Chapter 330 Baihua Pavilion

The old lady was startled and quickly looked towards the long corridor by the lake.

Everyone also looked in the direction of the sound.

Then the sound of opera music came from the speakers in all directions.

Not many young people like to listen to opera, and they don’t know much about it. They all thought it was a program prepared by the Gu family.

But most of the older men and women knew it.

Isn’t this music the prelude of the opera "Baihua Pavilion"?

And this singing style, although there is only one sound, but the sound is silky and smooth. People who listen to opera for many years know that this person has a good foundation. It’s a bit like Teacher Lan Xi.

But, how is this possible?

The fact that Old Lady Gu is a fan of Peking Opera is known by many people in the celebrity circle, and her favorite is Teacher Lan Xi’s singing style.

In fact, it’s not just Old Lady Gu. There are many fans of Teacher Lan Xi in the celebrity circle of Jiangcheng.

But Teacher Lan Xi has never opened his voice in any occasion since he bid farewell to the stage many years ago.

No matter how much money is paid, or if he asks his relatives and friends to say it, Teacher Lan Xi has never made an exception for anyone.

When he sang, even though he had not yet become a famous actor, he never missed a show with seven or eight shows a day, and the ticket price was so low that it was not as good as a pack of cigarettes; when he did not sing, he would not give in even if the appearance fee was sky-high.

It was precisely because of this unyielding character that everyone felt that Teacher Lan Xi had the character of a famous actor, and the more they respected him.

So although everyone felt that it was similar, they still felt that it could not be Teacher Lan Xi.

So what if it was the Jiangcheng Gu family? Teacher Lan Xi was a national first-class actor with both virtue and art. She was paid by the government and did not need to look at anyone's face.

As the music progressed, two rows of actors dressed as maids appeared from the corridor covered by green shades, followed by an actor wearing a female python robe, a phoenix crown on her head, delicate makeup, and a smile on her lips.

The maids walked out slowly with lotus steps, and after leaving the corridor, they dispersed on both sides in an outward-facing eight-character formation, and finally stood in a row on the corridor, holding the person dressed as the imperial concubine in the middle.

The imperial concubine held a folding fan in her right hand and danced with her sleeves in her left hand. Accompanied by the music, she raised her eyes and looked at everyone.

His eyes were full of autumn water and his figure was graceful. Just a few movements caused a burst of exclamations from the audience.

When she opened her mouth again, the audience was shocked.

It really is Teacher Lan Xi!

Who invited her? Such a big name?

Everyone thought that the event would fall on the two daughters-in-law of the Gu family.

The birthday banquet was organized by the two of them, so this show should also be arranged by one of them.

Mrs. Gu likes Teacher Lan Xi very much. If she can invite Teacher Lan Xi, the old lady must give her a good reward?

I just don’t know who is so capable.

Zhong Meilan watched the performance with a tense face, and her eyes wanted to kick Teacher Lan Xi into the lake.

Mrs. Chen and Teacher Lan Xi’s wife were classmates. In order to invite Teacher Lan Xi, Zhong Meilan spent a lot of money to ask Mrs. Chen to get in touch with Teacher Lan Xi’s wife.

After a few visits, they became more familiar with each other.

Mrs. Chen took the opportunity to ask Teacher Lan Xi to come and celebrate the old lady's birthday, but Mrs. Lan refused as soon as she heard it.

When Teacher Lan Xi bid farewell to the stage, it was because of years of fatigue and poor health, and his wife urged him to retire early.

In order to fulfill his promise, Teacher Lan Xi did not perform on stage anymore.

She couldn't break this precedent herself.

Zhong Meilan was furious when she heard it. It wasted so much time. Why didn't she say it earlier?

But then she thought, Song Qingyun also asked Mrs. Lan. Mrs. Lan couldn't agree to Song Qingyun to offend her, right?

Thinking of this, she felt more balanced.

Anyway, no one could invite him, so how could they stand out at that time? It all depends on their own abilities.

In the end, who the hell could have thought that Lan Xi would come!

She looked at Mrs. Chen with a gloomy face.

Mrs. Chen hadn't done the job, and she had a hard time speaking. Her face wasn't looking good at the moment, but she still comforted her, "Sister Lan, Song Qingyun definitely didn't invite Teacher Lan Xi. Mrs. Lan doesn't need to give me, her old classmate, face because of her. We had a very good relationship when we were in school."

"If she didn't invite her, then who did?" Zhong Meilan said unhappily, "You can't even handle a small matter!"

Mrs. Chen almost vomited blood.

What the hell is a small matter?

If you have the ability, go and invite her?

She left the job to others, and she still complained when it didn't get done?

Mrs. Chen only dared to complain in her heart. She still had to rely on Zhong Meilan in many places, so she lowered her eyes to suppress the dissatisfaction in her eyes, and whispered, "I won't do it next time."

Zhong Meilan kept her face tense and didn't say anything.

Song Qingyun's brows were still furrowed.

Gu Jingran asked, "Mom, how did you invite someone here?"

"I didn't invite them," Song Qingyun whispered, "I was turned away by Mrs. Lan, and I didn't have the chance to meet Teacher Lan Xi."

Gu Jingran was surprised, "If it wasn't you, then who else could it be?"

The eldest aunt's face was already pulled into a donkey's face. If she had invited them, she would definitely not have such an expression.

Song Qingyun didn't say anything.

She was also very curious, who was so big that she actually invited Lan Xi.

Everyone was guessing who was so big, only the old lady was very happy to listen to Teacher Lan Xi's live version of "Baihua Pavilion", which fulfilled her dream for many years.

After the song was over, Teacher Lan Xi, with the help of her assistant, Tang Xiaoxiao and others, took off her heavy headdress and makeup, and came to the old lady in plain clothes accompanied by everyone.

"Mrs. Gu, happy birthday," he said, taking a small gift box from the assistant and handing it to the old lady, "May you be healthy and healthy, year after year."

Compared to the female singing voice just now, Teacher Lan Xi's voice is a somewhat gentle male voice, which sounds very comfortable.

And he really has no airs of a master of Chinese opera. Without makeup, he is just a middle-aged man with a delicate appearance, and his behavior makes people feel very comfortable.

The old lady was very happy. Her favorite Peking Opera teacher sang at her birthday party and gave her a gift. Her eyes were so curved that she couldn't count the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was too much like a little fan who succeeded in chasing stars. She pulled Teacher Lan Xi to ask about everything and kept feeding her food.

Mrs. Li just listened to so much discussion and had already determined that this person was invited by Zhong Meilan. She immediately went forward to flatter, "Teacher Lan Xi was moved by Mrs. Gu's filial piety, so she agreed to sing on stage. Old lady, you are so blessed to have a daughter-in-law like Mrs. Gu."

Zhong Meilan's eyes twitched.

Since Mrs. Chen started talking, everyone thought that it was really Zhong Meilan who invited her.

Mrs. Li and Zhong Meilan have a good relationship, so what she said can't be wrong, so everyone started to praise her.

Zhong Meilan's expression was strange, neither yes nor no.

Tang Xiaoxiao just followed Lan Xi here, and when she heard this group of flatterers, she couldn't help but say, "Teacher Lan Xi was invited by my Ah Xing, who cares about her business!"
