Chapter 27: Ah Xiu: He is a master storyteller
After Lu Ming was filmed, in addition to not being able to go out, he lived the most leisurely life in Xiang Gui Fang. Even Ah Xiang and Ah Gui, who specialize in serving her, have improved a lot.
Everyone only knows that Ah Xiu was contracted by a mysterious noble son, although the noble son did not show up, but with the hundred taels of silver that came in from time to time, her mother also responded to her needs, and there was no need to sign up to receive other guests.
The girl in Xiang Gui Fong was so jealous.
After all, it is a woman's nest, and she likes to gossip, this back and forth, plus her mother's intention to praise her, create a momentum, so that your son knows that he is a girl with a good reputation and face, so that he can spend more money.
Therefore, even if Ah Xiu didn't pick up customers, her reputation still spread.
Of course, the words are good.
What a sinking fish and a wild goose, what a colorful thing, my mother's rainbow fart is almost blowing to the sky, causing many foreign masters to yearn for this peerless beauty very much, and they haven't even seen each other, so they are scrambling to add money to the beauty to pick up customers.
Even if you don't do anything else, you can listen to the beauty sing and play the piano!
Mom laughed and trembled, and the effect was so good that she couldn't resist the temptation of the rich people.
It is not without guests who bid hundreds of taels of silver, and it is precisely because there are too many that my mother is happy and embarrassed.
Isn't this forcing her to break the rules?
But seeing so much silver dangling in front of her eyes but not being able to collect it, how tormenting it should be for her, who loves money like her life.
The mother who couldn't hold it came to Lu Ming to complain to her with a "sweet burden", and then asked her to ask the son's opinion, and it was best to stimulate the son to give more silver.
Lu Ming obediently agreed.
Mom Jio just left, and Jio Keichi came.
I came in through a window.
Although there is still no expression, Lu Ming knows that just after the quarrel with the heroine, it is strange that Ying Yi is in a good mood.
When Keichi consciously changed into clothes, she poured a cup of tea for Keichi with a smile and asked him, "Is Childe still listening to me sing today?" ”
Usually Keichi would nod or be silent to show his choice, but today, Keichi spoke, "Sit with me for a while." ”
Lu Ming sat beside him naturally, not far away. It's like the normal distance of friends, not the greasy crookedness of the usual Qinglou woman.
It seems that except for the time when he begged him to take her out two days ago, Ah Xiu rarely had contact with him on weekdays, and he didn't even have a little flattery and enthusiasm for his customers.
"Childe is not in high spirits today." Lu Ming also poured herself a cup of tea, "Why don't I tell a story to my son to relieve his boredom?" ”
Keichi agreed.
He just wanted to come over and listen to Ah Xiu talk for a while.
So Lu Ming took out her ancestral story:
"Once upon a time, there was a girl who was born with a country and a city, and her beauty was peerless. And then she died. ”
Shadow 1: ......
Looking at Lu Ming with a complicated look, his mood was very delicate.
Lu Ming also asked him with a smile on her face, "Childe, don't you like this story?" Then the concubine will tell you one more, it is guaranteed to be longer than the story just now. ”
Keichi nodded with a half-believing attitude this time.
"Once upon a time, there was a scholar who heard about the death of a girl who was a girl who was captivating the country and the city, and then he also died."
Shadow 1: ......
His mood was even more indescribable.
But the other party was still dimpling and asked him with a sweet smile, "Is this story good?" ”
Keichi didn't know what to use to describe his feelings, so he could only say with a calm face that this story was too hasty.
"Isn't Childe satisfied with the story told by the concubine? But Childe's mood is much better. ”
The girl who told the story without content was still complacent, "The concubine is really a good storyteller, does the son think that it is a fairly correct decision to take the concubine?" ”
Keichi didn't want to explain, he wasn't angry anymore, because he was completely depressed by these two stories.
There was no response from Ying Yi, Lu Ming didn't feel embarrassed, and after Ying Yi was no longer angry, Lu Ming said: "Actually, Childe came at the right time, Fang Cai's mother came to me, and there are already several guests who are willing to pay a high price to listen to me sing, and my mother doesn't know what to do, so she asked me to ask Childe's opinion." ”
"Childe also knows that there are girls in Xiang Gui Fong who are under the patron's bag, and they will not accept customers. But the guests' bids were too high, and Mom couldn't refuse, so Childe, why don't you let me sing for them? ”
Mom did ask Lu Ming to ask Keichi's opinion, but Mom's purpose was to make Keichi spend more money, not to ask her if she could sing songs to earn extra money.
Keichi was also puzzled, "You don't want me to take more silver to wrap you?" ”
Lu Ming shook her head with a smile, "Childe never comes, and he doesn't speak much when he comes." Although the concubine is protected by the prince and does not have to receive guests, she can't go out of the building and can't see anyone every day to talk. It's better to sing and sing songs to relieve boredom, it's not a pick-up after all, and it's not a bad rule, and there is still money to take, so why not do it? ”
Shadow 1: ......
He could see that this girl was bored by him, right?
If others get such a big money master, they have to use all kinds of means to curry favor at all times, but Ah Xiu just doesn't do it.
She not only treats her customers as she likes, but also blatantly dislikes them, so she is not afraid of offending them! So arrogant?
However, Keichi really didn't want to give up his goal in life like that. He was silent for a long time before speaking, "I will come to talk to you more often in the future." ”
Lu Ming was happy at this time, and rewarded him for his progress by pouring him tea.
Shadow One: "...... I'm not thirsty. ”
Lu Ming thought for a while and replied, "Then the concubine will tell a story to the son." ”
Ying Yi wanted to protest with silence, but when he thought that he had promised the girl to talk to her more, he could only refuse, "I don't want to hear it." ”
"What does that Childe want to do?"
Ying Yi thought about it, he hadn't seen Ah Xiu please his customers like other Qinglou women, and he asked, "Shouldn't you find a way to please me by yourself?" ”
Lu Ming asked him rhetorically, even more justified than him, "But the concubine doesn't know the son's preferences, how can she please the son?" ”
Keichi was stupid again.
Start thinking seriously about what you like.
The first half of his life was accompanied by death and money, climbing from the bottom to the top step by step, as if nothing but killing is killing, and there has never been a time to live for himself.
Thinking back now, Keichi realizes that he doesn't know anything about himself.
Suddenly, thinking of that day, Ah Xiu wanted to go out and hold his arm, Ying Yi unconsciously pointed to one of his arms and said:
"When you said you wanted to go out that day, you held my hand, and I liked it very much."
At that time, his heart was soft, soft, as if it had become a cloud.
