Minglong

Chapter 51 Sir, can you sing?

stomping on...

There was a lot of traffic along the Chongming River, and two figures, one in front and one behind, were running quickly towards the clinic.

Lin Wanyi's eyes were full of sourness in the house, but after leaving the house, her face turned into embarrassment and anger. She muttered silently while walking:
This big pig's hoof...

I agreed to deal with a few officials, but all the famous people in Danyang came. How can I go out and see people in the future?

And even if it's just a show, why is she "so radiant and peerless" and I'm just "an aunt on earth"?
Apart from the fact that I am two years older than them, how am I inferior to them?
At such a young age, I don’t know how good my sister is…

If it weren't for you saving me yesterday, I would have cast a spell on you...

……

At the same time, a hundred steps behind him.

Linghu Qingmo chased after him, sword in hand. He seemed to be in a hurry, but in reality, the distance between them was not shortened at all. His eyes were filled with mixed emotions, and he secretly wondered:
Xie Jinhuan, you have such a beautiful lover, why are you writing about me?

Just write it. You praised me so much, but you were so perfunctory to your old lover...

Doctor Lin won’t scratch me, right?

Last time I saw two ladies on Wencheng Street fighting over jealousy, they pulled a lot of their hair out...

……

Although I have never experienced this situation, I have to clarify it when it happens.

Linghu Qingmo gritted his teeth and finally caught up with him:

"Doctor Lin, wait a minute."

Lin Wanyi didn't know whether she should continue to help the big pig's hoof act. She felt quite embarrassed when she was called out. She gritted her teeth and pretended to be lukewarm:

"Miss Linghu, is there anything else?"

"It's nothing."

Linghu Qingmo walked closer, trying to look calm and composed:
"Xie Jinhuan was just writing for fun. He and I have nothing to do with each other, Doctor Lin..."

"I have nothing to do with him."

Lin Wanyi folded her hands at her waist and hummed softly:
"I just saw that he was capable, chivalrous, and from the same hometown, so I chatted with him for a while. I never thought he would secretly write such nonsense."

Linghu Qingmo is indeed a kind-hearted person. At this time, he even wants to speak well of Xie Jinhuan to prevent his confidante from abandoning him:

"A gentleman's deeds are judged, not his heart. Xie Jinhuan only wrote privately, so it's no big deal. If Miss Lin is unhappy, I will draw a clear line between us and him from now on. Apart from official business, we will not have any private contact."

Lin Wanyi was just playing along, she didn't want to act like the eldest wife and drive Linghu Qingmo away:
"No need. Xie Jinhuan and I are just ordinary friends. I was angry because he wrote something like 'a bowl in the sky'. Anyone who hears that would be angry! I have no dissatisfaction with Miss Linghu."

is it?

I just noticed you looking at me sourly...

Linghu Qingmo wanted to explain a few more words, but Lin Wanyi turned and ran into the street:

"The alchemy furnace in the clinic is still burning. I won't keep you company. Goodbye."

"Eh?"

Linghu Qingmo wanted to explain a few more words, but Lin Wanyi disappeared into the street like the wind. She had no choice but to pick up her sword, turn around and stride back, wanting to settle the score with Xie Jinhuan!
But Xie Jinhuan secretly wrote something praising her beauty and kindness, so what did she think?

They didn't take it out and publicize it everywhere. The government found it inexplicably.

She couldn't possibly warn Xie Jinhuan not to think she was pretty or kind in the future.

Isn't this a fool's errand?
Linghu Qingmo pondered for a moment, then thought about how his master was known as 'the most beautiful woman in Taoism', and just laughed it off.

As a disciple, she should naturally be an ice-cold beauty with a firm heart and not be tied down by these worldly affairs.

But why did Xie Jinhuan praise me so attentively, but praise Doctor Lin so casually...

Could it be that in his heart...

As he was lost in thought, Linghu Qingmo didn't even know where he was going...
-
As night falls, Taoxianfang is once again lit up with its vibrant lights.

Wuwei Pavilion was built on the shore of Xizhai Lake, against the wall. It is only two stories high, with dark green tiles. The second floor is hollowed out and supported only by columns.

Although it is named "Wuwei Pavilion", the second floor is filled with small tables and soft couches. There is also a room with a terrace at the top of the long building. A bright moon is hanging outside the railing, and the afterglow of the lights in Taoxianfang makes the scenery pleasant.

Wow...

The maid Duoduo opened the sliding door and knelt beside the small table, holding a tray. She was wearing a light yellow gauze palace dress, revealing a large area of ​​white on her chest. Her big eyes flickered, quite charmingly:

"Mr. Xie, what kind of wine do you like to drink?"

Xie Jinhuan was wearing a cloud-patterned brocade robe. He sat upright on the left side of the small desk, looking into the tray.

It turns out that this little maid is quite bad. She holds the tray horizontally to her chest, and the edge is white, soft and deep...

Xie Jinhuan was not at home, so he certainly could not touch the maid. After a quick look, he found that Wuwei Pavilion had a very good supply of wine and drinks, ranging from fruit wine for children to century-old wine that cost 100 taels per pot. All of them were engraved on jade plates, most of which he had never seen before.

"I am a guest, I shouldn't take over the show. Just cook according to the princess' taste."

"Okay~ The princess is changing her clothes now and will come over later. What kind of music do you want to listen to? We have both simple and elegant songs. If you want to listen to erotic songs, I can sing them too~"

So you sang it?!
I was saying the voice was so familiar...

It seems that none of the landlady's subordinates are ordinary people...

Xie Jinhuan had been listening to obscene songs these days and really wanted to see what this girl could do. After a quick recollection, he clicked on a song:
"A song of noble spirit."

"what?"

Duoduo's rosy cheeks froze for a moment. She looked at the current environment and then at the many maids accompanying her.

"Sir, are you sure you want to hear this?"

"Hmm. Can't the girl sing?"

"Uh... I do know a little."

Duoduo stood up with the tray and handed it to the maid waiting outside. Then she took out a painted pipa, sat sideways on the spring stool, and gently played it with her bare hands:
“Ding~Dingding——”

"There are so many wonderful places in the magnificent mountains! The noble spirit of the past centuries fills my heart! The long river surges like a dragon, and the mountains are high and the shadows of clouds surround the peaks..."

The words are clear and the voice is loud and clear!
Because of his broad mind and strong confidence, it really has a soul-stirring flavor.

Xie Jinhuan was surprised, thinking that this girl was indeed quite capable. It would be great if he could buy her home...

After waiting for a while, there was another noise outside the sliding door.

Tread...  

Princess Changning, who had changed into a home dress, went upstairs with her maid and found Duoduo howling like a ghost. She frowned:
"What are you singing?"

Duoduo's neck shrank: "Uh~ Thank you, Master, for listening to this."

"is it?"

Princess Changning sat sideways in front of the peacock screen. "She has a very unique taste. She listens to music in brothels and asks the girls to sing these songs, just like those... um..."

Duoduo added thoughtfully: "A hypocritical scholar."

Princess Changning blinked, but obviously understood the meaning.

Xie Jinhuan didn't care about the joke and raised his glass:
"It was just a joke. I'm a newcomer, but I'm truly grateful for the courtesy Your Highness has shown me. I'd like to offer a toast to Your Highness."

Princess Changning picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then gestured to the dice cup on the table:
"Drinking is fine, but don't forget the business. Try it first and see if it works." Xie Jinhuan put down his wine glass and picked up the gambling equipment to study it. However, when he saw a group of maids gathered around and looked at him curiously, he looked a little embarrassed.

"Your Highness, this technique is our most precious skill. If it gets out..."

Princess Changning understood what she meant and raised her hand slightly:

"You all should leave first. You are not allowed to go upstairs or eavesdrop without my order."

"promise."

Duoduo still wanted to drink with him, but she felt very sorry when she saw this. She got up reluctantly and closed the sliding door.

As the footsteps faded away, only two people were left sitting opposite each other in the room.

Princess Changning looked around and realized something was missing:
"Where's your big bird? Still looking for a bowl in the sky?"

"It went to bed early, so I didn't bring it."

After Xie Jinhuan casually explained, he picked up the seemingly ordinary vermilion lacquer dice cup and looked at it. It was very light in his hand. He tried to infuse Qi into it, but it was difficult to do so. It should be made of something similar to ice soul silk.

The dice are also very special. They are transparent and have no bumps on the surface. The points are distinguished by red and green colors.

While Princess Changning was pouring her own wine, she also kindly explained:

"These gambling tools were made by the Wubei Academy, specifically to deal with those with advanced skills. Even the royal family would find it difficult to figure out the points. Try it."

Xie Jinhuan felt that this gambling set was of considerable value. After a brief inspection, he swept the three dice into the dice cup and shook it back and forth:
dong dong dong...

The collision sound was muffled and uneven, sounding like a lump of iron wrapped in rubber.

The vibrations in my palms were also very strange, with uneven frequencies, as if all the dice were the same size.

In this situation, it is not easy to guess the number, or even hear how many dice are rolled.

thump—

After shaking the dice cup several times, Xie Jinhuan placed it on the table, and the movement stopped abruptly.

Princess Changning leaned forward slightly and asked:

"What points?"

Xie Jinhuan's eyes were focused, seemingly performing a magic trick. After a moment, he responded:

"Three, five, six."

When the dice cup was opened, it was true.

"Oh~ It really works."

Princess Changning's eyes lit up, and it looked like she was already imagining the satisfying scene of revenge!
Xie Jinhuan smiled modestly and raised his glass to toast:
"I am but a commoner. It is a blessing for me to be able to help the princess with my humble skills. I offer another toast to the princess."

Princess Changning felt that she was drinking a little too quickly, but she was happy in her heart and still raised her glass in response.

Xie Jinhuan had a clear goal for this trip, which was to find a way to get Princess Changning drunk and find a chance to escape.

When it comes to drinking companionship, his skills are not inferior to those of top gigolos and male models in nightclubs!
Princess Changning saw Xie Jinhuan causing trouble at the peony pond and thought he was a cold and serious young man. But now she found that Xie Jinhuan drank very happily and was handsome, sweet-spoken and capable of handling things, which made her feel surprised.

I didn't see it, and he was a noble husband in front of the hall, but...

The two of them clinked glasses, and because Xie Jinhuan drank very quickly and Princess Changning was not a shy young lady, they finished the whole pot of wine in just a quarter of an hour.

As a result, they drank too much and Xie Jinhuan was a little drunk. The princess opposite also leaned against the small table, her cheeks flushed:
"Alright, alright, when drinking with a girl, how can you drink so fast? Don't you know how to talk about some romantic things slowly?"

"Sorry, I used to be a gangster, so I'm used to drinking big bowls of wine."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Xie Jinhuan glanced at the Zhenglun sword on the stage calmly.

Ye Hongshang was on standby at any time, so he naturally used his power at this moment.

"Hu~~"

Princess Changning felt the alcohol getting to her head, and she felt a little dizzy. She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead lightly:

"Why are you a little drunk today?"

"Your Highness may have drunk too quickly. How about taking a break and I sing a couple of little songs for you?"

"what?!"

Princess Changning was stunned for a moment, thinking she had drunk too much and misheard. She opened her eyes and looked at the stern and extraordinary young man in white across from her:

"You with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can you sing?"

"I'll learn it every night if I hear and see it. Just don't make fun of me, Your Highness."

The young man in white robe cleared his throat and then raised his hand to tap the rhythm:
"The wind stirs the fallen petals in the deep path, the sun shines on the quiet courtyard, orioles sing in the shadows of green willows, and a few scattered petals are hard to pin down..."

You know what, the voice is clear and the tune is on point, it's very nice to listen to.

It's just that her eyes are a little bit more coquettish, like a succubus...

Princess Changning felt that Xie Jinhuan had changed, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She was surprised and sat up straight, listening carefully. After a moment, she praised:

"I never thought you, a righteous young man, could actually sing brothel songs. You must have practiced a lot in private, right?"

"I'm just singing for fun. How about I sing a line, and the princess takes over, and whoever can't keep up gets to drink?"

"Row!"

Princess Changning was in high spirits, filling her glass and waiting...

……

At the same time, inside the room.

Xie Jinhuan got up quietly and moved to the door of the terrace. When he saw the scene in the house, he suddenly understood why Meiqiu got angry!

The small case was placed in the middle of the room, and he was obviously no longer there.

But Princess Changning still leaned against the small table, her eyes blurred as she looked across at the opposite side, a smile on her lips, and after a moment she began to sing a song:

"I am alone leaning on the railing, looking out into the distance~..."

Although she was still graceful and wealthy, her demeanor was abnormal and she was talking to herself in the air, as if she was possessed by a ghost.

After Xie Jinhuan confirmed that the ghost wife's enchanting magic was correct, he looked outside the building again.

There are guards in the Princess's Mansion, but they only occasionally listen to the noise downstairs and will not go upstairs to disturb.

But the ghost wife is just a ghost, she can only pretend that he is still there, and she can't cause any physical impact, and if it takes too long, she will probably be exposed.

In order to save time, Xie Jinhuan did not stay any longer. He quietly closed the sliding door of the terrace. After making sure that his shadow would not be exposed, he climbed back to his own house downstairs.

But before leaving, Xie Jinhuan felt uneasy again, thinking to himself:

The ghost wife won’t mess around and ruin my image, right?

Forget it, business is more important, I’ll talk about it when I get back…
