Volume 6, Long Huangtian Collapse, Chapter 122, Music and Dance
Shangyuan Festival, Xiao Sishu Mansion.
When all the guests heard that Mr. Wang had arrived, they all stood up one after another, with respectful expressions on their faces, and followed Xiao Sishu to the door.
Su Ling was the only one who didn't know who he was. He was still eating the preserves on the table with gusto without even standing up.
Xiao Jingshu came forward, pulled him up, and said coquettishly: "The Wang family is here, and you are still sitting and eating, are you going to starve to death?"
Su Ling held half a piece of candied fruit in her mouth and asked vaguely: "Master Wang? Who is Master Wang? Do you live next door?"
Xiao Jingshu pinched his arm again and said coquettishly: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Wang is the best in articles and poems in Jin Dynasty. Come with me to welcome him."
Su Ling glanced sideways at her and said, "A gentleman can talk or not, but you can welcome me. Why are you pinching me?"
"I'm not a gentleman, I'm a little girl..."
Su Ling was pulled by Xiao Jingshu, and as soon as she walked out of the main hall door, she saw Xiao Sishu and Xiao Cangshu, one on the left and one on the right. The guests were surrounding a strong man, who should be in his thirties.
He is about five years old. He has a clean face, no beard, and is dressed in plain clothes. He is not gorgeous, but he has the air to read poetry and books and be a scholar.
Then I heard Xiao Sishu saying with a smile as he walked: "The fact that everyone, Wang, can come to my house today will really make the Shangyuan Poetry Society of this junior generation shine brightly."
The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand and bowed: "Third Young Master, please don't be humble, let alone call yourself a junior in front of me, Wang Zhongsu. In this great Jin Dynasty, if we exclude the hermits in the Xuanyuan Pavilion of Liyou Mountain, there will only be one stone in the world.
Who knows that the young master has the reputation of Badou alone? I, Wang Zhongsu, am only a few years older than you."
Su Ling secretly thought, surnamed Wang, oh, it seems that there was indeed a character in that era. Could this person be alluding to him? It is said that the person in that era, who was in his forties, lost his eyebrows and died.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and took a hard look at Wang Zhongsu's eyebrows.
But I saw that my eyebrows were dark and thick.
He was meeting Wang Zhongsu and others. Wang Zhongsu saw in front of him a young man in white clothes who was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had sharp eyebrows and a handsome figure. However, he seemed to be staring at his own eyebrows, which looked a little weird. The one beside him
Her appearance is also very good, but she is a little more delicate.
Wang Zhongsu then came over and said: "These two young talents meet each other, I don't know..." Xiao Sishu hurriedly introduced: "Master Wang, this is a friend I met in Chongzhou, Brother Jie."
Wang Zhongsu gave a slight salute, and Xiao Jingshu quickly returned the salute.
Wang Zhongsu looked at Su Ling again and said, "This is..."
"My name is Su Ling, a doctor who runs a medicine shop..." Su Ling chuckled and briefly introduced himself.
Wang Zhongsu nodded, nodded, and suddenly repeated several times in a low voice: "Su Ling... Su Ling? But should you worry about Su Ling before the world..."
Su Ling really felt like the door curtain couldn't be hung up. Why did everyone mention this to me when they saw me? He could only smile awkwardly and said: "That was Su's young and frivolous words, which made everyone laugh."
Wang Zhongsu waved his hand and said sternly: "Master Su is too modest. He worries about the world's worries first and rejoices after the world's happiness. Faced with these words, we as scholars and those who are determined to serve the country should all do the same.
After reflection, we should use this as a spur, how can it be a joke?"
When Su Ling heard this, his face turned even redder. He secretly thought that he had copied an article by Lao Fan, but he didn't expect that the top literary master of the Jin Dynasty would think so highly of him...
However, Su Ling then thought about it. After interpreting his words, he reflected and spurred him on in front of these many well-educated young men, which was tantamount to establishing himself as the leader of the poetry meeting later. He was sincerely complimenting him.
Me, or did it happen on purpose?
When Su Ling recovered her thoughts, Wang Zhongsu had already headed towards the main hall accompanied by Xiao Sishu and others.
Xiao Jingshu then pulled Su Ling and whispered: "This Wang Zhongsu is from Yangzhou. Although he is now appointed as an official by Liu Jingsheng, Liu Jingsheng only regards him as a scholar and has never used him seriously."
Su Ling chuckled and said, "So he just wanders around, eating and drinking?"
Xiao Jingshu didn't dare to be happy even if he wanted to, she rolled her eyes at him and said: "What are you talking about? Which house can he go to for a favor? That is someone's honor. Some people want to invite him to go, but he still won't go.
..."
Su Ling curled her lips and said: "High-level alms, just one less bowl..."
Xiao Jingshu spat at him and said: "Wang Zhongsu was very happy and traveling around without a formal appearance all day long. No one in the world could write about him. In addition, one of his ancestors was a concubine of our dynasty.
Wei, a man who was once a Sikong in our court, so everyone respects him.
Su Ling muttered a few words in a low voice: "It turns out he is Shen Jizhou, a literary figure..."
Xiao Jingshu couldn't stop laughing now. She put her jade arm on Su Ling's shoulder, leaned her head on her jade arm, and started laughing.
Wang Zhongsu sat first on the right, opposite Su Ling. He had been looking at Su Ling since he sat down.
But Mr. Jie, who was sitting next to Su Ling, was actually a little attentive to Su Ling. He threw an apricot to him, and then ran over and took the peach back from him.
Wang Zhongsu looked at it for a long time, then shook his head and looked away.
When everyone arrives, the dancer performs the dance.
Su Ling secretly thought that this was a live performance. She must have a curvy waist and graceful dancing posture. She must be more elegant and exciting than the online anchors of later generations twisting their waists and crotching.
As a result, the dance music was slow, and the dancers also moved their left and right hands in slow motion...
I almost put Su Ling to sleep.
Xiao Jingshu secretly glanced at him and saw that he was dozing off for a while, and finally almost lowered himself to the low table in front of him, which made her feel funny in her heart.
Others were watching intently, and Chao Heng's eyes were shining. Why couldn't Su Ling be interested?
The dancer was dancing when she suddenly heard a "click-" sound coming from the main hall.
This sound was extremely inconsistent with the soothing dance music and seemed very abrupt. The musicians were disturbed by this and stopped and glared at the source of the sound.
The dancers also suddenly froze in place, covering their faces with their dancing sleeves, and their faces were all blushing.
Xiao Sishu, Xiao Cangshu and Wang Zhongsu all looked at the sound.
Suddenly, Su Ling fell down on the table, and his head hit a plate of candied fruits that he had eaten. The plate was knocked to the ground with his head, making a clicking sound.
But Su Ling was fast asleep and didn't notice at all.
The guests burst into laughter, and Wang Zhongsu also pursed his lips and smiled.
Xiao Sishu felt that Su Ling was really rude, so she could only nuzzle at her sister Xiao Jingshu.
Xiao Jingshu just thought that Su Ling was too funny, so she quickly walked over and poked him a few times. Seeing that he was still not awake, she could only whisper in his ear: "Su Ling, young doctor, wake up! Don't sleep.
Already..."
"Yeah!...Yeah!...Dancing well...!" Su Ling didn't understand the situation at all, thinking that the dancers had finished dancing, so she became sleepy.
He raised his head with a confused look on his face and said this vaguely.
But he suddenly got excited.
But he saw that all the guests were laughing and looking at him, and the same was true for the musicians and dancers.
Looking back at Xiao Jingshu, she smiled as brightly as a peach blossom.
Su Ling then cleared her throat awkwardly and explained: "I've been too tired from busying with the restaurant these past two days, and I accidentally fell asleep just now. I'm sorry...
Dear friends, I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's enjoyment, I'm sorry..."
As soon as Su Ling said "Dear dear friends", Fang knew that he had used modern words again... Anyway, they didn't care, so let's just say it...
Wang Zhongsu laughed loudly and said: "Master Su is straightforward, but he is a true-hearted person. It's just that Master Su can write articles and be a doctor. He is also a cook. He is really versatile!"
Su Ling understood that what Wang Zhongsu said was half praise and half sarcasm.
Su Ling didn't take it seriously and winked at Wang Zhongsu and said, "Come to my restaurant to eat sheep hooves someday! I'll give you half the price..."
Wang Zhongsu just hummed and smiled and did not answer.
Xiao Sishu then asked with an embarrassed look on her face: "Mr. Su, does he feel that the dancers' dancing postures are not good? That's why he feels drowsy?"
Su Ling hurriedly waved his hand, smiled awkwardly and said: "Very good, very good!"
Then he made the decision, waved to the musicians and dancers and said with a smile: "Keep playing...keep dancing!"
In an instant, faint music and graceful dancing began again.
Su Ling couldn't help but watch for a while, feeling that the opening dance was going on endlessly, and if it continued like this, she would probably fall asleep again.
He had no choice but to take advantage of everyone's eyes on the dancer, quietly walked up to Xiao Jingshu, and whispered: "Little girl... I'm going to go out and get some fresh air. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. There are some things here."
Sulky, I'll come back when the dance is over." Before Xiao Jingshu could answer, Su Ling winked at her and quietly slipped out of the hall.
As soon as Su Lingfu walked out of the hall, he felt that the air was circulating, and it was really not that oppressive. It was already the middle of winter, and the wind was very cold, but I don't know because today was the Lantern Festival. Although it was still a little cold, it was not as cold as the previous days.
It's extremely cold.
Su Ling was bored, and his sleepiness disappeared only when the wind blew him away.
It was the first time he came to Xiao Sishu's house. When he returned to the main hall, he felt quite uncomfortable. He simply tightened his collar and walked aimlessly through the corridors of the house.
The snow on the porch is pure white, with dots of winter plums, red flowers and white snow, which is really beautiful.
The fragrance of plum blossoms bursts into the air, and the air of simplicity and elegance hits your face.
Su Ling suddenly felt refreshed, took a deep breath, and stretched. Just when he was about to take a walk, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder. There was a fragrance that was different from plum blossoms behind him. He thought it was cold.
The aroma of fragrant pills.
Su Ling's heart moved and she turned around to see that it was Xiao Jingshu.
Under the white snow in the red corridor, the naughty and playful girl, wearing a light yellow book-length shirt, stood there with her hands behind her back, winking and smiling at him.
It's actually a different kind of beauty.
Su Ling's heart trembled, and then she lowered her head and muttered: "I just wanted to be clean for a while, and you follower came here."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingshu waved her pink fist at Su Ling and said: "You are just a follower... I came to my third brother's house for the first time because you ran around in case you got lost.
, what should I do if I can’t go back, so I came out to look for you, otherwise I wouldn’t bother to care about you..."
Su Ling was speechless and could only yawn and said: "Okay, okay, it's just that you're wearing a little less, just a scholar's shirt and not much of a cloak..."
After that, he took off his fur-collared cloak and put it on Xiao Jingshu's body. Then he turned to her and tied the cloak under Xue's neck for her. He said softly: "A little girl, not
Stay home well and come here to join in the fun. It's a cold day and you're wearing so little, so don't catch a cold again and pester me to take my pulse..."
Xiao Jingshu's pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head. She didn't know whether she was shy or happy, so she fiddled with her hair and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "I...those of mine belong to little girls...
.How can there be a man..."
Su Ling tied her cloak, and then looked at Xiao Jingshu again. She was really delicate and pretty, but also a bit sassy.
Then he nodded and said: "Okay, you can wear my cloak today."
Xiao Jingshu was shy. Su Ling saw her little girly attitude and hurriedly changed the subject: "I see those guests in the hall are Cang Shu. Everyone Wang is fascinated by these dancers. Why are you the only one running out?
?Is it possible that you are not interested in those dancers? Don’t they dance well?"
Su Ling waved her hand and said with a grunt: "What's so good? Those good-looking female anchors dance much more energetically than this one, such as any female anchor with teeth or fish, just pull out any one...
.”
When Xiao Jingshu heard this, a trace of anger flashed across her pretty face and she said: "I thought you were a gentleman, but unexpectedly you turned out to be unpalatable, but I asked you what kind of anchor you are, and which little girl you are from?"
Su Ling's head suddenly got big, and he scratched his head for a long time, and could only hesitate and say: "What kind of anchor is that? It's not some little girl..."
When Xiao Jingshu heard this, she became even more angry. Jade pointed at Su Ling and spat: "If you're not someone else's little girl, could you be the oiran from some romance shop in Longtai?"
When Su Ling heard this, she smiled bitterly and thought to herself, why did this get involved in a brothel again.
He could only wave his hand and vowed: "What, what Feng Yuechang... am I, Su Ling, like that? I swear not to mention Longtai Feng Yuechang, it is the Feng Yue Pavilion in the entire Jin Dynasty. I, Su Ling, am not like that."
I don’t know what it looks like... I’m going to talk nonsense, the sky is thundering.” At this moment, in the night sky, under the full moon, there was a sudden rumble of thunder.
Su Ling secretly thought, "Wucao! There is thunder in the first month of the year. Do you really want me to fulfill my oath?"
Su Ling leaned into the corridor and muttered with a sad expression: "Mu Yanqing doesn't count, okay, Brother Lei Gong..."
When Xiao Jingshu heard this, Su Ling said all the girl's names, with an angry look on her pretty face, she hit her with a pink fist, and said coquettishly: "Su Ling, don't you think I won't teach you a lesson?"
!..."
Su Ling called out, turned around and ran away.
The two of them were chasing each other, and unknowingly they passed through several corridors and were some distance away from the main hall.
Just along the way, the servants passing by stopped and looked sideways.
But these servants knew that the pretty young master behind him was the female young master Xiao Jingshu. Her unruly temper was famous throughout the Xiao family.
These servants were afraid to avoid him, so they dared not take any action. They could only pray silently in their hearts for the person who was being chased...
The two chased each other for a while, and Su Ling suddenly heard a strange cooing sound. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Xiao Jingshu teasingly.
Xiao Jingshu's pretty face flushed, she took a few breaths, and then she said with embarrassment: "I spent a whole day shopping around Longtai City to dress up like this, and I haven't eaten anything yet..."
"Su Ling...I'm hungry..."
Su Ling squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten anything? The candied fruits you took from my hand, the peaches are not considered eating..."
Xiao Jingshu rolled her eyes at him and said, "There's no point in counting this. These are just snacks and fruits..."
Su Ling rolled his eyes and said to himself: "Okay, you want something tough."
Suddenly he smiled, pulled Xiao Jingshu's hand and said: "Come on, come with me, I know where to find the best food, I guarantee your satisfaction."
Su Ling didn't think so much at first, she just pulled Xiao Jingshu along.
But Xiao Jingshu suddenly felt numb and numb like an electric shock. She lowered her head and her face felt hot and feverish.
When Su Ling saw her like this, she realized that she had been abrupt and quickly let go of her hand.
Xiao Jingshu then pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Where is the hard food you mentioned? How hard is it?"
Su Ling then pretended to smile mysteriously and said: "In the kitchen, it has to be as hard as it needs to be, otherwise I wouldn't dare call it hard..."
Only then did Xiao Jingshu smile, and suddenly walked forward, took Su Ling's hand with her jade hand, pulled him with a giggle, and ran away. As she ran, she said with a smile: "Why don't you go quickly...
..”
When she took the initiative, it was Su Ling's turn to feel numb and numb...
