Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 37 Gu Shabian (2)

The second one went to Sha's house.

Sha Cai has an excellent figure, tall and graceful.

With slender fingers, Yang Chao felt that they were a pair of natural piano players. Just because of these hands, Yang Chao had the urge to build a piano.

Sha Cai was wearing a Liuxian dress with Shihua wide sleeves, which couldn't conceal her charm at all, and would only make the clothes a little redundant. She herself was the treasure.

Yang Chao had to admit that although Li Xiangjun and Gu Mei were first-class beauties, Sha Cai's figure was the best.

Shacai heard Yang Chao's intention to come, and didn't care about Yang Chao's falsely using the names of Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun. He only heard that Qian Qianyi would go, so he immediately agreed to go.

It was so easy, but it made Yang Chao a little bored.

The famous courtesans in Nanjing were led by Li Bian, followed by Sha Gu. Li Xiangjun had already agreed to go, and Gu Mei and Sha Cai also agreed to go. Only Bian Yujing, whose real name was Bian Sai, was left.

When I arrived at Bian's house, I handed over the invitation card, but soon four turtles rushed out of the door.

These few tortoises are all powerful, they are not ordinary tortoises, but thugs in brothels.

The four of them captured Yang Chao and Hu Quan in a threatening manner, and walked towards Bian's house under arrest.

Hu Quan yelled in fright, Yang Chao also struggled twice, but he couldn't fight at all, Mr. Gui didn't speak, just walked forward.

Three of the four famous prostitutes were hired by themselves, but they didn't expect the last one to encounter such trouble.

Bian's house is not a river house like Meixianglou, but an ordinary mansion in the depths of an old courtyard, with three entrances and two courtyards.

Yang Chao and Hu Quan were escorted into the last courtyard, and soon they entered a room full of fragrance.

"Say, why do you want to use the name of the incense fan pendant?"

A voice of scolding and questioning sounded.

Only then was Yang Chao allowed to raise his head.

Not one, but two beauties caught the eye.

Yang Chao didn't know any of them, but he could probably guess that these were the Bian Sai sisters, the older sister was called Bian Sai, and the younger sister was called Bian Min.

The two were born in an official family. Because their father died early, the two sisters had no food and clothing, so they became singers to make a living.

Speaking of which, they are different from others. They are neither Li Xiangjun who was sold into a brothel, nor Bisha, who was implicated because her family was convicted and punished as official prostitutes. Their sisters ran it entirely by themselves, which is equivalent to Come out to perform for a living.

But Yang Chao didn't know why Bian Sai would arrest him: "Miss Bian misunderstood."

Yang Chao felt that he was a bit self-conscious and shouldn't pretend to be Li Xiangjun, because he had already found out that the sisters Bian Sai and Li Xiangjun were good friends, and they also knew Liu Rushi, so he wrote an invitation in the name of those two It was discovered because it was not Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi's handwriting at all.

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, you dare to impersonate Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun's names, what are your plans?"

Bian Sai scolded angrily.

Suddenly there was a snort, and Bian Min beside him couldn't help laughing.

Yang Chao was even more depressed when he saw it, what the hell is going on.

Bian Sai also smiled sullenly, then waved his hands, and let go of Yang Chao and Hu Quan.

Feeling relaxed, Yang Chao knew that he had been exposed, so he hurriedly bowed: "Girl, I know I was wrong."

Bian Sai snorted, "You are Mr. Yang, right?"

Yang Chao said, "It's right here."

Bian Sai said angrily: "Sister Liu and Sister Xiang have already sent letters. They have already invited me, and of course they also talked about your affairs. I didn't expect you to pretend to be their names, so I guessed it right away."

Only then did Yang Chao suddenly realize that he didn't realize that he was a fake, but that he recognized himself and cleaned up on purpose.

Yang Chao couldn't help but wryly smiled, he was really in a cocoon.

Bian Saidao: "I've already promised to go. I didn't expect you to dare to cheat. If you don't write a poem like 'I will not fail you, I will not let you go!"

Yang Chao smiled wryly and begged for forgiveness: "Since the girl is familiar with the two girls, Liu and Li, then of course I have heard that villains are not good at poetry."

Bian Sai was taken aback: "Can't compose poetry? That's weird. Sister Liu wrote a letter praising your poetic talent. But your song 'Worth the Tathagata and the Lord' is really nothing. Poems that rhyme."

Yang Chao said: "Miss, forgive me."

Bian Min said at this time: "Then what are you good at? Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you don't know how to write poems or lyrics, you know how to play the piano, right?"

After speaking, he covered his mouth and chuckled.

Bian Min is slightly more plump than her sister, and her figure is not tall, but her facial features are extremely delicate, her skin is like fat, especially her accent, which has a sweet and greasy taste when she speaks. No wonder she is able to sing and sing with her sister to make a living. singer's voice.

Yang Chao knew that he seemed unable to escape this hurdle, so he looked up and looked around. There were several paintings on the wall, all of which were orchids in different shapes. True.

Yang Chao's heart suddenly moved: "But he is not proficient in poetry and songs. But the villain has a skill to offer."

As Yang Chao said, he looked around.

"What are you looking for?"

Bian Min asked.

Yang Chao asked doubtfully, "Is this the boudoir of the two girls?"

Bian Sai said in a low voice: "Hmph, that's a good idea! How can I let you in easily in my girl's boudoir, this is the flower hall!"

Yang Chao didn't look for it anymore, just now he saw that it was very delicate, so he thought it was a boudoir or something.

Then he said: "I want to find an eyebrow pencil. I wonder if the two girls can give it to me."

Although the tone is asking, it is actually asking.

Bian Min snorted, "Wait."

After speaking, he walked out, walked to the side, and came back shortly after, holding an eyebrow pencil in his hand.

The women's thrush in the Ming Dynasty used a kind of pigment called Dai, so it is also called Meidai.But it is often equipped with eyebrow pencils, just like the later generations, it is not uncommon for a fastidious woman to have extremely detailed makeup, and it is not uncommon to have more than a dozen types.

This eyebrow pencil is extremely delicate, a uniform wicker carbon rod, and a silver tube is wrapped around it.

Yang Chao took it. There was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table next to him. He went directly to pick up a piece of paper.

Carefully spread it on the stool, approached the sisters of the Bian family, and then brushed and started to swipe.

The eyebrow pencil left a series of ink lines on the drawing paper, which are sometimes hard, sometimes weak, sometimes open and close, and sometimes traced carefully. After a long time, the painting is finally completed.

"Giving two girls an ink painting is not a respect!"

As Yang Chao said, he picked up the drawing paper, and there were already two lonely women on it.

There are only two women, no scenery, only women and their simple clothes and decorations.

The two took it and slowly appreciated it.

Although this painting does not have any artistic conception, it feels unique, and it is different from the pictures of ladies they usually see and make, not only because they use brushes to paint, but Yang Chao uses eyebrow pencils to paint.

It's because the ink in this painting is almost all in the details, especially the face and expression. Both of them are smiling slightly, but one is full of sadness, while the other seems to be full of joy.

Moreover, the shades of the shadows on the face are different from the usual painting method, which surprised the two sisters.

Then the two commented in detail: "Sister, look at this painting, it seems rough, but the details have special skills."

Bian Sai nodded, and suddenly let out a gasp: "It's really a subtlety with ulterior motives. Look at this!"

Bian Sai pointed at the top of his head in the scroll, and his younger sister couldn't help smiling when she saw it: "This is Chunlan!"

Bian Sai nodded, then pointed to the other side: "Hui Lan!"

Bian Min also said: "The ones on my head are Jianlan and Hanlan!"

Yang Chao smiled at the side, how can he tell what kind of orchid, it is said that distinguishing orchids requires a high level of professionalism, he is completely tricky, directly intercepted from the four orchid pictures on the wall, and traced them, as two girls Head accessories.

It seemed that they noticed that Yang Chao was smiling, and suddenly the sisters Bian Sai looked at each other, and the younger sister spoke coldly.

"Just this painting? It's so simple, I want to send us away. You know, our sisters are all helping you this time."

They had already agreed to Liu Rushi, but insisted that they were helping Yang Chao.

Yang Chao was also helpless, in fact it was true, but what they sold was Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun's favor, and now they let themselves pay it back first.

Yang Chao sighed: "It's true that I don't know poetry, but I know a little bit about painting. If the two girls are willing, how about painting a colored painting for the two girls when I have all the paint?"

Bian Sai asked doubtfully, "Color painting? But painting of beautiful women?"

Painting of beautiful women is a big branch of traditional Chinese painting, which is mainly used to paint women, and of course the techniques can also be used elsewhere.

Yang Chao smiled and said, "Of course not. It's a kind of painting from the West. It's called oil painting, and it's painted with oil paint."

Bian Sai nodded and said, "Could it be the kind of painting painted by those monks Franz. I saw it once in Suzhou."

Because the Bian Sai sisters do not belong to brothels, they are sister shops run by themselves, so they can leave whenever they want. Bian Sai often haunts Suzhou and Nanjing, and sometimes lives in Suzhou for a long time, so she not only lives in Nanjing It is very famous, and it is also famous in Suzhou.

When Yang Chao heard that Bian Sai had seen oil paintings, he thought that Monk Franji was probably a missionary from the West, and he couldn't help but be amazed at how well-informed the two sisters were.

Immediately nodded: "Miss Bian really has a wide range of knowledge, I admire you!"

Yang Chao was really impressed.

But Bian Sai took it as a tease: "You are talking about you. You can draw this barbarian painting, but you are saying that I am well-informed and hypocritical!"

Yang Chao said: "Where is the hypocrisy, I am out of my mind."

The two sisters laughed suddenly: "Let's go!"

At this time, the two sisters did not stay with Yang Chao anymore, so Yang Chao was able to escape from Bian's house.

Hu Quan had a great time this time. Although he was escorted in, he saw two famous prostitutes all at once, and they were close at hand. He kept praising him along the way, and at the same time kept asking Yang Chao if he was there. Smell the scent of the Bian sisters.

But Yang Chao's mind was not there. These famous prostitutes were indeed not the ones with a reputation, they were all the best in the world.

But Yang Chao thought that it was already another task, and all the famous prostitutes had been invited, so the matter was half completed.

The next step is to wait for news from Kang Hui and Wang Xiao.
