When Ye Qi came to this world, the gatekeeper told him, "The role you are going to play is Miss Ye, the top star of Tianxiang Tower in Jiangzhou, a singer who is not a prostitute. She is good at guzheng, pipa, flute and other musical instruments, and has a beautiful singing voice."
, there are countless wealthy young men spending huge sums of money on your behalf, please play your role and wait for the case to happen."
Ye Qi looked at his women's gauze skirt and almost dropped the pipa in his arms.
Is the Ace of Hearts sick?! Although he is a student at the Conservatory of Music and likes to sing, in ancient times there were also men who could sing. Why should he be asked to dress up as a woman and go to a brothel to act like a singer who does not sell his body?!
If he hadn't failed to pass the level and would be eliminated, Ye Qi would have just given up on the mission...
During the two days he was in Jiangzhou, he had been under the control of "Aunt Qing", the owner of Tianxiang Tower, and could not leave Tianxiang Tower. Aunt Qing told him that there was a performance tonight and he needed to appear in person to play some songs and sing some songs.
, to thank the benefactor.
Ye Qi could only grit his teeth and stay in his room practicing the music.
Fortunately, he already had a musical foundation, and with the physical memory forcibly instilled by the gatekeeper when he entered the secret room, after two days of practice, he had become proficient in folk music such as pipa, guzheng, and flute, and the songs he wanted to sing were also ready.
He hadn't seen any of his teammates in the past two days, and he thought the case would happen in a brothel.
I was about to perform tonight, but I saw Captain Yu, Lao Mo, and Mr. Shao sitting under the stage. Next to Captain Yu, there was a person dressed in women's clothing. The light was too dark to see clearly. Ye Qi looked towards the stage, and it happened to be
Meeting Shao Qingge's eyes, Mr. Shao spit out the tea without any shame. Ye Qi blushed with embarrassment and wished he could smash the pipa on the spot and quit!
At this moment, Aunt Qing leaned into his ear and said, "Xiaoye, you can start."
Ye Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and play the pipa.
The crisp and melodious pipa music sounded, like pearls falling on a jade plate, and the entire Tianxiang Tower fell silent instantly. Needless to say, Ye Qi was really talented. He played a long and melodious tune, which quickly captured the emotions of the guests.
The initial melody was very soft, and everyone was intoxicated by it. Suddenly, the tune took a turn for the worse, like thousands of troops crossing the border, with smoke and war everywhere. The passionate melody made people's spirits tense. Ye Qi looked calm, and his slender fingers
He plucked the strings so fast that he almost broke the strings of the pipa.
The second half of the song was very tense. Until the end, the clanging sound suddenly stopped, and the melody was soul-stirring, as if the audience had experienced a thrilling battle.
Tianxiang Tower was quiet for a moment, followed by deafening applause: "Okay!" "As expected of the number one, this pipa player is really amazing!" "I heard that Miss Ye also sings beautifully..."
Aunt Qing arranged for people to carry plates and walk among the guests. Many young masters from rich families took out large pieces of silver and threw them in. The plates could hardly hold it. It can be seen that Ye Qi's performance will definitely make Tianxianglou
The boss is making a lot of money.
The pipa, guzheng and a few more songs were played, and Tianxiang Tower continued to applaud.
After the performance, Ye Qi stood up and saluted to the audience.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Well played! You are worthy of being the top star of Tianxiang Tower. It is true that seeing it is better than hearing it a hundred times." Walking out was a rich young man, wearing a dark red gown, with long hair.
He was tied with a ribbon of the same color, and he looked quite handsome. Unfortunately, he smelled of alcohol, and Ye Qi could smell the alcohol on him from afar.
Someone nearby whispered: "Isn't this Mr. Lin?" "The Lin Shaobo who is engaged to the eldest lady of the royal family?" "Yes, I heard that he often visited brothels and had ambiguous relationships with famous prostitutes. I didn't expect that today
He has changed his taste and actually came to Tianxiang Tower to listen to music..." "He is so courageous. He is getting married next month and he drinks flower wine every day..."
Yu Hanjiang listened to the discussion around him and looked at Xiao Lou: "He is the fiancé of the eldest lady of the royal family."
Xiao Lou stared thoughtfully in the direction of Master Lin: "It seems that he is indeed as romantic as the rumors."
Lao Mo lowered his voice: "People say that Master Lin's engagement to the eldest lady of the royal family was ordered by his parents. He doesn't like the old-fashioned eldest lady at all. He hangs around the flowers all day to express his dissatisfaction with the marriage. There are still people who gossip.
Said he had several lovers outside."
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "No matter how much he dislikes her, after all, his fiancée is the prince's daughter. If he doesn't give face to the eldest lady, he won't even give face to the prince? It's unreasonable to live like this."
Lao Mo said: "Although he is the eldest son in the Lin family, he is also a concubine. His mother is a concubine and has passed away long ago. The marriage was arranged by his father. Before the engagement, he had never met the eldest lady of the palace. Maybe
Are you feeling unhappy and are you venting in this way?"
Shao Qingge said with great interest: "About the Lin family, I also heard some gossip in Qingcheng. Our Shao family has business cooperation with the Lin family. The Lin family is the richest salt merchant in the Daqi Dynasty. This young master Lin
Shao Bo does not have any real power in his hands, and is said to be just a showman. The second young master and the third young master are both better than him. The second young master serves in the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Kyoto, and the third young master is the heir to the Lin family's property."
Xiao Loudao: "So, he and the eldest lady of the royal family are actually a good match? Both of them are the eldest, but neither is born to the real wife, and they have no status in the family."
Mo Xuemin said: "The problem is that this young master Lin did not curb his debauchery after getting engaged, and the palace doesn't seem to care much about him."
Xiao Lou also had some doubts in his heart. Logically speaking, even if the prince's daughter was a concubine born from a concubine, she would still be a noble relative of the royal family. A bunch of wealthy businessmen and ministers would rush to come to propose marriage. The prince should not be short of money. How could this happen?
Falling in love with such a son-in-law? As a future father-in-law, does he, as the future father-in-law, not care about his debauchery and ruining his reputation?
Either the prince doesn't care about his eldest daughter, or the Lin family has reached an agreement with the prince.
Xiao Lou was frowning and thinking. At this moment, he suddenly heard a noise from the crowd.
It turned out that Lin Shaobo took out a piece of silver directly from his purse and stuffed it into Ye Qi's hand with a smile: "Miss Ye is beautiful and talented. It is a pity to stay in Tianxiang Tower. Why don't I do it tonight?"
How about redeeming your body, you follow me, and you will be my concubine from now on, and I will never treat you badly?"
Ye Qi: “…………”
Do you believe that I will kill you with a pipa?
Ye Qi resisted the urge to swear, and quickly took a step back, saying, "Young master, you are joking, but ordinary girls do not sell their bodies when it comes to art."
Lin Shaobo took out two more ingots of silver from his wallet and handed them to the boss, and said with a smile: "Aunt Qing, I rarely come to your Tianxiang House. I didn't know that your girl is so special. I want to help Miss Ye redeem herself.
I wonder if Aunt Qing will give me this face?"
The boss took the money and said: "Our rule in Tianxiang Tower is that you are a performer but not a person. You can be our Miss Ye's guest and let her play a few pieces of music for you alone."
"Okay, then please." Lin Shaobo was about to take a step forward to pull Ye Qi's hand, but at this moment, a fan suddenly blocked his way. Lin Shaobo raised his head in confusion and faced a pair of beautiful
peach blossom eyes.
The man was tall, with extraordinary handsome features, and a slight smile on his face. But when he looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a frightening sharpness in his eyes.
Lin Shaobo was startled: "Who is this young master?"
Shao Qingge smiled and said: "Miss Ye is my friend. I'd better leave the chance to be alone with her tonight."
After saying that, he took out an ingot of gold directly from his wallet.
One ingot of gold is equivalent to ten ingots of silver. It's clear who is richer.
The boss's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled at Shao Qingge and said, "What do you call this young master?"
Shao Qingge whispered: "My surname is Shao. I have something to tell Miss Ye. Please arrange it with Aunt Qing."
Aunt Qing took Shao Qingge and Ye Qi upstairs, and there was a burst of gossip around them. Unexpectedly, when she came to Tianxiang Tower to watch the excitement tonight, she would actually see the bloody scene between two rich young masters competing for the top spot - and Young Master Lin also competed for the top spot.
Lose, what a good show!
Lin Shaobo didn't look very good when he was being watched, so he simply pretended to be drunk and ran away.
Ye Qi followed Shao Qingge to the private room on the second floor with a complicated look on his face. The boss left behind a message of "treat Mr. Shao well" and left.
Ye Qi closed the door, let out a long sigh of relief, sat down on the stool, threw the Pipa to the side, picked up a cup of tea and drank it - his throat was a little dry and he needed to moisten it before talking.
Shao Qingge smiled and joked: "Miss Ye, won't you pour me a cup of tea?"
Ye Qi almost spit out the tea: "Are you still in the mood to joke? I have to play the role of a singer. I stayed in this shabby place like Tianxiang Building for two days and couldn't get out at all. I was going crazy with anxiety!"
At this moment, Aunt Qing suddenly passed by the door. Ye Qi stood up as if he was electrocuted, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Shao Qingge with a smile on his face. His voice was so gentle that it made your bones go numb: "Master Shao, please drink.
Tea, please forgive me if I don’t take good care of you, the daughter of the people."
Shao Qingge couldn't laugh or cry - this little guy is also an actor!
After the boss left, Ye Qi put away his smile, sat down helplessly, and said softly: "I just saw Captain Yu and Lao Mo were also in the audience. What's going on?"
Shao Qingge said: "There is also Professor Xiao, didn't you see it?"
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "No, there are only three of you guys."
Shao Qingge held back his laughter and said, "The beautiful woman sitting next to Mr. Yu is dressed up by Professor Xiao. Like you, he is also dressed as a woman in the setting of this world."
Ye Qi finally couldn't hold back this time and spit out a mouthful of tea, almost all over Shao Qingge's face.
Fortunately, Shao Qingge was smart and could hide quickly.
Ye Qi coughed a few times and said in disbelief: "Professor Xiao also wants to dress up as a woman?" He simply couldn't imagine it.
Shao Qingge said: "Moreover, she is pretending to be Yu Hanjiang's wife."
Ye Qi: "………………"
This is even more unimaginable, okay?
Shao Qingge looked at him with a smile: "Do you feel better?"
Ye Qi thought about it carefully and said angrily: "Then it's worse for me, right? He pretended to be Captain Yu's wife, at least Captain Yu would protect him, but I was thrown directly into the brothel! I was so confused, I really wanted to throw away my hand.
Dry!"
Shao Qingge couldn't help laughing when he saw his angry expression, almost cutting the gatekeeper a hundred times.
Ye Qi's expression was so vivid. She was obviously dressed as a lady, wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt, with a pretty and cute face, but when she looked like she was about to beat someone up in anger, she looked like a vicious cat baring its teeth and claws.
Shao Qingge suppressed his laughter and comforted in a low voice: "Okay, it's just a role play. You just have to suffer for a few days. What Captain Yu means is that since you are placed in Tianxiang Tower, the case may be related to Tianxiang Tower, so you can rest assured.
Look for clues and we will protect you secretly."
Ye Qi calmed down after hearing this: "Yes, I understand."
Shao Qingge said: "I am the eldest son of a wealthy businessman in Qingcheng. I come to the brothel to drink wine. Meeting you will not arouse suspicion. This is why they asked me to come to you alone. I will give the boss enough money.
I'll pay you for it, and I'll come to you every night from now on, so you don't have to deal with other guests."
Ye Qi's face suddenly turned red: "This... why does it sound strange?"
Shao Qingge said seriously: "It's not strange, that's the setting. The rules of your Tianxiang House are that the top girl who gives you the most money can chat alone with her. If I don't agree with you, you can't face those strangers.
The man plays the piano and sings, right?"
Ye Qi's whole body was covered with chills, and he immediately said: "Well, I might as well chat with you!" He took a sip of tea to calm down, and then asked curiously: "What are the identities of the other people?"
Shao Qingge said: "Yu Hanjiang is the new magistrate of Jiangzhou, Xiao Lou is his wife, Lao Mo is the master, and Long Sen is the nursing home of the palace. We haven't found Teacher Qu and Liu Qiao yet. Captain Yu asked me to ask you, Qu
The teacher is good at dancing, is he also in Tianxiang Building?"
Ye Qi immediately shook his head: "She's not here. When I first found out that I became a singer, I also thought about whether Teacher Qu could be a dancer. I went to the dance practice place several times to look for her, but I didn't see her. Besides, I asked the boss
To put it bluntly, there is no girl named Qu in the entire Tianxiang Tower."
Shao Qingge frowned and said: "It seems that we have to continue looking for her. Yu Hanjiang is the prefect, and it is not suitable to meet you directly. I will be responsible for passing the news in the future. We speculate that the case should happen in the palace."
Ye Qi was startled and suddenly said: "Prince's Mansion? On the 15th, the prince's birthday is celebrated. We rehearsed a show and performed it at the Prince's Mansion."
Shao Qingge smiled: "That's right. All of us go to the palace for different reasons. The fifteenth day should be a critical date. You should be prepared in advance."
Ye Qi nodded seriously: "Understood."
Shao Qingge continued: "In addition, please pay attention to safety here alone. Can the teleportation card be used?"
Ye Qi said: "Okay, all the instrument control cards are banned, and the eavesdropping cards can't be used. The only teleportation cards in my card bag can be used now. I pretend to know Qinggong, and it's no problem to escape after an accident."
Shao Qingge was relieved. He thought for a while and said: "In this way, the [Rich and Willful] card I drew can be copied. All attack and control cards in this world are banned. Yours
The teleportation card will be very convenient if it is used as a light function. I will make a copy and give it to Captain Yu when the time comes and he will arrange it."
Ye Qirou said in pain: "Copying a card will cost you 5 million gold coins..."
Shao Qingge rubbed his forehead helplessly: "I can't help it, the card I drew is such a waste."
Ye Qi was depressed: "You just gave your boss a piece of gold in order to meet me, right?"
Shao Qingge smiled and said: "Don't be afraid. When I came to Jiangzhou this time, I carried several boxes of gold, which is enough to spend."
