In Xuanwei City at night, the colorful lanterns are lit up, and the most lively moment of the day is ushered in the singing house by the Chunshui River. The sound of pipa, piano, flute and singing complement each other, and the man in Qingyi raises his glass and walks in the Qingge Building.
, quickly attracted the attention of many people. At this moment, he no longer concealed his identity, so soon the entire restaurant on the Chunshui River knew that the young master of the Xie family, Qing Yilang, had come to Xuanwei City.
The Tsing Yi Lang, that was a dream in a girl's boudoir in the south of the Yangtze River. The singers from the nearby restaurants sneaked into the Qingge Pavilion to have a look at his elegance. But soon everyone discovered that the protagonist tonight did not seem to be the Tsing Yi Lang.
It was the woman next to Qingyi Lang.
The singing house by the Chunshui River is not a brothel. Most of the women are just performing arts and not selling themselves. But even so, there are very few female guests coming here to listen to music, so the appearance of a female guest here is very special. Especially this woman.
She was very beautiful, even more beautiful than any other woman in the Qingge Tower. Therefore, the men who were looking for fun by the Chunshui River also came to have a look at her beauty.
Just like that, in the elegant seats of Qingge Tower, Qing Yilang and Nangong Xi'er drank wine in front of everyone's eyes.
"Coming here to drink is not a good choice." Nangong Xi'er felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze of so many people.
The man in green clothes was not used to it. He waved his sleeves, raised his wine glass and pointed it at the girls downstairs: "No, it is a very good choice. At least the news that we are here will spread quickly.
Go out. Then since we can't find Su Baiyi, Su Baiyi may also know that we are here."
"So that's the way it is. It's a solution." Nangong Xi'er was convinced by this reason and lowered her head to drink a glass of wine.
"I won't call you girl from now on. I'll just call you cousin. I should have called you cousin in the first place." Qingyi Lang said with a smile, "Otherwise, the girls in the building would think that I brought a flower by my side, so they wouldn't dare.
Picking flowers. What do you think, cousin?"
Nangong Xi'er put down her wine glass: "Cousin."
"Hahahahahaha." The man in Qingyi waved his sleeves and said loudly, "Today my cousin came to Xuanwei City for the first time. She was very happy to see the scenery of Xuanwei City. All the expenses in Qingge Tower today will be borne by my Xie family.
Please."
The whole house cheered.
The eyes of those women were brighter. They originally thought that the woman next to Qingyi Lang was his love, and they felt that it was difficult to compare, but since they were cousins, they still had a chance. And the eyes of those men looked at Nangong Xi'er
Then I started to wonder a little more. It turned out that this woman was Qingyi Lang's cousin. Which elder of the Xie family was she the daughter of?
"Is your Xie family very rich?" In the corner, a burly man carrying a knife asked.
"Of the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River, our Xie family is undoubtedly the poorest." Beside him, a young master holding a folding fan shook his head and sighed, "But my brother is definitely second only to the Wang family and Wang Buyi in terms of spending money."
These two people were naturally Feng Zuojun and Xie Yuling. After finally meeting Nangong Xier, they were not in a hurry to recognize their senior sister. After all, this trip to the Heroes Conference was extremely dangerous, so if they acted separately, they would have a better chance of winning.
.So now I just look at Nangong Xi'er from a distance.
"Xiao Er, bring me a pot of the most famous Hua Luo Man here." Feng Zuojun waved his hand.
"A pot full of flowers is worth ten taels of silver." Xie Yuling frowned and said, "Have you brought so much silver?"
"Isn't it your eldest brother's treat? Another plate of crystal elbows and a plate of spicy beef." Feng Zuojun said with a grin, "If you don't eat, you won't get it."
Xie Yuling shook his head and said: "If the Xie family continues like this, how can it compete with the other three families? Hey, wait a minute!"
The waiter who was putting down the wine bottle turned around and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"
"Can I order some food to take away?" Xie Yuling asked sincerely.
In the inn opposite Qingge Tower, a window quietly opened.
Su Jian poked his head out and looked at the scene in the Qingge Pavilion opposite. He saw the elderly musician wearing a veil still walking slowly in the hall holding the pipa. He couldn't help but frown and whispered.
Said: "Why doesn't she leave?"
"Where do you want her to go?" Su Baiyi sat next to him and asked in a low voice. They didn't live here originally, but Su Jian chose this inn after taking him back from the city.
It was said that the original inn was no longer safe, but Su Baiyi knew that he came here just because he could see what was happening in Qingge Tower.
"She is already very old, does she have to play the pipa here all her life?" Su Jian asked.
Su Baiyi said helplessly: "Yes, she is already very old and has been playing pipa here all her life. The reason why she can stay here is because she is looking forward to waiting for you to come one day. But then you came
But he didn’t say he would take her away.”
"Take her away?" Su Jian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head silently.
In the Qingge Tower, the elderly musician walked out of a warm pavilion with his pipa in his arms. The door was opened, and an old man with sandalwood beads in his arms looked at the elderly musician and sighed softly: "You have been waiting for so long, why don't you wait?
I think you really waited for him. It's a pity that he, like me, has become an old man."
"There is no one who is immortal in the world." The female musician hugged the pipa and bowed, "I should have thought of it a long time ago."
"But he didn't take you away." The old man said meaningfully.
The female musician gently played her pipa: "This is something I should have thought of a long time ago."
"I have been waiting for your story for a long time, but the ending now still lacks some meaning, especially in the unfinished period. Three days later, the Heroes Conference will be held. Just now, the Wang family came to the meeting and decided to hold it at the Qingge Pavilion.
"The old man's hand playing with the sandalwood beads stopped and said, "In Xuanwei City, all the restaurants, large and small, want to take over this order. Although our Qingge Restaurant is famous, after all, we are on the banks of the Chunshui River. It would be difficult for us to do so.
We were selected. But Wang Ruoxu chose us in the end, so he has a good sense."
"Heroes Conference?" The female musician trembled slightly.
"Since it is the Heroes Conference, his appearance is indispensable." The old man stood up with a smile and patted the female musician on the shoulder, "The debut of the Flower Drunk Conference, the curtain call of the Heroes Conference, let us tell the story of Mr. Yudi of Xuanweicheng
, let’s have a real ending.”
In the inn, Su Baiyi also came to the window curiously: "The Qingge Tower seems to be particularly lively tonight. Senior, I want to take a look."
"Didn't you say you wanted to tell me the story of the Book of Immortals?" Su Jian asked.
"Don't be in a hurry for this night." Su Baiyi jumped down, "Don't worry, I have changed my appearance. What's more, with so many people, we won't be discovered."
"You kid." Su Jian also followed.
The two walked into Qingge Tower and found that although there were many people gathered downstairs, some standing and some sitting, they all raised their heads and looked towards the same place. Su Baiyi followed their gazes and then
I saw Nangong Xi'er.
"Senior Sister!" Su Baiyi was overjoyed. The last time he was restrained by Su Jian, he had already passed Nangong Xi'er once in a daze. Now he finally saw her in person. He was so happy that he blurted out "Senior Sister". It's just that
There was so much noise in the building that his call was immediately drowned out. But just when he was about to jump up, Su Jian swung his palm over and knocked him unconscious.
"You brat, do you want to run away again?"
In the elegant seat, Nangong Xi'er's hand holding the cup shook slightly, and she suddenly turned her head and looked downstairs.
"Hey, hey, look, that young lady from the Xie family is looking at me!"
"What are you looking at? You are clearly looking at me!"
People downstairs started making noises.
"What's wrong?" The man in Qingyi saw Nangong Xi'er's expression and asked curiously.
"I heard someone call me." Nangong Xi'er's eyes quickly scanned the crowd below, "Call me Senior Sister."
