"Master, who are you asking?"

Ruixi, who had already washed her face, interjected at this time and asked,

"Isn't that the guest who is especially good to Sister Mantang?"

"yes,"

Zong Jiyuan naturally turned his head and asked,

"Little Ruixi, do you know that person?"

"How do you know?"

Ruixi wiped the water off her face, and turned to everyone with a face that had restored her original innocence.

"He doesn't like me as a little bit, but he once asked me which is the largest opera garden in Liaodong County, and I thought he wanted to take me to the theater, so he told him that it was the 'Qingxiang Stage' where the Confucian opera troupe in the east of the city was stationed in Taiwan."

"Really?"

When Zong Jiyuan heard this, he immediately asked with great interest,

"And after that? What happened to the man after that? ”

"What else,"

Ruixi is still a child after all, and said in a complaining tone,

"Then he said, 'Oh, I see,' and turned around and walked away......"

Her innocent and lively demeanor and tone, which seemed to be cute and funny, provoked the other three people to laugh together.

When Ruixi saw it, she pursed her little mouth,

"Okay, you all laughed at me, I wouldn't have said it if I knew it!"

"No, we're not laughing at you,"

Zong Jiyuan hurriedly played the round,

"It's because Rui Xi you're so cute."

Speaking of this, it suddenly occurred to me that today I and Wang Yu happened to not ride a horse, but came in a carriage from the county government, not to mention that it was still early now, and my heart was moved,

"Since Ruixi likes to watch plays, why don't I invite you two girls to watch a show today?"

"Really?!"

Hearing her say this, Ruixi was so happy that her eyes were already full, but she soon looked at the full house again, and her voice became timid.

"Is it really possible?"

"What's not to do,"

Man Tanghong smiled lightly, stood up, walked to the hanger and took off the cotton clothes, and looked at Ruixi,

"Little girl, why are you still stunned, go back and wear more thick clothes."

"Hey! Got it! ”

Ruixi immediately ran out with the same steps as when she came in.

When the two girls were dressed warmly, the four of them went downstairs together, and when they met Zheng's mother, with a soft greeting of "I'll take the two girls out for a walk", I saw Zong Jiyuan raise his hand, a piece of silver with more than ten taels, and put it in her hand, Zheng's mother's face that has crow's feet is immediately full of smiles,

"Okay, okay, have some fun......"

Wang Yu was driving the car in front of her, and Ruixi saw that everything was fresh and was not afraid of the cold, so she had to sit outside with him, so Zong Jiyuan sat in the car with Mantang Hong by her temperament.

Outside the carriage, Ruixi kept asking this and that, while in the carriage, Zong Jiyuan and Man Tanghong continued to talk, and they also learned more about the behavioral characteristics of "Lin Shiming" between words, and they were more sure that they were not the same person as the one who instigated Zong Jicai.

Finally, the carriage arrived at the gate of the theater called "Qingxiang Stage".

Seeing that it was a guest who came by car, the guy who was waiting in front of the theater saw it, and hurriedly came forward to greet him warmly, Zong Jiyuan instructed "help us take care of the car", and the four people followed the guy who led the way directly to the second floor of the private seat, and the guy who had just sat down and had already run the hall sent refreshments, hand towels and the like.

At this time, the noon scene had not yet begun, Zong Jiyuan nodded and called the guy on the side,

"What's the drama today?"

"Oh, it's the little peach's 'West Chamber' that will play for a while,"

While answering, the guy handed over the play list,

"Of course, a few guest officers can also order a show."

"Hey, isn't there a June Red scene today?!"

Ruixi, who was sitting on the side, kept blinking and looking around, and at this time he really couldn't help but ask.

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said,

"This little girl, the little one doesn't know what's going on, June Hong hasn't been on stage for a while, I heard that she is sick, but the specific, small one is really not clear."

"Yes,"

Zong Jiyuan listened, thought about it, took out a few dollars and rewarded the guy, and said,

"Okay, you have the right to rest first, you don't have to accompany you here, if there is something, we will naturally call you."

"Thank you for this guest, thank you, thank you, thank you......"

The guy took the tip money with both hands and happily withdrew.

There is not much time, the play has started, and sure enough, this little peach Dan Jiao, singing skills are not in place, although the voice is okay, there will be room for improvement and development in the future, but at the moment these viewers are not buying it, and even some ruffian people have begun to call it good.

Ruixi grabbed the railing of the building with a pair of small hands and pouted in disappointment, but those eyes still did not blink and insisted on watching the play on the stage.

When Zong Jiyuan saw her appearance, he felt a little funny and said,

"Ruixi, is the June Red Opera you said singing very well?"

"Hmm...... How to put it,"

Hearing Zong Jiyuan talking to himself, Ruixi turned his little head to think about it and said,

"In fact, the best person in the Confucian opera troupe is the class owner, Boss Kong, my grandfather likes to listen to him sing the most, but I don't know why his voice broke later, so he stopped on stage. That June Red is the female disciple of Boss Kong, although she sings well, but she is still not as good as her master, these are what my grandfather told me, but now my grandfather is no longer there......"

Although there was no coherence in what Ruixi said, Zong Jiyuan still understood it very clearly. But the most concerned thing is that June red, logically speaking, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, it is the most prosperous period of the opera garden's business, why did she not take the stage at this time, but let this little peach who has obviously not yet been a teacher take the lead? No matter how you look at it, it feels very wrong.

After the noon scene was over, Zong Jiyuan gave all the rewards that should be given, glanced at the messy seats under the stage, and then said to Wang Yu,

"Brother Wang Yu, please send the two girls back to Yichun Courtyard in a carriage first."

"What about you?"

Wang Yu asked with a "I knew you would find something to come out" expression.

Zong Jiyuan glanced at him and said with a smile,

"I'll go to Master Kong to ask about something, Brother Wang Yu is tired a lot, after sending the two of them back, you can go back to the county government first."

As he spoke, he turned around and saw that the two girls were also looking at him, so he smiled and put ten taels of silver in each of their hands, and said,

"Take it back and buy some delicious food, I can't accompany you longer."

"Who dares to let you, master, accompany you......"

sighed softly, muttered a sentence in the red house, and then took Ruixi's hand and said,

"Alright, little girl, let's go back."
