Chapter 12 Fortunately, the little monk still has three disciples
There are not many banquets, and Liu Yu is really afraid of indigestion when he eats two banquets a day.
Not only was he worried about his stomach, but he was also worried that afterwards, Liu Liniang took out a bill to list various consumption-oriented purposes. By the way, Xiaohualou is not the place where people with shortage of money should come.
"Young Master likes to listen to the piano or the flute song?"
"Whatever."
"The young master likes dance in the south or the north, or the long-sleeved dance from the Western Regions?"
“Everything is OK.”
Liu Liniang gave Liu Yu a blank look from afar, obviously not satisfied with his plausible attitude, as if she was completely perfunctory to her.
"Then yesterday's sash dance is ready."
Liu Yu nodded listlessly and agreed. Liu Liniang flashed behind the pillar. When she came out again, she had already changed her clothes. She looked like she was wearing a gauze dress and naked ankles when she first met yesterday.
Change magic? Even changing your hairstyle, Liu Yu knew that there were no wigs in this world.
The sound of the flute sounded, and Liu Liniang began her sad and lingering dance. However, she said that the performance today had new tricks. This time, the "washing shisha" at the river was only a short section, and there was a "surprise" behind her back, as if she had been waiting for her return, and then she was happy and the dance became brighter.
Liu Yuxin said, could she be making some hint?
Liu Yu was not interested in dance, and he was drowsy when he jumped around and twisted, but since it was a dance performed for him alone, he had to finish watching it patiently.
After the dance, Liu Liniang walked over in a gauze dress. Only then could Liu Yu see clearly that she had a complete coat and small clothes inside her gauze dress, and nothing was leaking except her ankle. This was the method of a famous prostitute. It made the guests feel itchy and it felt like they were lucky, but they did not suffer any loss.
Liu Liniang poured a glass of wine for Liu Yu with a charming look on her face, handed it to Liu Yu's mouth, and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Liu has to say about the dance just now?"
Liu Yu originally wanted to ask Liu Liniang to sit down and say, but immediately thought that there was only one stool in the room. Could it be that she would sit on the bed three meters away? Or she could only sit on his lap.
"Opinion? No comments. The dance was graceful, very good, very good."
Liu Yu took that glass of wine, and it was not right to drink it. If Liu Liniang didn't look like that, she could kill people. She was afraid that there would be medicine in the wine, sweating, aphrodisiacs, and any other type would be fatal.
"Mr. Liu is saying this perfunctory to me?" Liu Liniang was obviously dissatisfied with Liu Yu's answer, showing some dissatisfaction, and adding a little bit of grace to her. "If Mr. Liu didn't comment carefully today and give some pertinent opinions, I will not let you go."
This made Liu Yu difficult. He really knew nothing about dance, so how could he give an opinion?
"Is this dance already very good?" Liu Yu carefully considered the words he spoke, "However, some places can be improved."
"What about?" Liu Liniang refused to let go.
"For example, the clothes you wear, you can improve. For example, you can wear less and change into clothes made of feathers. Will it be lighter to jump up?"
Liu Liniang blushed and said shyly: "Young Master Liu is teasing me like this? What is the difference between these feather-made clothes and not wearing clothes? It turns out that Young Master Liu likes you to dance for you without clothes."
"How can you say there is no difference? This difference is so big. You can sew more feathers and put them on your body like an old hen. You may also wear five-colored cicada veils and add some gorgeous decorations to dance like a fairy."
Liu Yu's inspiration was the "Dance of the Rainbow Dress" that he only heard but did not witness. After hearing him, Liu Liniang thought about it for a while, but finally did not make things difficult for him.
"Young Master Liu said that, you can consider it, but if you change into that kind of clothes, should you also make improvements in the dance music?"
"This... the problem of dance music is also very simple to improve, which is to... be brighter and add some drum beats, making people feel like falling into a fairyland."
"Oh? Drum beat?" Liu Liniang began to think again.
Liu Yu looked at the door and thought to himself that the three boys Sui Yi, the spider spirit, would start the main meal if they didn't come. But then he thought that even if these three boys came, they might not be able to come to the third floor.
"Bang!Bang!"
Two knocks came from the other side of the door, and a pussy's voice came: "Li Niang, Lord Sima's mansion in the city came up to invite him, saying that it was Lord Sima's 60th birthday to invite guests, and I want to invite you to come and perform a dance."
Liu Liniang walked to the door, opened the crack and said, "My grandma Sun, Liniang said that she would not go to Chang'an this time, and would not meet any irrelevant young master. There is a distinguished guest here, so Sun Madam will send Liniang's future people."
"Li Niang. You..." The madam looked into the door and found that it was a young young man sitting there, complaining, "Don't let the old man be embarrassed, you also know that there are many high-ranking officials in the capital. I... refuse anyone who is causing trouble for Xiaohualou."
"Since that's the case, then Li Niang will leave Chang'an tomorrow and will not cause trouble for you, Niang Sun."
"Don't...Don't..." The madam heard that Liu Liniang was leaving, as if she wanted to send a money tree away. "Everything is done, Yi Liniang."
The madam was about to leave when a voice came from outside: "I don't know which room Brother Wen Yan is in, or he hasn't arrived yet?"
Wen Yan is Liu Yu's character "天天". On weekdays, people around him are called "Brother Liu", "Brother Liu" and "Brother Liu". When you suddenly hear your character "天天天", it feels like you are a little uncomfortable when you hear your nickname.
"Shuda, I'm here!" Liu Yu shouted, and the people outside heard it immediately. Sui Yi poked his head through the crack in the door and happened to have a look at Liu Liniang.
"Liu...Miss Liu?" Sui Yi had a little surprise on his face, "I was disturbing, I was looking for a friend, and the voice seemed to be coming from the door. I must have heard it badly, so I left now."
"Since you know you're looking for the wrong door, then leave." Liu Liniang said with a calm expression on her face.
"Who said you were looking for the wrong thing?" Liu Yu stood up and walked a few steps towards this side. "Sui Yi, Li Mi, and Hu Xuan are friends here. Today I invite them to come together."
"It's true here." Sui Yi not only heard it, but also saw it. He pushed open the door and walked in without hesitation, nor did he look at Liu Liniang's almost murderous gaze.
"Brother Liu, you really know how to find a place. You actually enjoy the gentle fragrance in Miss Liu's boudoir, which made us search outside for a long time." Li Mi walked to the table and found a major problem. This room had not prepared seats for outsiders.
"It turns out that the three are Mr. Liu's friends, but today I only entertain Mr. Liu, and have not prepared a seat to entertain the three of them." Liu Liniang said in a bad tone.
"It's okay, it's okay, we can stand." Sui Yi finally entered Liu Liniang's room, and he didn't want to leave so quickly without losing his happiness.
With these three troublemakers here, Liu Yu almost laughed out loud. So what if the spider spirit is scary, as long as Tang Seng is still surrounded by his three disciples who like to make trouble, you will be angry and have nowhere to do it.
Sui Yi was very enthusiastic when he entered the door. When he asked Liu Liniang about her well-being, Liu Liniang's expression was a little weird. It was not annoying, and even her perfunctory mood was gone. Liu Yuxin said that finally let you understand what you do not do to others.
"Several young men, I'm a little tired and want to go and rest." Liu Liniang was forced to no avail and knew she couldn't tease Liu Yu anymore, so she had to say in the end.
"Since Miss Liu is tired and can't bear to drink, I'll say goodbye." Liu Yu didn't even drink wine when he said this.
"This... we just came in and we were leaving..."
Sui Yi was still very unhappy, so Liu Yu pulled him out of the door. When he walked out of the door, he felt as if he had been through a gate of hell, and he was in a state of ease.
It was still early, and Sui Yi and the others wanted to continue to find happiness, but Liu Yu was not interested and said goodbye early and went home.
When I returned to the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion, I found that the mansion was very lively today. There were red lanterns hanging outside like a festival, and the servants were also busy with work.
"Twelve Young Master." A servant of a low-level level came over, "Today is the second young master's birthday. With the emperor's holy grace, the eldest young master, the second young master, and the third young master have been promoted at the same time. The marquis's mansion is opening a show, and the marquis also let the young master know you when he sees the twelfth young master comes back."
The opening show? No wonder it is so lively.
"My sister... Miss Liu is also there?" Liu Yu couldn't help but think of his mother's sister.
"No, Miss Six's young master is sick, so he hasn't been there."
When Liu Yu heard that his nephew was sick, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He said that in this world, the one who cares about him the most was this sister. He went to take care of him every day when he was on the sickbed, and he was even more tired than those maids and servants.
When I walked to my sister's yard, only my sister's room was still on. In the Liu Mansion, the young master could have his own private courtyard, while the lady or the other party could only live in a shared courtyard. My sister was originally married, but now her husband has died and has moved back, and her life is quite deserted.
Originally, Liu Zhao wanted to remarry his daughter. Although her daughter has excellent figures and looks, she died after all, and was said to be a husband. In addition, her son with a burden, those who are interested will become heartless.
"Sister." Liu Yu knocked on the door, and soon a figure came over from inside. Opened the door, and a slender and graceful woman stood at the door.
It is Liu Yu's sister Liu Jue.
"Brother, is it you?"
Liu Yu rarely comes here, mainly because there are too many people in the yard, and it is not convenient to come here on weekdays. It is rare that everyone in the yard will go to listen to operas today. My nephew is still sick, so it would be a bit slow to treat my sister if she doesn't come to see her.
Liu Jue led Liu Yu into the door. His little nephew Cao Zhan lay on the bed with a towel on his head. When he saw Liu Yu's originally a little discouraged face, he wanted to jump up: "Uncle!"
"Lying down honestly, this time my uncle is not asking you to play football. I want to go out and play to cure my illness first."
Cao Zhan was five years old and could run all over the yard. The young children who were not yet confused had nothing to do except play. Liu Jue was married and was not well treated after returning to the Marquis's mansion. He only had one or two taels of silver a month and had to raise Cao Zhan, and he didn't even have a maid, so his life was quite hard.
"Sister, take this little silver and treat Xiao Zhan." Liu Yu took out twenty taels of silver and put it on the table.
Liu Jue refused, with a little joy on his face: "When my mother passed away, the one who was most worried about was you, saying that you didn't learn much and didn't know how to be frugal, and you were afraid that you would not be able to cultivate your nature in the future. Now it seems that my mother was worried too much."
"In the past, my sister took care of my younger brother and took care of her many places, so she thought it was a reward." Liu Yu said, "I found a good family in the future and my sister got married. After all, staying in the Marquis' Mansion is not the right way."
"Who is willing to marry again with such a sister?" Liu Jue's face was a little sad and immediately smiled, "Besides, the Marquis' Mansion is also very good. My father is valued by the emperor, and no one dares to bully us."
"You really think that the emperor values our Marquis' Mansion?"
Liu Yu said it, but he couldn't help but not want to say it.
"What, no?" Liu Jue was a little surprised. "Several brothers have just been promoted. Isn't this a great gift from His Majesty?"
Liu Yu really didn't want to say that this was the time when the emperor was about to change his emperor. Since ancient times, the emperor was once a minister. Although the old man Liu Zhao was nominally unparty, everyone knew that he was very close to the third prince. After all, the third prince had gone to the battle with the old man to experience. The three elder brothers who were officials in the court were all in the third prince's ranks. This time the emperor promoted the three young masters of the old man, which was clearly a knife to the third prince.
Since ancient times, when emperors attacked certain parties, they would definitely promote and then suppress them. This is also called rituals first and then soldiers. That is to say, the third prince is not the candidate for inheriting the throne in the eyes of the old emperor.
It’s a pity that the entire Marquis’ Mansion, including the old man, has not yet realized this level of enlightenment.
"Forget it. Some things are inconvenient to explain clearly, and you will see each other in the future." Liu Yu said, "This time I came here to see Xiao Zhan. He is just a normal typhoid fever. He will soon be fine if he sweats a little. I'll go back and rest first."
Liu Yu walked out of his sister's room and turned around and saw her watching her leave. However, he thought in his heart that he would marry her sister out of the future if he had the chance. With a husband's family, women could find support in this world where men were in power and would not be affected by the decline of the Marquis' Mansion in the future. After all, he didn't know whether he would have the ability to support a family in the future while taking care of this sister.
