76 Chapter 77 “Becoming a Storyteller“
Li Shi Ying ignored those people mockery as she rubbed her butt in a wronged face. "Huhuhu it seems that pre-order system or booking system still haven’t exist in this world huh..."
After feeling a little bit better, Li Shi Ying hurriedly stood up and ran away from the store. Well it was her fault indeed for having not enough money.
Li Shi Ying still wanted to buy that fan for Jiu Wei so she began to think of a way to make money quickly.
She could become a street singer...but doesn’t all young ladies in the capital knew how to sing well? If thats so, she couldn’t become a street singer...
Li Shi Ying walked slowly deep in thought until she pass a bookstore. Li Shi Ying eyes accidentally saw the bookstore shop and her eyes brightened.
I know! If i didn’t remember it wrong, rich people in this world like to read a book especially story. Like novel or something like that...rich people and noble spend their time reading!
Li Shi Ying was excited. She was a good storyteller and she knew many story that this world didn’t have. For example a fairytale like Cind*rell*, Sn*w wh*t*, Sle*ping b*auty and so many else.
Li Shi Ying had decided to become a storyteller! Previously she saw quite a lot of storyteller inside a restaurant or inside a brothel...
Li Shi Ying now thought which place she should went in. Restaurant, inn, tea shop, or a brothel....hum hum hum...
After a minutes thinking, Li Shi Ying decided to go to a brothel. The reason is because there would be many rich young master and beautiful ladies inside a brothel. That way she could get more money in a quick way!
Li Shi Ying then quickly went to the most famous brothel in capital city. She intended to ’rob’ those rich young master money.
15 minutes walking, Li Shi Ying finally arrived. The brothel name is ’Heavenly Paradise’. What a good name indeed.
Li Shi Ying saw there were quite a lot of story teller inside. There were a young man, old man and middle-aged man telling a story to a lot of different customer. It seemed that inviting a storyteller was a common thing to do even in the brothel.
Li Shi Ying went inside the brothel and began to search for a ’prey’. Since other customers had already invite several storyteller, she would go to the one without storyteller yet.
A brothel was divided into many small rooms. There was also a brothel lobby and a small stage for musicians and dancer perform.
Li Shi Ying knocked on the door of every room without storyteller yet. The first room she get in was a room where there were 2 beautiful ladies and a handsome young master inside.
The young master seemed to be a noble son and he looked quite rich. Even though Li Shi Ying didn’t ask for his name.
The young master said in a slightly arrogant tone "Little boy what kind of story you can tell me"
That young master really like to hear a story but he already heard so many story from those popular storyteller and he was bored. So he permitted Li Shi Ying whose face he never seen before, to entertain him with a story.
Li Shi Ying smile and began to tell a story of "King Arthur". This story was heroic and really suited a hot-blooded youth spoiled young master like the one in front of her.
Li Shi Ying style in telling a story was different with normal storyteller who only tell a story in a third person point of view. Li Shi Ying made a dialog between the character in her story and she would change her voice according to the character.
The two ladies inside the room was so immersed in Li Shi Ying story that even they stopped ’entertaining’ the young master.
The young master mind was blown off with Li Shi Ying story. He never heard this kind of exciting story before. And the way Li Shi Ying talk was so interesting that even he himself didn’t realize that his mind was sucked into Li Shi Ying story.
The young master face would change gradually depending on Li Shi Ying story. Sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes tense and so on.
Li Shi Ying talked only for 15 minutes but for those inside the room they felt like it has been forever.
"The end! How is it young master? Is it to your liking?" Li Shi Ying ended the "King Arthur" story with perfection as she asked whether that young master like it or not.
The young master snapped back into reality after hearing Li Shi Ying word. His eyes was brimming with excitement as he stood up and said "This...your story is simply too wonderfull! I never hear this kind of story before! Good job!!"
That arrogant young master was so happy and he was in a good mood that he gave Li Shi Ying 10 silver coins! Usually a payment for 1 story was only 5 copper coins or if the story was great, 1 silver coins.
The fact that the young master gave Li Shi Ying 10 silver coins means that Li Shi Ying story wasn’t great anymore but superb, awesome, perfect!
