Three hundred and fortieth chapters everything is ready
When leaving, Ying Huai said, "You guys are waiting for my news."
Shen Xingwan and the others began to make final preparations. The escape route after the event was completed must be planned in advance, and the tools needed to do it must also be prepared.
They have already obtained the map of the royal city and the distribution map of the royal palace.
Fortunately, people in Beirong used to live in tents. Although there is a palace now, compared with the palace in Shengjing, the palace in Beirong is simple.
While waiting, Du Langjun sent people over again, but they were all wiped out again.
Lin Niang and Liyan took people directly to the place where they lived and killed them, killing half of their people, which was considered a warning.
He was testing, so they wouldn't be polite to him. Sure enough, speaking with fists was more intimidating, and they finally became quiet after that night.
Just in case, after the last group of thieves managed to sneak into the royal city, Shen Xingwan and the others moved again, changed their identities and hid in the Fireworks Land of Shangluo.
Shen Ruoyan went out to explore at night, "Du Langjun and the others are also gone, and the place where they live is empty."
Two waves of people quietly disappeared in Shangluo overnight, and no one noticed. Anyway, there are many vendors and businessmen coming and going in this place.
The two of them were practicing dance and piano in a decent manner. Shen Ruoyan complained while practicing, "This is really embarrassing for my old back. I haven't danced for several years."
On the fifth day, Ying Huai finally brought good news.
Their situation is special, ordinary song and dance studios dare not take over, and it is not easy for them to enter.
Ying Huai found a relatively small singing and dancing studio for them. The mother of that house was planning to sell her assets and run away to a safe place to live in retirement.
She has a very good relationship with "Jiu Huating", the most famous song and dance studio in Wangcheng, and often provides each other with good-looking young men.
"I promised to give her a large sum of money and said that you would like to find a good career in a large singing and dancing studio." Hua Xi explained to them carefully, "Normally she may not do such a thing, but she has to run away anyway. It's gone, so I'm going to make a profit, and if something happens it has nothing to do with her."
"Thank you very much." Shen Xingwan thanked him.
"Mother Zhou will come to see you in person tomorrow, but it's not certain whether it will happen or not," Hua Xi said.
Shen Xingwan rehearsed with Shen Ruoyan overnight, and they were both well-informed. When Jiangnan was at its peak, it was a top city, and the singing and dancing there were top-notch in the world.
The two of them put a lot of effort into their clothes and makeup, and chose a very famous song from Jiangnan. Even if they only brought out a third of the charm of the original song, it was enough to fool them here.
The next day, a carriage stopped outside the courtyard.
Hua Xi personally led a mother in her forties in, and Shen Xingwan and Shen Ruoyan greeted her at the door.
As soon as Zhou's mother came in, her sharp eyes swept over the two of them, "If someone with this kind of beauty catches their eye, she can really find a way out."
Although she was born of mixed blood, according to regulations, she could only be a noble's concubine, but for those at the bottom, it was already a good way out.
Hua Xi coughed and said, "You two sisters must have met Zhou's mother."
"Hello, Mother Zhou." The two greeted them gently.
Zhou’s mother took the main seat unceremoniously and said, “Let’s show off our talents.”
Shen Xingwan plays the piano and Shen Ruoyan dances. The sound of the piano is quiet and the dance is light. It is completely different from the passionate and passionate dance here in Beirong. What is important is this freshness.
Soon after the song ended, Huaxi smiled and asked, "What do you think, Mom?"
Zhou’s mother took a sip of tea and said, “With this appearance, figure, and talent, I can become the most popular oiran in the three major song and dance studios.” She rolled her eyes and said, “People don’t talk secretly, and Shopkeeper Hua is a straightforward person.
For an extra two thousand taels, I promise to send the person in for you without arousing any suspicion."
"The people in Huatingfang are all good people. They won't want people with unknown origins. They really can't get in without me."
This means that there is something wrong with their origins. It is true that they suddenly appear with outstanding appearance and talent. It is difficult not to arouse suspicion. If there is no knowledgeable person to cover up, it really cannot be explained.
Hua Yan said generously, "As long as Mama Zhou helps me handle this matter, I will give Mama Zhou an extra two hundred taels for her hard work."
Mother Zhou was satisfied, and her smile became more and more sincere, "You two girls, please find time to move to my place."
Huaxi sent Zhou's mother away and promised to send her there in the evening.
Shen Xingwan said, "I will pay you the total amount of money."
"No, I still have this. My sister's friends are my friends, so don't be polite to me." Hua Xi quickly refused, "Mother Zhou has always been reliable in her affairs, so don't worry."
In the evening, when it got late, the three of them took a carriage and were led by Huaxi to the westernmost courtyard. The environment here was quiet and there were not many people living there.
Hua Yan introduced them to them, "Those who do this kind of business usually teach and entertain guests with the sound of strings, bamboos, and piano, so they usually live far away from the crowd. These girls are kept in the inner courtyard of the boudoir to increase prices."
Mother Zhou personally waited at the door to welcome them in, and arranged them in the yard, which had a room specifically for dance practice.
Hua Xi happily gave half of the money, "Of course you can negotiate for any amount of money, and it will belong to mom."
Zhou’s mother immediately smiled and said, “Shopkeeper Hua is indeed a cheerful person!”
After the three of them were settled, Hua Xi left with peace of mind.
As expected, this mother Zhou was quite capable. She did not immediately send them inside, but gave them "special training."
For example, their miserable life experience, how they were forced to sell themselves to her five years ago, and the rules and industry insiders that they should know as artists in a singing and dancing studio. They must know all of these, so as not to reveal their secrets when the time comes.
Shen Xingwan memorizes from dawn to dusk every day, and at night she has to accept assessments from Zhou's mother. She feels like she is dreaming of going back to high school. She has only memorized things before the college entrance examination. She has studied so hard.
Shen Ruoyan lost her energy after being tormented, and couldn't help but lament, "It turns out that it's not easy to have a good job."
About ten days later, Zhou’s mother finally announced that they had barely passed the test.
Shen Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief, "If it doesn't work, I really have no choice."
Zhou's mother probably took the money, but she was very kind to them from beginning to end, "I've already sent someone to deliver the message to Huatingfang. You two girls can just wait with peace of mind."
I'll get a reply soon, and I'll come out to inspect the goods in three days.
Yes, in their eyes, these poor women are just rare "goods" that can be lived in.
Taking advantage of these three days, Zhou's mother taught Shen Ruoyan's dancing skills and made beautiful clothes for them. Of course, these are all at separate prices.
Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but complain behind her back, she was indeed a business owner, and she was really good at making money.
Under the guidance of Zhou's mother, the two of them prepared a few more songs to avoid revealing their secrets.
Everything is ready, all we need is east wind, everyone can wait with peace of mind.
