Chapter 64: The Blue Mansion
"Situ Xuan tried in vain to assassinate the city lord of Li, and escaped after an attempt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The info academy already knows that you have been framed, and as long as you go back, you will still be the steward of Gayo. ā
He Xinyue's mouth is bitter, is this the end of it? She was almost humiliated in public, and she was in exile in Gayo City for many days, and the sentence "framed" was over?
"I ......," she sighed, and asked instead, "how did you end up in this Red South City?" You and the mountain gardenia ......"
"Yama Gardenia respects you, as soon as you left, he left Gayou, and I came with him. We originally wanted to come to Xiyin to make another living, but we didn't expect to meet you. "In your absence, he was worried about you. ā
"He is a person who doesn't have many eyes and is simple."
Yan Shan said: "What is good about being simple, it is because he is simple that he is often bullied." ā
He Xinyue looked at her with a smile: "If it weren't for this, what do you like about him?" Ken followed him, so far to the west. ā
Yan Shan stopped talking, and He Xinyue naturally wouldn't ask any more.
Shan Gardenia and Yan Shan now live in Hongnan City, and when they asked, they learned that they arrived on the same day as her, but they only met today. These two were cooks when they were in Jiayou, and they are still now, a cook and a cook, both working in a pastry workshop, and sometimes they also come out to set up a stall, but they both help the boss to do things.
He Xin rented a room in the inn, this is not Sangwu, so he doesn't have to be so trembling. However, she also explained to Shan Gardenia and Yan Shan that she didn't want to go back to Jiayou now, so in order not to get into unnecessary trouble, it was better to stay incognito.
The name He Xinyue can't be used, and Luo Yan can't even think about it.
"Or call it 'Yiren'!" Gardenia's eyes are shining, and he seems to be very enthusiastic about this kind of thing.
Yan Shan also said of him: "It's rare to see you so interested in things other than pastries. ā
"Wouldn't that be too squeamish?"
"How so?! You would--" he stopped, "I thought it was good anyway." ā
"Then listen to you," she said, "and you will call me an Iren henceforth." ā
It is not an easy errand to find a piece of the heart fragment of the Emerald Heart in the huge Hongnan City, and I don't know how long I will stay here, so He Xin has plans to stay here for a long time. Since this is the case, then you definitely need to find an errand, and you can't sit on a mountain and eat nothing.
On this day, Hongnan City, Blue Building.
"The second son of the Yang family bid two thousand, please Miss Dawn to make a zither music! To all of you. ā
"Miss Ma Jia's bid is 1,050, please Miss Hongling dance a song 'Feather Dress'! Please enjoy. ā
"There was a boy who offered 3,000 to buy an improvised painting of the son of Nanshan--ink Danqing-"
This blue building is a place for some rich and noble people to appreciate their arts, on the Star Stone Continent, among the six countries, the Xiyin Empire is famous for the country of wind and moon, and the current Queen Xiyin is because of a song "Qianzhang Aya" and let the Son of Heaven fall in love, and the holy favor has not faded for more than ten years.
He Xinyu listened to the performances of one geisha after another, put down the tea cup in his hand, and walked towards a room on the second floor.
"Manager Liu, this Miss He wants to see you, ...... you?"
Liu Beizhou glanced at the attendant who led the person in, and waved his hand: "You go down first." ā
"Yes!"
After the attendant retreated, Liu Beizhou looked at the girl holding a fat kitten, and then continued to do what he was doing. He Xin stood quietly for a long time before he heard this Manager Liu ask casually: "What kind of talents do girls have?" ā
"Actually...... I'm not here to perform," Ho said thoughtfully. Seeing that Manager Liu didn't look up at her, she had no choice but to continue: "I want to ask, is there a lack of a steward in the Blue Building?" ā
"Oh? This is the first time I've met someone who wants to be in charge from the moment I came. Does the girl want to sit in the position of decay? ā
She hurriedly bowed her head: "Don't dare, I'm just ......" In the two years she was in Jiayou, she only learned some chores from Liu Da Steward, and she only planned to take care of things, which was ashamed. "I just want to ask if there is a shortage of chores in this blue building. When I first came to Hongnan City, I just wanted to find an errand to make ends meet. I don't dare to say anything else, but what Mr. Liu has done, I have done. ā
Only then did Manager Liu raise his head and look at her: "The tone is not small. ā
She didn't answer. Manager Liu picked up a book, looked at it with sticky saliva, He Xinyue glanced at it secretly, this should be a book for keeping personnel records.
Just as he was flipping over like this, another attendant led a person up: "Manager Liu, this son is here to apply for a geisha." ā
Gongzi stepped forward and saluted to Mr. Liu: "I am surnamed Wang, I know a little bit about piano skills, and I also ask the chief manager to give me a chance to perform on stage." ā
This time, Manager Liu immediately looked at his whole body and nodded: "Those who dare to come to this blue building are all really talented and learned, I think Wang Gongzi has an extraordinary bearing, and he must also be a talented person, so I will show my hand and let the old man take a look." He glanced at one of the Tsing Yi attendants who had been standing next to him, and the Tsing Yi attendant walked out of the room in a knowing manner.
At this time, I happened to hear the exclamations outside, thinking that the Nanshan Prince's Danqing masterpiece had been completed. I heard the Tsing Yi attendant say in a loud voice: "Today, a prince has come to the Blue House to perform, please enjoy it and comment on his works." ā
After hearing this, Wang Gongzi arched his hand to Mr. Liu: "Can you borrow the Lanlou guqin?" ā
Liu Beizhou said to another Tsing Yi attendant next to him: "Take that mahogany guqin and give it to Wang Gongzi." ā
After a while, the attendant took a guqin with ancient red and black strings, and Wang Gongzi took the qin, hooked the strings with his little finger, and then put it on-
The timbre is pure, even He Xinyue, a layman, can hear it, this must be a good piano. Wang Gongzi praised: "Good piano!" Then he bowed to Mr. Liu and went out with the piano in his arms. After a while, the melodious sound of the piano sounded in the blue building.
"What do you think of this prince?"
He Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and Liu Beizhou continued: "How can you do things in the Blue Building, and you don't even have this little look at people? ā
He Xin smiled and said, "What kind of prince is this, it is clearly Miss Wang." Manager Liu motioned for her to continue, He Xin said, "The jade belt on her waist, one of which is a white jade from the sea of water, which is worth a lot of money, and the others are Loushan deer stone, green glaze, and Hanma stone, four each, a total of thirteen jade." This combination, commonly known as the 'Thirteen Lone Stars', is an ornament commonly worn by those mercenaries in the Warcraft Mountains to the east. They deal with spiritual gems all year round, and although this kind of jewelry is expensive, it is nothing to them, and it is more of a status symbol. ā
Liu Beizhou finally smiled, looked at her, and said, "You still know so much about these things." ā
"A little dabbling." She thought about it and said, "But Hongnan City is not on the route of mercenary activities, and it is strange to see people like them." ā
"Hey-" Liu Beizhou waved his hand, "You don't know this, there is a new cultivation sect on Lilong Mountain in the north of Hongnan City, although there are not many people, but the financial resources are abundant, these mercenaries should be in contact with them." ā
"Mr. Liu is also ...... about the matter of cultivation"
"Most of the rich and noble families who come here for recreation have something to do with cultivation, and they only say a few words from their ears, and over time they also know something."
He Xinyue nodded and didn't ask more. Mr. Liu told her to go back and wait, and come back in three days, if there is a vacant position, he will definitely keep it for her.
Not to mention how everyone in the audience tasted the song of the king "Gongzi", anyway, He Xinyue returned to the inn early.
Three days later, she went to the Blue Building again, and Manager Liu had already arranged an errand for her. So, she went to the Blue Building every morning to do things, and it was completed in the afternoon. In this way, she also found a place to rent.
This is a small courtyard, in addition to her, there are some natives of Hongnancheng who live here. There are two children in the family who are still tied up, and every time Gardenia and Yan Shan come to see her, half of the pastries they bring are eaten by these two children.
In her spare time, she would go around Hongnan City, but she never saw the shadow of the heart fragment of the Emerald Heart.
This is Hongnan City, and the life here is the life of ordinary people. The lively market here, the pedestrians coming and going on the street, the laughter of the children in the courtyard when they wake up every morning, and the music and dance of silk and bamboo in the blue building, all tell her that this is an ordinary person's world.
The longer she stayed here, the more she felt that those days in the Gayo Academy and the Gongxia Mountains were a distant dream. The comfortable life she once sought seemed to be glimpsed here.
