EBE Chapter 148 Gift
Chapter 148 Gift
"Miss Yingluo, you're joking. My admiration for your young lady is as clear as day and moon. How dare I lie to you? I've just been busy with family affairs lately and haven't had any free time." Xu Feng said with a smile.
He had anticipated that the other party would come to his senses. Not to mention that such a long time had passed, even if he sent someone over the next day, the things would definitely not be taken back.
"Okay, High Priest, don't treat my young lady as a fool. You know clearly whether I am deceiving you or not. I am here only to tell you one thing. The young lady is very angry about your behavior. However, her birthday is in half a month. If the High Priest can give her a gift that satisfies her, then this matter will be let go. If not..." The maid Yingluo did not continue.
"What if I can't?" Xu Feng still maintained a gentle expression, but there was a hint of disdain in his heart. The status of the pillar of Piaoxiang Pavilion could only ensure that no one dared to bully her, but it did not mean that she, a weak woman, could do anything to him, a mid-level third-grade master.
“If not, the young lady will certainly be unhappy because of the previous deception. When the young masters of the noble families see that the young lady is unhappy, they will naturally be concerned and ask the reason. By then, what you have done, the great priest, will probably be known to everyone.
Of course, the Great Priest is powerful and may not be afraid of them, but these young masters of noble families are young and hot-blooded, and they may not let it go when they see the young lady being bullied. They may not be able to do anything to you, but in order to vent the young lady's anger, they may unite to do something to the Wan family behind you. "Yingluo said slowly.
Xu Feng's face froze. He really didn't expect this to happen.
These young masters from aristocratic families may not have a high status in the family, but if a dozen or even dozens of families join forces, they cannot be underestimated.
Especially because of jealousy and anger, and eager to show off in front of Miss Yashuang, he is likely to do extreme things. The Wan family has just been freed from the suppression of the Lin family and cannot withstand any more trouble.
"Miss Yingluo, you are joking. I am just asking casually. Please don't take it seriously. In fact, I have already remembered your young lady's birthday and have carefully selected the gifts. I am almost ready.
Even if you don't make this trip, I will personally deliver the gift to your door on your birthday." Xu Feng didn't want the Wan family to be implicated by him again, so he could only agree and said it without changing his expression.
Ying Luo rolled her eyes at him secretly, with an expression that said, "I don't believe you at all," and then said calmly, "Really? I will convey every word of the High Priest to Miss. I believe Miss will have great expectations for the High Priest's gift. High Priest, please don't let Miss down!"
"sure."
"Okay, I'll take my leave now."
"Are you leaving so soon? Come in and have a cup of tea and rest for a while before you go." Xu Feng politely tried to keep him.
Miss Yingluo was very upset. After the maid informed her, Xu Feng had been standing at the gate of the courtyard talking to her. Now that he had finished talking, he was still making a hypocritical invitation. Bah, hypocrisy.
……
Xu Feng returned to his room and immediately felt a headache. She actually took the initiative to ask for a gift. It seemed that Miss Ya Shuang was not willing to suffer a loss easily.
Giving gifts is not enough, you have to make her satisfied? Even if she is satisfied in her heart, she can still say that she is not satisfied.
Xu Feng pondered over it, and realized that most people in the world wanted nothing more than fame and fortune. Fame, she was already one of the five pillars of Piaoxiang Pavilion, so she had no shortage of it. Profit, the young masters of aristocratic families were willing to spend a fortune on her, so she had no shortage of it either.
What else is there to pursue?
Hmm? No. Xu Feng suddenly remembered Wang Fei's comments on Miss Ya Shuang when he first went to Piaoxiang Pavilion. He said that she had a strange temper and was difficult to get along with. Indeed, although she was the most beautiful among all the beauties, this also made her feel proud. Among the five pillars of Piaoxiang Pavilion, she was not the most popular one.
In other words, her name is not yet famous enough. There are at least four other pillars who can compete with her.
What should a woman who works in a brothel do if she wants to become famous?
Xu Feng suddenly thought of the poet Liu Yong. He was a close friend of many famous prostitutes in ancient brothels, and his poems were highly sought after and sung widely.
But he couldn't write a good poem for Miss Ya Shuang, because this was not popular in this world. Lyrics? Music? Good dancing?
Suddenly, Xu Feng seemed to remember something, picked up his pen and started writing, and a poem "Hard to Reject" appeared on the paper.
The curtain opens and the curtain falls
Lower your eyebrows and gently brush your water sleeves
The audience is crowded with spectators
Just to see the beautiful lady.
Trace the eyebrows carefully
The forehead is dotted with cinnabar red
The waist is as thin as a willow supporting the wind
A few glances back to dance away the dreams of fools
Wait for the show to begin with heavy makeup
On stage, I sing all the sorrows and joys alone
As graceful as floating clouds and colorful clothes
The curtain ends and the temples are stained with frost
The painting is as light as yarn
Complaining about heartbreak in the spotlight on stage
It is difficult to bear the fragrance of decades
……
Well, it's very appropriate, the words are beautiful and gorgeous, and most importantly, it contains the tune of opera, so it doesn't seem too out of line. With some gimmicks, it will definitely make Miss Ya Shuang famous, surpassing the other four pillars.
By then, even if she wants to cheat and say she is not satisfied, I am afraid she won’t be able to do that.
The mainstay of Piaoxiang Pavilion is replaced every twenty years or so, but if this song can continue to be sung, Miss Ya Shuang can be said to have left her name in the history of her industry.
Xu Feng nodded in satisfaction, then put it in an envelope, planning to have the maid deliver it to Miss Ya Shuang the next day. The reason why he didn't deliver it immediately was because the ink was not dry yet, and it was easy to see that it was written not long ago, while Xu Feng boasted to Miss Ying Luo that he had carefully prepared it for a long time.
Then he called two maids and asked them to invite all the performers who made a living by singing in taverns and teahouses in the county town.
He wanted to teach these people this song in person, pay them to sing it in crowded streets and alleys, and spread the word quietly that this song was related to a pillar of Piaoxiang Pavilion.
With the charm of this song itself and the gimmick of being the mainstay of Piaoxiang Pavilion, Xu Feng believed that it would definitely become popular throughout the county town.
……
Things developed just as he had imagined. When he taught these street performers and with the help of money, these street performers almost gave up all the other songs they sang on weekdays and sang with extra effort in the busy places of the county town, attracting many people to look at them and stop to appreciate them.
The song itself is pleasant enough to listen to, and with the hidden gimmick, it immediately caused a lot of discussion among people, with people speculating on who created the song and which pillar of Piaoxiang Pavilion it was referring to.
After just a few days of fermentation, the song was finally sung in Piaoxiang Pavilion and became known to everyone.
Piaoxiang Pavilion, inside Miss Yashuang’s boudoir.
The beautiful woman looked at the letter that Xu Feng had sent a few days ago with a calm and indifferent expression, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Yingluo and Liuli, two personal maids, stood by and looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy. They had never expected that the chief priest of the Wan family would cause such a big commotion in such a short time, and even involve their young lady. It was really unexpected.
