Chapter 9: Beautiful
When the schedule Yunfeng's family was ruined, people died. The little boy Cheng Lianan was taken away by Dongchang. Miss Cheng was sold. Gu Weixin mobilized the Qin family's hands to search for several days, but found nothing. The clue was lost. Now listen to what the steward has to say. Think back to the poem I saw yesterday on the wall of the Koufu Residence. I feel more and more that this water girl is by no means an ordinary person.
Could she be Miss Cheng? Will Shui Yanxiang be her makeover flower name.
Just when Chang Sihao was puzzled. The sound of firecrackers has subsided.
The turtle slaves flashed back to both sides. The cold wind quickly swept away the smoke. Noisy vocals. Xu Sangongzi's fat body appeared on the verandah platform on the third floor of the main building of Yanxiang Pavilion.
"Ahem. Well. Ladies and gentlemen. . . ”
He cleared his throat. Try to keep both eyes open to a normal size. The crowd of onlookers downstairs swept overhead. A smug smile appeared on his face. Wait for the voice to fade down. Only then did he open his mouth again: "It snows on an auspicious day." The plum fragrance is warm and cold. It's early winter. Yanxiangkan ......"
Gao Yang heard his first two sentences from a distance. I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Who wrote this speech from your host." By his thoughts. Sour fake vinegar. It's not funny. ”
Check the chicken rack and whispered: "Hehe." Swordsman, you laughed. The third son of my family has been strictly supervised by the cabinet since he was a child. Knowledgeable. It was not comparable to ordinary gentlemen. ”
The corners of his mouth are coldly hooked. No more speech. Fortunately, Xu Sangongzi's speech was not very long. I just listened to him memorize it in a crepe. He said with a smile: "Today, the plaque in the main hall is open. There's a big jackpot. I think you already know about ......" as soon as this statement came out. There was a sudden crowd of people below. All forward. The mouth shouted: "Water girl." "We're going to see the water girl. "Chang Sihao and the three of them have samurai around them. Squeezed by the crowd. I also involuntarily moved a few steps forward. The crowd shouted chaotically: "Water girl, come out." Men wait for you for a long time. My hands were frozen red. "Haha. Your dog's paws are a lot. Lao Tzu's head is going to freeze off. "His grandmother's. I can catch a glimpse of her. It's worth it if your brain freezes out. The commotion was mixed with a woman's voice: "God's second dog." Where's your big brother cat? "How do I know, sister-in-law. Maybe he's settling accounts in the store. "This camel day. A belly full of flowers. He didn't want to come and see this good thing. The old lady wants to take a look. What kind of romance can this little girl be. "Oh he. . . There was a lot of noise and commotion.
Xu Sangongzi was very satisfied with the enthusiasm of this scene. No more whet appetites. Leaning sideways, he called back, "Let's go." ”
Where the voice fell. Four salutes were fired. The drums are loud.
Two rows of turtle slaves quickly walked out. Eight square stools are placed in the open space in front of the door. Then lay the planks and blankets on it. More than a dozen numbers of kung fu. A rectangular platform has been erected.
In the corridor on the second floor, the women held rattan baskets filled with winter pride and poinsettias. Sprinkle it all. For a while, braids flew like rain in the air. It looks indescribably beautiful against the snow. The main entrance on the first floor of the Yanxiang Pavilion is wide open. The two maids each held the hook as they wished. Lift the curtain up.
Everyone was looking forward to it. The noise fell.
I saw a slender foot and a light probe. A woman's jaw is the first to step out. There is a water red peony on his body, which is knee-length than the armor. Pleated skirt exposed. The round neck is slightly exposed. Embroidery on a woven plate. Emerald hues. Lined with a piece of powder neck, it is really like mutton fat condensation. Hydrated. On the head, three thousand green silks were put together into a bunch. Falling diagonally from the left shoulder. Like a thick ink draped over the chest. A pretty face with blue eyebrows. Water clips clear eyes. Sure enough, it is a peerless appearance. The country is beautiful and fragrant.
"Water girl. ”
"Water girl. ”
"Look this way. ”
In an instant, the shouts shook the sky. Human porridge boiled. The men didn't care if they were old or young. Hold on to other people's shoulders. Rush forward. I'm afraid that I'll miss half of my eyes.
Gao Yangyuan looked up with a disapproving expression. We'll see. was also slightly stunned. Rubbing his chin.
The woman paced to the front of the stage. Only glanced around. It seems a little shy to see such a lively scene. With an expression that seemed to be happy and ashamed, he bowed his head and let it aside. Behind her. Another woman slowly walked out. The noisy voices below were immediately silent.
It turned out to be the woman in the back. Not only is it the same as the water girl. Even the appearance is average.
She came to the front of the stage in the same way. Sideways across from the girl. The people at the bottom looked left and right. There were many discussions: "Could it be that there are two water girls in this world?" ”
"How is that possible? ”
"But don't you see they're the same? ”
You say a word, he speaks. The scene was like a porridge shed. At a time when everyone is puzzled. The brocade curtain is picked again. and walked out of the two at the same time. The uproar immediately raised an octave.
"Four. . . Piece. ”
"Why are there two more water girls. ”
"No way. The water girl is the first beauty today. First, of course, there is only one. ”
"There must be a fake in it. Xu Sangongzi found someone to put on makeup to tease us. ”
"The first one is true. She is the most beautiful. ”
"I think it's the second one. ”
"Come on. They all look the same. It's quadruplets. ”
"It turns out that the water girl is four people. So wouldn't they have covered the first, second, third, and fourth beauties in the world. No matter how beautiful others are. It can only be the fifth in the world. ”
"Fart. The four of them are tied for first place. ”
In the midst of a commotion. There is a turtle slave holding a roll of white things that is long and placed on the stage. And he set up stepstools on both sides. The quadruplets came to power. Squat down before the white thing. The two pressed hands on the ground. Two backwards. Pull a scroll and unfold slowly. It turned out to be an extremely large piece of rice paper. Unfolded. Almost all over the countertop. The crowd looked at the freshness. I don't know what this is for. For a while, there was a lot of discussion.
I saw the four sisters flatten and press this huge piece of rice paper. Point under one knee. Step on a corner of each. Squat in unison. Look at the door. Seems to be waiting for something. Only then did everyone realize that these four people were not water girls. It's probably just four servants. At this time, a turtle slave brought out a three-toad bottom curled gold and silver basin from the middle of the building. The basin floated and filled half of the black and red soup. It's steaming hot.
Some of the people who were standing higher in front looked out of the doorway. They exchanged their heads and said, "It's ink." "Huh. It seems to be true. "It's not. You smell the fragrance...... It seems to be wine. Be...... It's wine. The others sniffed. It is known to be the aroma of wine. They all nodded. Some said, "I've drunk it." This. This is 'Zilu Dannon'. "Everyone knows that the Xu family's Koufuju has a special grape wine "Zilu Dannon" in Turpan. A drink costs five taels of silver. Today, it is served in such a large basin. I don't know what to do. Isn't it free for everyone to taste? There are beauties to see. and good wine to drink. That's not bad.
After the turtle slave put the basin on the side of the table. He gestured to the third floor. Xu Sangongzi smiled slightly. Clapped his hands and said, "Girl, please." ”
With that, he looked downstairs. Waited a minute. But I didn't see anyone coming out of the downstairs. I wonder between. I only heard someone behind me: "Help me ......" The timbre is sluggish and vague. But there is a hazy charm.
Xu Sangongzi hurriedly turned around and lifted the curtain. Reach out into the house.
A hand rested lightly on his wrist. It seems to be light and not forceful. Slightly a bit. Xu Sangongzi felt like a heavy object. Busy holding on. "Girl, slow down." Slow down...... Don't fall. ”
The woman peeked out of the curtain. Immediately frowned and hid his face. Rolling his sleeves, he muttered, "This light is so bright." Quickly blew it out. ”
"Hey, hey. The girl told jokes. That's the sun. Who blows it out. Xu Sangongzi smiled at her. Turned his head and glared at the maid who was chasing after him. Whispered: "Tell what." Teach you not to get her drunk today. How to wait. ”
The servants were terrified. I couldn't speak with a nervous face.
The woman was a little more comfortable with the light. The cold wind blew outside the curtain. It seems that the wine has also woken up a lot. She pinched Xu Sangongzi's arm. He said with a smile: "Hey, I said the third brother." That's your fault. Since you bought them and gave them to me. That's my people. If you can't move. I don't want to drink. I don't want to send food. So what else do I want them to do? ”
Xu Sangongzi was pinched by her: "Hey, hey, hey." Be. Be. That's what the water girl said. ”
Shui Yanxiang smiled: "What kind of place is Duhulou?" What sells is art. But sooner or later, I won't be able to save myself. The third brother bought me out. I also arranged to decorate this restaurant. That was to save Xiaoxiang from the sea of suffering. Even if I'm no longer sensible. How can he smit the benefactor in the mouth at this joint? It wasn't sitting on the edge of a well and washing your feet. I don't know how deep the water is. Hehe. "Speaking of which. Shake your hand gently. One push. Xu Sangongzi's body was weak. The back rests against the door frame. But the fragrance is in the face. A soul is so beautiful that it almost turns into tears. Snatched out of the nostrils.
Shui Yanxiang smiled and turned around. The delicate body swayed slightly. Walking in vain steps. In the sound of wooden shoes of "Gurgle, Gurgle". Go out onto the balcony.
The people below were bored for a long time. I don't know what the situation is. Plus the noise of people. I couldn't hear who Xu Sangongzi was talking to. I was anxious. Suddenly, someone came out of the third floor. All eyes were on her face.
Everyone just subconsciously glanced at it. But the sight was fixed. No one looked away.
The long street that was still full of people just now. Freeze in an instant. It's as quiet as a wilderness and a forest. Everyone looked up. Forgot about the front squeeze. Forget about arguments. Pieces of white gas slowly came out of the wide mouth. Like a chaotic cloud shattered by a cold wind.
The stunning quadruplets. No one gave a damn about it anymore.
Shui Yanxiang saw a lot of people. Here comes the spirit. Pick up the red dress and throw it to her side. Lift your right foot and step on the railing. More than half of the slender thighs are exposed. The snow shines brightly.
She was on her elbows and knees. Lean forward. Facing the crowd of ants, he smiled slightly: "Yo." Let's see Xiaoxiang. That's a lot. ”
Just when everyone was stunned. She glanced at the platform underneath where rice paper was laid. Stretched out his hand and grabbed the red ribbon next to him with flowers and eaves mopping the floor. The right foot on the railing kicked violently. The body rises.
"Not good. The girl is going to jump off the building. Xu Sangongzi was so scared that his farts were cold. Throw your hands wide open. But he stumbled and stumbled. The surrounding turtle slaves and maids hurriedly helped. Xu Sangongzi still cares about this. Climb two steps over. Hand pick up the railing and look down. I saw Shui Yanxiang holding the ribbon echoing in the air. The red dress on her body shook the wind and drew a beautiful arc like blood. I didn't wait for my breath to catch my breath. She has landed firmly on the stage.
Shui Yan Xiangfu stood firm. Lift your feet immediately. Throw the two carved wooden shoes away. He smiled at the frightened people on the street. Fingers like a bird. Peck the skirt waist up and up. A pair of plain feet in white socks were revealed.
Under the sun. Everyone only felt that the pair of socks was extremely white. They were all shaken to the point of staring. "Oh. . . "Yes. saw her smile. Put your foot across the rim of the basin. Deeply stepped on.
This stunned everyone. I don't know what she's up to.
The water face fragrance followed up. Place both feet in the basin. Moistened with wine. Gently purse your lower lip. Suddenly, there was a slight leap. On rice paper. Spin around and dance. For a while, the skirt flowers bloomed like the sunset. The dance is graceful like a person in the moon.
Everyone watched the dance fascinated. I don't know if it's been a moment or a hundred years. Suddenly, there was a slight flower in front of me. The fragrance of water is already set. The king covered his skirt like the world and smiled slightly: "I am favored by the third prince." This incense house bears my name. It opens today. If you're interested, please come in and have a few drinks. Give Xiaoxiang and the sisters a cheer. After saying that, he smiled and blinked his right eye. Splash Lama flicked her skirt and jumped off the end of the paper. Drift into the building.
The quadruplets and the stunning maids also chased after them.
Just when everyone was still intoxicated by the afterimage of that graceful dance. Suddenly, someone pointed out. When everyone watched. I saw that the long scroll of rice paper was fragrant with wine. The footprints are sparse. It has achieved a large and two small, branches, flowers and leaves with thorny roses.
