Chapter 17 For Survival
Xia Mengyu's figure gradually drifted away, and the dull tutor Luo and a group of stunned students were still standing at the gate of Lingwu College. Lan Mengfeng's eyes were light, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Tutor Luo's face became gloomy. "Well, how much can a blind man do?"
Half a month later, in a simple and remote house, Xia sat at the head of the simple but clean bed, and gently put her hands on the Li Shangqin. Her gray pupils were dull. She sighed and muttered, "Why hasn't Meng Yu come back yet?"
As soon as the "squeak" voice fell, a beautiful shadow had already pushed the door open and entered the room, with a happy smile on her pure little face, "Brother Xia, do you miss me?"
"Ef?" Jiang Xia was stunned and scolded with a smile, "Bad girl, when did you come back? Why didn't I hear your footsteps?"
"Hee hee." Meng Yu mischieously spit out his tongue, then went to sit next to him next to him, and put aside a little fruit that he had just gone out to buy. "When I came, I heard you playing the piano, so I was listening outside!"
"So that's it!" Xia nodded gently. When he played the piano, his mind was concentrated together, and his feelings for the outside were relatively small. "Meng Yu, we have been in Yanjing for half a month, and there are not many gold coins left. It seems that we are really going back."
Looking at Jiang Xia's gloomy face, Meng Yu frowned, and a trace of heartache flashed in his heart, "Brother Jiangxia, let's stay in Yanjing!" I know you don't want to go back."
"What if you don't want to go back? Lingwu College doesn't accept it. You and I can't even do self-reliance.
"It's okay." Meng Yu put his little face on Jianxia's shoulder and said softly, "Brother Jianxia, when I went to buy fruit, I happened to see a restaurant recruiting people. I have already signed up. Where can I work in the future, so that we won't starve to death."
He shook Xia's body and frowned tightly, "What are you talking about? Who asked you to make money?
Meng Yu was shocked by the appearance of General Xia and quickly comforted the other party, "Brother General Xia, don't worry. I'm just going there to help for the time being. I know you're angry. I don't want to go back to the village like this. I'll feed you."
"Nonsense." Jiang Xia's outline is a little fierce and gloomy. "Meng Yu, you are my daughter-in-law who has not passed the door of Xia. Why do you need me to support me as a big man? Humph."
After saying that, Xia got up and got out of bed and went to the door to leave the room.
"Brother Xia." Meng Yu's bright little face was full of grievances. He obviously felt sorry for the other party and didn't want to see him unhappy, but he didn't expect that Xia would be so angry, and his bright big eyes and tears swayed around.
===.
Jing Xia strolled on the street, the crowds who came and saw that the other party's gray eyes were all surprised, some were contempt, some were disgusted, and some were sympathy.
Jiangxia walks very slowly. Yanjing not only has many people, but also has a large place. Even after half a month, he only roughly remembers a few directions.
After a while, Xia stopped. In front of him was a three-storey attic with a golden signboard hanging on the first floor of the attic, "Tingqinxuan". Jiang Xia sighed deeply and muttered, "Meng Yu, I will definitely feed you." Then he stepped forward and carefully stepped into the attic.
"Hey, young master, are you here to listen to the piano or someone?" A slender middle-aged man in a robe came forward to stop Changxia.
Jiang Xia hugged her fist politely and said, "Brother, I heard from others before that you are recruiting a pianist here, right?"
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows and stared at Jianxia's eyes with great interest. "Are you a pianist?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Xia nodded.
"Ha ha." The man laughed with a trace of contempt, "Little brother, what we want here are all second-order pianists. I don't think it's convenient for your eyes, right?"
"It doesn't matter. Is it true or not? What if the eldest brother asks me to play a song for you?"
Looking at the confident appearance of General Xia, the man really believed a little, "Okay, that's it! Now there is another guest on the third floor. If you can play to make her satisfied, I will decide to have you. If she is not satisfied, you can't blame me.
Jian Xia nodded, "I promise."
"Ha ha, the little brother is not a little bold. Come with me." A middle-aged man led the way to Jianxia.
After a while, under the leadership of the other party, Xia came to the third floor. The small rooms covered with curtains were surrounded by a small platform. The small platform was about the same height as the usual low table, and there was a white quinlele on the platform.
Jingxia feels the surrounding environment, and there is almost no noise. She doesn't even know where the so-called guest is?
"Little brother, you sit down first. After I say hello to the guests first, you start."
"Hmm! Thank you for your hard work, brother." Jiang Xia didn't expect that she would come, and she was not even ready.
The middle-aged man walked to an elegant private room and said respectfully and softly, "Miss, this is the new pianist today. Do you want to listen to his play?"
"Yes." The cold and plain tone came from the left. Just listening to the sound, General Xia felt that the other party must be a cold woman.
"Yes, miss."
The middle-aged man bowed politely and retreated, and then walked to Jinxia and whispered, "Miss, you have promised. You have to behave well."
"Hmm!" Xia nodded and exhaled deeply. His slender hands were flat on the strings, his fingers were gently plucked, and the soft tone began, and the smooth music poured out from his fingertips.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but brighten his eyes and show a trace of joy. The woman in the private room was also shocked and began to appreciate the music played by Xia.
Ten fingers flowed, closing Xia's eyes tightly. The wonderful movement contained his yearning for the outside world in the village. When he finally came to Yanjing, he was blocked from the college, and the pressure turned into syllable characters.
Hope, unwillingness, resentment, the change in the teenager's heart, the middle-aged man's heart was a little depressed, infected by the voice of Xia Qin, and his face was a little angry.
Just when the teenager was about to be frustrated, his beloved always wanted to support him. He thought of Meng Yu. She was really good for herself. The sound of the piano contained regret, pity, and regret for his attitude towards Meng Yu before going out.
Xia turned the experience of this half month into the sound of the piano. At the end of the song, she was eager to return to Meng Yu's side quickly.
"What a song "Sighing". There was a sound of admiration and soft applause from the curtain in the private room.
The middle-aged man's eyes surged with joy, bowed down and hugged his fist and said, "Miss, this pianist is indeed playing the "sighing" made by Master Fog. I don't know if you are satisfied?"
"Reward him with a hundred gold coins!"
"Yes, miss." The man quickly thanked him, and then ordered General Xia to say, "Little brother, come downstairs with me!"
Xia nodded and punched on the left side, "Thank you, Miss."
After the two went downstairs, the curtain of the private room slowly pulled up, and a beautiful woman in a long blue dress and cold temperament sat on the comfortable wide chair.
===.
"Come on, little brother, you really impressed me. I apologize for your previous attitude." The middle-aged man took a hundred gold coins from the counter and handed them to Xia, and the smile on his face was in sharp contrast to the beginning.
Jingxia doesn't think it's a big deal about this. People are all realistic. "Well, thank you, big brother."
"Hehe, little brother, you can come and listen to Qinxuan at any time in the future. I'll arrange the best time for you."
Xia Yu took a look at the heavy gold coins in his hand, and then smiled and said, "Thank you for your beauty, but there is any inconvenience in your lower body. If you come once every ten days? Do you think it's appropriate?
"Ten days?" The man frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then nodded, "Oy, no problem."
Xia agreed gratefully, and then said goodbye to the other party. He wanted to go back immediately and tell Meng Yu about this. Just playing a song can get a hundred gold coins. Xia sighs a lot. Rich people can spend it at will. It is also clear that this kind of good thing does not happen every day, but anyway, at least I won't let Meng Yu go to the restaurant to suffer.
When he saw Xia go out of the door, the man shook his head and nodded again, muttered softly, "This is the first time Miss Lan Meng is satisfied!"
===.
Jing Xia Zhen rushed home in a hurry. Meng Yu was also waiting anxiously at the door. Her big pure and flawless eyes were full of anxiety. "Brother Xia, where are you going?"
A moment has passed, and half an hour has passed. Before the figure of General Xia has appeared, Meng Yu's tears will come out. If he hadn't been worried that he would not find himself when he came back, he would have gone out to look for him.
Suddenly, Mengyu felt that someone was approaching behind him, and he suddenly became happy. He turned around and said, "Brother Xia,"
Before he finished speaking, the joy on Meng Yu's face had turned into doubt. In front of him was not a young man with elegant and gentleness.
"Hello, Miss!" The man smiled modestly.
Meng Yu frowned and became alert in his heart, "Who are you? I don't know you."
The man raised his handsome eyebrows and looked polite. "Miss, my name is Lan Guang. I heard that Miss would go to Lingwu College, but I looked around the whole college and didn't see Miss. I'm really happy to finally see you today."
As soon as she heard the word "Lingwu College", Meng Yu's face was even more unhappy, and she said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I don't know you. I'm still waiting for someone!"
"Oh? Is that so? I don't know if the lady is waiting for the man with inconvenient eyes with you?
"How do you know? Have you seen him?" Meng Yu asked anxiously.
"I didn't see it." Lan Guang was stunned, and a trace of jealousy gushed out of his heart. He scolded secretly: Humph, what's good about a blind man?
Meng Yu was extremely lost and sighed helplessly, "Oh."
" By the way, do you dare to ask Miss Fang's name?" Lan Guang continued to put on a charming smile.
A trace of impatience flashed in Meng Yu's eyes, waiting for her to say, "Daughter-in-law." The familiar male voice came, and a gray-white teenager was looking at this side with a smile.
"Brother Xia." Meng Yu hurriedly pounced on the figure he was thinking about, and then hugged him tightly, "Brother Xia, I thought you were angry and ignored me."
"Silly girl." Jiang Xia gently pinched the other party's face, "Such a clever daughter-in-law, how can I be reluctant to?" Then Xia turned his "eyes" to the gloomy Lan Guang and said with a faint smile, "Who is this young master?"
Lan Guang's eyes were cold, and he forcibly suppressed the jealousy in his heart, "I'm just passing by."
"Oh?" Xia Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Since we are passing by, let's leave first!" After saying that, he took Meng Yu's little hand and left for his residence.
From the moment when Xia appeared, Meng Yu did not look at Lan Guang from beginning to end. The latter clenched his fists and gritted his teeth resentfully, "Bad boy, dare to bad my good deeds. Let's see if you have a good life in the future?"
