After nightfall, Xiao Cheng seems to be completely different from the daytime.

Meilan, who used electric light, bathroom and soap for the first time, was very excited, and she was really a child.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the Wei steward sent someone to send a new cover from the treasury that he didn't know how to get, which solved a problem for Xiao Nan.

The Xiao family is going to party all night again, but the eldest master is not too noisy. Meilan put on new clothes and planned to go to the night market happily, but she had to give up because of the night rain.

Xiao Nan lay down on the bed early, and he actually preferred to spend time in bed than in front of the desk.

There are two more people in the family, and it seems that there are many more people.

Just Meilan and Wanyue talking non-stop was enough to make the whole room look particularly lively.

Xiao Nan didn't know why he felt a lot more relaxed, and soon fell asleep groggily.

Maybe that's the same thing that makes it easier to sleep with the TV on.

The next day was still raining rainy, but fortunately, the terrain of the whole city was relatively high, so there was no waterlogging, and although the Xiao family was in a small valley, a very strong drainage system was built around it, in short, the Xiao family could not be flooded anyway.

Xiao Nan still can't go out, and he is not in a hurry, anyway, Miss Yao is still a guest in the mansion, even if she wants to teach her, she has to wait until she returns to her mansion. That would be at least a dozen days later.

Xiao Nan, who has nothing to do, can only lie in bed and close his eyes and enjoy Wanyue's rehabilitation massage for him, otherwise he has nothing to do. At least in his opinion, all his actions at the moment seem to be in a delicate stalemate, and he cannot move forward but can only wait.

Meilan and Ah Cheng cleaned up the small courtyard inside and out, originally Wanyue didn't have time to take care of those details, she could only take care of herself and Xiao Nan's food and clothing, but now that there are more people, the whole courtyard seems to have a new look. Originally, Xiao Nan also said that he wanted to teach his brothers and sisters to read, but in the end, he himself was too lazy to get up in bed, so it became Wanyue to teach them to read.

Wanyue is also a lady from a scholarly family, and she is also very attentive to teaching.

After a day of confusion, I didn't expect that in the evening, there was another knock at the back door.

Now the only one who will go through the back door is Xiaoci.

Xiao Nan then glanced at Wanyue and told her to take Meilan to hide first, because Xiaoci's eyes were too lively, and she didn't know what plan she would come up with when she saw Meilan.

Wanyue then asked Meilan to go to her bedroom and wait first, and then went to open the door.

The person who came was really Xiao Ci, as soon as Xiao Ci saw Xiao Nan, he said noisily: "Thirteen Shao, you are really developed, I heard that you have recruited two new servants, it is really different if you have money!" ”

"You really know everything, you must have brought me some 'good news' this time, right?" Xiao Nan leaned on the cushion at the head of the bed and said.

"You're still the same as before, you don't even have a bed with you." Xiao Ci complained about Xiao Nan's lazy appearance, and then continued: "I helped you inquire about another good opportunity, it depends on whether you can grasp it."

Tomorrow night, the most famous dark light troupe in the five provinces will be found by the big man to sing, just in our own theater in Xiao Mansion, when the time comes, the big man must go to the play, and will invite the big handsome, the most famous people in the Xiao Mansion will go, you have such a good relationship with Miss Yao, you can talk to her, let her take you with you. In this way, your status will be greatly improved! ”

"Why did Miss Yao agree to take me there? Who am I to see her again? Xiao Nan said.

"I've got you covered. You see, I went to inquire carefully, and the best fat powder used by my aunt and wife is not as good as what you gave me, so I donated these things to help you do favors. Xiao Ci smiled, "But you must take me with you." I've inquired that when you go to a place like a theater, there are no rules that women and attendants are not allowed to enter. ”

When Xiao Nan heard her say this, it suddenly occurred to her that Xiao Ci just wanted to use this opportunity to get to know more of the powerful people of the Xiao Mansion? This kind of person is really tired to live.

"Ah, got it, whatever you say. It's better for you to run for me, my legs and feet are inconvenient. Xiao Nan said.

"Then you have some letters, don't you? I can be a matchmaker, but you can't be so lazy. Hurry up, try to make the letter as beautiful as possible, so that the young lady can fall in love at first sight! Xiao Ci urged like a housekeeper.

Fortunately, Wanyue had already told the brothers and sisters about Xiaoci in advance, saying that she held the handle of the thirteenth young man, don't offend her, and don't talk to her, so the brother and sister didn't come out to scare this high-flying girl.

Xiao Nan had to get out of bed, move to the desk, and pick up a pen to write a letter.

Wan Yue was in a gang to help him prepare pen, ink and paper, Xiao Nan picked up the brush and felt a twitch in his heart, could his handwriting be like the original handwriting of the thirteenth youth?

But he thought about it, if he didn't let Xiao Ci see the clues, he could write it in English, anyway, Miss Yao's foreign language was pretty good.

So he wrote an English letter with a stroke of his pen, Xiao Ci saw it in the fog, and he didn't know what to write, so he said: "You deliberately wrote this kind of foreign language so that I can't understand it, right?" ”

"Miss Yao likes Western studies very much, and writing in foreign language can please her better." Xiao Nan argued.

Xiao Ci snorted and said, "Okay, look at it, I'll definitely do this for you." ”

With that, she left with an umbrella.

After she left, Xiao Nan tilted her head back, leaned back in the chair and let out a long breath.

"I don't understand these doorways in big families, I just think this woman is really annoying." Ah Chengdao, who was standing at the door, said, "Young master, you are a young master, why are you so afraid of a maid?" ”

"You don't understand, it's complicated." Xiao Nan said, "For now, let's do what she says." If you really want to go to that theater, Ah Cheng, you will take me there at that time, do everything according to my instructions, and don't say a word. ”

This Xiao Mansion is too big, and he doesn't want to be tired and half dead back and forth again.

"Okay, everything is arranged by the young master." Ah Chengdao.

"Ah, I forgot to ask her what the origin of that dark light troupe is, the name is novel." Xiao Nan said.

Neither Wanyue nor Ah Cheng had ever heard of this troupe, probably this troupe was only more famous among the powerful.

After Xiao Nan took a bath, he continued to lie on the bed, but he didn't expect that before nightfall, Xiao Ci came again. She is really persevering and energetic, and now he really admires her "dedication".

As soon as she came back, she said proudly: "It's done!" That's it! Thirteen less! You'll have to thank me so much in the future! ”

"What happened?" Xiao Nan asked.

Seeing Xiao Nan lying on the bed again, Xiao Ci pouted loudly: "I'm busy there, you're good, leisurely like a fairy." ”

"I'm crippled." Xiao Nan said bitterly, "Grandma, don't bury me." Let's get straight to the point! ”

Xiao Ci crossed her waist and said: "Miss Yao read your letter, and she is quite satisfied, but she doesn't like to watch that kind of traditional drama, she likes to watch what songs and dramas of foreigners, anyway, she said that she doesn't like to watch it, but she has a ticket given to her by the eldest master-

To say that this theater is also a very powerful place, although it is in the Xiao Mansion, it also requires an admission permit to enter, and it is not a place where any young master and young lady can go.

Miss Yao generously rewarded you with this ticket, saying that you are also her teacher, and you must always respect the teacher. ”

After that, she took out a jade plaque from her clothes, which turned out to be the so-called access card, which was carved from the finest mutton fat white jade, and was engraved with the words "theater".

Xiao Nan took the jade card and said, "What is the origin of this dark light troupe?" ”

"You don't know? It's a shame that you still like to go to the theater so much before! Xiaoci exclaimed.

"I really don't know, I go to ordinary theater gardens, where can I see any dark lights or something." Xiao Nan prevaricated.

"Well, you don't know as much as I do." Xiao Ci rolled her eyes, "I think young master, did you get amnesia after being beaten?" Okay, then I'll tell you.

This dark-lit troupe is a troupe that only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford to hear, and it is said to be very mysterious, and even requires guests to promise that they will never tell the content of the repertoire they hear from their troupe. It's a gimmick or not, but in short, it doubles their value, and rich people want to see it.

However, there are actually very few people who have seen their plays, because this troupe only performs once a year, and one performance costs 10,000 taels of gold, and each number of people who listen to the play has to be charged separately. It is said that no more than 50 people have actually seen their play so far.

Maybe that's what the rich enjoy!

And this time, the eldest master is really wealthy, not only chartered the dark light troupe, but also allowed the young masters and ladies with access cards to bring attendants into the service at will, and there is only the Xiao family who has the courage to spend money in the whole world! ”

"It's really." Xiao Nan couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, it was really unimaginable that there was such a mysterious and strange organization in this Republic of China era, and he didn't know what kind of medicine they sold in their gourds.

"You mean the troupe? Or me? Xiaoci asked.

"Both." Xiao Nan smiled helplessly.
