Eight.

At night, the center of Jianghuai Town is lit up as usual, lively and lively, and the Flower Pavilion also ushered in the most familiar regulars - Zhang Shizi calmly shook the folding fan, swaggered to the door, and Liu's mother, who greeted the guests, saw that he was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to make a sycophant, and Zhang Shizi was even more proud when he heard the sweet words.

Liu's mother beckoned the other girls to come over to greet Zhang Shizi, and the well-dressed and graceful women all rushed forward to surround the man, coquettishly trying to win his favor, but Zhang Shizi didn't even look at them, and wanted to call Xiaoyu to serve him. Mother Liu listened, and apologized with a sad face: "Oh, it's a coincidence that Shizi came today, Xiaoyu is teaching the new girl skills in her own room, it is inconvenient to pick up customers today, can Zhang Shizi take a look at other girls?"

"New girl?" Zhang Shizi asked curiously, "The Flower Pavilion has not accepted any new girls in recent years, how did Mother Liu accept one this time?"

"Mother Liu, I am curious when you say this, what kind of beauty can enter the eyes of your Jianghuai Mother Liu, well, when this son comes next time, Mom, you must leave her to me~" The corners of Zhang Shizi's mouth rose slightly, thinking about what kind of girl could make this strict and demanding bustard praise her as a "beauty", and secretly decided that she would meet her next time.

Liu's mother nodded again and again and agreed, and Zhang Shizi called a few ordinary goods to spend the night.

After listening to the "Spring Dawn of the Jade Building" that I had learned, Xiaoyu smiled with satisfaction: "Xiaoqing, you have a very high understanding, and you have played this piece so naturally in just two days and one night, I think you will be able to learn the piano in less than ten days."

I smiled embarrassedly, you must know that I was really a person with incomplete tones before this, I don't know why, probably because my skills are full after coming to this world, this time Xiaoyu taught me to play the guqin I learned very quickly, but Xiaoyu also has half the credit. While thinking about it, I saw Xiaoyu make a pot of tea, pour it into the wine glass, bring a plate of tea to me, and slowly sit down, signaling me to rest for a while, I put away the piano, and couldn't wait to pick up the tea and take a sip, a fragrance drilled into my nose and throat, refreshing people's hearts.

Xiao Yu looked at me and said with a gentle smile: "This is a good dragon well, generally speaking, ordinary people can't drink it." ”

I looked at her, and then looked at the green tea in my hand, the tea leaves were clear and full, and it was indeed of the highest quality, so I mustered up the courage to finally ask my doubts in the past few days: "Xiaoyu, I think you are the same as Qingqi, you and other girls feel different, it is obvious that your conversation and demeanor, and your knowledge and knowledge recognize that it is other women here, and the people outside are not as good as you, why...... Why did you come to this place of fireworks?"

Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly became dim, and her smile stiffened a little bitterly, I thought I should have asked something that I shouldn't have asked, and I just wanted to take it back, but Xiao Yu actually answered me:

"Xiaoqing, before you, no one among the ladies here could see my past, they only knew that I was a Qingqi who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was loved by the guests, but you saw it. Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and continued to recall, "I haven't told anyone about my life experience, you are the first ...... I used to be the eldest daughter of the princes of Anyang City, a big county on the edge of the Xiangjiang River, known as the Zhuan Xi, and lived a carefree life as everyone's daughter, but one day my father suddenly fell seriously ill, and within a few days he drove to the west, and then the family was ruined because there was no man, and I changed my name and surname and was sold here to become a Qinglou woman......" Recalling the past life and the current tragic situation, the huge gap has become a ruthless blade, twisting Xiaoyu's heart fiercely, looking at her in pain, I don't know what to do, I can only comfort: "There is no way to change the past, but now time is being trampled under our feet, if you grasp the present time well, it should not be difficult to do without worrying about food and clothing." ”

Xiao Yu tried hard to collect her emotions, wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Thank you for comforting me, I think I will soon find a home." ”

"Where do you want to be?" I said.

"Yes...... I have fallen in love with Zhang Shizi, the eldest son of Zhang Bohou, and he promised me that at the end of this month, he would come to the Flower Pavilion to redeem me after finishing the trivial affairs of the family. ”

Hearing this, I felt that I was finally about to get to the point, and hurriedly asked: "Are you already getting so good?

Xiao Yu nodded, her petite cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were full of love, I think I really don't want to meddle in this matter, but Xiao Yu is from a famous family after all, she shouldn't be so eyeless, she is fascinated by this Zhang Shizi, there are only two possibilities, one is that this Zhang Shizi is really good, infatuated and single-minded, and the other is ...... This guy talks too much, and Xiaoyu has been deceived by him. Exactly what kind of situation should be left to me to judge for myself. Therefore, in order to get in touch with Zhang Shizi as soon as possible, I practiced my skills more and more, and played alone until late at night, just to find an opportunity to discover clues.

Today was no exception, after coming out of Xiaoyu's wing, I returned to my room, unfolded the guqin, and began to practice the "Long Autumn Night" that I had just learned......

Nine.

Since Bai Xia Ying entered the Flower Pavilion, Ming Shique hadn't seen this little demon for almost ten days, and although he could feel her presence in ten days, he didn't know how she was doing inside. Sometimes he would silently blame himself, if he didn't want to enter this kind of fireworks place, the little demon would not have taken such a risk to sneak into the Flower Pavilion alone. Every night, Ming Shique's mind would appear Bai Xia Ying's playful appearance, until the tenth day, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and got up to find Bai Xia Ying.

It's already a child's time, even the green building is turned off and closed, Ming Shique doesn't want to disturb the little demon to rest, I thought it would be good to fly up to the green tile on the second floor to take a look at her, but unexpectedly the window of Bai Xia Ying's wing room was still bright. Ming Shique leaned to the side, poked his head out slightly and looked at it, his eyes were instantly attracted by the scene in the house-

The woman in the room was dressed in white and snowy, with a long skirt on the ground, three thousand troubles poured down like a waterfall, her chin was bent to her knees, and the yaoqin, which exuded a classical atmosphere, hung down the ears. Plucked the strings with no hands, and the seven strings became more and more flexible under Qianqianyu's hands. The guqin slowly exudes beautiful notes, sometimes like flowing water, sometimes like a spring breeze, when the passionate, soft and integrated together, in the hands of others it seems to be a pair of enemies, and in her hands, it is more like a pair of mandarin ducks, a natural pair.

Is this still the white summer cherry he knows?

Ming Shique looked at the woman in the room in disbelief, his originally cold cheeks turned slightly red, and something in his heart was beating his chest strongly. He quickly pulled his gaze away and turned his back to try to calm himself down. But after a while, he heard the sound of the piano in the room gradually becoming sparse, and then disappeared, Ming Shique turned his head to look inside uncontrollably, and found that Bai Xia Ying was actually lying on the piano and fell asleep.

"What a careless person...... Ming Shique smiled dotingly, and floated into the room to Bai Xia Ying's side, untied his crane and gently covered her body. Looking at this tired and painful jade face, Ming Shique's heart swelled with a sour taste that he had never felt before, he took out a pill from his sleeve and carefully introduced it into Bai Xiaying's mouth, and after seeing that she finally swallowed it, Ming Shique sighed lightly:

"If only the demons were as kind as you. With that, he left.

Ten.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the guqin and my head ached, probably because I fell asleep after practicing yesterday...... I got up and stretched, I felt something slip off my back, I looked back and saw that it was a somewhat familiar crane, looking at the dress for a long time, I realized the owner of the dress.

Ming Shi is missing...... He's the only one I've ever seen. He was here last night?...... His iceberg face came to my mind, and I shivered with coldness. But since I came here, I practiced the piano all day and night, and I didn't see him for ten days, I almost forgot about him, he came to find me first, it seems that this stinky Taoist priest is also a duplicitous man, obviously he still cares about me~

Very good, don't wake me up yet, let me immerse myself in my own YY world for a while.

I have a magical physique, that is, whenever I want to get into trouble, someone will come out to interrupt me, for example, now, Liu's mother pushed the door in. I suddenly came back to my senses, looked at her in a daze, and asked, "Mother Liu, she doesn't have any guests this afternoon...... Why did you come to me?"

Mother Liu looked at me, then at the guqin behind me, and asked, "Xiaoqing, have you been practicing the piano well these days?" I nodded.

"Well, Xiaoyu is sick today, and you can only replace her at night. ”

"What? Xiaoyu is sick??What's the matter?Last night was fine" I felt a little strange, but Liu's mother insisted that it was just a cold, so I didn't ask anymore.

After Liu's mother left, I wanted to go to Xiaoyu's room to see what was going on, but I noticed that there were several maids standing outside her door, and they stopped me and told me that I couldn't go in. This series of actions made me wonder if Xiaoyu was sick at all, but now it seems that I should not be able to contact her, so I can only find another opportunity.

Today is the first time I have come out to pick up guests, and I heard from other women that the guests outside are impatient to hear that I am going to appear today, because I am the only woman that Liu's mother has accepted in the past three years, and everyone wants to know where I am. I've never been treated like this, although I've been a little frightened, but after all, I'm Bai Xia Sakura, and the pampering and humiliating appearance that wants to perform is still difficult for me, and who hasn't seen the "Oiran debut" on TV a few times, so I walked downstairs generously as I imagined, smiled lightly in front of a pair of hungry eyes, picked up the round fan and half-covered her face and said delicately: "The little woman is called Xiaoqing, and I ask you to give me a lot of advice when I first arrive——"

In an instant, there was a boiling underneath, and all kinds of gentlemen held silver taels and wanted me to accompany them. I stood upstairs and looked below, looking for Zhang Shizi's figure, as expected, a person in a gold and silver gown, playing with a folding umbrella with an invincible face, stood out from the crowd and shouted to me: "This little Qing girl, Zhang Chaoji, the first son of Jianghuai Town, has made a private agreement with Liu's mother a few days ago, and I have already bought the first night of today's girl." ”

Listening to this explicit statement, I had nauseated in my heart several times, but in order to get close to him, I had to promise him with a smile: "Mother Liu did tell me about this, and the little woman has been waiting for Zhang Shizi here for a long time. ”

Zhang Shizi heard this, ran upstairs and came to me with a proud face, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and grabbed my waist, looked at me with straight eyes, and said: "Then it is better to be respectful, it is better to obey my fate" After speaking, he took me into the wing.

Some of the people downstairs were unwilling and scolded, and some just sat down to continue to have fun. No one noticed that in a dark corner on the first floor, there were two people standing there looking in the direction that Zhang Shizi had just entered.

One of the red-cloaked men bowed his head and said to another tall man in a white brocade fox fur hexagram:

"Your Highness, this is Bai Xia Ying. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Do we need to go up?"

The man in white waved his hand: "Wait and see." ”
