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 more 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's mine?"

Mrs. Bai smiled, raised her eyebrows, 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 really enjoyed talking, talked without stopping, and 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. There were tears deep in her eyes, as if she was about to burst into tears the next second.

Isn't that right? In the whole family, except for her who is in school, everyone else has nothing to do, so we can't force her 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 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 turned dark. There is one class that always exists in girls' schools from junior high school to high school, and that is the "Sewing" class. He has also seen such unreasonable requirements in Chinese textbooks, but fortunately he teaches 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 or be able to obey my orders."

Bai Gui resisted the urge to hit Jin Meili. Now that Jin Meili is not too young, she is eleven or twelve years old, and it is definitely not suitable for him to hit her. He can 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, holding up a Chinese textbook and accusing them.

"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 was laughing at Bai Gui. Jin Meili was young and would not be burdened. It was her own mother who was in trouble. .

Unfilial daughter!

"Second concubine, don't be angry. She's just a kid. Beat her and she'll be fine."

Bai Gui suddenly realized.

It turned out that the second concubine was grumbling about wanting to transfer Jin Meili to another school, so Jin Meili came to tease him, making everyone think that he had no talent and didn't need to transfer.

This is a very normal thing!

Students have been in school for a long time and have classmates and friends. If they rashly transfer, it is equivalent to giving up their friends. Parents obviously don't care about the opinions of their children, but pay more attention to their future, so this happened.

But no matter how much he understands, he still has to beat her.

The second concubine breathed a sigh of relief, got up immediately, and took Jin Meili to another room, and then there was a loud howling and crying sound, like a pig being slaughtered.

Although Jin Meili is not old, such an ugly appearance cannot be shown to outsiders.

Even if it is equivalent to a concubine.

It's not okay!

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

"Actually, I don't mind it much, but Meili is still young and needs to be taught a little more."

"Otherwise, when she grows up, she will have a set character and it will be difficult to teach her."

Bai Gui was very "grudge-bearing" and suggested to the second concubine.

"You..."

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

She wanted to eat him alive.

"Meili, don't be angry, Sister Xiuzhu will apologize to you."

Bai Xiuzhu saw this and comforted her.

"Don't, since Brother Meihe came back, you have changed, protecting him in everything..."

Jin Meili curled her lips and said disdainfully.

However, after being comforted by this, the angry look also disappeared, but when talking to Bai Xiuzhu again, she inevitably glared at Bai Gui occasionally and continued to "hate".
