Zhang Shiliang left quickly, and Lin Yuan said, "Let's talk about the job recruitment when I come back."

There was a servant from Ronglu's family waiting at the door, and Lin Yuan followed him, but Lin Yuan felt strange, because they had already passed by several big restaurants, and the servant didn't have the slightest intention to stop. Finally, the next The man took Lin Yuan to stop outside a theater.

The servant said respectfully, "Lord Lin, we're here."

Lin Yuan quickly asked: "Didn't you say the dinner party? Why did you change it to listening to a play at the theater?"

The servant said with a smile: "The dinner party is just a name, it doesn't have to be a meal."

Lin Yuan thought helplessly: "It looks like I'm going to starve tonight." The servants led Lin Yuan into the theater building, and went directly to the private room on the second floor. As soon as the carved door opened, they saw Sun Yuwen Leaning side by side with Rong Lu on two reclining chairs, chatting while eating melon seeds, while two young girls gently shaking their fans beside them.

Lin Yuan wondered for a while, thinking: "Sun Yuwen brought down Rong Lu's cash cow, why Rong Lu still listens to operas with him, and talks and laughs happily."

What Lin Yuan didn't know was that although Long Wu was Rong Lu's cash cow, the tree was a tree after all, and it would fall if it fell, and after Lin Yuan said that there was a backer in the Long Wu Dynasty, Rong Lu was scared to death Long Wu gave him a lot of good things, and he was afraid that if Lin Yuan and Sun Yuwen found out these things, Emperor Guangxu, who was in a rage, would turn his anger on him, but who knew that Lin Yuan and Sun Yuwen Wen didn't investigate Long Wu's affairs deeply, so Rong Lu had a lot of affection for the two of them.

And Sun Yuwen also wanted to take the opportunity to win over Ronglu, so the two hit it off.

As soon as Lin Yuan came in, the two of them didn't get up to greet them, but straightened up and asked Lin Yuan to sit down on a reclining chair nearby. Judging from the expressions of Sun Yuwen and Rong Lu, they were no longer like themselves. So polite, it seems that these two people have regarded themselves as confidants.

Lin Yuan sat down and asked, "What are we going to hear?"

Before the two of them could answer, they could only hear the sound of Jinghu and Daban on the stage below, followed by applause like thunder. It turned out that it was Xiaodan who came out from the backstage. One is to play a young woman. In Peking opera, the actors are very particular about their appearance. After they get on the stage, they take two steps, make a posture, and then start singing.

Just a few simple moves are enough for the fans to see the way. If they are good actors, they will be full of applause as soon as they come out with a few moves. The fans would stand up and throw the teapot on the ground with a "slap", and everyone would throw snacks, plates, tea bowls, and snowflakes onto the stage as if they had received an order.

As soon as the applause stopped, the actor opened his mouth, and once again his voice was full of applause, and then everyone quieted down to listen to the play. Xiaodan sang the first word for a long time. To the fans, this word Naturally, his singing style is full of twists and turns, and it's very interesting, but Lin Yuan doesn't know how to play, so it sounds like a torture.

It’s not just that Lin Yuan doesn’t understand opera, most of the arias of Peking opera are too slow for many modern people, which doesn’t suit their taste. Lin Yuan glanced at Sun Yuwen and Rong Lu, and saw that the two had their eyes closed , shaking his head to the sound of the music, clapping his hands and feet to the music, humming in his mouth, obviously he has reached the point of ecstasy.

Lin Yuan felt his stomach growling. He hadn’t eaten yet. He glanced at the dim sum plate in the middle, and there were golden pea cakes and jade white lotus seed cakes waving to him. Lin Yuan thought to himself: “ I'd better eat it."

So Lin Yuan put the plate in front of him and stuffed pieces of cakes into his mouth, watching the two girls beside him covering their mouths and laughing. When the stage finished singing, Rong Lu and Sun Yuwen opened their eyes, Seeing that the plates on the table were empty, Rong Lu slapped his thigh and said, "Brother Lin, why did you eat all the food?" After speaking, he called a servant over and ordered, "Let Someone bring me another plate."

Lin Yuan asked, "What? Can't this thing be eaten?"

Sun Yuwen said with a smile: "This thing is for display, if you eat it, you will look like you have no identity."

Lin Yuan said "oh", and Rong Lu said with a smile: "Such a good show, Shiro visits his mother, look at the appearance, figure, and singing of that Iron Mirror Princess, you still have the heart to eat."

Lin Yuan thought about it and asked, "Master Rong Lu understands opera?"

Rong Lu waved his hand and said, "What's your name, my lord? From now on, you and I will be called brothers."

Sun Yuwen spoke at the side: "Brother Lin, you don't know how old brother Ronglu has been listening to operas for many years. Not only can he listen to operas, but he can also sing. Ordinary actors can't keep up with him."

Lin Yuan nodded and wrote down what Rong Lu likes to listen to operas. At this time, an old student was replaced on the stage. Rong Lu glanced down and said, "There is nothing to listen to in this role, let's chat for a while." " After that, he called a young boy and ordered: "Go and tell the troupe master to let this old man sing a little bit, and don't spoil our chat!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This Ronglu is really great!" At this time, Sun Yuwen smiled and said: "Well, let's divide this Longwu's stuff."

Lin Yuan quickly asked: "Divide things? What are you to divide?"

Rong Lu smiled and said: "This Dragon Five has a lot of family property, and there are many properties under the name of Long Wu. Now that Long Wu is dead, when Mr. Sun registers these things in the register, with such a turn of the pen, there will be more A lot of unowned things came out, isn't it just our few points?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "So this is the real purpose of inviting me here today." So Lin Yuan asked, "I just don't know what this dragon five has?"

Sun Yuwen smiled and said: "Let's talk about this property first, 200 million taels of silver, let's erase one horizontal line to become 100 million taels, brother Lin will take 40 taels of the rest, and then some jewellery, antiques, and jewellery. I went to see them, they are all vulgar things, and they are just handed over to the state treasury. Are these antiques? He is a street rogue who knows what kind of antiques. It is not an exaggeration to say that he does not have these things in his house, so these antiques belong to us. "

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "These antiques are all cultural relics. It stands to reason that I should take them down and protect them, but now it's time to spend money." So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You two old brothers, my younger brother usually doesn't like those things. For antiques, I love the shining gold and silver, why don't the two elder brothers take my share."

Sun Yuwen and Rong Lu's eyes brightened immediately, and they said, "Brother Lin, you have to think clearly, these antiques are priceless treasures."

Rong Lu was afraid that Lin Yuan would regret it, so he quickly said: "That's it, Brother Sun and I will keep your share of antiques, and both of our money will belong to you, what do you think?"

Lin Yuan was excited, and thought: "One million taels of silver was added in one night!" He quickly agreed.

Both parties felt that they had taken advantage of it, and were very happy. Sun Yuwen said: "After a thorough investigation, there are 28 tobacco shops and 32 brothels under Long Wu's hands. There are also some restaurants, bathhouses and so on, all of which have been confiscated. Alright, I just left ten opium dens and fifteen brothels, how do we divide these things?"

Rong Lu waved his hand lightly and said, "I'm not interested in those things, so don't count me in."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Smoke house and brothel, if these two things are in my hands, they will be of great use." So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Can you give them all to me?"

Sun Yuwen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, brother Lin can keep them all." But in his heart, he was thinking: "What does Lin Yuan want from brothels and opium dens?"
