Chapter 12 Seigniorage

"Look at Xianting, this is my new "Ya Le"." Qu Liu said, holding a collection of music in his hand, "Are you looking for me?"

"My brother is looking for you, and your sister found it." Yan Tiao took a look at the "Ga Le", then turned to find a piano score called "Wind and Thunder", and showed it to Qu Liu, "You are here for a while." Wait a minute, he will be there in a while. Take this "Fenglei" and read it. It contains 36 pieces of music played by Mr. Zong Yuan on the Fenglei Qin."

"That must be a song that is in the sky and not on the ground. I must study it carefully, thank you." Qu Liu said, his eyes never taking his eyes off the fly, and he looked a little silly.Qu Liu took this "Ya Le" he wrote to Xian Ting, just like giving it to a teacher for trial.

"This is your new writing?" Xianting frowned as soon as she turned one page, as if she saw some incongruent tone, and raised her hand to turn the second page.

"It was written by me a month ago. It's not perfect, and my voice might be better. Shall I sing it for you?" Qu Liu frowned when he looked at Xian Ting, and said in a guilty conscience.

"Forget it, I still don't read it, you go back and calibrate it, I scanned it roughly, and found that the lyrics and music still lack a lot of polish," Hua Ting shook her head, "You always write as if you were talking, making noise. Why is it still called Yale this time? If you have such a high evaluation, if the writing is not good, you will be embarrassed. "

"I know what I wrote might be a little bad, but my voice is good. I changed it six times. This song is really not bad. Listen to it."

As soon as Qu Liu opened her voice, Xianting was a little stunned. For a moment, it seemed like that was the case, as if it was written by Ge Ling's ancestors. However, this song can't stand careful listening. The inflection is also out of tune. It's not a sound problem, but an arrangement problem.The voice of the song is rare in the singing spirits, but the ability to write songs is really weak.

Xianting frowned: "Wow, Qu Liu, you really wasted such a good voice." Thinking that this talent is also distributed evenly, those who have strengths must have weaknesses.

The sensitive Quliu stopped singing when he heard the words of Xianting, and lowered his head in despair.When Xianting saw it, she was also annoyed that she could express what she was thinking out of her heart.Once the words were spoken, there was no reason to take them back, and the two of them sat silently, the air stagnant for a while.

"I heard Qu Liu's singing all the way, why did it stop?" Xian Zhi walked in, first saw the depressed Qu Liu, and then saw that her sister was a little embarrassed, so she thought, "Little Ting, are you joking again? "

"That's right, I'm talking nonsense." Xianting realized that he had said something wrong, took the opportunity to apologise, and changed the topic a little helplessly, "Brother, didn't you say you found Sister Qu Bing? "

"I found her, she is in Shenxie Pavilion." Xianzhi said, "The Quelu people spent five days inquiring over Fenghua City, and finally saw Qu Bing in the secluded room of Shenxie Pavilion."

"Then when can we save my sister?" Qu Liu asked, turning his attention to business.After all, he is a child, and he is a pure-hearted person. Even if he has anger in his heart, he will not hide it for a long time.

"This, we have to wait, listen to Mr. Jing and their plans," said Xianzhi, "We can't go on our own initiative, your sister Qu Bing can save her life, no matter how weak she is, those individuals will be hurt together. You can rest assured if you don't have her. At present, the battle spirit clan, the life spirit clan, and the main guard spirit clan are all ready to go, and now everyone is waiting for an opportunity."

"I have already prepared, and I will listen to everyone's dispatch at any time." After hearing what her brother said, Xianting felt a fighting spirit in her heart, and she looked at Qu Liu with confidence and said, "You are a member of the Songling Clan, and Linghui is another one. Wait a minute, let's put the idea of ​​attacking and composing idle songs for a while. Our Songling Clan should also practice the songs for preparing for war within the clan, don't hold back, what do you think?"

"I'll practice now." Don't worry about anything else, Qu Liu was overjoyed when he heard Xian Ting praise him "First Class One".

"Don't worry, let's practice this one first." Xuanting took out another sheet music, called "Hongxue Fate", and stuffed it into Qu Liu's hands.Qu Liu looked at it, and read a poem by Su Zi inscribed on the title page: "Everywhere in life knows what it is like, it should be like Feihong stepping on the slush. If there are fingers and claws on the mud, Hongfei will reckon with things."

"The mood and flavor in this score can open up your imagination. If you practice more, there are only advantages and no disadvantages." Xianting explained.

That idiot, Qu Liu, now only respects the flies as a teacher.

The evil bandits were recruited from the Evian Museum to be responsible for robbing the children, and the business of the Tiaoren Gang was not good.There was no income, and he couldn't afford to support idlers. In order to save money, the steward dismissed Lei Zi's few recent chores.Lei Zi has now become a person with nothing to do, but the guilt of "killing children" is much less.

On the other hand, because the Evian Museum is very popular with people and people, there are full of people pouring into Fenghua City every day. Naturally, there are not enough people in the carriage shop. During the day and night, all the people go to work, and there are not enough for these high-profile customers. pastime.

So, after being dismissed by the Tiaoren Gang, Lei Zi paid attention to the shortage of this trade, and went to the carriage shop to try his luck.As soon as I was a beginner, I called three or four people above and reported my name.In less than half a day, he was requisitioned, and the steward gave Lei Zi to work after a brief statement.

Lei Zi was amazed that the speed of the recruitment was really fast, and he didn't think about it.Life also has a head start.

Chen Mi, his son Tao Qianqian and a group of relatives and servants came out of the Tao Mansion in Taojiang City, on the way to Qing Oi City, passing through Huihukou.Before asking Chen Mi: "Mother, why are we leaving? Daddy is still at Uncle Lian's house."

Chen Mi bowed her head and did not speak, feeling very annoyed.Chen's mother said: "Your father, you need to recuperate, and come when you are ready. Don't bother your mother."

"It's really stuffy in the sedan chair." Chen Mi said, and then pulled back the sedan curtain.She heard Tao Qianqian's words and ignored her son.I want to play the role of a virtuous person since marrying into Tao Mansion, without arguing or making trouble, and there is nothing wrong with it. I just want a stable and smooth family, and a happy and harmonious family.

Now that her husband's pottery factory is not up to the standard, and she is not clean with the Suoying women, she has a faint grievance in her heart, but she is not good at revealing a single star, and tells her son and domestic servants to joke.

Chen Mi's eyes were a little wet, and she looked out the window to avoid the eyes of her son and Chen's mother. She happened to see a group of people hurriedly passing by, heading for Fenghua City.These people are wearing Hague National Guard uniforms and well-trained. I don't know what's going on?Thinking about it has nothing to do with him, Chen Mi fastened the curtain on the sedan window and didn't think about it.

In fact, it was Mrs. Hua, the owner of Fenghua City. She reported to the center of The Hague about the city's affairs as usual half a year ago. The Hague Royal Court was also worried when they learned of these illegitimate transactions in Fenghua City.But knowing that I know, but there is no action for a long time, and it has been delayed until now.The counter-call that Shenxie Pavilion and Evian Pavilion became bigger in turn, and now they have harmed many people, and the momentum is intensifying.

Madam Hua, who has not received any substantial response from the Royal Court of The Hague, is also anxious: Will the people in the city be swayed by the few families who are making money?

At the same time, she was also angry: the arrogant salt country was destroyed, and the royal court of The Hague did not pay attention to the people, and did not take it to heart.

So a few months ago, Mrs. Hua made another proposal to the Royal Court of The Hague. In order to limit the current flow, she wanted to collect taxes from everyone who came to Fenghua City. I respect the Hague authorities to initiate: the order of seigniorage, everyone who comes to Fenghua City , to pay the seigniorage tax of one thousand gold knives first.

The Royal Court of The Hague saw that this was to limit the influx of illicit transactions in The Hague, and secondly, there were taxes to be collected, so it immediately granted permission and ordered a group of people to fly through Fenghua City to cooperate with Madam Hua's actions.

"Where are they?" Mrs. Hua asked.

"Currently at Huihukou." Liu Jun replied.

"There are taxes to pay, so come quickly." Mrs. Hua sneered.

There is one person missing from Shenxie Pavilion, and there is no change at all, just like a small shrimp missing in the sea.After Xianglian left, the careful Xiangyue felt that Xiangyu had something to hide in her heart, and she was stuffy all day, and her mind became heavier and heavier.

Xiangyue has always cared about these sisters and sisters, and she has nothing to say about how she treats people.After discovering Xiangyu's strangeness, she also took time to talk to Xiangyu every day. After going back and forth, Xiangyue asked about the snake-shaped birthmark and the golden reed grass.

"Since this thing is useful to our clan, I will find a way to get more." Xiangyue said: "It is difficult to find a way to transport it out when you get it. The smell can't be hidden. , it will bring misfortune to us.”

"Well, then I will have a way." Xiangyu said.

"I'm really sweating about Xianglian's pregnancy. Now that I'm gone, I'm relieved." Xiangyue said, "You say that person is reliable, is that true?"

"Among the two people who came that day, there was a girl I knew who worked as a slave together when they were out of Qiaocheng." Xiangyu said, "Now she seems to be getting along well, I think she treats people well. "

"That's good, Xianglian is a good place to go." Xiangyue said.

The old man Min who collected the corpse in Fenghua City had a fierce wife.Mrs. Min received the old man's money every day.All the money in Old Man Min's hands was looted by Old Man Min.

On this day, Mrs. Min saw that the old man's pocket was empty and there was nothing to loot, so she lost her temper, beat and kicked the old man, and drove the old man out of the house.

The depressed old man couldn't bear the humiliation at home, so he stared at his subordinate Xiaoguang.

"Let me see your pocket." Old Man Min said to Xiaoguang.

How dare Xiaoguang say no, he will give it to Old Man Min with his pocket, for fear of being beaten again.

"Leave ten pieces for you." Old Man Min said, "The rest will be yours to honor your grandfather." He put ten pieces of silver in Xiaoguang's hand, and poured the rest into his pocket, which was then thrown away. Back to Xiaoguang.

Xiaoguang's fingers clenched tightly, pinching his palm.
