Fellow practitioners who live in this mortal world with their beauty

Feng Erniang and Xiaoying understood that if Prince Kang and Princess knew that the immortal master had this idea, Cuihonglou would belong to Sanbao Zhenren sooner or later, so they would know everything and say everything.

The girls in brothels are not so glamorous on the outside, but they are also sad and helpless behind the scenes. It is good to be alive without a man to rely on. Who would treat them as serious women.

Love cannot be moved, and even if two people are in love, it will inevitably be tolerated by the world. A servant named Xiaoyu in Cuihong Mansion once said:

“It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover!”

This is a little girl who misses spring and looks forward to getting married eventually. When a man learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he will inevitably be sentimental and sad in the autumn wind.

Before Cuihonglou, Du Shiniang, the courtesan who had a bad fate and wasted her sincerity in vain. She threw away her treasure chest in anger. However, she fell in love with the wrong true love and ended up dying in love. Her soul was returned to the crystal...

"When I return to Zhejiang, I will say hello to Prince Kang. I will rebuild the brothel. Now it is closed to rectify personnel training."

After listening to the two people's introduction to the courtesan of Cuihong Mansion, Sanbao thought secretly and took the time to come up with songs and dances to teach the brothel girls how many twists and turns they had to write for the stage play. They had to arrange the performance as soon as possible to change the ancient romantic place earlier. .

Changes in concepts do not happen overnight. Good scripts and songs must be passed down by word of mouth in order to better subtly influence the thoughts of ancient people.

Brothel patrons and oirans are different from brothel women. They are not prostitutes with "a pair of jade arms that can be used by thousands of people, and a little bit of red lips that can be tasted by thousands of people." Most of them have some talent, otherwise they would not be able to recite poetry, paint, play the piano, and dance.

Sanbao couldn't help but think of a Tianjin tune, coughed a few times, cleared his throat and started singing.

"The bright moon is in the sky and the night is like day,

A prostitute laments that she is in a brothel,

The leaning chair rail frowned,

A while of tears saddened the autumn;

Flowers bloom and fade every year,

When do people become romantic after their youth?

Sun and Moon Shuttle turned gray,..."

"Master Immortal is so talented. The slave singing this little tune feels so sad."

"This is not written by me. I just felt a little emotional in the brothel and remembered the tone of this poem."

"The lyrics of Master Immortal Master's poem are sad and sad in autumn, and this person is pitiful. Can you write it down and let the little girl play and sing it?"

"What's so difficult about this? In the future, I will write some nice songs and teach you to sing them, and change the direction of entertainment in Qing Dynasty step by step."

Feng Erniang took out paper and ink, and Sanbao deliberately did not use a pen, but used Qi to control the ink, and wrote Qin Lou's sad autumn in a swipe.

"Tomorrow, the Taoist master will continue his expedition. If you want to change the family, please report to the princess early and close the business for rectification. I will choose one or two people to teach some singing and dancing when they are free."

"The slave family is willing to join the Immortal Master's sect and learn singing and dancing from the Immortal Master."

"You can't leave. Cuihonglou still expects you to take care of the rectification. Let Miss Xiaoying learn from this Taoist master tomorrow. Cuihonglou will reopen in January at most!"

Sanbao took out several pearls and handed them to Feng Erniang, some were large and some were small. The larger ones were priceless and were given to Princess Kang, while the smaller ones were used as daily expenses for the brothel to renovate.

"There are no guests in Xiaoyu's elegant room. I'll go and ask her to come. Master Xian, please take a look and see if you can sleep."

Feng Erniang took the pearl and turned around to call Xiaoyu. Those who didn't know the truth thought she was running away with her money.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and Feng Erniang led a twenty-nine-year-old girl into the small Yingya room in a hurry.

"Master Immortal, the slave family is just a small fish."

Hearing her speak like pearls, her voice was soft and crisp, and extremely beautiful. I took a closer look at her and saw that she looked innocent, charming and naughty, with flushed cheeks. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and her face was beautiful. , elegant manner, really more beautiful than the one in the painting, how could there be such a beautiful woman as handsome as a pearl.

"I heard that you are good at writing poems and I think you are also good at writing. I specially invite you to accompany me and help me polish some stories so that they can be performed on the stage."

"The Nu family has been favored by the Immortal Master, but I'm afraid that the writing style is difficult to catch the Immortal Master's eye."

"Miss Xiaoyu has outstanding literary talent. Don't be modest anymore. Write a poem about a brothel girl."

Xiaoyu thought for a moment, slowly walked to the paper and ink, and wrote:

It's late at night and the weather is cool, with the pipa half covering my face.

Pearls cover my tearful eyes, and the quilt is cold in the middle of the night.

"It's a really good poem. It describes the misery and bitterness of a brothel girl. Miss Xiaoyu is so talented."

This little girl misses spring and warmth at the same time, and her heart is obviously full of love. She may have someone she likes, and her love is just beginning.

Judging from his poems, he may still have unrequited love, or his courtship failed, and his heart lacks a baby to give him warmth.

"Xiao Yu is ashamed to make Master Immortal laugh."

"She has a beautiful voice and a sweet voice. Her tone is very suitable for singing. She has the potential to become a star. Next, I will learn some new singing techniques from my Taoist master."

"Xiaoyu will definitely live up to the Immortal Master's love and will definitely learn the Immortal Master's singing skills with all his heart."

Next was the renovation design of the brothel. Sanbao made a rough sketch based on the style of the opera house. The structure mainly includes the stage, auditorium, balcony, screen door and supporting rooms.

There are also various designs of clothing, and the cheongsam and gauze skirt are indispensable. This is a classic from the previous world, elegant, noble, pure and romantic.

The stage is the core part of Qinglou. Due to space constraints, Sanbao arranged a large stage facing the hall and small stages on both sides of the second floor directly above the stage.

The large stage is used for singing and dancing scripts, and the small stage is used for performing musical instruments.

The auditorium is another important part, divided into hall seats and second-floor wings. The wing room is the exclusive viewing area for high-ranking officials, nobles, literati and wealthy businessmen, while the rows of seats in the hall are the viewing area for ordinary people.

"Feng Erniang, please renovate this style as soon as possible. The private rooms can be more luxurious, and some tables and seats should be placed in the front row of the hall for people to watch up close."

"Are you the tiles and hooks of a theater building?"

Feng Erniang took the sketch. The more she looked at it, the more it looked like a stage. She couldn't help but ask.

"It's almost the same, but the form of performance is different. They are singing and we are acting."

"You are the boss and you have the final say. Anyway, I don't pay for the expenses."

"You can revise this sketch and order more costumes. Once the song script is written, I will come back at any time to arrange rehearsals. Don't be shocked when the time comes."

Come on, I haven’t heard any opera before, but the music you wrote can still make me sing.

"Haha, boss Feng, please don't cry during rehearsals and performances."

Sanbao laughed, looked at Jiaojiao and said.

"Do you want to experience the world of mortals? My brother will help you write a story, which can be considered as an advance experience."

"Is it true, Brother Sanbao? The items used by the sisters all have their own names."

"You can't use your real name in the script. I will choose a new one and call it Bai Suzhen."

"Brother Sanbao's name is really nice, and the story must be exciting, Xia Jiaojiao...Bai Suzhen..."

Since he wanted to write a script and it had to be passed down to the world, he naturally had to choose a representative work. As early as when Jiaojiao transformed into a human being, Sanbao thought of Bai Suzhen. If it weren't for her wrong skin color, Jiaojiao might have been called Bai Suzhen.

"The Legend of White Snake" describes the tortuous love story between a snake spirit who cultivated into human form and a human being. The story includes plots such as borrowing an umbrella from a tent boat, stealing fairy grass, flooding Jinshan Mountain, broken bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, and Xu Shilin, the son of Xu Xian, offering sacrifices to the pagoda.

It expresses people's praise and yearning for free love between men and women; it expresses people's hatred and resistance to oppressive forces.

"I already have an idea of ​​the story script. I will discuss it with Miss Xiaoyu in detail when the time comes. When the script comes out, you can start rehearsing and try to stage it before the year."

Sanbao has full confidence in the Legend of White Snake. It can be said that it is suitable for people of all ages, whether they belong to rich families or poor people.

"Master Immortal, why don't you find some actors to act? The slave family is worried that they won't be able to perform well."

"No one is born to act. Besides, my scripts are all in vernacular, and there is no singing. Practice makes perfect. Just rehearse a few times."

The girls from the brothel were welcomed and sent off, and their faces were full of smiles even if they were unhappy. This acting skill was enough. Moreover, they had seen many different aspects of life, so it was not a bad idea to imitate them. They did not expect any wonderful acting skills, as long as the story could be spread.

"Thanks to Master Immortal's love, the slave family will definitely arrange for the girls to rehearse carefully and live up to Master Immortal's painstaking cultivation."

"Xiaoying focuses on singing, and Xiaoyu focuses on acting. I believe you will become a big hit, no worse than the brothel courtesans. Cuihonglou will be renovated and rehearsed. I will arrange for the princes and ministers to come to watch."

After some further discussion, Sanbao and Jiaojiao went downstairs and left.

"Er Niang, Mr. Immortal Master is so imposing, Xiaoyu is so nervous."

The little fish girl patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the aura of a superior, invisible pressure, just get used to it."

After all, Feng Erniang is a woman who has been in brothels for a long time. She has never seen anyone before, so she is not surprised.

"I don't think Master Immortal is overbearing, but he is gentle, approachable, and easy to get along with."

Xiaoying's eyes are filled with adoring little stars. Master Xian wants to teach me how to sing.

"I don't know how many lifetimes it took you to burn the incense. Immortal Master Demeng values ​​​​them. Cherish this opportunity. My second mother may be a blessing to you."

I’m not bad either. I’m just a few years older, so why can’t I fall into the eyes of the immortal master?

"The Cuihong Building has been renamed the Qing Theater. The second mother is now an official figure. This is a high-profile event."

"I didn't expect that we poor women would have such an opportunity. Xiaoying and Xiaoyu, you must fight for your reputation and don't let Master Immortal down."

"Don't worry, Er Niang. There is no script, but the tune hummed by Master Immortal is very novel. It will definitely attract attention and be a great success!"
