Chapter 40 The Crazy Autumn Moon Piano

The pace of the first auction of the Starlight Auction Square is getting closer and closer, accompanied by a heavy snow that lasted for nine days and nights. The whole province was shrouded in a variety of goose feather snowflakes, and the ground was piled with thick snow and silver. Trees and simple houses could be seen everywhere being crushed down, and collapsed on the road. Pedestrians are almost cut off.

At night, in small cities like Zhucheng, most of the shops are so light that they can run mice on the ground and are closed early. Except for pubs and brothels, which are still hot, except for local residents, there are few new merchants. This pair of starlight auction houses that want to be popular It is definitely not good news.

Before the heavy snow, relying on the chaotic cartoon complex of the main hall of Huaying, the interior and external decoration project has been fully completed, and the signboard of the Starlight Auction House has also replaced the plaque of the main hall of Huaying. In order to maintain the sense of mystery, although it is inconvenient to open the existing mountain protection array, Ye Qiaoer faithfully followed Xiao Mei's instructions and at the beginning of the preparation for the construction of the starlight auction house. At the beginning, she did not hesitate to buy a floating light array with hidden special effects and arranged them around the complex. Even the craftsmen only knew the part and could not see the whole picture.

The cold morning wind blew from the mountains and forests, waking up the people of the starlight auction house. Early in the morning, Ye Qiaoer, the main person in charge of preparing for the auction, whose beautiful face was as cloudy as snow clouds in the sky, lost several times in a row, making the whole auction house in danger.

Xiao Mei, who should be most anxious, made a snowman in the yard like nothing. He saw Ye Qiaoer come in and threw a snowball. Ye Qiaoer subconsciously flashed, but the snowball turned and hit Li Qingyan's forehead, who was reading in the porch. Immediately, a burst of happy laughter sounded.

"Oh, my God, young lady, you came out in your pajamas. Oh, my God, you still hit barefoot." Ye Qiaoer's scream interrupted the crisp and touching laughter, which made Li Qingyan frown with dissatisfaction.

"Oh, Aunt Qiao, women will grow old quickly if they are nagging." After the activity, Xiao Mei's pretty face blushed, and her white jade-like skin had a charming luster, and the scattered black silk was as soft as satin, which was particularly fresh and pleasant against the snow. Seeing that Ye Qiaoer shook her head helplessly, she smiled and waved her hands mischievously. The newly made snowman flew up and flew towards Ye Qiaoer.

I thought it was the same as the snowball just now, and the target was Li Qingyan. Ye Qiaoer didn't even bother to raise her hand to block it. Even if the snowman hit her directly in front of her, she did not dodge. Unexpectedly, the target of the tricky girl was her this time. The snowman, who was taller than her just embedded her.

The inspiration burst out and the snow powder flew. Ye Qiaoer cried and asked in the snow powder, "Young lady, are you still in the mood to play games now?"

"Why don't you play? Did the sky collapse or the earth sink? Smiling not very seriously, Xiao Mei opened his arms and rotated in place, dancing four unslehemer ballet.

"It's snowing so heavily that there is no one on the road. Who else will participate in the auction? The young lady is not worried, and naturally the maidservant is not worried. Ye Qiaoer said angrily.

"Aren't we human beings? At worst, my father will call on the Li family to come and support him. Just hold a unique masquerade party to entertain yourself. I think this is a good idea. Xiao Mei turned his smart eyes and said to himself, "Take some masks while there is still time. Even if there is no masquerade party, it can be used at the auction.

Li Qingyan interrupted: "There are a batch of masks in the Treasure Pavilion, which seem to be able to isolate spiritual knowledge and can be taken out and used."

"Smart child!" After sweeping, Mao's hands and feet rubbed twice on Zhang Jun's face. Xiao Mei's eyes said with light, "The treasure pavilion and the library pavilion are also useful. The snow is so big that watering it is a ready-made ice sculpture attic, which also saves time to cover it up. It is also troublesome to be seen by people with intentions. One is changed to Starlight Bar, and the other is changed to Starlight Cafe, which seems to be good!"

"Coffeehouse?" Li Qingyan closed the book in his hand and asked with great interest, "Is it the black beans that were turned out from the corner of the library, ground into powder and washed into water, very bitter but mellow coffee? Will anyone drink that thing?"

"It's novel! At that time, each cup of coffee will be sold as a spiritual stone. As soon as she waved her hand to end the topic, Xiao Mei temporarily assigned a lot of tasks to Ye Qiaoer, leaving her time to complain.

When Ye Qiaoer left in a hurry, Li Qingyan asked shyly, "Mae'er, do we really want to sing then?"

Waving his hand, Xiao Mei jumped out and said, "If you feel pressure, don't force it. I'll find another handsome man to sing with me. It doesn't matter."

After chasing after him, Li Qingyan whispered, "Well, then I'll sing well."

"O, Li Tuotou, this is your voluntary, not my coercive." Smiling, Xiao Mei's bright eyes were full of old fox-like cunning.

"Yes, I volunteered." Li Qingyan said that he was still beating drums in his heart when he thought of wearing the swaggered starlight armor and standing on the stage singing the song "Starlight" he had just learned in public.

A string of crisp laughter fell, and Xiao Mei floated out, leaving Li Qingyan to walk slowly on the snow.

On the snow, a light white shadow passed through the elegant low sky. In an instant, she fell on the fork in the road leading to the library and quietly walked to the autumn moon piano standing under a bright red plum blossom.

After the wind passed, the plum blossoms fell, and she looked at the bright red petals dancing with the wind. She smiled quietly, as beautiful as a beautiful picture carefully drawn by a delicate hand. Such a Qiu Yueqin made Xiao Mei's heart ache. Walking behind her, Xiao Mei said in a low voice, "You can continue to install it or choose a new life from now on."

Qiu Yueqin's body trembled. Although she didn't speak, the smile on her face could no longer last.

"I will think I don't know. If you don't want others to know." Sighed, because Xiao Mei himself was not sure what attitude she should take to pretend to be crazy. On the one hand, she was forced to pretend to be crazy to protect herself. On the other hand, Li Qingying was too pitiful, but if Li Qingying knew that her daughter was not crazy, she would definitely be seen abnormal by people. In case the Qiu family knew that she was not crazy and wanted to take her back, It's also a very troublesome thing.

Taking the initiative to grab Xiao Mei's hand, Qiu Yueqin wrote in her palm: Little aunt, I really can't speak.

Looking at it in surprise, Xiao Mei asked pitifully, "Are you scared?" Relax and you will get better gradually."

Shaking her head slightly, Qiu Yueqin wrote again: The wound on her throat is not healed. Don't tell anyone that I'm not crazy, including my mother. My mother's ears are soft and she knows that I'm not crazy. As long as my father is willing to say a few good words to her, she will immediately forget the harm my father gave us.

This precocious and distressing girl made Xiao Mei's heart turn into a ball. She couldn't imagine what kind of hardship this seemingly weak girl had gone through before she thought of pretending to be crazy to protect herself. Compared with Qiu Yueqin, she felt that her little life was really comfortable.

"Then, don't pretend to be crazy in front of me and your uncle. Let's go and play a fun game!" Holding Qiu Yueqin's hand, Xiao Mei dragged her to the library like a gust of wind.

Ye Qiaoer, who acted quickly, has led people to splash water on the library. The surface of the library has formed a thin layer of ice, and the ice light is shining, which makes the whole attic have some ice carved jade.

"The ice is thicker." After the exhortation, Xiao Mei asked Ye Qiaoer to open the door on the first floor of the library with an access token and lead Qiu Yueqin in.

Stepping on the library, Qiu Yueqin restrained the smile she deliberately pretended and looked around curiously.

"You can read the books here as you like." After letting go of Qiu Yueqin's hand, Xiao Mei got into the Dongtou bookshelf, found the bag containing coffee beans, and showed it to Qiu Yueqin like a treasure. She smiled happily and said, "I'll make a cup for you to taste later. I won't forget it after you drink it."

Infected Xiao Mei's happy life, Qiu Yueqin smiled, but the pear vortex was still shallow, but it was much more vivid.

"You have to work! On the day of the auction, you sold coffee here. No problem, right?" Xiao Mei said without giving people a chance to object, "If you don't object, it's an acquiescence. This job is for you. Don't let me down with your uncle!"

Li Qingyan, who just entered the door, asked strangely, "Does she understand when you talk to Yueqin?"

"If the wood understands, she will understand." He handed over and let Li Qingyan stop talking. Xiao Mei asked him to help move most of the bookshelf to the second floor, and the rest was placed along the two walls of the east and west. Then he called Ye Qiaoer in and told her to make a semi-circular ice table and put it on the top and reinforced it with array. The bookshelves on the east and west walls are all watered with ice and reinforced by arrays, and some bird-shaped ice sculptures are staggered between the table and the bookshelf.

Ye Qiaoer called two monks, one ice and the other water. The two worked together and ended their work in a short time. Xiao Mei pulled Li Qingyan to refine the ice sculptures of different shapes, making the ice sculptures of birds and beasts that have only begun to take shape come to life. With the rise, she carved some cartoons on the ice table and had a lot of fun.

Looking at the carefree Xiao Mei, Qiu Yueqin was extremely envious.

"The position in the bar is reserved for you." After saying that, Xiao Mei dragged her to the ice table and recounted it. Then, he patted his forehead again and said angrily, "Oh, by the way, where should I hide the music box?"

Li Qingyan suggested: "Hide it on the ceiling. Anyway, the music box can be looped, so you don't have to worry about it. Let Dad make a fantasy. I don't believe much that I can see."

"Then remember to call Dad." After saying very casually, Xiao Mei admired her masterpiece with a smile.

Qiu Yueqin secretly thought: Qingyan's uncle's father is the young master of the Li family. He looks so majestic, but this little aunt doesn't seem to take it seriously at all, and his uncle also seems to take it for granted. Even if he is still a waste of cultivation, he is not like his own son just because of his poor cultivation talent and a girl, and even his tired mother is disliked by his father!
