Houmen's concubine

Chapter 393 Propaganda Poster
Under Chen Jiaojiao's suggestion, there are more theaters with extravagant eaves on Qianmen Street. With a swipe of a pen on Huawen Pavilion on the tall eaves, there are five big and powerful characters "Beijing Grand Theater"!Under the sunshine in winter, the quiet Qianmen Street became popular in an instant.

At this time, everyone was full, Xie Yuheng waved to Wang Tonger.

When Wang Tong'er saw it, she quickly put down the mouthwash and walked over, only to see Xie Yuheng calling out the door: "Daan Wu come in!"

Then he saw a young man in hard attire with an expressionless face come in quietly, and bowed to Xie Yuheng with the painting scroll he was holding.Then turn around and leave.

After Xie Yuheng drank, his voice became even lower and hoarse: "Qin Yu, this is the painting you want called 'poster', do you think it is feasible?"

It turned out that Xie Yuheng went to the palace to invite a court painter to draw a promotional poster for the upcoming opera "Legend of the White Snake" according to Wang Tonger's request.

"Thank you, sir." Wang Tong'er smiled all over her face, and stretched out her hands to take the scroll from Xie Yuheng's hand.

Everyone is very curious, what is painted in the scroll?
So, Wang Tong'er lived up to expectations, waited for the shop assistants to clean up the dining table and leave, put the scroll on the dining table, Xiaoyan and Xiaomo didn't need to order, the two opened the scroll.

"Hey!"

"ah!"

"what?"

Fortunately, most of the people were martial arts practitioners, so they took a breath of air after seeing it, and Wang Tong'er also got goose bumps all over when she saw it.

Appearing in front of everyone was a lifelike huge head of a white snake with its mouth open to reveal its venomous fangs. Twisting a beautiful green snake with a snake body and a human face...
Xie Yuheng invited Master Ji Zhenhuanji, who was the best at figures among the court painters, to paint them. He drew a total of three such posters.

The one I just opened to look at was the largest promotional poster among them, and I kept it to be pasted on a special poster board beside the theater gate.

The other two billboards were made of wood and placed in the center of Yongsheng Street, the most prosperous street in the capital, and Yong'an Street, which is slightly less prosperous, and asked a young man to look after them to prevent them from getting wet in the wind and rain, and also to prevent artificial destroy.

All of these were handed over to Cousin Jiaojiao.

Qin Baozhen sent the adults away after eating and drinking enough. When he returned to Qinji Tea Shop, the shop was still full of customers.

This scene, hey!happy!

When the shopkeeper Ding Yinghe saw Qin Baozhen coming in, he hurriedly came forward, couldn't hide the smile on his face and said to Qin Baozhen, "Master, fortunately, the young ones brought all the remaining tea leaves from the warehouse when they came, otherwise , enough to choke!"

Ding Yinghe rejoiced for his wise choice: leaving his hometown, bringing his wife and children to the capital to work with his boss!

He and the other three left for the capital in the afternoon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, in order to catch up with the opening of the Tea House today.

Opened my eyes today, I saw many senior executives and nobles that others talked about, and even saw the father-in-law in the palace,

The most important thing is that the emperor actually rewarded the shop with a plaque...

Life with the boss will not be bad in the future!

"Okay, okay, everyone has worked hard today, and in the evening, my master will invite you to a restaurant for a drink!"

"Thank you, my master, I'll go get busy first." Ding Yinghe and Qin Baozhen handed over and went to deal with the guests.

Qin Baozhen didn't expect that the weather is gloomy today, and when he got up in the morning, he still thought in despair: As long as there is one customer who opens the shop, it will be Amitabha.

Unexpectedly, it really fulfilled the extravagant hope of the owner of the shop: the business is booming, and the customers are abundant!

All of these are the son's credit!
Qin Baozhen was right, if it wasn't for Wang Tonger, Xie Yuheng, Hua Wenge and other high officials in the court, who would patronize your shop?
If it weren't for Wang Tong'er, how could the emperor give you a tea shop imperial plaque?
Not only that, they also beat Yong'an Street all the way from the gate of the palace through Qianmen Street where the officials and nobles gathered.

In this way, no matter how insensitive the officials are, they still know that there is a tea shop on Yong'an Street with a plaque bestowed by the emperor himself.

How could they not order their servants or come to buy them in person?
······
On the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of this month, on this day, people no longer talked about the lantern festival at night, but asked with relish: "Master Li, have you bought a ticket for "The Legend of the White Snake?" Going to see "Legend of the White Snake"?" Then there is: "Master Cheng, do you have any spare tickets for "Legend of the White Snake"? I bought it late..."

Due to the realistic poster promotion in place, plus the introduction of the plot next to it: When Bai Snake Suzhen was a little snake with little magic power, she was caught by the old snake catcher, but fortunately a little shepherd boy rescued her.Suzhen vowed in her heart that she would repay this life-saving grace.Thousands of years later, the white snake cultivated into a human body, and met Xiaoqing, the green snake, when she was repaying her kindness to the world, and she became a sister.After receiving the Bodhisattva's instructions, Suzhen went to Hangzhou West Lake to find Xu Xian, a little shepherd boy thousands of years later and an apprentice in a medicine hall.The two fell in love at first sight, and they soon became friends with Qin Jin.However, Xu Xianer's ears are soft, he misunderstood the monk Fahai's slander, tried his wife's real body with realgar, and frightened to death.Bai Suzhen flew west to steal the celestial grass while she was pregnant, and even fought against the heavenly soldiers to save Xu Xian's life.It's just that Xu Xian, who misunderstood the slander, pointed a bowl at the white lady so that she could no longer escape, and was crushed under the pagoda.He has to wait for his son's high school champion before he can leave the tower.

His son Shilin lived up to expectations, won the first prize, and worshiped in front of the Leifeng Pagoda. His filial piety moved the heavens, and the pagoda fell down, and he saw the sun again.In the end, Suzhen, Xiaoqing, Fahai and Xu Xian also had their cause and effect resolved, their merits and virtues were completed, and they were able to return to the heaven...
This magical and wonderful plot introduction, even the storyteller in the capital has never told such a wonderful and daydreaming fairy tale!
It's an unheard of 'human-snake love'!

Anyone who can read in the capital can't help counting the days after watching the plot, eagerly looking forward to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

There are five performances in total, and the first performance sells what is called a "ticket" ticket and charges 50 taels of silver!
Oh my good boy!

Although the ticket price is expensive, all the tickets for the [-]th day are sold out!
It’s just that for some reason, only 20 taels of silver are sold for a ticket on the second day, and only ten taels of silver are sold for the next three days...
Tickets for the first performance are of course expensive. Chen Jiaojiao, the wife of a second-rank official in the imperial court, has been ordered to play the role of the white lady.

Qin Yu, who has both wisdom and good looks, might be next month's number one scholar playing Xu Xian.

How can the ticket price not be high?

Can the ticket price not be high enough to stand up to the two passionate actors?

It's just that no one knows for the time being that the two of them will play the role.

Not only that, but every audience who bought tickets for the first performance will also get a copy of the lyrics of "Legend of the White Snake" as a gift.

　Wang Tong'er: Don't underestimate the painting skills of ancient painters. They can paint a snake so lifelike that it looks like the real thing!
　　Xie Yuheng: As long as you open your mouth, Tong'er, let alone draw a snake, even a living snake, Ben Du will catch you!
