Chapter 9 The sound of the piano is romantic
There is a rule in the Full Moon Building, all the new girls in the building must follow the old people in the building to get acquainted with it for a few days before picking up customers alone, so the old bustard arranged for Mo Ruxue to follow the top courtesan Hongmei in the Full Moon Building. Hongmei learned pipa at the age of ten, entered the Full Moon Building at the age of twelve, and became the top brand of the Full Moon Building at the age of fifteen, earning a lot of fame for the Full Moon Tower. Mo Ruxue Xiaohongmei is half a year old, and the two call each other sisters.
Spring is getting stronger, the nights are no longer cold, and the sound of insects is one after another, adding a lot of fun to the boring night. It was a distinguished guest who ordered Hongmei tonight, and the old bustard was particularly concerned about this person, and instructed Hongmei and Mo Ruxue to entertain her, otherwise the entire Full Moon Building would be put in if the distinguished guests were angered.
The room was already furnished, with a bamboo curtain dividing the room into two parts. Hongmei was dressed in a yellow and white dress, sitting in front of the curtain with a pipa in her arms, and Mo Ruxue was wearing a delicate golden hairpin, wearing a few silk flowers and sitting behind the curtain. After following Hongmei for three or four days, Mo Ruxue was still a little uneasy. Although she had been in the land of fireworks, she had never seen guests when she was young, and now she works as a courtesan here, and she can't help but be a little haphazard when she meets customers. What's more, the bustard's attitude tonight is quite different from usual.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, the so-called guest of the old bustard had not yet arrived, Mo Ruxue was a little breathless, so she asked quietly: "Sister Hongmei, why haven't today's guests come yet?"
Hongmei turned her head and said, "Sister Xue'er, don't worry, it's common for guests to be late." Be patient in what we do. ”
Mo Ruxue lifted the corner of the bamboo curtain, exposed half of her body, and said, "My sister is taught." Sister, do you know who your mother is talking about?"
Hongmei raised her hand and motioned to Mo Ruxue to put down the bamboo curtain and not move at will: "This person's name is Li Tanlun, and he has some power in Qingzhou City. His father has a slight connection with today's imperial relatives, and I heard that Li Gongzi has always had a very bad temper, if he has a request, we will do our best, and we must not offend. ”
Li Tanlun is a well-known son of a gentleman in Qingzhou City, and his family is rich and powerful. It is said that the Li family was able to make a fortune because his father Li Nian hugged the thigh of the emperor's relatives, and the emperor's relatives who were hugged on the thighs were Han Jili, the nine kings of the Yan Kingdom today. Li Tanlun has more than Chinese New Year's Eve, there are many wives and concubines in the family, and the eldest daughter has reached the age of jasper, even so, he still goes in and out of Fireworks Willow Lane many times as when he was young.
Mo Ruxue nodded, obediently put down the bamboo curtain, and took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and put it on the table. A few days ago, she found a few herbs in the backyard of the Full Moon Building, so she picked the recipe to make Ecstasy and wore it at any time in case of emergency.
Leaning less, Li Tanlun pushed the door and entered. Mo Ruxue glimpsed a figure behind the curtain with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. After a closer look, I saw that Li Tanlun was gorgeously dressed, with a pair of sword eyebrows upside down on his face, reddish eyes embedded in his eye sockets, a towering nose, and a thick beard on his lips. As soon as he spoke, his voice sounded like a bell.
"You're the Red Plum Girl?"
Hongmei nodded. She was born with a hibiscus face, ice and snow muscles, and under the light of day, she was even more beautiful and moving.
Li Tanlun stared at Hongmei with a pair of salivating eyes and said: "I have long heard that Hongmei girl is both talented and beautiful, and when I see it today, it is really alive and fragrant, which makes people want to stop." ”
Hongmei smiled like a flower, bowed her head and said shyly: "Li Gongzi has won the award." ”
The table was full of wine and food, Li Tanlun chose a place close to Hongmei to sit down, and said with a smile: "The old bustard said that you are good at pipa, it is better to play a song for me to listen to." ”
"Natural", Hongmei's delicate voice is pleasant: "Li Gongzi is willing to listen to the songs of the slave family, and the slave family is very happy." As she spoke, she held the lute upright. The left hand presses the strings, the right hand plays, the music played, the sound is sonorous, it is the most popular music rhyme in Qingzhou.
Li Tanlun didn't understand music, but he still closed his eyes and pretended to be very proficient, in fact, what he was thinking about at the moment was the beauty of Hongmei like a fairy.
After the song, Li Tanlun stroked his palms and applauded: "The girl in the Full Moon Building is the most knowledgeable and interesting, and she is both talented and beautiful." ”
Hongmei has long been accustomed to hearing these words of praise, she bowed her head and saluted, and said casually: "Childe has won the award." ”
Floating inside, the bamboo curtain lined with colorful threads is hazy, and the figure of Mo Ruxue behind the curtain seems to be nothing, and the shadow is sufficient. Li Tanlun smiled and squinted behind Hongmei and asked, "Who is the one behind the curtain, can you let me have a glimpse of her face?"
Hongmei replied in a low voice: "This person is the righteous sister of the slave family, because she is ashamed to see people, she has been playing the piano behind the curtain after coming to the Full Moon Tower. ”
Li Tanlun casually bowed to the bamboo curtain and said, "Can the girl come out to meet?"
Mo Ruxue lightly played the tassel on the piano and replied: "Li Gongzi, let's finish the music played by the slave family and my sister first." ”
When Hongmei heard this, she picked up the pipa and began to pluck the strings, Mo Ruxue stroked the piano with her hand behind the curtain, and the chorus sounded like a spring and an empty stream. Li Tanlun still didn't know how to pretend to understand, so he stroked his palm and applauded: "Miss Xue'er's piano skills are really good, and the ensemble of Miss Hongmei and Miss Xue'er makes me fascinated and almost wants to become immortals." ”
Mo Ruxue walked out of the bamboo curtain, a pair of willow eyebrows and red cheeks, she came to the table with a smile, and saluted Li Tanlun: "I have seen Li Gongzi, the slave's name is Xue'er." ”
Li Tanlun noticed that Mo Ruxue had traces of acting on the spot, so he was no longer interested in Mo Ruxue. He grabbed Hongmei's silk handkerchief and said sincerely: "The beauty of Hongmei girl is like the song she plays, and she has received my three souls and seven spirits." ”
The silk handkerchief in her hand was pulled by someone, and it was the first time that Hongmei, a courtesan who was a courtesan who did not sell her body, had encountered it for the first time, she let go of the silk handkerchief, and said a little nervously: "Li Gongzi, I have won the award." ”
Li Tanlun sniffed the silk handkerchief, took the wine in his hand, squinted at Hongmei and said: "It's a prize, thank you, why do the girls in the Full Moon Building know these words over and over again." Let's just ask the red plum girl to drink this cup full. ”
As soon as the wine in the cup was drunk, Li Tanlun poured another cup for the red plum, and he said: "The song played is very good, the red plum girl, please drink the second cup." ”
Hongmei Yun's temples were half drooping, and she thanked in a soft and glutinous voice: "Thank you, Childe, Childe invites himself." "Drink it all at once.
After several rounds of wine, the cups and plates are messy. Li Tanlun deliberately staggered, shook the red plum jade arm, and said: "The red plum girl is born with a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, I don't know if I can spend the Spring Festival together tonight?"
Pulling out the jade arm, Hongmei hurriedly evaded: "Gongzi Li should know that the slave family and his sister only sell their arts, not their bodies." ”
Li Tanlun pretended not to hear clearly, and asked, "Miss Hongmei's voice is weak, can you talk to me closer?"
Hongmei put the pipa aside, turned her head away, and laughed in a low voice: "Li Gongzi deceived the slave family, I clearly heard it." ”
The incense in the furnace was overflowing with the breeze, Li Tanlun was quiet for a while, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Hongmei, I paid a lot of money today to get the bustard to promise to sell you to me for one night, and you are so unkind?"
After hearing this, Hongmei stood up and took a few steps back, and said, "The slave family doesn't know about this matter, please don't talk about it again." ”
Mo Ruxue stood aside in a cold sweat, she seemed to understand a little. Before, Lao Bustard told him not to offend Li Tanlun, but he was afraid of Li Tanlun's power and sold her and Hongmei to Li Tanlun.
Li Tanlun laughed a few times, pulled Hongmei into his arms, and said, "I know it, I can still be happy tonight." ”
Hongmei couldn't break free, and said sharply: "Please let go of the slave family, if Li Gongzi persecutes the slave family, the slave family would rather die than obey." ”
Li Tanlun coveted the beauty of red plums, so he naturally refused to let it go. What's more, he had already bought off the bustard, so how could he care about Hongmei's words. At the moment, he hugged Hongmei tightly and cut Hongmei's hands on his back. He threatened: "Miss Hongmei, I advise you to be honest and obedient, if you offend me, you can't afford the consequences." ”
Seeing that Li Tanlun was going to untie his clothes, Mo Ruxue hurriedly hugged Li Tanlun's waist and said: "How did Li Gongzi forget the slave family, and so did Sister Hongmei, who wanted to refuse and welcome, which embarrassed my sister." ”
Li Tanlun let go of Hongmei, turned his face, glanced at Mo Ruxue, raised his hand to pick Mo Ruxue's chin, and said with a lewd smile: "Beauty, Hongmei is not happy, so how about we play?"
Mo Ruxue picked up the wine jug from the table and poured a full glass of wine. She said coquettishly: "Li Gongzi is in a hurry, he hasn't drunk the wine poured by the slave family yet." ”
The wine was brought to his lips with his hands, and Li Tanlun drank it in his mouth. He took advantage of Mo Ruxue's efforts to pour wine again, and immediately touched Mo Ruxue's face, and said, "Miss Xue'er is sincere, I can't wait to carry you to the bed immediately." ”
Mo Ruxue just smiled coquettishly and didn't speak.
Hongmei looked at Mo Ruxue and Li Gongzi in a daze, the autumn waves were frequent, she knew that Mo Ruxue was helping her to relieve the siege, so she said: "Sister Xue'er, Li Gongzi's preference sister doesn't understand, let's come sister." ”
As soon as she took a step, Mo Ruxue gave a look, and Hongmei saw that Mo Ruxue's hand wrapped in a silk handkerchief quietly pointed behind the curtain, and instantly understood, so she changed her words: "Well, since my sister wants to serve Li Gongzi, then my sister will go behind the curtain to play the pipa to help the fun." ”
While speaking, Li Tanlun put his hand on the back of Mo Ruxue's hand and stroked: "You two sisters are really interesting. ”
Mo Ruxue pretended to be angry and said vinegar: "Li Gongzi is interesting, Fang is thinking about Sister Hongmei, Sister Hongmei is not allowed, so she has become a slave again." Now it makes the slave family feel that Li Gongzi is insincere, and he is just playing with it, and he just uses the slave family as a stand-in for his sister. ”
"Why, Miss Cher has her own attraction to me. ”
Mo Ruxue took out the hand held by Li Gongzi, turned around and said: "The slave family doesn't believe it, if the son can't say why he chose the slave family again, the slave family won't play well with the son later, so that the son will not be happy." ”
Li Tanlun was anxious, and said a lot with an embarrassed face. Mo Ruxue smiled and widened her coat for Li Tanlun, helped Li Tanlun to the bed, opened the screen and called: "Sister Hongmei, don't play tricks on Li Gongzi anymore, come out from behind the curtain, and serve Li Gongzi with your sister." ”
Hongmei answered, poured a glass of wine to the bed, and said to Li Tanlun: "The slave family uses this cup to apologize to Li Gongzi, and invites Li Gongzi to play with the slave family after drinking." ”
The drink is in the throat and slightly sweet. The beauties in front of Li Tanlun changed from two to four, he staggered and was about to pounce, but suddenly his neck hurt and he fell to the ground.
