Chapter 220 The Theory of Yangzhou
"The girl's music is very good. The two of us felt like listening to fairy music at first, and we liked it very much. Therefore, we independently proposed to invite the girl to board the ship. I hope that the girl will not be rude." Li Ke stood tall and tall, standing on the deck. , Looking at the fairy girl standing in front of her, and the maid who was behind her holding the piano, she cupped her hands and said with a smile.

Xianniang smiled and replied: "My little girl's clumsy skills, she is extremely honored to be favored by the young master, how dare she say the word abrupt."

The so-called "skill" is the ability to make a living. Li Ke listened to the fairy lady's words, and he became more and more sure in his heart. The fairy lady in front of him must be a brothel girl. It should be "art".

Li Ke said: "It's good if the girl doesn't feel abrupt. The girl is very good at playing the piano. The two of us don't feel enough after listening to one song. I would like to ask the girl to play another song. I wonder if it is possible?"

When Xianniang heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Master, you are very knowledgeable. Since you invited Xianniang to board the boat, you should know who Xianniang is. The price of traveling on the river is not the same as that of staying in the building."

Li Ke naturally knew the identity of Xianniang, and Li Ke was not worried about the price. With Li Ke's wealth, there was no one in the world who couldn't listen to the song, but Li Ke was quite curious about the woman in front of him.

Xianniang's words and deeds advance and retreat appropriately, obviously she has seen the world, and she has the meaning of being a lady. What's more rare is that Xianniang lives up to her name. Li Ke was really surprised that such an extremely philistine thing like asking for a price for pleasure did not appear vulgar in the slightest when she said it from her mouth.

Li Ke has seen many women, from palaces and brothels, even Li Ke is familiar with a lot of ladies from dignitaries in Beijing, but this is the first time Li Ke has seen such a woman.

Li Ke clapped his hands, and then a guard of Chu Palace, who turned into a servant, stepped forward, holding an ingot of gold in his hand, and stood in front of Xianniang.

Li Ke said: "This is an ingot of gold that can be used as money for a hundred guan, which is convenient for the girl to play the piano."

A hundred guan of silver is enough to redeem the body of a good-looking young lady in any brothel in Chang'an, and it can also buy two flower boats on which fairy maidens are riding, which is naturally more than enough for his piano.

Xianniang raised her hand to signal the maidservant behind her to take the gold from the servant, and smiled at Li Ke: "Young master's skill is extraordinary, he must be a member of Fang's family. If the servant's playing is not good, I hope you will not be offended."

Li Ke had heard Xianniang's qin sound before, so he naturally knew that what Xianniang said was only modest words, so he said: "Young lady is too modest, we two are all ears."

After finishing speaking, Li Ke waved his hand, and Wang Fuwei led the table and stools out of the boat house, and put them in the middle of the spacious deck.

"What music do you want to hear, my lord?" Xianniang sat down on the wooden stool and asked Li Ke.

Li Ke asked Wang Xuance next to him, "Is there any song you want to hear, sir?"

Li Ke has a close relationship with Wang Xuance, so what he said was naturally not a polite word, and Wang Xuance didn't refuse. He thought for a while and said: "It is said that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor often worried about the death of the country when he was in power, and then dreamed of Huaxu. Dao, the world will be prosperous in the end. Today, my son is going on a trip, and I hope that you can also follow the example of the Yellow Emperor, and you can get something, so let's play a song 'Hua Xu Yin'."

"No." After listening to Wang Xuance's words, Xianniang responded, and put a pair of catkins on the strings.

"Living in the big courtyard, fasting and obeying the form. Worrying about the restlessness of the world, what is the political affairs and the people's sentiments. Living for a long time at the zero of March, the Haihe River wants to be peaceful. The record of a leisurely dream is a trip to Huaxu."

Although Hua Xu's quoted music said that it was the time of the Yellow Emperor, it was recorded in "Lie Zi", and the composer has been unreliable for a long time.But even so, it doesn't affect Hua Xuyin's famous song all over the world, and it has been played for thousands of years.

There is no one who is not good at melody by Hua Xu, and it is even more difficult for Xianniang, who is a master of the piano.

Xianniang plucked the strings lightly with jade hands, and melodious and melodious sounds flowed from Xianniang's fingertips, and passed into Li Ke's ears, which made Li Ke mesmerized.

Huaxu's Yin is not too long, it's only three stanzas in total, and it takes only a cup of tea to complete a Huaxu Yin.

"Good song." After the song was played, Li Ke opened his slightly closed eyes and sighed.

Xianniang got up, bowed her knees to Li Ke and said humbly, "My little girl is not good at arts, I'll make you laugh at me."

Li Ke said: "No, the girl's piano skills are very good, even if she is placed in the city of Chang'an, she is still a high-ranking figure. Why is she not good at performing skills? If even the girl is not good at playing the piano, I am afraid that the huge Chang'an city will not be good at it." It’s hard to find a capable one.”

Xianniang laughed and said: "Young master must be well-informed, since you have said so, the slave family will have the audacity to accept it."

The brothel girl, who has been in the party for a long time, has naturally developed a pair of good eyesight. Li Ke's behavior is extraordinary, and she came from Chang'an, so she is not from an ordinary family.

Li Ke looked at Xianniang Yingying standing in front of him, and couldn't help being curious.

Regardless of appearance, piano skills, or manners, Xianniang is not comparable to ordinary girls in brothels. Even in Pingkangfang, Xieyulou Zhong, known as the crown of Chang'an, can't find someone like Xianniang, and now she has appeared here. In front of Li Ke's eyes.

Li Ke asked: "But I don't know where the girl came from and where she went?"

Xianniang replied: "My family comes from Yanyu Building in Jiangdu, and went north from Yangzhou to visit friends. This time, I am going back to Yangzhou."

In Yangzhou, Li Ke couldn't help but smile when he heard Xianniang's words.

Li Ke asked: "It's a coincidence. The girl came from Yangzhou, and I was about to go to Yangzhou. It can be regarded as the fate between you and me."

Xianniang said: "Oh? This is really rare."

Li Ke nodded and smiled, and asked: "Young lady is from Yangzhou, and I know about Yangzhou's affairs. I just want to ask you something. I don't know if she can help me?"

Although Xianniang is a woman, she is a member of the entertainment market, and the people in the entertainment market are also among the people in the market. The news is the most well-informed. Since Li Ke met him, he wanted to ask a few more questions.

Xianniang replied: "Young master, please come here. If the slave family knows, they will know everything."

Li Ke asked: "I was ordered by my father to go south to manage some business in Yangzhou. I just arrived in Yangzhou this time, and I am not familiar with Yangzhou yet. I don't know what to be careful about. Miss, can you give me some advice. "

Seeing Li Ke's appearance, Xianniang said: "Young master is very handsome, he must be a son of a wealthy family, and the business going to Yangzhou must be huge."

Li Ke said with a soft smile: "Business is okay, but it's just a little bit of ancestral property left by our ancestors."

Although Li Ke didn't say it clearly, he didn't say that he went south this time to take care of his ancestral property at the order of Li Shimin, but the ancestral property he wanted to take care of was in the sixteen states in the southeast.

Xianniang replied: "Since you are going south to do business, you need to pay close attention to the two people. These two people are the most powerful in Yangzhou. If you mess with them, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Yangzhou no matter how big or small the business is."

Li Ke didn't know that there was such a force in Yangzhou. Hearing this, he asked in surprise, "Oh? I don't know which two places they are from?"

Xianniang replied: "It's the water transport and the salt gang."
