Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Marquis Likes to Listen That’s Good
Jin Hua then took out a bag of silver and placed it on the table. As the bag opened, a dozen round silvers rolled out.
The gazes of the four won were imdiately drawn to it.
Su Yan smiled contentedly, unfolded her fan, and fanned herself gently before asking, “What talents do all of you possess?”
“This servant can play the zither.”
“This servant can sing folk tunes.”
“This servant can dance.”
...
“This servant can do everything.”
The won hurriedly spoke out, afraid that their skills wouldn’t be enough to please this young financier.
“Smack!” Su Yan snapped her fan closed against her hand and laughed,
“Then you all shall perform one by one, and afterwards, these silvers will all be yours.”
“Really!” A woman couldn’t believe her own ears.
Just to play a tune, and she could get so many silvers?
“However, I have one condition. Whoever tells where Liu Sisi’s room is gets the silver.”
……..
Leaving Jin Hua behind to deal with the four won, Su Yan located Liu Sisi’s room using the information she had obtained.
Yihong Pavilion had three floors in total.
And Liu Sisi’s room was the one on the far left of the third floor.
The place was quiet, seldom disturbed by anyone.
Su Yan concealed her presence and approached the door quietly, listening attentively to the sounds from within.
She heard only the ethereal sound of a zither playing, flowing and soothing like running water, imrsing the listeners in its depths.
When the piece ended, Liu Sisi stood up gracefully and saluted Chu Yuxiao, then walked to the bed and knelt at his feet.
She looked up slightly, her eyes brimming, and spoke with a delicate voice, “Marquis, did you enjoy what this servant just played?”
Chu Yuxiao looked down at her beautiful face, reached out to pinch her chin, and caressed it back and forth.
With a wicked smile, he said, “The lody lingers, as if it could resonate around the beams for three days.”
“As long as the Marquis likes to listen, Sisi can play for the Marquis every day.”
Which ant, take in.
If you take , then I can play for you every day.
This was Su Yan’s own interpretation…
“Hasn’t I, the Marquis, co to see you every day for the past three days, listening to you play the zither?” As it turned out, Chu Yuxiao’s interpretation was the sa as Su Yan’s.
