Chapter [-] Listening to the Opera——

Jing Ci Temple is located in the northwest corner of Fucheng, and Su Mansion is located in Nanfang, the southern city of Fucheng. On the road, Lin Lang suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the market, opened the curtains, and saw an old man playing with a monkey in the market, the monkey was very clever, and made the audience laugh.

Chu Huan rode a horse and followed beside the carriage, but he looked a little tired and seemed to be thinking about something. Lin Lang lifted the curtains, but Chu Huan didn't pay attention.

"Chu Huan, what's wrong with you?" Lin Lang was very surprised: "Are you too tired?"

Hearing Lin Lang's voice, Chu Huan raised his head, smiled, and said, "It's okay." Along the way, he was thinking about the relationship between the red stone and the Heavenly King's Fayan, and even speculated about the strangeness of Jingci Temple.

Lin Lang pointed at the monkey and said, "Look, that monkey is really interesting!"

Chu Huan glanced at it, and saw that although the monkey was well-behaved, it was tied by a rope. It was just a pawn in the monkey's hands, a tool for profit.

At this time, the sky was quite dark, and winter nights always came faster, there were not many people on the street, and the laughter of that group of people was unusually clear. Hearing the laughter of those people, Chu Huan suddenly felt desolate Xin couldn't help sighing: "Man is a knife maggot, I am a fish... They are born from the same root, so why bother to fry each other?"

Lin Lang was very surprised when he heard Chu Huan suddenly say such a sentence, and asked, "Why did you say that?"

Chu Huan was startled, then smiled and said, "Big Boss, how do you think we got here?"

"Of course they were born by my parents." Lin Lang felt that Chu Huan was a little strange.

Chu Huan smiled and nodded, "That's natural. I want to ask, how do people come here?"

Lin Lang smiled sweetly and asked, "Are you going to take the Juren exam? How did you think of these questions?"

Seeing Lin Lang smiling like a flower, very charming, Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Big Boss, look at that monkey, I always feel the same as us, do you think we and monkeys have the same ancestor before?"

Cuiping was also sitting in the carriage with Lin Lang, and when she heard what Chu Huan said, she immediately smiled coquettishly, "Master Chu, you are really joking, we are humans, how can we be like monkeys?"

Lin Lang also covered her small mouth and smiled, "Chu Huan, it's fine for you to tell us about this, but don't mention it to outsiders, otherwise they will definitely scold you to death."

Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, the boss thinks I'm wrong."

Lin Lang pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know either." Then she covered her teeth and smiled, "If you were transformed from a monkey, it must have been a monkey transformed from a big horse."

Chu Huan laughed, and said, "If Dadong's family is transformed by a monkey, it must be the transformation of a very beautiful female monkey." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he suddenly felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say that.

Lin Lang also blushed, glared at Chu Huan, and said, "You are becoming more and more unruly, talking nonsense."

Chu Huan scratched his head. At this time, the carriage was moving forward for a certain distance, but he saw a large and magnificent attic on the side of the street, and there was still a waiter greeting him in front of the door. Chu Huan saw that the attic had three floors with flying eaves. It is very grand, but on the door plaque, there are three words "big garden".

Seeing his doubts, Lin Lang laughed and said, "That's the theater, where you can watch plays."

"Watching a play?"

"That's right!" Seeing that Chu Huan seemed strange, Lin Lang asked softly, "Chu Huan, haven't you...heard of an opera?"

Chu Huan thought for a while, then shook his head.

In fact, in addition to the brothel and music workshop in the Great Qin Empire, this theater building is also a scene. Since the middle period of the former dynasty, there has been a period of performing arts called "Pianerxi" on the stage of history.

"Pian Erxi" is usually divided into five scenes, and the five scenes are coherent to form a complete story, and the five scenes must be fully expressed within the time limit of two hours.

Once some literati are able to write popular "Pian Erxi", their net worth will rise, and various theaters will rush to ask for his stories, and the rewards are also very considerable.

For this reason, in the literary world of the Great Qin Empire, there were literati who specialized in studying "Pianerxi", and many literati even made a living by doing this.

Of course, besides literati, there is another type of people who benefit more, that is the stage pillars of Pianerxi. Actors belong to the lower ranks in the Great Qin Empire, but they can be famous in Pianerxi, but they can be respected by people. A well-known actor is called a "windbreaker", and every theater needs at least one "windbreaker" to sit in charge if it wants to survive.

Chu Huan naturally knew nothing about these things.

Lin Lang hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Chu Huan, you...do you want to listen to the play?"

"Why do you ask that?" Chu Huan looked at Lin Lang.

Lin Lang blushed slightly, but she still said, "You have helped me a lot, if you are willing...tonight...tonight I will bring you to the theater?"

Chu Huan shook his head.

Lin Lang immediately showed disappointment, but Chu Huan said with a smile: "If the boss is really willing to come, I invite you to listen to the show... I don't like letting women take it with me!"

Lin Lang immediately showed excitement, nodded and said: "That's fine, let's go back to the house first, change into clothes and come to listen to the play."

The carriage speeded up and returned to the Su Mansion. Chu Huan was waiting in the hall, and Lin Lang went to change clothes by herself. Not long after, Lin Lang returned to the front of the hall, but it was completely dark at this time.

Lin Lang still looked a bit shy. She was troubled by trivial matters all day long, and today she also saw that Chu Huan wanted to listen to a play, so she wanted to take him to see it, which actually allowed her to relax.

Just thinking about going to the theater with Chu Huan at night, I always feel a little nervous.

Lin Lang was wearing black clothes, a black cloak, and a bamboo hat. The black scarf covered her face, but in Chu Huan's eyes, she showed a mature young woman's demeanor.

The Opera Garden is actually not very far from the Su Mansion, and Lin Lang doesn't take a car, and feels that it is not good to go out through the gate, but goes out from the back of the house together with Chu Huan.

Chu Huan knew that she was worried about being seen by outsiders, so she was so cautious. For some reason, going out like this felt sneaky, but it made Chu Huan feel a sense of excitement.

Lin Lang was very familiar with the reception here, and it was dark, Chu Huan followed her, but there were not many people on the street.

The two were walking down the street together, but Lin Lang seemed a little nervous, with her hands on her chest, walking alone on the dark side of the street, Lin Lang gradually felt uncomfortable, and slowed down her pace.

Chu Huan faintly sensed Lin Lang's thoughts, and asked softly, "Big Boss, are you afraid?"

"No." Lin Lang hurriedly said: "I've walked this road for many years. In the past, when I was free, I often went to the big garden to listen to operas...and...what's there to be afraid of!"

Even though she said that, her voice was still a little nervous.

Chu Huan sighed lightly: "Big Boss, if you are really scared, we can do it if we don't go. Don't worry, I won't bully you!"

"Who... who said that I'm afraid you'll bully me?" Lin Lang stomped her feet with a fever on her face and quickened her pace. Chu Huan followed with a smile, turned two streets, and came to the theater.

Seeing a customer coming, the clerk in front of the door nodded and bowed his head and said, "You two want to listen to an opera? What a coincidence, the first one has just been sung, and in a short while, it will be "Hua Di Lian" sung by the windbreaker in our garden , you two are blessed with ears." A servant was called, and the servant led the two of them in, and asked cautiously, "Are you two listening to the lobby?"

Lin Lang took out the silver from his sleeve and was about to hand it to the servant, but Chu Huan took out the silver to pay first. Lin Lang glanced at Chu Huan, and then said to the servant: "I don't listen to the lobby, is there a seat in the second hall?"

Chu Huan gave a lot of money, and the boy was elated, and said respectfully: "Yes, there is, I will choose the best seat for you two, and no one will bother you."

Chu Huan didn't understand what the so-called second hall in the lobby meant, but when the servant led the two of them to a corner on the second floor to sit down, Chu Huan finally understood that the lobby of love was on the first floor, while the second hall was on the second floor .

There are not many people listening to operas in winter. There are 50 or [-] people scattered in the lobby on the first floor. From the first floor to the third floor, there is a large courtyard in the middle. From the first floor, you can directly see the roof of the theater.

The second and third floors are surrounded by railings, and beside the railings, there are small tables one after another, with tea and snacks on them, which is much better than the chaos on the first floor.

In the middle of the main hall on the first floor, there is an extremely wide stage, which is naturally the place for singing operas. It is also very clear at a glance on the railings on the second and third floors.

The second floor is obviously the best place. You can have a panoramic view of the situation on the stage. Chu Huan and Lin Lang are sitting in a corner to the west. It is said that there are about a dozen tables on the second floor, but the young man is disgusted. Yin Zi, however, was properly arranged. There were no other people on either side of Chu Huan, and they looked very clean.

Sitting side by side at the table with Lin Lang, Chu Huan looked around, but felt like watching a movie in a later life, but Lin Lang said softly: "The windbreaker in the theater often moves around. There have been a lot of things in the past two years. I'm here." Little, I really haven't heard of "Hua Di Lian" before, so I guess there is a new windbreaker from elsewhere."

Chu Huan sat next to Lin Lang, and the distance between the two chairs was extremely small. He could clearly smell the fragrance of a woman's body emanating from Lin Lang's body, and he felt refreshing.

"Big Boss, is the windbreaker male or female?"

Linlang smiled coquettishly, and said: "That's not certain, there are both men and women, but men's trench coats take up more, and some men's trench coats can be strung together into women's performances, and they are more beautiful than women."

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "Then I don't believe it. In this world, I'm afraid there is no windbreaker that is more beautiful than the big boss."

Lin Lang glared at him, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense." Then he smiled again. Although it was rather dark here, Chu Huan could see Lin Lang's beautiful smile very clearly.

At this moment, a burst of applause came from below, Chu Huan hurriedly looked, but saw a group of extras coming out from the backstage, rushing to the stage, and began to circle around.

Chu Huan said softly: "Big Boss, don't think about other things for the time being, since it's here, you can rest easy, let's listen to this show...!"

Lin Lang nodded, looked around, and finally realized that there was no one else around, only herself and Chu Huan in this dark corner, for some reason, her face flushed, her heart was a little nervous, and she couldn't help clamping the two tightly. A pair of slender but elastic legs.
