Chapter 649 The Three Principles of the Goddess’s Salvation (3)
From now on, the lanterns in Yihong Pavilion will be hung high.
The red gauze dances lightly, and the sound of the zither and the harp sound.
The madam was standing at the door, waving a round fan in her hand and looking at the guests coming and going with a critical look.
suddenly.
She saw a plainly dressed woman walking towards her.
The woman bowed her head slightly, and her voice was soft but pleading: "Mother, I am originally from the south of the Yangtze River. My family suffered a disaster, so I had to go north alone to find my relatives. I ran out of money on the road and had nowhere else to go, so I came here to ask for a job. I can play the piano, can you let me be a piano player here for a few days?"
The madam looked her up and down.
The dress was covered in dust, and there were even some signs of wear and tear on the cuffs and hem.
Her long hair was casually tied up, with a few strands hanging in front of her forehead, appearing a little messy, but it could not hide her eyes as clear as autumn water.
Although the girl was dressed in rags, she looked good.
If you dress up nicely, you might be able to attract a lot of customers.
The madam narrowed her eyes, pretending to be embarrassed, and said suggestively: "We are not short of musicians, but we are short of some eloquent women."
The plot of forcing women of good character into prostitution never gets out of date.
Song Yuesheng complained in his heart and interrupted her quickly, with a flash of panic in his eyes: "Mom, I only sell my art and not my body. If you don't allow me, I will leave now and go find some teahouses and music halls."
When the madam heard this, she rushed forward to stop them.
"This is Mingdu, and there is no shortage of musicians in teahouses and music halls. Seeing how pitiful you are, I, your mother, will do you a favor and take you in for a few days until you earn enough money for your journey."
"But you are a latecomer, and I don't know how good you are at playing the zither. Five hundred coins a day."
Once entering Yihong Pavilion and seeing the generous rewards, even the most stubborn girl would change her original idea of performing for a living.
The only reason they are still holding on is because they don't have enough money or they haven't met the right guy.
This girl is in urgent need of money, so she will definitely fall soon.
Song Yuesheng nodded quickly, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Mom. I will do my best."
The madam brought Song Yuesheng into the inner hall and prepared to ask a maid to take her to change clothes.
"What's your name?"
Song Yuesheng whispered, "My surname is Su, and my name is Yueqin."
"The name is quite good."
The madam continued, "We have a lot of rules here. If a customer gives you money, you have to give me 70% of it."
Song Yuesheng sneered in his heart, how greedy he was, but his face remained respectful: "Yes, don't worry, mom, I understand."
Seeing that Song Yuesheng was so obedient, the madam said a few more words.
"There are many nobles under the emperor's feet. Even if you are just playing the piano, you must be smart. Don't offend anyone, and don't bring trouble to Yihong Pavilion."
"Yes."
Two quarters of an hour later.
The maid changed a red long dress for the heroine. The hem of the skirt was as light as flowing clouds, and a golden ribbon was tied around her waist, which made her waist look slender and her figure graceful.
Her long hair was tied up and inserted with a jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair hung by her ears, adding a bit of charm.
When Song Yuesheng walked out of the room, the madam was leaning against the door, fanning herself with a round fan, waiting nonchalantly.
However, when her eyes fell on Song Yuesheng, the round fan suddenly stopped and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"This... is this the girl from before?" The madam looked her up and down in disbelief, her tone full of surprise, "It's true that clothes make the man! You look even more outstanding than the courtesan in my Yihong Pavilion!"
Song Yuesheng lowered her head and smiled slightly, her voice soft, "Thank you for the compliment, Mom."
The madam smiled from ear to ear and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand: "Come on, go to the lobby and play the piano! There are many guests tonight, and your appearance will definitely attract a lot of attention!"
In the lobby of Yihong Pavilion, red gauze danced lightly, and the guests were drinking, chatting, or whispering.
Song Yuesheng was brought to the piano stage by the madam.
She carefully placed the guqin in front of her and stroked the strings with her fingertips.
He glanced at the crowd and caught a glimpse of a figure drinking on the second floor, but quickly shifted his gaze.
Then, Song Yuesheng lowered his head and plucked the strings.
The sound of the piano is like crying and complaining, as if telling a story of unforgettable love.
The guests' eyes involuntarily turned to the piano platform.
I saw the woman in red playing the piano with her head lowered, her expression focused, as if she had become one with the sound of the piano.
"The sound of the piano... is so moving." A guest exclaimed in a low voice.
"Who is that girl? Why have I never seen her before?" another person asked curiously.
The madam smiled from ear to ear: "This is our new zither player Miss Yueqin, please show your support! She will only stay in our Yihong Pavilion for a few days."
"That's a nice talk. Sister Yue, I didn't know you have such a hidden skill."
"It's a pity that I can't even distinguish the strings."?
When Song Yuesheng was a freshman in college, he was laughed at by people in the club for not having one or two talents.
She is not convinced.
I downloaded the instrumental positions of "Pillow Moon and Sleeping Clouds", a guqin piece expressing lovesickness, from the Internet, and then memorized the positions. I practiced every day except for classes. It took me two weeks of hard practice to achieve the desired effect.
After learning how to slap them in the face, she quit the club.
Later, when I met them, she also used "Pillow Moon Sleeping Clouds" to coax them.
Even though she hadn't played it once since she started the mission, she couldn't forget what was engraved in her muscle memory.
The blue sparrow uttered an "ah".
"Performing is not the point. The purpose of "Pillow Moon Sleeping Cloud" is to attract the attention of the demon tribe."
After all, throughout history, both in China and abroad, love is hard to understand and longing is hard to eliminate.
Nothing can attract others' attention better than this guqin piece.
In the private room on the second floor, a young man in ink-colored clothes was leaning against the window, holding a glass of wine in his hand, looking lazy and bored.
Qiao Mo's eyes casually swept across the lobby and were suddenly attracted by the red color.
The sound of the piano seems to have some kind of magic that touches people's hearts.
Everyone can feel the deep lovesickness coming from the piano music.
Qiao Mo's wine glass stopped at his lips, but he forgot to drink it.
He put down his wine glass, stood up and walked to the railing, looking down at the piano platform.
At this moment, the song ended.
The musician stood up and said something like thank you for listening.
When their eyes met, she was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled at him, then left with the piano in her arms.
Qiao Mo's gaze gradually became deep, and an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart.
Tonight's wine doesn't seem so boring.
When the madam saw Song Yuesheng leaving with the zither, she hurried forward to stop her with a smile on her face but a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Miss Yueqin, you just played one song, why are you leaving? The guests are waiting!"
Song Yuesheng lowered his head, his voice soft but firm: "I will only play one song today."
The madam frowned and her tone became stern: "Girl, how can you be so ignorant of the rules? This is not a place where you can come and go as you please! If you refuse to play the piano properly, don't blame me for being rude!"
Song Yuesheng raised his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "I am not selling myself here, I am just borrowing this place to play the piano temporarily. If mother is not satisfied, I will leave immediately."
"It's just... if we start fighting and offend our guests, you will be held responsible, Mom."
The madam's heart trembled at her cold gaze and she was about to explode when suddenly a servant came running over with a jade pendant in his hand and whispered something in her ear.
After hearing what the servant said, the madam's face suddenly changed.
She looked back and forth at Song Yuesheng, then she put on a smile and her tone became respectful.
"Oh, girl, you are so lucky to have a distinguished guest invite you so soon. The distinguished guest is waiting for you in the private room on the second floor, don't keep him waiting for too long!"
Song Yuesheng was slightly stunned, and had some guesses in his mind.
