Rebirth: Re-entering the Jianghu

Chapter 60 Listening to Opera and Drinking Tea

As they watched, the butterfly flew across the sky. On their way to Yunhua Sect, they had to pass through many places and decided to run to the metropolis along the way.

On the way, they came to Qingfeng Town. The people in this town like to listen to music and drink tea the most. Here you can see a big theater at any time. When they came here, they wanted to experience the local customs.

The four of them immediately decided to go for tea and opera. When they arrived at the teahouse, the waiter respectfully invited them to the second floor. Because Li Mubai's leg had not yet healed, Mu Xing used magic to send him upstairs, which caused a burst of laughter among the crowd. Why did they go upstairs like this?

This teahouse only welcomes chivalrous knights and residents of the small town. It is bustling here all year round, and the lights are never turned off at night, as they serve to illuminate the way home for passers-by.

The actor on the stage was holding a golden-looking fan and walking up to the stage. His clear and beautiful voice made people intoxicated. The noise in the crowd became quieter, and everyone only focused on the movements of the people on the stage, feeling relaxed.

As the actor finished his last move, they remembered that they came here to listen to music and drink tea. They picked up the tea in their hands and found that it was already cold.

At this time, the waiter came over, holding the teapot, poured out the previous water, gently placed the tea leaves in the teapot, and gently shook the teapot, which made the tea leaves evenly distributed in the teapot.

Lift the kettle and slowly pour water into the teapot to stimulate the tea fragrance. After a while, the tea leaves will completely expand in the water. Pour the water in the teapot into the teacup. The teacup will be steaming and the aroma of the tea leaves will come out. You can smell the fragrance.

Holding the cup up gently, some people will take a sip slowly and savor it carefully. People here live very slowly, and they also enjoy such days and enjoy these things comfortably.

I wouldn't come if I was busy, but there are always a few days a month when I come to listen to opera. There is a big mountain behind it, and the mountain looks green in spring and summer. It is so beautiful and special. A very talented scholar came here and named it Qingfeng Town.

The town is originally quiet at night, but they don’t want their lives to be like this, so they change spontaneously. The people on the stage also perform spontaneously, and they have written many interesting scripts.

When Luo Xiao was listening to this play, he realized at the end that it was about a rich lady falling in love with a scholar, who then passed the imperial examination and married the prime minister's daughter.

When the rich young lady went to the capital to look for someone, she saw the scene of the number one scholar getting married. She was not angry, but chose to inherit the family business herself and became a well-known philanthropist. She used the money she earned to help more people become the number one scholar, and finally cultivated many talents.

The number one scholar was later killed by the emperor because of corruption and bribery. However, the rich lady enjoyed a wealthy and prosperous life in her later years, which was better than the heartless and ungrateful number one scholar.

This is a different story from the previous ones. Most of the stories I have heard in other places before are about the woman being cheated of money and sex and dying miserably, and the unfaithful man living a better life than anyone else, or the woman waiting in vain for a man who may never come back in this life.

Luo Xiao didn't understand why all the stories told such a woman to wait and put her hopes on such a man. What would she do after her hopes were dashed? This story was adapted to her heart, and the woman could also accomplish something on her own.

She doesn't have to rely on a weak person to live. If she has greater abilities, she can do something for the country. There is no need to be trapped in this place for the rest of her life.

Love is not a cage. If you love, why don't you want this woman to live a good life? In the play, such a woman is made to suffer all kinds of grievances. If it is written that a man waits for a woman for ten or eight years, it means that the love is deep as the sea, and it seems that a woman should wait as long as she wants. I don't know who made this rule. It really makes people feel uncomfortable.

The villagers of Qingfeng Town would write down any interesting things they saw in their daily lives into their plays, so their plays were quite distinctive compared to those elsewhere.

One of the ten most famous enjoyments in the world is to go to Qingfeng Town to listen to opera. The singing style here is different from that of other places. It has the same tone as the people here speaking, which makes people feel relaxed and happy after listening to it.

Gradually, they found that they could make tea by themselves. As they watched more and more people gather on the stands, they ate chestnut cakes, the white cakes paired with fragrant tea, and watched the wonderful performances. Everyone felt relaxed.

They watched the moon in the sky getting brighter and brighter, but the people's enthusiasm for watching opera did not diminish at all. Long hours of work made their hard-earned leisure time particularly precious. They finally had a chance to take a break these few days, but if they didn't go to listen to opera and drink tea, how could they enjoy life?

Every story here is very exciting. After they finished their tea and came out of the teahouse, they saw red lanterns everywhere in the yard outside, and even lights all along the way. The people here are surprisingly hospitable.

Whenever there are guests here, they all rush to ask their mother to invite the guests to their home. They may not have much money, but as long as they come here, they can let the guests taste their specialties. There are many bamboo shoots in the mountains.

After the spring rain, they quietly came out of the soil, waiting for people to discover them. Luo Xiao and his friends were very happy when they heard that they were going to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. When they arrived at the mountain, they saw a large bamboo forest. They had seen bamboo forests before, but the longest bamboo poles were only the width of a stick. The bamboo here was very thick, different from the bamboos elsewhere.

Many people use them to build houses. They like these things very much. The spring bamboo shoots in the mountains are delicious, so they go up the mountain with the villagers here to dig spring bamboo shoots.

Finally, they simply gave up on using tools and dug a hole in the ground with their hands. They finally found bamboo shoots, as well as many small ones, which they pulled out directly with their hands.

Sometimes they used too much strength and would be knocked backwards, but they were having a lot of fun. They didn't dig many bamboo shoots along the way, but they did dig a lot of holes, which made the villagers laugh.

You guys are just here to have fun, okay, let me do it. Finally, they went down the mountain with a basket of bamboo shoots.
