Zhang Shiliang hurriedly said goodbye, and Lin Yuan said: "Let's talk about the recruitment when I come back." ”

There were people from the Ronglu family waiting at the door, and Lin Yuan followed him, but Lin Yuan felt strange, because they had already passed by several big restaurants, and the subordinate didn't mean to stop at all, and finally, the subordinate took Lin Yuan to stop outside a theater.

The subordinate said respectfully: "Lord Lin, it's here." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say dinner?" Why did you change it to listening to a theater? ”

The servant smiled: "The dinner is just a name, and you don't necessarily have to eat." ”

Lin Yuan thought helplessly: "It looks like I'm going to starve tonight." As soon as the carved door opened, I saw Sun Yuwen and Rong Lu leaning side by side on the two reclining chairs, chatting with melon seeds, and the two young girls on the side gently shook their fans.

Lin Yuan wondered for a while, and thought: "Sun Yuwen has brought down Rong Lu's cash cow, why is Rong Lu still listening to the drama with him, and talking and laughing." ”

Lin Yuan didn't know what he said: Although Long Wu is Rong Lu's cash cow, but the tree is a tree after all, and if it falls, it will fall, and after Lin Yuan said that there is a backer in the Long Wu Dynasty, Rong Lu was scared half to death, Long Wu has given him a lot of good things, he is afraid that if Lin Yuan and Sun Yuwen find out these things, Emperor Guangxu who is angry will be angry with him, but who knows that Lu Dao Lin Yuan and Sun Yuwen did not investigate the matter of Long Wu, so Rong Lu has a lot of good feelings towards the two of them.

And Sun Yuwen also wanted to take the opportunity to win over Rong Lu, so the two hit it off.

As soon as Lin Yuan came in, the two of them did not get up to greet them, but straightened up and beckoned Lin Yuan to sit down on a recliner on the side, judging from the looks of Sun Yuwen and Rong Lu, they were no longer as polite as before, it seemed that these two people had regarded themselves as confidants.

Lin Yuan sat down and asked, "What are we going to listen to?" ”

didn't wait for the two people to answer, only to hear the stage below, the sound of Jinghu and the board sounded, and then the cheers sounded like thunder, it turned out to be a Xiao Dan walked out of the backstage, Xiao Dan is one of the Peking Opera companies, playing a young woman, the actors in the Peking Opera are very particular about their appearance, after going on stage, they take two steps, pull a frame, and then start singing.

Just a few simple actions, enough for fans to see the doorway, if it is a good corner, a few actions as soon as they come out is full of color, if the kung fu is not enough, the boos are all trivial, there are that arrogant and unreasonable fans will stand up, put the teapot to the ground "snap" to the ground, everyone will be like a command, snacks, plates, tea bowls, snowflakes thrown on the stage.

As soon as the cheering stopped, the actor opened his mouth, his voice was bright, and it was a full house, and then everyone quieted down to listen to the play, the first word that Xiao Dan opened his mouth sang for a long time, and in the ears of the fans, the singing of this word is naturally a thousand turns and fun, but Lin Yuan doesn't understand the play, so it sounds like a torture.

It's not just that Lin Yuan doesn't understand opera, for many modern people, most of the singing segments of Peking Opera seem too slow and not to their taste, Lin Yuan glanced at Sun Yuwen and Rong Lu, and saw that the two of them had their eyes closed, shaking their heads with the music, their hands and feet beating with the music, humming in their mouths, obviously to the point of forgetfulness.

Lin Yuan felt a "grunt" in his stomach, he hadn't eaten at night, he glanced at the dim sum plate in the middle, the golden pea cake and the jade white lotus seed cake were beckoning to him, Lin Yuan thought, "I'll eat it anyway." ”

So Lin Yuan put the plate in front of him, stuffed pieces of pastries into his mouth, and saw that the two girls on the side covered their mouths and laughed, and when the stage was finished, Rong Lu and Sun Yuwen opened their eyes, and when they saw that the plate on the table was empty, Rong Lu slapped his thigh and said, "I said Brother Lin, why did you eat everything?" After saying that, he turned around and called a small servant and ordered, "Let someone bring another plate." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What?" Can't you eat this thing? ”

Sun Yuwen said with a smile: "This thing is placed there to see, if you eat it, it will seem to have no identity." ”

Lin Yuan said "oh", and Rong Lu smiled: "Such a good play, Shiro visits his mother, look at the appearance, figure, and singing voice of that Princess Tiejing, you still have the heart to eat." ”

Lin Yuan's heart turned for a moment and asked, "Lord Ronglu knows how to play?" ”

Rong Lu waved his hand and said, "What is your name, in the future, you and I will be called brothers." ”

Sun Yuwen spoke on the side: "Brother Lin, you don't know how many years Brother Ronglu has been listening to the opera, not only listening, but also singing, ordinary corners can't catch up with him." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and wrote down what Rong Lu likes to listen to, at this time there was an old student on the stage, Rong Lu glanced down with his eyes, and said, "This corner has nothing to listen to, let's talk for a while." After that, he called a little guy and shouted: "You go and tell the head of the troupe, let this old student sing a little bit, don't spoil our chat!" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This Rong Lu is really a big deal!" At this time, Sun Yuwen smiled and said: "Okay, let's divide this dragon five things." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Divide things?" Divide what? ”

Rong Lu said with a smile: "This Long Wu has a lot of family properties, and there are a lot of properties under the name of Long Wu, now that Long Wu is dead, when Lord Sun registered these things in the register, with a turn of the pen, there were a lot of ownerless things, isn't it just a few points for us?" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It turns out that this is the real purpose of inviting me here today. So Lin Yuan asked, "I just don't know what these five dragons have?" ”

Sun Yuwen said with a smile: "Let's talk about this property first, two million taels of silver, let's erase one horizontal and become one million taels, and the rest, Brother Lin will take 400,000 taels, and then there are a lot of jewels, antiques, and jewelry, I went to see them, they are all vulgar things, and they are handed over to the treasury, is this antique?" He is a scoundrel who knows what antiques, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he does not have these things at home, so these antiques belong to the three of us. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "These antiques are all cultural relics, and it stands to reason that I should take them down to protect them, but now is the time to use money." So Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Two elder brothers, the younger brother doesn't love those antiques on weekdays, but he loves the gold and silver that are swaying, so it's better for the two brothers to take my share." ”

Sun Yuwen and Rong Lu's eyes suddenly lit up, and they said, "Brother Lin has to think clearly, these antiques are priceless treasures in the market." ”

Rong Lu was afraid that Lin Yuan would regret it, so he hurriedly said: "That's it, Brother Sun and I will keep your share of the antiques, and the silver of the two of us will belong to you, what do you think?" ”

Lin Yuan was excited in his heart, and thought, "One million taels of silver in one night!" I hurriedly agreed.

Both sides felt that they had taken advantage of it and were very happy, and Sun Yuwen said: "After some thorough investigation, there are 28 tobacco houses and 32 brothels under this Long Wu. There are also some restaurants, bathhouses, etc., which have been confiscated, and I have set aside ten smoke houses and fifteen brothels, how can we divide these things? ”

Rong Lu waved his hand lightly and said, "I'm not interested in those things, so you don't need to count me." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Smoke house and brothel, if these two things are put in my hands, they will be of great use." So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Can you give them all to me?" ”

Sun Yuwen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course you can, Brother Lin will take it all." But in his heart, he was thinking: "What does Lin Yuan want a brothel and a smoke house for?" ”
