The shopkeeper of Mingde Building is in a good mood recently.
Since Miss Xue came here, the restaurant has been packed every day, and he is very happy when he settles the accounts every day.
Look, early in the morning, the lobby downstairs was full of people.
"Where is Miss Xue?" he asked the noble man first.
The waiter smiled and said: "I'm dressing up! I want to thank you for our warm hospitality and I'm going to play a new song today."
The shopkeeper was so happy that he rubbed his hands together: "Okay! Miss Xue's new song used to be a sensation in the capital, but this time we actually got a head start. Mingdelou's reputation may spread to other places."
The waiter smiled and said: "The news has spread to other places! Look, shopkeeper, the customer over there is from Yongcheng. I heard that Miss Xue is here, so I came here to meet her."
The shopkeeper laughed: "Okay! In a few days, maybe people from the Dongjiang River will come, and then the reputation of our Mingde Building will really be gone."
"Congratulations to the shopkeeper, congratulations to the shopkeeper!"
The shopkeeper waved his hand: "It's time to congratulate the boss."
The waiter said: "The boss has made money, don't you, the shopkeeper, also get dividends? You may be promoted in the future."
The shopkeeper's face glowed brightly and he nodded: "You guys are so good at talking. Okay, hurry up and pack up. Don't keep Miss Xue waiting for too long."
"yes."
By noon, word spread throughout Nanyuan that Miss Xue was going to release a new song. The Mingde Building was packed, all the private rooms on the second floor were booked, and the lobby on the first floor was full.
"Come on, come on, Miss Xue is here." Bang Xian, who was guarding the entrance to the back garden, shouted.
Hearing the news, the lobby became noisy, and the guests turned their heads and looked over.
Xue Rui was dressed plainly and elegantly today, wearing a sky-blue shirt and skirt, with only a few accessories on his body, a thin layer of makeup on his face, and an indifferent expression.
If someone didn't know this, they would have thought she was a lady from a certain family, and would never have guessed that she was a trick.
Then some people who came here in admiration praised her: "So this is Miss Xue. She is indeed a talented woman with eyebrows swept over her eyebrows. Her charm is extraordinary."
The guest next to him answered: "Of course. She is also from a noble family. If her elders had not done something wrong, she would be a noble girl now. How can we see her?"
"I mean, you're lucky to be able to catch a glimpse of it."
Amidst the praise, Xue Ru went up to the high platform holding the pipa.
She didn't say anything, just gave her a gentle blessing, and the hall fell into silence.
Xue Ru then lowered her eyebrows and plucked the strings, with a cool expression, and sang slowly. Her voice was clear and beautiful, and the melody was melodious. Just a few words made people enchanted.
The song ended and there was silence for a long time before someone shouted: "Okay!"
Then there was thunderous applause, and the reward money was poured out like water.
The shopkeeper smiled proudly.
After today's song, Mingde Tower will surely spread throughout the north and south along with Miss Xue's name.
Just as the shopkeeper was thinking about it, the waiter who was waiting outside ran in in a panic and shouted: "Shopkeeper, it's not good, it's not good!"
The shopkeeper was furious, picked up the account book and hit the clerk on the head, shouting: "If you have something to say, what do you mean it's not good? Do you know how to speak?"
The waiter was a little confused by the knock, and he apologized: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake." After thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "No, shopkeeper, it's really bad!"
The shopkeeper looked sideways, but didn't take it seriously: "What's the matter?"
Mingde Building's business is so good now, and the princes and counties come to visit it frequently, so what else can happen?
The waiter said: "The princess is here, the car is just outside!"
"King..." the shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed, "Princess of Nan'an County?"
The clerk nodded repeatedly. There was only one princess in Nanyuan, and of course it was her!
The shopkeeper's heart was aroused. This princess of the county had always followed the rules and rarely came out, let alone patronized a place like a restaurant, where dragons and snakes mixed together. Why did she suddenly appear here?
Before he could figure it out, the princess's maid had already come in and said, "Sir, our princess would like to rest here for a while. Is there a private room?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly forced out a smile and said: "It turns out that the princess of the county is here. I'm a little disappointed to welcome her from afar. The girl will wait for a while, and I will go to prepare the private room immediately."
Other guests also noticed the car driving outside and whispered to each other.
"Who is this? What a grand ceremony."
"That's the guard of the county prince's palace! Could it be the county prince?"
"That's not right. In the past, when the prince came, he would only bring a few followers."
The shopkeeper quickly cleared a room, and the maid helped the princess get out of the car. Only then did everyone realize that it was the princess who rarely went out.
The princess did not stay outside and quickly entered the private room surrounded by her maids.
The shopkeeper was about to ask for advice when the maid of the palace came again to send a message: "I heard that a Miss Xue has come to Mingde Tower. Her pipa skills are famous in the capital. Our princess has been famous for a long time. I wonder if she has such an ear. Listen to Miss Xue playing.
previous piece?"
Xue Rucai got off the stage and went to the rest room to drink tea. Hearing the message, he frowned.
The maid next to her was worried: "Girl, what is this princess doing here? Is it just to listen to you play the pipa?"
Xue Ru put down the tea cup and stood up calmly: "It doesn't matter, just play a song if she likes it."
She has never seen anything in the capital, so why should she be afraid of a mere county princess?
Seeing Xue Ru take the stage again, cheers erupted in the Mingde Building.
Xue Ru looked indifferent and turned a blind eye, playing the pipa indifferently.
After the song was played, the princess's words came out again in the private room: "This song has been playing around for three days. Miss Xue is indeed both talented and beautiful. Please enjoy it!"
Later, the maid from the palace came down holding the reward. The treasure was dazzling, but it was a pearl hairpin.
Someone praised: "It is indeed a treasure of the royal palace. With such luster, it must be the pearl of the South China Sea. The princess is so generous."
Some people also wondered: "The princess of the county suddenly came here just to listen to this piece of music and give her a pearl hairpin?"
Why does it feel weird?
Xue Rucai over there accepted the reward, but frowned even more.
She seemed to know what the princess was going to do.
Sure enough, the county princess spoke again.
"Miss Xue is so talented, no wonder the prince is thinking about her. I thought I would see a charming woman, but unexpectedly, Miss Xue is so extraordinary and makes people sympathize with her. Over the past month or so, the prince has come to meet me many times, and to meet her.
It's hard to separate and let go. You are so sincere and sincere, and I feel sorry for the prince, so how can I bear to beat the two of you? Therefore, I came here to invite Miss Xue to go back to the prince's palace with me."
