The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 120 Rescued
Hua Xiyu ignored the old witch and took out a pencil from her hair bun to mark the symbols under the simple musical notation with the symbols of Gongshang Jiao Zheng Yu that the ancients could recognize. The musical notation was not so easy to change, and everything had to be written in the way the ancients wrote it. This made it difficult for her. Since she couldn't do it alone, she had to have someone to help her. Imagine a modern person who had nothing to do but study ancient music scores. Fortunately, the thing that the brothel lacked the most was musicians. Miss Yanzhi was watching the fun upstairs. Hua Xiyu looked up and said, "Beauty, it's you."
Yanzhi was about to recommend herself when she came downstairs holding the Pipa. Looking at her closely, although she was wearing a veil, her vague face, hazy expression, and her clear and moving big eyes made her even more charming. The previous heartbeat was replaced by the current annoyance. Why are you not a man, why are you a woman?
Although she hated it, she was still rational. She also wanted to understand the score. Hua Xiyu hummed the tune to her, and then Yanzhi showed her the score she had memorized. Then, Hua Xiyu translated her score into simplified score. It was that simple. If they can translate each other, it proves that it is not written randomly, but you just don't know it.
The madam took the two scores and looked at them left and right, but couldn't understand anything. She was not a musician, her ability was to recognize, observe and manage people. As for Hua Xiyu, her mind was full of Teresa Teng's songs at this moment. She came out with "Don't Pick the Wild Flowers by the Roadside" off the top of her head. The melody was beautiful and the lyrics were festive. She especially liked it.
The madam stuffed the pipa from Yanzhi's hand into Hua Xiyu's arms and said, "Play it for me first."
Well, it’s time to test me again. It’s just playing the guitar. I’m really good at it.
When the pipa is used as a guitar, the sound is neither that of a guitar nor that of a pipa, but it is much better than both. Hua Xiyu discovered this last time.
She took the pipa generously, without even looking at the score, closed her eyes, and plucked the strings in ecstasy. The beautiful and cheerful melody instantly echoed in her ears. Those who were originally watching the fun suddenly stared and listened quietly. Some people even clapped their hands to the rhythm of the melody. For a moment, the whole room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After the song was over, many people were still immersed in the music. Hua Xiyu signaled to Yanzhi to continue playing. Yanzhi was not polite. She said, "Although your playing is okay, this girl is the best." Yanzhi played the song again according to the score she wrote. The melody was still the same, and the tune was still the same, but it didn't sound like the same song or tune. Anyway, it was different, as if something was missing, but she couldn't tell what it was.
The guests upstairs and downstairs were all sighing and evaluating the music. Yanzhi was a famous zither player in Huicheng. Many people came to Liaozhai just to listen to her playing the zither. Yanzhi was very good at playing the pipa, zheng, konghou, but it seemed that she didn't play well today.
Yanzhi indeed did not perform well. Firstly, this was not a pipa score at all. Secondly, she was competing with him. The love that had just sprouted and withered away made her curious about Hua Xiyu. She felt that this woman was like a mystery, so she would glance at her from time to time when she played the piano. She was not familiar with the score to begin with, so of course her performance was not satisfactory.
The original performance of promoting newcomers now seemed to have turned into a competition between two people for piano skills. Fortunately, it didn't last long. The madam had to admit that she wrote the music score, and no one knew it, and no one could play it, but she just didn't want to pay for it.
"Mom, we have a written document." Hua Xiyu took out the written gambling document and showed it to the people around him. Then he whispered in her ear, "I gave you another song, and you have earned back all the 1000 taels."
They started talking about money, and Yanzhi left at the right time. This was not her stage tonight, and she didn't want to steal the limelight.
The madam had to admit it, but she was unwilling to give in. "Let's talk about it after the song is finished."
Many people followed suit and said, "Sing, let her sing."
"Let her sing, let her sing"
"Girl, why don't you come home and sing with me?" someone shouted from upstairs.
"How about we sing together in my tent?"
Hua Xiyu looked towards the direction of the voice. The speaker was a man in vermilion clothes on the second floor. As he was far away, she couldn't see his face clearly. She glared at him fiercely and said, "Okay, I'll remember you. If you dare to talk to me like that, you'd better be prepared to pay the price."
Liu Jingcheng also looked at the man who was talking on the second floor and said, "Go and see who was talking just now?"
Yiqi left and went upstairs, thinking gloatingly, "Great, someone is going to be in trouble this time."
There were waves of booing voices coming from behind. The madam didn't care about face. She just wanted money. But she had to admit her mistake today. If she didn't, her reputation would be ruined and her business would be hard to do in the future. The competition in this industry was also very fierce. However, it was not so easy for her to admit her mistake obediently.
"Okay, I accept it, but you have to teach my girls to sing here for a month." I don't believe that I can't make back the money after singing for a month. Haha, I have never done business at a loss.
Sing for a month? Sing for nothing. I'm gone. Where can you find me? Hum.
"Sure, one thousand and two taels of silver for one song." Hua Xiyu's voice came through the microphone and everyone in Liaozhai could hear it clearly.
"What kind of song can be so expensive?" Mom would not be fooled. It can't be made of gold. One piece costs one thousand taels.
"If you don't want it, forget it. I'll give you these two songs for free today. Remember to give me the one thousand taels of silver you lost to me." No rush. Let me show you the effect first.
"I'll give you one thousand taels of silver. If you sing for a month, I'll send you and your brother away," Mom insisted.
"Impossible" It's not my style to refuse a debt, and it's my nature to refuse decisively. "If you don't agree, I'll sell it to another brothel and see how you do business in the future."
"You..." The madam was so angry that she had no words to say, but she had to give in. Then she immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Yuanmeng, look how I treat you. You just came today, and I didn't make things difficult for you. Let's sing the song first, and we can discuss it later."
"Sing!" a guest shouted.
"Sing quickly!"
A series of urging voices rang out. No one had the patience to listen to your bargaining. The guests spent money to have fun, not to see you negotiate deals.
The madam didn't know what she was thinking of, and then she laughed and said, "Okay, as long as you sing well and teach a good song, I'll do as you say."
"Don't forget to send my sister and I away safely immediately." It is better to be sent away than to escape, and you can take the silver with you.
"Hmph," Mom snorted, which was considered as her agreement.
Hua Xiyu on the stage started the concert mode: "Ladies and gentlemen, friends, guests, good evening."
The sound echoed in the hall, and then the music started. The classic and beautiful melody, accompanied by Teresa Teng's gentle and graceful singing, floated over the hall, and Hua Xiyu lip-synced to the rhythm.
Everyone was stunned by the heavenly sound. They had never heard such beautiful music or such pleasant singing.
The madam was so excited that she almost cried. One thousand taels, it was worth it, absolutely worth it. The song was even better than the one she sang in the afternoon.
Few people noticed that although there was no musician accompaniment, the music was lingering in the hall. The music was neither zheng nor pipa, and no one knew what instrument it was, but it sounded so beautiful.
Everyone was floating in the song, their consciousness followed the melody and lyrics, and they couldn't help but look at the moon in the sky, but...
There is a roof above, but no moon.
Tender affection flowed in the hall. While everyone was intoxicated by the music, Ji'an and Yiqi had already carried Ah Tu out. Liu Jingcheng stepped onto the stage, grabbed Hua Xiyu and walked out. Stupid woman, she was not afraid of ruining her reputation by singing for those scumbags in a place like this.
The moment Hua Xiyu looked at Liu Jingcheng, he instinctively wanted to hide, but where could he hide? He grabbed the bag on the table and was dragged out of Liaozhai.
A Tu had been thrown into the carriage outside. Liu Jingcheng took Hua Xiyu and jumped into another carriage. Without any urging, Jie'an and Yiqi drove their carriages respectively and hurried to the palace.
In the hall of Liaozhai, everyone was still immersed in the singing. Many people were thinking about their own thoughts, and were thinking about who the infatuated woman, who was so gentle and affectionate, was talking to...
Inside the carriage, the music hadn't stopped yet, and from the speakers came the words "You go think about it, you go take a look." The sound was a bit loud, and it might wake up the people living on both sides of the street.
Liu Jingcheng quickly went to cover Hua Xiyu's mouth, but even though he covered his mouth, the sound did not stop. He was also surprised and didn't know what was going on.
"Shut up, are you going to wake up everyone on the whole street?" Liu Jingcheng was in no mood to listen to the song. The only thing he wanted to do, which was to keep a low profile, was being publicized in such a high-profile manner. He was so angry that he really wanted to slap this woman to death.
Hua Xiyu fumbled around on the speaker for a long time before finding the switch. He turned off the speaker and the sound stopped abruptly.
The night was very quiet. The hard wheels of the carriage rolled and swayed on the bluestone road. The sound of horse hooves beat the rhythm. No one spoke in the carriage. The atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious. Although it was weird, it was peaceful and no one had the heart to break it.
A black shadow was falling far behind the carriage. The three awake people felt it, but none of them exposed it. There were too many people paying attention to Prince Xuan's mansion, and the three of them became alert at the same time.
Liu Jingcheng stared at Hua Xiyu, confirming that it was not her who was singing, and he couldn't help but be curious: "Who is it?" He asked lightly, his voice soft and cautious, for fear of ruining the atmosphere.
Hua Xiyu slowly took out his cell phone, turned off the music, and then sat there quietly without saying a word, just like a primary school student who had done something wrong and was caught by his parents.
Looking at her appearance, Liu Jingcheng laughed secretly in his heart. This was the first time he had the opportunity to officially see her true face, and she was wearing a veil. This was the standard configuration for every newcomer before their appearance in Liaozhai. It was not that she deliberately concealed it. The girls in the building would get a discount if they were not mysterious.
He wanted to reach out and lift her veil, but finally held back and pointed at the speaker and asked, "What is this?"
Answer: "Speaker"
"Why does it sing?" He didn't want to ask, but curiosity got the better of him.
Hua Xiyu finally came to his senses. Why should I be afraid of him? I am not his relative, so why should he control me? I have not broken any law or discipline, so why should he do that?
She sat up straight, snatched her cell phone, and put the speaker and cell phone into her bag: "I haven't even got my one thousand taels of silver yet, and you took it away. You have to give it back to me," she said righteously.
Liu Jingcheng was so angry that he laughed. An unmarried girl ran to a brothel to hang out. What she cared about was not her own reputation, but the one thousand taels of silver. If this were to get out, how would she live in this life?
In the carriage at the back, Ah Tu's face was red and he was still drunk. When he opened his mouth, a cloud of alcohol gushed out. Such a low-alcohol liquor could make people so drunk, which shows that the rule that children should not drink alcohol is correct.
The person following the carriage saw the carriage enter the palace, turned around and left, and quickly returned to Liao. Jie'an followed closely behind him. After the man entered Liaozhai, he went to Lingyun Pavilion in a grand manner, "Miss, I followed you all the way until the carriage entered the palace."
"Prince Xuan's Palace? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Yanzhi found it incredible. A woman from the palace would visit a brothel without any money? It was impossible no matter how she thought about it.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Both of their carriages went straight into the palace."
"Okay, got it." Yanzhi gave the man a silver ingot and waved her hand to let him leave.
Jie'an heard everything the two said clearly on the roof, then turned around and went back to the palace on tiptoe.
In the palace, Ah Tu was poured cold water again and finally came to his senses. He cried and called out to his senior brother, "Senior brother, punish me, punish me, it's all my fault, I accept the punishment."
Hua Xiyu refused to admit her mistake and demanded the one thousand taels of silver that she had not received. Liu Jingcheng was at a loss as to whether to laugh or cry. He could neither beat nor scold her, so he had no choice but to throw her into her hut.
"You are not allowed to eat for three days." Qi Bao received the message from Jie'an and did not ask anything. He just followed the prince's order.
Seeing that the alarm was lifted, Hua Xiyu happily lay down on the bed and took a good sleep.
Humph, you dragged me away without even getting my sister's money. This money must be paid by Prince Hong.
"Sir, it's a girl named Yanzhi," Jie'an repeated what he heard.
"Well, check this Yanzhi and arrange someone to keep an eye on her."
