(I came back very late today, so there is only one watch, and there will be three changes on Sunday.) ）

The night has just fallen, here can not wait to put up the lights, the dense flow of people can almost be described as shoulder to shoulder, as the first of the twelve pear gardens in the capital, the big opera garden of Guanghelou is almost full, although the ticket price list of the door has risen and risen, it is still in short supply.

On the main stage of this theater, countless celebrities performed on stage, some sang red, and many sang black, the famous singers of the four major Hui classes have acted here, which naturally attracted a crowd of people, and the larger stage made these people without exception eagerly sought after by people, and at the same time, in this way, the influence of Peking Opera was extended to a broader place.

Peking Opera seems to have spread throughout the capital at a terrifying speed from the beginning of its birth, from the princes and ministers to the common people, almost everyone was fascinated by the nascent Peking Opera day and night, and within twenty or thirty years, it became a well-known popular pastime.

And among these people, including this Belle Lord Zaitao, Zaitao's love for Peking Opera can no longer be described as obsessive, according to his own words, if he was not born in the emperor's family, he will definitely be half a pear orchard in the future, he not only watches the play, but also learns the play, long and short proofing is proficient, since he came back from studying in Germany, Zaitao worshipped the Peking Opera master Zhang Qilin as a teacher, and the famous actor Yang Xiaolou in the capital is the same brother, what is even more surprising is that Zaitao's drama is by no means a fist embroidered legs, The later northern monkey king Li Wanchun also learned monkey drama in him for three years, and under his influence, there were hundreds of people up and down the Baylor Mansion, and no one could not play a sentence or two of singing.

Sitting in the first-class box on the second floor of Guanghe Building, Zaitao looked at the window with excitement on his face, his eyes swept around the hall on the first floor, it was still early for today's performance to start, and the audience below was impatient and restless, more than 900 people shouted together, and the deafening sound made him feel like he was close to the boiling point.

"Why hasn't Liangbi come yet?"

It wasn't long in time, Yu Lang pondered a little in his heart, and then said with some doubts.

"I've already called Xiao Quanzi." Zaitao is not in a hurry, except for the next performance, he can't take care of anything else.

"I don't know if Liangbi is used to Peking opera, I heard that he has been very busy since the preparation of the Praetorian Guard, and I am afraid that these opera gardens have never been here." Yu Lang said to himself, since the first time he met, Ye Kai seemed to have an impression that was incompatible with this kind of leisure field.

"This Peking Opera, he must like it." In this regard, Zaitao smiled slightly, and then said confidently: "People who have seen it have not said that they don't like it!" ”

Different from the ease and comfort of the two, on the other side, Ye Kai was in trouble, the carriage could only be parked far away on the periphery of Guanghe Building, the crowd in front of him was already unable to squeeze in, the noisy sound, the huge flow of people, people did not think that this was the night before the collapse of the empire, the singing and dancing of the upper class was leveled down, and they begged for peace, in a sense, it was reflected in these busy cities.

Since he was invited to listen to the play, Ye Kai didn't need to call Han Chun'er over, he also passed with a relaxed attitude, but the moment he landed, he deeply regretted the decision just now, and the crowd like a wall in front of him really didn't know how to squeeze over.

"Good master, please come here." Just when Ye Kai was at a loss, Xiao Quanzi reminded in time: "Let's go in from here." ”

Ye Kai followed Xiao Quanzi and always followed the latter along the way, otherwise, Ye Kai, who rarely went in and out of these places, was very likely to get lost halfway.

"Good master, we're here." Xiao Quanzi stopped at a small door, then turned around and gave Ye Kai the way, "This is a side door." ”

Ye Kai nodded, there must be a few people with status who can enter, and quietly followed Xiao Quanzi into the theater, it took less than ten minutes before and after, at this time, he fully realized the benefits of the privileged class.

Walking into this big theater, he was wrapped in a deafening noise at the first moment, to be honest, this was the first time Ye Kai had come to such a high-level theater venue, staring at the dark and oppressive group of audiences in front of him, he really had a feeling of spiritual shock.

In the hall on the first floor, the seats are interspersed with children selling all kinds of cigarettes, as well as running guys who bring tea and water, and even in some seats, there are men with special occupations who sit down, their names are called Rabbit Lord, due to the influence of the special atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty, these handsome men dressed in white flour are almost common in major informal occasions.

"Good master, our room is on the second floor, and the slave will show you the way."

Ye Kai followed Xiao Quanzi up to the second floor, then paused outside a box, and after pushing the door in, he happened to see the faces of Zaitao and Yulang.

"Liangbi, please say hello to Tao Belle and Lang Belle."

As soon as Ye Kai's words popped out of his mouth, he was blocked back by Yu Lang with a smile, "Chen, let's watch the play today, we don't need to be so polite." ”

Zaitao also turned around, nodded at Ye Kai, and said with a smile: "The Praetorian Guards will start training in a few days, and it is rare for us to have time to come to this drama garden, and take advantage of this day to take a good look at the show." ”

"I heard that Tao Belle is a must to listen to and watch plays, and today Liangbi also has a good experience." Ye Kai replied with a smile.

After some compliments, Ye Kai sat on the chair, looked for a wide field of vision towards the window, and waited for the performance of the show with satisfaction, Beijing was the **** place of Peking Opera at the end of the Qing Dynasty, although he didn't know anything about Peking Opera, but thinking of being able to see the performances of these famous actors in the first person, he also had some faint expectations in his heart.

"Taubel, why can't this play be opened? The voices of the people below were about to shout. After waiting for a long time, I just didn't see anyone coming in on both sides of the stage, and Ye Kai, who was not very clear, turned around and asked.

"Don't worry, Chenchen, there are still people who haven't come, this play can't be started."

Zaitao's words made Ye Kai suspicious, someone didn't come? Who can have such a big spectrum? Confused by this, he immediately laughed and quipped: "Who can make Lord Belle wait so dryly?" ”

At the same moment when Ye Kai had just exited, the door of the box opened, and then a shrill voice came in from the door.

"Yo, the two Bellors are here!"

Ye Kai looked at the place where this voice came from, and saw that the person who came was wearing a casual clothes, with a melon skin hat with a jade kowtow on his head, and a pair of small round sunglasses covering half of his face, other than that, everything seemed to be unremarkable, however, when he heard the answer of Zai Tao Yulang, his heart was suddenly not calm.

"Father-in-law, we've all been here for a long time, but you, the master, have been delayed in coming, is this play starting or not starting?"

Ye Kai's eyes widened, Father-in-law De? Little De Zhang? This is Xiao Dezhang, the great eunuch in front of him?

The initial surprise flashed, he calmed down, and a smile slowly appeared in his heart, it seemed that this good show had just begun.
