Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 435 - 434: Opening the Music House

As soon as Shen Qinglan finished her coming-of-age ceremony, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the work of publishing books.

With the help of Duan Yunfei and Le Zhao, the first volume of "Journey to the West" was finally released a month later.

Ten Chapters per volume, a total of ten volumes.

Thanks to the promotional assistance of Le Mansion, the first batch of stories in the first volume quickly sold out, and the second batch was released right afterwards.

Shen Qinglan decided to release the second volume a month later.

With the book side settled, she threw herself into Music House.

Through Le Zhao, she found that folk music house.

The owner, unable to keep up with expenses, had no intent to continue managing it, so he decided to transfer the music house to Shen Qinglan.

The music house was quite large, comprised of two floors, arranged similarly to Tianming Pavilion, however, this place had private rooms, unlike Tianming Pavilion.

Shen Qinglan acquired this music house for the price of five thousand taels and took over all the musicians there.

The person in charge of singing was an eighteen-year-old girl named Lian’er, although not as beautiful as Liu Chuchu, she was charming and cute.

The others were responsible for playing various instruments.

Among these instruments, Shen Qinglan had only encountered the ancient zither and guzheng; apart from these two, she recognized the rest but hadn’t interacted with them.

She called Qian Liuyun over, asking him to get familiar with Lian’er and the others.

Next, she wrote out the sheet music for each song, performed them herself, then had everyone practice playing and singing them.

The band was professional, but Lian’er, who had long sung folk tunes, found it somewhat challenging to sing Shen Qinglan’s "pop songs," making the sound somewhat awkward.

Compared to her, Qian Liuyun found these quite easy, singing them with the right vibe.

After a period of training, everyone gradually got accustomed to the "pop songs" style.

During the acceptance assessment, Shen Qinglan let Lian’er and Qian Liuyun perform "Night of Flower and Moon" as a duet.

Both of them had exceptionally rare voices, and with the time spent together and the honing, they had gradually developed some rapport, making their collaboration not perfect but without major issues.

"This is the first time I’ve sung such a song," Lian’er said blushing: "Though the lyrics are simple and the tune isn’t complicated, both the lyrics and tune are very pleasant and easy to understand."

Qian Liuyun nodded in agreement, "Indeed."

Shen Qinglan smiled and handed them the remaining song list and sheet music.

"Try playing and singing these ten songs; I’ll come for an assessment in a couple of days. If all pass, then our ’Heavenly Melody’ will be ready to launch."

"Will anyone come to listen?"

Perhaps the previous music house had been in decline for too long, making Lian’er somewhat insecure.

"They will," Shen Qinglan said calmly, "Trust me!"

"What made Miss think of the idea that people need tickets to come in?"

Qian Liuyun found Shen Qinglan’s idea quite novel; at least until now, he had never heard of the concept of "tickets."

Of course, Shen Qinglan couldn’t tell them that she learned this in her previous life, so she could only say: "It was a thought that occurred to me, and I wanted to try it."

Lian’er said, "Miss is the smartest woman Lian’er has ever seen!"

Smart?

Shen Qinglan faintly smiled, she was merely borrowing others’ ideas.

If she hadn’t been fortunate enough to live twice, she probably wouldn’t have thought of these things.

"You all get busy," she said looking at everyone: "During this period, if you encounter any problems, you can talk to Ah Xiang, she’ll come to find me."
