Chapter Twenty-Six: Going Out to Listen to the Play

In the morning, as soon as Xi Yue finished teaching the two children today's homework, Liu Yun came over.

"Xiyue, how are they learning, Xiaoyuan, are they still obedient?" When Xiyue was teaching, Liu Yun and they wouldn't watch from the sidelines, which was also Xiyue's rule, so she didn't know how her children were learning.

Xi Yue was still so breezy and light, without a trace of fireworks, she said lightly: "They are all quite talented, better than I expected." Learn seriously, and be willing to endure hardships. “

Liu Yun smiled: "That's good." Xiyue, I have two theater tickets, and it is the most famous theater troupe in Shanghai, I don't know if you are interested? Xiyue rarely goes out, so Liu Yun wants to take her out for a walk.

"Listening to a play? What a play. Xi Yue was a little interested.

Liu Yunjian Xiyue said enthusiastically with some interest: "It's Yue Opera, we used to call it Shaoxing Opera, but now the singing troupe has begun to call it Yue Opera." I heard that there is a play "Flowers as the Matchmaker" today, which is said to be sung very well, and it is difficult to find a ticket. “

"I also got this with great difficulty, and I don't know if you are interested."

Compared with the current black-and-white movies, Xiyue is more willing to listen to the play. Xi Yue likes Yue Opera very much, especially the one in "Dream of Red Mansions", but unfortunately it hasn't come out yet. The dramatists at this time all have real kung fu, and many things have not been lost, which is worth seeing. Xiyue nodded and said, "Okay, I want to hear it too." “

Xiyue was willing to go, Liu Yun was happy, and immediately said, "Okay, let's eat first." I'll get them ready, and we'll go together when the time comes. “

"Okay."

After eating at noon, the two of them cleaned up a little and went out. Because it was still early, Liu Yun took Xiyue to the dim sum shop and bought some dim sum. First, you can eat it when you watch the play, and secondly, you can take it back to the little ones to eat.

Sure enough, as Liu Yun said, it is difficult to get a vote, and there are many people who come, most of them are rich and noble, mostly women. As soon as Xi Yue and Liu Yun arrived, they attracted a lot of attention, of course, mainly to see Xi Yue.

Liu Yun did arrange it well, although it was not the best location, it was not bad, it was a seat on the left side of the second floor. As soon as he arrived, the man quickly served tea and some melon seeds. The maid brought by Liu Yun also immediately put on the dim sum she had just bought, although the theater provided dim sum, but after all, it was not as good as the one she bought outside.

The play began quickly, and Yue Opera deserved to be called the second largest drama in China in the future. The singing is melodious and tactful, and Wu Nong's soft and glutinous words are particularly good with a strong Jiangnan taste. Xiyue used to like Yue Opera, but I haven't heard it for many years, but I think it's very good-looking.

Liu Yun saw that Xiyue was a little fascinated by what she heard, and asked during the intermission: "Xiyue, what do you think?" ”

Xiyue said: "It's very good, I haven't heard it for many years, and I miss it very much." ”

Liu Yun was relieved: "That's good, I'm afraid you don't like it, young people now like to go to the movies." ”

Xi Yue said: "I like drama, how can movies be good." "I really can't appreciate the black-and-white movie Xiyue, not because of the actor's acting skills, but because the color and expression are not mature. Accustomed to later generations of color and even 3D movies, who would watch black and white movies at this time.

Liu Yun smiled and said, "I think so too." The movie is just fresh, but how can this scene have a taste. ”

Xiyue is watching the play, but many people watching the play are watching her.

"Look at whose daughter is that, she looks so beautiful."

"Yes, I don't even know when such a beautiful lady appeared in Shanghai."

"It's so beautiful, that skin, that temperament, tsk, I want to give her the name of the first beauty on the beach."

"I also think that the current No. 1 beauty is a courtesan, and her temperament is comparable to that of other people's daughters. Look at the elegant temperament of others, what a peerless beauty. ”

Most of the men who talk about her beauty are men, and many women also think Xiyue is beautiful, but most of them are jealous. Jealous of Xiyue's beauty and jealous of the attention she gets, of course, a few sour words are indispensable.

Xi Yue didn't know anything about this, she was watching the play intently. The familiarity of Yue Opera made her want to sing a few words along, and what she wanted most was to shout twice about "Sister Lin Falling from the Sky".

After a while, a play is over, with a few minutes of rest in between. Xi Yue took a sip of the tea on the table, but she didn't expect the tea here to be very good.

Liu Yun saw Xiyue's satisfied expression and said, "I thought you didn't like the tea here, and I didn't see how you felt when you took a sip." ”

Xiyue said: "It's very good, my lips and teeth are fragrant, I didn't expect the service here to be heard, the drama is good, and the tea is good." ”

Liu Yun was very happy to hear it, and sure enough, her introduction was not wrong. Their Lin family owes Xiyue too much kindness, and they can't pay it back for a while, so they can only do what they can.

"Miss Lin, hello, meet again." A slightly familiar voice came.

Xi Yue turned her head and saw a pair of clear and bright eyes. Xi Yue still has some impression of these eyes, it is Xu Heng who she met a few days ago. Xi Yue nodded politely and distantly, she didn't want to know Xu Heng.

The scene was a little embarrassing, Xu Heng was frustrated again in Xiyue. But fortunately, there is another person next to Xiyue, and there is still a chance. Xu Heng said politely: "This must be Mrs. Lin." "Xu Heng has actually investigated the Lin family a long time ago, and he really knows the general situation of the Lin family. In fact, I didn't investigate much, just ask a few words about the situation between neighbors.

Liu Yun's first impression of Xu Heng was good, he was handsome and polite. Looking at this bearing, the conditions at home are also good. Liu Yun smiled and said, "I am, I don't know which young master you are?" “

Xu Heng's heart lit up, and he said: "My name is Xu Heng, and Mrs. Lin may not know that I live near your house, on the same road." I met Miss Lin last time, but I didn't expect to meet here. “

Liu Yun didn't expect it to be a neighbor: "It turned out to be a neighbor, we just moved here and don't know the people who live nearby, please forgive Master Xu." Although Liu Yun doesn't know Xu Heng's identity, the people who live in that area are all characters with heads and faces, and it's always right to be polite.

Xu Heng hurriedly said: "Mrs. Lin is polite, they are all neighbors, how can there be forgiveness." You're older, you're an elder, so it's good if you don't think I'm abrupt. “

Liu Yun was very satisfied with Xu Heng's attitude, very polite, and smiled: "You also said that I was polite, but you were polite." Young Master Xu is also here to listen to the play? “

Xu Heng said: "Yes, this troupe is very famous, so I wanted to come over to hear about it, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Lin here." As he spoke, Xu Heng also glanced at Xi Yue. But it's a pity that Xiyue didn't mean to give Xu Heng a big gift at all.

Liu Yun couldn't see what Xu Heng meant, but Xiyue didn't speak, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to deal with it herself, and said with a smile: "Exactly, we also heard that this troupe sings very well, and we came here." ”

Xu Heng said: "It turns out that Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin also like to listen to operas, and there are many good opera troupes in Shanghai. By the way, I don't know if Mrs. Lin likes Peking Opera, Master Mei Lanfang is about to sing recently, I just have a few tickets, if Mrs. Lin likes me, I will give it to Mrs. Lin as a gift. ”

Liu Yun is a fan of opera, and has long heard of Master Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera, and said with some excitement: "Mei Lanfang's play is excellent, I have long heard of its reputation, but I have never heard of it." It's just that it's useless, how can I make Young Master Xu break the bank. “

Xu Heng saw the opportunity, and immediately said: "How can you break the bank, it's just a few tickets." It's rare, but it's not worth a lot of money. The key is that Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin like it, and that's the most important thing. When the time comes, I will personally deliver the tickets and come to the door to disturb Mrs. Lin. “

Liu Yun said: "This can't be helped, it's Young Master Xu's expense, where can you send it in person, you can't do it, you can't do it." “

When Xi Yue heard Mei Lanfang, her eyes also lit up. It's just the rest, this is a Peking Opera master, I didn't have a chance in my previous life, but now I have the opportunity to listen to the scene, I really want to see this Master Mei's peerless elegance.
