The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 89
[Chapter 89 Nie Xiaoqian]
No matter whether it is possible or not, once you have done this, there is no turning back.
As if anticipating the cold reception on the first day, Old Man Sun sighed and said to Zhang San: “Send someone to the door to inform you that today is the first day the theater is open, and everyone can enter for free.”
Although the hook bar is now called Building the Capital Grand Theater has nothing to do with him.
But after all, after staying here for more than ten years, there are some things that no one is more familiar with than him.
Therefore, Fang Xiu did not let him leave, but asked him to be the manager of the Beijing Grand Theater, and the steward of Fang Mansion was his deputy.
Zhang San was originally staring at the curtain. When he heard these words, he hurriedly bowed and said: “Yes, noble man.”
After saying that, he walked out of the theater.
At the entrance of the theater, there was a buzz of people, and at a glance, they were all moving figures.
But…most of them maintained a wait-and-see attitude, and no one stepped forward to buy a ticket.
Zhang San was just a boy serving tea and water. He had never spoken in front of so many people. Looking at the black sea below, his legs couldn’t help but tremble.
Forcing himself to calm down, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly: “Today is the day when our Beijing Grand Theater opens its doors. Anyone can get a ticket for free at the box office, enter with the ticket, and enjoy the show!” As soon as
these words came out !
, the crowd suddenly broke into a burst of heated discussion.
They don’t understand that since it’s free, why do they need to get a ticket and enter with the ticket? Isn’t this unnecessary?
In fact, Zhang San didn’t understand why it had to be like this.
But Mr. Fang ordered this matter, so he could only do it.
There are so many people gathered at the entrance of the Capital Grand Theater, which shows that there are many people interested in it.
No one bought a ticket, they just didn’t want to be the first to take advantage of it.
In addition, it is also because the ticket price is a bit expensive.
Of course, this is only relative to the original check column.
At this moment, when they heard that anyone could get tickets for free, everyone naturally rushed forward.
However, they were not rushing to the ticket office, but to the Grand Theater.
Since it’s free, who’s going to get the ticket? Isn’t this just for those who are full?
When Zhang San saw this scene, his expression changed, and then he broke into a cold sweat.
Before Mr. Fang entered the palace for duty, he made it very clear to them that no one should be allowed into the theater easily.
You must have a ticket to enter the theater!
Just when he was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.
A slightly bloated figure appeared at the door of the theater. Looking closely, it was Bai Xiaochun, the young manager of the Fang Mansion!
Bai Xiaochun looked at the crowd that was swarming up. There was a hint of ferocity on the face that was respectful in front of Fang Xiu, and he shouted: “Enter by ticket, all go to me to get the ticket!”
Many people saw this scene, with fear on their faces. With a look of disbelief, he subconsciously took a step back.
But after all, he still didn’t leave.
Only a few people walked out of the crowd, went to the ticket office, lined up, and collected their tickets.
In the crowd, there were several strong men. Taking advantage of their height and strength, they took two steps forward, looked at Bai Xiaochun, and said coldly: “I’m not going to get the ticket today. I’ve seen this trick. What can you do?”
“How about it?”
Hearing
this, Bai Xiaochun sneered twice, stared at the man who spoke, and said fiercely: “Hit me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, several sturdy Fang Mansion guards came from behind. He walked out sideways, pinned down the man who was speaking, and beat him severely.
Suddenly, a miserable scream came from the entire theater entrance.
The rest of the people trembled when they saw this scene, and the few men who were originally planning to force their way in were even more frightened and speechless.
If you just go to the theater, if you don’t get a ticket, you won’t get a ticket. The worst thing you can do is not watch it. Is that what it’s like?
Seeing a group of burly men punching and kicking the man who was making trouble in broad daylight, several of the men who had previously been making trouble began to think of retreating and turned around and left as if running away.
Most people just dispersed and queued up in front of the ticket office obediently.
This time, there was much less queue jumping.
Standing under the plaque of the Capital Grand Theater, Bai Xiaochun looked at the people lining up and spat hard, thinking to himself.
The young master is right. When encountering this kind of thing, fists are the best solution!
With Fang Mansion’s guards on duty, everything became orderly.
People lined up, collected their tickets, and walked into the theater one by one.
The curtain on the stage has not yet been opened, and the figures behind the curtain are more frequent. It is obvious that the final preparation stage has been reached.
The man who had been beaten violently before, with a bruised nose and face, walked into the theater holding a wooden sign.
I got a beating for nothing, but if I didn’t come in and take a look, I always felt like I was losing a lot.
In addition, the important thing is that he has to watch the Capital Grand Theater make a fool of himself, so that after leaving, he can have a good talk with others.
I lowered my head and glanced at the ticket in my hand. It was actually just a small wooden sign.
The words “Nie Xiaoqian” are written on it, indicating that the first performance in this theater is “Nie Xiaoqian”.
I used to watch a lot of plays and read a lot of books at Goulan.
Although he has never read “Nie Xiaoqian”, he has heard that Mr. Shu has told it countless times, and he is already familiar with the plot.
Therefore, when I saw that the first program was “Nie Xiaoqian”, I couldn’t help but feel a little more excited.
But as if he thought of something, his face darkened again.
He cursed in a low voice: “Nie Xiaoqian, they are the ones who can perform, just don’t ruin Nie Xiaoqian, that’s fine!”
When the others heard this, they nodded in unison.
The dramas of Chu State are somewhat similar to the Peking Opera of later generations. How could Nie Xiaoqian perform such a story about ghosts and gods?
This was the first show at the Capital Grand Theater. I was afraid that it would be smashed. When
the man saw everyone nodding, he couldn’t help but feel a little proud in his heart. He was about to say something else, but he heard the waiter on the stage knocking a gong.
They knew immediately that
the show was about to begin.
At this time, the seats in the venue were almost full, and it could be said that they were packed.
However, because the tickets are fixed, no one is standing around. Compared with the previous check-bar, the environment is much better.
Even the air is much fresher than before.
Only those in the platoon were treated like this, so those people had to know where the extra copper coins were spent.
The curtain opened, and several more figures took their seats.
Someone has already walked out on the stage.
Everyone in the audience was stunned when they saw those figures.
These actors are not as heavily made-up as expected, and their clothes are almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.
It’s refreshing, and some expectations can’t help but arise in my heart.
Maybe these people can really play “Nie Xiaoqian” well?
Many people started talking in low voices when they saw this scene.
But soon, these sounds stopped abruptly.
Because, the show has started.
The first person to appear was a young man dressed as a scholar, carrying a baggage and walking onto the stage.
The theater is closed, so although the sun is shining outside, it’s a little dark inside.
Through the candlelight, you can vaguely see the scholar’s face. In this environment, it is a bit eerie
