Chapter 140
After the second song, it was her turn. Excluding the intermission, about half an hour later, Qinglian became nervous for no reason. I forgot the words and tunes in the hall.

Qinglian was secretly practicing in the main room, when the door was pushed open suddenly, Qinglian stood up abruptly, is it her turn so soon?
The person who came was Juan'er, an uninvited guest, and Qinglian was immediately timid: "Sister Juan'er, why are you here?"

After all, what happened the day before yesterday seemed to have happened just now. Mrs. Lan Ning expelled her from the small courtyard in a rage, and threatened that she would not be allowed to set foot in the courtyard from now on. For this reason, Qinglian cried secretly all day, thinking of this matter, At this moment, there is still a dull pain in my heart.

Juan'er looked at Qinglian, and said "hum", "It's an ungrateful thing."

Qinglian said with guilt in her heart: "Sister Juan'er, I'm sorry that day, Miss Lanning doesn't want to listen to my explanation, and she doesn't want to believe me, I really..."

"Who will believe you!" Juan'er said, putting things on the table.

It was only then that Qinglian realized that Juan'er was here to deliver something. On the table was a set of brand new clothes made of high-quality silk and satin, with luxurious jewels and hairpins on top of the clothes.

"This...Miss Lanning..." Qinglian suddenly felt in a mess. She had betrayed Mistress Lanning's trust and done something wrong to Mistress Lanning, Mistress Lanning still treated her so well.

But Juan'er said: "Don't get me wrong, the lady said that one size is one size, and I will not break my promise to you." After speaking, she left coldly.

Qinglian stared at the things on the table in a daze, after a while she changed into new clothes, put on a luxurious bead hairpin, looked at herself in the mirror, she was a bit charming, never thought that she could be so beautiful.

Time was tormenting, and finally it was Qinglian's turn to appear in the hall. Qinglian seemed calm on the surface, but no one knew how nervous she was inside.

Some famous actresses had already taken their seats in the dark, and did not return to their rooms immediately to rest. There were newcomers in the courtyard, and they always liked to watch the excitement, and sometimes they would gamble as a private pastime.

Strictly speaking, Qinglian was not on stage for the first time, she sang on stage last time, and the singing was a mess, which made the guests booed and made fun of her.

Mother Miao planned to let Qinglian become a maid, but Qinglian would rather die than do it. For this reason, Mother Miao beat and scolded Qinglian, and locked Qinglian up. Everyone knows.

With such a topical person, how could these famous brothel actresses who love to have fun not gamble.

"Guess, can Qinglian finish singing this time?"

"I think the song should be able to be sung to the end, and I'm not a layman, but how well I sang it? Will it make people laugh like last time, giggling..."

"What kind of gambling?"

"Hehe...then bet that after she finishes singing today, mother won't let her go to the hall again. I bet that after she finishes singing today, she can only accept her fate and become a maid. Which one of you wants to change maids?"

"Xiuqin, you bet like this, who will bet with you, no, no, you can't bet like this."

"Don't tell me, I met Qinglian a few days ago, and she seemed to be full of confidence. Maybe today will impress you all."

"Zhuqiu, why are you here to bluff people? It's been less than a month. How far can her skills go? In a place like a brothel, it's not just because she has a good face that she can get mixed up. Besides, what about Qinglian? Nizi's looks are not stunning."

"You guys better talk about how to gamble, she will be on stage soon."

"Uh... Then take a bet that she will sing a few mistakes in a while."

"It's still fair to Zhuzhu. This kind of bet is very good. Let me say first, I bet that she sings wrong everywhere."

"Five places."

"Two places."

"Three places."

……

It seems that these famous actresses still underestimate Qinglian.

"I'm coming."

"Huh...Qinglian is very different today, her clothes are all new, it seems that she came prepared."

"Even the beaded hairpin she wears is dazzling... Isn't that the beaded hairpin that Miss Lanning usually wears? How could it be worn on Qinglian's head!"

"No wonder I saw her full of confidence a few days ago. It turns out that there is Lady Lanning behind her back. I think you are in danger!"

"Hmph, so what if Mrs. Lanning supports you? In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. Even if you can't sing well, it's useless for anyone to support you!"

"Stop talking, she's going up."

Qinglian stood timidly in the middle of the performance stage, secretly telling herself not to be nervous, just practice as usual.

Mother Miao stood beside Qinglian, and said loudly: "Today is the first time Qinglian, a young actress from our academy, has sung in the hall. If there is anything wrong with her singing, please don't be too harsh, gentlemen and masters here. Forgive me."

Someone in the audience recognized Qinglian, and shouted loudly: "She didn't sing once last time, and she sang in a mess. Mama Miao, is there no one in Yingyuan this time, and you just use some small roles to make up for it, right? Treat us like vulgar people who don't know how to appreciate it."

Mother Miao said with a smile: "Young Master Song is joking, whoever came here from Xiao Ling asked Young Master Song to give this little lady Qinglian a chance."

The Song Gongzi said: "If you can't sing well again, what should we do? It hurts our hearts. It's a small thing, but it's a big sign to go back to Yingyuan. But since Mama Miao said so, I will definitely give it a chance, but I have a request."

Qinglian's heart tightened when she heard this, and she became even more nervous, her hands and palms were already covered with sweat.

Mother Miao smiled apologetically, "Then Mr. Song, what do you say?"

Mr. Song said indifferently: "If this little actress can't sing well, how about asking Mrs. Lanning to sing a song to make up for it?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience booed immediately, "Okay! That's the deal!"

Miao's mother immediately looked puzzled, what is Lan Ning's identity, she is the lady of Suzhou Huakui, and the sum of her famous actresses in Hui Ying Yuan can't match Lan Ning alone.

How can such an identity come out and sing a song casually? Even if he is willing, Lan Ning may not be willing, but politely refuses: "Mr.

"Mother Miao, it's meaningless for you to say that. We didn't come here to praise Mrs. Lanning. Just tell me, besides Mrs. Lanning, who else can make a move in Yingyuan this time?"

Mother Miao said with a smile: "Mr. Song said that, Xiuqin, Zhuqiu, and Zhuzhu are all good."

The few that Mama Miao mentioned were all red ladies who returned to Yingyuan. Of course, they were far behind Lan Ning by a thousand miles. People tend to focus on the most dazzling person.

"If Mother Miao said so, if you can't sing this song today, don't blame us for not coming to join us in the future."

"Masters, please don't."

"The words have been left here, Ms. Miao, can you figure it out?"

Miao's mother had no choice but to flatter her and said: "Okay, okay, if Qinglian can't sing well, I'll go and talk to Miss Lanning later, all young masters, please listen to the song first." But there is room for maneuver.

 It is more difficult to keep writing than to let go of writing. In the Suzhou chapter, July did indeed close the writing, and it should be more delicate, because there must be a sense of belonging. No matter what mission we undertake in the future, there will eventually be a place of home waiting for us.
