In the noisy drumbeat, the guests came to congratulate the opening one after another. In fact, Lin Jue didn't have many friends in the capital, all of them were former colleagues or some scholars who admired Lin Juecaixue, and some of them were frequent visitors to the Grand Theater in the outer city.

The little prince Guo Kun's congratulatory scene was the most stylish, and he brought Shen Tan and more than a dozen other guards to come on a high-headed horse. After dismounting, an order was given, and several of his guards brought out a golden God of Wealth. Made of pure gold, the two-foot-tall gold God of Wealth simply blinded everyone's eyes. This handwriting, this style, made the onlookers amazed.

Lin Jue greeted his eldest brother with a smile, this golden god of wealth is afraid that it is worth at least 1,000 taels of gold, that is, more than 10,000 taels of silver. The eldest brother is really generous, much more generous than his father-in-law.

The guests arrived one after another, Ma Bin came, Yang Xiu came, and even a few colleagues from the Regulation Department came, Lin Jue did not reveal any news in the Regulation Division, but there were capable people in the Regulation Division, Liu Xiding didn't know how to know the news, and then the next moment almost the entire Yamen knew. Of course, only a small number of people came, and most of the officials were not familiar with Lin Jue, so they couldn't come to give a gift. Of course, Liu Xiding will definitely come, this guy will save, and sent a picture of rich flowers and birds drawn by himself, saying that he wishes Lord Lin a prosperous business and always be there. It also saved a silver gift money.

To Lin Jue's surprise, Mrs. Fang and Fang Huanqiu actually came. Lin Jue did send a letter to Fang Huanqiu, but he didn't have much hope. It would be best if Fang Huanqiu could come, but his wife might not come, let alone Mr. Unexpectedly, although Mr. didn't come, his wife and Huanqiu came, which made Lin Jue very happy.

"I heard Huanqiu say that the opening of your Grand Theater branch is an industry that has spent a lot of money. The old body thinks that I have to come to join in the fun for you. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if there weren't many of them? So the old body came. But I didn't expect it to be so lively, so many people here. Even if you don't need to be old and show people. If you don't get old, you might as well go home and grow vegetables. Mrs. Fang looked up at the splendid theater in front of her, and the surrounding firecrackers, gongs and drums made her dizzy, and her face was sweating.

Lin Jue laughed, it turned out that his wife was afraid that her theater would open coldly, so she came to cheer people on. It's also a good heart.

"Master, since you're here, how can you leave? You have to watch a good show today. You don't seem to have come to the Jiangnan Grand Theater to watch a good show. The best box and the best location will be arranged for you in a moment. Senior sister, I will accompany your mother to watch a play today. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Fang Huanqiu said with a smile: "The best box is just the best, the nearest one is wanted." Mother's eyes are not very good. Don't worry, my mother is here, and I can't leave. ”

Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "That's it, if you want to go, you won't be allowed to go." What are you holding onto here? It looks heavy, why don't you put it down? ”

Fang Huanqiu sighed, hurriedly handed over a disc-shaped object wrapped in the cloth in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is a congratulatory gift from my mother and I to the opening of the Grand Theater." We can't afford to send any golden statue of the God of Wealth, yesterday and my mother went to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense, and invited a mirror back to open the light town, and I will give it to you as a gift. The place where the mother opens the door to do business is to protect the town. The most important thing is to be safe and secure, and then to be able to make money. ”

The so-called light mirror is just a bronze mirror, which is different from ordinary households, this kind of copper mirror has a larger area, and the pattern is mostly Zhong Kui, Huang Po, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi and other door god images, with tigers, leopards, lions and bears and other fierce beasts, hanging at the entrance of the portal to exorcise evil spirits.

Lin Jue took it and opened the cloth bag, and sure enough, it was an antique bronze mirror, and he couldn't help but smile dumbly. But my heart was moved. This bronze mirror is actually quite expensive, at least it costs more than ten taels of silver. With Mrs. Fang's daily expenses, this is already a very luxurious expense. Mrs. Fang still values herself.

"Okay, I'll immediately order someone to hang it on the entrance door, thank you to my sister and sister. I said yesterday that there seemed to be something missing, but I didn't expect my mother and sister to think of it for me. Thank you so much. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Mrs. Fang smiled: "Don't be disgusted with shabby, Mrs. Fang's family doesn't want to be so rich from big families." Your husband only takes money and never accepts other property, and our family has always been poor. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "How can you dislike it? My wife and sister have a lot of thoughts, and it's too late for me to be happy. Actually, my wife and sister can come to congratulate me today, which already makes me very happy. ”

Mrs. Fang smiled: "That's good." That's good. ”

Lin Jue said: "Let's go in and sit, I'll take you to visit the theater in a while, and then eat some snacks and tea, and the show will start in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, good, it looks so good from the outside, but I don't know how luxurious it is inside. Go in and take a look. Mrs. Fang nodded and smiled and followed Lin Jue to the theater.

Lin Jue introduced Mrs. Fang and Huanqiu to the aisle and various decorations inside after entering the door, and suddenly someone stuffed something in his hand. When I looked down, it was a small jade Buddha wearing silk threads.

Lin Jue turned his head in surprise and found that Fang Huanqiu was winking at him.

"What?" Lin Jue said in a low voice.

"The amulet of light is opened, and you bring it with you to bless peace." Fang Huanqiu said quickly and in a low voice.

Lin Jue chuckled in a low voice: "What is this for?" There's no need for that. I'm too hard to use these things. ”

"Oh, don't talk nonsense, just wear it, I wear it too." Fang Huanqiu stretched out his hand and flicked it around his neck, and there was indeed the same small jade Buddha hanging on his snow-white neck.

Although Lin Jue didn't believe this, this was Huanqiu's thoughts, and this pair of jade Buddhas looked like a couple, if they didn't wear it, Huanqiu would be unhappy. At that moment, he hid the Jade Buddha close to his body, and said in a low voice: "I'll hang it up when I turn around." ”

Huanqiu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then showed a satisfied smile. Lin Jue didn't know the story behind the Jade Buddha. It is said that when Huanqiu and Mrs. Fang went to the temple to burn incense yesterday, they secretly asked the master in the temple about their marriage, and gave Lin Jue and his birthday to the old monk to calculate, the old monk said that although the eight characters are combined, the fate is not enough, and it is necessary to increase the fate of marriage with the help of external forces. Therefore, this pair of jade Buddhas has become a pair of treasures promoted by the old monk to enhance love. One for each person, worn around the neck, is equivalent to connecting the two together, which is of great benefit to the marriage event, and also has the effect of protecting the body and keeping the peace.

Don't look at this pair of small jade Buddhas, the most inferior kind of jade, the roughest carving, but it cost Huanqiu a lot of private silver. If Lin Jue knew about this matter, he would immediately understand that this was the old monk's nonsense to collect money. But Huanqiu can't control that. But she believes everything that promotes her marriage, and she does not spare money.

Lin Jue had just accompanied the Fang family's mother and daughter into the hall of the Grand Theater, and was pointing to the starry lights on the ceiling to explain to the surprised Mrs. Fang, when suddenly, Xie Danhong, who was greeting the guests at the door, rushed in panting from the dome aisle, her face full of nervousness.

"Childe, Childe. It's amazing. Xie Danhong shouted hurriedly.

Her panicked scream surprised everyone around her, and they all turned their heads in surprise. Lin Jue frowned and said, "Why are you so loud?" Doesn't it alarm the guests? What happened? What are you panicking about? ”

Xie Danhong realized her gaffe, and hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Oh, what are you worried about?" Here we go again. I also asked the Bodhisattva for his blessing this morning, and everything went well today, so I was worried that the guy would come to make trouble today, but I didn't expect it to be useless, he came with a lot of people. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "I've been talking for a long time, who is it?" ”

"Who else could it be? Isn't that Lu Yanei yet? Xie Danhong stomped his feet.

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "He? Didn't you say last time that you wouldn't come to us again, but why did you come again? ”

"How do I know, you go and deal with it, you won't have to rush in in a while. It's a joke today......" Xie Danhong shouted.

Lin Jue glared at her and said, "What are you panicking about?" Under the public, under the bright future, what are you afraid of him? Besides, many of the officials I came here are officials, and the little prince is also here, how dare he go wild? ”

"Hey, yes, hurry up and report to the little prince, didn't he bring a lot of people? It is impossible not to leave it alone. I'll report it. Xie Danhong pulled his feet and left.

Lin Jue shouted: "What are you doing?" I don't know what the matter is, so I went to call a helper, are you intent on causing trouble? I'll go out and see, and then I'll make up my mind. Don't shout, hold your breath, and go inside and bring someone to serve the guests who come. Tell Yingying and Xiaoxiao that they are going to put on makeup and start the play. ”

Xie Danhong swallowed and nodded and said, "Okay, son, be careful, just say a few good words and send them away, don't fight again." ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Are you verbose?" ”

"Gotta get it, don't talk about it. The old body is gone. Xie Danhong said hurriedly, in fact, seeing that Lin Jue was not panicked, Xie Danhong's heart also calmed down. Lin Jue is the backbone, as long as he is there, there is nothing he can't solve, and he is too panicked.

Lin Jue smiled at his wife and Fang Huanqiu: "Senior sister, I have to go out to deal with some things, someone will take you to the box to rest." My sister will take care of my wife for me, and I will go to you in a moment. ”

Fang Huanqiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, you can handle things yourself." ”

Mrs. Fang asked worriedly, "What's the matter, the woman looks scared, nothing will happen." ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, what else can I do here?" I'll take a look first, and my wife is waiting to see the big drama with relief. ”

Outside the theater, there was indeed a tense atmosphere. Not long ago, a large group of cavalry galloped from the corner of the street. When they arrived at the entrance of the theater, they immediately began to drive away the people who were watching in the open space in front of the theater and the crowd of people dancing lions and dragon lanterns. And a cordon was quickly established.

Xie Danhong, who was greeting guests in front of the door at that time, caught a glimpse of Lu Tianci's figure coming slowly on a horse, and was immediately frightened that the three souls went to two and a half souls, so he rushed in in a panic and asked for help.

When Lin Jue hurriedly came to the door, Lu Tianci had already dismounted and walked towards the door of the theater with a folding fan, followed by more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers, who seemed to be really here to make trouble.
