No. 9, imposing and formidable
Hmph! The disdainful Qingqing behind me let out a nasal sound, elegantly waving the light gauze fan for me. "What do you think of me, some kind of remarkable figure? Making such a fuss and rushing over, our Minmin spent half an hour chatting with the master, and only earned five hundred taels as a reward! Do you think our Minmin is some kind of licensed courtesan like Cuihua?"
The words were spoken too harshly, and immediately the veins on Lord Wan's forehead began to bulge, as he seemed ready to slam the table in anger. At that moment, Xiao Tao suddenly tugged at Qingqing and gently said, "Qingqing, how can you speak like that? Quickly apologize to Lord Wan! Everyone has their own difficulties. I believe Lord Wan is very fond of our Minmin; it’s just that he might be a bit short on funds at the moment or perhaps his family is strict with him. How can we force someone to do what they cannot?"
I am lively and cheerful, the best at making girls happy, caring for my sisters and valuing loyalty. I am free from any feudalistic thoughts of superiority, so I quickly blended in with the entire Changchun group and established a solid network of relationships. The gentle and attentive Xiao Tao and the spirited and bold Qing Qing are especially clingy, having sworn to follow me faithfully! After we formed a brotherhood, the first thing I did was take Qing Qing to give a good lesson to Hong Xing to vent Xiao Tao's frustrations. I am adaptable and now that I have succeeded, I will repay any grievances!
The old man Wan across the tea table was almost unable to hold his tea bowl, his face flushed with embarrassment. Qingqing cast a disdainful sidelong glance at him and turned to me, saying: "Sister Minmin, you are just too kind-hearted and do not know how to refuse guests! With your current status, you can only meet gentlemen like Old Master Su, who are polite and generous. Those idle people from all walks of life are beneath you and would only tarnish your eyes"
The so-called "Three-Stage Approach to Making Love" refers to: 1. Um... 2. Ah... 3. Don't... (I'm sweating!)
Reason 2: That voice is clearly emitted by a young boy (please read again)
... ... ... ...
Initially, I wanted to directly perform pole dancing or Broadway-style thigh dancing, but I feared it might be too shocking for those self-proclaimed "gentlemen" with delicate sensibilities. In the end, I deconstructed and rearranged ethnic dance and ballroom dance to create a new style of dance, blending allure with elegance, and subtlety with provocation, instantly bringing the entire audience to their knees before my pomegranate skirt
Under the leadership of the Party's ideology, my fundraising efforts are thriving ... ... (I have written too many ideological reports ... )
Over the past six months, I have performed once every fifteen days, with my style constantly evolving, ranging from Xinjiang dance to Latin rumba, each time bringing new surprises that leave this group of ancient locals in a daze! On the fifteenth day, the price for a private room in the Zangchun Lounge increased from 50 taels to 500 taels, and the prices for box seats and VIP areas are enough to shock the wealthy! However, when it comes to pricing, there is no highest price, only higher prices. In addition, the kind-hearted and sentimental me, while performing, also engages in poetry exchanges with those literati and accompanies lonely middle-aged men for heartfelt conversations, which, of course, are not free, so it is inevitable that I gather a bit of extra income.
I chuckled lightly in my heart, what a gentle stab from you, little Tao! On the surface, it seems like you are helping Lord Wan to clear his name, but the underlying implication is that you are suggesting he is afraid of his wife—now Lord Wan's face is even more difficult to maintain! These two young girls have already laid the groundwork, and all that is left is for me to make the final push.
Reason 1: The moans and groans are specifically as follows: "Hmm... Ah... Ah... No, don't! Stop... Ah... Mmm..."
That day, after teaching the young ladies how to apply smoky makeup, I began my daily routine of walking. Since Xiao Tao was busy preparing next month's clothing and Qing Qing was guiding the young ladies in vocal exercises, I quickly found myself lost without their company
However, Master Su has given one thousand taels... Qingqing was unconvinced
"Qingqing, Xiaotao, do not be rude!" I set down the tea bowl and lightly scolded with a silk handkerchief covering the corner of my mouth, my voice airy and weak, devoid of any reproach. "Our Cangchun Lou is a place to amuse the gentlemen; the rewards are based on friendship, and those who do not offer rewards are free to do so. Offering more is a sign of sincerity, while offering less is also a gesture of goodwill! Do you remember? From now on, you are not allowed to retort against the gentlemen!"
However, at that moment, I encountered a matter that was neither too big nor too small
As I walked east and west, I arrived at a courtyard that, in Minmin's eyes, bore no difference from the twelve courtyards I had passed before. I was mourning my sore and swollen feet when a sudden, oppressive moan drifted out from the courtyard
Since the day I made an agreement with the brothel keeper, I have been diligently preparing an epoch-making song and dance performance over the course of seven days - as someone who has traveled through time, crossing is inevitable; not crossing is merely a coincidence
The financial activities of the Mintaoqing trio and the improvements in the catering of the Cangchunlou are both being pursued vigorously and with equal determination
From then on, the name "Min Min" became renowned throughout the world. In the later Ming Dynasty, people across the nation widely praised: the dance of the first dancer Min Min of the later Ming Dynasty is unforgettable upon a single viewing! The song of the first singer Min Min of the later Ming Dynasty is unforgettable upon a single hearing! ... For a man, not to witness a performance of Min Min's song and dance in his lifetime can be considered a wasted life ... and so on, and so forth
Selecting the music also took considerable effort on my part. Ultimately, I chose the award-winning piece "Flowing Light and Dancing Shadows" from my participation in the Top Ten Singers competition, complemented by the poignant and narrative-like guzheng performance of a seasoned musician from Cangchun Lou. The effect is comparable to that of a Rolling Stones original
In an instant, I felt a shiver run through my entire body! Every single cell came alive with excitement
One of the essential skills of the female protagonist is getting lost
That night, when the gauzy water sleeves gently fell to the ground with the ethereal melody, feathers filled the air, floating as if a fairy had descended into the mortal realm
The coordination and cooperation among various departments of the performance team have also been put on track
Xiao Tao's clothing supply has begun to keep pace with the times and continuously innovate, inspired by the various eccentric outfits I provided
The renovation project of Cangchun Lou is nearing completion under my supervision
Because I made a bold promise back then, I have been preparing with all my might
The third law of the golden rule of crossing over
... ... ... ...
Overnight, it became famous in the capital city
Through long-term observation, I have found that the dance of women in this era resembles Japanese Noh theater, characterized by subtle movements of the hands and feet. Therefore, dance will be the most promising blue-chip stock!
Everyone fell silent, not just the men, but even the women were taken aback
In summary, it was a great success
I not only fulfilled the promise of allowing the Zangchun Lou to prosper and accumulate wealth, but also established my own performance troupe. Members of the troupe are exempt from engaging in flesh trade, and after performances, they receive substantial dividends. My selection process for team members is extremely rigorous; being a member of the performance troupe is a source of pride for everyone in Zangchun Lou, and many are eager to join, with countless individuals secretly trying to curry favor. Eventually, even talented individuals from other regions came seeking to join, and the performance troupe, enriched by elite talent, is thriving! Indeed, regardless of the era, talent is of utmost importance...
Costumes and the stage are also the main highlights! Xiao Tao's needlework dominates the Cangchun Lou; as long as I can sketch those oddly constructed costumes, Xiao Tao can sew them perfectly! She has truly helped me a great deal! ... As for the stage setup, I employed all modern techniques, including lighting, fireworks, and artificial snowflakes ...! ... Everything was called upon for the occasion! And for the stage setup, I employed all modern techniques, including lighting, fireworks, and artificial snowflakes ...! ... Everything was called upon for the occasion!
Watching that certain someone walk away, the three little devils in the sleeve exchanged a smile, we made a profit!
Clearly, it is a three-stage process of making love
You still say! I stood up, ready to strike. Master Wan quickly stood up to stop me, his face full of admiration and emotion: "Miss Minmin, what a wonderful saying, 'To give more is sincerity, to give less is also a token of goodwill.' There are really not many young ladies like you who are understanding and kind-hearted. I, Wan, absolutely cannot allow a young lady to suffer even a little grievance! That person surnamed Su gave one thousand taels, good! Today, I, Wan, will reward two thousand taels!"
Thus, a certain Yaoi wolf did not hesitate to climb over the wall and enter...
