Double Agent Saga

The next night, Du Ziyuan and You Shaoqing's engagement ceremony was held as scheduled in the small theater with the revolving door. 【】

The small theater was closed for the day.The people in the theater worked together to decorate the small theater with colorful flowers and happy atmosphere.Boss Jia of the revolving door borrowed young and beautiful waitresses from other stores to help in the small theater.

In the auditorium of the small theater, there used to be ten generous tables, but now they were all covered with red cloth, and placed with fresh flowers and fruits, melon seeds and peanuts, and delicate bowls of tea.There are some scattered seats at the back and on both sides.Fortunately, there are not many guests, and there are more than enough to sit down.

Ye Gongjin was in troubled times at this time, and she didn't dare to make a fuss about it.Therefore, the guests invited were mainly two parts, one part was officers from the Second Office, and those with family members brought their family members.The other part was Du Ziyuan's business friends, and those who had family members brought their family members.In addition, a small number are the owners of the various shops in the revolving door.Miss Su's younger sister is engaged, so they naturally want to come to support her.

At the main table in the room, sitting first is Mrs. Su.Du Ziyuan's old father was in poor health and could not travel far.Therefore, Mrs. Su was the only elder present.

On Mrs. Su's left, Ye Gongjin and Wang Zhenqing were sitting.Ye Gongjin was able to escape bad luck this time, thanks to Wang Zhenqing's contribution.He insisted that Wang Zhenqing sit on top of him.Wang Zhenqing is Zuo Shaoqing's brother-in-law, and he can be regarded as her mother's family.

On the right side of Mrs. Su, Mr. Gu, the president of the Nanjing Bank Association, is sitting, and next to him is Boss Jia, who is at the revolving door.Both of them came with a generous gift.

Zuo Shaoqing sat down.In fact, she can't sit still, she has to keep taking pictures of the situation in the venue.

The other guests sat on the square tables on both sides and the back, but they were clearly separated.One side is mostly a straight military uniform, and the other side is a variety of suits and leather shoes.Mixed in military uniforms and suits, there are gorgeous and colorful female relatives.They are the most lively group, flaunting each other, competing, showing off their hairstyles, costumes and gorgeous makeup, as well as the bracelets on their wrists and rings on their fingers, chattering and laughing.

At this time, cheerful Western music played from the phonograph.The master of ceremonies announced loudly: The engagement ceremony of Mr. Du and Ms. Su will begin now.Only then did the guests in the seats quiet down.

The first item is the welcome person.Accompanied by two young and handsome best men, Du Ziyuan was invited onto the stage.He was wearing a white suit, a bright red tie, and his hair was combed neatly. He really looked handsome and handsome.Let the female relatives in the audience exclaim in surprise.

Zuo Shaoqing sat under the stage, forced a smile, and looked at him silently.

You Shaoqing's appearance was even more exciting.Her father had long since died in the line of duty, and the only elder present was her mother, Mrs. Su.Therefore, Mrs. Su was naturally responsible for sending her daughter off.Mrs. Su was originally a noble lady, and she was knowledgeable about books and etiquette. Although she was a little older, she had a ladylike demeanor, which attracted people's attention.When they saw the newcomer You Shaoqing next to her, all the men and women present opened their mouths.

You Shaoqing really put a lot of effort into this outfit.She was wearing a bright red satin cheongsam that reached to her feet, embroidered with bright peonies and trimmed with bright colored pieces.A pair of full-height high-heeled shoes on her feet further showed her graceful and charming figure.The short hair on the head is cut beautifully.On the face, there are willow eyebrows and blue eyes, red lips and pink cheeks, like a fairy.The guests applauded and exclaimed, their eyes widened.

Standing on the stage, Du Ziyuan watched her walking step by step, feeling somewhat conflicted in his heart.It would be perfect if Zuo Shaoqing walked towards him like this.But You Shaoqing's sincere feelings also moved his heart.He really didn't know what the future of this matter would be.

Mrs. Su sent her daughter to the stage, her face was full of joy.She took Du Ziyuan's hand and said, "Ziyuan, Qing'er is in your hands. I hope you treat her well."

Du Ziyuan bowed, "Mrs. Su, thank you for your generosity. I will treat her well."

The second item is ancestor worship.This thing is very embarrassing when it comes to handling.Neither of the two families is local, even if there is an ancestral tablet in the family, they will not bring it here.It was Du Ziyuan who came up with an idea. He asked someone to draw a portrait of the Yellow Emperor and hung it at the front.The Yellow Emperor is the "ancestor of human beings", and no one's ancestors are older than this ancestor.

Du Ziyuan and You Shaoqing, under the command of the master of ceremonies, bowed three times to the statue of the Yellow Emperor.

The third item is the exchange of gifts between the two parties.Mrs. Su had foresight, and she packed more than a dozen bags of presents, all of which came in handy at this time.There were more than a dozen brightly dressed waitresses, holding trays with gifts in both hands, walking over from both sides, bringing the gifts on the trays to the main table first, asking Mrs. Su and the distinguished guests at the main table to look at them one by one, and then On the stage, stand behind the newcomer.

The fourth item is that two newcomers exchange rings with each other.This process is the easiest to say.The ring was selected by You Shaoqing and Du Ziyuan in the jewelry store.The label says it's pure red.You Shaoqing didn't care if it was bare or not, what she wanted was the process.

At this time, she took the ring from the bridesmaid, and looked at Du Ziyuan affectionately with her eyes, thinking in her heart: Brother, I finally fell for you, I hope you like me in the future.She held Du Ziyuan's hand, and put the ring on his finger slowly and carefully.At this moment, the beauty in her heart overflowed on her face.

The fifth item is that the newlyweds offer cigarettes and tea to the elders and distinguished guests.This process is not cumbersome, but it is completed with the booing of the surrounding guests.

The engagement ceremony is now over, in fact.It's just that the master of ceremonies didn't announce it.The guests also knew that there was still a good show ahead, and they were all looking forward to it happily.

At this time, the invited theater troupe came on stage and performed the auspicious play "Jiaojiaguan".

The waitresses also began to serve wine and food to the tables.Some anxious guests have already started to drink each other.

The master of ceremonies announced loudly: "The newcomers and sisters are said to be first-class fanciers, and they will perform an excerpt for everyone in a while. Now they are putting on makeup backstage. Please wait a moment, all guests."

When Sister Zuo Shaoqing was putting on makeup backstage, something happened.Zuo Shaoqing performed on stage at the age of eight, and he is very familiar with the makeup and changing of clothes.An elderly head-tying master in the troupe, holding a cloth belt in his hand, walked behind her.She understood immediately.She pinched the scalps on the left and right sides with her hands and lifted them up.The cloth belt in the head-tying master's hand immediately strangled her forehead, once tightened it hard, and wrapped it twice, the corners of her eyes were already lifted up, and she immediately showed her vitality.

You Shaoqing ran into trouble when he tied his head.Although she studied opera since she was a child, she rarely appeared on stage, and naturally she never learned how to tie her head.I tied it twice, but it didn't work well.In the end, it was Zuo Shaoqing who walked over and lifted her scalp on both sides with both hands, and then asked the head-tying master to tie the cloth belt.You Shaoqing pouted, and rolled her eyes on her sister's face.

The same goes for makeup.You Shaoqing had never put on makeup on himself, and he was holding a brush in his hand, but it couldn't reach the corner of his eyes.In the end, it was my elder sister who pulled her over, drew her eyebrows and eyeliner with her own hands, painted her face with pink oil paint, and outlined her bright red lips.A face suddenly changed in the mirror.

You Shaoqing stared at her sister and whispered, "Sister, you are so skilled."

Zuo Shaoqing stared at her, and said in a low voice, "I have been learning opera since childhood."

You Shaoqing pursed his lips, implying something, "I'm afraid, have you ever been on stage?"

Zuo Shaoqing pulled her away, "Smelly girl, sit upright for me. After learning opera, you will naturally go on stage. You can't learn two hundred and five, so let's show it."

You Shaoqing was very upset, and quietly pinched her sister's leg under her hands, "Sister Smelly, your virtue is dead."

After putting on makeup and better clothes, the two sisters are already two actors with bright eyebrows and beautiful appearance.The entertainers of the troupe stood by, all admiring.

There was a sound of zither, gongs and gongs, and the lights on the small stage brightened up.

All the guests in the audience knew that it was the woman's two sisters who were on stage, so they all turned their eyes wide open to the stage.

On the stage, Cui Yingying, played by Zuo Shaoqing, stepped out of the door.I saw the bright tinsel on her head, the fluttering green clothes on her body, the two water sleeves like willows in the wind, and the lotus steps under her feet.A piece of noodles, red and white, pink and tender, with two water hyacinth eyes, pretty and bright.The guests in the audience immediately shouted and gave her a grand prize.

Behind her, the matchmaker played by You Shaoqing, dressed in a bright red jacket, with a white handkerchief in her hand, walked around behind Cui Yingying with a white handkerchief, which also drew applause from the audience.

Cui Yingying walked to the entrance of the stage, her eyes were only on Du Ziyuan who was in the audience, with a faint smile on her face.Of all the guests, she just wanted him to like his makeup.

She raised her orchid fingers, and sang with the sound of the piano, "The matchmaker helped me walk slowly, and wiped the small room near the west corridor. The debt of lovesickness is unsolved, and the heart is sighing hard to open."

The people in the audience were demented and applauded together.

Du Ziyuan looked at Zuo Shaoqing on the stage, and could only show a slight smile on his face.

Ye Gongjin also looked at Zuo Shaoqing on the stage.In fact, when he ordered her to be released from house arrest in Xufu Lane, he already knew that she could sing.But at that time, she just hummed casually.In front of her eyes is a real singing opera. Her pronunciation, her hand, eyes, body and steps all have a solid foundation.Ye Gongjin was really confused at this moment, the two sisters were the same in everything, not to mention singing and practicing martial arts, even the training of secret agents was the same, it was really strange.

Cui Yingying turned her head and said, "Matchmaker, let's go back."

The matchmaker just made a fuss, "Oh, miss, you've come all the time, why are you being coy again? Mr. Zhang is waiting for you inside."

Cui Yingying was shy and embarrassed, "It's not good, let's go back."

The matchmaker hurriedly grabbed the young lady, "You are here again. Such a good opportunity will be hard to come by in the future. Hurry up and spend the night with Mr. Zhang." Then she went to her and finally got her into the door.

This time, only this pretty matchmaker danced on the stage, and a handkerchief flew up and down.She also fixed her eyes on Du Ziyuan in the audience, showing her various abilities.

She stretched out her pointed index finger, pointed at the door, and shouted "Ah".

The matchmaker's singing, the song card is "Ode to the Festive Season of the Anti-Siping Tune", which was an innovation specially made by Mr. Xun for this part of the libretto, which makes the matchmaker especially lively and playful.So, the matchmaker opened her mouth and sang: "Miss, you are so handsome, Junrui Junrui, you are a great talent." The audience in the audience has already cheered.

The matchmaker was encouraged to be more playful and coquettish, and sang charmingly: "The flower heart is blooming, the bees are picking, the willow waist is gently swaying, and the jade dew is dripping into the peony stamen. (White) This young lady of our family, (singing) is half surprised Huanai again, (white) ah, act, (singing) just like the goddess of King Xiang went to the balcony."

As soon as this section was sung, the audience in the audience burst into applause and applause. Everyone had a knowing smile on their faces and their eyes shone brightly.

The little matchmaker swam around, turned to the exit door again, showed her tender voice, and shouted, "Miss, are you and Mr. Zhang okay? Let's get over it soon. Don't let it go. Don't let it go!" If Mr. Zhang is broken, there will be no next time!"

At this time, the audience in the audience burst into laughter and shouts, applauded desperately, clapped their hands and stomped their feet, opened their mouths, and laughed loudly.

This You Shaoqing was overjoyed and wanted to continue playing.But suddenly, Zuo Shaoqing rushed to the stage holding a water sleeve in one hand and a feather duster in the other.

"Stinky girl, you're not finished yet!" Zuo Shaoqing called out to her.

You Shaoqing screamed, turned around and ran towards the entrance of the stage, shouting to the audience: "Oh my god, my sister is going to hit me!"

Mrs. Su in the audience also laughed, "This girl, how can she sing like this."

At this time, the audience was filled with cheers and applause.Wang Zhenqing and Ye Gongjin also laughed.

Zuo Shaoqing chased to the entrance of the stage, and seeing his mother's smile, he threw the feather duster.She grabbed her younger sister and bowed her knees to salute the audience with a smile, blessed again and again.The applause, shouts, and stomping from the audience have already resounded.

You Shaoqing's engagement ceremony ended with applause, shouts, and stomping.
