Chapter 355 Yaoyue Tower Opening
Accompanied by the sound of conversation in the carriage.
The carriage gradually left the place where the Su and Jun families had lived for two or three years.
In the imperial city.
After Su Hanchu finished dealing with Shen Luoxue's affairs, he stayed in Yaoyue Tower and wrote music.
As the people trained in the northwest arrived in the imperial city, Su Hanchu asked them to practice new music for two days, and then Yaoyue Tower was ready to open.
Opening day.
As night fell, the lights throughout the imperial city gradually lit up. The three huge golden characters of "Yaoyue Tower" flashed with alluring light under the illumination of red lanterns.
The name of Yaoyue Tower is written on each lantern, or there is a pattern of a beautiful lady dancing. These lanterns sway gently in the breeze, and with the sound of firecrackers, a song and dance slowly rises.
The girls in Yaoyue Tower danced as lightly as swallows. Their dancing was graceful, and their long sleeves fluttered in the air. As they danced, countless butterflies of various shapes and sizes flew out from their long sleeves. Suddenly, countless butterflies flew in all directions at the door of Yaoyue Tower, attracting the attention of countless people and dignitaries.
As the dance ended.
There was thunderous applause and praise from the crowd.
"good…………"
“It’s so beautiful…”
"That's right, Yaoyue Tower is indeed different from other brothels..."
Amid the crowd's praises, the lead dancer Bai Mei bowed to everyone with a faint smile.
"Everyone, I, Bai Mei, am the owner of Yaoyue Tower. Today is our newly opened day, and it's also the day for selecting the most beautiful woman. I hope you will all come and support us. We have prepared a variety of scented teas and dried fruits for everyone to taste. Our ladies have also prepared countless different dances and music. Everyone is welcome to listen and watch."
As Yao Yue stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
Several dancing girls were also standing on both sides, smiling and extending their hands to invite everyone to come in.
For a moment, many people in the crowd walked towards Yaoyue Tower while talking to each other.
There were also many people who had heard the propaganda before, and they got off the carriages or sedan chairs and walked towards Yaoyue Tower.
Su Hanchu sat in the private room of Yu Ni Yuan opposite Yaoyue Tower. This was the best viewing spot. As he watched more and more people walk into Yaoyue Tower, he picked up his teacup with a faint smile on his face.
Lin Hanchu was eating pastries on the side. After her morning sickness period was over, she often felt hungry.
"Sister, only you could come up with this idea for a new business. Look at how crowded Yaoyue Tower is right now. I'm afraid the other brothels in the imperial city will become less popular as Yaoyue Tower becomes more prosperous."
Su Hanchu looked at her with smiling eyes and spoke in a joking tone.
"Robbing people of their business and cutting off their financial resources are both offensive things. From now on, I'll have to rely on you, the wife of the general who protects the country, to protect me."
Lin Hanzhi chuckled when she heard that.
"Oh, sister, you are just teasing me. This is my sister's property, so of course I have to take care of it. Don't worry, sister. The one who manages the security of the imperial city is Captain Gu. I have recently sent a lot of things to his wife.
I've also had people find a lot of new things to send to the Empress. If there are any fools who offend our Yaoyue Tower, just beat them up. If they are high-ranking officials, I will stand up and say that I opened the business. After all, the title of Imperial Merchant still belongs to me, so I won't waste it."
As expected of someone whose family has been doing business since childhood, her mind is very sharp and active. Su Hanchu looked at Lin Hanzhi with admiration.
"As expected, when it comes to interpersonal relationships, you still have to rely on my Zhizhi. You have mastered the bribery routine in the Imperial City."
Lin Hanzhi listened and spoke modestly.
"Sister, you're too kind. If you praise me any more, I'll be flattered. It's just a matter of spending some money. Sister, didn't you say it before? Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
The two chatted for a while, and when Su Hanchu saw that the time was almost up, he spoke.
"It's getting late. Let Qing Dai and Qing Wu take you back. Qing Wu will stay by your side from now on, at least until your child is born safely. After all, the Imperial City is too complicated, and I'm always worried about you because you don't have many capable people around you."
After hearing this, Lin Hanzhi spoke quickly.
"Then I won't be polite to you, sister. Qingwu is very agile and is indeed a great guarantee for me. But you don't have to worry about me, sister. He is also paying attention to my belly. He often sends imperial doctors to check my pulse. The whole imperial city knows that he is interested in the legitimate son of the General's Mansion in my belly. Even if someone wants to do something bad, they have to think twice."
After hearing this, Su Hanchu nodded in relief.
"That's great."
Then he stood up and helped her up.
"Qingdai, Xia Lan, take good care of your wife."
Qingdai and Xia Lan hurried to support Lin Hanzhi, while Qingwu followed secretly.
Su Hanchu waited for Lin Hanchu to leave.
He turned over with Qingzhi and jumped out of the window.
Then, Su Hanchu opened his folding fan and shook it gently. He was wearing a crescent-white long gown and a jade pendant made of mutton-fat jade around his waist. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family and walked towards Yaoyue Tower step by step.
Qingzhi was still wearing a black dress, a black veil, and the black whip around her waist. She exuded a coldness, which formed a sharp contrast with Su Hanchu's gentle smile.
The girl who greeted people at the door smiled when she saw Su Hanchu coming, but she did not come up to solicit customers in a frivolous manner like other brothels. Instead, she bowed politely.
"This gentleman, Yaoyue Tower, welcomes you. Please come in."
Su Hanchu folded his fan and joked with a smile.
"As expected, a newly opened place is a newly opened one, and it is somewhat different from other brothels."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Qingzhi.
"Gardenia, don't you think so?"
Qingzhi had accompanied Su Hanchu in decorating the Yaoyue Tower before, so now she didn't feel embarrassed as if she was about to enter a brothel.
"From my humble opinion, there is indeed something different. Sir, you can go in and have a look."
Su Hanchu smiled and walked inside with Qingzhi.
As soon as you enter the lobby, you will see charming girls dancing in light gauze on the stage in the middle. Their postures are light and graceful, like fairies descending to earth, which is intoxicating.
The sounds of piano, flute and Xiao interweave into a beautiful melody, accompanied by the girls' dance, as if bringing people into a dreamlike world.
The men of letters and poets sat together, drinking and writing poetry, expressing their inner feelings.
They were immersed in the wonderful music and dance, as if they had forgotten all the troubles in the world.
Some writers picked up their pens, splashed ink on paper, and recorded the beauty of this moment.
Bai Mei was wearing a red palace dress that wrapped around her slender waist. The shawl on her shoulders gently slipped off, revealing her creamy shoulders and neck. She had delicate makeup, cinnabar on her lips, and a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to speak. She walked towards Su Hanchu with a warm smile on her face.
"Sir, you have come from afar. I am sorry that Bai Mei failed to welcome you. Please forgive me."
Su Hanchu held out his folding fan and lightly lifted Baimei's chin.
"Sure enough, I heard a few days ago that the owner of Yaoyue Tower is comparable to the most beautiful courtesan Bai Mei Qian Jiao. After seeing her today, I think Miss Bai Mei is the most beautiful courtesan in the entire imperial city."
Bai Mei leaned towards Su Hanchu with a smile on her face.
"Thank you for your compliment, sir. The private room you reserved earlier will be kept for you. Bai Mei will take you up there first, and then you can see which girl you want to see perform today."
Su Hanchu stretched out his hand and put his arm around Bai Mei's waist with a smile on his face.
"They all follow Miss Baimei's arrangements."
Several people came to the special box, and Su Hanchu let go of Bai Mei's waist and sat down beside her.
Qingzhi stepped forward and poured her a cup of tea.
Bai Mei put away the smile she showed in front of others and spoke seriously.
"Bai Mei greets the master."
Su Hanchu nodded slightly, picked up the teacup, and exuded a majestic aura.
"Business seems pretty good today. Have you explained the rules clearly to the customers?"
