"The poem 'Clear water brings out hibiscus, and nature removes the carvings' is the most suitable way to describe Ran'er's temperament." Tang Ji did not continue to call her Miss Jiang, feeling that Ran'er was more approachable.
Jiang Ran didn't pay attention, but stopped where he was to ponder the poem.
Tang Ji stopped in front of her and stared at her: "The face is like a silver plate, the eyes are like apricots, the lips are red without dots, and the eyebrows are green without paint. I am afraid that this kind of beauty is like that of a famous flower who will fall in love with the country. She will often win."
The king looks at it with a smile."
"Look, these hands are like catkins, their skin is like gelatin, their collars are like caterpillars, their teeth are like gourds and rhinoceros, their heads are like moth-like eyebrows, they have a charming smile, and beautiful eyes." Tang Ji spread his palms and followed the introduction in his mouth.
He moved his position, and finally turned his palms to the sky, squinted his eyes, and sighed: "It reminds me of the scene where I met you in my dream last night. It can be said that 'there is a beautiful woman who lives in an empty valley'."
Jiu'er opened her little cherry mouth in surprise. She was very surprised that Tang Jili could write poems. Of course, she was more concerned about why this degenerate dreamed of her own lady!
Soon, Tang Ji walked up behind Jiang Ran and whispered: "Ran'er!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran slowly turned around, with a pair of smart eyes filled with confusion, as if waiting for his next words.
Tang Ji continued to pretend to be very meaningful and continued: "Every frown and smile is like a fairy in the heaven. If the king sees it, he will definitely sigh, 'Look back and smile with all the beauty, the pink and white in the sixth palace have no color'!"
He used four verses and several four-character idioms in a row, praising Jiang Ran to the sky, and Liu Lu's face turned green as he stood aside.
Tang Ji was not polite, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Liu, how do you do?"
Although Liu Long was a poor scholar, he had read a lot of poems. He was sure that the poems he just heard had not been seen in books. He didn't expect that the other person didn't look that good but had such high attainments in poems. But at this time, he
Not wanting to show weakness, he snorted and replied: "These are just single sentences, not even a complete poem. They must be top-heavy and flawed works!"
Of course it was impossible for Tang Ji to recite the complete poem. Not to mention Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", even Du Fu's "Beauty" is long enough. Besides, Mr. Du's life was rough, and he spent the second half of his life wandering around, which meant sadness.
It's all hidden in the poem. What kind of beauty chant is this? He coughed lightly and continued: "Flawed work? If I pick one of these four single sentences at random, it will be better than your bad poem!"
Hearing this, little stars suddenly flashed in Jiu'er's eyes, and she was suddenly fascinated by Tang Ji like this.
Looking back on all these years, it seems that this is the first time someone besides the master has stood up to defend the young lady!
Arrogant, how arrogant!
These were the only words Liu Long could think of to describe Tang Ji at this time.
He wanted to recite the verses he had written in his mind to compare with the other person's, but he thought for a long time and couldn't remember the content of the verses he had written. His mind was occupied by the four poems Tang Ji read, and finally that
A clear voice: "That bad poem of yours"!
Thinking of this, Liu Long's eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes. He hurriedly opened the yellow paper in his hand and read the contents, but the more he read, the more he felt that his writing was poor.
"ah!"
He yelled, tore the paper into pieces, turned around, and fled out of the courtyard quickly.
Tang Ji suddenly felt that what he said was a bit excessive. After all, he was just a plagiarism dog who liked to pretend, but when he thought about what the other party had said about biting people just now, he didn't worry about it anymore.
Jiang Ran was shocked and speechless. She grew up in a brothel and had a lot of exposure to talented scholars. Under the atmosphere, she also had some understanding and interest in poetry.
Although I don’t know how high Tang Ji’s four single lines can reach, they are definitely beyond her reach.
I couldn't help but have doubts about his identity again.
When Tang Ji saw the two of them staring at him, his face suddenly turned red, he touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said softly: "It's getting late, let's have breakfast first!"
Immediately, he and Jiu'er walked towards the kitchen one after another, but found that Jiang Ran was still staying in the same place, urging: "Miss Jiang, if you don't come over, I will eat your share together!"
"Hmph, how dare you!" Jiu'er snorted coldly.
"..."
Seeing the scene where the two were bickering, Jiang Ran smiled lightly, shook his head and followed quickly without thinking more.
...
After breakfast, the three of them went out together.
Jiang Ran warned Jiu'er at the street entrance where they parted, "Remember not to hurt others at will anymore."
"I know, don't worry, miss." Jiu'er smiled cutely.
Watching Jiang Ran go away, Tang Ji asked curiously: "What other evil things have you done?"
Jiu'er snorted coldly, pinched his waist with both hands, and walked side by side with Tang Ji, explaining: "In order to make ends meet, the young lady found a job for me to serve tea and water in the hook bar. It was okay at first, but later...
A man touched me, and I punished him. I almost brought him to the county government office... Since then, the lady has not allowed me to go out at will."
Tang Ji nodded slightly and glanced sideways at her. This little girl had a bad temper, but she was still a beauty. It was normal for her to be noticed, but Lao Zheng was in charge of the bun shop, so no one would cause trouble at will.
In this way, the two of them walked leisurely towards the bun shop, but they didn't know that there were two eyes locked on them not far behind.
After one of them thought carefully, he ordered: "You go and report the young master, and I will continue to follow."
"Okay!" Immediately, the two separated on the spot, and the latter quickly ran towards the busy street.
After a while, Tang Ji brought wine to Zheng Daqiang's bun shop. Looking at the busy figure behind the counter, he shouted: "Brother Zheng, I've brought you a helper."
"Okay, now my reputation has been completely established. There have been customers just now, and there will probably be more later. I am really too busy just by myself." Zheng Daqiang laughed innocently and wiped his shoulders with a towel.
Wipe sweat.
Tang Ji nudged the wine and introduced: "This is the wine I told you."
"Jiu'er girl!" Zheng Daqiang greeted politely.
The wine was also very familiar. He walked into the counter from the side and said with a smile: "Uncle Zheng, let me help you!"
"Uncle? Am I that old?" Zheng Daqiang murmured twice, but seeing that the little girl had already started to get started, he stopped thinking about it and started to guide with a smile on his face: "Just leave it here. This oil paper will be put out in advance later."
Once the buns are packed, the copper coins here should also be packed in..."
Seeing that the two of them cooperated quite well, Tang Ji felt relieved and said: "Brother Zheng, I'll leave the wine to you to take care of."
"Okay, okay!" Zheng Daqiang responded while busy.
Tang Ji didn't stop, turned around and walked out of the street, only to find someone looking at him from time to time, but he didn't think much about it and just speeded up his pace slightly.
He walked for a few minutes and soon turned into the main street. He looked at the countless shops on both sides and listened to the shouts of the vendors. Before he took two steps, the aroma of various breakfast items wafting from the roadside penetrated his nostrils.
, and occasionally bump into pedestrians passing by.
The prosperity around him gave Tang Ji a sense of impact and made him make some kind of decision in his heart.
