Chapter 34 second quarter

Duan Shizhang in the private room on the second floor heaved a sigh of relief, raised his hands and applauded continuously, and said to himself while applauding: "Miracle! Amazing! Miracle!" Duan Shizhang said, turned to look at Liu Yin, and said: " Liu Yin! Did you see that? Liu Yin..." Liu Yin had tears in her eyes, a smile on her face, and lightly clapped her hands. Duan Shizhang was taken aback by this expression, and quickly changed his words, "Liu Yin, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yin seemed to be crying and laughing, raised her finger to wipe the corner of her eyes, and said softly: "It's nothing, I didn't expect such a wonderful magic trick."

Duan Shizhang sat beside Liu Yin, and asked with concern: "Then why are you crying?" Liu Yin said: "I just think this story is very touching. That woman and Zhang Xian should have been childhood sweethearts, but the goshawk disrupted their marriage and they were never found again." Duan Shizhang chuckled, and said, "Liu Yin, it's fine if you like it. This is just a play, so there's no need to be so involved. It's just that Zhang Xian is really likable, and he actually uses magic to tell a story." Liu Yin said: "Master, thank you, I am really happy today, I haven't been this happy for a long time."

Duan Shizhang grabbed Liu Yin's hand and said sincerely: "Liu Yin, do you know that I will give up anything for you." Liu Yin slowly withdrew her hand and said, "Master, I know, let's watch the next two magic tricks first." Zhang Xian performed two more performances, namely invisibility and levitation. During the banquet, he even stepped down from the stage and played a few tricks of disappearing cards with the guests, which made everyone laugh. After the three magic performances, everyone was still unsatisfied, and Zhang Xian was still asked to return to the show for an additional performance. Zhang Xian very politely refused, saying that it is not easy to perform three consecutive magic shows. come back next time.

These people are not as competitive as the idlers in the overpass. Since Zhang Xian was recommended by Duan Shizhang for everyone to see, I should give Duan Shizhang some face and don't force it, so let it go. Duan Shizhang felt that Zhang Xian had earned a lot of face for himself, so he walked out of the private room, came to the stage, praised Zhang Xian greatly, and put down his words, asking everyone in the audience to join him in the future.Everyone already had this intention, and suddenly agreed. Duan Shizhang didn't want to stay for a long time, so he called everyone to leave, and he took Liu Yin and walked in the front.

Zhang Xian, Li Fengren, Li Yi, Li Jiao and others stood at the door to see them off with all the courtesy.Liu Yin walked past Zhang Xian, didn't even look at Zhang Xian, but said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, the magic is very exciting, I will come again next time." Zhang Xian smiled and said, "Thank you Madam for your appreciation." Duan Shizhang said: "Zhang Xian, I have booked the private room upstairs! If you have any embarrassing things, you can go to Huixian Restaurant to pass on the message to Butler Liu. You are such a strange person, which is rare in the world!"

Zhang Xian replied: "Master Duan has won the prize!" Duan Shizhang nodded to Zhang Xian, slightly approving, and left with Liu Yin. Everyone who came out gave Zhang Xian their thumbs up, full of praise, and Zhang Xian thanked them one by one with a smile.Not long after, all these distinguished guests boarded the car and drove away. The overpass and the Yueke Magic Hall were once again quiet. Butler Liu under Duan Shizhang didn't leave, but stayed at the end to take care of it. After praising Zhang Xian a few words, he left a large sum of money, which was regarded as the cost of renting out the room today and the private room on the second floor in the future.Zhang Xian insisted on giving half to Steward Liu, but Steward Liu was not polite, so he just accepted it and said, "Zhang Xian, do a good job, Master Duan and Mrs. Liu are very satisfied with you, this time you can be regarded as a nobleman named Master Duan." Zhang Xian, you are very likable, and I am willing to make friends with you. If you have any embarrassing things in the future, just come to me! Remember to take care of the Yueke Magic Hall and buy more people. It has become an instant hit, and soon all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital will come to watch magic tricks at your place! Don't make any mistakes!"

Zhang Xian thanked him repeatedly, and sent Steward Liu to the car to leave. As soon as Duan Shizhang and the others left, the Yueke Magic Hall announced its reopening, and the momentum was even stronger than before. Tickets for the Yueke Magic Hall were sold as expensive as gold paper, and it was still hard to find a ticket.The well-connected dignitaries in the capital sent people to book private rooms one after another, but it was not always possible to make a reservation.Zhang Xian was even more surprised. With such a good business, he reduced three games a day to two games a day, and canceled the one in the morning. For some reason.

Hate only hates that there is only one Zhang Xian in the world, only he can perform Zhang Xian's magic tricks, countless people speculate about Zhang Xian's magic secrets, but they are all far from the same, some people come to buy one of Zhang Xian's magic tricks with thousands of dollars , Zhang Xian declined all of them and never sold them. Some of the top theaters in the capital invited Zhang Xian to perform, and some were even willing to give up their shares and invite Zhang Xian to take part. Zhang Xian was not tempted. Only less than two hundred people were allowed in.No matter how the outside world guesses, invites, breaks through the threshold, and asks Zhang Xian to expand his scale, Zhang Xian lives in a simple place, and will not show his face easily, and few people even see him appearing on the street.Zhang Xian was not invited if he did not report or take pictures, so that even though many people knew that there was a magical man named Zhang Xian in Tianqiao, very few people knew what Zhang Xian looked like.

Does Zhang Xian really never go out?This is not true, Zhang Xian and Li Yi have their own way to avoid the crowd, that is, disguise, the two of them dress up, old or young, poor or rich, and the people who have seen Zhang Xian's appearance in the whole capital only cost thousands of dollars. Remember, so Zhang Xian and Li Yi went out in disguise, no one could see through. Zhang Xian and Li Yi went out almost every day. In addition to purchasing various items by themselves, they just wandered around places where foreigners gathered, bought some foreign language newspapers and books, and no one could explain why they did this.

Duan Shizhang brought Liu Yin back twice, and each time he came back satisfied, but the third time was just Liu Yin watching Zhang Xian's magic tricks by himself, followed by Butler Liu, who brought a lot of followers.After all, Duan Shizhang is a busy man, he is busy with other affairs, and he doesn't have much time to accompany Liu Yin, but he can't let Liu Yin go out, and he is not at ease when Liu Yin goes out by himself, so he sent many people to follow. It was to monitor Liu Yin. Just like the second and third wives who accompanied Duan Shizhang, Liu Steward was sitting in the private room with Liu Yin, and the stage was still performing warmly. According to today's playlist, it would take half an hour for Zhang Xian to perform magic tricks .

Holding a plate of oranges, Li Jiao walked in cautiously, and said softly, "Butler Liu, Mrs. Liu, excuse me." Steward Liu looked sideways and saw a plate of oranges, and said impatiently: "Is it the season to eat oranges now? Who asked you to bring them over? Take it!" Li Jiao quickly responded and was about to leave. Liu Yin didn't turn her head back, and said calmly: "Let it go, I like to eat oranges." Liu Yin likes to eat oranges since she was a child, but she never showed it in front of Duan Shizhang, and even Steward Liu didn't know it. Butler Liu didn't dare to say anything more, so he snorted to Li Jiao: "Put it down! Don't come in casually if you have nothing to do! By the way, how can you eat without peeling the skin? Go and serve the skin piece by piece." Liu Yin said: "Butler Liu, I'll just peel it off myself, don't embarrass this little girl." Butler Liu put on a smiling face and said, "Okay, okay!" Turning his head, he looked impatiently at Li Jiao again, "Put it down! Next time, remember better!" Li Jiao didn't dare to say more, she put the plate on the table, turned around and walked out the door quickly. Butler Liu smiled and said to Liu Yin: "Mrs. Liu, you are so blind, I really don't remember that you like oranges. How about I peel one for you." Liu Yin said coldly: "No need!" She glanced sideways at the plate, there were five oranges on the plate, three on the bottom and two on the top, the arrangement was a bit weird, Liu Yin was slightly shocked, He stretched out his hand and picked up the bottom orange, put it in front of him, then took out his handkerchief to cover the orange, and peeled it carefully. Liu Yin glanced at Liu Butler from the corner of her eye, who had been staring at her peeling oranges, Liu Yin snorted, and turned sideways, but at this moment, Liu Yin quickly pulled out a roll from the orange into a small roll. With a flick of his finger, he hid the note in the handkerchief.No matter how good the eyesight of Steward Liu is, it is no match for Liu Yin's tricks like a magician. Everyone in Duan Shizhang's house knew that Liu Yin knew magic tricks, but no one would have thought that there was a lot to be said for this seemingly random orange. Liu Yin ate the orange petal by petal, and with the other hand, she had already unfolded the note, and quickly read the words on the note. Liu Yin finished eating the oranges slowly, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and stood up gracefully. Butler Liu was quite nervous, and immediately asked, "Mrs. Liu, what's the matter?" Liu Yin said coldly: "Do I have to tell you?" She said and walked out of the house. Butler Liu smirked repeatedly and said no, but he never left Liu Yin, and followed Liu Yin out of the private room. Liu Yin walked to one side, butler Liu followed with two bodyguards guarding the door, looking at the direction Liu Yin was going, butler Liu knew in his heart that the end of that direction was dedicated to the dignitaries on the second floor. Prepared washroom. Liu Yin walked to the door of the women's toilet, looked back, and said, "Do you want to follow?" Butler Liu hurriedly said, "Don't dare! Don't dare!" Liu Yin pushed open the door of the bathroom, walked in, and tightened the latch with her backhand.The restroom is specially prepared for female guests. It is clean and elegant, and there is no one there. Liu Yin quickly looked left and right, and soon her eyes fell on a picture of a Tang Dynasty lady. Liu Yin walked over, knelt down and touched the edge of the wooden table next to the painting, and touched a fingernail-sized mechanism , embedded in the wall, if you don't look down carefully, it's hard to find. Liu Yin understood, and twisted this small mechanism with her nails, three from left and three from right, with a small crack, a gap opened in the wall under the entire painting of ladies, it was a secret door.The design of this secret door is very ingenious, the edges are covered with wooden strips on the left, right, top, bottom, so no matter whether it is opened or closed, no flaws can be seen.
