Chapter 480: Dong Xiaowan
At this moment, the breeze was blowing, and the wind blowing in from the window shook the bead curtain, making a slight "ding" sound. The girl's sideburns moved slightly www.biquge.info delicate face with a hint of fatigue, as if she had not woken up, and her gestures exuded a lazy posture.
Isn't this little Wan girl the woman she met by chance on a boat on the river yesterday?
The two said at the same time: "It's you?" Then they looked at each other and smiled.
Xia Nan came to his senses, Miss Dong, whose stage name is Xiaowan, isn't it the famous Dong Xiaowan? I didn't expect to see Dong Xiaowan, one of the legendary Qin Huai Bayan, who is both talented and beautiful, on this occasion.
After Sima De's interpretation of prostitutes and prostitutes, Xia Nan's identity as a prostitute is not as exclusive as before, isn't it similar to the female stars of the old time and space, not to mention a legendary prostitute like Dong Xiaowan.
He looked at Dong Xiaowan with a smile, "Before I came, I heard Mr. Sima talk about Miss Xiaowan's talent, and I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect to see the deity, and I realized that what I said was true." ”
Dong Xiaowan smiled, "There is a false praise in the market, and I dare not take it seriously." Xiaowan is just an ordinary woman, with a mediocre appearance, but she knows a few words and can compose a few crooked poems. It's like this, without applying powder, he recklessly came out to meet people, which made the son laugh. ”
It is estimated that because she was not ready to meet the guests, Dong Xiaowan did not put on makeup, and a trace of tiredness in her expression could not be concealed, but without makeup, she was even more beautiful and natural, fresh and lovely, Xia Nan looked at her beautiful face, and blurted out a poem subconsciously:
"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving."
Dong Xiaowan was stunned, these two sentences came from the autobiographical poems of the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, which were originally used to describe the freshness and naturalness of the poetry works, and opposed to piling up gorgeous rhetoric and excessive carving and decoration, but in this situation, these two poems are obviously used to describe her appearance, but there is no sense of abruptness.
No woman can reject the language of praise for herself, let alone in such an elegant way as poetry. Dong Xiaowan lowered her head, fiddled with a few strands of green silk hanging down, and asked softly, "Childe also likes Qinglian monks?" ”
Xia Nan is a liberal arts student after all, and Qinglian Jushi is Li Bai, he still knows this, so he nodded quickly, "I naturally like Qinglian Jushi's poems...... He didn't know that Dong Xiaowan's favorite poet was Li Bai, her real name was Dong Bai, and her name was Qinglian, and she was a die-hard fan of Li Bai.
At this time, Dong Xiaowan found a bosom friend and discussed with him Li Bai's life and masterpieces, from Xuanzong to Gaolishi, from "Will Enter Wine" to "Shu Dao Difficult". Fortunately, Xia Nanwen was born in liberal arts, and his language foundation is not bad, and he can barely keep up, coupled with deliberate catering, Dong Xiaowan feels more comfortable than she has ever been. In the past, when I interacted with scholars, I had to cater to the other party's preferences, how could I be so free to speak my mind.
Sima De, Lin Weiye, Liu Quan and others sat aside, watching Xia Nan and Dong Xiaowan's eyebrows flying, and more than an hour passed.
Sima De and Liu Quan are very aware of being foils and have no complaints, but Lin Weiye gradually became dissatisfied.
He came to see the ancient Fengyue place, although he didn't have to prostitute a girl, but he didn't come to be a light bulb. Now everyone is sitting here stupidly and looking at the summer Nanpao girl, what about the same trip to Bantang Street?
Xia Nan hadn't noticed it yet, but Dong Xiaowan keenly discovered that Lin Weiye's face was almost written with a pen, "Happy". She stopped talking and said, "I had a great time chatting with Childe today. It's not early now, Xiao Wan is a little tired, why don't you talk to your son another day? ”
Xia Nanzheng was intoxicated by Dong Xiaowan's Wu Nong's soft words, and suddenly heard her say this, he was a little puzzled, but out of respect, he quickly adjusted his mood.
"Miss Xiaowan is tired from running around, and she shouldn't be bothering today. Then ask the girl to rest and come back another day, and I'll say goodbye first. ”
Dong Xiaowan smiled slightly: "Xiaowan sent the son." ”
"No, no, you better go back to your room and rest." Xia Nan hurriedly excused himself.
But Dong Xiaowan insisted on sending it, but she couldn't resist it in the summer, so she had to send it to the gate downstairs.
The bustard's mother was amazed on the side, Dong Xiaowan has always been very high, and it is the first time that she has taken the initiative to send guests.
At the door, Dong Xiaowan asked: "Xiaowan and Gongzi hit it off at first sight, can you tell Xiaowan who Gongzi is and has he ever been famous?" ”
This is a very straightforward question, and it is also very bold, and in later generations, it is basically equivalent to "whether you have a Beijing hukou, what education, whether you have a car and a house", etc., which is mostly seen in the qualification review stage before the blind date. However, in Dong Xiaowan's opinion, this is not abrupt, the two can talk, and it is not a big deal to understand the background of the details, not to mention that with what he talked just now, no matter how bad he is, he is also a good dieter, maybe he still lifts people, and this question may have scratched his itch.
What I never expected was that this question was not to scratch the itch, but to poke the sore spot. Xia Nan is a top student of Peking University, and in terms of the breadth of knowledge, he has to get rid of these scholars who only read the "Four Books and Five Classics", but when it comes to analyzing the meaning of the scriptures and writing the current texts, the literati of the Ming Dynasty who took the imperial examination as their lifelong goal want to throw him a few streets.
Xia Nan vaguely understood Dong Xiaowan's intentions: famous prostitutes in this era are like stars in later generations, although they are sought after, they are not willing to make a living by laughing all their lives, they may have some small personalities, small tempers, and small feelings, choosing their guests in the spring flowers and autumn moons, and also choosing their own life in the mountains and seas. This sentence is asked, indicating that he is likely to become a potential "investigation" object of Dong Xiaowan.
Although it is only a theoretical possibility, and it is only an "investigation" object, it does not mean that people have a definite idea in their hearts, but they can be recognized by the sister paper they admire, Xia Nan's mood is good, but the last sentence "Can you ever get famous" is a bit disappointing. It seems that even in the last days of the dynasty, the imperial examination is still the mainstream and righteous way, and no matter how talented and beautiful the famous prostitute is, what he yearns for most is still the drama of talented and beautiful women.
"I have never gained fame in the next examination...... This, to tell the truth, my surname is Xia, my name is Tiannan, I am a military attache registered in the imperial court, and I am the general of the Qiongzhou battalion. ”
After he finished speaking, he looked into Dong Xiaowan's eyes, and the other party's eyes obviously flashed with a trace of disappointment.
"It turned out to be a general, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Dong Xiaowan said this, but Xia Nan felt that her tone was obviously unfamiliar, and she didn't have the harmony when she talked about poetry just now.
After saying goodbye to Dong Xiaowan, the group came out of Leyun Building, Xia Nan rejected Sima De's proposal to go to other Qinglou to have a look, so he didn't want to be asked by other famous prostitutes about "have you ever been famous" such a disappointing question. Although Lin Weiye was a little unhappy, he asked him to go to the kiln alone, and he had some stage fright, so he had to return to the inn where he stayed with Xia Nan.
