Thousand Autumns

Chapter 120 Three Theaters

Indeed, as Xie Yuchen said, on Er Yuehong's birthday, with his qualifications in the exorcism world, so many people came to congratulate him that they almost stepped on the threshold of his family.After Xie Yuchen and Black Glasses found Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling, they were called by the servants sent by Xie Wuliang to help before they could say a few words.Wu Xie and the others also followed along to help out a little.

Although Xie Wuliang has arranged almost all the big and small matters, but when he is busy, there are still not enough people. He is busy running around, inside and outside, and Xie Yuchen and the others help him with some trivial matters. Fortunately, Wu Xie and the others followed, otherwise Xie Yuchen alone would still have no time to spare.It wasn't until noon that several people arranged everything almost. Xie Wuliang asked Xie Yuchen and the others to accompany the guests for dinner and then disappeared.Xie Yuchen gave instructions to the few subordinates who had been assisting them, and then he and Wu Xie left to rest first.

When the Huo family arrived on the way, Huo Xiuxiu ran over to take a look at Wu Xie and the others, but Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen were busy greeting the guests and had no time to talk to her. Huo Xiuxiu stayed bored for a while before being sent by Mrs. Huo Her men were called away.

"Master Hua'er, your junior brother, it seems that you are indeed suitable to take over the position of your second master. Such a big house, with so many guests, he didn't leave a single one behind, and took good care of all of them."

The black glasses sat on a chair without any image, and his feet were casually resting on the table in front of him. He was busy with Xie Yuchen all morning, and he didn't even have time to smoke a cigarette. He just lit one now. He took a few puffs of a cigarette in relaxation.Xie Yuchen kicked the black glasses off the table and sat down next to the black glasses. He took a sip of tea before speaking.

"If he can't even manage such a simple birthday banquet, what qualifications do he have to deal with other more difficult issues? The second master is testing him openly and secretly."

"...When I think about it, I will be responsible for these matters of the Wu family in the future, and my head hurts..."

Wu Xie leaned against Zhang Qiling and sat opposite Xie Yuchen and the others, talking with displeasure on his face, Xie Yuchen's face collapsed when he heard what he said

"Me too... In the future, the size of Xie's family will be appropriate, and I will take care of it. Our family's affairs are no less than yours... I also have a headache just thinking about it."

"Why do you have a headache! I'll just do all of this from now on, Master Hua, don't worry!"

The black glasses took a puff of cigarette forcefully and patted Xie Yuchen's shoulder comfortingly. Xie Yuchen looked at the black glasses and asked in distaste.

"You are a goblin, do you know how to manage a family?"

"You can learn if you don't understand! Besides! I can manage such a large pack of wolves! Can't I manage a few people?"

"Can you beat those servants at every turn like you beat those wolf cubs at every turn?"

"Uh... anyway, just don't worry about it! I'm here!"

The black glasses were stunned for a moment when they heard Xie Yuchen's words, but immediately put aside Xie Yuchen's worries. Damn, he can manage tens of thousands of wolves, and dozens of people are nothing.

Xie Yuchen shook the teacup in his hand and smiled faintly.

Wu Xie turned to look at Zhang Qiling expectantly, Zhang Qiling tilted his head to look at Wu Xie, then raised his head and frowned for a moment.

"It's okay. I'll let Situ take care of it for you. Anyway, he manages so many ghosts so well. The ghosts are all dead people. It should be as easy for him to manage people."

"Pfft~"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xie Yuchen choked on the tea, and the black glasses were choked by the puff of cigarette he had just inhaled. They both looked at Zhang Qiling in horror.He just forced Suzaku to be the guardian animal of the Wu family, but now he has made his mind on the majestic Hades of the Underworld. I don't know if Situ Yi will be so angry that he won't even be the Hades and go directly to reincarnation if he knows Zhang Qiling's idea. up.

Although Wu Xie was also a little frightened, but when he saw Zhang Qiling say this, his expression was so sure that he couldn't help being a little tempted. He bit his lip and thought for a while before Wu Xie nodded slowly.He thought the same as Zhang Qiling, anyway, Situ Yi had already managed so many ghosts, so it didn't matter if there were more people.

Xie Yuchen and the black glasses looked at Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling numbly, and silently mourned for Situ Yi in their hearts. At this time, one of Xie Wuliang's subordinates looked around at the gate of the courtyard. He saw Xie Yuchen here and walked cautiously come over.

"Master Hua'er, hello everyone."

"what's up?"

"Master Hua'er, Master Ba said that it's done over there, you can go over now."

"Well, I'll go right now."

"Ba Ye" is what these subordinates called Xie Wuliang, because Xie Wuliang acted with Xie Yuchen when he was young, and the role he sang the most was Xiang Yu, the Overlord. Slowly, those subordinates began to call him that, and he didn't care, so Called away by these men.

Xie Yuchen nodded, put the tea cup in his hand on the table, got up and followed the servant, and the black glasses quickly jumped up and followed.

"Master Hua! Wait for me, what are you going to do? I'll be with you..."

"Don't come with me. I have something to discuss with Wuliang. I won't be back for a while. You can rest here. The dinner will start in a while. You just go there with Wu Xie and the others."

"No, where are you going? I'll be with you! You..."

"No, don't follow me."

Xie Yuchen waved his hand to prevent the black glasses from following, and then he and the servant left the courtyard. The black glasses held a cigarette in his hand and looked at Xie Yuchen who had left suddenly, wondering what he and Xie Wuliang wanted to discuss He didn't let himself follow him.

"Oh! It's hot...Little Third Master, what is Hua'er Master doing here? Why don't you let me follow?"

The smoke in the hands of the black glasses burned to the end and burned his hands. He shrank his hands from the heat and regained his senses. Then he immediately asked Wu Xie what Xie Yuchen was doing.Mysterious, still with Xie Wuliang, the black glasses feel a little uncomfortable.

Wu Xie was peeling melon seeds for Zhang Qiling, when he heard the question from the black glasses, he looked at the black glasses and smiled mysteriously

"Don't you know when they're done? Xiaohua won't let you follow, there must be a reason for him. If you chase after him now, you're guaranteed to be beaten up by him. You'd better stay here and wait for him with peace of mind."

"You know what he's up to? Tell me!"

"No, Xiaohua won't let me talk."

"What the hell did Hua'er do? Why did he go with his younger brother?"

"do not know."

Wu Xie simply said something perfunctory, then turned his head and continued peeling the melon seeds, ignoring the crazy Black Glasses, if Zhang Qiling wasn't on the side, the Black Glasses would almost pounce on him and force Wu Xie to tell the reason.Glancing at the direction where Xie Yuchen left, the black glasses re-lit a cigarette and sat back in his seat in a dispirited manner.

As soon as Xie Yuchen left, he left for the whole afternoon, until the whole house was covered with red lanterns, and he didn't come back when it was dark. His black glasses were irritated like ants on a hot pot, and kept circling in the yard. He wanted to go to Jie Yuchen several times, but he was held back by Wu Xie's gentle sentence, "If you are not afraid of making Xiaohua angry and sleeping in the guest room", she was held back.The surface of the clean gravel road in the yard is full of cigarette butts thrown by him.

"Little third master! Second master, the dinner party has begun, and the guests over there have already gone to the theater. The second master asked me to invite some masters over there."

"Understood, we will go there by ourselves, you can go and do your work."

"okay!"

"Brother, blind man, let's go, there is still a long way to go to the theater."

"Ah."

"Theatre? What are you going to do in the theater? What are you doing in someone else's theater instead of having your second master's birthday banquet in your own house?"

The black glasses followed Wu Xie out of the yard. He looked at Wu Xie suspiciously, wondering why he still had to go to the theater when it was time for dinner.

"The birthday banquet was originally held in that theater. The theater was right behind Er Ye's house, and it was rebuilt into a theater after Er Ye bought that house. Er Ye sang operas when he was young, although he stopped singing later. , but he likes to watch operas, and the second master himself leads a troupe, and that theater is also specially used by him for the apprentices of the troupe to practice on stage or perform directly. But give the apprentices more time to practice, and the performance On the contrary, there is very little time, if there is a performance, the venue must be sold out."

Wu Xie took Zhang Qiling and black glasses and walked around the courtyard for more than ten minutes before leaving the house.After leaving the house, it was the back door of another house, and some guests were still walking in one after another. One of the men standing at the door saw Wu Xie and the others coming out of the house, and hurriedly greeted them and took them away. went to their seats.

Er Yuehong, Huo Xiangu, Wu Erbai, Wu Sanxing, Xie Lianhuan and others had already sat in a box in the middle of the stands on the second floor.The box is facing the two stages in the middle. On one of the stages, there are already two actors slowly singing some warm-up short plays, while the other stage is empty, and there are several subordinates standing in front of the stage. Let the people who come and go approach the stage.

Er Yuehong and the others sat around a round table, which was filled with various gourmet delicacies, and they chatted happily.Pan Zi stood straight by the balcony of the box, paying attention to the situation in the whole theater.There was a smaller round table next to Er Yuehong's table, which was also filled with various dishes, but no one was sitting there yet, apparently it was reserved for others.

Wu Xie and the others were led by that subordinate into the private room where Er Yuehong and the others were staying. After letting the three of them into the private room, the subordinate left consciously.

"Brother Wu Xie!"

Huo Xiuxiu, who was sitting next to Mrs. Huo, was the first to see Wu Xie and the others coming in, and hurriedly greeted Wu Xie. Wu Xie walked to the big round table and greeted the elders politely.The black glasses saw that Xie Lianhuan was here, and quickly walked to Xie Lianhuan's side to say hello to Xie Lianhuan, Xie Lianhuan nodded lightly, Huo Xiuxiu almost didn't laugh when he saw that the black glasses who had always been angry were so well behaved .Er Yuehong let Wu Xie and the others play by themselves, ignoring them, the older generation, Wu Xie nodded, and sat down beside the small round table with Zhang Qiling and black glasses, Huo Xiuxiu jumped happily and sat down beside the small round table.

"Hey, blind man, where's Sister Hua'er? Why aren't you two together?"

When Huo Xiuxiu asked him where Xie Yuchen had gone, the black glasses who were about to pick up chopsticks suddenly collapsed

"I don't know. I haven't seen anyone since I was called away by his junior brother this afternoon. I can only feel that he is in this house, but I don't know what he is doing."

"Hey, I'll find out soon."

"Why do you all know what Hua'er is doing?"

The black glasses looked depressedly at the smiling Huo Xiuxiu. Huo Xiuxiu didn't answer, but just ate the food on the table with chopsticks.

"It's been a busy day, brother, are you hungry? Brother, do you want this?"

"Ah."

Wu Xie earnestly helped Zhang Qiling hold the dishes on the table, and Zhang Qiling ate quietly with the bowl, and occasionally helped Wu Xie hold some dishes.On Er Yuehong's side, the group of elders were also eating slowly and talking in a low voice, but there would always be someone secretly looking at Zhang Qiling unconsciously, with curiosity and a touch of awe in their eyes without exception.Only Wu Erbai and Wu Sansheng ate the food in peace and comfort, but they couldn't hide the complacency in their eyes.

Everyone here knows what Zhang Qiling's identity is. Even though they are eager to make friends with Zhang Qiling's identity and ability, Er Yuehong and Huo Xiangu both know Zhang Qiling's temperament, and he will not deal with others easily. He doesn't even want to talk much, and always has a paralyzed face, expressionless, so that people have no chance to talk to him.

But Zhang Qiling walked "very close" to Wu Xie.This "near" is also tacitly understood by everyone, even if it is not very pleasant to say, but with the identity of Zhang Qiling there, it is difficult for others to say anything, and what Zhang Qiling did is obviously to show everyone that he is Those who stand on Wu Xie's side support the Wu family, and this alone is enough to envy the other exorcist families.

The actors on the stage have changed several batches, and the scenes have become more and more exciting. The guests who are eating and drinking have started to watch the show, and the atmosphere of the scene has gradually become active. It was a warm applause.In this way, several plays passed, but there were no actors on the stage to meet them, and the guests began to whisper for a while.

At this time, on the other side, there was movement on the stage that had been empty all along.

This stage was more than twice the size of the stage next to it, and the bright red curtain was brightly colored, but it was slowly pulled away at this time.

In the middle of the stage stood an actor with a colorful face and long beard, wearing a black loose dragon robe.As soon as the guests in the audience saw this actor, they burst into applause that was several times warmer than before.The actor was not moved by the enthusiastic atmosphere in the audience, but calmly brushed his long beard, and put his hand on the side of "Bawangjia". The theater where the rustling was talking fell silent.

"Yo, our little 'baye' is on stage today, Lianhuan? Why, Xie Zi, are you going to be on stage today?"

Mrs. Huo looked at the Bawang actor on the stage and smiled happily, then turned to look at Xie Lianhuan and asked a question.Xie Lianhuan smiled and said

"Today is the second master's birthday, Yuchen must be on stage to celebrate."

"That's right, let me just say, this stage, but the second brother performed on the stage back then. After he stopped singing, only Xie Zi could stand on this stage and sing. No one has been on the stage for so many years, and it was suddenly cleaned out today." , I guessed that Jiezi must be on stage tonight. I haven’t heard Xiezi sing for a long time, and today I happen to be in the honor of my second brother, so I will feast my ears.”

"It's been so many years, and no one can reach Hua'er's level. How can I let others go on this stage to sing in operas?"

"Qigu, you're joking. If you want to hear Yuchen sing, you just need to say a few words. It seems that you are born out of place."

"Hehe, old lady, I'll just nag and nag, don't take it seriously, watch the show first."

Huo Xiangu smiled happily, and the people sitting on the side also smiled and no one answered the conversation. Everyone watched Xie Wuliang's mature performance on the stage seriously.

"Master Hua'er wants to sing?!"

Although the box was very big, the small round table where Wu Xie and the others sat was some distance away from Er Yuehong's small round table, but such a small distance was nothing to them, the black glasses had already heard the conversation over there clearly Clearly, he looked at the stage in surprise, and then at Wu Xie.Wu Xie nodded and said

"That's right, today is Er Ye's [-]th birthday, Xiao Hua will definitely perform on stage to celebrate."

"Hey, blind man, you haven't seen Sister Hua'er sing yet, have you? I guarantee you will be amazed after you watch it."

"It's not that I haven't seen him in costumes, I've already been amazed."

The black glasses said indifferently that he saw Xie Yuchen in a costume last time, and Wu Xie said

"Seeing him in a costume and seeing him singing in a costume are two different things. You'll know when you watch it later."

The black glasses don't know why Wu Xie and Huo Xiuxiu would say that, isn't it just a piece of clothing anyway?Is it possible to have a different feeling when wearing it alone?Shrugging, the black glasses grabbed a handful of melon seeds and licked them.But he still looked straight at the stage, seeing Xie Yuchen singing, this is not to be missed, he must appreciate it.
