Every day, different shops opened in the most prosperous streets, making the bustling streets even more prosperous. Ye Lan led Libao to the front of a red mansion leisurely. Ye Lan designed it and equipped the mansion with many modern gadgets.
Ye Lan stood leisurely in front of the mansion that had not yet opened, turning back and forth for three rounds. Xiao Hei was indeed reliable. The three-story stage she wanted was like a spiraling highway, covered with brilliant red carpets, which was full of visual impact!
Libao also looked up, following the way of Ye Lan. The chamber was two stories higher than the other two, and was changed directly into a five-story large chamber. How luxurious it was! Luxury was the most intoxicating thing! This brothel was originally the place where people felt intoxicated, which was the best magic weapon to attract men to live in a dissipated life.
"Lanbao, is this what you did?" Libao looked up and down and then asked.
"How do you like it? Xiao Hei is efficient and he has done a good job!" Ye Lan nodded with satisfaction, for the eye-catching colors she had wanted were painted perfectly!
Libao raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Lan who was pleased. He widened the mouth, raised the eyebrows and crossed his hands in front of his chest, with the fan hitting on the shoulder.
Ye Lan knew immediately that Libao was jealous. She grinned, raised her hands and patted Libao's head, "Let's go, have a look and find a good place for the opening ceremony!"
"The opening ceremony? What?" Xiao Hei never heard about anything like that, but he followed Ye Lan to enter the Fallen Angels.
Ye Lan was stopped as soon as she entered the door, "Miss, the mansion hasn't been opened yet. Besides, this is not a place where a girl can enter casually. Do you want something to eat? Some breakfast? If so, turn right and you’ll find a restaurant that serves delicious food!"
"Great! Great!" Libao could not hide his teasing smile, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Miss." The words were full of ridicule. Ye Lan rolled her eyes, looked at Libao and then took out a black-iron token from her sleeve which Xiao Hei gave to her. The boss took the token, immediately knelt and handed it back with both hands, "Cheng Yin, your old underling, at your service!"
Ye Lan nodded and gave Cheng Yin a gesture, "Get up!" Ye Lan was very satisfied with Cheng Yin's reaction. He led such a shrewd life at the age of only 40 or 50 years old, which seemed that Xiao Hei really made some efforts to find talents for her!
Sometimes a word could reveal a lot of things. Ye Lan came early. When she opened the door, the yard of Fallen Angels had already been cleaned up with no dirt, and maidservants around also tidied up the place clean and delicate.
The clothes of the old man was not delicate but clean. He didn’t curry favor with Ye Lan, nor did he belittle himself. He behaved properly, which was very good!
Just now, the old man explained politely without knowing her identity. To protect her reputation, he was also willing to help her to explain that she found the wrong place for breakfast. After that, he did not suck up to her and owed all the mistakes to himself when knowing her identity. He really knew how far to go and when to stop.
Ye Lan liked such kind of people!
"Master, you came so early. The girls are up. Do you want to ask them to gather here?" the old man asked respectfully.
"No, but I'd like to see the top ten popular girls." Ye Lan smiled and laughed.
"Well, I will go ask them to come out immediately." Cheng Yin nodded and left slowly.
At this time, Sister Dan, an elder woman in red, who had passed her prime, came towards Ye Lan. Sister Dan had just finished tidying the dressing of the girls, whose makeup and clothes were all inspected by her. No accidents should happen on the first day.
As soon as sister Dan, waving her fan, stepped out of the building, she saw Ye Lan and the handsome men standing next to her. She put on a smile immediately since she once saw Ye Lan. She slowly walked to her and raised the hands softly to the waist, wiggling her hips gracefully. She said in a romantic but stately way, "Dan Niang at your service, master."
"Sister Dan, get up." Ye Lan was willing to give her respect to such smart people, for they deserved it.
"This man?" Dan Niang got up and saw Libao standing behind Ye Lan and doing nothing, just like a fawn, who was so lovely. Dan Niang was shocked. She herself described a man as lovely, which was really strange!
"This young man is very good-looking. If you were born as a woman, you could bewitch the whole capital!" Dan Niang waved her fan and smiled, with the soft and waxy voice, which had been trained for years in places of pleasure, and looked at Libao up and down in a seductive way.
"Lanbao! Look at her! She wants to buy me!" Libao directly hid behind Ye Lan. Looking at his naturally engaging with people and Ye Lan's helpless look of spoiling, Dan Niang was more confident and bolder in flirting with him.
Libao did not blush. Ye Lan shook her head and looked at Dan Niang, "Sister Dan, please let him go! How can a magic Beast stand your flirtation like this!"
"You!" Libao frowned and pouted because his identity was uncovered by Ye Lan without hesitation.
"Wow! How adorkable!" Sister Dan was carried away by Libao's cute reaction.
Ye Lan shook her head helplessly for these two funny fellows. Even the cunning person like Sister Dan would fall for Libao!
"Lord! They are coming." at this moment, Old Cheng came with the ten popular girls, "At your service, master!" Ye Lan nodded at them, acquiesced to their getting up, and then looked at them carefully. They were really good, and each of them was attractive in their own way with different temperaments. Today's finale was the ten beautiful girls who had been collected from the whole capital indeed!
"Ladies, you are all my Fallen Angels' top-class girls," as soon as Ye Lan said this, she began to observe the facial expressions of the ten girls secretly. It was beyond her thought that the ten girls had been trained because they were not complacent at all. Instead, they were humbler, "Thanks for your admiration, master."
Ye Lan nodded, "You are all beautiful girls, and I hope that each of you will have your own style and personality. Do you understand?"
"Yes, we do."
This was exactly what Ye Lan wanted. The literati and elegant people liked noble and clean girls, while naturally, some other people liked enchanting ones. Besides, some people liked pure ones while naturally, some other people liked straightforward ones and coy ones! These were all!
"I will be at today's opening ceremony, so you don't have to worry. Just come forward and show your best."
"Yes!"
As the sun rose slowly, it officially marked the beginning of a day when Fallen Angels was in business!
According to Luo Yao's request, two cannons were slowly launched at the gate, with gold-plated layers and red silk surrounding them, which were very beautiful!
People did not know what this was for, so they gathered around, but after seeing the cannons, they moved back a little with fear. Ye Lan also got the response from the scrolls sent by Old Cheng to officials and civil residences. When Xiao Hei collected enough girls, Ye Lan asked him to release all the portraits of these beautiful girls, but the girls were in Fallen Angels. Although the portrait seemed to have been seen by people, the real beauties were not exposed in public. Therefore, people all doubted whether the person in the portrait was real or not, and they wondered whether the beauty was more beautiful than this portrait.
There were quite a few people who held such thoughts, so naturally many people came. Therefore, on the first day of business, many carriages that looked luxurious and noble gathered both at the front and back door of Fallen Angels. Ye Lan stood at the window on the third floor and looked at the people below secretly, with eyes smiling. It was not bad.
Dan Niang stepped onto the stage with amorous charm. With a mere fascinating smile, she had attracted many people's attention. After a brief introduction to Fallen Angels, Dan Niang stepped off the stage leisurely, which greatly increased people's trust in the portrait at the moment, for a procuress was several times younger and more beautiful than that of other brothels. Weren't the girls in the courtyard more beautiful?
As soon as such an idea came out, the level and ranking of Fallen Angels would rise a lot.
Ye Lan condensed the internal force on the third floor and used it to ring the two cannons. With two bangs, lucky happiness and shocks were brought to the opening ceremony of Fallen Angels.
Since then, Fallen Angels had impressed all the people in the capital.
The opening dancers were chosen from the ordinary dancers of Fallen Angels. They chose the flying dance which was adapted by Ye Lan and was spread in the modern Mo Kao Grotto at Dunhuang.
The yellow dress, the towering frontal bun, and the flowing tassel-silk-ribbon made a beautiful scene. The color was so bold and it was a bright color even in the capital city, making the beauties attractive, not to mention they already had a clean and noble temperament, with white skin and beautiful appearance which were distinguished from ordinary people. These beautiful girls had some Kung fu talents as well. They formed a formation and flew in the air with a lightness skill, gaining people's aaplause.
The dancers were dressed in bell-bottom trousers adapted by Ye Lan. Wearing small boots with a little bending angle in the front, they tapped slightly with jade-like-feet which were so attractive. There was no clothing around their slender twisting waists, and white skin with corsets was surrounded by jingling accessories. Although people in the capital were open-minded, no geisha ever wore such revealing clothes. However, when these clothes were worn on them, no one had any filthy thoughts, but felt they were extremely sacred and charming instead.
The sound of strings and bamboos suddenly came, which was clear and gentle; smooth and charming. Besides, the dancers moved over and over, with ribbons and wires floating across; the wind blew and the fragrance diffused, making passers-by intoxicated.
The timbre gradually cleared up after percussed and heart-striking sounds came and drums beat faster and faster. At the moment, a few beautiful girls turned around and flew in the air, the action of which in light yellow clothing intertwined softly and violently. A large number of petals fell from the sky, including roses, yulan, lily, and peony with colors containing red, white, blue and green, regardless of the cost. At the same time, besides the beauties in light yellow dancing in the petals, five girls in blue jumped down. They had even better appearances.
They looked cold and aloof, which seemed to be the extraordinary beauty worldwide. Their dance steps were getting lighter and lighter, wearing colorful and jingling gems made from the local mine and by the factory built up by Ye Lan in the wild. Of course, the colorful stones were artificial. However, they were nicer than the real ones. This was also Ye Lan’s advertisement!
