Volume 4 The Triumphant Building

When he came out, it was late, and Ming Xuan found a nearby inn to settle down.

Ming Xuan didn't want to cause trouble, but he couldn't get used to the old man's nonsense, and in terms of reason, there was really nothing wrong with Mochizuki Tower, although it was too fierce for the old man, but it was also a helpless move after several times, so Ming Xuan secretly threw the chopsticks and helped Li Yutang capture the old man and end the farce.

The sky is getting dark, and the bright city is lit with lanterns everywhere, just like day, and the flow of people everywhere is already bustling, and it is worthy of the name of the bright city.

It was still early, and after a full meal and a rest, Mingxuan's fatigue gradually subsided, and he couldn't sit still in the house, so he went out to hang out.

Here, there seems to be no difference between day and night, the shops are still open, and the sound of hawking is no different from that during the day, but there are more people traveling than during the day, and there is leisure to go out after a busy day of business travel.

"Guest officer, you really know the goods, this cotton coat is the latest style of our store, it is really the finest fluff, don't look at it is not very thick, but it can be warmed when you wear it, and it does not look bloated, even if it is winter, it is enough to wear such a piece!" Ming Xuan walked into a clothing store, and the store immediately sold him, with a large flow of people, and the business in the store was not bad.

"Shop, are our custom-made leather jackets ready?" Before Ming Xuan could speak, a crisp female voice interrupted their conversation, and it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who spoke.

"It's done, it's done, it's been done a long time ago! We give priority to everything in the proud building!" replied with a smile.

"Well, then I'll send it over tonight, it's getting colder and colder, and my young lady can't stand the cold. After saying that, the girl left straight away, as if she were an old patron here.

"Proud Building?" Ming Xuan sounded familiar, and didn't react for a while.

"Hehe, it's the first time the guest officer has come to Liangcheng. Seeing this scene, the store quipped.

"Because you haven't been to the Proud Building?" Ming Xuan already remembered.

"Hehe, this place is worth a visit for the guest officer. The shopkeeper said mysteriously.

"I'm not interested in this. Ming Xuan smiled faintly.

"If the guest officer thinks that the proud building is just a place of skin and flesh, it is very wrong. Seeing Mingxuan's expression, the store immediately understood.

"Oh, isn't it?" Ming Xuan was a little curious, he could find this kind of place in almost all cities, but Ming Xuan hadn't set foot in it, so he didn't know it very well, and he didn't necessarily have a little curiosity in his heart.

"There is indeed this deal in the proud building, but it is not necessarily, the piano art and singing in the proud building are also a must, looking at the appearance of the guest officer, it should also be an elegant person, so go to see if it is not wrong. "The shopkeeper's mind turned very fast, and the wind immediately turned around.

"Oh, I've never set foot in such a place, I don't know, I laughed. Mingxuan apologized for his misunderstanding.

"The guest officer is polite, let's take the little cui girl just now, she is the maid of the famous Haoyue girl, the Haoyue girl is the Oiran of this Moon Tower, she looks like the fairy in the painting, and she doesn't sell her body, she has to do a lot of business with us all year round!"

"Then I'm really going to see it, the store wraps up the clothes, I want it." "It's okay anyway, and it's not a bad thing to go shopping.

Proud building is not far from the clothing store, otherwise it will not come here to do business, it is in the most prosperous part of the bright city, I don't know because of the prosperity here to settle here, or because of the settlement here to make this prosperous, the proud building is a gorgeous attic, there are five floors high, the colorful flags flutter, the lanterns are hanging, the light is bright, magnificent, you can hear the endless sound of silk and bamboo and the laughter of men and women.

Entering the hall door, a lively scene came into view, everywhere was full of lights, the men put down all the shelves and laughed to their heart's content, the women were scantily dressed, and the men beside them greeted each other without formality, making Mingxuan, who had just set foot here, uncomfortable, and turned his head to prepare to leave.

"Yo, what a handsome son! Welcome! Welcome! Is the son here to come to sing and dance, or to taste the piano?" An old bustard greeted him, and when he saw Ming Xuan's expression, he immediately classified him, and his eyes were very poisonous.

"Let's take a look at the piano. Ming Xuan pondered for a moment and replied, he was not very good at things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it was the same for him.

"Do you know a girl?" the old bustard looked at Ming Xuan carefully, making him uncomfortable.

"No, just listen to it!" Ming Xuan just wanted to leave now.

"Okay, Childe, please follow me up to the third floor. For Mingxuan's "chick", the old bustard naturally knew that he was uncomfortable, so he didn't say much, and went straight to arrange.

The old bustard is naturally familiar with this business, and soon brought Mingxuan to a room, which is divided into two rooms inside and outside with a screen, the outer room is a hall, and the inner room is a bedroom.

"Childe wait a while, the girls will come later, there will be a total of five, Childe can pick at will, if you are not satisfied, you can change it." After the old bustard finished with a meaningful smile, he slowly withdrew.

Seeing the old bustard leaving, Ming Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, poured himself a cup of tea, and poured himself a sip to wake himself up.

"I can't imagine that I, a cultivator, would actually sneak into such a place of wind and moon, it's really unbelievable. Ming Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that it is not a good thing to be too curious.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and five girls slowly walked in, each carrying a pair of pianos, dressed up in a fancy, Yanhuan fat and thin everything, which can meet the preferences of different guests, when Mingxuan looked at them curiously, they were also curiously looking at Mingxuan, secretly sending Qiubo, which made Mingxuan very embarrassed, lowered his head, and his face was slightly hot, which made the girls laugh for a while, and the atmosphere was even more embarrassing.

"Childe, do you have a fancy for the sisters among us?" said a girl sweetly, breaking the dilemma.

"I'm here for the piano, I have no other meaning, which sister thinks she is good at the piano and stays. After all, Ming Xuan is a cultivator, and his concentration is beyond the ability of ordinary people, and after a short period of embarrassment, he gradually regained his mind and became indifferent.

Seeing that the guests suddenly expressed Xiàn so calmly, but the girls couldn't figure out his intentions for a while, but they were a little hesitant, this kind of guests are generally more generous, but the requirements are also higher, in case they will be wrong, they don't serve well, then it will be self-defeating,.

"Childe, wait a minute, we have a sister with better piano skills in the future, so let's call her. The five of them made a slight eye contact, bowed and walked away in a knowing manner.

After a while, another girl came, compared to the five girls just now, this one was dressed much simpler, and there was no flattery in the posture, but the appearance was a little cold, as soon as she came in, she sat down straight, debugging her piano skills, neither introducing herself nor greeting Mingxuan, but she was with Mingxuan's intentions, so as not to be embarrassed.

"What tune does the guest officer want to hear?" After the debugging, the girl said lightly, not even looking at Ming Xuan from beginning to end.

"Whatever, you can play whatever you like. "Mingxuan doesn't know what music scores, so he just follows the girl's wishes.

"Then let's have a song of Guanglingsan. The girl didn't say much, but played softly.

I saw that the girl's slender jade fingers flicked slightly, and a beautiful song came slowly, I have to say that the girl's piano skills are really good, even laymen like Mingxuan can listen to it with taste, and in the aftertaste, the song has come to an end.

"I'm a layman, I don't know much about the piano, but the girl plays really well. Ming Xuan said with admiration.

"Thank you, guest officer, for the compliment. I heard too many similar words, and the girl's reaction was very indifferent.

However, I think the lyrics and music seem too tragic for the girl to play. Ming Xuan savored the feeling just now.

"Oh, why does Childe think so?" the girl was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Ming Xuan, her eyes seemed to be a little more lively.

"I don't understand this, it's just a personal feeling, this song has a sense of a strong man going to death, it's too tragic. Ming Xuan thought about it and said truthfully.

"Then I'll change the track, and Childe will listen to it again. The corners of the girl's mouth twitched, and she slowly played again.

This time it is a passionate song, there is a sonorous feeling, the beginning of the breeze blowing the water, the middle of the breeze and waves, the end of the stormy waves, a song, very happy.

"The lyrics and music are very happy! The girl's piano skills are very admired!" Ming Xuan admired from the bottom of his heart.

"What does Childe think of this song, but there are some shortcomings. The girl turned a blind eye to Ming Xuan's admiration.

"Uh...... I don't know if I'm right, this piece is played very smoothly and very pleasantly, but it also seems to be too smooth, lacking some ups and downs, and a little less flavorful. Ming Xuan struggled to organize the language, and commenting on music was really not his forte.

"Although I don't know if Childe really understands the art of the piano, what Childe said is indeed a deficiency in the song. The girl said softly, a faint smile on her face.

"I really don't understand this, which makes the girl laugh. Ming Xuan took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, turned around and prepared to leave, so as not to be embarrassed, and was also a little unhappy with the girl's repeated suspicions.

"Childe doesn't want to listen to another song, or I can introduce a better luthier. Seeing that Mingxuan was so honest, the girl was embarrassed.

"The girl is too worried, I also came to this proud building by accident, and I don't know what piano art calligraphy and painting, just to see and see. Ming Xuan said lightly.

"Most of the men who come here are greedy for joy, isn't the son?" It turned out that the girl had always thought that Mingxuan came to have fun like others, but she was just pretending to be elegant.

"Without thinking about it, the girl took her leave!" Ming Xuan smiled faintly, and without arguing, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Childe, wait, the little woman still has something to say. The girl stopped Ming Xuan again.

"What else is the matter with the girl?" Ming Xuan replied lightly.

"I have a sister, the piano skills are better, but I have never met someone who knows the music, now I see that the son knows so much about the piano, can you move to enjoy another song, I don't charge the son a penny, the right to make an apology, don't refuse. The girl said apologetically, and without waiting for Ming Xuan to speak, she opened the door and bowed down to lead the way.
