Chapter 66 Qin Xian'er (Part 2)It goes without saying that this enchanting lady was none other than the top courtesan of Miaoyu Pavilion, Qin Xian'er.
Lin Wanrong couldn't help but smirk when he saw Qin Xian'er's silhouette. Courtesans, as a rule, don't want to reveal their faces too easily. They like to be mysterious and flirtatious in order to attract more attention. This was no different from the way Lin Wanrong conducted business - creating hype. He was already used to such tactics.
Qin Xian'er didn't say a word, her fingers gently plucked the strings, and a heavenly sound approached from a distance, slowly growing louder. At first, it was as soft as a clear spring flowing down a mountain, gradually intensifying like a drizzle in early spring. Listening closely, the music seemed to possess a magical power, swirling above one's head and whispering in the ear, completely captivating the listener.
"Clouds soar above the mountain peaks, the sun sets by the river, lingering by the railing, my eyes filled with misty waves.
Standing and gazing at the desolate scene by the border, a thousand miles of clear autumn, my eyes reluctantly hold back tears.
The divine capital fades away, the lovely fairy, the silk message from our parting is difficult to reunite.
The lone wild goose has no proof, it flies down to the sandbank, my thoughts are endless. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
I secretly think back to the time, how many joyous encounters we had;
Who would have known that we couldn't foresee our reunion and separation, turning into rain of regret and clouds of sorrow.
Hindered from pursuing our journey.
Every time I climb mountains and overlook waters, it brings up my lifelong worries, sinking into darkness, remaining silent for days, only to descend the tower."
A pleasant female voice emerged, clear and unhurried, as if revealing a young girl's thoughts, gently expressing the sorrow and resentment in the lyrics.
This poem, titled "Melodies of the Jade Flute," was written by the famous poet Liu Sanbian from the previous Song Dynasty. Liu Sanbian, a master of poetry and lyrics, devoted his life to composing lyrics and styled himself as the "White-robed Prime Minister." His lyrics were filled with lingering emotions and tender feelings, truly the best of their kind.
As Qin Xian'er sang the poem, her voice harmonized with the music, bringing out the profound meaning and infusing the lyrics with an indescribable melancholy.
The previously noisy crowd in Miaoyu Pavilion fell silent, still immersed in the beautiful realm created by Qin Xian'er's song even after it ended.
Cheng Ruinian and Luo Yuan, the two young masters, stared blankly at the charming figure behind the beaded curtain, their faces full of admiration. When they glanced back at Young Master Guo, he was even more unbearable, his drool dripping down, looking very much like a lovesick fool.
Even the secretive stunning ‘young master’ and her servant, who had their own hidden agenda, were immersed in the music and couldn't break free. After a while, the stunning young master finally sighed, "Hearing this tune today, I won't crave music for years to come. If this Qin Xian'er isn't the person I'm looking for, it would be quite delightful to become her sister."
Among the group, the most clear-headed was Lin Wanrong, who was a lower-class servant. Qin Xian'er's singing and musical skills were indeed beautiful, but to someone like Lin Wanrong who was used to electronic synthesized music, it seemed a bit monotonous.
Lin Wanrong looked around and saw Young Master Guo's infatuated expression, recalling that he had taken forty taels of silver from him and promised to draw Qin Xian'er's attention to him.
Once Qin Xian'er finished her song, she gracefully stood up. A maid on the side lifted the beaded curtain, revealing a face of heavenly beauty in front of everyone.
Her black hair was elegantly piled up, her face fair and rosy, with almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, and cherry lips. Although dressed in plain clothes, she seemed radiant, walking gracefully like a willow swaying in the wind, and her beautiful eyes captivating everyone around her.
Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a few beats. This Qin Xian'er was really charming, on par with the evil girl Xiao Qingxuan he had met by the Xuanwu Lake, but with an added touch of allure.
Qin Xian'er smiled, her eyes seemingly containing a mysterious magic that made people unable to resist looking at her again and again. Both men and women in the hall stared at her, seemingly captivated by her charm.
Qin Xian'er covered her lips and laughed softly, saying in a delicate voice, "Greetings, everyone. I am Qin Xian'er."
The governor's son, named Luo Yuan, was the first to react, clapping his folding fan and saying loudly, "I am Luo Yuan, pleased to meet you, Miss Xian'er."
Cheng Ruinian followed suit, saying eagerly, "I am Cheng Ruinian, greetings to Miss Xian'er."
"I am Liu Gengsheng, pleased to meet Miss Xian'er—"
"I am..."
Seeing dozens of young masters trying to please Qin Xian'er, Lin Wanrong quickly patted Guo Wuchang and urged, "Young Master, Young Master, say something!"
Guo Wuchang stared at Qin Xian'er with a foolish expression, drooling and unable to speak. Lin Wanrong cursed in his heart, thinking that Young Master Guo lacked spirit.
"On behalf of my master, Young Master Guo Wuchang, Lin San, a lower-class servant from the Xiao family, sends his greetings to Miss Qin," Lin Wanrong said loudly.
Unfortunately, his voice, though loud, was drowned out by dozens of young masters introducing themselves and bowing to Qin Xian'er, leaving no one to notice the voice of a mere servant like him.
"Miss, it turns out that the rascal is a servant of the Xiao family. We have found him now." Lin Wanrong's words were overheard by the stunning young master and her servant, who hadn't been the intended audience. The stunning young master excitedly said, "Now we've found him."
She then frowned, "Although he's a bit of a scoundrel, he does have some talent. How could he end up as a servant in the Xiao family?"
Her servant replied, "He may have some knowledge, but his character is terrible. After how he treated Miss that day, he deserves to be a servant."
Seeing that no one had heard his voice, Lin Wanrong was annoyed. As the young masters, led by Luo Yuan and Cheng Ruinian, were desperately trying to please Qin Xian'er, and Young Master Guo wasn't doing anything to help, Lin Wanrong saw a teapot on the table. He grabbed it and smashed it on the ground.
With a loud "clang," everyone's attention was drawn to Lin Wanrong. Seeing that all eyes were on him, Lin Wanrong patted Young Master Guo on the back, stood up, and said, "Lin San, a servant of the Xiao family, sends greetings to Miss Qin on behalf of my master, Young Master Guo Wuchang."
Young Master Guo winced in pain, let out a cry, and quickly wiped the drool off his face. Stuttering, he said, "Mi-mi-miss Qin..."
Everyone laughed at his stammering. Qin Xian'er smiled at Guo Wuchang and said, "So this is Young Master Guo. Greetings."
Qin Xian'er had met many people and naturally wouldn't care about Guo Wuchang and Lin San. After greeting Guo Wuchang, she turned to chat with the others.
Cheng Ruinian said, "Miss Xian'er, your song earlier was heavenly, as if we were floating on clouds and savoring sweet wine. You not only possess the beauty of a celestial being but also the skill of one. I truly admire you."
Qin Xian'er covered her mouth and laughed, "Young Master Cheng, you flatter me. My humble looks and talents could hardly catch the discerning eyes of people like you and Young Master Luo."
Qin Xian'er's demeanor was charming, her eyes captivating as she spoke.
Cheng Ruinian exclaimed, "Miss Xian'er, you're too modest. Leaving your stunning beauty aside, just the melody 'Jade Flute' was so perfect and unparalleled. I have never heard anything so enchanting. You truly deserve to be called a master of our time."
"You praise me too much," Qin Xian'er modestly replied, but her face showed a hint of pride. Indeed, her musical skills could be considered unparalleled.
