bastard seizes tang

Chapter 243

After a stick of incense, with the sound of a cappella in the arena, everyone in the Yanyu Building had been waiting for a long time, Qin Ji Xianniang, that is, Xiao Yuexian, finally came.

Immortal Xiaoyue, as her name suggests, wore a moon-white smokey dress and a half-moon bun on her head. She arrived like a moon girl in a fairy palace, and immediately won a burst of applause.

On the curved platform in front of the inner hall, Li Ke was sitting in the middle of the private room, with the door open, looking down, Xiao Yuexian was sitting upright, just like Li Ke when he first met on the canal, facing The house is full of benefactors, but she can bloom in front of everyone like a white lotus, as if all the filth in the world of mortals has nothing to do with her.

Xiao Yuexian sat down on the Qutai, pressed the strings with his hands, and the originally noisy lobby suddenly became quiet, and with the slight movement of Xiao Yuexian's fingertips, a piece of music came out.

Although Li Ke was not good at playing the piano, thanks to his knowledge, his hearing was not bad. Xiao Yuexian's music was just beginning, and Li Ke knew what she was playing.

It was different from the first meeting on the canal and the reception banquet. Today we are in a brothel, so naturally it is not suitable to play Hua Xu Yin and Lu Ming Song. Xiao Yuexian's performance today is the "Goddess Fu" compiled according to Song Yuwen Fu.

"Husband He Goddess is beautiful and beautiful, with the rich decoration of yin and yang. She is as beautiful as the wings of emeralds. Her image is unparalleled, her beauty is infinite; her hair is full of clothes, not formal; Xishi covers her face, more beautiful than others. colorless"

The Goddess Fu said that it was the story of Chuxiang King Xiong Hengye's dream of the Goddess.

"Looking at the remaining curtains and looking at the future, it's like flowing waves are about to rise."

Li Ke reflected on the fringed door curtain, looked at Xiao Yuexian who was playing happily in the lobby, like a fairy in exiled dust, independent from the world, suddenly this sentence popped up in his heart.

Isn't the situation mentioned in the Fu just like this moment?

At the same time, I don't know if it's a coincidence or something, but Xiao Yuexian who was sitting in the lobby was also raising her head slightly, and when she saw Li Ke who was watching her in the private room, she couldn't help but her beautiful eyes rolled, her white as jade face quietly smiled. There is a hint of pink, which makes people drunk.

Xiao Yuexian's demeanor also fell into the eyes of Xiang Chong who was beside Li Ke, and Xiang Chong was very determined in his heart.

Xiang Chong whispered to Li Ke at the right time: "Xianniang seems to be interested in the governor, but I don't know if the governor is willing to be the king of Xiang in that song?"

After hearing Xiang Chong's words, Li Ke was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what Xiang Chong meant, and why Xiang Chong said such a sentence suddenly.

There are rumors in the market that Li Ke is interested in Xiao Yuexian, and King Chu Xiang in the goddess Fu is also interested in the goddess. Xiang Chong's words mean that he wants to match Li Ke.

Qin Huaidao at the side listened to Xiang Chong's words, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's very good, King Xiang is the King of Chu, and His Highness is also the King of Chu, isn't it just fate?"

Although Qin Huaidao is also a young and flirtatious person, he also knows the seriousness. Although Xianniang is beautiful and fascinating, there are already rumors between Li Ke and her in Yangzhou.

Regardless of whether these rumors are credible or not, and regardless of whether Li Ke really intends to do so, as long as there are such rumors, Qin Huaidao will pay three respects to Xianniang, and will never get half a finger on her.

Qin Huaidao and Li Ke are both monarchs and friends, and it is Qin Huaidao who has a certain amount of advance and retreat that can get so close to Li Ke.

Li Ke listened to Xiang Chong and Qin Huaidao's words, and said with a smile: "From my king's point of view, Xianniang is not an ordinary woman. If King Xiang has a dream and the goddess has no intentions, wouldn't it be rude to speak rashly to the commanding army?"

Li Ke was originally trying to evade, but when Xiang Chong heard the words, he felt that Li Ke was just inconvenient to speak because of his status.

Xiang Chong patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, the governor, the governor intends to do it, and this matter will be done in the future."

Li Ke looked at Xiang Chong with a well-thought-out appearance, not knowing what he wanted to do, but he was also very curious.

After Xiao Yuexian finished playing a piece, a lot of colorful silks were thrown in the hall, several times more than that of the pipa piece just now. , almost flooded Xianniang's ankles, and Li Ke couldn't count them.

"Wuling is young and scrambling for head-tie, and there are countless red silks."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Ke finally understood what Bai Letian said in the poem, but the scene right now is not in Chang'an, but in Yangzhou.

At this time, Xiang Chong also clapped his hands, called the servant boy who was waiting outside the door, and said: "Miss Xianniang played very well, and I will reward you with a hundred guan."

"No." The servant boy answered and went down.

Not long after the servant boy went down, he heard a cappella singing from the hall: "The respected guest of Room C, Tianzi, Yajian will reward you with a hundred guan."

A hundred guan is enough to buy two attractive maidservants in Yangzhou, and it is also half a year's annual salary for Xiang Chong, a commander of the Danyang Mansion. Li Ke was quite surprised when he saw it and sent it out without blinking.

Li Ke asked puzzledly, "What does Xiang Tongjun mean?"

Xiang Chong explained: "The governor doesn't know that, after the fairy lady has played a song, the one who receives the highest reward among the listeners will be able to invite the fairy lady to the elegant room to play another song."

When Li Ke heard the words, he understood.

It turned out that what Xiang Chong gave was not just a simple reward, but the piano money for inviting Xianniang to come to Yajian Sonata.

But as soon as Xiang Chong finished speaking, another cappella rang out in the lobby downstairs: "Young Master Zhou rewarded you with two hundred guan in Yajian Tianzi No. A Room."

Hearing the words outside the door, Xiang Chong's face darkened suddenly. In the past, when the fairy girl played the music, the reward silver was only carried to about Baiguan, so he shot Baiguan to calm others, but listen The movement in the hall is obviously because someone broke Xiang Chong's good deed.

Li Ke saw that Xiang Chong's face was ugly, so he asked the woman serving wine beside him, "Do you know who Master Zhou is?"

Li Ke has been in this private room for a long time, and even drank the wine three times, but he never took the initiative to talk to the woman who served him. Seeing that Li Ke finally opened his mouth, the woman poured a glass of wine for Li Ke , replied: "Returning to Young Master, this week Young Master is Zhou Shuping, the youngest son of Zhou Dingfang, the owner of Yangzhou Salt Company, and also a frequent visitor of our Yanyu Building. His family is rich and his hands are always generous."

It turned out that Li Ke listened to the woman's words and finally understood.

No wonder Mr. Zhou is so generous this time. It turns out he is the youngest son of Zhou Dingfang. Zhou Dingfang's family is rich and powerful in Yangzhou, and the apology gifts given to Li Ke are often above ten thousand guan. To his Zhou family, a mere two hundred guan is nothing more than a drop in the bucket .

But even though the Zhou family is very rich, Xiang Chong has already boasted to Li Ke, how can he back down at this time, so he said to the servant boy outside the door: "Pass it on, I will reward three hundred guan."

"No." The servant boy got the words, and hurriedly passed the message again.

Not long after, another cappella rang out in the lobby: "Three hundred guan is rewarded to honored guests of Room C, Tianzi, Yajian."

"Wow!"

As soon as the singing came out, there was a burst of commotion in the lobby. There were many old customers of Yanyu Building sitting in the lobby. They naturally knew who Mr. Zhou was, but they didn't expect that someone would dare to compete with Zhou Shuping here. rich.

Three hundred guan is not a small sum no matter where it is, and today Xiang Chong has spent a lot of money in order to please Li Ke.

However, the relaxed look on Xiang Chong's face did not last long, but after a while, there was another a cappella in the lobby: "Yajian Tianzi No. [-] room Mr. Zhou rewards Qianguan!"
