Mingyue is talented and intelligent. Bai Song only hummed once and composed the music score in his heart. Then he played and sang it again in front of Bai Song, and paired it with the most popular lyrics, and a new song with old lyrics, "Shui Diao Ge Tou", was leisurely composed.
To Bai Song, this familiar tune still evokes memories and makes it easier to resonate.
Listening to the music, Bai Song drank wine and dreamed of the lake in the distance. Chang'an Fengyue was even more gorgeous in Mingyue's singing. After thinking about it, in this ancient secular world, there were still those endless love between children.
When Miss Mingyue stopped singing, Yu Qingqing couldn't help but clap her hands again, murmuring with dreamy eyes, "It sounds so good."
Yu Ji was also quite surprised, and took the initiative to talk to Bai Song: "Just by composing a simple tune, the water melody song has a new charm. It is the only one I have seen in my life. At the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, it will definitely make a sensation in Dongshi and be widely sung." of."
Yu Qingqing nodded with conviction: "Yeah, right now, we are just composing a new song. If we add new words, it will definitely sound better."
The Yu brothers and sisters were so sought after, which made Bai Song feel a lot more at ease. I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking, and it sounds good to modern people's senses, but these ancient people can't appreciate it.
Now it seems that the only worry has disappeared.
There are still six or seven days until the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it only takes a blink of an eye.
In addition to the singing girl, Mobai Bank also needs some festive decorations. Bai Song decided to go to the bank to take a look at it now.
Firstly, I wanted to listen to the new music for Qing'er, and secondly, I had been in the capital for a long time, but had never visited my shop. Thirdly, these two servants felt really uncomfortable staying in the brothel, and they probably wanted to leave already.
"Girl Mingyue, since it has been confirmed that you will perform on behalf of Mobai Qianzhuang at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, let me go to the East Market with me now to see Mobai Qianzhuang and meet my friends. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, We can be considered a family.”
Mingyue's eyes were full of joy, and she looked back at her mother in the corridor.
Only then did the madam come over with a smile on her face. She was watching from the side. She didn't hear anything else clearly, but she heard that Mr. Bai had decided to use his own Mingyue. She was so happy that it was hard to express in words.
"Mingyue, from now on, just do what Mr. Bai says. Mr. Bai is a serious person at first glance, and he won't bully us. I need to give you more advice from Mr. Bai in the future. Where does Mr. Bai tell you to go? , you go wherever you want, you know?”
Ming Yue was a little shy in her joy, and bowed slightly: "Yes, Ming Yue knows."
The old bustard turned to Bai Song with a smile on his face: "Mr. Bai, you are sure you want our Mingyue. It's just the money you mentioned last time..."
"Don't worry, one thousand taels of silver will not miss you even a penny. Now Mingyue will come with me, and I can bring the silver back by the way."
"Oh, sir, you are so polite. We are not in a hurry."
The itinerary was finalized, and a group of four people took a car from Quchifang to Dongshi.
Except for the brothel, the Yu family brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief, finally coming out of that uncomfortable place.
After coming out, Yu Qingqing gradually became more talkative, returned to the state of a little tit, and kept chirping in Bai Song's ear.
Either asking about banks, asking about money, or asking about poems, all the way along, there is no stopping for a moment.
After the noisy little tits entered Dongshi, their chirping sounds were gradually drowned in the more lively crowds.
The east and west markets of Chang'an City are prosperous markets that have been famous throughout the ages. They bring together Chang'an City's largest merchants, the richest products, and the densest number of customers. Even if they are not in the morning and lunch markets, there are customers and vendors from all walks of life. The market is always crowded.
Only when walking on the streets of the East Market, Chang'an, the thousand-year-old capital, truly shows its prosperity to the world. The streets are filled with gold, silver and jade ornaments, surrounded by young ladies from various families. There are tea stalls and wine shops along the way, and there is an endless stream of guests, and a cup of Water costs five cents, and anyone who comes is welcome, and it’s very lively.
A child in front of him was chasing after a man selling candied haws, perhaps because the adults wouldn't let him buy it. He was crying hoarsely, shaking the world.
Bai Song looked at it curiously and thought to himself, are there selling candied haws in Chang'an these days?
After thinking about it, I caught up with the vendor in front, bought a few bunches, distributed them to the three people behind me, and gave one to the crying child.
Bai Song was not favored by others, but was complained about, saying that children eat sweets and get worms in their teeth.
Bai Song felt like he was back in his childhood.
The three people behind were holding candied haws, and only Yu Qingqing smiled broadly and liked it very much.
The other two people looked puzzled. How could a young master like this be born with a childlike mind?
Not to mention the excitement along the way, the group found out where Mobai Bank was. After finishing the candied haws, they finally arrived at the entrance of the bank.
Mobai Qianzhuang chose to be located in the most prime location of the East Market and rented two large and luxurious shops with double floors. The entrance hall was brand new and the house number was even more shining. Compared with the surrounding shops, it was no different.
"Wow! What a grand shop!" Yu Qingqing was so shocked that she opened her mouth at the first sight, and finally threw the remaining bamboo sticks on the ground after eating the candied haws.
If the daughter of the Yu family can say she is grand, then this shop is truly grand.
Seeing the arrogant Mo Bai Qianzhuang, the three of them finally understood why Bai Song could spend a thousand taels of silver to invite Miss Mingyue to sing. It turned out to be the owner who was not short of money.
It was just the first time that the Yu family brothers and sisters met a rich young master like Bai Song among those who came to Beijing to study. They all had some doubts about what this person was doing and why his family was so rich.
However, there was something strange in front of the Mobai Bank. Compared with the bustle of the surrounding shops, Mobai Bank seemed a little deserted. Only pedestrians were seen coming and going, but no one was seen entering the bank.
Bai Song knew that the people of Chang'an still didn't know what a bank was, and banknotes were not yet circulated here. Everything had to depend on the Lantern Festival later.
Bai Song didn't care about this. Just as he was about to invite a few people in, a familiar voice came towards him, and a familiar figure stopped in front of Bai Song.
"Bai Song!"
Bai Song opened his mouth wide and rubbed his eyes.
"Chen Xirong!"
The person who came was none other than Miss Chen Xirong of the Chen family.
Chen Xirong's eyes were full of sweet smiles, full of joy, and she looked at Bai Song with a smile: "Are you surprised?"
"Accident! This is so unexpected! Why are you here?"
"What? Forgot what you said before parting? The Chen family also wants to come to the capital to seek development."
"Remember, of course I remember. I just didn't expect the Chen family to move so quickly. Did you also open a store in Dongshi?"
Chen Xirong nodded and pointed to a small shop next to Mobai Qianzhuang. There was a plaque hanging on it that read "Chen's Bookstore". The wooden sign at the door reads "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, complete set in stock, limited quantity, first come first served."
"My Chen family will take over the business that your young master Bai family doesn't like. Mr. Bai, you won't hold a grudge as before, right?"
Bai Song was stunned for a while, he really didn't expect that Chen Xirong would go to Chang'an to betray the Three Kingdoms.
Now Bai Song's main business is a bank, and the bank's business is tens of millions of times greater than selling novels. Even if there are channels to sell books, Bai Song will not worry about it.
"when did you come?"
"It's been a few days. I heard from your guy that Master Bai has been in the capital for many times, but he has never even taken a look at his shop."
"Isn't it coming?"
Chen Xirong rolled his eyes and looked at the people following Bai Song. He said without saying anything more: "Okay, I still have something to do in my shop. Let's talk about it another day."
After saying that, he went to the book club without any delay.
There was not a single customer in the bank, only a few waiters dozing on the table.
Mo Zhu, who was the shopkeeper, stood at the window and stared at a small glazed water tank. He held a new branch of bamboo in his mouth and looked at the inside of the water tank seriously, not knowing what he was looking at.
This girl was so fascinated that she didn't even know that a guest was coming.
Bai Song walked over curiously, but Mo Zhu didn't react at all. Bai Song took a look at the glazed water tank and found that there were two goldfish in it.
"Hello!"
Bai Song shouted, and Mo Zhu was so frightened that he suddenly fell into the water with the bamboo in his mouth.
"Oh, it turns out the boss is here!"
Mo Zhu smiled and patted his forehead. He didn't feel that he was slacking off just now. Instead, he called Bai Song: "My boss, look, these fish and fish tank are rare items. Bamboo bought them from people in the Western Regions." Yes, it cost a full fifty taels of silver."
Bai Song frowned: "I gave you a salary increase and you came to buy this thing?"
"No, there are some others. I will show them to my boss later."
"Who cares about your junk? Is Qing'er here? Call them out."
Mo Zhu pouted, hugging his glass fish tank like a child, twisting his butt and going inside. He turned around and shouted: "Wait."
Bai Song poured a cup of tea and drank it. The three people who came with him looked at Bai Song's shop, all curious.
Yu Qingqing went online and walked around, and soon found the pen and paper on the counter.
Especially that one, it attracted the little tit at a glance.
Yu Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself, isn't this the charcoal pen used in the Bai Song exam?
Yu Qingqing took the pen and tried it on the paper on the counter. She felt it felt strange and frowned.
"Hey! Don't touch the things up there."
One of the guys shouted.
Yu Qingqing hurriedly put it down and looked at Bai Song.
The guys here are all brought from Jixian County and they all know their boss.
Bai Song shook his head and signaled them to leave it alone, and the guys continued to doze off.
In the noisy Dongshi, it is rare to find a quiet place away from the world. People feel more decadent in the bank, not to mention that it is really a bit loose and poetic.
"Don't be formal, there are no guests anyway, just sit down wherever you want."
Bai Song said hello, and Mingyue and Yu Ji sat down respectively. The guys brought them tea, and then continued to doze off.
It was probably because drowsiness was contagious or because the weather was relatively strong this afternoon. Soon, several people also started to doze off.
When I was drowsy, Qing'er came slowly from the backyard.
Bai Song cheered up and told Qing'er his plan.
But she didn't tell Qing'er that she wrote the song herself, saying that Miss Mingyue was gifted and wrote the new song.
Only in this way will you not be called lazy.
Qing'er took Mingyue upstairs to listen to the new song. Yu Qingqing ran over with pen and paper and sat opposite Bai Song, asking Bai Song to teach her how to sketch.
