The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

An ethereal and pleasant voice came from above, and a white figure stepped onto the center of the stage with his back to the crowd. His long hair, like black algae, had no accessories and was only wrapped with a white silk ribbon. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that the silk ribbon was shimmering like something from the fairyland.

As Han Xun slowly turned around, Song Qianning's eyes sparkled. This... this... this is not the handsomeness that Third Brother said, this is simply a demon. If this were placed in the entertainment industry, she would definitely be a top-tier existence. No... no... to be precise, this kind of appearance should not be a product of the mortal world.

Her face is whiter than snow, her eyebrows are picturesque, her nose is tall and handsome, and her lips are pure red. What makes people fall in love with her the most is her charming fox eyes, with the upturned corners of her eyes so captivating that people cannot look into her eyes.

It deserves any praise in the world, especially those eyes. When such a pair of eyes look at you, you will be so obsessed that you want to offer everything you have.

As Han Xun sat down, he put his hands on the strings of the zither and looked up at the audience. The corners of his lips slightly raised, and there was a sound of inhalation around him. Then there were screams.

Han Xun put his index finger to his lips, "hush..." As if by magic, his whole body instantly became quiet. He hooked his index finger on the strings of the zither and plucked them, and a deep and rich melody flowed out.

It makes people feel as if they are in the misty mountain forest, immersed in the misty Jiangnan water town. The music is profound and neutral, which can instantly calm people's impetuous mood.

Song Qianning was so fascinated by what she heard that her fingers couldn't help but move along. In her previous life, when she was a student, she had studied the guqin for more than ten years as a hobby. Although she had achieved some success, she was still quite accomplished. However, she later neglected it due to the routine nine-to-five life.

After coming to this world, she found that the original owner was also a guqin lover, so she would play it a few times in her spare time in the Marquis' Mansion. However, she was not very interested in those pieces, and she did not dare to play new pieces rashly to arouse suspicion.

The ladies present all looked at Han Xun with fascination, some of them were shy and half covered their faces with round fans, although their cheeks were flushed with shame, they still couldn't help staring at Han Xun's face.

As the song ended, the applause and cheers continued for a long time, but there was no scene of throwing money as before. The maids or servants handed the silver bills or jewelry as rewards to the servants of Zuimenglou. After all, the noble ladies present knew that their words and deeds represented the face of their family.

"The prize for rose seats is 1,000 taels of silver, the prize for lotus seats is 1,100 taels of silver, the prize for osmanthus seats is 1,500 taels of silver, the prize for chrysanthemum seats is 1,800 taels of silver, the prize for orchid seats is 2,000 taels of silver, and the prize for plum blossom seats is 2,500 taels of silver..."

The servant counted and recited the reward money that was continuously sent. Song Qianning felt that this Zuimenglou was indeed a treasure land. Even the seats for the guests were selected to match the names of flowers, which not only let Han Xun know who sent him money, but also avoided directly revealing the noble lady's family background.

"The reward for the Peony Banquet is 5,000 taels of silver..."

Song Qianning suddenly became excited. What a rich man! ! She was the top lady on the list! !

"Third brother, which table is the Peony Banquet for?" Song Qianning asked quietly.

"Princess Changle..."

"How generous!! Wait? Lotus mat??? Aren't we? Third brother, did you give me money? Oh my god! You spendthrift, what can't you do with a thousand taels? It's okay for you to give a reward to a woman, but you actually gave it to a man?" Song Qianning slapped her third brother's shoulders a few times in frustration.

"Third sister, you are going to wrongly kill my third brother. I don't have it! Besides..." Song Chengyi leaned closer and lowered his head and whispered: "Have you forgotten that my grandmother only allowed me to take 100 taels before I go out?"

"Third sister, it's not the money given by third brother. It's... yes." Song Qianxue glanced at Ling Bai and was embarrassed to continue.

"It's me! It's me! I gave you one thousand taels!" Ling Bai patted his chest proudly, and there was a look on his face that said - I'm awesome!

"Second Young Master Ling, didn't you just say that you were loyal to Lingxi? Why are you being so generous to Han Xun now?" Song Qianning looked as if to say, "You've lied to me."

Ling Bai glared at Song Qianning and said unhappily: "What are you thinking? I'm doing this for you..."

"For us?" Song Qianning pointed at herself and Song Qianxue with a look of disbelief.

As soon as Ling Bai saw Song Qianning's reaction, he knew that Song Chengyi had not told his sister the rules of Zuimenglou, so he kindly explained.

"Brother Chengyi said that this is the first time you two have met Han Xun, so I wanted to create an opportunity for you to get close to Han Xun. Don't you know the rules of Zuimenglou? If you give a reward of 1,000 taels, Han Xun can personally choose one person from these people and bring him to him. The chosen person can ask Han Xun to play the piece she wants to hear. If Han Xun doesn't choose, then the person with the highest reward will be eligible."

Song Qianning nodded and silently gave a thumbs up to Zuimenglou in her heart. It turned out that no matter what era, businessmen know best how to maximize profits.

"I see. Does Han Xun often select people?"

Ling Bai thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is none so far... at least not when I came here, and I haven't heard any rumors about it."

"Then you still give me money????"

Song Qianning looked at him as if he were an idiot.

[Is Ling Bai the stupid son of a landlord? If I were the boss, I would definitely like this kind of idiot the most. He is just like the leeks in the field being cut one after another! ! ]

Song Chengyi couldn't help laughing. He thought that the description of his third sister was very appropriate. Song Qianxue also agreed with her words. Although Han Xun was indeed very handsome, it was really wrong to waste money like this.

Han Xun smiled as if he had heard something shameful, and this unintentional smile made the hearts of the noble ladies present tremble.

Shopkeeper Sheng said loudly as usual: "Next, I will invite the best..."

"I will choose today..." Han Xun interrupted Shopkeeper Sheng.

Shopkeeper Sheng treasured Han Xun the most. Since Han Xun had spoken, he naturally had nothing to say. Although this would offend Princess Changle, who had the highest reward, the boss had instructed not to interfere with Han Xun's wishes.

The noble ladies present who had received rewards of more than one thousand taels immediately became alert and subconsciously tidied up their appearance and demeanor, hoping to be chosen by Han Xun.

Although Princess Changle was dissatisfied with the opportunity being lost, she was the most outstanding among those present in terms of identity and appearance. Han Xun would definitely choose her. The thought of being chosen by Han Xun himself made her extremely excited.

"Princess, Han Xun has never taken the initiative to choose someone, but it seems that he has noticed your beauty!" Liu Yujiao hurriedly flattered him.

Lin Qingge was not to be outdone and flattered: "Our princess is so beautiful that even Han Xun would take a second look at her if he saw her!"

"Who said it wasn't true? Is there any woman here who can compare to the princess?" Si Yao did not miss the opportunity to please the princess.

Princess Changle was very satisfied with the praise from everyone. She pretended not to care and adjusted her hair, waiting confidently for Han Xun to choose her.

"Hey! It's a coincidence that you two sisters came. Look, Han Xun is going to make a choice for the first time in history. Maybe he will choose one of us?" Ling Bai straightened his back instantly.

Song Qianning kept spinning the fan in her hand, thinking that she had been receiving rewards for too long, so she wanted to give a big reward today? ?

"Today marks the one-year anniversary of my visit to Zuimenglou. I want to go with the flow on such a special day." Han Xun picked up the lotus cake on the table and put it to his nose to sniff it, then said: "I still remember that year when I traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, the Yunmeng water town, the small bridges and attics, the lotus fields, and the ten-mile lotus flowers in full bloom, which made people linger."

Han Xun put down the lotus cake, stood up and walked to the front of the stage, casually scanning the audience, raised his hand and pointed at Song Qianning who was sitting at the lotus table and said: "Everything is fate, today we will use the lotus as a guide, can this gentleman come up on stage and talk?"
