PFC Chapter 281: Go to the Hall
Chapter 281: Go to the Hall
Seeing that Meng Ning refused to leave, the girls felt helpless and stared at him with gritted teeth, cursing this damn enemy in their hearts.
Although they were numerous and powerful, they were helpless in the face of Meng Ning's shameless behavior.
If he was just an ordinary rascal, we could just find someone to chase him away, but Meng Ning was a seeker of the law, and he had the background of the Lu family, so ordinary people didn't dare to touch him, nor could they do anything to him.
Seeing this, an older woman couldn't help but say, "How can you be such a scoundrel? You are a man, but you actually do such a shameless thing!"
Meng Ning didn't take it seriously, instead he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you are a scoundrel, as long as I can see Lu Shengxiong, I am willing to bear this infamy."
After hearing this, the women looked at each other in bewilderment. Some whispered, "This guy is quite interesting. He doesn't look like someone who is here to cause trouble."
"That's right. If he really had bad intentions, given his ability, why would he go through so much trouble?" another person echoed.
"Yes, although the way of waiting is indecent and shameless, the fact that they did not use violence shows that they are kind people."
At this moment, the girls all had a good impression of Meng Ning and others.
Then the red-dressed woman in the lead said, "We won't make things difficult for you. Every place has its own rules. If you are a guest, we will welcome you."
But if I'm just a guest, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Sister Xiong again in this lifetime."
Erguo looked confused: "Why?"
The woman in red laughed and said, "Silly boy, if you go to a restaurant to eat, you can only meet the chef at most, how can you have the chance to meet the boss?"
Meng Ning thought for a moment and had to admit that she had some truth in her words.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "So, in your opinion, what should we do?"
The red-dressed woman continued, "Since this young master has been invited by the Lu family, he must know about the Thousand Lantern Dance God Festival."
“The Thousand Lanterns Dance is an annual event in Yangzhou City.
Now that the festival is approaching, everyone in Shili Waterside is busy preparing for it.
At this time, let alone you outsiders, even for us sisters, it is extremely difficult to see Lu Shengxiong."
Hearing this, Haishan couldn't help but frowned: "Is there no other way?"
Another charming woman burst out laughing: "There is a way, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it."
Meng Ning's eyes lit up: "What's the solution? Tell me now!"
The woman waved the round fan in her hand and said slowly: "The only one who can see Sister Xiong now is the top geisha in Tianshang Renjian Building. If you can sneak in, you may still have a chance."
When Miao Qingqing heard this, she couldn't help but straighten her chest: "Then don't I have a chance?"
The girls all looked at Miao Qingqing and discussed at once:
"This girl is very pretty."
"It's a pity that my figure is still a little bit lacking. But there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not at that age yet."
"I'm afraid it's hard to be selected if your eyes and eyebrows are not charming enough. But you can be trained, and there is hope for the future."
A group of sisters commented that Miao Qingqing blushed, felt embarrassed and annoyed.
Meng Ning suddenly became thoughtful: "If we are not geishas, can't we just go in and spend money when Tianshang Renjian opens?"
The women burst into laughter when they heard this. The leading woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "My lord, you don't know that normally, Tianshang Renjian Tower welcomes everyone who comes.
But on the eve of the Thousand Lantern Dance, the place is naturally closed to visitors."
The girls all said at once: "If we want to see Sister Xiong in this way, we can only wait until after the Thousand Lantern Dance Festival."
Hearing this, Meng Ning couldn't help but slap his thigh and said, "I can't wait! This matter concerns life and death, and there is no time to delay."
The girls looked at each other, and the older girl in red smiled and said, "But there is another way. Becoming a technician may also allow you to enter the heavenly world."
"Technician?" Meng Ning was confused.
"They are the support staff for the show." Another girl added, "But you have to pass the fourth building first."
Haishan frowned: "Fourth building?"
The girls talked one after another and told the origins of the four buildings.
"Of course, they are the four most famous brothels in this ten-mile waterside singing and dancing area."
Then a sister started to introduce, "There is a saying:
Elegant and subtle feelings linger around the painted beams, and wonderful music lingers in the air.
In the dream of flowers, the fragrance is so deep and the aroma is so lingering."
"To the east, there is the Painting Tower, Yayunxuan; to the west, there is the Music Tower, Miaoyinfang; to the south, there is the Dance Tower, Qimenglou; to the north, there is the Restaurant, Zuixiangge; these are the four most famous buildings in Yangzhou City."
“Heaven on Earth gathers the best of the four floors and can be regarded as the pinnacle of Yangzhou art studios.
Those who can work in Tian Shang Ren Jian are all top technicians in the four buildings, and those who can work in the four buildings are all geniuses in various fields. "
At this point, the woman who was explaining the story seemed a little sad.
"The Fourth Building takes in girls from poor families or those who have nowhere to go. As long as they have talent, they will be selected, and they will simply sell their art, not their bodies."
"So, in the four buildings, the skills of the technicians are at the pinnacle."
Then the girls pointed at San Zhen and his group and shook their heads, "Dear Dharma seekers, it's not that we girls look down on you.
But I really think it’s a little doubtful that you can pass the test of the four buildings.
After all, everyone has his or her own strengths. Although you guys are quite talented in spiritual practice, you may not be so talented in the art fields such as music, painting, wine, and dance.
So, when it comes to painting, music, dancing, and brewing, let alone comparing with the best in the four buildings, I am afraid I can’t even compare with those girls who were not selected.”
"You guys...just give up."
give up?
Meng Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "Isn't it just about passing the skill tests of the four buildings? Do I have to pass all of them or just one?"
One of the girls in the group chuckled and said, "One family will do."
"Okay, then I choose Miaoyinfang!" Meng Ning said firmly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the girls stood there in a daze, their eyes full of disbelief.
The people around were also in an uproar, whispering and talking to each other.
Erguo couldn't help but ask, "Junior brother, when did you learn music?"
Meng Ning smiled mysteriously and said, "When I was young, I had the honor to learn skills from an old man.
The old man's name was Wang Yaozu. Apart from anything else, his erhu playing was the best in the world.
I am confident that I will be able to catch the eye of Miaoyinfang."
After that, Meng Ning asked again: "How do I get to Miaoyinfang to take the test?"
Upon hearing this, the girls couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if they had heard some huge joke.
The people around him were the same, looking at Meng Ning with strange eyes.
Meng Ning was confused and frowned, "What's going on? Isn't it just a test? Why are you making such a fuss?"
A girl in pink in the group of girls covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled. She said, "It seems like you guys don't know something. The challenge at Miaoyinfang is a little special."
"Oh? How special?" Meng Ning became interested.
The pink-shirted lady explained slowly, "It's very simple, you just need to sit in front of the gate of Miaoyinfang and play your music.
From the moment you attract the first customer, you have officially challenged Miaoyinfang.
Miaoyinfang's test of you has officially begun."
"Is it that simple?" Meng Ning was a little unconvinced.
"Of course it's more than that. When our customers are snatched away by our competitors, Miaoyinfang will naturally retaliate," the pink-shirted woman continued.
"Then Miaoyinfang will send its internal technicians to compete with you. You sing, and they sing. During the competition, the onlookers can give tips. In the end, whoever has the most money in front of him wins."
Meng Ning was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Why does this sound like a challenge?"
"That's right, it's a challenge!" the girls answered in unison.
Meng Ning finally understood at this moment. No wonder people around him were so interested in this.
He looked around and found that quite a few people had gathered to watch the fun without him noticing.
Seeing more and more people coming, the pink-dressed woman smiled and asked, "Sir, are you scared?"
"Are you scared? Or rather, this is more interesting."
A hint of excitement flashed in Meng Ning's eyes, and then he waved his hand behind him.
Let’s go, everyone, let’s go challenge the masters!
