female catcher

Chapter 111
As soon as Xia Chu finished speaking, the man's expression changed immediately, and he retreated like crazy, dragging Xia Chu to a standstill.Xia Chu was holding two purses in one hand and couldn't get them free. After all, his strength in one hand was limited, so he broke free and watched the man disappear like a rabbit.

Su Zhen came over and asked her what was going on, Xia Chu just shrugged and said, "A thief, he ran away."

"Why didn't you call me for help?"

"There are too many people, and I don't want to make too much noise. Turning around, the crowd is so angry that one kick is enough to kill him. Forget it, anyway, I got back the purse I stole." Xia Chu weighed his hands He turned around and patted the second person who was stolen, saying that his purse was lost.

The man thanked him and put away the purse, Xia Chu went to the side to find the first person who was stolen.When he got to the side of the man, he patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, you lost your purse."

The man turned around for a moment, looked down at the purse in Xia Chu's hand, then hurriedly withdrew from the crowd, took it with both hands, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother."

When Su Zhen saw this person, he gasped. He was about to dodge to the side but it was already too late. The man opened his mouth in surprise when he looked up and saw Su Zhen, and almost threw the purse in his hand, "Emperor... ..."

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Su Zhen quickly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, turned his back to Xia Chu and gave him a wink, shook his head lightly, and said, "Mr. Li, what a coincidence? "

When Xia Chu saw the situation, he said, "Young Master Huang, so you know each other?"

Su Zhen turned around and smiled at her, "Yes, this is Li Tan, Young Master Li." While speaking, he squeezed Li Tan's shoulder vigorously.

Li Tan didn't expect to meet the emperor here, the serious sense of unreality blinded him for a moment, until Su Zhen's strength brought him back to his senses.Although he is a scholar, he is not stupid after all. He immediately understood Su Zhen's meaning, adjusted his mood and immediately entered the play, and said to Xia Chu: "It's a pleasure to meet you. It turns out that we are all friends. I really want to thank you ..."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my surname is Xia." Xia Chu said.

"Oh, thank you so much Mr. Xia." Li Tan looked at Xia Chu and then at Su Zhen, "Then you two are busy, so I won't bother you."

"Is Mr. Li not listening to the opera?" Xia Chu asked.

Li Tanxin said how dare I listen to dramas!Isn't it enough to see this show today?

"I'm just passing by, passing by." He turned his head and glanced at Yue Xiaohong's carriage, "Just in time for Yue Xiaohong to come, I just joined in the fun. I have something else to do, and if I have a chance to chat with Mr. Xia some other day .”

When Su Zhen heard this, he hurriedly said: "Since Mr. Li has something to do, I won't delay you. Another day... I really want to have a good talk with you."

"Hehe." Li Tan stepped back while cupping his hands, "Don't dare, oh, I mean yes, yes." After speaking, he nodded to Xia Chu, turned around and walked away quickly as if fleeing.

Li Tan had just walked two steps away, when a girl dressed as a young master jumped out and said loudly: "Li Tan, you found..."

Li Tan covered her mouth and dragged her out of the sight of Su Zhen and Xia Chu.Xia Chu watched from a distance, secretly smiled, and said to Su Zhen in a low voice: "I know why Mr. Li runs so fast."

Su Zhen was startled, he didn't dare to turn his head, he just took a peek at Xia Chu's expression, and asked carefully, "Why?"

"Didn't you see the young man who was looking for him just now? With such a small stature, he must be a girl. This Mr. Li probably secretly invited a lady from some family to watch a play, so he was afraid that you would see him."

Su Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Probably so."

An Liang came back, wiped his forehead after finding Su Zhen, and took the opportunity to claim credit: "My lord, today is Yue Xiaohong's play, and the location is hard to find, but the young one took a lot of effort to find it." It's a private seat near the stage on the second floor."

"Really?" Su Zhen smiled at An Liang, tapped his shoulder with his finger, turned to Xia Chu and said, "Let's go."

In an alley not far away, Min Feng watched Su Zhen go into the theater building, then put away the dagger in his hand, and said to a young man in Chinese clothes who was shaking like chaff in front of him, "How much?"

The son cried and said: "How much do you want..., I, how much will I give, strong man, don't...don't kill me."

Min Feng frowned lightly, "Elegant seat tea money."

"what?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Min Feng didn't bother to ask anymore, took out a bank note and stuffed it into his arms, patted it, "Let's go."

"what?"

"Go home." After Min Feng finished speaking, he hid the dagger in his sleeve and turned back into the crowd.The young man in Huayi was stunned for a long while before he remembered to take out the banknote from his pocket to take a look. After reading it, he scratched his head and muttered in a low voice with a crying face: "Well, what does this mean..."

Su Zhen and Xia Chu split up the flow of people and walked towards the entrance of Taiguang Building. It was a bit difficult for Xia Chu to walk in the crowd, but he was very happy.In the past, she had never heard of opera except for a few episodes in the Spring Festival Gala, but she has always longed for places like theater buildings.

She really wanted to see and experience those actors who were called bosses, those young masters and ladies who spent a lot of money on their roles, and those applause from all over the house.

The gate of Taiguang Building was crowded by people.The seats inside were already full, but there were still a group of people who wanted to find a place to stand. The very poor doorman stood with his hips akimbo at the door, pleading with gods and swearing at ghosts, but they all turned back.

Looking at him on tiptoe at the beginning of Xia, he felt that he was fighting with others, so he couldn't help laughing secretly.I didn't pay attention here, a big man squeezed out from the crowd, and went straight to Xia Chu and bumped into him.

Seeing this, Su Zhen raised his hand to wrap around Xia Chu's shoulder, and pulled her in front of him.Before Xia Chu could react, he caught off guard and leaned on Su Zhen's shoulder.

"There are too many people, be careful." Su Zhen lowered his head and instructed.

Xia Chu nodded subconsciously, and when the pleasant fragrance from Su Zhen's body wafted into her nostrils, she suddenly realized that she was leaning against Su Zhen's body.The temperature of Su Zhen's palm was clearly burned on Xia Chu's shoulders through the material of the clothes, making her tense all over and standing up straight.

A stiff little bird dependent state.

Xia Chu raised his eyes to peek at Su Zhen, then quickly avoided his eyes, for fear that he would turn his head to look at him, see his face was hot, and see his nervousness.

Su Zhen removed his hand from her shoulder, feeling inexplicably anxious, forced a smile, and said to Xia Chu: "That's abrupt."

"No, it's okay. People, there are really a lot of people." Xia Chu chuckled, cleared his throat, and was about to move away from Su Zhen when he was suddenly bumped from behind.As soon as she lowered her head, she knocked her forehead directly on Su Zhen's mouth.

Xia Chu hurriedly raised his head back, staring at Su Zhen dumbfounded.Su Zhen also looked at her, his heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"Yes... I'm sorry." Xia Chu touched his forehead and looked at his fingers. Fortunately, there was not much oil.

No, not right!She despised herself, and now she is not worried about the problem of getting oily!
"You..." Xia Chu reached out his hand to touch Su Zhen's mouth, but when he raised his hand, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he touched his own nose instead, "It doesn't hurt, does it?"

Su Zhen's mind was a little confused, and he answered irrelevantly: "It seems that you can go to the second floor over there."

"That's really good." Xia Chu also responded indiscriminately.The two of them rushed to the steps without saying a word.

Taiguang Building is divided into two floors, with scattered seats on the first floor and empty halls in the hall, and elegant seats on the second floor and three sides around the stage.An Liang had already come up first, and when he saw Su Zhen and Xia Chu, he waved at them and led him to the seat that Min Fengqiang bought.

The gongs and drums were already ringing in the theater building, and in the rhythm of the gust of wind, actors with tricks came up from the backstage, doing somersaults on the stage or doing some tricks in twos and threes, which was regarded as a warm-up.

Xia Chu was agitated by the fast-paced gongs and drums, temporarily forgot the embarrassment just now, and turned to ask Su Zhen: "Does Mr. Huang usually like to listen to opera?"

"It's okay. I usually invite church parties, but it's the first time I've come to the theater to listen to an opera."

"That's right." Xia Chu nodded, thinking that it really wasn't a consumer class.

An Liang asked the waiter in the theater to serve tea, Su Zhen turned his head and asked him, "What play is it today?"

"Today is a play between Lao Sheng and Hua Dan, playing dragons and phoenixes. Yue Xiaohong plays Hua Dan, usually Yue Xiaohong sings Zheng Dan Tsing Yi more often, Hua Dan plays less, so there are more people outside today." An Liang replied.

Su Zhen hummed, and went over the words Youlong Xifeng in his heart, then suddenly turned his head and said to An Liang: "Youlong Xifeng?"

An Liang was taken aback, then laughed a little awkwardly, "I just caught up with this today..."

"Playing with the dragon and the phoenix?" Xia Chu said, "Is it about the love story of the emperor leaving the palace in micro-clothes and a folk girl?"

Su Zhen nodded guiltily, "Have you heard?"

"No, but that's what it sounds like when you hear the name." Xia Chu picked up the tea and took a sip, put it down gently, and sighed, "What a tragedy."

"Young Master Xia, this outing is not a tragedy." An Liang explained from the side.

Xia Chu smiled casually, "Of course the drama is not sad, but this story is."

"The folk woman doesn't know how many generations of good luck, she won the favor of the emperor, how can she be sad?" An Liang said in disapproval.

"Why not sad? We also have a story about playing with dragons and phoenixes. It is said that an emperor fell in love with a girl named Li Feng when he came out of the palace, and took her away from his hometown. After a few days of happiness, he left her behind. Well, then Li Feng was pregnant again in a foreign land, and no one cared about her, and she died in depression after giving birth. Well, the play naturally shows the adventure between the emperor and Li Feng, who knows what kind of situation the real Li Feng is outside of the play. "

"That must be a foolish emperor." An Liang said angrily, "Not all emperors are like this."

"It is indeed a faint emperor, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with the faint or not. Let alone that the emperor did not abandon Li Feng, so what if Li Feng entered the palace with him? The emperor has so many entanglements, he will never love alone She is alone. She has no family background, and she will be bullied to death in the palace."

Xia Chu grabbed a snack and asked Su Zhen casually, "Young Master Huang, do you think so?"
