Chapter Nine Ji You Are So Beautiful
"Sir, please sit down."
Bai Wan'er's pretty face was slightly red and she poured a cup of tea for Jiang Chen and said respectfully and flatteringly:
"I heard from my sisters that a young, handsome and talented young gentleman has come to Wangyue Tower. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet him today, and to be able to audition for the young master. Wan'er is really honored!"
"Haha, okay, okay, you will definitely have a bright future in the future!"
Jiang Chen felt relieved and sat directly at the small wooden table near the window. After a few simple exchanges, he began to teach Bai Wan'er to sing.
Faced with this rare opportunity to stand out, Bai Wan'er also studied very seriously. She learned two pieces of music in less than two quarters of an hour and was able to play and sing by herself.
The girls from the courtyard who were watching from the window all applauded and applauded, and they all stared at Jiang Chen with burning eyes.
This made Jiang Chen feel very accomplished, and he praised with an unpredictable expression: "Wan'er, you are such a singing genius, your singing can be described as ethereal and refined!"
"Young Master Jiang is so complimentary! It's all your music that you composed so well!"
Bai Wan'er smiled modestly, hesitated for a moment, and persuaded tactfully:
"Mr. Jiang, your song is novel, beautiful and catchy. It will definitely be sung widely.
It's just... just why do you use such straightforward lyrics? If you are labeled as a prodigal, won't it affect your future? "
"Well...what you said makes some sense."
Jiang Chen thought about it and felt that it was too inappropriate to sing about love and love in this era, so he, Bai Wan'er and Mrs. Li who came in to join in the fun, changed the too straightforward lyrics.
…
At noon, Jiang Chen, who had everything prepared, climbed onto the small platform in the hall on the first floor.
It began to tell the story of the White Lady and Yang Jian, the reincarnated eunuch of Erlang Shen, who together rescued Zhongliang Zongze and dealt with the traitor Qin Hui.
Everyone didn't know that they all listened with gusto to his "evil plot" against the Wang family and Qin Hui. When Bai Wan'er, dressed as a white lady, came on stage to sing, the whole audience was completely silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was fascinated by the fairy-like Bai Wan'er and her beautiful singing voice. Only Lu Wenbin, who came to monitor Jiang Chen in the corner, had a disdainful look on his face and said in a strange tone:
"The tune is quite novel, but the singing is too straightforward, isn't it? The words are not words, the poem is not poetry, but you actually have the nerve to sing it at Wangyue Tower? You are not afraid of damaging Wangyue Tower..."
As he was speaking, several unkind glances came over him, and then there were cheers one after another in Wangyue Tower:
"Okay! Good singing!"
"Such straightforward lyrics can convey a refreshing and touching feeling. Miss Bai is simply Li's soulmate!"
"Yes, yes, Miss Bai's singing is so resonant that it won't stop for three days!"
"If Miss Bai doesn't mind, can you come and sit in the private room on the second floor? I want to ask for advice..."
"It's not your turn, Li Langzi, to ask for advice. Miss Bai is the one I like first! If you want to come, you should come to my private room!"
"..."
Amid the arguments and applause, a large number of copper plates and scattered silver were thrown onto the high platform.
Well--
Is this okay?
Lu Wenbin looked depressed and was dumbfounded!
Jiang Chen was also stunned!
He gave two lectures yesterday, and his voice was smoking, but he only earned more than 800 taels of silver. But Bai Wan'er could earn several taels of silver just by playing and singing.
"Isn't this sexism too serious?"
Jiang Chen looked at Bai Wan'er in shock.
Bai Wan'er was so excited that she couldn't help herself. She had always been extremely confident in her beauty and singing voice, but she suffered from the fact that no one would compose music or poems for her. She thought she could only be a vase that others could play with in her life.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen gave her such a big surprise.
What made her even more unexpected was that after stepping down, Shopkeeper Pan took her directly to Xuemei Garden, made her the new owner of Xuemei Garden, and matched her with a mother-in-law and two maids.
This made Bai Wan'er feel as if she was in a dream, and after gathering her excitement, she immediately sent her maid Qing'er to invite Jiang Chen over.
…
When Qing'er found Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen was chatting with Wu Yuquan and others, and learned about the eunuch Yang Jian's personality and preferences.
After receiving the invitation, he followed Qing'er to Xuemei Garden after a little hesitation.
But just when he and Qing'er walked to the entrance of Xuemei Garden, Xie Qiuniang's personal maid Huamei suddenly walked out from the small courtyard next door. After casting a contemptuous glance at Qing'er, she said to Jiang Chen with a condescending expression:
"Mr. Jiang, thank you all for the invitation! Come with me quickly!"
"No time!"
Jiang Chen walked into Xuemei Garden.
Well……
"He...he actually refused to thank everyone?"
Huamei's eyes were full of disbelief, and after stomping her feet angrily, she quickly walked back to her courtyard.
Xie Qiuniang, who was extremely gorgeous, was making tea with an elegant posture. When she saw Huamei walking in a hurry, she frowned displeased and said, "You are so hurried and unbecoming, you will not make Mr. Jiang laugh!"
As she spoke, she looked behind Huamei expectantly.
Seeing this, Huamei snorted angrily: "Girl, don't look at it. Mr. Jiang has gone to Xuemei Garden next door."
"Huh? Didn't I ask you to stop him?"
Xie Qiuniang asked with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"I stopped him and said, girl, invite him over for tea, but he said he wasn't free!"
Huamei said, with an angry look on her face: "It's true, Mr. Jiang, the girl didn't say he wouldn't sing, she just wanted him to write the music score first, but he actually turned around and went to find Bai Wan'er's little hooves.
Who is Bai Wan'er? How can she be compared with a girl..."
"enough!"
Snapped!
Xie Qiuniang threw the tea cup to the ground, stood up angrily and said: "There are so many talented people coming to Beijing to compose music and poems for me, Xie Qiuniang, how can I care about his two melodies by Jiang Chen? Do you really think I am
Is it rare?"
"Girl...it seems that there are not just two songs, but many!"
Huamei said with a depressed look on her face: "I heard from the girls in the courtyard that Mr. Jiang seems to have a lot of new songs, and he even said that he would teach them to sing that Ji you are so beautiful when he has time."
"Many songs?
Ji, you are so beautiful? This song title just suits me!"
Xie Qiuniang lost her composure and suddenly turned her head to look at Xuemei Garden next door.
…
At this time, Bai Wan'er, the new owner of Xuemei Garden, and Jiang Chen were eating apples and happily counting today's profits.
After counting, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Wan'er is really amazing. One song can actually equal my income for ten days. I feel like I've benefited from you today!"
With that said, he directly gave Bai Wan'er four taels of silver.
"I can't do it, I can't do it! Mr. Jiang letting Wan'er sing your song is already a great favor. How can I still share the money with you?"
Bai Wan'er hurriedly refused. She didn't want to share money with Jiang Chen, and she was confident that she would never be short of money again.
"Take it as if I'm a friend!"
Jiang Chen directly put the money into her little hand and said with a smile: "What I share with you is not money, but friendship and the joy of making money together! Do you understand?"
