Chapter 12: Winning the Brothel’s Red Sleeve Move ()
Although Li You and Li Huan didn't deal with each other very well, and she still remembered that Li Huan despised her at the beginning, the key thing was that she had never come to show her kindness and apologize until now, and Yao Xing'er and Xie Laohuan even came to her door to beg for mercy.
But I couldn't stand Sister Li Mei's soft pleas in the same bed, so I had to agree. I thought to myself, what words should I copy? Nalan's poems about women are all mourning words, which is inappropriate. Then find a few to write them. Flowers and plants can also be used as allusions to women.
Suddenly, I remembered two or three poems about plum blossoms. With a thought, I came up with an idea and said, "I have a good way to make Huan'er become a famous artist."
Sister Li Mei was so happy that she hugged Li You and kissed him.
Li You smiled bitterly and said: "For this method, I am going to meet Yao Xing'er tomorrow. The Buddhist saying is to sacrifice one's body to feed tigers. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"
"What are you thinking about her when you are here at the slave's house? Isn't the slave's house good enough?" Sister Li Mei pretended to be jealous, then got on her horse again, hugged Li You and held her until death.
At dawn, Sister Li Mei deliberately pestered Li You again, which made Li You's back sore and his legs weak.
For the whole day, Li You was listless and half-dead in the county government office, which caused several rumors. Some said that Li You's firepower was useless, and some said that the enemy's army was too strong.
After finally staying up until dusk, Li You cheered up a little, only to see Madam Xie waiting at the gate of the county government office.
"There's no need to say anything, I'll go with you." Li You waved his hand.
After walking through the streets and transferring the property, Madam Xie led Li You all the way to Yao Xing'er's residence. She lived alone in a flower building. Li You came in for the first time and saw that the room was elegant and quiet, with bonsais planted, some calligraphy and paintings on display, and some chess and instruments on display. The tents are well-proportioned, and there are a few wisps of wind bamboo outside the small xuan window. It is very different from the piles of gold and jade in Sister Li Mei's place.
As usual, there was a table of wine and food. Madam Xie said a few jokes and then left, leaving Yao Xing'er and Li You facing each other. Yao Xing'er no longer looked as beautiful as before, and looked at the person in front of him blankly, and couldn't help but feel... Two lines of tears flowed out.
The two of them were really not familiar with each other, so Li You didn't bother to find a way to talk. He was also hungry, so he nodded and began to eat and drink alone without caring. When he was about 80% full, he looked up and saw Yao Xing'er's tears welling up as if they were free, and he couldn't help but sigh. She was hit hard enough by herself.
After taking another two sips of wine, Li You wiped his mouth, stood up and left. The energy he had squeezed out last night was gone, and he really had no thoughts about the beauty in front of him tonight. If it wasn't for the plan in his heart, he might not have come at all.
Yao Xing'er cried silently until she was sad, leaned on the couch and cried loudly.
I look like a bully, Li You sighed and walked outside without stopping.
Madam Xie jumped out of nowhere and hurriedly grabbed Li You in the corridor and said, "What's going on? What's going on? Don't be upset, Mr. Li..." She had to be nervous. Now Yao Xing'er only had half a life left. If If Li You compiles a crooked poem and spreads it, the remaining half of his life will be lost.
Seeing Xie Laobao's behavior, Li You felt bored. He didn't care about such a small person. He didn't know when he could treat others as a small person.
"Don't panic, bring me pen and ink, I'm going to write a poem on the wall." Li You said as calmly as possible.
Madam Xie's face was earth-colored, and the powder on his face trembled and fell down like scum.
Li You was secretly amused and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'm pitiful Yao Xing'er to give you a poem. If you don't want it, that's all."
"I want it, I want it!" Madam Xie, as if she had regained her composure, assigned a maid to bring the pen and ink.
The moonlight was very bright in the sky, so Li You used a lantern and moonlight to write quickly on the wall outside the door of Yao Xing'er's house. He wrote in a very elegant way: When Li You saw Yao Xing'er being lonely and desolate in the West River, he regretted being a scoundrel in the past.
Written by: One of the Ode to Plum Blossoms, Huanxi Sha. If I want to ask how thin the river plums are, I can only see the green skirts with sorrow. The musk deer bonnets are cold and cherish the lingering smoke. They can endure the cold evening and lean on the bamboos, so they teach the good spring not to open the door. The bottom of the loquat flowers
Collector.2...
Regardless of whether the calligraphy is good or bad, I copied this one first, then wrote the second one, and the rest was gone.
In fact, this poem describes the woman's thin, sad, lonely and boring posture, and also contains the word "school writer". It is very suitable for today's Yao Xing'er. Li You did not choose the words randomly and plagiarized it.
After I finished writing, I threw away my pen and left.
But he didn't go far and came to Sister Li Mei's house at Yuansheng Bridge. He called Sister Li Mei to take out her pen and ink.
Then he continued to write on the outer wall of this house: Li You of Xishui happened to visit this place. There was a girl leaning on the window. It was quiet and quiet, as if shining on the snowy plum blossoms. He wrote it with emotion. The second poem about plum blossoms has charming eyes. Don't compare it to Qionghua.
The make-up looks like white neon clothes. It is uniquely quiet and natural. Don't go near the east wall. The ice, jade, and bones are given by nature, but also desolate. It's a pity for the distant night, the cold smoke and the moon, and the sparse shadows across the window.
The moonlight is like a wash, the shadow of a tall and graceful young man in a green shirt is dimmed, the sleeves of his robe are dancing, and a few lines of ugly words are formed by breathing. Sister Li Mei and sister Li Huan were a little stunned when they saw it, but each person who watched it could only read the words.
The two poems Li You wrote tonight are about the scene and the emotion. It is really a romantic and interesting thing to use flowers to describe people and people to compare flowers. His idea is simple to express, just put together two poems, one for crown and one for praising plum blossoms, and one for praising plum blossoms.
Two names, one was written for Yao Xing'er and the other was written for Li Huan, creating the appearance of two families juxtaposed. Yao Xing'er's name was resounding, so Li Huan took this opportunity to take advantage of it.
After this incident, under the clamor of Madam Xie and Sister Li Mei, Yao Xing'er regained some strength and Li Huan also got some benefits. But what Li You didn't expect was that he was in the brothel of Xujiang County.
In a few days, his reputation in Guan's profession soared to the sky, and he was given the title Yue Xia Lang Jun by people in the world, also called Mr. Dian Mei.
All the prostitutes in the county, whether they can read or not, understand poetry or not, all hope that Mr. Li will stay overnight at their house and write an inscription next month. In this way, their worth will definitely rise greatly. This reputation and poetry have even spread to the capital city of Suzhou.
Here, a certain famous prostitute claimed that she was willing to entertain Li You for three days for free. If her handwriting had been better, it would have been ten days.
What is meant by "the classic history leans on the leaning bridge, and the buildings are full of red sleeves"? This is it.
A group of talented people in this city who claim to be romantic are very dissatisfied with Li You's reputation, but there's nothing they can do about his lyrics that they can't compare to. Comparing him with others is even more nonsense. After all, Li You is not a scholar, so why should he be good at it?
Secondly, in the minds of the people in the market, including prostitutes, scholars are people from another world after all, but this Li You makes people feel much closer, with a strong sense of substitution, and gossip becomes more enthusiastic, and his reputation
Naturally it is bigger.
Li Dianshi suddenly remembered a situation and burst into tears. Madam Xie wanted to buy his lyrics for three taels of silver per song. For the price of three taels of silver, he was so unhappy that he almost lost his job. And this sister Li Mei accompanied her.
After spending one night with him, I sent out a poem, and Sister Li Mei's one-night quotation was only three taels... It's a loss, it's a loss, I'm too soft-hearted.
As the old saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing; conversely, a blessing in disguise is a blessing?
After being proud for a few days, Li You soon regretted it. Character is always conserved.
