Xu Le's words really put Jia Hui into trouble.
It sounds like it makes some sense.
Jiaofangsi opera singer = the daughter of a prisoner = the young lady of an official family.
"Forget it, you just have to know what's going on." Seeing Xu Le's eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, it was obvious that he had already made a plan, so Jia Hui couldn't say anything else.
And as he said, as his old subordinate, a direct descendant of the direct lineage, there is no need to worry about things like his future. He only needs to do his job conscientiously. The rest, as a person who needs to cultivate the direct lineage's power, will naturally Done
Tsk, this guy just looks stupid, but if anyone really thinks he is stupid, it will be over.
After Xu Le said this, Jia Hui no longer wanted to stay in the hotel for a long time.
He was going to take Xu Le to see if it would work, and maybe he would meet his destined lover.
After getting out of the pool, I rinsed my body and didn't wear the clothes I brought before. Instead, I put on the half-sleeved shirt and bloomers given by the store. After all, I only had ten taels of silver per person. It's better to give back to customers with these things that are not worth much. , to deepen the impression and reputation.
They didn't spend extra money to buy a banquet. After all, they had to go to the theater to watch a show later, so Jia Hui and Xu Le just ate some pasta provided by the store.
Both of them were able to eat and drink, and it was too uncomfortable to eat just pasta, so they asked the shopkeeper to weigh ten pounds of meat at the best mutton shop in Chang'an City, and ordered a few extra dishes before they managed to make do with it. It filled their stomachs.
This perfume shop naturally provides this service. It's not the shopkeeper's fault, but any food that can be bought in the market in Chang'an City can be bought by the shop assistants within three-quarters of an hour.
Regular customers who come often know about this service, so before entering the pool, everyone agrees with the store owner what they want to buy and how long to soak for, so that they can eat what they want after washing out.
Naturally, this is not the first time that Jia Hui has come back. As early as when he returned to Beijing from the plateau and passed through Chang'an, Jia Hui, Chen Si and a group of brothers had come here to have fun. If they had enough money, the store could even start from Pingkangfang. Several big stores in the country brought in a few girls.
"Hiss. So comfortable!" Jia Hui, who had finished the last bowl of steamed noodles and had a round belly, leaned back on the chair happily, picked up the hawthorn water brought by the shopkeeper himself, and took a sip.
"Hip Laosu, regarding this hawthorn digestion water, I think your recipe is much better than those century-old recipes from famous restaurants." He drank the few mouthfuls of hawthorn water in one gulp. After burping, Jia Hui turned his head and looked at Shopkeeper Su who was filling his bowl with hawthorn water and said.
The Taiwei arrived in person, but the waiters were too low-level to serve him, so shopkeeper Su, the owner of the perfume shop, came to serve the Taiwei personally.
As long as you take good care of the Taiwei and make him come often, your perfume shop will be like having an invisible backer!
It can avoid a lot of trouble!
"Hey, the captain praised it so much, he praised it so much." Hearing Jia Hui's praise, shopkeeper Su was ecstatic. It was such a happy event that his hawthorn water was praised by the captain!
The Hawthorn Water Recipe that was praised by the Taiwei is a business that can be passed down from generation to generation!
If this perfume business cannot continue in the future, as long as it has a name like "This is a good thing that Jia Taiwei even praised", then this business can continue for a long time.
Soon, Xu Le also finished eating, and Jia Hui took him out of the perfume store and walked towards the theater not far away.
It was already dark. Although there was a curfew in Chang'an, it was not strictly enforced. As long as you paid enough money to the Chang'an government office, you could set up a stall in front of your house and do business for your neighbors. No matter how much Wuhou patrolled the city, he would not care. of.
However, since the Second Saint led the civil and military officials to hunt west, the curfew has been strictly enforced. Although it will cause dissatisfaction among the people, it is not a big deal. At most, there will be less entertainment activities at night. Some people have calculated that since During the month when the Second Saint visited Chang'an, he actually saved a lot more money than before!
Although the small vendors will make a lot less money, the Yamen actually said that they will not collect the stall money for the past few months. After calculation, the loss will not be huge, so they have to hold their noses and endure it.
But for Jia Hui, a curfew? nonexistent.
"I pay my respects to the Captain!"
"Ah, it's Ning Zhantou, where's the city patrol?"
"I humble my position and pay my respects to the Taiwei!"
"Hey, Lao Huang, you're here to patrol the city today!"
Along the way, Jia Hui kept saying hello to the groups of people responsible for patrolling the city that he met, and it seemed that he had become familiar with these groups.
The evening breeze was gentle, carrying a cool breeze that was rare during the day, and the clear sound of cicadas could be heard from the yards on both sides of the road.
Jia Hui and Xu Le, who were also wearing half-sleeved shirts, bloomers and wooden clogs, quickly walked to the theater.
The number of acquaintances was gradually increasing. Most of them greeted Jia Hui very enthusiastically. A few people who were familiar with Xu Le also came forward with surprise on their faces. They first paid homage to the Taiwei and then started chatting with him.
Jiaofangsi's theater was brightly lit, and many specially customized lanterns hung at the entrance actually illuminated the area at the entrance. A group of girls in gorgeous dresses were welcoming the audience with bright smiles. Big shots in the nightclub.
Some of them came together with their wives who also loved going to the theater, some of them brought their newly acquired concubines to show off, and some of them just took several girls from Pingkangfang and drove them panting. We drove to the backyard of the theater, where there were several relatively secret stairs that led directly to the box level.
"Hey, hey, hey! Xiaodie, Xiaodie, look here, is that the lieutenant?"
While Jia Hui was chatting with familiar dignitaries, several girls who were in charge of welcoming guests were also surprised to find him, and then started chatting with the people around him with gossipy faces.
Taiwei loves to watch plays. This is not a secret at all in Jiaofang Division, but who told Jiaofang Division to have a member of the Wu family who fell in love with Taiwei from a distance because of four poems?
"Ah, it's true! Are you here to see Sister Wu?" The girl named Xiaodie also noticed the Taiwei surrounded by the crowd, and her eyes were full of gossip.
The guests of the Jiaofang Division were all very concerned about whether the Taiwei would create some sparks with the Wu family, not to mention those who were members of the Jiaofang Division with the Wu family!
"Maybe! Isn't today's new play starring Sister Wu? I see, the Taiwei made a special trip to meet Sister Wu!" A little clever guy also joined the conversation, getting more and more excited as he talked.
"Then do you want to inform sister Wu? So that she can be prepared?"
"That's for sure! What if the Wu sister sees the Taiwei stunned on the stage? Go and notify him!"
The girls quickly came to a consensus and quickly sent the little sister at the back of the team to inform the Wu family.
The leading girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Before her grandfather's incident, her family had a close relationship with the Wu family's grandfather, and they grew up wearing crotchless pants together!
Later, we played together, went to school together, were beaten by our teachers together, were chased by bandits together, were admitted to Jinshi together from a white body, embezzled part of the money and food given to the founding Anxi Protectorate together, had our homes ransacked together, and were beheaded and abandoned in the market together.
Even his wife and daughter were taken into the Jiaofang Division!
Naturally, I and my sister from the Wu family have also become good sisters who have grown up together since childhood. After being admitted to the Jiaofang Department, they have also supported each other as sisters. However, my talent in folk music is not very good. If it were not for the excellent talent of my sisters, I would defeat countless others. As competitors, everyone has some power, otherwise they will be sent to the brothels below!
Therefore, the head waiter girl was full of gratitude to her sisters.
As for jealousy? It would be great if I could live a carefree life in Jiaofangsi. I really don’t envy other people’s strength.
This time, her sister was losing weight because she was in love with the Taiwei but could not see her. This made her so anxious that she wanted to rush into the Taiwei's house and tie Taiwei Jia in front of her sister!
However, she was just a female prisoner who was assigned to the Jiaofang Division and was powerless.
Moreover, one of the Taiwei's arms is almost as thick as his own waist. He might not be able to hit him to the Hall of Hell with just one punch!
After adjusting his mood and putting on a heartfelt smile, he exchanged instructions with a girl next to him, then moved his steps lightly to greet the Taiwei who had already approached.
. . . . . .
Backstage, Mr. Wu was using a pen to outline his brows. He looked through the bronze mirror at himself with a charming smile after putting on makeup, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
I took out a stack of paper from the small box that had yellowed fingerprints on the edges, but had no wrinkles on the whole. I couldn't help but be fascinated by the poems that the man had transcribed by his own hands.
"Fenghuixian rides the clouds and opens the fan, the moon falls in the late night and the stars turn around. The dream soul is frightened on the pillow, and the rain is sparse on the eaves at dawn."
After reading it, Wu everyone put the pieces of paper back into the box sadly and locked them with a small brass lock the size of a knuckle, as if they had locked the person into their own hearts.
I thought that after living in Jiaofangsi, I would not have any feelings for men, but when I met that man when I was hunting west, I realized that what I didn't like was only those big and thick men and those who were thinner than myself. Those oil-faced young men who put on makeup and makeup!
At first, I just had some good feelings, but when I sang the song "Mountain Goat", a feeling I had never felt before came to my heart, and it was the first time I focused on a person. But the way that man looked at me was no different from others, and it never changed at all!
After waiting for a long time, I began to slowly forget about him. On the night of Qixi Festival, three more masterpieces by that man were published, and I heard his name and read his works again.
"Sister Wu, Sister Wu! Good news!" A lively girl's voice came from outside the door, disrupting everyone's thoughts.
The Wu family heard the sound and turned their heads. They saw that the door curtain was gently opened a crack, and a very cute girl with a smile was looking into the room.
"Xiaodie? What's the good news?" The Wu family, who recognized the person, smiled slightly and waved slowly towards Xiaodie.
"Hehe." Seeing the Wu family sister letting him in, Xiaodie didn't see anyone outside. He opened the door curtain and walked in, sitting opposite the Wu family.
"Sister Wu, I have good news here. Do you want to hear it?" The girl squinted and smiled like a little fox.
"Okay, let's talk about it." Everyone in Wu was interested. Could it be that Fatty Zhao's conscience discovered that he had offended all the sisters in the building?
"Sister Wu, how about you take a guess?"
"Oh, forget it, I don't seem to want to hear it." Mr. Wu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"No, no, no, sister Wu, just take a guess." Seeing that the Wu sister did not cooperate with her, Xiaodie quickly stretched out her hands to hug the Wu family's arms and shook them while acting coquettishly.
"But Xiaodie, you didn't even give me any hints, so where am I supposed to guess?" The Wu family spread their hands with the arms that were not being held, showing that they were very troubled.
"This" Xiaodie felt a little confused.
It’s not that my sister doesn’t want to give you hints, but the hints are clear instructions!
However, she was worthy of being the girl who was sent to greet the guests, and her mind was quite active. After thinking for a while, she straightened up and looked at the Wu family with an ambiguous face, until the Wu family looked a little embarrassed.
"You girl, why are you looking at me like this? If you want to say something, just say it. If you don't say it, it's time to rest. Just go and do your work!" The Wu family said with some annoyance. They originally wanted to see this girl at the door. After standing for a long time, I wanted to talk to her here and take a break!
But since you don’t want to say it, then go back to work!
"No, no, no, sister, sister has clearly given you a reminder." Xiaodie was very aggrieved. She had just given you a reminder!
"What a hint! You were obviously just looking at me and didn't say a word!"
"But alas, sister is an idiot! Her eyes, her eyes!" Xiaodie made that ambiguous smile again, but maybe because she was a little impatient in her heart, this ambiguous expression looked funny no matter how you looked at it.
"Pfft!" The Wu family, who were amused by Xiaodie's deformed expression, quickly covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, but they didn't expect that this subtle laughter would eventually become the last straw that overwhelmed Xiaodie's reason.
"Ouch!" Xiaodie instantly became angry and stood up decisively and chose to leave!
Even if I break my leg standing at the door, I won't rest in your room!
snort!
But Sister Cao, the head waiter, had to do the task entrusted to her, so after Xiaodie opened the curtain and opened the door, she turned around and opened the door curtain again, wrinkled her nose and looked at the Wu family who looked puzzled.
"Poetry! Lyrics! Music!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Wu family, who were still a little dazed just now, suddenly stood up straight as if they were electrocuted. They looked at Xiaodie who was gradually smiling evilly with a look of disbelief on his face. His mouth kept opening and closing, but he couldn't say a word. Got it
. . . . . .
"Hey, General, this is the first-class box of Jiaofangsi!"
In Room No. 2, Tianzi A, on the box floor of the theater, Xu Le touched here and looked there as if he had never seen the world before. He looked at the people who had already sat down with an expression like "A countryman has seen a lot in the city." In his seat, Jia Hui began to read the lyrics.
"Hmm, isn't it just a first-class private room? Except for the first-class private room upstairs, which is reserved for the royal family, this one is the most luxurious." Jia Hui nodded, but his eyes were fixed on it. The name written at the top of the lyrics score
Wu Lanxian plays Bai Suzhen!
call.
Almost all the candlelight was extinguished instantly, leaving only a few faint flames shining on the stage at the front.
“I’ve waited a thousand years for this to come back, and I have no regrets about it.
Right or wrong, who to ask? Three lives of love will always pursue each other.
Tears are flying, tears are flying,
Turn into a surging river of water! "
