The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Theater tickets, small gifts.

Bai Gui reached out to take it, handed it to Bai Xiuzhu casually, and started to take a look at it.

This is a theater ticket for "Tianhe Tea Garden".

box ticket.

It's stamped with a red stamp.

The places to watch theater in Yanjing are not limited to theaters. Tea gardens are the most popular places to watch theater. Among the major theaters in Yanjing, many famous theaters are actually tea gardens. Most of them started selling tea after gathering business. Later, they invited storytelling, Jingyun drums, cross talk, shadow puppets, acrobatics, bangzi, and Pingxi opera. Gradually, they became It became lively, the more it opened, the better it got. A theater was built and theaters began to be sold.

This is easier to understand. If you open a theater first and fail to hire a famous class, you will probably lose money. But if you open a tea house, it won't be a big loss. If you add a little bit, the business will be good, and if you have a foundation, it will sell well in the future, and the theater will be lively.

"Thank you very much, Sister Huichang."

Bai Gui smiled and took it in his arms.

Giving away theater tickets is a common social behavior in this era.

To be honest, he has never been to a theater these days.

There was too much entertainment in later generations, so it was not unreasonable for opera to be lonely. It was easy to move from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to move from extravagance to frugality. It was natural that he was not interested in opera. There were not many young people in later generations who liked opera.

When you say you like something, you just keep it in your mouth.

However, opera accounted for a large part of the entertainment life at this time and became more and more prosperous.

They all complement each other!

There are things that emerge in each era. When they become desolate, it’s not because the opera has no taste, but because the times have changed.

"Huichang, where is mine?"

Mrs. Bai smiled, raised her brows, and had sharp eyes.

She couldn't give Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu a chance to be alone in the private room. This would be a big problem.

"See what you said, Mrs. Bai, I'll prepare it for you too."

Cheng Huichang had no choice but to take out another ticket and handed it to Mrs. Bai's hand.

Mrs. Bai then smiled.

Although the box tickets are directly rented and sold for a box, in fact, when you book a box, the store will often give you several box tickets. When the time comes, you can enter with the ticket, and the number of people cannot exceed the number of tickets.

Otherwise, there would only be room for four people in the box.

If there are too many people, the store will lose money.

After all, it is not as high as the ticket price of selling a single seat.

That's why Mrs. Bai asked this question.

Bai Gui saw this.

I sighed secretly in my heart.

The great opportunity was ruined by Mrs. Bai.

This was just a small episode of the banquet, and other things were soon discussed.

Bai Gui also admired these women. They were really interested in talking, they talked without stopping, and they didn't feel tired after talking for an hour or two.

"Brother Meihe, please guide me in my homework..."

"None of them are willing to guide me in my homework. You are sir, so you can definitely do it."

Jin Meili trotted down the stairs and looked at Bai Gui with a pleading look on her face. Tears were brewing deep in her eyes, as if she was about to burst into tears the next second.

Isn't it? In the whole family, except for her who is in school, everyone else has nothing to do, so she can't be forced to study hard.

Beating a child on a rainy day is just idle time.

"Okay, okay, I'll guide you in your homework."

Bai Gui pulled away and walked aside, ready to teach Jin Meili how to study.

Talking to these women was fine at first, but over time it became a little torture.

"Well, this is a text for blind girls."

"Helen Keller."

Bai Gui read a section and nodded.

He instructs Xiao Qianyo in his homework, and the texts above are mostly Japanese poems, while he instructs Jin Meili. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, most of the Chinese textbooks include translations of European and American articles. This is normal, and this is what church schools do.

The Blind Girl is actually "If You Give Me Three Days of Sight". valley

However, Chinese textbooks would not give such a lengthy name and would simply replace it with "blind girl".

Helen Keller wrote this book in 1903. According to the communication methods at that time, coupled with the speed of circulation, it was impossible for it to become popular in the country so quickly. It was probably promoted by church schools.

"The teacher asked us to sew a rag doll based on this text after class..."

Jin Meili pointed to the topic at the back of the text and said crisply.

Bai Gui: "..."

"This is what the sewing class is about."

Bai Gui's face darkened. There was one class that always existed in girls' schools from junior high to high school, and that was the "Sewing" class. He had also seen this kind of unreasonable request in Chinese textbooks, but fortunately he taught in the university department. Some parts have been skipped.

Now that Jin Meili is still in high school, it is normal for her classes to be mixed.

"Yes."

Jin Meili held her chin up and looked at Bai Gui expectantly.

"With little talent and little knowledge, I might not be able to do the job well and be unable to obey my orders."

Bai Gui resisted the urge to hit Jin Meili. Now that Jin Meili was not too young, she was eleven or twelve years old, so it was definitely not suitable for him to hit her. He could only say these words forcefully.

"What's the meaning?"

Jin Meili's ancient prose was not very good, and Bai Gui read it quickly, which made her stunned.

"Can't do it, thank you."

Bai Gui explained helplessly.

"Brother Meihe can't even sew rag dolls, so what kind of gentleman are you..."

"I don't want to transfer to another school."

Jin Meili walked to where the ladies were chatting, held up a Chinese textbook and accused.

"Meili, have I not dealt with you recently?"

The second concubine looked slightly shocked. She said she was the second concubine of the Jin family, but her status was far different from that of Mrs. Jin. Now Jin Meili is laughing at Bai Gui. Jin Meili is young and will not be burdened. It is her own mother who is in trouble. .

Unfilial daughter!

"Second aunt, there's no need to be angry. It's a child. It'll be fine after a beating."

Bai Gui suddenly realized.

It turned out that the second aunt was muttering that she wanted to transfer Jin Meili to another school, so Jin Meili came over to tease him, making everyone think that he had no talent and did not need to transfer to another school.

This is normal!

Students have been in school for a long time and have classmates and friends. Changing schools rashly is equivalent to giving up friends. Parents obviously don't care about their children's opinions and value their future more, so this happened.

But no matter how he understood it, he still had to fight when it was time to fight.

The second aunt was so relieved that she got up immediately and took Jin Meili to another room. Then there was a loud howling and crying sound, like a pig being killed.

Although Jin Meili is young, such ugly appearance cannot be shown to outsiders.

Even if it is equivalent to a family member.

Will not work!

After a while, Jin Meili, with red eyes and half rubbing her buttocks, was taken to the front hall by her second concubine, and they continued to talk as if nothing happened.

"Actually, I personally don't mind it that much, but Meili is still young and needs more education."

"Otherwise, when you grow up and have a set nature, it will be difficult to educate."

Bai Gui is very "vindictive" and suggested to the second concubine.

"you……"

Jin Meili's beautiful eyes suddenly changed, she stared at Bai Gui and gritted her teeth, as if she was looking at an enemy.

I wish I could eat its flesh raw.

"Meili, don't be angry. Sister Xiuzhu will make amends for you."

Seeing this, Bai Xiuzhu comforted her.

"No, you have changed since brother Meihe came back. You support him in everything..."

Jin Meili curled her lips and said disdainfully.

However, after being comforted by this, the angry look disappeared. However, when talking to Bai Xiuzhu again, he would inevitably glare at Bai Gui occasionally and continue to be "hatred".
