Chapter 49: Humiliation

Zhong Ziyuan didn't dare to go back to the Xianghe Pharmacy, because the shopkeeper there knew some of her details. However, she has a group of regular customers, and she does not worry about no income, so she carries a medicine box and walks through the Fengyue Hutong every day. Fortunately, the old bustards, girls, and even thugs in that alley, the turtle-males all respect her very much, and they are also very generous. After a month, she actually made a lot of money.

That night, she took cardamom to the Plum Fragrance Pavilion again. At this moment, the lights in the pavilion are brilliant, the voices are boiling, and the laughter is endless. The lobby of this Meixiang Pavilion is two stories high, and in the middle is a huge curved stage, on which several dancing girls are dancing gracefully.

The table under the stage was already full, and there were many prostitutes dressed in red and green, gold and silver, dressed in enchanting, beautiful, or charming. Or flirt with familiar guests, or pull young guests to be coquettish, or push cups and change lamps with the bold guests

Zhong Ziyuan was so ashamed when she saw such a situation for the first time, but now she can turn a blind eye and be like no one else. Yinniang's eyes lit up when she saw her coming in, and she hurriedly stepped forward and complained in a low voice: "Why did Doctor Jia come at this time?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's really because there is something important at home, so it's delayed." ”

"Forget it, forget it, come with me." Yinniang just said it in passing, not because she wanted to complain. She also knew that except for this Doctor Jia, there would be no one in the city who would be so patient and wholeheartedly help them, the girls of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, to heal their illnesses.

Zhong Ziyuan followed behind Yinniang, carefully avoiding those lust-lust-smoked guests. Came to the back of the stage. Inside, there was a group of dancing girls around a girl who was half-lying on a spring bench, talking nonsense. Seeing this, Yinniang glared and shouted, "You little girlies." What are you doing here? The meeting is about to come to the stage, so don't hurry up and prepare. ”

"Yes." The dancing girls were startled, like a cat and mouse, bowed their heads and saluted, and immediately ran away. The only one left was this gorgeous girl wearing a red dance dress, revealing a snow-white waist.

When the woman saw the arrival of the hidden mother, she struggled to get up. Yin Niang hurriedly stepped forward and pressed her. Then he said with a distressed face: "Okay, Miao Miao, don't move." If it aggravates the injury, how can you get it? ”

Miao Miao froze suddenly, she honestly lay back on the spring bench and didn't dare to move again. Only then did Yin Niang say to Zhong Ziyuan: "Miao Miao is the chief dancer, they spent two months arranging this flying dance, and today is the first time to officially meet the guests. The words have already been released. will attract so many regular customers. If you can't jump tonight. I'm afraid that those guests outside will smash our Meixiang Pavilion. But this stupid child sprained her waist when she practiced dancing in the afternoon, and she resisted and didn't make a sound. No, now that she is about to play, she realizes that she can't bend her waist. Doctor Jia, you have to help me think of a way. ”

Zhong Ziyuan waited for her to finish chattering before she spoke: "Don't worry, Yinniang, you go out to appease the guests first, and I'll figure out a way here." ”

"Alas. I can't say that I have to ask everyone Ye to come out and sing a few songs first to suppress the field. Dr. Jia. I'll leave it to you here. After Yinniang finished explaining, she left in a hurry.

Zhong Ziyuan said to Miao Miao gently: "Miss Miao Miao, can you turn over and let me see the affected area?" ”

Facing Zhong Ziyuan's handsome face, he inquired gently. Miao Miao's cheeks instantly turned red, she nodded shyly, turned around with difficulty, and lay on the spring bench. She reached out and stroked and pressed Miao Miao's slender waist, and she could obviously feel that Miao Miao's subcutaneous muscles were a little swollen and hard, and the naked eye could see that there was a large area of blood under the skin.

Zhong Ziyuan explained to Cardamom: "First go to the basin of cold water, and twist the handkerchief to help Miss Miao Miao put it on." ”

"Yes." Cardamom agreed, and turned to leave.

Miao Miao suddenly said, "Wait first." ”

Zhong Ziyuan asked strangely, "Miss Miao Miao, is there anything else that is uncomfortable?" ”

Miao Miao shook her head first, and she bit her lip. raised his little face to look at Zhong Ziyuan, and asked hopefully, "Doctor Jia, can you let me put that handkerchief on it first?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said honestly: "No, take a cool cloth and apply it, it's just that your affected area will not continue to swell and bleed." ”

Miao Miao was in a hurry, she reached out and grabbed the hem of Zhong Ziyuan's robe, and said anxiously: "Jia Taifu, the top priority is to let me stop my back pain, and I will be able to dance this Flying Immortal Dance smoothly." These slow and roundabout treatments are not what I need. ”

Zhong Ziyuan patted her hand and comforted her gently: "Don't worry, Yinniang's words, I listened to it." After you have applied a cold compress, I will help you apply needles to seal a few acupuncture points and temporarily stop the pain. However, the consequences of such a forced pain relief will make you unable to get out of bed for a month, do you understand? ”

Miao Miao shrank slightly, she opened her round eyes like cats, and asked a little timidly, "Will that affect my dancing in the future?" "If a dancer can't dance, it means terrible consequences for her.

Zhong Ziyuan also understood that they couldn't help themselves, and she said comfortingly: "Don't worry, as long as you have a good life and will raise it for two or three months, it will still have no effect." ”

"That's good, that's good." Miao Miao patted her chest and said happily. Zhong Ziyuan looked at her with a smile, she suddenly half-hung her head, and her eyes swept over Zhong Ziyuan's body quickly. Gu Pan was actually affectionate. She said in a low and shy voice, "Doctor Jia, you are so good." Zhong Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly.

Just when Miao Miao was doing a cold compress, Ye Meisu really held a piano and followed behind Yin Niang.

She wore a pink crepe robe embroidered with peach blossoms and a crescent phoenix skirt. Holding a low bun, a few pearl and jasper hairpins are inserted diagonally, and a pair of small pearl pendants are also swaying in his ears. The whole person is like the blooming peach blossom, slim, elegant and refined, without a little kitsch.

As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of the audience. Everyone knows that this Oiran Ye Meisu is the forbidden belly of Prince Rui. On weekdays, even if you spend money, you can't see the real face. Most of the guests who came here today actually came for the flying fairy dance. Unexpectedly, when I was impatient, there was such a surprise. There was silence for a while. Immediately there was a lot of noise.

Under the hot gaze of everyone, she raised her hand, and immediately someone moved a table and an embroidered pier. Ye Mei Su Wan'er smiled, everyone was stupid, she was blessed, and said in a manly voice: "The concubine is not talented, and I will present a song for all the guest officers." ”

Thunderous applause immediately rang out from below. Ye Meisu smiled shyly and timidly again. She sat down on the embroidery pier gracefully, relaxed her hands, and began to play.

When the sound of the piano is wafting. The whole lobby was silent, and the laughter, drinking, and flirting all came to an abrupt end. Everyone was fascinated by the wonderful sound of the piano. Zhong Ziyuan, who was helping Miao Miao with needles in the background. frowned slightly, and said strangely: "This piano sound is good, but it is too particular about technique and lacks natural emotions." Why is it still so touted? ”

Miao Miao said lightly: "Because everyone in the world pays attention to skin appearance, who made Miss Ye have a peerless appearance, and her piano skills are indeed outstanding." In this way, who will pay attention to whether her piano sound is infused with emotion. ”

Zhong Ziyuan shook her head and said: "The emotions in the piano sound are naturally revealed, and she herself is ruthless. Naturally, there will be no emotion in the sound of the piano. ”

Miao Miao suddenly smiled and said, "So so. Dr. Jia must also be a master of music. ”

"Me?" Zhong Ziyuan shook her head amusedly: "In my life, I can only play the piano to the cow." "Hehe," Miao Miao covered her mouth and laughed.

At this time, another group of people came in from the gate, but everyone was intoxicated by Ye Meisu's beautiful piano sound, and no one cared. The people weren't noisy, they just sat down at random.

Ye Meisu played three tunes in a row, and estimated that the guests at the scene had almost calmed her, so she slowly hooked out the last syllable, and then pressed on the strings to stop the sound. The audience immediately burst into applause and slaps.

Ye Mei Su Yingying smiled, she stood up and just wanted to salute, and then exited perfectly, when she heard an arrogant and rude voice, which clearly came out of the crowd: "Is there really no one in this Chang'an City?" is such an ugly monster, and he plays so ugly, he is simply torturing the ears of this son, and there are so many applause. Are they all blind and deaf? ”

These words were tantamount to offending all the guests in the room, and everyone was in an uproar, and some of the hot-tempered ones immediately shouted and scolded, and looked around, trying to find out who was talking wildly. However, there were too many people at the scene, and no one had found the whereabouts of the culprit for a while.

Ye Meisu had never been so humiliated in person, she blushed to her neck, bit her lip, her watery eyes widened, and she looked into the crowd, but only saw a crowd of people. So she cried softly: "The concubine's posture is not outstanding, but the concubine's piano skills have been practiced for twelve years." The gentleman's words, the concubine did not dare to agree, and asked the gentleman to stand up. "She's challenging the man who speaks wildly.

"Xue Ji, go up and let this group of earth buns see what the real sound of heaven is." The arrogant voice sounded again.

"Yes." A crisp, ethereal voice replied, and someone stood up with the piano in his arms. This time, everyone finally found out who this crazy talker was.

I saw six people sitting in the inconspicuous corner tower under the stage. Although they are all dressed as luxurious and delicate men, as long as they have eyes, they will recognize that five of them are women, and they are all stunning beauties with their own characteristics, not inferior to Ye Meisu. But these beauties can no longer attract everyone's attention, because the vast majority of people's eyes are focused on one person.

The man was dressed in a moon-white robe, with a pair of clogs dragging on his feet, and his neckline was slightly open, revealing his snow-white and delicate collarbones. The whole person is full of decadence and extravagance. His waterfall-like black hair was not tied up, but casually draped over his shoulders. And his appearance is like a dream, the slightly raised phoenix eyes, the high bridge of the nose, and the thin red lips all reveal a kind of bewitching beauty to the extreme. His smile is so seductive, and his beauty is so delicate that it is difficult to distinguish between male and female. He is Zhu Fei, the son of the King of Shu, but unfortunately no one present knows him.

Countless people looked at him in distraction, and even Ye Meisu almost lost his mind. She obviously showed a little shame to Zhu Fei, bowed to him, and said in a soft voice: "Concubine Ye Meisu, I don't know the name of the son?" At this point, the flush on her face deepened a little. But this time it's not angry, it's shy.

Zhu Fei shook the crystal cup in his hand, smiled contemptuously, and said with disdain: "It turns out that you ugly monster is the Oiran, it's really better to be famous than to meet." Even the piano skills are mediocre, I really don't know what Zhu Yi's kid likes about you. ”

He once again said that Ye Meisu was ugly, and this time no one felt wrong. Because with his stunning appearance, this Ye Meisu and his ilk have become ugly!

Ye Meisu showed a touch of embarrassment on her face, but she was nervous in her heart. It's just that after thinking about it, she found in despair that the scheming methods of the past didn't seem to be useful on such occasions.

Na Xue Ji was wearing a golden wide-sleeved brocade robe, with a white jade crown tied to her head, and in the stunned gaze of everyone, like a weak wind blowing willows, she twisted her slender waist and went to the stage. With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she didn't speak, she just waved the sleeve of her robe lightly, and the piano that Ye Meisu put on the table actually flew out like this, and with a "pop", it was smashed into pieces.

Ye Meisu's eyes widened, stared at Xue Ji vigilantly, and said delicately but righteously: "We have no grievances in the past, and no enemies in the near future, why do you want to bully me so much?" With a hint of stubborn fragility on her face, she looked innocent and cute, and sure enough, she regained a lot of attention. Immediately there was a clamor in the audience.

Xue Ji didn't say anything, she slowly put the piano in her arms on the table. With a flick of his hand, he emitted a series of crisp and pleasant tones, and then said with a smile: "Since everyone Ye has been obsessed with piano skills for twelve years, he must have a certain amount of knowledge, can you know the origin of the concubine's piano?" ”

Xue Ji's words had a deep meaning, Ye Meisu frowned slightly, and had to move the lotus step forward to watch it carefully. I saw that this piano was black all over, faintly tinged with green, like green vines wrapped around ancient trees. Ye Meisu suddenly remembered the records she had seen in ancient books, and she was shocked and said, "This qin, could it be Luyi?" ”

"What? This piano is actually a green yi, I heard it right, right? ”

"I really didn't expect that in her lifetime, the concubine would have the opportunity to meet Lu Yi, one of the top ten famous pianos in ancient times."

"It's said that it's an ancient famous piano, how can it be so easy to appear? It can't be fake, right? ”

"Yes, this piano is one of the top ten famous pianos in ancient times." In the midst of the discussion, Yukihime laughed and quickly plucked the strings with her bare hands. A burst of smart and light piano sounds came out, the cheerful rhythm, the beating notes, as if a lark relieving worries, chirping at everyone. Let the listeners feel happy and have the urge to sing together.

As long as you have a little rhythm at the scene, you can hear it, and this Xue Ji's piano skills are really above Ye Meisu.

Ye Meisu's face turned iron-blue, she had never been so disgraced after being famous for so many years. Her proudest appearance can't compete with others, and now she can't compete with others after 12 years of hard practice. It turned out that he came out to perform skills, but he just wanted to save the scene because of his feelings. Now that she has been disgraced by these inexplicable people, she can't help but secretly bite a mouthful of silver teeth.

But after the Xue Ji finished the song, she said casually again: "The concubine accidentally smashed the Ye family's piano before, and this Lu Qi is regarded as an apology, how about giving it to the Ye family?" If she had been more sincere in admitting her mistakes, or more humble, Ye Meisu would have accepted it gladly.

After all, although her original piano was also cast by a famous teacher, it was hard to find, but it could never be compared with this famous piano for the ages. It would be too insulting to let her accept Xue Ji's gift in front of everyone. But if she wants to give up, she is also unwilling. Ye Meisu was in a dilemma for a while, and actually froze in place.

Seeing that Ye Meisu was speechless for a long time, the corners of Xue Ji's mouth raised slightly, and she said with a hint of pride: "Do you think that the concubine's compensation is not rich enough?" In this case, the concubine simply smashed it, and the right to be a gift! After speaking, with a wave of the sleeves of her robe, the ancient famous piano green rose in the air, tumbling and smashing to the ground, and the audience suddenly resounded with an exclamation.
