Chapter 7
The county magistrate winked, and the boy from the restaurant came running over.

"See my lord, what orders does your lord have."

"Go, the leader of the Red Martial Arts Troupe is calling."

"That's great." The servant backed away flatteringly, the county magistrate talked to him, and he could brag with his wife again when he returned.

As soon as the Hongwu Opera Troupe came off the stage, the troupe leader Zhou Man looked excited. Judging from the audience's response, the reward this time should not be less than ten taels of silver.

"Squad leader and class leader, the county magistrate is here to invite you."

"The magistrate?"

"That's right, at VIP seat No. [-] on the second floor, the county magistrate is also there."

"Leader, go quickly." "Go quickly, you can't keep the gentlemen waiting."

The lead actor, Zhou Man, quickly walked out of the backstage, laughing all the way. Even the gentlemen liked this show. It seemed like it was a hit. It shouldn't be a problem to support this big team for ten years.

Zhou Man didn't even take off his make-up, and was brought in front of the county magistrate.

Just as he walked to the VIP seat, Bai Daqian was the first to speak.

"Which great scholar sold you the script?"

"Great Confucianism?" Zhou Man was puzzled, obviously the one who came to sell the script was just a young man, he didn't look very old.

"That's right, this script can't be written by someone who is not knowledgeable." The county magistrate said humanely.

"I don't know, this is a young man who came here with a script to sell, not an elderly gentleman." Zhou Man answered honestly.

"It is estimated that this great scholar doesn't bother with such a false name, that's enough, let's step back." The county magistrate rarely spoke.

Zhou Man was about to leave.

Bai Daqian waved, took out a 20-tael silver note from his arms and handed it over. "The county magistrate and the county magistrate rewarded you, go down."

Zhou Man felt that it was a little unreal, and after taking the bank note, he withdrew respectfully.

The county magistrate squatted on the teacup with a blank expression on his face, and then gave Bai Daqian an appreciative glance.

"Brother Bai, this is not good. It was obviously you who rewarded me, but we took the reputation."

"Master County Magistrate, you are being polite when you say this, it's only 20 taels of silver, nothing, just eat the vegetables." Bai Daqian continued.

……

Zhou Man trotted back to the backstage, grinning all the way, 20 taels of silver.

After returning to the troupe, a group of actors didn't take off their makeup, they all squatted on the ground and counted the copper coins, and there were several pieces of silver beside them.

After a while, Manfenglou sent a share of today's turnover.

After the calculation, I made a total of 54 taels of silver.

It is more than ten times higher than usual.

It's hot, this script is completely popular, if it's played for a few more years, you can retire for the elderly.

I’m really grateful to the young man who came to sell the script. By the way, he said before leaving that he still had scripts to publish? ? ?
Zhou Man looked excited.

In order to "ferment" the heat of the beauty case, Manfenglou regularly holds one every five days.

In less than three days, word spread throughout Lin'an Mansion that a super beautiful opera was performed in the Manyue Tower, called the case of guillotine beauty.

Some scholars said while drinking with their classmates.

"If you want to say who is the most fair official, Bao Zheng is the only one."

When Su Huan was shopping for ingredients on the street, a few aunts next to him were discussing the beauty case. "I heard that the price of seats in Manfeng Tower has increased. One tael of silver is only enough to buy one seat, and there is no price in the market."

"Really, my uncle bought two chairs for one tael of silver from a pork tycoon and sold them to two scholars for two taels of silver."

"Tsk tsk tsk! These people are too rich, don't they want to watch a show?"

Su Huan was stunned when he heard it, what the hell, a chair is only a tael of silver, not a table.

The boss of Manfenglou is a ghost, he sells money according to the seat, and even earns money when he goes in to eat. This is killing the gentry like pigs.

How much money does this have to make, oh my god.

Su Huanneng could have expected that the case of guillotine beauty would become popular, but he did not expect it to become so popular.

Touching the half taels of silver in his hand, Su Huan felt so poor.

……

night.

"Have I ever heard of the guillotine case?" Bai Yuanyuan was sitting at the dining table while Su Huan was setting the dishes.

"I heard it when I went to the street today."

"My father said that the person who wrote the beauty case must be a great Confucian. Even the county magistrate praised him and wanted to see it. It made me want to take a look at the beauty case."

"Ah?" Su Huan paused, almost dropping the plate.

Confucianism? ?I? ?Have I become a Confucian? ?Su Huan was stunned.

"Cough cough, eat, today we roast eggplant and pickled pork with pickled vegetables."

"Brother Su, take us out of the house tomorrow. I want to visit Manfenglou. I heard that Manfenglou will be performing the second beauty case tomorrow."

"what?"

"Let's go!"

Su Huan laughed dryly. "Those who can't squeeze in, I heard that a seat costs one tael of silver."

"Wait."

Su Huan saw Bai Yuanyuan lowering her head and touching her body, and then she took out a crumpled 20 taels silver note.

"Wow, son, I don't even know when you hid it." Xiaoyi screamed from the side.

"Hmph!" Bai Yuanyuan threw the banknotes on the table like a rich man. "I can buy a table."

"My lord, what if the mistress comes over tomorrow?" Xiaoyi asked.

"Then say I'm sleeping, don't disturb me."

Xiaoyi said weakly: "Young master has been sleeping for many days in a row, the mistress should be suspicious."

"I don't care, I just want to see the beauty case."

"Then... if the master knows."

"It won't be discovered." Bai Yuanyuan nodded affirmatively.

Su Huan raised his forehead. If he was discovered, he had no doubt that Bai Daqian would chop him with a 40-meter machete.

It has been more than a week now, and Su Huan can basically confirm that the handsome girl in front of him is Bai Yuanyuan, the eldest lady of the Bai family, and the younger brother of the Bai family is still staying in the Kyoto Academy and has not returned home at all.

Bai Yuanyuan's men's clothes are so good-looking, but her women's clothes... are a bit flat.

Su Huan suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Yuanyuan asked.

"No, I didn't laugh at your airport."

"what are you saying?"

Su Huan laughed directly.

the next afternoon...

Su Huan has just hand-copied The Legend of White Snake, as well as the classic soundtrack of The Legend of White Snake.

Su Huan turned his head and saw Bai Yuanyuan walking in from the yard with a small coat. "Can't see me can't see me!"

Bai Yuanyuan pointed her fingers in front of her, muttering.

"I saw you."

"No, you didn't see, Shunzi, cover his eyes."

"Oh!" Xiaoyi didn't like the name very much.

"Okay, I can't see it anymore."

"Hahaha, Brother Su, what are you doing?"

"No, I'm practicing calligraphy." Su Huan quickly snatched the manuscript from Bai Yuanyuan. "Don't look."

"White snake, what white snake?" Bai Yuanyuan was curious about the baby again.

"It's nothing, let's go, didn't you say you were going to Manfeng Tower?" Su Huan stood up quickly, and pushed the two of them out of the room.

After closing the door, he led the two of them out of the White House.

Today's Fugui Street is particularly lively. Even scholars from Qiantang County next door come here specially.
