I heard that you are the illegitimate son of Hades?

I saw the woman named Shuang'er on the stage raised her index finger to pluck the strings lightly, and the lingering sound gradually flowed out from the strings like flowing water, the strings were short and sharp, endless.

"Young master, this is the level to be able to enter our Qiusifang. You are not losing 100 taels of silver, right?" the proprietress Mang Su joked.

"Not bad, not bad," the man lowered his head and carefully savored the light sound of each plucked string, "Miss Shuang'er really has superb piano skills, but it's a pity...it's really overkill to commit myself to this broken band. .” He shook his head, sighing slightly.

"What are you talking about, young master?" Mangsu pushed Ziye behind him, and hearing the presumptuous tone of the man in front of him, he knew that another one was here to provoke trouble.

"We're just girls, and we learned the qin'er tune just to make a living in this prosperous world. Why did you say that?" She bent her eyes and replied very politely.

"Miss Boss, where is my son... I fell in love with this girl Shuang'er, how many dowries would it take for a girl to marry?" He walked forward step by step, passed Mangsu, and stopped in front of Shuang'er.

"Ah?" Shuang'er stopped playing the piano, staring blankly at the man shaking the fan in front of him.

"Don't be joking, my lord. The girls here are all performers but not their bodies. Unless they ask for their own consent, otherwise this marriage... I can't make the decision."

Just relying on your 100 taels of silver and wanting to marry our Shuanger, then your wishful thinking may come to nothing.

Mangsu hooked his lips into a smile.

"Young master, come to our Qiusifang to listen to the music. We definitely welcome you. But you want to marry our Shuang'er for 100 taels..." She rolled her eyes and said in a somewhat joking tone. "To be honest, 100 taels in our Qiusifang may only be able to order one song, and please ask the young master to show your hand and listen to the song."

"Oh?" The man closed the fan, put his thumb on the handle and clapped his hands, and several strong men came in with two large wooden boxes, and with a "kuang—" they fell heavily on the ground.The wooden box was shaken and broke from the joints into rotten wooden strips all over the floor, exposing sections of gold bars outside.

There were two large boxes of gold bars, and all the other people sitting there stared wide-eyed at this man with outstanding skills.

"Madam proprietress, please take a look, is this 400 taels of gold enough to marry your Shuang'er?"

Mangsu is not surprised, after all, he is making a living in this fireworks alley, what big scene has he not seen?She applauded the young master, "Your store can't afford such a handwriting, young master."

"Young Master, please carry it back. If the wooden box is broken, we will be responsible for the compensation. Just treat it as disturbing your interest."

"Then how much do you want?" He bent down and took out a piece of gold bar. After playing with it left and right for a while, he threw it straight towards the stage, almost flying past Shuang'er's face.The gold bar directly smashed through the curtain, revealing a hole.

The surroundings suddenly became silent, and all eyes were on this man.

He has straight hair, sharp edges and corners on the side of his face, a small mole in the corner of his eye, and his slender eyes are curved, looking very evil and unruly.Dressed in a wooden-colored robe with dark patterns, the word Che was written on a white paper fan in a fluttering pattern, and a string of turquoise jade pendants hung around his waist.

Mangsu knows the goods, and its fineness is absolutely extraordinary.

"My lord," she bowed and saluted, "Isn't it a trivial matter to ask for a beautiful woman as a lord? Why do you have to embarrass me here?"

"No and no." He turned his hands and looked left and right at the four walls of the music square, then turned his head to look at Mangsu and said with a smile: "The proprietress is also a smart person who understands the general situation, only seven days."

"Seven days later, I will marry Shuang'er, I hope the proprietress will not stop me."

"Otherwise, you lost Qiusifang in the same way you came here."

He walked out the door slowly, looked back at Shuang'er on the eyestand, and then left with a smile, leaving gold bars all over the floor at the door.

Weird.

"The store is closed, and we won't be picking up customers today. Those who ordered the song, please come back tomorrow, or go to the front desk to get a refund."

Mangsu beckoned, and the clerk stepped forward to put the gold bars into a new box that had just been prepared. After packing, she asked someone to ask which family it was from, and wanted to send the gold back as soon as possible.

"What's your name? Lost alone?" She lowered her hands and put her hands on Ziye's shoulders, rubbing the two buns on her head and asked her with a smile.

Midnight shook his head.

I am not lost.

She pointed to Mangsu's flute, put both hands in the posture of playing the flute, and finally pointed to herself.

You play the flute very well.Can I learn it?

Mangsu was good at observing words and expressions, and probably understood what Ziye meant, so he took out the flute and put it in front of her.

"Do you want to learn?"

Ziye nodded vigorously.

"Then we have to find your parents first." She stood up and asked the guys around her to go outside to find out, if anyone's little girl got lost, hurry up and bring it back.

He came to Firework Lane at such a young age, if he hadn't met Mangsu, if he had met other people, he would have been stunned and brought back to the brothel to raise him.

"Ayu?" She called backstage, but no one said anything.The guy next to him secretly said that Ayu had already run out an hour ago.

"What? You know how to run outside without learning the piano all day!" She yelled, with her arms on her waist.

Ziye tugged at the corner of her clothes, and wrote a word on the ground with her little hands—paper.

"Ah Cai, bring out a piece of paper and a brush and inkstone."

After taking out the things, Ziye spread the paper on the table, picked up the brush and dipped some ink, and wrote slowly.

After writing more than half of the blank paper, Mang Su picked it up and took a look.

This child unexpectedly knows so many characters, and the characters are also beautifully written.

On the paper, she wrote her name and father's name, as well as the location of her home, and explained her desire to learn the flute.

"So your name is Zi Ye, and you want to learn the flute from me?"

She nodded.

"Then have you ever learned a musical instrument before?"

She was about to shake her head, but when Mangsu saw the injury on her hand, she knew it right away.

"A piano learner? Look at the injury to this little hand."

"Have people been laughing at you for not being able to speak?"

She nodded.

Mangsu sighed, "Since you can't speak, learn to play the flute."

"Leave your mouth to play the flute, and people don't care whether you can speak or not. As long as you play well, no one will dare to laugh at you."

"As for the flute, I'm not very good at playing the flute. I'm afraid I'll delay you as a good seed if I teach you. You look like a rich lady, right? Let your father find a good master."

Midnight shook his head fiercely.

No, no, you play much better than my master, your tunes are beautiful.

Mangsu looked at her and rubbed her face.

It's not easy for this child, it's just like this at a young age...

"Sister, are you looking for me?"

A young man poked his head out from the door and looked at Mangsu from a distance.

"Li Fangyu, you are back."

"Sister, I'm just going out for a walk, don't hit me."

"Come here, I won't hit you."

"Oh." He walked over with staggering steps, and was knocked on the head by Mangsu's hook without paying attention.

"Sister, you agreed not to hit me." He quickly covered his head and looked at her angrily.

"I regret it." Mang Su pushed Ziye closer to him, "I know you're free, so I'll give you an errand. Send this child home."

"Sister, where did you abduct this little girl?"

"What are you talking about?" Just as she was about to reach out and knock him on the head, Li Fangyu took a step back and avoided it. "Okay, okay, this child is lost, send it back quickly."
