Although Xu Zhenyun had heard of this play for a long time, this was his first time watching it.
At first glance, I was surprised to find that the content on the stage was roughly similar to what really happened that night - both in the bridal chamber, Xu Zhenyun and the "banshee" had a conversation and a battle of wits and courage; in the end Weird clues were discovered from the banshee's words; then, he gradually probed and peeled off the cocoon.
It’s just the specific content of the dialogue and testing that is different.
To know this "inside story", Xu Zhenyun has not told anyone; not even the relatives of the Xu family know!
Listening to the battle of wits and courage between "Xu Zhenyun" and "Ran Chuchu" on the stage, jokes were thrown out one after another; the audience below was filled with cheers.
I never stop snickering when I encounter places where "everyone knows it".
Ran Chuchu was originally attentive and extremely interested; but when she saw what was behind her, she felt a little unbearable, her cheeks flushed slightly; for a while she covered her ears; for a moment she couldn't help but put them down.
Xu Zhenyun laughed softly and said: "Are you shy? Are you considered a 'experienced person' now? I will have to give you more lessons in the future so that you can evolve into Lao Si Ji as soon as possible."
Ran Chuchu glared at Xu Zhenyun fiercely, and pinched Xu Zhenyun's thigh with the hand hidden in her sleeve.
Although I have never heard of the term "Laosi Ji", I can roughly guess what it means based on the context.
As the play progresses and the "literary fight" part ends, "Xu Zhenyun" cleverly avoids the banshee's conspiracy to "harvest yin and replenish yang", and exposes her true face with righteousness; then "Ran Chuchu" performs a very subtle trick The "dress-up and face-changing" technique allows you to dress up like a banshee in just the blink of an eye.
Then there was a fierce fight...
At this stage, Ran Chuchu looked interested again, as if she was very involved and very nervous!
Xu Zhenyun immediately understood the "reason" of this drama.
It's indeed a good subject.
In fact, the most attractive elements of these "unrefined" street operas are two elements - one is the colorful jokes, which must make people "laugh"; the second is the fighting and some crafts exhibit.
It just so happens that in the theme "Xu Zhenyun slays demons on his wedding night", these two elements have a stage to fully develop!
This is why the content on the stage is surprisingly consistent with the truth that night.
After the play ended, Xu Zhenyun and Ran Chuchu watched two more plays; before they knew it, it was midday time.
After the third scene ended, the stage "closed", but it did not open again quickly. Instead, it was followed by the sound of a gong. The middle-aged man in a green shirt came on the stage, and everyone said: "That's it for the morning performance. ;Thank you all for your support! After an hour, the afternoon session will start on time."
In fact, nine out of ten guests watching the theater here are experienced. Before this person even came on stage, 20 to 30% of the people got up and left the table.
Xu Zhenyun and Ran Chuchu stood up at the same time, stared at Ran Chuchu's belly, suddenly smiled, took Ran Chuchu's left hand and squeezed it hard, saying: "I told you to eat an extra egg for breakfast, you are disobedient... It's lunch time, look for Let’s have a restaurant.”
Ran Chuchu blinked twice, her long eyelashes fluttered, and she said with some dissatisfaction: "I hate it...don't use your cultivator's ability to bully me next time!"
It turned out that Ran Chuchu's stomach just "gurgled"; in fact, the sound was not loud, and only he should be able to feel it; but Xu Zhenyun heard it "clearly".
Xu Zhenyun smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll just pretend I didn't hear it from now on."
Ran Chuchu looked around, her eyes suddenly brightened, and said, "Isn't my sister's 'Food is the Heaven' not far from here? Don't let the wealth go to outsiders. How about just taking care of my sister's business?"
Xu Zhenyun was stunned for a moment and then said: "Okay!"
Of course there's nothing wrong with having lunch at "Shiweitian"; it's just that "don't let the rich water flow to outsiders" sounds weird...
Take your time and enter the "Food is Heaven" gate; now is the time when Xu Qingshuang personally entertains diners three times a day; but this time the "tour" has just come to an end, and everything that needs to be said has been said.
Just as he was about to go back to the back room, he suddenly saw Ran Chuchu and Xu Zhenyun.
A moment of surprise appeared on Xu Qingshuang's delicate face; she quickly came back to her senses and made a secret face to Xu Zhenyun; then she turned around leisurely and entered the back room.
At this moment, Xu Zhenyun is another image besides "his true self" and "boy Yun Zhengxu". Xu Qingshuang has never seen it; but through Ran Chuchu, it is not difficult to guess.
Xu Zhenyun looked around the lobby and was about to find a seat to sit down; but when he looked to the right by the window, he was startled!
A handsome young man wearing a green and white brocade robe sat leisurely alone; in front of him were four plates of side dishes, a long-necked wine pot, and a white jade cup; on his right hand side was an exquisite jade-shaped fan.
Brocade robes with blue and white colors, with bamboos on the chest and sleeves, springs and other paintings are considered common; but the brocade robe he is wearing is not ordinary cyan, but a soft turquoise as deep as the sky; a knowledgeable person can see it at a glance Only a few extremely expensive dyes can produce such colors.
This outfit alone is a top luxury item besides the "Fengyatang special shoot".
Now, this dress is on Ji Xiaohua.
This "handsome young man" is none other than Ji Xiaohua who used the "Yin and Yang Four Qi Rings" and matched the corresponding costumes. But he didn't use other concealment methods except the "Four Qi Rings", so Xu Zhenyun recognized it at a glance!
The problem is that Xu Zhenyun did not use concealment methods other than the "Four Qi Rings", but Ji Xiaohua was not in a hurry to "recognize" Xu Zhenyun, but kept her eyes on the back door where Xu Qingshuang "went back"——
Although several breaths have passed since Xu Qingshuang's figure disappeared.
Xu Zhenyun took Ran Chuchu's hand, came to the seat where Ji Xiaohua was sitting, and whispered: "Teacher?"
Because he didn’t know the identity of the character played by Ji Xiaohua, Xu Zhenyun wouldn’t force it on him, so he naturally called him by his real name.
Ji Xiaohua understood, moved her eyes, stayed on Ran Chuchu for a moment, and said first: "Congratulations"; then she said: "I am just like you, in the world, my real name is my real name. So you can call me Mr. Ji .”
Xu Zhenyun raised his hands seriously and said: "Mr. Ji."
Ran Chuchu knew that she was a monk in front of her, and her eyes lit up, showing a look of great interest; but she immediately thought of something; she turned to Xu Zhenyun and said, "Do you want me to avoid it?"
Ji Xiaohua waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No need. Not to mention that this is a gathering for you and your young couple. I will not overwhelm you; and what we are talking about will not involve any secrets."
After a pause, Ji Xiaohua added: "Even if we really talk about some secrets, it's time for you to hear it today. It doesn't count as breaking the rules of Taoism and secularity - because these days are quite special, Xu Zhenyun's mind should be at an absolute level. In the freedom of spontaneity, all rules are no longer rules."
The waiter in "Food is Heaven" saw that the two seemed to be old acquaintances and had no objection to sharing a table to eat, so he immediately came to serve them.
Ji Xiaohua was so generous that she offered to treat her and ordered eight dishes.
Xu Zhenyun recalled what he had just "seen", which was enough to draw a conclusion. He frowned slightly at first, then showed a "suddenly enlightened" look; half "shocked" and half "mysterious", and whispered:
"Mr. Ji, in your last poem - 'Ever since I saw the peach blossom, I have no doubts even now' - you also talked about a lifelong marriage. Could it be that you were referring to my sister?"
Ran Chuchu was so shocked that she blinked repeatedly. She couldn't help but stretched out her neck slightly and looked at the "Mr. Ji" in front of her.
Ji Xiaohua was frank and nodded: "Exactly!"
Xu Zhenyun pretended to be surprised, as if it took him a while to "digest" the news, and then said: "Then why didn't you tell me clearly last time? And you admit it so readily today?"
Ji Xiaohua glanced at Ran Chuchu again, and said calmly: "Aren't you a 'experienced person' now? You must have a deeper understanding of the essence of 'life couple', right? I told you at the time, I was afraid that if you didn't understand it, suddenly, Make a fuss and waste a lot of words.”
"Now, isn't it the right time?"
Xu Zhenyun thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "This matter, because of our relationship, seems not difficult to do; do you want me to help you?"
Taking into account all conditions——
First of all, at the most core level, Ji Xiaohua's identity as a "teacher" is secondary; he is also the "specially recommended" person to introduce Xu Zhenyun to Taoism, and he is destined to have a lot of connections on the Taoism.
Secondly, Ji Xiaohua’s conditions are that as a top-level cultivator looking for a life partner, from the perspective of “well-matched”, it is almost impossible to find a better one; for ordinary people, having a good relationship with a cultivator is also a dream. thing!
What's more important is the "emotional outlook".
Recalling what Ji Xiaohua said and wrote poems at that time, Xu Zhenyun naturally understood that Ji Xiaohua had extremely high requirements for this matter, and her heart's expectation was that at least it would be "one person for one life, with a beginning and an end" at the "upper realm" level.
And although Ji Xiaohua's "Dharma" is a little different, even if she relies on her talent as "the best in the world", her eyesight should be more or less reliable for matters that have a high stake in her, right?
On the other hand is Xu Qingshuang’s outlook.
Now Xu Qingshuang has relented. My thoughts are slightly different from before; once you meet someone you love on a "blind date", it's not unacceptable.
To be honest, as long as Xu Zhenyun "strongly agrees", the probability of success is at least 90%!
Ji Xiaohua gently picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He said slowly: "It's not that simple."
"I also know that if you reveal your identity as a monk and find a 'life partner' in the name of a 'semi-hidden' monk, and you match up and act as a guarantee, the probability of success is extremely high. But in this way, it is possible that The highest level of potential is lost.”
"Well... I want to use a more natural method to accomplish this!"
