Chapter 18: Jade Springs (3)
Lu San walked briskly through the wine table in the hall and the soup pool between the curtain screens, hurried to the second floor, and was dragged behind the stone pillar by the burly man he had just seen at the corner of the corridor. The big man was dressed in a tight-fitting dark green robe, his appearance was handsome and with a hint of intimidation, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeply folded, looking very vicissitudes.
This person is the second shopkeeper of Yuquanfang, Yao Xihua. He rarely appeared in the Jade Spring Workshop, but recently, there were many new faces in Dragon City, and he had to walk from behind the scenes to the front of the hall.
Seeing the middle-aged man on the road, Lu San was extremely awe-struck, he half-bowed and said urgently, "Shopkeeper Yao, when did you come back?" ”
Yao Xihua stood behind the stone pillar, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that there were a few men missing from Huang Fujia's table, and he asked vigilantly, "Who are they?" ”
"Little one doesn't know," Lu San hurriedly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, lowered his head, and looked nervous.
Yao Xihua pinched Lu San's left shoulder with his right hand, his five fingers sank deep into his robe, and said coldly, "Are you tired of being alive?" ”
"I really don't know, little one" Lu San hurriedly knelt on the ground, his shoulders kept trembling, and the whole person couldn't cry.
Yao Xihua picked him up, looked at Lu San's crying face, sighed, and softened his tone, "Then what did they say to you?" ”
"They just asked if there was anything special about our Yuquanfang two nights ago." Lu San hurriedly told Yao Xihua everything he knew, just hoping to get rid of this terrible second shopkeeper as soon as possible.
"Okay, you can step down" Yao Xihua stood quietly behind the stone pillar and waved his hand to him.
Suddenly, the hall of Yuquanfang was quiet, and in the lotus water pavilion in the middle of the hall, an attic slowly rose from the ground, and a refreshing piano sound swept out of the attic, and everyone listening was fascinated. The guests lying in the soup pool were dressed in white cloth and quietly enjoyed the delicate snow fingers of the maid beside them.
At the beginning of every time Yuquanfang, there is a master pianist to present a song for everyone, which makes the guests present feel relaxed and comfortable, and even some people want to see the style of the pianist at a high price, but they are all turned away.
"The sound of the Lotus Shadow Girl's piano is really reluctant"
"How much is the Lotus Shadow girl, the old man is out! I just ask the girl to play more songs, and it is not in vain that I came to this Yuquanfang early this morning to wait. ”
"Sounds good... Good... I just don't know what the girl looks like? ”
"How do you speak, the sound of the lotus shadow girl's piano is so beautiful, how can you be touched by a layman!"
"Stop arguing, everyone, and enjoy quietly. Miss Lotus Shadow will play one more song for you today. At the parapet next to the attic in the middle of the hall, a white-haired man of medium stature, dressed in a red robe, bowed and apologized to the surrounding ponds. Although the man was only forty years old, his white hair was draped around his waist, and his black eyebrows were impressive, and for some reason, there was no wrinkle at the corners of his eyes and mouth, and he looked full of energy.
"That's great!" Everyone was in the soup pool, applauding and celebrating, and a smile of surprise appeared on the corner of their mouths.
At this moment, Huang Fujia had been staring at the stone pillar on the second floor, until a piano sound sounded in the attic, and suddenly shook himself, so he unconsciously shook his head, and when he looked at the stone pillar again, he saw a figure flash and disappear at the corner of the corridor.
He shook his head helplessly, and moved his gaze to the attic that suddenly came out of the ground, and the middle-aged man in the red robe, and suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from the main entrance.
Suddenly, a young swordsman leaped over the screen at the main entrance of the Jade Spring Place, stepped on the jade spring water on the soup pool like a breeze, and swept the tulle screen between the soup pools and fell straight above the attic.
"I have long heard that the Lotus Shadow girl in Yuquanfang in Dragon City is unparalleled, and today my son is teaching and teaching."
The boy was in his early twenties, with a thin build, eyes as clear as water, and a handsome face. He was wearing an ink-colored robe, and held a three-foot long sword in his hand, and a hollowed-out relief ink unicorn was faintly visible on the hilt. The whole person sat cross-legged on the wooden shingles in the attic, listening to the intermittent sound of the piano affectionately.
"You stinky boy, you don't know how thick the sky is, you dare to trespass on Yuquanfang!" The man in the red robe walked out of the guardrail of the attic, looked up at the young man above the attic, and said coldly.
"Am I talking to you? Shut up! The ink-robed young man snorted coldly, and actually lay directly on the top of the attic, chuckling, "Is Lotus Shadow looking down on you?" ”
Huang Fujia, who was sitting on the side, noticed a black unicorn jade pendant tied around the young man's waist, and he nodded to the shadow guards in the shadows, signaling them to take advantage of the chaos to continue looking for clues.
The four shadow guards, taking advantage of the young man's dispute with everyone in the hall, sneaked into the various wings of Yuquanfang along the eaves in the corridor to find out.
"Dare to ask what Childe is called?" Lotus Shadow, who was sitting on the piano platform, whispered softly, her thin hand like condensed fat on the piano, and the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.
Everyone lying in the soup pool pointed to the young man on the roof of the attic, disturbing their Yaxing, and all kinds of foul words sprayed at the young man.
"Under the Sword and the Moon" The ink-robed young man sat up, and gently shook his palm to the left and right, and the curtain screen of the soup pool closest to the attic was directly split in two, he nodded lightly, and said in a low voice.
"You... You... You! In the soup pool where the screen was split, a rich man was holding a young woman in the jade spring water, and his face was so frightened that his face turned blue, and the woman hurriedly picked up the brocade robe from the edge of the pool to cover her upper body, and hid behind the man, and the two looked nervously in the direction of the attic.
"Yo... Yo... Yo... In this broad daylight, you can't wait, it's here..."Before Jian Shenyue could finish speaking, the man in the red robe jumped up to the roof of the attic and dragged him down.
"You dare to break the rules of our Yuquanfang," I saw the young man standing straight next to the soup pool, glancing at the pair of men and women on the left, and the strange man in front of him on the right, so angry that the man in the red robe was about to wave his hand and throw him to the ground.
"Wait." Before he could make a move, he was stopped by the lotus shadow on the piano platform.
"Miss, this kid is here to find fault"
"How is this possible, I just came here to listen to the sound of the Lotus Shadow Girl."
"Uncle Liu, let the Moon Boy come in." Lotus Shadow waved her right hand slightly, and the two maids on the east side of the attic lifted the curtain to greet the sword and the moon. This scene surprised everyone present, they never imagined that this method could actually get a glimpse of the Lotus Shadow Girl's face.
Jian Mingyue straightened his robe, walked quickly to the east of the attic, held the long sword in his hand in his right hand and arched his hand into the attic, and then slowly walked into the attic, when he just walked into the attic, he only heard a "boom", and the entire attic fell into the ground. The attic was made of vermilion lacquered sandalwood planks piled up one by one.
Seeing everyone's stunned mouth wide open, Lu San appeared out of nowhere, hurriedly beckoned the girls to take care of the guests, and ordered the little maid in the hall to replace the broken screen.
