The "painting" challenge of the four arts was in full swing…
The challengers were Yang Yang and Wan 'er. Yang Yang randomly picked a question, and the topic was " Spring." Wan 'er and Yang Yang were painting on the stage. The judges were made up of 19 players. In a short while, two paintings full of spring appeared in front of everyone. One of the pictures was a gentle breeze blowing through willows, swallows flying, and people busy farming in the fields. The other painting had peach blossoms and weeping willows, mainly ducks playing in the water. The duck was very cute and vivid.
In the end, it was ten to nine. The challenger beat the ring master with the duck. Yang Yang became the first member of the art gallery. The staff took Yang Yang to the VIP room and asked him to sign two different pieces of paper. One of them was blank, and the other was written: Entrance ticket to Yixin Art Garden, painting. The date and serial number were also indicated. Two signatures, the staff explained,"Anti-counterfeit." Yang Yang understood that some people were smart enough to make such a voucher.
He also understood the word " painting " and the date written on the paper. Every month, he would pass the test once. After a year, he would become a distinguished member and receive good gifts. However, it was not easy to become a VIP member. The same game could only be used twice. In that case, one had to win at least six games throughout the year. Being able to become a member, he was already very satisfied. It was worth it to save seven taels of silver to watch the show. He had a premonition that the performance would definitely be wonderful and hoped that the good show would start soon.
They were numbered because Shangguan Die 'er had only set up 100 seats to achieve the best effect. They only received 100 spectators every day.
Yixin Art Garden was bustling with traffic every day, and young talents gathered here. The art garden slowly became a topic of discussion.
Prince Li's Mansion
Gao Xili did not find anyone, so he handed over his official seal and said he was ill at home. Now, he was the real Cold King. Prince Li's residence was very cold, as cold as an ice cellar. Even Bao 'er did not dare to run around in the courtyard. He stopped smiling when his sister was gone.
"Fifth Brother, I heard that the appearance of Pleasantfragrance Courtyard has changed. It's quite fun. This little brother will accompany you to take a look." Gao Ximeng saw his fifth brother's cold face, so cold that it made people retreat. He wanted to let him relax.
"No, there's no Die 'er there. Besides, how could Die' er be in that filthy place? Little Seven, don't go too. Spend more time with your wife and children.”Gao Xili said. He Siqi was Shangguan Die 'er's cousin, so he unconsciously showed her more love.
More than half a month had passed, and there was no news of that person. Some of the guards from Prince Li's and Prince Meng's residences were sent out. Now, everything around him felt dull. If he hadn't been waiting for her news, he could have become a monk like his second brother.
The Shangguan couple and Shangguan Yu guessed that Die 'er was related to the rumored rapist. She had picked a lot of flowers in their garden and received the painting she sent. They guessed that Yixin Art Garden might have some connection with Die' er, but they did not dare to confirm it personally. They were worried that if Prince Li knew, there might be a storm.
As the days passed, Gao Xijie was puzzled by some things. After Cao Kun, without any warning, another three ministers retired. In the past, he had hinted many times that these people always used the excuse of being old and strong, old and experienced, and old and experienced to occupy their positions. The court could not inject new vitality. What was the reason for them to give up their power? Gao Xijie asked his guards Ah Er and Ah San to investigate.
The next day, Ah Er reported the results of the investigation." In this half a month, they all went to Yixin Art Garden, which was formerly Yixin Courtyard, a brothel. In the past month, he had changed his appearance and started a clean and honest business. These people all wanted a woman named Yi Shuiling, but she was chased out by some big shot and resigned the next day.
"Let's go and take a look. Who is this important figure?”Gao Xijie's interest was piqued, and he came to the art garden accompanied by Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, and Ah Si.
Entering the main entrance of the art garden, Gao Xijie heard a familiar yet special song. Xiaoyue had sung it before.
From two days ago, Shangguan Die 'er had the two main characters take turns to pose in the stairwell between the second and third floors during the most lively hour, singing "Transforming into a Butterfly" a cappella to keep everyone's appetites in suspense.
"Manager, call Yi Shuiling over.”Four shouted.
Wu Yixin explained with a smile,"I'm really sorry, these masters. Shui Ling is about to start acting, so she doesn't have time to meet people."”
"If you don't want this place to be seized, bring her here immediately.”Ah Four said aggressively with a tough attitude.
"If you insist on seeing Shui Ling, you must see Master Bei first. One of you can go with me. Master Bei is very busy. If there are too many people, it will disturb her.”Wu Yixin knew that Guan Supeng couldn't change these people's minds, so she directly brought Shangguan Die 'er up.
Annoying! The " flies " kept appearing. They didn't know how precious Master Bei's time was. Wu Yixin was angry but didn't dare to say anything.
"Let's go. Lead the way." Gao Xijie signaled for the guard to stay while he followed Wu Yixin.
"Master Bei, someone is looking for Shui Ling." Wu Yixin knocked on the door and left. She wasn't worried about Master Bei. That jade pendant was powerful.
Shangguan Die 'er still covered her face with the fan. She opened the door and said,""Why do you have to find Shui Ling? Other girls are equally outstanding and intelligent.”
Gao Xijie said with certainty,"I'll look for Yi Shuiling."”
She took out the jade pendant and asked,"Do you recognize this?"”
"Yes, very familiar." Gao Xijie understood why those people fled.
"Still looking for Shui Ling?" Shangguan Die 'er knew that the power of the jade pendant had taken effect, but she was a little puzzled as to why he wasn't panicking.
"Not her, only! Search! Song! Small! Bay!" Gao Xijie laughed. This place was really super strange.
"Ah?" Master Bei was shocked. He took away his fan and recognized the Emperor.
"Emperor, good evening! We meet again." Shangguan Die 'er smiled and bowed.
"Alright, take a seat." Gao Xijie asked her to sit beside him.
"Why did the emperor come here?"
"The ministers in the court have resigned one after another. In the past, they couldn't even chase him away. It seems that I have to thank Master Bei properly.”
"They should have enjoyed the happiness of their family long ago and played with their grandchildren. They're already so old, but they still ran out to cause trouble.”
"What is Die 'er busy with?" Gao Lijie looked at the colorful juice in the jar and guessed that the things from the imperial garden were also in it.
"The emperor came at the right time. Come and watch the show tomorrow. It's rare to see you."
"You don't need money to watch the show?"
"How can that be? Everyone has worked so hard for their work. It was rare for the emperor to come out, so he went to play.”Shangguan Die 'er wanted to be the host and pulled Gao Xijie out of the room, using the fan as cover.
Ah Da and the others were stunned. These guards had never known the relationship between the Emperor and this Master Bei. Shangguan Die 'er signaled one of them to hand over the silver. Starting from guessing riddles, Gao Xijie guessed eight riddles in one go, but was stumped by " lying on ice and praying for carps ". He played the puzzle to guess the idioms. At the last moment, even Master Bei was nervous. In the end, he guessed six words but exceeded the time limit. She felt extremely regretful. The arrows were not bad. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, all of them hit the bullseye. She felt even more regretful than he did when she missed a dart. Gao Xijie was having a great time with seven shots. Shangguan Die 'er gave an example in' You say, I guess.'The Emperor guessed it, and the guard with extraordinary skills lowered his head in shame. It was not because they were stupid, but because they had never played word games before. The show had to be played by two people. The Emperor had no partner, so he could only give up.
Gao Xijie took the entrance ticket with the words "Gao Tian" and asked,"Why Gao Tian?"
"It's safe."
"What's lying on ice and praying for carps?"
"The answer is revealed. Who am I going to eat?"
" Presumptuous…" Ah Four had never seen anyone so rude.
Gao Xijie liked it when Shangguan Die 'er didn't value his status. He had supreme power, but he was incomparably lonely. He raised his hand slightly, and Ah Four didn't dare to make a sound.
Shangguan Die 'er asked Ah Da and the others to play a game to clear the level. The Emperor had an entrance ticket, so they had to get one to protect their master. They abandoned archery and darts and chose to shoot.
"Master Gao said that he wanted to thank me, so I want to thank you now, okay?”
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"Once the show starts, I'll be leaving for a period of time. Can you send two guards to help me guard here?”
"Why should I leave?"
"This movie was performed in Prince Li's mansion before, so he will come looking for you very soon.”
"He's been looking for you everywhere these days. Can you bear to not see him?”
"I can't see him. My appearance might cause some trouble. It's better to avoid trouble. I only hope that everyone is safe.”
"Alright, then send Ah Da and Ah Er to guard it.”
"Overkill. Experts protect Master Gao. Ordinary guards would be fine. As long as they showed their tokens, the troublemakers would definitely be in fear.”
"Alright, someone will come tomorrow." After Gao Xijie finished speaking, he left with the guard.
"Goodbye, Master Gao! Be careful!" Shangguan Die 'er waved her hand at their backs and shouted.
The next day, everyone sincerely knelt down and kowtowed three times to thank Master Bei for letting them live with dignity. Shangguan Die 'er explained to Wu Yixin and Yi Shuiling. Guan Supeng also made arrangements for Su Yue and Uncle Ji. When Yi Shuiling walked out of the room, her face was red because Master Bei had used Charm Temptation to let them try it out. It was indispensable for martial arts scenes. Shangguan Die 'er had been thinking about how to bring The Legend of the Condor Heroes to the stage.
Two handsome guards arrived as promised. At first, when he heard that he would be changing his job, he was very unhappy. It would be embarrassing to go to a brothel for no reason. When they arrived here, they realized that they were wrong. The art garden was full of vitality, laughter, and enthusiasm.
Shangguan Die 'er let them play for a while to familiarize themselves with the environment. The work was not tiring, and they only needed to suppress those who were not afraid of death. She didn't know that when they met Guan Supeng, they could sense that the other party was an expert.
Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, night fell. Liang Zhu was finally going to meet the audience. Gao Xijie had arrived once again.
As the music played, the audience entered one after another. Guan Supeng and another person were ticket inspectors. As long as the signature on the admission ticket was the same as the signature on the piece of paper on the wooden board, it would pass. Fortunately, he didn't find anyone with ulterior motives.
The waiter served tea to some of the audience.
"Why don't we have any tea? We spent ten taels of silver and didn't even get a sip of water.”A certain young master raised an objection. It was obvious that he was a rich second-generation heir.
"Is this young master a member?" Shangguan Die 'er picked up the red card on the table and said.
"No." The young master shook his head.
"Did Young Master pay for the tea?" Shangguan Die 'er pointed at the green card and asked.
He shook his head again. He understood. He saw the white wooden token on his table and asked,""Why is this white?"
"White represents purity. You can use your family background to turn it green, or you can use your own efforts to get red. When the card in front of you is red, I will personally serve you a cup of tea.”
Shangguan Die 'er's words encouraged the young man,""Alright, it's a deal!"
"Ten taels of silver for a ticket." At this moment, there were no empty seats, which meant that everyone's families were well-off. It also showed that the emperor was good at governing the country. The Emperor is busy every day. Isn't he hoping for the country to prosper and the people to live in peace? How many of you here paid three taels of silver to enter? As the saying goes,"I'm born with talent." Your parents have worked hard to raise you up. Have you contributed to the family? It would be a pity if he was just a rice worm to add some nutrients to the earth. The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the strength of the youth is the strength of the country, and the progress of the youth is the progress of the country. I hope that there will be more and more red cards. On the surface, it looks like the income of the art garden has decreased, but in reality, it is the country that has benefited. It would be a blessing for the country if there was a full house one day.”
Shangguan Die 'er's words caused the audience to whisper. Ah Da and the others took the lead in cheering.
"Master Gao, I seem to be cultivating talents for the country.”Shangguan Die 'er whispered.
Cough, cough, cough. Gao Xijie, who was drinking tea, recalled what she had said and choked on his tea. He thought that this girl was addicted to the reward. He said half-truthfully,"Enter the palace and be conferred the title of Consort."”
"Xiaobei wouldn't dare. With my temper, I'll cause chaos in the palace. Xiaobei, take your leave." Shangguan Die 'er quickly said.
Jun Wuyao's words frightened her.
Gao Xijie smiled, feeling a little disappointed.
At this moment, the performance on the stage began. The audience burst into laughter when they saw " One Leaf Eyes ". This was what Master Bei had arranged, the " dessert " before the " feast."
After a moment of silence, the music started and the performance officially began…
Pa, pa, pa…The applause was thunderous, and many of the audience's eyes were wet with tears as their hearts surged. The actors on stage stood in a row and bowed deeply to the audience to express their gratitude. Tears welled up in their eyes because Master Bei, who had given them a new life, had left the art garden in the vast night.
