On the evening of September 28, Lin Juehuai came to Wangyue Tower with two plays. It happened to be that the last play of the afternoon at the Grand Theater ended, and a large number of audiences were leaving the theater one after another while intensely discussing the content of the play. Lin Juehuai came to Wangyue Tower with two plays.
Jue observed carefully and found that most of the audience were students, probably students who stayed in Hangzhou waiting for the results to be released.
Lin Jue listened for a while, and they were discussing the content of "The Romance of the West Chamber". Lin Jue couldn't help but admire Xie Yingying's business acumen. It is indeed the most appropriate time for this play to be repeated at this time. These scholars like this kind of talent the most.
A drama about a beautiful woman spending time under a full moon, Romance of the West Chamber is exactly the story of a poor scholar who met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her. In the end, the talented man took the imperial examination in high school and returned to the beautiful woman with a happy ending. It is really the most suitable for it.
It’s a repertoire that I know of.
Lin Jue entered the theater directly. After the audience left, the theater was in a mess. Several handymen were cleaning the floor and taking care of the tables and chairs. When someone came in, a handyman said without raising his head: "This young man
, the show has ended, if you want to watch the show, please come early tomorrow."
Lin Jue said oh and continued walking to the stage, from where he could go to the backstage. The handyman frowned and shouted: "Master, didn't you hear what I said? Don't trespass."
A handyman next to him finally recognized Lin Jue and said in surprise: "It turns out Mr. Lin is here. Old man, don't scream, that's Mr. Lin."
"Who is Mr. Lin?"
"Why are you so stupid? Mr. Lin is a shareholder of the theater. He just doesn't come here often. Don't you want this job? Mr. Lin, please don't be angry. This man is so confused that he didn't recognize you. Read on.
For the sake of his lightness of work, Sir, please don’t fire him.”
Lin Jue laughed and said: "What's the point? Why should I fire him? Am I so narrow-minded? You are just busy with your business."
The two handymen hurriedly accepted and continued working. Lin Jue put his hands behind his back and walked backstage, thinking: "Even the handymen here don't recognize me. It seems that I haven't been here for a long time. I will meet Xie Danhong later.
I’m afraid a bit of nagging is inevitable.”
The candlelight was brightly lit in the backstage. After the performance, the participating women were having fun backstage, and some were taking off their makeup and changing clothes. Lin Jue saw at a glance that he was sitting on a chair, wearing a long coat and holding his chin, sitting quietly.
Looking at Xie Yingying there. The makeup on her face has not been removed, and she is still dressed like Cui Yingying. Her face is slightly dark, and she looks a little tired. Watching the two girls beside her playing with each other, there is a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Lin Jue's sudden appearance was like throwing a stone among the birds, and the women who recognized him immediately went crazy. The faces of the girls who were playing and chasing each other just now turned red, and they lowered their hands and twitched. After a while,
After waking up, they hurriedly gathered their trains and bowed.
Xie Yingying didn't see Lin Jue's arrival until now, and her gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face. She quickly stood up to greet him, curtsied and saluted.
"Thank you, Miss. Hello, ladies." Lin Jue smiled and held his hands together. Feeling the admiring eyes of everyone on him, Lin Jue felt very comfortable.
But this feeling of comfort was quickly evaporated by a loud roar.
"Oh, who is Nu Jia Dang? It turns out to be Mr. Lin. You still know how to come to the theater. Nu Jia Dang, you have forgotten that you are a theater shareholder." Xie Danhong appeared out of nowhere and said with her hands on her hips.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly, knowing that Xie Danhong would not spare him. Lin Jue smiled in apology and bowed his hands: "That's good for Sister Danhong. We haven't seen each other for a few days, and Sister Danhong is getting younger and younger."
Several women covered their mouths and laughed, thinking: Mr. Lin is a wise man. Sister Danhong likes to hear people praise her for being young. This is a perfect compliment. I am afraid that Sister Danhong will change her smiling face immediately.
Alright.
But they all guessed wrong. Xie Danhong waved her hand and shouted: "Don't come and drink me the ecstasy soup. The slave family will not accept your tricks. If Yingying hadn't stopped me, I would have gone to your Linzhai to find you. You said
, don’t you care about our Grand Theater? Don’t you care about our life or death?”
"Where do you start talking about this? Sister Danhong calm down, let's just talk about it if we have anything to say." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Xie Yingying also said angrily: "Mom, why are you doing this? Why are you scolding Mr. Lin like this in front of so many people?"
Xie Danhong turned to look at the group of women around her, glared and shouted: "What are you doing here, Du Chu? Why don't you take off your makeup, change clothes, and get ready for dinner? You are in such good spirits, do you want to have an early show tomorrow?"
After hearing this, all the women dispersed. They couldn't have a show in the morning, it would be very tiring.
All the women ran away in an instant, and Xie Danhong turned to Lin Jue and said: "It's not that the slave family doesn't want to give the young master face. It's fine that the young master hasn't shown his face for more than a month, but he must always look after him.
We have no new plays, so we have to re-perform old plays in the past two months. The old audiences are complaining all the time, if we don’t put on new plays, all the guests will be gone. You are helping outsiders get an oiran again,
Now the theaters in Qunfang Pavilion of Wanhua Building are more popular than ours. The Nu family really doesn’t understand, are you our boss or someone else’s shareholder? If it hadn’t been for the students staying in Hangzhou these days, our business would have been
I'm afraid it's going to plummet. Do you think the slave family should scold you?"
Xie Danhong slapped him in the face without giving any face.
Xie Yingying looked at Lin Jue's face worriedly, fearing that Lin Jue would be angry. She pulled Xie Danhong's sleeve and said, "Mom, it's not like you don't know that Mr. Lin can't help himself. The Oiran Competition is a major event that affects our city of Hangzhou, Your Majesty.
How could he not do anything to find him? In addition to the autumn exam, Mr. Lin also needs to study hard to prepare for the exam. How can he delay his future? Mom, don't do this."
Xie Danhong smacked her lips and said: "Do you know how to defend him? Am I an unreasonable person? No matter how busy you are, you should take the time to come and take a look. You also know that if he doesn't come, those lights, sets, etc. will be broken.
No one knows how to repair it, and no one gives guidance. Also, there must be new plays, otherwise who will come to watch the show? Hundreds of people rely on the Grand Theater for their meals. Do you think I want to say these things that no one wants to hear?
?Yingying, you protect him, but does he miss you? You talk about him every day, but he doesn't take you to heart. Even if it's not for business, he should come and have a look for you. It shows that he doesn't care about you at all.
It seems to me that all your thoughts are in vain. Let me put it more simply, you find a good man to marry, and I will sell the theater and we will be gone in one go, so there is no need to worry about it anymore."
Xie Yingying's face turned red when she heard this, and she said softly: "Mom, what are you talking about? Who... who talks about him every day? Why are they breaking up again? Is mom drunk? Why are you talking nonsense?
.”
Xie Yingying glanced at Lin Jue's face as she spoke. She was worried that Xie Danhong's words would really anger Lin Jue. If Lin Jue really slapped his ass and left, never coming to Wangyue Tower again, then this grand theater would really break up.
Yes. Xie Danhong's words were obviously angry, but her tone was also a little too much.
Lin Jue stood there with a smile and listened to Xie Danhong venting his nagging. He knew that Xie Danhong had to vent his grievances before everything would calm down. So when Xie Danhong complained, Lin Jue was not angry or said anything.
Contradictory. However, Lin Jue was a little surprised when he heard Xie Danhong say that Xie Yingying talked about him every day. Xie Yingying's behavior in front of him had always been very quiet, and it was not too obvious. He could only say that it was an interaction between him and her.
I just have a good impression. But from what Xie Danhong said, it seems that is not the case. Is it really the case?
Xie Danhong complained a lot, and the anger in her heart was indeed relieved. After Xie Yingying blamed her, she suddenly realized that she had gone too far. Who is Mr. Lin? He is not the girl in his building.
, his status is much higher than mine. Moreover, he is also a figure in Hangzhou City. He is a guest of Prince Liang’s Mansion and the Prefect’s Yamen. Why do I criticize him so much? Whether it was before or now, Lin Jue is from Wangyue Tower.
Great benefactor, if he hadn't saved her, Yingying would have died long ago. If it hadn't been for his help, Wangyue Tower would not have been brought back to life. Mr. Lin helped run this grand theater now. Without his idea, it would have been impossible.
How could the grand theater be as prosperous as it is now? Moreover, the grand theater is making a lot of money every day, which is more dignified and beneficial than the previous brothel business. But I came to complain to Mr. Lin, and I really got over it.
But Xie Danhong is a person who is soft on the inside but refuses to give in on the outside. Although she is worried that Lin Jue will be annoyed, she still wants to save face. She puts her hands on her hips and glares with a fierce look.
"Sister Danhong, have you finished scolding me? If you haven't scolded me enough, you will continue to scold me. I will bear it. But at least you have to give me a seat and make a pot of tea so that I can sit and drink tea while being scolded.
I have walked all the way here, and my legs are sore from walking." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Xie Danhong felt relieved, Lin Jue didn't seem angry.
"Isn't what I said wrong?" Xie Danhong insisted. However, he also pointed to a chair and said: "The chair is right there. Don't you know how to sit down? You are a shareholder of the Grand Theater and you are not an outsider. Do you still want to sit down?"
Can I ask you to sit down?"
Lin Jue laughed and walked over and sat down. Xie Yingying had already asked her to make a cup of tea for Lin Jue.
Lin Jue took the tea, thanked him, and said with a smile: "Sister Danhong's lessons are all right. You have to admit your mistakes and stand firm after being beaten. I didn't quibble. I did come less during this period and I didn't care about the theater."
, I admit this. Although it is also because I am too busy, I still have to show up even though I am busy. It is all my fault."
"..."
Xie Danhong was afraid of this kind of person, but when she was scolded, she greeted him with a smile. Xie Danhong immediately turned off the flames. Apart from rolling her eyes, Xie Danhong had nothing to say.
"So, I'm here today to apologize. In order to make up for my mistake, I'll treat Sister Danhong and Miss Xie to a drink tonight to express my apology."
"Who wants you to buy us a drink? The food cooked in the restaurant outside is not as delicious as the one cooked by the slave. Besides, what's the use of inviting us to drink? Did you hear what the slave said about the theater just now? Mr. Lin has to take it.
It takes practical actions." Xie Danhong said.
Lin Jue reached into his arms, took out two new scripts, shook them and said, "Sister Danhong is talking about a new drama, right? I have already written the new drama, and there are two copies."
"Oops!" Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying said in surprise at the same time. Not only did Lin Jue bring a new play, but there were two at once. This was what they were most looking forward to seeing.
"'A Chinese Ghost Story' and 'The Legend of White Snake'. The two scripts that the young master mentioned earlier have actually been written." Xie Yingying took the script, flipped through it quickly, and said to herself excitedly.
