Sure enough, after a few days, the Hua family troupe received an invitation to the red list, which meant that the Hua family troupe officially came into everyone's attention.

Everyone in the garden was filled with joy, but Xie Xian had a dull expression on her face. Things were going too smoothly, making her feel unreal.

The Hua Family Troupe was invited to perform at Guanyuan again. This time the stage was changed to a water terrace dedicated to the Red List, which could accommodate thousands of people.

The lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is close to a cliff on one side, forming a natural loudspeaker.

Xie Xian was amazed. The ancients really knew how to have fun. It was rare to see such a terrain since Xiangxia. There was also a cableway on the cliff. It looked like a good place to explore.

No wonder it can be used as a special venue for ranking, the owner of Guanyuan really spared no effort!

Three days later, the Legend of the White Snake continued. On the high corridor, curtains were hung to divide the corridor into small rooms prepared for the noble ladies of aristocratic families. Going down the gentle slope, there were seats for guests separated by low tables.

Maids and servants moved around in the room, making it much more upscale than the previous few days when the audience could only stand.

White Snake was performed again. Although many people came, the audience response was not as enthusiastic as the previous two times.

Xie Xian was not on the boat. Wang Yu was dragging her to find food. "Let me tell you, the vegetarian chicken in the south is the best."

"Isn't that vegetarian chicken from Xishan Temple?"

"Yeah, but they also opened a vegetarian restaurant in the city, saying they couldn't bear to see everyone suffer so much because of stuttering."

This was the first time she had seen someone talk about doing business so refreshingly. Xie Xian grinned and asked casually, "Have you ever been to Xishan Temple?"

Wang Yu curled his lips and said, "I've been there, but it's not interesting. There are a bunch of big monks there. My uncle said that it costs a lot of money to go to Xishan Temple, so he doesn't want me to go if there's nothing else."

Every time my aunt and uncle go there, they bring a lot of money.

Well, it seems that Xishan Temple has a very wide range of business!

"Hey! I just saw a big monk passing by!" Wang Yu pointed upwards. When she came to find Xie Xian, she saw someone leading a monk up the mountain.

On the mountain, the viewing spot is the best, but there are only a few pavilions, which are said to be prepared for dignitaries.

The pink and white pavilion on the top of the mountain is reserved for Princess Li Xi.

Xie Xian narrowed her eyes. It turned out that what her elder brother said was right. The eldest princess had a lot of cards in her hand.

At this moment, Xie Xian didn't know that the monk from Xishan Temple had brought the princess an unexpected news.

Li Xi was lying on his side, and the waiters below him were all handsome young men with red lips and white teeth.

"You mean, you found the person who kidnapped Prince Yu?" Li Xi frowned. It's too late to find this person now, and it's of no use except to vent the anger of Prince Yu's Mansion.

The monk didn't dare to look at Li Xi, who was sitting at the top of the group, and said hesitantly, "My uncle said that the man just happened to break his leg in our back mountain some time ago, and the temple was kind enough to take him in. He was grateful for the abbot's kindness, so he was willing to surrender himself."

The young waiter waiting beside him twitched his lips. It was obvious that Old Qian had a shaved head, and his leg was broken just these two days.

No wonder the Xishan Temple is not afraid of anyone as long as they have money, so the reward that is delivered to the door is naturally no problem.

Li Xi has been cooperating with Xishan Temple for a long time and is familiar with the money-hungry nature of those monks. Now that he has caught the person, he should reward him.

She waved her hand, and the servant beside her led the monk down to receive the reward.

At this moment, the Legend of the White Snake on the stage below was reaching its climax, with Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing fighting each other. Both Bai and Qing were specially trained by Xie Xian. Their movements were smooth, and the fighting scenes were very entertaining to watch.

"Cheers!" People sitting below cheered.

"The Hua family troupe is really good." Li Xi watched with interest. She didn't care much about this troupe of actors, but she couldn't resist someone giving her advice.

There was a noise, and a figure came out from behind the screen.

"Since the princess has taken a liking to them, it is their honor." The man touched Li Xi's white and tender ankle.

As if being burned by the man's scorching palm, Li Xi glared at him and said, "I heard you know these actors? How can you be so cruel?"

"They are just some toys. The princess won't like them."

"Hiss~" Li Xi inserted his fingers into the man's hair, leaned back, and took a deep breath.

“But the last incident with the Cui family was a failure, and there hasn’t been any progress on your side of the Chamber of Commerce!” Li Xi felt a little itchy in his heart, but he still kept a gloomy face and pretended to be angry.

The man did not hold back at all, but instead pushed forward, saying lightly: "This new opera is all about its novelty. If it can be sent to the capital earlier, it will be their good fortune."

He knew that His Majesty's birthday was coming soon, so people were searching for rare treasures everywhere, which led to the suggestion at the beginning.

"Jiu Zifu, I will trust you again."

The waiters around the pavilion tactfully withdrew, while in another private seat not far away, two plump women watched the performance with great interest.

The two were discussing the plot of the Legend of the White Snake. After hearing the report from the visitor, Widow Qian glanced at her friend and said, "The guy from your family has entered the princess's tent again!"

She had a weird look on her face, "Hey? Why did I say again?"

The noblewoman nicknamed Madam Shezhi twisted the jade ring on her hand and waved her hand: "Let him go. If he doesn't make more money, he won't be able to support his whole house!"

"Isn't his yours too?" Qian Duoduo was curious. Her good friend was a strange man. Before getting married, she had already agreed with her husband's family to have their own affairs. It was a pure business marriage.

Shezhi spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells: "Bah! You want to use my money to support his house full of stuff? That's wishful thinking."

Qian Duoduo came over and asked, "How much do you think the princess can give?" She has always been curious about how men calculate the price of prostitution.

Moreover, the eldest princess had many lovers. This Jiu Zifu was originally there to help the princess, but somehow they ended up together.

"With his limited skills, he can only talk!" Shezhi showed disdain.

Qian Duoduo spat out a mouthful of tea, "Ahem!"

"I think you are the same!" His good friend, who was desperate for Zhang Lang some time ago, not only extorted money from Jiuzifu, but also took the opportunity to blackmail several mistresses.

I heard yesterday that she found another guy who is eight feet tall and is the son of a blacksmith. Well, never mind, as long as she has money, let her be happy.

Shezhi glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes, already unhappy: "Although I am a playful person, it is always consensual, okay! Unlike that good-for-nothing, not only does he use dirty tricks, he also likes to use shady tricks."

Whenever Jiuzifu was mentioned, Shezhi would curse him for the whole night without repeating herself. It was all because the two of them had a long-standing grudge. At the beginning, they agreed to play separately, but it turned out that his family had set their eyes on Shezhi's dowry and instigated Jiuzifu to let Shezhi pay for it.
