Yin Qi didn't watch operas, so he knew that this was an opera singer.Hong Zhou said just now that this theater is dedicated to singing Kunqu Opera, so this person is from here?

It's just that he looks so embarrassed, it seems that he has caused some trouble.Yin Qi raised his eyes and saw that several people were being chased down from above.

Those people came quickly, they ran down in the blink of an eye, and immediately held down the person.The person in front, with a towel on his shoulder, looked at what seemed to be the running hall in the theater, stepped forward and smiled apologetically, "These two young masters really collided..."

When he got closer and saw Hong Zhou's appearance clearly, the waiter nodded and bowed, smiling all over his face, and said: "It turned out to be the fifth master! Now the young ones don't panic. The fifth master is the most generous, never Don't bother with us sluts. This time, I really don't care, if the fifth master forgives me, I will kowtow to the fifth master for this short-sighted thing."

Hong Zhou was impatient, waved his hands and said, "Stop talking nonsense, you're still here but you can't delay my business? Get out of the way!"

The waiter hurriedly responded, and twitched and ordered the few people who had pinned the actor to the ground to pick him up and take him away, making way for him.Hongzhou snorted, but still walked up, and Yinqi followed behind him.

After only two steps, Yin Qi's feet sank, and when he looked down, someone pulled his trouser legs.Yin Qi looked back, but it was the actor just now, holding on to his trouser leg, looking forward to him with his eyes raised.

The waiter hurriedly scolded, raised his foot and stomped on his hand while scolding, shouting loudly: "Ouch! You don't want to die here! Let go quickly! Let go!"

But the actor just didn't let go, crying and shouting: "Master Belle! The younger one is from Prince Gong's side, and he also recognizes Lord Belle! Lord Belle remembers the previous love, save the younger one!"

Yinqi was surprised when he heard Prince Gong.Ever since the Empress Dowager passed away in May of last year, Yongzheng had asked Prince Gong to stay in his mansion. It was a half-circle. It was a long time since anyone had mentioned him.He lowered his head to look at the man's face carefully. Although it was stained with oil paint and tearful, it was almost impossible to see, but the eyebrows and eyes were still somewhat familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, Yinqi remembered this person.Isn't it the "Diao Chan" he saw when he went to Prince Gong's mansion that day?

He couldn't help asking: "Why are you here? Didn't you buy it from Prince Gong?"

Seeing that this man really knew Yin Qi, the waiter hurriedly let him go.The actor got up, wiped his face, and then said: "Master Hui, it was true that Er'er was singing at Prince Gong's mansion before, but later the prince didn't want to listen to it anymore, so Fujin... took out several actors in our troupe. I sold it again..."

Perhaps it was because he was good-looking and vaguely resembling that person, so Prince Gong Fujin couldn't bear it, so he sold it.Yin Qi also felt that what he said fit the bill, Prince Gong hadn't been happy for more than a year, how could he still be interested in listening to the show?I'm afraid there is still some resentment against Yongzheng in my heart, it's luck that this actor was not remembered.This person's words should not be lying.

Then he asked again: "Then what did you do to be kicked out by them? Could it be that you have committed something else?"

The actor hesitated and couldn't answer, so the waiter next to him came over and smiled and said, "Master Baylor didn't know about this, it turned out that there was an adult who looked up to him and asked him to go over and have a drink with him, how could he be so ungrateful... "

In the middle of his speech, Hong Zhou interrupted: "Don't let your ears be dirty with such dirty things!"

The waiter hurriedly said: "Yes! You guys, let's go, let's go!"

As he spoke, he gestured for someone to drag the actor away.

Yin Qi stopped him and said, "Wait, I haven't finished asking."

Not looking at the other people, Yin Qi just looked at the actor and said: "Then you are here to make a living now? Things like today... do they happen often?"

The actor lowered his head and wiped his tears and said: "This... this dirty thing shouldn't have been heard by Baylor, but... the little one didn't want to be like this, it's just..."

Yin Qi looked sideways at Hong Zhou, and said, "I want this man, how do you add up?"

When he said that he wanted to buy this person, the waiter was a little embarrassed at first, but then he became more happy and looked at Hong Zhou.Hong Zhou frowned, pointed at the actor and said, "Even if you want to buy it, pick a good one. I don't know how many people have such things... You are not afraid of getting yourself dirty? If you really want it, Let's pick the younger one later."

Yinqi looked at the actor again, and he was already Xuanran, so he sighed and said, "I just want this. You just said if you can buy it for me."

Hong Zhou stood with a sullen face for a while, then finally gave the actor a hard look, and said, "Since you want it, why don't I get it for you? Just wait."

~~~~~~~

It was said that he was watching a play, but Yin Qi was thinking about the play actor in his heart, so he just couldn't see it in his heart.After finishing the song, I heard the sound of an announcement from outside. Yin Qi called in. Looking back, a middle-aged man came in at the head. He looked like the owner of the theater, followed by the actor, washing off the paint on his face. , also changed into a suit of clothes, and was standing with lowered eyebrows.

Yinqi only asked Hong Zhou to deal with the boss, but he told the actor to come closer.Looking at it so closely, this person is even more like the person Yin Qi was thinking of.It's just that it has a little more feminine meaning, maybe it's singing when you are a child, which adds to the femininity, but it doesn't look like it.

And because he sang Danjiao, he didn't shave his hair for dressing up.Looking at his curly hair, wearing men's clothes, but combing a woman's hairstyle, the original five-point resemblance was abruptly lost.If Yin Qi hadn't seen the man with black hair, he wouldn't have been able to see it.

Such a face, such a dress is really ruined.Yin Qi thought about his previous job again, frowned even more, and said: "Don't dress like this in the future, a man, what does this look like!"

The actor hurriedly responded.

Yin Qi pointed to the chair next to him and asked him to sit down. The actor was terrified for a long time, and he only sat next to the side.Yin Qi asked, "What's your name?"

The actor hesitated for a moment, and said: "The younger one is only named Feng Xia. Later, when he came to Prince Gong's residence, Prince Gong asked the younger one to change his name to Pearl."

Yin Qi frowned when he heard this, and said: "Both of these are not good! Since you are following me from now on, don't be so coy and change your name. Maybe you don't have a surname? Just follow the people around you Surname. From now on, your name will be Su Yuan."

The actor hurriedly thanked him, and said: "Su Yuan, thank you for giving me the name."

At this time, Hong Zhou dismissed the boss, turned around to look at Su Yuan, and said with a sneer: "This one is worth buying specially for you? Look at the age of eighteen or nineteen, right? What else is good? "

Yinqi frowned and said, "I wanted him after I said it. I didn't want to do it because of the dirty things you thought, but because he came out of Prince Gong's mansion, so I bought it."

Hong Zhou's complexion improved slightly, and he said, "That's all."

He said again: "It's just that you take him first, and go to Haizi to learn more later, but what should you do? The people there are all women's houses, and he is not interested in him. If you take him with you, you are afraid of provoking people. joke."

Yinqi sighed, glanced at him and said, "If I go, what must I do? You can enjoy yourself and leave me alone. As for him, tell him to change into a suit of clothes and a hat later, and follow him Together, Lin Qing and the others might not be able to see the difference."

Only now did Hongzhou smile, and ignored Su Yuan.

After listening to a few more plays, Yin Qi didn't like this at all, and was quite bored.He and Su Yuan didn't have much to talk about, they just ate melon seeds and felt dry mouth after a while.

Hong Zhou smiled and said, "Uncle 23 is impatient? Let's go over there now, but it's much better than here."

What he said, the private restaurant next to Haizi is actually a dark place.whore.The dignitaries in the capital, and even the relatives of the emperor, all like to come to such a place for pleasure.

On the bright side, it is a restaurant, in which, from the proprietress to the cook, from the girl who serves the dishes to the girl who sings music to amuse the boredom, and drinks with the guests, all of them are secretly.Prostitution.Although the imperial court has regulations, officials go whoring.Prostitutes will lose their reputations, but in fact it is difficult to stop them.That's why there is such a place, and we turn a blind eye to such things.

Then he took the car to the restaurant that Hong Zhou mentioned, and when he got down to look, the front door of the courtyard seemed to be the private house of a wealthy family.After entering the door and bypassing the screen wall, the chashou corridor is connected to the flower hall, which is a very elegant courtyard.There is a bird rack hanging on the corridor, and a mynah stands on the rack. When it sees anyone, it calls: "Sister! Sister! A distinguished guest is coming! A distinguished guest is coming!"

Yinqi looked at it with a smile, and said: "This mynah is smarter than the one in your fourth brother's yard at home. No matter how many times he has been taught, he can only say auspicious words."

Before Hong Zhou could answer, a woman walked up from the corridor and said with a smile, "This young master thinks highly of this beast. It can only say that kind of thing!"

After finishing speaking, Fushen was blessed, but his eyes were looking forward to Hong Zhou, and he said, "Why did it take so long for Master Wu to come here? A few days ago, my slave family hired another cook from Huaiyang, so I was looking forward to seeing Hong Zhou." We will know whether it is good or not after the master comes to taste it. We all know that the fifth master is the most knowledgeable. Who knows, the fifth master will not come."

Hong Zhou said: "Didn't this just come here again? Since there is a Huaiyang cook, I will eat Huaiyang cuisine today."

Pulled Yinqi again, pointed at the woman and said with a smile: "This is the proprietress here, named Yueqiu, and you know her too. I have no time to catch up tomorrow, so come here by yourself. If you find her, you will have good food." Eat. The things in her house are the cleanest. If you come here to find something fresh, I can rest assured."

Na Yueqiu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Fifth Master, for such a high praise. I just don't know if this young master is...?"

Hong Zhou pulled Yin Qi behind to block him, frowned and said, "Don't worry about who he is, he is a distinguished guest of your family anyway, so you have to entertain him and don't ask others."

After arriving at the house for a while, two women dressed as young women were already waiting inside, waiting for Yinqi and Hongzhou to take off their shoes and sit down on the kang, and served tea and snacks. The sisters who played and sang came to have fun?"

Hongzhou looked at Yinqi, waved his hands and said, "No need for that, we just came out of the theater, we had enough quarrel. You called the storyteller, what's his name? Let her come and talk about ancient times. "

Yueqiu smiled and said, "It's Yu Niang? Let her come here."

Then he lifted the curtain and went out the door, and went by himself.

Yinqi sat on the kang, and saw the two girls standing beside them, they were both sixteen or seventeen years old, not to mention gorgeous, but delicate in appearance.And it has the flavor of Jiangnan women, which is really pleasant to look at.

It's a pity that he never liked this, and he just glanced at them and asked their names. One is called Caiying and the other is called Hualuan, that's all.

The tea here must be inferior to that commonly used in the palace, but it can barely be drunk.When he was in the opera garden just now, Yin Qi's mouth was already dry because he ate melon seeds, but the tea there was rough, so he didn't dare to drink it, but at this time, his thirst was quenched.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yinqi thought of Su Yuan who was outside with Lin Qing and Zhao Hui again, and became a little worried, because he asked, "What should I do with this Su Yuan? I can't take him home."

Hong Zhou laughed and said, "When you bought someone just now, why didn't you think about it? Thinking about it now, could it be that you want me to give you a trick? You have to speak well."

Yin Qiyin pursed his lips and said, "You really don't know how the word "rule" was written. Fortunately, it was in front of me. If the old man hears it, I'm afraid your ass will bloom!"

Hongzhou moved, sat closer, and said with a smile: "What do you mean, is it possible that if I don't help you this time, you are going to sue the old man? Either way, maybe the old man can give Do you have a better idea?"

Yinqi couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm talking nonsense again! Don't talk about this, just say that Su Yuan is placed on the Zhuangzi outside the city. Is it appropriate? I'm afraid that he was born like that, and his studies are bad. Zhuangzi is dishonest. He is far away, so what kind of troubles will arise."

After hearing this, Hong Zhou turned his face closer and said, "Since that's the case, I have an idea."

Yin Qi turned his face to wait for him to speak, Hong Zhou moved closer, put his mouth on Yin Qi's ear, and said in a very low voice, "A few days ago in the yamen, I heard people say, That third uncle of yours, Shi Kang, likes raising little opera singers the most, so you gave Su Yuan to him, isn’t it cheap? First, he has a place to go, and second, since you sent him, Shi Kang must not dare to treat him poorly Su Yuan."

Yinqi's face darkened when he heard this, and he said, "If this is the case, what's the difference between leaving Su Yuan in that theater garden? Then why should I buy him?"

When Hong Zhou heard this, his complexion was also a little ugly, and he said coldly: "Since you said that you didn't buy Su Yuan because you liked his good looks, then you didn't buy him for the fun of the back door. He is a man who makes a living in that door. What are you going to do with him?"

Yinqi frowned and said: "No one is born to be a doorman, so he is willing to do it himself? He originally sang operas well, so he took care of it, even if he will be a janitor in the future, no Also better than what he did before?"
