Volume 6: Dream Record Chapter 413 Chi Yanei is great
In the upstairs private room of Sanyuan Inn, Song Yinzhang's pretty face was full of spring. She sat by the fence, holding the Solitary Moon Pipa in her arms, plucking it slowly and immersing herself in the music. The downstairs of the inn was crowded with people listening to the music. The joyful music sounded, and everyone who listened to the music was intoxicated and obsessed. Even Du Ziteng, the owner of Sanyuan Inn, was mesmerized by the music. He sat quietly behind the counter, closed his eyes, and shook his head while listening to the sound of the pipa. He seemed to see the scene of himself and his wife talking about love when he was young. She was so beautiful, like the most brilliant flower in full bloom in spring, and he was like a hardworking little bee, busy among the flowers, greedily collecting nectar, until...
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!"
Chi Yanei found out that Zhao Pan'er was staying at the Sanyuan Inn, so he went there with Lu Wu and others. He saw the innkeeper sitting behind the counter with his eyes closed listening to music, and he didn't respond no matter how he called. He was furious and slammed the counter and cursed:
"Hey, are you deaf?"
"ah!"
Du Ziteng was busy "collecting nectar" when he was suddenly frightened by Chi Yanei. He couldn't help but feel weak all over, and a feeling of ecstasy instantly spread from his lower body to his limbs. Before he could recover, Chi Yanei came up to him and asked sinisterly:
"Is there someone named Zhao Pan'er living in your store?"
Looking at Chi Yanei who was so close, Du Ziteng replied while holding back his urge to urinate:
"Please forgive me, sir. I didn't know!"
"I don't know?"
Looking at Du Ziteng, Chi Yanei picked up two dried longans from the fruit bowl on the counter and crushed them hard, threatening:
"Do you know now?"
Hearing the sound of dried longan being crushed, Du Ziteng felt a chill in his crotch. He looked at Chi Yanei who was threatening him, and then pointed to the private room upstairs with a trembling arm. Chi Yanei immediately understood, stuffed the crushed longan fruit into his hand and said with a smile:
"Thank you!"
After saying that, Chi Yanei took Lu Wu and others to the private room upstairs. After they left, Du Ziteng looked at the two longans in his hand, then clamped his legs together and moved to the toilet in the backyard of the inn.
…
In the private room upstairs, Song Yinzhang was playing her Solitary Moon Pipa when she suddenly heard a strange man's frivolous voice behind her, laughing:
"Ah, what a beautiful little wild flower from the south of the Yangtze River!"
Song Yinzhang was startled and turned around abruptly. Seeing Chi Yanei, she was frightened and was about to turn around and run away, but Lu Wu and others surrounded her again. She couldn't escape, so Song Yinzhang stood there timidly holding her Solitary Moon Pipa. Seeing Song Yinzhang's weak appearance, Chi Yanei couldn't help but want to tease her. He stopped Song Yinzhang and laughed:
"Beauty, don't leave. I'm here to find Zhao Pan'er. Do you know where she is?"
Hearing this, Song Yinzhang suppressed her fear. She hugged her Solitary Moon Pipa tightly and said timidly:
"She is my sister. What do you want from her?"
"elder sister?"
Hearing Song Yinzhang say that Zhao Pan'er was her sister, Chi Yanei and Lu Wu and others smiled at each other. He looked at Song Yinzhang and threatened:
"Your sister has offended me twice. Why do you think we should look for her?"
Looking at the ferocious Chi Yanei, Song Yinzhang couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said timidly:
"Although I don't know the details, we sisters are new to Tokyo and don't know the rules. If we have offended you, please be magnanimous and forgive us!"
After saying that, she bowed slightly to Chi Yanei again. Seeing Song Yinzhang being so sensible, Chi Yanei was very satisfied. He looked at Lu Wu and others who were surrounding him and said with a smile:
"This little girl is more sensible than that one!"
“Yeah, yeah!”
Lu Wu and the others laughed and nodded. At this time, Chi Yanei looked at Song Yinzhang and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay. As the saying goes, there is no friendship without fighting. If you are willing, just accompany me to find a quiet place to sit, and we can let this matter go!"
"No, I won't go!"
Seeing Chi Yanei, who obviously had bad intentions, Song Yinzhang turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by Chi Yanei. Chi Yanei grabbed the handle of Song Yinzhang's Solitary Moon Pipa and said with a smile:
"Beauty, don't go, I'm a good person!"
"Don't touch my pipa!"
Seeing Chi Yanei grabbing the handle of her Solitary Moon Pipa, Song Yinzhang couldn't help but say anxiously that except for the people closest to her, she couldn't tolerate anyone touching her Solitary Moon Pipa, especially other men except Yuan Xudong.
Seeing Song Yinzhang's anxiety, Chi Yanei became even more aggressive. He grabbed Song Yinzhang's Solitary Moon Pipa and played it randomly:
"I didn't even touch you, why are you screaming so loudly? It's just a broken pipa, right? So what if I touched it? I'm still playing it. So what if I played it?"
"you……"
Seeing Chi Yanei acting like a scoundrel, Song Yinzhang couldn't help but get angry. She was also worried about her Solitary Moon Pipa, so she decided to go all out. She simply took the Solitary Moon Pipa and smashed it towards Chi Yanei's face. Chi Yanei was just beginning to tease the weak-looking Song Yinzhang, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly start a fight. She was accidentally hit on the right face by the handle of the pipa, and her tongue hit her teeth. She screamed and blood flowed from her mouth. Song Yinzhang was startled. While Lu Wu and the others were in a daze, she quickly ran out with her Solitary Moon Pipa in her arms. At this time, Lu Wu and the others came to their senses and quickly surrounded Chi Yanei and said nervously, "I'm so tired, so happy. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired.
"Yanei, you're bleeding!"
"Yanei, are you okay?"
"My tongue, you, what are you doing surrounding me, go chase her!"
Chi Yanei bit his tongue and could hardly speak clearly. Seeing Song Yinzhang running away, he could not help but feel angry, anxious and painful. He kicked Lu Wu and others and asked them to chase the culprit Song Yinzhang. At this time, Lu Wu and others realized that Song Yinzhang had already run away, so they hurriedly chased him along the corridor, running and shouting:
"Stop, catch that girl!"
…
Song Yinzhang ran away in panic holding the Gu Yue Pipa. At this moment, she saw Sun Sanniang and hid behind her in fear:
"Sister Sanniang, there are bad guys!"
Seeing Chi Yanei and a group of servants chasing Song Yinzhang closely, Sun Sanniang immediately stood in front of them, put her hands on her waist and cursed:
"What the hell?"
Seeing that Sun Sanniang wanted to protect Song Yinzhang, Chi Yanei stood in front of her and said without showing any weakness:
"It's me!"
As soon as Chi Yanei finished speaking, Sun Sanniang slapped him in the face. At this moment, Zhao Pan'er and Yinping Yatou also came over. Seeing that Chi Yanei had come to the inn to cause trouble for Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang, Zhao Pan'er didn't think twice and directly poured a cup of hot tea on them. Song Yinzhang broke his tongue, Sun Sanniang slapped him, and Zhao Pan'er poured another cup of hot tea on him. Chi Yanei was ravaged three times in a row and couldn't help but jump up and cry out in pain:
"Ouch, my tongue!"
After a short pause, Chi Yanei took the Su Juan that Lu Wu handed over, wiped his face clean, looked at Zhao Pan'er with a gloomy look and said:
"Zhao Pan'er, it's you again!"
Looking at Chi Yanei who spoke with a lisp, Zhao Paner chuckled and said:
"What's wrong with me?"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er's smug look, Chi Yanei said angrily:
"Zhao Pan'er, let's settle all the old and new grudges today!"
"Forget it!"
Zhao Pan'er glanced at the other guests who were gathered around to watch the fun, then looked at Chi Yanei and said:
"Today, while there are so many people here, please help us to be witnesses. I have only had dealings with you three times in total. The first time, you hit me and the ball fell after you played free kick, and you blamed me. But I kicked better than you, so you held a grudge against me. The second time, your men took money from others and molested us in the street, so we beat them up and left them there to guard the door. The third time, if I'm not mistaken, you wanted to come and stand up for your men who were beaten up, but you took it out on my sister when I was away. Am I right?"
After listening to Zhao Pan'er's words, Chi Yanei said stubbornly:
"I'm Chi Pan, Chi Yanei, the head of the twelve guilds in Tokyo, including silk, medicine, fur, rice, shipping, etc. I have at least 200 people under me, if not 10,000. There are countless people who want to impersonate me. I don't know anything about what you said. There is only one account I want to settle with you today. Your sister made my tongue like this, and she slapped me, and you scalded me with hot water. There must be an explanation for this, right?"
Hearing Chi Yanei say this, Song Yinzhang couldn't help but stick his head out from behind Sun Sanniang and Zhao Pan'er and whispered:
"You flirted with me and tried to steal my pipa, so I hit you with the handle of the pipa!"
"nonsense!"
Hearing Song Yinzhang say that he flirted with her, Chi Yanei immediately retorted:
"I haven't even met you, so how can I be so frivolous? You can ask everyone here. I, Chi Yanei, may be romantic and melancholy at ordinary times..."
Hearing Chi Yanei talking about romantic melancholy, Zhao Paner couldn't help but sneer and said:
"Very charming, huh?"
“That’s how I like it!”
After glaring at Zhao Pan'er, Chi Yanei continued:
"When have I ever used force on a woman? Aren't all prostitutes polite ?"
Hearing this, someone next to him responded:
"That's right, how could Chi Yanei be that kind of person? He never uses his fists to solve problems that can be solved with money!"
"Yeah, Chi Yanei is not that kind of person!"
"Is that young lady also a prostitute?"
"She's quite pretty. Whose courtesan is she?"
…
Seeing that people around him were talking about it, Song Yinzhang hugged the Solitary Moon Pipa tightly in his arms, his eyes instantly reddened as he said:
"I'm not a flower lady, not a lady!"
"impossible!"
Hearing this, Chi Yanei sneered:
"The brothel is my second home. I know it as soon as I hear your tone!"
"you……"
Seeing that Song Yinzhang wanted to say something, Zhao Pan'er shook her head imperceptibly. Then, she looked at Chi Yanei and changed the subject:
"What great truth can a person who can't even read a few words say?"
Hearing this, Chi Yanei became angry and said:
"Zhao Pan'er, don't talk nonsense to me. You made my tongue like this. We can't just let this go. I have plenty of money. You don't need a penny!"
"So what do you want?"
"Let's go to Changqing House and have a drink together. Then let your sister play three songs for me, and we'll settle this matter. Otherwise, I will make sure that you three women will never have peace in Tokyo. Do you believe me?"
Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but laugh:
"It's easy to make a toast, but you want to hear my sister play the pipa, that's not a simple matter. My sister is the best pipa player in Jiangnan. If ordinary people want to hear her play the pipa, they have to pass the three tests of civil and military skills of our sisters, and you are no exception!"
"You are bragging. With her appearance, she is the best pipa player in Jiangnan? I don't believe it!"
Seeing that Chi Yanei didn't believe it, Zhao Pan'er pulled Song Yinzhang over and smiled proudly at everyone:
"You've all heard my wife Song playing the pipa, right?"
"I've heard it, I've heard it!"
"Does she deserve this title?"
“It’s worth it, it’s worth it!”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhao Pan'er turned to Chi Yanei and said with a smile:
"Yes, my sister is a musician, but her family has been making pipa for the palace since the pre-Tang Dynasty. The Solitary Moon pipa in her hand is also a treasure left by Emperor Minghuang of Tang. She is not only a guest of honor at the residence of Prince Qian's Concubine, but also a confidante of Xiao Fan, the eldest son of the Xiao family. I would like to ask, can ordinary people appreciate such a pipa master?"
After listening to Zhao Pan'er's words, Chi Yanei didn't believe it and said:
"Don't provoke me. I am not an ordinary person. I don't believe what you said. What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?"
"What if I can produce evidence?"
“Hmph~~”
Chi Yanei snorted coldly, feeling unsure, but he said with all his might:
"If you can produce evidence, I will allow you to pass the three tests of civil and military affairs!"
"Well, it's a deal!"
After saying that, Zhao Pan'er took out a gold medal from her sleeve and waved it in front of Chi Yanei, smiling proudly:
"This is the gold medal that Young Master Xiao asked me to give to my sister. He said that if she has any problems, she can go to the Xiao Mansion to ask him for help. This should prove that what I said is true, right?"
“You, you you you…”
Looking at the gold medal in Zhao Pan'er's hand, a token made of pure gold with cloud patterns carved on it and a huge "Xiao" character in the middle, Chi Yanei was dumbfounded and said:
"This is impossible. This pure gold medal is only used by the Xiao family. Outsiders use silver and iron medals. How could Xiao Fan give this gold medal to your sister? Is he going to marry your sister?"
"What?"
Hearing Chi Yanei say this, Zhao Pan'er was slightly stunned. She thought that it was because the Xiao family was wealthy, so all the tokens they used were made of gold, just like the Imperial City Lion Head Card held by Gu Qianfan, which was also made of gold. She didn't expect that the Xiao family's gold medal had such a special identity meaning in it. Although Yuan Xudong did not say it explicitly, Zhao Pan'er could understand his intentions better. For a moment, she felt sweet in her heart, as sweet as eating osmanthus honey. She was looking forward to Yuan Xudong coming back soon to express his love to her!
At this moment, when Song Yinzhang heard Zhao Pan'er say that Yuan Xudong asked her to give her a gold medal from the Xiao family, she actually believed it. She handed the Lonely Moon Pipa to Yin Ping, and hurriedly took the gold medal from Zhao Pan'er, who was slightly stunned, and said lovingly:
"Thank you, sister. Thank you, Fanlang. This gold medal is so beautiful!"
Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er came back to her senses and opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she just smiled and said nothing. Sun Sanniang, who was standing next to her, knew that the gold medal was given to Zhao Pan'er by Yuan Xudong. She was about to remind Song Yinzhang, but Zhao Pan'er shook her head imperceptibly. Seeing how much Song Yinzhang liked it, Zhao Pan'er had already decided to go with the flow. Since Yuan Xudong gave the gold medal to her, it would be fine for her to give it to her sister. Thinking of this, she looked at Song Yinzhang and smiled:
"Yin Zhang, you must keep this gold medal well and don't lose it!"
"Um!"
Song Yinzhang nodded slightly, holding the gold medal in his arms and smiled happily:
"I'll keep it safe, thank you, sister!"
Opposite them, Chi Yanei saw that Zhao Pan'er and the others really knew Yuan Xudong, and it seemed that they had a close relationship. He couldn't help but think that he was unlucky and said:
"Forget it, forget it. Xiao Fan and I know each other. For his sake, I won't bother with you guys anymore. I'm leaving now!"
Seeing Chi Yanei taking the initiative to let go of the grudge, Zhao Paner was not a stingy woman. She bowed slightly to Chi Yanei and raised her body and said:
"Thank you Chi Yanei for being so magnanimous and not bothering with us weak women!"
Hearing this, Chi Yanei bowed his hands gracefully and said:
"Ms. Zhao, you are too polite. You can use He Si and the others as you like. I will be leaving first. See you another day!"
"Yanei, walk slowly!"
Seeing Chi Yanei leaving with his men, Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang, and Yinping girl smiled at each other, with more and more obvious confidence on their faces. Since coming to Tokyo, no matter whether it was this year's Jinshi Du Changfeng, Tanhua Lang Ouyang Xu, or the head bosses of the twelve guilds in Tokyo, they could always handle it with ease and make light of heavy tasks!
…
Chi Yanei left the Sanyuan Inn with a smile on his face. As he walked along the road, Lu Wu couldn't help but flatter him:
"Our yamen's demeanor is really cool and elegant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yanei, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Lv Wu's face bumped into his back. Chi Yanei's eyes fell on the plaque of Yihong Courtyard next to him. He strode towards Yihong Courtyard, followed by a group of men. Chi Yanei shouted loudly:
"Madam, is Miss Qianluobai accepting guests tonight?"
