Chapter 332: The Outdated Top Brand
Huang Zaisheng is always talkative when it comes to gossip. It is both his nature and a professional habit.
"She is a daughter born out of wedlock to the Marquis of Wu'an. There are so many illegitimate daughters that it is difficult to tell which one she is. But it is rumored that the illegitimate daughter had a very good relationship with Madam Peng before she got married. They kept in touch after they got married and she often stayed at the residence of the Minister of War. But in fact, she had a secret relationship with Minister Peng...ah, I don't know whether it is true or not." Huang Zaisheng talked about it with relish in one breath without any hesitation.
Zhou Chang finally figured out what happened at the Peng faction's mansion.
It's a pity that Ma Feihu has passed away, but he really helped the Peng faction solve a big problem.
"That may not be the case," Huang Zaisheng continued to talk fluently, "but if it is true, given Madam Peng's personality, she would have made a scene long ago... Madam Peng is so strict with her husband, but always willing to grant her son's requests. Master Peng spends money like water..."
"Does Prince Duan come here often?" Zhou Chang was no longer interested in Peng's affairs.
Huang Zaisheng suddenly became alert.
Zhou Chang almost forgot that Prince Duan is now the real boss of Yaoyuefang.
When I think about this, I can’t help but feel heartbroken.
He took out a hundred taels of silver and gave it to Huang Zaisheng, then simply sent him away.
Huang Zaisheng thanked him profusely: "If Your Highness needs anything, please feel free to call me. The routine night dance performance will begin soon. The performance of the flying flower fairy Miss Liu'e will definitely not disappoint Your Highness."
Liu E?
Zhou Chang was still very impressed with the name, and it immediately brought his memories back to the boat.
Unexpectedly, Yang Jiao is no longer alive, but Liu E is still here.
And Xiqiao, she should be following Manager Li, but why have she never been seen beside Manager Li?
Zhou Chang couldn't ask any more questions, otherwise it would never end.
However, she secretly made up her mind to just take a look here and never go down or participate.
It is better to have less trouble than more. As the King of Yi, she already has enough things to deal with.
Huang Zaisheng left, but not long after, he sent two more girls to accompany him.
One of them was actually an "old acquaintance" - Miss Handan.
Wow, Huang Zaisheng is so enthusiastic that he even sent the top performer of Yaoyuefang over.
He really thinks highly of Prince Yi.
But how much money would this cost? How could Prince Yi afford it?
"This girl is so beautiful, just like a lotus emerging from water. Could she be the top girl here?" Zhou Chang pretended not to know her.
As for the other person next to Handan, he looked much inferior and there was no need to mention him at all.
Without waiting for Huang San to speak, Handan chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. There are many new talents in Yaoyuefang, and Handan is no longer considered the top star."
"Yes, yes, of course. Your Highness has a discerning eye. If it wasn't good, how could I dare to send it to serve Your Highness?" Shopkeeper Huang San apologized with a smile.
"That's good." Zhou Chang breathed a sigh of relief. The five thousand taels of silver deposited at the counter was just a mortgage. She didn't want to spend it all.
Although the lotus is still the same
Zhou Chang then realized that although Handan was as graceful as before, the arrogance in her eyes was gone. It was probably true as she had just said, that the old had been replaced by the new, and her position as the top star was no longer secure.
But no matter what, she didn't want to "enjoy it" and wanted to refuse, but she took the occasion into consideration.
As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so he waved to the two of them and said, "Come and sit down."
The two men sat on Zhou Chang's left and right respectively.
We drank and ate while waiting for the show to begin.
Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Anyway, once the box is opened, some of the money cannot be refunded.
Zhou Chang also didn't forget about Shou Hou and Gao Yuan: "We won't leave tonight, why don't we get another room for you guys and order a banquet?"
Everything in Yaoyuefang is luxurious and comfortable, and she also wants Shouhou and Gao Yuan to go along and see it for herself.
The skinny monkey was fine, but Gao Yuan immediately broke off the fight.
The skinny monkey didn't want to waste anything, so he just said that he was following the prince here and anything he ate was fine.
As a result, the skinny monkey ate and drank, and drank up the two pots of wine on the table, one red and one white, and then shouted that he felt sleepy and uncomfortable.
Zhou Chang still asked someone to open a room downstairs, and Gao Yuan helped the person down.
When Gao Yuan came back again, he just wanted to guard the door.
Zhou Chang advised: "It's better for him to fall asleep. He has no use here. But you, do you want to call the two girls?"
Gao Yuan shook his arm violently, and every pore of his body showed rejection: "Your Highness, there are all kinds of people here, so I'd better guard the outside."
"If you feel uncomfortable here, just get another room to sleep in." Zhou Chang felt that Gao Yuan actually deserved more exposure.
Gao Yuan ran away as if he was bitten by something.
Zhou Chang had no choice but to give up. Some things cannot be forced: "No, you should eat something too. It's a long night. If you feel sleepy later, go find the monkeys. If you are hungry, ask them to serve more wine and food. It will all be charged to my account."
Gao Yuan shook his head, said no more, and just hid away.
There were two gorgeously dressed girls sitting on Zhou Chang's left and right in the room, making him feel very uncomfortable.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, Zhou Chang sat down at the window fence in the private room, with the two girls flanking him on his left and right.
In the lobby on the first floor, a piece of pipa singing had just ended.
The dance and skills performances officially began.
More than a dozen women in colorful gauze came out from all sides of the circular venue and danced. The gauze was thin and their bodies were barely visible underneath.
They danced to the drums, their movements small but extremely gentle.
Zhou Chang felt that the dance style was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
At this time, Handan had drunk a lot of wine, her face was flushed, she leaned on Zhou Chang's shoulder and looked out, quite disdainful: "Your Highness, these women are all prisoners of war from the Mirage Kingdom, new to the market, and most customers find them interesting. Unfortunately, when they dance, they can only twist their bodies, as if there are bugs crawling on their bodies, I'm sure they won't catch your eye."
"Have you ever seen women on the battlefield?" Zhou Chang also recognized that these were not the dancers from the Mirage Kingdom at the New Year's Eve banquet. "They are not prisoners of war. At most, they are victims of the war."
No wonder, they are probably the same group of people as those at the New Year's Eve banquet. Their movements are similar, except that the shackles have been replaced with gauze.
Handan shook her head: "I don't know, these dancers were sent here after the New Year, and they stole the limelight as soon as they arrived."
Zhou Chang glanced at Handan's drunken face, which was full of loneliness, and sighed in his heart.
“You only hear the laughter of new people, but not the crying of old people” is true everywhere.
It is unexpected that a girl as beautiful as Handan would be eliminated in less than two years. How cruel this world is.
The dance ended and the woman from Mirage Country left the stage.
The drums and music continued, and the soft tune became lively. Everyone seemed to be concentrating and holding their breath, waiting for something.
