half life slave

I just heard Duan Xun say to the two women, "Come here, pick out the tunes you are good at, and sing two verses for the imperial envoy."

The girl in the crimson dress was more lively, and said with a smile on her pink face, "What do adults want to hear? I have recently learned Zhiqinyuanchun, so it's really good."

Everyone asked her to read and listen first, so she opened her red lips lightly, and chanted crisply, "It's too bad for me, I sigh the end of the world and the years, why bother to remind me so often. Nai Shuang's hair is full of three thousand feet, with a bright heart, and an inch is ashes." .Three paths in autumn, five lakes and sky far away, what is Confucianism to me..."

Before the recitation was finished, someone in the room shouted, "Hurry up and get out, who wants to hear these lamentations. Today is to welcome the imperial envoy, so I don't want to pick some happy songs."

The girl hurriedly lowered her head, and the little girl in plain clothes beside her smiled and smoothed things over, "It's because the slaves are in trouble, and there is also a pair of Saitian incense, which is most suitable, adults, please listen to this."

The two pleaded guilty and sat on a small stool beside them. The girl in scarlet clothes put down the Yueqin, took out the sandalwood board, and tapped it lightly.

Her singing voice is melodious and melodious, and she sings three sighs, "Off the hibiscus screen, the gold bottle is poured, and the audience is choking with love songs. Half of the new makeup is fragrant, and the ring is timid. Full exposure, Lingbo socks at the bottom of the skirt. The sky is a red wall, and the mountains are green curtains, separating Yinong from life. The soul of separation is dreaming, and the cool moon in Nanpu."

This song is really suitable for the occasion, it means singing the wine, laughing and embracing the sun.After the song was sung, everyone applauded with intoxicated faces.

Duan Xun turned to Gu Rongyu, and asked with a smile, "This girl's singing is quite pleasant. If you want to say that she has a good voice, she should also answer the words Yingyingyanyan. My lord, you should listen to the North tune more in the capital." , does this Nanyin still sound good to my ears?"

Where does Rong Yu know what the Nanyin and Beidiao are? Never heard such a decadent sound.

What's more, at that time, he was always standing behind Shen Hui, busy serving food and drinks, so he was in the mood to judge the quality of the music.

Now, after listening to it at first glance, I don't feel anything special, I can only praise it with a smile.

"Reward, reward these two skinny horses." Duan Xun stroked his palm and smiled, while ordering his servants to offer rewards, he poured wine for Rong He.

Lin Sheng was sitting next to Rong Yu, and now he moved closer, wondering, "Aren't these two human beings? Why do you call them skinny horses?"

Everyone here heard this, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Duan Xun glanced at Lin Sheng, smiled and explained, "It's no wonder that the Zhongguan didn't know, it's something unique to our Yangzhou. The so-called thin horses really have nothing to do with horses. They just describe these girls as slender, elegant and graceful." This is the trick that the screwdriver salt merchant thought Jinling powder was too charming and wanted to change the taste. "

After pouring himself a cup, he replied, "These girls were carefully raised by the matchmaker since they were young. They play the piano and the flute, recite poems and write calligraphy, draw and paint Go, play Shuanglu, wipe dominoes, and are so skillful and obscene. You're good at it. Zhongguan knows that this picky horse is also particular about it." He waved his hand and motioned for the girl in the moon white shirt to come over.

The girl got up immediately, and walked in front of him gracefully.Duan Xun's boss casually sang from the side, "Girl is visiting."

The girl responded and bowed gracefully.

"Girl go up."

Hearing this, the girl walked a few steps towards Duan Xun slowly.

"Girl turn around."

The girl took another step forward and stood under the lamp. Through the candlelight, everyone could see her face clearly. Her chin was pointed, her beautiful face was pitifully thin, her eyes were covered with long eyelashes, and she trembled slightly. Watching her raise her head slowly, she saw a delicate tear mole hanging in the corner of her eye, as if it would drip down at any moment.

The long follower at the side said again, "Miss, lend a hand."

The girl hurriedly stretched out her left arm, and lightly lifted her sleeve with her right hand, revealing a section of her arm that was as white as jade.

Everyone was admiring this section of jade arm, they only listened to one side and shouted again, "Miss Xianggong."

The girl raised her eyes slowly, her eyes pulsed like a pool of clear water, two streams of soft light rolled around and fell on her face, turning into a soft and lingering loveliness.

"How old is the girl?" The girl smiled and looked away, and said softly, "I am sixteen this year."

"Let's go again, girl." Her slender hands had gently lifted the corner of the skirt, revealing a pair of pointed lotus feet.

Everyone burst into applause.Duan Xun smiled complacently, "Up to this point, we have finished looking at the skinny horse. Only the last one is particularly important, and it must meet the seven criteria of thin, small, pointed, curved, fragrant, soft, and straight to be the best." If adults want to see it, why not ask her to take a closer look besides the shoes and socks?"

Rong Yu's scalp felt numb when he heard that, he hurriedly smiled and said no.He really couldn't appreciate the deformed aesthetic of the so-called lotus feet, so he naturally had to thank him, but he was very surprised how anyone could like such "beauty".

Duan Xun didn't force it, and told the girl to go back and sit down, because he asked, "What's your name?"

The girl hurriedly got up again and replied, "The slave's surname is Fang, and his name is Yu. The one obtained is a pure bundle of white grass. There is a saying that a woman is like jade."

"Okay, there really is a girl like jade!" Duan Xun was overjoyed, "What else can I sing?" Then she turned her head and asked Rong Yu with a smile, "What do you want to hear, my lord, please come and tell them to sing well."

Fang Yu lowered his eyes halfway, and when he heard Duan Xun's words, he suddenly raised his eyelashes to look at Rong Yu, and that look seemed to contain a thousand words.

Rong Yu's heart tightened, and he caught a glimpse of everyone's expectant faces, waiting for him to speak, so he had no choice but to respond casually, "You just sang Yang Yongxiu's lyrics, and he also has a piece of music that imitated Mr. Dongpo's composition." Man Tingfang."

Fang Yu jawed his head, plucked the strings of the qin immediately, and sang leisurely, "Going back and coming, half-life diverges, the end of the world is north, south, west, and east. Give to the king, Yao and Shun, and give it to all the princes. Win the old and strong, do your best, and the moon is the breeze. By the side of the Huanxi, Mr. Zui Ye, clap your hands and laugh at the children."

After singing, Duan Xun clapped his hands and sighed, "This little girl is young, but she is full of spirit. What do you think, my lord? If you agree, my lord will take her back and teach her to serve you, okay?"

All the people in the room looked at Rong Yu in unison at the moment, and then turned to look at Fang Yu, waiting for the imperial envoy's response in a silent and undercurrent of curiosity.

Rong Yu knew that Duan Xun must have asked this question, so he simply smiled calmly, "My lord, please joke with me, you forgot, I am a servant?"

At that time, the Dayin Dynasty really couldn't help eunuchs to play prostitutes, and even many servants would marry wives and keep concubines in private. Whether in Beijing or out of town, this is no longer a secret.

Duan Xun didn't expect Rong Yu to say that, he didn't care about the fact that he was "powerless", he felt embarrassed first, and didn't know how to proceed.

Just as he was silent, he suddenly heard the sound of clang. It turned out that Fang Yu was shocked and broke the string of the Yueqin in his hand.

Duan Xun was already worrying about how it would end, but he suddenly had an excuse, and scoffed angrily, "There are no rules like this! Take her out and ask the matchmaker to deal with it quickly."

As soon as the words fell, Fang Yu's face turned pale. As soon as he slipped out, he fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, but before he could utter the words of begging for mercy, he was forcibly pulled up by the long entourage.

As she struggled, she looked back, her gaze stayed on Rong Yu's face, her eyes were filled with grief and unwillingness.

Rong and his heart trembled, Fang Yu's eyes naturally wouldn't make his heart move, but his compassion broke out untimely. Although he knew that if he made a sound, his efforts for the night would come to naught, but after all, it was a young man. A fresh life, he couldn't just watch her wither and wither.

Clearing his throat, he shouted in a low voice, "Wait a minute!" Standing up, he walked in front of Fang Yu, picked up her Yueqin, and slowly connected the broken string, then turned his head and smiled at Duan Xun , "If the string is broken, it can be continued. Why should your lord get angry?"

Duan Xun looked at him full of inquisitive eyes, and said with an ambiguous smile for a while, "My lord understands the rhythm and knows how to cherish soft jade..." He waved at Fang Yu, "Come here quickly, and make a toast to your lord to make amends."

Fang Yu was timid, walked over to pour the wine according to the words, held the wine glass high to his face and lips, the fingers holding the glass couldn't help trembling, looking weak and weak.

Rong Yu sighed in his heart, took a deep breath, took the cup, and drank it down.

After a glass of wine, Duan Xun simply ordered Fang Yu to sit beside Rong Yu and fill him with wine and vegetables.After that, it became tolerance and intolerance for her to be scolded by Duan Xun, endured the discomfort in his stomach, and drank every glass of wine she poured. In the end, he could only hold on to his spirit so as not to let himself Appears drunk.

However, from the teasing and joking looks of the crowd, or half-smiles in their eyes, Rong Yu knew that he still lost today's battle.
