Chapter 59: Ransom

Song Xinshu looked back at the empty courtyard and found that there was no one, so he quickly closed the door.

Could it be that Zheng Tianyi sent it again?

She opened the envelope, pulled out the letterhead, and read it in the bright moonlight.

The letter was Su Qing's handwriting, Song Xinshu felt that her heart was pulled up all of a sudden, and she read it carefully.

Su Qing said that Song Xinshu should not worry, and said that he would come back to see her when he found an opportunity in some time.

Song Xin's readers and readers, tears fell involuntarily.

Even if she has great ability, she is also a woman, and she occasionally feels sad when she is alone in Jinling City, where she has no relatives and no reason, but with Su Qing's hope, she feels better.

Song Xinshu put the letter on his chest, as if he had seen Su Qing.

After getting this definite reply, Song Xinshu felt a lot more relieved, she believed in Su Qing, he said that he would come back, and he would definitely come back.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Song Xinshu changed into men's clothes and took Zhou Sheng to Qingyuan Tower.

This time, Song Xinshu is bound to win, in such a place, there is nothing that silver can't solve.

Song Xinshu came to the Qingyuan Building, entered the box with a familiar way, raised his hand and called the grandmother, and said: "A pot of sake, a plate of amber walnut kernels, and then, just call the blind girl to sing." ”

Mama glanced at Zhou Sheng strangely, thinking to herself, why did this person only point to blind girls, and the blind girl was not the most favored girl in the Qingyuan Tower?

Although I thought so, I went to call the blind girl to come, and the people who could enter the Qingyuan Building for recreation were all people with heads and faces, and they could make money with money, so they just arranged it.

After a while, the blind girl came in with a pipa, and Zhou Sheng noticed that there was a pale yellow chrysanthemum pinned to her sideburns, which complemented the beige long skirt on her body, looking fresh and elegant, very pleasant.

The blind girl groped and sat down, and began to play the pipa and sing a small tune, Song Xinshu did not interrupt her movements, but listened quietly.

Last time, she listened to a small tune in Qingyuanlou, and she also went to other teahouses, and the tone was a little charming, and she didn't like it very much.

But the blind girl's voice was clear and sounded unusually comfortable, like the feeling of a spring breeze blowing on her body.

It's just that she is blind, so she can't occupy the top position in this Qingyuan Tower, but because she is not famous, this thing is easier to do.

After the song was sung, the blind girl groped her way to the table as usual, wanting to pour wine for the guests.

Seeing this, Zhou Sheng hurriedly took the wine jug in the blind girl's hand and poured a glass of sake for Song Xinshu.

Song Xinshu looked at this scene, and an idea slowly emerged in his heart.

"Girl, do you remember this man?"

Zhou Sheng said loudly: "Liushu, I came with my wife. ”

Lu Shu showed a surprised look and said, "I thought you were just joking, but it turned out to be true......"

The blind girl knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "I don't know what kind of blessing Liushu has cultivated in her life, and she can get the favor of Madame, but I'm afraid that I will live up to Madame's expectations." ”

Song Xinshu hurriedly stood up and held Liushu's arm, helped her up and said: "I take a fancy to you, it must be my own reason, but whether you go to my Northern Jiangsu Tea House or not is for you to decide." ”

Lu Shu hesitated for a moment and said: "Madam, I am just a little singer in the Qingyuan Tower, not enough to worry about, even if I suffer from this, I can't help but know where I go." ”

Song Xinshu held Liushu's hand and said, "These are not problems, as long as you say that you are willing to go with me, I will help you arrange it." ”

Lu Shu is used to obscurity, and suddenly someone wants to leave with him, which is really a little unaccustomed.

"Would you like to go to the Northern Jiangsu Tea House?" Song Xinshu just wanted to know her answer, and asked again.

This time, Ryu nodded firmly.

Song Xinshu was relieved at this time, and asked Zhou Sheng to call Mama.

Mama came in with a smile on her face and said, "What else do you have to tell the two sons?" ”

"I want to ransom Rutsu away." Song Xinshu said straight to the point.

Mama couldn't believe her ears, and someone said that she wanted to spend money to ransom the blind girl, and she glared and said, "I can't call the shots in this matter, I'll call our shopkeeper for your door!" ”

After that, Mama went out, and after a while, a woman with a down fan walked in, and said in a slow voice: "I don't know which family's son, who wants to ransom the people in my Qingyuan Building?" ”

Song Xinshu looked at it, the woman in front of her was wearing delicate makeup, her lips were red, and she looked at her and Zhou Sheng with a pair of beautiful eyes, she felt that she was seductive as a woman, let alone those men.

"My brother has a crush on Liushu, so he wants to redeem her back, you can make a price."

When Zhou Sheng heard Song Xinshu's words, his eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at his boss looking at the woman opposite without changing his face.

Song Xinshu didn't have time to pay attention to Zhou Sheng now, with a woman's keen intuition, she sensed that the opposite side was not a character to mess with.

The woman smiled slightly and said: "Every girl in this Qingyuan Mansion is my hard work, and the cultivation bit by bit is not something that can be measured by money." ”

"I'd rather demolish a temple than break a marriage, you can't beat a mandarin duck, right?"

Song Xinshu was not to be outdone, staring into her eyes.

The woman slowly shook the fan in her hand and said, "Even if a woman wants to enter my Qingyuan Tower, she can come in generously, and she doesn't have to dress up as a man." ”

Hearing this, Song Xinshu and Zhou Sheng froze.

Song Xinshu thought to herself, how did she see that she was a woman dressed as a man?

The woman hooked the corners of her mouth, walked to Song Xinshu's side, and the feathers of the fan gently crossed her earlobes, saying, "You have ear holes." ”

Song Xinshu touched her ears, looked at her with some approval, and said: "Good eyesight, really admirable, I don't think you are an unreasonable person, you make a price, we want to take away the blind girl." ”

Song Xinshu has always vowed not to give up until he reached his goal, pondered for a while and said: "I have something else to give you, although the girl in this Qingyuan Mansion looks like a symbol, but the style of the clothes is indeed a fashionable style in the capital two years earlier, not attractive enough, I have a few sets of good clothes here, to ensure that after the girls here wear them, the business can be doubled." ”

"Oh, and where do your clothes look?" Sure enough, women know women best, and the shopkeeper of Qingyuan Tower suddenly became interested.

Song Xinshu asked someone to bring paper and pencils, and brought the green daisy for thrushes, and drew them on the paper.

She took fashion design as an elective in college, and one semester she specialized in learning the techniques of traditional cheongsam, but she didn't expect to use it here.

She changed the short-sleeved cheongsam to a long-sleeved one, after all, this was in ancient times, and it was better not to show so much.

After the cheongsam was painted, Song Xinshu took the drawings to show the shopkeeper of Qingyuanlou, and introduced the practice and wearing of the cheongsam.

"Such clothes are slim and stylish, you don't look at the wrapping everywhere is very tight, but there will be no bare leaks, if you don't want to be so slim, you can also make it looser, in short, it looks good no matter how you wear it."

Song Xinshu felt like a TV salesman.

The boss of Qingyuanlou moved his eyes from the drawings to Song Xinshu's face, she was not like an ordinary woman An Yang who spoke softly, and from time to time shyly covered her face with a handkerchief, talking and doing things like this seemed to be something that only men would do.

After Song Xinshu introduced the cheongsam, he looked at the shopkeeper of Qingyuanlou with expectant eyes.

"What's the matter, is it worth it for you to ransom me with the blind girl?"

The shopkeeper sat on the chair and said lightly, "Ten taels of silver." ”

"Ten taels of silver can buy five acres of fertile land." Zhou Sheng said with some displeasure, the shopkeeper of this Qingyuan Building is too dark.

"Do you think Ruyu isn't worth the price?"

Song Xinshu thought for a while, and agreed: "Okay, once the deal is made, I want her deed of sale, and I want you to press your handprint." ”

The shopkeeper of Qingyuanlou nodded, asked someone to bring Liushu's deed of sale, and pressed his handprint on it.

This matter was finally done, Song Xinshu breathed a sigh of relief, took Liushu's hand and said, "Come home with me." ”

The shopkeeper of Qingyuan Building sat by the window on the second floor, looking at the back of the three people leaving in a daze, and the grandmother standing on the side said: "A blind girl sold for ten taels of silver, if only there were a few more such fools." ”

The woman looked up at the fading sky and said, "They are not stupid, maybe we will see the blind girl again in a few months." ”

Although ten taels of silver is a month's turnover of Subei Tea House, Song Xinshu spends money willingly, and she secretly looks at Zhou Sheng, who has been silently following Liushu's side, not leaving an inch.

At this time, Liushu still had a feeling of dreaming, she was used to the life of Qingyuanlou, used to playing the pipa and singing, used to some guests doing things to her, and used to the days when there was no hope in the future.

The appearance of Song Xinshu and Zhou Sheng made her feel that it was possible to ask for a comforting life.

Song Xinshu asked the housekeeper to clean up a house in the backyard and come out for the blind girl to live in, and asked someone to give her a basin of bath water, and asked Ah Ya to accompany her to freshen up and change her clothes.

After taking a bath, Ah Jaya combed her with a simple sideburns, and chose a silver hairpin to insert on her sideburns, which was simple but also very good-looking.

"My sister is so beautiful, refreshing and good-looking."

Liushu's face was slightly red, and she said a little shyly: "The girl has won the award." ”

"It's good for my sister to call me Aja, we will live together in the future, and I want to learn pipa from my sister!"

Seeing that Ah Ya was clever and cute, and he was not as restrained as he was just now, he smiled and said, "I will definitely teach you in the future." ”

The two wiped their hair while chatting, and unconsciously chatted until late at night, Ah Ya always had a little respect for Song Xinshu, but Lu Shu and her were about the same age, and they had a lot of common topics.

The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and Ah Ya simply didn't go back to his room to sleep at night, and lay down on Liushu's bed and slept with her all night.
