Journey To the World of Film and Television

Chapter 532 Proud~fragile~~ That's what she looks like.

"Hey, didn't you say that your master will come? We haven't come after waiting for so long, isn't it because we are afraid?"

Riding a carriage to the bank of the Yudai River, Zhou Ji had just helped Si Teng out of the carriage when he heard a familiar voice from the other end of the stone arch bridge.

Hongkui couldn't help but blinked when she heard the voice talking to Chi Yanei over there, and looked sideways at Zhou Ji, seeing that he was also surprised, so she took a step forward, leaped lightly onto the horse's back, and lightly tipped her shoes. Standing on tiptoe, looking towards the other side.

Due to the high slope of the stone arch bridge, there is a promenade and pavilion in the center of the bridge to block the view, and all the speakers are under the bridge. Cuju basket.

Song Yinzhang also got out of the carriage with Yinping's support, seeing Hongkui's 'dangerous' behavior, his heart tightened, and he said weakly: "What happened?"

"It's nothing~ It seems that everyone has arrived, let's go too." Zhou Ji shook his head with a strange expression, glanced at the red sunflower that was falling lightly, and said with a smile.

On the opposite side of the stone bridge, Chi Yanei led a group of followers standing on one side of the basket to confront the two ladies on the other side.

Although she was a little apprehensive when she saw the kitchen knife pinned to Sun Sanniang's waist, she still mustered up her courage, raised her chest and said, "Why is my master afraid? She's an old man."

hiss~

As soon as the word 'old man' came out, a gust of cold wind seemed to freeze the surrounding air, and the dull aura was like a huge stone pressing on the body, making it difficult to even breathe.

The little attendants who had been clustered around Chi Ya Nei retreated in a flash, leaving only Chi Ya Nei with a pale face, and Chi Ya Nei opened his nose and opened his mouth wide, breathing with both mouth and nose.

How is this going?

da da da ~

Calm footsteps came from the head of the bridge, and everyone present looked at the bridge deck in unison. A cluster of white petals swayed with the wind, Si Teng paused, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Ji with his cold and clear eyes.

Zhou Ji was full of doubts, and his confused eyes seemed to ask her why she stopped, but as Si Teng glanced at his palm raised in mid-air without saying a word, Zhou Ji finally understood, smiled embarrassingly, and put his hand away. Tucking half of the petals back into the sleeves, pretending to be nonchalant, avoiding Si Teng's sight, looking at Chi Ya Nei who suddenly became 'ill', and waved his sleeves to dispel the air blockade imposed on him.

Chi Ya Nei only felt his breath lighten, gasped for a few times, his pale face finally had a tinge of blood.

"Mr. Zhou, Miss Si Teng, why are you here? And Miss Solanum nigrum is here too?!"

Sun Sanniang widened her eyes, looked at the people walking on the bridge, and seemed to realize something faintly, "Could it be that the master Chi Yanei mentioned is you?"

"San Niang misunderstood. Miss Si Teng didn't agree to Chi Yanei's apprenticeship. These are all his own words." Zhou Ji glanced at Chi Yanei with a half-smile, and relayed his hot words that day.

"You know each other?"

Chi Yanei pointed to the two sides, feeling bad, turned around and wanted to slip away, but saw Zhao Pan'er took a step forward to apologize to Si Teng, saying that he was depressed that day and definitely did not intend to provoke him. After speaking, he changed the subject and said with a smile : "However. Since Chi Ya Nei finally set up the basket rack, it just happened to catch up with the opportunity, how about a few exchanges?"

"Pan'er." Sun Sanniang took half a step closer and called Zhao Pan'er in a low voice.

Zhao Pan'er raised her beautiful face slightly as if she had never heard of it, and her stubborn eyes showed unyielding persistence.

When Si Teng heard Zhao Pan'er's sincere apology before, he just wanted to say that this matter has nothing to do with her, and there is no need to apologize like this.

After all, at the tea house that day, Si Teng and Zhou Ji witnessed the process of Zhao Pan'er's sad departure in the quiet room, but when they heard the second half of the sentence's initiative to invite a fight, a playful light flashed in their cold and clear eyes.

Zhao Pan'er has an arrogant temperament, which is very similar to Si Teng, but completely different.

When Si Teng saw Zhao Pan'er, she could see that her arrogance was based on a distorted self-esteem.

She was born as an official, but was demoted to a lowly status. The gap in reality made her extremely concerned about her identity. Even though she had already left her status, she still failed to pass the hurdle of being an official prostitute in her heart, so she could only use excessive self-confidence. Cover this scar with pride.

She thought that if she pretended to be confident, she could be really confident.

Little did they know that the stronger she pretended to be, the more it proved that she couldn't let go of the past.

This barrier made of cheap self-esteem, often only needs to be gently pricked by others with the thorn of 'cheap status', and it will be broken.

(The goal of Cuju is to open a hole on the backboard plane).

Outside the goal, Zhao Pan'er tied up her skirt and looked at Si Teng with faint hostility.

She didn't get along with Si Teng much, but every time she saw each other, she would feel an unspeakable shame and unwillingness.

This embarrassment and unwillingness do not come from appearance and figure, but from this distorted self-esteem.

I was able to maintain this self-esteem and self-confidence before because I usually live in a circle centered on myself. I have been out of my country for so many years, and I only have a country woman who was born as a butcher, and a Leying official who is still in a lowly country and cannot escape. prostitute.

When she stepped out of her small circle and met Si Teng, who was equally confident and arrogant, everything was different.

It seems that only by defeating the person in front of her can she maintain her pride, and avoid the sense of fear that the false will collide with the real.

one ball, two balls

The cuju ball is flying up and down, one is beautiful and beautiful like a fairy, and the other is aloof and noble, rich and noble. The two temperaments are very different, and the two beautiful figures are like singing and dancing in the pipa music, which is pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Ji watched the two girls compete in front of him intently, and couldn't help feeling regretful that it would be great if he could carry electronic equipment across time. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would not be possible without setting up eight cameras for him to take pictures from all angles in 4k high-definition as a souvenir. .

After some competition, the results came out quickly.

In terms of skills alone, Zhao Pan'er is far superior to Si Teng. After all, Si Teng has never learned it before, nor has he specially practiced it. However, Si Teng evolved from a scorpion into a demon body. Even if he does not need to use mana, his physical fitness is beyond Zhao Pan'er's comparison.

On one side is Miss Pan'er and on the other side is Miss Si Teng. Song Yinzhang was standing in the middle of the goal with his pipa in his arms. At first he was a bit in a dilemma, but after seeing Si Teng adapting to the rhythm of Sister Pan'er's Cuju, he quickly tied the score, and the score was getting higher and higher. Song Yinzhang smoothed the strings and stopped playing.

"Pan'er, are you okay?" "Sister Pan'er"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er looking at the ball rolling under his feet with some disappointment, Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang rushed forward to comfort him.

"I'm fine." Zhao Pan'er shook his head, took a deep breath, forced a smile, walked up to Si Teng, looked at her with a complicated expression, although he said that he was ashamed and thankful for your enlightenment, but he still felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. Willing to say no.

Zhao Pan'er has already conceded defeat, no matter whether he is convinced or not, this matter is considered closed.

No, the culprit who caused this misunderstanding has not been dealt with, how can this matter be settled?

While Zhao Pan'er and Si Teng were talking, Zhou Ji glanced at Chi Ya Nei, who didn't know the danger was coming, lifted his collar, and stuffed the angry dude into the goal, hanging in the air.

This is the end~

"Ya Nei~"

"Help me! Save me!"

A group of followers were bluffing and chaotic around the ball frame, Zhou Ji clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction.

Ask them where they plan to go later, and whether they want to go to the teahouse to see.

Zhao Pan'er didn't want to go at first, but seeing that Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang were moved, he followed them to the teahouse that was still under renovation.

Sun Sanniang walked in the middle of the teahouse, glanced at the craftsmen who were still tinkling all around, and her eyes fell on the empty hall, as if she had thought of something.

Zhao Pan'er had already adjusted her mentality along the way. Seeing Sun Sanniang was about to speak, Zhao Pan'er had a thought, pulled her sleeve calmly, and shook her head imperceptibly.

Sun Sanniang suppressed the doubts in her heart, and couldn't help asking until she returned to Osmanthus Alley with Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang: "Pan'er, why did you stop me just now?"

"Sanniang opened her mouth because she wanted to cooperate with Ms. Si Teng and provide refreshments for them when the teahouse opens in the future?"

Zhao Pan'er's eyes were bright, and she seemed to have regained her former self-confidence.

Song Yinzhang stared at Sun Sanniang with wide eyes, and Sun Sanniang also showed a surprised expression, "How do you know?"

Zhao Pan'er smiled, and said calmly: "You and I have known each other for so many years, how can we not be able to grasp this thought."

"I can't hide anything from Pan'er~" Sun Sanniang admitted with a nod, pulled Zhao Pan'er to sit down in the gazebo in the courtyard, and said solemnly, "Pan'er, let me think about it~ sit and eat the mountain, it's not a matter that we have been going on like this Chen Lian a few days ago Didn’t you bring some of the famous crispy huangdu in the capital? I tasted a few and found that the taro was too old and not soft when fried, and the torreya powder outside had an astringent taste. The chefs here are not good at Jiangnan fruits at all.”

While talking, Sun Sanniang went into the room and took out a plate of fruit for Zhao Paner to taste.

"No way." Zhao Pan'er knew that these fruits must have been carefully selected by Gu Qianfan and sent by Chen Lian, so she tasted them and said with a frown, "It's not bad, but it's not very delicious either."

"This is what Yuezhoulou, one of the seventy-two main stores in Tokyo, did. I didn't expect such a little skill. It's not as delicious as mine." Sun Sanniang said with some pride.

"So you are going to make some refreshments and fruits and sell them in Miss Si Teng's teahouse?" Zhao Pan'er saw Sun Sanniang's expression of course, smiled and shook her head, "Then have you ever thought about it, since we have settled in the capital, haven't we?" You can also open a teahouse, like Qiantang, where you can make tea and sell fruits yourself."

Sun Sanniang's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "That's a good idea, the three of us will work together, Pan'er is the shopkeeper, I'll be the chef, and the introduction~ I can play tunes to attract customers."

Song Yinzhang's pipa skills Zhao Pan'er is familiar with, to have the number one pipa player in the south of the Yangtze River sitting in the town, guests must be indispensable.

Especially now that she is the instructor of the pipa color of the Jiaofang Division, she only needs one chance to show her skills in front of dignitaries, and she can become famous in one fell swoop and become famous in the capital.

Zhao Pan'er noticed that Song Yinzhang showed hesitation after listening to Sun Sanniang's words, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Sanniang, Yinzhang has a different identity now, and her pipa is for those who know the music and rhythm, and for those traffickers and pawns." , is indeed disrespectful."

Sun Sanniang answered: "I even forgot, you are now the instructor of Pipa Color in Jiaofang, so you have to be more cautious."

"I didn't mean that~"

Song Yinzhang shook his head quickly.

If she used to live in the sky and relied on her identity, she would definitely agree with Zhao Pan'er's words, but now, the words of the noodle shop owner seem to have been deeply engraved in her memory, and they often echo.

In addition to the conversation with Zhang Haohao, Song Yinzhang felt some inexplicable discomfort after hearing Zhao Pan'er's remarks.

What identity does she have if her identity is different?

Song Yinzhang smiled wryly and said: "Don't say that you are a pipa-colored instructor. Even if you become an oiran, you are still a lowly woman? Everyone is a hard-working person struggling to survive in the world. What right do I have to look down on those traffickers and pawns?"

"Introductions, don't underestimate yourself. You see, you are paid by the government. You usually wear gold and silver. You can go in and out freely. If you have the opportunity to perform in front of the princes and nobles, you can even get rewards~~"

Sun Sanniang wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Song Yinzhang, "Sanniang, Sister Pan'er, I know you are kind enough to comfort me, but I really don't care about status."

Song Yinzhang said helplessly, "I'm just worried that I won't have much time to come and help."

"Is Jiaofang Secretary so busy?" Zhao Pan'er asked with concern.

"It's not all about Jiaofang Secretary." Song Yinzhang explained, "Actually, I have promised Mr. Zhou that I will go to him to instruct the musicians of the theater troupe."

Only then did Zhao Pan'er understand why she was hesitant just now, she was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you take the time to come over and play a few tunes once in a while, things are rare and precious, and naturally the number one pipa player in the south of the Yangtze River can't be easily played by others." Others listen~"

"Sister Pan'er is making fun of me again." Song Yinzhang glanced at Zhao Pan'er reproachfully, suddenly remembered something, and gestured with his fingers, "By the way, if you want to open a teahouse, you can discuss it with Mr. Zhou. sites, Jun porcelain tea sets, craftsmen and so on.”

"We are not as rich and powerful as Miss Sito. We can directly buy a restaurant and renovate it from the ground up. Doing business must be steady and steady. If you invest too much in the early stage, you may not be able to pay back in the later stage."

The corners of Zhao Pan'er's mouth turned up, showing a confident and calm smile, "We are in the teahouse business, not the land business. The capital is so big. Sanniang and I will go to the street in a few days to find a cheap, rent-out store fronting the street. Make the layout, while doing enough pre-publicity, it should be able to open earlier than Ms. Si Teng and the others. In this case, Yinzhang can spare time to come to the teahouse to play music, right?"

(About Zhao Paner's character, judging from her various mysterious operations, Wubi feels that her analysis is quite accurate. The logic of all behaviors comes from the inferiority complex of a former official prostitute, so she keeps emphasizing her innocence, so she doesn't care whether she is justified or not. Li is a self-confident and proud look.)

(Proud~fragile~~ that's what she looks like.)
