7 Secret Families (1/2)

As usual Bai Shin Lin woke up late again. She pulled an all nighter just to finish the draft of her first song. She hasn't given up this goal and her first thought while composing it was Lou Ren. She decided that he would be her first member.

First thing in the morning she already strode outside the palace andMaomao said that today is his day off. '

Lou Ren's Mansion was situated outside the palace.

A horse-drawn carriage waited outside while she's preparing to depart. Accompanied by few servant's and guards she went to see him.

A huge mansion with an elegant carvings and expensive ornamental decorations was what she saw and they were greeted by a large number of maids waiting for her. They guided her inside a spacious room which seems to be a living room. A lone table and a seated pillow was lying on the center and from the view there, a beautiful and well maintained inner garden would be spotted.

Lou Ren was already there, when he saw her, he gesturedto sit in a pillow in front of him then started to grind tea.

She was intently observing his graceful movements that she's so absorb for a few minutes.

When he spoke, only did she stop looking at him.

”It was clearly stated in the letter what my lady wanted. But before I make my decision, I need to thoroughly review your proposition”

”of course! Tell me what you wanted I'll answer it with my full capacity.” She answered in a lively tone.

He look at her intently.

” first and foremost, what is a boygroup? It seems that the idealogy of the word is still not invented in this time. Are they some sort of secret organization that is unknown to the palace?”

”no! no! no!” she said while shakinghead. She explained to him the whole scenario without any details that would endanger her identity.

”So, it's like some kind of performers who's singing and dancing? Surely there are lot's of them around the capital. If you want any of them I could book their performance exclusive to you My lady”

(But performing groups in this Era are so old fashion! and the cast are all grown up men) she want's to tell him that. But she can't.

”Mighty Lou Ren,...” she's desperate to recruit him. ”why don't you just sign my contract and became my first member? surely you will not regret this thing. ” Pretty please. She put up her most sincere look to him. ”I am sorry, my lady but what I clearly see, you want me to become this performer.I am suited inside the court. Not some LOWLY performers outside the city”

He really emphasized the world lowly in his statement.

” I see..” she dejectedly put her hands down.
