Penglou, the largest brothel in the capital, is where dignitaries spend huge sums of money. Song Fei brought Yunze to Penglou. Because Song Fei was the prince of Ming Dynasty, the owner of Penglou was very enthusiastic about him.
It was almost noon, and many dignitaries came to the brothel. Compared with most brothels that only opened at night, the brothel looked more like a restaurant. They are also open during the day.
Song Fei and Yunze found a private room on the second floor and sat down. There was a window in front of them, allowing them to have a panoramic view of everything in the main hall below.
Opposite is a stage-like loft, where dancers are performing dances. The layout here looks similar to the restaurant conceived by Yunze.
Even the patterns are somewhat similar. It seems that they copied Yunze's Cen Tinglou to have such a pattern.
After sitting down, Song Fei looked at Yunze mysteriously and said, "Every day at noon, Miss Shishi will come out and perform a song. Although there is only time for one song, her beautiful voice and singing voice will impress so many people." The guests never come back.”
"It's a pity to say that even now, no one has seen Miss Shishi's true face. But judging from her beauty and singing voice, she is definitely of heavenly beauty."
"However, Miss Shishi once said that if someone could play a song with her, she would meet him. Unfortunately, Miss Shishi has been in the capital for more than a month, and there is no one who can play with her. , even if he is recognized as the number one musician in the capital, if he wants to play with Miss Shishi, he will be defeated in the end."
Song Fei was beaming as he spoke, while Yunze frowned. An idea flashed through his mind. He felt like he had grasped something key, but for a moment, he didn't know what he had grasped.
He turned to look at the other side of the private room and saw several musical instruments placed there. It seemed that they were for the guests to use. They probably put the instruments there because they were playing with the teacher girl.
At this moment, shouting sounds came from time to time from the private rooms below and around.
"Old Madam, Miss Shishi, why are you coming out? We have been drinking for three times... If you don't come, we will knock down your building!"
"Yes, why did Miss Shishi come out so slowly today? Are you looking down on us? We have invited Fengli, a talented man from the Imperial Academy, who is a master in this art. He can definitely perform a song with Miss Shishi today. "
"Ms. Shishi, maybe she's scared. She still doesn't dare to see people. We have wanted to see Miss Shishi for a long time. Miss Shishi made it clear that if anyone can pass one level, they will have the opportunity to meet her. If they can pass three levels in a row, , you can make a request.”
"Our Mr. Fengli was entrusted by us to let Miss Shishi show her face in front of us."
Another thing, his words seemed to indicate that it was really possible for this talented scholar to combine the three songs of this master girl.
Yunze looked through the window in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a table of eight people gathered around the Eight Immortals table in the lower right corner of the main hall. One of them was dressed in white and looked elegant. He seems to be a good young man.
Surrounded by several second-generation officials, all of them were arrogant and spoke in extremely arrogant tones. No wonder they dared to say that they wanted to demolish the restaurant. Based on their backgrounds, if this place were to be overthrown, few people would dare to offend them.
Hearing their clamor, the madam quickly came out to smooth things over and said, "Masters, don't worry... don't worry, Miss Shishi will be out soon..."
As her voice sounded, a curtain fell down on the stage in front, blocking half of the stage, and then someone played a guqin behind the scenes.
When everyone saw this scene, a look of anticipation suddenly appeared on their faces. Everyone stopped shouting and stared at the stage.
Soon, amidst everyone's expectations, a graceful figure appeared behind the scenes. She walked towards the piano table and sat down. His hands were on the piano. At this time, a pleasant voice sounded.
"Young masters, I will show my disgrace by expressing my love. If any of the spectators can watch me playing and the chorus comes in, I will meet this person. If I can connect the three songs, I will promise him a A reasonable request!”
Her voice is neither low nor high, neither humble nor arrogant. It gives people a sense of comfort and pleasantness. When everyone hears the words, their faces show a look of fascination. They are already fascinated by the sound before they see the person.
If this Master Li were so beautiful, he would be able to fascinate even more people. Yunze knew Li Shishi's beautiful name, and of course he knew that the other party's appearance was definitely good.
However, hearing this pleasant voice, Yunze felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she was full of doubts for a moment. She seemed to have never seen a woman who looked like Li Shishi!
Just as he was doubting, suddenly, the sound of the piano rang, and the elegant tune made Yunze's eyes show a look of surprise, this is... Swordsman! He once only taught Xian'er from Wanhua and Lou.
Although this piece can be heard in Cen Ting Restaurant, very few people perform it. This piece is considered to be a difficult one among the many pieces taught by Yunze, and only a few people can really master it.
Even if they master this piece of music, there are not many people who can play it as well as Xian'er. Yunze never thought that he would hear the song "Swordsman" here.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered why that sweet voice felt so familiar. Wasn't it Xian'er's voice? However, compared to the previous Xian'er, the current Xian'er's voice is a bit sadder.
It was this sadness that made her voice seem to change. This is why Yunze didn't dare to confirm for a while.
Now, he was absolutely sure that Master Li inside was the Xian'er he knew before. Yunze was a little stunned. He didn't expect that he had met Master Li so early.
Who would have thought that Xian'er, who used to be Wanhua and Lou, would be Master Li who was famous in the capital in his previous life. No wonder she is so good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. A talented woman is a talented woman.
Yunze didn't expect that he would have a chance to see Xian'er again after leaving Danyang. However, he didn't know why she came to the capital. Judging from the sadness in her voice, she was probably filled with sadness at this time.
Yunze had previously guessed that Xian'er might be a person under King Kang and Ming. However, since King Kang assassinated him and when King Ming sent the princess to protect him, he knew that Xian'er was a person under King Kang.
Could it be that Xian'er came to the capital for him, or maybe she had other tasks? Couldn't the blueprints he gave her bring her freedom?
But then she thought about it, she was already in the hands of King Kang, and she was afraid that it would not be that simple to escape.
As Yunze frowned, he was considering whether to go see Xian'er. At this moment, a sound of guzheng sounded from below, and soon merged into the sound of the piano.
