"What are we playing today..." Tongtong got out of the car and walked towards the theater.
There was a sign in front of the theater with the repertoire and the names of the actors written on it. Jiang Xinyu bought two tickets and stood at the door waiting for Tong Tong.
After a while, Tong Tong came over and said, "Xinyu, is Dingjun Mountain good-looking?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "You can't understand it anyway, it's not the same thing."
"I like to watch Hua Dan, she looks very beautiful."
"That's bad. In this play in Dingjunshan, there are everything but the female role!"
"ah?"
"Don't you want to see it yet? It's not too late to refund the tickets now. They won't refund the tickets once the show starts."
"look!"
"There is no role."
"Then watch it! This is the last time I watch Beijing Opera. If I don't watch it, I won't have the chance."
The two entered the theater and took their seats according to the table numbers.
The main stage on the first floor has square tables of different sizes, with chairs placed around them according to the number of people. The closer to the stage, the more expensive the ticket price.
In addition to the temporary residence of the theater troupe on the second floor, separated by wooden boards, there are a total of six private rooms, facing the stage downstairs.
Jiang Xinyu observed for a while. If he was the contact person, he would definitely choose the private room on the second floor. It is mainly a semi-enclosed environment and is relatively safe.
Among them, the westernmost box No. 1 is undoubtedly more suitable for secret connections, because there is a staircase just outside the door. If any abnormality is discovered, you can evacuate as soon as possible.
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment and waved to the waiter.
The waiter walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "Can I exchange my ticket for the box on the second floor?"
"As long as the private room is not reserved, you can change it at will, but you will have to pay extra."
"Okay, I'll change to the westernmost box."
"Please wait a moment."
"good."
Tong Tong said in confusion: "Xinyu, why are you changing to a private room? This is so nice, so lively..."
There were still ten minutes left before the show started. At this time, 50% to 60% of the guests were already seated. Jiang Xinyu looked around and said, "I still want to talk to you about something. There are too many people downstairs, so it's inconvenient."
Tong Tong just said casually that she was a layman, and the reason why she came to the theater today was not only to stay with Jiang Xinyu for a while, but also to watch the fun.
After a while, the waiter came back and said to Jiang Xinyu: "I'm sorry, the westernmost box No. 1 has been reserved, and the guests will arrive soon. How about changing to another room? Oh, No. 2 and No. 4
It will be all right."
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to No. 2."
The waiter said attentively: "If you ask me to change to No. 4, the price will be the same and the location will be better..."
Jiang Xinyu said: "Let's take number 2. It's convenient to go up and downstairs."
Since the customer was stubborn, the waiter couldn't say anything and hurriedly helped pay the difference, then led Jiang Xinyu and Tong Tong upstairs.
There are two staircases in the theater, and the middle staircase is considered the main staircase. Five or six adults can walk side by side without being crowded, and it looks very spacious.
The stairs next to Box 1 are mainly used to facilitate cleaning up and downstairs. The stairs are built against the wall and are extremely narrow. The two of them have to turn sideways to pass.
After entering the box number two, Tong Tong looked towards the stage for a while, then turned around and said: "Xinyu, the location is a bit off, so let's change to box number six!"
"Is it wrong?" Jiang Xinyu walked over, stood next to Tongtong and looked downstairs.
"Isn't it a bit biased?"
"It's pretty good, not biased."
"It's obviously biased..."
"You are just psychologically affected. I heard from the waiter that the fourth box is good, but I feel that the second box is too far away."
"Yeah?"
"Definitely is!"
What Jiang Xinyu was looking at was not the stage, he was looking at the stairs, and he secretly observed every guest who went upstairs.
The six private rooms are in the shape of a fan. It is obvious that the view at the edge is not as wide as that in the middle.
Jiang Xinyu wanted to experience for himself whether it was safe for the underground party to meet here. People who really came to see the theater would never sit in Box 1 when they had other options!
The guest who booked box number 1 must also know that there are boxes 2 and 4 to choose from. Why did he just choose the most remote seat?
The waiter carried a tray, tea, snacks, melon seeds and towels, placed them on the table one by one, then bowed and left.
At this time, the curtain slowly opened on the stage, and the performance of Dingjun Mountain officially began!
Most of the guests in the private rooms on the second floor have arrived. Jiang Xinyu left a crack in the private room door. If the guests in the private room No. 1 arrive, they should be able to hear the sound of the door opening and closing.
Although there are no male roles in the Dingjunshan drama, Tong Tong still watched it with gusto. She is a native Sichuan girl and knows more or less about this period of history.
"Xinyu, have you seen Dingjun Mountain before?" Tong Tong said calmly.
Jiang Xinyu looked at the stairs and said calmly: "I've seen the movie, but I haven't seen the play."
"And movies?"
"Starring Boss Tan, it should be regarded as China's first movie."
"Who is Boss Tan?"
"Tan Xinpei, the famous Peking Opera master."
"Hey, let me tell you, this old Huang Zhong is very powerful. He chopped Zhang Fei down with one knife..."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Wait a minute, who did Old Huang Zhong kill?"
Tong Tong stared with big eyes and said firmly: "Zhang Fei, named Mengde, no one can beat him. It will be unlucky for him to meet Huang Zhong!"
"Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei are on the same team, how can he kill Zhang Fei?"
"Together?"
"Yes, and Zhang Fei's name is Yide, and Cao Cao's name is Mengde."
"Then who did Huang Zhong chop?"
"That's it...Tong Tong, you'd better watch the show seriously. You'll know after watching it."
"Tell me now!"
"I'm telling you now, you're not impressed at all. Reading it yourself will deepen your impression!"
Tong Tong glanced at Jiang Xinyu and said suspiciously: "No, my fifth aunt said that Huang Zhong killed Zhang Fei? Did you remember it wrong?"
Jiang Xinyu looked at the stairs and murmured: "Whatever, I can't control whoever I want to chop..."
At this time, a man walked up the stairs. He was dressed like a rich man, with a suit and leather shoes, his long back hair neatly combed, and a pair of brown sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.
This man was about thirty-five or sixty-years-old, with a Chinese-shaped face, a mustache, and his body was somewhat stooped when he walked.
There is a dedicated waiter on the second floor who is always on duty. When he sees a guest coming upstairs, he immediately goes forward to greet him, nods and bows and says: "Excuse me, what is the guest number in the box?"
This person took out the ticket stub and handed it over. The waiter took it and took a look at it, then quickly handed it back and said, "This is your way."
After a while, Jiang Xinyu heard the sound of the door opening and closing in Box No. 1, and Jiang Xinyu knew that the person just now was the guest in Box No. 1.
If it were Jiang Xinyu, he would definitely go to the joint location to check before the joint to prevent any accidents from happening.
If this person is the contact person, he is probably here to familiarize himself with the environment!
