"Master, we arrived a little late. All the private rooms upstairs have been booked. Now only the lobby has seats left. Do you want me to let you know...

···”

In the Dongting Theater, Ye Kui, who was sent to buy tickets, truthfully reported to Ye Mingsheng:

Ye Mingsheng Wenyan was a little surprised. The ticket price at Dongting Theater is not low. The cheapest seat in the lobby costs ten cents. As for the private room upstairs, it costs one or two cents, and it does not include

Any refreshments, is the living standard of the people in Liaoyang already so high now?

Although he was a little confused, Ye Mingsheng still shook his head and said:

"Forget it, don't get into a big fight when you go out for fun! Go buy some tickets for the lobby!"

"yes!"

Ye Kui nodded and took the order and left.

After a while, Ye Mingsheng and others came to a seat in the middle of the east side of the lobby. They sat on chairs and looked at the stage in front of them, and then scanned the surrounding environment. Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but praise Ye Kui for doing a good job. The place they were in

Although the position is not in the front row, the view of the opera is very good. But what makes Ye Mingsheng most satisfied is that the surrounding area of ​​this position is very quiet, which is very suitable for quietly appreciating the charm of opera...

·········

After finding a good seat, Ye Mingsheng ordered some pastries, tea and melon seeds for himself and the escorts he brought. To be honest, for performance venues like theaters, it seems that ticket money is their main source of income, but in fact the ticket money is only

It's just part of the income.

The bulk of their income comes from buying tea, cakes and other things. Things inside the theater are generally 30 to 50% more expensive than outside. However, when a performance lasts more than an hour or even two hours, it is easy to get thirsty.

When they are hungry, many people will donate generously to buy a bowl of tea, pear soup, and pastries.

Regarding the tea and cakes, Ye Kui still completed the process meticulously. Since he had a little of each item first, Ye Mingsheng could only eat it if there were no problems.

After staring for about a cup of tea, the show officially kicked off, and the first one to watch was a performance of "Yu Tang Chun"

"Su San left Hongdong County and went all the way to Taiyuan. In the spring of March, the flowers were blooming. When I saw the flowers, I felt sad and miserable. After being imprisoned for a long time and not knowing the spring, I suddenly saw the spring scenery and it became even more bitter. A while of flying birds turned their heads, birds,

Can you pass the message to me? Rumor has it that the prince of Nanjing, Su San, is in trouble. It will be difficult for me to meet you in this life, and there is no chance of our reunion..."

Although the Dongting Theater had just gone to his Governor's Mansion to sing a big opera not long ago, because this big opera was mainly sung for Ye Cui, in order to satisfy Ye Cui, the opera was sung like Bao Gong's Apology and Bao Gong's Judgment.

There are many, but there are only a few that tell the love story between Su San and Wang Jinglong like Yu Tangchun.

Therefore, Ye Mingsheng, who watched Yu Tang Chun for the first time, was very excited. I have to say that Dongting Theater can firmly occupy the top spot in Liaoyang Liyuan. In addition to Shen Yutong, the standard of other small roles is also very good, and the performances are lifelike.

Allowing people to immerse themselves in the play.

After singing the song, Ye Mingsheng was taking a sip of tea, eating snacks, and preparing for the next performance of "The Legend of White Snake". However, he felt footsteps coming towards him. Although he felt

But Ye Mingsheng didn't think much about it. Although he was immersed in the opera and relaxing, Ye Kui and the guards around him were sitting around and vigilant. No suspicious people were allowed to come within ten steps of Ye Mingsheng...

·········

From the corner of Ye Mingsheng's eyes, he could see Ye Kui approaching him, blocking him from approaching him. However, what Ye Mingsheng didn't expect was that the footsteps of the visitor were getting closer and closer, and Ye Kui, who was approaching him, did not stop him.

People, let the other person get close to you.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the visitor, and looked away from the stage.

The person who came was suddenly a young man dressed in white robes, holding a folding fan, with red lips and white teeth, and a very delicate appearance. Although this person looked like a man, he looked even more beautiful and delicate than a woman!

"Wang Qing has met my brother. I wonder what his name is? Is there anyone else at this table?" The young man who called himself Wang Qing put away the folding fan in his hand, bowed to Ye Mingsheng and asked with a chuckle:

Looking carefully at Wang Qing's face, Ye Mingsheng understood why Ye Kui let him go...

Because Ye Mingsheng was busy with chores, although he knew that this little sheep had always been by his side, he never made time for it. However, he never thought that the world was so small and that the little sheep would come to his door on his own initiative!

Looking at Ye Mingsheng in front of her, Murong Qingwu pretended to be calm, but she was still a little nervous inside. She had heard that Shen Yutong would appear today, so she disguised herself as a man to see Shen Yutong, but she didn't expect that she would be upstairs.

When I went to the private room, I saw Ye Mingsheng sitting in the lobby wearing casual clothes.

Because of some previous events, Murong Qingwu was particularly curious about Ye Mingsheng. She wanted to know what kind of person Ye Mingsheng was...

So when she saw Ye Mingsheng sitting in the lobby, she had an impulse to go to Ye Mingsheng and talk to him, even though Murong Qingwu knew very well that as a girl who had not yet left the court, she came out disguised as a woman.

The drama is already against etiquette and law. If she goes to find Ye Mingsheng again, it will damage her reputation even more if people find out.

But the idea of ​​​​finding Ye Mingsheng seemed to be a seed, deeply rooted in Murong Qingwu's heart. Because he was born in a top family like the Murong family, he was regarded as the apple of his eye by the entire family since he was a child, and his family suffered all the hardships.

Murong Qingwu's love and protection, so this also led to the fact that Murong Qingwu, who is known as the most talented woman in the world, has always acted boldly and seldom looked forward and backward. This is why she dared to disguise herself as a man and quietly followed her father's team to Liaoyang.

The reason

Therefore, Murong Qingwu at least hesitated for a moment before taking action. She felt that although she had met Ye Mingsheng once in Fengzhou before, she had covered her face with a white gauze and used the name of her cousin Murong Lianyun, and now

She was disguised as a man again, so Ye Mingsheng would definitely not recognize her...

However, no matter how much Murong Qingwu calculated, she would never have imagined that a military attaché of the Imperial Guard would have such crazy love for her!

Seeing that Murong Qingwu, who called himself Wang Qing, wanted to act with him, Ye Mingsheng happily cooperated with her and said immediately:

"My dear Ye Dong, I am the only one at this table. Brother Wang, please sit down!"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng did not recognize him, Murong Qingwu felt a burst of joy in her heart, and immediately raised her hands and said:

"This is disturbing Brother Ye!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Murong Qingwu looked at Ye Mingsheng who was very close at hand, and seemed to have thought of something before he changed his voice and asked:

"Brother Ye, are you here to see Shen Yutong this time too?"

Hearing the name 'Shen Yutong', Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised and asked:

"Shen Yutong will be on stage soon?"

Regarding Ye Mingsheng's rhetorical question, Murong Qingwu's eyes were full of disbelief. She thought Ye Mingsheng was pretending not to know but still explained:

"Shen Yutong only goes on stage at the Dongting Theater on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Today is the fifteenth day..."

Ye Mingsheng suddenly realized after hearing this, no wonder all the private rooms upstairs in Dongting Theater were sold out today. It turned out that everyone came here to admire Shen Yutong's reputation.

Sensing the surprise in Ye Mingsheng's expression, Murong Qingwu didn't believe that Ye Mingsheng didn't know. He just thought that Ye Mingsheng was pretending, and secretly complained in his heart that it was no wonder he was able to become the governor of Liaoyang. His acting skills were really good.

In Murong Qingwu's mind, she had already determined that Ye Mingsheng must be here for Shen Yutong. She had heard a lot about Ye Mingsheng's romantic affairs, such as marrying An Miaoyi home and marrying a widow.

Being a concubine and doing all kinds of things, in her eyes Ye Mingsheng is a man who is greedy for beauty!

Since such a person who is greedy for beauty comes to Dongting Theater in disguise, what does he want to do? Isn't it self-evident?

Thinking of this, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in Ye Mingsheng for some reason. Sure enough, none of the men were good, but all men were lustful...

As the saying goes, a woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea. Even though Murong Qingwu was close at hand, Ye Mingsheng still knew nothing about her thoughts. Ye Mingsheng, who had no idea about Murong Qingwu's thoughts, asked Murong Qingwu with interest.

road:

"Brother Wang, I see that your appearance is extraordinary, but I wonder where you are employed?"

After hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Murong Qingwu, who was a little angry with Ye Mingsheng, said angrily:

"What does it have to do with you?"

When Ye Mingsheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment and didn't know where he had offended Murong Qingwu. At this moment, Murong Qingwu also realized that her tone was wrong, and immediately softened his attitude and continued:

"My family runs a bookstore. I see that Brother Ye, you have a majestic and majestic appearance. I guess you are working in the government, right?"

Murong Qingwu's attitude changed so quickly that Ye Mingsheng was caught off guard. He could only sigh in his heart that women are fickle.

"Brother Wang, you have good eyesight! Ye is working in the government to earn a living!"

Although he didn't know what Murong Qingwu wanted to do with him this time, Ye Mingsheng was still looking forward to what moves she would make...

Hearing that Ye Mingsheng did not deny it, Murong Qingwu felt happy and continued his performance, pretending to be mysterious and followed Ye Mingsheng and said:

"Brother Ye, your surname is Ye! Then Liaoyang Governor Ye Mingsheng is also surnamed Ye. Could it be that you two are related in some way?"

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng became more and more interested in Murong Qingwu, so he continued the conversation and said with some pity:

"Brother Wang, you are not the first person to ask me this question, but I am not lucky enough to be related to the Governor!"

As soon as these words came out, Murong Qingwu complained about Ye Mingsheng again in his heart, and then he also pretended to preach:

"That is indeed a pity, but since Brother Ye serves in the government, you must have met the Governor, right? Can you tell me what kind of person he is? Are the reforms and new policies he implemented really for the people?

"

Seeing that Murong Qingwu couldn't help but look at her, Ye Mingsheng laughed in his heart, but pretended to be a little wary on the surface and asked:

"Brother Wang, why do you ask this?"

Feeling Ye Mingsheng's vigilance, Murong Qingwu suppressed her inner discomfort and said:

"Brother Ye, don't get me wrong! I am just a common man. I have admired Lord Governor for a long time, so I want to know more about him..."

Listening to Murong Qingwu pretending to say that he has "admired him for a long time", if Ye Mingsheng hadn't managed his expression well, he would have almost laughed out loud.

Just when Ye Mingsheng was thinking about his words and how to answer Murong Qingwu's question that asked him to evaluate himself, bursts of applause and exclamations suddenly erupted in the theater.

Ye Mingsheng looked up and saw a woman with a thin body, as white as snow, who looked pitiful while stroking her pipa and walked onto the stage. Although it was the first time to see her, she looked as good as his wife.

An Miaoyi, and the good looks of Murong Qingwu beside him, a name suddenly appeared in Ye Mingsheng's mind - Shen Yutong!

Seeing Ye Mingsheng looking at Shen Yutong intently, Murong Qingwu became even more angry, and suddenly felt the urge to change into women's clothing and show it to Ye Mingsheng...
