Nightwatcher Chapter 52: 1 family members must be neat and tidy
The place where Yingmei Xiaoge entertains guests is on the first floor. It opens to the shoji door facing the courtyard, and a thin silk curtain hangs down to keep out the cold wind.
More than a dozen guests were sitting in the bar, drinking, laughing and talking, and enjoying the plum.
The four corners of the pub are burning charcoal pots to dispel the cold of winter.
A maid led Xu Qi'an in, and everyone turned their heads to look at this long-looking young man in a moon-white robe.
Xu Qi'an flashed the tea-playing rules described by Wang Cattou in his mind, try his best to make his smile more gentle, and confess to everyone:
"Xia Cai Yangling in Changle County, everyone is polite."
Among the people present, there are gentry in brocade clothes; there are also students from the Imperial College; their status is neither high nor low.
Some people looked away indifferently, some looked at it, and some smiled back.
It seems that during the period of Jingchao, the officials of Dafeng were a lot more calm and honest.....In the past, with the rank of Fuxiang girl, here is definitely a reserved place...Xu Qi'an took his seat calmly, his eyes always sticky. On the Oiran lady who is acting as "Xi Jiao".
Her face is full of spring, her eyes are beautiful, her fragrance is five colors, and her charm is natural.
This woman is very nice... Xu Qi'an with countless eyebrows was also amazed.
From the perspective of facial features, this oiran, aunt Xu Lingyue and Chu Caiwei are of the same level, with different attitudes and their own characteristics.
belongs to the kind of stunning beauty who walks on the street and can absolutely surprise men and look at them.
But in terms of temperament, this oiran has the beauty and elegance of everybody; in terms of dress, she has a tulle dress that women of this era dare not wear.
The fragrant shoulders are half exposed, the neck is slender, and the bra is wrapped in a layer of fan gauze, and the gully is looming.
If there is a ditch, there will be fire-it makes sense that she can be an oiran.
Fuxiang girl serves as the identity of Xi Jiao, also known as the commander. The commander is responsible for presiding over the wine order, and is responsible for the atmosphere on the table. This work is usually done by famous prostitutes or oirans, and ordinary women cannot do it, because Very high requirements for literary accomplishment.
This time, I was speaking in conjunction with each other in turn. The combined language is the right pair. On the left side of Xu Qi'an is a middle-aged man wearing a pale blue robe and ringing a bell.
just happened to be his turn, the middle-aged man toasted for a long time and said: "Ice cold wine at one and two to three."
The Oiran lady raised the small flag beside her, and commented (touted) to the Shanghai United.
The smile on the face of the middle-aged man has expanded, which is quite helpful.
This is the reason why Xi Jiao wants to be a famous prostitute with profound literary background. No level, ordinary prostitutes can't shoot even if they want to flatter.
After commented, the beautiful oiran lady, a pair of beautiful eyes fell on Xu Qi'an.
Everyone at the banquet also looked at it.
I'm not very good at pairing...It's very difficult just to be neat and tidy...Xu Qi'an is quiet on the surface, and is secretly anxious.
He looked at the plum trees in the yard, and he was inspired by a flash of inspiration. He deliberately drank a glass of wine, acting like a free and easy hero, and said loudly:
"Hundreds of lilacs have thousands of heads."
"Wonderful!" The eyes of everyone present lit up, and now, when they looked at Xu Qi'an, there was a little more smile on their faces.
is to admit that he is qualified to compete for Oiran and treat him as a player of the same level.
Fuxiang Oiran smiled, and commented on Xu Qi'an's Xianlian as usual (flattering).
The smile on his face is too professional.....I stopped looking at me immediately after the evaluation.....The sitting posture is a bit stiff, and I only drink when I persuade him...Xu Qi'an calmly observes the oiran The body language of the lady.
Combined with the knowledge of behavioral psychology, I came to a conclusion: This oiran lady is not good at our level.
has been patiently accompanied.
At this time, the maid brought a man in. He was a handsome young man with fair skin, cool eyes, thin red lips, delicate features, male and female faces.
Everyone in the room looked sideways, and even the fragrant oiran showed a surprised look. She didn't see many such a handsome little man.
The young man dressed as a scholar entered the house, his eyes swept away at random, froze in vain, and froze in place.
Xu Qi'an's eyes jumped wildly, and for a long time he held back a sentence: "What a coincidence."
The corners of the handsome young man's mouth twitched, and he also sighed: "What a coincidence..."
"The two know each other." The middle-aged man in a pale blue robe beside Xu Qi'an was surprised.
More than knowing, he is my little brother...Xu Qi'an suppressed the shame and embarrassment of turning over the river and the sea, and smiled calmly: "There have been several fate, Brother Xu still remembers Yang, we will meet in Changle County Over."
He deliberately reported his surname to remind Xu Xinnian to use a pseudonym.
This is the most basic anti-reconnaissance awareness.
Xu New Year lacks this kind of awareness, but he is smart, and immediately got what his cousin meant, and clasped his fists at everyone: "Xu Ping An, Changle County student."
finished speaking, he took his seat under the instructions of the maidservant.
Are you mixing the names of my second uncle and me... Xu Qi'an concealed the groove in his heart by drinking.
The wine order continued, and after a while, the maid brought the two in again. The one on the left was handsome, wearing a thick azure robe, a jade pendant on the waist, and a glistening hosta with hair. He was a talented young man.
The man on the right is burly and tall, with a face with Chinese characters, good-looking features, dressed as a rich man, and he has a sturdy atmosphere that is very different from that of merchants and students.
The middle-aged man with a tall stature stepped into the tea room, swept it at will, and suddenly stopped, and then became petrified.
Xu Qi'an: "..."
Xu New Year: "....."
The maid found that the customer did not follow, turned her head and judo: "Master, please here."
"Ah...oh oh..." Xu Pingzhi bit his head and entered the bar.
Xu Xinnian and Xu Qi'an silently straightened their waists.
After the second uncle Xu took the seat, the three of them did not look at each other tacitly, but maintained a serious sitting posture, watching the nose and the heart.
Didn’t the two rascals say that there’s no time....It’s nothing more than saying goodbye. After all, I know a little bit about his true inner thoughts.....Ning Yan never checked the bar... ..
Didn’t the second uncle say that I’m on duty tonight... Every time I had a conflict with my aunt before, he said that it was a blessing for eight lifetimes to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law in this life, and he didn’t want to scold my aunt.... , Hasn't come out for a prostitute yet.
didn't he never go to check the bar... I said why my robe is missing, bah, shameless. Didn’t Dad say that I love my mother and never enter the land of fireworks...
The inner drama of the three people is far more colorful than the stiff expressions.
Xu Qi'an felt that the most embarrassing thing in life, added another. That was when I went out to prostitute, I met my second uncle and younger brother.
My mom, I'm also socially dead...
I thought about it, anyway, I was not the only one who died, so I felt much better.
The wine order continues, Xu Xinnian's response is fairly satisfactory. After all, he is a scholar. Xu Qi'an depends on his status. Sometimes he can't get up to it, so he can only be fined for drinking. But Xu Pingzhi was not drinking from start to finish, and was disgusted by everyone.
Second uncle is really inexhaustible, you have never read a book, what are you coming to join in the fun, Oiran is you want to sleep, you can sleep if you want to sleep? Xu Qi'an complained inwardly.
Father is really a waste of money... Xu Xinnian also complained in his heart.
Both of them were a little anxious, because they were so mediocre that they didn't win the favor of the oiran. Because Xu Xinnian, who looks good with skin, is too compliant, he is gradually not being watched by Oiran.
The most terrible thing is that there is a strong competitor on the court—the handsome young man in a thick azure robe.
He was born in the Imperial College and was quite talented. Although he was late to the table, his outstanding talents took the limelight and made the Oiran lady chuckle from time to time.
The young man in the azure robe picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said loudly: "This time, I might as well let the next go first."
Everyone has no opinion, and the fragrant oiran smiled and said, "Master Zhao, please."
Gongzi Zhao looked around the crowd and said: "Song Ye Zhu Ye Ye Cui."
"It turned out to be a repetitive couplet." Someone on the table was taken aback.
"Song Ye Zhu Ye Ye Cui...wonderful, wonderful, ashamed."
"Brother Zhao is a great talent, worthy of being a scholar of the Imperial College."
came back in a round, and everyone was able to match ~IndoMTL.com~ Young Master Zhao smiled faintly and looked arrogant.
The Fuxiang girl has shining eyes, and looks at Zhao Gongzi.
Judging from her expression and subtle movements, the oiran has a good impression of the surname Zhao and appreciates his talent... Xu Qi'an frowned and turned to look at Xu New Year.
The latter just seemed to have a sad look between the brothers' eyebrows.
Originally, according to Xu Xinnian's meaning, the eldest brother who is good at poetry and talent should be like a fish in the water at Jiaofangsi.
Unexpectedly, after a long period of time, I went for a drink and fist and went to the pair in turn, but there was no poetry.
Actually, in Jiaofang Division, playing in Chawei, the poems have been half lukewarm. In the past two hundred years, there have been few excellent poems and scholars are not good at writing poems and lyrics.
When you play Chawei, you will naturally avoid what you are not good at.
The quality of the guests present tonight is uneven, and it is a bit difficult just to match the pair. The fragrant oiran has a heart-warming attitude, and deliberately does not mention poems, lest the guests lose face in embarrassment.
At this time, the fragrant oiran stood up, blessed his body, and said softly: "The little girl is a little tired, so let's retire first. A few slow drinks."
This tea round is over.
Next, if the Oiran lady takes a look at someone, she will let the maid keep it and introduce it into the house.
If you don’t check it out, the maid will see you off, and then open the next round of tea.
Everyone waited with expectation and anxiousness. Time passed a little bit. After half a stick of incense, a maid came and said softly:
"My lady invites Zhao Gongzi into the house for tea."
The guests shook their heads regretfully, and sighed, and some smiled and congratulated Young Master Zhao.
Young Master Zhao smiled, as if he was a winner.
Now, the three men of the Xu family can't sit still.
