"Nowadays, more and more guests like to come to Goulan to listen to operas. The venues used to be a bit small. I plan to rent the surrounding land as well, so that each venue can be expanded by 50%, or it won't be long. It can’t accommodate that many guests.”
When walking inside the Goulan again, Wan Ruoqing pointed to the neatly lined up tents and said to Li Yi.
Li Yi nodded and said, "You can decide these things. If you want to rent more land, I'm afraid you have to go through the government. I will inform County Magistrate Liu."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly came from beside him. Li Yi looked back at her and asked, "Didn't you eat?"
Wan Ruoqing blushed slightly, and said, "I ate a little in the morning."
Li Yi looked up at the sky, the sun was almost westward, and said with a frown, "No matter how busy you are, you can't stop eating. You don't need to do many things yourself, just let the people below do it... Let's go, go out to eat something."
Wan Ruoqing shook her head and said, "No need, the fence will be closed soon..."
"Let's go, I happen to be hungry too." Li Yi didn't wait for her to continue, and walked outside first.
Wan Ruoqing was startled, and had no choice but to follow.
Kyoto is no better than Qing'an Prefecture. The curfew system is strictly enforced. Except for a few days every year, no one is allowed to walk on the street after 8:00 pm. The earth is rectifying the law, even if you die, there is nowhere to redress your grievances.
Therefore, when the sky gradually darkened, the guests in the Goulan reluctantly withdrew from the inside, waiting to come back tomorrow.
"I don't know who wrote the newly released "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". I almost cried just now!"
"What is this? I'm forty years old this year, and I was crying like a four-year-old just now..."
"If someone hadn't stopped me just now, I would have rushed up and beat that Ma!"
…
…
Judging from the reactions of everyone, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is another successful play after "The Legend of the White Snake". Think about it, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is one of the four major love stories in the folk world. It has been passed down for nearly two thousand years and is still talked about by people. The maid at home secretly hid in the corner and watched, crying like hell - and then he deducted a month's wages.
It's only the beginning of the month, and the regular money of the maidservants has already increased fivefold. If it continues like this, it will be too prodigal.
"What are you doing? These days, Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai has been working for you. Where has Lady Bai gone? Why does Miss Qing never come out..." A voice of dissatisfaction came from behind, and the speaker could be heard to be thick. Strong resentment.
Li Yi looked back and saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walking towards him.
A man behind the middle-aged man immediately said: "Back to Lord Wu, I asked just now, and they said that there is no Bai Niangniang in this period of time. If you want to see it, you must book the venue, but the price will be expensive..."
"Price? Will Fifth Lord care about that little money?" The middle-aged man walked past Li Yi and Wan Ruoqing, and said, "You can arrange it tomorrow. Anyway, I want to see Lady Bai tomorrow..."
"Don't worry, fifth master, leave it to me..."
The big man hurriedly followed, and when he passed by Li Yi, he paused, turned his head slightly and nodded, and strode to follow again.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Yi standing there, Wan Ruoqing asked in confusion.
Li Yi looked away from the big man, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it seems that "Legend of the White Snake" is quite popular, and there are two more shows every day these days. After all, radishes and vegetables have their own preferences. It's weird."
Wan Ruoqing nodded, to her, this was nothing more than a sentence.
The place where Gou Lan is located is not the bustling area of Kyoto. There are not many places to eat around. In addition, it is almost night and many shops are closed. It is hard to find a steamed stuffed bun shop that is about to close. Li Yi looked at her , asked: "Do you want to eat two buns first?"
Wan Ruoqing nodded, she lived a poor life since she was a child, and for a long time, buns were considered a luxury.
Seeing someone walk in, the guy looked up and said, "There are only four buns left, eight cents."
Four is four. Fortunately, it was still hot. Li Yi didn't bring any money with him, and was about to let Na and the guards not far away come over. When the guy saw Wan Ruoqing standing outside, he froze for a moment, and waved his hand Said: "Forget it, there are only four left, you can take them all, no money!"
Li Yi was startled, and immediately realized that he was crushed by Wan Ruoqing in terms of appearance.
"Eight cents is also money, why don't you want it? Does your boss know that you are so generous?" Li Yi asked the guard to take out the purse, carefully counted out a few, patted it on the table next to him, and stared at the guy coldly. He said: "Is my son short of this eight Wen?"
The guy stood there in a daze, looked at the copper coins on the table, then at the strange guest who had disappeared, and murmured: "Two coins are missing..."
…
…
The buns were not big, Li Yi finished one quickly, and Wan Ruoqing only took two small bites of the bun in his hand.
Thinking of the scene that happened in the bun shop just now, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"You guys should know about the martial arts conference, right?" Li Yi turned to her and asked after eating the second bun.
Wan Ruoqing nodded, and said: "They have already sent a message, and several other state capitals have also sent fast horses to send a message that the waterway that people going to Qing'an Mansion will arrive tomorrow, and it will only take a month. It can be thoroughly publicized.”
Ms. Liu Er and Gou Lan complement each other and penetrate each other. The hero list needs to use Gou Lan to promote, and there will also send people to help maintain the law and order of Gou Lan. For the martial arts conference, those martial arts people are more active than them. The role of Gou Lan, It is to expand the influence of this matter among ordinary people...
The sky was getting darker and darker, Li Yi looked at her and said, "It's getting late, leave the matter of Goulan to them, and I'll take you home."
Wan Ruoqing nodded, handed him the last bun left in his hand, and said, "There is one bun left, I can't eat it anymore, do you want it?"
Seeing Li Yi shaking his head, Wan Ruoqing looked around, and suddenly walked a few steps aside quickly, and put the bun in a beggar's bowl in the corner.
"Let's go." She came over and said to Li Yi with a smile.
…
…
A figure in ragged clothes, shrunk in the corner, at a certain moment, the body suddenly shook, took a few breaths, saw a steamed bun in the bowl in front of him, immediately became short of breath, immediately picked up the steamed stuffed bun, gulped the bite...
For him who hadn't eaten anything for three whole days, a life-saving steamed stuffed bun had an extraordinary meaning.
He raised his head, only saw the side face of the woman under the sunset glow, the movement of his hands stopped, and the bun fell to the ground.
"The Queen of Heaven!"
The figures of Li Yi and Wan Ruoqing drifted away, and a guard following them saw the beggar who suddenly fell to the ground, kowtowing madly in a certain direction, and murmured: " Isn't it just a steamed stuffed bun... As for it?"
He shook his head, took a few steps forward, looked back again, sighed, walked over slowly, took out a piece of broken silver from his waist, and put it in the broken bowl in front of the beggar.
After an unknown amount of time, the beggar, whose forehead was dripping with blood, finally stopped, picked up the dirty bun, and looked at the direction in which Empress Tianhou left, with a pious expression on his face.
After a long time, he turned his gaze back from a distance, and inadvertently glanced at the broken bowl in front of him...
The bun in his hand fell to the ground again.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
…
Someone around came out of the house, looked at the beggar in the corner, sighed and shook his head.
"This beggar is probably crazy..."
"I see he's been lying there for three days, it's pathetic."
"Give him something to eat, if he really dies here, it will be a troublesome thing..."
