Chapter Eighty-Five: Inquiring
Wen Niang's face tightened when Yuexiang appeared, after all, she was the one who replaced her position, and her master really taught her apprentice, and then she was unloaded and killed the donkey.
I thought that I would never get out of my life in this life, and I would have to live a miserable life with a touch of red lips, but I thought that I had a dirty disease, and I thought that it would be better to die like this, but I met the biggest noble lady in this life, the Luo family.
Ten days ago, on May 30, it coincided with the day when the readers rested, and the Red Moon Building opened during the day, and a few days ago, a notice was specially posted for everyone to look forward to new songs and new plays, which rendered a full atmosphere for the opening of the day.
The song of that day was played by Wen Niang, a song "Water Tune Song Head" won the applause of the house, Wen Niang saw the appreciation in the eyes of most of the readers, from that day on, most of the guests every night were readers, all of whom let themselves play the pipa, sing the tune, and no longer need to serve people with color.
In the past few days, Wen Niang has faintly returned to when she was popular.
But now the appearance of Yuexiang has made Wen Niang's heart half cold, she can become popular all thanks to the Luo family's lady, but if the Luo family's lady's song is played by Yuexiang, what else does she have......
"Do you want to listen to my pipa?" Yue Xiang took the pipa held by the maid behind her, and sat down proudly, her five fingers were like ripples, rippling a circle of pleasant notes.
Chen Xiuyan had to admit that someone with such confidence must be pleasing to the eye to play, but she didn't plan to listen, "Miss Yuexiang." ”
Chen Xiuyan interrupted, "Miss Yuexiang's pipa skills must be very good, otherwise she wouldn't be able to become the Oiran of the Red Moon Building, but since I have already cooperated with Wen Niang, I can't hold the branches, I'm sorry." ”
Yuexiang's fingers playing the pipa suddenly listened, and the strings made a piercing tone, "Lady of the Luo family, aren't you afraid of choosing the wrong person?" ”
"How can I be afraid of the one I chose myself." Chen Xiuyan looked at Yue Xiang meaningfully, and those deep eyes that seemed to be able to attract people made Yue Xiang dare not look directly.
Chen Xiuyan's words made Wen Niang's heart warm up instantly, and her face showed excitement.
"Now that the Locke family lady has a choice, then Yuexiang will retire." Yuexiang stood up and said goodbye with a smile, but after turning around, her face sank instantly, she didn't expect a village woman to be so ignorant.
"Thank you Locke for your love." Wen Niang got up and bowed towards Chen Xiuyan, her words full of gratitude.
"Wen Niang is polite." Chen Xiuyan replied with a smile.
The old bustard is a person who can look at the eyes, and the song in his hand was immediately given to Wen Niang, "Practice hard, it will open during the day tomorrow, you can do it well." ”
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my mother's love." Wen Niang said gently.
The old bustard then looked at Chen Xiuyan earnestly, "When will you be able to write a book again, Lady Luo?" Last time, we Hongyuelou planned to perform in the play for a month, and the response last time was very good, and everyone can accept it by appearing three times a month, but if there is more, there is less heart, so ......"
"Mom, don't worry, since we are sincerely cooperating, we will definitely give you the new words book in the middle of this month and on the fifteenth." Chen Xiuyan assured.
"Oh, I'm relieved to have the words of the Locke lady." The old bustard eagerly refilled Chen Xiuyan's tea, and Chen Xiuyan took it and drank it.
"The Locke lady likes this tea, I asked the Locke lady to wrap some and take it back." The old bustard gave Wen Niang a look, and after a while, a small can of tea in a bamboo tube was brought in.
There was also a small cloth bag with thirty taels of silver in it, which was the buyout money for the song.
After Chen Xiuyan accepted it, she asked the main purpose of coming today, but others only thought it was by the way, "By the way, Mom, have you ever heard of a person named Tao Niang?" ”
"Peach Girl?" The old bustard thought for a while and only felt both familiar and unfamiliar, "If it is the girl in our Red Moon Building, whether it is still there or has gone out, I remember that there is no one named Tao Niang." ”
"Similar names, like peach, peach, peach, peach, is it just a name?" The bustard asked.
"Probably, but she looks like this." Chen Xiuyan took out a piece of paper, on which was a portrait she painted, she had a good memory, but her painting could only be regarded as average, but she drew the characteristics of Tao Niang, single eyelids, slightly plump lips, collapsed nose, especially a mole on the nose, she circled it.
"This looks familiar." The old bustard looked at Chen Xiuyan's slightly rough portrait, and always felt familiar, but he couldn't name it for a while.
"Isn't this pink?" Wen Niang took a closer look, pointed to the mole on the nose of the portrait and received, "Her mole is not big or small, when she was ransomed and left our Red Moon Tower, didn't the other party take a fancy to the mole on her nose and said that it was Wangzi." ”
"Hey, yes, yes." The old bustard clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I just said that it looks familiar, but it's not peach, but she redeemed her the year before last, I remember that the person who ransomed her was a businessman, what's her name?" ”
"The surname is Gao." Wen Niang said.
"High? Gao Wangke? Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Is that the name, why does it sound wrong with me?" The old bustard frowned and used his brain.
"Gao Wangzu is called." Wen Niang affirmed, "Looking at the ancestors, looking at the ancestors, when I heard it, I was pinned on high hopes to let him glorify his ancestors." ”
Gao Wangzu? Chen Xiuyan thought that if she could be called by this name, she and Gao Wangke should be cousins, but since it was Gao Wangzu who redeemed her body for Tao Niang, how did she end up being Gao Wangke's outer room?
"Oh, the Gao family in Huanyi Alley." Chen Xiuyan nodded pretentiously.
"How could the Locke lady ask about Pink?" The old bustard asked curiously.
Chen Xiuyan looked at the old bustard with a smile, and the deep meaning in her eyes made the old bustard smile and shake his head, "Hehe, since the lady of the Luo family asks, there is naturally a reason to ask, anyway, it has nothing to do with my Hongyue Building, I am not curious, and the lady of the Luo family can rest assured, we will not tell you what you asked us about." ”
Chen Xiuyan's smile deepened, "Mom is really a person who knows everything." ”
Chen Xiuyan carried the silver and the tea leaves, and went directly to buy some halva after leaving the Red Moon Building, and then went to Huanyi Lane.
used a bag of halva to inquire about the generations of the Gao family, and knew that Gao Wangzu was the eldest son of Gao Chong's cousin Gao Song, twenty-eight this year, and the eldest grandson of the second grandfather he had met that day.
It's kind of interesting.
Chen Xiuyan was thinking about whether to climb over the wall and go in to see that Gao Wangzu, but before she could act, she saw Tao Niang walking out of the back door of the mansion, with a sneaky face.
Chen Xiuyan instantly flashed into a hidden corner, and then slowly followed her.
This peach girl is when she is favored, how can she come out unaccompanied, and when Chen Xiuyan saw her enter the Gao family teahouse, she felt a little clear.
Since it is the territory of the Gao family, you only need to find a reason to come here to find Gao Wangke, and no one will doubt it.
