Coming out of the small courtyard where he stayed, Zhao Qingnian fiddled with the few broken pieces of silver in his palm, feeling worried.

It stands to reason that she should go and make money now.

Recalling the juggling she saw in Gangneung City, the strong man who performed the big stone on his chest, she fell into deep thought for a while.

When the alley came to an end, she couldn't think of any good way, and when she looked up, she saw a delicate attic, and she went around to the front and saw the sign of the attic.

Changle Fang.

Coincidentally, Gangneung City also has a Changle Workshop.

Standing outside the door, I could vaguely hear the faint sound of the piano inside, Zhao Qingnian had a flash of inspiration, he couldn't juggle, but he could play the piano!

She couldn't wait to step forward and ask the young man guarding the door: "Is there still anyone here?" ”

The man looked her up and down several times in amazement, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

Where? Of course, it's a piano playing workshop.

Zhao Qingnian has been cultivating in Cangshan since he was a child, not touching the world, not understanding the love between men and women, and now hearing the sound of the piano, he simply thought it was a music workshop, but he didn't know that in this world, there was a place like "Qinglou".

The man looked a little pity, but he still took out a bunch of keys and opened a side door next to him: "Come with me." ”

The interior of Changle Fang is luxuriously decorated, because it is daytime, the doors and windows are closed, only some daylight leaks from the gaps, and everywhere there is a loss and decay after a night of absurdity.

The man led her through the high platform in the center, came to a door and knocked on it, and said respectfully, "Aunt Hong, a new person is here." ”

A woman's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

The woman who looked a little haggard after removing her makeup sat on a chair drinking tea, she glanced at Zhao Qingnian casually, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

The woman put down the teacup, walked over and pulled Zhao Qingnian in and sat down, with a warm smile on her face, and poured her a cup of hot tea: "The girl drinks tea first." ”

After speaking, he pulled the man to the side and asked in a low voice, "Good boy, where did you find such a superb product?" The young man smiled: "Aunt Hong, this is when I was just guarding the door, she came to the door to ask herself." ”

When Aunt Hong heard this, she subconsciously looked at her, Zhao Qingnian was raising the teacup and preparing to drink it, when she saw Aunt Hong looking over, she smiled at her shallowly.

Aunt Hong hurriedly waved her hand to let the man go down, and sat next to her diligently, Zhao Qingnian had a rare worry between her eyebrows: "Is there still a shortage of people here?" ”

Aunt Hong had a kind smile on her face: "What is missing, something as good-looking as a girl is hard to find." ”

Zhao Qingnian breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment he heard Aunt Hong ask, "What will the girl do?" "I can play the piano."

can play the piano well, Aunt Hong smiled: "When is the girl going to pick up customers?" ”

Can you get started so soon? Zhao Qingnian was puzzled, and blurted out, "Why don't you try my level first?" ”

Rao is Aunt Hong, who has been in the Fengyue Field for a long time, and she was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "The girl is really unrestrained..."

Zhao Qingnian didn't know why, Aunt Hong only thought that she had picked up the treasure, and smiled on her face: "Since that's the case, then the girl will come over tonight, Aunt Hong will make sure to arrange it for you!" ”

"By the way, what's the girl's name?"

It's too embarrassing for her to come up with a name, Zhao Qingnian lowered her head and pondered, and caught a glimpse of her smoke-blue skirt embroidered with dark lines: "It's called Xiaoqing." ”

Aunt Hong was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sad expression, as if she had ruined some peerless treasure, she looked at Zhao Qingnian cautiously, and asked tentatively, "Is this really called it?" ”

Zhao Qingnian nodded, and Aunt Hong stopped talking, but she still responded.

asked about the opening time tonight, Zhao Qingnian got up and said goodbye, Aunt Hong looked at her eyes, like she was looking at a cash cow, which made her not like it.

At night, the front of Changle Fang is very lively, there is a bewitching woman standing at the door to solicit guests, the door is wide open, the lights are bright inside, and there is constantly an ambiguous joke between the guest and the woman.

Zhao Qingnian didn't know yet, she entered through the back door, and Aunt Hong, who had exquisite makeup, led her to the high stage: "Little green girl, you will play on it in a while, and Aunt Hong will arrange the rest of the things." ”

Zhao Qingnian nodded, there are so many people here, maybe there will be a lot of silver today.

Walking on the high platform, she came to a guqin, sat cross-legged, stretched out her hand to try the sound, then withdrew her hand, put it on her lap, and waited for the curtain to open.

She didn't have to wait long before a woman in a golden red dance dress walked up. She glanced at Zhao Qingxuan, and saw that she was dressed luxuriously, and although she only had a hosta in her hair, she did not look poor and sour, but had a kind of nobility in her quiet appearance.

This is the one Aunt Hong wants to hold? The woman thought to herself, and said something: "Hey, you play the piano, look at your poor and sour appearance, and you are a middle-aged lady?" ”

Zhao Qingnian ignored her, she didn't even bother to look up to see who this disrespectful woman was, she just stared at the piano and waited for the curtain to open.

The woman sneered disdainfully: "No matter how noble the eldest lady you were at the beginning, no matter how much Aunt Hong wants to praise you, it is not the same as us in the end." ”

Zhao Qingnian still ignored her, and the woman seemed to feel bored, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.

At this moment, the laughter outside intensified in vain, and the woman hurriedly posed, and Zhao Qingnian knew that it was going to start, so he covered his hand with the strings.

The sound of the piano poured out, the woman danced and flew, she pressed the strings with one hand, and gently brushed the strings with the other hand, the sound of the guqin was ethereal, as misty as the sound of the Nine Heavens Immortal, I don't know when there was less noise below, and the woman finished dancing, she also stopped her hands.

A song that amazed the four seats.

In the midst of the commotion, Aunt Hong stepped forward and lifted the curtain on the high platform, and said in a loud voice: "There is a new girl in our workshop today, named Xiaoqing, together with Miss Ayun." ”

"Everyone knows Miss Ayun, but our little green girl, she is the first time, so it's still the old rule, the one with the highest price wins!"

When the few sons and brothers below saw Zhao Qingnian, they were busy and began to shout: "Aunt Hong!" I'll give three thousand taels! Before the words fell, another person pushed back: "Mr. Qian is stingy, what is three thousand taels!" I'll give five thousand taels! ”

Seeing that the bidding began below, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, Aunt Hong smiled, but Zhao Qingnian, who was standing above, felt that something was wrong.

didn't have time to think about it, and Aunt Hong had already shouted: "Fifty thousand taels!" Peng Gongzi bid 50,000 taels of silver! ”

Seeing that no one responded anymore, Aunt Hong hurriedly asked someone to go down to make arrangements, and led Zhao Qingnian to a room.

There were red candles burning in the room, and the room was full of strange fragrances, Zhao Qingnian couldn't hold back, and asked Aunt Hong: "What happened just now?" ”

Aunt Hong's face was full of red light, and she took her hand: "Ouch, little green girl, you want to be happy!" Peng Gongzi's family has a great business, with your appearance, if he redeems the mansion, the days of wealth are waiting for you! ”

Zhao Qingnian frowned, and finally realized that she might have gone to the wrong place.

She shook off Aunt Hong's hand: "I'm not going to sell myself!" Aunt Hong's expression turned cold: "Girl, the silver has been collected, and besides, you came to the door first, whether this is sold or not, I can't help you." ”

She was anxious, raised her feet and left: "I don't want the silver!" The two guards at the door stretched out their hands to block the way ahead, and Aunt Hong walked leisurely behind her, holding a red candle in her hand.

She brought the red candle close to Zhao Qingnian: "Little green girl smells this, do you know what this is?" ”

Zhao Qingnian sniffed, the red candle was far away, and the fragrance seemed to be absent, but now when he got closer, he found that this thing was so fragrant.

She shook her head: "I don't know what it is. She still wanted to speak, but she felt her body go limp, and she held on to the door frame, and finally realized that something was wrong.

The candle flame danced, and Aunt Hong's smile was a little weird: "This smoke, the girl has smoked so much, now you can do whatever you can, and you have to give me an obedient pick-up today!" ”

The summer weather is unpredictable, and the night sky, which is still clear, is shrouded in clouds at the moment, dark clouds cover the moon, and the air is stuffy, and the dullness presses people's hearts, which makes people breathless.

In Zhang's Mansion, which is only one street away from here, the luxurious room is burning with soothing incense, and the middle-aged man who is not angry and arrogant has a heavy gaze, sitting in front of the bed, and a handsome young man is lying on the bed.

The young man was naturally the seventh prince Zhou Yu, who heroically rescued the driver two days ago, led away the killer alone, and escaped death and was rescued in one breath.

Zhou Yu woke up slowly, and when he saw the imperial brother sitting in front of the bed, he was startled, and hurriedly sat up to get out of bed and salute.

The emperor stretched out his hand to support him: "No need to be polite. Zhou Yu pretended to excuse himself, and lay back again: "Is the imperial brother injured?" ”

The man had a caring look on his face: "The emperor's brother is bravely escorted, and I am unscathed. Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay if the imperial brother is fine." ”

The emperor's eyes were full of worry: "The emperor's brother was seriously injured and unconscious, and this time he escaped from death, which is really dangerous, and he almost has no skills to return to heaven." ”

He paused, and asked as if puzzled, "Those assassins are so strong in martial arts, how did the imperial brother escape?"

Zhou Yu said in his heart, Brother Huang, is this suspected of me colluding with the assassins? He hurriedly said: "It's a shame to say that it was a woman from the rivers and lakes who saved her brother that night."

"Jianghu woman?"

"Yes, she is extremely strong in martial arts, and she killed all the assassins in two or three clicks."

"Jianghu people, and Jianghu people."

A group of killers who could enter and exit the well-guarded officials' mansions as if no one was around, but they were easily eliminated by a female streamer.

The rivers and lakes have never been constrained by the imperial court, and the chivalrous warriors rely on their martial arts to come and go freely, and in the name of eliminating harm for the people, they do everything they can to hinder the imperial court.

Since the birth of those so-called geniuses, the people of Jianghu have become more and more arrogant, and now they dare to assassinate officials in public, without taking the court in their eyes at all.

And that woman's martial arts are extremely high, she can easily get rid of the killer, and she can easily threaten him one day.

"Does the imperial brother know the identity of that woman?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "No, but my brother gave her a token and told her to come to the government if she has something." ”

The Emperor nodded and said no more.

When Zhou Yu saw this, he knew that his goal had been achieved, and he stopped talking quietly, letting him think quietly.

He knew his royal brother, who was suspicious by nature, and would rather kill by mistake than let go.

But coincidentally, he also arranged for someone to perform an assassination that night, so that Zhang Yuancheng died in front of the imperial brother.

But someone was one step ahead of him, who was the assassin that night?
