Tantai He reprimanded: "Bookworm, you can't even be the shopkeeper of Xuandanzhai. You can't even handle these noble ladies. If you get an official position, do you think you can survive in the officialdom?"
?”
"You know, the officialdom is much more cruel than my Xuandanzhai. People like you, who have no background and no background, have to play both sides and please the superiors and subordinates. It is much more despicable than betraying men."
Xie Li was thoughtful, and felt that what Miss Tantai said was very reasonable. He had always only immersed himself in reading, but this work for others had just begun.
Tantai Heqing continued: "Master Jinshi, I, a female prostitute, have taken over the Tantai Mansion since I was fifteen years old. I have gone from being poor and heavily in debt to the current situation. Moreover, every step of our daughter's family's public appearance is much more difficult than that of your men.
, if I put this thought into reading and writing, I may not be worse than you."
Regarding Tantai Heqing, Xie Li admired her from the bottom of his heart and said sincerely: "Xu Jian, thank you Miss for your advice."
"I don't dare to point it out. I just want to tell you that your grievance is nothing at all. If you don't have the capital to lose your temper, you have to endure it. If you can't endure it, you have to die!"
Xie Li listened to Tantai Heqing's words until the end, his tone was sarcastic and cold, and his face showed embarrassment.
Tantai Heqing walked to the table, took out a small calculation, and said: "The hibiscus ointment given to Mrs. Xu, plus other clothes and accessories, will all be counted on your head, a total of six
One hundred and sixty taels, your monthly salary is twenty taels, and you have to work here for three years for nothing."
Xie Li was surprised and blurted out: "Six hundred and sixty taels!" Unexpectedly, he was suddenly in debt and owed a huge amount of money.
Tantai He smiled indifferently: "Do you plan to owe these six hundred and sixty taels, or do you want to be a Jinshi who has lost his hands?"
Tantai Heqing is not short of money. She just wants to make Xu Jian understand that there is a price to pay for losing your temper and teach him a lesson in the future.
Xu Jian is straightforward, trustworthy and can be reused, but he needs to think a little better.
How can you become an official if you have disabled hands, which is equivalent to becoming a disabled person? Xie Li sighed, which was equivalent to admitting it.
Tantai He said calmly: "Xu Jian, one day you really seek an official position and become an adult, of course I won't be able to stop you."
Xie Li heard that Tantai Heqing was ready to let him go, so he quickly handed over his hands and thanked her: "Thank you, Miss."
Tantai Heqing smiled coldly: "But it's not that I look down on you. With your bookishness, you are at best a Jinshi with no merit."
The thank you gift was another awkward meal.
After Tantai Heqing left, Xie Li asked the deputy shopkeeper about Tantai Heqing.
Hearing that Tantai Heqing lost his parents at the age of fifteen, and raised his younger brother alone to support the entire Tantai family, I just felt that it was not easy for this young lady Tantai, and I admired this young lady Tantai even more.
I also heard that Miss Tantai sent out wedding invitations at the beginning of the year and was planning to get married. How did she know that her fiancé climbed up a high branch and abandoned Tantai Heqing?
While I felt pity for this Miss Tantai, I also felt deep pain and hatred for that wolf-hearted man. She said, "It's okay not to want such a ruthless and merciless man."
The deputy shopkeeper said: "Shopkeeper Xu, you are handsome and talented. Maybe you can..."
Xie Li immediately interrupted: "Shopkeeper Song, don't talk nonsense. Xu only has respect for the lady and has no intention of coveting her."
The deputy shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's right. The lady's aura is so strong that most men can't control her."
…
"Under the shadow of a flying dragon, there are white grass, red leaves and yellow flowers. It is a desolate time, and the master is at the end of the world again. When is it? When is it? When the lamp is half dim, when the moon is half bright, my heart is like thinking, and my breath is like a gossamer..."
The music was quiet and beautiful, and Fu Xie was so mesmerized by it that he couldn't eat half of the pastry in his mouth for a long time.
The strings stopped and the song stopped. After finishing the song, Xie Fu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Beautiful! Touching! Touching!"
Xiu'er smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, you are really lucky. There are only a handful of people who can hear this song by Miss, and it can be compared with those brothels like yours..."
Xie Fu laughed and said, "Miss Gu's singing skills are enough to make her a brothel courtesan."
Xiu'er spat: "Bah! The young lady is a lady from a famous family, how can she be compared to a girl from a brothel."
Xie Fu explained: "Xiu'er, don't look down on the brothel lady. She is the one who eats this kind of food. This is my high praise."
Xiu'er said: "Then I would rather not have such high praise."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, if I don't compare, Miss Gu is unique, and I can't find anyone to compare with."
When Gu Xianting heard him say that she was unique, her heart felt sweet and her lips were full of joy: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, can this song please your ears?"
Xie Fu said with a smile: "It is pleasant to the ear, but it is so sad that it makes me feel sad. How about this, I will play a happy song for Miss Gu to make Miss Gu happy."
Hearing this, Gu Xianting blurted out: "Okay."
Xiu'er heard this and thought to herself, after listening to this song, the young lady still dared to show off her embarrassment. It turned out that she was equally good at playing, playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was truly a match made by heaven, fulfilling the young lady's wish for a good husband.
"Xiu'er, take sister Heqing's piano."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "No, just use Miss Gu's pipa."
Gu Xianting was stunned: "My Pipa?"
It was not surprising that a man was good at playing the lute, but she had never seen him play the pipa before. It was not that he had never seen one before. It was just very rare. It seemed that the former prince was a pipa master.
Xiu'er also said with confusion: "What the hell?"
Mr. Xie is stationed in a brothel. Since he has to compose pipa music for the ladies of the brothel, how can he not be proficient in pipa? After all, he plays the qin to show off his skills, plays the pipa to excel, and plays the flute to his absolute best.
A flute of "Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix" brings about the miraculous arrival of the phoenix. Who else in this world can do it?
Gu Xianting had a strange expression: "Then... then give it."
Just as Xie Fu was about to take it, he suddenly withdrew his hand and said, "I'm going to clean my hands first to avoid contaminating Miss Gu's pipa."
Gu Xianting smiled.
Soon Xie Fu came back and took the pipa. The two women looked at it seriously and looked forward to it.
At this time, Xie Fu stopped and said: "Prepare a pot of wine. I will feel better when I drink."
Xiu'er said displeasedly: "Just play the pipa, there are so many things to do."
Gu Xianting said: "Xiu'er, go quickly."
The lady gave orders, and Xiu'er didn't dare to disobey. When she left the embroidery building, she informed her. Immediately, a servant brought some wine. Xiu'er took it and brought it up to the embroidery building: "Here it comes, here it comes."
Mr. Xie put the jug to his mouth and took a swig to feel refreshed.
When Gu Xianting saw wine on his lips, he immediately felt that Mr. Xie's temperament was completely different. How should I put it, it was as if he had changed from a humble gentleman to a prostitute in a brothel.
Xie Fu never left his hand with the pot, and even played the lute and lute with one hand.
Just from the beginning, the two women were surprised.
Gu Xianting is also considered a pipa master. In her understanding, pipa is an instrument that cannot be played with both hands. The left hand presses the strings to produce the pitch, and the right hand strums the strings to produce the timbre. Both are indispensable.
After careful examination, I can see the secret. Mr. Xie's hands are as fast as lightning. He has already played the strings before the strings have been reset. How can this hand be so fast?
The songs Xie Fu played and sang were local ballads, which were similar to the ancient Yue style, and the emphasis he used was also Yue Yue style.
"Where are the peach blossoms blooming in the first month? Beautiful red flowers line the banks. The beautiful flowers are blooming in the garden, and the peach blossoms are also blooming outside the wall."
"February is the time when the peach blossoms bloom, and the bright red flowers line the banks. The beautiful flowers bloom in the garden, and they bloom outside the wall to see my aunt."
When Xie Fu sang "Look at my aunt", he gave Gu Xianting a sharp look. Gu Xianting was a little confused by his gesture, and after realizing it, his cheeks slowly turned red.
