220, if you give me three days of light (please complete the order)
Theater tickets, small gifts.
Bai Gui reached out to take it, handed it to Bai Xiuzhu casually, and started to take a look at it.
This is a theater ticket for "Tianhe Tea Garden".
Box tickets.
It's stamped with a red stamp.
The places to watch theater in Yanjing are not limited to theaters. Tea gardens are the most popular places to watch theater. Among the major theaters in Yanjing, many famous theaters are actually tea gardens. Most of them were originally sold after gathering business.
After tea, we invited storytelling, Jingyun drums, cross talk, shadow puppets, acrobatics, and clappers. After the drama review, it gradually became lively and became better and better. We built a theater and started selling operas.
This is easier to understand. If you open a theater first and fail to hire a famous class, you will probably lose money. But if you open a tea house, it will not be a big loss. If you add little by little, the business will be good and you will have a foundation.
If it can sell out the tickets, the theater will be lively.
"Thank you very much, Sister Huichang."
Bai Gui smiled and took it in his arms.
Giving away theater tickets is a common social behavior in this era.
To be honest, he has never been to a theater these days.
There was too much entertainment in later generations, so it was not unreasonable for opera to be lonely. It was easy to move from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to move from extravagance to frugality. It was natural that he was not interested in opera. There were not many young people in later generations who liked opera.
When you say you like something, you just keep it in your mouth.
However, opera accounted for a large part of the entertainment life at this time and became more and more prosperous.
They all complement each other!
There are things that emerge in each era. When they become desolate, it’s not because the opera has no taste, but because the times have changed.
"Huichang, where is mine?"
Mrs. Bai smiled, raised her eyebrows, and had sharp eyes.
She couldn't give Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu a chance to be alone in a private room. This would be a big problem.
"See what you said, Mrs. Bai, I'll prepare it for you too."
Cheng Huichang had no choice but to take out another ticket and handed it to Mrs. Bai's hand.
Mrs. Bai then smiled.
Although private room tickets are sold directly to a private room, in fact, when you book a private room, the store will often give you several private room tickets. When the time comes, you can enter with the ticket, and the number of people cannot exceed the number of tickets.
Otherwise, there would only be room for four people in the box.
If there are too many people, the store will lose money.
After all, it is not as high as the ticket price of selling a single seat.
That's why Mrs. Bai asked this question.
Bai Gui saw this.
I sighed secretly in my heart.
The great opportunity was ruined by Mrs. Bai.
This was just a small episode in the banquet, and other things were soon discussed.
Bai Gui also admired these women, they were really interested in talking, they talked without stopping, and they didn't feel tired after talking for an hour or two.
"Brother Meihe, please guide me in my homework..."
"None of them are willing to guide me in my homework. You are sir, so you can definitely do it."
Jin Meili trotted down the stairs and looked at Bai Gui with a pleading look on her face. There were tears deep in her eyes, as if she was about to burst into tears the next second.
Isn't that right? In the whole family, except for her who is in school, everyone else has nothing to do, so we can't force her to study hard.
Beating a child on a rainy day is just idle time.
"Okay, okay, I will guide you in your homework."
Bai Gui pulled away and walked aside, ready to teach Jin Meili how to study.
Talking to these women was fine at first, but over time it became a little torture.
"Well, this is a text for a blind girl."
"Helen Keller."
Bai Gui read a section and nodded.
He instructs Xiao Qianyo in his homework, and the texts above are mostly Japanese poems, while he instructs Jin Meili. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, most of the Chinese textbooks are translations of European and American articles. This is normal, and this is what church schools do.
The Blind Girl is actually "If You Give Me Three Days of Sight".
However, Chinese textbooks would not give such a long name and simply replace it with "blind girl".
Helen Keller wrote this book in 1903. According to the communication methods at that time, coupled with the speed of circulation, it was impossible for it to become popular in the country so quickly. It was probably promoted by church schools.
"The teacher asked us to sew a rag doll based on this text after class..."
Jin Meili pointed to the topic at the back of the text and said crisply.
Bai Gui: "..."
"This is what the sewing class is about."
Bai Gui's face turned dark. There is one class that always exists in girls' schools from junior high school to high school, and that is the "Sewing" class. He has also seen such unreasonable requirements in Chinese textbooks, but fortunately he teaches in the university department.
Some parts have been skipped.
Now that Jin Meili is still in high school, it is normal for her classes to be mixed.
"Yes."
Jin Meili held her chin up and looked at Bai Gui expectantly.
"If you have little talent and little knowledge, you may not be able to do the job and you may not be able to obey your orders."
Bai Gui resisted the urge to hit Jin Meili. Now that Jin Meili was not too young, she was eleven or twelve years old, so it was definitely not suitable for him to hit her. He could only say these words forcefully.
"What's the meaning?"
Jin Meili's ancient prose was not very good, and Bai Gui read it quickly, which made her stunned.
"I can't do it, thank you."
Bai Gui explained helplessly.
"Brother Meihe can't even sew rag dolls, so what kind of gentleman are you..."
"I don't want to transfer to another school."
Jin Meili walked to where the ladies were chatting, held up a Chinese textbook and accused.
"Meili, is it because I haven't dealt with you recently?"
The second concubine looked slightly shocked. She said she was the second concubine of the Jin family, but her status was far different from that of Mrs. Jin. Now Jin Meili is laughing at Bai Gui. Jin Meili is young and will not be burdened. It is her own mother who is in trouble.
.
Unfilial daughter!
"Second aunt, there's no need to be angry. It's a child. It'll be fine after a beating."
Bai Gui suddenly realized.
It turned out that the second aunt was muttering that she wanted to transfer Jin Meili to another school, so Jin Meili came over to tease him, making everyone think that he had no talent and did not need to transfer to another school.
This is normal!
Students have been in school for a long time and have classmates and friends. Changing schools rashly is equivalent to giving up friends. Parents obviously don't care about their children's opinions and value their future more, so this happened.
But no matter how he understood it, he still had to fight when he should.
The second aunt breathed a sigh of relief, got up immediately, and took Jin Meili to another room. Then there was a loud howling and crying sound, like a pig being killed.
Although Jin Meili is young, such ugly appearance cannot be shown to outsiders.
Even if it is equivalent to a family member.
Will not work!
After a while, Jin Meili, with red eyes and half rubbing her buttocks, was taken to the front hall by her second concubine, and they continued to talk as if nothing happened.
"Actually, I personally don't mind it that much, but Meili is still young and needs more education."
"Otherwise, when you grow up and have a certain nature, it will be difficult to educate..."
Bai Gui was very "vindictive" and suggested to his second concubine.
"you……"
Jin Meili's beautiful eyes suddenly changed, she stared at Bai Gui and gritted her teeth, as if she was looking at an enemy.
I wish I could eat its flesh raw.
"Meili, don't be angry. Sister Xiuzhu will apologize to you."
Seeing this, Bai Xiuzhu comforted her.
"No, you have changed since brother Meihe came back. You support him in everything..."
Jin Meili curled her lips and said disdainfully.
However, after being comforted by this, the angry look disappeared. However, when talking to Bai Xiuzhu again, he inevitably glanced at Bai Gui occasionally and continued to be "hatred".
