With the war imminent, the defenses in Suoyu City were obviously much tighter, and since King Ling's army took over Suoyu City, there were soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time. There is a bleak scene on the street, many shops along the street have closed their doors, and even the fireworks building is deserted and crowded.

There is only one exception, and that is the Emerald Red Building.

The proprietress of Cuihong Mansion is called Li Cuihong, who was also the top girl in a fireworks building when she was young, and was later redeemed by a wealthy businessman and raised outside as an outer room. It's a pity that the old Zhuhuang was kicked by a rich businessman, and there was no one son and a half daughter under his knees to support the elderly, but fortunately he still had some savings, so he returned to his old business, opened a fireworks building in this city, and started a skin business.

But in such a small border town, where will there be any high-ranking officials and rich people with generous hands, let alone any girls with good character. Therefore, the business of the fireworks building here has been not booming, and the same is true of the Cuihong Building.

But said that a few days ago, Mother Li of Cuihong Mansion didn't know what luck she had hit, and a stunning beauty fell from the sky, looking like a fairy, with excellent talent, entered Cuihong Mansion and signed a deed of sale. Although he is a clear man who only sells his art and does not sell himself, he still robbed all the business of the surrounding fireworks buildings.

This beautiful woman is very mysterious and always wears a veil, so no one knows what she really looks like, and she is more and more curious. Mother Li used to be the top brand, although she is old and decrepit, but her brain is very bright, Zhang Luo wants to hold a "unveiling ceremony" for this Xiaoxiao girl, let all the guests bid on the spot, the highest bidder, can be invited by the beauty to talk in the room, unveil the veil of Xiaoxiao girl, and see her true face.

As soon as the news spread, the people who came to admire it almost collapsed the threshold of the Cuihong Building. The "unveiling ceremony" is hard to find, and the deposit alone makes a lot of money. Mother Li was so happy that she felt that she had really picked up a cash cow.

However, some people rejoice, and there are always others who do not. This Xiaoxiao girl herself is not very happy.

Well, I'm throwing a tantrum in the room right now.

only heard the sound of "pop", Xiaoxiao girl, oh no, Xiao Lianxu slapped the table and suddenly got up, and said angrily: "How can this be true!" The war between the two countries is imminent, and these idlers still have such idleness! ”

He regretted in his heart that he didn't start at the beginning, so he shouldn't have relented for a while and agreed to pretend to be a Qinglou girl. Now it's okay, he is a dignified grandson of the Hou Mansion, and he has become a ...... Playthings for fun...... This is simply ridiculous!

Xia Taozhi: "......"

I can't see it, Xiao Dagongzi is still a patriotic and hot-blooded teenager.

She was afraid that he would turn his face and stop doing it, so she hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry...... You've said they're idlers, so why bother to be like them? ”

Xiao Lianxu gritted his teeth and looked at her, was he seeing like others? Don't think he doesn't know who came up with the idea of that "unveiling ceremony"!

Xia Taozhi snorted and pretended to be innocent.

She has no choice but to do this, at the moment she can't directly pass the news of Xuanyuan Geng's body in Suoyu City to the tsundere prince, she can only do something, I hope he notices something wrong and sends someone to investigate, it is best to arrest Xuanyuan Geng on the spot and escort him back to Chujing for disposal, so that he can no longer get away with it. Besides, even if the tsundere prince didn't find anything abnormal, this emerald red mansion had already become the focus of everyone's attention, and Xuanyuan Geng couldn't use this place as a hiding place anymore.

After thinking about it, she thought it was a very good idea.

It's just that Xiao Lianxu has to be a little wronged...... Phew, aggrieved fart! He has taken care of this oil bottle along the way, and now it is time for him to play a role.

In the afternoon, Li's mother happily came to tell them that the people bidding to unveil Miss Xiaoxiao's veil tomorrow were about to break their heads, so they could prepare well and appear on stage tomorrow.

Xiao Lianxu had a dark face and didn't speak.

Mother Li obviously saw that she was unhappy with this cash cow, and said nonchalantly: "If you enter my door, you should abide by my rules." This is a clear way, there is also a clear road, you can not pick up customers, but you must have a skill, do you have any talent? ”

Xiao Lianxu didn't answer, and didn't plan to pay attention to her at all.

But Xia Taozhi was dumbfounded, talent? What kind of talent can this straw bale 205 have? Does sword dancing count?

Mother Li slapped her hands twice, and soon someone moved a guqin in and put it in front of Xiao Lianxu.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, can you play the piano?"

Xiao Lianxu still didn't speak, and didn't even look at her.

Li's mother froze there and couldn't get off the stage, which was very embarrassing. She has seen a lot of this chastity girl, and no matter how chaste she is, she can deal with it, and within three days, she will ensure that she will receive customers obediently. But what's going on in front of you? didn't let her pick up guests, did she enter her emerald red mansion and play the piano and sing a song to wronged her? Her emerald red mansion doesn't support idlers, does she want to eat and drink here? She is beautiful and temperamental, she can understand it, but if she can't control this girl now, I'm afraid that she will turn the world upside down in the future.

Mother Li pulled her face down, ready to say a few cruel words.

Xia Taozhi hurriedly came out to play the round and responded: "Yes...... Yes. Our lady will do anything! ”

Xiao Lianxu glared at her.

Mother Li immediately put on a happy face, clapped her hands and said, "Oh, that's great!" That evening, I will ask Miss Xiaoxiao to play a song for the guests, which can be regarded as announcing that you are officially listed in our Cuihong Mansion. Thinking about it, she still said bitterly to Xiao Lianxu: "Since you have entered the door of this fireworks, the future and old things will pass it like floating clouds." Forget your previous identity and be a fireworks girl. Have a good drink with the guests, talk about music or something. If you play it well, the reward will be a lot, maybe...... There will also be dignitaries and dignitaries who take a fancy to you and redeem you and take you back to be a concubine or an outer room or something, then you won't have to worry about the rest of your life......"

Xiao Lianxu's eyes were murderous, which startled Li's mother, and she thought that she had said something wrong, so she thought about it carefully...... That's right, isn't it all for her good? She didn't talk about other girls. She really couldn't bear the temper of this handsome girl, saying that she came to this fireworks building voluntarily to be a cleaner, but she always ignored it, and every time she put on a face that wanted to eat people......

Xia Taozhi said: "Mother Li, our young lady...... I'm not feeling well today, don't worry, we'll be well prepared, and you won't go wrong tomorrow night." ”

Mother Li nodded and withdrew.

As soon as Li's mother left, Xiao Lianxu tore off the veil, slammed it on the table, stretched out three fingers, gritted his teeth and said: "Three days, just three days, no matter what happens after three days, you must compete with me, don't make excuses!" ”

“…… And then what? ”

And then ...... Then I'm going back to Chujing...... "I don't care about this guy who is full of bad water and doesn't tell the truth anymore!"

Xia Taozhi: "......"

Okay, three days is three days, and then it's a big deal for her to find another opportunity and slip away. Anyway, it's impossible to compete, and it's impossible to compete in this life.

"Hey, so you can play the piano at all?" She frowned and asked Xiao Lianxu, is this the key?

Xiao Lianxu snorted coldly, lowered his head, his slender fingers plucked the strings, and a string of string sounds flowed out from his fingers, as if it sounded beautiful.

She was stunned, "You...... Do you really know how to play the piano? "It's pretty good. It seems that he is not so sloppy......

Xiao Lianxu snorted coldly again, looking rare and strange.

At this moment, there were two soft knocks at the door.

"Who?!"

A delicate voice at the door said, "Miss Xiaoxiao, it's me." ”

Xia Taozhi hurriedly helped Xiao Lianxu put on the veil and went to open the door. Standing at the door was the girl who lived on their right, named Xiangyu.

This Xiangyu girl is very young, and she is also a very popular girl in this Cuihong Mansion. As Li's mother said, every fireworks girl has her own skills, and this Xiangyu girl's specialty, cough cough, is said to be her voice, soft and charming, crispy and numb. It is the most unique one in the whole Cuihong Building, and every time you pick up guests, the cry resounds throughout the Cuihong Building. Some of the guests who love this alone like her very much, such as Xuanyuan Geng, who comes to patronize her every day.

Xiangyu's appearance is not outstanding, but it is indeed very charming as a fireworks woman, and her smile contains infinite spring love. She swayed her waist lightly, walked in with a lot of money, and sat opposite Xiao Lianxu, her eyebrows were tactful, and she was full of charm.

Xia Taozhi couldn't help but wonder, Xuanyuan Geng slept with such a woman in his arms every night, but did nothing, was there really any hidden disease?

"I don't know what happened to Miss Xiaoxiao looking for me?" She opened her mouth softly, and her voice was as charming as a gossamer, and it made people's waists crisp when they heard it.

Xiao Lianxu didn't speak, glanced at Xia Taozhi, and Xia Taozhi said: "That's the case, Miss Xiangyu, my young lady has something to ask for." ”

Xiangyu, a girl who has been in the Fengyue Field, has a sense of old age between her eyebrows, and she doesn't ask much, and says bluntly: "It's okay if you want me to do something, but I have one condition." ”

"Miss Xiangyu, please speak."

"Tomorrow Miss Xiaoxiao will be listed, with Miss Xiaoxiao's qualifications...... Even if he is a clear man, he is a hundred times stronger than us, and he will definitely have a bright future on this road in the future. ”

Xiao Lianxu's face darkened again......

Xiangyu continued: "I'm not greedy, I want this ......" She stretched out a few fingers and compared.

Xia Taozhi sneered in her heart, you are quite greedy...... However, greed is fine. The tsundere prince said that greedy people have tight mouths and are reliable.

At nightfall, Miss Xiaoxiao's room turned off the lights early and went to sleep.

And the candle flame was still lit in Miss Xiangyu's house, and a red lantern was raised in her window, indicating that there were guests tonight. Such a lantern has been raised in her window every day for almost a month.

A series of footsteps sounded outside the door, the pace was steady, the steps were brisk, and when you heard it, you were a person who practiced martial arts.

This is Xiangyu's benefactor.
