Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 197 Diners
"why?"

Xu Mu also replied with his divine sense.

"Because you're okay!" Han Rui said.

"what relationship?"

Xu Mu frowned slightly.

"Of course it's because of going to the Music Master's Mansion, but the quota has already been predetermined!" Han Rui sighed.

This is exactly what Xu Mu guessed.

"Since that's the case, why is Brother Han still here?" Xu Mu asked with flickering eyes.

"I don't have anything to do with spirit stones, and I don't give up, so I came here to try my luck! I just didn't expect them to reject even a great talent like Brother Xu. It seems that the Music Master's House is really hopeless!" Han Rui smiled wryly. road.

Xu Mu didn't feel anything.

It is inevitable for an organization to decay after a long time, but I didn't expect it to decay to this extent.

He originally thought that with your own talent, you could get in no matter what, but he didn't expect the other party to turn a blind eye.

It's a pity that his avatar didn't bring much resources, even if he wanted to bribe him, he couldn't afford to bribe him.

"Fellow Daoist Han came here, didn't you just tell me this?"

"Of course not. I hope Fellow Daoist can give me the song just now. Although I can't let you enter the Musician's Mansion, there is a better place!" Han Rui smiled mysteriously.

"A better place? Where?"

"Prince's Mansion!"

There are emperors and princes, but the princes of the Sea Clan Empire are different from ordinary princes.

In order to ensure the purity of the blood, the royal family implemented an internal intermarriage system, and would not branch off to weaken its own strength.

However, there are always exceptions.

Occasionally, clansmen would fool around outside and give birth to mixed-race children.

The royal family did not kill these people, but divided them separately as a supplement to their own strength.

If there are outstanding talents in it, and they make contributions, they will have the opportunity to be bestowed with the title of prince.

Not all of them are ascetic monks. Some people are born to enjoy pleasure, while others are old. They all set up their own music houses and recruit musicians to play for them.

The Yuefu of these big figures may be better than court musicians in terms of treatment alone. The only downside is that they still serve in the military.

For the musicians, no matter how good the treatment is, it is better not to serve in the military, and it doesn't matter to Xu Mu.

The point is, if he joins the Yuefu of these great figures, he will not have access to the royal family, no matter how good the treatment is, it will be useless.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han, for your kindness. Allow me to think about it for a few days!"

Xu Mu politely declined, but he didn't say anything to death.

"Well!"

Han Rui didn't expect him to agree without hesitation, leaving his address, so that he could go directly to find him after thinking it over.

When the time comes, he can act as an intermediary to dedicate the song to the other party and help Xu Mu find a chance to join. Of course, he himself will also benefit.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you have to pay attention these few days. The people from the Music Master's Mansion are likely to seek you in private. Don't be fooled by their rhetoric. They are all blood-sucking leeches."

After finishing speaking, Han Rui separated from Xu Mu.

As soon as Han Rui left, a few more people came back, as if they had been waiting for a long time, their purpose was similar to Han Rui's, they wanted to introduce him to the song, Xu Mu declined all of them politely, and only wrote down the address of the other party.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Xu Mu said to himself.

After waiting at the door for a while, I saw Tang Lin who was a little downcast.

"Brother Tang, how are you doing?"

"Forget it!"

Tang Lin waved his hand with a bad look on his face.

"I think the dishes I cook are pretty good, why can't I choose them?"

Up to now, he is still a little puzzled.

Seeing Tang Lin's appearance, Xu Mu realized that he must have encountered a situation similar to his own.

He didn't say anything.

"It doesn't work this time, so try harder next time." Xu Mu comforted.

"There is a next time! Next year I will go to military service, unless I break through the middle stage of foundation establishment before then!" Tang Lin said with a wry smile.

According to the laws of the Sea Clan Empire, if one cannot break through the middle stage of foundation establishment before the age of one hundred, one must serve in the military. Not only the foundation stage, but also all realms have similar regulations.

It's like a screening mechanism.

Those with good talents can cultivate with peace of mind, but those with poor talents will go to the battlefield.

Affected by their bloodlines, the Sea Clan often made rapid progress in the early stage, but when they reached the limit of their bloodlines, they would falter, and every step seemed like they were ascending to the sky.

The ratio of foundation establishment and golden core of the sea clan can reach a terrifying one thousand to one, and most of them are from the royal family and royal family.

"Isn't it time yet? Maybe there is a turning point!" Xu Mu comforted.

"I hope so!"

Tang Lin could only comfort himself in this way.

However, his mind has already started to turn to combat spells and magic weapons. If he doesn't make preparations, it will be too late.

It is too dangerous to serve in the military unprepared.

……

Not long after Xu Mu returned to his residence, someone knocked on the door.

When he opened the door, he was a strange sea tribe that he had never seen before. His skin was sallow, his forehead was covered with black spots, and he was wearing a white robe with the logo of the Musician's Mansion printed on it.

"Are you Xu Mu?"

The Black-spotted Sea Clan said proudly.

Xu Mu frowned slightly, and said, "It's my servant, I don't know what you want from me?"

"Master Qingyan thinks that you still have some talent, and wants to recruit you as a diner, so sign the contract!"

After speaking, he took out a piece of paper made of special kelp and handed it to Xu Mu.

"Who is Lord Qingyan? I don't know him!"

Xu Mu didn't take the paper and asked.

"It's the musician who is in charge of the assessment today. Qingyan is the purple-robed musician in the Musician's Mansion. It's a blessing for you to be favored by him, so don't rush to sign!"

The Black-spotted Sea Clan said impatiently.

"Oh!"

Xu Mu suddenly remembered what Han Rui had said to him.

He took a look at the contract, and found that the blood-sucking worms were too light-hearted. They wanted to eat his flesh, and the black-hearted capitalists would cry when they saw it.

Not only does he not have any benefits, but sometimes he has to pay for it himself. The only thing he can get is a big cake drawn by the other party. If he has a chance, he will be recommended to enter the Music Master's Mansion.

This pie is quite attractive to ordinary musicians, but unfortunately it is of no use to Xu Mu. He, who has been severely beaten in his previous life, can tell at a glance that this is a empty promise.

boring trick!
"Sorry! I'm not interested in being a diner."

Xu Mu returned the kelp paper that recorded the contract to the other party.

"What did you say?!!"

The Black-spotted Sea Clan thought they heard it wrong, but someone was able to refuse this kindness.

You must know that this contract is much higher than what Qingyan offered before, and he believes that no one can refuse, especially a young Sea Clan like Xu Mu.

Because serving in the military will kill people, if there is a chance to avoid it, everyone will hold on tightly.

"I said you can go back!"

Xu Mu was really not in the mood to deal with these self-righteous musicians, so he simply issued an order to expel the guests.

"Are you really sure? There is only one chance. If you refuse, there will be no next time! Not everyone can have the opportunity to be recognized by adults!"

Xu Mu went straight back to the room and closed the door, and didn't say a word when he got up.

This move can drive the black-spotted sea clan to death.

"The guy who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth! Hmph!"

The Black Spotted Sea Clan turned and left with a cold face.

To offend Qingyan is to offend the Yueshifu, a commoner musician who has no heels, offend the Yueshifu and still want to hang out in the imperial capital, go ahead and dream.

There are circles everywhere, and in the imperial capital, the Music Master's Mansion is the highest existence in the circle of musicians. If you offend them, don't even think about hanging around here.

Xu Mu, who returned to the room, had already begun to consider a new way out.

His goal is to find the imperial mausoleum and get the materials, and he doesn't have to be a musician. If this way doesn't work, he needs to find another way.

But after staying here for so many years, if there is a particularly good way, I won't wait until now.

At this moment, he thought of Han Rui again.

"It's not that we can't think about saving the country with curves. If it doesn't work, we can change to other methods, and it will waste a few years at most."

His idea is to join the palace first, accumulate fame, and then switch to the musician's mansion after gaining fame. It is best to become a purple-robed or silver-robed musician directly.

Only when his status is high enough can he get in touch with more members of the royal family and get the news he wants.

Just do what he said, he left the residence and rushed towards the address given by Han Rui.
