Chapter 251: The Sound of the Piano (1/2)
Wang Anfeng and Lu Baiping left that ancient street and wandered around Wanling City, at this time, the Fufeng knife was killing people on the street at the most prosperous checkpoint, and the road was full of people with knives, and the guarded Daqin Iron Pawn was not easy to get out of the city.
I didn't care about the time, and when I walked to the place where the river that flowed through Wanling City was getting wider, I suddenly heard the sound of a song singing along the wind.
At this time, it is close to dusk, the bluestone arch bridge with more than ten zhang long spans both sides of the riverbank, the weeping willows on both sides of the riverbank, the red lights are lit on the left and right, a prosperous, there are many painting boats and green buildings in Jiangnan Road, the scribes are romantic, the prostitutes are not ashamed, but feel that it is an elegant thing.
However, it is different from the so-called kilns in ordinary places, where women all choose talented and beautiful daughters, not only to be good-looking, but also to have talents, to be able to chant poetry, to stroke the piano well, most of them are selling their art and not selling their bodies, but to play the piano and sing when the literati get together.
But since you can meet talented and like-minded people in the place of fireworks and willows, you don't mind having a good night, and you also attract the children of the family and the rich businessmen, and you have to drop a lot of money here.
The long song was faint, but it could make the pedestrians on both sides stop and listen quietly, and after singing the song, they still stayed in place, unwilling to leave for a long time, Lu Baiping came back to her senses for a long time, her face was full of admiration, and she said:
"This is the Yunmeng girl that Yu Chijie has been talking about for a long time?"
"Sure enough, it's a good song, I've never heard such a good song before."
Wang Anfeng looked at the green building, shook his head, and said:
"Probably not."
"This Qinglou can only be regarded as middle and upper in this area, since Wei Chijie said that Yunmeng girl is the thirteenth county of Mingzhen Jiangnan Province, then I think he should be in the largest one."
"Isn't it?"
A little surprise appeared on Lu Baiping's face, and then she was a little envious, and said:
"And how powerful is that girl......
After all, Lu Baiping is a woman, or a beautiful woman with a different kind of heroic spirit, such a person naturally can't go into the Qinglou Painting Boat, most of the men who come here are stained with the word wine, who can be called a righteous gentleman?
When she entered the building, she was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
However, in these ten-mile buildings, there are painting boats, there are green buildings, but there are also some ordinary pianists, taking advantage of the large number of people, sitting down on both sides of the road to stroke the piano, and earning some money to subsidize the family.
These pianists are naturally not as lovely as the beautiful girls in the Qinglou Painting Boat, so the Painting Boat will tolerate them playing the piano here, which can also make this place more prosperous.
The sons of the family who came out of the Qinglou occasionally waved their hands, and they were able to have rations for one month and two months, although it was a little insulting, but they could live no matter what.
Wang Anfeng smiled, said that he was following, took two steps forward, walked in front of Lu Baiping, and took her slowly across the ten-zhang bluestone bridge, which is almost two completely different worlds on this side of the bridge and on the other side.
There are flower boats passing by the river, and the hanging lanterns are reflected in the river, and then they are crumpled into a puddle of red by the ripples.
On the opposite side were many gorgeously dressed men from the family, and suddenly a tall and slender beautiful woman appeared, which attracted a lot of attention when she landed, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Wang Anfeng stepping in front of her.
Seeing that although the young man had a smile on his face, he was carrying two swords behind his back, and when he stepped on, he faintly had a majestic bearing like a mountain, obviously the sword was not an ornament.
Some of the children of the family who were full of recklessness and arrogance just glanced at it, their faces turned a little pale, and they turned around and retreated, but they really couldn't avoid it, so they hugged their fists far away with a kind face, kicked away the blank guard, and were so diligent that they got out of the way.
In the blink of an eye, a straight road appeared in front of Wang Anfeng and the two, at least able to accommodate the three of them walking side by side, and it was terrifyingly quiet, spreading to the depths of the ten miles of prosperity.
The plump woman who solicited guests under the painting boat of the Qinglou around only thought that it was the son of a family who she had seen before, and she only felt that it was really indescribable to bring a beauty to visit the Qinglou, and then looked at the woman's appearance.
Yo, you're not here to smash the field.
Lu Baiping looked at the sons of the family who suddenly became kind and polite around her, because of the behavior of these family children, the surrounding atmosphere was a little too depressed, she was a little uncomfortable and moved her shoulders, lowered her voice, and said curiously:
"You beat them?"
Wang Anfeng was silent, and then said:
“…… Not yet. ”
"But I can guess why."
He patted the hilt of the sword on his back and said, "They probably don't want to see the two swords behind my back unsheathed, it seems that the children of the family in Wanling City should have recruited some people with good painters." ”
"In the past few days, our portraits have probably been spread all over these gentlemen, if you think boldly, or we have already been listed as murderers who cannot be provoked."
When Lu Baiping heard this, her face showed a little disgust.
Wang Anfeng just smiled, his eyesight was very good, and he took Lu Baiping and the two of them around, and quietly climbed over a wall, and stopped under the largest flower building in the entire Wanling City.
Wang Anfeng took Lu Baiping to a gap between the green wall and the green building, which was not narrow, but it could not be said to be spacious, he grabbed the slightly longer broadsword behind his back in his hand, and sat on the ground at once, leaning against the wall.
Lu Baiping's face was puzzled.
Wang Anfeng put the index finger of his right hand on his lips, sighed lightly, then pointed to it, blinked his eyes twice and smiled:
"Listen quietly, you should be able to hear it here."
Lu Baiping suddenly realized and said:
"You don't have to pay yet."
"You're still very good at getting by......"
Wang An burst out laughing out loud, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile:
"Clever."
Wang Anfeng asked again: "Do you want to listen?" ”
Lu Baiping said as a matter of course:
"Naturally, you have to listen!"
Just holding the sword and leaning on the side of the green wall facing the Qinglou, the children of the family who had just been frightened by Wang Anfeng walked in from the main gate of the Qinglou with a sigh of relief.
In his arms, he hugged the plump and coolly dressed woman, and sighed bitterly, saying that why did the murderer appear here? As he spoke, he secretly scolded himself, he was really an unkempt and dirty man who hit each other with a sword. ”
"What a villain.
Lu Baiping lifted the sword in his hand and looked at Wang Anfeng and said:
"Do you want to beat them up?"
Wang Anfeng said seriously:
"Miss Lu, we're here to listen to the music, this listening to the music is an elegant thing, and it's not good to see the disaster of blood and light."
Lu Baiping thought for a while, and then said, "Yes." ”
There was a commotion in the green building, in the direction of Lu Baiping, you can see a faint silhouette, it seems that a woman has appeared on the stage, but it is not the famous Oiran Yunmeng of Jiangnan Province, a song is soft and lingering, and Lu Baiping listens carefully.
After a few people went up and down, there was a break, a woman's voice came out, saying that Yunmeng girl was grateful for the love of your sons, and she had not opened her mouth during this time, because she wanted to compose a new song.
Today's composition happens to be completed, and it will be handed over to you for tasting.
After the woman finished speaking, she complained twice with a smile, saying that even she had never heard this song since it was composed.
Lu Baiping picked the woman's slightly dashing sword eyebrows and said:
"Are the people in the big city so good at making money?"
Wang Anfeng said:
"No,...... Is this clearly a deception? ”
"But that Yunmeng girl seems to be worthy of her name, otherwise a new song wouldn't have caused so many people to jump into the pit."
Lu Baiping leaned against the green wall, full of interest.
Outside the green wall, Wang Anfeng's eyes were slightly closed, his palms tapped his knees, and he listened quietly to hear what the methods of that Oiran were.
At the beginning of the sound of the piano, it is extraordinary, and it rises suddenly, like a torrent of thunder.
Someone inside the wall whispered.
"The wind is strong and the bow is roaring, and the general hunts Weicheng."
