Chapter 873: Liyuan Club’s wonderful performances (Part 1)
As half-host, Sun Shaozong naturally arrived at Wangjiang Tower early.
However, for safety reasons, he did not inform Jiang Yuhan and others in advance that the prince would come to Wangjiang Tower to listen to opera in the evening. Instead, he first found Xing Zhong and asked him to vacate the best private rooms and wait for him.
When Xing Zhongchu heard this, he was extremely embarrassed.
Wangjiang Tower is so popular that the wealthy and powerful who have reserved private rooms have already booked their rooms until the first month of next year. It might be possible to temporarily free up one or two private rooms, but to vacate so many at once would definitely offend people.
And among the distinguished guests who could be ranked at the top, how many of them could Xing Zhong dare to offend?
However, Sun Shaozong's request could not be refused either. Otherwise, without his support, how would Xing Zhong be able to gain a foothold in Wangjiang Tower?
But just when he was in a dilemma, he heard Sun Shaozong said absentmindedly: "Uncle, you don't need to explain yet, just inform them that those private rooms are occupied. When the distinguished guests come, they naturally dare not say anything more."
Although Xing Zhong was still somewhat nervous, he could see that Sun Shaozong looked confident, so he had nothing more to say. He just agreed and hurried down to make the arrangements.
It would be better if we could notify them in advance. If we let those customers come to our store and then refuse them, we would create a big grudge.
However, not long after Xing Zhong left, Jiang Yuhan and Jia Lian came looking for him - Liu Xianglian was determined to take the exam, and Xue Pan also had to go to the Ministry of Public Security every now and then to attend the ceremony.
Jiang Yuhan was fine, as she was just dressed in normal clothes. However, Jia Lian was wearing heavy makeup and a green dress, and when he entered the room, he swayed his waist, looking very graceful.
Although it is quite common for a man to dress up as a woman in the opera industry, Jiang Yuhan is famous in the capital for his Qingyi role, not to mention others.
But Jia Lian's appearance in such a gorgeous attire made Sun Shaozong feel a little uncomfortable - after all, by now, he had already seen that this guy had "ill intentions".
His heart moved, and he no longer cared about hiding the news. He stood up and said anxiously, "Oh no, I forgot that Second Brother Lian is here too!"
As he spoke, he told the whole story about the prince's visit to Wangjiang Tower today.
Finally, he advised: "For my sake, the prince should not embarrass Mr. Jiang, but if he runs into my second brother, I may not be able to stop him!"
Although this was meant to be intimidating, the prince's hatred for the Jia family was no less than that for the Niu family. If he really saw Jia Lian, even if he didn't dare to go too far, verbal humiliation was inevitable.
Therefore, when Jia Lian heard that the prince was coming, he was immediately frightened and turned pale. He did not even bother to "show off what he had learned" to Sun Shaozong. He hurriedly picked up his pleated skirt, went backstage to remove his makeup, and then fled back to his home for refuge.
But when he reached the door, he was still unwilling to give up, so he turned back and invited in a delicate voice: "As expected, Erlang is still considerate of me. I will host a party at home that day and invite Erlang to come over for a drink to thank you."
As he said this, fearing that Sun Shaozong would not agree, he added, "We can discuss Ping'er's matter then."
Just looking at these few words, there is nothing special about them, but it is his sweet voice that is so coquettish that it makes people feel numb all over!
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment and was still undecided, so Jia Lian shyly covered his face with his sleeves and left.
As soon as he left, Jiang Yuhan could no longer sit still. She stood up and said that she would go backstage to make some arrangements. She must not make a fool of herself in front of the prince.
Sun Shaozong had nothing to say to him, so he naturally agreed without hesitation, and also specifically warned him not to disclose the prince's whereabouts.
After the two men left, Sun Shaozong was the only one left in the reception room in the backyard.
He was quite happy with the quietness. While drinking the specially provided tea, he wondered what the prince's intention was in coming to Wangjiang Tower this time.
There is definitely a display of the crown prince.
I am probably also interested in Jiang Yuhan's performance.
But what else?
Why did he specially bring along Prince Beijing and his wife?
You should know that he has always had a grudge against Prince Beijing Shui Rong and Princess Beijing Wei Ying. This can be seen from the fact that Prince Beijing joined them early and had a high status, but he could never squeeze into the core circle.
Then think about how the prince had repeatedly expressed his willingness to help him deal with Princess Beijing...
That shouldn’t be the case, right?
Isn't he afraid that Shui Rong will turn against him?
But the prince is of the type that can hide underground when he is timid and fly into the sky when he is wild, so it is possible that he is capable of doing such a thing.
Forget it. No matter how many people there are now, it will be of no use. Let's wait and see how the two of us deal with each other.
In any case, at least he couldn't expose the fact that he and Princess Beijing had been having an affair for a long time.
However, just as he suppressed his worries, Xing Zhong came back and said with a bitter face that he had sent all the people out, but it was hard to predict how those families would react.
Since we've handed this business over to him, there should be some tests before he can manage it. If he can't even handle this little bit, how can it last long ?
Therefore, Sun Shaozong did not comfort him, but asked seriously about the business flow of the past few days.
It has to be said that Xing Zhong couldn't really blame luck for losing his capital in business - he only knew that Wangjiang Tower was doing a booming business, but he couldn't even guess how much profit it was making.
Fortunately, he is not without strengths. At least he is quite good at eating, drinking, and entertaining guests.
Sun Shaozong asked him to be in charge of the private room just to give him a place to settle down and to show his presence in Wangjiang Tower. He didn't expect him to control Jiang Yuhan's purse.
So she chatted with him for a while, and seeing that he had barely adapted to his new identity, she did not demand anything from him. Instead, she solemnly informed him that the family had already begun preparations for the marriage, and Jia Yingchun would ask a matchmaker to come to the house soon.
If the Xing family has any requests at that time, just let them know.
If Xing Zhong had received this promise a few days ago, he would have been overjoyed.
However, his daughter had said nothing before, and now he was like a fish in water in Wangjiang Tower, so he didn't dare to think about it or expect anything more.
So he shook his head like a rattle, saying that he had everything he needed and only hoped that Sun Shaozong would treat his daughter well and sincerely.
Sun Shaozong naturally agreed.
As a result, the father-in-law and the son-in-law chatted more and more freely. However, as they were talking, someone suddenly reported loudly outside that Prince Beijing Shui Rong had arrived and was sending someone to inquire about Sun Shaozong's whereabouts.
Shui Rong's arrival so early was beyond Sun Shaozong's expectations.
So he quickly gave Xing Zhong a few instructions, and then hurried to the courtyard to meet him.
…
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Princess Beijing Wei Ying was in the piano room when she suddenly heard the word "Tian Kui". She felt like she was struck by lightning!
She has always been in good health, and her period comes very regularly, almost at the end of every month, with a difference of two or three days at most.
But now it is already the sixth day of the New Year!
Is it possible that I am really pregnant? !
This cruel speculation made Wei Ying still dazed until half an hour later, when she was carried out of the palace in a sedan chair carried by eight people.
Logically speaking, she and Shui Rong had reconciled since that day, and they had sex quite often during that time. Judging from the frequency alone, even if she was pregnant, the chances of the latter should be higher.
However……
Regardless of the quality, the fact that the two had been married for six years but still had no children made Wei Ying dare not hope that this would be Shui Rong's child.
Then what should I do?
Trying to get an abortion secretly?
When a couple are like strangers, there may still a way to do it without leaving any trace.
But now...
Once things go wrong, Shui Rong will definitely notice something is wrong, and then there will be no recovery!
But if I continue to make the mistake and give birth to this child, then...how can I be worthy of Shui Rong, and even the ancestors of the Shui family? !
She was filled with regret and shame, and just wished she could die and be done with it, when she suddenly heard someone outside the sedan whisper, "My queen, should we go upstairs first, or wait for the prince to come with us?"
Go upstairs?
Which floor?
Wei Ying was stunned for a long while before she finally realized that the maid was talking about Wangjiang Tower, so she subconsciously opened the curtain of the sedan chair a little. Unexpectedly, a majestic figure immediately caught her eye. Who else could it be but Sun Shaozong? !
