Li Guo Tower and Wang Wu were busy turning their heads, arranging more than 200 people to sit in rows in Qiankun Tower, and it was noisy. At this time, Lu Haikong, Xing Yunfeng, Ai Hai and others came. There were more than a dozen of them talking.
Head, each person sat at a table, glanced at everyone with a sullen expression like a yamen officer trying a case, and scolded a few people who jumped up and down to say hello. The scene immediately changed. The entire Qiankun Building was quiet and no longer looked like a teahouse.
Noisy.
Yao Cuo said loudly: "Wang Wu, I will first arrange some people to be the instructors of these bastards and train them according to the military system. You must also do a good job. This is the first celebration of the militia, and no one has
If you encounter this kind of thing, I won't tell you if you are a little messy. When we get together next time, I want to see a disciplined and dignified militia. If you are too lax, I will take action on you first."
Wang Wu was already sweating profusely and did not dare to wipe the sweat flowing down his face. He stood still and said, "It's sir."
Li Guolou calmed down and began to feel better. These martial artists were pretty good. He had been beaten by his master when he practiced kung fu in the past. He knew some rules and could at least straighten his back when sitting on a chair.
Wang Wu's senior brother was also very helpful and kept maintaining order. Among those who sneaked in to eat the Overlord meal, five people were identified. Originally, Wang Wu's senior brother Wu Jinshui wanted to drive these five people away, but they were
Yao Cuo stopped him and arranged the five people at a table in a corner so that they could have a meal on the table.
Li Guolou was a little dissatisfied and asked: "Captain Yao, why don't you let them get lost?"
Yao Cuo sighed and said: "Deputy Captain Li, those people are all Manchus. If there is a master above, wouldn't I not give them the master's face?" He then said: "Wang Wu, wait until the banquet is over and give it to those five."
Everyone is happy with thirty Wen, so they won't cause trouble. Do you understand this is a rule?"
Li Guolou muttered: "Why are the Bazi tribesmen like this?"
Yao Cuo said in a low voice: "You think I really took the 70 people's quota, but in fact at least half of them are disciples of the Eight Banners who don't come to the yamen as errands. They receive a monthly salary, and they only receive pay and no work here."
There are thirty-seven people. In the future, as the militia develops, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to block people. In the capital, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the most shameless."
Wang Wu nodded and said: "Deputy Li, it's like this. Fortunately, that Bazi is quite capable and has not degenerated to the point of eating his ancestors. Otherwise, I would have to support his entire family."
Li Guolou glanced at Ai Hai, who was sitting in the distance. The children of the Eight Banners had become too much to bear. Some were still enterprising and could support themselves. Some were just like grasshoppers, relying on others to support them. One was full of glory.
Our nation has been ridiculed and looked down upon, and the Eight Banners have no glory to speak of.
The candies and fruits placed on more than 20 tables disappeared in the blink of an eye. Li Guolou could only ask the boss to wait for a while before serving again. The Tan family troupe finally came to the rescue, and the whole Qiankun Tower burst into cheers when they arrived.
In the open space in the middle of the Qiankun Building, several heads of the Tan family began to sing, fight, gongs and drums, Jinghu, Jingerhu, Yueqin, Sanxian, gongs, cymbals, Tanggu, Zhongruan, Daruan, and suona sounded, making the Qiankun Building have a sound.
An atmosphere of fun.
Three Eight Immortals tables were stacked up in the middle of the field. The master martial artist Tan Yuelou climbed up, showed off his posture and sang the opera. He turned over with a kite and jumped down from the height. He took one step forward and stood firm. This move made everyone clap their hands and applaud.
, cheer loudly.
Yao Cuo sighed: "Vice Captain Li, such a good troupe can't hold on any longer. The world is not good."
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "I don't think there's anything good about it. The singing is so ugly. It's just good to do a few somersaults. There are so many people here who can do somersaults."
Yao Cuo angrily scolded: "You fake foreign devil, what do you know? This is a theater troupe that only exists in the capital. How can you Anhui country people know how to appreciate it? You can only watch shadow puppet shows."
Li Guolou waved his hand and said, "Okay! I won't argue with you. If the Tan family is so good, why isn't it popular?"
Yao Cuo pointed to the singing Wu Sheng and said: "Because all the actors in Tan's class are boys, mostly old students. Nowadays people like to watch back-and-forth, with a coquettish feminine accent. Only the old men like to watch it."
Why have you been in the capital for more than a year? Why don't you go to Tianqiao to watch the theater?"
In this era, all the things that appear in public are done by men. The opera singers are all men, and the roles of women in operas are also played by men. Of course, women can be singers, but this is of a sexual nature.
The performance is not elegant and is not allowed to be performed in public places. The opera singers sing very little and are only for high-ranking officials to show off their nobility. Only wealthy people can organize a small singing and dancing troupe. Only those in the circle of high-ranking officials and dignitaries can watch.
Li Guolou already knew why the Tan Family Troupe was not popular, and Yao Cuo had already hinted to him, that is to say, the Tan Family Troupe was a performer who did not sell his body, which was very different from other troupes. Don't underestimate the troupes, those slightly larger troupes, the
The protagonist's outfit is worth hundreds of taels of silver. The costumes and props include real gold, silver and pearls and agate. There are dedicated people in the troupe to look after the outfit for fear of being stolen. Those popular actresses are all the little husbands of rich people.
, who plays the role of Huadan, was raised as a girl, and will like men when she grows up. The troupes who can open the stage in the capital are all wealthy owners. Like the troupe of the Tan family troupe, which relies on real kung fu to dominate the scene,
We have reached the end of the road and are only one step away from disbandment.
Li Guolou glanced at Yao Cuo and said: "Since Captain Yao loves talents so much, he will take more care of the Tan family team in the future. I don't believe that Captain Yao will order the Tan family team in the future, and he is also the one who went to Huamanlou to listen to the show.
As for whether I like to listen to the little Xianggong singing, I don't know."
Yao Cuo took advantage of the noise around him and shouted angrily: "Fuck you bastard, you only like my little husband."
Although the venue was reserved, as soon as the martial artist finished his play, someone came to ask for a reward with a copper plate. Of course, Yao Cuo was the first to receive the reward. This was also the rule. Yao Cuo threw a silver ingot to Zu Tan without hesitation.
The face of the family class. There were cheers and jingles all around. Rich people threw pieces of silver, ordinary white coins, and copper coins one by one.
Yao Cuo was dissatisfied with Li Guolou's actions and said angrily: "Vice Captain Li, I see that you are usually very generous. Why were you so stingy just now and didn't you give me face?"
Li Guolou smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Yao, you want a heavy reward even if you don't like it?"
Yao Cuo said: "Of course! What day it is, you can't be stingy. Later I will ask the boss to come in person to ask for your reward."
Li Guolou knew that his behavior of throwing copper coins had caused public outrage, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed that he would reward the Tan family team heavily later.
Wu Defu's chief follower Wu Ta arrived. Seeing how hurried he was, Yao Cuo and Li Guolou knew that Lord Bao was coming soon. Several officers, along with Wang Wu and other militia organizers, immediately ran to the door.
Welcome the chief's arrival.
Of course, the opera also stopped and could not continue until the distinguished guests arrived. The opera at this time was like this. The opera would stop when the host left, and sometimes it would even start from where it left off after a few days. This is
The advantage of booking a venue is that you can go wherever you want to see. You can also order an excerpt from the play, which is a section from the play. You can listen to whichever section you like.
The troupe had very strict rules and exited silently, as if they had never appeared here. The Qiankun Tower became silent again. Everyone knew that a high official was coming, but they didn't know who it was? Everyone stood up and waited silently.
The official arrives.
Today, Bao Qiyi did not come in a sedan chair. He came to Qiankun Building in casual clothes to drink a glass of wedding wine celebrating the founding of the militia. Before the militia had achieved some results, Bao Qiyi did not want to show off, but his mood was already shown on his face.
, his broad face was full of smiles, and his three long beards were fluttering in the wind. The moment he stepped out of the carriage, he saw Li Guolou. This was their second meeting. He did not expect that this wealthy owner would actually arrive.
The Xingbu Yamen gave him a big gift, and he praised himself in his heart for his sharp eyesight and not letting the talents go to other Yamen. Fortunately, fortunately!
Bao Yiyi smiled and helped Yao Cuo, Li Guolou and others up one by one. No need to be polite, a happy feast, please!
The group of people entered the Qiankun Building in order of their official positions. Li Guolou wanted to keep a low profile and stand behind Lu Haikong according to the rules, but Wu Defu called him to the front seat, leaving the other nine masters behind.
This made Li Guolou feel uncomfortable. Didn't Wu Defu's actions make him offend so many masters? Li Guolou knew in his heart that this second brother liked to play tricks the most, so he could only follow Wu Defu in the future and come first.
A "getting carried away" move has forced him to choose one out of ten. Li Guolou knew that in the future he would have nine officers to wear small shoes for him in the yamen.
The militia is not a new thing. There was no extravagance on the day the capital was founded. As soon as the official entered the door of Qiankun Tower, firecrackers were set off. The four lions of the lion dance appeared shaking their heads. The four lions were played by eight people.
Wang Wu's senior brother. This kind of lion dance performance is a required course in Beihai Martial Arts School. He often performs at events in the capital to make some fun and earn some money.
After a drum beat, the lion dance performance ended. Bao walked in together, and more than 200 people in the dining room immediately knelt down to see Mr. Bao. The kind officer smiled and put his hands in empty hands, asked everyone to stand up, and said an encouraging word,
I climbed up to the second floor. Although it didn't take long, everyone was excited. Most of them had never spoken to a third-grade official in such close proximity. They suddenly felt bright and felt that there was a future in being a vigilante group.
When the food and drinks were served, the originally quiet Qiankun Tower began to be lively again. When the opera gong rang, the Tan Family Troupe began to sing opera again.
The seats on the second floor can overlook the lively scene downstairs and listen to the old man's opera. Bao Yiyi closed his eyes, shook his head and hummed for a while, singing exactly the same as the old man, which won the three tables of people cheering together.
Bao Yiyi nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, Master Wu, you have done a good job. Now that the country is fighting a war, we cannot waste money. This is good. The establishment of the militia is a happy event for the capital, and I should come to support it."
Work hard! Make the scene bigger, and when you get the credit, I will ask the court for credit on your behalf."
Wu Defu stood up, cupped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Bao. I will try my best to get the job done. Come! Everyone, let us unite sincerely and improve the security of the capital. Let's take credit for Mr. Bao. Let's have a drink!"
Everyone in the place stood up to toast and drank all the wine in the glass. Only Li Guolou drank boiled water, still drinking the energy of old wine, and loudly said that he wanted to do his job well.
The officials began to toast one by one, and once again Li Guolou saw how capable they were of eating, drinking and talking. The officials of the capital who stayed in the capital were as honest as water and did not have much oil and water at ordinary times. When they came out to have a big meal, the nine masters
They all ate with open bellies, pouring bamboo leaves and greens into their stomachs like boiled water. They rejoiced together upstairs and downstairs, and the scene was as intoxicating as fine wine.
The big-tongued Bao walked together to the table where Li Guolou was sitting, grabbed Li Guolou's hand, and said: "Little Lizi, I remember you, let's have a drink."
Liu Chengle (who had the same official rank as Yao Cuo) immediately changed Li Guolou's wine into real liquor. Then nine masters took turns to attack Li Guolou. Li Guolou was in a trance and collapsed on the ground. Sir
They clapped their hands and laughed together, no one cared about him, and continued drinking to celebrate the founding of the militia in the capital.
