"Mr. Lin, when Wangyue Tower was suppressed and the people were depleted, my mother was anxious, my sisters were anxious, and I was extremely anxious. If Wangyue Tower had no business, it would have no way of living. So I wanted to take part in the Oiran Competition to give it a try.
Bo. With the help of the young master, this matter has actually come true. This is really a great luck."
Lin Jue thought: That is not a fluke. How much effort I have put in and how much hard work you have put in, that is the result of hard work.
"But, recently, I have been thinking whether I made a big mistake. When there was no business in the building, although there was no livelihood, the sisters were actually very happy at that time. I
It can be seen that they don't have to greet people with smiles every day, and they don't have to serve all kinds of people every day. They are actually happy in their hearts. If they don't have to worry about their livelihood, they must be willing to live like that forever. Many sisters are already thinking about the future.
After leaving, some want to join relatives and friends, some want to start a small business, and some want to go back to their hometowns to find an honest man to marry as a wife. In short, many people have actually begun to consider leaving the flower world."
Xie Yingying gently dropped the yellow leaf in her hand. The yellow leaf whirled and fell to the ground, becoming an ordinary and indistinguishable piece together with other leaves.
"However, the oiran was actually taken away by us, the business in the building is booming again, the sisters have customers again, and their previous ideas have been abandoned. Mr. Lin, the slave family feels that they have committed a crime. The fall of Wangyue Tower
Or it was an opportunity. The sisters should have used this opportunity to escape from this sea of misery, but now they are pulled back by me. I...I hope they live well and live comfortably. I don't want them to be trapped in this forever.
In the quagmire. But I personally pulled them back into the quagmire. I was very unhappy, very, very unhappy. Mr. Lin, do you think I am right?"
Lin Jue looked at Xie Yingying quietly, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. Of course Lin Jue had never thought about what Xie Yingying was thinking. In Lin Jue's view, women in brothels should not just welcome guests with a smile, but should they also make a living by pleasing others? However, he did not
Forget that they are also human beings, and they are actually helpless. They also hate this industry. But they are all stained by the sludge and cannot be washed away, so they can only continue to work in this industry until they are old and golden.
But as a person in a brothel, Xie Yingying's feelings are much clearer. She understands the thoughts of the women around her best. An awakened person suddenly realizes that she is doing evil instead of helping others. No wonder she is unhappy.
.
"Miss Yingying, I don't know what to say. When you say that, I feel a little guilty. Maybe I shouldn't help you."
"No, no, no, that's not what I mean, and I don't mean to blame the young master at all. The young master has good intentions to help us, but the slave family still comes to show off, is he still a human being? What the slave family means... in short... what the slave family means..."
Xie Yingying hurriedly explained, her face flushed with anxiety.
Lin Jue waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't need to explain, I understand your thoughts. You want to put them out of misery. You have good intentions."
"Not only them, I think so too. I don't know how long I can hold on. People push me every day, and they all want me. I don't know how many powerful people I have offended. I don't know how long I can hold on.
how long."
Lin Jue frowned and was silent in thought. The setting sun shone from between the trees, and the golden sunlight passed through the gaps between the trees, leaving streaks of bright colors on the ground. A cool autumn wind blew by, blowing the clothes of the two men.
.The branches made a rustling sound, and the next moment, fallen leaves were falling from the sky, flying, turning, and falling to the ground involuntarily.
"Miss Yingying, I have a suggestion that may solve the girl's worries." Lin Jue brushed away a yellow leaf that fell on his shoulder and said.
Xie Yingying raised her head and looked at Lin Jue in surprise.
"That's right." Lin Jue organized his words and said thoughtfully: "What do you think if you are asked to completely withdraw from the Flower World in Wangyue Tower and do your own thing?"
"Quit the flower world and do something else? But... what can we do?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "You have done what you can do in the Oiran Competition, and you have done it very well. That is the repertoire. Has anyone asked you to perform "Du Shiniang" again recently?"
"Yes, of course there is. It happens every day. The slave family had to perform a lot of short pieces in the building. They liked it very much, and a lot of people asked us to perform it every day." Xie Yingying shouted.
Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "That's good. This shows that there is a market. Do you understand what I mean?"
"...What do you mean, young master? I don't understand..."
"Change Wangyue Tower from a brothel to a theater. Wangyue Tower will be the first place dedicated to performing plays in the Zhou Dynasty. This is the way out you want." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"What?" Xie Yingying looked at Lin Jue with wide eyes and surprise: "Is this... okay?"
Lin Juedao: "Believe me, you can definitely do it. That "Du Shiniang" proved that you can. If you are willing to do this, I will try my best to help you. I don't just have the story of Du Shiniang in my stomach, I also have
There are many, many good stories, and I can turn them all into scripts."
Xie Yingying suddenly shouted in surprise: "Really? Isn't this what the slave family hopes for, which can not only support themselves, but also escape from the sea of misery?"
Lin Jue said calmly: "More than just supporting yourself, if you can do well, you will become a star in Dazhou and earn a lot of money. I will never lie to you. Of course, nothing is absolute, and there is also the risk of failure.
I think you should think about it carefully."
Xie Yingying nodded repeatedly and said: "The slave family understands, the slave family understands. As long as Mr. Lin helps us, the slave family has nothing to worry about. I will discuss it with my mother and sisters when I go back. The drama club, hehe, specializes in performing plays. This is really a good thing.
idea."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Don't be happy, they may not all agree. I just gave you an idea, and you need to convince them for the rest."
Xie Yingying said repeatedly: "Yes, I will convince them when I go back. I think it won't be that difficult."
Lin Jue smiled and nodded, looking at the setting sun and saying, "The sun is going down. Can your big car make way for me to go home? I'm very tired after reading for a day."
Xie Yingying apologized repeatedly and happily followed Lin Jue out of the woods. The two carts, one in front of the other, kept a distance and returned to the city.
…
A big news broke in the city of Hangzhou: Wangyue Tower was closed. On the afternoon of the fifth day of September, a group of idlers who came to Wangyue Tower for entertainment suddenly saw a large wooden sign as high as one person in front of the porch of Wangyue Tower, with the words
A notice with two short sentences written on it.
"This building will no longer receive guests from now on, and there will be no Wangyue Tower in Hangzhou from now on."
When everyone was shocked, they discovered that the old signboard that had been hanging on the lintel of Wangyue Tower for twenty years had also been removed, leaving only a gray and empty space with exposed beams that had lost their red paint and dried and cracked.
The news soon spread throughout the city, and the people were stunned.
"What's going on? It's been less than a month since I won the title of Oiran, and it's closed down? The Oiran lady is very popular. There are so many customers in Wangyue Tower, why is it no longer doing business?"
"Is there someone behind the scenes that caused them to close down?"
"No, who would do this? Could it be..."
"Shhh. Don't make wild guesses. I don't think someone is making a fuss. It's been a long time ago. It's been more than 20 days. Wangyue Tower has been bustling for so many days. If there is someone behind the scenes, it won't be allowed.
He has been prosperous for so many days. Besides, even if someone forces him, he will not go out of business. The sign has been taken away. I am afraid that there will be civil strife in Wangyue Tower."
"Tsk, tsk, the oiran's crown is not that easy to carry. Maybe the business will be in chaos instead. From now on, there will be no more Wangyue Tower. Does that mean it will never open again? Isn't it that the oiran got it in vain?"
"Yes, they closed their doors early, but they closed their doors even though they took the courtesan. What do Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion think? Doesn't this make people angry?"
When public opinion in the city was boiling, in the early morning of the next day, gongs and drums were beating loudly and firecrackers were blasting in front of the Wangyue Tower. A new plaque was hung on the gate. On the red gold background were the words "Jiangnan Grand Theater" in five shining characters.
.
Xie Yingying and Xie Danhong, together with a group of sisters, set up an incense table in front of the door to worship heaven and earth. After praying, they all turned around and saluted the onlookers.
"Thank you, Mom, what are you fussing over? Why has the prosperous brothel turned into a grand theater if it is not open?" Everyone asked in a hurry.
"Dear fellow villagers, let me explain to you. My Wangyue Tower has been favored by all of you over the years and has been able to survive to this day. I am deeply grateful to you. But now, the Nu family does not want to open the building down. The reason is inconvenient.
To elaborate, this "Jiangnan Grand Theater" is a newly opened performance venue dedicated to performing dramas and scripts. From now on, this building will be slightly renovated. The performances will start in half a month. Not many of you want to watch it again
"Du Shiniang"? Then you can spend a small amount of money to buy a ticket to watch it. There will be seats, tea, and people waiting on you, so you can watch the show in a down-to-earth manner."
"Oh? I see. This is quite new." Someone said.
"So, what should I do with the oiran lady? You have the oiran, but the building is closed. How can you say that?" someone shouted.
"Please don't use the name of Oiran Madam from now on. I don't want this title anymore." Xie Yingying said crisply: "If you like the slave family, you can come to the show to support me. The slave family will star in every play in the future.
Let me tell you in advance that we will not only have Du Shiniang in the show, but also a new play called "The Peony Pavilion" will be starring in early October. There will be new plays every month. I hope you will be satisfied with the details.
, we will put out another notice to tell everyone."
Some of the people smacked their tongues and shook their heads, some shouted dissatisfied, and they also had a lot of expectations. Wangyue Tower suddenly came to such a show, which really made people feel surprised and admired. Many people experienced the shocking performance at the Oiran Night that day.
People who have achieved results are even more full of expectations.
