Chapter Ninety-Three: The Fish
The seat where Xue Chengcai was sitting was only a few steps away from the little lady who was singing, and he touched his chin and kept staring at her.
I don't know if I'm waiting for the food to be served, or if I'm coveting the beauty of this little lady.
Tong Yan took another chopstick to roast goose meat and put it in her mouth, um~ This goose meat is so delicious!
She narrowed her eyes.
The little lady who sang the song couldn't help but be a little scared when she saw Xue Chengcai staring at her all the time, and her tactful voice tightened, but fortunately, she barely insisted on singing the last note.
Xue Chengcai stood up and applauded, "Okay! ”
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the sturdy little guy was like a roundworm in his stomach, and he quickly took out a heavy piece of gold from his sleeve and respectfully put it in Xue Chengcai's hand.
Xue Chengcai walked in front of the little lady, smiled brightly, put the gold in the palm of his hand, shook it in front of her eyes, and stretched his neck and said, "Little beauty, it's better to follow the master home, eat fragrant and drink spicy food, you don't have to come out to show your face in the future, just sing to me alone, okay?" ”
With such a heavy ingot of gold, ordinary farmers can't save so much money without eating or drinking for several years, and buying a maid is only a few dozen taels of silver at most, and Xue Chengcai is also quite generous.
But generosity is generosity, it also depends on whether people are willing to sell it!
The little lady timidly glanced at the old man who came with her, and whispered, "Thank you Gongzi for your love, but the little girl would rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine, please take back this gold." ”
Her voice was very quiet, and only Xue Chengcai, who was close, could hear it clearly.
Tong Yan muttered, "I don't know what this little lady said?" ”
"She said that she would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine." Cheng Huai smiled disappreciatively.
Tong Yan listened to his tone, turned her head to look at him, saw his disdainful expression, and said angrily, "What a backbone little lady, don't you think it's better to be a rich concubine than a poor wife?" ”
Cheng Huai shook his head with a smile, "It's just that I didn't catch the right fish, don't worry." ”
Tong Yan glanced at him, snorted coldly, and then looked downstairs, this Cheng Huai's ears were very pointed, and he could hear what this little lady was saying from so far away.
Xue Chengcai's smiling face immediately became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't eat soft and hard." "The words are already beginning to have an air of threat.
He was already very aggrieved in his heart, but now he can't even get his wish when he falls in love with a little singer? I heard that this new singer from 10,000 guests is very beautiful, but now that she looks at it, she is just mediocre, far worse than the little lady in Zhaoyang.
He can't touch Zhaoyang, can he still touch this little singer?
He directly turned his face and dragged the singer's wrist, which frightened the singer and quickly stood up, wanting to break free from Xue Chengcai.
The old man ran up in a panic, knelt in front of Xue Chengcai, and begged bitterly, "Let my daughter go, I am old and have a daughter, just such a child, her mother died early, we and our grandfathers depend on each other, and please let us go!" ”
"Who should I be, it turned out to be you Xue Chengcai, why did the son born to a concubine dare to be so arrogant?" A sharp female voice suddenly came from behind Xue Chengcai.
Xue Chengcai's face became even more gloomy, and he looked behind him with resentment in his eyes.
Tong Yan stood up excitedly and exclaimed in a low voice, "Is that Mingyi? ”
The woman was wearing a hat and couldn't see her face clearly, but listening to the tone and timbre, it really looked like Xu Mingyi's voice.
There was also a tall man behind her, who did not cover his face, it was Xu Yanzhi.
Seeing that the person who came was the prince of the Marquis of Linjiang, Xue Chengcai suddenly wilted, and now even if he is stupid, he understands his situation, he has lost the qualification to attack the lord, and he has no confidence to argue with these people.
He weakly let go of the hand holding the singer's thin wrist, and did not forget to glare at the singer with hatred.
The singer and the old man glanced at each other, and there was no look of relaxation and joy in their eyes, but some implicit anxiety.
Tong Yan couldn't see clearly, but Cheng Huai could see clearly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but deepen.
At this time, a tall man came, he was upright and prime, striding high, his eyes were bright, and when he saw that there seemed to be an unusual dispute in the hall, he frowned and shouted, "Why, dare someone make trouble at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" ”
When Xue Chengcai heard this shout, he shrunk his neck even more, and the person who looked at it obediently sat back in his seat.
There was a hint of joy in the eyes of the singer and the old man.
"This person is Xu Lingjie." Cheng Huai's voice came into Tong Yan's ears in a low voice.
Tong Yan glanced at Cheng Huai twice in surprise, and then looked at the lobby.
The singer cried, there were tears on her face, she threw herself at the old man, knelt on the ground, and cried sadly, "Daddy, it's all my fault that I'm a daughter's family, if it's a man, how can I let you suffer this kind of hardship, and make you old, and worry about whether anyone is bullying your daughter, woo-"
The crying is called a pear blossom with rain, which makes people feel distressed.
Xu Mingyi tugged on Xu Yanzhi's sleeve and said eagerly, "Brother, you can think of ideas quickly, help her!" ”
Xu Yanzhi couldn't bear it, he scratched his hair, but he couldn't help it, he wasn't a fairy, how could he turn this little lady who sang music into a man?
Xu Lingjie glanced at this side, ignored it, and directly beckoned a small servant to come over.
The singer shed tears and glanced at Xu Lingjie's side from time to time, her nose was slightly red, her eyes were full of tears and lifted her skirt, stood up, walked directly to Xu Lingjie's side, and said softly, "Thank you big brother for speaking upright, if it weren't for the eldest brother, the little woman would be afraid-" As she spoke, her eyes turned red again.
The person who practices martial arts is deaf and clear-sighted, and the words of this woman just now have reached his ears without dropping.
He glanced at the woman, his face loosened a little, and said kindly, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can such a thing happen?" The little lady sings here with peace of mind. ”
The singer smiled with tears in her eyes but gratefully, there was admiration, shyness and admiration in her eyes, her eyes were like hibiscus out of water, and she said coquettishly, "The little woman has nothing to repay, but she sings a song for her son and expresses her gratitude." ”
She saluted, glanced at Xu Lingjie with a smile, turned back to the small stage, picked up the pipa, and sang gently.
The glance was still ashamed, but Xu Lingjie was stunned for a moment, and watched the woman's slender jade hand pluck the strings.
Cheng Huai smiled slightly, "The fish has taken the bait." ”
"Fish on the hook?" Tong Yan glanced at him and frowned, "Isn't this festival a fish?" ”
Xu Ming glanced at the singer angrily, pulled Xu Yanzhi upstairs, and said indignantly, "Obviously I was the one who saw the injustice first and pulled out a knife to help, why did this singer go to thank that person, but instead put me aside, it's really hateful!" ”
