Chapter 42 Hua Wu
“Who is it?”
As this voice came, all the scholars in Ascott turned around angrily and saw a girl in white with wide sleeves and long train walking leisurely in the courtyard. She even had There is no ornament at all on her black hair, but her whole body is like a red plum growing out of the ice and snow, which makes people's eyes light up and makes them feel a little shocked.
But this shocking feeling does not come from her appearance, but from a kind of bearing that seems to be inherent in her body, which is impossible to ignore.
"Prince, why does this miracle doctor look different from last time?" The guard looked at him quietly, and was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
The man Xuanshang didn't speak, he just signaled the guard to be silent and continue reading!
"Ayu, you're here!" When Xiao Yun saw it was Xiao Jinyu, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face, walked up to him, and introduced to the other gentlemen in the hall, "Come on, this is my gentleman. Niece Xiao Jinyu came back from the North!"
"It turns out it's her!"
"It doesn't look like her! She's not as beautiful as her father, but I feel pity for her, but she's also unique and unforgettable. She's a beauty!" Lu Silang and Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
"And this figure, so graceful and graceful, it shows that he is a wonderful person!" Zhu Silang even whispered in the ear of another scholar.
"Yes, even if her appearance is not as beautiful as her father's, you can tell from her figure that she is charming!" The scholar also whispered.
At this moment, Xiao Jinyu was still disguised as her mother. She was open-minded at first, but when she was looked up and down by so many sticky eyes, she couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in her heart. But at this moment, Xiao Yun came up to her, He actually reached out to grab her wrist.
Xiao Jinyu immediately took out her hand, took a step back, and said: "Uncle Yun, don't touch me, Ayu will be very scared!"
When she said this, her voice was almost coquettish, making people angry but inconvenient. Suddenly, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and then more eyes looked over here!
Unexpectedly, the sister-in-law spoke so directly. Several noble men from aristocratic families couldn't help laughing out loud. Even the guard who was quietly watching from the attic couldn't help covering his mouth for fear of laughing.
Xiao Yun's face suddenly turned red, and he was so embarrassed that he had to retract his hand, and gestured "please" to Xiao Jinyu to sit on the futon laid out in the middle of the hall.
"Little lady, what did you just say?" Lu Sheng couldn't help but asked jokingly.
Xiao Jinyu then said: "Ayu wants to say that this thing about flowing water and drinking wine is what elegant people like. You are here just now to criticize others. Don't you think it is burning the harp and boiling the crane, which is an insult to elegance?"
"You——" Kong Langjun said displeasedly.
Lu Sheng quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Yes, what the young lady said is that we are the ones who have made unreasonable comments about King Lanling. I am a person who knows my mistakes and can correct them. If he were here, I would definitely apologize to him! However, little lady Madam, since you are here, shouldn’t you also accompany us for a drink?”
After that, he signaled to Xiao Yun. At this moment, Xiao Yun seemed to have recovered from the shame, anger and anger. He hurriedly called the maid to bring the wine glass, filled it with bright red wine, and said with a smile: "I have an appointment with Ayu today. I came here to apologize to Ayu on behalf of my mother. This glass of wine is regarded as the apology wine. I will drink it all first!"
After saying that, he really drank the wine in one goblet, and then ordered the maid to pour another cup and handed it to Xiao Jinyu. Seeing that Xiao Jinyu hesitated to take it, he added, "What? Ayu doesn't believe my sincerity." "?"
"That's not true, I'm just not used to using other people's things!"
Xiao Jinyu said, no longer looking at Xiao Yun, but took something out of his sleeve, put it between his index thumb and handed it to Xiao Yun.
I saw that the top of the thing looked like a hibiscus, but the bottom was a slender piece of transparent glass. It looked like a cup with "legs", but it was also like a lotus standing in full bloom in a lotus pond. .
"What is this?" All the scholars couldn't help asking curiously.
"Wine glass!" Xiao Jinyu answered unabashedly, "However, Ayu is not strong enough to drink, so I'm afraid I can't drink much, so I use the wine glass as a measure. If I drink more, I won't drink, and if I don't refuse, I won't refuse. What do you guys think?"
"What's wrong with that? It's an honor for me that the little lady is willing to give me this noodles, don't you think?" Lu Sheng laughed again and said, "Little lady, please drink!"
His eyes once again cast a profound look at Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun also smiled, then personally fetched the wine pot and poured the bright red wine into Xiao Jinyu's wine glass.
"Please-" he looked at her.
Xiao Jinyu slowly brought the wine glass to her mouth. At this moment, even the guard in the attic became nervous and couldn't help but whisper to the man in Xuan Shang: "Is there any medicine in this wine?"
There was no medicine in the wine, it was just wine abundant in the Western Regions. Xiao Jinyu had already concluded it when she smelled the wine.
"But, does Uncle Yun invite me here today just because he wants Ayu to drink with you gentlemen?"
The word "accompanying wine" doesn't sound very nice. Are you using her as a ploy to please your gang of foxy friends?
Xiao Yun repeatedly denied it and waved his hands, saying: "No, Ayu has traveled thousands of miles from the north to come back to our Nanchen. I'm afraid she is not familiar with the scenery and beautiful scenery of Jiankang in our south. You just said that the winding water drinking room is favored by elegant people. Isn't there a saying that says, "The king of Kuaiji and his wife are in love, and the prince is in ruins and his daughter is in sorrow." What is the romance of the gentry? "When he heard the words "The king of Kuaiji and Xie are in love, the prince is in trouble and the daughter of Xie is sad" and that although Wang Xie has declined, Xiao Jinyu felt as if his heart was cut by a knife.
This At this time, Xiao Yun actually leaned into her ear and said: "Also, Ayu, don't talk about your uncle. You see, I'm not much older than you. Don't you call me old by calling me that?"
After taking a step forward with a puff of sleeves, Xiao Jinyu asked teasingly: "Then what should I call you? Xiao Lang?"
"It's not impossible to call me Xiao Lang!"
"That's right, if you call me uncle, let's call him Xiao Lang. We are all in the prime of life, don't you think?" Lu Sheng shouted again, and all the scholars quickly followed suit!
"Come on! Ayu, let's play the game of chasing the wine glass with the crowd!"
Xiao Yun's interest suddenly rose, as if he had completely forgotten the embarrassment just now. To be honest, he had tried many times, not to mention playing with this girl in the palm of his hand. Until now, he had not even touched a hair on her. bump into.
However, he is not in a hurry. Since she is here today, it is absolutely impossible for her to leave here intact!
"Can you compose poetry?" Xiao Yun asked again after finding a place to sit down.
"What kind of poem?"
As if he didn't expect her to ask such a question, Xiao Yun was startled, then sat upright and raised his hand to signal to the scholars around the pool hall.
"Come on, let's play a few songs for Miss Ayu to tempt her!" he shouted.
"Okay! Then I'll come first! We are chatting on the pillow by the north window, and the sun is not setting on the south eaves. Climb the hooks and fall down the barriers, and lift the pipa with the thorns. The dimples are blooming in dreams, and the flowers are falling from the temples in sleep. The jade lines are on the wrists, and the fragrance is sweating. Dipped in red yarn.”
Lu Sheng opened his mouth, and other scholars also followed up: "Xie Luo didn't need to be persuaded, so he stayed on his pillow and held the hand. He was afraid that others would see him, and he was shy in front of the candle."
"Relying on love is like wanting to advance, but being shy and refusing to go forward, the red mouth sings erotic songs, and the jade fingers play with the delicate strings."
"Su Xi doesn't comb her hair, and her silk hair hangs down on her shoulders. She's lying on Wanhua Lang's lap, and there's nothing pitiful about her."
For a moment, the air of coquettishness and the sound of laughter filled the entire hall. How could Xiao Jinyu not know that these poems were purely about describing the shyness and sadness of the singing girls in a purely appreciative manner. The poems were romantic and gorgeous. , which was first represented by the palace-style poems written by Emperor Xiao Gang of Jian Wen Dynasty, which mostly wrote about the food, clothing, sleep, travel, and private affairs of women in the palace. As time went by, it developed and became the sound of the subjugation of the country.
Jiang Zuo's style is indulging in the mysterious wind, scorning the ambition of brilliant affairs, and advocating the talk of forgetting opportunities. This is what Liu Yanhe, a famous scholar in Nanliang at that time, once said about it. It is precisely because of this that when Hou Jing was in chaos in Liang, the thousand-year-old noble clan was vulnerable to a single blow and was destroyed!
The fighting spirit to kill the enemy and dominate the battlefield has indeed been drained away! It’s no wonder that these powerless scholars were called two-legged sheep! Hou Jing can defeat the entire Nanliang with only eight thousand soldiers and horses!
But what Xiao Jinyu didn't expect was that twenty years later, these descendants of the southern aristocratic families still admired this extravagant and gorgeous style, and were obsessed with poetry, wine, and fun, without thinking about progress.
"How's it going? How about these poems?"
While Xiao Jinyu was thinking sadly and even clenching his fists with some annoyance, Xiao Yun suddenly came over to ask again.
Xiao Jinyu concentrated slightly, let go of her hand, and said with a smile: "Ayu really doesn't understand a man's thoughts. I'm afraid Zuo Si can't match such gorgeous words! Forgive Ayu for being stupid and not good at this poem!"
As soon as she said this, all the scholars showed disappointment on their faces, and Lu Sheng secretly said: It's just a vulgar thing with its own appearance!
Just as her thoughts changed, she heard her say, "However, although Ayu is not good at poetry, she is good at painting. If you don't give up, Ayu can offer you a painting dance!"
Painting dance? What is painting and dancing? Could it be that the red card in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion created the erotic dance?
Lu Sheng smiled in his heart and said, "Okay! What kind of painting can this little lady do?" He immediately urged Xiao Yun, "Why don't you ask someone to bring this little lady some paper, ink, pen, and inkstone!"
"Yes!" The maid bowed her head and retreated.
"Wait!" Xiao Jinyu suddenly called the maid and added, "Paper, I want seven-foot brocade, pens, I also want two three-foot Zhang Zhi pens, and I also want ten boxes of rouge and ten peach blossoms! "
The maid raised her head in shock, but saw Xiao Yun's eyes looking at her with deep meaning, and said: "Go and get it! Give it to her!"
Everyone was a little puzzled, and Lu Sheng even asked jokingly: "Little madam, what do you want these for? Could it be that the young lady wants to surprise us and draw a unique painting?"
At this time, Xiao Jinyu had already stood up. She stood gracefully, her eyes met Lu Sheng, and then glanced at the family members. Her lips parted slightly and she said, "Yes, today Ayu will make a picture of Chun Palace for all of you. How about it?" ?”
