Chapter 13 Included in the Green Building
Hearing those two nouns, Mo Yi became even more silent.
"Casinos and green buildings...", Mao Qing muttered to himself, "It seems that this mortal is either fond of money or obsessed with beauty! Hey, little stone, you must have been there, right? Describe it to me, I can make a reference!" After speaking, he poked Mo Yi with his elbow.
"Ahem~" Mo Yi choked on a mouthful of water in his throat, "You... Don't give people nicknames... And, where could I have been to that kind of place. β
"What a coincidence! I haven't been there either, so let's go and see it together!"
Mo Yi's eyebrows furrowed, thinking that this was really not a coincidence...
"Don't be too naΓ―ve, whether you go to a casino or a green house, it won't work without money. Ziyu, who was quiet next to her, suddenly spoke.
"I have the money!" Mao Qing took out a string of money from his arms and spread it in the palm of his hand very happily. It was the 'entanglement' that Mo Yi's mother-in-law, Wu shoehorned into them.
Ziyu glanced at it lightly, and snorted lightly in her nose: "I'm afraid these are only enough to pay for tea a few times, and even tonight's accommodation is far away." β
"What then?" said Miaoqing's sad face.
"Do you want me to show you the way?" Ziyu took out a folding fan out of nowhere, stretched it open with a 'whoosh', and spread it out on her chest and fanned it leisurely.
"Can you not sell Guanzi?" Mao Qing half-held his cheeks, raised his eyes to look at him, and muttered in his mouth.
"This is the solution..."Ziyu closed the fan, stretched one end to Mao Qing's chin, raised it slightly, and pretended to be frivolous in tone, "Send you to the Qinglou to make money." β
Haoqing's eyes widened, and she looked at him with a flicker, full of doubt.
"Do you mean me?" she asked, pointing to herself.
"In terms of appearance alone, it is indeed a captivating city. Ziyu withdrew her fan and smiled.
"It's just that the personality is too bad. Mo Yi on the side deliberately raised his voice and added.
"Youβ" he clenched his fists with a loud bang.
"Alright. That's the know-it-all solution. One can make some money, and the other is to inquire about some news. Wouldn't it be wonderful to kill two birds with one stone? Moreover, although it is a Qinglou, your cultivation is not in vain, and it is enough to deal with mortals. When the time comes, if you have the chance, we will join in, so that you don't get so busy that you forget what you have to do. Ziyu took the handle of the fan and tapped it in her palm, and said slowly.
Mao Qing bit her lower lip, her eyes rolled twice, and finally she couldn't find a reason to refute it, so she nodded helplessly.
After paying for the tea, the three of them found a secret place in the suburbs.
Mao Qing first used a blinding method to patch their clothes into patches according to Ziyu's instructions, then grabbed the top of their hair twice, tore their hair up, and finally wiped a handful of dirt on their faces.
Mao Qing raised his face and looked at Ziyu, his black jewel-like eyes widened: "It's okay now, right?"
Ziyu raised her hand and pinched her cheek, rubbing off some dirt: "Originally, I went in by my face, and this place is the dirtiest." β
"But just having a clean face, doesn't it seem that the intention is too obvious?" Mo Yi frowned.
"Haha!!" Ziyu laughed playfully, "Speaking of which, among the three of us, the one who doesn't understand mortals the most is precisely you, who are mortals! β
"Alright, alright. Wen Crepe's words, hurry up and put it away. Let's put the lines in pairs, and get ready to start singing!" Mao Qing was too lazy to study these, and kept urging the two who were a little leisurely.
Half an hour later, the three of them came to the door of the 'Lane Spring Garden'.
It's just that his clothes are too shabby, and before he gets close, he is driven away by a group of gatekeepers at the front door.
I didn't want to cause any arguments, so I reluctantly walked around to the backyard and tried to walk through the 'back door'.
Standing in front of the old red lacquer door, checking left and right to see no one, Ziyu stretched out her hand, 'bang', clinging to the copper ring on the door, and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a long time, a smoky smell of fat powder entered my nose.
The beads and jade clanged against each other, the door slowly opened, and a middle-aged woman dressed in fancy clothes opened the door. From his age and dress, it can be seen that this person is the old bustard of this 'Lane Spring Garden'.
Mao Qing frowned when she looked at the woman who painted herself like a colorful canvas, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"It's really bad luck to beg for food and go to another house!" the old bustard covered his mouth and nose with a fan, and wanted to close the door in disgust.
"Wait, we're here to send a beautiful woman to your land!" Ziyu stepped forward and held on to the door frame.
The old bustard saw that although Ziyu was dressed and sloppy, her bearing was really extraordinary, so he held his footsteps, raised his thumb-thick eyebrows and said, "If there is any goods, send them over quickly and take a look, don't delay my time." β
Ziyu turned around slightly, beckoned to Haoqing, and motioned for her to come over.
Mao Qing stepped forward knowingly, but he hadn't seen it yet, and the clothes and grooming alone made the bustard lose interest suddenly.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not short of spillers. After the words fell, he pushed Ziyu's hand away, wanting to close the door again.
So he rushed over, stuck directly in the middle of the crack in the door, raised his face, brushed his hair and glared at the old bustard.
Only then did the old bustard see the face of the peerless beauty, his heart was stagnant, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and the expression on his face turned from anger to surprise and joy.
"Ah!! it's you!!" She pulled Muqing into the door, looked around the circle from top to bottom, and pinched her waist from time to time, opened her sleeves, and checked her hidden skin under her clothes.
"Yo~ you little goblin~ It's really a national color and a fragrance!"
The little goblin was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had been seen through it, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not a goblin, I'm an elf, an elf!"
The old bustard raised the fan to cover his mouth and smiled, and the wrinkles around his eyes couldn't be hidden: "Your name is Jinling?" β
Mo Yi pressed the corner of her forehead, really regretted because of her IQ, and immediately stepped forward to solve the siege: "Indeed, Jinling is the small character of the sister." β
"She's your own sister, can she be innocent, and we're not willing to provoke some unclean people. The old bustard turned to Mo Yi.
Ziyu nudged Mo Yi, and Mo Yi immediately understood and said according to the original line: "It is indeed my own sister, and this is my younger brother." Mo Yi pointed to Ziyu, and then continued: "Because of the flood in my hometown, there was no harvest of ten acres of cultivated land. I wanted to come here to join my relatives, but I didn't find it for half a month. The entanglement has been exhausted, so I made this decision, and I hope to entrust my sister. Because we are from a white family, we only sell our art and do not sell our bodies, but we just want to earn some food. β
The bustard nodded, and examined it carefully.
After a long time, she stuffed a few ingots of silver into Mo Yi's arms, pulled Mao Qing and walked inside.
"Wait!!" Mo Yi suddenly called.
"What's the matter? I've given a lot. "The bustard was a little upset.
"I don't know if we can take in our brothers together, and we can still do some rough work. Mo Yi saluted.
"Don't dream, although this is a men's town, it can't accommodate male miscellaneous servants. After speaking, he pulled Mao Qing forward, unwilling to spend more time with them.
Mo Yi sighed helplessly and prepared to turn back. It seems that he can only wait for the opportunity to meet with Mao Qing again.
"Oh no, Silver Lady!" The pillar above the stage suddenly fell, injuring the luthier and flute master who were playing for the dancing girl. A woman dressed as a girl in white hurriedly came over and reported to the bustard.
It turned out that this old bustard's name was Silver Lady.
"It's... How is this good? Obviously, the guests are coming. Now that the middle of the month is not far away, you can tell me, where can I find two musicians?"
"Thatβ" Mo Yi turned back and interrupted their conversation.
"Tell me quickly, don't you see that the old lady is busy?"
"I know how to play the flute, but I don't know if I can replace it. Mo Yi rolled up his sleeves and stood upright, and said lightly.
"I happen to be good at some piano skills. Ziyu immediately chimed in.
"Oops~ Why didn't you say it earlier. It seems that the heavens are decided!" Yin Niang immediately changed to a pleasant face, "Then you can all stay in Langchun Garden for the time being! These days, you can practice with your sister and prepare for the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the middle of the month!"
"Hundred Flowers Banquet?" Mao Qing was a little surprised.
"You are really a foreigner, but you don't know this Hundred Flowers Banquet? The name of this town is 'Jishui', and the name of this garden is 'Langchun'. There is a saying in this world, 'Beauty is no match for water, and beauty is no match for spring.' That's what he was referring to. And this Hundred Flowers Banquet is an annual event in the town, how many nobles squeezed their heads and just wanted to see the beauty hidden here?" explained Yinniang.
"By the way, Jinling, you have to take a stage name. β
Mo Yi pushed the absent-minded Mao Qing, and only then did she realize that 'Jinling' was calling herself.
"What's your stage name?" she muttered.
"All the women in this garden are named after flowers. It's just that this hibiscus, begonia, and red plum already have owners, I don't know what name to give you?"
"Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons. Although the lotus is simple, it is better than nature. Let's call it 'Qinglian', right?" Mo Yi said in a deep voice.
Yinniang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement: "It's chic, let's settle it like this!"
