Chapter 51 Spanning 600 Years, Meeting Liang Zhu
As soon as the stage was set up and the big and small gongs were put on, many passers-by stopped to watch. When they saw the dressed-up Huadan in Tsing Yi on the attic, they immediately couldn't walk with the things in their hands.

"Hey old man, are my eyes blurred? That seems to be the character from Zuiqing Pavilion, Chen Jinlian, right?"

"It's so far away, and I can't see it. I'm sure I'll recognize her when she raises her voice later!"

All the theaters in Mizhuang were destroyed and occupied by Fatty Wang and turned into branches of Gaolianghui. The stage set up at the entrance of Shuixiangju today is considered to be the children of the rich family in Mizhuang in the past few months, except for the glass jade in Yuhuan Pavilion. Besides, get the most freshness.

This matter was passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, and it took half an hour to prepare. Shui Xiang lived inside and outside, up and down the attic, and there were people who came to watch.

The cold pig ears, cucumbers, and especially the fried peanuts on the menu have been sold out.

"What's the matter with you? You can't even afford a plate of peanuts?"

The guy forced a smile, "Guest officer, you've already eaten more than a dozen plates, please give us some time to restock!"

"Okay, okay, hurry up! Don't delay the elegant mood of the master!"

"Hey! The head of the family said, first serve a pot of good tea, take your time, and I will serve you peanuts later!"

In the back kitchen, more than a dozen guys and the second brother stared at each other.

When the eldest brother made purchases early in the morning, he did expect that there might be a lot of people today, but he did not expect to be able to empty the warehouse.

"Our restaurant pays first and then serves the food. Now there are more than a dozen tables that are almost out of order. The second boss, I have to go and buy some more!"

The second brother rolled up his sleeves, "You guys go to the elder brother, and go shopping now! You guys and I go to the nearest stall first, and buy some for emergency!"

"It's the second master!"

Rolling up the curtains together, gongs and drums blaring, rhythmic little tunes, like pairs of invisible hands, pushing people in the alley one after another towards the door of Shuixiangju.

Even the buddy in Yuhuan Pavilion opposite was standing at the door, knocking on melon seeds and watching with interest.

Yin Bao stood on the attic, looking at the two older sisters with joy in his eyes.

Jin Lian, dressed in green clothes, came out from behind the roller blind with a few rags attached. She was dressed in a black hat, with piercing eyes, a ruddy complexion, an upright body, swinging her sleeves, raising and stopping, and fixed her eyes, attracting everyone. Applause again and again.

The big gong was played again, followed by the small gong, followed by the flat drum lightly, Dang Dang, and a pink-clothed actress came out from behind. Although Cuimei was wearing a long gown, she was smiling without showing her teeth, but she was bright and natural, romantic and lively.

The eyes of the two girls are astonishing, and one look may be mighty and powerful, or full of friendship. With a chorus, the curtain opened——

"A story has been sung for thousands of years~~Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai~~~A pair of colorful butterflies spread their love~~Flying to the flowers again today~~~~"

"it is good!--"

There was a lot of applause from the audience, and even the restaurant owners in the alleys on both sides, who were making money every day, couldn't sit still when they heard this voice.

Jin Lian shook her sleeves and opened her fan, "I, Liang Shanbo, walked out of the ravine!~~~"

Cuimei covered her face with a flower fan, "I walked out of Zhuying Terrace from Xiulou!"

Jin Lian pointed to the distance with her fan again, "I have never seen such a vast world on the back of an ox!"

Cuimei's eyes are piercing, "It's only when you leave the boudoir that you can appreciate the openness of the world~"

As the musical instruments played, Yin Bao sat on the chair in the attic and leaned back naturally, listening to the opera rhyme of Jinlian and Cuimei. This feeling, if there is another reclining chair, it would be beautiful in the world.

"Master! Someone is looking for you in the backyard! He said he would meet you in person to express his gratitude!"

A buddy came up to report, disturbing Yin Bao's nerves that had been soothed by the opera. She closed her eyes and frowned slightly. Could it be the bride who was rescued in the morning?She said at the time that she would come to repay her kindness in the future.

"Is your identity revealed?"

The buddy widened his eyes and thought for a while, stretched out a hand, retracted the middle three fingers, stretched the thumb and little finger, and bent the fingertips towards the palm of his hand, showing Yin Bao.

"He only made one gesture like that."

Yin Bao glanced at it and gestured to himself, is this a six?Why do you seem to have seen it somewhere?Suddenly, Yin Bao slapped his forehead, secretly feeling unknown, is this someone from the palace?
In the empty warehouse in the backyard, a man wearing a black hat, black cloak, and black mask sat across from Yinbao, took out a large banknote of 1 taels, and slid it in front of Yinbao.

Yin Bao searched for his eyes on his black face with an ultra-low aura, but found nothing but the mask.

"what is this?"

"My master, I heard that you have a vegetable that can be used to lose weight. I will buy a hundred catties first. Is this enough?"

The master in the palace who wanted to lose weight was probably someone sent by the ancestors. Seeing this man's strange attire, Yin Bao didn't rush to accept the money even though he had the goods.

"I don't know where you came from. I can't take this money easily."

Snapped!
The man in black threw a bronze token on the table. Yin Bao glanced at it, and saw the three characters "Yusige" written in official script.Yusi Pavilion has special secret guards. These people have no names, only code names, and no one knows their looks. They only obey one master for life, and they are in the token.

"The secret guard of Yu Sige, this is enough for you to trust."

Yinbao accepted the banknote and stared at him, "There are about [-] catties left in this warehouse, all of them, how do you take them away?"

The dark guard glanced back, and said coldly, "You don't need to care about it, please close the door when Boss Ren goes out."

Yinbao looked at the banknote carefully, and was sure it was a serious bank, with three stamps and five seals, and it was not old and expired, and it was definitely 1 taels
Then I put my heart in my stomach, went out, and closed the door from the outside.

It's just that Yinbao looked at the back door of the restaurant. This time, Sinan and Mingshou had to remake the door. There was only one key. The elder brother just gave Yinbao this morning. How did this person get in?

Just wondering, the second brother brought some people to buy some things and came back first. Seeing Yinbao in the backyard, he hurriedly shouted, "Ninny, quickly open the door for the second brother!"

"Okay, let me introduce you by the way"

Yin Bao opened the door again, but before he could say the introduction, he saw that the room was empty, and the hidden guards and dishes were gone.

"I'll go. Niu, niu, niu" Yin Bao's eyes widened, and he suspected that he was dreaming just now.

The second brother put down the chicken, duck and fish in his hand, and the clerk next to him took a warehouse record book, counted the things in the warehouse, and looked around suspiciously. next book.

Yin Bao took the book, but there was no title on it, he raised his eyes to look at it, pulled his second brother aside, and told him what happened just now in a low voice.

The second elder brother frowned slightly after hearing this, lowered his eyes and stared at the book for a long time, "Then if you look through this book, is there still money in your pocket?"

Yin Bao twisted her braid, with a helpless expression on her face.

It was really obedient and shook a few times, flipping from front to back, and from flip to front.

"No."

"Unexpectedly, the old ancestor came to you to buy so many vegetables, and always felt that there was something strange in it!"

Yin Bao nodded, put the book in his bosom, with joy in his eyes, "However, it didn't take a day or two for our Shoushoucai name to be known, and it was expected that our ancestors would send someone to buy it. In this way, Chen When the master comes to ask for the horse tomorrow, we will have the money to pay it back!"

Suddenly, the beating of gongs, drums and bamboo tubes in the front hall became exciting, and only Cuimei could be heard crying several times, singing unbearably distressed——

"Speaking of my brother's heart, the stele flies to the tomb and cracks and thunder!"

The audience was silent for a few seconds, and then the applause and applause continued, resounding through the sky.The people who listened to the opera hid their tears and left, while the guys in Shuixiangju happily cleaned up the dishes, wiped the table and washed the dishes.

Yinbao helped Jinlian and Cuimei remove their outfits in the attic. While they were happy and encouraging each other, and thinking about what to improve when they sang tomorrow, Yinbao leaned against the window, blowing a breeze.

Xingyan glanced casually, and saw two men standing beside the empty stage.

Eh?It seems not, Yin Bao rubbed his eyes, the one with phoenix eyes on the left is a man, and the one on the right, with reddish cheeks, shy almond eyes and creamy skin, should be a woman dressed as a man.

The man was dressed in blue clothes, a black scholar's hat on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. He smiled very warmly.And the plainclothes woman next to her has a slender waist and is as exquisite as jade. Although she also has a folding fan in her hand, when she smiles with her chest open, just looking back is enough to move people's hearts.

The two of them led two white horses, and immediately put on the scholar's outfit, and a few thick blue-sealed ancient books were faintly visible.

Can't help but attract Yinbao's attention.During the Jin Dynasty, women were not allowed to go to school, at least the etiquette and law did not allow it.

"Brother Liang, the person in this play is also called Shan Bo. What a coincidence."

"That's right, there is also a person named Yingtai in this play. Is that virtuous brother really a beautiful girl as sung in the play?"

"Brother Liang, why are you making fun of others like this? If Mister finds out, he might drop you out of school!"

"Brother Yingtai, forgive me for being rude, I will make up for it!"

The two faced each other, held fans in both hands, bowed to each other, one apologized, and the other returned the salute, just like the bride and groom paying homage to marriage, and then led the horse and hurried on the road.

Yin Bao stared blankly at the attic.Soon, he realized that this was not watching a play. The two of them just now were really standing downstairs, and they really said those words.

Among them, one is Shanbo and the other is Yingtai.If history can't be changed, and the scene that shouldn't have happened just now can't reverse the time and space they have entered, then the bow just now may be the closest moment to their happiness in this life.

"Master, the head of the house said that everything was packed, and told you to go downstairs and go back!"

Yin Bao came back to his senses, closed the window, and followed the waiter downstairs.

 The excerpted part of the libretto is taken from the Huangmei Opera "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" ~ a good story through the ages, passed down forever, a tribute to the classics!
