After rebirth, Bai Yueguang's abandoned wife is soft and unstoppable

Chapter 10 Begonia Chunsheng
So, she gritted her teeth and endured, carrying Zhixuan on her back, and walked forward step by step with difficulty, aimlessly.

Before I knew it, I came to a busy street.

The pavilions there are carved with carved beams and painted buildings, which are extremely gorgeous.

The upstairs and downstairs are full of colorful lights, which are brilliant and dazzling.

Some people are telling stories of ups and downs, some are singing loudly, some are stroking silk and bamboo, and some are dancing.

Pedestrians either come by chariot or horse, or come by boat, or come on foot leisurely.

They are all overwhelmed by the scenery and characters here.

"Sister, are you singing?"

She was really tired, so she put Zhixuan down.

"I thought it was you singing!" Zhixuan opened his eyes wearily, a little disappointed, took her hand and wobbled back to sleep.

Her back was sore and her arms were trembling with fatigue. She didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of her, she just wanted to find a place to rest.

At this time, a nearby pavilion with an unopened door came into her sight.

The eaves there are spacious and clean, and there are two people sitting and resting there.

She couldn't bear it any longer, so she led Zhixuan to sit down.

No, after a while, the owner came to open the door for business.

Fortunately, the master did not drive them away, but instead invited them to sit in.

Penniless, she dared not go in.

The host enthusiastically said: "Ma'am, don't panic, we have a rule in the Begonia House that we entertain the first guest of the day for free."

In this way, Qianru naturally wished for it.

She thanked the master, and led Zhixuan into the room slowly.

The owner of this house is a glamorous woman in her thirties who still has a charm.

The smile is very charming, just like the name of her pavilion, Begonia House, like a blooming Begonia flower.

A few guys set up ladders to light up the giant chandelier hanging on the dome, and the whole building was lit up in an instant.

The inside is more spacious and luxurious than the outside, but there is a strong smell of oil paint, as if it has just been decorated.

At the foot of the inner wall is a large table with a width of more than ten feet, and the upstairs and downstairs are full of exquisite tables and stools.

"Sister, it's so beautiful here."

Zhixuan rubbed his sleepy eyes, staring intently at the giant chandelier on the dome.

"Excuse me, what is this place?"

"Our Begonia Hall is the most watched song and dance hall in Beijing. Of course, we also entertain guests with food and drink."

"Wow! Haitang Pavilion, sister, aren't you Mrs. Haitang?"

The host was amused by Zhixuan, "My name is Sima Jiuniang, you can call me Jiuniang. I followed my husband to Beijing to do business when I was 19 years old, and I have been running this Begonia restaurant for 18 years now."

As she said that, Sima Jiuniang called for someone to bring a copy of the recipe, music and dance, and asked them to order.

As a free eater, Qianru didn't dare to order songs and dances, so she only ordered two side dishes and two bowls of clear porridge.

Seeing that they were shy, Jiu Niang ordered them the finale dance song "Begonia Spring Festival Gala" for them.

The musicians were in place, the orchestra sounded, and 24 dancers in costumes entered slowly in order.

Only then did Qianru realize that the high platform with a width of more than ten feet was used for performances.

The song was very good, but the leading dancers danced very perfunctorily, and their faces were full of reluctance, and their eyes were full of disdain for Qianru sister and brother.

Sima Jiuniang got annoyed, stopped singing and dancing, went forward and singled out those dancers who were not doing their best, reprimanded them, and ordered them to pour tea for Qianru sister and brother to apologize.

Those few turned their faces immediately, resigned from Jiuniang and asked for wages.

"It's easy to leave, but I want to come back after I leave"

"It will be difficult to come back. You have said it thousands of times. Nowadays, there are so many song and dance halls in the capital. If you still stick to the rules, the Begonia Hall will close down sooner or later!"

One woman took her wages and walked away, while the others followed her silently.

After a while, a beautiful woman like a yellow warbler came slowly from the side door and told Jiuniang that Caiyunfang had been offering high prices to lure those dancers away, and this time the price should be negotiated.

"I don't believe in a capital city full of beauties, and I can't find a few dancers who are both virtuous and talented."

Seeing Sima Jiuniang staring at her with a legal face, Qianru was a little apprehensive, and hurriedly took Zhixuan away.

Unexpectedly, Sima Jiuniang ordered someone to close the gate.

"What do you want to do, this is at the feet of the emperor."

It turned out that from the first time he saw Qianru, Sima Jiuniang fell in love with her beauty.

Her facial features are bright, her skin is as white as snow, her fingers are slender, and her figure is graceful, especially her pair of rippling eyes, which makes one can't help but feel pity.

This is the ideal beauty in Sima Jiuniang's mind.

Therefore, under the guise of the rules, she entertained them with extra enthusiasm.

"Sister, don't panic, Jiu Niang, I have no malicious intentions. You two are down on the street, and you came to my Haitang Pavilion to rest. than you."

After hearing Sima Jiuniang's difficult and inspirational life experience, Qianru admired her very much.

But Sima Jiuniang's attempt to keep herself as a dancer was absolutely unacceptable to her.

It's just that Zhixuan, who doesn't know how good he is, likes it very much, and he is reluctant to leave.

She hesitated.

Behind her was the bitter cold wind blowing in through the crack of the door, and in front of her was Xiao Zhixuan, who had a lingering fever, but she was penniless and didn't even have a place to stay.

The reality is pressing, she struggles with tears.

"Sister, don't be wronged. You come to my place to eat based on your ability. No one can bully you. One day you will be unhappy and fire me as the shopkeeper, just leave."

"But I can't dance."

"If you don't know how to dance, you can learn. I'll take care of your siblings' basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. I'll live in the backyard of the Begonia Hall. You can choose any room you want."

Other people in the restaurant also came to speak for Sima Jiuniang, praising her as the most kind-hearted owner in the capital.

Sima Jiuniang touched Zhixuan's little face and found that he was still ill, so she immediately sent someone to call for a doctor.

This act of kindness completely made Qianru compromise.

The Begonia Pavilion is very large. In addition to the pavilion in front of you, there is a yard behind, and there is a yard behind the yard.

She and Zhixuan were arranged to live in the back yard.

And this is also Jiuniang's special care. Only Jiuniang and his son Sima Yun live here, relatively quiet.

It was late at night, and Sima Yun was still studying in the room, looking very hardworking.

Sima Yun is 19 years old, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, extraordinary appearance, polite, steady demeanor, and does not squint.

Like a humble gentleman.

At Jiuniang's order, he came out to say hello to them, Sima Yun turned around and went back to the room.

Unexpectedly, a shopkeeper of a song and dance studio could raise such a son who is not stained by silt, Qianru finds it inconceivable.

Looking at the mother from the son, Jiu Niang is much more reliable in her eyes.

However, Jiuniang didn't run a philanthropic hall. She took in their siblings to see that she was worth cultivating.

If Qianru's performance cannot satisfy her after two months, she will drive them away.

In order to support her younger brother, Qianru practiced dancing desperately.

Fortunately, the limbs of the current body are still soft. Although they are already, there is still room for improvement.

She practiced hard every day with the instructor that Jiuniang invited from the workshop, and she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Half a month later, several flower-like young women came one after another to practice hard with her.

Two months later, Jiu Niang arranged for her to dance as a dancer for Zhao Xianer, the singer with the clearest and sweetest voice in the hall, and started her first performance as a dancer.

The dance clothes were ostentatious and revealing, and she felt uncomfortable.

But in order to support her younger brother, in order to survive, she must be competent.

So, when she was about to go on stage, she found a piece of tulle to cover her face.

Although the guests applauded, she was ridiculed by the sisters and reprimanded by Jiu Niang.

"Why do you want to change it on the spot?"

She was silent for a while, and thought of an excellent reason.

"Sister Zhao is the main character in this song and dance. I'm just a foil. I cover my face just to make Sister Zhao look more eye-catching."

Unexpectedly, Jiuniang became even more popular, "She is a famous singer in the capital, she has even entered the palace several times, why do you need to work hard to set it off? No brains!"

Zhao Xian'er, who was touching up her makeup, admired her knowledge of current affairs, and called the roll call on the spot. From now on, her songs will be danced by Qianru.

Jiuniang hated that iron could not be made into steel, so she suppressed the fire and called her to a secluded place to speak alone.

"Have you forgotten what life was like two months ago? Have you forgotten the tears you shed before putting on your dance clothes? If you want your tears to be worth shed, you have to show your vigor.

I'd rather watch you earn enough money to leave as soon as possible, and don't want to watch you lower your eyebrows and be aggrieved as a matchmaker for someone else. "

Jiuniang's words were like enlightenment, and Qianru was immediately alerted.

Dancing girl is a profession that is pleasing to the eye. If you can't make a blockbuster at the beginning, it will be difficult to succeed later.

So, she took the initiative to beg Jiuniang to let her participate in the finale song and dance "Begonia Spring Festival Gala".

Seeing that she wanted to make progress, Jiuniang calmed down a little. She wanted to praise her as the oiran, but she was afraid that her lack of experience would spoil the scene.

Besides, there are dozens of dancers in the Begonia House, and she danced the "Begonia Spring Festival Gala" not long after she arrived, and the others inevitably dissatisfied.

There is no rule without rules, and this matter has to be slowed down.

"Jiu Niang, just let me go! I'm on stage for the first time today, and the guests may see it fresh, and there may be unexpected results."

"But you are also an unpopular new face, what if it gets smashed?"

Qianru pondered for a moment, and told Jiuniang what she had heard and seen during the past few days.

In her opinion, the dances and music of the Begonia Hall are top-notch, and the lack of brilliance is mainly due to the lack of effective innovation.

"It's easy to say. Over the years, I have found many people to write lyrics, music and choreography, but the results are not satisfactory."

"That's because Jiuniang, you have never innovated the "Begonia Spring Festival Gala". Now it is a peaceful and prosperous age, no more than when the world was first established more than ten years ago, the sadness in the hearts of the audience has long since disappeared. And no matter how good it is The guests have been watching dance music for more than ten years, and they are also tired of it.”

"But this is the signboard of the Begonia Pavilion, so it cannot be changed at will."

"There is no need to make a big change, just change a little bit. 'The Begonia Spring Festival Gala, the flowers are invincible. After vicissitudes, the love will last forever.' Just add such a little meaning, what does Jiu Niang think?"

"But the crabapple flower is a heartbroken flower. It is a metaphor that there are other people in the heart of a lover. The relationship ends without a problem. How can it last forever?"

Jiu Niang pondered for a moment, and felt that this proposal was wonderful. The most touching thing in the world is true love, and the most unbearable thing is unrequited love in lovesickness.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to change the lyrics and choreography."

"Wait." Qianru invited Jiuniang to the room and showed her the words she had drafted.

Jiu Niang was startled, she never thought that she had such talent, and marveled that she had just picked up a treasure.

The next day, she directly invited the instructor from the teaching workshop to arrange and dance with Qianru's lyrics.

So a new song and dance "Begonia Spring Festival Gala Undefeated Blossoms" was born.

The whole dance was choreographed around Qianru, and Jiuniang danced with her face masked.

Because the face of the woman with her face covered and weeping is extraordinarily poignant and charming under the flickering candlelight.

The finale of this dance song is especially suitable for attracting repeat customers.

Sure enough, the first performance was loved by the guests and earned a lot of emotion and tears.

Even Sima Jiuniang herself was in tears.

After closing, she took Qianru to the garden, recalling two unsatisfactory marriages.

At the age of 16, she married her childhood sweetheart's cousin. She was still pregnant, and the husband married another.She ran away in anger and escaped the military disaster by chance, but she also became a widow.

During the escape, the child disappeared.

Later, he married the shopkeeper of the song and dance studio who lost his wife, and came to the capital to do business together.

Yingying and Yanyan are always around her husband, and she swallows her anger and works hard for her son.

Unexpectedly, the business failed, and her husband jumped into the river by himself, leaving her and the child to face the creditor alone.

It was not until the year before last that the debt was paid off.

"My dear sister, the words you changed almost touched my heart. Could it be that you also have a similar experience?"

"My story is not as vigorous as sister Jiuniang, I'm just an abandoned woman who can write bitter words."

Sima Jiuniang held her hand and said, "Why belittle yourself? The crabapple flowers in the south are in full bloom this season! From now on, you will be the oiran of my crabapple house, and your future will be more splendid than all the crabapple flowers in the world!"

Looking at the budding crabapple flowers in the yard, she slowly let go of her sad face.

Begonias are in full bloom, what can be expected in the future?
It's a pity that Jiuniang can't tolerate her dancing with her face covered all the time, and conflicts are on the verge of breaking out.
