Chapter 138 Listening to Opera in Liyuan(1/3)
Chapter 138 Listening to Opera in the Liyuan, Yujing City of All Nations
The Beijing Liyuan, or the Liyuan on Baiyi Street, is not far from Donglaiju. It only takes three minutes to walk after getting off Donglaiju. A Jiangnan garden with white walls and black tiles appeared in front of Jiang Xuan.
Looking at their appearance, Jiang Xuan found that the pear orchard in the capital and the pear orchard at the foot of Yinshan Mountain seemed to be carved from the same mold, except that they were a little bigger.
Just as he was about to step into the garden, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Xuan:
"Taoist Priest, the Liyuan Garden is closed during the day. If you want to listen to music, you can enter the garden at the beginning of the fifth quarter (6 p.m.)."
Looking at the two guards in front of him who bowed and spoke to him, Jiang Xuan waved the dust in his hand and said, "I am not here to listen to music, but to find friends."
The two guards looked at each other after hearing this, and then the slightly stronger guard on the left spoke:
"I wonder who you are looking for in a long time?"
"Chen Qingyi."
The guard nodded and continued to ask, "Don't you know your name?"
"Shenxiao Sect, Jiang Daoxuan."
As Jiang Xuan finished speaking, the guard bent down and saluted Jiang Xuan again:
"Please wait a moment, Taoist Priest. We have sent someone to notify Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen is willing to see you, we will let you go immediately."
Jiang Xuan nodded to express his understanding.
Others are just gatekeepers, and blocking him is fulfilling his duty, so he will naturally not feel angry.
Not long after, the guard who received the reply suddenly stepped aside, then stretched out his hand towards Jiang Xuan and guided him towards the door:
"Taoist Priest, Chen and everyone are already here. Please enter the garden first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rapid tapping sound reached Jiang Xuan's ears, followed by a slightly surprised cheer:
"Senior Brother Jiang, it's really you."
"It's only December 19th, and you've arrived in the capital so soon."
Following the sound, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be speechless when he saw the head of Gua Chen Qingyi sticking out from the wall of the courtyard.
The door is open right there, and this little girl is really talented when she insists on peeling off the wall.
Walking into the opera garden, Jiang Xuan laughed and said when he saw Chen Qingyi who had just come down from the wall.
"The door is right there, why do you have to go to the wall?"
"My master doesn't allow it."
"Two days ago, I sneaked out and was caught by my master. She said that if I dared to walk in front of the gate again, she would break my feet."
The little girl came to Jiang Xuan with her hands behind her back, narrowed her eyes and said:
"If I scratch the wall, it doesn't count as walking to the gate. She has no reason to hit me, right?"
Glancing at Chen Qingyi, who was thinking clearly, Jiang Xuangang wanted to start teasing her, but she opened her mouth again and spoke:
"Senior brother, you came to see me this time. Did you bring me a gift?"
As she spoke, she lowered her head again, played with her fingers a little embarrassedly and said:
"Every time Sister Xu, Sister Yang, and Sister Leng and their friends come to Liyuan, they bring them many gifts."
Seeing Chen Qingyi shrinking his neck like a quail as he spoke, Jiang Xuan suddenly laughed.
what is this?
Want to be strong all your life, but unexpectedly like the shy Chen Qingyi?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a sense of ridicule, so he simply took out a bunch of candy figures from the jade gourd and handed them out.
This was what he was going to take back to his younger sister Jiang Yao:
"Hey, just a bunch of candy figures, do you want them?"
"want."
Taking the candy man from Jiang Xuan's hand, Chen Qingyi squinted her eyes and started licking it:
"Uncle Li's candies are still delicious. I was caught by my master two days ago when I sneaked out to buy candies."
Looking at Chen Qingyi, who was shaking his head and exuding joy, looking a little silly, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but sigh,
I don’t know if this little girl can maintain her innocence after entering the big dyeing vat of Liyuan.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's head like a little fox. Jiang Xuan then released the snow essence from the demon refining pot:
"Hey, this is my gift to you. As for the candy man, I originally brought it back to my sister to eat."
Chen Qingyi's eyes lit up when he saw a snow-white elf suddenly appeared in front of him. Chen Qingyi was eating a candy man:
"Senior Brother Jiang, is this Snow Spirit? Did you really give it to me as a gift?"
Perhaps her eyes were too fiery, which made Xiaoxuejing tap her hooves a few times uneasily.
Squatting down and rubbing Xiaoxue Jing, who was a little afraid of strangers, Jiang Xuan nodded:
"Really for you."
"I met this snow spirit on the way to the capital. If you hadn't called me to listen to music, I wouldn't have met it."
"Of course, maybe it is also destined to you?"
When he first met the Snow Spirit, Jiang Xuan also thought about raising it himself.
But later he discovered that this little guy liked to shed his fur, and as soon as he shed his fur, it would start to snow in the Demon Refining Pot, which made him feel a little like a Muggle.
Although the snow will stop as long as he picks up its fallen fur from the ground, does he have to find a spiritual beast to pick up his fur in order to raise a snow spirit?
In addition, Xue Jing was not on the list of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, so he thought about it for a long time and finally decided to give it away.
And Chen Qingyi is his candidate to send Xuejing.
After all, the bamboo whip this little girl gave him helped him a lot.
Seeing Jiang Xuan say again that he would give her the little snow essence, Chen Qingyi immediately jumped up holding the snow essence:
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang."
After speaking, she looked around, then secretly took out a crystal clear orchid and handed it to Jiang Xuan:
"Hey, this is my gift to my senior brother."
"Last time when I was in Yinshan Liyuan, I found that you, senior brother, seem to like things that can restore your mental power, so I asked my master to pay attention to it."
"This is Xuelinglan. As long as you plant it, it will emit fragrance. Once you smell the fragrance, you can restore your mental strength."
"It's just that it likes to stay in a cold environment. Senior brother, you should be careful when planting it."
"Also, don't smell too much, otherwise you will get a headache."
Looking at the orchid in Chen Qingyi's hand, Jiang Xuan's heart moved slightly, and then he looked at Chen Qingyi.
Seeing that she was still smiling, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile:
"This orchid is indeed useful to me, senior brother. Then senior brother, I would like to thank my junior sister."
"Why should I be polite to my junior sister?"
Chen Qingyi patted his chest, then put the Xueling Lan into Jiang Xuan's hand, and then pulled Jiang Xuan and ran towards the Orchid Garden:
"Senior brother, let's go to Orchid Garden, and I will sing a song for you."
"But if I sing something wrong, you have to point it out to me. Otherwise, if I sing something wrong on the day I go on stage, my master will definitely put me in solitary confinement."
"But I don't understand opera."
"It's okay, you will know after listening to me, senior brother."
The music in the pear garden can be heard without any sound, but there is a lingering sound around the beams.
When Chen Qingyi reluctantly left the stage, the walls of Bai Yujing had already lit up with fluorescent lights again.
The opera theater will be set up on the stage at the beginning of the third quarter of the Xu hour (7:30 p.m.), and the garden will open at the beginning of the fifth quarter of the You hour (6 p.m.), so Chen Qingyi must leave the stage before the third quarter of the You hour.
Looking at Chen Qingyi who was reluctant to leave, Jiang Xuan straightened the headdress on her head:
"Singing well."
"But it's really time for you to rest. Your face has turned so white."
Hearing Jiang Xuan's praise, Chen Qingyi, who looked a little pale, immediately lit up his eyes:
"Really? Brother Jiang, please don't lie to me."
She really likes to sing.
"I won't lie, I sing really well."
Jiang Xuan did not lie.
For a whole afternoon, Chen Qingyi sang five operas for him: "The Drunken Concubine", "Farewell My Concubine", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Fairy Match", and "The Consort". Jiang Xuan also listened with great enthusiasm.
Vision.
