Xue Liangcai walked out of the political hall angrily, looking very unhappy.
Because he was optimistic about the land where he would build his house, the City Lord's Mansion actually refused to sell it.
In the end, he raised the price to the limit of his tolerance, which was already more than twice that of the surrounding land. The reply from the city lord's palace was still not to sell!
After further questioning, it turned out that the city lord himself had circled the land to build a theater.
Just kidding, Xue Liangcai is a well-informed master after all. He is seventy-two years old today. He has never heard of anything and has never seen anything. What kind of thing is a theater?
It was obviously just an excuse used by the Political Affairs Hall to deal with him.
such a pity.
His Xue family has been in business for generations and naturally has a keen sense of urban layout. In his opinion, if Dongcang City is prosperous in the future, that piece of land must be a place of wealth.
Therefore, Xue Liangcai planned to use this place as the foundation of his Xue family, but unexpectedly he was rejected again and again.
…
Returning to the rented courtyard, the three and a half young men who were running and playing in the courtyard quickly stopped when they saw Xue Liangcai and saluted respectfully: "I've met my uncle."
Xue Liangcai's expression softened a little when he saw his three grandchildren.
Although his Xue family is not a wealthy family, it can be regarded as a wealthy gentry family in a small town in Lanzhou. It is quite wealthy. In his generation, he and his elder brother were both educated, and now they are both wives. territory.
But I don’t know if his brothers overextended their offspring’s talents. He has two sons, and his elder brother has three sons, none of whom have the talent for reading.
They pinned their hopes on the next generation, but what disappoints them is that in the generation of grandchildren, none of the five grandchildren currently has the talent for reading. The three granddaughters do have the talent for reading. However, in their opinion, His talent is limited, and a Confucian scholar in the realm of poetry is probably the best.
It was not until a few months ago that several of his sons and nephews started martial arts by reading the Book of Wuhou. After some waiting and watching, Xue Liangcai and his brother Xue Lianghua finally decided to separate their families!
Like many families' choices, Xue Lianghua stayed at his ancestral home and continued to teach his three granddaughters who had the talent of reading, while Xue Liangcai went to Dongcang with his son and nephew who had already understood martial arts, and his grandson who did not have the talent of reading.
After leaving his hometown and traveling thousands of miles, he came to Dongcang City and could only live in a courtyard that seemed a bit crude to him. After finally choosing a place to start a family and being rejected, Xue Liangcai was naturally depressed.
Just seeing the three tough-headed boys made me feel a little softer.
If it weren't for them, he would still be a master anyway, so why would he have to suffer the hardship of being a lowly man who left his hometown?
It's all for the children.
Xue Liangcai reached out and touched the head of the youngest boy among them, and said, "Ne'er, where are your father and uncles?"
This is the son of his youngest son, named Xue Na, who is the most beloved by Xue Liangcai. Xue Ne said respectfully: "Back to my eldest father, my father and several uncles went to apply for the city guard camp. The two brothers are still away on missions and have not returned home."
Xue Liangcai nodded: "The martial arts hall will start in two days, and my eldest father has already signed up for you all. Then you should practice martial arts with all your heart, and don't be playful."
The three little guys saluted together and said, "I will follow your great father's teachings."
After saluting, Xue Ne stuck out his tongue again and said, "Uncle, there is nothing interesting in this place. I miss my second sister and the others."
Xue Liangcai smiled softly. The second sister Xue Ne mentioned was the daughter of his eldest son and the granddaughter who stayed in his ancestral home to study. This little granddaughter is clever and good at making desserts and delicacies. Xue Ne talks about missing his second sister, but in fact she is greedy.
At this moment, a police officer from the Government Affairs Hall walked into the compound. When he saw Xue Liangcai chatting with his grandchildren, he quickly raised his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Xue."
Xue Liang then replied: "Is there something wrong with Xian Chai?"
The other party put a piece of paper on the ground and said: "The City Lord's Mansion will have a performance of "The Consort" at noon today. Our area has been selected to be among the first to watch. Mr. Xue can bring his family along."
Xue Liangcai took the paper in confusion and asked in confusion: "Starting the show? What does this mean? What is "Female Consort"? Is there a woman in this consort?"
The policeman shrugged: "I don't know, but this was passed down from above. Let me explain it later. I have to go to the next house and say goodbye."
After saying that, the messenger turned and left.
Xue Liangcai lowered his head and looked at the piece of paper. It looked a bit like a draft newspaper, with a few big words written prominently on it——
"Create the world! Wuhou opens the drama genre again!"
"In a small space, the world is as big as the world!"
"When I sigh, I feel how long the years have passed!"
"The premiere of "The Consort", let me ask why the majestic Consort is born as a girl!"
"Please take a look!"
Xue Liangcai felt that his whole body was shocked. He had never seen such words before.
After waiting for a long time, he saw that the address at the bottom was actually the piece of land he was interested in.
"A square inch plays the role of heaven and earth, and I sigh and feel the years. What a great spirit."
"Is this the reason why I can't apply for that piece of land?"
"I would like to see what Wuhou does with that piece of land!"
…
Looking at the completed theater in front of him, Chen Luo nodded slightly.
Luo Hongnu is indeed a musical genius. He just made a few casual remarks. Luo Hongnu not only quickly found suitable people among the people of Dongcang City, but also rehearsed the entire stage performance.
After Chen Luo's approval, it can be officially performed.
On the contrary, due to time constraints, the theater could not make it so complicated. Basically, it built a hall, set up a large stage, and then set up some auditorium seats in a staircase shape. It's a bit like a lecture theater in a previous life.
When watching a play, you always have to have a sense of atmosphere.
At first, Chen Luo originally wanted to make it an open format like a big rural stage. Anyway, his purpose was not to collect tickets, but he found that it was difficult to make the audience calm down. After all, it was such a mess that people in the front were listening to the play, but basically no one could listen in the back. Cleared.
Besides, now that it is done, it should be more formal as a feature of Dongcang City. Other forms will be added later.
So he gave Master Qin a special order to build the theater as soon as possible at any cost. At present, although it is far from what he imagined, it finally has a prototype and is ready for performance. As for the details, he will slowly fill in the details later.
After checking the time, there were still two hours before the official opening. Chen Luo walked out of the "theater" and planned to see Luo Hongnu's preparations.
…
At this moment, the news of "Female Consort" has spread in Dongcang City.
"Brother, tell me, can this consort be a woman?"
"Why not? There are still women going to visit brothels? Let me tell you, this woman... uh uh uh, why are you covering my mouth, third brother!"
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! Stop talking about things that can't be put on the table. This is City Lord, our Lord Wu's article, how can we write those things!"
"Everyone, stop arguing, I heard this is still singing!"
"Singing music? The kind in the hook bar?"
"Bah, bah, bah, if you say that again, I'll beat you to death. Didn't you see that Miss Luo was singing in person?"
"Miss Luo! That's a person like heaven. I heard that Miss Luo is a millionaire in Zhongjing. Can she sing songs for us miserable people?"
"Didn't you read what the notice said? In the future, if you have contribution points, you can go in and listen, no matter who you are. But now you have to take turns!"
"Asshole, what we drew here is three days from now, and area No. 6 in the east of the city is the first batch!"
"Hey, just wait..."
…
"Is this "Female Consort" a new song composed by Wan Anbo?"
"It's just a song, why bother to mobilize so many people!"
"Yes, yes, is it to make Miss Luo famous?"
"Miss Luo has already become famous all over the world with just one thought, so why bother?"
"Everyone, I heard that this song is not sung by one person alone, but by multiple people. I'm afraid it's not the kind of song we are familiar with!"
"Yes, look at this announcement. It also says that it is Wuhou's new Wencai."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I can go watch it tomorrow and it will be clear to me at a glance."
"Hey, there are still sixteen hours and three quarters until tomorrow's viewing!"
…
"Sister Li, you also went to that...some hospital...to listen to music?"
"It's a theater. Also, the police told me that this is to go to a theater, not to listen to music."
"Yeah, I'm surprised. Aren't the people listening to the music all grown up? Why did the messenger specifically tell us, the female relatives, to go?"
"It doesn't matter. My man participated in the construction of the theater. He said that men and women would sit separately in it, so nothing would happen. Otherwise, my man would be so narrow-minded that he would take me with him when he went north, and he would still be willing to let me go with him. What kind of show are a bunch of big men sitting together watching!"
"I don't care what kind of show it is, as long as it is written by the Lord of the City, I will go to it."
"Sisters, are you also going to the theater? Why don't you go together?"
"It's just right, come on, come on, let's go together."
…
In the forty-sixth year of Zhenghe in the Daxuan calendar, it is winter.
The eighth day of November, noon.
Dongcang City.
People from all directions poured into a strange building. With number plates in their hands, they found the corresponding seats and sat down.
They looked forward strangely. There was a huge curtain blocking their sight, as if the entire hall was divided into two parts, the front and the back.
It didn't take long for the hall to be almost full of people, but everyone was asked not to speak loudly when entering, so the sound of whispers continued.
At this moment, Chen Luo took Yun Siyao into the theater, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
Only the old Dongcang people were lucky enough to have seen Yun Siyao. Now these newcomers to Dongcang suddenly saw Yun Siyao, and their hearts were moved.
I thought that Miss Luo was already a person in the sky, but I didn't expect that the city lord would have such a fairy beside him.
As expected of the Lord of the City!
"Ahem!" Yun Siyao felt the eyes on him, a little unnatural, and coughed twice. Chen Luo quickly led Yun Siyao to the front row.
Chen Luo nodded to everyone and said, "Thank you for your hard work in the construction of Dongcang City."
"Today I, Chen Luo, invite you to watch the show!"
"start!"
After Chen Luo finished speaking, the curtain covering the stage slowly opened.
On the stage, dressed in an embroidered building, a beautiful figure turned her back to the crowd.
The musicians on both sides of the stage started playing music, and the figure slowly turned back, it was Luo Hongnu.
Her eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, and following the beat of the music, she walked to the front of the stage and sang softly——
"The spring breeze brings warmth to Xiangyang, and it is even more desolate to sit alone by the west window..."
The first scene, "Embroidery House".
"Female Consort", the show begins!
