C136 (1/2)

Jin Xiaolou and Lv Yun stood in front of the Golden Ape Lane, the surface of the river half frozen in cold light.

The two of them had even colder expressions than the surface of the river.

”That account really isn't a good thing!” Lv Yun spat, then turned and rushed at Jin Xiaolou: ”Innkeeper, let's go, leave this place and find an inn to stay, wait for Chang An!”

”Chang An will definitely settle us down properly. At that time, it won't be too late for us to slowly think of a plan.” Lv Yun frowned, she only wanted to pull Jin Xiaolou away quickly.

The name of Golden Apparel Lane was pleasant to listen to, but it was a gathering place for the rafters and shacks. Putting aside those who were performing juggling around, there were even more brothels along the alley.

Dirty land.

”He's right. It's the only place that doesn't need a guarantor.” Jin Xiaolou did not move.

She paused for a moment before continuing, ”From beginning to end, Chang An wanted to leave the capital for the Wuli River. He wanted to accompany Gao Lang. That Rainbow Garden is entirely up to Nan Yang, even if she were to let us have it for a while, once he leaves, we will not have anything good to eat. ”

”Then what should we do?” Lv Yun was worried, ”No matter what, I can't find a job in this place!”

Jin Xiaolou looked at the beautiful girls walking in and out of the Golden Aperture Lane, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

”Why can't I?” Jin Xiaolou smiled brightly at Lv Yun, ”I think this place is pretty good!”

With that, he walked into the alley.

The people in the alley were all curious about the two young women, Jin Xiaolou and Lv Yun, who were carrying children.

Lv Yun had always been thin-skinned, and before even walking two laps, her entire person was completely red.

Not long later, he saw a stage set up not too far away from him. The performance hadn't even started when tables and chairs were set up scattered around the stage.

If he wanted to go to the front and sit down, he would need to buy a ticket, along with a stack of snacks and a pot of tea. In the small open space behind them, anyone could look around. After a performance, there would be Attendant asking for money with a copper jar.

As for whether they were willing to give it or not, it all depended on the customer's own free will.

Jin Xiaolou handed the Lin'er over to Lv Yun, then walked over to talk with the Attendant who was putting up the chair, and quickly got a general idea of the situation.

This company was known as the Ding Dan Society. It was one team after another in the capital. Not only did it have ordinary singing and dancing performances, it also had archery, acrobatics, beast taming, and other performances.

The Cauldron Pill Club performed once every three days.

Every time the show started, all the seats were reserved, and the people standing outside were even more crowded.

”Then is this the only theater in Golden Appendage Lane?” Jin Xiaolou asked the Attendant.

Attendant shook his head repeatedly, ”A few years ago, when the Pill Cauldron Restaurant first arrived at the capital, the teams here were still blooming all over the place, there were at least twenty or so of them. Now, all that are left are the Pill Cauldron, Liusu Pavilion and Linlang Workshop. ”As for the rest, they are all brothels.”

”However, I don't think that Linlang Workshop will last long.” The Attendant's chatterbox could not be stopped, ”A few days ago, the number one person in Linlang Workshop, Miss Yu Su, was picked over by the Liusu Pavilion. The number of ladies in Linlang Workshop were few in number, and now that there are less pillars, I'm afraid that it will close down in a few days.”

As for the Cauldron Pill House, Liusu and Linlang Workshop were different.

Ding Dan Club's performance was more extensive. They built a tent outside, called the Peony Pavilion, which was all in the shed, and the shop in the back became the backstage for the performance and the people who served it. Tassel and Linlang, on the other hand, had more songs and dances, and there was no other shed, which was all in the pavilion.

Jin Xiaolou asked everything clearly, and as she had a plan in mind, she pondered for a moment, then led Lv Yun to head towards the Linlang Workshop s behind them.

The Linlang Workshop located at the end of Golden Appendices Lane was not the best location, but it was a place that was only connected to the river. The front door of the shop was in the alley, and outside the back door was a pleasure boat.

At this moment, with the Linlang Workshop still tightly shut, Jin Xiaolou took two steps forward and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by an elderly man wearing a gray robe and a white beard.

Jin Xiaolou bowed to the man, then opened his mouth to look at the owner of the Linlang Workshop.

The old man waved his hand and pointed to the notice by the door, only then did Jin Xiaolou see it, the sign said that Linlang Workshop were to be closed for the time being, and the boss, Xia Gu, had gone back to the village to raise chickens.

Looking at the notice, Jin Xiaolou's head jumped. She did not know why, but she was somehow filled with anticipation for this Xia Gu.

He hurriedly asked the old man where the countryside was.

The grandpa was deaf and dizzy. After a long while, he finally figured it out and pointed outwards, ”Suburbs of the capital! In Spirit Water Village, Xia Gu's home is there. ”

Seeing that it was still early, Jin Xiaolou wanted to leave the city without a word to go to the Spirit Water Village.

Lv Yun originally wanted to go with him, but Jin Xiaolou reckoned that after sending the Wuli Herba into the palace, she would definitely return to the Rainbow Garden. In order to reassure Chang An, Jin Xiaolou told Lv Yun to go back.
