Chapter 22 That year I sold my sorrow for three gold coins

Fengyun City has been a very comfortable summer for Li Mingzhu. The Tianshan Mountains span the Dongxuan Territory and Beixuan Territory, and Fengyun City is adjacent to the Tianshan Mountains. There is ice and snow on the mountains that does not melt all year round. The nearest valley is only three miles away from Fengyun City.

Ten miles of land.

In the hot summer, you can often enjoy the cool breeze blowing from the icebergs and drink fruits packed with ice cubes brought from the mountains. This is a pleasure that cannot be found in Sifang City.

The guests who come to Hongxiu Tower for entertainment are either after Wei Shi or after You Shi. No one will come at noon.

There happened to be no guests, so the two sisters were lying on the bamboo chairs on the fourth floor, humming a little tune and chatting about home affairs.

Li Mingzhu squinted her eyes, shook her cooling fan, and said softly to Li Hongxiu: "Don't think about selling this building. Come with me to Sifang City. There are many people there and there is a lot of money. It's not like here in the small city where there are few people and you can make a lot of money."

No more than a few taels of silver."

Li Hongxiu also half-closed her eyes, holding an embroidered fan and shaking it lightly, not sure if it was to fan the wind or to drive away mosquitoes.

After listening to my sister's advice to sell the property, I couldn't help but open my eyes and rolled my eyes at Li Mingzhu. "As we get older, we are used to staying in one place and don't want to move anymore!"

"You are less than thirty, why are you so old? Find a man and marry yourself." Li Mingzhu stretched out her hand and drank all the herbal tea, so she shouted to Xiaohong Xiaolai to pour the tea.

After shouting, he looked at Li Hongxiu's nonchalant expression and said mysteriously: "I think Li Ye, who plays with Yu'er, has a good master, Mr. Mo, who is good at literature and martial arts. You and I are a perfect match.

"

"If you two become a couple, it will definitely be Qin Se and Ming. They are a perfect match!" Li Mingzhu laughed and said from the side.

After listening to this, Li Hongxiu was stunned, thinking that she hadn't thought about this yet? She waved her feather fan, pointed at Li Mingzhu and said: "Do you think I am a woman who can't get married? Are you so impatient to get married?"

Are you having a baby?"

When Li Mingzhu heard this, she became anxious and shouted: "I'm talking about you, why are you teasing me? I'm your sister, do you know the rules?"

"A eldest sister is like a mother. This mother is no longer here, so you have to listen to me." Li Mingzhu roared.

Li Hongxiu rolled her eyes again and didn't answer. She thought to herself: You said a lot, it goes in my left ear and comes out in my right ear.

While the two sisters were talking, Xiaohong came in with a pot of herbal tea. Looking at the two of them, she thought that the two ancestors were at odds again. She poured tea for each of them and handed it to their hands.

Li Mingzhu took a sip of tea, but still didn't give up, and said again: "How about waiting for Yu'er to come back and ask her to talk to Li Ye and ask him to find a chance for you and Mr. Mo to sit down again?"

After hearing this, Li Hongxiu laughed angrily and spat: "Don't forget that you are a mother. Do you think you would ask your daughter to pull strings for your aunt? You are not ashamed."

"What's wrong with being a mother? It's natural to find a brother-in-law for your sister. Who dares to laugh?" Li Mingzhu looked at her and said angrily.

Xiaohong was grinning. When she heard Li Mingzhu's words, she was frightened and picked up the tea and drank it fiercely. As a result, she was so angry that she spat it out in one gulp.

Li Hongxiu laughed loudly. She covered her mouth and said, "Don't worry about her, Xiaohong, she is in her prime."

Li Mingzhu looked at her sister with disgust and said with a serious face: "Yu'er followed Wushuang to the Great Buddha Temple to find Li Ye this morning. It looks like the sky will be back soon. I'll talk to you soon."

Li Hongxiu looked at her unwilling sister, with two red clouds flying over her face. She thought to herself: I really haven't really seen your husband seriously, although I have seen him a few times.

"What do the two sisters say about this guy Li Ye?" Xiaohong, who didn't know the truth, interrupted.

"Tell me... how are you and Chunxiang doing with the music you brought back from Li Ye?" Li Hongxiu patted her heart and thought, I am the quickest to reflect.

Li Mingzhu looked at her sister and was speechless. Following her sister's words, she said, "Didn't I say that someone in the city heard it and said it was very moving? Hurry up and practice!"

"You've almost practiced. You can sing it to the guests tomorrow or the day after." Xiaohong was surprised that the two sisters changed the topic to themselves in the blink of an eye.

"Well, hurry up. Let the guests know tomorrow that they can order this song. It's just a matter of how much they charge." Li Hongxiu frowned when she thought about charging. If she charges more, the guests will have objections, but if she charges less, she won't accept it.

, this cost a lot of money.

Li Mingzhu simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at Li Hongxiu and Xiaohong. She murmured in her heart: This woman, as soon as she talked about finding a man for her, her face turned red and shy; when she turned around and talked about making money, she immediately looked like a mother.

Tiger, what a businessman who makes huge profits!

He sighed softly and said, "I seem to have heard someone say that flowers should be broken when they are ready, and branches should not be broken when there are no flowers left!"

Li Hongxiu's eyes widened and she was about to speak.

The little red mouth quickly answered: "Yeah, yes, hurry up, while everyone in the city is interested in this song, we can make more money."

The two sisters looked at Xiao Hong and wondered where this weird thing came from!

"Where are the flowers? My aunt took Sister Wushuang and me to pick them!" La la la, the two ladies are back!

Looking at the two little girls who were red and green and as beautiful as flowers, the two sisters were also speechless. They were all going nowhere, it was a mess.

Li Hongxiu held Shangguan Wushuang's hand, while Dongfang Yu'er lay on Dongfang Mingzhu's body.

Touching the little sister's little head, Li Hongxiu said softly: "What did you two eat for lunch? Are you hungry? If you are hungry, ask Xiaohong to buy cakes."

Li Mingzhu hugged her daughter and used her hands to straighten Dongfang Yuer's hair that was messed up by the wind.

Asked: "Have you seen Li Ye? Why did that kid go to the temple? Didn't he just come out of seclusion at my husband's place, and then went to the Great Buddha Temple to see the old monk."

Dongfang Yu'er broke away from Li Mingzhu and ran to hold hands with Miss Wushuang. The two found a stool and sat down.

Counting on his little finger, he said: "Sister Wushuang, I, Agui from Li Ye's house, and an old tailor from the city ate vegetarian food in the temple's dining hall. It was delicious. We both finished it, monk."

The meal prepared by the master."

The young lady tilted her head, thought for a moment and said, "I heard from the old monk that he taught Li Ye a set of boxing techniques. But when we went there, he was in a daze under the bodhi tree, so we didn't see him practicing."

The two ladies started talking one after another.

"Why is the old tailor in the city following Agui to the temple?" Li Hongxiu was confused.

"Li Ye made clothes for his old monk master, and he hired an old master from the Jinxiu Garment Store in the city." Dongfang Yu'er said first.

Miss Wushuang closed her mouth and said: "He spent the gold coins you gave him. He gave ten to the old tailor and ninety to his master. Yu'er and I are still waiting to split the money. This

It’s been several days and I still haven’t received my share!”

The two sisters and Xiao Hong laughed out loud when they heard this. These two young ladies were so cute, and they were still eager to share the five hundred gold coins that Li Ye got from Li Hongxiu.

Well, I haven’t received the money yet. I’ve already spent a hundred dollars.

Li Hongxiu said with a smile: "You two little brats, why don't you give up? Aren't the rest of his money still with his husband? You two wait until he comes out of the temple and go find him! I think he dares

No!"

When the two young ladies heard what Li Hongxiu said, they looked at each other and clapped their hands. That meant: He can run away, but the monk can't run away from the temple. Just wait and see.

Dongfang Yu'er looked at her mother, wanting to act coquettishly, and said, "Mom, you just told your aunt where you want to pick flowers? Can you take me and sister Wushuang with you?"

Li Mingzhu, who had already stopped laughing, laughed again when he heard his daughter's question. "What kind of flowers are you picking? Your aunt said, let's see how much a piece of music I can get from Li Ye can be sold for!"

"

"I remembered, the guest who heard this song last time said: "If this song can be heard in our Hongxiu Tower, he is willing to pay two gold coins." Xiaohong shouted.

It should be noted that the average guest's consumption at Hongxiu Tower is only five gold coins.

Miss Wushuang held her chin with her hand and said, "This is too cheap. They will get tired of listening to one song, and they won't be able to sell it at the same price if they ask Li Ye for the song in the future."

The young lady is a money addict.

Dongfang Yu'er has been in the Domain Lord's Mansion since she was a child. She doesn't understand the value of money and can only nod along with the young lady.

Li Mingzhu looked at her sister, thought for a while, and said, "They can afford this price if it's five gold coins."

Li Hongxiu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Try it first, three gold coins per song, and you can only order it twice a day."

Miss Wushuang also nodded and said, "That's right, take your time, don't let them hear enough at one time!"

"Also, Li Ye will be under the control of me and Yu'er from now on. If you Hongxiulou asks him for lyrics and music, you will have to go through us and share the money with me." The young lady took Dongfang Yu'er's little hand and began to declare.

Sovereignty.

The two young ladies' eyes were shining and their faces were red, as if they were about to count the gold coins that belonged to them.

Li Hongxiu was not tired at all. She looked at the self-portrait hanging on the wall. She sat down in front of the piano, placed her hands on the strings, closed her eyes and meditated. The sound of the piano flowed out from her fingers, and she hummed softly:

Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of appearance,

The spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is strong.

If I hadn’t seen you at the top of Qunyu Mountain,

We will meet each other under the moon at Yaotai.

Li Hongxiu played and sang once. The first time the piano sound and the singing voice were a bit jerky, but when she played the second time, they were already very smooth.

At this time, the guests had not yet arrived, and the entire Hongxiu Building was filled with only the melodious music of the piano and the resentful voice of the owner of the Hongxiu Building. Li Mingzhu and Xiaohong were both fascinated by the sound, and tears could not help but fall from the corners of their eyes.

The two young ladies listened to the beautiful voice, but they thought: Well, this song can also be sold for a price higher than three gold coins.

Occasionally, pedestrians passing by on the street downstairs couldn't help but stop and listen when they heard the resentful singing.

The clouds are clear, the wind is clear, and the sun is just right.

People are crazy and resentful, but who knows my heart.

Li Mingzhu was thinking in her mind, when will she find an opportunity to bring Li Hongxiu to see Mr. Mo and bring this matter out in person, maybe, maybe, it will be done?

Li Hongxiu was murmuring in her heart, this sister really had enough to eat and had nothing to do, so she was actually thinking of becoming a matchmaker.
