Chapter 121: Making Up for the Fault
Qingzhou also stood up and dissuaded: "Mengtang, this is indeed too risky. Su Mengtang said: "Brother Qingzhou, Coral knows our details, and also knows the location of my mountain villa, I am afraid that these have already reached Shi Miyuan's ears." I need to know what Coral and Shi Miyuan are planning, and everyone can have a response. ”
Although Zhao Qingzhou knew that what Su Mengtang said was reasonable, he didn't worry that she would go to investigate alone, after all, there were Shi Miyuan and Coral in Wanzhou Pavilion, which was no different from Longtan Tiger's Den. But Su Mengtang looked like he was putting life and death out of the way, and he was already asking Qingxue about the rules here.
Qingxue hesitated a little at first, but when she saw Su Mengtang's repeated insistence, she relieved herself and told Su Mengtang about all kinds of things after entering the guest room. It turns out that the piano girl in this sheng song place, in addition to playing the piano and offering music to the guests, also needs to pour tea and wine, and even when the guests want them to have fun, they also need to accompany them to drink a few cups.
Listening to Qingxue's description, Zhao Qingzhou's brows were already deeply locked together. He knew that Su Mengtang had always been noble and arrogant, and he didn't want his sworn sister with a different surname to suffer such grievances. For a moment, he even thought about how good it would be if he could put on makeup to take this risk for Su Mengtang.
But he is well aware of his limitations: after all, a nine-foot-long piano girl with blue cheeks and sword eyebrows is too uncommon, and it is estimated that she will be exposed in a short time. He continued to listen to the conversation between Su Mengtang and Qingxue, and a little sympathy for Qingxue gradually rose in his heart: it turned out that even a restaurant like Wanghailou, which looked clean and regular, would secretly have these things.
Although Qingxue and the others seem to be just using their piano skills in exchange for some payment. But as long as there are rules in a shop that allow the piano girls to meet the requirements and preferences of customers, then they will inevitably be subjected to some difficulties and humiliation. Zhao Qingzhou suddenly understood why Qingxue didn't have the courage to walk out of the Four Seasons Pavilion after hearing that the person she had offended was next door. She must have experienced such pain to be so afraid.
Listening to Qingxue's description, Bihu was already anxious, she interrupted the two of them, and said to Su Mengtang: "How do you do such a thing of serving people, girl." Su Mengtang hurriedly made a look with her, signaling Bihu not to distinguish between high and low in front of Qingxue. Bihu knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize.
Su Mengtang continued to say to Qingxue: "When they finish this meal, I can come out, is that so?" Qingxue nodded and said: "It stands to reason that this is the case, but if the guests are not released, it is no problem, you must continue to play and sing inside, and hold tea and water with your eyes." Bihu felt that his heart was burning: these things, he still felt out of shape, let alone Su Mengtang, who had been dignified and dignified since childhood?
Su Mengtang didn't seem to be worried about his situation later, but still smiled and said to Qingxue: "Then without further ado, let's go behind the screen over there and change our clothes." Qingxue nodded and walked over first. Bihu grabbed Su Mengtang and said, "Girl, let me go." Su Mengtang didn't expect her to say this, but Bihu was worried, so he comforted: "No, don't worry, it's really not good, I'll find an excuse to come out." ”
Bihu still pulled Su Mengtang and refused to let her take a step forward, tears gradually appeared in her eyes and said: "I must not watch the girl go to such a dangerous place, if there is a mistake, I will never forgive myself." Su Mengtang looked at the tears in Bihu's eyes, and he was also a little moved, and said: "It's okay, Bihu, I know you are a good girl, but for such a thing, I can't exchange your life for my own life." ”
"I caused it, girl, if I hadn't left early that day, Coral wouldn't have been taken so easily." Bihu suddenly knelt on the ground, and tears flowed out in big eyes. Tong Ning'er and Zhao Qingzhou hurriedly came up from behind, wanting to help her up with Su Mengtang, but Bihu was determined to kneel on the ground, and only grabbed the corner of Su Mengtang and continued:
"For committing such a thing, the girl has not blamed me for a heavy word, nor has she lost half of her trust in me, Bihu has vowed to make up for it, girl. I entered the villa at the age of thirteen, and I could not repay the kindness of the lord and the girl to me over the years, so I only begged the girl to do this thing, and begged the girl to fulfill it. After she said this, she actually bowed to Su Mengtang, and no one could pull it up.
Su Mengtang heard Bihu mention her father, and suddenly thought of her father's kindness to the villa when he was alive, and her heart also became sad, she squatted down, stroked Bihu's shoulder and said: "Good girl, it's not that I refuse to fulfill you, but none of us know what will happen if you go, I can't watch you take risks." ”
Bihu raised a pair of teary eyes when she heard this, and argued with Su Mengtang: "Coral really saw the girl, but I was only guarding outside the Art of War Hall at that time, and I didn't meet her, and when she fled, I happened to be not there." Since we haven't met, it's safest for me to go. Besides, for such things as serving tea and pouring wine, where is the girl used to doing, once it is seen that she is rusty and suspicious, the girl will be in great danger, and when the time comes, how can we kill and rescue the girl. ”
This passage is full of evidence, and Su Mengtang didn't know how to dismiss it for a while. Tong Ning'er and Zhao Qingzhou both knew that it was difficult for outsiders to participate, after all, if any party was promoted, they would send people to the fire pit, so they only watched sadly and silently as Su Mengtang and Bihu argued.
Bihu saw that no one spoke for a while, so he continued: "This matter, it is most appropriate for me to go, the girl forgot, my piano was still plucked by the girl herself." Moreover, the girl also has to think about the little master, if something happens to the girl, what will the little master be sad about. Even if we take good care of him in the future, who can compare to the girl's heart for Young Master March? ”
Among the reasons why Ximen March is Bihu, the one that touched Su Mengtang the most, she couldn't make up her mind for a while. At that moment, there were some footsteps in the hallway. Qingxue heard the sound, poked her head out from behind the screen and said, "It's time to serve, it's too late if you don't leave." If you don't go, I'll go. ”
Bihu hurriedly wiped his tears, got up and walked briskly behind the screen, and said, "I'll go over immediately." Su Mengtang wanted to step forward to stop Bihu, but Qingxue said: "Miss Su, I think it's better for this Bihu girl to pour, pour wine and tea, these things seem to be very small, but they are also exquisite, you don't look like people who can do this." ”
Su Mengtang was powerless to refute, so he just stopped there, Qingxue put on the gown that Bihu had just changed, and walked out and said, "Quick, take rouge and goose yellow." Tong Ning'er subconsciously responded, ran to grab all her rouge gouache, and handed it to Qingxue. Bihu was still wearing the skirt on her body, and Qingxue had already painted her makeup with her hands and feet.
Fortunately, Tong Ning'er's fat powder is extremely high-quality, so the color is very fast, and with a slight sweep, it will fall into an even and moist color. In order to cover Bihu's slightly red and swollen eye sockets, Qingxue also mixed red jade paste with Xuedan, gently opened it in the palm of her hand, dipped it with her fingers, and dotted it around Bihu's eye sockets.
When Bihu came out from behind the screen, everyone was slightly amazed: painted with goose yellow and rouge similar to Qingxue, Bihu looked very different from Su Ri, I can't say whether it was more beautiful, or if she could have been so beautiful and moving. Bihu picked up Qingxue's piano, walked to Su Mengtang, saluted, and then walked quickly to the door and opened the door.
