Including Geng Liang, who is still in charge of security work in Guochanglong Workshop, these three guards were sent to Shen Ao by Marquis Zhongcheng. Their parents had followed Shen Ao's father Shen Yuntian to fight on the battlefield, and eventually blood was shed on the battlefield. Like this He is a very clean person and will never betray the Shen family unless something unexpected happens.
The three guards have also received regular military training and are very skilled. At least there is no problem in protecting a young prince with no real power. Shen Ao has also seen the skills of the three and is very satisfied. Otherwise, he would have died once. How could Shen Ao easily leave his safety in the hands of others?
Shen Ao brought two guards, not to show his identity, but purely for personal safety. Don't let people kill you again before your great cause is accomplished, and the happiness of life has not yet begun. If so, , then there is nowhere to redress grievances.
Shen Ao was sitting quietly at the table, tasting dried fruits and drinking tea, looking around casually. On the second floor of Yanchun Building, the girls had already been quarreling over the issue of today's appearance.
What girl doesn't miss spring, let alone Shen Ao, who is so talented and good-looking that he angrily criticized the Japanese envoys in the court and defeated the Japanese literary giant. After the news came out, everyone had already dubbed him the Little Poet Saint. Title. This is because Shen Ao is too young. Otherwise, the small characters will definitely be removed, and the title of Poet Saint will definitely not escape.
The status of scholars in Daqian is very high. If they can write a few popular poems, their social status will be improved a lot. Such people often just hang around in the land of grass, and they don’t need to spend money. No matter how much money he has, some girls will take the initiative to pay for him, and this is often regarded as an honor. For a talented person, even if you want to pay him money, you must have such an opportunity.
Putting the matter in front of us, if we can get Shen Ao's favor and send him a poem, what an honor it would be. He would surely be famous in the entire Daliang City. In this case, would there be fewer people coming for his name? ?Wasn’t money pouring in at that time?
After understanding this truth, many girls who originally had no program tonight also proposed the idea of performing on stage to the sister in charge, Wu Lian.
Yanchun Tower is different from a brothel. It is full of courtesans, representing an elegant existence. The guests are also relatively wealthy literati, businessmen and other high-ranking officials. They go there not for the so-called flesh and blood, but for the so-called flesh and blood. If you want to gain relaxation and tranquility, enjoy fine wine, delicious food, music and dance, if you can recite poems and compose poems, it will be remembered as a good story.
Precisely because there are no other services and no new programs, the attraction becomes weaker and weaker over time, so that there are big problems in the operation. Even the bosses here have sold Yanchun Building. Plan. Because of this, they need an opportunity, an opportunity to make a splash.
Just imagine, if the little poet saint could leave a calligraphy treasure this time, or write a poem specifically for Yan Chun Tower, wouldn't it be the best publicity? When the news came out, I was afraid that Yan Chun Tower would lose its business. Those people Rich people have to squeeze in even if there is a queue.
As the manager, Wu Lian's mind was filled with such fantasies. Of course she would not give up such a good opportunity. But how to seize the opportunity and let Shen Ao speak is the most important thing.
If all the performances were ordinary, it would be difficult to attract a young man who is wise and martial, unparalleled in the world, unparalleled in grace, and unparalleled in both civil and military skills. Wouldn't that be a waste of the opportunity? ?
"No, let sister Qiutong go up tonight. Sister Qiutong, you must show off your eighteen martial arts skills and make the young master speak." After some thought, Wu Lian said firmly and cruelly. .
Shen Ao's shadow was in her heart, and Bai Qiutong couldn't calm down for a while. She didn't think too much about whether she would go on stage or not. What she was thinking about was why Shen Ao was here today, and that she could take the opportunity to see more of her little princess. It’s just a few glances.
Suddenly Wu Lian's name was called, and Bai Qiutong just stood there blankly, happy and a little worried.
"Sister Qiutong, let's sing our best song, The Peacock Flying to the Southeast, and let this little poet see the power of our Yanchun Tower." Wu Lian said with determination.
The best Qing Guan in Yan Chun Tower is Bai Qiutong. Her most famous piece is The Peacock Flying to the Southeast from the Han Dynasty. This is also the only work that can be performed well.
"Sister Qiutong, can you use the reputation of the little poet to give our Yanchun Tower a chance to develop? It all depends on your sister. You must complete it well. Are you confident?" Wu Lian looked at Bai Qiutong, with a look in her eyes. Looking forward to asking very seriously.
"Have confidence." Bai Qiutong felt huge pressure at this moment, but she was also full of confidence. The peacock flying southeast was a piece she was very familiar with, and with her understanding, even in the entire Daliang City, she could not find anyone. There is no one who can interpret this song better than her. She believes that if Shen Ao hears it for the first time, he will definitely be amazed.
Yanchunlou was fully prepared, and when the time came, Bai Qiutong, whose face was covered by a white gauze, appeared and entered the venue, immediately attracting cheers from a group of onlookers.
Even if you usually come to Yanchun Tower, you may not be able to see Bai Qiutong, who is known as one of the top ten beauties in Daliang City, unless it is a coincidence. This is also Yanchun Tower's intention, and what you don't get is often the best. Okay, if Bai Qiutong appears frequently, it will only lower her worth.
In the past, even if Bai Qiutong would appear, it would be at the end, as the finale. How could it be like this time, when she performed the first song?
The spectators were shouting with excitement, and Shen Ao looked at Bai Qiutong who walked onto the central stage with great interest, with a vague smile on his face. When his eyes had no meaning with Bai Qiutong, When they bumped into each other, you could see the latter quickly lowering his head, and a blush rushed from his neck to his pretty face.
"Haha, it's interesting. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the management of Yanchun Tower." Shen Ao had a smile on his lips, and he had more judgments in his heart.
Don't think that Shen Ao came here randomly. He must have done enough homework to show up here.
Since the new restaurant needs to be different and have programs to prepare, it must be a blockbuster and new programs must be prepared. Of course, the actors performing these programs must be our own talents. Otherwise, after hard work, they will be making wedding dresses for others, which is a loss. Shen Ao would not do the business.
Shen Ao needed some actors, and after much deliberation, he finally settled on Qing Guoren.
Qinghuo people have low social status. Such people are easier to manage and control. Moreover, they have received professional training since childhood and have a certain foundation. By teaching these people, they can achieve the greatest results in the least time. They are really actors. The only choice for your goals.
All he had to do was sign the contracts of these people to the Duke Zhongguo's office. Even if someone else wanted to spend money and he didn't agree, he couldn't buy it or take it away.
In addition, what Shen Ao needed was not one or two actors, but at least dozens of people. This required a group, so he asked the housekeeper Shen Xing to inquire, and the poorly managed Yanchun Tower came into his sight, and that was how he ended up. A trip.
I originally thought that it would take a certain amount of time to test Yan Chunlou's confidence. But as soon as the popular fried chicken Bai Qiutong appeared, the most popular performer was the peacock flying southeast. Shen Ao knew that the other party regarded him as This was the last straw to save his life. In this way, there was no need for any temptation, and his goal had been achieved.
Bai Qiutong on the stage didn't know this. She was trying her best to adjust to the best condition. But for some reason, Shen Ao was sitting beside her, but she still couldn't calm down. Her chest kept rising and falling. That scene It also caused many onlookers to swallow their saliva.
There are even some customers who are wondering in their hearts, is it possible that Yanchun Tower is changing its recruitment and they are also making a living from sex?
Amid everyone's guessing, the sound of pipa finally came out, and Bai Qiutong slowly got into the mood and sang: "Thirteen can weave, fourteen can learn to tailor, fifteen can play the harp, sixteen can chant. Poems and books. Seventeenth is a gentleman's wife, and her heart is always miserable. As a government official, she keeps her integrity unswervingly, while her humble concubine leaves her room empty, and rarely sees each other. The cock crows into the machine, and there is no rest every night. It lasts for three days. Five pieces, my lord, I think it is too late. If it is not because of the delay in weaving, it will be difficult for your wife! I cannot be driven around, and I am left with nothing to do, so I can send you back in time."
Translated into modern Chinese, the song is: I was able to weave white silk at the age of thirteen. I learned how to tailor clothes at the age of fourteen. I learned to play the harp at the age of fifteen. I could recite poetry at the age of sixteen. I lost your wife, but I often feel pain and sorrow in my heart. Since you have become a government official, of course you will stick to your duties and be dedicated to your duties. I am left alone in the empty room, and the days when we see each other become increasingly sparse. Every day when the rooster crows, I go into the machine room to weave. I can't rest every night. I can cut five pieces of cloth on the machine in three days, but my mother-in-law deliberately thinks that I am too slow and slack. It's not me who is slow and slack in weaving, but your family. It is difficult for my daughter-in-law to serve my parents-in-law. I can no longer stand the driving of your family. It is of no use to stay here and I can no longer drive around. You should report it to your parents-in-law and send me back to my parents' home in time.
The sound of singing continued, and many guests showed intoxication on their faces. From time to time, they would nod their heads and beat the rhythm. It must be said that Bai Qiutong is not only beautiful, but also has excellent singing skills and a good grasp of the heat. It's excellent, proving her talent and hard work.
But soon, a beautiful voice suddenly broke out, which aroused the surprise of some guests who were still enjoying it with their eyes closed. Bai Qiutong was indeed distracted. She found that at some point, the table was already empty. There was no one around, and Shen Ao had left at some point.
