Chapter 14 Singing and dancing to peace

Half a month before time, it was the season of spring and summer exchange. The sky was drizzling, and the whole world felt wet. The clothes washed could not dry, and there was always a musty smell.

Qin Xian'er looked outside boredly. Thinking that his master had left yesterday, he didn't take him out to see him. He was suffocated to death when he stayed in the mansion all day, and his husband didn't come back. There were a bunch of vixen at home, all of whom were fighting with him for men.

The bored Qin Xian'er only felt that she was so empty and her heart was empty. As soon as the master left, there was no one to talk to.

In the evening, the rain slowly stopped. Although the air was still very humid, the stalls and vendors who had been holding on for a long time took advantage of the rain to bring out their own food affairs and go to the street to earn money to support their families. The lights were on, and the hawking sounds were heard one after another. Jinling City, which had been silent for a long time, slowly came to life.

Qin Xian'er also saw the rain stop, and the haze that could not go out for a few days was swept away. Master was not around, otherwise he would have asked her to go shopping together. There were so many sisters at home that I had a little chat with my own sister. The rest of Qin Xian'er looked down on me and didn't know what my husband thought. It would be great to marry me and my master. At worst, with my sister and my uncle, I could always be with him. Now, this group of burdens still require my sister and master to take care of him. It is not enough to go to my husband's side. Qin Xian'er is angry when I think about it.

She changed into a long lilac dress, her hair was tied up, and she made it into a woman's bun, bit her lipstick, and a mature and beautiful young woman appeared in front of her, but her naughty eyes and slightly pouted mouth could still tell her little girl's thoughts.

I don’t like to take care of my servants, and I feel very troublesome, and I’m afraid that my sister will find out, so I just sneaked out by myself.

Walking on the bustling street, Qin Xian'er was very happy. The lively environment made her intoxicated. When she saw a juggling spitting fire there, Qin Xian'er looked excitedly. Although her husband had talked about the principle of spitting fire, it still looked very magical. She would spit out fire after watching it, and then walked around and took a look.

Qin Xian'er was very eye-catching when walking on the street. She was originally a charming beauty, the innate nobleness of the princess, and the spoiled young woman of the first time, all made her the focus of pedestrians on the street. Qin Xian'er didn't care much about it, but some people wanted to come up to eat tofu under the crowded road, but she secretly gave her a few hands, and the rest didn't dare to do it. Qin Xian'er hummed with a proud look and continued to look around like a little girl and play around, until she saw many people around a restaurant. Curiously, she moved there, relying on her high martial arts skills, without touching anyone, and squeezed into the crowd and stood in front of the restaurant.

I saw a high platform in the restaurant, and a group of beautiful women were dancing on the platform. Accompanied by soothing music, people couldn't help but relax. There was no too vulgar element, but it was just a gimmick in the restaurant, combining singing and dancing with drinking, and the boss was also a talent. Not long after the beginning, not only was the building full, but there were also people around the outside. I think the boss should be laughing.

Qin Xian'er is also very novel. She has been a courtesan before. The songs and dances are basically performed for several people, and the lyrics are vulgar and the dance is charming, which makes her feel annoyed.

But when I saw this performance today, it was not only a performance for the general public, but also fresh and refined. The women's dance was elegant and freehand, and the music was soothing and quiet, which only made people feel exhausted and refreshed.

Qin Xian'er felt it was new and it was rare to have such a chance to have fun with the people. She looked around on tiptoe, and her big eyes were full of playfulness and looked very cute.

Qin Xian'er now wants to find a seat and sit down and watch the singing and dancing performances. Although she had seen enough such singing and dancing in the past, she is now lively. You can still hear the noise of the crowd and the hawkers outside, which makes Qin Xian'er, who hasn't gone out for a long time, feel very friendly.

After looking at it for a long time, the seat was almost full, and I was a little worried when I stood there.

Today is the day when the restaurant rises again. As the boss, Sun Ming is of course here. Since he saw such a singing and dancing performance in Beijing, Sun Ming has been obsessed with it. His restaurant business is getting worse and worse. In the past two years, his father was overworked and passed away, leaving his mother and his brothers. As the eldest brother, he always had to take on the family business. However, as his father left, many of his connections were cut off. Those old people refused to recognize themselves, which was equivalent to starting over again.

Sun Ming is also a very smart person and has a certain talent in management. Although he is incomparable to his father when he was alive, his management has gradually improved.

Some time ago, I was invited by a friend to go to the capital. I was fascinated by the prosperity of the capital. I saw this kind of singing and dancing performance for the public during a banquet. I secretly remembered it and wanted to go back to my own restaurant and promote it like this. I thought that it would make the restaurant's business a step further. When I thought about it, Sun Ming felt proud and sat in a small private room on the second floor of the restaurant, drinking a little wine, and watching the grand occasion outside.

Sun Ming had just picked up the wine glass and prepared to drink. He looked at the crowd with a smile. He was very happy. Suddenly, he saw Qin Xian'er protruding his head.

Sun Ming knew who that was, the former courtesan of Miaoyufang and one of Mrs. Lin today, and his real identity was even more princess.

When she was still in Miaoyufang, she was taken to listen to the song by a friend. Although she was just a quick glance, Qin Xian'er's figure and her beautiful singing voice were deeply imprinted in Sun Ming's heart. However, the courtesan of Miaoyufang was not something that a small boss like him could peek at. Even if he went to Miaoyufang to listen to the song once, he might not be able to pay for it.

After learning that she was actually a princess and married Lord Lin Wanrong and became one of Mrs. Lin, the love hidden in her heart could only go with the wind with a sigh.

Sun Ming was holding a wine glass in his hand, and stopped at his mouth, staring at Qin Xian'er in a daze, remembering his past.

I slowly came to my senses, looked at the wine glass in my hand, poured it hard, put it heavily on the table, and made a sound, as if I had made up some determination, clenched my fists, as if I was cheering myself up again, turned around and called the servant, gave a few instructions, watched the servant nodded and walked out of the private room, slowly stood up, came to the window, showed a satisfying smile, and looked down.

Qin Xian'er looked around and saw that there was no place. She looked very unhappy. She looked reluctantly at the performance on the stage. She felt a little thirsty and wanted to leave here and find a place to sit down and drink something. Just as she was about to turn around, a person dressed as a servant next to her walked over from the restaurant and saluted respectfully. Qin Xian'er was very confused and she didn't know this person either.

The servant said, Mrs. Lin, you can't find a seat. Our boss wants to invite you to the second floor private room. The best location is where you can watch the performance. I wonder what you are thinking?

Qin Xian'er looked at the servant in front of him. He bent over slightly, with a respectful attitude and no disrespect in his words. He looked up at the second floor and saw a young man watching the performance in a delicate small windowsill with a happy smile on his face, as if he was happy for his success. He seemed to feel her gaze. He turned to look at her, nodded with a smile to her, greeted her, and made a gesture of invitation.

Qin Xian'er tilted her head and looked at it. She felt that she could do it. She didn't dare to do anything randomly with him. She nodded and asked the servant to lead the way. She followed the servant from the stairs behind to the second floor.

Qin Xian'er looked around along the way, but she thought the restaurant was good. The stairs were not like ordinary restaurants. They were just simple wood and there were also carved with animal heads, cloud patterns, etc., which made people look unusual.

Going to the second floor, although the area is not as large as the first floor, it is better because of the quietness. I don’t know what materials are used, and the noise below sounds much weaker on the second floor.

There are about four or five private rooms on the second floor, and the workmanship is quite particular. After listening to it, there seems to be someone coming from it, as if chatting. Qin Xian'er is not someone who likes to inquire about other people's privacy, and she walked through this section with an expressionless face.

The servant kept taking Qin Xian'er to the end of the corridor on the second floor. There was a very special room with a unique look, which was very unique. Why do you say that? Because there were two small stone lions placed at the door, unlike the evil-suppressing stone lions placed at the door. These two stone lions were small and cute, and their movements were also cute. They looked like they were sleeping. When they looked closely, they were playing with their tails. Qin Xian'er looked at it and took a few more glances and decided to ask someone to do some fun after going home.

The servant walked between the two stone lions and knocked on the door. After receiving the reply from inside, he gently pushed open the door, stood on the side of the door, bowed and made a gesture of invitation, and his movements were meticulous, which was pleasing to the eye. Qin Xian'er couldn't help but look up at the servant and the owner inside. It looked quite unusual to have such a shrewd and capable servant.

Thinking of this, Qin Xian'er still moved her lotus steps lightly and walked in slowly.

The first thing Qin Xian'er saw was a small round table, right in the middle of the room, next to it, with four chairs on the table, with wine, food and delicacies on the table. The whole room looked very small, but when Qin Xian'er looked carefully, she felt that it was not that the room was small, but that there were too many things. The ground was covered with exquisite Persian blankets, and a large cabinet was stuck to the wall on the right. Next to the big cabinet was a desk with four treasures of the study. In the past, it was a bookcase, which was slowly filled with books. Looking at the dilapidation of the books, you knew that the owner must have read it frequently. On the wall facing the door, a Dahua Map filled the entire wall. If you look closely, you can also see that there was a small flag in Jinling, Beijing, Yangzhou and other places.

There was only one windowsill on the entire wall on the left. At this time, the man who invited him was standing there.

Sun Ming felt that Qin Xian'er had entered the room. He pressed the windowsill a little nervously, took a deep breath, cleared out the things that were messing around in his mind, and smiled again on his face, turned slowly, and faced Qin Xian'er.

At this moment, Sun Ming only felt that the whole room was bright and his consciousness was a little erratic, but his eyes were still staring at the beauty who had just entered the room. Sun Ming swears that he had never seen such a beautiful woman before.

On her bright and pretty face, a pair of big, watery eyes looked around, as if she could speak, her skin was smooth and fair. Under her small, beautiful nose, her thin jade lips were a little rosy, which made people look there involuntarily. Her hair was tied up into a woman's bun, and she was shaking with a tassel, swaying slightly with the swing of her head. A long lilac dress could not cover up her proud figure. Although she was just standing there, it made people feel so unreal, like a fairy walking out of the painting, she was not as powerful as a worldly fireworks.

Sun Ming was stunned. He had only seen her beautiful face through the samu. He had never met so close. Qin Xian'er was indeed Xian'er.

Cough!The servant standing outside couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only cough gently to remind his boss.

Sun Ming was frightened by this sound and came to his senses. Seeing that Qin Xian'er was still looking at the Dahua Geometric Map seriously, he quickly sorted out his thoughts so that he would not make a fool of himself. He slowly calmed down his breath, smiled again, and said to Qin Xian'er, Mrs. Lin, in the boss of Haoran's residence, Sun Ming, saw that his wife was attracted by singing and dancing, so he invited her to this private room to taste wine and show her performance together, and asked her to forgive her for being abrupt.As he said that, he bowed to Qin Xian'er and expressed his apology.

It doesn’t matter, the master’s family is kind, how could the fairy blame him?Qin Xian'er opened her red lips lightly and said slowly.

After many years, Sun Ming once again heard Qin Xian'er's voice, which made him feel like a sing of orioles and a lark sing, and the sound was like a clear spring, slowly flowing through his heart, which made him tremble all over and almost lose his composure. He quickly controlled himself and reached out to make a gesture of invitation. Mrs. Lin, please take a seat.

Qin Xian'er nodded, walked to the small round table, looked at it, and sat on the chair closer to the door.

When Sun Ming saw Qin Xian'er sitting down, he accused him of guilt, and sat down, and spoke to the servant who was standing outside. The servant bowed and retreated, and closed the door.

The position of the small round table can be said to be excellent. Unless you face the windowsill, you can sit down from any position and look outside and see the singing and dancing performances below. The people below can basically not see the situation above, and the design is very clever.

After Sun Ming sat down, he refused to look at Qin Xian'er's beautiful face. He just took the wine pot first, poured wine for the wine glass in front of Qin Xian'er, and filled his wine glass. After putting down the wine pot, he picked up his wine glass and prepared to toast Qin Xian'er. He looked at her and found that Qin Xian'er did not pay any attention to him at all, but just watched the singing and dancing performance outside with interest.

The singing and dancing outside are actually not that attractive to Qin Xian'er, but since he came to this room, the layout and feeling inside have made Qin Xian'er feel good. He also has a little bit of goodwill towards Sun Ming sitting opposite him. Seeing that he is honest and polite, he smiled secretly, but on the surface, he didn't express much, and he was still watching the performance outside.

Sun Ming was a little embarrassed after he had no toast. He touched his nose, looked at Qin Xian'er's beautiful side face, and listened to the music outside, and felt that his heart was so peaceful at this moment, which made him feel that he had the illusion that he had been going on like this. Fortunately, the music downstairs changed, and he woke up his personal fantasy in time. He picked up the dishes with his chopsticks, chewed slowly in his mouth, and turned his body to the side, watching the performance downstairs.

Qin Xian'er was a little nervous. The environment here made her feel very comfortable. There was a lot of fun to watch, and there were people to accompany her. Unlike her husband, she had never accompanied her after getting married. Until now, only her sister gave birth to a boy for her husband. Other sisters, including herself, made Qin Xian'er, who loved Lin San deeply, very uncomfortable and jealous. However, Lin San had been away from Jinling for several months, and there was no way to be with any wife. Qin Xian'er's impulse to want a child could only be suppressed.

The environment is very comfortable, Qin Xian'er just wanted to stay like this, but she is a guest, so why would she be embarrassed to sit here all the time? Sun Ming would occasionally toast to drink once, and Qin Xian'er didn't ignore it every time. She felt that it was just a normal drink and she drank it with face a few times. The two had no conversations, mainly because Qin Xian'er had no interest in talking, and Sun Ming was not willing to pester it, so she could only drink and eat food in disappointment, and there was no overly overbearing.

In this harmonious atmosphere, the performance downstairs has come to an end, and the restaurant has been crowded and business is booming.

At this time, a slight knock on the door came from outside. Sun Ming frowned, a little unhappy, and spoke and came in, but it was the servant who led the way. He bowed and stood outside, not daring to look inside.

Boss, there is something here that you may need to know.The servant bent over and stood outside and said.

Sun Ming still knew that he was a servant, and he had no real necessity, and he would never disturb him at such an important time, so he was a little difficult. After all, the guest was still by his side, and as the host, he just let go of the guest and ignored him, but he was rude.

If the master has something to do, it is okay for this palace to deal with it.Although Qin Xian'er's external identity is Mrs. Lin's family, she still regards herself as a princess most of the time, after all, this identity is easier to use.

Then I am sorry for being rude. Please wait for a moment and lose your companionship.After saying that, he gave Qin Xian'er a bow, walked quickly to the door, took the door gently and went out.

Qin Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief. It was always embarrassing to be alone in the room with a strange man. This was also because she was not willing to drink too much. Now that she has finished singing and dancing, she can say goodbye just when the host comes back.

Qin Xian'er was a little bored, and her eyes were circling around, so she fixed on the Dahua Geometric Map. When she first came in, she saw this map. It was a little rough and must be incomparable to the maps in the military and palaces, but it seemed that it had its own merits. At least some of the business names marked on it were not available to other maps.

Qin Xian'er was very interested in this map. She couldn't help but stand up and walk to the map to study it. She gradually saw some tricks. There were small flags on it, which should be the place where the owner had been. There were detailed landscape signs on it. Each city also marked the names of each street and the names of the merchants opened above. It was really very careful and exquisite.

After reading for a while, if no one introduced the explanation, it was a little bored, so I turned to look at the bookcase. In addition to the common Four Books and Five Classics, there are also some biography and historical literature. Qin Xian'er picked up a book and flipped it out. He had no interest. They were all books of corrupt scholars, but they were just talking about war on paper.

Looking down, Qin Xian'er found that some books seemed to be hidden inside, hiding in dark corners that were difficult to see, which aroused her great interest and looked like they were hidden by man.

People always have strange curiosity about peeping into other people's privacy. Qin Xian'er is no exception now. Seeing this book that was deliberately hidden, he couldn't help but pick it up and take a look. He looked around with guilt. Of course, there was no one. With some sinful thoughts, he took out a book from it. There was no name on the cover. He just looked at the content. Qin Xian'er instantly blushed and blushed.
