Chapter 104: The Great River Goes East
The girl wore a tulle on her face, and she sat alone on a chair in the middle of the stage, holding a lute in her arms.
In the stands on the second floor, Zheng Mi took a few steps forward, and almost put his face on the bead curtain and looked at it for a while-confirmed, this is not Bai Ling.
He breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back, and retreated to his place to sit down.
At this moment, a turtle paw stepped forward and put two iron balls in the red-bottomed velvet plate on the right side of the stage.
"Fifteen hundred taels ......!"
Zheng Mi stumbled and almost didn't sit still.
"Multi-...... How much? β
Zhang Shouzhong glanced back at him, "One thousand five." β
Zheng Mi stood up again, he stepped forward a few steps, walked to the bead curtain and looked at it carefully-what kind of girl can come up and offer 1,500 taels of silver?
"Master Zheng, come back." Zhang Shouzhong was a little helpless, "If you go further, your head will stick out......"
Zheng Mi's feet shrank back, but he still stood in front and listened for a while.
After listening to a few phrases later, Zheng Mi looked back at Zhang Shouzhong, "...... What does Master Zhang think of this pipa? β
ββ¦β¦ Well," Zhang Shouzhong stroked his beard slightly, "yes...... So so. β
Zheng Mi nodded, his face full of incomprehension, "This sounds like an ordinary person, even if this little girl looks amazing, she can't see it when she covers her face at this time, how can she shout out fifteen hundred taels of silver when she comes upββ"
"One thousand six hundred taels ββ!"
"Seventeen hundred...... One thousand eight hundred taels! β
The sound of the turtle paws in the audience continued to come one after another - in the hall below, many turtle paws stepped forward one after another with smaller iron balls in their hands, adding weight to the red plate.
Each time a ball is added, the turtle's paw on the table will make a sound.
Zheng Mi gasped.
"My Mom ......"
To say that Baihuaya is a gold cave, he has always known about this.
It's just that Baihuaya belongs to the Jiaofang Division, and the taxes here can only flow into the emperor's internal funds, and it has nothing to do with his yamen.
He had heard a word or two of wind about this May Crescent Line before, but if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he really didn't expect that this would be able to squander it to this extent.
Seriously, if it's for listening to the piano, there are many skilled piano masters in Baihuaya, and if it's for women...... There are even more options to throw money at here.
One thousand eight hundred taels ...... Just to buy a girl with mediocre piano skills and can't see her full face?
"Two thousand three hundred taels!"
"Two thousand eight hundred taels - two thousand nine hundred taels!"
In an instant, the price code has doubled by 1,000 online.
Zheng Mi leaned on a nearby stool and sat down slowly.
In the suburbs of Pingjing, a family of three farmers spends only two taels of silver a year.
The price code in the audience is still rising.
At the end of the song, the large and small iron balls on the red plate were held out and rearranged, and the final price was "four thousand two hundred taels of silver".
"Is this crazy...... Zheng Mi looked at the crowd in the audience dumbfounded, "Four thousand two hundred taels?" β
"Lord Zheng doesn't need to be surprised," Zhang Shouzhong said softly, "this price is not too high. β
"That's not too high?" Zheng Mi's brows furrowed.
"Yes, look at the sign hanging on the front of this girl's red plate, this is the person with the number of tides - most of the people they sent today are from the sect department." Zhang Shouzhong said softly, "And most of these people who come to buy people in the May Crescent Store are giants from all over the world, and they will sprinkle water for a thousand taels of silver...... They should all be going for their past official bodies. β
Guilt and official status......
Zheng Mi finally understood.
These girls are all innocent and wealthy, and most of them were born in wealthy places.
When their family was at its peak, the vast majority of people in this hall would not have any chance of asking for marriage, and now that the phoenix fell from the branch in the past, it was natural that someone would come to plunder and feast.
"When is Bolin?" Zheng Mi asked.
"I don't know." Zhang Shouzhong said softly, "There is no schedule for this, you can only wait." β
In the compartment on the second floor, the three of them silently watched the singing and dancing on the stage.
Under the light red shadow, the girls walked one after another, and the price on the red plate kept shouting new highs, and at this time, Zheng Mi heard sharp cheers and coaxing voices from the audience.
No one knew who had paid the money, except for the turtle's paws, which walked through the hallways like bees among the flowers.
Zheng Mi looked at this situation, and his expression gradually became bitter.
Zhang Shouzhong looked at Zheng Mi's expression from time to time, and took advantage of an intermission to gently comfort, "Lord Zheng don't worry too much, as far as I know, the emperor should have arranged someone to pick up Xiao Si Yao's bottom." β
Zheng Mi shook his head, "I'm not thinking about Xiao Si Yao. β
Zhang Shouzhong waited silently for him to follow.
I could only hear Zheng Mi whispering, "...... I also have a daughter who is just seven years old after the Chinese New Year. β
Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong were stunned for a moment, and suddenly their mood became complicated,
Zheng Mi didn't say the rest of the words, and they just didn't hear them.
The gong sounded again, and a turtle paw stepped forward, took down the tag of the previous brand in front of the red plate, and re-hung the sign with the name of "Xi".
At this time, it was halftime, and it was half a night, and even the spectators themselves felt a little tired.
Everyone talked to each other about the harvest of the first half, and their voices did not calm down for a long time.
At this moment, a wooden zither was carried up to the right side of the stage by the turtle paws, and in the midst of a noise, a girl in green clothes was led to the stage by the turtle paws with her head down.
She sat down in front of the zhengqin, then looked sideways at the side of the stage, and after a few deep breaths, the girl took off the light veil on her face and showed her true face.
The crowd fell silent.
There is a saying about taking off the veil - if you want to pay a high price for the blue eyes of the family of Bo Shangjia, you should hide your identity. After all, the foundation of the sin is there, and if you don't want to cause trouble, you shouldn't show your head in front of everyone.
Sure enough, when everyone saw that behind the veil was a beautiful little girl, many people sighed.
However, there are also people who have a faint light in the dark.
In the Crescent of May, the girls who took off their veils in front of the stage had only two ways to go.
Or, no one bids, continue to go back to the original flower kiln to make pigs and dogs for the bustard - you know, no one bids means that the bustard girl previously smashed on her both silver and water, such a girl will be almost impossible to think about.
The other way is to let other flower kilns secretly pay for redemption, and half of the money earned in the first three years will go to the original flower kiln.
But the problem is that each flower kiln has its own channels to enter the people, and it is necessary to impress them to spend money from the May Crescent Shop...... How easy is it to say?
In the past few years, almost no one has done such a thing...... What does this girl on the stage think?
Ai Songqing glanced up at the crowd in the audience, her hands raised slightly, and then gently landed on the strings.
In the corner of the stage, a girl in a white dress danced lightly and walked to the center of the stage in a few steps.
As soon as he spoke, the song instantly attracted everyone's attentionβ
"Look, go to the east of the great river, and the waves will sweep away the heroes of the ages-"
