Li Shiyue picked up the cakes on the table and started to eat. As she was enjoying her meal, she saw the lobby on the first floor gradually filled with people, and people were moving props onto the stage in the middle of the lobby one by one.

"Uncle, what's the show tonight?"

Li Wangming said, "I really don't know. Let me take a look."

He picked up the brocade-wrapped folder from the tray in the middle of the round table. When he opened it, the first thing that caught his eye was the name of tonight's play - "The Story of Zhen Li".

While looking at the folded copy introducing "The Story of Zhenli", Li Wangming read out the introduction of the play to Li Shiyue: "The spring breeze in March turns the south bank green, and the silk reeling by the Zhenli River is a beautiful sight."

"Oh, this is interesting.

The last time I listened to the play "Two Brothers" here, there was no copy with the introduction to read.

Could it be that only the private rooms here offer this discount?
Last time we were on the other side, we didn't have this thing?"

Just as Li Shiyue finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter coming in to add more tea.

Li Shiyue walked over and took out a few copper coins from her purse. She put them all on the table, looked up at the waiter and asked with a smile: "Brother Xiaoer, may I ask if the profit from this play is only in our room?
Or do everyone have it?"

The waiter smiled and bowed to Li Shiyue before replying, "Dear guest, in the past, the opera troupes we invited to our restaurant never lost money.

However, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the shopkeeper specially invited the Hechun troupe from Jiangnan to perform.

This play "The Story of Zhen Li" is the most famous play in Jiangnan recently. However, this play was originally sung in Wu dialect. When it came to Andong, the tune was changed a little, so this version was created.

With this discount book, our guests will be able to understand better when watching the show.

Therefore, this discount is available in every private room.”

The waiter's reply was very good, and he explained the reasons for the discount clearly.

When the waiter saw Li Shiyue nodded, he went to get the copper coins on the table.

By the time the gong sounded downstairs, Li Shiyue had already eaten half his meal at the table.

It was also after she heard the sound of the gong that she looked downstairs again. What a coincidence, who do you think she saw?

"Ah! Isn't that the general?"

Li Qiutian looked with some surprise at the man with a burly and strong figure standing at the top of the stairs leading to the second floor.

Li Shiyue looked at Liu Tan standing sideways behind someone, raising his hand forward, as if leading the way for that person.

"Who can lead the way with a great general?"

Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian looked at each other, surprise revealed in their eyes.

Apart from the King of Zhenbei, who else in this land of Andong could make Liu Tan so respectfully lead the way?

Li Shiyue looked behind Liu Tan and King Zhenbei and saw a dozen people following them, among them were Ma San and Zhao Da, two people Li Shiyue was familiar with.

Li Shiyue silently said in her heart: "As long as it's not next to our Green Bamboo Room!"

At this time, Li Shiyue happened to meet the eyes of Ma San who was walking to the stairs to the second floor.

Li Shiyue didn't dare to move. She was betting that Ma San's eyesight couldn't even see her face.

But she lost the bet!
Ma San was a deputy general who followed the general through wind and rain. He could ride a horse and shoot arrows. With his eyesight, how could he not see Li Shiyue's face?

Faced with Ma San's smile, Li Shiyue had no choice but to smile back at Ma San.

What made Li Shiyue even more upset was that she clearly heard someone enter the pine room next to her bamboo room.

King Zhenbei and Liu Tan entered the Green Pine Room!
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the play on the high stage downstairs had already begun. The play was about a girl named Zhenli from the Li family in Jiangnan, who made a living by reeling silk and weaving brocade.

After three years of mourning for her father, Li Zhenli was already eighteen. At this point in the play, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Li Shiyue stood up and said to Li's mother and the others, "I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."

After saying goodbye to Li's mother and the others, Li Shiyue walked out of the private room without paying any attention to Li Wangming's questions.

Sure enough, she saw Ma San standing outside waiting for her, and the two of them stood at the door talking in low voices.

"October, why are you here?"

"Brother Ma San, this is not the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night. My mother and I came to the city to celebrate with my second uncle, so we came here to watch the play.

Brother Ma San, what are you doing? I seem to have seen the general? "

When Li Shiyue mentioned Liu Tan, Ma San glanced at the door of the Qingsong Room and signaled Li Shiyue to follow him out.

The two walked out for about ten steps and came to the pillar at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. Ma San then lowered his head and explained to Li Shiyue in a low voice: "Tell me, is this a coincidence?
The prince and the general have an appointment with Madam Yan, right next to your private room!"

"Madam Yan? Jiu Niang's mother?"

Ma San nodded and responded to Li Shiyue's question.

"Just watch the show and pretend you don't know anything."

After talking to Ma San for a few more words, Li Shiyue went back to the private room.

When Li's mother and Li Wangming saw her come back, they thought she had gone to the toilet, so they didn't ask her anything.

However, Li Qiutian and Shitou noticed her abnormality. Li Shiyue smiled at Shitou and comforted him, then turned around and shook her head at Li Qiutian's worried look.

At this moment, the play on the high stage downstairs has already sung about Li Zhenli and a scholar getting married, and they live out the days of you studying while I reel silk.

Among the green pines, King Zhenbei, wearing a white jade crown and a dark wide-sleeved robe, sat on the main seat.

Next to the King of Zhenbei was Liu Tan, who was holding the pot and pouring tea. Opposite the King of Zhenbei sat two people, one of whom was naturally Yan Xuefei, and the other was Li Mingfeng.

Yan Xuefei and Li Mingfeng naturally came in Taoist robes, and they arrived only a quarter of an hour earlier than King Zhenbei.

Yan Xuefei made an appointment with King Zhenbei to talk at the restaurant through Liu Tan, the purpose of which was Yan Jiuniang's marriage.

The play in the audience reached a small climax at this moment. Half a year after Li Zhenli got married, she gave birth to a daughter. The humming and humming voice spread into the private room.

"I only have Jiu Niang as my child in this life. If anyone wants Jiu Niang to suffer, that would be the end of me!
Whoever wants my life, I will take his life!"

There was a lot of noise from the audience, but there was complete silence among the green pines.

After a few breaths, King Zhenbei looked straight across, but he was not looking at Yan Xuefei, whom he had not seen for several years, and his words were not in response to what Yan Xuefei said about Yan Jiuniang.

Instead, he stared at Li Mingfeng's handsome face and asked, "Who is this?"

Li Mingfeng naturally ignored the words of King Zhenbei. He looked directly at King Zhenbei and said, "I am Li Mingfeng, Fei'er's senior brother."

"Hehe, Brother?

I think it's a mistress!"

Liu Tan was sitting nearby, and he was really having a headache at the moment.

How could he have imagined that the King of Zhenbei, who always acted like a strict father in front of him, would be so sarcastic to a strange man after meeting Yan Xuefei, and even say such shocking words as if he was jealous.

"Liu Cong, are you crazy?"

The King of Zhenbei, who has only been heard of but never seen, finally makes his appearance~——
