Chapter 815 Parachute Arrival
Yun Zhao noticed Lin Yuesha's hoarse voice and immediately felt a pang of sympathy. She was a singer at Yun Zhao Pavilion, and if Helian Cheng's mansion needed someone, he could find a way to get the young lady into the position.
After discussing it, Lin Yuesha and Yun Ge entered the alien Jinyu Pass through a secret passage.
"Miss, Yunzhao Pavilion is not far ahead."
The two sat in the carriage, and Yun Ge introduced the local customs and culture of Jinyu Pass. The people here are quite different from those in Daqi. They don't like to listen to operas but instead love singing and dancing.
Yun Zhaoge enjoyed a great reputation in Jinyuguan, and she had visited the residences of many powerful and influential people.
Unlike the lowly actors of the Great Qi, courtesans held a relatively high status among the foreign tribes. At least they wouldn't be looked down upon, and no one would lay a hand on them. "I've been in Yunzhao Pavilion for over half a year, and I've only been harassed once."
Xianzhushou was a burly woodcutter in Helian's mansion. He got drunk and started groping people. I heard he was later beaten up.
Among the foreign tribes, there are not many strict rules about gender separation, and their lifestyle is quite unrestrained. They also have few prejudices against social classes. It is said that the wife of a famous general among the foreign tribes was once a famous songstress.
"You must be careful. Do not mention Daqi here, not even a little bit."
Although Jinyuguan traded goods with Daqi for many years, they basically did not intermarry. The people of other ethnic groups had a deep hatred for Daqi, and those Daqi people who came to do business were often robbed. If Jinyuguan were not such a desirable place, no one would risk their life to trade there.
"Now that the two countries are at war, the shops of the Great Qi on the street have long been closed, and the merchants have long since gone into hiding."
Yun Ge lifted the curtain of the carriage and pointed out several shops to Lin Yuesha. The shops, which used to be bustling with customers, had been smashed and looted. The doors were ajar, and the inside had been emptied.
"Have you been to Helian Cheng's residence?"
This information was very important to Lin Yuesha. She carefully memorized it and inquired about it from Yun Ge.
Upon arriving in this alien realm, she was no longer some young lady, but rather Yun Duo, a member of the Yun Zhao Pavilion. This new mask fit her exceptionally well and was breathable, no wonder the pockmarked face was reluctant to take it off.
Lin Yuesha carried a small bronze mirror with her and touched her cheek with her hand. She looked so beautiful.
Lin Yuesha was quite satisfied with her own appearance, but this beautiful face was even more beautiful than hers, as delicate as a flower.
"I've been there."
Yun Ge didn't have much of an impression of Helian Cheng's mansion. It seemed that Helian Cheng didn't like women and kept a group of male lovers in his mansion. In addition, her deepest impression was that all the servants in the mansion were ugly and deformed.
There are also rumors that because Helian Cheng was ugly, he brought all the ugly people from Jinyuguan to his mansion as servants, so that he wouldn't be the ugliest one in comparison.
As for news about Xu Da, Yun Zhaoge had been ordered to keep it hidden and had not made any deliberate attempts to find out.
"Okay, I understand."
After entering Yunzhao Pavilion, Lin Yuesha still needs to have a special skill.
"What should I do if I don't have this?"
Sooner or later, the truth would come out, so Lin Yuesha had no choice but to tell the truth: a distinguished guest had come to Helian City’s mansion and had already asked Yunzhao Pavilion for the person to be brought to the mansion in the next two days.
She could easily slip in, but the problem was that something might go wrong on stage. If she stood out too much, people would be suspicious.
"You don't need to worry about that."
Yun Ge offered Lin Yuesha a suggestion, saying she had a good idea: "The songstresses will perform, and the dancers will appear on stage with their faces covered, and then..."
"You mean lip-syncing?"
Lin Yuesha was speechless. She never imagined that the lip-syncing issue that was causing such a stir in modern times had existed for a very long time.
Yun Ge meant that Lin Yuesha would lip-sync, and then Yun Ge would provide the voiceover while dancing, creating a duo performance.
Although it's a bit dangerous, it's a very effective method. When some of the sisters in Yunzhao Pavilion were unwell, everyone cooperated in this way to get away with it.
"good."
Lin Yuesha originally wanted to blend into the dancers' group, but if she made a mistake, she would immediately attract Helian Cheng's attention, so it was better to fake it.
If Xu Da is indeed imprisoned in Helian Cheng's mansion, Helian Cheng will definitely keep a close watch on him, and everyone who enters the mansion will have their background investigated.
"Miss, please rest assured, Granny Hua will also mediate."
After Yun Ge's introduction, Lin Yuesha gained a better understanding of Yun Zhaoge and felt less unfamiliar upon entering.
"Girls, a distinguished guest has arrived at Lord Helian's residence. You must hurry up and practice, as you will be entering the residence tomorrow."
Granny Hua gathered everyone together and then brought out Lin Yuesha, introducing her as a relative of hers.
"Miss Cloud, you are so beautiful."
"Yes, even I, as a woman, am tempted."
The women in Yunzhao Pavilion were generally harmonious, but there were also some troublemakers who expressed their dissatisfaction with Lin Yuesha's sudden arrival.
“Granny Hua, Yun Duo is a relative of yours, but she’s going to Lord Helian’s residence this time, and she hasn’t rehearsed with her sisters before. What if…”
Yunxu was straightforward. It wasn't that she didn't accept the new sisters; she had heard from people in Helian's mansion that the distinguished guest was a very important person, even higher in status than Lord Helian.
Yunxu is eighteen this year. If she is not taken by someone soon, does she have to wait until she is twenty?
She came to the mansion this time because she wanted the favor of the distinguished guest, but what was Hua Mama thinking when she planted a relative here at this time? Did she not know?
This cloud, with its alluring beauty and youthful charm, naturally has an advantage over her. If the cloud leaves, what chance does she have?
That's why Yunxu strongly objected.
The sisters exchanged glances, each knowing the other's thoughts, but none of them spoke.
They had the same idea as Yunxu, but if they weren't chosen, they would have to return to Yunzhao Pavilion, and they couldn't afford to offend Granny Hua.
"Is this your reason?"
Granny Hua's face darkened as she looked at Yun Xu and said, "Does Yun Duo's joining the group put you in a difficult position?"
"Granny Hua..."
These words were too direct, and Yun Xuhua's face paled. However, after a moment of panic, she calmed down and said, "Granny Hua, I'll be nineteen after the New Year. How much longer can I waste in Yunzhao Pavilion?"
Among the sisters, Yunxu is the eldest. Some wealthy businessmen have taken a liking to her, but she is proud and arrogant. She treats even the wealthiest businessmen like dogs in front of those with power.
Yunxu would rather be a concubine to a powerful and wealthy man than become the principal wife of a merchant.
Is it wrong to plan more for yourself?
“Yunxu, you entered Yunzhao Pavilion when you were ten years old, and it has been nine years now.”
Granny Hua paused for a moment, then reminded Yun Xu, "In recent years, Yun Zhao Pavilion has grown stronger, and we have opportunities to visit the homes of powerful and influential people every year. But has anyone taken a liking to you?"
Sisters kept leaving Yunzhao Pavilion to get married and have children, as long as they were given some silver. Granny Hua was not a heartless person, and this was not the Great Qi Dynasty. She never restricted the girls under her command.
If Yunxu had a good opportunity to climb the social ladder, Granny Hua would be more than happy, but she wouldn't allow Yunxu to rise to power by stepping on others.
