Li Guolou and Wang Wu were busy with their heads, and arranged for more than 200 people to sit in rows in the Qiankun Building, making a lot of noise. At this time, Lu Haikong, Xingyunfeng, Ai Hai and others came. There were more than a dozen of them pulling their heads, each sitting on the edge of a table, scanning the crowd with the expressions of the officials when they tried the case, and reprimanding a few people who jumped up and down to greet them, and the scene immediately changed, and the entire Qiankun Building was quiet and no longer as chaotic as the teahouse.

Yao Cuo said loudly: "Wang Wu, I will first arrange some people to be the instructors of these eight lambs, and train them with the system of the army, and you must also do a good job." This is the first celebration of the militia group, and no one has encountered this kind of thing, so I won't talk about you if it's a little messy. Wait for the next meeting, I want to see a disciplined and majestic militia, and then it will be loose and sloppy, and I will cut you first. ”

Wang Wu was already sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to wipe the sweat flowing down, so he stood still and said, "It's sir." ”

Li Guolou relieved himself, and felt that he was starting to get better, these martial artists are still good, he was beaten by his master when he practiced in the past, he knew some rules, and he could at least straighten his waist when he sat on the chair.

Wang Wu's senior brothers are also very helpful, and they are constantly maintaining order. Five of those who mixed in to eat the overlord meal were identified. Originally, Wang Wu's senior brother Wu Jinshui wanted to drive these five people away, but Yao Cuo stopped them and arranged these five people at a corner table to let these five people eat a table.

Li Guolou was a little dissatisfied and asked, "Captain Yao, why don't you let them go." ”

Yao Cuo sighed and said: "Deputy Li, those people are all full, in case there is a master above, don't I not give their master face?" He also said, "Wang Wu, wait for the banquet to end in a while, and give each of the five people thirty Wenxi money, so that they won't make trouble." Is this a rule? ”

Li Guolou muttered: "Why are the people of the Bazi clan like this?" ”

Yao Cuo said in a low voice: "You think I really ate the empty quota of seventy people, but in fact, at least half of them are the children of the Eight Banners who do not come to the yamen on errands, they receive monthly silver, and there are thirty-seven people who do not work in my place. After the development of the militia group, the Internal Guard Mansion will come to the Cypriot again, and the Jingshi Li Internal Affairs Office is the most shameless. ”

Wang Wu nodded and said: "Deputy Li, that's the case, fortunately, Nabazi still has some ability, and he hasn't degenerated to the point of eating his ancestors, otherwise his family would have to be raised by me." ”

Li Guolou glanced at Ai Hai sitting in the distance, the children of the Eight Banners had become unbearable, and some of them were enterprising and able to support themselves. Some of them are just a grasshopper, and they depend on people to raise them. A nation with glory has been ridiculed and looked down upon, and the Eight Banners no longer have glory to talk about.

The candy and fruits placed on the two dozen tables disappeared in the blink of an eye. Li Guolou could only ask the boss to wait for a while before going up, and the Tan family opera team finally came to the rescue, and their arrival was thunderous in the entire Qiankun Building.

In the open space in the middle of the Qiankun Building, several young people of the Tan family began to sing and fight, gongs and drums rang out, Jinghu, Jingerhu, Yueqin, Sanxian, gongs, cymbals, drums, Zhongruan, Daruan, and suona sounded, so that Qiankun Building had a playful atmosphere.

Three Eight Immortal Tables were stacked in the middle of the field, and Tan Yuelou, the master of martial arts, climbed up, lit up a good posture and sang a good opera, and a harrier turned over and jumped down from a high place, and stood firm after taking a step forward. This move made everyone applaud and applaud loudly.

Yao Cuo sighed and said: "Deputy Li, such a good troupe is about to be unable to hold on, this world is not good." ”

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "I don't think it's good, the singing is so ugly, it's good to turn a few somersaults, and there is a sea of people who can turn it down here." ”

Yao Cuo said angrily: "Fake foreign devil, what do you know." This is a troupe that only has a Beijing master, how can you Anhui countryside know how to appreciate it, you can only watch shadow puppetry. ”

Li Guolou shook his hand and said, "Okay! I don't fight with you, since it's so good, why isn't the Tan family class popular? ”

Yao Cuo pointed to the singing Wusheng and said, "Because the Tan family's class is all boys, and the old students are the mainstay." Nowadays, people like to watch the reversal, and they want to have a strong female voice, and the old men like to watch it. Why did you go to Beijing for more than a year, don't you go to the flyover? ”

In this era, men do all the things that show their faces. The people who sing the opera are all men, and the roles of women in the drama are also played by men. Of course, women can be singers, but this is a performance with a pornographic nature, and it is not allowed to perform in public. There are very few singers singing operas, and only high-ranking officials and wealthy people can organize a small singing and dancing group, and only high-ranking officials and dignitaries can watch it.

Li Guolou knows why Tan Jiaban is not popular, and Yao Cuo has already hinted at him, that is, Tan Jiaban is not selling his art, which is very different from other drama troupes. Don't underestimate the troupe, those slightly larger troupes, the protagonists in them are worth hundreds of taels of silver. There are real money and pearl agate on the costumes and props, and there are special people in the troupe to take care of the outfits, so they are afraid of being stolen. Those popular Hua Dan are all rich people's little husbands, playing the role of Hua Dan, raised as a girl since childhood, and they will like men when they grow up. The troupes that can stand on the opening platform of the Beijing Division are all rich masters. Like the Tan family's team, which relies on real kung fu to suppress the field, it has reached the end of its rope and is only one step away from disbanding.

Li Guolou glanced at Yao Cuo and said, "Since Captain Yao loves talent so much, I will take care of the Tan family team more in the future." I don't believe that Captain Yao will order the Tan family team in the future, and he is also the master who went to Huamanlou to listen to the play. As for whether I like to listen to the Xiaoxiang Gong Singing Church Meeting, I don't know. ”

Yao Cuo took advantage of the noise around him and shouted angrily: "Fuck your eight lambs, you like the little minister." ”

Although it is a chartered venue, after the martial arts are sung, there are still people who hold copper plates to ask for rewards, and the first to bear the brunt is of course Yao Cuo, which is also the rule. Yao Cuo threw a silver ingot without hesitation to give the Tan family class face. There was a cheer all around, and the sound of jingling was endless, and the rich people threw broken silver, and ordinary white dings threw copper coins one by one.

Yao Cuo was dissatisfied with Li Guolou's actions, and said angrily: "Deputy Li, I see that you are usually very generous, why were you so stingy just now, don't you give me face?" ”

Li Guolou smiled bitterly: "Captain Yao, if you don't like it, you have to reward it heavily?" ”

Yao mistakenly said: "Of course! What day is it, you can't be stingy, I'll ask the boss to ask you for a reward later. ”

Li Guolou knew that his act of throwing copper coins had caused public anger, so he nodded helplessly and agreed, and rewarded the Tan family team later.

Wu Defu's eldest entourage Wu Tatar came, and seeing his hurried appearance, Yao Cuo and Li Guolou knew that Master Bao was coming soon. Several chiefs, together with Wang Wu and several other militia organizers, immediately ran to the door to greet the chief.

Of course, the big show also stopped, and it was not until the VIPs came that the show could continue. At this time, the singing is like this, the master will stop singing when he leaves, and sometimes even start from the broken place after a few days. That's the benefit of chartering a venue, you can go wherever you want. You can also order an excerpt, which is a paragraph in the play, and you can listen to whichever paragraph you like.

The troupe has a lot of rules, and they leave the stage quietly, as if they have never appeared here. Qiankun Tower became silent again, and everyone knew that the big official was coming, but they didn't know who it was? Everyone stood up and waited silently for the arrival of the high-ranking official.

Today, Bao Tong did not come by eight sedan chairs, he came to Qiankun Building in civilian clothes to drink a glass of wine for the establishment of the militia group. Before the militia group made some achievements, Bao Tong was reluctant to show off, but his mood was already on his face, with a smile on his broad face, and three long wisps of beard swaying in the wind. The moment he stepped out of the carriage, he saw Li Guolou, and this was the second time they had met. Unexpectedly, it was this rich lord who gave him a big gift as soon as he arrived at the yamen of the criminal department, and he admired his insight in his heart and did not let the talent drain to other yamen. Thanks, luck!

Bao Tong smiled and helped Yao Cuo, Li Guolou and others up, no need to be polite, a festive feast, please!

The group stepped into the Qiankun Building in turn according to the size of their official positions, and Li Guolou still wanted to stand behind Lu Haikong in a low-key manner according to the rules, but was called to the front seat by Wu Defu, and threw the seats of the other nine masters behind.

This made Li Guolou feel uncomfortable, didn't Wu Defu's hand make him offend so many masters? Li Guolou knew in his heart that this second brother liked to play yin the most, which made him only follow Wu Defu in the future, and first came to "get carried away", which had forced him to the situation of choosing one out of ten, Li Guolou knew that in the future, he would have nine chiefs in the yamen to wear small shoes for him.

The militia is not a new thing, there was no extravagance and waste on the day of the establishment of the Beijing Division, as soon as the official master entered the door of the Qiankun Building, firecrackers were set off, and the four lions of the lion dance, shaking their big heads, appeared. The four lions are played by eight people, all of whom are the brothers of Wang Wu. This kind of lion dance performance is a compulsory course in the Beihai Martial Arts Hall, and it is often performed when the Beijing Division is engaged in activities, trying to make some happy money.

After a drum beat, the lion dance ends. Bao walked inside, and more than 200 people in the dining room immediately knelt down to see Master Bao. The kind chief, smiling and holding his hands in a false position, made everyone stand up, said an encouraging word, and stepped up to the second floor. Although the time was not long, it made everyone excited, most of them had never spoken to Sanpinguan so closely, and they all felt bright all of a sudden, and felt that being a militia group had a future.

When the wine and food were served, the originally quiet Qiankun Building began to be lively again, and as soon as the gong sounded, the Tan family class began to sing again.

The seats on the second floor can overlook the lively scene downstairs and listen to the old students' long dramas. Bao closed his eyes together, shook his head and hummed for a while, singing exactly the same as the old student, and won the applause of the three tables together.

Bao Tong nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, Master Wu, you did a good job, now that the country is at war, you can't be extravagant and wasteful, so it's good." The establishment of the militia is a happy event for the Beijing Division, and it is appropriate for the official to come to support him. Well done! Make the scene bigger, and when you have the credit, the official will ask the court for credit for you. ”

Wu Defu stood up and saluted with his fists, and said loudly: "Thank you Master Bao for your compliment, Xia Guan will definitely try his best to do his errand well." Come! Ladies and gentlemen, let us unite sincerely, do a good job in the security of Jingshi, and invite credit to Lord Bao together, and have a toast! ”

Everyone in the field stood up to toast and drank all the wine in the cup, only Li Guolou drank boiled water, and he had to drink the momentum of old wine, and said loudly that he wanted to do his errand beautifully.

The officials began to toast round after round, once again letting Li Guolou see what they could eat, drink and talk. The Jingguan who stayed in the Beijing division was as honest as water, and he usually didn't have much oil and water, so when he came out for a big meal, the nine masters all opened their bellies and ate a lot, and the bamboo leaves were poured into the stomach, just like pouring boiled water. Upstairs and downstairs cheered together, and the scene was as intoxicating as wine.

The big tongue bag walked to the table where Li Guolou was sitting, grabbed Li Guolou's hand, and said, "Little Lizi, the official remembers you, let's have a drink." ”

Liu Chengle (the official position is the same as Yao Cuo's grade) immediately changed Li Guolou's liquor and turned it into real liquor, and then the nine masters took turns to attack Li Guolou, Li Guolou was in a trance, paralyzed on the ground, the chiefs clapped their hands and laughed together, no one cared about him, and continued to drink to celebrate the establishment of the militia in Beijing.
