Volume 1: Spring of Painting Hall Chapter 31: Nosy in Meijing Mansion
A new singing troupe has recently arrived in Mei Jing Lou, singing some poems written by literati, which is very pleasant to listen to.
Qingxi sat and listened for a while, feeling that the female voice was ethereal and moving, so she got up and walked to the railing on the second floor and looked down.
In the middle of the lobby on the first floor stands a young and lovely girl, with a figure as smooth as a flowing cloud, dancing softly to the melodious voice. Behind her sits a young man playing a harp. The girl looks back frequently, although her eyes are not clear,
But Qingxi had a thought: "Looking at these two people, it seems like they were made in heaven."
"How do you know, girl? Maybe they are brother and sister?" Yueying asked with a smile.
Qingxi thought about it, and it was not known that the two of them were brothers and sisters. But she hoped that her guess was correct, that they were Lang Youqing's sister. She was surprised to find that deep down in her heart, she had the most innocent longing for two lovers to be together.
, is this moment of looking at each other.
"Girl, I have a song here, please sing it." Three people approached the singing stage at some point.
The girl standing in the middle is wearing an emerald green gown. She has a graceful figure and does not look like a weak little girl. The two people standing behind her are tall and strong, with a look of inviolability.
The little opera girl took the note in her hand and read it carefully. The man playing the strings behind him also stood up and came closer. After reading the little girl, she handed the note to him, and the two talked in tacit understanding.
After looking at it, the little girl took back the note, walked over to the woman in green, handed it back, and said sheepishly: "Girl, my little girl can't sing your poems, I'm sorry."
"Why?" the woman in green asked calmly.
"This song is simple and easy to understand. It writes about helpless melancholy. Little girls would not sing this kind of song."
Listening to her words, Qingxi didn't understand what she meant, but she also admired in her heart that this songwriter, who was looked down upon by the world, was by no means a vulgar person. Thinking about it, if she didn't understand the meaning of the words,
How to sing a song a hundred times a thousand times.
"I'll double the reward." The woman in green replied expressionlessly.
The little girl shook her head apologetically.
"You don't even want to make money?" The woman in red said calmly, but her eyes turned colder. She looked around and continued: "Meijinglou has a habit of rejecting guests' requests?"
At this time, all the tea guests heard the news, and shopkeeper Hao of Mei Jinglou immediately walked across the aisle and came up from the back hall to smooth things over: "This girl, why don't you sit down and have a sip of tea first? The important thing about listening to music to cultivate your character is a person."
Please be patient and calm." After saying that, he said to the waiter behind him: "I won't show you a seat for these three guests."
The woman in green shirt raised her hand slightly and said coldly: "No need! I just want to listen to the music! The price is not an issue!" After saying that, the person behind him took out his wallet and threw it on the table next to him.
At this time, the man who was pulling the string came forward and bowed respectfully and said: "Girl, my junior sister and I once swore in front of my master that we would not play or recite melancholy words. I hope you will forgive us."
So that’s it, Qingxi thought to herself that this was a strange request.
"What if I insist on asking you to play and sing today?" The woman in green raised her head with an expression that said, "I just want to make things difficult for others."
There was a lot of discussion in Mei Jinglou at this moment, and the two men behind the woman in green were also alert. Seeing this, shopkeeper Hao turned around to discuss with the young man and the girl in the singing class, but they still looked determined.
"Girl, I'm extremely sorry, please forgive us for not being able to sing!" After the man finished speaking, he gave the girl a wink, sat down again, and continued to play the strings.
The woman in green smiled faintly and said to Shopkeeper Hao: "Shopkeeper, today I have seen that the famous Mei Jinglou in Shangdu City is just a shop owner who bullies customers. If one day I meet someone who is not easy to bully.
Customers, if I accidentally ruined your place, I don’t think I will complain.”
The two people behind the woman moved their arms, seemingly eager to try.
At this moment, only a clear voice was heard: "What a loud tone. Under the emperor's feet, there are probably not many people in Shangdu who can arbitrarily destroy others. I wonder what the girl's name is?" Qingxi had already gone downstairs and walked towards the green.
Clothed woman.
The woman looked back and saw the two handsome and extraordinary young men in front of her walking towards her with smiles on their faces. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at them.
Qingxi smiled and said: "Girl, Mei Jing Tower is a place where everyone has tea and chats. Now you have affected my interest. I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
When a man and a woman in the singing class saw someone coming to the rescue, they also stopped singing. The other tea guests started talking one after another.
Qingxi continued: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Since this little brother has already stated his difficulties, why should the girl be aggressive? It's just listening to the music. If this family doesn't sing, you can change to another family."
After Qingxi finished speaking, the other tea guests nodded in agreement, and also had some criticisms of the woman in green.
Seeing this situation, the woman in green was quite calm and said with a smile: "It seems that Mei Jing Tower is very famous. I really have a bit of a rivalry today. What if I just want to listen here! You can take care of your own business.
?”
The two men behind him also cast stern glances at Qingxi, as if they were targeting someone.
"Why, girl, you still want to teach me a lesson? I'm not kidding, I'm afraid you don't have that ability yet!" Qingxi turned around and said loudly to everyone: "We are here just for an elegant and quiet place to chat, this
The girl made a big fuss and disappointed everyone in order to enjoy herself. I'm afraid everyone won't listen to her either!" Then he turned to face her again and said: "I've already taken care of this business. You are all under the emperor's feet! No one can be allowed to ignore it.
Wang Fa, do whatever you want! This is all I have to say, let the girl weigh it for herself!"
At this time, shopkeeper Hao also gathered dozens of store clerks behind him, and his momentum became stronger. Naturally, he spoke with more confidence: "Girl, when we open the door for business, we naturally hope to make a stable profit. If you want to sit down and have a sip of tea today, girl
, listen to a song, we are infinitely welcome. If not, please be considerate and show your respect." The other tea guests could not hold back at this time, and they all said: "Stop causing trouble here, let's go!" "I said,
Don't disturb our interest and choose another place!" "Let's go, let's go!"
The woman in green's expression did not change, she looked around calmly, and her eyes fell on Qingxi again, with a look of understanding in her eyes, and she immediately turned around and led the people behind her to stride out of Meijing Tower.
.
Qingxi was a little confused, so he just left like that? Looking at the girl's aura, she didn't seem like someone who would give up so easily. She was originally ready to have another verbal battle with her. Why did she just leave like that? This really didn't happen.
Beyond her expectation.
The storm subsided and everyone went their separate ways talking about their respective affairs.
Shopkeeper Hao immediately stepped forward and smiled at Qingxi: "This young master seems to come to Meijing Tower often. Today's tea fee is free of charge in the shop!"
Qingxi stared at Yueying and smiled like a flower: "Thank you so much, shopkeeper!"
Shopkeeper Hao has seen countless people, and now looking at these two bright smiling faces, he is even more convinced that they are two women. Speaking of it, Qingxi and Yueying really often visit Mei Jinglou, sometimes wearing men's clothing, sometimes beauties.
There are really countless tea-goers coming and going from Meijinglou. If it hadn't been for such a commotion today, I'm afraid Shopkeeper Hao wouldn't have noticed them. However, as the guests see more, their eyesight will naturally improve, and others will
Although he couldn't see through the clothes, he could tell something after just a moment's observation. Shopkeeper Hao saw the clues and smiled knowingly: "From now on, the two young masters will only say a word when they come, and the store will be properly arranged."
A man and a woman singing the lyrics also came forward and bowed. The man said, "This young man spoke uprightly. My junior sister and I would like to express our gratitude here."
Qingxi waved her hands hurriedly: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. You don't have to be polite, sir!"
"It's a trivial matter for Young Master, but it may be a matter of settling down and settling down our lives for us!" The man smiled heartily, and the junior sister next to him looked at her silently, with a charming smile on her face.
Qingxi could tell just by looking at him that his senior brother and sister probably had a deep and extraordinary affection.
"However, I am also very curious, why does the master not allow you to sing the words of farewell? This is also a novel statement!"
"It's a long story! But it's also some personal reasons. I feel a little sorry for the young lady just now." The man obviously didn't want to say more.
Qingxi didn't force herself too much, she wasn't that interested in the story yet.
Yueying stepped forward and gently pulled her sleeves and said: "Master, we have been out for a while, it's time to go back home!"
Qingxi nodded and said to the shopkeeper and the man and woman singing: "Then thank the shopkeeper for his generosity today. Come back to listen to music and drink tea someday!"
Qingxi didn't know that there were two people in the private room on the third floor of Meijing Building who were paying attention to every move downstairs. After watching them leave Meijing Building, the two of them also walked to the window of the private room.
Look at their happy and light backs.
"Is she always like this?" Xiao Yizheng asked lightly.
Standing next to the voice was Ling Qingsong. He had been following Qingxi's footsteps and didn't realize that someone was asking him. When he realized it, he hurriedly turned to look at him, only to see the face of the person who asked the question.
His eyes were still staring in that direction without moving. In order to hear the question clearly, he could only ask: "What do you ask, Your Highness?"
"She is always so reckless in fighting injustices!"
Qingsong smiled helplessly: "Qingxi has that kind of chivalrous spirit, and sometimes she can be quite willful, but she knows what's appropriate and rarely puts herself in dangerous situations."
"Really? Not necessarily this time!"
Xiao Yizheng waved his sleeve and pointed, and Qingsong looked along. The woman in green and her two men were following Qingxi and Yueying, but Qingxi and Yueying were completely unaware of it, chatting and laughing all the way.
"Your Highness!" Qingsong exclaimed, he was afraid that Qingxi would suffer. If Xiao Yizheng hadn't stopped him just now, he would have rushed downstairs to protect Qingxi!
Xiao Yizheng turned around and put down the purple sand cup in his hand, "Let's go!"
