The renovation project of Wangyue Building is also in progress. It was originally a two-story wooden building, and the renovation is quite simple. It is nothing more than opening up the hall downstairs and connecting the hall to several rooms next to it to form a larger hall.
Then there is the connection between the second floor and the first floor. The upper half of the roof of the hall was completely removed to form a perspective that can be viewed from top to bottom. Then independent boxes were built around the circle. The boxes on the first floor adopted
It is a screen partition. Several large screens are placed in a circle to form an independent small space.
After more than ten days of renovation, the entire theater has basically been renovated. At the front of the hall are private rooms surrounded by four flower and bird screens on the left and right. Upstairs is a circle of seven high-end private rooms. The number of private rooms and private rooms exceeds that of Lin Jue.
There are as many as fifteen plans.
In the hall downstairs, there are thirty small round tables. More than two hundred people can sit around these thirty tables. There are rows of wooden chairs in the back half, which are the most common seats.
.The furthest audience is only thirty steps away from the stage, and they can clearly see the performances and singing on the stage.
After everything was ready, on the afternoon of September 18th, amid the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers exploding, Jiangnan Grand Theater began his debut performance.
Starting in the afternoon, people came to watch the show in an endless stream. When Wu Shichu entered the theater, the entire theater, including the seats, was full, with more than 400 people entering. If it were not for the appearance and safety of the performance, they could still squeeze in
There were only one or two hundred people left, but Lin Jue told Xie Danhong that the rule of not overcrowding must be set from the beginning to avoid chaos and damage to the signboard.
The discount price is 30 taels for ordinary seats, and the discount price is 50 taels for the front end. The downstairs private seats are 5 taels of silver, and you can bring your family, children, relatives, and friends to sit together. The private rooms upstairs are 10 taels of silver each, and you can also bring them.
Four or five family members were seated together. There were a lot of wealthy people in Hangzhou, and there were also many people who wanted to watch the excitement. Although there were no big shots in the private seats and private rooms, they were all idlers from well-off families, but this was enough.
At the end of the day, the drama began. "Du Shiniang" performed on the night of the Oiran Competition was staged again. This time Lin Jue made some necessary changes, and added a lot of gimmicks to the lighting special effects. The final ending was to make the people happy.
They felt comfortable watching and would not feel depressed. They arranged for Du Shiniang to appear in the form of a ghost, severely punished Sun Fu, and brought Sun Fu into the eighteenth level of hell. He also punished Li Jia, making him stay away from his wife for the rest of his life.
Unscrupulous. These changes greatly cater to the audience's psychology, allowing the people to get the pleasure of revenge after experiencing the sadness of Shiniang throwing herself into the river.
For an hour, the audience was mesmerized, immersed in the atmosphere created by the plot and the ingenious special effects lighting. When the performance ended, all the audience were satisfied. Their faces were flushed, and some even had...
With tears in her eyes, she walked out of the theater with a proud expression of being the first to eat crabs.
"Hey, how's it going? Does it look good?" the people watching outside asked in a hurry.
"Hehe, don't mention it. Damn it, fifty cents is worth it, it's really worth it. I won't say it any more. I have to go home and tell my mother that she has never enjoyed anything in her life. I don't care.
If you want to carry her here, you can watch a play without any regrets." Someone watching the play replied.
"...So exaggerated?"
"Believe it or not, I will regret it if I don't look at you."
These people came to watch, but they just didn't get tickets. After hearing such good reputation and hearing that there was only one show today, they immediately became excited and clamored to go in. As a last resort, Xie Yingying had to let go
Don't take off your makeup, everyone, and play again, and then there was another performance.
After that, Xie Yingying came out and apologized to the people who were waiting for the next show around the door, telling them that they couldn't stand it and if they wanted to watch it, they should come early tomorrow. In addition, the people who had seen it persuaded everyone, and this was considered a successful conclusion.
In the evening, Xie Danhong happily started counting money in the room on the second floor. There was a table of copper coins and broken silver. After counting several times, he got the number of two hundred and thirty taels. At this time, Xie Danhong breathed a sigh of relief. Before
All her worries were gone. Today's income was far beyond her imagination. The income of more than two hundred taels of silver a day was hard to compare with even many big merchants.
The one who is even happier is actually Xie Yingying. This is the first time that she has earned a lot of money just to please her patrons as a brothel oiran. Naturally, it has a special meaning.
Lin Jue lazily leaned back on the chair and looked at the two women who were looking at each other, feeling quite happy. This plan was off to a good start. As long as nothing went wrong, it would be a way to make money. And all of this was
This is just the beginning. If all subsequent plans go smoothly, this industry can be said to be making money every day.
"Master Lin, I kowtow to you. If Master Lin hadn't pointed the way, how could such a good thing have happened?" Xie Danhong came forward with a smile and saluted Lin Jue. Xie Yingying also stood up, admiring her eyes with smiles.
Look at Lin Jue.
Lin Jue smiled and said, "I'm afraid Mom was worried before, right?"
Xie Danhong said angrily: "Why do you still call me my mother? My family has become a good person. I call you sister."
Lin Jue rolled his eyes and said, "Let's call her aunt. It will mess up the seniority."
Xie Danhong sighed: "That's all, people are getting older. Speaking of which, the slave family really didn't expect that they could earn more than two hundred taels of silver a day. This is a great way to make a fortune."
Lin Jue smacked his lips and said: "It is a way to make money, but it also depends on whether you have the life to make money. If this continues, this way of making money may be cut off."
Xie Danhong was startled and said, "What do you mean, Master?"
Lin Jue pointed at Xie Yingying and said: "You don't want to see how tired Miss Yingying is. Hurry up and recruit people and train the pillars according to the plan I gave you. Otherwise, everyone will have to die from exhaustion. Those supporting characters are all tired.
She's lying down, let alone Miss Yingying."
Xie Danhong suddenly said: "Yes, yes, this matter must be dealt with quickly, otherwise it will be a real trouble. I wish I could perform ten shows a day, but it is too much for people."
Lin Jue nodded with a smile and stood up, looking at the sunset outside the window and said: "I have to go. Today's premiere went so smoothly that it's hard to believe. From now on, you two will need to worry more. In short, there will be a new drama every month."
Next month is "The Peony Pavilion", and the month after that is "The Romance of the West Chamber". You don't have to worry about the script, I have plenty of it. I can't get involved in daily matters, so if you need anything, ask someone to send me a message.
, let’s meet and discuss it later. I’m leaving.”
Xie Yingying stood up with a slight smile and said, "I'll give it to you."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "No, no, you'd better have a good rest. You have to perform tomorrow, so you must take good care of yourself."
Xie Yingying smiled and said: "How can it be so valuable? I will definitely give it as a gift."
Xie Danhong laughed at the side and said: "Yes, yes, no one can give it away. Mr. Lin must give it away. Yingying, please give it to Mr. Lin well." Xie Yingying said with a smile: "I will do it."
Lin Jue had no choice but to go downstairs with Xie Yingying one after another. When passing by the hall, Lan Niang and two people were cleaning the place, wiping tables and benches. Seeing Lin Jue coming, Lan Niang and the two women stood still.
Everyone in the building knew that this idea was Lin Jue's. The women in the building were full of gratitude and gratitude to Lin Jue, and they always maintained respect.
In order to avoid being noticed, Xie Yingying put on a veil, put on a simple long coat, and went out from the back door with Lin Jue. The two walked slowly along the street along the bank of the West River. Dozens of large ships were fully loaded in the West River at sunset.
The goods are slowly sailing to Beicheng. Several large ships are carrying big flags with the word "Lin" written on them. Those are the large ships of the Lin family.
"Good luck with the grain harvest!" Xie Yingying said softly.
"Well, it started three days ago, and today is the last batch. The fleet is gathering in the canal and will go north tonight." Lin Jue nodded.
"Your Lin family is really a big family, but it's a pity..."
"It's a pity that I'm a bastard, so all this has nothing to do with me, does it?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
"The Nu family didn't mean that. The Nu family said that with Mr. Lin's talents, character and knowledge, if they accepted you, it would be a huge help to the Lin family. Instead, Mr. Lin helped us outsiders." Xie Yingying said softly.
road.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "This is called Daji Tianxia. The old and the old are like the old of others, and the young and the young are like the young of the people. The world is one family."
Xie Yingying chuckled and said: "You are really good at laughing at yourself. Mr. Lin, the slave family often wonders if they have accumulated virtue in the previous life, so they met the young master. Although she is tired today, Yingying is very happy. This is what Yingying thinks
I don't have to bear the reputation of the flower world or the name of courtesan. The sisters are also very happy. You not only saved my life, but also saved my whole life."
Lin Jue smiled and waved his hands: "Don't say that, I will be embarrassed. In fact, the most important thing for people is to save themselves. You are not you, and I can't help you if you were anyone else. Liu Bei's son is called Adou, so
Many people helped him, but no one like Zhuge Kongming could help him or lift him up. It can be seen that external force is actually useless, and the main thing is to rely on oneself."
Xie Yingying said softly: "Thank you, your way of praising others is very useful to me. But after all, you saved my life. I can't save myself in that kind of thing."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "It's a coincidence, and you don't deserve to die, so you are here today."
"That's fate." Xie Yingying said softly.
"What?" Lin Jue asked, not hearing clearly.
"Nothing, Yingying didn't say anything." Xie Yingying said.
"Oh, Miss Yingying, please send it here. There is no need to send it any more. Anyway, I will be here every few days when the school has a holiday. Girl, play well. We are not going to be courtesan in the flower world, but we want to be the star of the drama. We can still gain fame.
Spread far and wide, becoming a legendary figure of a generation, respected by others."
Xie Yingying smiled and nodded and said: "Young Master has high expectations for me. How dare I slack off? Young Master can leave easily, but Yingying won't send him off."
Lin Jue Gong cupped his hands, turned around and strode away. Xie Yingying stretched out her white palms to hold on to the wooden railing on the shore, staring blankly at Lin Jue's handsome back under the setting sun, looking a little obsessed. Until Lin Jue's figure merged into the crowd.
, it was hard to find a trace anymore, Xie Yingying sighed slightly, turned around and left slowly.
