Chapter 21: The Phantom Hall Master (Part II)
The candlelight is warm, and the dark incense flows.
The sound of the piano in the orchid room is melodious and tactful, like a mountain stream meandering, clear and clear, soothing and continuous, and it looks particularly elegant and refined in the noisy and flashy, full of glamorous sounds.
At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers.
The boy in white stroked his palm and praised: "Ruolan girl's piano skills are exquisite, the original song "Flower Drunk Moon" was a little lonely and unhappy, but after the girl's slender hand was slightly changed, it was ethereal and free, and the artistic conception was even more lofty, making people feel like listening to the sounds of heaven and being intoxicated. ”
Ruolan smiled and lightly opened her lips: "Gongzi Qin has won the award." In terms of piano skills, Gongzi is a real expert, and Ruolan is just an axe. Under the guidance of Meng Gongzi before, Ruolan had the courage to slightly change the tune of "Flower Drunken Moon", and now Ruolan also likes this tune very much.
"But Zhang's mother is not happy, she chatters some gossip every day, saying that Ruolan is not self-conscious, and the people who linger in this flower street and willow lane are all here for fun, they just covet my beauty, how can they sincerely listen to me play the piano and sing music. I have the leisure to ponder tunes, but I might as well think about how to please my guests, and ask for more rewards, so that I will not have a hard time in my old age. ”
"When Zhang's mother brought me over, her face was vaguely unhappy when she talked and laughed, presumably because I often talked about the piano with Miss Ruolan, and I also heard that Miss Ruolan often used the excuse of being unwell recently to close the door to thank guests, and it turned out that she was figuring out the piano score. Although Zhang's mother's words are not popular, there is some truth in them. She has been in this industry for decades, and she has already seen everything clearly, although she treats you as a cash cow, she still has a little love for you, so she is so verbose with you. ”
Ruolan was sold into the Qinglou since she was a child, learned piano, chess, singing and dancing, learned poetry and etiquette, and began to perform on stage at the age of thirteen, and it has been five years in the blink of an eye. Although he has always insisted on selling his art and not selling his body, he also knows that sooner or later he will become a plaything like other sisters. If you are lucky, you will be taken as a concubine by a wealthy merchant Jana in the future, and you will be freed from this sea of suffering, and the rest will probably be swept away in old age, and there will be nowhere to live......"
Ruolan sighed lightly, and there seemed to be fog in her eyes: "Being in the Qinglou, Ruolan has already accepted her fate, but it is only in the past six months that she has met her son, and Ruolan believes that there is really such a humble gentleman in the world." can discuss music with her son, talk about the past and the present, Ruolan also feels a little less tacky, and she is full of joy all day long...... Childe said goodbye this time, I don't know when I will meet each other, Ruolan thought about it again and again, if Childe does not dislike Ruolan's lowly background, Ruolan ...... Ruolan is willing to redeem herself and serve her son, and being a slave and a maid is far better than smiling here. ”
"Ahem......" Qin Gongzi was drinking tea from the porcelain cup, who expected Ruolan to say such a thing, choked on the tea, and only relieved after a while, "Miss Ruolan is so loving, Qin Zhong is grateful, but in the next reckless world, she lives a life of wandering all over the world and licking blood from the knife, and she never dares to drag the girl down......"
Ruolan only said that Gongzi was different from those people, and she originally looked down on Ruolan for her low background, but she blamed Ruolan for not being self-conscious, she shouldn't have so many thoughts, and she was abrupt of Gongzi. Ruolan turned her head away to prevent Qin Chong from seeing the tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Ruolan ......" Qin Chong was a little helpless, this situation was a bit tricky.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door several times, and then a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl flashed in, wearing a floral light green dress, with a bun on her head, and apricot eyes flowing on her round pink face, revealing her wit and cuteness.
"Childe, Elder Yan is back, waiting downstairs. The little girl stood on the side of the door and looked at Qin again.
Qin Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since Uncle Yan is here, you can invite him to come up with him, why bother to make another trip." ”
Ruolan wiped away her tears, leaned over and said, "Ruolan will retire first, and then play for the public later." ”
"Uncle Yan is looking for me at this time, there must be something urgent, you go and rest, if it's still early later, I'll ask Xiao Yan to invite the girl." ”
Ruolan turned around and walked away, met Yan Lao at the door, and bowed to herself, and Yan Lao ignored it and went to the inner room.
"Uncle Yan is back, it's been hard all the way, sit down and talk. In the orchid room, Qin Chong sat precariously and took a sip of tea to pay a lot of respect to Yan Lao's words.
"The young master is a noble person, and he really shouldn't linger in such a place of fireworks. The old and cold voice of the black-robed old man had a little warmth.
"Teahouses, hotels, gambling houses, green buildings, dragons and snakes are mixed, and people from three religions and nine streams are gathered, so it is naturally much easier to find out the news. Besides, the people who come here are nothing more than looking for pleasure, drinking and prostituting, although the description is ugly and the form is obscene, but it also avoids a lot of unnecessary trouble, and Feng'er is safer here. ”
"That being said, the young master is ......"
"This matter has its own measure, Uncle Yan doesn't have to worry about it. Qin Zhong poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yan Lao, "What's going on over there at the Golden Lion Dart Bureau?"
"The old people in the Ezhou branch have all been sent away, Di Lao'er and Xiaoma and his party did not fight with the officers and soldiers, they have already returned to the inspection department with Lei Fang, and the old man has come to report and ask the son to show me. ”
Qin Zhong played with the teacup in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "If you tie your hands, you can retreat as advance, and they are not stupid." It's just that in this way, I can't ask for it, and when they figure it out, I've already made up my mind. ”
"Childe is clever, and there are many rumors in the rivers and lakes that are exaggerated, and Xiaoma and others are just like that. ”
"Have you discovered the identities of those people who appeared with Di Ren?"
"It's strange to say, one is Sun Wuya's descendant disciple, the other is the descendant of Elder Niansong, the other is Murong Yuntian's daughter, plus a pony of unknown origin, who has turned the world upside down in Tianmu Mountain, but not much is known about them in the rivers and lakes,"
"Master Cao Tang is cautious and resourceful, "Bloody Ice Palm" alone in the rivers and lakes, he has secretly developed and operated the Blood Hall in Zhejiang for more than ten years, and his power is in full swing, but he is still planted under the hands of this person, Uncle Yan thinks that who in the Phantom Hall has such ability?
"There have been several encounters along the way, although we can't do our best, and the people we sent out are all masters from a hundred, but every time we lose our troops and fall short, which shows how terrible this person is. If he can be used by me, the Phantom Hall will be tantamount to a tiger with wings, otherwise I will definitely find a way to eradicate him to prevent future troubles. ”
Lei Fang put some pressure on him, trapped Di Ren, and ordered him to go down and get Mr. Di into a life lawsuit, and the court ordered a strict investigation and the news of shutting down the Golden Lion Dart Bureau spread. I believe that in a few days, it will spread all over the rivers and lakes, the Golden Lion Dart Bureau will fall, and the remaining four of the alliance, Hu Yanzhi, the master of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, have returned to my Phantom Hall, Wang Ziyang of the Wantong Dart Bureau, Song Yan of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and Zhang Erbao of the Xinhai Dart Bureau are not a problem. ”
