I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court
Chapter 95: The Servants Gathered Together
The boss immediately got out of the car and presented the visiting card.
"I am An Yuwen from Furong Garden. At the invitation of Lord Liu, I am leading the dance troupe to celebrate Old Madam Liu's birthday."
"Go wait in the next room." The servant pointed to the side with a proud look on his face.
I saw a small corner door next to the side door. Inside the corner door was a narrow corridor with dark light, leading to a small courtyard.
This kind of place is also known as a corner room, and is usually used for outside servants to stay. For example, a vegetable vendor would wait here for the master to settle money, or a human trafficker would bring his backup servants here waiting to be summoned, etc.
In short, it is a place that neither the host nor the guests will set foot in.
Although An Yuwen and his companions belonged to the Kabuki and dance performers, they were not considered to be of the lowest class in Daliang and even had quite a high status. When they were invited to perform at a noble's house, they would usually enter through the side door at least, if not the front door.
This is the first time that we have to be arranged to stay in a corner room.
An Yuwen and his friends didn't think anything of it as they had just arrived, but the other dance troupe following behind them immediately frowned.
"Do you know who we are? You actually arranged for us to stay in the corner room. Let alone etiquette, the corner room is so small, can it accommodate us?"
The corner room is only about ten square meters, and it is difficult for ten people to stand in it and turn around. Now there are a hundred people in the dance troupe, and it is even more difficult to squeeze in.
The servant ignored him and sneered, "The Liu Mansion is not an ordinary mansion. Even the current emperor sent people to send gifts to our old lady's birthday, not to mention other princes and nobles. We acted like this to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking the opportunity to sneak into the mansion. Please cooperate with us."
The Liu family's servants were powerful, and the two masters' attempts to interfere failed, so they had to compromise in the end.
The dance troupe's attendants first entered the corner room to search and check the dancers, while the dancers waited in the carriage.
The attendants brought the belongings into the yard, and the dancer got off the carriage to cooperate with the search and body examination.
Ning Ning waited and waited in the carriage, and several hours passed before she finally entered the mansion.
However, after all this trouble, everyone no longer has a good impression of the Liu Mansion.
Especially the other team. By the way, the deputy dance troupe arranged to accompany them this time is called Bai Xue, which is also the top dance troupe of Furong Garden.
The team is led by Lady Xue. They are from the south of the Yangtze River and are good at soft dancing. They have been very popular in Beijing in the past two years.
Before, with Si Yang suppressing her, Lady Xue never had a chance to win the title. But now that Si Yang has eloped with someone, everyone says that Lady Xue will be the next number one dancer in the world.
Such a team was naturally often invited to perform at the residences of nobles, and they had never been treated so harshly.
Therefore, when they entered the mansion, everyone looked unhappy, and some even murmured.
"He is just a minister. Even the left prime minister is not as grand as you."
"What's so great about a distant relative? He really thinks he's a royal relative."
"Alright, alright, stop talking." Madam Xue rolled her eyes. "How many times have I told you to shut up? If you get slapped in the face later, I won't save you."
Ning Ning just found it funny listening to these mumblings.
Before she came here, she thought that the ancient times really had a strict class system and the common people at the bottom had no autonomy. Who would have thought that human beings have not changed from the beginning to the end.
Whether it is the supreme monarch or the humble common people, everyone has his own joys, sorrows, anger, and grumblings, but these aspects of life have not been recorded in words.
Of course, no matter how unique their personalities are, people would just mutter about it in private and would not really bring it to the surface.
Soon, the maid brought them to a more remote courtyard.
"You will stay here for the next two days. If you need anything, please come to us. Do not step out of the courtyard casually, so as not to offend the nobles."
"Well...what if we want to rehearse? After all, we have a performance tomorrow, so we have to see it on the stage tonight." The owner of the troupe still smiled cautiously.
"When the nobles have gone to bed, you can go and have a look. But remember not to make any noise, so as not to wake them up, and don't even think about walking around. The rules here are strict, no matter how respectable you are outside, if you break the rules you will be killed."
Regardless of what the Liu Mansion is like, the servants in the mansion are all equally mean, which shows that the owner of the mansion is not a good person either.
Everyone felt even worse.
After the maid left, everyone started to complain again, but this time Madam Xue did not let them do as they pleased.
"Talk less and do more, don't cause trouble for Furong Garden. Since we can't go on stage until the nobles have gone to bed, let's go back to our rooms and rest now."
Then she looked at An Yuwen again: "Boss An, do you want to choose a house first?"
An Yuwen smiled appropriately when he heard this: "Madam Xue has few people, so you guys should choose first, and we will slowly distribute the rest."
This is true. There are only 20 dancers in Xue Niang's dance troupe, and the remaining 80 are all from Yu Wen Dance Troupe.
After all, Magu Offering Longevity is composed of a wire team, a stage props team, and dancers. The number of people alone is comparable to a large-scale group dance.
However, there is nothing to complain about this courtyard for servants to live in, as there are large bunk beds on both sides.
Madam Xue did not refuse. She politely chose a relatively small bunk bed and led their people into the room.
An Yuwen felt deeply moved, Daliang was indeed full of talented people. Look at this young Lady Xue, who not only brought her dance troupe to the capital to make a living, but was also so well-rounded and worldly-wise without being worldly-wise.
"Don't look, they have already entered the room." Ning Ning teased from behind.
An Yuwen was stunned at first, then his old face turned red with embarrassment: "You unlucky child, what are you talking about? I'm going to beat you up later."
Here, Ning Ning smiled and quickly led the dancers into one of the large bunk beds, and the remaining empty one was naturally left for the men.
An Yuwen shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let the dancers follow Ning Ning. If there was a person who was worldly-wise but not worldly-wise, it was not only Lady Xue. Isn't Chu Chu the same?
Who could be more talented than her? But she was willing to be a teacher all these years, and even after becoming famous, she still looked calm and composed, not at all pretentious.
But if you say she is easy-going, she also has an inexplicable aura, which is not revealed, but just tells you vaguely that she is not easy to bully.
All in all, in An Yuwen's eyes, Ning Ning is a very charming person, and no one is more interesting than her.
An Yuwen was admiring Ning Ning, and his actions caught the eyes of everyone, so they couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Our class leader was just staring at Madam Xue, and now he's staring at Madam Chu... Is it possible that the iron tree is about to bloom at this time?"
"That sounds like it."
"Tsk tsk tsk, what should I do?"
