Since the sentence of the Du Gong Department, "Wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist and ride a crane down to Yangzhou", Yangzhou has become one of the most desirable holy places for literati and scholars in all dynasties for thousands of years.

The beauty of Yangzhou lies not only in its ink-like landscape gardens, but also in its humanities.

It lies in the uninhibited elegance of talented people and celebrities, and in the talent and affection of the stunning Oiran.

In addition, the pear orchards in Gusu and Yangzhou are also very prosperous.

In the previous life, the opera troupe in the Grand View Garden of the Red Mansion, the twelve petty officials and the opera teaching were bought back by Jia Qiang and Jia Rong in Gusu.

In the south of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou's opera troupe is no less than Gusu.

Among the many Liyuan stage teams in Yangzhou Mansion, the Bai family's Sixi Building can be regarded as the best theater building.

Generally speaking, the troupe never performs in one place, but maintains a certain degree of mobility.

Because a good troupe must be recognized by the majority of people in order to truly make a name for itself.

And after the name is established, whoever wants to listen to the church will go to invite it.

This custom has existed since ancient times, and the "scattered music" recorded in the "Zhou Li" is like this.

It's just that in this generation, Yangzhou salt merchants are too rich to need the troupe to eat "Baijia Rice" for a living, so they simply raise [www.biquwu.biz].

In order to cultivate well and make a name for himself, he opened a theater and opened it to the outside world.

Even ordinary people can go into the building to listen to it for ten or twenty yuan.

Among them, the Bai family's "Four Happiness Class" is the most famous, and in the entire Jiangnan, only the Zhen family's Sanqing Class can be compared.

Although the Bai family is rich, it is far inferior to the Zhen family, which is known as the first in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not to mention, the excellent people in Jiangnan called Zhen Yingjia, the head of the Zhen family, and didn't even call Master Zhen, but directly called "Zhen Buddha".

Because they have something to ask, Zhen Yingjia basically responds to what they want.

How can this be compared to the Bai family's salt merchants?

But Rao is like this, and the Bai family's Sixi team can also rank second in Jiangnan.

In addition to the wealth of the Bai family, this also shows another layer of deep meaning:

The foundation of the Bai family is by no means as simple as a businessman.

But......

So what.

"Brother De'ang, please!"

"Hehe, brother Liangchen, please!"

"Zhong Luan, please!"

"Second Master Qiang, please!"

In front of the archway of Sixi Building, Jia Qiang let go left and right, laughed, took a step forward, and strode towards the main entrance of the theater.

The welcoming guy only saw Jia Qiang's style, and knew that he must be a rich person.

Looking back, the cold sweat came down, they didn't know Jia Qiang, could they still not know Qi Yun and Xu Zhen?

Even these two people are one step behind, and the identity of the one who is ahead ......

Thinking about the recent boiling Pearl Pavilion incident in Yangzhou City, it is not difficult to guess.

"Ouch, Uncle Jia, Uncle Qi, Second Master Xu, please among the three of you!"

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows lightly when she heard this, Qi Yun smiled, and Xu Zhen casually threw out a piece of broken silver, and scolded with a smile: "You are ...... obediently."

He said to Jia Qiang and Qi Yun: "We were wrong, we should change into tattered beggar clothes, and it will save trouble." ”

The young man smiled on his face, but he was confused in his heart, and he didn't understand what he meant.

Jia Qiang glanced at him, and then said to Xu Zhen: "Then you can go and change your body now." ”

Xu Zhen snorted, diverted the topic and asked the young man: "Is your young owner Bai Ziqing here tonight?" ”

The young man hurriedly replied: "I am here, tonight our famous actor Jin Yu of the Sixi class will perform on stage, every time he takes the stage, our uncle will definitely cheer!" ”

Xu Zhen smiled at Jia Qiang and said, "Do you guess this Jin Yu is a man or a woman?" ”

Jia Qiang glanced at him, Xu Zhen smiled, and the three of them were introduced into the building by the young man and sat down in the elegant seat not far from the stage on the first floor.

"Bai Ziqing, I haven't seen anyone."

After taking a seat, Xu Zhen looked around at the elegant seat with melon and fruit tea trays on the left and right, and asked with a smile.

It's no longer a young guy waiting, but Zhao Bo, the senior brother of the Sixi team.

Zhao Bo smiled and said, "Uncle Bai is in the background, accompanying Miss Jin." ”

Xu Zhen laughed and scolded: "Bullshit golden girl! It's clearly a handle! ”

"You ......"

The senior brother of the Sixi class turned red when he heard this, he was also singing Danjiao, he was girlish in his gestures, the orchid finger was erected, and he wanted to reprimand Xu Zhen, but he saw Xu Zhen's smiling face, and seemed to be waiting for him to open his mouth. ”

Jia Qiang took the initiative to move the chair away from Xu Zhen's side, and her disgust was self-evident.

Xu Zhen scolded angrily: "Less fart!" The master watches the play and watches the play, but it is not like the two masters of the Bai family, playing with rabbits in the nest! ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Jia Qiang's sideways eyes, Qi Yun was a little shocked.

He didn't expect that Xu Zhen would be so hard-working, and the Xu family would be so open-minded.

No wonder Jia Qiang looked at Xu Zhen with admiration......

Then I heard a loud shout not far away: "Xu Zhongluan, what are you talking nonsense?" If you don't want to watch the show, get out of here! ”

Jia Qiang and the three of them turned their heads to look, and saw Bai Ziqing of the Bai family with two people behind him, coming out of the side of the stage and coming here.

However, after scolding Xu Zhen, he quickly changed his face, and said with a smile: "Brother De'ang, Jia Gongzi, why don't you say hello when you come to my Sixi Building to listen to the play?" If you say it earlier, you won't accept outsiders tonight, and you will be entertained by the two distinguished guests. ”

Qi Yun smiled and said, "Right learning, what's polite." It's okay today, because Liangchen remembered a troupe, so we'll go to you to take a look. ”

The corners of Bai Ziqing's eyes twitched, and he smiled: "Jia Gongzi also thinks of the troupe? Why bother, if the adults of the Yanyuan want to listen to the play, just send someone to speak. ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Aren't I a relative of Lord Yushi of the Yamen Yamen of the Yanyuan from the capital?" Have this decency? ”

These words were originally in the Plum Garden that day, when Bai Ziqing stood on the platform for the Feng family, he ridiculed Jia Qiang's words.

At that time, the outside world always believed that Lin Ruhai was on the verge of death, and even if he was saved, he would be half dead.

More importantly, the Yangzhou government already knew that the Yanyuan Yamen was going to be abolished, and the power was vested in the Yamen of the Liangjiang Governor.

Lin Ruhai's weight has been greatly reduced, not to mention one of his distant relatives?

So Bai Ziqing didn't take Jia Qiang in his eyes that day.

But who would have thought at that time that although Lin Ruhai was still sick in bed, he was generally fine, and he had been friends with the new governor of Liangjiang for a long time, and had exchanged letters for many years?

Han Bin not only did not rush to seize power, but entrusted the salt affairs to Lin Ruhai, and the Great Seal of the Salt Courtyard was still in Lin Ruhai's hands.

The two New Deal bigwigs knocked the Mei family and the Feng family into the dust with their hands, and they will never be able to turn over.

Under this kind of "obscenity", even the Qi family, the head of the eight major salt merchants, knelt down, and looked at Jia Qiang, and even sent a small island at a loss to please the salt courtyard, let alone a Bai family?

was slapped in the face, Bai Ziqing was furious in his heart, but he smiled sincerely, and said: "It was indeed a mistake that day, and before I knew what was right and wrong, I helped the Feng family." At that time, I was just thinking about Sang Zi's feelings...... It's a shame, a shame. ”

Jia Qiang looked at him playfully for a while, then nodded: "It's okay, I'm also a worldly person who doesn't help my relatives, how can I be harsh on you?" ”

When Bai Ziqing heard this, after thanking him with a smile, he sat down in the elegant seat behind the three-seater, which can be regarded as admitting that he bowed his head and made amends.

But looking at Jia Qiang's gaze and the smiles of Qi Yun and Xu Zhen, he always felt that something was wrong, and his back was cold......

At this moment, the sound of gongs suddenly sounded on the stage, and the drumsticks hit the face, as if from far and near, and the sound entered the ears.

With just one hand, the attention of the audience was attracted to the past, and loud applause came and went.

In this era when there is no electricity, no network, and no mobile TV, watching dramas is definitely an entertainment activity that is wildly sought after by the whole society, and it is also the most popular entertainment activity.

From officials and nobles, princes and nobles, to peddlers, pawns and even beggars, they are all obsessed with opera.

As a famous theater in the entire south of the Yangtze River, Sixi Lou is a famous actor in the stage today, so those who can come to see the play today are all people with heads and faces in Yangzhou Mansion, at least people with solid family backgrounds.

At first, they may have paid attention to Jia Qiang and his party at the front, but with the sound of gongs, everyone's attention shifted to the stage.

The exchange or confrontation between Jia Qiang and other powerful sons was too far away for them.

The situation is stable now, and there will be no more major moves.

It is rumored that the Bai family seems to have offended the relatives of the Lord of the Salt Courtyard, but now everyone has come to watch the play, which means that this festival has passed.

The rest, what's the matter, it's not good-looking, right?

"The silk blows to the idle courtyard, swaying the spring like a line. Stop for a long time, and make a whole flower. ”

"I didn't carry the rhombic flower, I stole half of the face, and the colorful clouds were funny."

Danjiao appeared, only opening two sentences, and the applause in the entire theater building instantly boiled to the sky, as if it was about to lift the roof of the Sixi Building.

Jia Qiang was a little incomprehensible, and she couldn't appreciate it, and her brain hurt by the noise, and she frowned.

Everyone else has been listening to the play tonight, but Bai Ziqing, who is restless, has been observing Jia Qiang, Qi Yun, and Xu Zhen from behind.

Qi Yun, the first person of the young generation in Yangzhou Mansion who is recognized as highly resourceful, although he is jealous, he has to obey.

And the Qi family's power in Yangzhou Mansion is also incomparable to the ten Bai families combined.

As for Xu Zhen......

One of the three prodigal prodigals is an alternative in the Xu family, and I don't know if the head of the Xu family is dizzy, and he prefers this idiot very much, and Brother Xu Zhen has long been dissatisfied.

However, these two people seem to be fascinated by the drama on the stage and watch it carefully.

It's this kid from the capital, who didn't even listen to Jin Yu's play, and it was really a nephew from the north......

"Second Master Qiang, is this scene difficult to get into the eyes of Second Master Qiang? Also, I heard that before coming to Yangzhou Mansion, Second Master Qiang and Second Master Lian went to visit the Zhen family together, and the three celebration classes of the Zhen family are indeed higher than the four happy teams of my family. Liu Zimo of the Sanqing class, Nadanjiao is also so much better than Jin Yu. However, if the second master is willing, the Bai family can give the second master a troupe, all of which are teenage little girls, and it is very suitable for them to watch in the back house. ”

Bai Ziqing was behind Jia Qiang and whispered, with the meaning of bowing his head and making amends.

It seems that these rich children who have been vigorously cultivated by the family are not all incompetent and angry waste.

At least, in terms of human feelings, they know when to bow their heads, when to be generous, and when to turn enemies into friends.

It's just, it's a pity......

Before Jia Qiang could speak, Xu Zhen beside him suddenly sang along with the stage:

"It turns out that the purple and red are blooming all over the place, and they are all paid to the broken wells like this."

"The beautiful scenery of the good ministers is the sky, and the pleasure is in the courtyard!"

Singing this, Xu Zhen suddenly turned around and sang to Bai Ziqing: "The scenery is like this, my lord and your grandmother will not mention it again~~"

This tampered word and frivolous action made Bai Ziqing furious.

Qi Yun, he can't afford to mess with it!

Jia Qiang, he can't afford to mess with it!

But the second child of the Xu family dares to be angry with him, isn't this looking for death? !

However, before he could attack, suddenly, he heard a cry from the backstage, Bai Ziqing's heart sank, and as soon as he stood up, a figure flew over the curtain with a "bang", fell heavily on the stage, and smashed over several drums and gongs.

The play stopped suddenly, and there was chaos!
