In the private room upstairs of Sanyuan Inn, Song Yinzhang's pretty face was full of spring. She was sitting on the edge of the fence, holding Gu Yue Pipa in her arms and playing it gently, immersed in the music. The downstairs of the inn was crowded with people listening to the music.
, the cheerful music sounded, and everyone who listened to the music was dissatisfied and intoxicated. Even Du Ziteng, the shopkeeper of Sanyuan Inn, was mesmerized. He sat quietly behind the counter with his eyes closed, shaking his head and listening to the sound of the pipa.
, he seemed to see the scene when he was in love with his wife when he was young. She was so beautiful, like the most brilliant blooming flower in spring. He was like a hard-working little bee, busy among the flowers,
Gathering nectar greedily until.
"The shopkeeper's, the shopkeeper's!"
Chi Yanei found out that Zhao Pan'er lived in the Sanyuan Inn, so he brought Lu Wu and others to the door. When he saw the shopkeeper of the Sanyuan Inn sitting quietly behind the counter with his eyes closed listening to music, and there was no answer no matter how he called, he felt deep in his heart.
Angry, he slapped the counter and cursed:
"Hey, are you deaf?"
"ah!"
Du Ziteng was busy "gathering nectar" when he was suddenly frightened by Chi Yanei. He couldn't help but feel weak all over. An ecstatic feeling spread from his lower body to his limbs instantly. Before he could recover, he saw Chi Yanei.
She walked up to him and asked sullenly:
"Is there someone named Zhao Pan'er living in your store?"
Looking at Chiyanei, who was very close at hand, Du Ziteng resisted the urge to urinate and replied:
"Excuse me, sir, but I don't know!"
"I don't know?"
Looking at Du Ziteng, Chi Yanei picked up two dried longans from the fruit plate on the counter, crushed them hard, and threatened:
"Do you know now?"
Listening to the sound of dried longan being crushed, Du Ziteng felt a chill on his crotch. He looked at Chi Yanei, who was threatening him, and then pointed to the elegant room upstairs with trembling arms. Chi Yanei suddenly understood that he was about to die.
He stuffed the crushed longan fruit into his hand and said with a smile:
"Thank you!"
After that, Chi Yanei led Lu Wu and others to the private room upstairs. After they left, Du Ziteng looked at the two longans in his hands, and then moved to the hut in the backyard of the inn with his legs crossed.
In the private room upstairs, Song Yinzhang was playing her Guyue Pipa when she suddenly heard a strange man's frivolous voice coming from behind and said:
"Ah, what a little wild flower from the south of the Yangtze River!"
Song Yinzhang was startled and turned around suddenly. When she saw Chi Yanei, she was startled and was about to turn around and run away. Lu Wu and others surrounded her again and couldn't escape. Song Yinzhang timidly hugged his Guyue Pipa.
Standing there, Chi Yameni saw Song Yinzhang looking so soft and weak, and couldn't help but want to tease him. He stopped Song Yinzhang and laughed and said:
"Beauty, don't leave. I'm here to find Zhao Pan'er. Do you know where she is?"
Hearing this, Song Yinzhang suppressed her fear, hugged her Gu Yue Pipa with all her strength, and said timidly:
"She is my sister, what do you want from her?"
"elder sister?"
Hearing Song Yinzhang say that Zhao Pan'er was her sister, Chi Yanei, Lu Wu and others looked at each other and smiled. He looked at Song Yinzhang and threatened:
"Your sister has offended me twice. What do you think we should do with her?"
Looking at the fierce looking Chi Yanei, Song Yinzhang couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said timidly:
"Although I don't know what I'm doing, we sisters are new to Tokyo and don't understand the rules. If I offend you, please forgive me."
After saying that, she gave Chi Yanei a slight blessing. Seeing that Song Yinzhang was so sensible, Chi Yanei was very satisfied. He looked at Lu Wu and others surrounding him and said with a smile:
"This little lady is just more sensible than that one!"
"Uh-huh!"
Lu Wu and others nodded playfully. At this time, Chi Yanei looked at Song Yinzhang again and said with a smile:
"It's easy to talk, as the saying goes, we don't know each other without fighting. If you are willing, accompany me to find a quiet place to sit for a while, and this matter can be over!"
"No, I won't go!"
Looking at Chi Yanei, who was obviously harboring ill intentions, Song Yinzhang turned around to leave, but was blocked by Chi Yanei. He saw Chi Yanei grabbing the handle of Song Yinzhang's Guyue Pipa and said with a smile:
"Beauty, don't leave, I'm a good person!"
"Don't touch my Pipa!"
Seeing Chi Yanei grabbing the handle of her Gu Yue Pipa, Song Yinzhang couldn't help but said anxiously that except for those closest to her, she couldn't bear anyone touching her Gu Yue Pipa, especially other men except Yuan Xudong.
Seeing that Song Yinzhang was anxious, Chi Yanei became even more aggressive. He grabbed Song Yinzhang's Gu Yue Pipa and played it randomly:
"I haven't even touched you, why are you shouting so loudly? Isn't it just a broken pipa? So what if I touch it? I still play it, so what if I play it?"
"you"
Seeing the scoundrel-like Chi Yanei, Song Yinzhang couldn't help but get angry. Coupled with the fact that Gu Yue Pipa, who felt sorry for her, would not stop doing anything, she simply took Gu Yue Pipa and smashed it at Chi Yanei's face. Chi Yanei was speaking.
While teasing the weak-looking Song Yinzhang, he didn't expect that she would suddenly move her hands. Unintentionally, she was hit on the right side of the face by the handle of the pipa. Her tongue hit her teeth, and she screamed suddenly, with blood flowing from her mouth.
, Song Yinzhang was startled, and while Lu Wu and others were in a daze, she quickly ran out holding her Guyue Pipa. At this time, Lu Wu and others came to their senses, and quickly surrounded Chi Yanei and expressed nervous concern.
:
"Yanei, you are bleeding!"
"Yanei, are you okay?"
"My tongue, you guys, what are you doing around me? Go chase her!"
Chi Yanei bit his tongue and couldn't speak clearly. When he saw Song Yinzhang running away, he couldn't help but feel angry, anxious and in pain. He hurriedly kicked Lu Wu and others, asking them to chase the culprit Song Yinzhang. At this time, Lu Wu
When they realized that Song Yinzhang had already run away, they hurriedly chased him out along the corridor, running and shouting:
"Stop, grab that little lady!"
Song Yinzhang hugged Gu Yue Pipa and ran away in panic. At this moment, she saw Sun Sanniang and hurriedly hid behind her and said in fear:
"Sister Sanniang, there are bad people!"
Seeing Chi Yameni leading a group of boys chasing Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang immediately blocked the front, pinched her waist with both hands and cursed:
"What the hell?"
Seeing that Sun Sanniang wanted to protect Song Yinzhang, Chi Yanei stood in front of her and said without any sign of weakness:
"It's my office!"
As soon as Chi Yanei finished speaking, Sun Sanniang slapped her with a big mouth, and there was a "pop" sound. At this moment, Zhao Pan'er and Yin Ping girl also came over and saw that Chi Yanei came to the inn to cause trouble for Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang.
, Zhao Pan'er didn't even think about it, just poured a cup of hot tea on it. Song Yinzhang cut his tongue, was slapped by Sun Sanniang, and was poured a cup of hot tea by Zhao Pan'er. Chi Yanei was ravaged three times in a row, and he couldn't help but jump.
He cried out in pain:
"Ouch, my tongue!"
After pausing for a moment, Chi Yanei took the Sujuan that Lu Wu sent up, wiped her face, looked at Zhao Pan'er with dark eyes and said:
"Zhao Pan'er, it's you again!"
Looking at the loud-tongued Chi Yanei, Zhao Paner chuckled and said:
"What's wrong with me?"
Looking at the smug Zhao Pan'er, Chi Yanei said angrily:
"Zhao Pan'er, let's put aside the old and new grudges together today!"
"Forget it!"
Zhao Paner glanced at the other guests who were gathered around to watch the excitement, then looked at Chi Yanei and said:
"Today, while there are many people, please help us provide circumstantial evidence. I have only dealt with you three times in total. The first time, you hit me in vain and the ball fell to the ground, and you blamed me. In the end, I was better than
You played even better, but you held a grudge. The second time, your men took other people's money and molested us in the street, but we punished them and left them there as guards to make up for the crime. The third time, if I guessed correctly
If so, you probably wanted to stand up for your subordinates who were being punished, but ended up venting your anger on my sister while I was away, right?"
After hearing what Zhao Pan'er said, Chi Yanei said harshly:
"I, Chipanchi Yanei, am the general leader of twelve guilds in Tokyo, including shipping silks, satins, medicinal materials, furs, rice, grains, and so on. I have not only 10,000 people but 200 people under me, and there are even more people who want to impersonate me.
There are countless things to count. I don’t know anything about what you said. There is only one thing I want to settle with you today. Your sister made my tongue look like this. She slapped me again and you scalded it with hot water.
Let me tell you, there has to be an explanation for this, right?"
Hearing what Chi Yanei said, Song Yinzhang couldn't help but poked his head out from behind Sun Sanniang and Zhao Pan'er and whispered:
"It was because you were scornful of me and wanted to steal my pipa, so I hit you with the pipa handle!"
"nonsense!"
After hearing Song Yinzhang say that he was scornful of her, Chi Yanei immediately retorted:
"I've never met you at all, how can I be so frivolous? You can ask everyone here, although I am usually romantic and melancholy."
Hearing Chi Yanei's words about romantic melancholy, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but sneered and said:
"Suave, huh?"
"That's what I like to say!"
After glaring at Zhao Paner, Chi Yanei continued:
"When have I ever been too strong on a woman? Isn't every flower girl I meet always polite?"
Hearing this, someone next to me responded:
"Well, how could Chi Yanei be that kind of person? He never uses fists to solve problems that can be solved with money!"
"Yes, Chi Yanei is not that kind of person!"
"Is that little lady also a brothel girl?"
"She's quite good-looking. Which court lady is she from?"
Seeing that the people around him were talking a lot, Song Yinzhang hugged Gu Yue Pipa tightly in his arms, his eyes instantly turned red and he said:
"I'm not a flower girl, not a young lady!"
"impossible!"
Hearing this, Chi Yanei immediately sneered and said:
"Goulan, a brothel, is my second home. I know your tune as soon as I hear it!"
"you"
Seeing that Song Yinzhang wanted to say something else, Zhao Paner shook her head imperceptibly. Then, she looked at Chi Yanei and changed the subject:
"How can a person who doesn't know a few words make a big statement?"
Hearing this, Chi Yanei became angry and said:
"Zhao Pan'er, don't talk nonsense with me. You have made my tongue look like this. We can't just let it go. I have plenty of money in my office, so I don't have to pay for it at all!"
"What do you want?"
"Go up to Changqing Tower to have a drink and let your sister play three songs for me. Let's forget about it. Otherwise, I will make you three women live in peace in Tokyo forever. Do you believe it or not?"
Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help laughing and said:
"It's easy to get along with Toujiu, but if you want to hear my sister play the pipa, it's not an easy task. My sister is the number one pipa master in Jiangnan. If ordinary people want to hear her play the pipa, they have to pass the three civil and military tests of our sisters.
, you are no exception!"
"Bragging, are you the best pipa player in the south of the Yangtze River just like her? I don't believe it!"
Seeing that Chi Yanei didn't believe it, Zhao Pan'er pulled Song Yinzhang and smiled proudly at everyone:
"Everyone has heard of my wife Song playing the pipa, right?"
"I've heard it, I've heard it!"
"Then does she deserve this title?"
“It’s worth it, it’s worth it!”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhao Paner turned to Chi Yanei and smiled:
"Yes, my sister is a musician, but since the Tang Dynasty, her family has been making pipa for the palace for generations. The Guyue Pipa in her hand is also a legacy of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty. She is not only a seat in the palace of Princess Qian, but
The distinguished guest is also the confidante of Xiao Fan, the son of Xiao's parents. I would like to ask if such a pipa master can be appreciated by ordinary people?"
After hearing what Zhao Pan'er said, Chi Yanei didn't believe it and said:
"Don't try to offend me. I'm not a common person, and I don't believe what you say. What evidence do you have to prove that what you say is true?"
"What if I could come up with evidence?"
"Hmph~~"
With a cold snort, Chiya didn't know what to do in his heart, but he insisted on saying:
"If you can produce evidence, I will promise you to pass the civil and military tests!"
"Okay then, it's a deal!"
After that, Zhao Pan'er took out a gold medal from his sleeve and waved it in front of Chi Yanei, with a proud smile on his face:
"This is the gold medal Mr. Xiao asked me to give to my sister. He said that if you have anything to do, you can go to the Xiao Mansion to ask him for help. This should prove that what I said is true, right?"
"you you you you"
Looking at the gold medal Zhao Pan'er held in his hand, a token made of pure gold with cloud patterns carved on it and a huge "Xiao" character in the middle, Chi Yanei was stunned and said:
"This is impossible. Only the Xiao family can use this kind of gold medal made of pure gold. Outsiders are all silver and iron medals. How could Xiao Fan give this gold medal to your sister? Does he want to marry your sister?"
"What?"
Hearing what Chi Yanei said, Zhao Pan'er was slightly stunned. She thought it was because the Xiao family was so wealthy that all the tokens used were made of gold, just like the Imperial City Lion Head token held by Gu Qianfan.
It was also made of gold. I didn't expect that the Xiao family's gold medal had such a special identity meaning. Although Yuan Xudong didn't say it clearly, Zhao Pan'er could understand his thoughts better. For a moment, she just felt sweet in her heart.
, it’s as sweet as eating osmanthus honey. I look forward to Yuan Xudong coming back soon and telling her our sincere feelings to each other!
At this moment, when she heard Zhao Pan'er say that Yuan Xudong asked her to give her a gold medal from the Xiao family, Song Yinzhang actually believed it. She handed Gu Yue Pipa to Yin Ping and hurriedly took the gold medal from Zhao Pan'er who was slightly stunned and couldn't put it down and said:
"Thank you sister, thank you Fan Lang, this gold medal is so beautiful!"
After hearing this, Zhao Pan'er came back to her senses and opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she just smiled and did not say anything. Sun Sanniang next to her knew that the gold medal was given to Zhao Pan'er by Yuan Xudong. She was about to remind Song Yinzhang when she saw Zhao Pan'er.
Shaking her head in a subtle way, Zhao Pan'er decided to make a mistake when she saw how much Song Yinzhang liked it. Since Yuan Xudong gave her the gold medal, there was nothing wrong with her giving it to her sister. Thinking of this, she looked at Song Yinzhang
smiled and said:
"Yinzhang, you must keep this gold medal carefully and don't lose it!"
"Um!"
Song Yinzhang nodded slightly, held the gold medal in his arms and said with a happy smile:
"I will keep it safe, thank you sister!"
Opposite them, Chi Yanei saw that Zhao Paner and others really knew Yuan Xudong and had a close relationship with him, so he couldn't help but admit that he was unlucky and said:
"Forget it, Xiao Fan and I are considered acquaintances. For his sake, I won't argue with you anymore. I'm leaving!"
Seeing that Chi Yanei took the initiative to put down her grudges, Zhao Paner was not a stingy woman. She looked towards Chi Yanei and raised her body slightly and said:
"Thank you Chi Yanei for being magnanimous and not arguing with us weak women!"
Hearing this, Chi Yameni cupped his hands gracefully and said:
"Ms. Zhao, you're welcome. You can use He Si and the others as you wish. I'll go back first. See you another day!"
"Go slowly inside the office!"
Seeing Chi Yanei leaving with a group of subordinates, Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang, and Yin Ping girl looked at each other and smiled, with increasingly obvious confidence on their faces. Since coming to Tokyo, whether it is Jinke Jinshi Du Changfeng,
Ouyang Xu, the prostitute Ouyang Xu, is also the head of twelve guilds in Tokyo. They can always deal with it easily and do everything with ease!
Chi Yanei left Sanyuan Inn with a smile on his face. As he walked on the road, Lu Wu couldn't help but flatter him:
"The demeanor in our office is really chic!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yanei, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Lu Wu's face bumped into his back. Chi Yanei's eyes fell on the plaque of Yihong Courtyard next to him. He strode towards Yihong.
He walked towards the courtyard, followed by a group of subordinates, and saw Chi Yanei shouting loudly:
"Madam, will Miss Qian Luobei accept guests tonight?"
