Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker
Chapter 11 The First Pot of Gold
After the owner of the lotus shed and Xiao Tong agreed on the date of the re-concert, they started to set up ticket sales points at the entrances of the tiles the next day, and sent handymen to stand near the brothel with the tickets to advertise and sell them to the dignitaries who came in and out.
With Xiao Tong's early publicity preheating, Si Qinghu's re-concert on the second anniversary of becoming famous became more and more popular as the date approached.
The 800 tickets of different prices in the Lotus Pavilion sold more than [-] tickets two days before the performance.When Xiao Tong heard the news, he was so happy that he tossed and turned his pillow at night.
I believe it will not be a problem to sell out the remaining tickets on the opening day.
Under the intensive preparations and expectations of everyone, the duet performance of "Xian Suo Xi Xiang" came as scheduled.
The date was set to be the same day that Si Qinghu sang two years ago, which happened to be the day of rest and bathing.
The sky was a vivid blue that day, clear and cloudless.In the evening, the spring breeze is blowing, bringing warmth and washing away the coldness of the winter.
The sky darkened, and the lights of Dongjiaolou Street began to come on.Whether it is ordinary people in brocade clothes or coarse linen clothes, they will play together in twos and threes.
"Si Qinghu is celebrating the second year of his fame, re-singing Tanci in the Western Chamber, and it will be in the Lotus Pavilion tonight!"
"The last three tickets, the last three!"
A young man in sackcloth stood by the side of the street, waving a few ticket papers in his hand and shouting loudly.Apparently, he was a handyman selling tickets in the lotus shed.
Soon, several young men in brocade clothes surrounded him and bought all the tickets in his hand.
The performance was set at Xu time, but before the time came, the lotus shed was already full of people. Those who entered the venue with tickets found their seats and sat down, chatting and laughing happily while waiting for Si Qinghu to appear.
There are [-] spectator seats, and the ticket price ranges from ten taels of silver to half a penny. The expensive ticket sits in the upper seat at the front, and the half penny can buy a seat on the top of the mountain.It can be said that the rich can see the rich, and the poor can also see the poor.
The seats of the audience are somewhat different from those in modern theaters. The seats in modern theaters are densely packed next to each other and arranged in steps.In Goulan, the high-priced private seats are like attending a banquet to enjoy music. Several people sit around a table filled with delicious food and wine, drinking and eating while listening to music.
Of course, the food and drinks are priced separately, which is another major source of income for Goulan.
The ones with a ticket price below two taels of silver are the densely packed wooden chairs arranged in steps.
The playhouse of nearly [-] square meters is decorated with lights and festoons, and is magnificently arranged.
The handymen are setting the stage on the stage, and Xiao Tong is directing them beside them.
When the arrangement was almost done, she glanced at the auditorium, which was almost all men, with only a few women in neutral attire.She couldn't help but murmur in her heart, although women in this dynasty seldom engage in politics, but many of them are engaged in business. She would not believe that they have no economic strength, but why don't they come to Goulang to spend?
While thinking about how to mobilize the consumption power of women, she walked out of the theater.Find a place to stand in the corner of the front row.
A brightly colored curtain with tassels was drawn, covering the entire stage.
This meant that the show was about to start, and the audience all fell silent.
The music of pipa sounded from behind the scenes, especially loud in this quiet venue.The sound is like marbles falling on a jade plate, crisp and mellow; it is also like spring water pouring down from a high mountain, remote and quiet.
Accompanied by the sound of the piano, there came the clear and melodious singing of Siqing Lake, like an orchid in an empty valley.
"Under the moon and the west chamber, the windward door is half open. The shadows of the flowers blowing against the wall are moving, it is suspected that... the jade man is coming!"
The curtain was slowly lifted up with the singing, and the white figure sitting quietly on the chair holding the pipa gradually appeared in the audience's field of vision like a banished fairy descending.
All of a sudden, there were enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
Xiao Tong looked at Si Qinghu's stunning appearance, with a smile involuntarily on the corners of his eyes and brows, with his hands folded on his chest, looking like he was enjoying it.
The audience's cheers died down quickly, and Si Qinghu began to pluck the strings of the pipa and began to sing.The audience also listened carefully.
After a while, when we sang the speech of the male role, I saw the female geisha who was partnered with Si Qinghu holding a pipa, walked up to Si Qinghu and sat down next to Si Qinghu while singing. She tied her hair and wore a crown, and dressed like a man.
But she sings all the male characters' lines.And Si Qinghu is in charge of the heroine's lines and the narration of the whole story.
In an inconspicuous place next to the stage, there is also a band to help with the soundtrack to set off the scene.
It was such a simple playing and singing performance. With Si Qinghu's astonishing appearance, outstanding expression performance and clear and moving singing voice, it won the appreciation of thousands of audience members.
Xiao Tong stared at Si Qing Lake momentarily, and as the story progressed, the people on the stage were really like the protagonist Cui Yingying, who became ashamed like the crimson moon in the sky, and cried like pear blossoms with rain.It made her and the other audience feel distressed and uncomfortable as if they were being grabbed by a hundred claws.
At the end of the story, the most lively moment of the whole show came, and that was krypton gold!
Si Qinghu sang that Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying had gone through hardships and reunited before the music and singing stopped.
A funny old man ran out on the stage, and he said to everyone with a smile and a loud voice: "Whether Yingying and Zhang Sheng will be reunited or parted is up to the old man under the moon. , then Cui and Zhang will be inseparable from now on!"
The audience soon became noisy, and the man sitting on the most noble tiger-head couch in the lotus shed first took out a bag of silver, threw it on the plate in the hands of the handyman, and said boldly: "I, Hu Laosan, smashed 50 yuan to sacrifice to the old moon. !"
Immediately, the ordinary people behind who bought cheap tickets all exclaimed.
Then, someone dropped 55 taels and 60 taels.Hu Laosan refused to accept it, and angrily smashed down another bag of silver, "I will sacrifice 100 taels!"
Xiao Tong looked at this honest and naive man in his 40s, and was amused.She heard that this Hu Laosan was a tea merchant, and he came from Luoyang specially for Si Qinghu, and he also snatched the only ticket of ten taels of silver, and sat on the most prestigious tiger head couch.
Now he saw that others tipped more than him, so he was unconvinced and started to compare.
The spectators behind were rewarded with a few pennies and taels of silver. Broken silver and copper coins were flying all over the sky, hitting the copper plate in the hand of the handyman, crackling non-stop, exuding an air of extravagance.
After the part of throwing money ended, Si Qinghufang sang the ending.
This is just a part of Goulan's performance, and the audience never gets tired of it, rewarding more if they have money, and no one will laugh at those who don't want to.The trickster will not tamper with the ending just because the reward is small.
Even if only a penny is sacrificed tonight, the old man under the moon will have to tie the knot to reunite Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng!
…………
The songbook of "Xian Suo Xi Xiang" has more than 5 words, and it took two full hours to sing last night, of which Si Qinghu spoke for two-thirds of the time.After she went back, she drank the throat moistening soup sent by Xiao Tong and slept for five hours.
It was almost noon when she woke up the next day, and Si Qinghu had just finished her breakfast when Xiao Tong sent someone to ask her to go to the accountant.
The door of the accounting room was closed, Si Qinghu knocked on the door, and Xiao Tong's voice came, "Come in, Qinghu!"
Si Qinghu pushed the door open and entered, only to see Xiao Tong sitting in front of the table and making plans, with a red cloth covering it like a hill piled up next to it.
Xiao Tong smiled and looked at Si Qinghu, "Guess how much we made last night?"
Si Qinghu looked calm: "How much?"
"Thump, thump, thump!" Xiao Tong lifted the red cloth on the table.
I saw scraps of silver and copper coins piled up like small hills, almost overflowing the table, and there were several small boxes next to them, which were full of neatly stacked silver bars and silver ingots.
Si Qinghu is not a person who loves money, but at this moment, there are slight waves in his calm heart, and a smile slightly curls up on the corner of his mouth, "It looks like a lot."
Xiao Tong said: "These money includes the ticket split and last night's reward. I just calculated that the tickets were sold for a total of 200 taels, and we will take 300%. Adding last night's 780 taels of reward, the total is 600 taels. Excluding There are 360 taels left for the band and partners. We agreed that I will take [-]% and you [-]%. You can take the [-] taels here.”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Tong pointed to two boxes to Si Qinghu, which were full of silver ingots, and there were about a dozen pieces of silver, making up the last number.
Si Qinghu looked at Yinzi, feeling suddenly sore in his heart.Aunt Yu never told her how much money she made in Qingyufang before, let alone let her share the accounts with Xiao Tong like Xiao Tong did.She knew that Aunt Yu had cheated her out of it, but she didn't want to worry about it too much, and since she had the deed of prostitution in her hands, worrying about it would only lead to no good.
The money she made last night was as much as she made in three months at her peak two years ago.
"Thank you, Xiao Silang." Si Qinghu said to Xiao Tong, grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Tong waved his hand, and said cheerfully: "Don't be polite, you deserve it. By the way, this money is a lot and heavy. I'll help you take it to the Jiaoyin Shop to exchange for a deal!"
Looking at the two boxes of silver taels, she thought that Si Qinghu wouldn't spend much for a while, and she believed that she wouldn't keep too much at home, so she definitely wanted to exchange the silver taels for easy safekeeping. More than 300 taels, and it is estimated to be several tens of catties. How can she move it as a woman?If she meets thieves halfway, even if she has martial arts, she won't be able to get away to take care of silver even if she's just fighting!I am her manager, and I have an obligation to help her!
Si Qinghu wanted Ling'er to go, but seeing Xiao Tong taking the initiative, he smiled and nodded.
Xiao Tong ordered the shopkeeper of the dental shop to count his own silver and store it in the safe in the warehouse, and then went to Jiaoyin shop with Si Qinghu.
Si Qinghu kept the broken silver and an ingot of silver for his own use, and exchanged the rest for Jiaozi.
As she walked out of the Jiaoyin shop, she folded the Jiaozi and hid it in the money pouch at her waist.
Xiao Tong followed her, and felt that the little fairy's appearance smelled of money was cute, so he joked: "Yo, our Qinghu is now a little rich woman worth a few hundred taels."
Being teased by her like this, Si Qinghu was both shy and happy, and his smile was as bright as the spring sunshine.
"Next, I want to do something big, how about you invest a little?"
Hearing this, Si Qinghu's smile gradually froze, and he gritted his teeth.
It was agreed that she would get [-]% of the money, but now she wants to trick her into putting the money back, you profiteer!
With Xiao Tong's early publicity preheating, Si Qinghu's re-concert on the second anniversary of becoming famous became more and more popular as the date approached.
