Chapter 43 Jiaofang Division
The girl trembled when she heard this and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Lin Zhongtian smiled with satisfaction, then picked up the red official uniform on the ground, stretched out his hand, tore it into several pieces of red cloth, tied up the hands and feet of the unconscious fat official, and stuffed the remaining cloth into his mouth. .
After throwing it to the corner, Lin Zhongtian clapped his hands and turned to look at the girl on the brocade couch.
The girl's face was pale, her white and tender body was covered with a brocade quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks, and she was huddled in the corner in fear.
Perhaps because she was too frightened, the girl did not dare to make even a sound. Feeling Lin Zhongtian's gaze, the girl's body trembled, and her little hand holding the brocade quilt couldn't help but pull upward.
"..."
Lin Zhongtian was speechless when he saw this. He glanced at the lavender gauze skirt thrown carelessly beside the brocade couch, picked up the sheathed sword at his waist, walked over and picked up the lavender gauze skirt with the scabbard, and threw it on the brocade couch.
Then, Lin Zhongtian walked to the desk, sat down with his back to the girl, and whispered softly.
"Girl, put your clothes on first."
Perhaps she didn't expect that the other party's first question was to ask her to get dressed. The girl was slightly startled. She raised her head cautiously and glanced at Lin Zhongtian's back quietly. She saw him putting the long sword on the desk and playing with it with his back to her. Holding the incense burner on the desk, he breathed a sigh of relief, carefully stretched out a white and tender arm from the brocade quilt, pulled the lavender gauze skirt on the brocade couch, and suppressed his shame and changed his clothes.
Hearing the rustling sound coming from behind, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh.
The girl in front of him was only twelve or thirteen years old. On the earth in his previous life, she would have been a first-year junior high school student at most. But in this world, she had actually been arranged by the madam of the Jiaofang Division to pick up guests.
That's right, this attic is not the private residence of the fat official, but the famous Jiaofangsi in the capital.
As we all know, the women in Jiaofangsi are all registered official prostitutes, and most of them are the descendants of officials who had their homes confiscated.
Now that the emperor had just overthrown Wei Zhongxian and was purging the members of the eunuch party in the court, the Jiaofang Division also gained a group of new people, who were the wives, daughters, and family members of those members of the eunuch party.
The girl in front of her is still young and a virgin, so she must be one of these people.
After putting on her clothes, the girl boldly got off the brocade couch, lightly opened her red lips and said, "Thank you, sir."
Lin Zhongtian glanced at her, and while playing with the incense burner, he asked casually: "What's your name?"
The girl was startled for a moment and subconsciously said: "My family name is Yang——"
Only halfway through her words, the girl finally came to her senses and quickly changed her words: "My family name is Hanyu. Young master, just call me Hanyu."
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Yang Hanyu?"
The girl's face darkened, she shook her head and said, "My name is Hanyu."
Lin Zhongtian's smile faded and he nodded thoughtfully.
Hanyu is naturally not a serious name, it should be the girl's current stage name.
The surname Yang that she just subconsciously revealed is her real surname.
Lin Zhongtian expressed his understanding for the girl's behavior of temporarily changing her name and not recognizing her surname.
After all, being reduced to a place like Jiaofangsi is really an unbearable scandal for a woman in this era, and it is a scandal that is humiliating to the family. Taking an irrelevant stage name is also to cut off from the past, lest this unbearable experience ruin the surname. humiliated.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian put down the incense burner and asked with a chuckle: "I wonder what Miss Hanyu knows?"
The girl's mood gradually became calmer, and she said softly: "I can play a few songs, and... I can also dance."
"Oh?" Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, hearing that she lacked confidence in the second half of her sentence, so he smiled and said, "Then let's dance!"
"Ah..." The girl was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red quickly, and she said in a voice like a mosquito, "Master, why don't you let me play a song for you? This dance... I have only learned it for a few days. Not a good dance."
"It doesn't matter!"
Lin Zhongtian smiled, grabbed the guqin beside the desk, pressed his left hand on the strings, and said with a chuckle: "I'll play, you dance."
"this……"
The girl's face was red, and her bare hands were hanging in front of her, wringing them in embarrassment.
But Lin Zhongtian didn't care so much. He moved his hands lightly and started playing with concentration.
Ever since Lin Zhongtian's name was put on the list of Xuanjin Pavilion, there have been countless assassins like crucian carp crossing the river.
Some of the killers not only have strong martial arts, but also have other skills and specialties.
Such as calligraphy, painting, playing the piano, flute, playing chess, etc...
Lin Zhongtian absorbed their memories and naturally inherited these specialties.
What he was playing at the moment was the famous song "Goose Falling on the Sand" which has become very popular in recent years.
According to later records, this piece was officially published in the Qin score "Guyin Zhengzong" six years later.
But in fact, this song had already been circulated in the world long before the compilation of "Guyin Zhengzong" was published.
Not to mention anything else, at least the killer piano player who died at the hands of Lin Zhongtian had learned this song "Goose Falling on the Sand", and Lin Zhongtian, who inherited all his piano skills, would naturally be able to play this song.
As Lin Zhongtian plucked the strings with both hands, the melodious sound of the piano suddenly filled the entire room.
The girl's eyes widened and she was stunned for a few seconds, and then she had no choice but to dance.
Looking at the girl whose hands and feet were a little stiff and clumsy, Lin Zhongtian showed a knowing smile while playing the piano.
No wonder this girl is so timid. It turns out that she has only studied for a few days, and now she can't even do anything with her hands and feet...
In sharp contrast to the girl's stiff dance, is Lin Zhongtian's skillful and smooth piano skills.
The melody of "Pingsha Falling Wild Geese" is melodious and smooth, quiet and harmonious. At the beginning, it is mainly gentle, creating a peaceful environment and giving people a sense of lofty and elegant. As the melody develops, the melody begins to become fuller and calmer. From time to time, the music of the piano will be mixed with the sound of wild geese that sound like piercing clouds and cracking rocks, giving people a feeling of tranquility and chaos.
This kind of piano music with movement in the silence is exactly the style that the assassin killer is good at.
When he assassinated Lin Zhongtian, he also hid his murderous intention in the gentle music of the piano. He took advantage of the moment when the audience was in a relaxed mood and their nerves were at their most relaxed to carry out the assassination.
Now, this music fell into Lin Zhongtian's hands, and the murderous intention in the music naturally disappeared.
Instead, there is a sense of leisure and freedom, as if borrowing the ambition of the swan to express the ambition of the wanderer.
The free and easy sound of wild geese singing loudly penetrated the wall and floated to the Nuanxiang Pavilion next door.
In the Nuanxiang Pavilion, a beautiful woman with beautiful appearance and exquisite facial features lay on the brocade couch and listened quietly for a while. Then she sat up, looked at the silent man in the room and laughed softly: "I have only heard about Han before. Sister Yu can play the piano, but I never thought that she is also a master of piano skills, and is actually better than Sister Su who is famous for her piano skills in the capital."
"..."
The man sat at the desk in Nuanxiang Pavilion and asked softly.
"Do you understand?"
"That's natural."
The beautiful woman smiled, then patted the bed beside her, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, seeing that the bags under your eyes are swollen, you must have not had a good rest last night, so why not go to bed and sleep for a while..."
"No." Shen Lian shook his head, "I have to go to the Yamen later, so I don't have much time."
The beautiful woman covered her sleeves and smiled after hearing this. She stood up and walked over, lifted up her skirt and sat on the desk in front of Shen Lian. She looked into his eyes with a pair of autumn-like eyes, and said with a chuckle: "You are the most interesting person. !”
"You are the only one who comes to Nuanxiang Pavilion and spends money not to have sex."
"..."
Shen Lian looked at the woman's smiling face in silence, but in his mind he recalled a face that was very similar to hers.
The name of that face is Zhou Miaoxuan, and she is the blood sister of the beautiful woman in front of her, Zhou Miaotong...
My mother was hospitalized recently and has been accompanying her in the hospital these days, so the update may be late. Sorry.
