I survived as a female assassin

Then someone distributed a wooden sign to the guests at each table.

After Xin Youran politely took it, she found the word "rat" written on it.

Rat? It should be a rat character, right?

She looked at the beautiful lady beside her in confusion. Just as she was about to speak, the beautiful lady came closer and said, "It's my fault. This is your first time here, so you don't know the rules of the Jade Hairpin Fairy, right?"

"The badge in your hand is your code name with the Jade Hairpin Fairy. It's arranged according to the twelve zodiac animals. Yours is the Rat."

Uh, so that means she is the backup of this courtesan, right?

"Why are they arranged according to the twelve zodiac signs? That way there would only be twelve names. I imagine there are more than twelve people in your Luoxianyuan who admire Yuzhanxian, right?"

As soon as Xin Youran finished speaking, someone started shouting.

"Why does he get a brand, but I don't?"

"Everyone, judge for yourself. Is this guy as good-looking or as tall as me?!"

Xin Youran looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the man stood up. He was tall and strong, and he looked even more handsome than the young man he pointed at.

That makes sense!

It seems that even if there are only twelve of these brands, they are completely sufficient. Miss Yu must have chosen people within the twelve.

"Sir, please be patient. As for appearance, whether it's beautiful or not is entirely up to the Jade Hairpin Fairy. There are no rules to speak of. I hope you can understand."

"How about this? I'll have someone send you a pot of fine wine to calm you down, calm you down."

The madam was grinning so hard her mouth was almost splitting to her ears, but the man still insisted, "Bah! Do I need this little bit of money for a drink?"

"Invite the Jade Hairpin Fairy to me. I want to ask her what she dislikes about me!"

This man was clearly trying to stir up trouble. The situation gradually got out of control, and everyone was whispering among themselves. A regular customer sneered, "You can tell at a glance that this guy is a first-time visitor. Today, the Jade Hairpin Fairy has the final say. Miss Jade's choice of ideal husband is entirely hers, and even the madam can't do anything about it!"

"You don't even know this little bit of etiquette. If you keep making trouble like this, you'll be asked to leave."

"Hey, have you heard? There's a big shot coming tonight, and the troublemakers might not even know how they died!"

Big man?

Oh no, this is bad. It looks like the competition tonight will be very fierce. What will I do if I don’t see Miss Yu tonight?

Xin Youran was a little worried and subconsciously looked at the people at the surrounding tables and the people in the private rooms on the second floor. Who could this important person be?

Who would have thought that a moment later, the person who was still shouting just now actually disappeared...

It seems that Luoxianyuan is not just a brothel.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Miss Yu has prepared a small gift for you distinguished guests. I hope you will accept it."

In a moment, a red curtain descended in the center of the hall, enclosing the entire stage. Lights were lit one by one, and the entire Luoxian Courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop...

Suddenly, the sound of musical instruments was heard, which should be the sound coming from behind the red cloth.

Xin Youran knew what instrument it was as soon as she heard the first sound. It was the pipa!

Suddenly I thought of the line, "The sounds of the strings are mixed and chaotic, like pearls falling on a jade plate."

It is so crisp and clear that it goes straight to the heart and even gives people goosebumps.

It was the first time that Xin Youran listened to the sound of the pipa at such a close distance. While she was enjoying the beautiful melody, suddenly another instrument joined in, the sound of a flute.

At this time, a handsome young man stood up, and the sound of the flute came from him. The flute sound and the accompaniment of the pipa were unusually harmonious.

It seems that this person is also a master!

Xin Youran glanced at the nameplate on his desk. Although she couldn't see the zodiac sign on it, there was someone with a nameplate, and that was her competitor.

Are you starting the competition so soon?

How could she be at a disadvantage?

Wait a minute, she can't play any instrument, can't sing, and can't dance. How can she compete with others?

Xin Youran was so anxious!

Just when she was getting anxious, someone actually started dancing with a sword on the table!

The key is that it is particularly elegant and free!

No, no, the more you have to calm down at this time, there is always a way to deal with it.

Listening to the two of them playing together, one actually feels as if a boat has passed through thousands of mountains.

The first thing that flashed through her mind was the popular anime she had watched before, in which Li Bai rode a solitary boat, drifting among the mountains and rivers...

Coupled with the sword dance of the man next to her, a person suddenly flashed in her mind.

Got it! Although she is not good at anything else, she is the best at endorsement.

She admitted that many of her classmates said she was a chatterbox, but the chatterbox had also participated in debate competitions and won prizes!

Since there is such a good artistic conception, it must not be wasted. Let's see how she amazes everyone.

Don’t you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea, and never returns?

Don't you see ~ the white hair in the mirror of the hall is sad ~ the hair was black in the morning and turned into snow in the evening ~

……

Ancient saints and wise men are all lonely. Only drinkers leave their names.

……

Five-colored horses, fur coats worth thousands of gold, I'll call my son to go out and exchange them for good wine, so that we can share our eternal sorrows!

(I don’t have any water knowledge! Dog head save my life?(????????))

Xin Youran held her back straight, and recited with cadence and full of emotion. The Jade Hairpin Fairy who played the pipa and the elegant young man who played the flute, the three of them complemented each other perfectly. After reciting Li Bai's "Drinking Song", their music also came to an end.

The entire Luoxianyuan was still deathly silent.

Xin Youran's heart was pounding. Oh my God, could she have been sacrificed?

Anyway, I feel pretty good about myself.

At this time, someone in the private room on the second floor applauded, and then many people followed suit. Xin Youran finally felt relieved. Seeing everyone looking at her with admiration, oh no, and jealousy, she knew that this was a sure thing.

Afterwards, the red cloth was lifted, and a woman in red with a veil appeared in front of everyone, holding a pipa and half covering her face. The applause from the crowd became louder.

Despite wearing a veil, Xin Youran was stunned.

She was indeed the most beautiful courtesan! She was indeed the one that had so many outstanding men vying for her.

"Dear guests who have received the badges can come up and have a brief chat with Miss Yu."

As soon as the man finished speaking, some people ran up with signs, but no one went empty-handed. Some presented calligraphy and paintings, some presented treasures, and some even brought boxes of gold directly...

Xin Youran felt lonely. This bag of silver was given to her by Wei Ranran, but it was not enough. Oh, she also picked up a little black dog on the roadside and touched the dog lying on the table. Giving the dog as a gift?

Inappropriate, inappropriate.

She felt all over her body, and it seemed that the only thing she had with her was the short knife that Mu Yuan had given her...

"Where is the young master with the Rat brand?"

"Where is the young master with the Rat brand?"

Xin Youran was pulled by the beautiful girl next to her, and then she reacted and hurried over, not forgetting to remind the beautiful girl to take good care of the little black dog for her.

She found that there were seven people in total who went up, and when she went up, two of them had already returned disappointed.

Her heart was pounding. If she was rejected by the Jade Hairpin Fairy, wouldn't this trip be in vain?

As she was pondering, a noble-looking young man suddenly grabbed her sleeve and asked, "Excuse me, brother, what is your name? Did you write that poem just now?"

This man was so excited that Xin Youran was panicked and wanted to pull her sleeve out of his hand.

"Don't be afraid, my lord. I am Xiahou Rui, and I love making friends with the world's most talented people."

"Can we be friends?"

Wow, this guy is even more awesome than her. It’s just that she was pressed for time this time and didn’t have time to call any friends.

She pulled up her sleeves and said with a smile, "Sorry, I just want to make friends with Miss Yu tonight."

As she spoke, she showed the sign in her hand and pointed at Miss Yu.

Only then did she ask that Xia Hou Rui for help, but she seemed to hear him say behind her back, still unwilling to give up, "I'll be waiting for you outside Luoxian Courtyard!"

At this time, in the private room in the corner of the second floor.

"Your Highness, no!"
