On the first day of March 19, Pingguang, Yanli, although the continuous drizzle had stopped for two days, the weather still did not improve at all. The weather was gloomy and the sunshine did not appear for several days, which made the entire Yanjing City shrouded in darkness in the past few days.

Hou Lin Opera began to close the door early in the morning and erected wooden signs, which would be closed for one day.

In the main hall of the theater, two famous actors Hou Qing and Lin Yuan were sitting drinking tea. Boss She of the theater was laughing, "Two gentlemen, they have already arranged there. After noon, we can set off. The invitation from the butler of the Ximen Mansion personally gave to ask the two gentlemen to sing a few songs tonight. Those present were all prominent in the current dynasty. The scene of our Houlin theater was supported by the two gentlemen. Hehe... The two gentlemen's rewards this time will definitely not be missing..."

Hou Qing chuckled and said, "Mr. Ximen holds a banquet to celebrate his birthday. This is naturally a great event, so we naturally have to support him. However, this invitation was just off this morning, which really surprised us. In fact, the corners in Beijing don't say anything, but they are more famous than the two of us. Why did Master Ximen take a fancy to us?"

Boss She smiled and said, "Of course, it's because the two gentlemen sang well. It may be that there are famous people in Beijing, but if there are those who sing better than the two, then no one can find them."

Lin Yuan asked lightly: "Boss She, how many people are we going to go?"

"Today, the Ximen Mansion hosts all the guests, so it is impossible to neglect. In fact, we have to do a lot of things. The two gentlemen are the protagonists, and with a few roles, they have to go to nearly twenty people." Boss She smiled and said, "The butler of the Ximen family also said that Mr. Ximen specially made a yard for our theater, so that we can prepare with peace of mind after we go in."

"Since we are going to go out to the garden to perform, we have to bring all our items, so we have to be careful and don't break it." Hou Qing instructed.

He and Lin Yuan are both famous actors in Houlin Theater. The garden is rich and they all rely on him. Therefore, although Boss She is the owner of the theater, she is polite to these two people and dare not be negligent at all. At first glance, the person who is the one who thinks these two are the masters and Boss She is a servant.

As he was talking, a man walked into the hall. He was an old man in his fifties. He was dressed simply and looked extremely ordinary.

Boss She frowned and cursed: "Honest Man Geng, who told you to come in without reporting? I was talking to two gentlemen. Are you blind? Don't you get out of here yet."

Geng is a night patrolman in the theater. He was alone. A few years ago, he came to the theater and found a night patrol errand. Because he asked for a very low salary, he was low-key, and he was diligent in doing things, so he worked in this garden for several years.

Every night before midnight in the theater, people go to the garden empty, and there are not many people left in the garden. For example, those who are in charge, there are houses outside the garden. After everyone goes, the garden is empty and there are always people guarding them. So Geng Dashi sleeps during the day and starts patrolling the garden with a lonely lamp at night. Almost no one in the garden pays attention to the existence of such a person. Even the owner of the garden, Boss She is a little angry. At this time, he saw this Geng Dashi entering without invitation. After all, this hall is the main hall of the garden, and not everyone can come in. Even if he acts in the garden, his identity is different. For example, Hou Lin and the other two are naturally the characters on the top of the tower. This hall is naturally free to come and go, but Geng Dashi, who is not even considered a person at the bottom of the tower, is absolutely not qualified to enter the main hall.

"You don't have to know who we are and what we want to do. As long as you listen to us, everything will be safe." Guantinghan said slowly: "We are going to enter Ximen Mansion to celebrate Lord Ximen's birthday, and also to cheer up the nobles and nobles!"

...

...

Ximen Mansion is also in Dongcheng. Although Ximen Leizang is a child of a noble family and is also the main character of the Ximen Family, he is only the minister after all, and his mansion is not too big in Yanjing City. However, when it comes to the most lively place in Yanjing City today, it is naturally necessary to belong to Ximen Mansion.

Ximen Lei Zang was wearing a big robe. He changed his style of a military general and looked quite kind and humble. He greeted Tai Shi Xiao, who had just gotten out of the sedan chair in front of the mansion. He bowed deeply and said humbly: "The Grand Master is here, and I am honored to be a mansion, and I am really glorious!" He stepped forward to support Tai Shi Xiao and said: "The Grand Master is so grateful to Lei Zang!"

Xiao Huaijin behind Master Xiao looked at Ximen Leizang with disdain, but Master Xiao smiled kindly, patted Ximen Leizang's hand gently, and said warmly: "You can think of my old bones, but you still care about me, an old thing. I told them that even if you have a bad body, you will come to celebrate."

Ximen Leizang gave another tribute, looking grateful and crying: "The teacher's kindness, Leizang will never forget it. In the future, if the teacher has his own destiny, Leizang will definitely do his best!"

When Master Xiao heard this, his eyes that seemed dim were flashing strangely, and Xiao Huaijin also showed joy. In Xiao Huaijin's opinion, Ximen Leizang's words were truly surrendered, and he was going to join the Xiao family's disciple.

"Shangshu Xiao!" Ximen Leizang clasped his fists at Xiao Huaijin again and said with a smile: "There has been a seat in the garden. Please ask the Grand Master and the Minister of the Grand Master to enter and rest." He ordered the man to say, "I won't lead the way yet!"

Xiao Huaijin stepped forward to caress Master Xiao and entered the mansion. When the officials who arrived first greeted the Xiao family and greeted him.

Ximen Mansion naturally has the East and West Courtyards. Today, the main officials of the aristocratic family have arranged the "Qiqiao Pavilion" in Zidong Courtyard. Qiqiao Pavilion is an elegant small garden. It is called Qiqiao Pavilion because it has a platform made of seven-color stones inside, so it is called Qiqiao Pavilion. This is also a unique place in Ximen Mansion.

These seven kinds of colors are seven, and they are paired with glass pearls. Especially at night, they are full of brilliance and brilliant, which also shows the luxury of the Ximen family.

This is a stage used for performances. Ximen Leizang is a brave man, but he is very good at singing and dancing, especially the Yan Ji dance. Therefore, every now and then, some friends will be invited to watch the moving dance, unique stage, graceful and charming beauty, and moving and seductive dance, forming an extremely gorgeous landscape under the night.

Most of the other officials were arranged in the yard to the west. The entire Ximen Mansion was brightly lit and crowded. The major families were surprisingly consistent this time, giving the Ximen family enough face.

The officials in Qiqiao Pavilion were also very happy, but the Xiao and Su families just greeted each other and even opened the seats. There were only five wine tables in Qiqiao Pavilion, with more than twenty important officials of the court, and all six ministers of the court were among them.
