Chapter 385： Reason for invitation

...

At the same time, Liu Ruyan took the invitation and came to the gate of the villa compound.

"It turned out to be Master Liu." The guard returned the post to her after checking the post, "Please come in. There are attendants in there to lead the way, you just need to follow."

"Thank you." Liu Ruyan walked across the gate after saluting and followed his attendants up the mountain.

It was the first time she entered this suburban villa.

Everyone in Jinxia knows that this is the residence of Princess Quang Binh, and before the princess came to Jinxia, ​​it was also the palace where the royal family was eligible to stay.

The scale of the villa is the best proof.

There are more than ten imposing palaces and pavilions standing on the mountain, connected by gravel paths; flowerbeds, rockeries, pavilions, and water parks are overwhelming, and close to the outer edge of the wall, there are many exquisite bungalows. These high and low houses add Get up, it is estimated that thousands of people will not be crowded.

Liu Ruyan never imagined that he would have stepped into such a place one day.

And the inviter was not the princess herself, but Lord Xia Fan.

Turning into a courtyard from the fork of the mountain road, and then passing through a long pavilion along the boardwalk, the two came to a large hall.

"Miss Liu, this is it." The attendant bowed slightly, "Please go in, Master Xia is waiting for you inside."

Liu Ruyan suddenly felt that her heart was beating a little bit fiercely.

It was not that she had thought about some things, but the status and identity were there, and this thought was just like many fantasies, just a flash in her mind.

She took a deep breath and walked forward into the hall.

Before stepping into the lobby, Liu Ruyan heard a familiar voice.

Suddenly, most of her nervousness disappeared. She walked two steps quickly and pushed open the main entrance of the lobby, "Yan'er? It's really you!"

"Ru, Ruyan?" Yan'er looked at her in surprise, "Why are you here too?"

"That's what I want to ask you." Liu Ruyan said while looking around - besides Yan'er in the lobby, there were more than a dozen women, all of whom looked good. Some people have a vague impression of her, while others are strangers she has never met, "I heard that you also left the Drunken Brothel, but why didn't you come to the school to be a teacher?"

Yanzi hesitated before repliing, "Because I am afraid of seeing you."

This answer made Liu Ruyan stunned for a while, "We used to...were not sisters?"

"Yes, that's why I feel sorry for you." Yanzi scratched her head in embarrassment. "When you were locked up by the boss, I used to say bad things about you..."

Liu Ruyan stared at her for a long time, "Did you think that I didn't know good or bad, and actually refuted Young Master Zhou's face, or was whimsical and wanted to be an official in the bureau?"

Yanzi couldn't help but bowed her head and punched her, "You really know everything!"

"I guessed it," Liu Ruyan couldn't help laughing. "In the Qingyiyuan, aren't everyone discussing these things on weekdays? I hope to get the favor of a beloved, and Zhou Gongzi is also The kind of person who pretends to be good on the surface. If I hadn't experienced it personally, I'm afraid I would have the same idea as you, right?"

Yanzi raised her head unexpectedly, "...Don't you blame me?"

"Well, it's a thing of the past, there is nothing weird about. If you have to say who is wrong, I think it should be the Drunken Brothel itself."

"I'm sorry..." Yanzi whispered.

"I accept your apology." Liu Ruyan took two steps forward and hugged her gently.

"But having said that, do you know how jealous of you other sisters were at that time?" Yanzi muttered suddenly after being silent for a while, "Just when I was half angry with Young Master Zhou, he turned his head and was received by Master Xia again. In the end, he really became A master teacher appeared on the stage with Her Royal Highness and others in the first class of the school. That day was also the worst day for Drunken Brothel. Nearly half of the sisters decided to find a way out by themselves. I heard that the proprietress fainted in a hurry."

"So there is still such a thing?"

"Yes, the people who laughed at you before ran faster than anyone else, of course...including me." Yanzi's tone seemed to let go a lot, "I was still thinking when I just received the invitation from Master Xia. Finally, good luck came to my turn. I didn't expect that he called so many girls, including you. It seems that I am being sentimental."

This apparently half-joking remark made Liu Ruyan endure the joke. Although she had a similar mood, she confirmed that it was not more relaxed in her heart.

"Then, do you want to be a master? The department has been short of people recently."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in little ghosts." Yanzi separated from her. "It's annoying to hear them noisy, let alone teach them. After leaving the drunk brothel, I found a tune in a cloth shop. Color work, you know, I usually like painting."

"And the piano is also very good." Liu Ruyan nodded.

"Never mind the piano, there shouldn't be any chance to play it again after there is no need to please guests."

At this moment, there was a whisper among the women.

The two interrupted their conversation and looked to the other side of the hall, only to see a man walking towards this side.

The person who came was the sender of the invitation-Xia Fan.

"Good afternoon, ladies." He made a gesture to everyone, and he moved a cushion in the middle of the lobby and sat down. "Thank you for taking the time to come to the villa. This time I invite you all. Your outstanding talents and rich experience in performance."

"One week later, it will be the end of winter and the arrival of the new year. Her Royal Highness decided to hold a grand celebration on this day and set it as the first long holiday of Jinxia. The ceremony will last three days in total, and finally Many performances will be staged in the city every day. Music and dance are indispensable. This requires your help to achieve a complete success." Xia Fan smiled, "Although I am responsible for overall planning and program arrangements, The specific details still depend on the guidance of the professionals."

"My lord, you are too polite." A woman leaned forward. "Compared to your helping the little girl, this requires nothing."

"Indeed. We may not understand anything else, but we still know a little bit about playing, singing and dancing."

Xia Fan waved his hand, "This is not just a help, but an extra job, during which the remuneration and necessary subsidies will not be less. If you are unwilling to accept it, you can also bring it up at any time—— Since it is the work of the Secretariat, it will naturally not be mandatory."

No one left.

Liu Ruyan also had a strange feeling in her heart.

Obviously, when showing his talents in the drunk brothel, there is always a kind of unspeakable boredom and boredom, but at this moment, he does not feel repulsive.

"I understand." Xia Fan looked around for a week and then nodded, "That's right-in addition to providing consultation and guidance for the celebration, there is one more thing that needs your professional ability, and that is to teach someone to sing."

"Who is that person?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

"Chi."

Where does this name seem to be seen...

Liu Ruyan thought for a while, and then showed a surprised look, "Could it be that she is—"

"Yes," Xia Fan affirmed her guess, "she is the dragon girl in Shenjin Weekly."
