Chapter 2: The Glass Lock (2)

I have been here for more than half a month.

In the past month and a half, I have already walked around the streets outside, and I have come to the conclusion that the human world is indeed much more lively than the heavenly court. There is everything to eat, play and play, and play tricks and pinch clay figures, of course, the premise of wanting to have fun is that you must have money.

But in general, this place is better than the Empty Xuan Palace, in the past, I asked Senior Sister Jiu to borrow a personal book, and I had to waste my tongue for a long time, to ensure this guarantee and that, and to meet her many unreasonable requirements. Now that I have come to the human world, I understand why those immortals secretly descended to earth, the human world is indeed much better than the cold heavenly court, so good that I don't even want to go back.

Childe opened a small shop in the past month and a half, and the store was full of all kinds of liquor, and I was very puzzled by this, and asked him, "Aren't you going to collect tears? How do you collect tears when you open a sake brewery? Besides, you still open a shop in such a remote place." ”

Childe's shop is not located on a busy street like others, but in a secluded alley, far away from the city. So, who will come to the door, and how will he collect tears to make wine?

Childe listened to my words, shook the twenty-four bones of the white jade bone fan that had not been paved with a fan, smiled mysteriously, and dropped the sentence "Destined people will find it" and shook into the back room.

Actually, I don't agree with him, he wants to wait for someone to come to the door by himself, this is undoubtedly waiting for the rabbit, sitting in place like the farmer and waiting for the rabbit to bump into it, this idea is very stupid, I think as long as it is a normal rabbit, it will not hit the tree, and the same is true for people.

But other than that, I don't have much of an opinion. After all, there aren't many opportunities to eat, play, and do nothing, so I have to hurry.

On this day, I walked around the street with my newly bought pastries, counting with my fingers, and it has been more than a month since I came to the world, but there is still no one who has come to the door.

But Childe doesn't seem to be in a hurry, he is idle all day long, occasionally selling wine and fishing, and his life is quite comfortable. I looked very anxious, if it wasn't for him urging me to wait patiently, I am afraid that I would have returned to the Empty Xuan Hall a long time ago.

I sighed, and was about to go back and continue to guard the shop and wait for someone to find the door, when I suddenly heard the voice of an extremely chaotic woman.

I stopped, and when I looked up, I saw a pavilion not far away, decorated with red and willow green. I looked down and saw the gilded words "Drunken Spring Building" on the plaque hanging in front of the building. Looking further down, I saw several women dressed in fancy clothes surrounded by several men, and another group of men scrambled to the building.

I looked very curious, so I moved my steps to follow and join in the fun. But when I was about to squeeze into the building with the crowd, I was stopped by an old woman wearing heavy makeup.

She pulled me aside, then looked me up and down, and finally shook the fragrant feather fan and said to me in a strange way: "Little girl, this is not for you, hurry up and go home!"

I looked at her back and thought it was strange. It's the same people, why can men go in like that, and those women who are fancy can also go in, why can't I?

Of course, this little difficulty can't stop me from joining in the fun.

I stepped aside, pinched a trick, and when I opened my eyes again, I was in the attic. As far as the eye can see, there are red flowers, green curtains, women in their arms and men who take the opportunity to eat tofu.

I was stunned by what I saw, and I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

In my subconscious, I have always thought that mortal people do their duty. Women marry and raise children, men earn money to support their families, and the family lives happily.

But now this scene has completely turned my concept upside down. I've been in the world for a while, and I haven't heard of this kind of place, nor have I seen it in the Ninth Senior Sister's book. When I see it now, I am not only surprised, but also amused.

In the heavenly court, although there are fairies who are bold, at most they only come forward to talk and hold hands with the people they admire in their hearts, and so far there has never been a phenomenon of throwing them into their arms.

And here, these women dressed only in light veils are simply stunned to be bold, not only throwing themselves into their arms, but also taking advantage of each other and enjoying themselves.

I think if those fairies in the Heavenly Court had learned this, Childe probably wouldn't have the leisure to go to the mortal world to make wine as he does now.

I imagined Childe and those fairies taking advantage of each other, and shrunk my shoulders for a long time. When I finished laughing, I looked up and saw that the people around me were looking at me in surprise, and I was stunned and replied with a vicious expression.

There were more and more people in the building, and I was so crowded that I couldn't stand on my feet, so I simply found a corner and sat down. The man I had pushed aside gave me a strange look, then turned to talk to my companion.

I sat there a little bored, so I took the pastry in my hand and ate it with relish. The words of the people sitting next to me drifted into my ears in small pieces, and I moved my ears and continued to listen quietly.

According to them, there are not so many people in this drunken spring building on weekdays. The reason why there are so many people today is because this drunken spring building has not long been visited by a geisha who is good at the piano. And she not only has excellent piano skills, but also looks good.

Of course, these are just rumors, and they haven't seen them with their own eyes.

And today is her first time performing in public, so there will be so many people here. Whether it is to come here or to join in the fun, in the end it is just to listen to her piano sound, take a look at her appearance, and see if it is really as rumored, the piano plays well, and people are also dusty.

I don't know when it began, but the noisy building gradually became quiet. I followed everyone's gaze with hindsight, and saw that on the color table that had been erected, the old woman who had stopped me before was talking about something with a happy face.

I sat a little far away and couldn't hear clearly, only vaguely heard her say something welcome, followed by a sentence of "Suyue will come out immediately".

I thought about it and thought that "Su Yue" should be the geisha.

To be honest, I was curious to know what this geisha looked like, and if she was really as rumored, good-looking and piano-skilled. You must know that in this profession, it is rare to be famous for craftsmanship and appearance.

Thinking like this, a layer of tulle was lowered on the erected color table, separating one color table into two spaces.

A man dressed in white came out of the back room. She was holding a seven-stringed guqin, and her face was not very real due to the cover of the tulle.

Someone in the audience sighed in disappointment, as if they were secretly sorry for not being able to see her true face. Think about it, how many people here are here for her piano skills, and how many are here for her piano skills? Like me, I'm just here to join in the fun, I'm afraid I'm the only one.

I looked at the disappointed looks on the faces of the people around me and hid in the corner to secretly rejoice. The tulle on the stage was not much of a hindrance, so I could see her face clearly through the tulle.

She really lives up to people's praise and is an extremely beautiful woman.

Dressed in white clothes without decoration, a seven-stringed guqin. With watery eyes and a beautiful face, the white jade plum hairpin gently pulled up part of the hair, and the rest of the long hair was tilted straight behind the head. is obviously such a beautiful person, but he is surrounded by indifference that rejects people for thousands of miles.

Such a woman is hard to forget after meeting once.

A low, ethereal sound pulled me back from my fugue, and when I looked up again, I saw her sitting behind the table, her eyes lowered, her right hand raised and gently plucking the strings.

One after another was softly plucked out, different from the small bridge flowing music I imagined, she played the song intermittently, as if it was just plucked at random, but when you listen to it together, it feels quiet and elegant, ethereal and elegant. After a song, it is all like this, although it has a different charm, but I listen to it very strangely.

I often hear the music played by the fairy of Siyin in the heavenly court, although I don't understand it very well, but I have a seventh senior brother who is proficient in music.

He often told me that since ancient times, musical instruments have been emotionally moving, and although skill is also very important, if you are not emotionally engaged, then the music you play will have no soul.

And the guqin played by Su Yue, as the first of the four arts, has always been the most impressive and far-reaching. But the sound of the piano that I just heard has its shape and rhyme, and the skills are exquisite, but it does not inject the slightest emotion.

The music played like this is ethereal, but it is also frighteningly empty.

The last note was plucked out, and the low sound of the piano echoed through the building, and she stopped, still looking cold. Before everyone could react, he got up and turned around and walked into the back room, never saying a word from beginning to end.

Someone was stunned by her movements, and when she came back to her senses, she had an angry look on her face.

Thinking about it, in their hearts, no matter how Su Yue is, she is just a geisha who makes a living by selling arts, and she can't see anyone in her eyes like this.

Sure enough, just as I was thinking like this, a man in a blue robe stood up and said to Su Yue, who was leaving, "Girl, please wait!"

Su Yue's steps paused, she tilted her head slightly, but there was no expression on her face.

When the man saw that she really stopped, his face had a little smugness: "The girl's piano skills are really admired." I am here today and I am fortunate to hear the sound of the girl's piano, but I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see the girl's face?"

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the building. I watched Su Yue hold the piano and tilt her head slightly, her eyes were cold, and the warm light from the candle flame fell on her, leaving a beautiful silhouette.

"You want to see me?" she asked, her voice like a jewel, but her tone was so cold that it didn't rise or fall in the slightest.

Seeing that she threw the question back again, the man's face was a little unnatural, but he still said very decently: "This is natural, everyone here is here to see the girl." ”

She slowly turned her head away when she heard this, her eyelids drooped slightly, and her eyelashes were thick and long: "It's a pity that not everyone is qualified to see me." ”

When she said this extremely arrogant sentence, there was still no expression on her face, and her tone was natural and natural, as if it should have been like this.
