Painting Doctor Jinhua

"who is it?"

As the voice came, all the scholars in the Ascott turned around angrily, and saw a young girl in a white double-breasted dress with wide sleeves and long hem walking slowly towards her. She didn't even have a single ornament on her jet-black hair, but her whole person was like a beautiful red plum blossom amidst the ice and snow, which made people's eyes bright and shocked.

But this shocking feeling did not come from her appearance, but from a kind of innate demeanor that could not be ignored.

"Prince, why does this miracle doctor look different from last time?" The guard took a quick look and was also stunned for a moment, then asked.

The man in black clothes did not say anything, but just signaled the guard to be quiet and continue watching!

"Ayu, you're here!" When Xiao Yun saw that it was Xiao Jinyu, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face, walked towards her, and introduced her to the other gentlemen in the hall, "Come here, this is my niece Xiao Jinyu who came back from the north!"

"So it's her!"

"It doesn't seem like her! She's not as stunningly handsome as her father. However, she is also unique and unforgettable. She is a beauty!" Lu Silang Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

"And her figure is so graceful, it's obvious that she is a wonderful person!" Zhu Silang whispered in the ear of another scholar.

"Yes, even if her appearance is not as handsome as her father's, her figure shows that she is charming and attractive!" the scholar also whispered.

At this moment, Xiao Jinyu still disguised herself as her mother. She was calm inside, but being looked at from top to bottom by so many sticky eyes, she couldn't help but feel disgusted. But at this moment, Xiao Yun approached her and reached out to grab her wrist.

Xiao Jinyu immediately pulled her hand away, took a step back, and said, "Uncle Yun, don't touch me, Ah Yu will be very scared!"

Her voice was almost coquettish when she said this, which made people angry but unable to vent. All of a sudden, the hall was quiet, and then "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" more eyes looked over here!

Unexpectedly, the sister-in-law spoke so directly that several young men from noble families couldn't help laughing out loud. Even the guard who was watching quietly from the attic couldn't help but cover his mouth for fear of laughing.

Xiao Yun's face suddenly turned red, and he had to withdraw his hand in embarrassment. He then gestured to Xiao Jinyu to sit on the futon in the middle of the hall.

"Young lady, what did you just say?" Lu Sheng couldn't help but ask jokingly.

Xiao Jinyu said, "Ah Yu wants to say that this music is enjoyed by elegant people. You guys are criticizing others just now. Don't you think it is a disgrace to the culture?"

"You——" Mr. Kong said unhappily.

Lu Sheng quickly reached out to stop them, and said with a smile: "Yes, young lady, you are right. We just talked nonsense about Lanling King. I know my mistakes and can correct them. If he were here, I would definitely apologize to him! But, young lady, since you are here, shouldn't you also have a drink with us?"

After saying that, he gestured to Xiao Yun, who seemed to have just recovered from his previous shame and anger. He hurriedly called the maid to bring over the wine glass, filled it with bright red wine, and said with a smile: "I asked Ah Yu to come here today to apologize to Ah Yu on behalf of my mother. This glass of wine is an apology wine. I'll drink it first!"

After saying this, he really drank the wine in the wine cup, and then ordered the maid to pour another cup and handed it to Xiao Jinyu. Seeing that Xiao Jinyu hesitated to take it, he asked again, "Why? Ah Yu, don't you believe in my sincerity?"

"That's not the case. I'm just not used to using other people's things!"

As Xiao Jinyu spoke, she stopped looking at Xiao Yun and took out something from her sleeve, holding it between her index and thumb and handed it to Xiao Yun.

I saw that the top of the object was shaped like a lotus, but the bottom was a thin and long transparent glass. It looked like a cup with "legs", but also like a lotus flower blooming in a lotus pond.

"What is this?" the scholars all asked curiously.

"A wine glass!" Xiao Jinyu answered without disguising, "However, Ah Yu is not very good at drinking, so I'm afraid she can't drink much. So I'll use this wine glass as a measure. If it's more, I won't drink it, but if it's less, I won't refuse it. What do you think?"

"Why not? It's an honor for us that you are willing to give us this favor, don't you think?" Lu Sheng laughed again and said, "Young lady, please drink!"

His gaze once again turned to Xiao Yun meaningfully. Xiao Yun also smiled, then took the wine jug himself and poured the bright red wine into Xiao Jinyu's glass.

"Please--" he looked at her.

Xiao Jinyu slowly brought the wine glass to her lips. At this moment, even the guard in the attic became nervous and couldn't help but whisper to the man in black clothes, "Could there be drugs in this wine?"

There was no medicine in the wine, it was just the wine that was produced in abundance in the Western Regions. Xiao Jinyu came to this conclusion the moment she smelled the wine.

"But Uncle Yun asked me to come here today, just to have Ah Yu drink with you gentlemen, right?"

The words "accompanying drinking" don't sound very nice. Is he using her as a prostitute to please his bunch of friends?

Xiao Yun repeatedly denied and waved his hands, saying, "No, Ah Yu has traveled thousands of miles from the north to return to our Southern Chen. I'm afraid she is not familiar with the beautiful scenery of Jiankang in the south. You just said that Qushui Liushang is a hobby for elegant people. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'The two Wang and Xie families in Kuaiji were both romantic, the prince was in decline and Xie was sad'? Although Wang and Xie are no longer in power, the romantic style of the aristocratic families still exists. So today, Yun invited Ah Yu to come here, in fact, he wanted Ah Yu to experience what the romantic style of the aristocratic families is."

When Xiao Jinyu heard the words "Wang and Xie of Kuaiji were both romantic, the prince was in decline and Xie was sad" and "Wang and Xie were no longer in decline", she felt as if her heart was cut by a knife.

At this time, Xiao Yun even leaned close to her ear and said, "Also, Ah Yu, stop calling me uncle all the time. Look, I'm not much older than you. Aren't you making me old by calling me that?"

After brushing her sleeves and taking a step forward, Xiao Jinyu asked rather teasingly, "Then what should I call you? Xiao Lang?"

"It's not impossible to call me Xiao Lang!"

"That's right, why call him uncle? Just call him Xiao Lang. We are all in our prime years, don't you think?" Lu Sheng shouted again, and a group of scholars immediately followed suit!

"Come on! Ah Yu, let's play this game of wine cups following the waves!"

Xiao Yun's interest suddenly became high, as if he had completely forgotten the embarrassment just now. To be honest, he had tried many times, let alone playing with this girl in the palm of his hand. Until now, he had not even touched a single hair of hers.

However, he was not in a hurry. Since she came today, there was absolutely no way she could leave here safely!

"Can you write poetry?" Xiao Yun asked again after finding a soft couch to sit on.

"What kind of poem?"

As if he had not expected her to ask this, Xiao Yun was startled for a moment, then he sat up straight and raised his hand to signal the scholars sitting around the pond.

"Come on, sing a few songs for Miss A-Yu to stimulate some discussion!" he shouted.

"Okay! Then I'll go first! I'm lying on the pillow by the north window, the sun is still setting on the south eaves. I climb the hook to lower the silk screen, and play the pipa. My pretty face smiles in my dream, and my hair is covered with fallen flowers when I sleep. The mat has lines on my wrist, and my sweat soaks the red gauze."

Lu Sheng started the conversation, and the other scholars followed suit:

"I don't need to be persuaded to untie my silk, I need to be held on the pillow, and I am afraid that others will see me, so I shyly lie down in front of the candle."

"She relies on love to make progress, but she is too shy to move forward. Her red lips sing erotic songs, and her jade fingers play the strings."

"I haven't combed my hair all night, and it's hanging down on my shoulders. Lying on my lover's lap, how can I not feel pity for him?"

For a moment, the whole hall was filled with decadent atmosphere and loud laughter. How could Xiao Jinyu not know that these poems were just describing the shyness and sadness of the singing girls purely in an appreciative manner. The style of the poems was decadent and gorgeous. The earliest one was represented by the palace style poems of Emperor Jianwen Xiao Gang, which mostly wrote about the eating, dressing, sleeping, traveling and private affairs of palace women. Over time, it developed into the decadent music of the country's demise.

The Jiangzuo chapter system is obsessed with the mysterious style, sneers at the ambition of gorgeous affairs, and advocates the talk of forgetting about the machine. This is the evaluation made by Liu Yanhe, a famous scholar in the Southern Liang Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that when Hou Jing rebelled in Liang, the thousand-year-old aristocratic family was destroyed in an instant!

It is true that their fighting spirit to kill enemies and dominate the battlefield has been worn away! No wonder these weak and powerless soldiers are called two-legged sheep! Hou Jing only used 8,000 soldiers to flatten the entire Southern Liang!

But what Xiao Jinyu had not expected was that twenty years later, these children of southern noble families still admired this extravagant and gorgeous lifestyle, indulged in poetry, wine and entertainment, and had no desire to make progress.

"How are they? How are the poems?"

Just as Xiao Jinyu was deep in thought and even clenching her fists in annoyance, Xiao Yun suddenly came over and asked.

Xiao Jinyu's mind was slightly tense, she let go of her hand, and said with a smile: "Ayu really doesn't understand men's minds. I'm afraid even Zuo Si can't come up with such beautiful words! Please forgive Ayu for being stupid and not good at this kind of poetry!"

As soon as she said this, all the scholars showed disappointment on their faces, and Lu Sheng even thought to himself: He is just a vulgar person with nothing but good looks!

Just as I was about to change my mind, I heard her say, "However, although Ah Yu is not good at poetry, she is good at painting. If you don't mind, Ah Yu can present a painting dance for you!"

Painted dance? What is painted dance? Could it be a striptease created by some famous prostitute in a brothel?

Lu Sheng smiled in his heart and said, "Great! What kind of painting can the young lady do?" He immediately urged Xiao Yun, "Hurry up and ask someone to get paper, ink, brush and inkstone for this young lady!"

"Yes!" The maid bowed her head and retreated.

"Wait!" Xiao Jinyu suddenly stopped the maid and added, "I want seven feet of paper, and two three-foot Zhang Zhi pens. In addition, I want ten boxes of rouge and ten peach blossoms!"

The maid looked up in surprise, but saw Xiao Yun looking at her meaningfully and said, "Go get it! Give it to her!"

Everyone was puzzled, and Lu Sheng even asked jokingly: "Young lady, what do you want these for? Are you going to give us a surprise and draw a different picture?"

At this time, Xiao Jinyu had already stood up. She stood slowly, her eyes met Lu Sheng's, and then glanced at the sons of the noble families. She said with her cherry lips slightly parted, "Yes, today Ah Yu will draw a picture of Chun Palace for you gentlemen, how do you think?"
