At the same time as the merchants arrived one after another, there were also countless people who watched the excitement and came to hear the news, and the bustling crowd blocked several streets near the Qinghe Theater, among which many people crowded to the door of the theater with leaflets, under the gaze of Wang Wu and others, Hu Kuan and others put the people with leaflets in, and at the same time charged 20 yuan for tickets.

Because of the limited capacity of the theater, only a hundred leaflets were distributed, but it was these 100 leaflets that stirred up the bureaucratic and wealthy classes throughout Wancheng, many of which had changed hands several times, and were worth more than 200 yuan.

With the sound of neat footsteps of tapping and tapping, hundreds of soldiers in leather armor and halberds dispersed the crowd and soon arrived at the door of the theater.

Immediately behind the soldiers, a burly middle-aged man in his forties rode a cyan horse, escorted by more than a dozen guards with tigers and bears, and beside the middle-aged man there was a white-faced young man wearing a brocade robe and a golden crown, the two were the county lieutenant Gao Yan and his son Gao Yao.

"I've seen the county captain!" Countless people who watched the excitement suddenly turned frightened, and retreated back one by one in a panic, Hu Kuan and others hurriedly went out to salute, and Chen Xu, who heard the news, also came out.

The county lieutenant is already the largest local official in Daqin, although from the position it is to assist the county guard in governing county affairs, but in fact, it is the same as the county guard is Xianyang vertical fate and management, and the official rank and seal are also the same as the county guard, but they are only responsible for security affairs, and cannot interfere in civil affairs, and must obtain the consent of the county guard before transferring the soldiers, otherwise it is illegal, but if the county guard wants to mobilize the army, he must also obtain the approval of the county guard, otherwise the county guard can refuse to carry out the order, In fact, this is also a disguised control of the army, and the situation of rebellion will not occur due to the control of one person.

In the later generations, Xiang Yu rebelled, that is, he first cut down the county guard Yin Tong to get the county shou seal letter, and then hijacked the county lieutenant to issue various generals to accept orders and transfer soldiers, so that he successfully controlled the army of the entire Huiji County and became the most powerful one of the righteous troops in one fell swoop.

"Don't use too much politeness, I have heard the name of Xiaolangjun a long time ago, and there is no lie when I see it today!" After Gao Yan dismounted, he helped up Chen Xu, who was bending down and saluting, and said with a smile.

"Lord Lieutenant praised, please sit inside, the song and dance will start soon!" Chen Xu got up and said.

"Don't be busy, the county guard will be here soon, you and I will greet you!" Gao Yan said with a smile.

"The county keeper is coming too?" Not only Chen Xu was stunned, but everyone around was in an uproar.

"Your reputation of this Qinghe store is in full swing, not only Nanyang, but now even the Huiji counties in the southeast and the counties of Liaoxi in the northwest have already known, and now you have opened this Qinghe theater, although we have never heard of Tianxian singing and dancing, but the county guard is naturally interested, and I will know after a while!"

Well, Chen Xu was very helpless and had to chat with Gao Yan at the door without a word for a while, and sure enough, another team of soldiers came along the street and drove away the crowd of onlookers, a luxurious double-bridled carriage quickly stopped at the entrance of the theater under the escort of dozens of guards, and the county guard Ma Boyuan Shi Shiran got out of the car after sorting out his clothes and tiara, Chen Xu and Hu Kuan and others naturally bent down to greet them.

And after the county guard, the county Cheng Cao Kun also came one after another, and then the supervisor Shi Yongpo and seven or eight county guards came in a carriage, and when this group of Wancheng officials were invited to the theater, all the businessmen who were drinking tea and chatting and the people who came in to watch the play with leaflets stood up in a panic to greet them, and the whole theater garden was completely chaotic.

After being busy for nearly half an hour to rearrange the seats, the time had come to see that the scene had calmed down, and Chen Xu asked Hu Kuan to arrange to start the performance.

As the sound of a clanging musical instrument came from the back of the stage, the curtain on the stage was slowly opened, and the second layer of the curtain revealed the three bright red characters of Tianxian and Tianxian.

This unique opening immediately aroused everyone's interest, and one by one they stopped talking and started staring at the stage.

"There are dumplings, and there are thorns and daggers. Thoughtful as a stone, its straight as an arrow. What the gentleman does, the villain sees. Ignoring the words, he burst into tears.

……

Although it is seven, it is not a newspaper. Morning glory, not to serve the box. There is Qiming in the east and Chang Gung in the west. There is a trip to the end of the day, and the line of giving.

Vinan has a basket, and it is not allowed to be dusted. There is a bucket in Weibei, and you can't use wine syrup. Vinan has a kei, which carries its tongue. There is a bucket in the north, and the west handle is revealed. ”

A clear and tactful woman's voice came from behind the curtain, singing a poem called Dadong in the Book of Songs.

And as the poem was sung, the curtain of the heavenly immortals was slowly rolled up, revealing the third curtain, on which were written the four big characters of the next private match, and when the women's poems were finished, the curtain was rolled up again to reveal the stage behind.

The stage is not big, only twenty square meters, there are a few small trees on the stage, some apricots, plums and peach blossoms, and some patterns of landscapes, stars and clouds are painted on the curtain behind it.

A woman in a colorful dress sat among the flowers and trees weaving, then got up and looked down, and after a while began to sing.

"Jin Suo Xiaoye is busy for whom, the peach blossoms across the water are full of fragrance. All the nations are covered with rain and dew, and the nine times want to make up for Shun's clothes. Qiluo's light reflects the clouds, and the sound of the machine throws the sun and the moon long. But there is a fairy on the rooftop, who will understand the Cowherd in this life. ”

Accompanied by the backstage bell chime and flute, the woman began to babble and sing, while the curtain on the stage began to shake under the encouragement of the helpers, looking like clouds and mist were rolling.

Alas! Chen Xu's face twitched, although he knew that everyone had done their best, he still felt very scum, and the scum was a little miserable.

But the miserable stage arrangement and performance in his opinion also made everyone in the theater silent at this time, and many people couldn't close their mouths and bulge out of their eyes directly.

"Engong, I haven't seen you for a few days, this heavenly immortal match has been made much better by you!" Yu Wuya, who was standing next to him with an iron sword, also admired intently.

"On that day, Chen Lang said that he wanted to revise the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, but he didn't expect that a simple story could be rehearsed with such rich content, which is much more interesting than listening to the story, and Rou Du wants to go up and dance for a while!" Shui was soft, and there was a faint light in her big eyes, and she held Chen Xu's hand and whispered.

"If you want to, in the future, we will rehearse the Legend of the White Snake, I will play Xu Xian, and you will play the White Lady!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"What about me?" Yu Wuya also had a great desire to perform, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask.

"You play the villain Fahai!"

"Well, I like Fahai, it's a character that's completely tailor-made for me!" Yu Wuya smiled and nodded again and again.

"Well, you have to be careful in the end, maybe when you press the White Lady under the Leifeng Tower, you will be stoned to death by the angry audience below!" Chen Xu reminded.

"I'm afraid, whoever dares to smash me, I'll kill him!" Yu Wuya shrugged indifferently.

Chen Xu: ......

Looking at Chen Xu's darkened face, Shui chuckled softly and leaned his body lightly against Chen Xu, and he almost lost his spirit in an instant with a full and gentle mass.

Just as the three of them stood together and whispered, the curtain on the stage repeatedly fell and rolled up as the plot progressed, and the layout of the stage was constantly changing.

As the plot progresses, the entire theater becomes quieter and quieter, except for the musical accompaniment and singing dialogues on the stage, there is hardly any noise to hear, including Ma Boyuan and Gao Yan, all the audience are afraid of missing a little bit of the plot if they are negligent, so they dare not come out.

Time flickered and an hour passed quickly, and the performance of Tianxian Pei also entered the final end.

"The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man travels in secret. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world. Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, endure the return of the Magpie Bridge! If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight! ”

With the end of the meeting at the Queqiao, a woman's beautiful and graceful singing sounded, and the curtain hung down, with the words "The end of the play" written by the immortals, and the outermost curtain was slowly pulled up to completely cover the stage.

"If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight!" Shui gently snuggled up to Chen Xu and said emotionally, "This poem is really well written, I like it gently!" ”

"Huh!" Chen Xu laughed a few times, and said in his heart that this poem was naturally written, but unfortunately he was not written by Lao Tzu.

"This ...... That's it? ”

After the curtain was on, and the music stopped for half a minute, someone in the audience came to their senses and let out an extremely reluctant question.

And with this question, the audience in the entire theater slowly woke up, and many people stood up and shouted for the performance again.

In the midst of the noise, the stage curtain was reopened, Hu Kuan appeared on the stage, and said to the audience below: "Everyone, the performance of Tianxian is over today, one a day, and I want to see it again tomorrow!" ”

Although the audience did not give up, the curtain was quickly closed again, and the door of the theater was opened, obviously not to be received, many people had to stand up in disappointment and leave one after another, and soon spread the story of Tianxian Pei, and soon the street was full of groups of people who gathered together to listen to the story.

After watching the play, although he was still unsatisfied, the county guard Ma Boyuan still praised Chen Xu very enthusiastically and left, and the county lieutenant Gao Yan and the officials of the county Cheng and other officials of Wancheng also left by car one after another, and in the end, only Fan Yan and the businessmen who were invited to watch the play were left.
