Chapter 15: A Blockbuster (Part II)
The merchant stood alone by the side door of the stage, listening to the Hu Xuan dance music with the style of the Western Regions stopping abruptly after a fierce pouring like a torrential rain, and the barbarians on the stage swept the entire stage with a tornado-like rapid rotation in this fierce tune, and set a perfect freeze frame with the music stopped, but the silver bell on Xiao Man's waist refused to stop, and with her breathing trembling slightly, a thin layer of fine sweat was oozing on her wheat-colored skin.

Ruyi, Linglong, and Xiangnu's performances have ended, and at this time they have stayed in the background to remove their makeup, and it is the turn of the merchant after the barbarian dance, she playfully gave a salute, stepped back when the curtain was pulled up again, and smiled at her when she passed by the merchant.
"My sister has done her best today, and now my sister is the only one left, speaking of which, my sister hasn't seen my sister's singing and dancing yet! I'm looking forward to it, don't let my sister down! After speaking, he patted the merchant on the shoulder, crossed her, went backstage, and gathered with Linglong and Xiangnu to remove makeup, ignoring Ruyi, who was full of jealousy, in this workshop, few girls liked to stay with her.
After all the sisters who played the piano and the flute had already sat down, took a deep breath, and the merchant stabilized his mood and walked onto the stage where the curtain had not yet been opened, knelt down in front of a zheng, and quietly waited for the curtain to open.
As the performance progressed, the small silk album in the hands of all the spectators in the audience turned to the last page, this page is the same as the previous pages, with a simple pen and ink, a few strokes to describe a beauty in plain clothes, stroking the piano and singing, and writing on the side: The words "Shang Shang Yi cut plums". Everyone's interest was aroused at this moment, and this merchant must be the woman who was appreciated by Master Pei.
With the sound of the first kite, the crimson curtain on the stage was pulled open, and everyone's eyes were on the stage, but for some reason, this time the soft smoke in the inner layer was not opened, and the thin light veil covered everyone's eyes like smoke and mist, even the lanterns with a high fever around the listening platform could not let the eyes of the spectators pass through that layer of light veil.
Only vaguely can you see a graceful beauty, caressing Yaoqin, such a mystery, it is even more high in people's hearts.
The sound of the piano like water meandered through everyone's ears, and after a passage through the door, all the sounds stopped, only a flute sound always lingered and refused to disperse, at this moment, a clear female voice sounded like a clear spring.
"The red lotus fragrance remnants of the jade in autumn, lightly relieve Luo Shang, and go on the Lanzhou alone.
Who in the clouds sends the brocade book, when the goose word returns, the moon is full in the west building.
Flowers float and water flow freely, a kind of lovesickness, two sorrows.
There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned, but I was in my heart. ā
The hearts of everyone in the audience fell into this clear female voice at the moment when the song sounded, dancing with the flute sound, winding and coiling into the sky. After the song, all the piano flutes sounded at the same time, as if the woman's sorrow overflowed like a tide, drowning all the people, the soft smoke on the stage was hidden by the small guys hidden next to the pillar with a long rod slowly picked up, in the hearts of everyone, a peerless beauty finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
At this time, the merchant has left the guzheng, dancing slowly with the music on the stage, the Su brocade on the background wall of the stage is also pulled away, the bronze mirror of the whole wall reflects the fire of the lantern, illuminating the stage as bright as day, and a graceful woman figure in the bronze mirror is dancing opposite to the merchant, as if comforting the woman's loneliness.
The eyebrows are slightly frowned, the sparkling and sparkling eyes are charming, as if to blame the lover for not returning, accompanied by the falling silk vines, and the slender body under the long skirt swaying with the music, as if as long as a breeze can blow her down, weak as silk!
Such a woman should be pampered in the boudoir, or hidden in the golden house, and have the pity of a good person, but now in this dusty land, suffering so much, all the men held their breath, and only thought of holding this lovely woman in their arms, taking pity on her, and not letting her suffer so much, such a sin!
The sound of the flute rose again, the merchant raised his hand and gently brushed the vine luo hanging on his face, singing the second song of overlapping, his eyes seemed to have tears in his eyes, he raised his sleeves and leaned over, softened his waist, and turned around and rotated the skirt into a blooming spring flower in an instant, as red as the pomegranate on the sideburns, and the emerald green bluegrass branches and leaves on the side of the white jade carved fence seemed to be just to set off this rootless peerless flower.
Businessmen sang and danced, singing tactfully, dancing, she didn't want to cry, but in such a night, in front of everyone's eyes, for some reason, the boundless loneliness surrounded her like this, even in such a lively scene, she was just alone, no one to rely on, the tears in her eyes, not for love or love, but just for her own loneliness!
The sound of the flute and the sound of the zither entered the final end, a que three stacks, a stack of higher than a stack, the singing of the merchant also rose up, straight into the sky, to the last sigh but on the heart, the loud and clear sound can penetrate the golden cracked stone, but it is not harsh, only makes people feel like crying, as if there are many love words have not been said and have passed away with the wind, with the aftermath of the curling and scattering, the merchant jumps lightly, spinning, the gorgeous skirt flies apart, with the slightly raised wide sleeves, wants to fly but can not fly, finally, like a swan with folded wings, hovering, gradually falling down his waist, perched quietly on the stage, the skirt embroidered with large pomegranates was spread out into a dazzling red under his body, as hot as fire but revealing boundless loneliness!
The music had stopped, but there was silence on and off the stage, as if all the people had been petrified. The merchant suddenly felt tired, and he didn't want to move, thinking that he would just lie down like this! It's just helpless, it's really uncomfortable to hover and twist the posture of facing the sky like this, and after a while, I had to stand up gently, salute the audience, and said softly:
"The businessmen are ugly, and I hope you don't want to laugh!" There was no nervousness in the light voice, but it was like a pebble falling into the calm lake.
Everyone in the audience seemed to wake up, and for a while, the tide of sound came overwhelmingly, everyone slapped hard, praised loudly in their mouths, and the noisy voices were chaotic, and even some young men wanted to climb up to the listening platform to approach the merchants, which made Sister Yun, who was unable to react for a while, startled, and hurriedly called the little guys to stop the excited young boys, while directing the little guys on the stage to pull the curtain quickly.
She succeeded!
In fact, when Shang Shang opened her mouth to sing, Sister Yun knew that she was half of the success, Shang Shang's voice was unexpectedly pure, and now there are not many such good voices. When the merchant began to dance, this feeling was almost a kind of certainty, looking at the soft and light dance, no man could resist such a soft woman! In the weakness, there is a trace of coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away, and it is this desire to welcome and refuse that makes men crazy the most!
In terms of appearance, in terms of talent, businessmen are the best! As long as she wants to, no one can resist her peerless elegance! Although the silence in the audience was beyond Sister Yun's expectations, the madness that followed made Sister Yun even happier, which proved that she was right!
"It's a good one to frown, but it's in my heart!" Wu Wang Li Ke muttered this sentence, a pair of eyes as dark as the night glowed with fire, staring closely at the woman on the stage who was gradually hidden behind the curtain, such a woman! Singing such a haunting song in such a cold tone, but let people get a glimpse of her loneliness through this song, such a woman is unique! He raised his arm, and immediately a guard came to his ear.
"Go! This merchant girl has a reward of 100 gold. Li Ke propped his chin and commanded lightly, businessmen, right? She's worth the price!
"Yes!" The guard turned and went.
The white peony who was sitting on the side had a blue face, but he didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! The woman who had fallen in love with her in Luoyang City was actually this merchant! It's so small! When we met that day, where would I have thought that she would be so captivating in cotton clothes? White Peony has a very bad premonition that she will lose this year's Oiran Contest because of this woman!
There are two private rooms in front of the listening platform, one sits Wu Wang Li Ke, and the other has not lit the lamp from beginning to end, the black night seems to have even lost the private room, this private room is reserved for the people in the prince's mansion, but no one seems to be there.
"Hiko! A reward of 200 gold. A cold male voice suddenly came out of this dark Accord at this time, the voice was not loud, and a man in black standing outside the Accord answered in a low voice, and got off the Accomodation.
In the Accord, a man dressed in black sat quietly in the dark, blending into the night, his thin lips pursed lightly, and a glass cup between his slender fingers was slowly tilted, pouring all the strong wine in the cup into the depths of his throat.
"Merchant!" A sigh-like voice sounded softly in the darkness, and like a passing streamer, it was silent in an instant.
"You're ------ lonely too, aren't you?" As if whispering, the man put down the glass cup in his hand, pushed the door and left.
The merchant retreated from the front desk, sat down in front of the bronze mirror, and the little girl waiting on the side helped her unpack the pomegranate on her head.
"Merchant! Your singing and dancing are so good, you can see those men stunned! "Linglong and Xiangnu are both from beautiful backgrounds, and their experiences are similar to those of merchants, so they are always a little sympathetic, and they are very happy for her to see that merchants have the blue eyes of guests.
"The sisters praised it falsely, the businessmen are still young, and if there is something they don't understand, they have to ask the sisters to mention more! Where do you deserve such praise from your sisters? Shang Shang replied with a smile, these two girls entered the workshop when they were young, and they still had to ask them more about the many unwritten rules in Yunshui Fang.
"You are modest, come on, our own sisters, don't say these vain words, you have a lively brain, if you have any good ideas, don't forget that our sisters will do it." The brute said quickly on the side.
"No shame! Why do people and businessmen tell you! Which sister are you? The merchant has been here for so many days, but I have never seen you get close! Xiangnu looked at the barbarian with a smile, this brute girl, but it was not like words, everyone in the workshop kept a hand, where would it really be heartfelt?
"Sister Xiangnu, don't say that! Everyone is a poor person, and they should help each other, but if the barbarian sister doesn't say it, if the businessman has any new ideas, he has to say it to the sisters for details. "The merchant didn't care, people like Man'er are actually the best to get along with, simple and unguarded.
"Humph! It's just singing a little song and dancing a nondescript dance, what's there to be proud of? In the Oiran competition, it is not yet known who will kill the deer! Ruyi interjected coldly with a calm face, in fact, his heart was already cold, this businessman is so hidden, I am afraid that there is a backhand in the Oiran Competition, I thought that only the white peony was a strong opponent in the Oiran Competition, but unexpectedly, a businessman came out of thin air, I really don't know if God is joking with her, always making her fall short!
"Ignore her, she's red eyed you! Let's go for ourselves! She's here. Linglong stretched out his hand and pulled the incense slave, and then glanced at the merchant, signaling her to leave together, the merchant was not happy, seeing Linglong's eyes, he was so happy that he couldn't make a sound, and pulled the barbarian, and the four of them left the listening platform together, and put a ruyi aside, so angry that they fainted.
At this time, the whole Yunshuifang is as lively as the New Year, after watching the performance, the sons and gentlemen of the various families, are still unsatisfied, they have stayed in the workshop, found some girls to accompany them, listen to the music and drink flower wine, this night, the gold and silver of Yunshuifang income are only afraid to catch up with a month's income, and the merchants are also famous overnight because they got a reward of no less than a thousand taels of gold, which is the highest bounty that the girls in the workshop have ever received! Of course, this bounty naturally has the credit of Li Ke, the king of Wu, and the man who sat in the elegant seat and no one had seen him from beginning to end.
Finally scratched the head and finished this chapter.,Two men appeared in it.,Let's guess.,Which one is a male pig? Hee-hee-hee, I'm going to start playing the list tomorrow, I'm so nervous!
