C41

Very quickly, the area below the front building was filled with the lively sounds of zither silk bamboo. Leng Hong Xiu knew that the real nightlife had already begun!

Hong Shi was indeed a shrewd and capable person. With such a small amount of money, buying girls, renovating and even hiring musicians to play music, not to mention creating such a lively but not shabby scene, it was truly not easy.

Moreover, the time given to her was not much. It was only four days since she bought the old building, and Leng Hong Xiu did not expect the scene to be so lively.

Therefore, when she walked through the corridor in front of the row of rooms upstairs, she saw that the crowd downstairs was all looking at her. There were waves of surprised and shocked gasps, and the noisy hall immediately quieted down.

Leng Hong Xiu lightly swept a glance at the man and woman who were drinking wine downstairs. She did not see Sen Luo, but knew that the man would not be absent. She probably had some sort of gimmick going on, so she did not care about it and slowly walked down the stairs.

The thin veil could not stop her beauty at all, on the contrary, because of the hazy veil, it gave off an even more mysterious beauty, causing all the old masters and young masters who had come here out of curiosity to open their eyes wide, a few of them even drooling unconsciously.

It was rare to see such a beautiful woman. No wonder this red house dared to openly change its name and reopen its business. With such a beautiful woman around, how could they worry about not showing up?

Leng Hong Xiu walked down the stairs and climbed a small temporary bamboo platform. She walked behind a few layers of curtains, completely cutting off the crowd's greedy eyes from her beauty, and sat down in front of a small case inside. Unfortunately, Leng Hong Xiu was not proficient in this aspect, but knew that since Hong Shi had made the arrangements, she naturally had her own tricks to deal with it.

Sure enough, after a short period of stunned silence, the people below the stage immediately became even more boisterous, "Mother Red, the Lady Mo Qingcheng in your Red Chamber of Commerce is truly a beauty that can topple empires. Mother, please be honest and name a price!"

"That's right, red mother, we all want to have a small drink with Lady Mo. Let's talk about it for a little while, Mom, give us a price!" Someone shouted again.

As soon as they shouted, the crowd immediately burst into cheers, and everyone joined in the conversation as if they were joining in on the fun.

Some of the more impatient ones even wanted to climb onto the stage and tear off the curtains so that he would be able to face the beauties without any obstruction.

Hearing her words, it seemed that no matter which world she went to, a man would always be like this, thinking that he could buy everything with just money, but so what? What she wanted now was the money in their pockets, and what they wanted to see was her beauty.

"Masters, don't be anxious, this is the first time Miss Qingcheng has gone on stage with us, and she will even play a zither song for you guys later. After everyone has listened to the zither, we will then decide which one of us is lucky enough to be the first to win the match today and have a chat with our Lady Qingcheng in a room. We, Lady Qingcheng, will talk first, but we, Lady Qingcheng, will not sell our skills, so if any of us like Miss Qingcheng, we have to follow the etiquette, because we are all in the elegant circles, what do you guys think?"

"Aiya, Hongmama, don't be so long-winded, we've all heard it, and we're not the first people to play here. The rules don't need you to tell us, we understand as well, let Lady Qingcheng play the zither as soon as possible!"

How could they possibly have the leisure to listen to a bawdy old lady like her sitting there? The so-called guqin only wanted to hurry up and set the price for the guqin, after all, no matter how beautiful a beauty was, or how beautiful the guqin was, it was nothing compared to sitting in front of them, feeling her little hands, enjoying the tea and wine that a beauty poured for them, not to mention which one of them could afford the money?

The so-called 'I'm not selling myself for anything' in the Windy Moon Square was just a bit more expensive. However, so what if the price is a bit higher for such a beauty?

Sure enough, after one person said this, there was another round of jeering from the crowd. Before the bidding even reached the stage, someone had already taken out a bunch of banknotes from their bosom. They looked ready to take them all.

It didn't take long before all the rich kids started to imitate him. Only the ones sitting in the front row, who looked more refined, were able to hold back a little.

Needless to say, just the income from today's tea was enough to last the entire year. Although the ten newly bought girls had not been taught well, they still carried out the tasks of serving tea with great dexterity and satisfaction.

He gently clapped his hands to the bamboo platform, and an elegant zither sound was immediately emitted from behind the screen.

Leng Hong Xiu already knew that there was a person hiding behind the curtains behind her back, and that the sound of the zither was coming from that person's zither, while she was only pretending, with her hands on the zither strings. It seemed like doing fake things was not a new trick, as it was already ruined in this era.

Although she didn't know much about the zither, she could hear that the tune was as smooth as flowing water. Without skilled skill, it was impossible to do it, and as she said, as soon as the zither music finished playing, the layers of silk in front of her were removed. Everyone could only see the cold red sleeves in front of the case, as well as the ten fingers still resting on the zither.

Immediately, a jagged round of applause sounded out, followed by another round of applause. Leng Hong Xiu sneered in her heart, wondering how many of them understood the zither. Wasn't shouting 'good' out there just for the sake of intoxicating others? It was a waste of a good zither music, but seeing that these people had brought a large amount of silver over, she would barely be interested in having a chat with them for tea!
