Suddenly, a bucket of cold water suddenly poured on Mingzhu's head, waking her up suddenly. Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then she got up in fear. She looked around with wide eyes.
Standing in front of her was a middle-aged woman with a pony face full of acrimony, sharp and long eyes, high and thin cheekbones, and eyebrows as thin as rat whiskers. Standing next to her Two powerful thugs, one of whom had his hands on his chest, his arms so thick that they were almost thicker than her thighs, and the other who was holding a wooden bucket that was still dripping with water, sneered at her.
When Mingzhu saw them, she immediately shrank subconsciously. As soon as she stepped back, she felt she touched something. The thing she touched behind her trembled. She was frightened and turned around immediately, only to see someone similar to her. There were actually more than a dozen girls here, and they were all huddled in a ball, shivering, not daring to raise their eyes.
Mingzhu had experienced a similar scene when her parents sold her for the first time.
Mingzhu immediately lowered her head, and she shrank aside obediently, because she knew that confrontation at this time would never end well.
The sharp-looking woman in front of her said in a shrill voice: "My surname is Hong. You can call me Mother Hong. From today on, I will be your mother! Now that you are here, don't think too much about it. , then let it go. Mom, I will teach you how to make money in the future!"
One of the girls, about fifteen or sixteen years old, suddenly burst into tears: "I want to go home, I don't want to be here, I want to see my parents!"
Mother Hong glanced at her and pouted at the thug with arms folded over her chest. The thug grabbed the girl's hair like a chicken and carried her out. Her shrill screams gradually faded away. , the other girls were even more trembling and did not dare to speak.
Mother Hong continued: "Mom knows that you are all hard-working children. It is not easy to survive in this sacred city, but the opportunity is right in front of you! Follow mom and study hard, and mom will not treat you badly."
Mingzhu boldly asked in a low voice: "I wonder what Mother Hong wants us to learn?"
Mother Hong chuckled and said, "Of course you need to learn how to serve a man!"
Some of the other girls could no longer bear it and began to sob secretly. Mingzhu composed herself and said: "Mother Hong, my daughter knows a little about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing, playing and singing. I wonder if she can fall under the eyes of Mother Hong? "
Mother Hong was stunned, raised her eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Oh? I didn't notice it! Have you learned it before?"
Mingzhu looked obedient and obedient, and nodded: "I studied in the government school before..."
Mother Hong asked curiously: "Which mansion is it in?"
Mingzhu shook her head and said nothing.
Mother Hong didn't force herself and said, "If you don't want to say it, Mom won't force it." Then, she said to the other girls, "As long as you are obedient, you will find that Mom, I am a very good person to talk to."
As she spoke, she said to Hong's mother in a friendly manner: "Come, come with me."
Mother Hong took Mingzhu and left the dark room. As soon as she went out, the mild winter sunshine was outside. The cold wind chilled Mingzhu. She subconsciously hugged her arms and chest tightly, shivering a little. If it weren't for the outside The sun was so warm that she suddenly fell ill.
Mother Hong noticed her appearance, and immediately took off the coat and cloak of a thug who was following behind her, and put it on Mingzhu. She smiled and said: "Daughter, if you can pass the test, mother will not treat you badly, but If mom finds out... you dare to deceive me, huh, don't blame mom for taking care of her!"
Mingzhu lowered her head and said timidly: "No matter how courageous my daughter is, she would not dare to deceive her mother..."
Mother Hong nodded and said with a smile: "Mom, I can tell with my eyes that you must be a maid who lived here after a wealthy family fell down."
Mingzhu said in a low voice: "My daughter's appearance is not in my mother's eyes. I hope my mother will not dislike her."
Mother Hong nodded with satisfaction and said, "This will save me and my mother a lot of trouble."
She continued walking forward with Mingzhu, and came to a piano room in a red building and Zhuge. She looked at several girls who were playing instruments in the room, clapped her hands to signal them to stop, and then said to Mingzhu Said: "Which one do you know?"
Mingzhu raised her eyes slightly and whispered: "Proficient in everything." At this time, she knew that she could no longer hide her clumsiness. The more valuable she showed, the safer she would be.
Mother Hong obviously didn't believe it. Even the most popular courtesans in the capital didn't dare to say this. How dare you, a little maid, brag like this
Mother Hong sneered, and her good impression of Mingzhu dropped. The girls in the room also looked at Mingzhu with unkind eyes. Some of them had been learning musical instruments for several years, some even ten years, and they didn't dare to say anything. Proficiency in an instrument means mastery. There are no less than seven or eight kinds of instruments here. Not only are the playing methods different, but some music theories are even different. How old is she to dare to say that she is proficient in them all
Mother Hong said: "Then you try that..." She pointed at a girl playing the pipa next to her. The girl reluctantly handed her pipa to Mingzhu. She said displeased: "Don't break it." Already…”
Mingzhu smiled slightly, took it, and plucked it with her five fingers. She immediately noticed that the sound of the zither string was slightly off, so she adjusted it. This time, the girl next to her immediately blushed.
I played for a long time, but the sound was not right at all. The other party had to adjust it!
Mingzhu held the pipa to calm down, then she flicked her five fingers, and the pipa immediately made a clanging sound. What she was playing was the classic piece "Qianduixue" from Qianshanxue's masterpiece "War in Nine Prisons", which tells the story of It is the story of the allied forces composed of the Zhan family, Da Qi Imperial Army and cultivators storming the Nine Hells but being ambushed by the monster army of the Nine Nether Pluto King. In the end, the five thousand elites of the Zhan family were cut off at Sleepyhead Lake and all died heroically.
The song started with extremely fast strumming and plucking. Mother Hong and the girls in the room were dumbfounded as they watched Mingzhu's hands turn into afterimages. The dense piano sounds were like piercing clouds and cracking the sun, clanging and ringing. The murderous aura rose from the sky, and the room was full!
At this moment, everyone almost seemed to have witnessed that tragic battle. The overwhelming monsters rushed towards the Zhan family's children like a flood. The Zhan family's children fought desperately, and finally the lake behind them was dyed red with blood!
Mingzhu began to study music after being sold to Qian Shanxue's family. If she wants to survive safely under Qian Shanxue's hands, she must have extremely good skills, otherwise her life will be in danger. Therefore, no one dares to practice hard and then In addition, Mingzhu is indeed a rare talent. She is indeed proficient in other musical instruments, but in the pipa, she has reached the master level, otherwise she would not have received the respect of Qian Shanxue, who has a very high self-esteem.
As the saying goes, an expert will know if something is there as soon as he makes a move!
The girls here all know music and musical instruments. Even Madam Hong, the madam, learned musical instruments when she was young. They naturally know what they are doing!
Moreover, even if you are ignorant, you can tell how powerful this person is just by listening to this majestic music, the murderous music that penetrates people's hearts, and makes people's hair stand on end!
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded by Mingzhu's playing. They originally thought he was a boastful bronze, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a hidden king!
Pipa, as you can see from the text, Pipa player is one of the four kings and the king of musical instruments!
Its extremely powerful appeal and music penetration not only made the people in the room dumbfounded, but also the turtle man, the boy, the thug, the maid, and the sister outside the house stood quietly in place, with everyone's eyes on it. They all looked in one direction, some of them stayed where they were, and some of them dropped the water basins in their hands to the ground.
Mingzhu gathered all her sadness, anger, grievance and unwillingness into energy and merged it into Pipa, and her full and passionate emotions burst out!
This strong and tragic music stunned everyone, and also shocked Poppy and Chu Chu who came here as guest guests.
Until the music suddenly stopped, the surroundings fell into a dead silence. Everyone held their breath and concentrated, completely unable to break away from the tense and exciting state just now, as if the sounds of killing and fighting were still shouting and echoing in their ears!
Chu Chu's face was filled with shock, and she lost her voice and said: "Miss, were the Gongsuns playing just now?!"
Poppy also had a look of shock and excitement on her face. She was two courtyards apart from where she was, but she could still clearly hear the sound of the pipa that penetrated the clouds and cracked stones. She shook her head and said, "No, Gongsun and everyone are not like this!"
Gongsun Han, one of the eight leading pipa players in Shenjing, is the best pipa player in Shenjing!
Poppy immediately hurried away in the direction where the sound came from. She said happily: "I didn't expect that I would meet such a Pipa master here today! I'm so lucky! I'm so lucky!!"
