Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 553 Eavesdropping like this, the effect is better

  In a daze, Zhao Pan'er didn't know how he got back to Osmanthus Alley, Gu Qianfan's figure covered in blood kept appearing in his head, and he didn't even know what Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi were chattering in his ears.

  Sun Sanniang looked at Zhao Paner, whose face was bloodless and tears were shining, and knew that something serious must have happened. She grabbed Ge Zhaodi who was about to chase into the room, and shook her head gently at her, telling her to go to rest first.

  After Ge Zhaodi left, Sun Sanniang stopped outside the door and said softly, "Pan'er, are you okay? Would you like something to eat?"

   "I'm fine, just a little tired."

  Zhao Pan'er's dull voice came through the door.

   "Then go to bed early, call me if you need anything." Sun Sanniang said softly.

   There was a response from the room, but there was no more movement.

The last time I saw Zhao Pan'er like this was when Ouyang Xu regretted her marriage, Sun Sanniang noticed that Zhao Pan'er hadn't slept all night, and early the next morning, pretending nothing happened, she rolled up the basket and half-hidden her face, and chased after her to dissuade her: "Pan'er! You didn't care about anyone last night, why don't you go to the teahouse today?"

  Zhao Paner shook her head, trying to escape the panic in her heart with busyness, and said calmly: "It's okay, even if the sky falls, the business will continue to be done."

  Sun Sanniang was about to say something worryingly, but Ge Zhaodi chased after her, and said, "But it's useless even if Sister Pan'er goes to the teahouse~ Sister Yinzhang said that she has something to do today, so she won't go to the teahouse to play the pipa."

"The Yinzhang is in full swing. In recent days, the tea guests have all come for her pipa. How can she refuse to go?" Wrinkled, subconsciously reprimanded, and said with a calm face: "Forget it, let her go."

  Sun Sanniang went out to buy ice yesterday, and what happened in the teahouse can only be learned from Ge Zhaodi. She has been sowing discord on weekdays, and Sun Sanniang's grudge against Song Yinzhang has been deepening.

   "Don't say that, if you don't play the pipa in Yinzhang, let's not do business, shall we?" Sun Sanniang helped, but her tone showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

  However. This is the reality.

  In the scorching summer, the sun is scorching hot, there is no ice cream to cool down, and even Mrs. Song did not come here because of her 'unwell body'. Who is willing to pay ten times the price of other teahouses to stay here for a sauna?

Old acquaintances like Mr. Zhuoshi and Yuan Tuntian were not quite willing to give up. They wanted to wait a little longer for a smoothie, but Gu Qianfan was injured last night. The Tibetan ice bought by Du Changfeng's contacts has long been used up.

   Mr. Zhuoshi, who was sweating through his clothes, couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and said, "No, it's so hot, Mrs. Song is not here, and I don't know when Bing will come. I'd better go to Tongfu Teahouse to listen to books."

   "Go together, go together."

  Yuan Tuntian nodded in agreement, took out the copper coins and put them on the table to leave, followed by the few remaining tea drinkers.

Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi had to make amends and send each other off. After a while, the tea house that was crowded with customers inside and out became empty and deserted. Even if some new customers came here, they wanted to have a cup of tea when they asked Song Yinzhang if he was not there. Take a break and go, and run away when you see the sky-high price menu.

"Sister Yinzhang, what's the matter? Isn't it that Miss Pan'er asked her to perform an extra performance yesterday? Why don't you come today if you can't say it?" Ge Zhaodi looked at the empty tea house, and pouted to call Sun Sanniang Report.

   Knowing that Song Yinzhang relied on her identity, Zhao Paner begged her for a long time before she agreed to perform yesterday's extra performance. Sun Sanniang's face became more and more ugly, and she reluctantly said, "Maybe she really has something to do."

  On the other side, Tongfu Tea House.

  Song Yinzhang returned to Jiaofang yesterday and started to talk softly. Zhang Haohao didn't expect this girl to be so difficult, so in desperation, he agreed to go out together the next day.

  Chi Yanei and Zhang Haohao liked each other at first, but they couldn't bear to apologize to each other.

  Received a message from Song Yinzhang, Zhou Ji asked the staff to vacate two adjacent elegant rooms, and asked someone to go to Chi's house to invite Chi Yanei to come and listen to the opera, which was regarded as a gift of thanking the ice cube.

  In order to be sure, Zhou Ji also asked Si Teng to pluck two hairs and melt them into the sandalwood. If these two people really belong to the kind of character that knows they are wrong, but refuses to admit it.

  Even if it is just using a tiny bit of undetectable power of the red umbrella, it can make the two of them no longer so "hard-headed" and guide them to confide in each other.

  Pretending to wander around the teahouse casually, the coolness of the morning had already dissipated as the sun rose, and it was getting hotter and hotter, so Song Yinzhang suggested going to the teahouse to sit.

  Hearing that Tongfu Tea House has ice cream and cold drinks, Zhang Haohao didn't think much about it, and urged Song Yinzhang to leave as soon as possible.

   "It seems like it's the first time Miss Haohao has come here?"

  The teahouse is not far away, and the two arrived quickly.

  Song Yinzhang helped Zhang Haohao out of the carriage, and while introducing the general situation of the teahouse to her, he looked for Zhou Ji's figure.

   "Hey~ This is Tongfu Tea House. I often hear it from customers, and it's really lively." Zhang Haohao looked at the stage in the teahouse with novelty, and teased: "Remember that Yinzhang seems to be the boss here too?"

"This teahouse belongs to Mrs. Zhou's son Si Teng and Xiao Kui. I just help arrange music for the play and guide the orchestra." Song Yinzhang quickly explained, looking upstairs from the corner of his eye along the stairs, and saw a private room The door was half closed, and Zhou Ji stepped out of it and nodded to her.

  Song Yinzhang came back to his senses, led Zhang Haohao to the elegant room prepared in advance, and said, "Hao Hao, please sit down first, I will ask the buddy to bring over some ice cubes and smoothies."

Taking advantage of the interval between ordering the clerk, Song Yinzhang sneaked into the next room, half-closed the door and looked around the corridor to make sure that Zhang Haohao didn't find anything unusual, then closed the door softly, like an underground joint, and lowered his voice. Put the line to Zhou Ji's ear, and whispered: "How is Chi Ya Nei?"

The warm breath sprayed to the ear, bringing the slightest itch to the heartstrings. Zhou Ji turned his head to avoid it, took half a step back calmly, and smiled, "I have already sent someone to invite him. The time is almost here."

  Song Yinzhang felt relieved.

Going out for too long will easily cause Zhang Haohao to be suspicious. Song Yinzhang and Zhou Ji briefly compared the plans, led the guy who brought ice cubes and smoothie tea back to Zhang Haohao's room, approached the door, and tidied up his clothes and makeup with some guilt Fat, took a deep breath, walked in with a smile.

  The stage's impromptu performance today drew applause from all the halls, completely suppressing the voice of the two girls in the next room.

  The content of the play is about a pair of idiotic men and women who obviously like each other, but because they don't want to reveal it, they are sad.

   After a while, Zhou Ji glanced over the window, walked slowly, glanced down, and saw Chi Yanei's figure coming down from the carriage.

   Chi Ya Nei followed the staff to the elegant room where Zhou Ji was located. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Ji pointed to the stage, raised his hand to stop him, and signaled him to take a seat first.

  Chi Yanei turned around to look at the troupe who were performing, and suddenly understood, sat down at the position Zhou Ji pointed to, leaned his back against the wall, and looked downstairs.

  This play is coming to an end, he came late, at the beginning he didn't know the story, but after listening to it for a while, he gradually immersed himself in it, and when he thought of Zhang Haohao again, he felt mixed feelings and felt extremely uncomfortable.

   ‘钟~’

  The final sound of the gong ended, and after a burst of applause, the teahouse returned to a moment of silence.

   At this moment, Chi Yanei suddenly heard someone talking next door.

  One of them seems to be Zhang Haohao.

  Chi Yanei turned around in disbelief and looked at the wall next to him. Hearing Zhang Haohao's crying voice, he subconsciously prepared to get up and go to the next door to have a look. Halfway through standing up, he heard Song Yinzhang asking her if she didn't regret it.

  It would be a lie to say that she has no regrets. Zhang Haohao wanted to pretend to be free and easy, saying that a good horse would never turn back, but unfortunately these words can only be deceived by herself. When talking with her little sister, she still admitted her mistake.

   "Chi Pan bought a mynah specially to make me happy that day, and he waited for me in the pavilion for most of the night. I shouldn't take my anger out on him~ We are too clumsy in terms of emotions"

   "You also know that you are wrong." Chi Yanei curled his lips in grievance, tears falling down patter.

   "Chi Yanei, did you say anything?" Zhou Jifang turned his head to glance as if he didn't hear Chi Yanei's mumbling clearly, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

   "It's nothing, nothing. I just cried while listening to the play." Chi Yanei quickly wiped away tears, and asked, "By the way, Master, did Zhang Haohao also come to the teahouse?"

   "Zhang Haohao? I really didn't notice, why did you suddenly ask her?"

   Chi Ya Nei hesitated, dealt with Zhou Ji's rhetorical question, and listened to the new storytelling for a while, focusing all his attention on the opposite side of the wall.

The movement of storytelling is much smaller than the soundtrack and singing. Chi Yanei was afraid of being discovered by the neighbors, so he tried his best to keep quiet. Hearing Zhang Haohao and Song Yinzhang's heart-to-heart talk, most of Chi Yanei's grievances and dissatisfaction in the past two days have disappeared. .

  Song Yinzhang comforted Zhang Haohao with soft words, and prepared to leave with her.

Going down the stairs on the right side, Song Yinzhang deliberately avoided the elegant room next door. When he reached the hall, he seemed to remember something urgent about the theater troupe, and said helplessly, "Good lady, can you go back to the elegant room and wait for me for a while? I have to go Go to the backstage of the troupe to deal with some things, and we will go back together later."

   "It's okay, you can go to work first." Zhang Haohao's mood was much calmer, and he smiled at her in a gentle tone.

   "Then I'll ask the guy to take you back. It's the room just now. Miss Hao, do you know where it is?"

   "Don't bother buddy, I know."

  Zhang Haohao went up the stairs on the left, passed several elegant rooms, and suddenly heard the voice of Chi Yanei from the elegant room in front.

Zhou Ji took advantage of the fact that Chi Yanei had just asked about "Zhang Haohao", and brought the topic to her after a few chats. When Zhang Haohao heard that Chi Yanei was crying just now, he couldn't help holding his chest, turned around and leaned against the door, stopped.

   "Although there is a mistake, it's my fault for speaking too seriously. I know she cares, but I still use Song Yinzhang to provoke her and have a mynah. I really didn't expect her to be so angry. I actually wanted to coax her."

   Chi Yanei stopped talking while talking, and he saw a person standing outside the door, a delicate and pretty woman.

   "You, you. Aren't you gone?!"

   "Then what, I have something else to talk about~" Zhou Ji coughed lightly, stood up, nodded slightly to Chi Yanei and Zhang Haohao, and stepped out of the elegant room.

  Just two steps away, Zhou Ji turned around to look at Zhang Haohao who had entered the room, and suddenly noticed a palm stretched out from the side, pulling his cuff and dragging him into the private room next door.

"Miss Yinzhang, what are you doing?" Zhou Ji waved his sleeves, looking helplessly and funny at Song Yinzhang, who was eavesdropping by the wall, "Why did that weak, cowardly little girl fall in love with her before?" Are you listening to someone's corner?"

   "That's not the case~" Song Yinzhang straightened up a little embarrassed, and racked his brains to argue, "I'm worried that if the Chi Yamen renege on the bill, what should I do if I don't sell half-hidden ice cubes?"

   "What does this have to do with your eavesdropping?" Zhou Ji directly punctured her logical loophole, went to the table, took off the tea cover, and handed the tea bowl to Song Yinzhang, "Use this."

   Song Yinzhang took the tea bowl showing doubts, Zhou Ji shook his head, took another tea bowl and went to the wall, put the mouth of the bowl on the wall, and listened to it.

   "Eavesdropping like this is better."

   "The young master is not lying to me, is he?"

  Song Yinzhang learned how to turn the tea bowl upside down, put his ear to the bottom of the bowl suspiciously, and looked up at Zhou Ji.

   Zhou Ji raised the corners of his mouth, and his warm and clear eyes showed a slight smile, "How is it? Didn't I lie to you?"

  Song Yinzhang discovered that she and Zhou Ji were lying face to face on the wall, staring at each other within a few feet of each other.

  For a while, I only heard my heartbeat gradually speeding up, and a blush appeared on my cheeks.

  Zhou Ji saw that Song Yinzhang ran away from the wall like a frightened little white rabbit, and even the tea bowl fell from his hand.

  Zhou Ji reached out to catch the teacup that had fallen into the air, and took down his own teacup. Song Yinzhang, who had reacted, quickly apologized: "Ah~ I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Zhou Ji smiled indifferently, put two tea bowls on the table, and said with a smile: "Are you scared? In fact, this is neither a trick nor a spell, but relies on the principle of sound diffusion to make the person next door talk The sound is concentrated and amplified, so you don’t want to listen to it?”

"I'm not..." Song Yinzhang subconsciously wanted to explain that he wasn't scared by the amplified voice, but he stopped when he opened his mouth. Come on, Chi Ya Nei has no reason to prohibit the ice shop from selling ice cubes to half-covered faces."

"That's good."

  Zhou Ji smiled and said, "When you bet yesterday, I was by the side. If this guy dares to renege, I will put the ball in the most lively place in the capital and put him in the goal."

   "Pfft~" Song Yinzhang covered his mouth with a chuckle, tilted his head and said, "Then thank Mr. Zhou in advance~"

   (Thank you for the 100 coin reward from 'I eat iced oranges'.)

   (Thanks for the 8,000 coin reward from ‘Mo Shi | Mo Wang’.)
