At noon, Harvey finished writing "The Count of Monte Cristo" and was ready to enjoy a leisurely tea time, when Shirley, the only maid of the mansion, came to tell him that there was a visit.

Harvey was surprised when he saw the visitor, the person who came was not someone he knew, or should it be said that Harvey Adrian's friend, a young man Jared Evan who was also from an aristocratic family, he was wearing the latest style of black suit and high hat, and his handsome face was overjoyed when he saw Harvey: "Oh my God, I almost thought that you were caught by Lady Mary's husband and thrown into the river, do you know how long it has been since I have seen you?" ”

Lady Mary was the wife of a wealthy merchant, who was a well-known courtesan in the social world in the prime of life, but she married an old man half a century older than herself. She and Harvey Adrian are lovers, but if Jared doesn't mention the name, Harvey will almost forget that he still has a romantic experience.

Harvey didn't intend to inherit the complicated interpersonal relationships of his original body, and he didn't want to slack off when his nominal friend came to the door, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "This time is relatively busy, so it's inconvenient to participate in those social activities." ”

Harvey prefers to be alone rather than hypocritically social, and it would be perfect if he had a computer.

Jared was stunned for a moment, took off his black top hat and looked Harvey up and down, and said in a puzzled tone: "Harvey, I always feel that you have changed a lot, has something happened?" ”

The current Harvey is much better than the original owner's decadent and debauched appearance, and he is not sure if it is the relationship between the increase in intelligence of the attribute panel, his eyes and temperament have changed drastically, and the deep eyes make it difficult to guess what he is thinking.

- It's not just changed, it's a different person standing in front of you.

Harvey said silently in his heart, intending to fool this Harvey Adrian friend casually, but saw Jared take out two rolls from his pocket and said triumphantly: "Let's not talk about this, my dear friend, I got tickets for the Brenda Theater Troupe that is touring the country, this is a VIP seat that can only be bought for two hundred balun pounds, or is it the kind that has no price, are you interested in going to see it together?" ”

The Evan family is the owner of the largest opera house in the city of Elroy.

"Oh? Aren't you not interested in theater. Harvey asked rhetorically, as Jared was a member of the family that managed the opera house, and Harvey often heard complaints from him that the play or opera was too boring.

Jared shook his head, and said mysteriously: "Everything has accidents, not to mention that the performance of the Brenda Theater Troupe will not be so boring, I heard that there are even magicians in the theater troupe to serve them, even if the drama is very boring, I believe there are other reasons to watch this drama." Tomorrow is the day of the performance of the Brenda Theatre Company, do you know how many nobles are on the guest list, I think those gentle and beautiful ladies will not give up this opportunity to show their charms. ”

Harvey secretly said that theater is also part of today's cultural trend, and is sought after by young aristocrats, and even larger theater troupe performances can become a popular topic in the social world. Harvey and Jared hadn't missed an opportunity before, and they could see ladies dressed up in fancy clothes, and if they were lucky, they might even hook up with one or two.

He was a little interested in the performance, as he had few memories of the world theater, and the fact that the Brenda Theater Company was one of the most famous theater troupes in the country, and that it was known that it used magic props to assist in the performance, and it was said that there was a magician who served them.

Since he was invited by Jared and the ticket was free, Harvey agreed to visit the theatrical performances of this world.

After Jared handed Harvey a ticket, the two chatted for a while, and learned that Harvey was writing a novel, Jared was so surprised that he could stuff an egg in his mouth, and even said that he would go to see "The Count of Monte Cristo", in fact, he was the same type as Harvey Adrian who did not read.

······

The next night, Harvey put on a formal suit after a long absence, a black dress and a white shirt, and his hair was combed by Shirley.

Located on a lively street in the city of Elroy, the Avon Opera House is a huge Roman-style building, about three stories high, with a majestic and dignified appearance, from the downstairs you can see the spacious balcony on the second floor and the huge glass doors and windows, which are leisure places for VIPs, and more than a dozen life-size stone carvings can be seen in the eaves of the opera house.

Entering the interior of the opera house, the lights are bright, and the combination of dome cross arches, barrel arches and vaults gives people the illusion that the interior space is more complex and spacious, as if you have come to the land of giants, and you can still feel open inside the building.

Harvey was already overcrowded when he arrived, the road outside was only the sound of cars and horses, and the dressed ladies got out of the car with the help of gentlemen, and the jade hands in lace gloves played with a folding fan, and their eyes were competing to attract the attention of others. Harvey frowned, not used to such a lively scene, the air mixed with different perfume smells, sweet greasy, fragrant disgusting.

Covering his nose and squeezing in, he found his VIP seat according to the instructions of the staff, and when he pushed the door in, he saw Jared standing on the balcony and watching the lively crowd below, of course, his eyes were more on the half-exposed snow white of the ladies' chests. The interior of the VIP seats is luxuriously decorated, with the balcony facing the performance stage, and there are crimson roller blinds on the side of the balcony, if you don't want to watch the show, you can pull down the rope to cover the inside of the VIP seats.

As far as Harvey knew, many aristocrats liked to pull down these roller blinds during theatrical performances to do unknown things.

The lounge also has sofas, a table full of fruit and three binoculars that guests can use to watch a play if they need it. The actual telescope is basically a necessary prop for watching dramas in this era, and even the ordinary audience downstairs have most of them with telescopes, especially ladies dressed up, who hold the telescope stand in one hand, and their posture is more elegant and noble when watching the drama through the telescope.

At least that's what they think.

"Hey! Hey! Harvey, look at that, the one with the blonde hair and white dress, in the third row. She doesn't seem to have a male partner around her, and I shouldn't be here and do nothing. Jared beckoned Harvey over and looked at the crowd below, the man he was talking about was a plump woman, with a beautiful appearance and freckles on her face, but this was a plus in Jared's opinion.

Harvey responded: "It's not bad." ”

Jared thought about it for a while and turned his head and patted Harvey on the shoulder: "Harvey, I'll give you this VIP room, damn it, I shouldn't have invited you over, so that I can invite this beautiful girl to come to the VIP room to watch a play together, and she will definitely not refuse a gentleman's intimate comfort when she is moved." ”

Harvey couldn't help but laugh: "Well, I'll go and talk to the lady, there's a gentleman in the VIP room who invites her up, and I'll sit in her place." ”

"Harvey, my dearest friend, our friendship has always been so strong, it was, it is, and it will always be." With tears in his eyes, Jared wanted to pounce on Harvey and give Harvey a warm bear hug, but he avoided it without leaving a trace.
