"Who the hell is she …"
"I've never seen her before …"
"Is she new here?"
After the beginning of Shuidiao Song, there was a faint voice. If someone else were to sing this song, the evaluation they would receive would be either plain or deviant. However, at this moment, no one questioned the singing method. What they could feel was the great appeal of the tranquil singing just now.
Nie Yunzhu was one of the pillars of the Golden Wind House three years ago. She was born into an official's family and was a well-known talented woman. Later, she got married in the Golden Wind House because of her outstanding musical and singing skills. Although she still had some characteristics or edges at that time, she was already one of the best in Jiangning. If she had not deliberately restrained herself and not competed with others, she might have been able to compete for the title of Jiangning Top Beauty, the head of the Four Big Prostitutes.
Comparatively speaking, although Lv Xia was the pillar of the Jade Swallow House, she was only in the top 16 in the Top Beauty Competition, which was much worse than Nie Yunzhu three years ago. At this time, after three years of settlement and cultivation, Nie Yunzhu had washed away the lead lead, got rid of the shackles and burden in her heart, and had a higher level of transformation in musical and singing skills. This kind of transformation was difficult to find in the brothel, and it was also because she later found support and sustenance that she could really be at peace. At this time, she was just performing in the Jade Swallow House, so there was no need to discuss who was better or worse.
Only in the corridor of the platform on the second floor, Xue Yan, Liu Qingdi and others could not help but ask after hearing the singing, "Who … Who is this?"
Lv Xia shook her head and said in a low voice, "I have never seen her …" Then she could not help but look at Ning Yi, who was frowning slightly. The woman sang the beginning of Shuidiao Song, so it should have something to do with him. But why did Ning Yi have such an expression?
While they were talking, the woman who had calmly finished singing on the stage and attracted everyone's attention like a lily and ink lotus had poured tea, quietly went upstairs with the cup in her hands, and walked all the way here. After a while, everyone subconsciously made way for her. Everyone, including Lv Xia, watched the woman walk over and stop in front of Ning Yi. She bent her knees to salute and handed the cup to him with a smile.
Just now downstairs, Lv Xia also handed the cup to Xue Yan with a similar expression. But at this time, both of them were upstairs and were not far away from each other. Lv Xia, who was dressed in red, had a very different sense of presence compared to the woman in white. The woman in white had already become the focus of attention. Under this focus, Ning Yi smiled, took the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and then returned the teacup.
At the back, Li Pin applauded, and then the people of the Su family also began to applaud, and the applause resounded in the hall.
At this time, how could everyone not understand that it was clear that this woman could not bear to see Lv Xia choose the Xue family, so she came out to express her feelings to Ning Yi. It could be seen from the song she played. If an ordinary woman had come out to make a fool of herself and do such a thing, it would be a little stingy. However, this woman's singing directly overwhelmed everyone's brilliance. Even if she was invited by the Su Family, everyone was curious about this woman's identity.
On the second floor, Ning Yi and the woman were actually quietly talking in the midst of the applause.
*****
"You don't have to go to this extent …" The moment after handing over the cup, Ning Yi smiled and shook his head, "Yuan Jin 'er already told me the inside story just now. It's actually not a big deal."
"I know you are indifferent, and it may not be a big deal." Yunzhu smiled behind the veil, "But I can't stand it."
Her words were simple, but there was a force that did not need to be said. Ning Yi originally had something to say, but at this time, he summed it up a little, "Anyway, thank you."
"I don't know much. These are probably the only things I can show."
"You scared me."
"Huh?"
"It's not just a few floors, I'm afraid there are more than ten floors."
"Ha …"
At this moment, the words passed quietly, and the applause gradually stopped. Everyone looked at Ning Yi and Nie Yunzhu standing in the corridor, waiting for the next step. Ning Yi glanced around, wondering if he should let Nie Yunzhu sit on the side. At this time, Nie Yunzhu had already glanced around, and her face became a little red. She lowered her head and reminded softly, "You should reward me …"
"Huh?"
"Reward …."
Her words became even softer, and for a moment, she was almost lip-syncing, because everyone around was watching. Only then did Ning Yi react. "Oh, that's right, that's right … I have five hundred taels … Thank you for your hard work."
Just now, Lv Xia's Su Family and Xue Family added up to only five hundred taels. This amount of reward was really shocking. In fact, Ning Yi's expression was actually quite good. After expressing his gratitude for the performance loudly, he tried to let the surrounding people hear him, and then added in a low voice, "I won't write the poem for you." At this moment, the right thing to do was to minimize the impact as much as possible. However, after saying this, Nie Yunzhu was a little embarrassed. She didn't take the banknote that Ning Yi handed over, which was a little embarrassing. Li Pin rolled her eyes over there, and then there was a chuckle. Only then did Ning Yi realize that something was wrong.
Nie Yunzhu blushed, stamped her feet slightly, and then winked at Ning Yi. Ning Yi put the banknote on a small wooden plate held by a woman in the Jade Swallow House behind him, and his face was full of black lines.
"Then I'll leave." Yunzhu said with a smile. Listening to the laughter around her, she lowered her head and walked out of the circle of the crowd, and went to the staircase over there. Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief. At present, the Su family probably wouldn't feel overwhelmed by the Xue family. Of course, there were still many things that needed to be considered next. Nie Yunzhu had been out of the spotlight for three years. If she became a hot topic because of this, it was definitely not good. However, she came to the stage for him. No matter what the reason was, if there was trouble, he had to help her settle it.
As Ning Yi was thinking about these things, Nie Yunzhu had also walked to the staircase. At this time, there were still many people's eyes on her, and they were whispering. However, among them, there seemed to be another inharmonious discussion. At first, it was not noticed, but then someone said, "Eh?". Liu Qingdi, who was still looking at Nie Yunzhu, turned his head at this time, and suddenly widened his eyes and whispered. At this time, Ning Yi turned his head to look at the stage below. Yunzhu, who had been bowing her head under the attention of the crowd, also turned around and glanced at the stage. After this glance, she was suddenly stunned.
The music had started. A woman in a green dress was standing on the stage at this time. She was dressed elegantly, but her figure was tall, graceful, and soft. Obviously, her figure was suitable for dancing. At this time, the girl's waist swayed slightly. She held a flower in her right hand and gently pressed it on her elegant lips. Her eyes looked at somewhere in the dome of the hall. There seemed to be a touch of charm and drunkenness in her blurred eyes. As her body slowly turned, her eyes swept over the second floor.
This was the moment when the dance began. The woman's figure was graceful, and a few simple movements were obviously a master. However, the most surprising thing was not her simple movements, but that in the hall, someone had already shouted.
"Yuan Jin 'er …"
"It's Yuan Jin 'er …"
"She is actually here …"
On the second floor, Ning Yi opened his mouth in astonishment. "This is too reckless …" On the other side of the corridor, Nie Yunzhu was also stunned. Almost subconsciously, she glanced at Ning Yi. Coincidentally, Ning Yi also looked over. If it wasn't in this brothel, and they got along with each other every morning, the two of them would probably be sitting side by side on the stairs holding their foreheads.
Yuan Jin 'er's figure was graceful, and her temperament was lively and energetic. However, her foundation in dancing was really solid, and her figure was extremely flexible. Right now, it was like a spring that was slowly twisting. At the moment the main tune started, her entire body moved with a swoosh. Her dress bloomed like a lotus on the water's surface, continuously fluttering in the air. As her hair danced wildly, occasionally a glimpse of her beautiful face could be seen. As she danced like this, her gaze was serious and focused.
The dance … began …
Ning Yi took a few steps back and sat down on his seat. He gently held his forehead. After a moment, he finally sighed helplessly and stretched his neck to look down.
In short, in terms of dancing, it was quite good.
Right now, he could only enjoy it for a while. As for the rest, he would think about it later …
*****
No one knew why Yuan Jin 'er suddenly appeared here, but when her name was called, the people in the hall were either shocked or amazed by the dance. For a moment, almost no one remembered what Lv Xia had done just now. She was supposed to be the highlight of the night, but now, she was completely unimportant.
At first, the dance was lively. Yuan Jin 'er stretched all kinds of amazing dance moves as if she was walking on a tightrope. After a while, the rhythm began to slow down, creating a gentle and lively atmosphere. The title of the Four Great Chief Actors was not just for show. Yuan Jin 'er had enough talent and attainments in this aspect. When the dance ended with a graceful bow, Yuan Jin' er tilted her head slightly and revealed a smile. The hall was filled with thunderous applause.
"Yuan Jin 'er, great!"
"Miss Jin 'er …"
All kinds of voices rang out. Yuan Jin 'er stood on the stage and smiled as she accepted the applause and stares of the crowd. Then, she tilted her head and reached out to comb her hair. She pursed her lips and smiled. After sweeping her gaze across the hall a few times, she did not say anything. Her gaze moved a few times, and she walked to the side of the stage. Then, she lightly jumped off the stage.
Everyone watched in shock as she poured a glass of wine. Then, she held the glass with both hands and walked upstairs with her head lowered.
Almost the same route and expression as the woman in white just now, many people had already turned to look at Ning Yi. Li Pin looked at her, then looked at Ning Yi, and couldn't help but laugh softly. At this moment, apart from some understanding and stunned laughter, the hall was still quiet. Everyone just watched Yuan Jin 'er's actions. Ning Yi sat there, his expression twitching and complicated. Just now, Nie Yunzhu was wearing a white dress, and now, Yuan Jin 'er was wearing a lake-green dress. Maybe the legend of Bai Suzhen and Little Qing came from these two …
After thinking for a while, Yuan Jin 'er had already looked over before she arrived. Ning Yi looked at her. But looking alone naturally could not kill each other. Then, everyone in the hall saw Yuan Jin 'er walk in front of Ning Yi and bow gracefully. With a smile, she handed the glass of wine to Ning Yi.
"Don't you think it's messy enough …"
"Hmph, I'm helping to cover for you."
"You're asking for trouble …"
"Who cares … Hurry up and tip me."
"You're robbing me."
"It's better than robbing."
"Okay, I admit defeat today … but …" Ning Yi exhaled and took out some money. Not long after, he took out some silver. The man and the woman exchanged complicated looks in that ambiguous space. "I have a total of four taels of silver …"
Yuan Jin 'er subconsciously looked around. The people next to her had already surrounded them with complicated expressions …
