36. Play Garden

After the three of them left the Song Mansion, Lu Yanyue also decided to put the displeasure behind her, thinking: This is the first time to wander around in such a swaggering house!

When I first came back to this street, I was still unwell, and I stood beside Song Anxiao.

The second time I came back to this street, I was full of panic and followed Qiqi's side in confusion.

This third came back to this street, full of joy and a gentle breeze, as if God was enjoying joy with Lu Yanyue.

Enjoying the hustle and bustle of the crowd in her ears, enjoying the laughter of the children playing and playing, the smile on Lu Yanyue's face couldn't stop being revealed.

Qiqi, who was by his side, saw that Lu Yanyue was so happy, and gradually unloaded a little of his usual indifference.

"Miss, why don't we go to the theater first and occupy a good place in the garden?" Qiqi seemed to have a little smile on his face, and his tone was a little more easy-going than usual.

"Won't we meet the crown prince?" As soon as Lu Yanyue heard Qiqi mention the opera garden, she couldn't help but think of Song Anxiao's weird face.

"Miss, if you want to watch a play, why should you care about the prince? The prince can't take care of the princess, so wouldn't it be better for us to have a position far away from the prince and them then? When Qiqi heard it, he also spoke euphemistically, signaling that Lu Yanyue didn't have to take the prince to heart.

"You're right to say that, anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so let's go to the show!" Lu Yanyue thought about it, Qiqi's words were not wrong, she said this, and the movements under her feet were also striding forward regardless of the direction.

"Miss......" Qiqi saw Lu Yanyue's refreshment, and the movements under her feet were also a little heroic. But he still couldn't help but speak, trying to stop Lu Yanyue's idea of moving forward.

"Huh?"

"The opera garden is on the other side......" Qiqi whispered, followed by the stiffness of Lu Yanyue's steps......

"Do you dare to say it sooner next time?" Lu Yanyue pretended to be angry and said, turned around as if nothing had happened, and walked freely.

"Miss, you didn't ask! Aren't ordinary young ladies afraid to walk around? Qiqi saw that Lu Yanyue did not have the slightest anger on his face, and he also boldly retorted.

"Seventy-seven!" When Lu Yanyue heard this, although she was happy in her heart, she thought: That indifferent and ruthless Qiqi seems to be disappearing little by little, and gradually replaced by a Qiqi who has feelings and expressions and can joke. But his face was well contained, maintaining a calm expression, and he said something strange.

When Qiqi heard this, he didn't dare to make more nonsense, put away a little joke, and pointed the way for Lu Yanyue.

Haisheng, who has been following him, is always vigilant. For the conversation between the two, I didn't pay attention at all. Compared with Qiqi, Haisheng is more severe.

Soon, the three of them came to the opera garden.

"A few spectators, please~" The janitor saw that Lu Yanyue had the idea of going inside, and he responded with a huff.

"Is there a seat?" Qiqi put away the appearance of laughing with Lu Yanyue earlier, and asked in an indifferent tone.

"Oops! Unfortunately, the guest officer, now there is only a café on the first floor. Do you see if you can deign to look at our autumn face and enter the personal field? The little guy said with a smile on his face, and at the same time motioned for Lu Yanyue to enter.

Lu Yanyue listened to the little girl talking about Duoqiu, and recalled that Chen Chenyi at the dinner table had also discussed this drama Duoqiu. After thinking about it, he crossed the threshold of the opera garden and said, "I want to see this autumn!" ”

"Howler! Guest officer, please! As he spoke, the little servant led Lu Yanyue to the teahouse closer to the stage.

"Let's have a pot of tea, and a few broken mouths." After Lu Yanyue sat down, Qiqi also silently gave an order.

"Howler! Wait a minute! The little guy said, turned his head and left.

"Sit down ...... Huh? What about Haisheng? After Lu Yanyue sat down, she glanced around, turned her head and wanted to beckon Qiqi to sit down with Haisheng, but when she turned her head, she saw Qiqi standing beside her, and Haisheng didn't know where she was.

"Haisheng is in the dark around him, Miss rest assured." Qiqi said, and sat down next to Lu Yanyue peacefully.

Soon, tea was delivered. Qiqi served to pour tea and peel some melons and fruits. Lu Yanyue secretly took a closer look at the surroundings, the tea house on the first floor seemed to be disorderly, but the distance between each table seemed to be fixed.

And at the edge of each table, there stood a servant.

"Qiqi, can you only bring one attendant in each table?" Lu Yanyue asked Qiqi softly.

"Yes, after all, watching a theater is not a war. So, this is also a rule of the opera garden, that is, no matter how many people you bring, only one person is allowed to stay at the table to serve at the table. Qiqi explained as he peeled the skins of the grapes.

Looking up again, there were bead curtains all around the second floor, and I couldn't see the people inside. However, there is a clear division between each position, making it look like a separate stand.

The decoration of the whole theater garden is very simple, it seems that except for the stage that is more exquisite, the rest are ordinary wooden beams and red paint. As for whether this wood is good or bad, Lu Yanyue can't see why it's coming.

"Isn't this theater very profitable? With so many people, these small drinks and dishes are only a few dollars, aren't they? Lu Yanyue looked at the surrounding area and the table was full after a while, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Where!" As soon as Qiqi heard it, he knew that this was Lu Yanyue's blind spot again. But he didn't feel impatient, and said carefully and softly: "Most of the people who come to see the opera garden are white prostitutes. ”

"Huh?" When Lu Yanyue heard this, she was really a little confused, prostitution?

"People like us in the café on the floor, a large part of them don't know how to keep silver taels, and they will leave after watching the play. There are many more, that is, ordinary people who come in after the opening of the play, and their families may not be enough to make ends meet, where will they come here to spend money. ”

"As for the elegant seats on the second floor, although most of them are eunuchs, they will only occasionally give some silver taels to the little maid who serves tea. The people who will leave two pieces of silver for the opera garden, maybe only four out of ten. ”

"Then what does this opera garden rely on to feed Ah ......" Lu Yanyue heard Qiqi say this, and muttered silently in her heart: No wonder opera will be lonely after thousands of years, it turns out that in ancient times, there were many people who did not cherish it.

"Some eunuchs who like to watch dramas will invite people from the opera garden to their homes, and the opera garden basically survives by these people. And those who are invited to perform at home are basically famous songs that are not usually sung in the theater garden. Qiqi continued to explain, and Lu Yanyue listened like this, which can be regarded as an understanding.

"So, what's that autumn? Do you know? ”

As soon as Lu Yanyue's words came out, before the end note fell, there was a drum sound in his ears.

The surroundings fell silent in an instant, leaving only the sound of drums and music, echoing in this theater garden.
