He Wei

I have to say that it is different even if you have money, and even the private room arranged is different from other private rooms.

There is a half-covered green gauze hanging on the window, as long as the people in the room lift the green gauze, they will find that they are in the only room in Tianxiang Building facing the stage, and the actions on and off the stage can be seen clearly. The slightest change can be seen in the eyes, it is really not easy to get more positions.

Jiang Qi, as a "regular customer" who often comes to Tianxiang Tower to listen to music, did not come to such a private room. Most of the time he sat in the lobby below to see his sweetheart from the shortest distance.

It was thanks to Xue Chengyu's money that he was able to come here this time, and he thanked him countless times as soon as he entered the room, which made Xue Chengyu very embarrassed.

In fact, Xue Chengyu didn't expect Jiang Qi to thank him so much when he took out the money just now, it was just out of brotherhood for many years.

Ever since Jiang Qi was dragged to Tianxiang Tower by other sons a year ago to meet Qin Ji, his heart seemed to have been stolen.

From then on, Jiang Qi began to frantically go to Tianxiang Tower like a demon. For a while, Jiang's mother thought that her son was fascinated by a fox spirit, so she went to Tianxiang Tower to catch Jiang Qi himself.

It was very unfortunate that Qin Ji was performing on stage that day, and Jiang Qi was also listening to the music in the audience. As soon as Jiang's mother entered the Tianxiang Tower, she saw her son in bright clothes, and immediately grabbed him from his seat.

Not caring about putting on airs for Mrs. Zhizhou, she walked out holding Jiang Qi's sleeve.

At this time, Qin Ji held Qin Ji and came to Jiang Mu to stop her. Jiang Mu was surprised when she saw the parasol guqin in Qin Ji's arms.

Afterwards, under Jiang Qi's constant questioning, Jiang's mother told him about Qin Ji's life experience, and Jiang Qi didn't know what to do for a while.

Qin Ji's surname is Li, and her father was a former general who died in battle without protecting the country's territory, leaving her mother and daughter to live a hard life in the lonely general's mansion.

The widows and orphans of these people who sacrificed their lives for the country should have been sealed after the new emperor ascended the throne, but he didn't want someone in the court to secretly manipulate and blame the general for the defeat of the army. The little emperor listened to the slander and punished the general. All those involved were killed.

Jiang's father met the general. Although he wanted to rescue his wife and daughter, an accident occurred on the way. After a fire, the news was cut off.

Father Jiang was also demoted for rescuing the wives and daughters of criminal officials. He was transferred from inside and outside the court to Jiangnan, and then transferred to other places as magistrates, all the way.

What's more, the rescued person hid in the south of the Yangtze River by hiding his name and changing his identity, but he was exiled to the land of fireworks to make a living as a performer.

Jiang's mother sympathized with Qin Ji's life experience and wanted to redeem Qin Ji from Tianxiang Building, but at that time Qin Ji had become a cash cow for Tianxiang Building, and the old mother saw that Jiang's mother was an official family, so the lion opened her mouth and was paid 2000 taels Willing to let people go.

Jiang's father had been an upright official for half his life, and the Zhizhou annual salary was only 1000 taels, which was enough for the family to live and Jiang Qi to go out for fun, but where did he find the 2000 taels for a while, so he had to put the matter aside.

Whenever Jiang Qi told Xue Chengyu about this matter, there was sadness in his eyes. For this reason, Xue Chengyu also thought of many ways but failed to help Jiang Qi. He could only give Jiang Qi some financial support behind his back, so that Jiang Qi could meet his sweetheart. wishes.

But this time Xue Chengyu decided to do good things to the end and send Buddha to the west.

The people who played the piano were already crowded under the stage, and after some noise, they sat down in their respective places.

Jiang Qi predicted that Miss Qin Ji would start soon, so she pulled away the green gauze happily, leaned on the railing, and waited for Miss Qin Ji to show up.

A quarter of an hour later, the venue suddenly became quiet, and the red silk on the stage opened without wind, revealing a slight gap, as if for people to spy on.Then there was only a loud qin sound from the red silk, which represented the official start of the performance.

The sound of the zither was sometimes clear and melodious, and gradually became hurried and noisy, like the iron hooves of a large army. At the same time, when the red silk opened to reveal the true face of Lushan Mountain, the guests in the audience applauded unanimously.

In fact, there are very few people who really understand the piano, most of them come to see the beauty, and many disciples discuss how to embrace the beauty in the audience.

Qin Ji was dressed in a light blue dress, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her skin was fat. She kept plucking her delicate fingers on the strings, playing a beautiful tune.

Different from the other vulgar fans in the building, Qin Ji is like a white lotus that emerges from the mud and is not stained. Although she makes a living as a performer, she has never been contaminated by the world. Fairy in general.No wonder Jiang Qi is so obsessed with Qin Ji, seeing her today is really extraordinary.

After one song was played, Xu Hong heard the song just after the previous sequence was played, and blurted out: "Miss Qin Ji played "Feng Qiuhuang". She knew that Mr. Jiang came to see her."

This time Xu Lang's reaction was really faster than Xue Chengyu's, why didn't he hear the song?But Xu Lang heard it, and couldn't help but make Xue Chengyu look at him with admiration.

"Xiao Lang has improved a lot, it seems that listening to the qin music on weekdays is not in vain."

Xu Lang lowered his head and smiled, poured a cup of tea for Xue Chengyu and handed it over, modestly said: "This is all taught by the young master."

Jiang Qi rolled his eyes helplessly listening to the conversation between the two, leaning on the railing alone and continuing to look at Qin Ji.

He seldom goes out for four months and doesn’t go home. The place he visited a while ago is close, and he can come back at the end of the first month and the end of the month when he has a lot of money in his hands, and take advantage of Qin Ji’s performance. Gadgets for her.And this time going north is also the farthest place she has gone to in these years, in order to get Qin Ji a token of engagement.

When Jiang Qi first gave Qin Ji a small gift, Jiang Qi was still worried about whether a general like Qin Ji would like these weird gadgets, but later facts proved that his worries were unnecessary, Qin Ji did not give up because of her He disliked Jiang Qi because of his previous status, and he was more knowledgeable and courteous in many things, which made Jiang Qi very pleased, even if he was accused of being a prostitute by an official's son, he still wanted to see Qin Ji.

In order to reduce Jiang Qi's burden, Qin Ji set the performance time at the beginning and end of each month.

Since Qin Ji is a huge cash cow, the old mother has no objection to Qin Ji's arrangement, as long as it can earn her more money, she likes it.

After "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" was finished, there was once again warm applause and cheers from downstairs, mixed with the sound of whistles, which made Jiang Qi feel like punching someone.

After meeting many times, Jiang Qi dreamed of taking Qin Ji out of this smoky place, but in the end he left alone.

How many times in the middle of the night I dreamed of being able to lie beside her and let her play for him alone. These seem to be elusive now.

2000 taels, it took him a year to save less than 300 taels, and the remaining 700 taels did not know when he would be able to save up.

Moreover, borrowing money in order to redeem someone from the brothel is not pleasant to say. Besides, even if Xue Chengyu is rich in business, he can't come up with so much silver for a while, and the matter of redeeming someone does not know when it will be realized.

After drinking tea, Xue Chengyu came to the railing and looked down. The girl Qin Ji was really beautiful like a fairy, and she couldn't help but praise: "You really are a wonderful person, very good--"

However, as soon as the words were finished, Xue Chengyu felt a pair of resentful eyes staring at him from behind, and turned around to see that it was Xu Hong as expected.

Xue Chengyu knew that what he said just now was wrong, so he immediately changed the subject: "Compared to my Xiaolang, it's still a bit inferior..."

Jiang Qi was so frightened that he couldn't breathe evenly when he heard this, he took a sip of tea, leaned on the railing and gnawed fiercely, thinking: Xue Chengyu has abandoned the bottom line in order to please Xu Hong, and he can say anything against his will, now Xue Chengyu and The old young master who was not caught in the wind and dust before is different...

Qin Ji held Qin and stood up to salute the guests. At the end, she still did not forget to raise the corners of her lips in the direction of the private room where Jiang Qi was, and smiled slightly.

Jiang Qi, who had been stunned for a moment, came back to his senses and hurriedly returned the gift, then left Xue Chengyu and Xu Hong alone, and ran downstairs to find Qin Ji to express his heartfelt feelings.

Seeing Jiang Qi rushing downstairs like losing his soul, Xu Lang was very puzzled, and asked full of doubts: "Young master, what did Young Master Jiang do?"

Xue Chengyu leaned on the railing and waved to Xu Lang.Signal him to go to his side, "Keep watching here and you will know."

Xu Lang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xue Chengyu's gourd, so he had to lie on the railing and watch his every move.

Just as Qin was about to leave the stage and go backstage, Jiang Qi arrived in time and stopped Qin Ji: "Xingyang! Wait!"

Qin Ji stopped when she heard the sound, turned around and looked at Jiang Qi with a smile on her face, and asked with concern: "Young Master Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing? Is the mountain road easy to walk?"

"I'm fine... I just miss you very much, I dream of you every day... I don't know if you are doing well after a few months..."

"I..." Qin Ji has long been used to Jiang Qi being so straightforward, she covered her mouth with a smile and then paused before continuing to answer: "I'm still the same, my mother asked me to perform according to the time arranged before, and my life is still passable..."

"It's good to live without being wronged..." Jiang Qi's tone was obviously weaker than before. No matter how you live this life committed to the brothel, you will be wronged Qin Ji, but what can you do now?

When he was sad, Jiang Qi remembered the purpose of coming today, and took out a small brocade box from his arms. After opening the box, there was a fine emerald bracelet inside.Jiang Qi took out the bracelet and put it on Qin Ji's hand, smiling very satisfied.

Qin Ji raised her hand to the light and looked at the bracelet. The bracelet was in good condition, and it must have cost a lot of money.

Even if you like it very much, you still don’t forget to say a few more words: "You are spending money on me again, don’t spend a lot of money like other official heirs, you can come to see me more and it will be the best gift you can give me. ..."

"Actually..." Jiang Qi thought for a long time and decided not to tell Qin Ji about borrowing money to buy the bracelet.

"I haven't given you anything this whole year... This bracelet is... counted as a token of love, how about it? I promise that no matter what method I use, I will redeem you, and I will take you home! You have a good time!"

Hearing this, Qin Ji's eyes were full of tears, she could see Jiang Qi's sincerity and knew that it was not easy for Jiang Qi, after all some things cannot be forced.

Seeing that Qin Ji was about to cry, Jiang Qi instantly became at a loss. He didn't care about wanting to wipe Qin Ji's tears away with his sleeve, "Don't cry, don't cry... If outsiders see it, they will think I'm bullying you...Here There are many people, let's go to the backyard."

Qin Ji nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, followed Jiang Qi to the backyard, and gradually disappeared from Xue Chengyu's sight.
