Chapter 178 Shiyuan listens to the opera and meets the prince
"Boss, how much does it cost to take this pair of scissors?"
"5 yuan."
After paying and leaving the small store, I walked under the streetlight and cut open the spring ball with scissors using the streetlight's illumination.
Here, wrapped in a folded piece of paper.
From the outside, I thought it was white paper, but when I took it out, I discovered that it was actually a piece of red paper, light red, similar to red couplet paper.
When I opened it, I was stunned. What was written here?
Written with calligraphy.
Two circles were drawn in the middle, and two large characters were written in the circles.
"Stone garden."
The calligraphy in calligraphy was neat, one stroke at a time, and it was written on both sides of the red paper: "Eight corners for the pool, five corners for the back row, two corners for the upstairs, two yuan for the four compartments, two and a half yuan for the special seats, three games today, Yu Tang Chun"
, Nanyang Tribulation, female consort.”
Turn the red paper over and write: "On the second floor of the backyard of Time Tunnel, you can listen to the opera at the corner of the Shiyuan Garden. Welcome."
I frowned and looked at this piece of red paper. It seemed like a theater ticket issued by a theater troupe during the Republic of China. It was all handwritten with calligraphy. What era was it? No one uses this kind of theater ticket now.
Who gave me this thing?
I frowned and thought for a long time, but had no idea.
"Master, are you leaving?" I stretched out my hand to stop a taxi.
"Where to go?"
"time Tunnel."
The Time Tunnel is a disco. When I was accompanying Mr. Liu in Wu'an, Handan, I had the impression that there was also a Time Tunnel in Wu'an. It was in a Double Horse or something. I forgot, I didn't go in at that time.
We arrived at the place more than half an hour later.
There is a small square at the door. There are many people pushing tricycles selling late-night snacks, and there are also many handsome men and beautiful women in fashionable clothes gathered around the carts to buy food.
Entering from the gate, you can see a deliberately arched tunnel. There is a row of spotlights installed on the wall of the tunnel. The light illuminated by the spotlights is colorful and changes the color of people's faces. Hence the name Time Tunnel.
.
Pass through the artificial tunnel and enter the disco.
Loud noise, bass The cannons kept blasting, some were drinking, some were dancing, and several beauties in tank tops and short shorts were walking around carrying trays.
The sound was so loud that it hurt my eardrums.
Suddenly, someone from behind slapped me hard.
"Ha ha!"
"Brother, you're still here!"
It was a bald old man, holding a cigarette in his hand and shouting to me loudly.
"What did you say?" I couldn't hear clearly what he said just by watching his mouth move.
"I said! Brother! Go to the private room and play!"
"No, I have something to do!" I shouted back.
After asking him about it, the bald man said that the backyard of the Time Tunnel was inaccessible. It was the boss's private area. It was locked and watched all year round and was not open to the public.
Then, the bald man hooked his hand, and soon a girl wearing a miniskirt came over.
"Brother, let me introduce to you, the most beautiful woman in the time tunnel, Xiaomi!"
"Isn't it beautiful? I'll be the host and let's go to the private room to play?"
"Let's talk later, I have something else to do," I patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
There was a blocked door past the fire escape, and there were three people blocking it. They were chatting and smoking.
Seeing me coming, one of them immediately threw away his cigarette butt, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm sorry, sir, you can't go any further. This place is not open to the public."
"I'm going to the backyard. Is there a stone garden on the second floor?" After that, I took out the red paper and he looked at it.
The man read the red paper, immediately opened the door and bent down and said: "Sir, please."
After passing through this door, you enter the backyard. There are many bonsai and green plants in the courtyard. When you look up, you can see a two-story building.
I went up the stairs, the door was unlocked, so I pushed it open gently.
The decoration in the house was very retro, with armchairs, lanterns and candlesticks. At this time, I heard the sound of pipa and hooting coming from the inner room.
There are sounds of singing and singing.
After entering, I saw an old man with gray hair, shaking his head and playing the suona hard. There was a woman in costume on the stage who was singing. This woman was wearing a large red opera robe, a fringed crown on her head, red lips and white teeth, and exquisite makeup.
.
The suona and the pipa make the listeners feel happy, as if someone is getting married here.
The woman on the stage seemed not to have seen me come in, and was still singing Huangmei Opera Girl Consort.
To save Li Lang.
After singing for about seven or eight minutes, suddenly, someone snapped their fingers, making a soft and crisp voice.
Accompanied by the snapping of fingers, the sound of opera singers, the sound of pipa, and the sound of suona, it suddenly stopped.
"You're here. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Since the light was dim and my attention had been drawn to the stage just now, I didn't notice when I came in. There was a person sitting on an armchair in the corner behind me. He was completely silent until he just spoke.
"Who is your Excellency? The red paper you sent me? We don't seem to know each other, right?"
This man is very young, probably about the same age as me. He is wearing a suit that looks very high-end. His hair is neatly arranged and clean. His facial features are straight and straight, and he is slightly taller than me.
These days, few people wear suits, let alone in a small place like Nanping. Except for someone who is married, even those who work in big companies, it is rare to see anyone wearing a suit.
"Don't be formal, sit down."
The young man politely asked me to sit down, and immediately someone brought me two cups of tea.
He looked around the room and said with a smile: "The singing is good, but this female consort really doesn't sound like she used to."
"Who are you? Why did you call me here so late?" I asked with a frown.
He took a sip of tea slowly and said calmly: "I paid the money for you."
"What!"
"You paid it for me!"
I stood up directly from the chair, frowned and asked : "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"
Before, I suspected that Sister Hong might have handed it over for me.
He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know me. Now you know me. Money is nothing. In my opinion, money is the most rubbish thing in the world."
"My surname is Shi, my great-grandfather's name is Shi Yuquan, and my family's ancestral home is Jinan, Shandong."
The surname is Shi? Shi Yuquan is from Jinan.
This name sounds a bit familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before.
Suddenly! It was like thunder in my mind!
I remembered!
Shi Yuquan! I heard it from the beggar Mr. Liu!
This man is the founder of the Changchun Society! He is also the first president of this behemoth, the Changchun Society!
My heart is shocked!
That is to say, Changchun Society paid the money for me!
If he hadn't bragged, this young man would be the current crown prince of the Changchun Society!
Seeing that my face was turning green and red, and my reaction was huge, he stood up, patted me, and said with a kind smile: "We are the same age, you don't have to be cautious. I heard that you have a good relationship with your godfather, and he also watched me grow."
The big one, he always called me Little Stone when I was a kid, haha."
"I have no other intention of inviting you here today. I just hope that you can continue to maintain your status as the senior Kudin of the Puppet Society. I will help you pay the money on time. As long as you don't say anything, no one else will know about it."
Knowing this person's identity, I felt a sense of oppression after sitting down.
The status difference is too big.
I am just a little tomb robber, and the other party is the Crown Prince of Changchun Society. He gets whatever he wants and no one dares to offend him.
Taking a deep breath, I asked him: "What good will it do to you if I keep my identity as Kudin?"
The handsome young man nodded and said: "In the long run, of course it will be beneficial."
"That old witch Zhao Qingwan is very powerful. I want to deal with her. You can help me in the future."
