Chapter 345 I'm very optimistic about you
Yu Youwei stood up in the eyes of everyone. The talented men who knew her identity naturally respected her very much. After all, she was the junior sister of the governor of the state. In addition, Yu Youwei had seen her at the dinner before, regardless of her appearance or conversation.
The courtesans who were not familiar with Yu Youwei felt that this woman who was a bit too beautiful and was more beautiful than the courtesans seemed to look at them with a strange look, and seemed to know them very well. Now when they saw Yu Youwei suddenly stood up, they focused their eyes on her, not knowing what she was going to do.
Because Yu Youwei is tall, when she stands up, she is half a head taller than Fu Wan'er. Before, Fu Wan'er stood up, so she stood up in front of Cao Yi, just in front of Cao Yi. When Yu Youwei stands up, she can look down at Fu Wan'er.
"Is Miss Fu Wan'er?" Yu Youwei's cold voice came from her mouth.
Fu Wan'er raised her head slightly and looked at Yu Youwei who was standing up. She seemed to be a little unresponsive, "Huh?" made a puzzled voice.
"Have you ever been to the streets and alleys?"
"This...of course I've been there. I wonder what the fish girl asked me about?"
"Then you have seen street performers?"
Fu Wan'er glanced at Yu Youwei and nodded.
"Since you have seen it, I'll ask you, if you are recognized when you walk on the street, suddenly there is a musician in the art salesman who says that his pipa is playing very well, and he must compete with you when he pulls you. Will you compete?" Yu Youwei suddenly increased her voice and asked.
Fu Wan'er already understood Yu Youwei's meaning at this time. Although she would definitely not agree to that scene, in order to fulfill her behavior just now, she could only stubbornly say: "Since others want to compete with me, I will naturally agree to them..."
"Haha..." Yu Youwei's eyes began to change when she looked at Fu Wan'er. If she was originally calm and a little sympathetic, she was now full of contempt, "Is that right? If that musician who is selling arts loses, she will still compete with you?"
This time, Yu Youwei didn't give Fu Wan'er a chance to answer, and continued to speak, "Then there was another person next to you who suddenly stood up and criticized you, saying that as a courtesan, you should accept the challenge of other musicians. If you don't accept the challenge, you can do it. As long as you admit in public that your singing and dancing are not as good as others, otherwise you will be a person who seeks fame! Miss Fu Wan'er, tell me, would you agree to the competition at that time? Do you greet the other party with a smile or choose to ignore it!"
Yu Youwei asked Fu Wan'er several questions in a row. If it were really time to go to that time, as Fu Wan'er's status, she would naturally not be able to continue to do so.
The third person promised others, and it is likely that he would refuse. After all, he is the only courtesan in Yangzhou. Even if he performs, he should be at the Zangxiang Pavilion or the gathering of talented men and beautiful women. Although his performance is indeed for people to see, this object... Of course, they are those powerful celebrities, talented literati...
However, Fu Wan'er was like an arrow that had been fired at this time, and there was still a possibility of turning back. At this time, she could only say stubbornly: "Since others have raised a challenge, it is related to my reputation as a courtesan, I will naturally face the challenge and agree to the competition. Moreover, I have confidence in my talents, so why are you afraid of other people's challenges?"
After Fu Wan'er finished speaking, she looked at Cao Yi. The meaning was nothing more than that if you, Cao Yi, were really talented, you just agreed. Why should you push back? You kept ruling, isn't it just that you don't have real talent and knowledge, and you are afraid of being compared or exposed by others?
Cao Yi looked at Fu Wan'er's face now. Although she was still delicate, her facial features were no longer attraction in his eyes. She felt that she was not even as pleasing to the eye as the old prostitute Li Yanhong from Jinfenglou. At least others were more sincere and greedy, and they were completely written on her face. As expected, no matter how beautiful the skin looks, it still needed a beautiful heart and a cute soul...
Cao Yi suddenly shivered, he was... praising Li Yanhong for her beautiful heart and cute soul? Oh, by the way, suddenly remembered that Li Yanhong's skin was not good-looking, but fortunately her aesthetic has not changed, Cao Yi let out a long sigh.
"Haha!" Yu Youwei sneered again and said to Fu Wan'er: "Since Miss Fu Wan'er, you are so sincere!" Yu Youwei deliberately augmented his voice with the word sincerity. Although Fu Wan'er's eyes flashed for a moment, she was still waiting for Yu Youwei to continue talking.
"Then I will also give you a competition! It is said that you are called Yangzhou Six Arts, and your pipa skills are very strong. If that's the case, I will compete with you for playing and singing pipa, right? How about it? If you win, it proves that the praises of the six courtesans in Yangzhou and the six arts in Yangzhou Six Arts are real. If you lose to me, then you just need to admit in public that your pipa playing ability is not as good as mine... Well, how about a second-class maid from Cao's Mansion?" Yu Youwei looked at Fu Wan'er and said with a sneer.
Cao Yi couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This was like his third-class companion to read the book. This was. Sure enough, he saw Yu Youwei turn her head and smile gently at him.
After Yu Youwei finished speaking the challenge, everyone present was talking. It was almost said that there was only Min Yue. Cao Yi and Jin'er were confident in Yu Youwei. Needless to say, Cao Yi and Jin'er were very skilled in Yu Youwei's musical instruments. In addition, when he was in Jiangning, he received Yaniang's personal teaching. His pipa skills have improved by leaps and bounds and have reached the level of perfection.
When Ya Niang was young, she was also a popular courtesan in Bianjing. Her pipa gave her the nickname "Jade Pearl", which marked the "big beads and small beads in Bai Lotte's "Pipa Xing"
The sentence "Falling Jade Plate" is also more titled "Five-stringed Famous Hand". Ya Niang plucks the strings with her right hand and is strong and powerful, and is called "pulling like wind and rain". She presses the strings with her left hand subtle, and praises her for being "good at twisting", so she has the reputation of "first-handed pipa in Bianjing".
Such a powerful person's teachings, coupled with Yu Youwei's own talent and hard work, Cao Yi, Yu Youwei and Jin'er are naturally full of confidence. Minyue also heard Yu Youwei's playing on the boat to Yangzhou. Although she played the piano most of the time, Miss Jin'er played the pipa. What's more, even Miss Jin'er taught her, her pipa level is only slightly inferior to Fu Wan'er, but it is not much worse, it's just the heat.
Yu Youwei occasionally guides Jin'er to play. When she occasionally demonstrates, Minyue can identify that Yu Youwei's pipa level has been very successful and can be called a master. So when she saw Yu Youwei dare to compete with Fu Wan'er, she chose Fu Wan'er's best pipa and sing, she was not worried at all, and even felt that Fu Wan'er would lose a crushing defeat this time.
However, except for these three people, the others did not have that confidence in Yu Youwei. Even Lu Xiaofeng, Wang Honghua and Gong Qizheng, who were standing on Cao Yi and Yu Youwei's side, were not very confident about Yu Youwei. Because when they met before, Yu Youwei had never shown that she had such talent, so they were still worried.
Fu Wan'er looked at Yu Youwei calmly, with a look of confusion on her face. When she introduced her, she said she was Cao Yi's junior sister, but why did she become a second-class maid in the Cao family now... But seeing that she called Cao Yi "Young Master" so casually and naturally, it was obvious that she didn't call her that intentionally now.
"What's wrong? I've always been someone who I'll accept when others challenge you." Fu Wan'er put aside her inner doubts, smiled, and said naturally. But she changed her mind and continued, "Since you have accepted it like me, I have accepted it, then why don't you accept Mr. Chu's competition?"
Now everyone's eyes are focused on Cao Yi, waiting for him to make a decision. Chu Mingxuan also said, "Cao Yi, do you dare to compete with me?"
Cao Yi looked at Chu Mingxuan and Fu Wan'er who were staring at him, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on his face, and he was about to speak.
"Slow down..." Yu Youwei stopped him and smiled gently at him. She already knew Cao Yi's plan, so she wanted to make good use of it.
"Miss Fu, it's better to do this. In my competition with you, we will add a lottery. Whoever wins the competition will let the other party do something within their ability. Of course, it cannot be too difficult. As long as you agree, I will let my young master compete with your young master Chu to write lyrics. What do you think?" Yu Youwei smiled for the first time after standing up, with a hint of bewitching.
