Chapter 44

The blind girl was frightened and quickly pushed her: "No, no, benefactor, I can't ask for this money. It's too much. My salary is only twenty coins."

"This is too much money, and..." She hesitated.

Zhou Jian saw her concerns at a glance and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to cause trouble for you. You deserve the money for your hard work."

"The extra money is considered as the medicine fee for them to beat you."

Tears overflowed from the eyes of the blind girl again, as if no one had ever been kind to her, but she still shook her head and said: "No, it can't be done, my benefactor, I only take twenty coins, I don't want more."

Seeing this, Zhou Jian and Ku Ye looked at each other, a little troubled.

But this blind girl was already in such a difficult situation and still refused to accept the extra wealth. She was very courageous. In addition, she had shown that she would rather die than surrender. Zhou Jian admired her and wanted to help.

"Okay then, I'm going to the private room to have a drink, and I want you to play the pipa for me, a song worth twenty verses, is that okay?"

Hearing this, the blind girl was stunned for a moment, then shook her hands, her fingers were beautiful, like green onions.

"My benefactor, I don't play the pipa very well and the guests don't like it. You'd better find someone else..." She said with a very embarrassed face.

Zhou Jian said: "No, that's because they don't know how to appreciate it. The sound of your pipa that I heard just now was so beautiful, like a thundering thunder from the sky, pouring into the world and washing my ears."

"Otherwise I wouldn't save you. The main thing is I want to hear you play the pipa."

The blind girl burst into tears instantly, like Daiyu burying flowers. She knew this was Zhou Jian's kindness.

Seeing her cry, the big guys in the imperial army felt very sad.

"Walk!"

"I'll help you!" Zhou Jian put her hand on his arm, very gentlemanly.

The blind girl was too embarrassed to refuse again, but kept saying: "Benefactor, you saved me today, I will play it for you for free, no money is required!"

Zhou Jian walked very slowly, but the crowds of people on both sides avoided him. If he saw the evil spirit, he smiled and said: "Besides, I am just a playboy. I like to go out and spend money."

Although the blind girl was blind, her heart was bright. Knowing Zhou Jian's kindness, her heart became more grateful and her good feelings doubled.

After Zhou Jian entered the private room, the entire Yihongyuan exploded, everyone talking about what had just happened.

Inside the private room, it was very elegant and quiet.

Zhou Jian helped her sit down, Ku Ye stood on one side, and the imperial guards held the door with their hands, like a guardian angel.

He looked up and down. The private room in Yihongyuan was quite nice. Even the table was carved from agarwood. How rich was it?

"By the way, I haven't asked for the name of my benefactor yet?" the blind girl calmed down a lot, could not sit still, and said while holding her pipa.

"Zhou Jian." He blurted out, a name that few people should know.

The blind girl suddenly understood and read Zhou Jian several times, as if she wanted to remember her benefactor's name in her heart.

"What's your name?" Zhou Jian asked.

The blind girl had big eyes, but no energy, and said: "My name is Yueyao."

"What a good name. The lone shadow under the moon is so graceful and charming." Zhou Jian smiled softly.

Yue Yao's delicate body trembled, and she was slightly unexplainably nervous: "My benefactor is so complimentary. I am a blind man, how can I tarnish these eight words?"

After saying this, a wry smile appeared on her delicate face, as if she was very understanding.

But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Zhou Jian felt. He couldn't help but said: "Why do you show up here to sing? This is Yihongyuan. You are so beautiful, it is easy to meet some bad people."

Yueyao lowered her head slightly, held the corner of her skirt, and sighed: "I am an orphan, and I have younger brothers and sisters, so..."

She seemed unwilling to mention her own affairs. When the food and wine were served, she quickly changed the subject: "My benefactor, I will find an open space to play the pipa. If it doesn't sound good, please don't mind me."

It was rare for Zhou Jian to calm down, and it was still early before nightfall, so he simply poured a glass of wine and said, "Just sit across from me and play."

Yueyao had never sat down before. She was a little embarrassed and nodded: "Okay."
