Chapter 97
In the Liu Family Inn, in the main hall of the theater, the best table was reserved by the consort.
The consort Chen Peng was in his thirties, with a handsome appearance and sparkling eyes. From the outside, he looked like a handsome young man, but who knew that inside that handsome body was a real devil.
Yunji's eyes turned from the stage to Chen Peng.
He looked at the consort with great interest.
Different from how he usually looked at people, Yunji's eyes had no emotion at all, and were deserted, just like when looking at monsters.
As if aware of the gaze, Chen Peng turned around and looked.
Just eye-to-eye with Yunji.
Both parties smiled and nodded at the same time, both looking gentle and elegant.
On the stage, a scene in which an infatuated girl scolds an unfaithful lover was performed at an inappropriate time. The actor dressed as the infatuated girl burst into tears and complained, and the tune was melodious and melodious, which made people feel sad.
Chen Peng was a little unhappy, and his servant immediately interrupted: "I heard that the opera troupe in Liu's Inn is famous in the imperial city. If they are all this kind of people, don't come out and embarrass yourself. Let your pillars come out. We, the Prince Consort, don't have time.
Listen to you ghosts howling here."
As soon as they heard the word "husband-in-law", the people on the stage didn't dare to sing, and they didn't dare to get off immediately. There were so many guests, and if they left before the song was finished, wouldn't the place be ruined?
Someone in the audience was getting excited when the play suddenly stopped. Naturally, they were unhappy, so someone whispered: "You have to listen to the play from the beginning. You all paid to listen to the play. Why is our ticket price not money?"
The inn was not too big, so Chen Peng obviously heard it. He smiled and said nothing, but signaled his men with his eyes.
Immediately, a servant said: "Today's venue has been taken care of by our Prince Consort's House. We will repay you all the money you have spent. Whatever part the Prince Consort wants to hear, just listen to it. If you don't like to hear it, you can do it now."
Just go and I'll give you double the ticket price."
Of course I made a profit by double the ticket price, but no one really dared to ask for it, wouldn't that be a clear offense to the prince-in-law?
When the prince consort spoke, the stage leader immediately replaced the actors on the stage. When the gong sounded, the stage pillars appeared.
The little actress in the troupe is indeed charming. At the age of twenty-eight, she has a handsome appearance, a clear and melodious voice, and has a noble demeanor in her gestures. She will definitely become a famous actor in the imperial city in her spare time.
Ever since Xiao Hua Dan came on stage, the Prince Consort's eyes have never left her body, and the greed in her eyes is undisguised.
After the song was sung, the whole house was filled with cheers.
Before leaving the stage, Xiao Hua Dan was stopped by her consort.
Chen Peng stood up and praised: "What a voice! It seems that there is another famous actor in the imperial city. Starting today, your troupe will go on stage. I will pay you three thousand taels and cover you for ten days."
The servants of the Prince Consort's Mansion followed and shouted: "What are you doing standing around? Hurry up and pack your things and come with us. We will sing for the Prince Consort for ten days. From now on, you will have a living brand, and your worth will not double."
Three thousand taels for ten days, three hundred taels for one day, such a price is definitely not too low, especially singing for the royal family and relatives can make the troupe famous, which can indeed double the value.
But there is one thing.
The place where the banquet was reserved was not the Prince Consort's Mansion, but the Prince Consort's other courtyard outside the city.
The reputation of the consort was well known in the imperial city. The second thing that ruined his innocence when a young and beautiful woman fell into his hands was that he would always use the head of his favorite concubine to show his loyalty to the princess.
The class teacher's face turned bitter, and Xiao Hua Dan was panicked. She wanted to refuse but didn't dare.
Whoever dares to disobey the Prince Consort's orders can make a troupe walk around in Jiyun Imperial City with a twitch of their little finger.
Just when the theater troupe was in a dilemma, a voice came from the window seat.
"I will also pay three thousand taels to cover you for three days."
There was an uproar in the hall.
Everyone looked around and found that the person speaking was a young man with handsome features.
This person’s offer was even more aggressive, only guaranteeing it for three days, which is equivalent to one thousand taels a day!
Those who can easily get so much money are either wealthy families or big businessmen, and the most shocking thing is not the high price, but the courage to compete with the prince-in-law.
Chen Peng was a little surprised. He turned to look at Yun Ji and said, "Your Excellency spends a lot of money. I don't know where you are. There seems to be no one as famous as you in the imperial city."
Yunji didn't get up. He sat quietly on the chair and announced his home address: "A small person is not worth mentioning. Of course, he is not as famous as the prince-in-law. I am Boss Yun of the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce."
Talking about a little person but calling himself Boss Yun, this is not a small tone.
Chen Peng frowned slightly.
He was selling Ecstasy cigarettes privately and had contacts with various merchants. He also had transactions with people from the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't expect that Tianmang Chamber of Commerce would have such a boss Yun.
Chen Peng was very cunning. Since he couldn't see clearly the truth of the other party, he would rather endure this tone and said with a smile: "A gentleman will not take away someone's beauty. Since Boss Yun likes to listen to dramas so much, I will leave it to you."
Cold-blooded devils are not scary, only cold-blooded devils who are flexible and flexible are scary.
The fact that the Prince Consort was able to flourish in the imperial city was not unrelated to his methods.
"Thank you then." Yunji returned a sincere smile and said, "If the prince-in-law is free, you might as well come and listen to the play on the third day. I guarantee it will be a good play you have never heard in your life."
"Okay." Chen Peng's smile gradually turned cold, he took a deep look at Yun Ji, and left the inn with his men.
Walking on the street, the prince-in-law's face was as gloomy as water, and the servants beside him expressed their grievances for his master.
"Master, let's forget it like this? That guy has made it clear that he doesn't take our Prince Consort's residence seriously!"
"That's right, a young boy with a few bad money actually dares to be arrogant with the prince-in-law. I think he is looking for death!"
Chen Peng never spoke.
It's not that he is really afraid of Yunji, but he is worried about the identity of Tianmang Chamber of Commerce.
Chen Peng knows a secret that no one knows.
Tianmang Chamber of Commerce has an extraordinary relationship with the Imperial Master.
It was precisely because of the thought of the imperial master that Chen Peng gave in to Yun Ji once in the inn.
"Let me go and listen to a play on the third day...what kind of play?" Chen Peng muttered to himself, still unable to figure out the meaning of Yunji's words.
In fact, not only Chen Peng couldn't understand it, but the theater troupe was also baffled.
Yunji spent three thousand taels of silver to hire the entire troupe and brought them to Prince Ji's Mansion.
Anyway, the palace is big enough and has enough rooms, not to mention one theater troupe, ten theater troupes can live there without any problem.
When I moved into Prince Ji's Mansion in a daze, the leader of the opera troupe thought he was going to start singing opera, but instead of listening to the opera, he wanted to teach opera.
"As long as you sing this new play well, the best trumpeter in the imperial city will come, and I will guarantee that you will become an instant success."
Yunji paced in front of the troupe and said: "Listen up, the name of the new play is The Demon Shepherd. It is divided into three scenes. One is to kill the black pig king, the second is to kill the drought-stricken girl, and the third is to kill the thin lover..."
While Yunji was teaching opera to the opera troupe in Prince Ji's Mansion, in an inconspicuous inn far to the west of the city, a group of businessmen finally settled down. The yard was filled with sheep, and there were two to three hundred of them.
The two people leading the team were Feng Hai and Han Song from the Tianmang Chamber of Commerce.
"But let's face it, this journey has not been easy." Feng Hai sighed as he was exhausted.
"At least we won't miss the time set by the president. Once the big thing is completed, our Tianmang Chamber of Commerce will definitely become the number one chamber of commerce in the world!" Han Song said excitedly.
"Yes, by then the entire Jiyun will be our territory!" Feng Hai lost a lot of weight and became a lot stronger. This long trip made him much stronger.
