tomorrow you will come to my house for an interview. ”
Su Shishi nodded, and said softly in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "I kind of understand, Mr. likes twists and turns when he speaks." It's a pity that I'm still going to get into it. ”
"Haha!" Jia Huan couldn't help laughing.
Beauty is thin and angry, and it has always been a pleasing thing to the eye. He can appreciate it, too. This is Jiangnan style!
…
After sending Su Shishi and her little maid away on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, the light boat turned back to the Wuding Bridge. When they went home, they went to take a bath and rest.
In the east wing of the backyard, Aunt Pei's residence, Aunt Pei untied her chest, released the curvature of her chest, sat in the wooden barrel under the service of the maid Mo'er, closed her beautiful eyes, and took a bath.
While adding water, Mo'er chattered and talked about what she had seen today: "Auntie, the third master is really amazing." So many people didn't dare to scold the prefect, he dared to scold. Tsk, people who read really have status. He was really nice to the girl. The old man didn't see the wrong person. Oh, then what poetry girl and the third master are old acquaintances? ”
Aunt Pei opened her eyes and said funny: "You talk a lot." "That Miss Su Shishi is really beautiful. A few points more beautiful than her. I'm afraid that Yu'er will be suppressed when she is older.
…
In the room next to Aunt Pei, after Daiyu took a bath, she changed into a cyan skirt. Purple Juan served her in front of the mirror to make up. We'll have dinner together later.
While Zijuan was busy, she said with a smile: "Girl, I heard Qingwen say that Su Shishi is a famous prostitute in the capital. Yongzhi met the third master in the spring of the ninth year. Her fame in the capital was praised by the poems of the third master. The third master treats her with an old friendship in it. ”
She could tell that the girl was a little sullen. In other words, Su Shishi is so beautiful that they are under pressure. Actually, Qingwen is not bad. However, you have to be a few years older. Everyone lives together, and it's good to be in this state now. Who wants to have one more person living in it? Qingwen and Ruyi are not happy either.
"Hmm." Daiyu replied and looked at her delicate face in the diamond mirror.
Today, Jia Huan took her to play, and mocked the prefect for a small request. She was still a little touched in her heart. The relationship is a little closer again. However, on the way back, a beautiful Su Shishi came in, and she was not very happy.
…
As night fell, the elegant courtyard gradually shrouded in. At dinnertime, in the evening, everyone gathered in the living room in the backyard. Bright candlelight dispelled the darkness.
There are two dining tables in the living room, one table for Jia Huan, Daiyu, and Aunt Pei, and one table for Qingwen, Zijuan and other maids. In ancient times, it was important to "eat without words", but Jia Huan never set up such rules in his own home. Eating is the way to maintain health as long as you chew it slowly.
Jia Huan eats exquisite Jiangnan cuisine, which has a suitable taste. Think about your own train of thought. After the exam on the 26th, he plans to go to Guozijian tomorrow for a round.
Jinling is hundreds of kilometers away from Suzhou, but it is connected by rivers, and it only takes four or five days to go downstream. He plans to leave on April 1 and arrive in Suzhou on the day of the Qingming Festival. Arriving early only increased the sadness in Daiyu's heart.
Aunt Pei thought that Jia Huan was thinking about Su Shishi. No man would want such a beautiful woman, right? Shaking his head with a smile, an intellectual smile.
Jia Huan just came back to his senses and couldn't help asking, "What is my aunt laughing at?" "Aunt Pei is twenty-one years old this year, and she is an extremely outstanding beauty. On a 10-point scale, he can give 9 points. But compared with a big beauty like Su Shishi, it is inferior.
Today, the scholar in Dabao'en Temple mistakenly thought that Aunt Pei was his wife. When he turned around, he still had to explain a thing or two to Aunt Pei. Now they are all eating in the living room, and it's hard to say.
Aunt Pei smiled and said, "I remembered an interesting past. What is the third master thinking? "After living here in Jia Huan for four or five months, she and Jia Huan have become familiar with each other, and they talk very casually at dinner.
Jia Huan said: "I want to go to Suzhou." He said to Daiyu, who was eating rice porridge and listening to him: "Sister Lin, we set off from Jinling on April 1 and arrived in Suzhou on Qingming Day to sweep the graves of Uncle Lin and aunt. ”
At the mention of her parents, Lin Daiyu felt sadness in her heart, frowned, and said softly: "Hmm." Brother Huan, I listen to your arrangement. At this time, she realized the convenience of living in Jinling. If she returns to the capital, she may only be able to send her condolences remotely during the Qingming Festival.
Jia Huan laughed. Daiyu really wants to listen to him arrange everything, so it's easy to say. Save him a lot of things. The point is that Daiyu is actually assertive. "One more thing, I want Su Shishi to teach you opera, musical instruments, and dance. She comes for an interview tomorrow and you decide for yourself whether to keep her or not. ”
Daiyu nodded. It's just that she has already made up her mind not to let Su Shishi stay in her heart.
…
The next morning, Jia Huan took Qian Huai out to Guozijian.
He was shocked by the treatment. Three-quarters of the prisoners he met along the way took the initiative to greet him, "Student Jia..."
When Jia Huan figured out the reason, he couldn't cry or laugh. He is considered famous in the Guozijian and has become a "scholar" in the Guozijian. At noon, I asked Tang Xinran, Luo Jiansheng, and Le Jiansheng to go to Qingyan Building for dinner to thank them for their righteousness.
When Jia Huan was traveling in the Guozi Prison, Su Shishi took the maid to Jia Huan's residence on He'an Street. Jia Huan said hello early, walked through the hall, and went straight to see Daiyu in the backyard.
Although Jia Huan said that Daiyu would be interviewed, in the morning, Aunt Pei, Qingwen, and Ruyi were all waiting in the living room in Daiyu's room.
The attacker walked in with Su Shishi. Su Shishi was wearing an elegant emerald green cardigan, with a slender and slender figure. Beautiful and quiet, the face is beautiful. Very beautiful woman.
Su Shishi's little maid Dan'er pursed her lips dissatisfied. Set up a feast for her girl. Mr. Jia: Really.
Su Shishi has been practicing in the festival for a long time and has seen all kinds of scenes, and such scenes naturally can't scare her. The bright eyes flowed, and the young saluted the women. Although famous prostitutes were sought after by scholars, their social status was not high.
"Shishi has seen all the girls."
Aunt Pei, the eldest, said, "Miss Su is polite. Have a seat. "The attacker served tea. He also introduced: "This is the third master's cousin, Miss Lin." ”
Su Shishi looked at Daiyu who was sitting in the center, and was secretly surprised, the little girl she saw yesterday did not have such a beautiful appearance. Surprised, he smiled and said, "Mr. Jia said that he asked me to teach Miss Lin quyi, how dare Shishi be?" If you don't dislike the noise of poetry, poetry will play a song for you. ”
Aunt Pei and Qingwen all looked at Daiyu.
Daiyu nodded her head and said decently, "Okay." When Su Shishi looked at her, she was also looking at Su Shishi, she was indeed a very outstanding person. She was a little curious about the famous prostitute and an indescribable resistance in her heart.
Su Shishi came by boat and brought a guzheng. Let the accompanying maid Dan'er take it. sat on the side of the case that Qingwen moved, quietly, and played a song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night". What she does best is dance. However, he is also proficient in other skills.
After the song was played, the room full of people was calmed, and it was indeed a very high level of skill. Aunt Pei was the first to nod in approval. Qingwen stuck out her tongue delicately and said in Ruyi's ear: "It's amazing." The third master really knows how to choose people. ”
The little maid Dan'er raised her head proudly. The girl played a song, and there was no tea money of 40 taels of silver in the capital, so don't even think about it.
Zijuan and Raider opened their mouths in surprise and looked at Daiyu. Daiyu also looked at Su Shishi in surprise, admiration and hesitation. This level is more than enough to be her teacher.
It's just that Jia Huan and Su Shishi talked and laughed happily on the return trip yesterday. She had a feeling that the attention from Jia Huan was distracted by Su Shishi. Daiyu is a very sensitive person, and she immediately noticed this subtle change.
Therefore, she was a little resistant to Su Shishi staying. Moreover, she is not very willing to learn opera, musical instruments, and dance.
Daiyu's face was calm, and she praised softly: "Miss Su is really good at playing." But I didn't really want to learn an instrument. Thank you for your understanding. ”
Su Shishi can become a famous prostitute, not only beautiful and talented, but also very experienced in insight into people's hearts, seeing that Daiyu and Jia Huan's rhetoric is different, she immediately understood a little, and said with a smile: "I want to say a few words to Miss Lin alone, is it okay?"
