Chapter 326 An old friend visits
Seeing the other person staring at her, Jiang Yunxi smiled slightly as a greeting, but the other person turned around and walked into the room, closing the door directly.
Zhan Beiyuan frowned. He felt that the other party was a little weird.
"Please come in, both of you." The servant gestured for them to leave.
"Who was that actor just now?" Jiang Yunxi couldn't help but ask, a little curious.
"She is Miss Li Luo, a very famous actress in our Orchid Garden." The servant had a proud expression on his face when he said this.
Jiang Yunxi smiled, "No wonder she looks so special."
"Every time she performs, the show is always packed and she is especially popular with customers. You'd better hurry up and take your seats, otherwise there will be no seats left in a while." The servant reminded them.
"We booked the best private room on the second floor." Jiang Yunxi smiled, since Zhan Luochen was paying for it anyway.
"So you are a distinguished guest." The servant smiled. The best private room is the most expensive.
Jiang Yunxi asked as they walked, "How long has your orchid garden been open? It looks like it's been around for quite a while."
"It's been several decades. I'm not sure exactly when it opened. I've only been here for a few years." The servant said with a smile.
"Can you call your manager over? We want to find out something." Jiang Yunxi said as he took out a silver ingot and gave it to the other party.
The servant looked at the large ingot of silver, took it with a smile, took them to the hall in the front yard, and then asked the steward to come over.
A moment.
A middle-aged man in his fifties walked in.
"I wonder what you two want to know?" Steward Tao looked at them with a smile. He would certainly not neglect the guests who had booked the best private room.
Judging from their extraordinary nobility, they are definitely not from ordinary wealthy families. They are from the capital, so they must be children of powerful people.
"When did Lanyuan open? It's decorated very well and makes people feel comfortable as soon as they enter. There is no theater like it in the capital." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
"It was opened about forty years ago. I don't remember the exact year. The theaters in Beijing should be better than ours." Manager Tao said with a smile.
They really came from the capital.
"I wonder if we can meet your boss. We want to ask him some questions." Jiang Yunxi said directly.
"I'm sorry, the boss doesn't see guests, and we don't see them usually. I've been the one taking care of the Orchid Garden, and people who don't know me think I'm the boss of the Orchid Garden." Manager Tao said helplessly.
"Your boss doesn't care about the business here and doesn't ask about the money?" Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly. This seems like he is completely a hands-off boss.
"The boss is very good to us. He pays us high wages and gives us monthly bonuses. We keep a portion of the money we earn for living expenses and donate the rest," said Manager Tao.
Jiang Yunxi's face was full of surprise. This was something she had not expected. Now it seemed that the people who opened the Orchid Garden were not doing it for the purpose of making money, so why would they copy the same Pear Garden?
"By the way, is that young actress named Li Luo from Quanzhou?"
"She fainted at the gate of the Orchid Garden, and we brought her in. Seeing how lonely she was, I asked her to stay as a maid in the Orchid Garden. I didn't expect she had a good voice, and she became an entertainer there. She worked hard and quickly became famous."
Manager Tao said with a smile that Li Luo had made a lot of money for Lanyuan.
"The Orchid Garden has been open for so long. Have the first batch of actors left the Orchid Garden?" Jiang Yunxi asked after thinking of something.
"Actors thrive when they are young, but most of them are no longer capable when they get older. The actors here have been replaced batch after batch." Manager Tao nodded.
"Where did they learn to sing opera?"
"I don't know who the original actors were, but they kept recruiting apprentices. There were always a few talented ones in each batch, and each generation taught the next, so there was never a shortage of actors. Quanzhou also had other places to learn opera."
Jiang Yunxi asked, "Do you have any records of famous actors here? Could you let us see them?"
"What are you looking at this for?" Manager Tao frowned.
"We plan to open a theater in the capital and want to invite some veteran actors to help us teach a group of actors." Jiang Yunxi made up an excuse.
"Come with me." Manager Tao knew that they were a powerful family and might really want to open a famous theater in the capital, so they came to Quanzhou on purpose.
Orchid Garden is very popular now.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan followed each other into a room, where they saw many portraits hanging on the wall. They were all dressed as actors, each with their own characteristics.
"They are all very famous actors in Lanyuan. Those on this wall are no longer in Lanyuan. Some of them are in Quanzhou, and no one knows where some of them have gone." Manager Tao patiently introduced them.
Jiang Yunxi walked forward and looked carefully. They were the first group of popular actors after the opening of Lan Garden, both male and female. She looked carefully and did not see Meng Fusheng and Yu Shuanghua.
Because of the Time Reversal Formation, she knew what they looked like and had seen them in costumes and makeup.
Could it be that she guessed wrong, and Lanyuan had nothing to do with Meng Fusheng and Yu Shuanghua, and that the boss had been to the Liyuan before and copied one when he learned that it had burned down?
But if you have not been there for a long time, how could you be so familiar with its construction?
Manager Tao told them about a few veteran actors in Quanzhou and asked them to invite them.
Suddenly, the sound of musical instruments was heard outside.
"The show is about to start, you should go quickly, Miss Li Luo's performance is very exciting." Manager Tao reminded.
"Thank you." Jiang Yunxi said and left with Zhan Beiyuan.
Left the house.
"There is neither Meng Fusheng nor Yu Shuanghua in the first row of actors," said Zhan Beiyuan.
"We don't have Meng Fusheng's birth date, otherwise we could calculate whether he is still alive. We will go to the Dai family to find Yu Shuanghua later." Jiang Yunxi said.
I just don't know if I can find anything from Yu Shuanghua.
When the two arrived at the private room, the opera had just begun. The first person to come out was Li Luo, who was wearing a pink costume. Her face was heavily made up, making it difficult to see her features. Only her eyes were clear.
Jiang Yunxi watched the other person's performance intently, but she was not very interested in opera, and she became restless after sitting for a while.
"Don't want to watch anymore?" Zhan Beiyuan saw her moving out of the corner of his eye.
"How about we go to Dai's house?" Jiang Yunxi said in a low voice.
"good."
Jiang Yunxi instructed Qianheng to go back to the inn directly after watching the show. She and Zhan Beiyuan would go to the Dai family and go back directly from there later.
The Dai family was not far from Lanyuan. The two soon saw a magnificent mansion. It seemed that the Dai family was also a wealthy family in Quanzhou.
"Who are you looking for?" the gatekeeper asked them.
"Madam Dai Yu Shuanghua." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
"The old lady is resting now. Who are you? Can we make an appointment in advance?" The servant looked at them and saw that they seemed to be from a wealthy family, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything cold or sarcastic.
"Since she has rested, we will come again tomorrow morning. Please tell the old lady tomorrow morning that an old friend from Jiangzhou Pear Garden is visiting." Jiang Yunxi smiled slightly.
