According to Childe's point of view, Yinxia climbed the southern mountain peak when the sky was about to darken.

Approaching the summit, two closed vermilion lacquer gates are in front of you. But I saw that there was a gilded black plaque on the Zhu Gate, with four big characters on it: Junan Villa. The four Zhuang Ding were on both sides of the Zhu Gate, all of them standing straight with their swords hanging from their waists, looking from afar, like four doorposts.

Yinxia stepped forward and reported the name of the owner of Qiluo Xiangfang to Zhuang Ding, claiming to be a dancer. Zhuang Ding seemed to be accustomed to it, and without further questioning, he led her into the house.

She followed Zhuang Ding all the way into the house. At first glance, this Junan Villa does not look very majestic, but who knows that the area in the mansion is huge. At this time, it is late, and the lights along the way, the cornices, corridors, pavilions, and pavilions are all in the haze.

Thinking of how many closed doors she had eaten along the way, but this time she entered the door so smoothly, Yinxia couldn't help but sigh: As long as you master the right method, this wealthy compound is not as difficult to enter as imagined. Thinking of this, she suddenly increased her confidence in this deal with Childe Ye.

After walking for a long time, she came to a noisy courtyard. Zhuang Ding instructed her to line up and left.

Yinxia looked forward at the end of the line, and saw that there were already twenty or thirty women waiting in line outside the courtyard, all of them carefully dressed up and dressed exquisitely.

She couldn't help but secretly feel lucky, fortunately she followed Childe's advice and changed her outfit. It seems that as he said, this Wen family's dancing girl is not so easy to be. However, she had heard that dancing girls were not a glorious profession in the Central Plains. Why are there so many people coming? Wouldn't there be people like her, who want to do that lucrative business?

Xu is the movement she probed to check was too big, and the girl in front of her turned around and looked at her melancholy, "This sister, are you also worried that you won't be able to choose?" The girl is not tall, with a lovely round face, but she is painted with strong makeup, and it is difficult to tell her age for a while.

However, since she called her sister, Yinxia asked her the confusion in her heart, "Why do so many people come to be dancing girls?"

"You don't even know this, do you?" the round-faced girl said in surprise, "Master Wen's fiftieth birthday this time is extraordinary. Among the guests, there are not only squires from all over the world, but also literati and heroes, and even many dignitaries and dignitaries will also participate. Therefore, the Wen family specially invited the famous dancer Xu Zizhan from Kyoto. This Master Xu choreographed a full house dance for the birthday banquet. This dance requires 100 dancers to perform together, and it is for this reason that Wenfu recruits dancers. ”

Yinxia had just learned about the recruitment of dancing girls in the Wen Mansion from Gongzi Ye, and she had never heard of Master Xu before. In order not to lose face, she nodded firmly, "Of course I know about this! But there are too many people here, right?"

The round-faced girl sighed, her eyes becoming more and more melancholy, "Originally, it was not easy to recruit a hundred dancing girls, but suddenly news came from the Wen Mansion: it was said that after the birthday was over, Master Xu would select his favorite disciples from among these hundred people and bring them back to the Manlou Chunyu Qingge Workshop in the capital to focus on training." I think that the full building of the Spring Rain Qing Song Workshop is the most luxurious song and dance workshop in the capital, I heard that it costs hundreds of taels of silver to just enter to watch a song and dance. It's the best place for dancers. For women with no identity background, if they can enter the dance studio, they can get to know the nobles of the capital, which can be described as a step to the sky. As soon as the news of Master Xu's selection of apprentices came out, all the women from all over the world came. ”

Yinxia let out an "oh", but put her mind at ease. It doesn't matter what the Beijing Dance Workshop chooses disciples for, as long as it's not a competitor in its own business.

"Sister, why aren't you worried at all?" Seeing her look like this, the round-faced girl couldn't help but wonder.

"Worried about what?"

"I'm worried that I won't be able to choose. The round-faced girl's smart dark eyes flashed with deep worry, "Now hundreds of people come to run for election every day, and just now there has been a word in the mansion that it will no longer recruit dancing girls after tonight." ”

Yinxia smiled slightly and didn't care, I don't know if Gongziye's self-confidence infected her, she couldn't choose anything, she didn't think about it at all.

The round-faced girl tilted her head to look at her and continued, "I also heard that the reason why so many people came here was because of another insider information. It is said that Master Wen wants to take the opportunity of his birthday to choose a wife for his family's four sons. ”

"I know that!" Yinxia nodded, a smile deepening on her face. It seems that Childe's news is quite accurate, and even this inside information can be known.

"Could it be that my sister is here for the fourth prince of Wen?" the round-faced girl blinked, as if she had an understanding, "Speaking of the fourth prince of Wen, he is really a dragon and phoenix among people, not only his appearance is refined, but his martial arts are also the true inheritance of Master Wen." I heard that after the kendo predecessor Fengji Dao saw him dancing the sword, he wrote a poem for him. Among them, the phrase "Zhilan Qiong crumbs are not fragrant, and Su Guangliu flies by sword" has been widely spread. This sentence not only praises the beauty of Wen Sigongzi's swordsmanship, but also refers to his appearance and posture, which is overwhelming. It is said that several young ladies who had a relationship with him are still thinking about him for a long time, and they don't think about tea and dinner......"

Yinxia frowned when she heard this, and was about to open her mouth to deny it, when she suddenly heard a sneer behind her.

"I advise you not to be delusional!" As he spoke, a young girl came from behind them.

She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an apricot face and peach cheeks, slender eyebrows and cherry lips, and her petite and delicate body was wrapped in a gorgeous dance costume, delicate and beautiful like a juanren doll who could move.

The Central Plains woman is really different. Yinxia was stunned, and couldn't help but recall the Song Yu Cifu that Gongzi had chanted at night.

"Juan Doll" glanced at Yinxia, but there was disdain in her eyes, "The barbarian woman actually came to run." Although you look a little good, the fourth prince of Wen will never take a fancy to you. I advise you, go back quickly, and don't get bored here. ”

"That fourth son of yours, I didn't pay attention to it!" The astonishment in Yinxia's eyes immediately turned into anger.

"Remember what you said. The "Juan Doll" walked in front of her proudly with her eyebrows raised and her nose raised.

She walked past the women in the queue and walked to the door of the small courtyard. I saw her take out an object and show it to the doorman, who asked a few words and respectfully invited her in.

Yinxia was puzzled and angrily asked the round-faced girl, "Everyone is queuing, why can she go in directly?"

"Don't you see, she has a guarantee. The round-faced girl's eyes were full of envy.

"Guarantee?"

"Yes. If there is a shop approved by the Wen family as a guarantee, you can be directly selected for Master Xu's dance hall without going through the initial audition. However, there are very few shops that have been approved by the Wen family, and those shops cherish their feathers and will not be casually guaranteed for others. ”

"Is this the kind of guarantee you are talking about?" Yinxia took out "The Strange Moon is Like a Dream".

"Isn't this the first incense bottle of Qiluo Xiangfang!" The round-faced girl's eyes lit up, and she held her hand and looked at it again, "Oh, it's still made by the owner Gong Qiluo." You can't buy this in the market, sister, how did you get it?"

"You just have to tell me, can this thing be used as a guarantee?" Yinxia's tone couldn't help but be a little stiff. She was already very dissatisfied with the Wen Mansion, and after the "Juan Doll", she was now angry at the fourth son of Wen.

What "Zhilan Qiong crumbs are not fragrant, and the plain light flows and flies by the sword". She secretly touched the long whip on her waist, it was just some fancy swordsmanship, how could it be as good as my silver lightning!

"Of course you can, with this, you don't need to go through the preliminary examination, you can be selected directly!" The round-faced girl tugged at her sleeve with envy, blushing and whispering, "Sister, can you take me to pass the preliminary examination together?" ”

"Yes. Yinxia didn't even think about it. This girl is very likable, not to mention that this matter is just a gesture for her.

"Thank you, sister!" the round-faced girl was overjoyed, "My name is Zheng Mingxiu." What about you?"

After the two exchanged names, Zheng Mingxiu couldn't wait to pull her to the courtyard gate.

Yinxia handed the incense bottle to the doorman for inspection, and the two were also invited into the hospital. In the courtyard, a maid came to lead the way and led the two to the door of the main house.

"Juan Doll" was walking out of the room, and when she saw the two of them here, she couldn't help but show surprise. But she quickly regained her arrogance and walked past them without squinting.

Hmph, the eagle soars in the sky, the tiger roars in the forest, when there is no need to surrender his identity and compete with the finches and deer. Yinxia muttered in her heart what Xiao Yin had taught, and she also twisted her head and ignored her proudly.

In the main room, the lights are bright. Behind a large desk sat a lean woman of twenty-seven or eighteen. While she was writing, she commanded the maid ring beside her in a commanding tone. But seeing that the maids were being ordered by her to run around, they were quick and not chaotic.

"The third manager, these two are the dancing girls recommended by Qiluo Xiangfang. Yahuan, who led the way, walked outside the house.

"Let them in!" the woman did not look up.

This is the manager of Wen Hui that Gongzi Ye said, right? I didn't expect to be so young. Yinxia said secretly, and Zheng Mingxiu entered the house and stood still.

Wen Hui stared at the two of them with scrutiny in her eyes for a while, and asked, "What about the token, bring it up." ”

Yinxia presented the bottle of "Strange Moon Like a Dream".

Wen Hui took the bottle and did not open it immediately, but carefully looked at the bottom of the bottle, then opened the cap and sniffed it lightly with her palm. After some verification, her eyes softened slightly, motioned for Yinxia to retrieve the bottle, and asked, "Why did you two come to the Wen family to be dancers?"

Yinxia was stunned for a moment, and was thinking about how to answer, Zheng Mingxiu spoke first: "I want to be Master Xu's disciple!"

Wen Hui was noncommittal and asked Yinxia, "Are you the same?"

Yinxia hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm here for the silver." She is still obsessed with being a thief, and it is better to say it ambiguously like this than to hold it in her heart. Success or failure, but by providence.

"Is that all?" Wen Hui was a little surprised.

"Of course, what could be more important than silver!" Yinxia nodded heavily. Anyway, she said everything she had to say, and she couldn't be a lie.

Wen Hui had another idea in her heart: the person who came to the Wen family to be a dancing girl either wanted to become a disciple of Master Xu and get ahead, or to get close to the fourth young master. Whether it is for fame or fame, they all come for fame. This girl bluntly said that it is really rare to come for silver. Her demeanor is calm and unpretentious, and her eyes are clear when she speaks, and it can be seen from Wen Hui's countless eyes that she is telling the truth. This girl has a kind of frankness and honesty that is rare for ordinary women, and she admires it.

However, to be able to become a disciple of Master Xu or the fourth young lady, money is indispensable, and this woman's goal is nothing more than this, right? Wen Hui consciously understood. As long as she doesn't have ulterior motives and wants to be unfavorable to the Wen family, she won't care, not to mention the guarantee of Qiluo Xiangfang.

Thinking of this, she registered the two of them in the register, and said with a pleasant face: "On behalf of the Wen family, I welcome the arrival of the two girls." Please keep in mind that tomorrow morning, Master Xu will personally select people in the East Campus. ”

With that, she waved her hand. The self-owned maid stepped forward and led the two to the guest room to rest.

Two people share a double room. Zheng Mingxiu took Yinxia's hand and laughed and jumped, and couldn't stop thanking him. The Wen family's first test passed so easily!

Looking at her excited joy, Yinxia couldn't help but ask, "You just want to be Master Xu's disciple like that?"

"Of course! Master Xu is a famous dancer in the capital, if he can become his disciple, he can go to the capital to see the world. And even if he can't be selected by Master Xu, as long as he can be the Wen family's dancing girl, he will have ten taels of silver in gift money!"

Ten taels of silver!

There seemed to be a line of hatred in Yinxia's eyes that was ignited suddenly: just a dancing girl's gift money is ten taels of silver, and the Wen family is really rich. Providence is hard to disobey, it seems that this time the tribute will fall on the Wen family!
