Chapter 663 Carmen
Li Beibei said: "Yesterday I was bored waiting for you, so I went out for a stroll. I passed by a tavern and went in to have some drinks."
Chu Xiubai could tell that Li Beibei was really looking for a reason.
Back yesterday, she was so depressed.
It must be something happened.
Li Beibei hasn't fully opened up to him yet.
Chu Xiubai didn't press the question either.
Chu Xiubai said: "Since you feel bored, then I will not go to Xiaoxiang Tower today, and go out with you for a stroll."
Li Beibei said: "You don't care about me, it's still important to get down to business. Besides, I will find something to pass the time."
Fu Jingmo went out early in the morning.
Li Beibei didn't see him anyway.
In the evening, Chu Xiubai went to Xiaoxiang Tower again.
As soon as Chu Xiubai left, Li Beibei also followed.
After arriving at Xiaoxiang Building, Li Beibei went to her "room."
The gold inlaid jade has been arranged for Li Beibei.
Li Beibei has her own room and her own maid.
Yun'er is Li Beibei's personal maid.
And Li Beibei also made an agreement with Jin Xiangyu, starting today, she will start receiving guests.
Li Beibei washed and dressed in the room.
Yun'er was beside her choosing clothes for her.
Yun'er was very happy.
Originally, she was a handyman in Xiaoxiang Building.
Even a small servant can command her.
But now she is also a person under the protection of her master.
Since I met "Cherry" yesterday, I feel very hit-and-miss.
And she won't be bossy like other masters.
Li Beibei asked Yun'er while changing clothes, "Whose private room is the Tianzihao in Xiaoxiang Building?"
Li Beibei saw Fu Jingmo and that girl in the private room of Tianzihao yesterday.
Yun'er said: "The private room of Tianzihao was booked out by someone this year, but by whom, only Sister Jin knows, but I happened to see a guest go in once, and it seemed to be a young girl."
Li Beibei asked suspiciously: "You mean, the owner of Tianzihao is not a girl from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but a guest outside?"
Yun'er nodded: "It's really not the girl in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. So far, the private rooms of Tianzihao are only for VIP guests, and there is no girl who can stay in Tianzihao permanently."
Li Beibei thought of Yun'er saying that she saw female customers, and said, "Isn't the Xiaoxiang Pavilion not accepting female customers?"
Yun'er said: "That's right, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is indeed in accordance with this rule, so that woman should be the outer room of a certain guest here."
Seeing Li Beibei's eyebrows frowned, Yun'er said, "This is not uncommon here. The rich and nobles sometimes fall in love with women outside, but the main room at home can't accommodate them, so they let the outer room live in the house." Here we are, there are several more on our side.”
Li Beibei's expression became more solemn.
Is Fu Jingmo raised in the outer room here?
Li Beibei thought it was incredible.
At this time, Yun'er also helped Li Beibei change her clothes.
Yun'er said: "Sister Cherry, you directly robbed Jin Mudan's guest today, aren't you afraid that she will retaliate in the future? She is famous for holding grudges in our Xiaoxiang Pavilion."
That's right, the guest Li Beibei is going to receive today is Mingshou.
When Li Beibei just came in, he accidentally bumped into Mingshou.
Mingshou really took the bait.
Ask Jin Xiangyu to inquire.
Li Beibei had already made an agreement with Jin Xiangyu.
If Mingshou is looking for him, he will receive him.
Li Beibei smiled: "If she has the ability, she can naturally **** it back."
It is not uncommon to grab customers at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
But the guests of Golden Peony generally don't move.
One of his guests is not young, and no one is interested.
The second is that Jin Mudan's character is vindictive, and everyone feels that there is no need to cause trouble.
Li Beibei doesn't care about these.
At this time, someone from an outsider came to report: "Sister Cherry, the guests have arrived."
Li Beibei snorted, "How many guests are there?"
The little maid said: "There are three guests, Master Ming also brought two friends over."
Li Beibei had already guessed it.
Li Beibei flicked his sleeves and said, "Okay, pick up the guests."
Li Beibei walked from the back room to the front hall.
There is a table in the middle of the front hall.
There are all kinds of delicious food and wine on the table.
From behind the curtain.
Li Beibei has already seen her guests.
Three people are already sitting at the table drinking.
Ming Shou looks over forty years old.
Because of long-term drinking and meat, watching the mountains is full of brains and intestines.
The other two are naturally Fu Jingmo and Chu Xiubai.
Mingshou poured wine for the two of them himself, and then said: "Let me tell you, I am a useless housekeeper. No one in the Ming family, the maids below, or even the cooks in the kitchen listen to my arrangements." , I can only come here to drink and have fun every day."
Chu Xiubai took the opportunity to ask: "Why is this happening? You are the chief steward of the Ming family and Ming Hongsheng's brother-in-law. Who would dare to treat you like this?"
Mingshou said: "Actually, I have only been the housekeeper for three months. I used to live in the country, so they all looked down on me. My sister lost a few children one after another, and she is not in good spirits, and she doesn't have the mind to take care of me. I, my housekeeper, have a false name, but that's all, why should I be that housekeeper? Isn't it good to be so carefree? What's more, so many things will happen tomorrow, and I'm afraid of getting involved. After the new year, I will resign Wouldn't it be nice to ask my sister to buy me some land property and house after taking this position of housekeeper, and I'll go back to be a happy king."
Chu Xiubai said: "Yes, yes, by the way, just now you said that you have only been in the Ming family for three months, have you met the young masters of the Ming family who have passed away?"
Mingshou said: "I have never seen this before. Our family lives far away. If my parents hadn't passed away, I would have no choice but to come here to join my sister. I saw it once when the eldest and young master came of age, but that was not the case. It happened more than ten years ago. They left so suddenly that I didn't even have time to attend the funeral. I don't know what crimes the Ming family committed. The whole family died. If it wasn't for a young daughter, my sister It is estimated that he will follow."
Chu Xiubai continued: "But I heard from people outside today that the third young master of the Ming family may still be alive, and I saw someone asking about it today."
Mingshou said: "How is this possible? The third young master fell into the water before and there was no sign of him. He must have been washed away by the flood. If he is still alive, why hasn't he come back after half a year? But the Ming family did not give up. , They have been sending people to look for it until now, but they don’t want to believe that they haven’t seen the body, especially my sister, who is almost blind from crying.”
Fu Jingmo's expression seemed to have changed.
Reached out for a glass of wine and drank it down.
Mingshou also said: "Okay, let's not talk about these things, let's talk about some happy things. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion has a newcomer recently, and the gold inlaid jade is still hidden. I met it today. It is a rare person." Big beauty, I spent a lot of money to get her tonight, and letting the beauty accompany us to drink is the joy of life."
After finishing speaking, he urged the maid next to him: "Where is Miss Cherry, why haven't you come out yet?"
At this time, Li Beibei opened the curtain and walked out.
smiled and said, "Aren't I here?"
Hearing Li Beibei's voice, Fu Jingmo and Chu Xiubai raised their heads almost at the same time.
When she saw Li Beibei dressed up.
Both of them were stunned.
Then they all frowned.
Chu Xiubai even stood up: "You, you..."
Li Beibei quickly made a face at him: "Why, this young man is so surprised to see me, have we met somewhere?"
Mingshou over there said with a smile: "I didn't lie to you, such an alluring character, any man would be stunned when he saw it. When I first encountered it, I was even more surprised than you."
After finishing speaking, Mingshou stood up courteously: "Ms. Cherry is willing to let Ming be your first guest, it is really an honor for Ming."
Li Beibei walked over, poured Mingshou a glass of wine, and said, "Master Ming is polite, but Master Ming should know my rules."
Mingshou naturally knows the rules of this sweetheart.
In Xiaoxiang Building, every girl has her own personality.
Each has its own habits and rules.
Some are performing arts without selling themselves, and some are selling themselves without selling themselves.
Some pick-ups take half an hour.
Some like to wear a veil.
Anyway, there are all kinds of strange things.
But it added a lot of fun.
And the cherry girl in front of her, Jin Xiangyu, had already made her rules clear.
This cherry girl is a performer rather than a prostitute, and she is just an accompaniment to the wine and not worthy of the guests for the night.
Mingshou said: "Miss Cherry, don't worry. Since I'm here, I will naturally obey the rules. I will have no regrets in my life if I can drink a glass of wine with a beauty like Miss Cherry."
Li Beibei smiled and picked up a glass of wine: "Then I offer a glass to Uncle Ming."
Ming Shou was very face-saving, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Li Beibei also drank it in one gulp.
Chu Xiubai over there had a worried look on his face, and wanted to say something, but he didn't seem to be able to speak.
Fu Jingmo's expression was even more gloomy.
The air pressure in the entire room has dropped a lot.
Ming Shou was doing his best, so naturally he didn't notice.
Mingshou said: "Miss Cherry will also accompany my two friends to have two drinks. This is my honored guest of Mingshou."
Li Beibei stood up with a smile, holding the jug in one hand and the wine glass in the other, and said with a smile: "Since you are Master Ming's guest, you are also Cherry's guest."
As he said that, he turned around, leaned on Fu Jingmo's shoulder, and filled Fu Jingmo's wine glass with his hand.
Li Beibei imitated Jin Mudan's appearance yesterday, and said, "My lord, you are out to play, why are you frowning, as if someone owes you five million taels of silver, why don't you let Cherry accompany you for a drink, how about a smile. "
Fu Jingmo didn't speak.
Just looked up at Li Beibei.
Li Beibei still drank the wine in the glass all at once.
Then he walked to Chu Xiubai's side, and also leaned on Chu Xiubai's shoulder: "That young master has a dark face, which is really scary, why don't you accompany me to have a drink."
Chu Xiubai has come out of shock.
Thinking of Li Beibei's previous personality, it's not surprising that she came to this kind of place.
Probably also bored in the restaurant.
Could it be the fun she said she found.
But it seemed that she had some conflict with Fu Jingmo.
This appearance was obviously trying to make Fu Jingmo jealous.
No matter what conflicts she has with Fu Jingmo Mao, Chu Xiubai is happy to see it come true.
Chu Xiubai smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Okay, I'll drink with Miss Cherry. I want to have a few drinks."
Li Beibei and Chu Xiubai started drinking.
Mingshou over there soon joined in.
Only Fu Jingmo sat on the seat coldly, like a wooden man.
Mingshou persuaded him several times, but he didn't say anything.
His complexion is getting uglier.
Mingshou didn't care about him anymore, he only cared about drinking and having a good time.
Mingshou said: "I heard that Miss Cherry has long sleeves and is good at dancing. I wonder if she would like to dance for us."
Li Beibei drank a lot of wine.
I just feel a little dizzy all over my head.
But this feeling of being slightly drunk is a bit wonderful.
The whole person seems to be released.
Li Beibei waved his long sleeves: "Okay, I'll dance a song for you, come, music!"
Yun'er arranged for the musicians to come over.
Li Beibei said: "Have you heard of Carmen, play Carmen for me."
The musicians looked at each other.
But finally nodded.
Carmen is Donghua's most popular song.
People who love it love it to death, but most say it is obscene.
Very resistant.
This piece of music has also recently spread to Nanhan.
It is said that the most famous Qingfeng Building in Donghua has been handed down.
Of course, this song was popularized by Li Beibei when he was in Qingfeng Tower.
Carmen's prelude was played.
Accompanied by the tune, Li Beibei sang and danced.
Love is just an ordinary thing
Not surprising at all
Men are just a pastime
what's the big deal
Love is just an ordinary thing
Not surprising at all
Men are just a pastime
what's the big deal
What is love and what is meaning
It’s not that everyone lies to themselves
What is obsession and what is obsession
It's just a man and a woman playing a show
is a man I like
Regardless of rich or poor, high or low
It’s a man I abandon
I am not afraid that you will have magic power again
Love is just an ordinary thing
Not surprising at all
Men are just a pastime
what's the big deal
…
…
The rhythm of the song was fast, and Li Beibei spun in the center of the hall.
Mingshou stared straight at the eyes.
This kind of lyrics is sung in this kind of place.
It's more like a provocative meaning.
The woman in front of her is like a wild horse and a rose with thorns.
The whole body exudes the desire to conquer.
Mingshou couldn't help standing up.
It seems that he has been confused, and he is about to grab Li Beibei's shoulder.
Just when Mingshou was about to touch Li Beibei's arm, a force suddenly pushed him away.
The next second, Li Beibei was picked up by the waist.
As soon as Li Beibei looked up, he saw Fu Jingmo's stern face.
Li Beibei laughed: "Fu Jingmo, what are you doing, let me down, I haven't danced enough yet!"
Fu Jingmo ignored it, and strode out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with Li Beibei in his arms.
