Chapter 1641 – Sleeve Dance Workshop
Half an hour later.
A figure wearing a bucket hat slowly stopped at a corner of a bustling street, chirping female voices like orioles coming out from the building in front of them, and from time to time there were silk and bamboo strings that were pleasing to the ears.
”Are you guys sure that this is okay?” Under the bucket hat, the red-haired girl asked cautiously.
”It’s fine, Holy Maiden-sama.” A missionary spoke earnestly, “If you go in with us, as long as you don’t take off the bucket hat, no one will notice.”
The red-haired maiden nodded heavily, “Good.”
Under the negotiation of a few missionaries, they smoothly entered the interior of the Sleeve Dance Workshop, the exotic appearance of these missionaries caused the guests and dancers in the workshop to look sideways, and were very curious about the mysterious figure behind them with a bucket hat, but no one suspected that it was a woman.
As the lead missionary pulled out a heavy ingot of silver, a fawning smile instantly appeared on the face of a short man from the dance workshop, leading several people up to the second floor.
”Several guests, this is the best elegant room in our Dance Workshop, not only is the place spacious, there are people to wait on you, the location is also the best, do you still find it satisfactory?”
The red-haired girl walked into the elegant room, where she was able to clearly see the women dancing with the wonderful sound below, as well as the guests sitting in front of the stage, most of these were literati who didn’t have a lot of money, but wanted to come and experience an elegant wind and moon, which was quite like looking down on the living beings.
Seeing the red-haired girl nodding her head, the missionary pulled out another ingot of silver and shoved it into the short man’s hand, saying in standard Chinese:
”This is it, bring us some food up …… Also, we don t need people to wait, don t let people come in to disturb us.”
The short man stared blankly, “Don’t you even need a dancer to accompany you?”
”No need.”
”This …… is good.”
The short man seems to be ready to say something, see the missionary’s stern eyes, or put the words swallowed back, while compensating for the smile while exiting the elegant room.
Not long ago, a few plates of fruit snacks will be sent up, according to the missionary said, there is no any dancer to come in to accompany the wine, and the soft music echoed in the workshop, only this elegant room, a few missionaries sit down, as if the saints in general.
The red-haired girl sat down in the main seat, her eyes through the curtain of the bucket hat, swept over the women with fruit plates, enchanting posture and charming look, they went in and out of the other elegant rooms on the second floor from time to time, and a man’s greasy and light laughter came out from it.
”People without faith and bottom line are no different from beasts dominated by desire.” A missionary spoke in a deep voice.
”There is no need to be so rigid, having faith does not mean that you have to wear shackles, and having no faith does not mean that you are foolish and barbaric …… Look at the world from a human perspective, and experience the sufferings and joys of the world in order to know what they need.”
The red-haired girl didn’t seem to resist any of this, her eyes swept curiously over everyone’s body through the curtain, picking up a piece of refreshment and putting it in her mouth every now and then.
”What the Holy Maiden-sama said.” A few missionaries came to a realization, “Quickly, call for a few dancers for His Excellency!”
”…… I don’t mean that!”
The red-haired maiden hurriedly stopped them, these people were all believers who had been convinced by her innate gift of faith and the teachings she spread after she came to this continent, and took the initiative to follow her in spreading the name of the Holy Lord, as well as missionaries, although they had been with her for a long time, they were still unable to fully understand the teachings, and their thinking was also confined by their personal experiences, and were not quite able to keep up with her thoughts.
The red-haired girl was used to this, after all, it was not an easy thing to pass on the way of thinking and cognition through the teachings.
A few people are still like this, wanting to do the creation of an entire huge religion and spreading the complete teachings is even more difficult …… At least she knows very well that her current self, still owes some fire.
Several of them watched the dance music in the workshop for a long time, and waited until the red-haired girl had eaten almost all of the snacks on the table before slowly standing up, ready to leave.
Just at this moment, three figures walked in from the front door of the dance workshop, the leader was a scholar wearing a Confucian uniform, he lightly led the other two to the second floor, and was about to walk into this elegant room they were in, but was stopped by the person outside the door.
”What? There’s already someone?”
”……”
”Alas …… Brother Seven Nights, it seems really unfortunate, this room has the best viewpoint, since it’s occupied, can we go to the other one?”
After a burst of conversation, the three of them settled down in another next door elegant room, which also had a panoramic view of the below.
Not long after, a group of warbling dancers were seen pushing open the door of that elegant room, a rough estimation was that there were eight or nine of them, squeezing in together, this exaggerated treatment directly made the other elegant rooms with the guests on the first floor stare enviously.
”Compared to the other city-states of the Great Han, these people in Chang’an City are really good at enjoying themselves.” A missionary hummed disdainfully.
The red-haired girl didn’t stand up and put her bucket hat back on, walking towards the door while speaking calmly:
”Let the people next door move over, it just so happens …… that we should also leave.”
”Brother Seven Nights, is this place interesting enough?” Yan Zhong was sitting at the table, and the two dainty dancers were kneeling behind him, they were joking and laughing while pinching his shoulders and pounding his back, they looked like they were already very familiar with each other.
Lin Qiye sat on the other side with an odd expression, seeing that the several dancers were about to lie in his arms in a smooth manner, he directly reached out to stop the other party:
”Brother Yan Zhong …… you enjoy yourself, I don’t need to.”
These dancers did have a few looks, but Lin Qiye did not have any interest in this aspect, there was one thing to be said about the level of these dancers accompanying the wine, they were still stuck in the primitive beauty seduction stage and lacked some spiritual soothing and connotations.
He also didn’t expect that the interesting place in Yan Zhong’s mouth was a green house …… If he had known, he might as well have gone to a teahouse or dim sum store for a spin, in Lin Qiye’s eyes, the business standard of this place was still to be improved.
”What? Does Brother Seven Nights think they’re not good enough?” Yan Zhong slammed the table and said to the short man behind him, “Go, invite Miss Qing’er over, this is the Marquis’ guest of honor, you absolutely must entertain ……”
Hearing this, the man was instantly jolted, turned around and headed for the door, and was again pulled back by Lin Qiye.
”There’s really no need.” Lin Qiye spoke helplessly, “Brother Yan Zhong, you can just enjoy yourself, there’s no need to bring me along.”
Yan Zhong frowned and thought about it, as if he realized something, “Could it be that Brother Seven Nights already has a family?”
”This ……” Lin Qiye paused for a while, he couldn’t explain clearly, he could only comply, “That’s right, I already have a family, and my tough wife is very powerful, if she knows that I’m fooling around, she can’t go back and explain. ”
Hearing this, Yan Zhong gave Lin Qiye a pitying look, and no longer forced himself, directly letting the other dancers go out, as for Wuquan …… his age was too young, and naturally did not arrange for dancers to serve him.
Lin Qiye was slightly relieved, he lifted the tea on the table and took a sip, and an inexplicable burning sensation suddenly came from his chest.
