Chapter 41: Watching the Theater

Xiguan Police Station, Inspector Wei Dingyi and Ye Zhao walked out of the courtyard while talking, but Ye Zhao was a little distracted, he was thinking about another thing, Da said that Achi had been sent to Zhaoqing after three days, although he was only imprisoned for three days, he suffered a lot, and he didn't know how Monk Lingqin would react to this.

Shengbao is not worried, but even if Seng Lingqin is in the Great Qing Kingdom, he is also a pivotal figure, what is he thinking now?

Outside the police station, next to the stone lion, under a green camphor tree, a carriage was parked, Wei Dingyi and Ye Zhao walked out of the police station, and the carriage was light and light A young lady in a red dress, the country is fragrant, swaying, the soul of the phoenix eyes seems to be smiling, and the pink face of the frost and snow is full of spring and anger, and the beauty is amazing, which makes people feel excited.

Passers-by looked sideways, such a young and beautiful lady, where can I usually see it, today it is really a feast for the eyes.

The glamorous lady shook her lightly, and she was a few steps away from Wei Dingyi and Ye Zhao, how could Wei Dingyi ever see such a beauty? His heart was pounding, he swallowed his saliva, his face was red, and he hurriedly turned his head, not daring to look again.

"Why are you here?" Ye Zhao was slightly surprised.

The lady pursed her lips and smiled, "Looking for you." ”

Wei Dingyi only then knew that people were looking for Ye Zhao, and his heart was beating wildly, and he was still thinking, if someone talks to him, don't stutter if he asks for directions or something, don't be ashamed.

"Inspector ......" Ye Zhao turned his head sideways and asked Wei Dingyi.

"You go, you go." Wei Ding said repeatedly, his eyes still didn't dare to look at the noblewoman.

It wasn't until Ye Zhao and the lady got on the car that Wei Dingyi's beating heart gradually calmed down, watching the carriage go away, Wei Dingyi said in his heart, this kid, I don't know if it's his sister or his wife, listening to the tone, most of them are Mrs., it's really a good blessing, Mrs. is so noble, this world is very good.

In the carriage, Grandma Jin Er whispered: "Master, Jin Feng didn't know what to call you just now." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "When you see me growing a beard, call me Ye Zhao." ”

Grandma Jin Er laughed, and hurriedly held back, that delicate and fearful romance was really itchy.

"What are you looking for me?" Ye Zhao asked puzzled.

Grandma Jiner's snow-white little hand had two more tickets, and said, "I, I want to go to a Western drama with my master." The soul hook phoenix's eyes were slightly expectant.

Ye Zhao smiled: "You are also fashionable." "I know that it must be a ticket for the Xiguan Grand Theater, the Xiguan Grand Theater was built by the British, in fact, it was owned by an overseas Chinese surnamed at the time, and it had just been completed, and it happened that a British song and dance troupe came to Hong Kong to perform, and was invited to the opening ceremony, and at the same time, British businessmen are also forming a local song and dance troupe, which is said to have taken shape, but the ballet male and female actors are to be recruited from the Europa continent.

"Okay, let's go see a Western drama!" Ye Zhao nodded in agreement, Rong'er went to Guanyin Mountain to relieve her sister's boredom these days, just boring.

Grandma Jin's pretty face couldn't hide her joy, "Master Xie." After a while, he cautiously asked, "Master, what is fashionable?" ”

Ye Zhao couldn't help but smile and pondered, "Modern, you understand, right?" Seeing that Jiner's grandmother was dazed, she immediately smiled: "Forget it, I always praise you." ”

"Oh." Grandma Jin Er was relieved.

…… The Xiguan Grand Theater is naturally in Xiguan, but it is a magnificent building, and under the gas street lamp, it looks like a milky white palace.

Xiguan, three days ago, there were gas street lights, and in Guangzhou, I am afraid it will take more than a month.

The theater is brightly lit, the red screen stage can accommodate 100 people, the stands are divided into two floors, there are more than 1,000 seats, Ye Zhao and Jin Er's grandmother sat in the VIP compartment on the second floor, wide and soft sofa chairs, coffee table, and red curtains on both sides can be pulled down.

The audience is sparse and sparsely entered, and Hong Kong and Cantonese people are happy to come, after all, in this land of China, it is extremely rare to be able to enjoy programs that meet their aesthetics. To Ye Zhao's surprise, there are not a few Chinese businessmen, and the ability of Chinese people to accept new things is unexpected.

The music sounded, the red curtain opened, a team of Western dancers jumped on the stage, and the song and dance performance began.

In the next day's "Cantonese Daily", the literati described the song and dance meeting as follows, "Watching the drama, the son is scattered at the right time, and the role is all ancient current affairs." The platform is large and can accommodate two or three hundred people. Mountains and rivers change in an instant. The clothes are bright and the light can be dazzling. The actresses took the stage, most of them were fifty or sixty people, half of them were beautiful, and they danced with their naked bodies. In the play, it can be a waterfall of mountains and rivers, the moon is glorious, and you can see the Buddha statue, or dozens of goddesses descend from the middle, and the auspicious light shoots people, which is wonderful and incredible. More than 1,000 spectators applauded. ”

Although the special effects of later films and television are amazing, Ye Zhao can witness the singing and dancing of the nineteenth century, but Ye Zhao watched it with relish.

Jin Er's grandmother is different, her pretty face is flushed, and she is really frightened by these shameless Western women, bare-chested and exposed, singing and dancing, and letting the men appreciate it, how is it different from prostitution?

I regretted that I came to watch the play with the master, and I could see the appearance of the master concentrating, and sighed softly in my heart, but it was exactly what he thought, he, he was happy.

Halfway through the play, it was a few small shows that made Jiner's grandmother giggle, and then I felt that Western programs also had their own interestingness.

At the end of the song and dance, there was warm applause in the hall, Ye Zhao also applauded lightly, and smiled at Jiner's grandmother: "This track is a bit interesting." ”

"If you like it, sir." Jin Er's grandmother also followed Ye Zhao's example, and slapped her snow-white little hand with Kodan a few times, which made Ye Zhao amused.

When the flow of people in the hall was sparse, Ye Zhao and Grandma Jin Er got out of the box, went downstairs along the red carpet stairs, and walked out of the performance hall.

"Miss Rong, Miss Rong!" Ye Zhao and Grandma Jiner were walking out, and suddenly there was a shout behind them, and a handsome young Chinese businessman in a tuxedo hurriedly chased after him, he had been guarding outside for a long time, just waiting for Grandma Jiner.

Grandma Jin Er looked back and saw that it was him, her pink face turned cold, and she bowed slightly: "Mr. Shi." ”

The handsome young businessman is the owner of this theater, the surname is Shi, the outside jokes are the big officials, the father became a comprador twenty or thirty years ago, started from the opium business, moved to Xinjiapo in his early years, is one of the most wealthy businessmen in the local area, in recent years, he saw the excellent scenery of Guangzhou, so he moved the idea of asking his son to return to Guangzhou for development.

But Mr. Shi had already changed his nationality, he was a citizen of the British Xinjiapo, and the official was also a banana man, born in Xinjiapo, received a Western-style education, and grew up with foreign children, and he was contemptuous of backward China from the heart.

Shi Daguan saw Grandma Jin'er at a party of foreign businessmen a month ago, and was immediately shocked, where can I see such a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city? After inquiring carefully, I learned that Grandma Jin Er had been divorced by her husband, and now she was the manager of Foshan Iron and Steel Company, and Grandma Jin Er was kept secret by the Xiu Tao family, and there were rumors outside, saying everything, some said that Grandma Jin Er partnered with outsiders and fraudulently gambled to plot the Tao family's family business; Some people also say that Jiner's grandmother was occupied by rich businessmen and magnates from the capital, in short, the gossip is flying all over the sky, which makes people confused.

Shi Daguan ignored these, his father was highly respected in Xinjiapo, even if the British governor of Xinjiapo had to be polite, he had to discuss with his father about anything, no matter what kind of rich businessman he was, could he afford to provoke himself?

Since Grandma Jin Er is single, it is wonderful, if she can marry as a concubine, isn't it beautiful? If it is not the main room but the family of the powerful, the two families are good and married, even if they divorce and marry Miss Rong as the main house, why not?

Grandma Jin Er is not only charming and charming and itchy, but the best thing is that she accepts new ideas and dares to show up to deal with men, but in her bones she is still that shyly classical woman, pay attention to three from the four virtues, from the beginning to the end, it makes people itch when you think about it, if you can surrender such a tempting stunner into the room, how much more fun can it be? It's more enjoyable than the gods!

When the official ** was smoking, all his thoughts were on the pursuit of Jiner's grandmother, the more indifferent Jiner's grandmother was to it, the more he was fascinated, and when he was messing with his mistress in Guangzhou, he was full of imagination that Jiner's grandmother was happy in front of him, and he was almost fascinated by lovesickness.

The former said that he sent someone to give Jin'er Grandma two tickets, although Jin'er Grandma accepted it, but let people send back two silver dollars, despite this, Shi Daguan was overjoyed, halfway through the song and dance performance, Shi Daguan did not go to the box to disturb, basic politeness still has to be there, but he waited in the hall early.

It's just that I didn't expect that Grandma Jin Er came with a man, and Shi Daguan was extremely depressed, but when he saw Ye Zhao's black patrol police uniform with a silver star, a trace of contempt flashed in Shi Daguan's eyes, it's just a small patrol, could it be Miss Rong's brother?

"Miss Rong, you must be thirsty, I invite you to coffee." Shi Daguan pointed to the café on the west side of the lobby, the first floor of this large theater is a supporting restaurant, and it is open to the public at the same time, in this era, it can be regarded as a vision.

"I'm not going!" Grandma Jin Er's face was cold, but Fang Xin's anger rose, since marrying Ye Zhao as a concubine, she hadn't moved her liver for a long time. But this surname is really disgusting, in front of the lord and himself is not clear, even if the lord doesn't care, but he still wants to face.

Shi Daguan didn't care about the coldness of Jin'er Grandma, and often thought in his heart, this is enough taste, when you and I go to Wushan together, look at how charming you look like this little stunner, that is the real revenge on the face you gave me today.

Saliva smiled: "Miss Rong, you have accepted the tickets, but you have given too much silver, I don't owe favors, I have to settle the accounts with you." ”

Grandma Jiner was so angry that she wanted to prick his stinky mouth with a needle, what she said, as if she had something to do with him, this, don't let him misunderstand. He secretly glanced at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao is very calm, now that beautiful women come out to do things, it is even more inevitable that they will attract wild bees and butterflies, but because of this, they can't learn from their predecessors and imprison them in the inner courtyard.

"Okay." Grandma Jin Er nodded, and now she can only make it clear in front of the master, so as not to suspect the master. Grandma Jin Er has been married, but she has not been able to start from the beginning, she is the most sensitive to this man and woman, she is afraid that Ye Zhao will look down on her and even think that she is not a serious woman, especially the last time she slept together, Ye Zhao forced her to do such a shameful thing, after thinking about it afterwards, she felt even more sentimental, I was afraid, I was afraid that he really regarded himself as a fox and a monkey, otherwise, how could he do such a frivolous act by himself?

But think about it again, as long as he likes it, don't you want to serve him happily?

But today, he must explain it clearly, so as not to make him feel guilty for no reason, and even lose the little favor he has for himself.

When the official saw that Jiner's grandmother agreed, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said repeatedly: "I will lead the way, I will lead the way." "I walked in front first, and I turned sideways and kept using the gesture of please, and I was very courteous.

Ye Zhao saw that Jin's second grandmother Feng's eyes were pleading, and he sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, Jin Feng, you are smart for a lifetime, but you are confused for a while, and you can't help but look at me as petty.

Nodding slightly, Ye Zhao walked away, and Grandma Jin Er followed, and the two guards who were mixed in the crowd also followed as if nothing had happened.

Shi Daguan led Jiner's grandmother and Ye Zhao into the café box, saying that it was a café, but in fact it also sold alcoholic drinks, the box was not large, exquisite and elegant, and there were Whist cards on the coffee table for the guests' pastime.

"Miss Yung, what are you drinking? I recommend Brazilian coffee beans to freshly ground and sold ......"

Grandma Jin Er waved her snow-white hand to interrupt him, and said: "Two tickets, I sent someone to give you two silver dollars, I just looked at the price list, five cents per person in the theater box, you pay me back one yuan, if it's okay in the future, please don't pester me again." ”

With today's etiquette, Grandma Jiner's words can be said to be extremely faceless to the senior official, but the senior official did not change his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Rong, please take a seat." ”

Ye Zhao had already sat down casually, leaning on the sofa and closing his eyes to recuperate, his mind was not here.

"Mr. Shi, don't you understand what I mean?" Grandma Jin Er frowned slightly.

When the big official saw that this little stunner didn't show mercy to himself like a knife, he was angry in his heart, and now he said that you are a little slut who is rampant, and I will see how to clean you up in the future!

smiled and said: "Understood, I understood, otherwise, let's make a little game......"

Before he finished speaking, Grandma Jiner interrupted him again: "Mr. Shi, don't you think you're bored with yourself?" ”

Ye Zhao snorted and laughed, indeed, he has been watching Shi Daguan play monkey play, and Jin Feng is too, there is no room for a word, this woman is pursued, isn't he happy in his heart? But listening to Jin Feng's words, you can know that this little woman is really angry.

Shi Daguan's face couldn't be hung up, he didn't attack Jin's second grandmother, and his cruel gaze stared at Ye Zhao: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Ye Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and smiled without squeaking.

Shi Daguan said disdainfully: "Little patrol, believe me or not, I will send you to prison?" He turned his head again, his face was cloudy, and he said to Grandma Jiner: "Miss Rong, you don't want to toast or eat and drink, do you know how many foreigner friends I have?" How many people look at me in Nanyang? As long as I say a word, the iron of your steel shop wants to enter Xinjiapo and enter the South Seas? There are no doors! ”

Grandma Jiner's pungent viciousness has always been afraid to be displayed in front of Ye Zhao, but now she was extremely angry, and suddenly smiled, like a peony in full bloom, shining brightly, "Then what do you want?" ”

Shi Daguan had a cold face, pointed to the playing cards on the coffee table, and said: "Make a small game, gamble, I lost, I will let you go today, if you lose!" Shi Daguan's eyes were hot, and he greedily looked up and down the seductive body of Jin'er Grandma, "If you lose, stay and drink coffee with me." The face was torn, and the gentlemanly demeanor of the senior official was gone.

Grandma Jin Er chuckled and said, "What does that mean?" Why not bet bigger? ”

Looking at the seductive and charming attitude of Grandma Jin Er's light smile, Shi Daguan's heart beat wildly, and for the first time he saw this little stunner's charming and enchanting, it really made people want to rush over immediately, and he couldn't help but be excited, and stammered and asked: "Then, what do you say to bet?" Voices trembled uncontrollably.

Jiner's grandmother said: "Just bet on my shares in the steel industry and your big theater, if you win, my shares in the steel company belong to you, and if you lose, your big theater belongs to me." ”

Shi Daguan was stunned, first of all, the bets were not equal, how could the shares of the steel plant be worth ten or eight theaters, and then one, isn't this little stunner crazy? What kind of property do you suddenly want to gamble on?

"What, do you dare?"

When the big official is arrogant, how can he be frightened by a little woman? He looked up and said, "Why don't you dare?" But you can lose on this bet. ”

Grandma Jin Er smiled diligently: "Who is going to suffer and who is uncertain!" ”

Shi Daguan couldn't bear it at this time, "Okay, I'll go get a pen and paper, let's write the bets, I won't take advantage of you, I will use the big theater to add 10,000 taels of silver to bet with you, if you lose, in addition to the shares of the steel bank, you have to stay with me tonight." As he spoke, he rushed out of the door, in his heart, this was just an exciting game, even if he lost, did this little stunner really dare to ask for such a large amount of property?

When the official came out of the box, although he saw two young men walking around, he didn't care, he asked for a pen and paper from the bar and went back to the box, and he and Jiner's grandmother wrote the bet.

Shi Daguan immediately picked up the playing card and said: "You and I draw one each, the big point wins, the king is the largest, the little king is second, K is thirteen points, Q is twelve points, and so on. ”

Grandma Jin Er's cheeks are lightly powdered.

"You come first." Shi Daguan pushed the playing cards in front of Jinji's grandmother.

Grandma Jin Er held a light red handkerchief and touched the cards, obviously because too many people had touched the playing cards, and she didn't want her skin to touch them. In the same way, she holds a pen with a champa when she writes.

Shi Daguan's heart is even hotter, this little stunner is so clean, if you touch it, it will definitely be fun.

Grandma Jinji seemed to hesitate, and Champa brushed lightly on the playing cards, but she didn't know which one to draw.

Shi Daguan smiled and said, "Miss Rong, do you want me to help you?" "Looking at the snow-white delicate little hands coated with Kodan, I really want to touch them.

Grandma Jinji finally slowly pulled out one and said, "You come!" ”

Shi Daguan was already sure that this deck of cards was missing a corner of a spade king, but the missing corner was very small, and it could not be seen if you didn't look carefully.

Shi Daguan pretended to touch the cards for a while, and then pulled out the K of spades, snapped, slapped it on the table, and made a surprised look, and then laughed: "Miss Rong, it seems that you are going to stay with me tonight......" Speaking of this, the fire in his heart rose even higher, and his greedy eyes were reluctant to move away from Grandma Jiner's delicate and fragrant body.

Grandma Jin Er slowly opened the cards in her hand and said, "You lost!" As he spoke, he gently put away the two bet sheets on the coffee table.

"Why did I lose?" Shi Daguan was still immersed in the fantasy of being able to go to ** with Grandma Jiner, he couldn't help talking, looked at the past, and then was stunned, what Grandma Jiner pulled out turned out to be the king.

"Master, let's go." Grandma Jin Er gently leaned into Ye Zhao's ear and said.

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded, got up and clapped his hands.

"Don't go! You, you deceive! Shi Daguan was stunned, and immediately jumped to the door to block Ye Zhao and Jiner's grandmother's way, and said viciously to Jiner's grandmother: "You little vixen, you really conspired with others to rob your husband's family business, and now you are bullying me again?" Dream! ”

Grandma Jin'er had no smile on her face, and said coldly: "Get out of the way!" ”

The door was gently pushed open, and two young men walked in outside, and Grandma Jin Er pointed at the senior official and said crisply: "Take it for me, a hundred palms!" ”

The two young men both looked at Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao smiled slightly, and said, "Two hundred." ”

Shi Daguan was still turning around and scolding: "Get out, who are you?" The two young men pressed him like a hungry tiger pounced on him, and he smacked his big mouth with "popping", where did the senior official ever be beaten? Immediately he was beaten and cried wolf.

Ye Zhao and Grandma Jin Er went out in a hurry, Shi Shiran went out of the lobby, and under the steps, there was a carriage waiting.

Boarding the carriage, Grandma Jin Er's anger also disappeared, thinking about her actions just now, she was shocked and scared, she didn't dare to look up at Ye Zhao, and whispered: "Master, Jin Feng, Jin Feng has no rules, please scold." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Why are there no rules, are you going to be bullied if you have me?" If you say, you are often running around outside, and your surname is stronger and stronger, it doesn't hurt. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and nodded at Grandma Jin'er's pretty face, "But you, cunning!" "Grandma Jin Er touched the cards with a champa, and there was a trick to the effect, and she secretly opened the cards to see, but the action was very light, and the officials couldn't notice it. And Ye Zhao sat behind her, naturally seeing it clearly.

Grandma Jin Er whispered: "I can't hide anything from my lord." ”

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "This is not false, your caution, your careful thinking, I don't know, Jin Feng, it is not easy for a woman to go out and make a living, if I can't trust you, who will believe you?" ”

Grandma Jin Er was stunned, raised her head in surprise, and her watery soul hooking phoenix eyes gradually covered with a layer of mist.

"Yes, it's not you who is crying!" Ye Zhao smiled, leaned on the soft couch, and said, "However, don't learn Ruisi's bad habits in the future, it's always not good to take advantage of it." ”

"Yes." Grandma Jin Er lowered her head and whispered again: "Then, do you want to return the big theater to him?" ”

Ye Zhao closed his eyes and said lightly: "You deal with it, you can do whatever you want to do if you win it back." ”

"Jin Feng knows." Grandma Jin Er thought for a while, and whispered: "I want to make it a good business, the master will open up the atmosphere of Guangzhou, and the big theater can help the master." ”

"It's up to you." Ye Zhao remained silent, but he was a little helpless in his heart, inexplicably the Ye family's industry has more theaters, will it become the leader of the entertainment industry in the future? In this world, it's really easy to make a fortune.
