Chapter 696

Chapter 696
Yunxia's crystal-like jade eyes are extremely beautiful, as if there are many stars dotted in the shimmering light, looking forward to shine.Even though she had turned her head back, those beautiful eyes were still engraved in Ming Guang's mind, never to be forgotten.

The surrounding discussions were far away from Mingguang, and the world seemed to be frozen in those beautiful eyes.

When the discussion in the crowd was almost over, the second uncle stretched out his hand and pressed down again, motioning for everyone to be quiet.Then he announced in a loud voice that next, Ya Liyuan will bring you a wonderful performance. You are welcome to move to the lobby of the restaurant to watch.

Ya Liyuan?Is it the most famous opera troupe in the capital?

The crowd exploded again.

The few people sent by Lord Guan heard the gasping of the surrounding people, because those people went to inquire just now, and they were all stunned when they found out that the troupe they had invited was the famous Ya Liyuan they were talking about.

The few people couldn't help but glanced at each other, with an imperceptible smile on their faces.

Yaliyuan is very famous, and it's hard to get hired, but they just bought our Master Guan's face.Hey, what a proud thing.

The people around followed the crowd and were still discussing the topic of Ya Liyuan.

One of them was the first to speak: "We are right today, we can see Ya Liyuan's performance, and we will make a lot of money."

Another person who probably knew the inside story answered: "It's not easy to invite Ya Liyuan, you have to wait in a long line."

A person next to him nodded and said: "I know, I heard that you must make an appointment to invite Ya Liyuan, unless you are a relative of the emperor, otherwise you have to wait."

The person who spoke first said thoughtfully: "Liji Restaurant belongs to General Huwei's family. The people in Ya Liyuan must respect the General very much, so they came to congratulate him."

After hearing this, Lord Guan's followers all nodded involuntarily.

Of course, General Huwei has a great reputation. He is stationed at the border, defending his home and country, and has made great efforts for everyone's happy and peaceful life. He should definitely be respected and supported.

Our Lord Guan is one of the supporters of General Huwei!Of course we are also supporters of General Tiger!
Thinking of this, they involuntarily straightened their backs and raised their chests.

According to the rules, the people who sit in the lobby are basically diners who want to eat later, so the people who just watched the excitement have dispersed at this time, but there are still many people left. At the door, I saw that the lobby of the restaurant was almost full.

If it was later, they might not be able to get in, so they could only stand outside.

There were several young ladies in uniform clothes standing at the door. When they saw them, they bowed down and saluted, and said in unison: "Welcome!"
They suddenly felt that they were looked at high, so they hurriedly bowed their hands in return, with even bigger smiles on their faces.

This feeling of being respected is very comfortable, not only a few followers think so, but also other diners who come in have the same feeling.

To be honest, Liji Restaurant has brought them a lot of surprises today. I don't know what kind of surprises will come next?The diners pouring into the restaurant were all looking forward to it.

Soon the private rooms and lobby of the restaurant were full, and there were still many people standing in the open space around the lobby, waiting for the second round.

The originally spacious lobby of the restaurant suddenly became crowded, and the entertainers of Yaliyuan were ready to perform as long as the owner called to start.

After the people who entered the restaurant sat down in order, the waiter shuttled among them, and after serving herbal tea to each table, Yun Xianiang turned her head and told the person in charge of Ya Liyuan who was standing beside her that it was time to start.

The person in charge of Ya Liyuan respectfully replied yes, and then gestured to the entertainers waiting over there. Soon, a beautiful young lady standing in front of the stage walked up to the high stage.

The little lady is wearing stage makeup, with snowy skin and beautiful face, and is decorated with rich clothes, making her look glamorous and moving.

She stood in the middle of the stage, and the commotion in the hall became even worse, and someone who knew the person shouted excitedly: "This is Eleven Niang with the golden voice, and her singing is like fairy music."

Someone nearby immediately echoed: "Yes, Eleven Niang with a golden voice has a great reputation. Someone has heard of it. Today can be regarded as seeing a real person."

After hearing what they said, the people around them all focused their attention on this eleventh lady with the golden voice.

Eleven Niang stood still with a smile on her face. After bowing to salute, she first read a congratulatory speech, congratulating Li Ji Restaurant on its reopening, and the business is booming in the future.

There were applause from the lobby and the private room upstairs.

In the private room facing the stage, Yunxia couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and happily said to her mother, "Mother, look, the atmosphere at the scene today is too hot, our opening ceremony is half the success."

"Why did Xia'er say she was half successful?" Yun Xianiang, who was holding a teacup, looked at her daughter with a smile and asked.

Yunxia was drinking tea, and Mingguang simply answered on her behalf: "Auntie, half of it is the taste of the restaurant food. It will be considered a success after getting the affirmation of the diners."

"Mingguang is so right, it's exactly what I think in my heart." Yunxia put down the teacup and praised Mingguang with her eyes bent: "You still understand me!"

Yunxianiang looked at Mingguang, then at Yunxia, ​​and raised her sleeve to cover her mouth.

She was afraid that she would grin too much when she smiled, so she had better hide it.However, Yun Xianiang could only cover her mouth, but she couldn't hide the smile between her eyebrows.

Fortunately, Eleven Niang opened her voice at this moment.

She lifted her hair and raised her sleeves, and sang with a singing voice, the noise of the whole restaurant stopped abruptly, and there was silence in the hall.

This singing is simple, it's really nice.

The singing is melodious, sweet and sweet, like fairy music.The audience were deeply immersed in it, and after the song was over, her voice was still flying around, endlessly.

Eleven Niang bowed to thank her, and after she turned around and stepped off the stage, everyone seemed to realize it, and then they all yelled wildly, some even yelled, expressing that they did not enjoy themselves and wanted to hear Eleven Niang sing again.

Eleven Niang, who stepped off the stage, had to smile at the audience, bowed again, and then made a gesture of invitation to the stage, signaling everyone to continue watching the next program of Yaliyuan.

Nine men had already stood on the stage, each with a drum in front of them. It seemed that this program was drumming.

The man in the middle announced loudly that they would play drum music for everyone to celebrate the reopening of Liji Restaurant.

The man didn't talk much, so he started to play the drums after speaking.But he didn't go directly to the drum like other men, but walked to the edge of the stage, took a flat bowl from the artist standing in front of the stage, and held it to the middle of the stage with both hands.

The restaurant became quiet again, and everyone stared at him wondering what he was going to do, very curious.

He lowered the bowl and asked the audience near the stage to look at it, and asked everyone to help him prove that the bowl was filled with water.

Those who looked at the water in the bowl shouted loudly: There is water in the bowl.

Only then was the man satisfied, and he raised his hand and pushed the bowl directly on his head, and walked unhurriedly to stand behind his drum.

The whole audience was in an uproar, this is going to play drums with a bowl on it, it is so eye-opening.

Yun Xianiang even stood up suddenly, and hurriedly walked to the window to look.

She also beckoned to Yunxia and Mingguang, telling them to come and see, saying that they could see it more clearly.Yunxia and Mingguang obediently walked over, standing on either side of her, one on the left and one on the right.

Yunxia Niang was surrounded by two children, she was very satisfied.

The drums on the stage have already sounded, it is a very cheerful drum music, it is very suitable to celebrate the opening.

The men all bent their legs and circled their waists, guarding behind the drums like tigers squatting on a mountain. The drumsticks in their hands were flying, and the majestic drum music resounded in the hall, making the listeners feel excited and happy.

Good, good, good shouts one after another, to be honest, the drum music is very nice.

The most amazing thing is the man in the middle with the bowl on his head. Like the man next to him, he beats the drum according to the rhythm. The bowl filled with water didn't affect him at all.

This is truly a feat.

After the men finished playing the drums, all the audience's eyes were on the man in the middle.

He probably also understood the thoughts of the audience, so he walked out of the queue, took the bowl off his head, and showed it to the crowded audience in front of the stage again.Sure enough, there was still so much water in the bowl. Some viewers reached out and touched the surrounding bowl, and found that it was dry, which proved that the water in the bowl did not overflow at all.

This fact quickly spread throughout the restaurant through them, and there was thunderous applause.

Taking advantage of the excitement here, a group of young ladies filed out from a room vacated by the restaurant, and waited in front of the stage, ready to appear.

The men stood in a row, bowed in four directions, east, west, north and south, and then left the high platform.

The applause in the hall continued for a while, and it gradually died down when the little ladies got on the high platform.

Seeing that they were all wearing exquisite loose dance clothes, Yunxia smiled and told her mother and Mingguang that the next program is dancing.

Ming Guang nodded and answered her: "Exactly, Yaliyuan's dance is very exquisite, you and your aunt will see it later."

Yunxia made a gesture of polishing her eyes on purpose, expressing that she would wait and see.

"Mingguang is right. When I went to find Mrs. Tian to help Runtu Daddy find a suitable house, I chatted with Mrs. Tian and heard her mention that there is a new dance in this Ya Liyuan recently. I guess today's performance is likely to be this New dance."

Whether Yun Xianiang's guess is right or not, she will know right away.

After the dancers on the high stage bowed to the people around them, two young servants carried the piano and placed it in a corner of the stage.

One of the dancers walked out of the queue and sat directly behind the piano.Upon closer inspection, this girl is no different from other dancers, only her hairstyle is different.Although her black hair was also tied into a beauty bun, it was different from other dancers who only had one bun. Her hair was divided into two corners, each with a short pearl hairpin.

The beads on the pearl hairpin were very large, and they shone brightly as her head shook.

Her hand caressed the strings of the zither, and the gurgling sound rushed out quickly, it was still a cheerful piece of music.

"Mingguang, the Ya Liyuan you found is very caring. In order to fit the theme of the restaurant's opening, no matter the songs, drum music, or dance music are all cheerful, it's really good. I will thank them again for my aunt." Yun Xianiang was very happy. Glad, I turned around and asked Mingguang for his help.

"Auntie, don't worry, Ming Guang has recorded it."

Yunxia smiled and said, mother, we should thank Mingguang's father the most. If it wasn't for his face, Ya Liyuan might not be able to invite him at all.

"Yes, yes, Mingguang also brought our thanks." Yun Xianiang said while winking at Mingguang.

Mingguang nodded yes, saying that he would definitely bring it.

As soon as the prelude to the dance music was over, the dancers began to dance gracefully.I saw them as light as swallows in the air and as beautiful as butterflies among flowers.Accompanied by the sound of the zither, graceful dances are performed: spinning, swinging sleeves, leaning over, or raising the head; pointing slender feet, swinging the waist, turning the neck and shaking the head... Let the audience hold their breath and watch with incomparable concentration .

The skirt fluttered on the stage, like a dream; the audience praised and clapped their hands and cheered.

The dance, which has already brought a good audio-visual enjoyment, suddenly opened a new chapter that is even more amazing.

All of a sudden, the dancers gathered together, and when they turned around again, the emerald green smoked gauze dance skirts they were wearing uniformly turned pink.

Now, the hall was full of exclamations.

The audience who were very close to the stage didn't see how they changed, so after a brief surprise, they all asked each other and discussed, and the topic naturally revolved around the cross-dressing.

But before they had any discussion, the dancers started the second part of the dance.

Everyone had to stop discussing and continue to watch the dance that made them reluctant to turn their eyes away.

Yunxia stood on a high place, and because of Mingguang's reminder, she watched carefully, and clearly detected the mystery of the dancers' disguise.

In fact, this kind of cross-dressing is much simpler to operate than the face-changing in Sichuan opera.

The original emerald green smoked gauze dance skirts of the dancers were loose blouses. When they gathered together and turned their backs to the audience, they took off the emerald green smoked gauze dance skirts from the neckline and immediately put them in their arms. In a pink embroidered bag.

Because they have been specially trained, their movements are fast, and their graceful dancing posture first attracted the attention of the audience, so everyone didn't notice the action of changing clothes for a while, and they were all surprised and inexplicable.

The eyes were originally full of greenery, but in an instant it was pink, and the visual impact must have been great.

"Xia'er, how did you do this?" Yun Xianiang didn't understand either, so she grabbed her daughter's hand and asked.

Although Ming Guang knew that there was a new dance, he didn't know what it was. When he watched it just now, he was embarrassed to stare at the dancer, so he is not very clear now.When Yun Xianiang asked Yun Xia, she immediately turned to look at Yun Xia, waiting for her to answer her questions.

So Yunxia told her mother and Mingguang about her discovery in detail, and the two of them suddenly realized that it turned out to be so, what a scheming and skillful workmanship!

"Xia'er, if I wear another color under the pink dance skirt, wouldn't it be possible to continue to change? Then everyone will be dazzled and enjoy themselves." Yun Xianiang suddenly thought of this layer, and immediately yelled.

Yunxia shook her head and said, "Mother, it is theoretically possible, but the chances of being discovered would be high. Besides, where to put the changed clothes is also a problem. It was spotted immediately."

After listening to her daughter's explanation, Yun Xianiang felt that it made sense, and it was because her daughter was thoughtful.

 I have something to go out today, and I hurried after I came back and finally finished writing the two-in-one chapter, Kaisen~
