Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Do you know that newcomer to the court?
Hu Yanyan stopped crying.
Shengsheng immediately crawled out of her arms and hurriedly ran to hide behind Sang Ling, her face full of helplessness towards Hu Yanyan.
"Sister, I'm so tired."
It turns out that comforting people is so tiring.
Hu Yanyan wiped away her tears, stared at Sang Ling and said, "What do you mean by that?"
"Chunming Pavilion and the court split the money 50-50. Zuoqiu Yu paid 200,000 yuan, which proves that she earned at least 400,000 yuan."
Hu Yanyan interrupted her impatiently, "Of course I know this, what does it mean to cooperate with you?"
Sang Ling smiled and said, "When you perform on the round stage, help me build momentum."
Hu Yanyan glared even harder, "Round stage? You're not talking about the Jiaotai Banquet that happens every seven days, are you? How can this be called cooperation? It's obvious that you're just trying to take advantage of me."
Sang Ling was not annoyed, "All the spirit stones, you take 20 and I take 80."
Hu Yanyan's expression became serious. She asked suspiciously, "Are you planning to earn spirit stones only through the Jiaotai Banquet?"
Sang Ling nodded, at least for now.
The answer was exactly what Hu Yanyan expected.
Hu Yanyan's head ached. The ticket to the Jiaotai Banquet only cost one spirit stone, and at most there would be some tips. That was just a means to attract customers to spend money. The main thing was to welcome the guests. What would it matter if the Jiaotai Banquet performed well if Sang Ling didn't welcome the guests!
She was almost deceived by Sang Ling!
Hu Yanyan was so angry that she threatened, "I don't care about your little money. I'm not sure if you can get 3,000 spirit stones."
As she was talking, she noticed Kuang Yan following Sang Ling.
Hu Yanyan was stunned and looked at Sang Ling in great confusion.
"You didn't save her, did you?"
Everyone in the court knew that Kuang Yan would not survive this day of reckoning, but no one had the energy to care about other people. They had seen too many people like this in Chunming Pavilion. If they cared about everyone, they would never be able to leave Chunming Pavilion in their lifetime.
Kuang Yan shrank back. Hu Yanyan was usually a bit domineering in Chunming Pavilion, and the people in the court both respected and feared her.
Sang Ling handed over a handkerchief and motioned Hu Yanyan to wipe her tears.
Hu Yanyan took the handkerchief and wiped it vigorously, "Don't be such a saint, survive first! If you want to save everyone else, you won't even be able to save yourself!"
Sang Ling was not annoyed, "You are right, so I still need you to cooperate with me."
After going around in circles, the topic came back to cooperation. Hu Yanyan was so angry that she kept glaring at Sang Ling. She glared at him for a long time until her eyes were sore, and then she threw the handkerchief back at Sang Ling.
She turned and walked out, and a fierce voice came: "Who will cooperate with you!"
…
Hu Yanyan said that she would not cooperate, but when she really arrived at the Jiaotai Banquet, she hesitated again. Naturally, she looked down on what Sang Ling said about the 20-80 split, and did not take this little bit of money seriously. But thinking that this might be Sang Ling's last way to save herself, she gritted her teeth and went to the Jiaotai Banquet.
Tonight is a new Jiaotai Banquet.
Ordinary courtiers do not have the qualifications to choose whether to participate or not. Only the courtiers with the most beautiful flowers can choose whether to participate. Among the three courtiers with the most beautiful flowers, only Hu Yanyan chose to attend the banquet.
For court ladies, Jiaotai Banquet was just a place for them to become famous. As an oiran, they no longer needed to use this method to become famous, so oiran court ladies rarely went to Jiaotai Banquet.
Hu Yanyan hadn't attended the Jiaotai Banquet for more than a year. She made an exception and attended it seven days ago to thank the guests.
This time she was only attending the banquet temporarily, but even so, the audience was still packed with guests who came for her.
Oirans seldom attended the Jiaotai Banquet, so the fact that Hu Yanyan attended twice in a row naturally surprised the guests.
As the oiran Chao Ren, she was naturally the last to appear. As a member of the fox demon clan, Hu Yanyan was very good at taking advantage of her strengths. She usually appeared in human form, but at this moment she revealed her fox ears and tail. Her fur was not pure, but contained some mixed colors, which, combined with her charming eyebrows and eyes, added a bit of charm.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, the audience burst into enthusiastic cheers, sometimes mixed with explicit remarks.
She seemed to have expected it, she just curled her lips slightly, and danced with her waist flexibly, and the voices of the guests below the stage almost overturned the whole place.
From the audience and the opposite building, there was an endless stream of cheers and singing.
There were indeed few guests who rewarded court ladies at Jiaotai's banquet, but the court ladies were an exception after all. They had the right to choose their guests, so there were always some who were not chosen and tried to attract the attention of the courtesan by offering high rewards.
Fox Yanyan's phoenix eyes were slightly curved, and she was smiling happily. After the dance, she breathed lightly, enjoying all the enthusiasm and strong desires of the people below the stage.
Perhaps some people cannot enter Chunming Pavilion, but this is not the case for monsters like Hu Yanyan. Monsters are casual and act without restraint. They have no concept of clean and unclean. Most monsters do not even have the concept of loyalty between husband and wife.
Therefore, Hu Yanyan could not understand those people who entered Chunming Pavilion but tried to cling to their bodies.
For example, Sang Ling.
Thinking of Sang Ling, Hu Yanyan finally pulled herself away from the enthusiasm of the people in the audience. She frowned slightly.
The people in the audience were still enthusiastic and wanted to pull her off the stage. Hu Yanyan knew her own charm and she never concealed it. The shawl hanging between her arms fluttered, bringing a fragrant breeze that brushed across the noses of the people in the audience.
The people in the audience were even more excited and kept shouting her name.
Hu Yanyan smiled delicately, and took a step back gently as the hands were stretched out in unison by the audience. Her face was full of smiles, but there was a look of anger on her face.
"You men are the best at acting. You like me so much now, I'm afraid you will forget about me if someone better comes along. I don't believe it."
Although it is not a scolding, it is better to say that she is acting coquettishly.
The guests in the audience could not stop him and could only shout loudly: "Brother only wants you! Brother doesn't want anyone else!"
Hu Yanyan covered her lips with her hands and laughed so hard that they shook. "Really? We have a new and interesting person from the court in Chunming Pavilion. You are not allowed to bluff me."
The people in the audience were all stunned for a moment, and then they firmly shouted that they would never bluff.
It would be strange if Hu Yanyan believed it. Men who come to such romantic places are the most heartless. But she doesn't care. Her purpose is to promote Sang Ling.
It's not because of the 28% split. This newcomer is quite interesting. If she could live longer, she would be more interesting in Chunming Pavilion.
Hu Yanyan glanced sideways at the guests below the stage and smiled charmingly.
"Really? This courtier has just entered the cabinet and has already moved into the Oiran's Villa." The guests below the stage were stunned. Regular guests of Chunming Pavilion naturally knew about the Oiran's Villa, and they also knew that only the Oiran could live in it. How could a new courtier live there? Of course he must have something extraordinary about him.
Some people couldn't help but ask Hu Yanyan about the new people who came to the court, but Hu Yanyan kept silent. It was better to just briefly mention this kind of publicity. If there was too much publicity, it would be too strong and might cause rebellious psychology.
This is just right now. The guests below the stage are still looking at her enthusiastically, but they also have high expectations for the new courtier.
After the Jiaotai Banquet was over, the publicity provided by the courtesan Hu Yanyan was indeed powerful, and many guests immediately asked Gou Qiu about the news about the new courtier.
Gou Qiu reacted immediately, "Don't worry, the new people from the court will be out soon, and I hope you will support us when the time comes."
After Hu Yanyan finished entertaining the guests, she was stopped by Gou Qiu.
Gou Qiu looked a little surprised and asked, "You have such a good relationship with her, and you actually promoted her in person."
Hu Yanyan glared and immediately retorted: "How is that possible? She wants to share the spirit stones with me!"
"So, she is willing to sacrifice herself?"
Hu Yanyan shook her head, "Mom, you started dreaming early in the morning."
Gou Qiu also frowned, "I thought she had figured it out and was looking for you to promote it. Forget it, since she came to you, I guess she already has an idea."
Gou Qiu was indeed curious about what Sang Ling was going to do. Sang Ling always looked confident, which made them really want to see what solution she had.
Hu Yanyan was also curious, "She seems to take the Jiaotai Banquet very seriously. She asked me to promote it today. I'm sure she will appear at the Jiaotai Banquet next week."
Gou Qiu frowned, "It's a bit late to come out next week."
There is only one month left until the day of reckoning. Since Sang Ling is unwilling to sacrifice himself, he must make every effort to earn spirit stones in other ways within this month.
Hu Yanyan knew this of course, but it was obvious from the look on Sang Ling's face that she was planning to rely on the Jiaotai Banquet to earn spirit stones, and next week was already the earliest.
But seeing Sang Ling's calm look, he must have his own plans.
Thinking of this, Hu Yanyan walked back to the villa and stood in front of the door of her own attic. After a while, she walked back awkwardly until she arrived in front of Sang Ling's attic.
As soon as she entered the door, she glared and shouted, "I helped you promote it, don't forget my spirit stones!"
Sang Ling, Shengsheng and even Kuang Yan were all there. Hearing the voice, Sang Ling turned around and smiled softly.
"Thank you. I won't forget your spirit stone." After saying that, he looked at the paper in his hand again.
Hu Yanyan became curious and squeezed over to take a look. There was a piece of music on the paper.
"You wrote this?"
She is good at dancing and has some knowledge of these songs, so she can basically tell whether they are good or bad. The quality of the one in Sang Ling's hands is already top-notch.
Sang Ling shook her head. "It was written by Kuang Yan. It's very well written."
Hu Yanyan was a little surprised, "Kuang Yan?"
Kuang Yan, who was standing by, blushed immediately and whispered, "I wanted to help, so I tried to write it down."
Hu Yanyan was really impressed by her. She re-watched the song and found it really good. She said to Sang Ling:
"Then you can use this song when you go on stage next week. It's just perfect."
Sang Ling put away the music and said, "This level is not enough. We need something better."
Hu Yanyan frowned. The quality of this song was already excellent. It would not be a matter of time to come up with a better one.
"Better songs are not something you can get just by wanting them."
Sang Ling is not in a hurry. She started composing her own music when she was a trainee, at the rate of one song a day. Her nationwide fame is largely due to her own lyrics and music.
But the original world is different from the present in every way, even the music preferences are somewhat different.
But music is interconnected, and Kuang Yan's song helped her a lot, allowing her to quickly understand the audience's preferences.
So she didn't take Hu Yanyan's worries to heart.
“There will always be good music.”
Obviously, Sang Ling still couldn't be convinced this time. Hu Yanyan was used to it, but she still said:
"But there's only one week left. If you practice, you won't have enough time to write other songs."
Sang Ling was puzzled: "A week? I don't plan to appear at the Jiaotai Banquet next week."
Hu Yanyan's eyes widened, "So when are you going to appear?"
A bad feeling spread.
"Maybe until the week after next."
Hu Yanyan counted on her fingers and realized that it would be next month soon!
The day after this banquet is the day of reckoning.
Amid the melody of "I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead", Sang Ling still had that indifferent look.
Hu Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Sang Ling must have his own ideas and must be very sure to say such things.
She couldn't help but confirm: "You have your own plans and I won't say much. Anyway, it's okay as long as you are sure."
Sang Ling looked up in confusion.
"Confident? What confidence? I don't have any."
Sang Ling was certainly not sure. After all, these were two different worlds, and it was not certain whether her experience would be useful.
But in Chunming Pavilion, if the idol path works, one banquet will be enough. If not, holding banquets every day will be useless.
Hu Yanyan was filled with anger and was choked to death. Sang Ling was always refreshing her cognition. She was so indifferent that she might have thought she was not going to die, but to sleep.
Hu Yanyan was mad, "You're going to be on stage the week after next, why are you asking me to promote this week?"
Sang Ling looked at her seriously and said, "More publicity will always help."
Hu Yanyan went completely crazy, what the hell is the use!
If they don't come out after promoting it once or twice, these men will just feel like they're being fooled, let alone starting the promotion a month in advance.
It would be best if we promote the Jiaotai Banquet this time and hold it next time.
Hu Yanyan couldn't help but persuade him: "Let's go straight to the Jiaotai Banquet next week. Anyway, we have some good songs now, so a week is enough."
Sang Ling shook her head, "We must be responsible for the stage."
Being fully prepared and practicing the music and dance until they become muscle memory is the basic exercise for idols.
Besides, the first stage is the best opportunity to establish an idol’s public impression.
Hu Yanyan couldn't persuade them anymore. What she was more worried about now was when those guests would become rebellious.
Maybe until the week after next.
As it turned out, Hu Yanyan overestimated the patience of these men.
It was another Jiaotai Banquet, and this time there were more guests than the previous one. Hu Yanyan's publicity was indeed good, and there were many more people at the Jiaotai Banquet this time, waiting to see the new court official.
Hu Yanyan, who was waiting for the finale in the back, had an uglier look than anyone else. When she came on stage, her expression changed rapidly. After the dance, there was prolonged applause from the audience, and then someone asked.
"Where is the new comer?"
"After seven days, it's time to see his true appearance."
"The new Chaoren score seems a bit big?"
…
Hu Yanyan cursed Sang Ling in her heart, but she still had a coquettish look on her face, and said angrily:
"You men are always fickle. Even when I'm standing on the stage, you're still thinking about the new arrival."
The audience members comforted each other with their voices, and finally their emotions were suppressed.
But even if this Jiaotai Banquet is about to pass, the patience of these guests can only last until next week's Jiaotai Banquet.
If Sang Ling doesn't go on stage, the publicity effect at this moment will only be counter-acted, which is not a good thing.
Hu Yanyan told Gou Qiu everything. She couldn't persuade Sang Ling, but maybe Gou Qiu could.
But as expected, Sang Ling once again refused to go on stage at the Jiaotai Banquet next week, and no one knew what she was being stubborn about.
Hu Yanyan was so angry that she never went to see Sang Ling again until the next Jiaotai Banquet, and she didn't even go near Sang Ling's attic.
But what is coming will come, and the third Jiaotai Banquet was held again, with more guests than last time. The publicity of Sang Ling's mysterious Fox Yanyan did attract many people, but it was also the end of their patience.
In addition to Hu Yanyan, Shuang Lian, who ranked third on the Oiran list, also appeared at the banquet. She went on stage in front of Hu Yanyan. She was also dancing, but her style was different from Hu Yanyan's charm. Her style was more light, agile, playful and cute.
Shuang Lian did not attend the Jiaotai banquet for long, but after one dance, the guests in the audience were extremely excited.
Then someone asked:
"What kind of newcomer is this of yours? He's keeping us in suspense!"
Shuang Lian on the stage nodded gently and replied softly: "She is fine."
Although Shuang Lian had never had any contact with Sang Ling, she was also paying attention to him silently.
With the praise from the two courtesans, the guests in the audience were very interested in Sang Ling. As soon as Hu Yanyan came on stage and finished her dance, she was immediately greeted with a series of questions.
"Where is the new comer?"
"Is she the last to appear?"
"It's time to come out. I can't wait any longer."
…
Hu Yanyan almost couldn't even maintain her expression. She held on to her smile and said coquettishly:
"Who cares if she comes out or not? I am right in front of you."
She still wanted to use the same trick as last time, but this time the audience didn't buy it.
Surviving in the demon world, he still has the mood and spare money to come to Chunming Pavilion for entertainment. No one in the audience is a good person.
At this moment, no matter how beautiful the woman was, the anger of being teased overwhelmed everything.
"What a big deal! Why, do you want me to go to the boudoir to invite her?"
"It seems that this newcomer from the dynasty has lost sight of his own kind and is playing tricks on us?"
"I'm used to giving you face, but you don't even take us, a newcomer from the court, seriously?"
…
Even if these people give face to Chaoren on a daily basis, in reality Chaoren is still their toy for entertainment. Even if she is an oiran, she is just a more expensive toy.
How could they bear being teased by a newcomer from the court like this?
A window of the stone building opposite Jiaotaiyan suddenly opened, and what came out from the window was no longer the sound of rewards, but a sneer.
"Your Chunming Pavilion is so grand now, a court official..."
He said nothing more, just snorted coldly.
As soon as he spoke, even Gou Qiu couldn't sit still anymore and hurried out.
"It's our Chunming Pavilion's fault. This courtier has contracted an acute illness for some reason, which delayed her release. Gentlemen, rest assured, I will definitely let her out next week even if she is not feeling well."
This was the only reason Gou Qiu could think of at the moment.
If it was just ordinary guests in the audience who had opinions, Gou Qiu would not come out. However, the people sitting in the stone building were different from ordinary guests. The stone building was called Chaolou, with eight floors, eleven rooms on each floor, and a total of eighty-eight rooms.
The Nest Tower was designed for Chunming Pavilion, but if it was only designed for Chunming Pavilion, it would never be scarce and precious. One reason is that it is close to Moshengze, and no one would dare to cause trouble or hurt anyone here. It is simply a treasure trove of refuge.
The second is that the Demon Lord had entered the nest building. This alone makes the compartments in the nest building extremely valuable and only the most powerful people can obtain them.
The one who spoke today must be a powerful person.
If such a powerful person has any objections, it will be a big problem.
