Chapter 22 That year I sold my sorrow for three gold coins
Fengyun City is very comfortable for Li Mingzhu. The Tianshan Mountains span the East Xuan Realm and the North Xuan Realm, while Fengyun City is next to Tianshan. The ice and snow on the mountain do not melt all year round. The nearest valley is only 30 miles away from Fengyun City.
In the hot summer, being able to enjoy the cool breeze blowing from the icebergs often, drinking fruits from the ice town from the mountains is an enjoyment that is not available in Sifang City.
The guests who come to Hongxiulou to enjoy the entertainment are either after the Wei time or after the You time, and no one will come to visit at noon.
There was no guest, and the two sisters were lying on the bamboo chair on the fourth floor, humming small songs and chatting about homework.
Li Mingzhu squinted her eyes, shook the cold fan, and said to Li Hongxiu softly: "You don't consider selling this building. Go to Sifang City with me. There are more people there and more money. It's not like the small people here, and I can't earn a few taels of silver."
Li Hongxiu also half closed his eyes and waved his embroidered round fan gently, not knowing whether it was a fan or a mosquito.
After hearing that my sister advised me to sell the building, I couldn't help but open my eyes and blanched my eyes. "I'm old and I'm used to staying in the same place, so I don't want to move anymore!"
"You and you are less than thirty years old, why are you old? Hurry up and find a man to marry yourself." Li Mingzhu stretched out her hand, but she drank all her herbal tea, and then she raised her throat and asked Xiaohongxiao to pour tea.
He shouted, looked at Li Hongxiu's silence, and said mysteriously: "I look at Li Ye who plays with Yu'er. His master, Mr. Mo, is good, and he can be both literary and martial. He is born with you."
"If you two are in a pair, they will definitely be a harmonious sound of the zither and the perfect match!" Li Mingzhu said with a laugh.
After hearing this, Li Hongxiu was stunned and thought to himself that he hadn't thought about this yet. He waved his feather fan and pointed at Li Mingzhu and said, "Do you think I am a woman who can't get married? Do you think you're so impatient and get married and have children?"
When Li Mingzhu heard this, she heard this, she raised her voice and said, "Why are you talking about you? Why are you pulling me? I am your sister, do you know the rules?"
"The elder sister is like a mother. This mother is gone, so you have to listen to me." Li Mingzhu roared.
Li Hongxiu rolled his eyes again and didn't respond. He thought to himself: You, Balabala, have said a lot, I go in my left ear and my right ear.
As the sisters were talking, Xiaohong came in with a pot of herbal tea. Looking at the two of them, she thought that the two ancestors had arguing again. She poured tea for them and handed it to them.
Li Mingzhu took a sip of tea and didn't give up. She said again: "Why don't you wait for Yu'er to come back and ask her to talk to Li Ye and ask him to find a chance for you and Mr. Mo to sit?"
After hearing this, Li Hongxiu was so angry that he smiled and spat: "Don't forget that you are a mother. Did you call your daughter to pull the red line for your aunt like that? You don't know how shy."
"What's the point of being a mother? It's natural to find a brother-in-law for your sister. Who dares to laugh?" Li Mingzhu said unhappy when she looked at her.
Xiaohong was grinning, but when she heard Li Mingzhu's words, she was frightened and picked up the tea and drank it hard. As a result, she was not angry and sprayed it out in one sip.
Li Hongxiu laughed loudly and covered her mouth and said, "Xiaohong doesn't care about her, she's in the middle of a flower."
Li Mingzhu looked at her sister with disgust and said seriously: "Yu'er followed Wushuang to the Great Buddha Temple to find Li Ye in the morning. Seeing that the sky is coming soon. I will talk to you later."
Li Hongxiu looked at his unwilling sister, and two red clouds flew on his face. He thought to himself: I have never seen the appearance of the husband seriously, although I have met him a few times.
"What are the matter with Li Ye, the two sisters?" Xiaohong, who didn't know the truth, interrupted.
"Speak... How are you and Chunxiang practicing the songs you brought back and forth from Li Ye?" Li Hongxiu patted his heart, thinking to himself, I'm just going to react quickly.
Li Mingzhu looked at her sister and was speechless. She followed her sister's words and said, "Didn't it mean that someone in the city has heard of it? Do you think it's very touching? Practice quickly!"
"I've been practicing for almost all, and I can sing it to the guests tomorrow and the next day." Xiaohong was surprised. The sister shifted the topic to herself in a blink of an eye.
"Well, hurry up. Let me tell the guests tomorrow that you can order this song, but it's just how much is appropriate to charge." Li Hongxiu frowned when he thought of collecting money. If he collected too much, the guests had opinions, but if he was less, he was unwilling to accept it. This cost a lot of money.
Li Mingzhu simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at Li Hongxiu and Xiaohong. She muttered to herself: This woman, when she just talked about finding a man for her, she was shy and looked shy. When she turned around, when she talked about making money, she immediately looked like a tigress. She really valued profits by a businessman!
He sighed and said, "I seem to have heard someone say that flowers should be broken, so don't wait for the flowers to be broken!"
Li Hongxiu glared at the phoenix's eyes and wanted to speak.
Xiaohong's mouth is fast, and she continued: "Yeah, it's fast. While everyone in the city is interested in this song, we can earn more money."
The two sisters looked at Xiaohong together, thinking where was this strange thing coming from!
"Where are flowers? My aunt took me and my sister Wushuang to pick them!" Lalala, the two ladies are back!
Looking at the two little girls who were red, green, and beautiful, the two sisters were speechless. They were all in chaos.
Li Hongxiu held Shangguan Wushuang's hand, and Dongfang Yuer lay on Dongfang Mingzhu.
Touching the little lady's head, Li Hongxiu said softly: "What did you two eat at noon? Are you hungry? If you are hungry, ask Xiaohong to buy cakes."
Li Mingzhu held her daughter and used her hand to clean Dongfang Yuer's hair that was chaotic for the wind.
He asked, "Did you see Li Ye? Why did that kid go to the temple? Didn't he just come out of seclusion from his husband? He ran to the Big Buddha Temple to meet the old monk."
Dongfang Yuer broke free from Li Mingzhu and ran to hold hands with Miss Wushuang. The two of them found a stool to sit down.
He counted his little fingers and said, "My sister Wushuang, Agui from Li Ye's mansion, and the old tailor in the city, I ate vegetarian food in the temple's vegetarian hall. It was delicious. We both finished the meals made by the monk."
The young lady tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "I heard from the old monk that he taught Li Ye a set of boxing techniques. But when we went there, he was staring blankly under the Bodhi tree and didn't see him practicing."
The two young ladies continued to speak one by one.
"What did the old tailor in the city follow Agui to the temple?" Li Hongxiu was puzzled.
"Li Ye made clothes for his old monk, and invited the old master from the Jinxiu Clothing Village in the city." Dongfang Yuer said first.
Miss Wushuang said, "What he spent was the gold coins you gave you, and gave him ten pieces of the old tailor and ninety pieces of the master. Yu'er and I were still waiting to share the money. It's been a few days, but we haven't gotten it!"
The two sisters and Xiaohong laughed so hard when they heard this. The two young ladies were so cute and were still thinking about dividing the five hundred gold coins that Li Ye got from Li Hongxiu.
Yes, the money has not been distributed, and they have already spent 100 yuan.
Li Hongxiu smiled and said, "You two little kids are not giving up? Isn't the remaining money he has to stay with his husband? You two are waiting for him to come out of the temple and ask him for it! I see he dare not give it!"
When the two young ladies heard Li Hongxiu's words, they looked at each other and slapped their palms with their hands. That means: He can run away, the monk can't run away, so wait and see.
Dongfang Yuer looked at her mother and wanted to act coquettishly, saying, "Mother, you just told my aunt, where are you going to pick flowers? Can you take me and Sister Wushuang with you?"
Li Mingzhu, who had already stopped laughing, laughed again when she heard her daughter’s question. She said, “What kind of flowers are you picking? It’s your aunt who said, “Look at where Li Ye is coming from, how much can a song be sold for!”
"I remembered that the guest who said he had heard this song last time said: "If he could hear this song in our Hongxiulou, he would be willing to give out two gold coins." Xiaohong shouted.
It should be noted that ordinary customers come to Hongxiulou for only five gold coins.
Miss Wushuang held her chin with her hands and said, "This is too cheap. They will get tired of listening to a song. If you ask Li Ye for a song in the future, you won't be able to sell it for the price."
The young lady is a wealthy fan.
Dongfang Yuer has been in the Domain Lord's Mansion since she was a child, and the value of money was unnatural, so she could only nod along with the young lady.
Li Mingzhu looked at her sister, thought for a while, and said, "Or how about five gold coins, they can afford this price."
Li Hongxiu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Try it first, three gold coins each, only two times a day."
Miss Wushuang also nodded and said, "Yes, take your time, don't let them hear enough at once!"
"Also, Li Ye is in charge of me and Yu'er in the future. If you Hongxiulou ask him for lyrics and music, you have to pass by us and share the money with us." The young lady took Dongfang Yu'er's little hand and began to declare sovereignty.
The two young ladies' eyes glowed and their little faces were red, as if they were about to count the gold coins belonging to them.
Li Hongxiu was completely tired. He looked at the self-portrait hanging on the wall, sat in front of the piano, placed his hands on the strings, closed his eyes and thought, the sound of the piano flowed out between his fingers, and hummed softly:
Clouds think of clothes and flowers think of face,
The spring breeze blows the dew thickly.
If it weren't for Qunyu Mountain,
I will meet under the moon on the Yao platform.
Li Hongxiu played and sang it again. The piano sound and singing sound were a little awkward when he played it the second time, it was already very smooth.
Before the guests arrived at this time, only the melodious sound of the piano and the resentful voice of the owner of the Hongxiu Tower echoed in the entire Hongxiu Tower, which made Li Mingzhu and Xiaohong crazy, and tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of their eyes.
The two young ladies listened to the wonderful voice, but planned to do it: Well, this song can also be sold for money, and it must be higher than three gold coins.
There are occasionally passers-by in the street downstairs. When they hear the resentful singing, they can't help but stop and listen.
The clouds are light, the wind is clear, and the sun is just right.
People are infatuated and have a grudge, but who knows my heart?
Li Mingzhu thought in her mind, when would she find an opportunity to take Li Hongxiu to see Mr. Mo again and put this matter out in person? Maybe, maybe it would be done?
Li Hongxiu was wondering in her heart that this sister was really full and had nothing to do, and she actually wanted to be a matchmaker.
The two young ladies were secretly planning to wait for Li Ye to come out of the temple and go to share the money.
