Song of Wood
Chapter 11
This was the safest time for a singer, which was one or two years.
If she didn't become a star or was bought by a good man as soon as possible, Huinnuan Pavilion would auction her virginity when she reached marriageable age.
Time passed quickly, and a beauty's heart changed easily.
Would Mu Ji still have such a sweet smile after one or two years?
"Does the honored guest like Mu Ji?"
"Yes."
"As a new singer, she has a lot of potential. I'm afraid that she will become a star in less than two years.
It will be difficult for Gongzi to get her.
Huinnuan Pavilion will not let her go. "
Li Xunhuan put down his wine glass and looked at the Courtesan in surprise.
In his impression, Li Xunhuan had never seen or heard of a Courtesan promoting her juniors to a patron. He didn't say anything and went back to his original table to sit down.
At this time, Mu Ji came in with a pipa in her arms.
The Courtesan tuned the pipa and casually played a tune that Li Xunhuan had never heard before.
Li Xunhuan heard the Courtesan whisper to Mu Ji, "Xiao Mu, you can sing anything." The voice was very soft. If Li Xunhuan wasn't a martial arts practitioner, he wouldn't have been able to hear this whisper.
Mu Ji seemed to be very surprised and stunned for a while.
"When will the moon be bright? With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the clear sky …"
He really didn't expect that a soft and weak singer would choose the bold and unconstrained Su Ci instead of singing the main theme.
Su Ci was generally suitable for Guanxi men. When it was sung by Mu Ji, it had a different flavor.
Li Xunhuan heard that if a brothel wanted to recommend a singer to a customer and wanted the customer to buy her, they had to show the singer's talent to the customer.
Then, was the Courtesan "promoting" Mu Ji to him?
Li Xunhuan knew that the Courtesan was hinting at him to buy Mu Ji as soon as possible.
Using Mu Ji as a shield was naturally a good idea. After saving a pitiful woman in a heated bed, Big Brother Long and Lin Shiyin would be able to peacefully get married … However, even though he had made the decision, he was still unwilling.
Li Xunhuan opened the lid of the wine jar. There seemed to be her fragrance on the string, which was completely different from Shi Yin's.
One could tell a woman by smell. Different women exuded different scents.
The Courtesan exuded the fragrance of gardenia, while Lin Shih-yin had the fragrance of wintersweet.
But she only had the ordinary scent of osmanthus, which was very rare.
Usually, singers liked to use strong perfume to attract customers.
There were very few people like Muji, who had a faint and indistinct scent.
Drinking wine and listening to music, it was unknown whether it was the wine or the music that was intoxicating.
After listening to the song, Li Xunhuan accidentally dropped the cup.
The Courtesan explained to Mu Ji in a low voice, "Some patrons have this kind of reaction when they come back after drinking. You'll get used to it.
Go to the wine cellar and get some Green Bamboo Leaf. "
At dusk, when the lanterns were lit, Li Xunhuan was already drunk on the table.
It was getting dark.
Mu Ji didn't plan to continue singing, and the Courtesan had already stopped.
Li Xunhuan heard the Courtesan say in a very low voice, "I'm going to pee. You accompany the guest." Li Xunhuan pretended not to hear. This was the Courtesan giving Li Xunhuan a chance to be alone with Mu Ji.
Li Xunhuan was not very clear-headed at this time.
But he had to continue drinking to forget that Lin Shih-yin and Long Xiaoyun were together.
"Give me another jar of Green Bamboo Leaf."
Green Bamboo Leaf was wine, but also a poisonous snake, which hurt Li Xunhuan's heart.
He pointed to the wine glass and motioned to Mu Ji to fill it.
However, as soon as Mu Ji approached, Li Xunhuan couldn't control his body's reaction.
Li Xunhuan crossed his legs.
However, his body was really out of control. The hand that was about to take the wine glass grabbed Mu Ji's wrist and didn't want to let go.
He wanted to hug her.
Mu Ji reacted like a good girl who was molested — she punched him.
Naturally, Li Xunhuan hit her.
Naturally, Li Xunhuan lay on the bed with her in his arms. Before he could do anything, he fell asleep.
When he woke up, Mu Ji was still asleep.
Li Xunhuan, who was sober, disdained to do anything to a child, let alone a sleeping child.
Li Xunhuan returned to Li Garden. Brother Long asked, "You didn't come back all night. Which good wine did you find?"
