1626 Variety Show
The Saint Divine Land was the most powerful land among the four countries. That was why the Saint Divine Land was open and flouris.h.i.+ng all this while.
There were all kinds of stands on the streets of the capital. Variety shows would happen every now and then.
Qing did not seem too interested in such shows.
They pa.s.sed by such shows before, but she was not interested in them. She only went for the food.
!!
What suddenly made her so interested in variety shows? She seemed to be very well-dressed as well.
Could the variety shows in the capital turn out to be something different?
Gu Chaoyan was very confused.
Sword One understood what her Elder Miss was thinking. She explained. “Elder Miss, there is a new variety show cla.s.s in the capital. They seem to have come from the South. They don’t reside here, they are just staying here for a few days. They are going somewhere else. They have been staying in the capital for just two days, and they will soon be leaving. That is why Qing wants to see the show now.”
“…”
“The servants from the kitchen saw the show and told Qing about it. The cla.s.s is very skillful. They put on shows that we have never seen before!”
“…”
“Qing likes to be in bustling places. She wanted me to keep her company. I was thinking that you have not been out for a while, so I was wondering if you want to join us,” Sword One explained with a smile.
That was how they always hung out with Gu Chaoyan at Xinlin Mansion. They might be the Miss and the Maid, but they were more like sisters.
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while, then she nodded.
Qing had had a bitter life with her before they moved out. Now things were much better for them, but Qing never had time to do things she liked, since she was always busy with affairs at Xinlin Mansion.
She was a very young girl and would have an interest in seeing lively shows. That was very normal. So she could keep her company.
“Get Lingyun too. She has been in the capital for a long time, and yet she has not traveled in the city. And if the maids from the court are free, take them as well. We can all go to see the show,” Gu Chaoyan said.
Sword One smiled and went out.
The maids from the court were given by the King. Gu Chaoyan accepted them since she could not turn them down.
She barely spoke with them personally. Sword One was in charge of the girls.
However, Gu Chaoyan still offered them equally good treatment even though their names were not known to her.
They had been working the court and then the mansion, and they barely went out, so she decided to take them out of the mansion for fun. People like them might not have such a chance in the future.
One hour later… the arrangements were done and they went out in a wagon.
Qing was very happy. So were the servants. They developed deeper affection and grat.i.tude towards Gu Chaoyan.
They were most jealous of Qing and Sword One, who had such an Elder Miss to serve. They were just so lucky.
The wagon went onwards slowly. However, it did not move as it reached the market.
“What is it, Mr. Coachman?”
