late night song

Chapter 114
After Gu Yuchu came out of the tavern, he returned to the inn to meet Yan Feng and Yu Bai.The next day, before dawn, the three of them set off back to Wynn.

Juan Niang sat uneasily in the flower house, fearing that something might go wrong in Qiongzhou or that her incomprehensible master might play some new tricks.

Finally, when she saw the three of them returning intact, although she was overflowing with excitement, she still suppressed it.

"Is everything in order? Nothing happened, right?" Juan Niang asked pretending to be calm.

"The king of the country almost fell in love with Liuguang!" Yanfeng exaggerated and teased Gu Yuchu.

Gu Yuchu rolled his eyes at her, thinking of his entanglement with Ling Ziyu in Qiongzhou, he lowered his head and curled his lips.

"The king praised the girl you trained very well, and wants to invite you to be the aunt in the palace." After the important matter was done, Yu Bai also became happy.

"Are you all so frustrated? Are you going crazy? If you don't hurry up and start packing up tomorrow to grab business, you don't know that the threshold of the broken mountain house next door is about to be leveled!" Juan Niang ignored them lazily and went straight to the point. His master has to take care of things. For now, business is her biggest task.

"It's only been a few days, so it's not like that." Yanfeng didn't care and took a sip of tea hastily.

"The girls in the streets are all crazy, and they want to take out the money they have saved from the bottom of the box to gamble. It's no wonder that the young men in charge are all more handsome than Pan An, and they have offended these young people who have never seen the world. She is obsessed with all kinds of things, not to mention those good men from Longyang." The unkindness of the people living in the broken mountain really made her very distressed. Her business was gone, and all the news was intercepted. Some channels.

"We all saw it on the opening day, and we didn't think there was anything special about it. But to be honest, the pretty girls do have their own merits and are very capable. On weekdays, the customers are either warriors who don't understand the style, or they are just stinky. I am a businessman, but now I meet a few gentle and graceful ones, and I see them every day, so it's no wonder that the girls can't control themselves." His tone was rare and calm, and his analysis was clear-cut.

"Why don't you just move into Poshan Residence tomorrow?" Juan Niang glared at her angrily.

"Lao Bai, she wants to drive me away." Yan Feng pouted enough, then turned to coquettishly toward Yu Bai.

"Yes, yes, if you can't make money, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind. Let's think of countermeasures." Yu Bai also realized that Juan Niang's anxiety was not groundless, but not being able to make money is indeed the second best. If it is really broken Shanju had broken through their information distribution and spy network, which would be a huge loss, and he couldn't explain it to Ling Ziyu at all.

"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Tomorrow Liu Guang and Lao Bai will go to Poshan Residence to explore, and then come back and think of countermeasures." Juan Niang suggested that she handed over such an important matter to Gu Yuchu, firstly because she really trusted her, and secondly She also knows the agreement she made with the young master. No matter how long she can stay here, it will be quite helpful to her.

"Okay." Gu Yuchu and Yu Bai responded in unison.

"Why don't you take me with you?" Hearing this arrangement, Yanfeng became a little anxious and felt very unbalanced.

"The young master next door is very clever. He is afraid that if you are abducted again and again, won't the Suo Xing Palace collapse?" Gu Yuchu quickly flattered her in an attempt to stabilize her.

"Although what she said makes sense." Everyone rolled their eyes, but Yan Feng believed it, and she continued, "But Lao Bai is even more dangerous. Don't look at her pure-hearted and calm-hearted appearance. In fact, her heart has been rippling for a long time. There’s no limit.”

"Go away!" Yu Bai cursed angrily, then looked at Gu Yuchu and said, "Liu Guang, go back and rest. We have business to do tomorrow."

After that, he took Gu Yuchu back to his private room.

"I think what you said makes sense." Juan Niang muttered, looking at their backs.

Yanfeng nodded, it was rare for the two of them to have such the same opinion.

After a good night's rest, it was almost noon before they got up to freshen up, tidy up, and prepare to meet this powerful opponent.

Gu Yuchu also deliberately took out the hairpin and inserted it into her casually rolled hair. It seemed that having a decent piece of jewelry made her look less gullible than ordinary girls. She looked at herself in the mirror, although she understood This is deceiving myself, but it still makes sense.

"I'll go with you, too." Yan Feng saw them preparing to set off and quickly followed them from the fifth floor to the first floor.

"Don't, don't, don't. If I get carried away by beauty, I'm still waiting for Master Yan to raise his sword to help me cut off my feelings and return to the right path!" Gu Yuchu, in order to appease her, was afraid that her excitement would ruin the good thing, and praised her. With.

"I can help you take care of those troubles right away." Yan Feng persisted, his hand showing a sharp knife to cut through the mess.

"The two pillars of Suo Xing Palace are gone at once. You seem too nervous, especially you. If Po Shanju can't sit still when he sees Boss Yan, wouldn't his tail be raised to the sky?" Yu Bai continued to pat him. Her sycophancy.

"Yes, yes, yes, Boss Yan, you are very important. You must be in charge of Locking Star Palace, otherwise we will not know what to do." Gu Yuchu continued what Yu Bai said matter-of-factly.

"Well, you're right. We can't let them think that we are afraid of them. Then you go and come back quickly." Yan Feng was praised so much that he was willing to let them go.

Gu Yuchu and Yu Bai looked at each other and smiled. Yanfeng's temperament was too impulsive and ostentatious, and it was not convenient for him to take her with him, so he had to coax her to stay at home.

As soon as they entered Poshan Residence, the bustling scene in the building really shocked them.It seemed that girls all over the street had gathered together to play dice and pot betting, having a great time; there were even merchants coming from far and near, excitedly holding out the heavy wallets they had worked so hard for.

In the past, Chenglu Street was extremely deserted at this hour, and every flower shop had to wait until the sun went down before opening its doors for business. However, this shabby mountain residence opened its doors at noon. With such a good place, the bored girls naturally stopped snoozing. Instead, go up to the pole and take out the accumulated soft goods and money to make a bet.

If you win, it's the icing on the cake; if you lose, it's even more joyful to have a handsome young master by your side.

Gu Yuchu and Yanfeng hung around for a while, and then a special young master came to greet them.

"Two beauties are here, what do you want to play? We have dice, pai gow, and pot throwing; there is also a private room upstairs where you can drink wine, tea, and listen to music." A woman wearing a lake blue robe, with a delicate appearance like a woman The young master came forward with a smile.

"I want to make a fortune, but can you take me around first?" Yu Bai spoke first, and then winked at Gu Yuchu.

"I don't understand this. Let's have a drink and listen to music in the private room upstairs." Gu Yuchu separated from her.

"Everyone is happy with the beauty. I will take this one first." The welcoming young master pointed at Yu Bai, and then called another young man in Tsing Yi to accompany Gu Yuchu, "This beauty asks my senior brother to take you upstairs, okay? "

"Very good." Gu Yuchu lamented that the competition among merchants was so fierce, and all kinds of services were so good.

She was led to the private room on the third floor. All the furnishings in this room were in line with her clothes and taste. They were simple and elegant yet interesting. It seemed that she was very particular about what kind of guests she brought to what kind of room.

"What would you like me to call you?" The young man in Qingyi smiled lightly, very politely.

Gu Yuchu thought for a while: "You can call me sister."

"Sister, you are so interesting. In the past, the female guests always asked us to call us fairies, sisters, sweethearts, sweethearts, etc., or to indulge in the addiction of princesses. This is the first time that we are called sister. .”

The young man in Tsing Yi carefully observed the interesting woman in front of him. Although he meant to examine her, his eyes were gentle and polite, which did not make Gu Yuchu feel any discomfort.

"Yeah, I just like it." Gu Yuchu responded generously.

"What would you like to drink, sister?"

"What kind of drinks do you have, and what are your specialties?"

"As for wine, we only have the specially brewed Suo Qingqiu, and for tea, we only have white tea, a specialty of Qiongzhou."

"In such a big store, the drinks are so simple. I don't even have a choice." Gu Yuchu was embarrassed.

"Sister, I don't know. Firstly, good things are better than thousands of choices. Secondly, when you come to the elegant room, you can taste all the drinks."

"It's impossible to do business at a loss if you open the door for business."

"Haha, drinking wine alone is no fun, it's even better when paired with the ethereal music of the musicians."

"I understand, do you need money to order music?" Gu Yuchu suddenly realized.

"That's natural." Young Master Qingyi smiled.

"What if I don't like listening to music?"

"If you don't listen to the music, then this private room is calculated by the hour, ten taels of silver per hour."

"Your boss is really good at business."

"I just want my sister to be happy."

Gu Yuchu sighed at the young master in Tsing Yi's eloquence. Since he came to steal his master, he naturally couldn't part with the money.

"Then let's listen to the music. Are your musicians very particular?"

"You can see that my sister has seen the big world." The young man in Qingyi opened the folding fan in his hand, "There are musicians and popular tunes on it. Sister, please take a look." Gu Yuchu took the folding fan. The front and back of the fan were neatly decorated with official calligraphy. The name of the musician and the tune are written on it.Suddenly a familiar name came into view.

Gu Fan? !Ha ha.Since I don’t know how to choose, it should be him.

"Just this Gu Fan."

"My sister has good taste, but this musician is worth a lot, 20 taels of silver an hour."

"Is there anything cheaper?" Gu Yuchu said deliberately. Although she thought so in her heart, she had to make a fool of herself no matter what today.

"The music is for someone who is destined to be with you, so it's not expensive. This musician has a bold temperament. If you have the same interests as him, maybe he won't take anything from you." The young man in Qing Yi is very good at persuading.

"That's who he is."

"Then I'll invite him over. Sister, please wait for a moment." The young master in Tsing Yi retreated, and soon the maids brought him wine, food and refreshments.

Gu Yuchu enjoyed himself and took a sip of the Suo Qingqiu. It was indeed refreshing in the mouth, but when it came to the aftertaste, it was still not inferior to the original Wangfu's aged wine.

Thinking of this, she shook her head unconsciously and promised herself to forget the past, but it was always difficult to do so.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a man holding a banjo, wearing a green-brown gown and a crescent-colored belt walked in.

Gu Yuchu looked up and saw that he was closing the door behind his back, but the figure from behind looked very familiar to her.

The moment the man turned around, Gu Yuchu was so surprised that he even dropped the wine glass in his hand.

"Why are you here?!"

"You are quite carefree." The man smiled slightly.

"You, you, you!" Gu Yuchu jumped up and looked around him for a long time.

"We haven't seen each other for a year, and you can't even call me brother?" Xiao Ling felt helpless.

"No, you went to a flower house to be a musician? Aren't you a doctor?!" Gu Yuchu still didn't come to his senses.

"Sit down and talk slowly." Xiao Ling smiled and took her arm and sat down on the ground.

"Also, you are dressed too..."

"What's too much?" Xiao Ling's expression suddenly became serious.

"It's so beautiful." Gu Yuchu praised it flatteringly after swallowing the strange two words he was about to say.

"That's not what you were thinking." Of course Xiao Ling saw her duplicity and pretended to be unhappy.

"It's not important. Where did you go after the city was closed? Why did you come to this Qin Lou Chu Hall to be a musician?" Gu Yuchu had 1 questions in his mind waiting for him to answer.

"This is even less important." Xiao Ling obviously didn't want to mention the city's lockdown. "My being a musician does not prevent me from being a doctor."

"Could it be that Brother Xiao has fallen in love with some girl on Chenglu Street?" Gu Yuchu paused and smiled maliciously, "Or is it some young man?"

Xiao Ling knocked her head with his knuckles and explained: "The boss of Poshanju and I are old acquaintances. A few years ago, I was in need of some precious medicinal materials for a diagnosis. He helped me find them with all the hard work, so I owe him As a favor to him, before the store opened, he approached me and asked me to come over and help him support the store. It happened that I was also tired from visiting the doctor, so I came down to help him. "

"But can you play the piano?" Gu Yuchu asked.

"Not bad." Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows.

"Then how can you help?"

"The left side is not long enough to please girls." He said seriously, and Gu Yuchu almost spit out his drink.

However, in the military camp before, he always wore plain clothes and tied his hair, which was no different from what officers and soldiers wore. Apart from his outstanding temperament, there was nothing special about him. Now if you take a closer look at his facial features, you can see that he is indeed handsome.

With red phoenix eyes, a high nose and a moderately thick mouth, a full forehead, a sharp chin, and an attractive Adam's apple, coupled with today's elegant clothes and jet-black hair, there is actually a trace of handsomeness in addition to his handsomeness. Silly and beautiful, it is a face that pleases every girl.

"Why, are you stunned?" Xiao Ling smiled evilly when he saw the stunned woman. It was this smile that made Gu Yuchu think of that bastard Ling Ziyu.

"I think you are a little different from before." The woman smiled slightly.

"What's the difference?" Xiao Ling also smiled brighter.

"I can't tell you, but it's just that I'm not as rigid and serious as before."

"I used to be in the military camp. I faced some big men and some girls disguised as men every day. How could I laugh?"

"Hahaha...yes, yes, yes." Gu Yuchu cupped his fists and saluted as an apology.

"Speaking of which, you are so good at Chenglu Street that you went to a place like Suo Xing Palace?" Xiao Ling asked instead.

"How did you know I was in Star Lock Palace?"

"Every guest who walks into Broken Mountain Residence is part of the conspiracy." He answered without hesitation.

"Profiteer!" Gu Yuchu yelled.

"You haven't answered my question yet. It's inappropriate for a good princess to come to a place like this." Xiao Ling's expression was serious and his eyes were very serious.

"It's just like the rumors." Being looked at like this, she curled her lips helplessly. She couldn't tell the truth and no one would care.

"I haven't heard any rumors." Xiao Ling snorted and smiled lightly, "Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

"Hey..." Gu Yuchu felt more relaxed, then licked his face and greeted with a smile on his face, "Listen to the music, brother, show me your skills."

Xiao Ling curled his lips, took out the folding fan from his waist, and handed it over.

"Want to hear that one?"

Gu Yuchu threw the folding fan away, lifted his chin with one hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he was teasing, but also as if it was his nature.

"I want to listen to "Young lady Yuchu is as beautiful as a fairy, I am fascinated by her""

"Hahahahahaha..." Xiao Ling couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. He really liked this little junior sister's unrepressed and unrestrained nature after she broke free.

He lowered his head and played the piano, as if he was really following her willful request and started playing.

Gu Yu listened attentively for the first time, recalling every detail of her relationship with Qi Zhen in her mind. In fact, this nonsensical tune was her true inner expectation, but she really didn't have the courage to confess to his arrogance and willfulness.

It's funny to say that the closer she gets to Qi Zhen, the stranger she becomes, and the stranger she gets to Xiao Ling, the closer she gets. It sounds like there's no difference between them, but in fact they're worlds apart.

Two hours came quickly, and it was time for Gu Yuchu to go back and deliver his errands.

"I used Xiaofan's name." Before leaving, she made a face at Xiao Ling, "I heard that my brother is so heroic, and I won't take any money from my close friend. I wonder if I can be considered his close friend?"

Xiao Ling waved his hand helplessly, indicating that she could pat her butt and leave.

"Then I'll come see you tomorrow." Gu Yuchu blinked and pushed the door open.

Xiao Ling smiled behind him like the late summer evening breeze.
