Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Sound of Beauty

On the stage, the woman wearing a cheongsam standing in the middle of the stage sang softly, and there was warm applause from time to time.

This is the Cantonese Grand Theatre, in addition to Cantonese opera, Peking opera, the Grand Theatre has also launched a "civilized opera" based on singing and dancing, which is quite popular among the public, the ticket price is the end of all operas, and the ordinary seats are a dime of silver, becoming the new favorite of the middle class in Guangzhou who are keen to reflect the new life.

In the box, Ye Zhaozheng was lying bored, his legs on the coffee table, and his eyes closed.

Beside her, there is a snow-skinned and blue-eyed girl with a surname feeling, a low-cut white gauze skirt, and a deep cleavage that seems to be tightly squeezed, which makes people can't help but think of how amazingly huge the ** wrapped in white gauze is, and under the beautiful skirt like layers of flowers, half of the white and snowy legs are exposed, and the milky white Russian court shoes are exquisite and luxurious, and they are even more wonderful.

Rong'er went to Guanyin Mountain to accompany her sister to live for more than ten years, and Jiner's grandmother went to Hengzhou, Hunan.

Lying lazily at the moment, Ye Zhao is far from being as idle as he seems, there have been too many things recently.

When sending Rong'er to Guanyin Mountain, Lan Guiren vaguely revealed that he hoped that he would destroy the Fairness Party as soon as possible, and what did he say that the little brother was becoming more and more sensible day by day. In and out of the words, he is testing whether he has the sincerity to support the little brother to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and in the eyes of Lan Guiren, it is probably a good opportunity to destroy the Fairness Party, and then his prestige will be greatly boosted, and he will even enter Guangxi, clamp Yungui, and take this opportunity to openly break with the six kings. Otherwise, day by day, the six kings' control over the temple will become stronger and stronger, and if it goes on like this, after a few years, who will remember that Xianfengye's elder brother is orthodox?

Lan Guiren's worries are not unreasonable, but they are retreating from the north and south as he thinks.

Another thing is that the Zhu family dart car fell into Jiangxi, the telegram has been sent, and Bakeshi was assigned to go to Jiangzhong to investigate and understand, and he is not only worried about the safety of Old Man Zhu, but the atmosphere of the entire Guangdong military system.

The rectification is imperative, launch a rectification movement in the patrol battalion, encourage each other to expose bad deeds, and all the military braves who have been captured by the silver in the past will be left to dry, and those who are extremely guilty of the worst crimes will cut off a few heads, punish the former and save the people, and the rest will not be blamed in the past, that is, the soldiers will be shocked and let them know that although it is a troubled time, if it is still the same as before, it will not be far from being cut off from the head; And it can stabilize the morale of the army, the striking surface can be wider, and the sticks and sticks can be smashed down, but the severed head must be controlled.

This is even more important to publicize, the so-called lost and returned, Jesus's set is not not not useful, if you are beaten with a stick, your previous sins will be written off, and you will be a good person from now on, and it will be up to you in the future. Of course, repentance for another offense will not work, otherwise the Chinese surname will definitely be a joke, and if you commit it and change it, you will change it again.

If it is said that all the soldiers who have been burned and killed will be punished, it is absolutely impossible, how many people who have eaten military salaries in these years are soft-hearted? Especially Tuan Yong is in the territory of bandits, even if it is not a common phenomenon to kill people and set fires, it is common to rob places, if you really turn over old accounts, this patrol battalion is afraid that there are not many really clean soldiers, so ah, you can only look forward.

In fact, the affairs of the army should not be too serious, during the civil war, each other was taken prisoners, but many of the prisoners who had shot their own soldiers were there, and there were also many soldiers who had done things that hurt the other party's eyes, such as killing each other's party and group families, how to calculate this account?

The army is always a killing machine, it's just that military discipline, ideology, etc. depends on how you indoctrinate it, whether it is ancient or modern, bandits and bullies like soldiers and ruffians can also become famous generals in history, Ye Zhao only hopes that this phenomenon can be avoided under his rule.

was pondering wildly, moving on his legs, a pair of small hands grasping and kneading, itchy and numb.

Ye Zhao opened his eyes, and Sava was smiling and pinching his legs.

Ye Zhao reluctantly put his legs down from the coffee table and said, "I was honest for a while!" ”

Sawa's long blue eyelashes, full of seductive seduction, blinked, and said, "Sweetheart, why don't you like to watch singing and dancing?" ”

Although it was blunt, it could finally be understood, and Ye Zhao smiled: "There's nothing you like or dislike." Talking to Sava deliberately slowed down so that she would not understand.

"I'm a better dancer than them." Sava didn't know what modesty was, and her blue eyes were full of pride.

"Oh?" Ye Zhaoqi said: "Ballet? ”

Sava nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Shawa's bony little feet and soft and charming court shoes with beaded flowers have an indescribable seductive charm, sweeping his eyes, Ye Zhao's heart jumped, and he said that he didn't know what kind of ballet Sawa tasted like.

"I'll jump to show you! Today! Sava said with great interest.

Ye Zhao smiled, "Another day." And he said, "Let's go, there's nothing to see." ”

Sava was obedient and tight, and she got up with Ye Zhao and asked, "Sweetheart, where are we going?" ”

Ye Zhao was also numb to her title, and said, "Just go around." ”

…… The Guangfu Grand Theater is surrounded by extremely prosperous people, and it has become the premier business and entertainment area in Xiguan.

"Diorama, diorama! Let's take a look, take a look! ”

"Glass beads, stained glass beads."

"Cigarettes! Old Ha cigarettes! ”

Out of the theater, it was still dark, and the pedestrians outside were bustling, and all kinds of vendors were shouting hard.

Ye Zhao took Shawa to look at the diorama for a while, which made Shawa make a fuss and screamed repeatedly. The so-called diorama is just some specially processed photographs moving in sequence in the camera obscura, and there are high-end ones, which look like human and animal activities, and the closest thing to the cinematic effect when the movie is not present.

"Sir, madam, look good." The vendor guarding the diorama smiled, full of flattery, and was surprised, this is the first time I have seen Mr. Mrs. Yang, this Mrs. Yang's pair, the mother is too big, and it doesn't make people go to heaven to the touch?

Shrinking back from the black cloth covered with a camera obscura, Sava exclaimed, "That lion, running in there." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Yes, yes!" He tossed the vendor a few copper coins and dragged Sava south.

I bought a few clothes for Sava in the clothing store, including skirts and cheongsam uniforms, and chose a crystal bead hairpin for Sava in the jewelry store, which made Sava grunt happily.

Ye Zhao was a little funny, the jewelry in this jewelry store seems to be precious and dazzling, but in fact it is just to satisfy the rising citizen class, no one who is really rich will come here to buy jewelry, Rong'er has a jade bracelet, I am afraid that it can top the entire store.

Of course, the jewelry that Ye Zhao chose for Sava was considered a high-end item in this store, and it cost twenty silver dollars, which caused the neat waitress in the store to look sideways, and the female companions among the guests were also envious.

Out of the jewelry store, Sava took the big bag in her hand. got into the rickshaw with Shawa, Ye Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, how did he feel like the old lady in the old society?

And when the rickshaw ran across the Fusheng Bridge and looked at a small palace-like building under maintenance on the west side, the words "Auspicious Ballroom" on the colorful signboard, Ye Zhao felt even more.

The interior of the Lucky Ballroom is not yet open, but the training of dancers has already begun, and I heard that a Parisian dance teacher has been hired to teach waltzes, polka dances, and so on.

Although the first dance hall in Guangzhou and even East Asia appeared a hundred years later than the real civilian dance hall in Paris, it is more oriental in terms of its declared business content.

For this dance hall, Ye Zhao naturally cared about it, and read its application materials, wine, dance, wine, music, etc. are all within its business scope, in Ye Zhao's opinion, it is already the prototype of a nightclub, an oriental businessman, once you take off the golden hoop that imprisons his thinking and actions, it is really dare to think and do anything, and it is not inferior to the nightclub in Paris that is in its embryonic form.

The lights are bright, Ye Zhao glanced at the modern girl sign that flew quickly past him, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried for a while, looking at the gradually extravagant Guangzhou City, Ye Zhao's chest was a little stuffy, perhaps, he had to think about the gap between the rich and the poor early, and he could no longer just be satisfied with giving the majority of the poor people a mouthful of tea and rice.

Nowadays, although we can only rely on the bright lights of Guangzhou City to promote the development of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, we must seriously ponder these problems in agriculture, agricultural products, and landless tenant farmers.

"Sir, ma'am, here we are!" The rickshaw stopped in front of the Sava Coffee House.

As soon as Ye Zhao got out of the car, a man in a green robe quickly caught up and delivered a telegram to Ye Zhao.

"There you go!" Ye Zhao shook his hand at Shava, originally wanted to say something to Shava, the more Shawa spoke Chinese, the better, so he pondered to find her an errand to do, but seeing that it was an urgent message, he had to give up, and talk about it later.

In front of the colorful sign, Sava smiled sweetly and turned into the coffee house.

Ye Zhao tore open the fire paint seal and pulled out the telegram paper, which was sent by Du Wenquan, the governor of Jiangxi, and said that the dart head of the Shengyong Dart Bureau had been found, a total of forty-three people, who were detained in the patrol village at the entrance of the small market, and more than 100 soldiers stationed in the village were stationed below the thousand generals, carrying knives, guns and equipment, all of whom fled, including eight foreign guns.

It was found out that it was the person surnamed Liu who was the chief of the sentry Qianqian who saw the intention of making money, so he seized the dart car, and the incident was defeated, and the people bravely divided the dart silver and fled.

Hundreds of soldiers ran away for the silver like this, and they must have taken the lion's share in a thousand categories, and the rest of the soldiers could each get a few dozen taels, how funny is it? In the past three or five years, there is more than this amount of silver, so why bother to die because of a small profit?

In the final analysis, it is because they are born in the regiment and they don't understand that this errand can be done forever, and although the local army, although the salary is far inferior to that of the infantry regiment, the danger factor is much smaller, and it is not as if they were desperate with their heads before. Tuan Yong joined the army, he was just a mixed meal, but now he sees the silver in vain, coupled with the encouragement of Shangguan, it is normal for them to take the silver and leave.

It is necessary to arrest and kill one to make an example, and it is even more necessary to solve the problem from the ideological roots. Ye Zhao thought silently.
