Me and my Jianghu Tavern

"This guy just eats and sleeps all day. How can he not get fat?" Zhang Ming said. When he saw the shop on the street, he paused and asked, "Is there anything I want to buy?"

Su Tan shook his head and said, "Didn't I come out with Miss Jiang today, I don't have anything I want to buy."

Jiang Rou was walking on the street looking left and right. She hadn't gone out for a long time, so she bought a lot of things on a whim, but they were all for Uncle Zhang to hold, and Uncle Zhang naturally didn't complain.

As soon as Jiang Rou turned her head, she stopped halfway. She looked at the pavilion with the door wide open, and asked doubtfully, "Is the Jianghai Theater open?"

Jiang Rou turned her head, looked at Zhang Ming and Su Tan who were following behind, and said, "Why don't we go to the theater?"

Zhang Ming came back to his senses and looked towards the entrance of the theater. There was a signboard hanging on the gate, and he could see the four characters 'Jianghai Opera Garden', and there were also opera sounds from inside the building.

Zhang Ming looked at Su Tan and asked, "Are you listening to an opera?"

Su Tan stepped forward and said, "Today I am accompanying Miss Jiang, let's go shopkeeper."

Several people entered the theater just like that.

The theater is not big, and the stage is set in the lobby. Most of the folk theaters are Goulan, and such a high-end theater is rare.

But it's not that particular. It's not like some places where only dignitaries can enter.

This theater doesn't seem to pay much attention to these things, they just need to find a place to sit down, and of course the people present are too embarrassed to listen to the play for nothing, and they will give them a few cents for tea money or tip money.

"This theater is very interesting." Zhang Ming asked, "Do you know which one opened it?"

The theater is opened in such a place, but it only costs a few pennies for tea, so I'm afraid it won't make it back.

Jiang Rou obviously didn't know this, so she had to look at Uncle Zhang, only to hear Uncle Zhang reply: "The backside of Jianghai Opera Garden is Marquis Pingjiang of Chang'an."

When Zhang Ming heard this word, he felt a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered it, and said, "Young Master of Pingjiang Hou's Mansion, Jiang Baichuan?"

Jiang Baichuan, the son of Marquis Pingjiang, was the person in charge of the reception in Chang'an back then.

"Master Zhang knows?" Zhang Bo said.

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Well, I met once in Chang'an City."

Entering the theater, the four found a table and sat down.

After a while, a young servant came to serve tea, gave a few Wen tea money, and everyone sat down.

The play has reached halftime, and most of the previous ones have not been watched, but they can still watch it with enthusiasm. This is the charm of opera, and everyone is fascinated by it.

I saw the man on the stage slay himself with a sword, and the moment the sword left his hand, he fell to the ground in vain. There was a bang, and the whole stage resounded. .

"it is good!"

Everyone sighed in admiration, and saw the young servants coming forward with plates, as long as they thought it was good, those who had money would give it a prize, and those who had no money would give it a prize.

After a while, the plate was filled with copper coins.

"What do you think?" Zhang Ming asked.

Su Tan came back to his senses and replied: "The drama is the essence."

But seeing the young servant coming forward with a plate, Zhang Ming reached out and took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and put it into the plate.

The boy was stunned for a moment, and asked, "My lord, didn't you take it wrong?"

That plate, on which was placed, was real gold and silver, a silver ingot, at most a few pennies were received in this theater, and this kind of silver was calculated in taels, this was the first time the boy had seen it, and he even felt that he I read it wrong.

"That's right, take it." Zhang Ming said softly.

"Huh." The servant took a deep breath, quickly let the person beside him hold the plate, lowered his head, cupped his hands, and bowed his body, "Little Dai Jianghai Opera Garden, thank you, my lord!"

A while later, another servant brought Zhang Ming a pot of good tea.

Anyway, etiquette pays off.

Listening to the opera was just for fun, and the few taels of idle silver were nothing more than a small amount of money to Zhang Ming.

end.

Zhang Ming came back to his senses. He hadn't listened to the opera for a long time, but he was a little fascinated. He looked sideways at Su Tan beside him, and said softly, "If I have the chance, I would like to hear you sing again. play."

Su Tan touched Xiao Qi's forehead and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it later when we have a chance."

When Jiang Rou heard this, she asked, "Can Sister Su know how to sing?"

"A little bit." Su Tan smiled.

Jiang Rou was full of curiosity, and said, "I've never seen it before, it must be very powerful."

Su Tan was slightly stunned, and replied: "...I guess so."

Suddenly, she realized that she almost forgot that she could sing.

Chapter 357: The world is in a hurry

Jianghai Theater has been in Xuzhou for several years. At the earliest time, the owner of this theater was not Marquis Pingjiang, but a small Goulan.

But later Pingjianghou and his wife came to Xuzhou, and Mrs. Jiang was very happy when she saw a good show sung by the opera singers here.

Now, the theater is no longer under the management of Marquis Ping Jiang, and it is all handed over to his prodigal son Jiang Baichuan. Therefore, all these years, Jianghai Theater has been unable to make ends meet, making no money at all, it is just a money-losing business .

To this day, a few taels of silver is already considered a huge sum of money for the people of Jianghai Theater.

If it weren't for the support of this group of people, this Jianghai Theater would have ceased to exist long ago.

The world is in a hurry, but it's just a few taels of silver.

In the final analysis, it is for food and drink. Although the theater does not make much money, it is the foundation of many people's survival. If the theater is gone, maybe they really can't survive.

Zhang Ming pondered for a moment, but suddenly had an idea, and asked sideways, "What do you think of this theater?"

Su Tan paused, not knowing why Zhang Ming asked this, and replied: "Very good."

"En." Zhang Ming nodded slightly.

After listening to the play, they didn't want to stay any longer, and they got up and wanted to leave.

After listening to the opera, many people left naturally, and there were not many rich people who listened to the opera here, so they left in a hurry after listening to the opera.

Coming here to listen to the opera is the last of their pleasure.

"Let's go, let's go shopping in South Street again." Jiang Rou got up and smiled.

She hasn't walked around enough yet, so she doesn't plan to go back until sunset.

Zhang Ming and the others got up and walked out of Jianghai Theater.

But at this moment, Zhang Ming saw a figure among the crowd and couldn't help but take a look.

He inexplicably felt a little familiar, thinking that he might have misread it.

However, when the man turned his head, the eyes of the two overlapped and both saw each other.

In that moment.

Zhang Ming's pupils shrank slightly, and he stopped walking.

The man was also a little surprised when he saw Zhang Ming, and he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.

"What's wrong?" Su Tan turned around and asked.

Zhang Ming came back to his senses and replied, "Meet an acquaintance."

I saw the man walking back to Zhang Ming, forced a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhang, what a coincidence."

"Coincidentally." Zhang Ming replied.

The third son of the Su family, Su Xue.

It has been several months since we left Jiangling.

Ever since Guo Xiao and Zhang Ming talked about the Su family last time, Zhang Ming has been thinking about the Su family, and sometimes he doesn't want to meet them, but they can meet again, the world is unpredictable.

"Is this the end of the play?" Su Xue asked.

"Aren't you the same?"

Su Xue just smiled and said: "It's fine to have nothing to do, just listen to the opera."

"Still reading?" Zhang Ming asked.

"I know how to read, but I don't read enough. Su has gone to learn swords now."

"Learning sword?" Zhang Ming nodded, and looked at Su Xue again.

Compared to a few months ago, Su Xue's body is full of qi and blood, and compared to his former elegance, now he is a bit sharper. Looking at the stellar energy overflowing from his body, it is already as fast as a mysterious realm.

This surprised Zhang Ming a little. If an ordinary person wants to escape from the mortal realm, it will take at least a few years. In just a few months, Su Xue has reached the consummation of the mortal realm, which is very rare.

Su Xue seemed to see Zhang Ming's doubts, and said, "If you use writing to convey your sword, you will naturally learn quickly."

"So it is." Zhang Ming suddenly realized.

Su Xue doesn't have that transcendent talent, it's just that he accumulated more while studying.

Martial arts practice focuses on comprehension, and sometimes when comprehension is achieved, it will come naturally, but it also requires specific martial arts, just like Li Qingfeng's Haoran sword back then, if he didn't have a great heart and suitable swordsmanship, he would not be able to reach the level he is today .

It is a difficult path to carry swords with words.

From the very beginning of his martial arts training, Su Xue was doomed what path he should take in the future. Reach the realm of masters.

Jiang Rou looked at this person and asked, "Shopkeeper, who is this?"

Zhang Ming was about to introduce him, but he heard Su Xue say, "I'm going to Su Xue, but I'm just a nobody."

Su Tan beside Zhang Ming frowned when he heard the name, turned to look at Zhang Ming, and asked, "Is that Su Xue you were talking about?"

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Well, it's your cousin."

"Oh." Su Tan agreed, and sized up her 'cousin'.

Su Xue was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked doubtfully, "Cousin?"

He didn't remember that he had a younger sister.

Zhang Ming looked at Su Xue and said, "Your father probably never told you that he still has a big brother."

Su Xue frowned slightly, how did he know about this, and said, "I do have an uncle, but he is no longer alive."

Zhang Ming didn't want to explain, but waved his hand and said, "Go back and ask your father. I have something to do today, so I won't say much. Let me go."

Zhang Ming blocked Su Xue's escape route with one sentence.

Su Xue wanted to ask more questions, but had no chance, so he could only say awkwardly, "...Farewell!"

"Let's go."

Zhang Ming stepped forward, and Jiang Rou and the others followed.

Su Tan walked past Su Xue, took another look at her scholar-like 'cousin', then turned his eyes away and left here.

Su Xue looked at the leaving figure, a little lost in thought.

In fact, he already had some guesses.

It's just that I can't believe it.

When the Su family was passed down to his father's generation, the population was sparse, only his father and three uncles remained, two of them were entangled in official disputes, and the Su family failed to keep the two uncles in the end.

The last uncle left the Su family many years ago. When Su Xue was born, the Su family no longer had that uncle, and his name was removed from the genealogy. said when.

Now the eldest brother and the second brother are no longer alive.

Su Xue thought that only his father and himself were left in the Su family, but now he told him that he still has a cousin, which is really unbelievable.

Let's talk about him and Zhang Ming.

After all, the two of them are no longer friends.

Zhang Ming was responsible for the downfall of the Su family, and Zhang Ming was also involved in it anyway.

Su Xue's amiable appearance today is just a show, he is not stupid.

From the moment he chose to practice martial arts with words and swords, Zhang Ming had already stood on the opposite side of him.

Su Bai was originally a treacherous and evil person, and it can be said that he deserved what he deserved, but Su Mu was different.

Su Mu is not a treacherous person, only a lonely and courageous, good sword and wine friend, and he also loves Su Xue, his younger brother, on weekdays.

It is also because of that solitary courage that he went up to the sword mountain alone, and the sword opened the mountain gate.
