That womans skills blossoming should be sothing to be happy about
However, Xu didnt think she developed her talent after a lot of practice
As for the reason, it was because that womans lutes state was far more pristine compared to the lutes of the other musicians.
The more you use the lute, the more scratches it will have. You will break a lot of strings at first while checking how much strength you need to put so that the sound will co out nicely, and you have to repair the scratches that result from that.
According to Xu, the lutes of skill musicians will change colors as part of polishing and covering the scratches.
However, that womans lute didnt look like it reached that level.
It had been hard for her to play well without breaking a string, and yet she was able to produce such wonderful music? Xu was baffled as she thought of this.
Oh, so thats how it is with musical instrunts.
Yui i muttered, impressed with what she heard.
Thinking about it, these musical instrunts also represented the courtesans that played them.
Their future would change depending on their instrunts, so they would also put a lot of effort in maintaining them.
Perhaps, that fact still hadnt sinked into that woman, who still hadnt grasped that sense that it was no longer a re lesson that a noble young lady would receive.
Still, despite that shortcoming, she was probably talented enough to be entrusted with a solo performance.
However, it was also up to the person herself whether she would hone this talent, or just let it rot.
It wasnt odd then that Xu found it suspicious. That such a woman, who was still at the level of a pampered miss, could play such captivating music that had seed like it was produced by a professional.
But still, I swallowed all suspicions for a ti. I cant doubt the talents of others, it will be the start of my downfall.
It seed that Xu witnessed so people experience that after she beca a palace courtesan.
Well, being a top-notch musician is a separate matter from having a strong heart, right?
If a musician had fallen from the top ranks because of an injury or an illness, soone else would have to take their place.
It must be very difficult for palace courtesans, whose could only rely on their talent and skills for a living not to harbor any feelings of resentnt and wishes of misfortune on others.
Perhaps, Xu didnt fall into this quagmire of misfortune because she wasnt focused on advancing her career, because her goal was to wait for her lovers return.
And yet, despite of her personal wish, she still returned to being the solo perforr because of the sound of her lute.
However, the other musicians, who also had doubts about the other woman, started to grumble about it.
It wasnt a simple gossip that she was cheating in so way.
It would have been fine if the only thing that happened was that girls improvent with the lute. However, from then on, her emotions started to beco unstable, and the occasions when her actions and words beca strange increased.
What on earth happened to her? Did she practice too much that she went crazy?
It was when the rumors started to spread, saying it was a disgrace for that kind of lute musician, that Xu heard sothing that bothered her.
I heard it from the girl that stays in a room near that girl, but it seed an unfamiliar rchant had been constantly visiting her recently.
What!?
The man shouted when he heard what Xu said.
Only authorized rchants can enter and leave Jiaofang.
Really?
Yui i asked when the man said that, so Xu further explained.
According to her, palace courtesans would need to spend money on things like maintenance tools for the instrunts, and if they were singers, they would buy various stuff to protect their throats. They also needed to buy the clothes they would wear to the banquets.
Of course, the expenses would be shouldered by the Jiaofang, so normally, palace courtesans wouldnt have the chance to interact with such rchant guests..
Of course, only the first-class stores were permitted to enter.
However, since that day, it seed that the unfamiliar rchant started to blend with those stores, and he showered that woman with kindness, apparently.
According to what I heard, its a rchant introduced by sobody in the palace, but Ive never heard of that store before.
Xu was once a daughter of a prestigious rchant, so it was only natural that she knew all the stores that entered the palace.
And yet, the na of the store that the rchant gave was unfamiliar to her.
After gathering more information, she found out that the rchant had requested a different large-scale store to let him blend with them, apparently.
