Volume I: Painting Hall Spring Chapter 31: Nosy in Meijinglou
Recently, there is a new singing class in Meijinglou, singing some poems written by literati and artists, which is also beautiful to listen to.
Qingxi sat and listened, and felt that the female voice was ethereal and moving, so she got up and walked to the railing on the second floor and looked down.
In the middle of the lobby on the first floor stood a young and lovely girl, whose figure was like flowing water, dancing lightly with a tactful voice. Behind him sat a young man, playing the stringed harp, and the girl looked back frequently, although her eyes were not real, Qingxi flashed a thought: "Looking at these two people, it is like made in heaven." ”
"How does the girl know? Maybe it's a brother and sister? Moon Shadow asked with a smile.
Qingxi thinks about it, and it is unknown whether the two of them are brother and sister. But she hoped that her guess was correct, and they were Lang You's mistress. She was surprised to find that the purest longing for the happiness of the two in her heart was this moment of looking at each other.
"Girl, I have a word here, please sing it." At some point, the three of them approached the stage.
The girl standing in the middle was dressed in an emerald green gown, and her figure was sassy, not like a weak little woman. The two standing behind him were tall and capable, with an inviolable face.
The little girl who sang took the note in her hand and looked at it carefully. The man behind him who was playing the strings also got up and came closer. After reading it, the little girl handed him the note, and the two looked at each other tacitly, and the little girl took back the note and approached the woman in green to hand back the note, and said embarrassedly: "This girl, your poems, the little girl can't sing them, I'm sorry." ”
"Why?" The woman in green asked lightly.
This poem is simple and easy to understand, and it is written with helpless sorrow. This kind of lyrics, the little woman does not sing. ”
Qingxi listened to her words, although she didn't understand what she meant, but she also admired in her heart that the lyricist who was very inconspicuous in the eyes of the world was by no means a vulgar person. Come to think of it, if you don't understand the meaning of the words, how can you sing a hundred turns and a thousand times.
"I'll double the tip." The woman in green replied expressionlessly.
The little girl shook her head apologetically.
"Don't you make any money?" The woman in red spoke in a flat tone, but her eyes were a little colder, she looked around, and continued: "Does this Meijinglou have a habit of refusing guests' requests? ”
At this time, the tea guests all heard the prestige, and the shopkeeper Hao of Meijinglou immediately walked through the aisle and stepped forward from the back hall to start a round: "Why don't you sit down and taste tea first, this thing about listening to music and nurturing is a mood, please don't be impatient." After speaking, he said to the guy behind him: "Don't bring seats to these three guest officers yet." ”
The green-shirted woman raised her hand lightly and said coldly: "No need! I just want to listen to music! Price is not an issue! With that, the man behind him took out his money bag and threw it on the table beside him.
At this time, the man who pulled the string stepped forward and said respectfully: "Girl, my sister and I once swore in front of our family teacher, and if we don't play or chant sad words, I hope you will forgive me." ”
It turned out to be the case, Qingxi thought to himself that this was also a strange request.
"What if this girl has to ask you to play and sing today?" The woman in green raised her head, with an expression that I just wanted to be strong.
Mei Jinglou was already talking about it at the moment, and the two men behind the woman in green were also alert. Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper Hao turned around and discussed with the young man and the girl in the singing class, but the two of them still looked firm.
"Girl, I'm so sorry, I beg your pardon for not being able to sing!" After the man finished speaking, he gave the girl a look, sat down again, and continued to play the strings.
The woman in green smiled faintly and said to the shopkeeper Hao: "Shopkeeper, I have seen the famous Meijinglou in Shangdu City today, and it is only the owner of the shopkeeper who bullies customers. If one day you encounter a customer who is not easy to bully and accidentally smashes your field, I don't feel resentful. ”
The two men behind the woman moved their arms, as if eager to try.
At this moment, only a clear voice was heard: "What a big breath, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are probably not many people in Shangdu who can smash other people's fields at will." I don't know the girl's name? Qingxi had already gone downstairs and walked towards the woman in green.
The woman looked back and looked at the two handsome young men in front of her walking towards her with a smile, squinting her eyes slightly.
Qingxi said with a smile: "Girl, Meijinglou is a place for everyone to drink tea and chat, this time you will affect my interest, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
A man and a woman in the singing group also stopped singing when they saw someone coming forward to relieve the siege. The other tea drinkers even started talking.
Qingxi continued: "Do unto others what you don't want to do to yourself, since this little brother has already explained his difficulties, why should the girl be aggressive. It's just listening to music, and if you don't sing it, you can change it. ”
After Qingxi finished speaking, the other tea guests also nodded their heads in agreement, and also had some slight comments about the woman in green.
Seeing this situation, the woman in green was quite calm, and said with a smile: "It seems that this Meijinglou is famous, I really have a little bit of competition today, if I want to listen here!" You're in charge of this idle business? ”
The two men behind him also cast a grim gaze at Qingxi, as if they were locked onto a target.
"Why, the girl still wants to teach me a lesson? It's not that I'm joking, I'm afraid you don't have that ability! Qingxi turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone is here to ask for an elegant and quiet place to talk about the world, this girl made a big fuss, in order to make herself happy and let everyone be disappointed, I'm afraid everyone will not follow it!" Then he turned to her again and said, "I've taken care of this idle business." Shang is at the feet of the Son of Heaven! No one is allowed to ignore the royal law and act recklessly! That's all for the next word, the girl weighs it herself! ”
At this time, the shopkeeper Hao also gathered dozens of shop mates behind him, and his momentum grew stronger, and he naturally spoke with more confidence: "This girl, we open the door to do business, and naturally hope to make a stable profit. If not, please forgive the girl and raise your hand. The other tea guests couldn't hold back at this time, and spoke one after another: "Don't stir up here, let's go!" "I say, don't disturb us, hurry up and choose another place!" "Let's go, let's go!"
The green-clothed woman's complexion did not change, she looked around unhurriedly, and her eyes fell on Qingxi again, her eyes seemed to have a look of understanding, and she immediately turned around and led the person behind her to stride out of Meijinglou.
Qingxi was a little puzzled, so he left? Looking at the girl's posture and aura, she didn't look like someone who would be so good at giving up, she was ready to fight with her again. Why did you just leave? This was really unexpected.
A storm subsided, and everyone said that they had gone to their own worlds and seas.
Shopkeeper Hao immediately stepped forward and smiled at Qingxi: "This prince seems to come to Meijinglou from time to time, and today's tea fee is free of charge in the shop!" ”
Qingxi stared at the moon shadow and smiled: "Then thank you for the shopkeeper!" ”
Shopkeeper Hao has read countless people, and now looking at these two such bright smiling faces, he is even more sure that these are two women. Speaking of which, Qingxi and Moon Shadow really come to Meijinglou from time to time, sometimes men's clothes, sometimes red-faced. And there are countless tea customers coming and going from the south to the north in this Meijing Building, if it weren't for today's trouble, I'm afraid it would be impossible for the shopkeeper Hao to notice them. However, the guests have seen too much, and their eyesight is naturally better, and he can know a thing or two about the outfits that others can't see. Shopkeeper Hao saw the clue and smiled: "In the future, the two sons will only come to make one sound, and the small shop should be properly arranged." ”
A man and a woman who sang the lyrics also stepped forward at this time, and the man spoke: "This son is righteous, and my sister and I thank you here." ”
Qingxi hurriedly waved his hand: "It's a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about, the son doesn't have to be polite!" ”
"Yu Gongzi is a trivial matter, but it may be a matter of life for us!" The man smiled heartily, and the junior sister next to him looked at her silently, with a delicate smile on her face.
Qingxi just glanced at it, and he could also see that his senior brother and sister were probably very affectionate.
"However, I am also very curious, why is the master not allowing you to sing the words of parting? This is also a novel statement! ”
"That's a long story! But it's also a personal reason. It's a little sorry for the young lady just now. The man was clearly reluctant to say more.
Qingxi was not reluctant, and she was not so interested in the story.
Moon Shadow stepped forward and gently tugged at her sleeve and said, "Young Master, we've been out for a while, it's time to go home!" ”
Qingxi nodded, and said to the shopkeeper and the men and women who were singing, "Then thank you for the generosity of the shopkeeper today." He will come back to listen to music and drink tea in the future! ”
Qingxi didn't know that at this moment, there were two people in the private room on the third floor of Meijing Building who were paying attention to every move downstairs, and after watching them leave Meijing Building, the two of them also walked to the window of the private room to look at their happy and light backs.
"Is she always like this?" Xiao Yizheng asked lightly.
Standing next to the sound was Ling Qingsong, who had been following Qingxi's footsteps, and didn't realize that someone was asking him, and when a scattered mind realized it, he hurriedly turned his head to look at him, but saw that the eyes of the person asking the question were still staring in that direction, and they hadn't shifted. He couldn't hear the question just now, so he could only ask, "What does Your Highness ask?" ”
"She's always so reckless!"
Qingsong smiled helplessly: "Qingxi, she has that chivalrous spirit, and sometimes she is quite willful, but she knows how to be proportionate, and rarely puts herself in a dangerous situation." ”
"Really? Not necessarily! ”
Xiao Yizheng waved his sleeve and pointed at it, Qingsong looked down, the woman in green and her two subordinates were following Qingxi and Moon Shadow, but Qingxi and Moon Shadow didn't know it, talking and laughing all the way.
"Your Highness!" Qingsong exclaimed, he was afraid that Qingxi would suffer. If Xiao Yizheng hadn't stopped him just now, he would have rushed downstairs to protect Qingxi!
Xiao Yizheng turned around and put down the purple sand cup in his hand, "Let's go!" ”
