Chapter 54 The Origin of Kanglefang

Author: Xiyumu

Chun Shiniang shook her head, and a look of remembrance appeared in her eyes: "This is also a knot between our sisters. Since you want to know, I will tell you a long story."

"At that time, my elder sister and us had thirteen people, all of whom were disciples who studied in the Yichun Academy of Chang'an Jiaofang. My elder sister was very good at sword dance and was once loved by the late emperor. Back then, whenever there was a sword dance of my elder sister, countless talents would come to cheer.

The painting saint Wu Daozi also specially painted an extremely vivid painting for his elder sister. He originally thought that the thirteen of us would spend the rest of our lives in the Jiaofangsi, but he never thought that his elder sister met someone who changed her life.

This person's origin is extremely mysterious. He wrote poems and essays for his elder sister in front of our teaching workshop all day long, looking like he was deeply in love. He even spent a lot of money to open a dance shop for his elder sister for performances. He handed the dance shop to his elder sister for management.

A dozen of us sisters want to change this world so that the helpless women will no longer be poor and hungry, and will no longer be reduced to brothel girls. We want to operate the dance floor into a sacred place for women in the Tang Dynasty.

So we accepted many homeless women and taught them singing and dancing in the dance workshop. At the beginning, we also had a lot of fun, and the poor families were willing to send their children to learn the arts.

Alas, it’s a pity that the world didn’t go as expected. Not long after the operation, we found that relying solely on the sword dance song was not a long-term solution. Therefore, we sisters were divided into two factions.

The first group is led by the second sister, and believes that only by surviving first and continuously cultivating more and more geisha singers can make the original idea come true. Therefore, some voluntary women can choose to sell themselves.

The group is led by the elder sister, and believes that as long as you accept selling yourself, you will not be able to turn back.

You have guessed the ending. The dance floor is indeed getting bigger and bigger, and has helped countless women, but it has also become the top entertainment place in Chang'an and Luoyang today - Kanglefang!

And my elder sister left Kanglefang alone after that. Now, she has not met us sisters for more than ten years.”

After Chun Shiniang finished speaking, the few people fell into silence, and the gentle voice of the singer outside the window floated in again.

"I opened the box and saw you writing the day before yesterday."

"The night platform is lonely today, and I am the only one who lives in Ziyunju."

After a song, Chun Shiniang sighed, looked at Xiaolan, and said softly: "Xiaolan, you should be kind to your master. After leaving Kanglefang, she must have lived a very lonely life."

Seeing Chun Shiniang's eyes whirling, Xiaolan couldn't help but turn red, and nodded heavily. Then she slowly said: "Aunt Chun, I met Senior Qinglian a few days ago. From him, I learned from him that my master is now in danger and has no trace."

Upon hearing this, Chun Shiniang sighed in her heart: Qinglian didn't even know that she could say anything to me. It must be what the elder sister meant. Alas, the elder sister's personality is still so stubborn.

Zhu Li opened her lips lightly, nodded and said, "Xiaolan, don't worry, I will do my best to investigate the news about my elder sister! Once there is a clue, I will ask someone to tell you."

After Xiaolan stood up and saluted Chun Shiniang, she whispered: "But I'm going to Chang'an soon, and I can't find my master in Luoyang City in time. If Aunt Chun can find her news, please help me. Xiaolan thanked me in advance."

"Are you going to Chang'an?" Chun Shiniang was quite curious and did not ask. She just reached out to take out an exquisite jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Xiaolan, "Then you put away this item first."

Xiaolan did not reach out to pick it up, but just looked at the green jade pendant in Chun Shiniang's hand and asked softly: "What is this?"

Chun Shiniang smiled and said, "This is the token of our sisters when Kanglefang was established. This is mine. As long as you take this item and go to Kanglefang in Chang'an, there will naturally be someone to receive one or two."

I guess this thing is extremely precious, Xiaolan showed hesitation on her face and did not reach out to pick it up.

Seeing this, Chun Shiniang said, "Please take it away quickly! Speaking of which, this jade pendant was originally a big sister's belonging. It's not a strange thing to give it to you now. And once you go to Chang'an, you can find someone to help in Kanglefang with this token."

After Xiaolan bowed her hand to thank Chun Shiniang, she reached out to take the item. She looked down and looked carefully. She didn't know what material it was. It was extremely cool after buying it. There was a "Ten" carved on it. I don't know if it was the ranking number of their sisters.

This trip not only received news from Yue Ling'er, but also found his master's sisters. Xiaolan was in a good mood and showed great joy on his face.

Seeing that Chun Shiniang was quite caring for Xiaolan, Ling Changfeng smiled and said, "Aunt Chun, when we first came in, I saw that you looked at Xiaolan differently. Have you seen her before?"

When Xiaolan saw her young master mentioning this matter, she thought of her guess just now, and her fair face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Chun Shiniang.

Chun Shiniang smiled slightly and said, "I saw my elder sister's sword mist back then. When I first met Xiaolan, I felt that her temperament was very similar to that of my elder sister. I didn't expect that my elder sister was actually Xiaolan's master."

I don’t know whether what I said is true or not, Ling Changfeng nodded, not intending to go deeper, but just turned around to enjoy another song.

But I heard Chun Shiniang whisper: "Young Master Ling, please bring Xiaolan Chang to the Kanglefang place in the future. Okay, I have to prepare for this courtesan competition, so I will leave first. Let's rest here for now." Before he left, Chun Shiniang blocked the possibility of Ling Changfeng coming to Kanglefang alone.

Looking at Xiaolan's innocent eyes, Ling Changfeng sighed helplessly, drank the cup of tea in one sip, covering up his embarrassment.

"Why, Master, seeing your depressed expression, are you still thinking about what Chun Shiniang told me?" Xiaolan sat back in front of the window and laughed softly.

Ling Changfeng's thoughts were exposed, his face turned red, and he coughed a few times: "Cough cough, of course this is not. I just think about the matter of monk Qingfeng. Let's go, Ningnan Street." After that, he got up and walked out.

As the night became late, the sound of horse hooves sounded on the streets heading to Ningnan Street.

It has been eight days since I left last time.

Sitting in the carriage where he went back, Ling Changfeng and both sighed.

After meeting Lord Wang's body that night, the two of them did not sleep well at home. This time, they naturally felt extremely excited.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the Qi Mansion. When the servant in the gate saw someone coming, he stretched out his head curiously and looked at it, but saw Ling Changfeng and Xiaolan get off the carriage.

He immediately widened his eyes and shouted happily: "Go and report to his wife! The young master is back!" He hurriedly walked towards Ling Changfeng.

"Crying Shan Father Liang Jiu Shaofu"

[Tang] Gao Shi

I opened the box and tears were wet, and I saw you the letter the day before yesterday.

The night platform is lonely today, and it is the only one who lives in Ziyun.

In the past, I explored the wonders of the clouds and climbed to the mountains and rivers.

The same boat is down in the Nanpu River, looking at the moon in the west of the river.

The friendship and wealth are mostly separated, and they plan to live and die.

Where is Jiuyuan, everything is like this.

Jinshan is so majestic that this man is already in a daze.

He always had poor fortunes, and his family returned to poverty after his death.

My wife is traveling far away, but none of my brothers are there.

There are so many hardships on the top of the ten, and one official always laughs at himself.

The sky is about to reach, but the day suddenly ends first.
