In the center of Quchifang, there are many shops and gambling houses, not only locals in the capital, but also foreign businessmen and foreigners. They include everything on the pavilion, cakes, fried chicken and barbecue and other food items, as well as sable fur, ink paper and inkstones, qinse guzheng, Linlang jade and other supplies, all of which are sold.

Luo Zhaoyun, Changsun Wuji and others did not want to buy items, so they went directly through the seller's venue and stayed at the cockfighting and gambling house for a while. They were not very happy and came directly to the Bai Opera Area.

There are many small areas separated here, and various strange and exaggerated performances are being performed, such as "spraying fire", "sky knife", "sliding rope", "sweating fog and carrying tripods", "fish and dragon spreading", "roots hanging on the belly to spin" and amazing acrobatics.

The audience around watched someone walking on a bamboo pole, swallowing a knife and spitting fire, and was extremely excited, and couldn't help but clap and applaud, cheering.

Changsun Wuji and Guanyin maid were not old, and were soon attracted and fascinated. Beside them, they followed two Changsun Mansion guards to protect themselves.

Even Guo Xiaoke, Ji Pingwu and the others were amazed at the sight of it. They had never seen such a complex and diverse drama.

In addition to the Central Plains varied artists, there are also musical and illusions from the Western Regions and India, which are even more terrifying. For example, using a sharp sharp knife to stand upside down on the ground, the performer approaches the tip of the knife, let the knife penetrate into the face from his eyes, or one person lying on the blade, and another person stands on his abdomen and plays the music. At the end of the song, the person below is safe and sound, which is a surprise.

Luo Zhaoyun accompanied the Changsun brothers and sisters to watch, and was speechless. He was not very interested in these things. People from the 21st century have never seen acrobatics, magic, film and television, and science fiction?

The brother and sister were so happy to see each other. After seeing the rambling trick, the performer turned around and bent back, supported his hands and feet on the ground, and used his mouth to pick up the things on the ground. This was flexibility. After everyone was amazed, they ran to the next venue to watch the narrow-minded show.

This scene is even more thrilling. The city is surrounded by swords, guns, swords and halberds. The performer is naked and quickly passes through the gaps of the sharp and sharp edges of the gun. He is not hurt at all. He plays three points of flexibility and seven points of courage. The audience around him is naturally frightened and screams, also called the Sword Sect Scene.

It took nearly an hour before Luo Zhaoyun took away Changsun Wuji and Guanyin maid, otherwise all the great time today would have been wasted on watching acrobatics.

Next, we arrived at the stage area and were performing many different styles of Taiwanese operas. For example, "Judge Play" is a kind of opera by Shi Ming of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms. It tells of an officer who was greedy and accepted bribes. After being captured, his enemies sent actors to perform satirical performances.

This kind of performance that is both singing and speaking, affectionate and scenic, became very popular as soon as it came out. Some famous singers and prostitutes were inspired to write operas and gradually evolved into dramas. Later, it was named after the protagonist of the first play after it was released, the first play, and the joining army, which was called "the joining army opera."

During the Great Sui Dynasty, opera had already begun to sprout and breed, but it had not yet reached its scale. This was because of the restrictions of the city yard. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the walls of the yard were broken and the tiles were prosperous, and opera became popular. At present, singing and dancing were still the main contents of entertainment projects.

The audience gathered here is mostly women, ordinary women in the capital, noble daughters, wealthy and so on, wearing short skirts, different colors and shiny branches, watching Taiwanese opera, looking at the show with relish.

In this era, the theories of Confucianism were still excluded, such as men and women who were not close to each other, and the three obediences and four virtues, which were even less obvious. The Sui Dynasty was a period of cultural inclusion. The integration of Central Plains culture with Hu culture, the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures, the convergence of Confucianism and Buddhism, the influence of metaphysics, etc., made the Confucianism set of norms and norms not yet highly praised by the Sui people.

So in the Sui Dynasty, women took to the streets, walked back and forth in the grand event, and gathered with men, which was not a shocking thing, but rather natural.

"Stop looking at these, go ahead and take a walk. It's too noisy here." Luo Zhaoyun urged.

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Okay, there is a place where nobles gather in front of him. Now it is close to Si Shi. I guess all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital can come."

Luo Zhaoyun thought to himself that there were many flower building competitions this afternoon, and the competition between the three major banks was a focus of the debate. Jie Shi would definitely attract the attention of everyone.

Going further forward, you have already walked to the corner of the city wall of Quchifang, connected to a Furong Lake outside the city. Since this lake is close to the southeast corner, a few years ago, the imperial court ordered that the suburbs of the mountain lake be enclosed into the city wall, and come here to play without having to leave the city.

The autumn wind blows, the willows sway, and the wide Furong Lake is like a huge and smooth mirror. Under the sunlight, it shines with light and ripples in smoke.

The spacious lake is covered with wavy waves, and the boats are cruising, and laughter is constantly coming out on the boat. Some noble children gather together to drink chrysanthemum wine and enjoy the scenery; some princesses and noble women laugh in the boat, playing the piano and writing poems, which is very lively.

Some scholars and noble sons, Lin, stood on the bow of the boat, looked at the flower boats that the daughters were riding on, and showed a look of longing.

When a woman's flower boat approached, some scholars immediately changed their bodies, looked at each other without squinting, and swayed their folding fan, pretending to be noble, chanting poems, and admiring themselves.

I saw an exquisite painting boat floating in the center of the lake, two floors above and below, about seven or eight meters high, with flying eaves and lanterns hanging high, which was very noble and grand.

On the second floor of the boat were surrounded by a group of noble women. One of them was about 40 years old, wearing a silk silk shirt with a big sleeve with a pair of collars. The collar was not very large, but the chest of frost and snow also showed a ravine, with a plump figure and elegant elegance. He was the eldest daughter of Princess Leping Yang Lihua and Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, who was once the queen of Northern Zhou.

The ones who were invited by Princess Leping were her daughter Yuwen Eying. Her sisters were also several princesses of Emperor Wen of Sui today, such as the Princess of Xiangguo, Princess Guangping, and Princess Lanling. The people they married were all talented among the nobles of Guanlong clans and had a complex relationship.

In addition, Yang Guang's wife, Concubine Xiao, also came, with two daughters, Princess Yang Caihuan of Nanyang and Princess Yang Caiyu.

It can be said that the identities of these women are the most noble women of the Great Sui Dynasty. When gathering on a boat, you can imagine that no one dares to get close to disturb the weight of this pleasure boat.

"The poem about chrysanthemums that my sister-in-law just wrote is a great work. We sigh that we are not as good as this glass of wine. We will toast my sister-in-law." Princess Guangping smiled and complimented. They were all Yang Guang's sisters, but according to the current situation, Yang Guang's ascendance to the throne is just around the corner. In the future, they will continue to be rich and not be suspicious and excluded, and they will definitely please Concubine Xiao.

"Don't be polite, let's drink this chrysanthemum wine together!" Concubine Xiao was gentle and elegant, without any airs, and suggested drinking together.

After drinking, Princess Lanling suddenly spoke: "Today is another Double Ninth Festival. I don't know if the scholars in the capital have any excellent works this year. I have been established in the Sui Dynasty for more than 20 years and entered a prosperous era. Literature should flourish. But in recent years, there seems to be not many people who can write any good works."

Princess Xiangguo said: "After that being said, I heard that a young general, who had just returned from the border recently, was a young man from the Luo family. He wrote poems on both sides, which were worthy of the past and became famous in the capital. If he came today, I really want to let him write poems in person and give me some appreciation and appreciation!"
