Chapter 595: Floating Life Half-Day Leisure (Continued)
Lin Jue was so careless that he got off the car early, which caused the two girls, Lin's wife and concubine and Qianqian Baibing, to have to walk dozens of steps on the steaming streets before arriving near the Grand Theater. Lin Jue didn't care at all.
, waving her fan and looking at the shops on both sides of the street with interest. The swagger of several stunning women attracted many envious glances on the street.
"Whose family do these girls belong to? They are so beautiful. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they are like fairies."
"Brother, if you don't want to cause trouble, just shut up. I'm afraid you don't want to live. Haven't you seen those big men following you? They are all the bodyguards of the palace. Do you know who the stunning woman walking in front is? Then
But the little princess of the palace. The one in front is her husband Lin Zhuangyuan."
"Oh, is that the number one scholar Lin who was beaten to a bloody head by the prince's family and Vice Prime Minister Qian's family after being captured by a subordinate?"
"You are not stupid. He is also the owner of the Jiangnan Grand Theater. The one next to him is Lin Zhuangyuan's concubine. The two following him are unknown to each other. I never heard that Lin Zhuangyuan took a concubine again. How come there are so many
Two more are following behind?"
"Hey, it's really annoying when people compare themselves to each other. All the advantages are taken by one person. A beautiful wife, a beautiful concubine, a No. 1 scholar, and a profitable property. What more can a man ask for in such a life? Hey, when will we have such a good thing?
What about luck? Look at the person in front of you, and then think about yourself, I'm afraid you and I should just throw ourselves into the river."
"Bah, bah, bah, if you want to throw yourself into the river, go ahead and throw yourself into the river. I won't accompany you. My husband said that people must have hope. There is a beauty like jade in the book, a house of gold in the book, and a thousand bells of millet in the book... As long as I
If you are willing to work hard, sooner or later one day..."
"Stop talking, stop talking. Those guards you mentioned are glaring at us. I think we should stay away. Mo Jinhuangwu Qian Zhongsu didn't see it, so he was beaten to the ground first."
"..."
The few people in the center of the spotlight were unaware. Lin Jue even greeted the shopkeepers of some shops along the street. The shopkeepers all seemed to be familiar with Lin Jue, some bowed and saluted, and some
They bowed repeatedly and it was very lively.
When he walked to a steamed bun shop next to the theater, Lin Jue stood on the doorstep and started chatting animatedly with an old woman in the steamed bun shop.
"Auntie, your business seems to be doing well. The shop has been renovated and the store area is much larger. It seems that you are going to expand your business."
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Lin? Thanks to you, business has been booming since the opening of your Grand Theater. The business of this small shop is very good. This renovation is also for better business, isn't it?
All the people who come to the theater are dignitaries. Who likes to eat in the old squat shop? Although it cost some money to renovate, the business is better. Besides, your grand theater is so magnificent, we
The shabby houses around here seem unworthy. In short, it’s all thanks to you, the Grand Theatre. I’d like to kowtow to Mr. Lin first.”
Lin Jue hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Oh, you can't do it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me? This is all your own imagination. The Grand Theater only attracts popularity. The real business is still done by yourselves. To
If you want to live a good life and become sharp-minded, aunt will do very well. I have to go to the theater, aunt is busy. I'll take my leave."
"Don't leave, don't leave. Bring some meat buns in to eat and have a taste." The old woman made a dozen meat buns and stuffed them to Lin Jue.
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "If you can't do it, I will give you money."
"To give money is to look down on me. What's wrong with eating a few steamed buns? Mr. Lin, it's our honor for you to eat our steamed buns. Take it, why don't I kowtow to you?"
"No need to use it, I'll just take it. Thank you very much." Lin Jue took the bun and was able to escape.
Guo Caiwei, Lu Wu and others were laughing and trembling. Guo Caiwei said with a smile: "When did you know all these people? They are like old acquaintances."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "We were familiar with each other before we opened the business. These are local people. We are going to open a business here. How can we not have a good relationship with them? I have eaten at several restaurants and bun shops. They also
He has helped us a lot. This is called a strong dragon but not a local snake. Don't look at them as ordinary people. If you don't have a good relationship with them and try to trick you secretly, you will be in a lot of trouble. Our theater is open to the public.
Now, the common people in this area only help, not cause trouble. A group of idlers came here once to cause trouble, but we didn't even report it to the official, so the common people just drove away."
Guo Caiwei clicked her tongue and said: "Awesome, awesome."
Lin felt very pleased with himself. He put a bag of steamed buns into Lu Wu's hand and said, "Everyone, share it. The mutton steamed buns from my wife's house are very delicious. I think they are as good as Fan Lou's soup dumplings. What's more important is that
, one hundred cents in Fan Lou, one here only costs three cents."
Guo Caiwei glared at Lin Jue fiercely and thought to herself: "You are mocking me again for my love of spending money. Can this bun compare to Fan Lou's? I don't believe it."
…
The colorful lights hanging high on the entrance tower of the theater are extremely gorgeous. The large posters hanging on the high walls on both sides are eye-catching. The play performed today and the names of the leading actors are written in large black and bold fonts. The names of Xie Yingying, Hongxiu and others are clearly visible.
At the top. Lin Jue's name is also listed prominently at the bottom, which is the position of the play's author. As a scholar and a famous celebrity in Zhou Dynasty, Lin Jue's name can also be called a trump card of the Grand Theater.
However, Lin Jue felt a little embarrassed when he saw his name written behind a play called "Ji Xiu Ji". This play is an out-and-out work of the Grand Theater's playwriting team. It's just that they are not as famous as themselves.
He also had no right of signature, so he used Lin Jue's name. It was okay to plagiarize poems before. After all, they were either not born, or they were buried in history and never appeared at all. The authors of these plays are still alive.
, and using his own name in the Grand Theater is indeed suspected of plagiarism.
Lin Jue thought, maybe this is the helplessness of ordinary people. Maybe the author of those classics and historical collections and wonderful poems and songs in history may not have been written by him. It is probably the same as the situation in front of him. Those people are not famous at all.
No one paid attention to them, so they changed the poem and put it on the name of a famous person, so that it could be passed down to future generations. If it is true, it is indeed a confusing account.
Crowds gathered at the entrance of the theater. There was an endless stream of people sitting in sedans, riding tall horses, and riding in luxurious cars. Those who got off the sedans were all richly dressed and fashionably dressed dignitaries. These were all prominent people in the capital.
Among the upper-class people, the most popular thing in those circles recently is to come to the private rooms of Jiangnan Grand Theater to watch plays. Because the plays at Jiangnan Grand Theater are so unique, and the light and shadow effects are so beautiful that it is incredible. This is already a circle of upper-class people.
Important topics that we usually talk about here. It would be too embarrassing if you don’t know everything about these things.
Of course, the more important thing is to enjoy a good show. This was a top-notch enjoyment in the Zhou Dynasty where there were not many entertainment projects. Therefore, people flocked to it. Due to the limit on the number of boxes, the pressure on the grand theater here was huge.
Because no one can be offended, the box seats can only be sold by reservation.
There were also some people who came to watch the show on foot, but it was obvious that their families were also wealthy. Some scholars came with square steps, waving folding fans, and some secretive Xiaojiabiyu who came accompanied by maids.
, all came in a hurry. With flushed faces and excitement, they got their tickets and went into the theater.
In short, the business of the Grand Theater is really booming in the capital, and as Lin Jue has positioned it, the positioning of the middle and upper wealthy classes is very accurate. This has officially become one of the entertainment projects that this group of people are passionate about.
Although Lin Jue believes that the purpose of "art serving the public" is absolutely correct, taking the high-end route can earn more money. In this case, ideals have to bow to money, so Lin Jue can only pay attention to those who are just looking at the ticket price.
I apologize to the ordinary people who are sighing. Nowadays, ticket prices in grand theaters are generally higher, and the lowest ticket price is one or two silver for an ordinary seat at the back. The price of a box is even ridiculously high, but there is still no shortage of people willing to spend money.
High-rollers from the capital flocked to it.
When she learned that Lin Jue and the little princess came to watch the show, Xie Yingying, who was dressing up backstage, was very happy and hurriedly came to see her. She also blamed Lin Jue for not informing him in advance and neglecting the little princess. Naturally, the little princess would not blame him.
Lin Jue and others didn't want to disturb them anymore, so they went directly to the second floor.
Although the boxes were sold out, Lin Jue and others also suddenly decided to watch the show, but they did not have to worry about the place to watch the show. A dedicated box located at the side of the second floor was not used for external ticket sales, but was used during the performance.
Being on duty at the top allows you to have a panoramic view of the entire theater, which is used to detect in time any situations that occur in the theater and deal with them accordingly. To put it bluntly, it is the control room. Although the location is a bit off to the side, it is already very good.
At that moment, everyone entered the box and took their seats. After hearing the news, Xie Danhong came over to meet him. After some words, he found a special person to serve him tea and snacks. Lin Jue told her to go do her own thing, and she was not needed to take care of her here.
Xie Danhong then stepped back with a smile. Xie Danhong was the busiest before the show started. She had to take care of the front and backstage, as well as the ticket sales and gates outside. She was very worried.
Guo Caiwei sat next to Lin Jue, looked at the bustling guests below and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Grand Theater would actually open a door. How did my husband come up with this idea in the first place?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I was blind. I didn't expect that I was right."
From behind came the hidden laughter of Lu Wu, Qian Qian, and Bai Bing. This was the first time Lin Jue saw Bai Bing smiling in front of him, so he turned around and glanced at her. Bai Bing also happened to look at Lin Jue
, she was caught by Lin Jue's eyes, she quickly put away her smile and put on a serious face. Lin Jue turned around and thought to himself: This girl is really pretty when she smiles. It's strange why the boss has such a face.
