Downstairs from Tianxiang, inside Qingyi Pavilion.

Gu Qingyi sat by the window with her pipa in her arms.

Her expression was tired, and there seemed to be a touch of worry in the depths of her eyes, like the waves of autumn water.

She heard footsteps in her ears, but she didn't pay attention to it. It wasn't until that handsome and tall figure walked past the window and it was reflected in her mind for a long time that she suddenly realized it.

Almost shocked, she stood up quickly and almost dropped the pipa in her hand.

Putting the pipa aside, she took a deep breath and looked up again, her face already pale.

She stood in the house, looking at Jia Lian who came in with his maid, and said softly: "I'm here to meet you, Lord Marquis."

"Yes."< br />
Jia Lian nodded casually to the beauty, walked to the room and sat down, then looked at Gu Qingyi and asked: "What were you thinking about when you were sitting there alone just now?"

"When I returned to the Marquis, I didn't think anything of it. I was a little tired after trying out the pipa just now, so I just took a short rest."

Gu Qingyi's voice was cold and faint, and her head was lowered. He didn't look at Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian saw this, how could he not know that most beauties had resentment in their hearts.

Yesterday afternoon, he was about to visit the beautiful lady, but Jia Mu sent someone to call him away. He did not expect that Sister Feng would come up with unexpected tricks to manipulate him, so before leaving, he left a message asking the beauty to wait for him at night.

Perhaps this sentence caused the beauty to look like this moment.

But seeing the stunning beauty in front of me, her face was lazily applied with powder and her black hair was half-groomed, which made her flawless face look even more elegant and pure.

Although Gu Damei has always looked mature and reserved, considering her age, she would look like she was just about to go to college in future generations.

A little girl at this age should be willful, innocent and longing.

If she always remained indifferent to external things, then Jia Lian would have to wonder if she had other thoughts in her heart.

Therefore, Jia Lian did not take the beauty's attitude seriously and just waved to her to come closer.

“Are you angry with me?”

“I don’t dare.”

Seeing that the great beauty’s words are respectful, but they are not Looking at him with straight eyes, Jia Lian smiled slightly, suddenly took the beauty's bare hand, pulled her to sit on his lap, raised his hand to lift the beauty's delicate chin, and said with a smile:

"It's not my intention. I missed the appointment because I was delayed by something temporarily, so I forgot about it.

Today I suddenly remembered that I felt guilty and came here to apologize. I wonder if Qing Yi could forgive me? ”

At the door of the room, Qin Keqing, who has always maintained a high degree of fragrance, stood with her hands down and behaved since she entered.

In the past year, she has often been with Gu Qingyi studied music and dance. Although her teacher was mainly Shen Pan'er who was good at dancing, she was also familiar with Gu Qingyi, so she didn't dare to neglect her in front of him.

Regarding Jia Lian's teasing She didn't care at all about Gu Qingyi's behavior, but listened to Jia Lian's words.

When she heard that Jia Lian and Gu Qingyi had an appointment last night, Qin Keqing couldn't help but blink her eyes.
>
As the geishas raised by Jia Lian at home, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gu Qingyi and others are Jia Lian’s domestic prostitutes. But she knew that Jia Lian had never included Gu Qingyi’s four girls in his household.

In this case, Jia Lian probably had the intention to eat the beautiful lady Gu last night? After all, there is probably no other reason why the young and strong Marquis had an evening date with the stunning domestic prostitute.< br />
But Jia Lian finally forgot about this matter because of her?

Thinking about it, Qin Keqing couldn’t help but smile, full of happiness and pride.

You must know that Gu Qingyi even praised the color of the imperial concubine, and was called the most beautiful woman they have ever seen by Youshi and other powerful women in the Jia family.

Being able to suppress such a woman It was naturally something that made her extremely happy.

On the other side, Gu Qingyi was forced to sit on Jia Lian's lap. Although she was a little embarrassed and shy, she did not resist.

Her fate had already been decided when the proprietor decided to give her to Jia Lian. Being able to stay in the Duke's palace for a year without being bullied or humiliated is a courtesy from Jia Lian.< br />
With Jia Lian’s talent, reputation, character, and appearance, committing to him is definitely not an injustice to her!

She has long been prepared.
< br />Originally, she thought that last night would be the end of her career as a girl.

So after Jia Lian left, even though she was shy and nervous, she still bathed and changed clothes, decorated herself carefully, and stayed in the attic. Waiting for Jia Lian's arrival.

As a result, I waited until late at night, and the moon set in the west, but I never saw Jia Lian.

In the end, I could only be disappointed and suspicious. In the middle of the night, she lay down on the bed with her clothes on, and could not sleep until dawn.

In this way, it is not surprising that she would show a bit of indifference after seeing Jia Lian again.
< br />But this indifference can only be felt when sitting in Jia Lian’s lap and listening to Jia Lian’s tune.After explaining with a smile, he disappeared without a trace.

Even though she had secretly observed and analyzed Jia Lian's behavior and determined that he was a man worthy of being entrusted with her life, she was still surprised and moved by Jia Lian's behavior.

After waiting for no results last night, she also thought that Jia Lian's last words might have been just mentioned casually and she didn't take it to heart.

But for her, even if Jia Lian just said it casually, she had to be extremely prepared. After all, if Jia Lian really comes as promised, that will be the most important time for her.

Of course, she was still disappointed when Jia Lian didn't come in the end.

She could guess the reason why Jia Lian didn't come, or it was because, as he said at this time, there was really something important and he couldn't come. Or he didn't pay much attention to her at all, so naturally he wouldn't care about the agreement with her and just forgot about it.

Now Jia Lian is here, and judging from his appearance, he came here specifically to explain why he missed the appointment last night.

This shows that he is really delayed by something, rather than not taking her Gu Qingyi to heart.

Because with his dignity as a prince, if he doesn’t care, if he breaks the promise, he will break the promise. Why should he explain to anyone?

What she didn’t expect was that not only was Jia Lian willing to make a special trip for a trivial matter to him, but he was also willing to condescend and beg her forgiveness with a smile?

At this moment, Gu Qingyi felt respected and cared about.

Although she had been sought after by thousands of people, since joining Jiamen, she understood that she, Shen Pan'er and others were Jia Lian's private property.

How many people can have the patience to take care of each other’s feelings regarding private property?

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qingyi mustered up the courage to lean into Jia Lian's chest, avoiding Jia Lian's teasing of her, and said quietly: "Master Hou has many things to do every day, and such trivial things are just It’s okay if you forget, and there’s no need to explain it to Qing Yi.

Qing Yi just dared to ask the Marquis..."

While speaking, Gu Qingyi raised his head and glanced at Jia Lian. After making sure that Jia Lian was listening, she asked: "I wonder what the Marquis thinks of the four of us?"

Hearing the solemnity of the beauty's voice, Jia Lian also lowered his head. Looking at her, he smiled for a while and asked: "I don't know what the girl in Qingyi wants to be regarded by me?"

Gu Qingyi's cheeks glowed slightly and she avoided looking at Jia Lian.

"If the Marquis regards us as his concubines, it has been a year since we entered the palace. Not only do we have no status, but the Marquis has not taken any of the four of us as concubines. Anyone.

If you think that we are just regarded as geishas, ​​specializing in teaching actors and providing entertainment in the mansion, please make it clear so that we can know it and avoid any unnecessary thoughts again. "

Gu Qingyi said willfully.

...

Downstairs of Tianxiang Tower, when he heard the news of Jia Lian's arrival, someone wanted to come over. He paid his respects, but was stopped by Shen Pan'er.

"Sister Pan'er, didn't you say that Mr. Hou is here, where is he? ”

Faced with the little sister’s inquiry, Shen Pan’er gestured to the attic where Gu Qingyi lived, and then pulled her to her side without waiting for the little sister to ask again. , smiled and said: "Since we entered the capital, we have rarely seen the Marquis once.

Coincidentally, the Marquis came to look for Sister Qingyi yesterday, and today he made a special trip to look for her. It seems that Sister Qingyi must be ahead of us and get the favor of the Marquis first.

If you go over at this time, if you ruin your sister Qingyi’s good deeds, look back and see how she deals with you. "

Wei Shishi, the youngest, realized something when she heard Shen Pan'er's teasing. She turned back to look at Sister Qiyun who was also laughing at her, her face was slightly red, and she said softly: " Then, I'll go back to the house first..."

"Go, if the Marquis summons you, I will have someone call you. "

"Okay, thank you, Sister Pan'er. ”

Seeing the little sister leaving with her maid, Shen Paner and Wan Qiyun looked at each other, the smiles in their eyes disappeared, and they both showed solemnity and expectation.

No one knows that these four oiran ladies, who originally came from all over the Yangtze River and came together for the same reason, have already reached a consensus on some matters related to their own vital interests.
/>
They all know that if Gu Qingyi can successfully gain favor, it will change the increasingly embarrassing status and status of the four of them in the mansion.

In Qingyi Pavilion.

Jia Lian looked at the beauty in his arms with a smile.

Gu Qingyi’s words seemed to be arbitrary, but in fact they meant a showdown with him.

Obviously, this will Four stunning beauties have been left in the house for a year. They are a little out of control and want to test their status with him.

In other words, they want a status and a future.

Thinking about it, Jia Lian didn’t think it was excessive at all that they had this need, and it was even within his expectation.

He put his hand around the beauty’s slender waist on Caressing the beauty's side buttocks, he pushed the beauty's head out of his arms, looked at her and smiled: "Concubine? geisha? What's the difference between the two?Same? ”

Gu Qingyi gently pushed Jia Lian’s hand away and stood up from Jia Lian’s lap.

She couldn’t stand Jia Lian’s frivolity.

He put half a cup of tea brought by the maid next to him in front of Jia Lian and said, "Of course it's different. The former serves people with sex, while the latter serves people with the skills he has learned. "

Jia Lian nodded, acknowledging the beauty's words, and then asked: "I wonder how the girl in green would like to serve? "

Gu Qingyi's expression was stagnant. In the past, whether it was out of self-love or self-esteem, she would naturally choose the latter without hesitation.

Born in a wealthy family, if it were said What identity can give her some self-esteem, it is naturally the identity of "Qingguer".

The so-called Qingguer is a person who sells his art but not his body.

Maybe not All "Qingguer" are like this, but at least a top courtesan like her must be like this. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to enter this door.

But to this day, why can't she Understand, she has no choice for a long time.

Whether she likes it or not, she is already Jia Lian’s woman. Therefore, the only way she can go is to be a concubine.

The reason why the geisha was mentioned was just an excuse to remind Jia Lian that it was time to give them a definite explanation.

"What is the importance of Qing Yi's wishes? As long as the Marquis shows it, Qing Yi will You should obey. "

Seeing such a beautiful woman keep going round and round with him, Jia Lian suddenly burst into laughter.

" Why do you have to separate when you serve people with sex and art? ? Sex and art, isn't that what a woman pursues, the most sincere compliment?

From the very beginning when I brought you and four other people back to the capital, wasn’t it because you have both extraordinary beauty and excellent skills that I value?

Don’t be like the common people who think that serving others with sex is a sign of inferiority. Thousands of women in the world dream of having an appearance like Qing Yi’s. Otherwise, even if they wanted to serve others with sex, they wouldn't be able to.

Therefore, you should be proud of your stunning appearance, and I am also blessed to have such stunning beauties as you.

As for your proficiency in the four women's arts, they are your most precious wealth.

As early as last year, I ordered you and four other people to build a women’s music studio for you to study music and exchange and learn with like-minded women from all over the world. Make your own contribution to music, dance, calligraphy, painting, painting and other artistic undertakings.

At that time, artThe title "artist" is no longer suitable. I would like to give you a new identity - artist. "

Before Gu Qingyi had time to digest Jia Lian's previous theory, the following concept attracted all the attention.

"Women's Orchestra? artist? ”

Faced with Gu Qingyi’s confusion, Jia Lian didn’t care at all.

Limited by the concepts of this era, the so-called artists sought after by later generations are in this era Almost all of them are low-life existences.

Jia Lian has long thought of turning Gu Qingyi and other women into trendsetters who led the art trend in the old era.

This is not a fantasy.< br />
According to Jia Lian, the four Gu Qingyi girls all have real talents. Take Gu Qingyi as an example, just the fact that she can compose beautiful and melodious music on her own is enough. Her talents.

In addition to her, the other three also have their own strengths.

What Jia Lian has to do is just to give them a stage to make them more capable. To fully develop and explore their own talents and potential.

The main reason why he did this was simply to separate his women by categories and not want them all to be crowded in the backyard. It is easy to get into trouble.

But, of course, he would not say that to Gu Qingyi.

He simply explained the concepts of artistic innovation and success, and Gu Qingyi She opened her beautiful eyes in surprise, looked at him and said, "Could it be that Mr. Hou has been... Mr. Hou has not moved our bodies, and he actually planned to let us out early in the morning? ? "

Gu Qingyi's words made Jia Lian couldn't help but pull her over and slap her on the buttocks, "That's a beautiful idea. If you fall into my hands, you will be my people for the rest of your life, and you will never escape from my hands. "

Gu Qingyi felt that she could not keep up with Jia Lian's thinking. Her desire for knowledge completely suppressed her shyness as a woman.

"But, as a Marquis, How can a woman show her face outside? "

Faced with the beauty's temptation, Jia Lian laughed and said: "I have never thought of placing you as an object in my home. That would be too boring.

As my woman, I am not stingy in giving freedom as long as I guarantee my loyalty.

Even, I can help you realize your own values ​​and dreams.

Look at the two female guards around me, aren’t they also women who follow my carriage and horses in and out?

Take you, Qingyi, for example. Your talent in music amazes the world. IfIf you are supported in your development, you will be able to make significant achievements in music.

Even if his name remains in history, it is not impossible to become a master like even surpassing Ji Kang and Li Yannian. ”

The times are always progressing. Even for great musicians like Ji Kang and Li Yannian, most of their works have been lost, and the existing ones are basically made up by later generations.

In this era, there is already a better system for recording music.

Just the music composed by Gu Qingyi, which she once performed in the Oiran Competition, can make the contemporary literary scholars and vocalists The master of court moxibustion is regarded as a heavenly being. As time goes by, if she can make further progress and create masterpieces that will last forever, then it is not impossible for her reputation to surpass Ji Kang and others.

As for Gu Qingyi, after hearing Jia Lian's words, a dazzling light bloomed in her beautiful eyes.

It was her sorrow to be born in a profligate life. Self-respect and self-love were her last stubbornness.
>
Putting aside the vanity nature of most women in the world, for her, it can be said that it is her luxury to be able to change the world's view of her and become someone as respected as Jia Lian.< br />
She didn’t dare to think about it before, maybe she had, but now, with Jia Lian’s words, everything seems possible.

The most important thing is, Jia Lian Since he is willing to support them in careers they like and are good at, it means that in Jia Lian's heart, he does not regard them as just playthings!

This alone is enough to dispel all her worries.

Looking back, she kept her inner thoughts deep in her heart, lest Jia Lian see through her inner thoughts and underestimate her.

Then she discovered that Jia Lian’s hands , which has already offended her a lot.

She immediately put aside her idle thoughts and thought about the current situation...

Jia Lian saw that the beauty suddenly stiffened slightly. She lay motionless in his arms, knowing that her small movements were noticed by the beauty.

No wonder he was there.

It was a petite and exquisite little beauty in his arms. It’s hard for a man not to be distracted, let alone a beauty like Gu Qingyi?

With the beautiful body in his arms, it feels like holding a beautiful jade or drinking sweet rain!

If you have to touch her again, it will be an unparalleled enjoyment.

Seeing that the beauty was shy but not moving, Jia Lian pretended not to know and continued to have sex with each other. Talking about Lefang, while taking advantage of the beauty.

After all, the beauty has a virgin body and her endurance is limited.

After trying to escape and being blocked by Jia Lian, the beauty with rosy cheeks glanced at Jia Lian and suddenly asked: "The Marquis just said that Qingyi is the Marquis' woman, but are you serious? "

"I am serious, no man in the world would be willing to let go of a beauty like you."

"The beauty chuckled and said: "In that case, Qingyi Shang I have a skill that I would like to present to the Marquis, and I hope that the Marquis will not hesitate to listen to it."

"Oh, what skill?"

The beauty did not answer, but stood up and clung to Jia Lian. In the ear: "Master Hou often asks sister Pan'er to teach Xiao in Linxuan. Don't you know that in terms of Xiao's skills, Qingyi is not inferior to sister Pan'er?"

Jia Lian was slightly stunned at first, then immediately Spirits lifted.

How could Jia Lian not know that Gu Qingyi was a master of the piano and flute.

But in this situation and this scene, when a beauty mentions Xiao Ji, it is inevitable that it will not make people feel charming.

Turning his head to look at the beautiful woman’s smooth and tender red lips without the cinnabar, Jia Lian almost subconsciously let go of the hands that controlled the beautiful woman.

The beauty was freed, and she immediately moved her hips slightly and stood up.

Glancing at Qin Keqing and the maid Xiaozi who were staring at each other in the door, Gu Qingyi said: "You guys can go out."

Although Qin Keqing and the other two did not hear The beauty whispered, but based on the context and context, she could roughly guess that the masters were going to play tricks, so she looked at each other, went out and closed the door obediently.

But Gu Qingyi didn’t have enough time, so he walked to the side and closed both windows.

The light in the pavilion suddenly became darker.

Seeing this scene, Jia Lian could not bear to be agitated.

Although, if he really wanted Gu Qingyi to teach Xiao, he would have succeeded long ago. But how can any beauty be willing to perform under compulsion and perform in a stylish way?

He sat on the stool and spread his legs slightly.

Gu Qingyi turned around and caught sight of his movements. There was no expression on her face. She took a few steps forward and said: "This song by Nujia is called "Fengxiao Audio". It was played by me not long ago. I just created it, please ask the Marquis for advice."

After saying this, the beauty reached into her sleeve and took out a dark green jade flute.

Jia Lian saw at a glance that it was Gu Qingyi’s famous musical instrument called "Shock".

Watching Dame Gu put one end of the jade flute to her lips, and then the distant sound of the flute came from the jade flute.

Jia Lian’s expression remained unchanged, but the smile on his face quietly faded.

　After playing the song, Gu Qingyi, who had been watching Jia Lian's expression, suppressed the smile in his heart. She didn't seriously ask Jia Lian how her flute sounded, because her performance of this piece was a bit messy and far below her previous level.

She didn’t care, she put the jade flute back into her sleeve, and her face suddenly turned red again.

Walked up to Jia Lian, squatted slightly on Jia Lian's thigh, then looked up at Jia Lian, and whispered softly: "I don't know how many times I have played Jing Qing Yi, and it has become a bit complicated. I don't know, Lord Marquis." I can also prepare a good flute, and give it to Qingyi to play for the marquis to taste..."

Jia Lian felt nervous after hearing this.

Sure enough, women are fickle. Even a woman as incomprehensible as Feng Jieer can still come up with a magical trick that allows Xiang Ling and Qin Keqing to exchange bodies with each other.

And the number one oiran in front of him, who had always maintained aloofness and pride in front of him, could also resort to such narrow and seductive tactics.

Jia Lian could no longer contain the restlessness in his heart, and suddenly bent down and picked up the beauty's slender body. He kicked the stool under him and stepped straight into the spring boudoir curtain behind him.
