Torrential rain fell on the imperial capital at night.

Dewey Hussein calmly got out of the carriage, and the attendants behind him held up an umbrella for him early to cover the rainstorm. He straightened his bow tie, then looked up and carved a white jade plaque with four large characters hanging under the roof beams.

Even in the rainstorm, even in the middle of the night, the number of pedestrians coming and going is still unabated. Some of them were well-dressed aristocrats, and some were ordinary people dressed shabbyly, and Du Wei stood out from the crowd, which made him very satisfied.

He strode forward, and the guards made the way for him. The rest of the people had never seen such a battle, and they avoided it in surprise, so he strotted into the opera house, which made him even more satisfied. It's just that the only thing I don't like is that the opera house is already overcrowded.

But soon he was relieved: more people can prove his excellence.

He walked to his place, the twelfth seat in the third row, which was extremely middle. He spent ten gold coins to get this position, but who cares? He came from the south, and the last thing he lacked was gold coins, and besides, in order to win the favor of his future wife, ten small gold coins were really nothing.

As soon as he thought of the legendary woman, his body was hot.

However, his heat was quickly extinguished by the cold air around him. Two men in raincoats sat beside him, and to his displeasure, their raincoats were still wet and looked sloppy, like beggars on the street. Du Wei didn't know how this kind of person got a front seat, you must know that even he could only buy one, and the other two guards could only wait outside.

"I hate going to the opera the most. One of the men pursed his lips and said to the boy beside him, "It's just a waste of time, nothing to moan about." ”

"It's not that bad. The boy laughed.

The conversation between the two made Du Wei even more disdainful. I couldn't understand the opera, I didn't know where the buns came from, and I was lucky enough to pick up two tickets for the front row. It's also infuriating to think about it, he spent ten gold coins, not to mention letting the people around him have his level, so he can't be too low-level, look at that man, what is he doing in public?!

Du Wei watched in astonishment as the man put his hand into his chest, scratching it constantly, such an indecent action, Du Wei seemed to feel a foul smell coming from the man's chest.

"When is it going to end?"

"It's not started yet. ”

"It's boring, I have to go back as soon as possible. The man looked bored, "Anyway, how much did you spend on tickets?"

"The tickets in the front row, slightly more expensive. The boy laughed.

Du Wei's heart is balanced again, two gold coins are indeed "expensive" for ordinary people, just to listen to an opera, but for him, it is completely drizzle. Okay, the drizzle is still a bit exaggerated, but it really doesn't hurt.

"Fifty silver coins for one ticket. The boy said.

Du Wei's proud expression froze.

"Fifty silver coins?" said the man dissatisfied, "so expensive?"

"It's not too expensive, and if you weren't a local, you might have spent more money. The boy laughed, "People just like to bully outsiders, and I've heard that some people pay five gold coins to buy tickets for the front row." ”

"Five gold coins, how stupid is that man's brain?" the man was shocked, then turned his head to look at Du Wei beside him, and asked familiarly, "Did you say yes?" ”

Du Wei's expression was completely stiff, and he smiled at the man reluctantly, but in his heart he scolded his two guards ten thousand times! Five gold coins to buy a ticket is stupid enough, what is it if he spends ten gold coins? Is he stupid enough to go home? Du Wei felt as uncomfortable as eating, but the man was still waiting for his reply, he could only endure the bleeding heart, and said in a trembling voice: "That's right, it's not worth it." ”

"It's stupid!" the man concluded.

Until the opera began, Dewey's mood could not be eased. Fortunately, there wasn't much light inside, and the darkness managed to hide his iron-blue face. A quarter of an hour later, all the lights disappeared, only a light remained on the stage, and the people fell silent, and Du Wei temporarily withdrew the unhappiness in his heart.

Because the woman came.

She stood in the center of the stage, the only beam of light in the audience hitting her. She held her head high, like a proud white swan, and generously showed her face to the audience. For a while, the scene was so silent that it could be heard that a needle was falling, and Du Wei felt that his breathing was about to stagnate. For this moment, what is the point of spending ten gold coins?

As the music played, the women on the stage danced softly. In fact, she is still a girl, her long hair tied up is black and bright, and her dancing posture is vigorous and moving. One moment she was like a white swan all the time, but now she has become the most perfect dancer.

People were naturally intoxicated by her dancing, and Du Wei's heart seemed to be lit with a fire. He wanted to say something out loud, so he pushed the man he hated before, and said in a trembling voice, "Do you see that girl-"

"See. The man nodded, "I'll marry her home." ”

"Uh-huh. Du Wei nodded desperately, and after a moment, he felt that something was wrong. When he really wanted to settle accounts with a man, he turned his head and saw the girl dancing on the dance floor reflected in the man's bright eyes, and he was unconsciously stunned.

When the girl left the stage, the audience burst into applause. Almost everyone came for her, so much so that they ignored the other projects in the opera, and the high soprano and intoxicating bass did not arouse interest in the slightest. They watched as the girl stepped off the stage and disappeared behind the curtain, stunned.

......

Delusion, it must be an illusion.

After the end, Du Wei kept admonishing himself in his heart. When he saw that girl, he unconsciously felt in his heart that he was not worthy of her. But how is this possible? He is a young and promising rich man, and he can buy everything for girls!

For example, the small box he always holds in his hand contains priceless pearls. This is the best one he has chosen for the lord of the port of Sophia. At this moment, he was standing in the background, waiting for the girl to appear, and he believed that as long as he offered this pearl and matched it with a sincere attitude, no girl would refuse him.

But what made him uneasy was that the two people sitting next to him just now were also standing in the corner of the backstage at the moment, not knowing what they were talking about.

It's really annoying two people, but let them go, how can two hillbillies fight for themselves?

He thought silently.

Soon, the girl came out. She walked alone in the middle of the aisle, still like a proud white swan, with no one in her eyes. Du Wei's heart was pounding, and he took a deep breath and blocked in front of the girl.

"Beautiful lady. Du Wei's voice trembled a little, "I think you should be worthy of this beautiful pearl." ”

He slowly opened the box, revealing the priceless pearls inside, crystal clear, attracting the attention of others for a moment. This made him proud again, and his self-confidence seemed to be restored, and he held his neck high, wanting to learn from the girl's pride, and in his heart, he seemed to have seen the picture of the girl pounced on his chest.

It was the brutal fact that slapped him in the face a matter of seconds. The girl just glanced at the pearl, and then walked straight past Du Wei, who still had a smug smile on his face, but there was only air in front of him.

Another uninteresting person, the girl thought to herself.

"Hey, hey, don't go, don't go!"

At this moment, a man rushed in front of the girl and blocked her. The girl frowned, looking at the man's slightly immature face, this person has just come of age. Dressed sloppily, she has never had such a tasteless chaser.

"What's the matter?" the girl's voice was cold.

"It's a small thing. The man grinned and put his hand into his arms, and the girl's eyes widened, and she thought he was going to play a hooligan, and was about to go up and kick him, but the man took out a black kitten from his arms. The girl was stunned, and her attention was instantly attracted to the kitten.

"I picked it up. The man said solemnly, "I feel that this cat seems to like you quite a lot, so it is better for you to be kind and raise it." ”

"Raise it?" The girl lost her previous coldness, and there was a hint of panic in her tone, "Can I?"

"Absolutely. The man continued to be serious, "I decided to raise you because of your kindness." As long as you swear and take good care of it, I will naturally teach you how to raise it. ”

There was a hint of concern in the girl's eyes, she stared into the man's eyes, and did not see any color in them that made her hateful, and after hesitating for a while, she really couldn't resist the meow of the little milk cat "meow", so she agreed. The man immediately gave her the cat, and the girl held it in his arms and couldn't put it down.

"I'll teach you that cats should be touched like this. The man reached out and touched the girl's head, "It's like this—"

Du Wei watched this scene blankly, knowing that the man and the girl were leaving with the cat, and he did not slow down. How could it be, how could this be? Why could a priceless pearl be compared to a little milk cat that can be found everywhere? No, no, no, there must be something wrong with that girl, something wrong with her brain!

No, no, that girl is so perfect, how could she have something wrong with her brain, it must be that man, that man's hands and feet. Du Wei felt that he had figured it out, and he yelled at his two guards: "What are you doing in a daze? ”

Only then did the two guards react and hurriedly tried to catch up. However, a teenager stood in front of them, and Du Wei naturally recognized him, he was the guy who was traveling with the man, and he looked like he was still underage.

"Get out of the way!" yelled Du Wei, "or I'll beat you up." ”

"People won't like you, so take this heart. How could the daughter of a princess like a merchant. The boy smiled harmlessly, "Also, I'm not called a little brat, my name is Al Granger." ”
