150, Caihu House
Xu Xiaole had already ridden the ink essence over, turned his head to look at the follow-up story, but saw that the father had already stopped, and seemed to be really considering his son's proposal.
Shi Jiqing also noticed the father and son, and said with a smile: "This son has a good business experience. He wanted to sell the cake with him, and he would definitely sell it out. ”
"How?"
Shi Jiqing said: "Those who don't have a table will not be able to squeeze in once they appear, won't they miss the afternoon play?" I'd rather buy some tea, some cookcakes and pastries, and eat them indiscriminately. ”
Xu Xiaole said: "It turns out that this white girl is so powerful!" ”
Xu Xiaole saw that so many people were obsessed with Bai Niu, and his curiosity was blazing, and he couldn't wait to go to Caihu Ju to see what kind of person Bai Niu was.
Shi Jiqing was not in a hurry, and told Xu Xiaole the allusion of Caihuju in a leisurely manner.
It turned out that it was originally the ancestral hall of the fox immortal, but later the government broke the obscenity, smashed the statues inside, and drove away those witches and gods. Originally, it was to be changed into a temple, but later it did not raise enough money, so it was simply changed into a big stage, which was specially used for the people of ten miles and eight towns to sing social opera.
Since some people came to sing operas, and naturally some people made a living from it, this stage was contracted and turned into a theater garden. Usually, when there is no opera troupe singing, I find musicians to sing lyrics and earn some tea money, and gradually it has a scale. The owner raised a few girls himself, specializing in singing and playing lyrics and playbooks, and the business became more and more prosperous.
Shi Jiqing said: "You don't know, it's big there, there are hundreds of tables!" ”
Xu Xiaole was also taken aback, thinking about the singing of the social drama in Xu Wang Temple, it was just a dozen tables.
He said, "Isn't there room for five or seven hundred people?" ”
Shi Jiqing laughed and said, "What's more." In addition to the table, there are also small chairs? And those who sit on the Maza stool? And those who are crammed into the back and stand and watch? This colorful lake dwelling, at most, it is said that more than 1,000 people are crowded at one time! ”
Xu Xiaole didn't believe it: "More than 1,000 people! What a big place this is! ”
Shi Jiqing said proudly: "You'll know when you go." ”
Xu Xiaole couldn't help but straighten his waist forward, and he really wanted to tell Mo Jing to go faster. However, he also knew that Shi An couldn't run fast, and he was already very tired from walking all the way, so he had to walk slowly with patience.
Shi Jiqing also saw Xu Xiaole's impatience, and joked: "Xiaole, let's listen to the lyrics, not to deliver the papers, why worry." ”
Xu Xiaole said: "Yes, you scholars must have booked the table, so there is really no need to rush." ”
Shi Jiqing heard the sour taste inside, and was very happy. He was quite ashamed of himself in front of Xu Xiaole before, but now he has saved some face.
The three of them arrived at Caihuju so slowly. Shi Jiqing is a frequent visitor here, and the guys already know him, so he took the reward and led the mule to the back **** material.
Xu Xiaole rushed to the door and was almost startled.
This is really a big theater that can put more than 100 tables!
The lower floor was already full of people, and only the first few tables in front of it were empty.
With Xu Xiaole's eyes, he could only see a sign made of red paper standing on the table, with words written on it, which should mean that someone had made a reservation.
Shi Jiqing came in and took Xu Xiaole's hand, and said, "Don't get separated, our position is ahead." ”
Xu Xiaole followed him as he looked up at the second floor.
It is said to be the second floor, but it is actually a circle of stands built along the wall, which is five steps wide and narrow, and can only be placed on one table at most.
It was also crowded with people, making Xu Xiaole very skeptical that the wood could hold up. He looked carefully, but there were all female dependents who came to see the lyrics, and there was no direct staircase leading to the ground floor, probably in order to avoid suspicion, there was another up and down passage elsewhere.
Xu Xiaole looked around, opened his eyes, and soon arrived at the front.
As Shi Jiqing said, the son of the squire in his classmates is really a rich and noble merry son, determined to drink the most mellow wine, watch the best plays, and enjoy the most beautiful scenery. This son-in-law used the name of the Suzhou prefect to set a table in the front row and the center, facing Bai Xiaoyu's seat on the stage.
Because the stage was more than six feet above the ground, and the tables were not very nice if they were placed too close, and the seats were empty and wasteful, so benches were placed in front of them for the people to sit on.
A table can do up to eight people, but Shi Jiqing's table is only five people-your prince can't allow two heads between himself and Bai Xiaoyu to cover his vision. In the same way, he did not allow anyone to sit next to him, but to take his own side, because the last thing he could stand was that others would touch him. Whenever anyone accidentally touched his clothes, he immediately turned his face.
Shi Jiqing asked for one of these four places for Xu Xiaole, and he really inherited a lot of favors.
Shi Jiqing took Xu Xiaole over, there were already two people sitting on the table, and the main seat was still empty.
He introduced in the center: One of the two classmates is called Meng Xiangsheng and the other is called the railway man, both of whom are aliases.
Shi Jiqing didn't tell Xu Xiaole their names, and they didn't mean to say it, obviously they didn't plan to accept Xu Xiaole into this small circle.
Shi Jiqing sat down and asked, "Hasn't Zhao Quchen come yet?" ”
That Meng Xiangsheng said: "Come early, talk to Bai Xiaoyu in the back." ”
Shi Jiqing smiled, looking like everyone understood.
Xu Xiaole was impatient and asked, "When will this bullet word start?" ”
Meng Xiangsheng glanced at Xu Xiaole and turned his head away, disdainful of talking to Xiaole.
The railroad man asked Shi Jiqing: "What kind of reputation does this little brother you brought?" ”
Xu Xiaole was very unhappy when he heard this, and immediately replied: "It depends on what kind of character you are." ”
The railway man was stunned, folded the fan in his hand, and gently knocked on the edge of the table: "The little brother has a sharp tongue, a little interesting, a little interesting." ”
Shi Jiqing smiled at Xu Xiaole and said: "This railway man is really like his own name, black and hard alone, his speech is very ugly, but his heart is okay, don't annoy him." ”
He said to the railway: "Don't look at Xiaole's young age, he has the posture of a national player." Do you know my uncle's illness, how many doctors have been hired in the family? They all said that they were not saved, and told us to prepare for the aftermath. As a result, Xiaole went down with a pair of medicines, and he was fine on the same day, and he was able to get out of bed the next day! You say, is it great? ”
Xu Xiaole listened to Shi Jiqing's words with many exaggerated elements, but he was very happy, and pretended to be open-minded: "Actually, it's nothing." ”
Meng Xiangsheng only turned his head to look at Xu Xiaole at this time, snorted, and said, "Jian Zhai, you are so angry, do you want to kill this little brother?" ”
Only then did Xu Xiaole know that Shi Jiqing called himself "Jian Zhai", and secretly said in his heart: Kill? I don't think he blows enough.
Shi Jiqing was not as polite to him as he was to the railway people, and he didn't play a round, and said: "Mengxiang, I just think I'm stupid, and I can't depict Xiaole's skills." If you are sick another day, ask him to heal you. ”
It sounds plain and ordinary, but there is some hostility that curses people's illnesses.
