"The villain is too arrogant, forcing us to rely on our own intelligence to turn defeat into victory. Sister, I did this mainly to vent my anger for you and use An Qianwen, but it was only an afterthought."
Qianru burst into tears of gratitude and couldn't help but express her inner sorrow.
"If I have a strategy like my sister, why worry about not being able to avenge my father's hatred?"
"My sister is not without strategies, but she is too kind-hearted and has too many worries. Your father's revenge may not be impossible to avenge. As long as my sister helps me defeat Sima Jiuniang, I will have my own way to avenge you."
The confidence on Zhao Xianer's face made Qianru feel unprecedented hope.
She was very willing to help Zhao Xianer, but she really didn't know what she could do.
Zhao Xianer did not explain the details clearly, and only asked her to pretend that nothing happened and cooperate with Shopkeeper Tao to run the half-faced peach blossom business.
Among peach blossoms, whoever has the greatest ability to make money will have the most say.
She estimated that Zhao Xianer had many plans, but the most important thing was to start with the word "money".
So, she looked through some more books on folk art, searched for novel tunes from all over, and tried her best to write more good poems.
Sima Jiuniang strongly favored An Qianya to replace An Qianwen. However, An Qianya has a headstrong character. She will be satisfied with a little result, but it will take many days to cheer up after a failure.
In desperation, Sima Jiuniang had no choice but to agree to Shopkeeper Tao's suggestion and choose another dancing girl with an innocent life experience and good looks to join the team.
Banmian Peach Blossom is the most popular song and dance studio in Beijing. As soon as the notice was posted and the news spread, many dancers came to apply.
Shopkeeper Tao, who was good at business, simply organized it into an oiran competition.
The earning power of the oiran is extraordinary, and all the shopkeepers are vying to recommend their own people to participate in the competition, or to win over the stunning dancers who participate in the competition.
Everyone was staring at the people on the table, except Qianru who accidentally spotted a little beggar watching.
Her face was very dirty, but her big, sparkling eyes filled with tears were particularly clear and moving. Her figure was graceful and slender, and she also had two delicate little feet.
When the little beggar saw Qianru looking at his feet, he quickly squatted down and hid his feet in the dirty and torn dress.
"May I have your name?"
"Xiangxiang."
"Do you want to run for Oiran?"
The little beggar Xiangxiang nodded eagerly and asked her to help him.
This is exactly what Qianru wants.
So, she took Xiangxiang back to her residence to freshen up and dress up. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be even more beautiful than she had imagined.
She quickly called someone to invite Zhao Xianer.
Zhao Xian'er also found it refreshing to see the woman in front of her who looked like a lotus. "What a delicate oval face, wide forehead, thin eyebrows, big eyes, and double eyelids. This is a classic Jiangnan beauty!"
Zhao Xianer couldn't believe her ears. Such a rare beauty turned out to be the little beggar Qianru accidentally pulled from the crowd.
"Xiangxiang, what do you know?"
"I can do everything those girls on stage can do, and I can do it better than them!"
What a confident answer.
Qianru then married Qin to accompany her and watched her dance for a while.
Xiangxiang's figure is softer than a willow branch, and this skill can be seen as the foundation laid down since childhood.
If Zhao Xian'er found a treasure, she immediately discussed signing a contract with Xiang Xiang.
"I don't want to accompany you. If you want to accompany you for drinks, the price will be increased tenfold. I'll have to pay 70%."
What a sophisticated statement.
Zhao Xianer interrogated her for a while and learned that she turned out to be a dancing girl who had fled from the south of the Yangtze River.
He is familiar with the road and versatile. Such talents are hard to find even with a lantern.
The contract was signed, and the next day, Zhao Xianer recommended her to compete.
Relying on his extraordinary beauty and strength, Xiangxiang successfully won the position of oiran.
The most profitable "Three Beauties of Allure" are all under Zhao Xianer's influence.
In this quarter's dividends, Zhao Xianer actually got the third place, close to Shopkeeper Tao's share.
Zhao Xian'er was so happy that she booked half of the most expensive private room with peach blossoms to treat guests, and went to Qian Ru's place to hold a small banquet in private to celebrate.
At this time, An Qianwen's injuries were mostly healed.
Zhao Xianer ordered someone to bring them out and asked An Qianwen to pour wine for them.
When he was enjoying his drink, Zhao Xianer suddenly raised his hand and slapped An Qianwen twice, which shocked Qianru.
"Kneel down and apologize to my sister Qianru!"
An Qianwen then knelt at Qianru's feet full of resentment and apologized to her.
"Tell me, what have you done to offend my sister Qianru? If you don't say anything like that, I'll skin you!"
Killing without giving a nod, Qianru saw that Zhao Xian'er was drunk and wanted to stop her, but Zhao Xian'er refused to comply and asked the maid to get her a stick to vent her anger on An Qianwen.
An Qianwen couldn't escape, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it. She did whatever Zhao Xianer told her to say, knowing everything she knew and saying it.
I have been talking about it since I was a child, and I have been talking about it until now.
Although most of them are small and medium-sized calculations, the accumulation is too numerous to describe.
Zhao Xianer took a nap, woke up and saw that An Qianwen had stopped talking, and slapped her again.
"Don't expect me to reuse you. A despicable, sinister and vicious woman like you is not worthy of living a life of superiority. You and Sima Jiuniang are both unworthy!"
Qianru saw that Zhao Xianer had made a mistake in her words and hurriedly stopped her, but Zhao Xianer was not afraid.
"This place is far away from half-hearted peach blossoms! I have endured it for so long before I caught this opportunity to express my bad temper."
Zhao Xianer was so unobtrusive that she actually told the story of designing Sima Jiuniang and An Qianwen.
Unexpectedly, An Qianwen escaped the next day while Qianru was not around, and told Sima Jiuniang everything Zhao Xianer said after drinking.
Sima Jiuniang didn't express anything, but she had doubts in her heart.
So, she also started to plot against Zhao Xianer.
Soon, Prince Gui's Mansion sent someone to place an order and invited the half-faced "Three Beauties of the City" to perform.
Everyone knows the danger, but no one dares to refuse.
Qianru was prepared to die and went to the banquet tremblingly. Unexpectedly, King Gui was not at the banquet.
The person hosting the banquet was Sun Ji, the eldest son of King Gui, a man in his thirties with a sickly face.
It turns out that the reason why King Gui regained his title was because he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the border to quell the chaos.
This is also the direct reason why Gui Wang Fujue has not sought revenge from Qianru for so long.
But this hatred is not unforgettable.
No, as soon as Sima Jiuniang went to instigate him, Changsun Ji became murderous.
However, Sanmei's performance was so intoxicating that Changsunji almost forgot about avenging his father's death. It wasn't until they were about to leave the show after the performance that they ordered someone to take her down.
Zhao Xianer hurriedly asked Qianru to take out King Luo's token, but Qianru couldn't find it.
She suddenly remembered that when she entered the hall, a maid bumped into her. It was estimated that she was taken away at that time.
Fortunately, Xiangxiang was smart. Although she didn't know what was hidden, when she saw the danger approaching, her tears fell like pearls one by one.
Changsunji had never seen someone cry so beautifully, so he felt soft and let her go.
Xiangxiang hurriedly interceded for them, "Your Highness, my two sisters are both kind people. Please let them go!"
Zhao Xianer saw that Sun Ji was hesitant to look at the beauty, so he seized the opportunity and blamed Sima Jiuniang for all the grudges between Qianru and King Gui.
". She just hated General Shangguan for spanking her, and in order to avenge herself, she lured the prince to Haitang Pavilion. She didn't know whose benefit she was receiving, and what she was worried about."
Changsun Ji also suspected that his father had been manipulated by others, otherwise it would not have been possible for Zhonglun to lead his troops there by coincidence.
In order to protect herself, Zhao Xian'er's mind turned quickly and she paired Sima Jiuniang and Yi Zhonglun together.
"My sister Qianru is innocent. She mistrusted Sima Jiuniang and signed a contract to harm others. She narrowly escaped death and is now covered in scars. She can't even wear thinner clothes."
Changsunji ordered someone to take Qianru down for a physical examination, and found that it was exactly what Zhao Xianer said, so he did not want to overly anger an innocent woman.
However, An Qianru actually had King Luo's token to protect her, which made him a little suspicious.
So, he ordered someone to take the token and question it.
It was originally a story that sounded sad and made people cry. Qianru had nothing to make up and had told the truth.
"When Yi Zhonglun learned that the prince was restored to the title, he was worried about retaliation, so he drove the slave away in order to reconcile with his wife Xu. The slave had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to join Sister Zhao."
Changsunji couldn't find any mistakes, and couldn't bear Xiangxiang's cries and pleas, so he let her go in a moment of soft-heartedness.
In order to express their gratitude to Changsunji, the three sisters tried their best to treat Changsunji to a feast for his eyes and ears. Then they took turns toasting to make him drunk and left safely.
On the way back, Qianru thanked Xiangxiang profusely, but Zhao Xianer laughed inappropriately at the side.
"Is there something wrong with me?" Qianru blushed.
"As the saying goes, a great favor cannot be thanked. My sister is full of knowledge, but she has forgotten this simple truth. From my point of view, there is no need to thank you at all. This is the fate given to us by God. The three of us should become sworn sisters and support each other in times of trouble.
Sisters, what do you think?"
Qianru and Zhao Xian'er were already Jinlan sisters. They only waited for Xiangxiang to nod before the three of them decided on their sisters' names.
The next day, when they returned to Banmian Peach Blossom, under the witness of everyone, the three of them formally worshiped under the peach tree in the inner courtyard.
"Our sister Xiangxiang should be called sister Pearl. She looks so pitiful and pitiful. I feel so pity for her!"
When Xiangxiang saw Zhao Xianer making fun of him, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and looked like he was about to cry, asking them to coax him, which made everyone laugh.
"The 'Three Beauties of the City' married Jinlan, which is truly a good story!"
Shopkeeper Tao praised it so much, as did shopkeepers Wen and Xia. Only Sima Jiuniang laughed in embarrassment.
Zhao Xian'er took the opportunity to tell her about the thrilling experience in Prince Gui's Mansion yesterday. Everyone was amazed and called Xiang Xiang "Pearl Beauty".
Sima Jiuniang didn't know that Zhao Xian'er had falsely accused her in front of the eldest son of Prince Gui, Sun Ji, and pretended to be nothing, just watching the excitement.
At this moment, Fu Sheng, the waiter who was taking the guests, hurried over to report, "A carriage dropped a bloody bag at the door. It looked like a person."
