Chapter 3: Playing the Piano

In the cold and windy winter, the sky is gray, like a layer of gray fog.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer of white frost.

Snowflakes fell in the cold wind, hitting people with cold and biting bones.

But in the Baihua Building, it is still full of spring, warm as spring, the lights in the Baihua Building are bright, the voices are boiling, and the noisy sound keeps coming.

This is the annual "Hundred Flowers Meeting" held by Baihualou, all kinds of beautiful flowers, all kinds of exquisite delicacies, everything, as well as all kinds of delicious wine, wine, delicacies, singing and dancing, beauties, for a time the whole building is full of temptation and blurred atmosphere.

Baihualou is eight meters high and has seven floors. The decoration of the building is mainly gold, silver and jewelry, carved beams and paintings, exquisite and luxurious, showing the atmosphere of luxury everywhere, you can imagine how rich the landlord is.

At this moment, on the sixth floor of Baihua Building, the sixth floor is the resting place of the first-class kiln girl, and there are all kinds of cosmetics such as fat powder, rouge gouache and so on on the dressing table.

At this moment, a girl in a tulle red dress is sitting in front of the dresser, her appearance is like a flower, her skin is better than snow, a pair of phoenix eyes are full of spring love, and her eyebrows reveal a charming and graceful manner, which makes people can't help but feel fluttering, and a long black silk is scattered behind her, swaying slightly with her slight breathing.

"Alas, it's only been a few days, and I'm going to play the piano and sing music for those disgusting men, I really can't stand it, but this is the order of the landlord, so I have to endure it reluctantly, alas~" Meng Xiyao sighed helplessly, she thought to herself that when she became a generation of Gu masters, she estimated that she would be able to get rid of the identity of the Qinglou woman, she knew in her heart that even if she didn't sell her body now, what would happen in the future? When you grow up, don't you follow those dog men...... Even if I die, I will not serve those people.

Now I don't have a good relationship with someone, I don't know, I'm only 14 years old, where can I get into trouble? Or is it because I can become a top brand at a young age, envy, jealousy and hatred? Just when Meng Xiyao was thinking wildly, the door was pushed open, and four or five people walked in, all of whom were older girls than her.

"Sister Ayao, it's time to go out and perform, don't make the guests wait any longer." One of the rather charming-looking girls said.

"Okay, you guys go first, I'll come later."

"Okay."

Meng Xiyao doesn't know what to do, what to perform? Guzheng, since childhood, this body has cultivated guzheng and pipa, so I will play a song "A Sigh for a Thousand Years" and I don't remember what the song is.

She called a few sisters she knew and came to the small room on the second floor, the first floor was full of mortals, and only on the second floor were those noble Gu masters, who could enjoy the top ingredients and wine.

Her sisters lit incense and candles for her, everything was ready, she sat next to the zither, a little nervous began to pluck the strings of the zither, although she learned the zither since she was a child, but this "Sigh of a Thousand Years" is not very familiar, so she did not dare to play it rashly, she first adjusted her mentality and body sitting close to the right end of the zither a few times, and then slowly plucked the strings.

Behind the gorgeous door, a group of handsome sons in brocade clothes were standing, listening to the melodious sound of the guqin in the room, and they all showed intoxicated and expectant smiles.

The leisurely sound of the guqin is very beautiful, like the tinkling of the spring water of the stream, and there is sadness, as if telling the past through the ages.

This is an elegant piece of music, unconsciously immersed them in it, and gradually they feel that this "Sigh for a Thousand Years" is not so unpleasant, even a little pleasant, even the original somewhat irritable state of mind has become quiet and serene at this time, and there is a faint sadness in their hearts.

"She is worthy of being a talented woman in Mengxuan, with stunning appearance, excellent temperament, and outstanding piano skills, which is really surprising."

"It's true to its name, and people live up to their name." For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the house, all praising Meng Xiyao.

Meng Xiyao didn't pay much attention to the admiration outside, focusing on the instrument in her hand. She kept telling herself in her heart that no matter where she was, no matter what she did, she had to stay calm.

After playing the next song, "Acquaintance, Hate Night, Parting Pain", with a sad rhythm, slowly sounded.

Outside the house, a cold wind blew, and a white snowflake flew up, falling on the window of Baihualou, and disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared, with Meng Xiyao's fingers, fluttering into the curtains, disappearing into the night.

Inside the house, the sound of the piano in Meng Xiyao's hand had stopped, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down as much as possible. She looked up at the moon outside, and the moonlight shone on her face, making her look like a bright moon.

"Call that talented girl from Mengxuan to serve the young master, I'm in a hurry." A half-naked boy said, shaking a folding fan in his hand.

"My lord, I am a talented woman, I don't sell my body if I sell my art, my lord should find someone else!" At this time, a girl opened her mouth to persuade with a worried look.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, I said I wanted it, who would dare to refuse me? It's just a well-known Qinglou woman who is arrogant! The boy said with a brutal face.

"It's covered by a fifth-turn Gu master here, don't be too arrogant and domineering!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the old bustard hurriedly stood up and said to the son.

"Humph! Just a five-turn, wait a minute five... Gu Master, sorry to interrupt me. Brother Gongzi snorted coldly with disdain, when he heard the words Five Turns Gu Master, his face suddenly changed and he became respectful, after all, he had just come here.

"Alas, these men who bully the weak and fear the hard!" In the room, Meng Xiyao sighed. In these realities, the sons and daughters rely on the rich and powerful, acting as a prestige, bullying ordinary people, and when they encounter more rich and powerful than themselves, they will immediately soften, and they are also here.

"Dare to ask how much money it takes to meet the talented girl of Mengxian?" At this time, a young man dressed in purple and looking quite handsome asked.

"Ten Yuan Stones." The old bustard said with a grin.

When the purple-clothed young man heard this, he didn't say much, took out ten oval pure white yuan stones from his waist and handed them to her.

Yuanshi is the currency of this world, and it is also quite commodity, the earth has a single gold standard, Yuanshi is the currency of mortals in the gold standard, a Yuanshi can buy a lot of things, so Yuanshi is more precious. These rich second generations must have a lot of money on them, which is also the root cause of their daring to act recklessly here.

"I can only chat, drink tea, and can't do anything else." Seeing that the young man in purple was so decisive, the old bustard handed over the yuan stone to her without hesitation, and couldn't help but remind.

"I see." The purple-clothed young man nodded, then turned around and walked to the room, leaving behind a dashing back, his demeanor revealing the superiority of a noble child.

"Oh, there are still guests coming? If the pervert drove him away. Meng Xiyao heard the sound outside the room and knew that there must be a distinguished guest coming, so she hurriedly put the guzheng on the ground, held the qin with both hands, and waited for him quietly. She knew that she had to make the most beautiful performance at this time in order to win the favor of those people.

Although Meng Xiyao's face is immature, it is not lacking in charm, especially the temperament and charm exuded by her, which makes her extremely beautiful.

"Hello son...... Wait a minute, are you that Gu Master from the other day? The door in front of her was pushed open, and Meng Xiyao was stunned when she saw the person who came in.

"I haven't seen the little girl for a long time, are you getting better?" A clear voice came out, this person was completely different from the previous dress, dressed in purple, holding a folding fan, looking like a weak scholar.
