Seeing that the three of them knew the serious consequences, Yang Chendong laughed, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed that Miss Xiang, who was not far away, was looking at here, and beside her stood the bustard sister Cui Na'er with an anxious expression, the corner of her mouth twitched. It was slightly upturned, and the folding fan of the crescent bone opened "swish" all of a sudden, gently fanning that elegant and handsome face. "Come on, drink, drink, let's get drunk now when we have wine."
While greeting Xu Chengzong and the others, Yang Chendong was waiting for the fish to take the bait.
On one side of the stage, Miss Xiang clenched her hands tightly, and because of too much force, a trace of white began to appear on her slender fingers.But she didn't care at all, she just stared closely at Yang Chendong's direction, pursed her lips and said nothing, she still had a little calm look before.
Beside Mrs. Xiang, an old lady, Cui Naer, who still has charm, was chattering to herself: "Xiang'er, do you really plan to worship the sixth young master as your teacher? Although my sister listened to the three pieces of music just now. You are shocked, but he is an official and a nobleman. We are just the most lowly actors, and our identities are too far apart. Even if you are a famous lady in the capital, if you want to be a teacher, I am afraid that he will not agree. You're just humiliating yourself."
Lady Xiang, who had already summoned up some courage, clenched her fists even tighter, and there was a struggle in her eyes.But in the end, his footsteps seemed to be tied to a boulder, and he still didn't take that step.
Yang Chendong, who was sitting there having a drink and chatting and laughing with his new friends, noticed from the corner of his eye that the lady Qianxiang did not come over in the end, but disappeared from the side of the stage under the pull of the bustard sister Cui Naer, and his heart sank. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "It seems that I still overestimated Mrs. Xiang. She is always a woman, and she is the kind who is humbled in terms of status. She doesn't even have the courage to ask me for advice. I originally planned to do it after she appeared today. The idea of taking him under his command can only be temporarily given up."
Although the plan encountered some difficulties temporarily, in Yang Chendong's view, it was not a bad thing.At least tonight, he became famous with three songs.Miss Xiang may have too many worries, but a bold female artist will eventually appear.Opportunities are always for those who are prepared.
After drinking three more glasses of wine, on the street outside Jiuyifang, there was the sound of a watchman beating the clock, one clock at a time!
Chapter 69 Snow Maiden's Decision
The law of the Ming Dynasty had the law of "night ban".The regulations are clear, no travel is allowed when the evening drum is sounded at three o'clock in the morning, and no travel is allowed until the morning bell is sounded at three o'clock in the five o'clock.Those who walk on the street at the second, third, and fourth watch will be beaten fifty times; those who commit night crimes after the first night ban and shortly before the fifth watch is lifted, will be beaten forty times.
As soon as the drum beat, the guests in the hall began to walk out.Yang Chendong's family lived outside the capital, so naturally he had to go one step ahead, otherwise, he might not be able to reach the south gate in time.
"Several, it's time, I'm leaving!" Yang Chendong stood up and cupped his fists at Xu Chengzong and the others.
"Dong Shuai go slowly." Xu Chengzong and others got up and saw him off with smiles on their faces. Although they just met each other, they had a feeling that they hated seeing each other later.
If you want to say what Yang Chendong has gained tonight besides gaining fame, I am afraid that he has met these three friends.
Of course, the more important meaning is that on that night, the news about the three new songs was spreading rapidly in the capital. By the next day, people on the street had already started humming the song with a tinge of humming. Fresh and catchy new lyrics and music. "Peach leaves tip up, willow leaves fill the sky, you are here, Mr. Ming, listen to me carefully."
One morning, the maid Xiao Weier went out to buy breakfast as usual.As soon as he left the courtyard, he heard two young men who looked like scholars on the street humming this song that he had never heard before.
For a moment, Xiao Wei'er felt a fresh and tangy feeling rushing to her heart, and she stood there for a while, and she was completely obsessed with listening.
She didn't wake up until the two scholars had gone far away, and then went to the nearest breakfast shop with full of curiosity.It wasn't until he returned to the courtyard early after playing and looked at the young lady who was getting dressed, that he put the breakfast box on the round wooden table in a daze.
After that, he rested his chin on his hands, carefully recalled the song he heard in his mind, and then hummed softly along with it.
After humming a few words, he shook his head vigorously, with a anxious look on his face, as if he had lost something he loved.
"Xiaowei, what's the matter with you?" After such repetitions, is Xiaowei still immersed in her own world?The young lady's melodious voice, like a yellow warbler, came from my ears, "What are you humming? It sounds very nice."
"Ah! Miss!" At this time, Xiaowei Fang was like waking up from a dream, but sweat was already dripping from her forehead. "I just went to the street to buy breakfast, and I heard two people humming this song there. It gave me a refreshing feeling, so I learned a few sentences, but it's a pity that I didn't remember them."
At this time, Xiao Wei looked like she hated herself to the core, as if she had made a big mistake for not remembering the lyrics and music.
"What?" Seeing that young lady's expression changed suddenly, "Xiaowei, you mean, what you were humming just now was a new song sung by people on the street?"
"Ah! Miss, is this a new song? What kind of new song is it? Why hasn't Xiaowei heard it since he came back?"
The young lady who was grabbed by the arm and shaken by the maid Xiaowei was not fully dressed at this time, so that under the red hood, her slender jade neck was undoubtedly revealed, and her breasts were like creamy white jade, half-hidden. , with a plain waist and a tight grip, a pair of slender, moist and well-proportioned legs are exposed, and even the beautiful lotus feet are silently enchanting, sending out a seemingly seductive invitation.
If there are people who often come to Huajie here, they will definitely scream, accompanied by "Xue Niangzi", calling out her identity.
Lady Xue, whose full name is Shao Yuxue.It is one of the famous oirans in Jingshi Flower Street. It was once called the beautiful half city together with the fragrant lady Dong Hanxiang.
It means that both of them are beautiful and moving over half of the city. If the two are combined into one, then the whole city will be beautiful.
Last night, Mrs. Xiang was resting in the backyard of Baihuatang due to a woman's physiology. In addition to her young lethargy, she didn't know what happened in Jiuyifang, and naturally she didn't know the three new songs.
It's just that when I woke up early in the morning, I heard Xiaowei humming softly there, and I was attracted to come over, wanting to ask what happened.
"Of course it's a new song, and you know what Miss does. If it's an old song, then I can't possibly have never heard it before." The tone was very firm. The snow lady not only has snow-like skin, but also has a beautiful voice. She is very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If it is really an old repertoire, then she will definitely not have heard of it.
"It's a new song! Miss, learn it quickly. If you want to sing it, it will definitely attract more people to our Baihuatang, so you can overwhelm Jiuyifang." Xiaowei looked excited.Naturally, if it was because she wanted to listen to this piece of music, it would not be known to outsiders.
"Bah!" Xue Niangzi opened her red lips slightly, and she really seemed to be exhaling like blue. "Since it's a new song, the miss certainly hasn't heard it before. You girl, if you have the time, why don't you hurry up and find out the source of this song."
"Oh, Xiaowei will go right away." The lively Xiaowei who was reminded agreed, and rushed out of the room in a hurry, seeing the slightly disheveled Xue Niangzi shaking her head, "This Xiaowei! , is already 16 years old, and she is still messy in doing things, and I don't know who will marry her in the future."
When talking about marriage, Lady Xue couldn't help but frown slightly, she thought of her own background, thought of Xiao Wei's background, people like them have no right to pursue happiness, Perhaps the best ending is to die in Baihuatang.It's just that when she is really old, can she be accommodated here?
Oiran!It sounds like quite famous.
But in the final analysis, what I ate was nothing more than youth food.Once they grow up, their popularity will decline day by day. At that time, there will naturally be younger and more beautiful women to replace them. After a long time, how can anyone remember their youthful glory?
Just like what is said in the lyrics of later generations: "One step is wrong and life is wrong. Dancing girls are also human beings. To whom do you tell the pain in your heart? Because of the persecution of life, tears are swallowed. Is this fate? Doomed to live there It's been dusty!"
It is precisely because the experience of countless seniors told them that people like Xue Niangzi have long been prepared in their hearts.I just want to earn more when I am young, so that I can be considered able to solve my own food and clothing when I am old.And the appearance of new songs is often the best opportunity to make a person famous all over the world from being unknown. At that time, some rich benefactors will naturally come. With many followers, it is the happiest time in their lives.
Xue Niangzi had a feeling that this piece of music was so fresh and different, completely different from what she had learned before.Once learned, it will definitely become popular if it is sung, she must learn this song.
Hu Fu.
Hu Yan got up to eat and read as usual.
Of course, these so-called reading books are not those wonderful stories in Yang Bao, but books on women's training and women's virtues that contemporary women must learn.
To be a woman is of course to get married, and spend most of your life at your husband's house.How to be a good wife and take care of the housework for her husband has become a matter that most people deal with in their lives.
If you want to do something, you should act naturally.This requires women to be knowledgeable and reasonable, but also to learn the three obediences and four virtues.
The so-called "Three Obediences" and "Four Virtues" were the foundation of women's standing at that time
The "three obediences" refer to: follow the father before marriage, follow the husband after marriage, and follow the son after the death of the husband.
The "four virtues" refer to morality, appearance, speech, and workmanship. That is to say, for a woman, the most important thing is moral character, being able to stand upright and establish a foundation; , Speech (referring to talking with people to be able to attach meaning at will, to be able to understand what others say, and to know what to say and what not to say) and the way of family management (the way to manage the family includes caring for husbands and children, respecting the old and loving the young , thrift and other details of life).
Not only these, but also the three cardinal principles and five constant principles and so on.
It is precisely because of the etiquette and teachings of these so-called sages' books that women's social status has not been very high.If you are married to a man who likes you and is willing to share everything with you, it's better to talk about it, at least you still have the final say at home.But if you meet a man who doesn't care about others, you may be like sister Yang Qi, and gradually become a servant.
Hu Yan's grandfather, Hu Wei, is still alive. Although he is not young, he is still in good health, and he is also an important court official.
His father, Hu Changning, was the governor of Jinyiwei Town at that time, and he also had a lot of power.
With such a grandfather and father, Hu Yan doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, even if she marries and goes to her husband's house, with such a natal family, she probably won't suffer any big losses.
It's just that in the end, I have to live by myself, and relying on my mother's fate is not a long-term solution.This requires Hu Yan to be tough enough herself so that she can live comfortably all her life.Naturally, such as women's morality and women's training is a must-read homework every day.
Maybe it was spoiled by her grandfather and father. Hu Yan felt drowsy when she read these books. Although she just woke up, her eyes were still dull, and her head seemed to be missing some support. She paused from time to time. But he still reluctantly supports it, making it look really cute.
"Miss, miss." Hu Yan, who was hesitating whether to fight Duke Zhou for [-] rounds or not, suddenly woke up with screams.At that moment, "Duke Zhou" was also frightened and didn't know where he ran.
After the yelling, the maid Xiaoqing rushed into the study, creating a whirlwind. It is estimated that if she ran [-] meters at this speed, she should barely be able to pass it.
Chapter 70 Impeachment at court
"Xiaoqing." Seeing the girl's sweaty face and not being reserved at all, Hu Yan pretended to be angry and pouted her mouth angrily: "Don't you know what is prudence and what is restraint?" ? Look at your current appearance. You don’t look like a girl from the Hu family. Fortunately, you have been with me for so long, so why can’t you learn?”
