Chapter 74
"Dieyi, change into men's clothes, let's go out to play. When I came back yesterday, I heard from the servants that a new opera troupe was very prosperous, just in Wangchun Tower, let's go and listen to a brief show."
"become."
Dieyi went to the house to get a men's outfit that was specially customized for her. There were several sets of embroidery, which were very fresh and elegant.
"This set of purple lapels."
Chu Wan glanced at her and picked out the straight-fitting robe with a purple lapel embroidered silver-white bamboo leaves.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Dieyi helped her put on makeup, folded all her hair up on top of her head and covered it with a round cap.
A man's hair is not as long as a girl, and it is already very long if it can be folded over her shoulders. Chu Wan wears a hat commonly used by men, which can cover her too long hair and will not be discovered to be a girl. Otherwise, you will know that she is a girl by looking at the size and thickness of the bun.
Dieyi used makeup powder mixed with medicine powder to cover the ear holes on her ears and rubbed them slightly on her face to make her skin look less white and tender and slightly yellow.
He took out a piece of light yellow leather from the box and gently pressed it on the position of her Adam's apple. It looked slightly raised. Butterfly Wu slowly began to add pink, covering up the surrounding area where the flaws were exposed. At the same time, he put the fake Adam's apple on Lao Gu, but he couldn't tell it was fake.
After doing this, apply makeup powder on other parts of the neck to keep it consistent with the color on the face, so that you can't tell the authenticity at all.
After finishing the makeup, Chu Wan looked at it and smiled with satisfaction, "Dieyi's disguise skills are becoming more and more exquisite. Any craft still needs to be worked hard to figure out. I am not as good as you in this disguise skills."
"Young Master is joking. You have to worry about a lot. This thing is a path. There is no trace of painting like this, and it is not easy to be discovered. It is much better than wearing a whole human skin mask."
"Yes, it's really easy to use. The advanced makeup technique is much easier to use than the human skin mask. You can think about it more."
"yes."
"Let's go, bring the money with you, let's go to the opera, and I'll treat you to your master."
Chu Wan touched the purse on her waist and spoke with a smile.
"That's great. Let's go eat delicious food and listen to operas."
The butler came out of the study room, "Young master, are you going out?"
"Well, we went to listen to the opera. I heard that there is a new opera troupe. We won't come back to eat at noon."
"good."
"How is that young man?"
Chu Wanshun asked.
"No problem, it's very good. You can play, just watch it, don't worry, you're recovering well."
The housekeeper smiled. The young master was absolutely solid in his ability, so there was no doubt about this.
"That's good, I've gone to play."
Chu Wan explained and took Abu and Dieyi out to play.
I didn't sit in a sedan chair, so I walked around the store and looked around the rare ones.
"This is really prosperous, from south to north, everything is available, it is indeed a good place."
After walking around Chuwan, I had a deep understanding. There were people passing by, and my face was calm and energetic. There were many kinds of stalls and goods sold, and it was very lively.
"Indeed, the climate here is relatively warm and comfortable, comparable to our Medicine King Valley. It is very prosperous, and the profit here is not small every year."
"Um."
"Do you want to do other business?"
Dieyi asked thoughtfully.
Chu Wan shook her head, "It's time to stop. We have passed the time when we need a large number of stores. Instead, we must be careful, choose shops that are useful to us and provide support and expand our connections."
"Then I see that you have been studying maps these days, and I thought you were going to open a new shop."
"It's not a new shop, I want to intervene in the canal transportation."
Chu Wan pursed her lips and had a thoughtful expression.
"We have always had our own boat, which is a small fight and can't be even more complicated. It takes some effort to make it bigger."
"Young master, the Xu family in Jiangnan has been in the canal transportation for a long time. It has been three generations and has a foundation. If you want to connect it into pieces, the Xu family cannot get around it."
Dieyi spoke to remind her.
"I'll think about it again."
Chu Wan sighed, the time is not yet ripe.
I bought some snacks all the way to the restaurant, and the guy came up to greet me.
“Is there a private room?”
Dieyi stepped forward and talked to the guy.
"You came in just the right place, and there is another private room, which is a bit expensive, but the location is very good."
"lead the way."
"Okay, please be careful at your feet."
The guy happily led his men to the second floor private room.
"Go and make a pot of white tea. It's good, and then add some fruits and snacks."
"You wait, come here."
Dieyi took out a handkerchief and wiped the tables and chairs one by one, opened the windows and dissipated the smell. She observed and inspected the house before letting Chu Wan enter the door and sit down.
The guy came in with a teapot, "What flavor do you like for white tea and fruit desserts? Is there a list of you to order?"
Chu Wan took a look and ordered fried peanuts, fruit cut into plates, as well as some small snacks such as osmanthus cake.
"Okay, here's it. If you want to listen to the opera, you can just order the opera and rattle the bell. The younger one can hear it when you walk around the second floor."
"Um."
Chu Wan looked at the sack and wanted to choose the 2-part play she liked.
Only the private room can order operas, and it costs money to order operas, especially if you invite a cast member to sing operas.
The opera troupe has a fixed daily drama, which rotates to motivate the enthusiasm of drama fans. The remaining time can allow the distinguished guests in the private room to order the drama and listen to the plays they like. This is adding drama. One play requires money, and it is customary that if you sing well, you have to reward them. The opera troupe earns the money of the distinguished guests.
The roles of the sermon are marked, especially those who sing well as the red triangle, which are the ones that sing very well.
Chu Wan ordered two famous works.
Dieyi’s go-to-door tricks were handed over to the clerk, “We have to listen to the boss’s play and arrange them later.”
After saying that, he took out a golden peanut from his purse and handed it over, and asked, "It's enough."
"Enough, this whole set is enough. Okay, you can listen to the opera with peace of mind. If you need to use the small ones, I'll send you the letter and arrange it."
Dieyi took out a small piece of silver and put it in his hand, "I'll give you some cleverness to give me some water."
"No problem, you're sitting in the room."
The guy happily collected the reward silver and was busy.
Abu sat on a stool next to the window, drank tea and snacks alone, and Dieyi stood behind him to serve Chu Wan.
Chu Wan was eating peanuts and listening to the play, shaking her head happily.
I usually like to listen to operas, stories, and music, and I have no other hobbies.
After listening to a play, Chu Wan took a sip of tea with satisfaction. She sang it so well. Now she has to talk about a book and give the opera troupe some time to dress up and rest.
Xu Yandong and Xi Rong entered the door. When they turned around, they saw Dieyi standing there. Seeing that the young man was sitting there, he was slightly stunned.
