Zi Yan smiled softly and said, "Is it not in your hands? Qingchuan, let's go."
Jiu Yiniang couldn't help but wonder, how could a person such as Ziyan secretly make an appearance for Qingchuan? The more she thought about it, the more she realized there was something strange, so she called a little girl over and told her secretly, asking her to stare at Ziyan and Qingchuan for the past few days. Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't even leave the door for a few days, only occasionally heard a few low songs from the house, and they didn't hear it really, as if they were practicing songs.
Then some prostitutes disdainfully said: "Zi Yan is so old, dare to come out and sing a small song? Who listens to it?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but Jiu Yiniang became more and more curious in her heart. Several times she sent someone to send tea and water to inquire, but she couldn't find any news. She was struggling with her heart and lungs here, and she never thought that Qingchuan had invited her over.
Qingchuan handed her a drawing and said, "I would like to ask Jiu Auntie to decorate the hall according to the drawing on this drawing. All the expenses will be paid by the Ziyan girl."
Then she handed over Ziyan’s jewelry box. The box was filled with jewellery from the benefactors when Ziyan was popular. Auntie Jiu looked at Qingchuan for a long while in surprise, and said, "Wow, this But Zi Yan’s life savings, I thought for a long time and couldn’t get it out. You actually have this ability, great, great.”
As he said this, he hugged the jewelry box tightly in his hands, for fear that Qingchuan would take it back again.
Qingchuan smiled, and said, "The silver is here, will Jiu Yi Niang do what I said?"
Aunt Jiu hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes! Definitely!"
He took the jewelry box and walked out quickly. Zi Yan had been sitting aside silently, and only then looked at Qingchuan very worriedly: "That's the money I saved up to me. I'm already twenty-six this year. It's impossible to save those things anymore. confident?"
Qingchuan patted his chest confidently, and replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely make you famous."
It is easy to get things done with silver. Only a few days later, Jiu Yiniang asked someone to rebuild the small stage directly opposite the hall according to the blueprints Qingchuan gave, and prepared everything Qingchuan needed. That night, Mengxianjuli was full of customers as usual, and the hall was full of lanterns, brightly lit, and a scene of drunken life and dreams.
Qingchuan secretly looked down from the second floor, and saw that the guests were almost there, so he gestured to the tortoise slaves who were holding lanterns. Those people had accepted Qingchuan's benefits in advance. , Seeing this, extinguished the lights in the hall.
The hall was suddenly dark, and the clients were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly exploded.
"How is this going?"
"How can I turn off all the lights? Hurry up, turn on..."
In the chaos and noisy, Qingchuan hurriedly lit the special lantern beside him, and people only felt that a bright light in the dark came out from the second floor, and it was falling on the small stage opposite the hall. Before everyone recovered from their consternation, a gentle music gradually sounded, petals flying across the sky in the aperture, and a swing surrounded by flowers slowly fell from the sky. Sitting on the swing was a beauty wearing a tulle, swinging gently on the swing, singing lightly to the music.
"I'm like a peach blossom following the flowing water, drifting to the sea of people with the flowing water, the sea of people is vast and knows where I am, I just hope to find a little love..."
In the hall, a dark fragrance floated, and the singing voice was tactful. The clear and beautiful song slowly filled the hall like a translucent stream, flowing in the hearts of everyone. Everyone was fascinated for a while, and it took a long time to burst into thunderous applause.
Even the sister-in-law Jiu next to Qingchuan was silly. Qingchuan pushed her on her shoulder and asked, "How about it? Isn't it okay?"
Aunt Jiu's eyes were still stuck on the swing, and she murmured: "It's so beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful performance."
Qingchuan smiled and asked her, "Do you have any money?"
As soon as she mentioned silver, Auntie Jiu immediately woke up, turned her head to look at Qingchuan, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Qingchuan said, "Just take it out."
Auntie Jiu didn't know what medicine she sold in the gourd, so she took a few silver coins from her arms and handed them to her. Qingchuan stretched out his hand and threw it on the stage, yelling: "Girl Ziyan can sing well!"
Aunt Jiu was startled, she was about to be anxious, but she heard the guests downstairs shouting loudly: "Girl Ziyan sings well." She also threw silver on the stage like Qingchuan.
Everyone in the hall immediately followed suit, and the silver and silver bills flew all over the sky, and they all landed on the stage.
Qingchuan looked at it, smiled triumphantly, and raised her eyebrows at Jiu Auntie, "How about it? This is called a little money to catch a lot of money!"
Auntie Jiu had already laughed so hard to see the silver when she saw the silver, she didn't care about Qingchuan anymore, she was busy going downstairs to check the silver. Ziyan had already finished singing a song over there, and according to Qingchuan's prior explanation, he did not stay on the stage, but went away lightly. The guests in the hall suddenly fried the pot, shouting for Zi Yan to come out and sing another song.
Zi Yan hid in the house, his body shook with excitement. He firmly grasped Qingchuan's hand and whispered, "Hahaha... I knew my charm was still there, Qingchuan, did you see them? Hope I go out to sing again, it's great, great..."
Auntie Jiu came in happily. She pulled Ziyan and was about to go out, but was stopped by Qingchuan. Auntie Jiu asked in surprise, "What do you want to do? Do you know that Ziyan won't go out anymore, those people outside? It turned the sky upside down."
Qingchuan stopped in front of Ziyan and asked, "Have you never heard of eating less and more taste? If you let them get addicted at once, who will come again tomorrow?"
Zi Yan was frightened at once, and asked, "Is that right?"
Qingchuan opened the door and said lightly: "If you want to be popular again, you have to listen to me. If you want to have a nightmare, go out now, and I won't stop it."
Zi Yan couldn't make up his mind for a while, and looked at Qingchuan hesitantly. The Jiu Niang on the side was a shrewd person. She immediately understood what Qingchuan had said, and smiled at Zi Yan: "What she said also makes sense. Man, what you can't get is always the best. Zi Yan, You can rest today and talk about it tomorrow."
Qingchuan helped Zi Yan to leave, but Jiu Yiniang reached out and stopped her. Qingchuan immediately looked at her defensively, and asked, "What do you want? You don't want to call me to pick up guests again, right?"
Aunt Jiu smiled and shook her head hurriedly: "No, no, how much money can you earn from picking up customers? The melon seeds in your head are much more useful than picking up customers. Ziyan is so old, you can help her create miracles, I I believe the girls in my courtyard will be better. If you give them an idea, I will split the bill with you five or five, and promise not to force you to do things you don’t want to do. How?"
Qingchuan thought for a while and nodded at the end: "Deal!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. Aunt Jiu went to greet the guests outside, but Qingchuan helped Ziyan back to the room. Seeing that Qingchuan had agreed to help the other girls, Zi Yan suddenly became nervous and asked Qingchuan, "You won't just take care of those people and ignore me, right?"
Qingchuan smiled and said: "Well, I'm dealing with Jiu Niang, you are kind to me, as long as you always treat me well, I naturally put you first!"
After hearing this, Zi Yan nodded in relief, and promised: "Don't worry, as long as I Zi Yan is on this day, I will definitely not let others bully you!"
Qingchuan tugged at her without speaking. She doesn't want to stay here forever, it's better to have enough money to slip early! Thinking this way, she couldn't help but sneezed a lot. Qingchuan couldn't help rubbing her nose, secretly asking who was thinking about her
There are people who are really worried about Qingchuan, it is the 嫔 who wants to regain the holy favor. She was here all day thinking about how to regain the favor of Kangxi, but the few court ladies around her could not think of a good way to make her think of Qingchuan's good come more and more.
On the Qiqiao Festival, Kangxi invited the queen mother, concubines in the palace and some prince Fujin to listen to the play in Changyin Pavilion. I was afraid that I would miss the hour, so I dressed up early in the morning and took Wanyue and the others to Changyin Pavilion. I never thought that as soon as I left Chuxiu Palace, I saw a little eunuch with a group of men and women from a distance. coming.
When the little eunuch saw his wife, he led others to the side of the corridor, and respectfully greeted him.
He glanced at the theater troupe, and couldn't help asking, "Who are these people?"
The little eunuch hurriedly bowed and replied: "In response to Niangniang's words, the eighth prince specially invited from outside to give the emperor the opera troupe for the Qiao Qiao Festival."
Hearing this, he felt even more strange, and said strangely, "The theatre group? There is no theatre group in our palace, so we have to invite it from outside?"
The little eunuch smiled fondly, and replied: "Niangniang, this group of people sing little tunes."
There was a move in her heart, thinking that she was secretly singing a small song in the Yuhuayuan at the beginning, which attracted Kangxi's attention to her. She couldn't help but smile, and suddenly had an idea in her heart.
In the Changyin Pavilion, because it was too early, only a few low-grade concubines sat sparsely, and the prince Fujin only came to Sifujin Jinzhi. Elder Brother Ten watched from a distance that Jin Zhi was already sitting in front of the stage, and couldn't help asking Elder Brother Nine in a low voice: "Brother Nine, why did the fourth sister-in-law come so early? Or are you alone, Brother Four?"
Brother Jiu showed a smirk on his face, and replied: "It's not easy. The idea is to say that the time is half an hour earlier? As for the fourth brother, there are ministers on the way. The fourth elder brother, the pillar of the country, spoke, and the fourth sister-in-law couldn't wait, so one person came first."
Ten elder brothers then understood, knowing that nine elder brothers made a mess, couldn't help but cuddle his thumbs in secret.
Eighth elder brother only smiled faintly, and walked under the stage with the two of them. Brother Jiu took the lead to say hello to Jin Zhi: "Oh, isn't this the fourth sister-in-law? Why did you come so early?"
