Liu Xin smiled and said: "How can you obey my orders? This matter may very well affect your life, so you have to think carefully."
For a woman, what matters will affect her life? When Diao Chan heard this, her heart was in her throat, and her white cheeks were on fire. She said, "A common woman is willing to entrust her whole life to you, and she will never regret it."
"I almost blurted out, but when the words came to my lips, I hurriedly changed my words and said in a trembling voice: "Whatever your lord has ordered, a commoner woman will never dare to disobey it."
Liu Xin shook her hand and said: "This matter is not urgent at the moment. You can think about it slowly. It will not be too late to make a decision after you have thought it through. This..."
A few years ago, Diao Chan was put under house arrest by Liu Xin in the Prefectural Mufu. Whether he could save his life was in doubt, and he had no time to think about his life. Now that he was finally free, Diao Chan found that he had already dealt with the person he once had to deal with.
People have a deep attachment. It is the end of the year now, and another year will pass in the blink of an eye. Diao Chan will also be 29 years old. In that era, she can definitely be regarded as an older leftover girl, but Liu Xin still says there is no rush.
At that moment, Diao Chan couldn't help interrupting Liu Xin with resentment and said: "My lord, a daughter of the people..."
"Miss Diao Chan, please listen to what Liu has to say." Liu Xin was not unhappy at being interrupted by Diao Chan and continued, "Liu is planning to build a grand theater in Xiangyang, specializing in singing, dancing and instrumental music performances.
I want to invite a girl to take charge of the affairs of the Grand Theater and serve as the chief dancer."
Diao Chan was stunned. It turned out that this was what Liu Xin wanted to tell her. However, Liu Xin was right. This matter was indeed related to her life. It was she who had made the mistake. Diao Chan didn't realize it.
She was so ashamed that her pretty face was so red that it looked like it was about to bleed. She raised her head and glanced at Liu Xin quietly, but saw that his face was calm and calm, as if he had not noticed what she was thinking, so she calmed down and said firmly:
"Sir, you don't have to think about it anymore."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "So, the girl agreed."
Diao Chan shook her head and said, "No! Please forgive me for not agreeing!"
"Ah!" Liu Xin was surprised, her expression was stagnant, and she said: "Miss Diaochan, you really don't have to rush to answer. Liu can allow you to think about it slowly, even if you wait a month or two, it doesn't matter."
Diao Chan remained unmoved, shook her head resolutely and remained silent.
If she were a lady from a wealthy family, she might be shy to sing and dance in front of others, but Diao Chan was different. She was originally a dancer raised by Wang Yun, and her love for dance reached the point of obsession. Although she was still young at that time
She is young, so she rarely appears in front of others, but she has been trained since she was a child to please men. Did she change her gender after living in Xiangyang for a few years?
The establishment of the Grand Theater is an important part of Liu Xin's grand plan to maintain Xiangyang's prosperity.
As important administrative and military institutions are gradually moved to Chang'an, the Third Academy of Xiangyang will also become the Third Academy of Chang'an, and the production of white porcelain and Xiang paper will gradually be transferred out. Although with the foundation laid by Liu Xin in recent years, Xiangyang City
With the scale here, it will still become the center of Jingzhou area, or even the entire south. However, with the development of Jiangnan sericulture, silk, tea and porcelain industries, it can be foreseen that by that time, Xiangyang will also have a very important position as the center of the south.
It may not be saved.
Having been operating in Xiangyang for many years, Liu Xin still has a lot of affection for this land and does not want to see it decline day by day. When he met Wang Yun that day, he suddenly thought of Diao Chan and her graceful dancing that day. In this era
lack of entertainment
, an illusion hall in Xiangyang City attracted a large number of customers. If another grand theater was built and some wonderful singing and dancing programs were performed, it would definitely attract many audiences. In other words, Liu Xin wanted to build Xiangyang into a cultural and entertainment center of the Han Dynasty.
In fact, there are singers and dancers who perform songs and dances in brothels all over the country, and many wealthy families also have many singers and dancers. Therefore, if the Grand Theater in Xiangyang wants to succeed, it must be better than others in song and dance programs. Of course, in the end,
A good way is to introduce some drama performances, but in later generations Liu Xin did not like to watch Peking opera, drama, opera and other plays.
There was no way to put forward some plans in this regard. However, although Liu Xin had seen many songs and dances, none of them could be compared with Diao Chan. With Diao Chan's dancing skills and appearance, she was absolutely a blockbuster and became a well-deserved stage star of the Grand Theater.
With the pillars, the Grand Theater can become an instant hit, and together with the Illusion Hall, it can support a new world of Xiangyang Entertainment Center.
Liu Xin, who comes from a later generation, is used to seeing the glory of celebrities. She has also seen how many people want to become a star with countless fans. She can't help but wonder what Diao Chan has with such a good opportunity in front of her.
He refused for some reason, so he had no choice but to continue to persuade: "Miss Diaochan, Xiangyang is a prosperous place, with merchants from the north and south gathering here. Once this grand theater opens, the girl's reputation will be spread all over the world. Please..."
Diao Chan interrupted Liu Xin again and muttered: "My lord, there is no need to persuade me any more. Diao Chan has already decided that she will only dance for you in this life."
Liu Xin was stunned. He was not a dull person. How could he not hear Diao Chan's hidden meaning? Liu Xin admitted that he was a lustful person, otherwise he would not have so many beautiful women. Faced with this famous name
How could Liu Xin be unmoved by Diao Chan, one of the four beauties of all time? What's more, when he learned that he came to this era, he had already thought of plotting against Diao Chan.
With Liu Xin's current identity and status, if he wanted Diao Chan, he believed that Diao Chan would not refuse and would not dare to refuse, but Liu Xin did not do so. In fact, all of Liu Xin's lovely wives and concubines were from
Liu Xin had never used force on any of them, and naturally he would not use force on Diao Chan either.
Although Diao Chan was only a dancer, she was still a young girl who had not yet left the court. It did take a lot of courage to say these words.
During these days, Diao Chan often spent time with Cai Yan, and the two became increasingly familiar with each other, and later they even talked about everything. She clearly remembered that Cai Yan once said to her that a woman's happiness must be achieved by herself.
Cai Yan fought for it and won it, so Cai Yan is very happy now. From the music Cai Yan plays and the Hujia played, Diao Chan clearly feels that Cai Yan lives in happiness every day.
Diao Chan also began to think about her future. She suddenly discovered that she had fallen deeply in love with the person she had been ordered to harm by her adoptive father. Diao Chan secretly made up her mind to follow Cai Yan's teachings and fight for it on her own.
Her own happiness. So she practiced dancing desperately to attract Liu Xin's attention. Unfortunately, Liu Xin was busy with official duties and didn't even have many opportunities to see her. How could she have time to watch her performance?
Today, Diao Chan was full of expectations, thinking that Liu Xin came to her to take her as his concubine, but Liu Xin asked her to preside over the Grand Theater. Diao Chan was actually very smart. She had long heard that Liu Xin was rebuilding the city of Chang'an.
, and also expected that Liu Xin would have one sooner or later.
Heaven will move the whole family to Chang'an. By that time, I am afraid that she will not be able to realize her own happiness in this life. Therefore, she said these words without hesitation. I believe that with Liu Xin's talent,
You should be able to hear what she means.
However, after saying this, Diao Chan became uneasy again. She had already made it clear that it would be fine if Liu Xin was willing to accept her, but if Liu Xin refused to accept her, I'm afraid there would be no room for maneuver.
It's like a gamble, except she's betting on her own
In the future. Moreover, with Diao Chan's intelligence, she had guessed that if Liu Xin didn't want to accept her, after hearing her words, she would definitely force her to host the Grand Theater, and she was incapable of resisting. So, this time
In gambling, she will win thoroughly when she wins, and lose everything when she loses.
Liu Xin was stunned for a long time, and Diao Chan's heart was also twitching for a long time. Finally, Liu Xin sighed and asked again: "Diao Chan, do you really not regret it?"
When Diao Chan heard that Liu Xin did not add the title of girl after her name this time, she felt happy and said quickly: "A civilian girl will never regret it."
Liu Xin suddenly held Diao Chan's slender hands and said solemnly: "Diao Chan, if you are willing, marry into the Prefecture Mufu."
Diao Chan didn't expect that Liu Xin, who usually seemed to be rejecting people thousands of miles away, suddenly became so direct. It was difficult to adapt to it. She opened her mouth but was unable to speak.
Liu Xin didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile.
Diao Chan was completely stunned by this sudden happiness. She was stunned for a long time, and then she came back to her senses. With a "嘤咛", she nodded shyly, lowered her head hurriedly, and never dared to raise it again.
Regarding this result, Liu Xin was not too surprised. When he asked this question, he knew that Diao Chan would definitely agree. Although Diao Chan is a great beauty, he can also be regarded as one of the top rich and handsome people in this era.
, and now is a male-dominated era,
With his own status, being able to ask for her opinion is already a great deal of face for her. Of course, Liu Xin would not do anything against a woman's will because of her status, if Diao Chan hadn't said that first.
In other words, Liu Xin would not take the initiative like this.
However, Liu Xin also had a little regret. Ma Yun had made a three-part agreement with him. If Diao Chan was admitted, all the places for three wives and four concubines would be used up. In Liu Xin's mind, Diao Chan, Da Qiao
, Xiao Qiao and Zhen Mi, known as Luo Shen, should be regarded as the four most beautiful women during the Three Kingdoms period.
This also means that he will not have any interactions with Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and Zhen Mi, unless these three beauties are willing to be maids in his family. However, with the beauty and background of these three people, they are willing
To be a maid of low status? This was the reason for his sigh just now.
Seeing the shy look on Diao Chan's face, Liu Xin suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously: "However, I still need to ask my wife about this matter. You also know that she is the one who makes the decision in this family."
For Diao Chan, these words were like a thunderbolt from the blue. She knew Ma Yun's severity best. Even Zhu Rong, who was not afraid of anything, was subdued by Ma Yun. If Ma Yun did not agree to this matter,
