Heavenly Dao Formula

...

At the same time, Liu Ruyan took the invitation to the gate of the villa.

"So it's Mrs. Liu." The guard checked the post and handed it back to her, "Please come in. There are attendants leading the way inside, you just need to follow."

"Thank you." After saluting, Liu Ruyan stepped through the gate and walked up the mountain with his attendants.

It was the first time for her to enter this suburban villa.

Everyone in Jinxia knows that this is the residence of Princess Guangping, and before the princess came to Jinxia, ​​it was also a palace that only the royal family was eligible to live in.

The scale of the villa is the best proof.

More than a dozen imposing palaces and pavilions stand by the mountains, connected by gravel paths; flower beds, rockeries, gazebos, and water pools are overwhelming, and there are many exquisite bungalows near the outer edge of the wall. Up, it is estimated that several thousand people will not be crowded.

Liu Ruyan never imagined that she would step into this kind of place one day.

And the inviter was not the princess herself, but Lord Xia Fan.

Turning into a courtyard from the fork in the mountain road, and then passing through a long pavilion along the boardwalk, the two came to a large hall.

"Miss Liu, it's here." The attendant bowed slightly, "Please go in, Mrs. Xia is waiting for you inside."

Liu Ruyan suddenly felt her heart beating violently.

It's not that she hasn't thought about some things, but with her status and identity, this idea, like many fantasies, just flashes through her mind.

She took a deep breath and walked forward into the hall.

Before entering the lobby, Liu Ruyan heard a familiar voice.

The nervousness was reduced by half immediately, she took two quick steps, pushed open the main entrance of the lobby, "Yan'er? It really is you!"

"Ru, Ruyan?" Yan'er looked at her in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"That's what I want to ask you too." Liu Ruyan said while looking around - besides Yan'er, there were more than ten women in the lobby, all of whom looked good. She had some vague impressions of some people, while the other part were strangers she had never met before, "I heard that you also left Zui brothel, but why didn't you come to the school to be a teacher?"

Yanzi hesitated before replying, "Because I'm afraid of seeing you."

This answer stunned Liu Ruyan for a while, "We used to...were we not sisters?"

"Yeah, that's why I feel sorry for you." Yanzi scratched her head in embarrassment, "When you were locked up by the lady boss, I said bad things about you..."

Liu Ruyan stared at her for a while, "Did you think at that time that I didn't know good and bad, and I actually refuted Mr. Zhou's face, or that I wanted to become an official in the secretariat because of my whims?"

Yanzi couldn't help but bowed her head and punched her, "You really know everything!"

"I guessed it," Liu Ruyan couldn't help laughing, "Isn't that what everyone discusses in the Qingyuan Courtyard? I hope to get the favor of a beloved man, and Mr. Zhou is The kind of person who pretends to be good on the surface. If I didn't experience it personally, I'm afraid I would have the same idea as you, right?"

Yanzi raised her head unexpectedly, "...don't you blame me?"

"Well, it's all in the past, there's nothing to blame. If you have to say who is wrong, I think it should be the drunk brothel itself."

"I'm sorry..." Swallow whispered.

"I accept your apology." Liu Ruyan took two steps forward and hugged her gently.

"But having said that, do you know how jealous the other sisters were of you at that time?" Yanzi muttered suddenly after a moment of silence, "Just now, Mr. Zhou was so angry that he was received by Master Xia, and finally he really became a A wife, appeared on the stage with Her Royal Highness and others in the first class of the school. That day was also the day when the Zui brothel suffered the most losses. Nearly half of the sisters decided to find their own way out. I heard that the proprietress passed out. "

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yeah, the people who laughed at you before ran faster than anyone else, of course... including me." Yanzi seemed to relax a lot, "When I just received the invitation from Master Xia, I was still thinking Good luck finally came to my turn, I didn't expect that there are so many girls he called, including you, it seems that I am being self-indulgent."

This obviously half-joking statement made Liu Ruyan laugh. Although she had a somewhat similar state of mind, after confirming that it was not the case, she felt more relaxed.

"Then do you want to be your teacher? The department is short of people recently."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in little ghosts." Yanzi separated from her, "It's annoying enough to hear them quarreling, let alone teach them. After leaving the drunken brothel, I found a job in a cloth shop Color work, you know, I usually like to paint."

"And she also plays the piano very well." Liu Ruyan nodded.

"Forget about the piano. After you don't need to please the guests, there should be no chance to play it again."

At this moment, there was a whisper among the women.

The two interrupted their conversation and looked towards the other end of the hall, only to see a man walking towards this side.

The person who came was the sender of the invitation - Xia Fan.

"Girls, good afternoon." He gestured to everyone to sit down, and he moved a cushion in the center of the lobby and sat down, "Thank you for taking the time to come to the villa. This time, I invite you all because of my fancy." All of you for your outstanding talent and experience in performing."

"One week later, it will be the new year that declares the end of winter and the arrival of new year. Her Royal Highness decided to hold a grand celebration ceremony on this day, and set it as Jinxia's first long holiday. The ceremony will last for three days, and finally There will be many performances in the city in one day, playing music and dancing are indispensable. And this requires the help of everyone to achieve a complete success." Xia Fan smiled, "Although I am in charge of the overall planning and program arrangement, but The specific details still depend on the guidance of professionals."

"My lord, you are too polite." A woman leaned forward and said, "Compared with your helping my little girl, this request is nothing serious."

"Indeed. We may not know anything else, but we still know a thing or two about playing, singing and dancing."

Xia Fan waved his hand, "This is not just helping out, but an extra job, during which the remuneration and necessary subsidies will not be small. If you don't want to accept it, you can ask it at any time—since it's the job of the Bureau, Of course it won't be mandatory."

Not one quit.

Liu Ruyan also had a strange feeling in her heart.

Obviously when showing talent in a drunken brothel, there is always an indescribable boredom and boredom, but at this moment, she doesn't feel repelled at all.

"I understand." Xia Fan nodded after looking around for a week, "That's right - in addition to providing consultation and guidance for the celebration, there is another thing that requires your professional ability, and that is to teach someone to sing."

"Who is that person?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

"Chi."

I seem to have seen this name somewhere...

Liu Ruyan thought for a while, and then showed a surprised expression, "Could it be that she—"

"That's right," Xia Fan affirmed her guess, "She is the dragon girl in the Shenjin Weekly News."
