Wang Zhu said that the two of them were in charge of serving tea to the dancing attendants, which was a logistical task. Wei Luo had long been accustomed to this kind of work, so she quickly found three young men who were also serving tea and busied herself with them in the kitchen. These three young men were attending to the crowd of young people in the fifth room, taking a different route from Wei Luo's.
The life of a tea servant is quite easy, but there's one bad thing about it - they have to stay by the side of those dancing boys and be ready to serve at any time.
Wei Luo and Su were two people, one was born too dark, the other too beautiful, both very eye-catching. Although Wei Luo quietly made herself whiter, her coarse black skin was known to many in the team, she couldn't suddenly become like ordinary people.
Two people stood in the corner, deliberately applying a layer of powder to their faces with pot ash in order not to draw attention. Although it was still visible upon close inspection, after doing so, those beautiful young men who were practicing dance had a slightly better attitude towards him. And when Wang Zhu looked at him, he no longer had an expression of reluctance.
"Good!" Wang Zhu slapped his hands together and stood up, he came to the front of the group of dancing boys and said loudly, "From tonight on, it will be our turn to perform for the Prince of Jinling! At that time, all the nobles from Xintian City will arrive, you all know this. What I want to say is, we need to please the most honorable prince in Jin State! If you all perform well, maybe you can win the favor of one of the nobles and bring back wealth and honor, not to mention getting a large sum of money, no need to worry about being old and poor. But! If there's any mistake, death will be just around the corner!"
When he said the last few words, his voice was low and cold. At this time, it was not only him, but also the beautiful young men who were all frightened.
Wang Chu scanned the crowd, it was early morning now, and the nobles had not yet arrived, so Wang Chu could speak freely.
He looked at the crowd that had become serious, nodded in satisfaction. With a glance, Wang Yu saw Su, who was covered with soot and standing in the corner with his head down, not speaking. His voice rose slightly as he stared at him and said, "Su?"
"Ah? Really!"
Wang Zhu looked at Su, who had hesitated for a moment before reacting, and didn't get angry. He said, "Since you're no longer one of us, it's better to be cautious tonight." After a pause, he added, "The pot ash is quite good, apply it when you're in a dark place at night, it might come in handy."
At this, both Wei Luo and Su were slightly surprised. Neither of them had expected that Wang Shi would directly approve of Su's method of smearing pot ash on her face. After exchanging a glance with each other, Su clasped her hands together and said in a low voice: "Yes."
Wang Zhu no longer looked at the two of them. His voice rose and he said loudly, "From this moment on, everyone will go to the main hall to dance together. The host needs to practice."
All the young men bowed their heads and replied: "Yes."
Are you all coming out?
Wei Luo's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited. In the several months she had been with the caravan, she had only caught a glimpse of him on the day they entered the city, and that was just a glance at his back. As for this renowned beauty, the central figure of the entire Song Girl Caravan, she had always admired him from afar.
Many young people followed Wang Zhu's lead and walked out one after another. When Wei Luo and the others also walked out of the room, they found that there were boys and girls walking out of every room, and everyone was moving towards the largest central room.
Before long, hundreds of song and dance girls arrived in the largest room. These young men and women were all beautiful and elegant, and with so many people gathered together, it was dazzling to the eye.
However, Wei Luo also knew that many of these young boys and girls were picked up from the streets as virgins, and they would eventually be sent away or taken back by their families. By the time they left Xin Tian, there were only a few dozen people left.
Hundreds of young men and women stood together, some wearing thin shirts that barely concealed their skin, while others wore extremely elaborate and colorful clothing, looking like a flock of peacocks. At this moment, all the young people were silent, standing quietly, waiting for the arrival of everyone.
Wei Luo and others waited for a while but didn't see Mei Da, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. They still had to clean up the messy third house and prepare tea for the young people, so they no longer had time to dawdle in order to catch a glimpse of the great beauty.
When Wei Luo and Su had finished sweeping the room, preparing tea, and were about to return, the sound of music floated from the main hall, with the continuous sound of the sheng, the chiming of the zhong bells, and the distant sound of a bustling and prosperous scene.
As soon as Wei Luo and Nianzhong entered, they spotted Mei'er among the crowd of young men and women. Unfortunately, Mei'er's face was covered with a thick layer of gauze, only revealing her eyes and above. Mei'er's skin was extremely delicate and white, like pearls emitting a radiant glow, which was dazzling. Her figure was also very plump, with her chest protruding high, and every jump made her breasts tremble uncontrollably, as if they were about to burst out of her clothes.
There were also some dignitaries in the room, most of whom were middle-aged men with big bellies and oily faces. Wei Luo glanced over and found that among the dignitaries, there was a man who was thirty-three or four years old, with a slender face and somewhat handsome features, sitting half-reclined.
This noble's hair was scattered on his shoulders, and his clothes were not particularly luxurious. However, Wei Luo saw at a glance that all the nobles around him had a flattering smile when facing him.
At this time, Wang Zhu led a young man with a delicate appearance to the nobleman's presence. He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, saying: "How does your lordship find this young man?"
The young master lazily glanced at the youth and said faintly: "Turn around."
"Yes."
The young man responded with a "yes" and turned his body around, turning his back on the marquis.
The young master glanced at his hips and shook his head, saying: "Although he looks like a virgin, he lacks a clear air, his waist is thin but too soft, his buttocks are round but lack strength."
The young master slowly spoke, his gaze at Zhen's smiling face was a bit pale.
The Marquis said after finishing, picked up his wine and slowly savored a mouthful, saying lightly: "Such goods, in the future do not need to be offered to me."
"Agreed."
Wang Zhu hastily responded with a sound, waving his hand to signal the young man to leave. His eyes flickered for an instant, noticing Su, and his eyes involuntarily lit up. However, that light only flashed for a moment before extinguishing.
Wei and Luo did not notice the situation here, their eyes were all on the crowd.
The drumbeat stopped, and with a flourish of her long sleeves, she froze in place. The young men and women following her dance steps also came to a halt.
With a wave of her long sleeve, a soft and gentle voice was heard, "Go take a rest for a while."
All the young men and women bowed their heads in unison and retreated as ordered.
Everyone twisted their waists and walked in the direction of that Lord. As she approached, Wang Zhu and others hastily retreated to one side. That Lord saw her coming, took a deep breath, and chuckled: "The sweat of a beauty is also very fragrant!"
Everyone smiled and glanced at him with a thousand charms, she sat down beside the Marquis on the couch, and asked in a soft voice: "How do you think of this dance, my lord?"
Marquis Hou shook his head and tapped a few times with his right hand, saying: "It's no different from last year."
Everyone was suddenly worried, under the veil, she lightly knitted her eyebrows and sighed: "I have rewarded ten kilograms of gold, but I hope someone will teach me. Alas, Moon Lady has also come to Xintian this time, I'm afraid I will lose."
She said this with a tone of helplessness in her voice.
Su Shouzhao leaned in close to Wei Luo and whispered, "Did you hear that? I have a plan that can earn us ten taels of gold! Ten taels of gold, with that we can live a carefree life, herding cattle on the southern mountains and sailing boats on the northern waters. It's truly something to yearn for."
Wei Luo couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Ten kilograms of yellow copper was no small amount. If she had it, she could also leave the Prince of Jing's residence. Moreover, her experience as a person from two lifetimes gave her hundreds or even thousands of ideas in her mind. Any one of these ideas could get her the reward of ten kilograms of yellow copper from the Marquis of Dongping.
But she couldn't.
You're still too naive, this is a chaotic world. With such weaklings having so much money, the consequences are quite frightening.
