Chapter 101: Teach a Man the Piano
And she, the servant, was sleeping soundly in a delicate room in Tianyuan Pavilion at this time, the reddish curtains were hung on both sides, and Xiao Nan nested in the same reddened quilt.
A woman in a light blue gauze dress walked in with a basin of hot water and placed it on a washstand next to a delicate dresser.
"Childe, wake up, it's time for breakfast. The woman called softly.
Xiao Nan stood up, squinted at the strange woman in front of the bed, and wondered in his heart, "Why did she come in?"
But then he woke up and said, "I slept too late last night, and it's still early, right?"
"Childe, it's not early, our hall master asked me to serve Childe to get up, and the ladies in the pavilion are waiting for you. ”
"Wait for me?"
"Childe, have you forgotten? You promised to teach the girl in the pavilion to play the piano. ”
After Xiao Nan finished washing, he looked at his new appearance in the mirror uncomfortably, stroked the raised cheekbones with his hand, shook his head, and suddenly appeared in his heart with a dumb wry smile, "My appearance is quite a match for Lu Yiying." ”
"It's too ugly!" Xiao Nan couldn't help but say to himself in the mirror.
The woman who was waiting next to him was also amused by his words and deeds.
Xiao Nan turned his head to look at her, wrinkled his nose and asked, "My appearance is quite scary, right?"
"No, no, Childe is not ugly, and Childe is tall and big, and his body is also very well-proportioned....... The woman hurriedly comforted.
"I'm well-proportioned, really?" Xiao Nan stood up, stretched out his arms, and twisted his crotch, he sincerely wanted to tease the woman in front of him.
The woman's face flushed, and she squeaked in embarrassment: "It's true, Childe, let's go, they are still waiting." ”
The Pavilion covers a large area, separated by several areas, and these different areas have different functions.
After breakfast, Xiao Nan followed the maid through a garden with an excellent view at the back of the room and came to a building behind the Tianyuan Pavilion.
"This is the place to entertain distinguished guests. The maid pointed to a four-story pavilion with carved beams and paintings in front of her and said to Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan nodded indifferently.
"Our hall master said, you will live here from now on. ”
These words made Xiao Nan feel a little energetic, "I will live here in the future?
The maid glanced at him when she heard this, "What kind of male and female, that is our Shen Hall Master, the only female Hall Master of Jingyun Gate." ”
When I walked into the pavilion with the maids, I could already hear the laughter of the women.
The two turned right into a huge hall, and the scattered crowd inside was suddenly silenced, and they all looked at Xiao Nan.
"Young Master Xiao, you can really sleep. A woman spoke from the crowd.
"We've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"If we had known, we would have slept more and wake up later. ”
......
A sentence of dissatisfied complaints gathered, and Xiao Nan looked at this group of charming beauties in a daze.
"Okay, okay," Hall Master Shen, who was wearing a lilac coat, grinned toothedly in the crowd and beckoned to Xiao Nan, "Come here, don't pay attention to this group of crazy girls." ”
When Xiao Nan approached, Hall Master Shen led him to a position in the center of the hall, "Young Master Xiao, you can teach everyone here." ”
Xiao Nan nodded, then sat down, and saw that there was a tea set next to Dongyue Zheng on the desk in front of him, so he lifted the pot and poured himself a cup.
Shen Tang Master still wanted to say a few words, but seeing Xiao Nan like this, she had no choice but to give up, she stretched out her finger and nodded to the two middle-aged men beside her, and the two sat on Xiao Nan's left and right, each with a case, and there was paper and pen on the case.
Seeing Xiao Nan's puzzled eyes, Hall Master Shen smiled and said, "These two are the musicians of our Tianyuan Pavilion, I will let him write the score, Xiao Gongzi, you won't mind, right?"
Xiao Nan's rough cheeks showed a hint of cunning, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course you don't mind, can you start?"
He really doesn't mind divulging his talents to others, just like a river doesn't care about the flow of water.
However, Xiao Nan had the heart of the game at this moment, "You come to keep the score, then I will play a song with the fastest speed and the most complicated fingering." ”
With Xiao Nan as the center, more than 50 prostitutes who came to listen to the lecture sat in an arc, and Hall Master Shen was also among them.
The sound of "Ding Ding Dongdong" came suddenly, like a shower pouring down, but seeing Xiao Nan's head swinging vigorously with the music, a pair of hands jumped out of a chaotic afterimage on the strings.
In the hall, the listeners were thrilled by the violent music, sometimes as if they were in the wilderness of the wind and the sand and rocks, and sometimes they seemed to be deep in the realm of gold and iron colliding and people roaring and neighing.
Xiao Nanshi left and right, squinting at the notator next to him, with a smug look on his face.
Suddenly, this tragic and tragic music came to an abrupt end, Xiao Nan shook his arms, and raised his eyes to look at the people who were already sluggish, like a group of petrified living people.
After a while, he pouted and said, "Give me some applause!"
This abrupt request immediately rejuvenated the group of listeners, "How can there be such a request?"
It is true that there is no such thing in their world.
"I won't give it to you!" said a woman.
"Who can learn this tune!"
"He did it on purpose......"
In the crusade of the women, Xiao Nan smiled more comfortably, grinning and revealing two rows of neat white teeth.
"If you still laugh, you know that you are deliberate, deliberately making such a difficult song to embarrass us. "The women were angry and hateful.
"Of course I did it on purpose. Xiao Nan felt more and more interesting in his heart.
But then, he put away his teasing and began to teach in real life.
After a whole morning, he finally taught him to play a very ordinary tune.
The note-keeper next to him also made a complete record of this tune, which was a precious thing to them.
At the end of the scene, Xiao Nan was beckoned by the Shen Hall Master to accompany him, and the maid who woke him up in the morning also followed behind.
went up to the third floor and walked to the door of the leftmost room, Hall Master Shen said: "You will live in this room in the future, this girl used to follow me, her name is Xiaoling, she has good hands and feet, I will let her serve your diet and daily life for the time being." ”
"Then thank you so much for Hall Master Shen for taking such good care of me. ”
Hall Master Shen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to brush the green silk on his sideburns, and said, "Brother Xiao, first in the lobby, I thought of an idea, and I will discuss it with you to see if you are interested." ”
"Let's talk about it first. Xiao Nan was also a little curious.
"Your skill in playing the Dongyue Zheng is simply amazing, and the music is novel, I am thinking, please come to your living room every night to play a few songs. ”
Xiao Nan frowned slightly, and said to himself in his heart, "I don't want to waste too much time on this." ”
"Don't worry, of course I won't ask you to go in vain and ask for a reward. ”
Xiao Nan's brows suddenly widened, and he was happy in his heart. "I'm still worried that I can't find a way to earn spirit stones, and I really didn't expect that here, my old profession can also play a role. ”
So he asked, "How much?"
Hall Master Shen glanced at him dissatisfiedly, "That's it, the income is thirty-seven open." ”
"It's too inappropriate for you to be three or seven, and I can't take it at ease, so let's open it in five or five, and be harmonious, everyone will be at ease. Xiao Nan deliberately distorted the meaning of the other party and joked seriously.
Hall Master Shen was so angry that he snorted, and sneered: "You think beautifully, pay me back three and you seven." This land is mine, and the source of this business is also mine, and I will give you food and accommodation, you are embarrassed to say it. ”
"That's why I don't think that's appropriate, so I propose a fair five-five opening. Xiao Nan's ugly face showed a less offensive smile.
"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to mess around with you, four six open, I'm four and you, phew, I'm confused by you, it's you four and I'm six. ”
After Shen Tang finished speaking, the little bell next to him covered his mouth and smiled.
"Okay, I promise, but I have one request, I only play five songs a night, not one more. ”
Hall Master Shen groaned slightly, nodded in agreement.
The basic consumption of this expensive living room is ten high-grade spirit stones, which is more than ten times higher than the consumption in the previous building, in addition to the food and drink are more expensive, the environment and the singer are also more upgrade.
Most of the people who come here to consume are the sons and young masters of some wealthy families, and a large part of the people from other cities who pass by here also account for a large part.
The general Yin Shi family only chooses here for banquets on special days or when negotiating business, and the reason is just to save face, and usually they don't have the luxury to come here.
Hall Master Shen is a woman who is very good at business, so she thought of cooperating with Xiao Nan.
In the first few days, in the middle of the Kabuhime performance, Xiao Nan appeared in front of the guests very suddenly, and they were very surprised, because no man had performed this for a long time.
In addition to enjoying the beautiful singing and dancing, there is also a reason for the guests to come here, of course, to revel in the variety of customs brought to them by the carefully selected singers.
But as soon as Xiao Nan played the song, they were stunned in another way. A new kind of music shook them, and a new way of playing was refreshing.
So a few days later, Xiao Nan became a popular Dongyue Zheng player in the first few batches of guests.
Xiao Nan knew the power of popularity, and she also knew that this power could create visible value, and Hall Master Shen, she had a premonition of this situation before.
So after a few days of these groups of guests, who had been invited every night, the shrewd woman knew that the time was ripe.
On the eighth day, Hall Master Shen raised the price, announcing that it had been directly raised from ten top-grade spirit stones to one hundred.
The excited guests were all angry when they heard this, and it was inevitable that they would clash with each other, but in the end they had to walk away.
After all, this Tianyuan Pavilion was opened by Jingyun Gate, so this night, the hall where the VIPs were received was empty.
On the ninth day, at dusk, Hall Master Shen and a few girls were drinking tea and chatting in the room, and a maid pushed the door in.
"Hall master, there are more than ten guests, many of them are outsiders. ”
Hall Master Shen smiled faintly, tidied up his makeup, and said to a few girls, "Let's go, you all follow me to the living room." ”
