103. Throw silver to hold horns

The peony garden in the middle of the night, brightly lit.

The two stages are separated by a lotus pond and look at each other, and each can hear the silk and bamboo drums on the other side of the stage and the loud applause from the audience.

Of course, you can also see the dancing sleeves on the other side of the stage and the crowd of people under the stage.

For the stage play, the focus is no longer on the "play", but on the "stage". Whether it is the pipa bamboo flute in the corner, or the Shengdan Jingug in the center of the stage, they have tried their best, trying to compare and suppress the one on the opposite stage, and win a unique coquettish stand for the team on their side.

Of course, the contest between the teams is secondary. Everyone knows that tonight's play is a decisive battle between the two famous Dans in Beijing, known as the "Double Unique".

sang "The Story of Huansha" on stage, a decent play.

However, the play is a rule, but people have to compare. So as soon as Na Shih Tzu came to power, there was a roar of applause below. A smooth flick of the sleeves, a clear recitation, a turnaround chant...... You can mess with a full house at any time.

The consequence of such a comparison is that a small scene has not yet been sung, and most of the fans on both sides have already lost their voices.

Later, some spectators who watched the excitement began to string on both sides, talking loudly with each other, and comparing the appearance and singing of these two "Xi Shi" in all aspects, they must be divided into high and low.

When discussing together, it is inevitable to argue. So there were more and more people shouting and waving fists, and the audience watched chaos.

Of course, the chaos is limited to the scattered seats downstairs, and those who have paid a lot of money to go upstairs to sit in the box are not affected at all.

The drama on stage was still babbling and singing, and it was not sluggish by the noise or brawls of the fans.

Everyone knows that no matter how fierce the quarrels and brawls downstairs are, it is the rich old ladies and women in the box upstairs who decide the winner.

Hold the horn, that is to spend money to "hold"! If you don't have money and only say "like", who is rare about your "like"?

In the interval between the two folds, Wan Nianqing and Luo Xiaoying, who were doing makeup backstage, looked at a certain box on the second floor.

I heard that six or seven noble sons came together today, but they were not as arrogant as before, but carefully served a son and a young lady.

Who will be the one who is feared by those unbeatable nobles?

At this time, a laugh sounded in a box facing the Locke family's stage: "You said that the little overlord of the General's Mansion is following others as a grandson today?" What is the origin of that man? ”

The old man smiled: "What's the origin, won't the owner guess?" ”

As he spoke, he held out a finger and pointed to the sky.

The girl next to her laughed "sneer": "Shopkeeper Cheng is so smart, can you guess which Tianhuang nobleman is here today?" ”

That old man was the shopkeeper of the Jin Pavilion in Sangyu County. He stroked his beard and shook his head and thought for a while, but finally did not say his guess, and only said vaguely: "There are so many princes, county kings, princesses, and county lords in the capital, who knows which two are here today?" - Hey, no, the owner, I'm talking to you about the fifth master, why do you only care about what heavenly nobles? ”

Zheng Xian'er leaned on the soft couch and smiled lazily: "There are Tianhuang nobles, who cares about the 'fifth master'?" - Hey, which fifth master? ”

Shopkeeper Cheng looked helpless, smiled bitterly and wrapped his beard around his fingers: "Boss, we were talking about the fifth master just now!" He and several noble sons accompanied the two young ladies to come, and now they are sitting in the box opposite us! I've been talking about it for a long time, and you've only heard about Tianhuang nobles and little overlords? ”

"Oh," Zheng Xian'er nodded, "So, the 'fifth master' you are talking about is the little follower of Miss Gongzi?" But why should I care about a little follower, and why do you call a little follower 'master'? ”

Shopkeeper Cheng poured a cup of tea into his mouth and said vaguely: "The owner, not everyone can be a follower to the Tianhuang nobles!" Our fifth master is the champion ......"

Zheng Xian'er sat up straight with a "whew": "What five masters, six masters, what champions, does it have anything to do with us?" Listen to the play! ”

Shopkeeper Cheng didn't dare to say any more, so he had to shrink his neck and exchange a helpless look with Xiaozhi.

- Owner, we are here to buy shops in the capital to do business, not to visit the garden and make a show!

β€”β€”It's been almost a month since you entered Beijing, and you haven't found the shop, but you first fell in love with a little white face who is neither male nor female, and you waste your time in this opera garden day and night!

- If you continue like this, boss, you are going to finish!

Of course, Zheng Xian'er didn't hear the slander of the shopkeeper Cheng.

After the stage became lively again, her eyes were attracted again, and she couldn't take her eyes off.

Several girls and guys present were very worried when they saw this: this woman had affectionate eyes and a smile on the corners of her lips, and she clearly looked like a young girl with a spring pregnancy, could it be ......

For a certain master in the breadbox, if you don't come again, the daughter-in-law who got it will run away!

The chaos downstairs has not stopped, and the new excitement has added a lot.

Some of the spectators in the pool seat gradually became dissatisfied with shouting and cheering, and began to throw money on the stage in a competitive race.

Throwing money is the most direct and sincere compliment, but it is also a distraction that can even turn into a disaster.

Soon someone realized this, and the place where the copper coins were spilled began to fall not only at the feet of the actors, but gradually fell on the well-made faces.

Later, it gradually fell on the stage more than copper coins - it was inevitable that someone would take advantage of the chaos to touch some chess pieces, stones, and rubble and throw them on.

The chaos has reached this point, and the patrol soldiers on the bullet seat are powerless.

So the sound of silk and bamboo gradually became chaotic to the point of being out of tune. Finally, the curtains on the stage on both sides were closed one after another, hiding the frightened two famous actors behind the scenes.

Copper coins, silver ingots, or anything else were still smashing onto the stage, crackling like a summer afternoon rain.

Zheng Xian'er stood up, walked to the window, and smiled: "No wonder they say that the capital is full of money!" Tsk, the money on the stage on both sides should be enough to buy this theater garden, right? ”

Shopkeeper Cheng stood up and said with a smile: "Where is this going, the really rich men haven't made a move yet!" ”

"yes!" Zheng Xian'er looked at the crowd below who kept throwing money with bright eyes, "The really rich men haven't made a move yet!" When the dust settles later, I'm afraid that there will be 100,000,000 millions of silver flowing into the sleeves of the two actors under our noses! ”

Shopkeeper Cheng echoed continuously: "Yes, yes, yes!" It's not easy for a drama to become famous, but after becoming famous, it's a living cash cow! ”

Zheng Xian'er admired again and again, and her face was flushed with excitement.

When the shopkeeper Cheng saw her appearance of falling into the eyes of the money, he had the heart to remind her, but he was busy and held back.

Love money is so wow! Loving money is better than loving that little white face who sings, right?

Could it be that the owner is spending these days in the theater garden, all to figure out how to make money?

Thinking of this possibility, Shopkeeper Cheng immediately felt that the clouds were open and the moon was rising, and the whole world was lit up.

There was a lot of noise outside for a long time, and the sound of silk and bamboo finally sounded softly again. The dressed "Xi Shi" returned to the stage surrounded by everyone and bowed down for a curtain call.

This time, no one threw money at people's faces again, because the "rich guys" finally got into action.

One hundred taels, three hundred taels, one thousand taels...... The number of silver prizes continued to increase, and in almost every box there were people poking their heads out and loudly announcing the name of their master and the amount of silver, fighting for more face than the race for their preferred side.

The two "Xi Shi" each bowed and saluted on their own stage, as if no one expected such a grand occasion.

Of course, whether they really didn't expect it or pretended not to expect it, then only they know.

The number of silver prizes continued to rise, at first it was a few hundred taels of two hundreds, and then the two sides became more energetic, and several more than a thousand appeared, and then the scene became more lively.

You know, tonight's theater garden is full, and it's not just for everyone once. Zheng Xian'er noticed that there were several boxes where they shouted "reward" many times in a row, and the total number had already exceeded 10,000!

In order to support a play, he threw more than 10,000 dollars overnight?

The people of Beijing are rich, rich wow!

Zheng Xian'er was so excited that she stomped her feet on the window frame, almost jumping up.

Of course, she couldn't jump.

Xiaozhi pressed her shoulder stiffly: "Grandma, grandma!" Settle down! If it's just you, I don't care if you jump out of this window, but now you still have children! You're still jumping and jumping when the month is so old, aren't you afraid to give birth to a monkey? ”

"You're annoyed!" Zheng Xian'er unceremoniously shook off Xiaozhi's hand, "Can you jump, don't I count it in my own heart?" It's rare for me to be happy, but you don't want me to be happy! ”

"Grandma," Xiaozhi was helpless, "all that money belongs to other people, and it can't get into our pockets, what are you happy about?" ”

Zheng Xian'er snorted heavily: "I'm happy when I see money, can you manage it!" Twig, you're too narrow-minded! Money is a good thing, and it's nice to hold it and look at it! In the same way, beautiful men are good things, and they are happy to hug and look at them......"

Finished! Shopkeeper Cheng wailed in his heart.

I've been reading the money for a long time, and I haven't forgotten the stubble of the beautiful man? So, is she really interested in those two little white faces who sing the horns?

The more Cheng shopkeeper thought about it, the more worried he became, and he couldn't help but look at the box opposite.

Do you want to think of a way to inform Lou Wugongzi......

Just thinking like this, I suddenly saw a figure appear in front of the window of the box on the opposite side, which had not movedβ€”it was the noble lady with bright eyes and bright teeth and gorgeous clothes.

Or, rather, golden branches.

This golden branch is obviously unwilling to follow the rules. Everyone was a domestic servant shouting for the master, but she stood up in person, waved her handkerchief and shouted: "Xinke Zhuangyuanlang rewards the new moon class with 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

The clear and bright female voice overpowered the noise of the little guys, and resounded throughout the entire theater garden.

"What the hell?!" Zheng Xian'er patted the windowsill and shouted.

The figure of Lou Que appeared in front of the window opposite, as if he was a little angry, grabbed the woman's arm and pulled it back.

Shopkeeper Cheng and the guys were so frightened that they sweated down.

People are golden branches and jade leaves, how can they move their hands and feet casually?

Here, Zheng Xian'er's face has begun to turn blue.

The woman over there didn't get angry at Lou Que, but grabbed his arm and dragged him to the window, waving a handkerchief and shouting again: "Hey-the new champion Lou Tongjie will reward the crescent class with 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

One "reward" and one "re-reward" add up to 20,000 taels.

Whether it is the female voice shouting or the identity of the rewarder, it is enough to cause a commotion in this peony garden, not to mention that it is still a big deal of 20,000 taels?

There was silence in the theater for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

Isn't it said that the new champion doesn't like to be entertained, and rarely even participates in banquets? Why did he not only enter the opera garden today, but also spend 20,000 silver to help a Danjiao?

Could it be thatβ€”

Those who are willing to go to the theater garden and play the corner are idlers, and when they talk about new things, their enthusiasm is not weaker than when they smashed the silver just now.

Zheng Xian'er doesn't care what others are talking about. She just stared at the window opposite, at the man and woman tugging and pulling.

Well, it's no wonder that I haven't even written a letter to her for several months in Beijing, it turns out that I have climbed a high branch in the capital a long time ago!

In order to make that woman happy, it was 20,000 taels as soon as she made a shot, right?

"Wow!" Zheng Xian'er sneered and threw out the tea bowl she had been holding.

The tea bowl fell into the lotus pond and stirred up a big splash.

There are some sharp-eyed people who have already found this direction along the arc of the tea bowl falling.

Zheng Xian'er cleared her throat and said loudly: "Zheng Tongjun, the master of the Decoration Pavilion, rewarded Luo Xiaoying of the Xingqing Ban with 50,000 taels of silver!" ”

Her voice is also bright and bright, but it is a little more refreshing and neat than Princess Qingning, and it smells like broken ice on a silver plate, and there is an indescribable crispness.

As soon as the words fell, the whole garden exploded with a "boom".

There are many rich people in the capital, and there are many losers who spend a lot of money, but so far, I have never heard of anyone who rewards 50,000 taels for a single shot in order to hold a play.

Especially a nobody who has never heard of it.

What does the Pavilion do? I've never heard of it!

As soon as you make a move, it's 50,000 taels, and it's definitely not a small deal, but it's ...... There are famous shops in the capital, but I have never heard of a place called "Decoration Pavilion"!

Not only were the people listening to the play confused, but even Luo Xiaoying, who was hit on the head by 50,000 taels of silver, was also confused.

Those who do this line of work know that even if the city is full of fans, there are only a few who are really willing to spend a lot of money, and they are real parents of food and clothing, who want to be the Buddha.

I've never heard of this one today!

It's 50,000 taels when you make a move, shouldn't it be a difficult master to serve?

Zheng Tongjun? Is it male or female? Is it old or young? Could it be the woman who shouted the words......

Luo Xiaoying couldn't help but follow the voice, and her eyes couldn't take her eyes off anymore.

The big fat class leader of the Xingqing class was even more happy, and his mouth grinned to the root of his ears.

No matter which corner this "Decoration Pavilion" came from, in short, it is a great thing for someone to give money, not to mention that this person dares to call out to the champion Lang - wait, to call the champion Lang?

The fat class owner was so frightened that he sat down in the chair with a "bang", patted his ass and jumped up: "Hurry up and check it out for me!" Find out what the origin of this surname Zheng is! Don't offend the champion in vain if you can't get the silver, we don't know how to die at that time! ”

The young man at the bottom ran out with a promise, and bounced back in an instant: "Class master, class master!" Passed! ”

"Bastard! Who passed?! "The fat class owner almost fell again.

The young man stammered: "Zhuangyuanlang...... The champion has passed! ”

"What's going on? Make it clear! The fat class master's face was completely white.

The young man pressed his chest hard, and it took a lot of effort to say clearly: "Zhuang Yuanlang personally ran to the box where the reward was 50,000 taels!" The little one only saw a back, a murderous ......"

"It's over!" The fat class owner threw his hands and collapsed to the ground like a cooked hot sweet potato.

At this time, Zheng Xian'er had just returned to the table, poured herself a bowl of tea, raised her neck and drank it all, and then threw the tea bowl to the ground with a "snap": "Reward again!" Why don't you reward it? If you want to curry favor with a golden branch and jade leaf, where is 20,000 taels of silver enough?! ”

"Xian'er!" The door to the box was slammed open from the outside.

Zheng Xian'er raised her head and showed a mocking smile: "Yo, Zhuangyuanlang is here?" Are we going to kneel down and kowtow? ”

"Xian'er, what are you doing?!" Lou Que walked over quickly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry for a while.

Before his hand reached over, Zheng Xian'er took two steps around the table and reopened the distance.

Across a table, confront him.

Lou Que soon realized that the other party was avoiding him.

This shouldn't be!

Shouldn't she rush over and crash into his arms after a long absence?

No, she was pregnant with a child, she couldn't run, she couldn't bump into ......

Lou Que's gaze moved away from Zheng Xian'er's mocking face and fell on her stomach.

It's been about five months, and although she is dressed loosely, she can still immediately see a bulge in her abdomen, and her pregnancy is already obvious.

Lou Que's ecstasy and anger disappeared at the same time, his eyes were slightly sour, and his heart was so soft that he was a mess.

"Xian'er, what are you doing?" He asked again.

Zheng Xian'er pursed her lips and smiled, and pouted at the window: "Can't you see?" I'm playing that show! ”

Lou Que's gaze returned to her face, and she couldn't help but be a little angry again: "If you hold a play, it's 50,000 taels when you make a shot?" How much money do you have in total? ”

Zheng Xian'er stood firm on the table, and said casually: "That's my business, I'm willing to spend my money to support him, what do you have to do with it?" I didn't spend your money again! ”

"What are you holding him for?" Lou Que was in a hurry.

Zheng Xian'er covered her mouth and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes crooked: "What am I doing with him, can't you guess?" ”

Lou Que looked at her and shook his head slowly: "I can't guess." ”

Zheng Xian'er raised her legs and sat on the table, still smiling: "Do you think only men will buy laughter?" Luo Xiaoying is good-looking, and it is worth my money for him. You're right? ”

Lou Que gritted his teeth and paused word by word: "He's not good-looking." The name is like a woman, and she looks like a woman. ”

Zheng Xian'er laughed: "That's not right. You see him on stage. He doesn't look like a woman when he takes off his makeup. He's good-looking, more like a man than you. ”

"You've seen it?" Lou Que asked.

Zheng Xian'er nodded with a smile: "I've seen it." ”

Lou Que gritted his teeth, his face was already blue: "He is good-looking, what about me?" You mean I don't look like a man? ”

"You," Zheng Xian'er stood up with a smile, "I'm tired of it." ”

"Tired of it? Who would let you get tired of it?! Lou Que rushed over.

Before Zheng Xian'er could figure out what was going on, her arm had been grabbed by Lou Que tightly.

Lou Que dragged back hard and pressed Zheng Xian'er on his chest: "You are pregnant with my child, throwing money outside to support other men, and you dare to say to your face that you are tired of me?" Who gave you the guts? ”

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Xian'er suddenly raised her leg and slammed her knee into a fatal place with her knee.

This is not the first time.

Lou Que, who had such experience, quickly dodged away, and his anger burned again: "Bastard, are you really here?" ”

Zheng Xian'er was pushed out by him, and she staggered two steps before she stood firm.

Lou Que was startled, and suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart: "Xian'er! ”

Zheng Xian'er looked at him with a cold expression, as if she was looking at a stranger who made her unhappy.

"Xian'er, I didn't mean to ......" Lou Que panicked.

"It's okay," Zheng Xian'er let out a chuckle, "I understand." ”

"What do you understand?" Lou Que was anxious and angry, and stomped his feet again and again.

Do you understand? That's weird! He didn't understand anything, how could she understand!

Zheng Xian'er took two steps around, still insisting on speaking across the table: "I understand that now you are the champion, and you are different from before!" ”

Lou Que was about to refute, but Zheng Xian'er had already smiled, and glared angrily: "Lou Tongjie, you are different from before, that's your own business, I won't change!" Do you think that if you win the champion and enter the court, I will be rubbed and flattened by you? My life, who I am, is yours? I'm not qualified to hate you? I'm telling you, you're wrong! My life was given by my mother, and my courage was brought from the womb, not by you! This child in my belly, I said it was yours and he was yours, and I said it had nothing to do with you, so it had nothing to do with you! If you think you can leash me with him, you're dreaming! Am I pregnant with your child? Sorry, you're probably mistaken, I'm pregnant with my own child! ”

"Owner, you dissipate your anger......" Shopkeeper Cheng was timid, and cautiously persuaded on the side.

Lou Que stood for a long time, and finally found his voice easily: "Xian'er, you misunderstood me." ”

"Really?" Zheng Xian'er sneered.

Lou Que wanted to come over, but seeing that Zheng Xian'er was still circling around the table, he had to stand still: "What I said just now was wrong because I was in a hurry." Xian'er, you've never been 'mine', I know you're different! But you should also know that I am ...... with others It's not the same! ”

Zheng Xian'er stared at him for a long time: "In the past, I did think that you were different from others, but now- I suspect that I was wrong before!" ”
