When Shen Jiao was first sent here, she was still an inconspicuous prostitute in Yichun Tower, and she was about to go on stage to play the pipa for the guests.
Shen Jiao was immediately dumbfounded, she couldn't do it at all!
Fortunately, the system told her that after passing through the previous world, it was no longer a primary system! It has been gloriously upgraded to an intermediate system!
【Yeah? ! congratulations. Then can you help me play the pipa? 】
System: [...No. 】
Shen Jiao's attitude instantly became cold: [Oh. 】
Still as useless as before...
The system quickly proved itself: [But I can make some small interference in the mission world, such as... tampering with the memories of people present! 】
Shen Jiao blinked, [You mean...]
【right! That's right! As a host, you can do whatever you want! 】
The dancers in front had already retired, and it was Shen Jiao's turn to appear.
Shen Jiao hugged the pipa, took a deep breath, and decided to trust the system for once.
After Shen Jiao came on the stage, she bowed slightly to the guests and sat down gracefully. Holding the pipa in front of her, her green-white fingertips gently plucked the strings.
"Thum, thump, thump! ~~ thump, thump! ~~ thump~~ thump!"
Shen Jiao held the pipa and played randomly. The sound of the pipa made her ears hurt.
However, to the ears of the guests nearby, the sound of Shen Jiao's pipa was like the sound of nature, and they felt that the Kunshan jade was broken and the fragrant orchids were weeping. It seemed that they had come not to a place of pleasure, but to an elegant music hall.
"This Yichun Tower is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon!"
"Oh my god, I've never heard someone play so well..."
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful! This song can only be heard in heaven, and it's rare to hear it in the human world!"
Some people even had wet eyes when they heard it and quietly wiped away tears.
When the system said it was OK, Shen Jiao removed her hands that were numb from the shock from the pipa strings.
Listening to the cheers of the guests, Shen Jiao stood up slowly without changing her expression, saluted the guests below and left.
He looks very classy and has everyone's style.
But only Shen Jiao knew that her legs were weak when she came down.
…
After this battle, Shen Jiao's reputation was completely established in Yichun Tower.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Shen Jiao never showed up in front of others, either wearing a veil or behind a gauze curtain.
So those guests could only see flowers in the mist, and vaguely saw a graceful figure through the gauze curtain. But even if it was just like this, it still caught their imagination.
Originally, Mrs. Shen was just a prostitute who excelled at playing the pipa, but her half-hidden charm attracted countless people to spend a lot of money on her just to meet her.
Lady Shen's reputation became more and more popular, and even some dignitaries in the capital came to listen to her play the pipa.
General Huo liked to listen to music. He accidentally heard of her reputation and came to invite her to play a piece of music.
And Shen Jiao's target this time is also General Huo Qi.
The original owner was originally an unknown prostitute in Yichun Tower, who was a prostitute rather than a prostitute.
Her pipa playing is mediocre, but her skin is really good. The madam tried to seduce her several times, but she fought to the death. Later, the madam stopped trying to persuade her.
The original owner was arrogant and vain, and did not want to be a lowly prostitute all his life.
So she seduced the romantic Huo Qi.
Huo Qi had a one-night fling with her and never thought of marrying her back.
But the original owner was also cruel. After sleeping with a wild man outside and getting pregnant, he came straight to her door with a full belly.
When Huo Qi saw that she was pregnant, he had doubts in his heart. After all, he also knew in his heart that he was old, so how could he possibly get pregnant at once.
But the original owner cried and made a fuss, saying that she could not be slandered by him in this way, and she wanted to jump into the river with the son in her belly.
When Huo Qi heard about his son, he didn't think about anything else. After all, the original owner hadn't been touched by anyone else that time.
So he immediately asked people to carry the original owner into the general's mansion.
Later, the original owner actually gave birth to a son for Huo Qi.
Huo Qi was so happy that he held a banquet for seven days and nights to celebrate.
Although the original owner was an aunt, the mother was more valuable than the son, so even the eldest lady in the house had to give her three points. The original owner was extravagant, and half of the entire household's annual expenses came from her.
Huo Qinian turned a blind eye even after she gave birth to a son. After all, he couldn't take the money with him when he died, and it didn't matter even if the original owner spent it all. Not to mention the wealth of the General's Mansion, she wouldn't be able to spend it all even if she spent another hundred years like this.
But this life did not last long... The original owner's son unfortunately died when he was one year old.
Huo Qi lost his son in his old age. He was very sad and fainted immediately.
The original owner was also very sad, but she was not sad that her son had died, but that her good days were coming to an end.
Huo Qi is getting older and his health is getting worse. He is afraid that he may not live long. When Huo Qiyi dies, as a concubine, she will definitely be dealt with severely by the grudge-filled eldest lady.
So the original owner turned her attention to the male protagonist Huo Changze, who had just returned triumphantly from the border. The original owner had been seducing him overtly and covertly, and even secretly drugged him.
Huo Changze, thinking that she was Huo Qi's concubine, gave her a severe warning but did not kill her. However, the original owner was determined to be evil and hooked up with the enemy's spies again.
The spy coaxed her into drugging Huo Changze, saying that he would marry her and take her to enjoy all the glory and wealth when the matter was accomplished. The original owner was also stupid. He really believed the spy and drugged Huo Changze.
In the end, of course, Huo Changze discovered her and poured the entire bowl of poison into her mouth, which ended up bleeding to death from all her orifices.
And Shen Jiao's mission this time is to marry into the general's mansion and change the fate of the original owner's tragic death.
…
【...Why do you have to get married? 】Can’t she be fine alone?
The system explained: [Because that is the turning point of the original owner's destiny. Only there can the original owner's destiny be completely changed. 】
【All right. 】
[Then will you protect me? 】
The system proudly puffed up its non-existent chest and said in a confident tone: [Of course it will! 】
Although it was terrible to marry an old man, Shen Jiao still gritted her teeth and closed her eyes in order to fulfill her mission.
…
"Thump~~thump~~thump!!"
Shen Jiao had cotton stuffed in her ears and plucked the strings randomly with an expressionless expression.
Over this period of time, her ears were tortured as she listened to the magical sounds she played.
So she couldn't stand it anymore and put a ball of cotton in her ears every time she played to protect her ears.
But to Huo Qi's ears, the sound of this music was really refreshing, melodious and melodious.
Gradually, he gave up his playful thoughts and listened carefully. He felt that the sound of music made him feel an unprecedented power, as if he had returned to the time when he was young and vigorous.
"Thump thump~ thump!"
Shen Jiao lost her grip for a moment, and the Pipa fell directly to the ground with a loud noise.
She quickly picked up the pipa and took a cautious look outside. She found that Huo Qi didn't notice anything and was still immersed in the wonderful music.
Damn, this skill is so awesome!
After the song ended, Shen Jiao felt blessed and said, "My little girl has shown her ugliness."
Huo Qi slowly opened his cloudy eyes, his thoughts still immersed in the glorious years of the past. He suddenly felt reluctant that the music had stopped.
Through the gauze curtain, Huo Qi looked at the woman playing the pipa, and felt some curiosity in his heart.
So Huo Qi directly ordered: "Come out and let me take a look."
He is a general, and although he has retired from the court at an advanced age, his words in Tianqi are still very important.
However, after hearing his order, the woman stood still and said, "This little woman has a low status and dare not show it in front of the adults for fear of staining the eyes of the adults."
Listening to her soft voice, Huo Qi felt as if his heart had been scratched gently by a cat.
So he directly ordered his men to lift the veil and push him in.
"Ah, sir..."
When Shen Jiao saw him coming in unexpectedly, she immediately knelt on the ground holding Pipa in her arms, lowering her head in panic and not daring to look directly at Huo Qi. Because of this movement, the white back of her neck was completely exposed, like a white swan being slaughtered.
Huo Qi smelled a scent as soon as he came in. It was not the vulgar smell of Yichun Tower, but the smell emanating from the person in front of him.
He was a little dizzy smelling the fragrance, and he was as irritable as a young boy: "Raise your head, raise your head and let me see."
It seemed that his tone was too harsh, and Huo Qi saw the woman kneeling on the ground trembling slightly.
So Huo Qifang lowered his voice, almost coaxing her: "Don't be afraid, I just want to get to know you."
The woman seemed to be moved by him, she slowly raised her head and fell into his eyes.
