Although this meeting is called the joint selection of the three kings, everyone knows tacitly that the selected geishas will be presented to the emperor first. After the emperor has included the satisfactory candidates into the palace, the remaining girls will be rewarded to the princes respectively. .
When the man saw Wei Jing coming to the table, he stood up and said, "The boss invited me. I wonder what the boss calls me? Are you bringing a girl to participate in the selection this time?"
Wei Jing bowed his hands and said, "Exactly, I am Wu Chengyan, the owner of Jinan Mingquan Building. Today I brought the top names in the building to try my skills. I hope you can give me some advice!"
Then he took a bag of silver and secretly stuffed it into the other party's hand, and the two characters "Cheng Yan" merged into "Sincerity". This was Wei Jing's allusion that he "came without sincerity", so he was naturally a fake.
That Quanlou was a small restaurant in Jinan, and it was not well-known in the local area. Its owner was the contact person of the Sima family in Jinan. Wei Jing casually mentioned the name of a place far away, thinking that even if the other party knew that there was such a restaurant Restaurants, most of them don’t know much about the personnel situation.
The man immediately smiled with a smile on his face and said politely: "Boss Wu, you're welcome. Xue Jian, if you have anything to do with this selection meeting, just come to me!"
At this time, Yuqin also bowed and bowed. Xue Jian saw that she was advancing and retreating appropriately, and her movements were in a good manner. It was obvious that she was familiar with this, and she cheered inwardly.
Xue Jian added: "Boss Wu, although your girl seems to be of high qualifications, she still has to go through the routine. I hope the boss won't be offended!"
Wei Jing smiled and said: "No wonder, no blame! Of course, what needs to be done must be done!"
Then he winked at Chao Yuqin.
Yuqin understood, and after giving another salute to Xue Jian, he took off the "Fengming" on his body, then sat on the cushion prepared in advance, placed the "Fengming" in front of him, and started playing the piano!
The jade hand of the elm qin waved gently, and only three first sounds of the phoenix were heard. The sharp edge was revealed, just like a long sword being coldly unsheathed. Others were shocked by the sharp sound of the qin. The chatter and noise suddenly stopped, and everyone followed. Then he moved around and gathered around Yuqin, whispering from time to time, wondering who this girl was?
After the phoenix chirps three times, it begins to clank, rising and falling. The strings are light and short, but the sound is sharp, just like a swordsman dancing alone in the forest, stabbing or stabbing, cutting or picking, very agile and agile. Change.
In the middle of the music, the sound of the piano alternates between long and short. The short-term sound is like a drizzling rain hitting banana leaves, and the long-term sound is like the rustling autumn wind passing through the long forest. Many people's blood surges unconsciously, and they can't help but want to pick up something and wave it around. , to vent the inexplicable fighting spirit in his heart.
After another long while, the music came to an end, and the long and short music gradually softened and turned into a long and soft tune, just like the sword strokes coming to an end, and finally stopped, following the swordsman in the music, holding the sword behind his back, letting the autumn wind blow around him, and he was full of joy. , at this time the sound of the piano stopped, and the spectators applauded loudly as if they were waking up from a dream.
Xue Jian also cheered loudly and said to Wei Jing: "With such piano skills, Xue believes that Boss Wu is invincible. Four days later, Xue will be waiting for you two here!"
It turns out that when the girls register for the competition, in order to avoid cheating, Xue Jian will take a test first to see if their skills are up to par. The weaker ones will be eliminated at the first level.
Yuqin just stood up at this time, first bowed to Xue Jian, and then saluted the crowd. Everyone saw that although she was wearing a gauze scarf and could not see her true face, her movements were full of charm, her temperament was refined, and she was also good at playing the piano. She was in a state of ecstasy, so when she finished saluting, everyone cheered again.
Wei Jing nodded and said, "Thank you very much. Let's say goodbye today and see you again here in four days!"
After bowing to the crowd, he walked out of the venue with Yuqin and his head held high.
When the two of them finally left Yiselou, Wei Jing couldn't help but ask: "The music just now was very exciting, but I have never heard it before. Is this a music that Miss Qin has recently been inspired to compose by herself?"
Yuqin nodded and said: "In those days when I was in Baishui Temple, I saw you practicing swordsmanship in the forest every day. The sky was crisp and the autumn wind was rustling. The master's use of the sword was pleasing to the eye. I felt something in my heart, so I wrote this poem " "Qiulin Sword Song", fortunately everyone just cheered, so I didn't embarrass the young master."
Wei Jing laughed and said, "What are you talking about, Miss Qin? Who dares not to applaud loudly after listening to your piano skills? I, Wei, will be the first one to get into trouble with him!"
Yuqin smiled and said: "Master, don't talk nonsense, you won't embarrass others over such a trivial matter."
The two of them chatted and laughed all the way back to Xinyang Inn.
Early the next morning, Wei Jing and Yu Qin were having breakfast in the lobby of the hotel. At this time, a dashing and neatly dressed young female swordsman suddenly walked in from the door, attracting a few peeks from the guests who were dining. She After walking into the lobby, he looked around. When he saw Wei Jing, he smiled happily. He walked to the table and said hello: "Second Master!"
Wei Jing was talking to Yu Qin just now and did not notice the female swordsman. At this time, she said hello, and Wei Jing noticed her and smiled: "Miss He! Come to the table and have something to eat together!" "
It turns out that the female swordsman is He Wanci, a diner of the Sima family, and the sword Yuqin is using now is the one she left in the Sima family's warehouse.
Since He Wanci was out and about for a long time, the two women did not know each other. Wei Jing also took the opportunity to introduce them. Although He Wanci took his seat, he did not move his chopsticks and just said that he had already used his breakfast.
After the introduction of the two women was completed, He Wanci first handed the two envelopes to Wei Jing. They saw that the envelopes were very thick and seemed to have a lot of paper in them. He then said: "Second Master, the results of the investigations that everyone has done in the past few days. Among them, King Xian of Liang and King of Shu Zhao have always acted openly and are easier to find out. Only King Jing Gong has a low-key and restrained style, so the brothers did not gain much. In addition, this letter is a reply from the fourth master. Please keep it carefully, the second master. .”
Wei Jing took it and said, "Thank you for your hard work! In three days, there will be a joint selection meeting for the three kings. Miss Qin and I will pretend to be the brothel owner and the geisha and go to check it out. Boss Dong will also send several other people to the scene. I won't bother you then." Miss He has led them to do things. How should they behave that day? Please ask Miss He to come again tomorrow. I will write in the letter what I need your help with. You can just act accordingly."
He Wanci nodded and said: "Okay, I'll just take care of it. I wish you both success!"
After Wei Jing and Yu Qin thanked her, Yu Qin asked: "Miss He seems to rarely return to Sima's house? I stayed at the head office for a while some time ago, but I never saw Miss He return, and I never had the opportunity to talk about this. Thank you for everything."
He Wanci smiled and said: "Miss Yuqin, you don't have to be polite. This sword is light, slender, and of very good quality. It is suitable for women who are new to swordsmanship. It would be a pity to let it lie in the warehouse forever."
Yuqin nodded and said: "Yes, thank you very much, Miss He, but Miss He is busy with chores, so she has been running around outside?"
Speaking of this, Wei Jing suddenly couldn't help laughing. He Wanci's face turned red and she said angrily to Wei Jing: "Second Master!"
Wei Jing still couldn't stop smiling and replied to Yu Qin: "It's true that Miss He is busy with chores, but why is she always away from the main store? You'd better ask her yourself about this!"
Yu Qin was very puzzled and looked at He Wanci. From the moment he entered the inn until he finished talking about business, his movements were clean and tidy, looking like an informal heroine, but at this moment, he suddenly became nervous.
He Wanci had a complicated expression and said helplessly: "It's up to you, the second boss, to make the decision."
Only then did she pick up the cup and take her first sip of tea. Wei Jing said to Yuqin: "That's it...this...Brother Zuo Siyuan seems to admire Miss He quite a lot. Whenever Miss He returns to the main store, Brother Zuo likes to go find her." say."
Yuqin asked: "Brother Zuo?"
Wei Jing said: "Yes, many people in the Sima family know about this matter. The third brother, fourth sister, seventh sister, Aunt Xu, and Brother Zhang Rongting also know about it."
He Wanci was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "How come even Zhang Rongting knows about it?"
Wei Jing smiled and said: "Miss He, don't underestimate Brother Zhang. He is usually taciturn and seems not to care much about others. In fact, he has a very good mind. Many things cannot escape his notice, but he doesn't like to talk. That's all. "
