When Luo Lan half-sat on the chair and gently plucked the pipa strings with her fingers, a melodious melody magically flowed out from her fingertips.
The men who come to Xiangyue Tower do not come to find women, but to listen to music. This is the most peculiar thing since the construction of Xiangyue Tower, and it also makes the women in Xiangyue Tower very angry.
Everyone leaned against the pillars in the hall, looking at Luo Lan who was playing the piano, and cursed.
"Who is she? Why do these men become obsessed with her?"
"That's right, our Sister Yue'e is the top star of Xiangyue Tower. What can she use to compete with Sister Yue'e?"
"That's right, Sister Yue Moth, you can't just stand by and watch this happen. You and Sister Feng are on good terms, so you have to talk to her about this."
Everyone turned their eyes to Yue Mo. Although she was furious inside, her expression remained calm.
Ever since Xiangyue Tower was built, she has been the mainstay here. Every man who comes here has to look at her face.
But ever since Lan Meng came, the regular customers were too lazy to come see her and just sat there listening to Lan Meng's music.
It's just a song, what's there to listen to?
Those men all coveted Lan Meng's true appearance but couldn't see it, so they were itching to have it.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but she couldn't show it in front of these women, otherwise she would seem to be the same as these vulgar people.
She simply raised the handkerchief in her hand and said in a casual voice:
"Since I have nothing to do, I might as well go back to sleep. You guys just listen here while I go to sleep."
Leaving these words behind, she twisted her graceful body and walked upstairs.
These girls also felt bored and dispersed to solicit customers.
After Lan Meng's song, Sister Hong came to her as usual.
"Miss Lan Meng, Master Ling is here again."
Master Ling?
That man from yesterday who might have been a foreigner?
She couldn't refuse this man. She had to confirm whether he was from Dongyang Country.
Thinking of this, she nodded generously.
"Okay, I'll go change my clothes. Please wait for a moment, Master Ling."
Hearing this, Sister Hong responded quickly.
"Okay, take care, Miss Lan Meng."
Fengjie had already told us not to anger her, and that this chess piece must not be discarded, and we must try our best to let her earn more money for Xiangyue Tower.
Although she bowed and scraped to her with disdain, she still had to give her the okay for the sake of face.
After Luo Lan returned to the room, he instructed Ah Cai:
"When Master Ling comes in, you stay outside and don't let anyone else in. I'll try to keep him for a while and ask him some questions."
Ah Cai looked at her with some worry.
"My Lady, this...will not cause any trouble, right?"
"No, we don't have much time. I need to find out where he is from and what his purpose is in coming to Daning Country."
"good."
After Ah Cai nodded, she helped her take off the bright red earrings and replaced them with a set of emerald red jade earrings. She also helped her choose a light green long dress.
After she changed her clothes, Acai walked out the door.
After a while, Master Ling came into the room, fanning himself with a folding fan. Through the curtains, he clasped his fists and saluted.
"Miss Lan Meng, listening to your song yesterday calmed my mind and I had a good sleep last night. I couldn't help but come again today. It's a bit presumptuous, I hope Miss Lan Meng doesn't mind."
Luo Lan chuckled lightly and said:
"You pay a lot of money to listen to music, and I can make a small profit from it. Why should I mind? I wish you could come every day, but it has to be within your ability. Don't miss your work because of listening to music, and don't let spending money on music ruin the relationship with your family. It's not worth it."
Mr. Ling on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Miss Lan Meng is right. But don't worry, the money I spent was all earned by myself. It won't hurt my family, nor will it affect my life."
"What about your family? For example, your wife, your parents, would they allow you to pay a high price to listen to a piece of music?"
Master Ling was silent for a while, then frowned and shook his head.
"I haven't married yet, my parents live far away, and there's no one to take care of me."
"Oh? Master Ling isn't from Yilan County? Coincidentally, I'm not from Yilan either. May I ask where Master Ling is from? Perhaps we're from the same hometown?"
She was probing his bottom line step by step, and Master Ling didn't seem to have much grudge against her. He replied without hesitation:
"I'm not from Yilan County, I'm... I'm from Dongyang Country."
As soon as he said this, Luo Lan's brows tightened immediately.
She really guessed it right, he was really from Dongyang State.
"Miss Lan Meng? You seem surprised to hear that I'm from Dongyang Country?"
Luo Lan chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm not surprised, I'm just curious. I've heard that people from Dongyang rarely leave their country. What's this, Master Ling?"
Mr. Ling on the opposite side was silent for a while, then spoke,
"What song will Miss Lan Meng play today?"
He seemed reluctant to say more and deliberately interrupted her.
Luo Lan didn't want to ask any further questions. She gently stroked the pipa in her hand, and the melodious sound slowly came out.
This is her favorite pipa piece, called "Autumn Moon Night".
This song is full of poetry, which can calm people's restless hearts.
In this dark night, by the candlelight in the room, listening to this soothing song, Master Ling was a little intoxicated.
After the song, Luo Lan put down the pipa. Master Ling closed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.
