Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

Chapter 21 Unexpected invitation

At noon, Harvey finished writing “The Earl of Monte Cristo” and was ready to enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea time. Shirley, the only maid in the mansion, came over and told him that there was a visitor.

Harvey felt surprised when he saw the visitor. The visitor was not someone he knew, or should be said to be a friend of Harvey Adrian, a young man who was also born in a noble family, Jared Evan, he Wearing a black suit with the latest style and a high hat, when he saw Harvey, his handsome face was full of joy: “Oh my God, I almost thought you were caught by Mrs. Mary’s husband and thrown into the river, you know How long hasn’t I seen you?”

Mrs. Mary is the wife of a wealthy businessman. She was well-known in the social world when she was flourishing. She was a well-known socialite. However, she married an old man who was half a century older than herself. She and Harvey Adrian are in a romantic relationship, but if Jared doesn’t mention the name, Harvey will almost forget that he still has such a romantic experience.

Harvey does not intend to inherit the complicated interpersonal relationships of the original body. He is not too lazy when his nominal friend comes to the door. He smiled and shook his head and said, “This time is relatively busy and it is not convenient to participate in those social activities.”

Compared to hypocritical social activities, Harvey prefers to be alone. It would be more perfect if he had a computer.

Jared was taken aback, took off his black top hat and looked at Harvey up and down, and said with a doubtful tone: “Harvey, it always feels like you have changed a lot, what happened?”

The current Harvey is much better than the original owner’s decadence and debauchery, and he is not sure if it is due to the increased intelligence of the attribute panel. The temperament of his eyes has undergone earth-shaking changes, and his deep eyes make it difficult to guess that he is there. What to think.

——It has changed. The one standing in front of you is basically another person.

Harvey said silently in his heart, intending to fool this Harvey Adrian’s friend, but he saw Jared take out two papers from his pocket and said triumphantly: “Don’t talk about this, my dear My friend, I got a ticket for the Brenda Theatre Company that is touring across the country. This is a VIP seat that can only be bought for two hundred balens, or the one with a price but no market. Are you interested in seeing it together?”

The Evan family is the owner of the largest opera house in El Roy.

“Oh? You are not interested in drama.” Harvey asked. As a member of the family who manages the opera house, Harvey often hears from him complaining that drama or opera is too boring.

Jared shook his head and said mysteriously: “Everything has accidents. Besides, the performances of the Brenda Theatre Company will not be so boring. I heard people say that there are even magicians in the theatre company to serve them, even if the drama is very Boring, I believe there are other reasons to watch this drama. Tomorrow is the day when the Brenda Theatre Company will perform. Do you know how many nobles are on the reserved guest list? I think those gentle and beautiful ladies will definitely not give up This opportunity to show your charm.”

Harvey secretly said that, indeed, drama is also part of the current cultural trend. It is sought after by young aristocrats, and larger theater troupes can become popular topics in social circles. Harvey and Jared never missed such an opportunity before. They can see beautifully dressed ladies, and if they are lucky, they can hook up one or two.

He is a little interested in this performance. Firstly, he has little memory of this world drama. Secondly, the Brenda Theatre Company is one of the well-known theater companies in the country. The most commendable thing is that he uses magic props to assist in the performance. , It is said that there is a magician to serve them.

Since it was invited by Jared, Harvey agreed to visit the world’s theater performance if the tickets were free.

After Jared gave Harvey a ticket, the two chatted for a while. When they learned that Harvey was writing a novel, Jared was surprised that he could put an egg in his mouth and repeatedly said that he would go to watch ” “The Count of Monte Cristo”, in fact, like Harvey Adrian, he is a non-reading type.

······

The next night, Harvey put on formal clothes for a long time, a black dress and white shirt, and Shirley’s hair was combed. After some sorting, the whole person looked vigorous and calm as a young man.

The Avon Opera House is located in a lively street in El Roy. It is a huge Roman-style building about three stories high. The appearance is majestic and solemn. You can see the spacious balcony on the second floor from downstairs. Huge glass doors and windows are a leisure place for VIPs. You can also see more than a dozen stone sculptures of the same size on the eaves of the opera house.

Entering the interior of the opera house, the lights are bright and the combination of the cross arches of the dome, the cylindrical arches, and the vaults creates the illusion of a more complex and spacious interior space, as if you have come to the kingdom of giants, you can still feel open inside the building.

Harvey was already overcrowded when he came here. The road outside was only the sound of carriages and horses. The dressed lady got out of the car with the help of the gentleman. The jade hand in lace gloves played with a folding fan, and the wonderful eyes rushed to attract the attention of others. Harvey frowned, not used to such a lively scene, the different perfumes in the air were mixed, sweet and greasy, and fragrant and disgusting.

Covering his nose and squeezing in, he found his VIP seat according to the instructions of the staff. After pushing the door, he saw that Jared was standing on the balcony looking at the crowds below with relish. Of course, his eyes were more focused. Put it on the half-exposed snow white of those ladies’ chests. The interior decoration of the VIP seats is luxurious and stylish. The balcony faces the performance stage. There are crimson curtains on the sides of the balcony. If you don’t want to watch the show, you can pull down the rope to cover the interior of the VIP seats According to Harvey I know, many nobles like to pull down these curtains during theatrical performances to do some unknown activities.

There is also a sofa in the VIP room, the table top is covered with fruits and three binoculars, guests can use these binoculars to watch the drama if they need it. The actual telescope is basically an indispensable prop for watching dramas in this era. Even the average audience downstairs has most of them wearing telescopes, especially the ladies in costumes. They hold the telescope holder in one hand and look through the telescope. The posture is more elegant and noble when watching drama.

At least they think so.

“Hey! Hey! Harvey, what do you think about that, the one with the blond hair and white dress, is in the third row. She doesn’t seem to have a male partner by her side. I shouldn’t stay here and do nothing.” Jared Call Harvey to come over and look at the dense crowd below. The person he said is a plump woman with a beautiful appearance and freckles on her face, but this is a plus in Jared’s view.

Harvey responded: “Not bad.”

Jared thought about turning his head and patted Harvey on the shoulder: “Harvey, I’ll give you this VIP room, **** it, I shouldn’t have invited you over, so I can invite this beautiful The girl comes to the VIP room to watch the drama together. When she is moved, she will definitely not refuse a gentleman’s intimate comfort.”

Harvey couldn’t laugh or cry: “Well, let me talk to the lady. A gentleman in the VIP room invites her to go up, so I can just sit in her seat.”

“Harvey, my dearest friend, our friendship has always been so strong, it used to be, it is now, and it will be in the future.” Jared burst into tears, and wanted to rush to give Harvey a passionate bear hug. , Was avoided by him without leaving a trace.
