Song of Wood
Chapter 4
"Let me ask you, where is Flowering Hour?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Lianhua's first question was able to stun Chen Shichang.
Flowering Hour?
Who is this person?
Why didn't she appear in the original work?
Chen Shichang had a bad habit. When people she didn't know well asked her questions, and she couldn't answer the questions, she would usually maintain an awkward and polite smile and remain silent.
Wang Lianhua waited with his hands behind his back for a while, but he didn't hear what the singer behind him said.
He turned around impatiently and saw Chen Shichang with her head down as if she was thinking about life.
Wang Lianhua: "…" What should I do if I'm ignored? I'm waiting online, urgent!
While Master Chen's mind was wandering, a folding fan suddenly knocked on the top of his head with a 'dong' sound.
It hurts!
Chen Shichang finally came back to her senses.
The other party squinted and smiled at her: "Miss, do you know who Flowering Hour is?"
Chen Shichang shook her head. In this fictional world, she only knew the characters written by Gu Daxia.
Thinking back to when Prince Wang was in his prime, there were many women around him, but not many scenes.
Even if one or two of them did appear, Hero Gu would only brush them off with a single stroke.
Think about it, no matter how good a novel was, it might not necessarily remember all the characters in it, including the extras and the cannon fodder who couldn't live past one episode.
No, now that Chen Shichang had also transmigrated into the world written by Gu Daxia, she really didn't have any scenes at all.
When did the original work write that there was a singer named Mu Ji in Huinan Pavilion?
Huinan Pavilion didn't even appear.
Speaking of which, it really made people think of a flop.
Wang Lianhua naturally didn't know Chen Shichang's series of inner thoughts.
Therefore, in Wang Lianhua's eyes, Chen Shichang's expression could be described as "very confused" and "extremely confused".
This made Wang Lianhua, who was ignored, a little angry.
"Good girl, quickly tell me, who taught you how to play the pipa?" Chen Shichang found that his chin was gently lifted by Prince Wang.
The other party was all smiles. He was originally a handsome man who was affectionate towards women. He was very eye-catching. In modern times, he would be a celebrity.
She had both looks and talent. She was proficient in all of her poems and songs. She was also highly skilled in martial arts. She was also filthy rich. She was guaranteed to be famous all over the country.
Wang Lianhua half-forced Chen Shichang to look into his eyes. "Good girl, I'll let you go if you tell me."
"…" Why did it sound like he was lying to a child?
However, this question was much easier to answer.
Chen Shichang said, "It was the Courtesan at Huinuan Pavilion who taught me. I'm not sure what her name is."
Wang Lianhua's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe this answer.
"Really?"
Chen Shichang nodded bitterly.
Oh, there seemed to be some secret between this Courtesan and Wang Lianhua. Chen Shichang secretly thought in his heart.
*???*
Wang Lianhua seemed to be unable to accept it. "Good girl, say it again. If you tell me the truth, I'll reward you. If you don't, you see, I, Wang Lianhua, am not a bad person.
How about I take you to see the world and meet more high-ranking officials and nobles?
It's just a matter of a word from you. "
Perhaps if it was another female singer, she might have happily agreed.
However, Chen Shichang had at least read the original novel.
What kind of person was Wang Lianhua? The high-ranking officials and nobles who could deal with him might have been in the same gang as him.
If he wasn't satisfied, Chen Shichang's end would be very miserable.
"You don't believe me?"
Chen Shichang shook his head.
"Good girl, I'm also an expert. I can take on any form I want.
Sun Wukong's 72 Transformations is also not a problem.
If you can help me find the Flowering Hour, I'll teach you a trick. "
"…" These words were so low, as if he was lying to a child.
"You don't believe me?"
Chen Shichang shook his head.
Prince Wang, you're a big boss, a big boss among big bosses, the best of the transformers, and a big boss among big bosses in women's clothing. At first glance, you're the big boss who's the female lead.
So, big boss, can you speak properly?
Eh, why are you suddenly performing?
Or changing faces in Sichuan Opera?
Wang Lianhua's face changed into a black face with a full beard. Then, with a swoosh, it changed into the face of a beautiful woman.
Wang Lianhua said slightly proudly, "With this skill of mine, if you learn it, your mama won't wait until you're old and weak to sell your body."
Chen Shichang slowly raised his head. His reaction was calm, as if he had watched a face change in Sichuan Opera. In fact, it was quite interesting. At least the makeup could not see the original outline at all.
But Chen Shichang knew that this was likely to be a trap.
Changing faces, disguising, the difference was not small.
It couldn't be said that changing one's face into another person's face meant changing one's appearance into another person's.
To change one's appearance, it was not only the face that changed, but also the voice, tone of speech, habitual movements, and even the facial expression and personality of the target person.
Only then could it be said to be a successful disguise.
Gu Daxia did not mention this in the book.
In the original work, Wang Lianhua's disguise performance on Zhu Qiqi was that except for the clothes, everything else was a different person.
The whole face, voice, and movements were all different _ | |
Why did it save Prince Wang so much effort when changed to himself?
Chen Shichang suddenly had an idea, "Young Master, if you change your appearance to that of Flowering Hour's Miss, won't you be able to slightly relieve the pain of lovesickness?"
This cold joke was probably a cold one. Prince Wang could not continue acting for a while. He stood in place and glared.
"Young Master, why don't you come with me to a place to take a look?
Maybe she really is the person you're looking for? "
Wouldn't it be better to take you to take a look? Seeing is believing. If you change the name of "Flowering Hour", who knows, just based on a name …
Chen Shichang further explained, "Young Master, you'll know when you see her. Maybe she has already changed her appearance?"
Although Wang Lianhua Prince Wang still had a smile on his face, the ice in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.
"Good girl, you're joking. After I met her, she promised me that she would not stay in this kind of place and sink into depravity."
Eh?
There really was something going on?
However, he was afraid that she was just putting on a show and agreeing to his request.
"You don't believe me?"
Wang Lianhua saw Chen Shichang's disdainful expression at a glance and gave Chen Shichang a headshot with her folding fan.
"Flowering Hour is a good girl, and so are you. You're a bit like her when she was young. You don't believe in anything and always insist on your own opinions.
You've also learned her habit of playing the pipa perfectly! "
Wang Lianhua seemed to be gnashing her teeth as she said the last sentence.
Chen Shichang finally understood why Wang Lianhua was so sure that she knew where "Flowering Hour" was hiding.
