Ruby's Otherworldly Adventure

After a general discussion, the two got up and washed up. They hurriedly finished the bacon bread and fried eggs made by Mary, and were going to ask Ophelia for news.

After learning about Geraint's frequented opera house from Ophelia, Ruby and Meyer changed into decent formal attire and took a carriage to the White Elephant Opera House.

The Baixiang Opera House was built more than 100 years ago. It was funded by a marquis who loves opera, and it belongs to the marquis' family business.But the descendants of the marquis were unfilial, and lost all the property left by their ancestors in just two generations, but the title of marquis was passed down.In order to maintain the dignity of the Marquis, the descendants of the Marquis mortgaged the Opera House. The White Elephant Opera House has changed hands several times, and now it belongs to the Irish Chamber of Commerce.

After they got off the carriage, they stood in line in front of the ticket gate of the opera house. I heard that today there will be a performance by a famous troupe, and Miss Helen, the mainstay of the troupe, will also sing on stage. It's very long.

Those who came to watch the opera were all well-educated people, most of them were of good quality. Without jumping in line, it would be Ruby and the others’ turn soon, but a gentleman in front had a little dispute with the waiter who bought the ticket , which slowed down the progress of the team.

The gentleman said politely, "Open me a box."

The waiter flipped through the records in the notebook, and said apologetically, "Today's box has been booked, but there are still some pool seats, facing the front row of the stage, would you like one?"

The gentleman was very disappointed, and he asked unwillingly: "Are there no vacant boxes? For example, those boxes that have been reserved for a long time but no one came today, I can rent them for a day at double the price."

The waiter replied: "Let me ask for you, please wait by the side for a while." He called another waiter and asked him to ask if there was any guest who wanted to vacate the box.

After a while, another waiter came back, and he said excitedly: "Yes! His Royal Highness gave up his box, and he invited this opera-loving guest to watch the opera."

"So I will have the honor to enjoy the opera with the prince." The gentleman flushed with excitement.

Facing the gentleman's question, the waiter's face was a bit strange, he shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness is not in the box, the attendant he stayed inside made the decision for His Royal Highness. He said that His Royal Highness said: 'Anyone who loves Those who are in the opera can use it at will when the box is vacant." This means that you can enjoy the high-end box without spending a copper coin."

Hearing the waiter's reply, the gentleman couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. If he could get acquainted with His Excellency the Prince and be fortunate enough to be appreciated by him, then he, a little clerk, would be able to rise to the sky in one step.But then he thought about how the prince of a country is so easy to see. It is a great blessing to have the opportunity to watch an opera in the prince's box, so he complimented with relief: "Your Excellency, you have a lot of things to do every day, so naturally you don't have time It's a pity that I don't have the chance to meet the prince, and I can't express my gratitude to him in person."

The gentleman's compliment made the waiter's expression even weirder. He seemed to want to say something, but he held back. In the end, he simply said: "Follow me."

Then, under the envious eyes of everyone, the gentleman held his head high and followed the waiter to the box.

After the gentleman left, Ruby and Ruby passed by a few more people. Ruby bought two tickets and received two bronze medals from the waiter. The bronze medals were engraved with a series of numbers. According to the series of numbers, you can find the corresponding seat .Ruby took a quick look and found that her and Meyer's seats were connected, leaving her the trouble of changing tickets.

With bronze medals tied to their wrists, Ruby and Meyer joined hands and followed the crowd into the opera house.

On the way into the theater, Ruby said to Meyer: "Did you hear what the waiter said just now? He said that the prince is not here today. I remember that Geraint's title in Sardinia is the prince. We will not be so unlucky." , just come when he is not around."

Meyer smiled and pointed to a seat in front: "There is more than one Prince of Satin, it's too early to tell... Look, isn't the one in front right?"

Following Meyer's gestures, Ruby saw a shiny golden hair. Looking at the curly braid, she knew it was Geraint himself.Ruby's eyes moved slightly to the left, and found a black-haired young man sitting upright next to Geraint, turning his head to talk with Geraint from time to time, Ruby guessed that this was the Levi mentor that Ophelia was talking about .

"Let's talk to them after we finish the opera. People can't run away anyway." Ruby felt that it was not good to disturb others when they just came out to relax, so she discussed with Meyer in this way.

"That's exactly what I want to see what Satin's popular opera looks like." Meyer agreed.

After the two reached an agreement, they began to let go of their original concerns and prepare to enjoy the opera attentively.

The theater was filled with murmurs of discussion, but as the lights in the hall dimmed all of a sudden, all the lights were focused on center stage, and everyone fell silent.As the curtain rises, the first act begins.

The background on the stage is a school. After the narration explains, the audience knows that the background of the story is a smart and beautiful countess Zhu Lier, who wants to study in a college because she admires the knowledge of the foreign female scholar Ezra.However, the laws of Brunei are very strict on women. Ms. Zhu Lier disguised herself as a man and hid her identity to study in the college.

On the way to the college, Zhu Lier met Bruce.Liang, a sincere and kind-hearted young man, became brothers after an episode.After arriving at the academy, the two happened to be assigned to the same dormitory, which surprised them both.During the three years of study and life, Zhu Lier was very fond of Bruce.Liang Jian fell in love, but Bruce didn't know whether Zhu Lier was a woman, or regarded Zhu Lier as a brother, which made Zhu Lier dumbfounded.

After the curtain closed, it was changed to the scene of the starry night. At this time, the other actors retired, leaving the heroine Helen to sing solo.Helen used an aria to express Zhu Lier's girlish heart that had no place to vent, and the play ushered in its first small climax.

After Helen's solo, the first act ended, followed by a 10-minute closing break. As the curtain slowly fell, Meyer's heart was temporarily relaxed. She clapped her hands and looked away from the stage. But she inadvertently saw an interesting thing, which made her take her attention away from the opera.

Although there was an a cappella from the actors during the closing period, it had nothing to do with today's opera after all, so Meyer focused his attention on observation with a relaxed mind.

In the auditorium in front of him, Levi's head was bit by bit, then he tilted his body, leaning sideways on Geraint's shoulder, motionless, he should have fallen asleep.Probably because he was worried about waking up Levi, Geraint's movements became very stiff. He tried to keep his left shoulder still, and carefully took off his coat with the help of his teeth, wrapped it around Levi's body, and then adjusted The posture is lowered so that Levi can sleep more comfortably, which looks quite harmonious.

"The relationship between the two is really good." Meyer sighed, she didn't think about anything, but simply thought that the relationship between the two friends was good.

Before Meyer could think about it, the next scene was about to begin.Watching the curtain rise, Meyer didn't bother to observe others, and began to concentrate on watching the drama.Beside Meyer, Ruby put on a blank face. She guessed that she already knew what was going to happen next. Isn't this the Western version of Butterfly Lovers?

However, the following plot slapped Ruby in the face severely. After three years of study, Bruce learned of Zhu Lier's identity as a woman, and fell in love with the smart and beautiful Zhu Lier deeply. He planned to propose marriage after returning she.However, there is a feud between the two families, so the earl disagrees with Zhu Lier marrying Bruce.In the end, Zhu Lier was betrothed to another well-matched nobleman, and Bruce died of depression.

Under the oppression of family hatred, Zhu Lier was forced to marry an evil nobleman. On the night before the wedding, Zhu Lier was devastated. Reunited with Bruce after death.Zhu Lier left a suicide note after her death, hoping that her father would read it and bury her and Bruce together because she was his daughter. Unexpectedly, the earl was furious after reading this letter, and he ordered Zhu Lier to be buried. On the opposite side of Bruce's grave, let these two rebels live forever apart.

Then came the most exciting part of the play, at the moment when Zhu Lier's bones were buried, a towering tree grew on Zhu Lier's grave, tightly hugging the one in front of Bruce's grave, And a colorful flower grew at the junction of the two trees.Then the people escorting Zhu Lier's coffin were shocked to see Zhu Lier wearing a wedding dress and resurrected from the flower buds. It turned out that Zhu Lier had activated the blood of the ancient elves at a critical moment, and was resurrected under the protection of the power of the blood.

At this time, Bruce's tomb opened a hole, and the resurrected Zhu Lier jumped into the split tomb without hesitation, and then the tomb closed, and Zhu Lier never came out again.

As time went by, two butterflies flew out of the tomb one day, and a respected pastor recognized the souls of Bruce and Zhulier. At this time, romantic and touching music was played on the stage, and there was a sound of sobbing under the stage.Afterwards, under the mediation of the pastor, the families of the two were moved by their love and reconciled as before, and a statue was built in front of the tomb of the two to commemorate their faithful love, and the story ended like this.

How about it, do you feel a strange sense of familiarity?

After the curtain call, Ruby was stunned. She felt that she was still too naive: "How did you come up with this script?"For the sake of Meyer being too moved, Ruby didn't have the nerve to say the second half of the sentence.

Hearing this, a man next to them proudly explained to them: ""Butterfly Transformation" was made by a young man named Long Aotian for his beloved woman, and later it was adapted into an opera by the screenwriter. Long Aotian is Local people, so "Butterfly Transformation" can be regarded as an art born in Sardinia."

Speaking of this, the man said with emotion: "Satin has always been known for his magic, but he is not famous for his art. Most of his country's operas are learned from the country of Odun, so he is often ridiculed by the people of Odun as a reckless person who does not understand art. Husband. Fortunately, there is Long Aotian in our country, who can write such a wonderful script, which makes Sardin look bad at Orton. Long Aotian is so tender at a young age, he is indeed a talented artist Ah."

Well, Ruby finally knows how this nondescript story came about. It turns out that the culprit who caused her to watch the poisonous weed for so long is her fellow villager Long Aotian!
