Card Room - 134

【Chapter 155, The Smoke of the Times-05】

When Ye Qi came to this world, the gatekeeper told him, “The role you want to play is the top card of Tianxianglou in Jiangzhou. The singer Ye girl who does not sell herself, is good at guzheng, pipa, flute and other instruments, and her singing is beautiful and pleasant. There are countless wealthy young masters who are spending a lot of money for you. Please play a good role and wait for the case to happen.”

Ye Qi looked at his dress of women’s dress and almost threw the Pipa in his arms.

Is the A of Hearts sick? ! Although he is a student of the Conservatory of Music, he likes to sing, but in ancient times there were also men who could sing. Why did he pretend to be a lady and go to the brothel to act as a singer? !

If it weren’t for failing to pass the level and being eliminated, Ye Qi wanted to give up the task directly…

During the two days in Jiangzhou, he has been under the control of Tianxianglou owner “Aunt Qing”, and couldn’t get out of Tianxianglou. Aunt Qing told him that there was a performance tonight and he needed to play a few songs and sing a few songs in person. , To thank the guest.

Ye Qi could only grit his teeth and stay in the room to practice music.

Fortunately, he already had a musical foundation, coupled with the physical memories that the guards had forcibly instilled when he entered the secret room. After two days of practicing, he has practiced pipa, guzheng, flute and other folk music to perfection, and the songs to sing are also ready.

He didn’t see a teammate in the past two days, he thought the case would happen in the brothel.

I was about to perform tonight, but I saw Team Yu, Lao Mo, and Shao sitting in the audience. Next to Team Yu there was a man dressed in women’s clothing. The light was too dark to see clearly. Ye Qi looked down the stage and met Shao Qingge’s eyes. Mr. Shao squirted a sip of tea without giving face. Ye Qi was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed that he wanted to smash Pipa on the spot and quit his hand!

At this moment, Aunt Qing leaned into his ear and said: “Xiaoye, you can start.”

Ye Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and play the pipa.

The crisp and melodious pipa rhythm sounded like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and the whole Tianxiang Tower was instantly quiet. Not to mention, Ye Qi really played twice, and the melody played was long and mellow, which quickly brought the emotions of the guests into it.

The initial tune was very soft and everyone was intoxicated. Suddenly, the tune suddenly changed, as if thousands of horses were crossing the border, there was gunpowder and war everywhere, and the intense melody made people’s spirits tense, Ye Qi’s calm expression and slender fingers He plucked the strings quickly, almost breaking the strings of the pipa.

The second half of the song has been very tense. Until the end, Zheng Zheng’s voice suddenly stopped, and the melody was full of energy, as if taking the audience through a thrilling battle.

Tianxianglou was quiet for a moment, followed by deafening applause: “Okay!” “It’s the top card, this pipa is really amazing!” “I heard that Miss Ye’s songs are also good…”

Aunt Qing arranged for people to walk among the guests carrying plates. Many wealthy young masters took out large chunks of silver and threw them in. The plates almost couldn’t fit. It can be seen that Ye Qi’s performance can definitely make Tianxianglou. The boss earns a lot of money.

Pipa, Guzheng, and a few songs for playing and singing, Tianxianglou continued to applaud.

After the performance, Ye Qi got up and saluted the audience.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the crowd: “It’s good to play! It’s worthy of being the top card of Tianxianglou, it’s not as good as seeing it.” What came out was a rich young master with a dark red gown and hair. He was tied with a ribbon of the same color, and his appearance was quite handsome, but it was a pity that he was full of alcohol, and Ye Qida could smell him from afar.

Someone next to him whispered: “Isn’t this Master Lin?” “The Lin Shaobo who booked with Miss Wangfu?” “Yes, yes, I heard that he often goes in and out of brothels and has an ambiguous relationship with famous prostitutes. I didn’t expect that today. He changed his taste and came to Tianxianglou to listen to tunes…” “He is so courageous. He will get married next month and drink flower wine every day…”

Listening to the surrounding discussion, Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou: “It’s the fiancé of that lady of the palace.”

Xiao Lou thoughtfully stared at Young Master Lin’s direction: “It seems that he is indeed just as romantic as the rumors.”

Lao Mo lowered his voice: “The common people said that Master Lin and Miss Wangfu were ordered by their parents. He didn’t like the old-fashioned young lady at all. He wandered around the flowers all day to express his dissatisfaction with this marriage. There are also gossips. Said that he raised several lovers outside.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned, “No matter how much I don’t like it, after all, the fiancee is the daughter of the prince, and he doesn’t give the eldest lady face, even the prince’s face? It’s not reasonable to spend time and drink like this.”

Old Mo said, “Although he was the eldest son in the Lin family, he was also a concubine. His mother was a concubine and passed away long ago. The marriage was decided by his father. Before the engagement, he and Miss Wangfu had never met. Maybe Is it because my heart is not so happy that I vent in this way?”

Shao Qingge said with great interest: “About the Lin family, I also heard some gossip in Qingcheng. Our Shao family has business cooperation with the Lin family. The Lin family is the richest salt merchant in the Daqi Dynasty. This young master Lin Shaobo doesn’t have any real power in his hands. It is said that he is just a fancy. The second young master and the third young master are better than him. The second young master is in the bureaucratic department of Kyoto, and the third young master is the heir to the Lin family industry.”

Xiao Lou said, “In that case, he and Miss Wangfu are actually right in the line? Both are the eldest sons, but neither of them was born of a regular wife, and they have no status in the family.”

Mo Xuemin said: “The problem is that after the engagement, Master Lin didn’t have a lavish style, and he didn’t seem to care much about him at the palace.”

Xiao Lou also had some doubts in his heart. It is reasonable to say that even if the prince’s daughter is a concubine born to a concubine, she is also a distinguished royal family. A bunch of wealthy businessmen and ministers will rush to ask for their relatives. The prince should not be short of money. Fancy such a son-in-law? If he spends time and wine and corrupts his reputation, will he completely ignore him as the future father-in-law?

Either the prince didn’t care about the eldest daughter, or it was the agreement between the Lin family and the palace.

Xiao Lou was frowning and thinking, just at this moment, he suddenly heard a noise in the crowd.

It turned out that Lin Shaobo directly took out an ingot of silver from his purse and stuffed it into Ye Qi’s hand with a smile: “Lady Ye has a beautiful country and outstanding talent. It is a pity to stay in Tianxiang Tower. Redemption for you, you followed me, and I will be my concubine in the future, I will never treat you badly, how?”

Ye Qi: “…”

Talk to Nima! Believe it or not, I smashed a pipa to death?

Ye Qiqiang resisted the urge to explode, and quickly took a step back, saying: “The son is joking, and the folk girls are not selling themselves.”

Lin Shaobo took out two silver coins from his purse and handed it to the boss, smiling: “Aunt Qing, I rarely come to your Tianxiang Tower. I don’t know if your girl is so special. I want to redeem her for Miss Ye. I wonder if Aunt Qing will give me this face?”

The boss took the silver and said: “Our Tianxianglou’s rule is to sell art and not to sell yourself, but the son can be our guest of Miss Ye and let her play a few songs for you alone.”

“Alright, please, please.” Lin Shaobo was about to step forward to pull Yeqi’s hand, but at this time, suddenly a fan blocked his way. Lin Shaobo raised his head suspiciously and faced a beautiful pair. Peach blossom eyes.

The man was tall, with exceptionally handsome features and a slight smile on his face, but when he looked at him, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a startling sharpness flashed in his eyes.

Lin Shaobo was startled, “This young man is?”

Shao Qingge smiled and said, “Miss Ye is my friend. Let me have the chance to be alone with her tonight.”

After that, he took out an ingot of gold directly from the purse.

One ingot of gold is equivalent to ten ingots of silver, and it’s clear at a glance who has more money.

The boss’ eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled at Shao Qingge: “What do you call this young man?”

Shao Qingge whispered: “My surname is Shao, I have something to tell Miss Ye, please arrange it with Auntie Qing.”

Aunt Qing took Shao Qingge and Ye Qi upstairs, and there was a sound of gossip around. I didn’t expect to come to Tianxianglou to watch the excitement tonight. I could actually see the two rich young masters competing for the top spot in the dog blood bridge section-and Master Lin was still fighting. Lost, what a good show!

Lin Shaobo was onlookers, his face was not pretty, he just pretended to be drunk and turned around and ran.

Ye Qi followed Shao Qingge to the box on the second floor with a complicated expression.

Ye Qi closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief. He sat down on the stool, threw Pipa aside, picked up a cup of tea and drank it-his throat was a little dry and he needed to moisten his throat before talking.

Shao Qingge joked with a smile: “Miss Ye, won’t you pour me a cup of tea?”

Ye Qi almost sprayed the tea: “Are you still in the mood to make a joke? I’m going to play the role of a singer. I stayed in the shabby place of Tianxianglou for two days and couldn’t get out at all. I was going crazy!”

At this moment, Aunt Qing suddenly passed by the door, Ye Qi stood up like an electric shock, picked up the teapot, poured tea to Shao Qingge with a smile on his face, and his voice was so soft that his bones were crisp: “Master Shao, please drink. Tea, if you don’t take care of it well, please forgive me.”

Shao Qingge couldn’t laugh or cry-this little guy is also a great dramatist!

After the boss left, Ye Qi put away his smile, sat down reluctantly, and said softly: “I saw Team Yu and Lao Mo also in the audience just now, what’s the situation?”

Shao Qingge said: “And Professor Xiao, haven’t you seen it?”

Ye Qi was stunned, and subconsciously said: “No, there are only three of you men.”

Shao Qingge held back a smile and said, “The beauty sitting next to Master Yu is made by Professor Xiao. He is like you, in the setting of this world, he is also a woman’s dress.”

Ye Qi finally couldn’t hold back this time, and he squirted out a sip of tea, almost spraying Shao Qingge’s face all over his face.

Fortunately, Shao Qingge is witty and hides quickly.

Ye Qi coughed a few times and couldn’t believe it. “Professor Xiao will also dress up as a woman?” He couldn’t imagine.

Shao Qingge said: “Furthermore, she is still Yu Hanjiang’s wife.”

Ye Qi: “………………”

This is even more unimaginable, okay?

Shao Qingge smiled and looked at him: “Do you feel better?”

Ye Qi thought about it carefully, and said angrily: “Is it worse for me then? He pretends to be the wife of Team Yu, at least Team Yu will cover him, I was stuffed directly into the brothel! I was so confused, I really want to give up. Dry!”

Shao Qingge couldn’t help laughing at the expression he almost chopped off the gatekeeper a hundred times in anger.

Ye Qi’s expression was so vivid. He was obviously dressed as a lady, dressed in a yellow gauze skirt, and had a delicate and cute face, but he was angry about beating someone, but it looked like a fierce cat opening its teeth and dancing its claws.

Shao Qingge endured his laughter and comforted in a low voice: “Okay, it’s just a role-playing. You should be wronged for a few days. Team Yu means that since you are placed in Tianxiang Tower, the case may be related to Tianxiang Tower, so you can feel at ease. Look for clues and we will protect you secretly.”

When Ye Qi heard this, he calmed down: “Well, I understand.”

Shao Qingge said: “I am the young master of a wealthy merchant in Qingcheng. When I come to the brothel to drink flower wine, meeting you will not arouse suspicion. This is why they let me come alone to find you. I will give the boss enough. I will cover you with the money, and I will come to you every night from now on, so you don’t have to deal with other guests.”

Ye Qi’s face suddenly reddened: “This…why sounds strange?”

Shao Qingge said solemnly: “It’s not weird, the setting is like this. The rules of your Tianxianglou, the top girl who gives more money, chat with her alone. If I don’t leave you behind, you can never face those strangers. Men play piano and sing songs?”

Ye Qi’s hair stood straight all over, and immediately said, “Well, it’s better to chat with you!” He drank a sip of tea and was shocked, and then curiously asked, “What are the identities of the others?”

Shao Qingge said: “Yu Hanjiang is the new prefect of Jiangzhou, Xiao Lou is his wife, Lao Mo is the teacher, and Long Sen is the palace nursing home. We have not found Teacher Qu and Liu Qiao. Team Yu asked me to ask you, Qu The teacher is good at dancing, isn’t he in Tianxianglou?”

Ye Qi immediately shook his head: “She’s not there. When I first found out that I became a singer, I also wondered if Teacher Qu would be a dancer. I went to the dance practice place several times, but I didn’t see her, and I asked the boss. By the way, there is no girl surnamed Qu in the entire Tianxiang Building.”

Shao Qingge frowned and said, “It seems that we have to continue to look for her. Yu Hanjiang is a prefect, and it is not suitable to meet you directly. I will be responsible for spreading the message in the future. We speculate that the case should happen in the palace.”

Ye Qi was startled, and suddenly said, “The Palace? On the fifteenth day of the Prince’s birthday, we rehearsed a program to perform at the Palace.”

Shao Qingge smiled: “That’s right. All of us go to the palace for different reasons. The fifteenth day should be a crucial date. You should prepare in advance.”

Ye Qi nodded seriously: “I understand.”

Shao Qingge continued: “Also, if you are alone here, pay attention to safety. Can the teleport card be used?”

Ye Qi said: “Yes, all instrument control cards are banned, and wiretapping cards can’t be used. Now only teleport cards can be used in my card pack. I pretend to be light at work, and it’s okay to escape after an accident.”

Shao Qingge was relieved now. He thought for a while, and said: “In this way, the [rich and self-willed] card I drew can copy the card. All attack and control cards in this world are banned. If your teleport card is used as a light function, it will be It’s very convenient. I’ll make a copy and hand it to Team Yu, who will arrange it.”

Ye Qi said painfully: “You need to deduct 5 million gold coins to copy a card…”

Shao Qingge rubbed his forehead helplessly: “No way, the card I drew is such a prodigal.”

Ye Qi was depressed: “You just gave the boss an ingot of gold just to meet me, right?”

Shao Qingge smiled and said: “Don’t be afraid, I have carried several boxes of gold this time in Jiangzhou, enough for flowers.”

Ye Qi: “…”

The golden master’s father is always the golden master’s father wherever he goes.
