As expected, Lou Lan'er successfully broke into Qingxiang Tower and has been working as a dancer in the restaurant for a week.
There are twelve people in the dance band of Qingxiang Tower, but only three of them, including Lou Lan'er, can dance in exotic styles.
Performances will be held in the restaurant lobby in the afternoon and evening.
Shopkeeper Hu rested in Hu Mansion for three days and returned to Qingxiang Tower, but he did not recognize Lou Lan'er after putting on a disguise.
After observing for a few days, he discovered that the diners loved exotic dances and required all dancers to learn them.
During the late-night snack period, he added a performance period and also launched a dance performance for diners in a premium private room.
After hearing this, the dancers complained that in order to increase business, shopkeeper Hu did not increase the number of cooks and introduce new dishes, but instead increased the daily performance of the dance band.
"Lou Lan'er, are you still adaptable to the rhythm of our Qingxiang Lou dance band?" Aying, the dancer sister who has been performing in the Qingxiang Lou dance band for three years, became concerned about Lou Lan'er.
"It's not too tiring. I used to perform with the troupe and dance from day to night!"
"Lou Lan'er, don't worry, we'll be a little bit tired, but it doesn't matter. At the beginning of the month, some distinguished guests will come to shopkeeper Hu to discuss business, and the silver reward they will give you will be worth more than half a year's wages. "
Lou Lan'er suddenly became curious: "Who is this noble person who spends so much money? Is he a businessman or an official?"
A Ying made a booing gesture: "Don't ask about the background of our distinguished guests, we just dance well and collect the rewards!"
"Why is it the beginning of every month? Could it be that you are looking for shopkeeper Hu to do business?" Lou Laner made random guesses, trying to get something out of Aying's mouth.
"You just have to teach the others to dance the Hu Xuan Dance well. When the distinguished guests come, it will naturally benefit us."
At night, after all the girls in the dance class had taken a break, Lou Lan'er sneaked out of the dormitory room and went to Mao Xi's house.
Mao Xi, Mu Zhiyuan, and Yi Zhili Li Bing were already waiting in the living room.
"Ah Shu, you are all here!" Lou Lan'er took a sip of tea, "Brother Mu, Brother Li, are you waiting for me too? I'll just tell Ah Shu!"
"Did you find out anything? Is Qingxiang House really, as Hu Mansion's servant said, doing the business of embezzling tax money under the banner of a restaurant?"
"The dancer mentioned that at the beginning of every month, distinguished guests would come to the restaurant to discuss important matters with Shopkeeper Hu. I guess it is the business that the servant mentioned, but I have not seen him and I don't know whether it is true or not. Allow me to investigate for a few more days."
"Lou Lan'er, you have to be careful. If you need help, you can pass the news to Brother Li. He will disguise himself and go to Qingxiang Tower to investigate every day at noon."
"Haha, Shopkeeper Liu, you don't have to worry about her. I've seen Miss Lan'er's martial arts before!" Li Bing smiled, "Miss Lan'er, does your dance band need a drummer or a musician? I can do that too. "
"Sister Lan'er, if something goes wrong during the dance performance, don't be impulsive."
Although Lou Lan'er said she had martial arts skills, Shu Xi was worried that she would have a hot temper and her identity would be exposed, and her search for evidence would be in vain.
"Ah Shu, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Two weeks later, Qingxiang Tower welcomed the legendary nobleman!
Shopkeeper Hu held a separate banquet in the private room on the top floor.
While Lou Lan'er and the dancers were serving the dishes, they filed in and lined up at the table.
Today's dance is the Hu Xuan Dance. Each dancer wears a waist-baring Hu costume, covering her face with a veil, and dances like a goddess in the sky.
This noble man is used to seeing court dances, but he has never seen such exotic customs.
Unknowingly, I drank a few more bottles of wine with Shopkeeper Hu and talked a little more.
"Brother Hu, where did you find these dancers? They dance so enchantingly!"
"She's still the same dancer as before, just with a new dance. Brother Peng, do you like it?"
"Reward!" Peng Ying took out a handful of golden beans from his arms and threw them to the dancers.
"Ah! It's Jindouzi, thank you, Your Majesty~"
"Sisters, there are golden beans!"
Lou Lan'er imitated the others and picked up golden beans on the ground. She picked up the fastest and half of the golden beans were picked up by her.
Shopkeeper Hu signaled the dancers to step back.
"Wait!" Peng Ying pointed at Lou Lan'er, "You just picked up the most golden beans. Stay and give me another dance!"
After Lou Lan'er knelt down and saluted, she walked up to Peng Ying and said, "Your Majesty, I can also sword dance, and this little lady is willing to perform another song!"
"Okay, okay~hahaha..."
Peng Ying asked the two guards at the door to take it off and carry the sword with him to Lou Lan'er.
Lou Lan'er is holding a long sword, and her energy is as strong as a rainbow. She has changed from the soft and graceful dancing posture just now, showing the pride and courage of a man in every move.
Peng Ying's eyes became blurred while watching the dance, and he kept looking at Lou Lan'er's figure.
"Brother Peng, I've been very unlucky recently. It's all because of the newly opened Haoweilou. My business has plummeted."
"I've heard about Haowei Restaurant. It's just opened by a little girl. You've been in Lihua Town for a long time. Can't you keep the regular customers? Don't forget, our business depends on this restaurant. Only then can it be implemented!”
"Of course the restaurant will continue to open, but money has been a lot tighter recently! Our business only closes every quarter. Do you think you can help me think of some ways to prevent that delicious restaurant from continuing to open!"
"Is there anything else that can trouble you, Shopkeeper Hu?" Peng Ying took a piece of meat and drank it with some wine, but still did not take his eyes away from Lou Lan'er.
"It's not like I haven't tried it before..." Shopkeeper Hu clapped his hands at Lou Lan'er, "You can go down now, you don't need to wait here!"
Lou Lan'er could only return the sword to the guard at the door. Not long after leaving, she quietly climbed to the top of the building and listened to the conversation in the room.
"Brother Peng, when are you going to deliver the goods this month? I have to rely on your new goods to restore my health."
"It will be delivered in three days. Then you can see the goods. The quantity is large this time. As for the Haoweilou, I will go and cause some trouble for it... Happy cooperation. The dancers just now are good. Call them back to dance some more." Let’s dance!”
Lou Laner turned over from the roof and hurriedly returned to the dance band.
She stuffed all the golden beans she had on her body to the dancing girl Aying: "Aying, I'll give you these golden beans. I have a stomachache. I need to go out for a while. If the shopkeeper asks, you have to tell me!"
"Okay! Let's go, let's go~" Aying put the golden beans in her purse and put them away, quickly followed the dance band and returned to the private room on the top floor to dance.
