Chapter 15

Before the front foot entered the gate, the back foot was stopped by a servant.It took a full five liang of silver to let them in. It seems that watching a theater is still a luxury for ordinary people.

I remember Xiaocui once told her that the annual salary of ninth-rank officials in the Xuan Dynasty was no more than one hundred taels, and the average monthly salary was no more than eight taels.It is also a big expense to spend five taels to go to the theater.

Her father is now from the second rank, and his annual salary has also been reduced to 1300 taels of silver.The eldest brother only has 900 taels of silver from the third grade annual salary!Now Shangguan Yanran asks for 5000 taels of gold!

How many innocent teenagers can this 5000 taels of gold save!It's really killing people!
The Manjianghong Hall is clean and elegant, and there are only a few customers in the huge outer hall. Although there are few people, it is clean and tidy.

As soon as he sat down, a servant came over to pour tea and bring a plate of snacks along the way.

The outer hall is not as good as the front hall, and it is far from the stage.

I just asked the boy, if you want to go to the front hall, you only need to pay 10 taels of silver, there are private rooms upstairs, and the private rooms in the wing rooms cost 50 taels of silver.

It seems that regardless of that era, money is the prerequisite for determining treatment.

There is no play today, and there is a woman on stage.The woman is gentle and demure, with a pair of bare hands, plucking the strings lightly.

The sound of the piano is smooth and melodious. Drinking tea and listening to the music, my heart feels calm for a while, and I can enjoy it when I have nothing to do.

She didn't forget that she was out on errands today, and when the boy was pouring water, she stuffed a tael of silver and asked him to hire the man in charge.

After drinking half a cup of tea and listening to the qin, a beautiful woman came.

The woman is over forty years old but still has a charming charm, her walking posture is very beautiful, she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't come back to her senses until the light blue veil hit her face.

"This young master, my family is already so old, it depends on the little girl."

"My sister is so offended. It's because my sister is so beautiful that I was stunned for a while."

Lu Jing looked at the boy in front of him, he looked very young, no more than fifteen years old.Dressed like a servant, with a bright smile, and big black and white eyes, clean and penetrating, it is a good match for the eyes.

Just now she was looking at the ledger when she heard a message from the servant that there was a young man in the outer hall who wanted to sell operas.

Manjianglou's business is getting more and more sluggish, and there are fewer drama scripts.What you get is either too old-fashioned or the script is too bad.

She still remembered that when Manjianghong was the most prosperous, there were nearly a thousand people in the courtyard, and the people in the outer hall almost squeezed their heads forward, listening to music and watching operas, singing and dancing, and the prosperity seemed so lively!
Now the theater is a little deserted, thinking that since there are people selling operas, I come to see them if I have nothing to do.

Just seeing this, what good can such a young boy write?
"You can just call me Sister Lu, what do you call me, young master? I heard that young master wants to sell opera books?"

"Sister Lu, please call me Ping An! This playbook, you can read it first, and if you want to, it's not too late to talk about it in detail."

"Little brother Ping'an, what you said is interesting."

Lu Jing took the playbook and opened the script. The script is beautiful, as if it was written by a woman.Could it be that I did it?When she looked down, the more she looked, the more frightened she became!Quickly put away that indifferent attitude, and read slowly and carefully. I was reading it with relish, and my heart broke instantly!Why is the text gone?Is there a follow-up to this?
Lin Anran who was on the side had already seen Lu Jing's emotions in his eyes!He hurriedly said, "Sister Lu, why don't we change places and have a good talk?"

"Brother Ping'an, don't blame me, sister, I will prepare the private room right now." Lu Jing's voice began to tremble in excitement!
