surnamed Wang

Chapter 53

It's been another three months, this year's winter has come earlier, snow has just started, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated in the capital.

The city was not affected by the sudden heavy snow, but the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Because just a month ago, the emperor decided on the candidate for the new crown prince, and the enthronement was also scheduled for these few days. And I got it.And the newly established crown prince wanted to hold the enthronement ceremony hastily, not only outsiders, but even the court ministers didn't know the reason. I'm afraid only the emperor himself knew the reason.

Although everyone doesn't know why, but the succession of the new king is a happy event after all. The Ministry of Rites is busy purchasing necessary items. The palace is very busy here, and the capital city is also full of excitement on the other side. The people put up lights and festoons, It's not that people are so unpopular today, it's just that the common people always like to be lively, and this kind of rare event that happens every few decades is more interesting than New Year's Eve.

Fortunately, this year is another year of good harvest, and the imperial court is also willing for the people to decorate the capital spontaneously. If it is all funded by the treasury, it will be a considerable expense.

Soon, there is only one day left before the new emperor ascends the throne. Wang Bingquan is lying in the teahouse, drinking melon seeds and drinking tea. He is currently staying in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse. The room has a balcony, and each room has a balcony. There is a reclining chair, and you can just see the stage downstairs when lying on the reclining chair.

There will be a performance in the teahouse every afternoon at a fixed time. Drinking tea and listening to opera has only emerged in recent years. The name of this opera is Legendary Opera. So it developed.

There are three major teahouses in Beijing, the largest of which is Guanghan Tower. It is said that Guanghan Palace is the place where the fairy Chang'e stayed. There is also a fairy in this Guanghan Tower, who is a famous actor in the legendary opera, named Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian was born with a male body and a female appearance, and her voice and singing skills are all superb. Although the plot is more important in legendary operas, after being sung by this famous actor, the plot seems to become less important. Spending a lot of money just to find a good location to cheer for Lu Xiaoxian.

The second floor of Guanghan Building, where Wang Gangquan was at this time, was in an excellent location. Just lying on a chair leisurely, he could see every move of the actors on the stage downstairs. The layout of the teahouse was even more peculiar, and the sound was amplified. Everywhere is clearly audible, but there is no noise, so that the visitors are not surprised.

The elegant room on the second floor is equipped with tables, chairs, beds and all kinds of furniture.If anyone wants to live here for a while, as long as they have enough money in their pockets, that's fine.

Ordinary people may have to save a month's worth of money to listen to a play, so the nobles of the high family are the regular visitors here.

Ordinary folks who love opera don't want to come here. If they accidentally bump into a certain master, they really can't eat and walk away, so they usually prefer to go to the other two teahouses, where the singing skills are not good. It's a bit expensive, but with only a few copper coins, you can order a bowl of not-so-good tea and listen to the show with your feet clasped. This feels more comfortable.

Since Wang Gingquan stole a lot of money from the fourth prince, he has been worrying about having nowhere to spend it, so he also imitated others and rented a teahouse with a good view in the most famous teahouse in the capital for a lot of money. A room is rented for half a year.

Even though the waiter in the teahouse is used to seeing high-ranking officials and dignitaries, he has never seen such a generous person.

You know, the half-year fee is enough for an ordinary family of three to last for several lifetimes, so they changed their contempt and nodded and bowed politely to this young man who was much younger than themselves.

Wang Gingquan ate the melon and fruit snacks brought by the staff, and closed his eyes to savor the singing from downstairs. In his previous life, he didn't like operas, but now he doesn't know whether it's because he's getting old or too boring, and he gradually likes it. Kind of a babbling thing.

Especially Lu Xiaoxian, a famous character who is well-known in the capital, has a clear voice and a melodious and graceful singing. There is no need to take a breath, just this one move, it will take five or six blocks away from other long-established corners.

Finally, the finished song "Huanxisha" ended perfectly with Lu Xiaoxian's singing, and immediately won applause from all the audience, but Wang Bingquan was not included. It's amazing that even the best song can't get tired of listening to it more than ten times in a row.

Just when Wang Gangquan was still immersed in it with his eyes closed, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Wang Gangquan still didn't open his eyes, his spiritual sense can cover 200 meters around, and he doesn't need to open his eyes to see who is coming.

"My lord, can I tell you something?"

At this moment, Wang Gangquan slowly opened his eyes, stood up and looked at the man with a beautiful face behind him.

"Boss Lu, it's rare to greet guests in person!"

The person who came was Lu Xiaoxian who was singing in the audience just now. At this moment, he had changed out of his costume and washed it off. Looking at it now, if he didn't know the details, he would have thought that the other party was a woman with a heroic look.It's a pity that although he has a face that makes women jealous, he is a real pure man.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled calmly, it's okay if he doesn't smile, when he smiles, it's even more charming than the smile of Hongxing, the oiran of Zuixinglou, even though Wang Gangquan is a straight man of steel, he can't help but lose his mind, and secretly say evil.

The other party was not angry when he saw Wang Gingquan's expression. He had opened this teahouse for so long, and he had never seen any kind of person. He continued to speak with a smile: "Young Master Wang has lived in the small shop for so long, and I only came up to bother you today. It should be The next one is not."

"Boss Lu is serious, please sit down!" Wang Gangquan made a gesture of invitation while talking about the scene.

Lu Xiaoxian was not polite when he heard the words, and sat down immediately, while Wang Gingquan sat opposite him, and kept looking at the face of the famous opera actor opposite him.It is said that his behavior is very rude, but Lu Xiaoxian can see clearly, open the door to do business, there is no reason not to let people see, besides, just a few glances will not lose a few catties.

Wang Gingquan seemed to have finally seen enough, so he looked back and apologized slightly: "I'm sorry, I don't know if Boss Lu came to see me in person today, what's the matter?"

"Oh, just now I saw that among the onlookers, only Mr. Wang didn't applaud. May I ask if there is something wrong with Lu's performance?"

Wang Gangquan quickly shook his head, "It's nothing, I was immersed in Boss Lu's singing just now and couldn't extricate myself from it. There is a saying, oh yes, the lingering sound lingers for three days!"

Only then did Lu Xiaoxian on the opposite side show a relaxed expression, "Oh, that's how it is."

"However, Brother Lu, I have a suggestion. I don't know if I should say it or not?" Wang Gangquan started to build up friendship again.

"Prince Wang, but it's okay to say." Lu Xiaoxian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Wang Gangquan's words, but felt that this person was very enthusiastic.

"It's about whether we can change the song next time. I've listened to "Huanxisha" more than ten times."

"This……"

It's not that he doesn't want to change, it's that this opera has just emerged, and there are really no new repertoires.

Seeing that the other party was in a bit of embarrassment, Wang Gangquan naturally knew the reason, so he said boldly, "If I can write a good book, I wonder if brother Lu would like to sing for me?"

"Naturally willing!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxian showed a bright smile, her long and narrow eyes looked more like a charming fox demon, so bright that it almost blinded Wang Quanquan's dog eyes.
