Chapter 101 Costume



With the blessing of the late emperor, the Ye family was instantly revived, and many people came to join the Ye family's opera troupe.

The Ye family members were all busy performing in operas, and they needed manpower at that time. Anyone who liked opera was recruited into their ranks.

In addition, many people have come to the Ye family to seek cooperation, but the Ye family is unwilling to do so, focusing only on opera and drama.

Six months later, all sorts of strange things began to happen in the Ye family.

At the same time, many members of the Ye family received death threats, threatening them that they could no longer continue performing.

At first, no one paid attention, but as the men of the Ye family died one by one in accidents, the Ye family finally realized that something was wrong.

However, those who booked their trips were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so they couldn't break their contracts at will and could only try every means to prevent the news from getting out.

Gradually, it became not only the men of the Ye family who died, but also the women.

The truth will out, and the people of Jingning City learned of their family's "curse."

They weren't afraid that the Ye family's curse would harm them, but they still secretly spread the word, since the Ye family had stolen their business.

Therefore, Ye's father, who was barely clinging to life, left his hometown with his twin daughters and then disappeared without a trace. Everyone thought they were dead.

The boss sighed as he said this, looking somewhat wistful.

"To be honest, the Ye family was once very glorious. I still remember how glorious they were back then. But I never expected that things would turn out so quickly, and such a large family could fall into decline overnight."

After saying that, he sighed deeply: "My wife and I used to be fans of the Ye family's operas. After thinking it over, we changed the Ye family's crest and made it into embroidery on our clothes. We never expected it to be so popular."

Hearing him say that, Lou Mu didn't know what to say.

Just as I was about to ask something else, I heard footsteps coming from upstairs.

He looked up and saw Tang Nian slowly walking down the stairs.

The moment Lou Mu saw Tang Nian emerge, he froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

Tang Nian tried on a long, pink dress.

She usually dresses simply so that it is convenient for her to do things.

Thinking that she was going to such a grand theater and could also gather information, she chose an exceptionally gorgeous long dress.

Lou Mu was stunned when he saw Tang Nian dressed so brightly for the first time.

He had always known of Tang Nian's beauty, and the clothes he prepared for her in the capital were mostly in plain colors. He never expected that Tang Nian would look so beautiful in such gorgeous clothes.

Seeing how well Tang Nian dressed his clothes, the shopkeeper was very pleased.

This big deal is definitely going to happen!

Lou Mu, standing next to him, stared wide-eyed; it was obvious what their relationship was.

The shopkeeper chuckled and said to Lou Mu, "This young lady is truly beautiful. All the clothes in my shop are made of the finest materials, and only someone as beautiful as you can be worthy of them."

Tang Nian scratched her head awkwardly, feeling that the shopkeeper was being a bit too extravagant in trying to get her to buy clothes.

Lou Mu, however, was quite satisfied.

He nodded, agreeing with the shopkeeper's praise: "You look really good in this dress, better than anyone else."

He spoke very earnestly, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with what he was saying.

"What, am I not beautiful in my everyday clothes?"

For some reason, Tang Nian suddenly made a cheeky remark, raising her eyebrows slightly in rebuttal.

Lou Mu paused for a moment, then shook his head and said half-jokingly, "You're always beautiful, but you're just exceptionally beautiful today."

Originally, Tang Nian was teasing Lou Mu.

For some reason, Tang Nian blushed deeply after Lou Mu said those words.

The shopkeeper watched the interaction between the two and was secretly pleased, knowing that this time it was probably a done deal.

Lou Mu did not disappoint him, and with a wave of his hand, he pointed to all the clothes that Tang Nian had just picked out.

Please wrap up all these clothes for me.

Without even asking the price, he tossed a gold ingot directly to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper grinned from ear to ear and quickly agreed.

The innkeeper dared not neglect such a precious gold ingot, so he asked for the address and promised to personally deliver it to the inn later.

Tang Nian looked at the huge pile of clothes and realized it wouldn't be convenient for her to carry them back herself, so she agreed.

However, she didn't forget that she had to go to the Fuyao Opera House at exactly 5 PM.

"Shopkeeper, can these clothes be delivered before 5 PM?"

The shopkeeper said proudly to Tang Nian and Lou Mu, "Don't worry, my shop is one of the best in the city. Since I've agreed, I'll definitely get it done for you!"

"So, according to you, all the costumes for these opera troupes were ordered from you?"

"That's right!" The shopkeeper patted his chest, and he couldn't stop talking about it. "Not to mention those ordinary small opera troupes, even the costumes for the Fuyao Opera House are made by us."

The shopkeeper's face was full of pride as he said this.

"oh?"

Tang Nian was surprised to find that there was indeed an unexpected joy.

She thought for a moment, then asked with curiosity, "Shopkeeper, may I take a look at the costumes made by Fuyao Opera House?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard Tang Nian say that.

"I love watching plays, and I've always heard that the costumes at Fuyao Theater are more elaborate than those of ordinary theater troupes. Manager, could you let me take a look?"

Seemingly hesitant, but considering that Lou Mu and Tang Nian had spent a considerable amount of money at their shop that day, she gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Of course."

After saying that, he directed his young apprentice to fetch the clothes.

Upon hearing this, the young waiter immediately ran into the hall and soon came out carrying a box of clothes.

Tang Nian went up to take a look, and sure enough, these clothes were all magnificent and exquisitely made, with even the subtle patterns on each costume being different.

Looking at the patterns, Tang Nian asked the shopkeeper with some curiosity, "I wonder if there's any significance to the subtle patterns on these clothes?"

Hearing Tang Nian say this, the shopkeeper smiled and shook his head.

"The patterns on these were all drawn at the Fuyao Opera House and then sent to me to be custom-made by embroiderers. As for the explanation... I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian nodded.

His gaze fell on the uniforms of these troupes, as if he wanted to memorize the pattern.

It took a while before I looked away.

Back at the inn, the lobby was full of guests having their meals, and I could hear people talking in the front of the hall.

As Tang Nian walked past those people, she deliberately slowed down, which allowed her to overhear some useful information.

The invitations they had allowed them to attend three consecutive days of performances.

But Tang Nian didn't feel happy.

Three days means there will be even greater danger.

Back in her room, it was still early before the show, but she wasn't sleepy at all.

However, Lou Mu wanted to rest for a while, so Tang Nian, who had no energy to spare, could only sit in front of the dressing table and start fiddling with the rouge and powder that Lou Mu had bought for her.
