Chapter 128: A song throws a lot of money, and his reputation rises
Mother Wu of Tianxianglou recently found that there were not as many guests as before, and she wondered in her heart, who else in this Guangling City could compete with besides Chunyue Tower, but the girls in Chunyue Lou still looked like they were talented, and they were not as good as the girls in their family, and even the dignitaries in the city preferred to come to Tianxianglou.
Wu's mother pulled a regular visitor and asked the reason, only to hear that Chunyuelou didn't know when, a Qing Qi'er came, played the piano well, it is said that someone spent a lot of money just to listen to her play a song, and the dignitaries of Guangling City also went to her.
At this time, in the Chunyue Building, the voices were boiling, and some people shouted, "Quickly call Miss Mo out," many people responded, and Mother Xu comforted, "Miss Mo will come soon, please don't be impatient", but her voice was immediately covered by the noise, Mother Xu had never seen such a scene in the Spring Moon Building, even if it was the day when the warbler combed it was not half of it, seeing that Miss Mo didn't come out again, the guests were going to go to the room to uncover the tiles, Mother Xu was full of sweat, and the rouge on her face was spent, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped it gently, and frowned and said to the girl next to her, " Why don't you go and call Mo Nian out! ”
The cold piano sound sounded suddenly, and the two women on the stage opened the curtain, and a girl covered with white gauze sat in the center of the stage, she was wearing a white mopping cigarette cage dress, without any decoration on her head, such as waterfall long hair only with ribbons of the same color on both sides, hanging down on the waist, but the more simple the appearance, the more she was beautiful, Chu Chu moving, standing out among the women who were purple and red, like an ethereal fairy.
When the girl plucked the strings, she revealed a pair of slender wrists that were snow-white like lotus roots, and the peerless piano sound flowed out from under the graceful Qianqian's ten fingers, and the slow playing was tear-jerking like the sound of geese, and the rush was like flowing water gurgling homesickness, sometimes tactful, sometimes pitiful, evoking the lovesickness in the heart.
Murphy's body and mind are trapped in this song, and his mind comes to mind since her apprenticeship, his teachings to her, and his good intentions, he once said that it was his blessing to take her as an apprentice, and he also said that he would not let her be hurt in any way, but now, these vows have turned into a wisp of green smoke with the cracked silk, and no one remembers it, maybe the master-apprentice relationship between them has long been broken, only she still has a longing, hoping to restore the old good, but the dead are finally gone, even if they try to keep it, it is still in vain.
At the end of the song, a tear flowed from the corner of the girl's eyes, staining the veil, and the face that was as graceful as jade was faintly visible, causing the men of Chunyuelou to relax from the song, hoping that the veil could fall down, so as to see the girl's face, but the girl bowed deeply to everyone after playing the piano, and then quickly left, hidden behind the curtain.
At the same time, a group of girls in Chunyue Lou dressed in pale pink silk dresses stepped in the sound of pipa, dancing on the stage with the music, with a red plum on their foreheads, raising their hands to lightly relax their sleeves, the petals fell one after another, and the fragrance overflowed the pavilion, but the hearts of all the men were on the girl, and they had no intention of watching the dance on the stage, shouting to call Miss Mo out quickly, otherwise the silver would be returned.
When Mother Xu saw that the situation was not good, she hurriedly rushed to the backstage and said to Mo Fei, who was about to go upstairs, "Miss Mo, you see that the guests are going to lift the table, can you go and appease it?" ”
Mo Fei's gaze swept over Mother Xu's anxious red face, and said lightly, "Mother Xu, you know me, I only play one song a day, and you promised to do it before." ”
Mother Xu was so angry that she smoked, but she still had to pretend to have a flattering expression on her face and said, "Yes, yes, Miss Mo said yes, but you see that if you really annoy these gold owners and really demolish our Chunyue Tower, the girl will also be a loss." ”
Mo Fei raised the corners of his mouth lightly and said indifferently, "Mom, don't panic, scarce things are expensive, if you want to make money and dominate in this Guangling City, you don't need to pay attention to them." After that, he walked up the stairs and walked towards the Qiuyue Pavilion in the depths of the corridor without looking back, leaving Mother Xu who was standing in place and gritting her teeth with hatred.
Mother Xu had to let Yingying come to the rescue, which calmed the anger of the guests, the girls of Chunyue Building were angry, since this beggar who did not know how to come into the Spring Moon Building, with excellent piano skills for a while became the top brand of the flower building, the men of Guangling City came one after another, all of them did not want to see its true face, but she looked at people with a veil, dressed like a Taoist aunt, said that only one song was played every day, so it was mysterious, but some people ate her set, and there were not a few, everyone saw that she was in the limelight, and the skills were overwhelming, Even her mother, who had always had a hot temper, had to give in in front of her, and they were jealous.
But Rao was jealous in her heart, and wanted to secretly make a loop, but she never found an opportunity, she ate in the room, not with them, in her spare time, she also locked herself in the pavilion, never came out to talk to them, mysterious, and made them curious, wanted to spy on her ulterior secrets, but every time she secretly stood in front of the tightly closed door, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
She was dressed in white, her eyes locked on their inquiring faces, and she asked faintly, "Is there something wrong with the sisters?" Frightened, they waved their hands and turned away, and when they were far away, they still felt that torch-like eyes were still watching them on their backs, which made them feel cold in their hearts.
Mo Fei walked to the front of the Autumn Moon Pavilion, walked in, closed the door, sat in front of the bronze mirror on the dresser, took off the veil, she looked at the face with tears left in the bronze mirror, the corners of her mouth curled, and said to the person in the mirror, "Why can't you see it until now, is it for him to shed tears, or for your own sadness......"
Suddenly, his chest tightened, and the face in the bronze mirror wrinkled in pain, it was the heart-devouring poison that was causing trouble again, Mo Fei bit his lower lip, cold sweat flowed, and he grabbed a wooden comb tightly, and the wooden comb broke from the middle with a "snap", and felt that the blazing flame in her body was burning again, she blew out the candle, opened the window, and jumped into the night.
The moon hung on the branches, and the vendors in Guangling City were about to pack up their things and go home, when a few big men suddenly came on the street, and they swaggered to the vendors who were about to close the stalls, and the stall owners all took out the copper coins they had prepared, and took out a few and handed them to them, and the vendor at the end saw this, packed up his baggage and carried it on his shoulders, and wanted to sneak away, but his front feet were raised, and his collar was grabbed from behind.
"I want to run away
? No way! A few big men surrounded themselves in front of the hawker who shook into chaff, and the others saw that the situation was not good and quickly fled, which angered these people, I am afraid that they will never be able to stay in Guangling City in the future, don't think that they are just simple scoundrels, the water behind them is deep, there are newcomers who do not know the world, and they are coerced to pay protection money every month, so they sue the yamen, but the government has dealt with things hastily, because these people are the thugs raised by Liu Yuanwai's family, and the government does not want to offend the powerful Liu Yuanwai in Guangling City.
"I beg you, the small ones are not doing well these days, please give them a few more days, and the little ones will pay the protection fee for this month." The peddler said tremblingly.
"Hmph, you said the same thing last month, do you know that Tie San'er, who sells baked cakes, just because he didn't pay the money for a long time, we cut off his livelihood, do you want to follow his path?" One of them said viciously.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the little one doesn't dare, the little one only earned these few copper coins today, give it to a few masters first, and the remaining small ones will definitely make up for it in three days." The vendor took out the few copper coins from his pocket, and they were snatched away by the men in an instant.
"You and our brothers are asking for food, give me a hard beating, don't beat him, I'm afraid I won't have a long memory!" The man at the head put the copper plate in his pocket and said to the others.
"Please, gentlemen...... Stop it...... Don't fight...... "The thin hawker was kicked to the ground in an instant, and the rouge gouache sold in the bag was sprinkled on the ground, and the fists of those people smashed heavily on the hawker's body, and he kept screaming and begging for mercy, but those people did not give up, until the man at the head spoke out, and a few people withdrew their hands.
"You remember it for me, if you don't send the protection money obediently in three days, I will break your leg." The man at the head bent down to pick up a box of rouge gouache rolled to his feet, he sniffed lightly, the fragrance was fragrant, he took it into his arms, he didn't see the warbler girl for a few days, he missed it very much, this box of rouge can just be given to her, maybe she is happy, and she can have a few drinks with him, thinking of this, the man's face is flushed with a lewd smile.
A few people touched the heavy pockets, rejoicing, although the big head is outside the willow staff, but they can also make some small profits from it, drinking flower wine is not a problem, they walked to the door of the Chunyue Building, was about to go in, the man headed by the man suddenly had a terrible stomach throbbing, presumably it was eaten bad at night, he covered his stomach, and said to those people, "You go, I will go to the thatched house." ”
Those people laughed and said, "Go quickly, don't pull on your pants and be blasted out by the warbler." ”
After a while, the man walked out of the toilet in the back alley of the Chunyue Building, feeling comfortable, thinking of the soft hands of the Yingying, his heart was agitated, he raised his feet and walked forward, and heard that there was a wonderful person in the Spring Moon Building, all said that she had the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, and he also wanted to go and see, thinking like this, the steps under his feet were faster.
A white figure suddenly descended in front of him, so frightened that he trembled a little, and his urine was about to attack, and he was too brave to do too much, thinking that a few lives in his hands had turned into unjust souls and asked for his life, the man knelt down on his knees, and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother and said,
"There is a debtor who is wronged...... It's not that I'm going to hurt you...... I want to take revenge and find the ...... of the willow outside"
There was a woman's moan in his ears, and the man raised his head tremblingly, and looked at it by the moonlight, and saw that it was a delicate girl in front of him, although he couldn't see her face when he lowered his head, but the slender waist that could not be folded, and the hands that were as white as jade, made his heart move.
The man was overjoyed, he didn't expect God to treat him well, this has not yet stepped into the Spring Moon Building, he stuffed a fairy-like beauty in his arms, he is really a beautiful blessing, got up and walked towards the girl, and said softly, "Sister, you are lost, let my brother send you back?" ”
Getting closer and closer, smelling a virgin fragrance on her body, which made his heart ripple even more, the man pouted and was about to kiss the girl's face, only to see the girl suddenly raise her head, the scarlet eyes were like ghosts on the pale face, the fangs were exposed, and the cold light flashed in the moonlight, and the man was so frightened that his face turned pale, "Ghost...... Ghosts...... Help......"
He turned his head and was about to run, but a pain in his neck hit him, and he could not move any further step, and he could not make a sound in his throat, and could only watch the miserable white face float in front of him.
Dark clouds covered the moon, a few dog barks in the deep alley, and after a moment silence returned, as if nothing had happened, only a disemboweled corpse in a pool of blood indicated that Guangling City would no longer be peaceful from now on......
