Chapter 183: Legend of the White Snake
The performers of the little shepherd boy and the little white snake were the two ten-year-old beggars taken in by Qianhuan. After a period of rehearsal, the two children were able to perform the play skillfully.
The little girl shouted: "Brother shepherd...Brother shepherd..."
The little shepherd boy looked around: "Who is it? Who is calling me?"
Little girl: "Thank you, shepherd boy"
Little shepherd boy: "Ah, what are you thanking me for?"
Little girl: "Of course it's for saving my life... Remember, I will repay you in the future."
Little shepherd boy: "Are you kidding me? Tell me who you are."
Little girl: "My last name is Bai."
Little shepherd boy: "Bai? You must be a lost child. Come on, I'll take you home."
Little girl: "No, shepherd boy, I can't go with you. Go ahead, we'll meet again later."
Then the monologue sounded: "One thousand seven hundred years later, the little white snake had cultivated a flawless inner elixir in Qingfeng Cave, and successfully survived the thunder tribulation and could transform into a real person. Bai Suzhen turned into a gentle, dignified and beautiful woman. One day, Bai Suzhen came to the human world and met a green snake named Xiaoqing."
The music started, and Qianhuan hid in the backstage and began to play the guzheng while singing "The Compassionate Bai Suzhen" "The compassionate Bai Suzhen, spared Xiaoqing's life. The two became sworn sisters, and lived in Prince Qiu's mansion. With her great magical powers, she rebuilt the mansion, and with her boundless magic power, she built the garden. The abandoned garden and old house have been transformed into a new look, just like a dead tree that has come back to life in spring. Hi ya hi hi yo, hi ya hi hi yo, just like a dead tree that has come back to life in spring. Hi ya hi hi yo, hi ya hi hi yo, just like a dead tree that has come back to life in spring."
The monologue sounded again, "On this day, it was the third day of the third lunar month. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing went to the West Lake to look for their benefactor. Bai Suzhen finally met Xu Xian, the reincarnation of a shepherd boy, on the Broken Bridge."
The audience in the audience held pastries in one hand and teacups in the other, drinking tea and eating pastries while enjoying the performance on stage, feeling very comfortable.
Everyone was deeply attracted by the play "The Legend of White Snake" and watched it with great fascination.
It was not until the actors and actresses reached the part where Bai Suzhen reveals her true form, Xu Xian's soul returns to the underworld, and Suzhen steals the magic herb to save her husband that they bowed out and left, leaving the audience feeling a little unsatisfied.
Especially the ladies, they were all moved to tears by the love story of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. "Bai Suzhen is so loyal and righteous. Although she is a fairy, she is grateful and loyal. She helped her husband to open Baoan Hall and practice medicine to save the world. She even risked her life to save her husband."
"Yes, yes, this Bai Suzhen is so great, she is really a wonderful woman, this story is so touching, I really want to see the sequel."
Pumpkin went on stage again and said, "There are a total of ten scenes in The Legend of White Snake. Today's show will end here. If you want to watch the sequel, you can continue to come to our garden tomorrow to drink tea and eat snacks. You can reserve a seat in advance, first come first served."
Those who can come to Banri Qinghuan Garden to drink tea are basically the rich people in the county. Ordinary poor people are busy making money to support their families, and few of them have the leisure time to come and drink tea and listen to opera.
For these wealthy people, drinking tea and listening to opera is a spiritual enjoyment, and they can afford the money, so everyone paid money to reserve a table, just wanting to quickly grab the best seat so that they can continue to listen to opera in the teahouse tomorrow.
Everyone thinks that the story of "The Legend of White Snake" is particularly exciting, and the tunes in it are so beautiful.
After the performance, some guests paid their bills and left, while others continued to drink tea, chat and eat melon seeds in the teahouse.
Qianhuan changed her clothes and came out to greet Chu Yichen and his table first. When Lan'er saw her coming, she immediately said happily: "Qianhuan, who wrote this play "The Legend of the White Snake"? It is so touching and wonderful. I will come to the garden to listen to the play tomorrow."
"Lan'er, this story of "The Legend of White Snake" is made up by me. I'm glad you like it. I'll reserve a good seat for you tomorrow." Qianhuan silently apologized to the original author in her heart. She could only borrow it.
"Qianhua, you are simply an all-rounder. You can make sugar-roasted chestnuts, and you know many delicious recipes. Now you can also make milk tea and write stories. Lan'er is simply in awe of you."
Unfortunately, her mother despised Qianhuan's background, and Qianhuan had no romantic interest in her brother, otherwise, she really hoped that Qianhuan could be her sister-in-law.
Chu Yichen also looked at Qianhuan with admiration, "Qianhuan, where did you invite that Qingyin master from? I have a cousin who loves music and has a hobby of collecting good music scores. If there is a chance, I hope you can introduce this master to my cousin."
When Chu Yichen mentioned his cousin, Qianhuan remembered the man in scarlet clothes. She remembered that when she went to Xunfang Pavilion to perform, the young man spent one hundred taels of silver to buy the score of her song "Human Fireworks".
Qianhuan didn't want to let others know that she could play the piano for the time being, so she deliberately said, "Brother Lin'an, I only met this master by chance. He usually comes and goes without a trace, and leaves after the performance. I don't know when I can see him next time. If I catch up with the opportunity, I will definitely help your cousin introduce him."
"Okay, thank you in advance, brother."
After chatting for a few words, Qianhuan went to do her work. The Chu family drank tea for a while and then got on the carriage to go home.
When it was time to close the shop at night, Qianhuan counted all the money she had earned. After deducting the costs, she actually made a net profit of more than two hundred taels of silver in that day.
But she also knew that this was the first day of opening, and business was booming because of the promotions. In the future, there would definitely be fewer people and she would earn less.
However, Qianhuan felt that even if business was worse in the future, she estimated that she should be able to earn at least one hundred or eighty taels of silver every day.
In the evening, Qianhuan and Yinhua went to buy a lot of vegetables together. Qiukui, Qiu Ming and Qiu Shui prepared two tables of rich meals for everyone.
Liu and Liang Lao Er also ate with everyone. Qian Huan said, "Thank you for your hard work today. Keep up the good work tomorrow. Everyone should try to do their job well. As long as the teahouse business is booming, you will get your reward money."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately filled with energy. Ever since they followed their master Qianhuan, they all felt that their lives were becoming more and more promising.
After dinner, Qianhuan asked Ji Feng to drive her parents back, and Manager Ji also brought Yinhe home to help.
Before leaving, Qianhuan instructed, "Mom and Dad, you all need to prepare everything the workshop needs, and continue to purchase soybeans. The teahouse has just opened these few days, so I have to help out in the shop. When I'm done, I'll go back to make soy sauce."
"Well, Qianhuan, don't worry. You don't have to worry about things at home. Your father and I will take care of it. Besides, we have Manager Ji to help."
"it is good."
