Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 541 Hosta Love, Scholar's Mistake

"Is there any song I want to listen to, Miss Liuying?"

Su Rao asked meaningfully.

There was a moment of silence behind the veil, and then said, "Liu Ying will try her best."

"Then please ask Miss Liuying to play as you please."

After finishing speaking, the figure turned back to the piano table and sat down leisurely. As the ten fingers moved, the piano sound flowed out from the fingertips. There really was no fixed tune, and it was very comfortable.

On the table in front of the moon window, there is a thin cloud of smoke from the top of the bronze holding toad incense burner, which smells elegant and contains a bit of cold and pine aroma.

It's a matter of hearing that the mood calms down unconsciously.

Amidst the curling zither sounds, Su Rao smiled and said in a low voice, "What impression does Miss Liuying have of Li Cheng, a student of the Imperial Academy?"

The sound of the piano stagnated for a moment, and quickly adjusted to normal.

"Mr. Li is generous. He often comes here to listen to music. His favorite song is "Pingshadu". He is a very elegant person."

Liu Ying said unhurriedly.

"Compared to "Pingshadu", I think he should like "Jade Hairpin Love" more."

After Su Rao finished speaking, there was a glissando in the melody, like a blade brushing against gravel, which suddenly made people's hearts tense.

After that, the piano music continued, but it was inevitable to be a little impetuous.

"Young master is really good at joking."

There was an indescribable tension in Liuying's voice.

Xun Zeli and Xiao San exchanged glances, there was seriousness in their eyes, Xun Zeli waved his fan and asked casually: "What song is "Jade Hairpin Love"? I haven't heard it much before?"

"Most of this song is circulated in brothels and Chu halls. It is played and sung for women, and it is rarely put on the stage. It's normal that you haven't heard it."

After Su Rao finished speaking, the faces of Xun Zeli and the others changed for a while.

So how on earth did she know?
"It sounds like Miss Liuying knows."

Su Rao ignored their probing gazes, and continued to ask inside. After a long time, a Taoist voice came from inside, "I have heard a little about it."

The two were talking in a cloud of mist.

Finally, Xiao Qing couldn't help it, and asked cautiously: "What is this song about?"

Su Rao rested her chin on one hand, glanced at them, and looked behind the veil, as if she wanted to pass through the veil, and take a panoramic view of the changes inside.

"This "Jade Hairpin Love" is about a lonely woman who experiences troubled times and lives in a brothel, living in a swamp, but her nature is pure and clean, and then she meets a scholar."

"The scholar fell in love with her at first sight, stalked her, and finally won the girl's heart. He vowed to get a good grade in the exam and marry her."

This……

If Xun Zeli hadn't heard Liu Ying's strangeness, based on this story alone, he would definitely think it was Su Rao's nonsense.

"What then?"

Xiao Qing continued to ask.

"later……"

With a long ending, Su Rao twitched between her lips and teeth before she said slowly: "Later, the woman gave the jade hairpin as a token of love, and sent the scholar to Beijing for the exam. The scholar lived up to his expectations and won the list. In the end, I fulfilled my promise, and the lovers finally got married."

Xiao San: "..."

This story is so boring.

Xiao Qing curled her lips to express her dissatisfaction, "No wonder it is spread among women, this kind of cliché can only deceive those little girls."

Scholar is the most deceitful.

Not to mention that once they were on the list, how could two people with such different identities continue their relationship after walking around the streets?

Unless he gives up the glory and wealth at his fingertips.

But if you can really give up, why bother to go to the scientific examination?If you marry someone directly, wouldn't it be happier for your wife and children to live on the hot kang?

Thinking about this, Xiao Qing said in disbelief: "Are there really men who like to hear this?"

There were four big characters written on his face.

"I do not believe"!
Xiao San raised his hand and gave him a chestnut, is it time to worry about this?The adults are obviously talking to Liu Ying.

"No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."

Xiao Qing took a good hit, covered his forehead and closed his mouth.

Seeing this, Xun Zeli laughed, and just as the corner of his mouth opened, he felt a slash from Xiao Qing's direction, and quickly suppressed the raised arc.

He looked at Su Rao, and did not forget to tease: "Are you sure you can get things done with him? Is it not to cause trouble for you?"

The "turbulent waves" in the three people's room drew Su Rao's eyes.

She didn't bother to pay attention to these people, and asked directly behind the veil, "Does Miss Liuying like this story?"

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

The figure got up and walked behind the veil, and didn't move for a long time. When he spoke again, he couldn't help sighing softly: "A story is a story after all, whether you like it or not, it doesn't change anything."

"Young master, if you have anything to say, just ask."

Smart people open the skylight to speak brightly, and no one will hide it anymore. Su Rao's goal has been achieved, and she said directly: "What's the matter with you and Li Cheng?"

Liuying paused for a while, then said in a low voice: "He likes the slave family, and said he would redeem himself for the slave family."

"how about you?"

Su Rao looked at her straight, "What do you think about him?"

The two of them couldn't see each other's faces clearly through the veil, but Liu Ying could still feel the oppressive gaze, pursed her lips for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Once you enter this door, there is no turning back. I know that my status is low. Don’t dare to have delusions.”

The implication is that she may have intentions, but she clearly knows that there is a huge gap between the two.

"Why didn't he just redeem your body for you when he was so generous?"

Xiao San asked.

Liuying just smiled wryly, but Xun Zeli was very clear about this, "No amount of gold and silver can be exchanged for a cash cow like Miss Liuying, and the bustard won't agree."

"What Mr. Xun said is exactly."

Liuying's voice was bitter.

In Shengjing, although top players like them earn a lot, it is far more difficult than ordinary sisters to redeem themselves.

Besides, if they leave here, without shelter, their life will be even more miserable.

"When was the last time you saw Li Cheng?"

Su Rao asked.

Liuying thought for a long time, then shook her head, "Some days, I can't remember clearly."

There are so many people coming and going in the brothel every day, many of them are called to listen to her playing the piano, how can she remember.

"Think about it again."

Liu Ying frowned, racked her brains to search for memories, and hesitated for a while and said: "I really can't remember the exact date, I just remember that he smelled of alcohol when he came that night..."

liqueur?
Several people were shocked, wouldn't this coincide with what happened on the 21st?

Li Cheng and Xu Chen had dinner together and drank some wine. Later, they came back before the key was released at the city gate. Instead of going back to the school, they came to the Planting Flower House.

"What time did he come that night?"

Xun Zeli asked hurriedly.

This question is a bit difficult, but it is very important. He tried to persuade: "Please think clearly about the answer, Miss Liuying."

"Probably...probably..."

Liuying hesitated for a long time, then suddenly raised her head: "It seems that it's almost the time of the day. Sister Wanyu is going to perform on stage that day. I just selected a song for her when Mr. Li came."
