Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 493 Yi County Magistrate
It's a pity that as soon as he climbed onto the stage, he was directly lifted off the stage by a pair of ruthless hands, one on each side.

Xu Da laughed and said, "There is no show for you today."

The brother and sister felt lost, drooped their heads unhappily, broke away from grandpa's grasp, and went to play with their uncle and aunt.

In the lobby of the restaurant, the performance officially began.

In order to make it easier to do promotional performances in various places, Wen Qing and others' performances are based on local materials, as convenient as possible.

If there are no gongs and drums to make the soundtrack, the wooden barrels are used upside down, and the wooden sticks are hit on it to form the ready-made background music.

There are also people who are good at ventriloquists dubbing behind the scenes, and a stage that is not bad is created.

The performance is in the form of a drama, with dance and acrobatics mixed in, all spoken and sung in vernacular, and there is no threshold for watching. Even beggars with abnormal mental states on the street can understand and see clearly.

This kind of down-to-earth performance is very new to people, even if you see a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries performing elegant performances, and occasionally change your taste, you can still watch it with gusto.

Coupled with the existence of various magic effects, it is simply dazzling.

After a performance in which the fourth son of Qi angrily beat Wang Dabiao, the hall was full of voices scolding the villain Wang Dabiao.

People were very emotional, and the performers were so realistic that they were almost thrown with rotten leaves.

But I have to say that the effect of the program is directly full.

People at this time are different from modern audiences. There is little entertainment in the first place. Even if you have watched a play once, you will not feel tired after watching it several times.

There are still many people who failed to catch up with this play. People who have seen it say that the play is very wonderful, and they come here especially for the name.

Therefore, that afternoon, the lobby of the restaurant was immediately full, and even the private rooms and backyard space were rented out, just to come and see this fresh play.

Some people watched, the theater troupe performed, and when one was tired, the other was replaced. The big guys took turns to play, and even Xu Yue, father and son, who played soy sauce, also went on stage and ran a few tricks.

At this moment, the officials of Yi County who were watching the play did not expect that the leader of the Xu family army was actually right under their noses, and he went up to the stage and played tricks several times.

It was just one play, but the people in Yi County didn't feel tired of watching it at all. Xu Yue and others performed the same show twice a day in the restaurant for three days in a row, and the shows were full.

In the past few days, the restaurant has made a lot of money just by selling tea and cakes.

Caravans from other places heard the excitement here, and they all came here to stay here to join in the fun.

On the day when the business was the best, the next day's rooms were booked after ten o'clock in the morning.

A small county restaurant can make such a big commotion, successfully arousing the curiosity of the magistrate of Yi County.

So, on the day when the troupe changed the play of Qi Laosi beating Wang Dabiao angrily into the play "Xu Jiajun", an open luxury carriage drove up in front of the gate of the restaurant.

In front of the carriage, the officials cleared the way.

On the carriage, the magistrate of Yi County and his family were sitting there, looking curiously into the restaurant.

Seeing this kind of ostentation, the ordinary people crowded in front of the restaurant subconsciously silenced and backed away, not daring to provoke them.

Soon, a passage was automatically revealed in front of the gate of the restaurant, which was still crowded before.

The county magistrate and his family members in casual clothes walked in with the help of the servant girl, and the people knelt on the ground in front of the door.

The noisy restaurant became quiet. In the face of absolute power, the common people couldn't make their own voices at all, and they didn't dare to speak out.

It was around eleven o'clock in the morning, and there was still an hour before the Xu Jiajun performance at noon. Xu Yue and others were cleaning the stage.

The twins were playing on their own offstage, occasionally being mischievous, but it was harmless, and the guys in the restaurant would help take care of them a few times.

They like these two cute little dolls who look exactly the same and know how to juggle.

The two little people were playing, and suddenly found that the noisy lobby behind them quieted down at some point.

Turning his head in a strange way, he saw a man and woman in luxurious clothes, leading two seven or eight-year-old children, walking slowly with the help of a servant.

Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan were stunned for a moment, and soon realized that the silence in the lobby was due to the arrival of these people.

The female shopkeeper rushed out from the backyard in a hurry, and hurriedly slowed down before arriving in front of the group of people, so as not to be impolite.

She was a little flustered, not because the county magistrate's family came to the restaurant, but because she was worried that the troupe would bring bad things about Xu Jiajun's performance.

But no matter what, the county magistrate has come, so she can only bite the bullet and greet carefully.

"I don't know that my lord, my wife, my son, and my lady are coming, and I am far away from welcoming you. I hope that my lord and my wife will forgive me!"

The female shopkeeper bowed deeply, her head was about to plunge into the ground.

The county magistrate of Yi County is a young man in his thirties, with a medium build, good facial features, a goatee that is popular nowadays, wearing a Confucian shirt, and a literati attire.

The young woman next to him was wearing a mixed-style skirt with colorful skirts, standing among a group of people in yellow and gray linen, she looked very different.

This is a beautiful lady, and it can be seen from her uniform that she belongs to the noble class.

Yi County is considered a small place in Jizhou, but it is not so inconspicuous.

It is located at the junction of You and Hebei, with direct commercial roads, and has always been very prosperous. To be able to be a county magistrate in Yi County, there must be someone in the family.

Standing behind the stage, Xu Yue watched the female shopkeeper groveling and flattering the magistrate and his wife, while the husband and wife acted as if they should take it for granted, even a little disgusted, and felt very uncomfortable.

The female shopkeeper called the waiters to bring clean mats and table futons. The maid next to the couple gave the waiters a disgusted look, took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped a little oil stain on the table several times. Kneel down, raise your arms high, and let the hosts sit with the support.

This is the so-called aristocratic style.

As soon as the county magistrate and his wife arrived, there was no one standing in the lobby anymore, and the businessmen who had paid for the table earlier silently retreated out thinking that more things would be better than less things.

In the end, the only guests left in the lobby were a few gentry who seemed to have a little friendship with the county magistrate and were careful to flatter them, and a few foreign merchants who didn't know why.

The county magistrate didn't clear the place on purpose, but he didn't say any kind words of "please ignore me, what are you supposed to do".

It seems that the concessions of ordinary people and businessmen are justified, and they have long been accustomed to it.

And those ordinary people and merchants also consciously abide by the so-called rules formulated by the top and bottom, and dare not go beyond them.

After everyone had taken their own seats, Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan, who were still standing in front of the stage with their eyes wide open and curiously observing the changes around them, looked very eye-catching.

"Whose child is that? Why don't you take it down!" the maid in front of the county magistrate's wife asked sharply.
