Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

She would rather be a lowly musician in the Ninth Prince's mansion than marry Lu Yunyang. Should he agree?

A sarcastic smile appeared on Lu Yunyang's lips, and his eyes turned cold, three parts of ridicule and three parts of indifference.

"Okay, there's still a month and a half until the Dragon Boat Festival. I'll see how you perform."

Hua Manlou has a good foundation, and the girls in it have all received professional training. As long as there are good songs, they can perform them in a lingering and sad way.

The place is large and the scene is easy to arrange. The atmosphere can be set off perfectly by using special effects such as lights and fireworks.

In this regard, Jiang Jiu has endless ideas, and Xiao Yimo's execution ability is also excellent.

Hua Manlou's music style is lingering, while Hong Xiuzhao's music style is unrestrained. Jiang Jiu came up with a competition, with the street between Hua Manlou and Hong Xiuzhao as the stage.

I won’t go into details about what happened later. The front was blocked with stools and tables. The competition lasted for three days, and every night all the guests who came had to pay ten taels of silver for a ticket.

Ten taels of silver cover tea, melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks, but if they want the girls to play music for them privately or drink with them, the price will be charged separately.

Ten taels of silver can allow you to watch the performances of the girls from Hua Manlou and Hong Xiuzhao, which is an unprecedented grand occasion.

For a whole month, Jiang Jiu hardly stayed at home. She chose Hua Manlou's rehearsals and Hong Xiuzhao's dance music over and over again and made them practice again and again.

The night before April 28th, Jiang Jiu asked Hua Manlou and Hong Xiuzhao to close their shops and all the girls to rehearse. During the day on the 28th, the girls rested.

The performance on the 28th starts at 7:00 p.m., which is dusk.

The performance officially starts at nine o'clock in the evening, which is the hour of Hai.

After the stage was built, a series of lanterns were hung up. The background of the stage was a bright moon, which echoed the crescent moon in the sky and also illuminated the stage.

Lu Yunyang stood in the room at the end of the corridor in Huamanlou. Because Nichang was going to perform, only Lu Ming was with him.

"What a great show! I have to say, this girl Jiang Jiu is really something."

Lu Ming stood behind Lu Yunyang with his arms folded and holding a sword, looking dark, cold and unpredictable.

"Now the master's reputation as a lecher and a playboy has been confirmed. Once this gets to the capital, those people in the imperial city should finally feel relieved."

Lu Yunyang lay leisurely on the windowsill, with a smile on his face.

"That's exactly what he wants. He wants me to be good for nothing, to be obsessed with women, eating, drinking and having fun all day, and to be a good-for-nothing."

Lu Ming glanced at the street below. "There are quite a few people here. The prefect and the governor are all here in plain clothes. The magistrate and the county magistrate of Xiang County are here too. The yamen runners are also here. I'm afraid all the men from these places are here."

Lu Yunyang glanced downstairs and said, "The women are here too, and my eighth concubine is also keen to watch the fun."

Looking up, Jiang Jiu and his concubines were on the second floor of Hong Xiu Zhao opposite, where the view was better.

Lu Ming: "I heard that all the good seats are reserved by Miss Jiang. She charges one hundred taels of silver a night. She can really make money."

Yes, we will definitely make a lot of money tonight. Lu Yunyang really underestimated Jiang Jiu.

Fortunately, Jiang Jiu’s condition this time was just to take him to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

If the betrothal money really needs to be returned, then Jiang Jiu will be truly free from today onwards.

"I can't let her leave so easily." Lu Yunyang smiled and greeted Jiang Jiu on the second floor.

Jiang Jiu nodded slightly, but the eight concubines were happy and shy when they saw Lu Yunyang.

The performance began with the sound of gongs and drums. People came in one after another. Those who came early had seats, but those who came late didn't even have seats. They had to stand at the back, and some even stepped on the table.

"Love...affection...is just an ordinary thing, nothing special at all..."

As the music started, the first song to appear was Hong Xiu Zhao's famous song. Four girls were dressed coolly, with red gauze covering their faces, looming, and bells on their wrists and ankles.

The singing and dancing are so lively and vivid.

Lu Yunyang hissed softly, "This song is really exciting..."

It gives people a feeling that I am the most beautiful person in the world, which is in line with Jiang Jiu's characteristics.

Looking at Jiang Jiu again, she didn't stop for a moment. The subordinates around her came to her one after another, and no one knew what they said to her, but she responded calmly.

The music styles vary, including sword dance, sleeve dance, pure music, pipa playing, etc.

Tonight is destined to be a feast of entertainment in Xiang County. For at least twenty years, everyone will be amazed when talking about it.

It begins with Carmen and ends with Sword Dance and Laughter in the World, which perfectly portrays the role of a great woman.

Time soon came to midnight. Because the prefect was on a secret visit, the other officials were all keeping themselves clean and did not ask any girls to accompany them.

Only Nishang from Hua Manlou went to drink with the prefect.

After the song ended, Xiao Yimo and Jiang Jiu went to Lu Yunyang's room as promised.

"Here's tonight's earnings."

Xiao Yimo had someone carry a box and placed it in front of Lu Yunyang.

"There were quite a lot of people here tonight. Apart from the girls' hard work fees and everyone else's hard work fees, the rest is all here. I roughly calculated it, and it's about 8,000 taels of silver..."

Lu Yunyang's eyebrows twitched. He made eight thousand taels in one night. He was really making money.

When the silver arrived, Jiang Jiu waved his hand and said to Xiao Yimo, "You go back first and follow the original plan."

Xiao Yimo nodded and left in a leisurely manner.

In the room, Lu Yunyang nodded to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming went out to guard.

Jiang Jiu kicked the box and said, "The silver is yours. Take me to Prince Qi's mansion."

After saying that, she looked at Lu Yunyang steadily, waiting for his reply.

"Okay, I will definitely keep my word." Lu Yunyang glanced at the box. There were silver ingots and silver notes in it, which was indeed a lot of silver.

But after Jiang Jiu finished speaking, he did not leave immediately.

Lu Yunyang's raised eyes twitched: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Jiang Jiu: "After visiting Prince Qi's Mansion, I may not return to Xiang County..."

Lu Yunyang raised the corner of his mouth and laughed contemptuously: "You don't think that you can really become a musician in Prince Qi's palace just by singing these songs, do you?"

Jiang Jiu smiled faintly, and a distant and elusive look appeared on his lips.

"Maybe I can, maybe I can't, it doesn't matter. If it succeeds, I might be able to go to Beijing. If it doesn't, I can only stay in Su City and find another opportunity to act..."

Suddenly, Lu Yunyang's heart trembled, and he felt a bad alert.

"Is it done? What do you want to do by going to Prince Qi's Mansion..."

Jiang Jiu shook his head gently: "Go and do something very important."

Lu Yunyang frowned: "What important thing can't even be told to me."

Jiang Jiu blinked: "Of course you can't tell me who you are to me. Once I enter Prince Qi's mansion, we'll get a divorce. I've already written and signed the divorce papers, and you can take them to the government office to get it done."

"If I can't come back, and the government finds you, just say you don't know me."

Lu Yunyang's heart trembled again: "What on earth are you going to do in Prince Qi's mansion? You're not going to assassinate him, are you..."

Jiang Jiu opened her eyes speechlessly, opened her cherry-like mouth, and looked at him in shock.

"What are you thinking? Why would I want to assassinate the King of Qi? I'm just looking for something..."

An item taken away by the Ninth Prince.
