To attract a larger audience to Xiaoxiao's performance, in addition to the men who had helped spread the word yesterday, the folks at Yixiang Courtyard weren't idle either. They hired several people to distribute the news on the main streets.
"Lady Xiaofeng from Yixiang Courtyard has a special performance tonight, and all the attendees who address her as 'lady' will enjoy half-price services," with such promotion, indeed more people came in the evening, slightly more than the previous day, but not to a bustling extent.
This was within Xiaoxiao's expectations. To become a sensation would require time. Today, she still appeared veiled, offering room for imagination, but her performance had changed. She no longer sang but switched to performing magic tricks instead.
