Chapter 1627 Competition (1)
Hongyun Theater is located in the prosperous Jinyu Alley. Go eastward along Yu Street, exit Jinhua Gate, and arrive at Jinyu Alley. Go inward along Jinyu Alley and walk to the middle of the alley, where you will find the famous Hongyun Theater. .
It was almost midnight when Caiwei arrived. There were already many carriages parked in front of the theater. Looking at the signs on each carriage, they were all vehicles of noble families in the capital. They went up to Duke Liguo's Mansion and Prime Minister Ning. No matter how much money they have, ordinary people can't get into the first-class meritorious houses, down to the fifth or sixth rank of Beijing officials.
It seems that the competition between Liu Xi and Jing Shizi has caused quite a stir in the capital!
Caiwei got out of the car far away, walked through the carriage houses of various mansions, and entered the theater.
As soon as we entered the theater, the theater was dark, packed with seats, and people everywhere. Many dignitaries usually sit in boxes when they come here, but the number of boxes in the theater is limited. The few boxes are reserved for princes, princesses, or princes. The rest of the people were sitting in the scattered seats on the lower floor of the houses of first-class officials such as Duke Liguo's Mansion and Prime Minister Ning's Mansion, eating the food served by the waiter and whispering to each other.
Caiwei went up to the second floor and came to the private room she had reserved. After sitting down, she looked along the railing towards the stage. Liu Xi and Jing Shizi had not come on stage yet, and a lively song was being sung on the stage. The excerpt was a little benefit for everyone. The young boy on the stage sang very hard with a high-pitched falsetto, but the audience didn't buy it. Everyone was not in the mood to listen to his singing, and they all whispered and talked about the martial arts competition for a while. thing!
One is the eldest son of Duke Hou Men, and the other is the confidant of the Empress. The two people of extremely high status are facing each other, and they are competing in front of everyone. This kind of thing is indeed very gimmick, and it is enough to arouse everyone's attention. Gossip psychology.
Caiwei took out a plate of self-made chestnut cake, a plate of salted peanuts and a pot of fragrant scented tea from the space, and ate them leisurely. She had already arrived, so there was no need to worry about Liu Xi being in danger.
When the two of them duel later, if it is a fair duel, even if Liu Xi loses, she will only regret it and will never help him cheat; however, if Jing Shizi cheats, she will never sit idly by and ignore it. , I must help Liu Xi seek justice.
The young student on the stage left after singing for a short time. Amid everyone's eager anticipation, Liu Xi finally came on stage.
Today, he was wearing a blue short coat with sword sleeves, a pair of cotton trousers with fat legs and a closed top, and a pair of low-cut cloth shoes with soft soles. At first glance, he looked similar to a long-term worker from a landlord's family, even on his head. None of them wore crowns or hairpins. They only used a piece of cloth to wrap their hair in a bun. They looked extremely simple.
After taking the stage, he politely bowed his hands to the audience and said: "Everyone, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to witness this competition between me and Jing Shizi. I believe you have heard about it, Liu Xi and Jing Shizi There used to be some discord between them. Liu Xi didn't want to say more about who was who. You all know it well. Liu Xi challenged Jing Shizi today to prove to everyone that although Liu Xi is disabled, he is not weak and can be bullied. Liu Xi never uses his power to bully others, and he will never allow others to bully me for no reason..."
"Tsk, if you want to avoid being bullied, you should defeat me first!"
Jing Shizi walked out from the backstage with his hands behind his back. He wore a purple gold crown with hair and jewels on it, bright red sword sleeves with hundreds of butterflies and flowers on his body, and a palace ribbon with colorful silk knotted with flowers and long spikes. , wearing black satin foundation boots.
Although he looked handsome and handsome, he was very much in the way of fighting. However, Jing Shizi obviously didn't take Liu Xi seriously. He thought he could knock Liu Xi to the ground with just three punches and two kicks. As for what happened after defeating him. How to torture and humiliate, that's for the future...
