Chapter 2057 Gu Yundong's proposal
Mr. Lu now has some understanding of the price of goods outside. A pipa is not cheap, especially this pipa is very delicate.
Gu Yundong nodded affirmatively, "You heard right, this pipa will be given to you."
"Yes, but this is too expensive."
"A sword matches a hero, and pink is a gift to a beautiful woman. A good musical instrument should be given to someone who is suitable for it and understands it. You just accept it. If you are really sorry, I have something I want to ask you for help."
Mr. Lu blinked and nodded quickly, "The county master says, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."
"You know, I opened a shop called Xinming Pavilion."
Mr. Lu nodded. Of course she had heard of it, and she heard that Xinming Pavilion was a teahouse, but it was different from other teahouses. It was specially designed to entertain those ladies in the capital, and the business was very good.
But she hadn't been there, but she knew that there were also several maids in Shao's house who worked there as female clerks.
They seem to like doing things there very much. They go out happily every day. When they come back, although they are tired, their eyes are always shining.
Seeing that she had heard it, Gu Yundong continued, "Xinming Pavilion is a place to drink tea and chat, and the atmosphere is very important. So we arranged for people to play the piano in the shop to adjust the atmosphere. At present, there is only one person in Xinming Pavilion, as you know. , it's impossible to sit there all day playing the piano, if nothing else, the fingers can't bear it. We originally wanted to find another person, but it's too difficult to find someone who agrees with our heart. So..."
More than a year ago, Gu Yundong once took a few cups filled with water and put them in the shop, and together with the little county master, he used chopsticks to knock out a tune.
At that time, she had the idea to find a piano player in the shop to adjust the atmosphere, but it has not been realized due to various reasons.
Later, after she left, Ge Shi and Mammy Xia were always managing the shop.
Mr. Ge discovered a problem. Some ladies came alone, just wanting to find a corner to drink tea, and no one spoke. In fact, it was a bit boring. Later, several people came to ask them if they still wanted to listen to the music that the water cup knocked out.
Moreover, over time, there were buzzing voices in the shop, some noisy, and some ladies didn't like it.
After discussing with Mrs. Xia, they put Gu Yundong's previous thoughts on the agenda.
In the end, Madam Xia found a girl who used to play the guqin in the palace band and recruited her to the shop.
Not to mention, since I played this guqin, it has really received rave reviews. And since the sound of the violin started, the voices in the shop became quieter.
Customers will consciously lower the volume, and the whole shop is filled with a harmonious and elegant atmosphere.
Gu Yundong went back and heard it once, and it really became different.
It’s just that there is only one girl who plays the piano, and she can’t play the piano all the time. Last time, because a guest asked to play a few more songs, her fingers were broken, and she took a few days off.
However, such a girl is not easy to recruit. Girls who can afford musical instruments and learn these things are either the daughters of a wealthy family, or they are descendants of poor families or criminals.
The former only came to the shop as a guest, the latter...either with poor piano skills or with a lofty attitude, I felt it was a shame to go to the shop to play the piano. As for the descendants of the criminals, most of them were charged into the Jiaofang Division.
