The two of them entered the imperial city of Beirong smoothly. Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but look out through the corner of the car curtain. It felt really different from Shengjing. The street buildings here gave people a wild and wild feeling. Coarse minerals give people the same feeling as the Beirong nation.
The streets were bustling with activity, and the entire royal city seemed unaffected by the war.
The carriage walked for a while and finally arrived at Huatingfang.
"Girl, please get out of the car." A woman said.
The two got out of the car and looked at Huatingfang in front of them in surprise, as if they had never seen the world.
As one of the three major singing and dancing halls, Huatingfang has a natural layout. The whole place covers a wide area and is large and gorgeous.
Manager Zhang took them in through the side door. The front yard was where guests were received. Go all the way to the back, where the girls lived.
Both of them were beautiful and talented, and had already been trained. Manager Zhang did not want to trouble them, and directly arranged them into the superior courtyard, and also sent a little maid named Chuntao to wait on them.
"You guys have a good rest today and start studying with the master tomorrow," Manager Zhang said.
The two of them responded obediently, "I know what's going on."
Lin Niang was assigned to help with chores in the kitchen. Shen Xingwan was not worried because she was very capable.
As soon as Manager Zhang left, Chuntao said sweetly, "Young lady hasn't eaten yet, I'll go to the kitchen to bring her food."
After saying that, he ran away quickly, leaving only two people in the room.
Shen Ruoyan said, "The treatment seems pretty good."
Shen Xingwan said, "If I don't live up to expectations, I'll be doomed immediately."
This kind of place is not a charity, it is cruel and realistic.
While they were having a meal, Manager Zhang brought back a pair of sisters and moved directly into the Superior Courtyard. All the girls in Huatingfang knew this.
The higher the net worth, the more popular the person, the better the treatment, and everyone wants to be admitted to the Upper House.
With the addition of two powerful newcomers, the girls directly formed a team to visit, and they were very rude.
The two of them kept their persona and always looked gentle, and they also met many girls from the dance studio.
Starting from the second day, the two of them followed the class and studied, and they were able to cope with it.
Soon Shen Xingwan got a lot of information from Chuntao. For example, some of the girls who went out here were favored by princes and nobles. The once most famous poppy was favored by the emperor and became a member of the emperor's harem. Although she was The most inferior, but still desirable.
I know that the most popular one right now is Miss Feixu, who will be dancing at the fourth prince’s house in a few days.
Shen Xingwan looked calm on the surface, but in fact, her mind moved, and the opportunity she wanted came.
When it was time to rest in the evening, Mrs. Lin finished her work in the kitchen and took the time to talk to them. Chuntao had already disappeared without a trace.
Shen Ruoyan was sitting near the door. She would be the first to notice when someone came.
The two exchanged messages in low voices.
Shen Xingwan talked about what happened at the fourth prince's house. It turned out that the fourth prince was going to entertain guests.
In fact, the fourth prince is the biggest backer of Huatingfang. This is not a secret garden in Huatingfang, so the performances at his banquets are usually performed by people from Huatingfang.
It is also a banquet that girls rush to go to, just in case a nobleman takes a fancy to her.
Mrs. Lin is honest and capable in the kitchen. Everyone knows that her two daughters are good-looking and may have gotten out of here, so it's okay to treat her.
She also heard a lot of news.
"Are we going to fight for this opportunity?" Lin Niang said, "If we fall in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, our chances will be much greater."
Shen Xingwan has not made up his mind yet, "There are risks. If the fourth prince or others take notice, things will be in trouble."
They must be cautious and find a way to get to King Beirong.
"I'm observing." Shen Xingwan said.
It was Manager Zhang who finally made Shen Xingwan make up his mind. Manager Zhang came to meet the sisters in person and asked the master how they were doing in their studies.
"The manager's vision is still as vicious as ever. Both girls have good foundations and learn things quickly." The master flattered them.
Manager Zhang waved his hand for her to go down first and asked the two of them, "Are you still used to it?"
"I'm a little tired, I'm used to it."
"How are you studying the program I asked you to arrange?"
"It's all done."
Manager Zhang showed a satisfied smile. She asked someone to investigate the identities of the two, and the other girls sold by Zhou's mother confirmed that there was indeed such a pair of sisters, and they were the most attractive to Zhou's mother.
Only then did Manager Zhang make up his mind to re-employ these two people.
In fact, the real Yu Yan and Yu Ning were secretly sold to a passing wealthy businessman from Huaxi. No one except Zhou's mother knew about this.
The other girls had been sold long ago, and they had no idea that Shen Xingwan and the others had taken over the identities of the sisters.
This closed-loop bureau is indeed beautifully done. Zhou’s mother made a profit in just a few days, but she has already taken the money and left.
Manager Zhang said, "There is an opportunity right now. If you two stand out, you might become the second poppy."
Shen Xingwan's eyes widened in surprise, "Didn't that sister enter the palace? Can we do the same..."
It was probably too loud, and the voice was trembling.
Recently, the Fourth Prince will send a group of dancers to the palace. I have won a spot for you to perform at the Fourth Prince's mansion. If you can be chosen, it will not be a problem to rise to the top in one step.
The two of them said half frightened and half excited, "Thank you, steward."
Manager Zhang snorted coldly, "You have to give me credit."
"yes."
...Shen Xingwan has learned that the three chief stewards of Huatingfang have formed their own factions and have been fighting constantly. Each has its own ace girl, but something happened to the most powerful one in the hands of steward Zhang some time ago.
The fourth prince released such news again, and naturally she was not willing to let it go, so she looked everywhere for a pretty girl and almost gave up. Mother Zhou unexpectedly gave her a pair of sisters like this.
Manager Zhang was very confident in their looks, and sisters were also a rare selling point. The two worked well together, so she decided to bet on them.
"You have practiced hard these days. If you are selected, good times are not far away." Manager Zhang offered the two of them a pie, and the two obediently agreed.
Since they were selected to be sent to the palace, they must seize this opportunity no matter what.
There are six girls recommended by Huatingfang this time, and the one with the highest voice is Feixu.
The fourth prince didn't know who to choose, so the competition was fierce. Several stewards all took on the attitude of determined to win.
Lin Niang asked worriedly, "Are you two sure?"
After all, the two of them are just trying to catch up. They are professionals in this industry, so they may not be able to do it well.
"You have to do it even if it doesn't work." Shen Xingwan said.
If such a good opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to encounter it again. It is really impossible and I can only feel sorry for those girls.
She was not the only one who had this idea, so the next day Chuntao told her with a gossipy face that one of the girls selected to go to the banquet fell on the stairs today and her ankle was seriously injured. She didn't know if she could still dance.
