As evening approached, the sun was setting, leaving only a few remnants of light shining on the city.The lanterns used to facilitate pedestrians on the street gradually light up, and the most eye-catching one is naturally the street covered with glazed lanterns.

Passersby on the street do not bring lanterns, because the hanging lights on the buildings on both sides are bright enough.There are constant boats coming and going on the river, some playing the flute and trumpeting in it, and some singing and chanting poetry in it.Inside and outside the alley, within ten steps, you will surely see several paper lanterns with the word "wine" or "tea" written on them.This is the most prosperous time for wine shops and tea shops. Under the paper lanterns, people must be full of people, laughing and playing.And the way more people choose to pastime is to go to Liuli Pavilion.

There is a wooden sign hanging next to the door of the Liuli Pavilion, and it is written with ink and water on the drama of today and tomorrow, for the guests to choose when they come, so there are usually many people gathered there.Everyone was leaning against each other, their chests against their backs, just to know the content of the performance as soon as possible.The visitors were male and female, old and young, row upon row.The guests who received special treatment will be located in the second floor of the lounge to watch operas and listen to books.

On the first floor, facing the direction of the gate, a high platform was erected. On both sides of the high platform, there were mahogany stairs leading upstairs.Above the high platform is the pavilion on the second floor.Guests on the second and third floors can see the performances on the stage through the pavilion, while the fourth floor is sealed with a caisson and completely separated from the three floors below.At this time, in front of the mahogany ladders on both sides of the high platform, a warm-up performance is being performed.

"Qiangqiang!" A man sitting on a special high stool banged on a gong and shouted, "Everyone, all the villagers, fathers and elders, handsome men and beauties, come and have a look and listen!"

Everyone looked at the sound, and there was a middle-aged man with a beard on the top and bottom of his lips, a white hat on his head, and a white robe with a few ink-colored bamboo patterns on his robe. He shouted, "I'm Huang Banxian today. The story of 'Yangcheng Renxia' wiping out bandits." As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Banxian banged the gong again and continued: "In other words, 'Yangcheng Renxia' is not only smart and powerful, but also has a very strange appearance. The arms are as thick as the thighs of ordinary people; the waist is as strong as a thousand-year-old locust tree; it looks like a dragon and a tiger. Just a slight look of anger will scare the thieves into the shit..."

The five Bai Feng, who were in the second floor, were also listening to the story, waiting for Gan Xi to come by appointment.The five people sat around a round table with several samples of melons, fruits and snacks, and several teacups and wine utensils. They listened to the book while eating and drinking.

Ajuan happened to be the only one of them who didn't know about the Yangcheng accident, so he was slightly puzzled by the sneering reaction of the other four after hearing the story, and asked, "Why, isn't this Ren Xia a hero?"

Murong Yan leaned next to Bai Feng and replied, "Miss Ajuan, what do you think Brother Feng looks like?"

"Fair and clean, she's quite handsome, but she's a little thin." Ajuan looked at it for a while, and joked, "The two of you look alike, so is this what people often call a 'husband and wife'? Really It's enviable!"

Bai Feng and Murong Yan looked at each other, then nodded and smiled.

Seeing Ajuan being so naughty, Zhao Kuo said, "Ajuan, don't make fun of them. In fact, the person Huang Banxian said was Brother Bai."

"What?" Ajuan said in disbelief: "This is too different from what Mr. Storyteller described..."

Leaning less, there was a new high stool at the entrance of the stairs on the other side. The person on the stool was Ding Chunqiu in black hat and gray robe.He beat the gong to Huang Banxian and said, "Old ghost Huang, today is clearly my place, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Huang Banxian replied, "It's first come, first served. What's the point between you and me? If you really have the skills, take the guests back?"

Ding Chunqiu was furious, he banged a few gongs in a row, and roared: "In recent months, the massacre of the 'Dragon Tiger Villa' that has caused a sensation in the arena, few people know the inside story. It just so happens that I know a little about it... "

The people in the hall were particularly excited after hearing this.Immediately, they turned to Ding Chunqiu's place and threw the copper coins on him in his direction.If it is interesting to receive a play, throw money at the other party to show support. This is the customary rule of Liuli Pavilion.

No matter how Huang Banxian was retained, he couldn't stop people's curiosity.

Seeing the wealth rolling in, Ding Chunqiu smiled happily, and he didn't give a shit, and began to say: "There is a rule in this Longhu Villa: 'Anyone who has seen the unique skills in the village, if he doesn't die, he must leave an external organ of his body'. Therefore, Dragon Tiger Villa is well-known in the martial arts world, and its ferocious and vicious 'Dragon Tiger Overlord Fist' has repelled many people who think they are powerful. Because of this, it has provoked the hatred of many colleagues and even people in the court... …”

"It turns out that Tiger Eye's house was destroyed!" Zhao Xiaomei whispered.After a while, she suddenly saw Ganxi looking around by the corridor, so she called to the distance: "Master Gan, we are here!"

Ganxi waved his hand in response, walked over, and said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, isn't it a pleasure to be here?"

Zhao Kuo replied: "Young Master Gan is really polite. Your Excellency's Liuli Pavilion is very interesting. It's really a unique place!"

Suddenly, the crowd downstairs was abnormally surging, disturbing that Ding Chunqiu and urging him to leave quickly.

"Old Daoist, let's go! Don't block the Le team from entering the arena."

"The songs and dances that Mei Niang sang really made people feel relaxed and happy. It's a pity that she only wanted to sing and dance for the son of the family, so I only saw Mei Niang on stage once."

"You said, is the son of the Gan family also here today?"

Due to the indignation of the crowd, Ding Chunqiu had to get off the high stool, pushed it aside, and watched the team with various musical instruments pass by.The flute, drums, and chimes are all ready off stage, and they only owe the beauties on stage.After a moment, accompanied by the cheers of everyone, Mei Niang, dressed in white gauze, slowly paced out.She was barefoot, her skirt was pleated, her sleeves were long to the ground, and a white ribbon wrapped around her body.There is no crown on the head, only a ponytail is simply tied with a knot, and it is dragged on the back, which is graceful and elegant.With only light makeup on her face, she looked completely different from the Mei Niang who was dressed in purple that day.

"Ha, what new song did this Mei Niang make?" Gan Xi joked while leaning on the railing.

With the sound of the guqin, Xiao Se followed, the bell and drum struck, and Mei Niang's body danced to the rhythm.The long sleeves are matched with white silk ribbons, which is quite the feeling of a fairy in the sky.After shaking and spinning for a while, she raised her long sleeves to her face and began to sing:
The moon is shining brightly, the leading people are all over the place, and the comforts are stealing and correcting.Calm down!
The moon rises brightly, the outstanding people are stunned, and the comforts and sorrows come.Work hard!
The moon is shining, the outstanding people are burning, and Shu Yao is shining.Labor is miserable!
Mei Niang danced gently along with the song, every frown and smile was amorous.During the dance, her eyes are constantly searching for the location of the dry seal.

"Finally found the young master!" Mei Niang thought to herself, her eyes looking at Gan Xi upstairs.The other party knew it and waved his hand in return.

After a while, the music and dance are over.Seeing that Mei Niang had left the stage, Gan Xi turned around and sat down, waiting for the beautiful lady to come and discuss important matters.

"This trip is really a feast for the eyes. This kind of singing and dancing performance is only for the son of the goddess. I am really envious of others!" Zhao Kuo said while drinking: "Brother Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Feng pursed his lips and said, "I've never seen a similar singing and dancing performance before. But Mei Niang's graceful figure and ethereal voice are truly breathtaking."

"You two are really flattering." Gan Xi said politely.After a while, Mei Niang changed back to the purple clothes and came to the crowd.Seeing this, Gan Bi hurriedly stood up to greet her and said, "Mei Niang, how are you doing recently?"

"Thank you for the son's blessing, Mei Niang is very good." Mei Niang made a Wanfu Xianggan Seal, which was very dignified.Seeing this strange situation, the other five people felt that this Mei Niang was just acting on the scene, but only after knowing her relationship with Gan Xi, this judgment was overturned...

At the same time, an acquaintance wearing a bucket hat sneaked into the Liuli Pavilion quietly through the crowd, in order to get close to Murong Yan and find an opportunity to achieve his goal.
