Quick Transmigration: Leisure
Chapter 568 The Mystery of Bianjing: A Tale of Love and Debauchery (33 chapters)
On the Double Ninth Festival, Feihua Pavilion announced in advance that it would add an extra performance, and that it would be a brand new play, which would be performed for two consecutive days.
This surprised the group of people who had viewed the Moon Palace five times.
although,
Xia Youmi does not recommend watching the same show more than three times, and there are also restrictions on the number of tickets, but some people are addicted and use it as a way to show off, claiming that they will find any loopholes to come and that there is no way to turn them away.
Originally designed with only three different viewing angles, they pushed their potential to the limit, adding extra segments for their fourth and fifth performances. The changes were minor, but their sincerity and fresh experience made all the difference.
This made those honest viewers who didn't listen to advice and watch it a fourth time feel regretful, and they were determined to come and cause trouble.
They wouldn't listen to their commotion, and they would behave themselves the next time they entered the venue.
This time, the lead actors and characters were suddenly introduced after the event, and each of them bowed in gratitude. Pan Lan even went on stage to reassure the audience and explain the subsequent rules. From then on, the first three shows of each theme were exactly the same, the fourth show included a bonus segment, and the fifth show featured a thank-you ceremony and a special number drawing, still with only three spots available.
If a new play is to be performed, the process is the same. The first five performances will be slightly different, but the threshold for subsequent performances will be lower, and the content will not be particularly special.
At least, limit any unusual requests to five sessions or less.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, everyone waited to draw their numbers, unaware of the cold and disciplining attitude. Because Feihua Pavilion was known as a place of entertainment, its transformation was easily accepted; the businesses she abandoned never lacked substitutes.
In this relaxed setting, no one is afraid of saying something that might spoil the atmosphere.
Thus, as long as sincerity and a rare sense of novelty are presented, they can be praised extensively.
The rules for drawing numbers are very simple: two are based on first impressions, and one is purely based on luck.
Xia Youmi would choose someone with status, character, and position who was an investment opportunity. The other person might not lack for such pleasures, but the unspoken rule was that one had to curry favor with the person in charge.
The second person she would choose would be a guest of relatively ordinary status, but who must be a loyal supporter and not tarnish the existence of Feihua Pavilion. In this way, it would also serve as a way to establish Feihua Pavilion's reputation and show that they are not simply flattering others.
At last,
One person is randomly selected from all the participants' numbers, purely by chance. Although this number can exempt you from paying for drinks and admission, they will take it back if the person commits a crime or does something detrimental to Feihua Pavilion.
Xia Youmi and Niannian will not interfere with this spot; they will just wait for the outcome.
It remains to be seen whether they are lucky individuals born solely around Feihua Pavilion or are drawn into the main storyline.
Seeing the lucky person holding the number and happily revealing her daughter's voice, Xia Youmi smiled. She had never seen this person before, but her brother had come three times and liked him very much.
She looked like a young woman who had been dragged here by her brother and had only seen one show, yet already felt the trip was worthwhile.
Dressed in men's clothing, his complexion and demeanor suggest a relatively noble background.
She entered with a disdainful look, while her brother stared at her as if waiting for a good show.
then,
He couldn't contain himself during the opening and climax of the play, repeatedly pinching his brother's arm to express his excitement.
At last,
She was incredibly lucky to be chosen. She didn't want to be her brother's servant, so she bought a separate number. She was only one number away from her brother's number, and she was the one who won.
Seeing her brother's envious gaze, as if he were a hungry tiger, she knew it was purely a coincidence.
No one helped bribe Feihua Pavilion.
Although his elder brother loved watching performances, he never spent any money except for buying tickets and tea, and even used the identity of a servant in the mansion.
He's so stingy and stupid, there's no reason the madam would notice.
As she looked at the stage, Xia Youmi smiled kindly and waved her hand, three people carrying number plates walked towards the lucky winner selected for this round.
One person went upstairs, while the other two remained downstairs.
This disparity in numbers means that those in higher positions don't need to compete with their peers.
For those downstairs, the lively music and the envious voices of those around them made the seemingly small gift seem even more special.
After everyone left, Xia Youmi didn't keep any guests to talk to during these days.
Even the elder of the Fu family only reported that Chi You had gone to worship Buddha outside the city and that his return date was uncertain. But usually it would be about half a month, and he would definitely convey the other party's wishes by then.
The reply was that there was no need to worry, as his son had gone out again and might return at any time.
It seems we have quite a connection.
In addition to announcing the subsequent rules, Xia Youmi also convened a meeting of everyone from Feihua Pavilion. The first thing to do was to settle the regular wages and rewards for the performers from Yuegong.
Furthermore, a new contract was signed stipulating that once someone participates in a performance, they must perform five consecutive shows.
If you decide to leave after this, Feihua Pavilion will not stop you. However, once a replacement role is arranged, you can't just come back whenever you want. It depends on the reputation and the results.
In addition, there will be extra financial subsidies every five games.
The rehearsal of the play will be based on the arrangements of senior Dai Zhu. Just because you are the lead actor this time does not mean you will be the lead actor next time.
After laying bare the unpleasant truths, a balance was struck between the expectations and the mindset of the group.
Xia Youmi desired a stable and functioning organization, not a cutthroat arena of fame and fortune. She also immediately called out two individuals with ulterior motives, declaring them unnecessary for future sessions.
The crowd gasped in surprise again.
Some people thought she was establishing her authority, and taking advantage of the recent loosening of Pan Lan's grip, they demanded compensation.
Without saying a word, Xia Youmi immediately ordered the guards to tie them up and announced that the two would be handed over to the authorities the next day.
They not only had wicked intentions, but also committed actual evil deeds.
Xia Youmi wouldn't have acted so unreasonably if she hadn't caught her red-handed. The shouting also subsided when she exposed her. She sold the rehearsal information to another brothel in the city, stole things, and secretly used the privacy of the people in the brothel to earn money.
Each and every one of these incidents immediately infuriated the women.
At this point, Xia Youmi dealt with several managers and their apprentices. They were all in the same boat; the contracts they signed before the performance listed all the important points, but how many of them actually took them seriously?
After making an example of them, most of them behaved themselves.
Xia Youmi had already noticed the underhanded tactics, so the new dance drama didn't include any important scenes with these people, which wouldn't have any impact.
But only now are people realizing this.
After giving special praise to a few individuals, the meeting adjourned.
To those with impure motives, Panlan's mother now is even more terrifying than her previous stinginess. Her eyes may not hold any malice, but her actions are swift and decisive, leaving no room for concealment.
According to the contract, in addition to returning the money they earned from their mother, they also had to give back every penny of the bribes they received. One share went to Feihua Pavilion, one to the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, and one to all their hardworking sisters.
The next day, we will hand these people over to the government office and give them a generous reward so they can take full responsibility for settling the matter.
Xia Youmi then prepared for the next step.
First, the announcement of the Double Ninth Festival was made public, and invitations were sent to people with special license plates one by one in advance.
The interior of the pavilion was decorated for the new dance, and the formal rehearsal was inspected.
After confirming that everything was in order, she wrote to the elder of the Fu family and arranged to meet Fu Miao'an on the Double Ninth Festival.
That is, on the day the old man was invited to watch the new dance drama on the Double Ninth Festival, he could not refuse, and everyone would assume that Panlan would definitely guard Feihua Pavilion on the day of the new performance.
Using Chi You's identity to meet Fu Miao'an would reduce the risks for her.
In addition, officials were given a holiday during the Double Ninth Festival, so it was only natural for Chi You to keep the appointment.
If it happens to be his turn to be on duty, it might be delayed.
At that point, the initiative will no longer be in Xia Youmi's hands. Having just purged the villains of Feihua Pavilion, such an opportunity is rare.
According to the original setting, both the male and female protagonists would hold a small banquet with their families on the Double Ninth Festival, mainly to commemorate Wen Taigong. The male protagonist would get drunk, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists would warm up.
in this way,
Then, Xia Youmi wouldn't be talking to someone when a pair of strangers suddenly appear and point fingers at her.
She couldn't vouch for the character of either of the men. Even the male lead, Wen Ziji, wasn't exactly a pure and upright good person if not viewed from the female lead's perspective.
