Baoding tea is cool, which means that there is residual temperature. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Murong Wei also curled her fingers and gently replied to Xia Yuzhi's forehead: "What is the third brother doing in a daze? I will send a message to the county guard's wife later, and listen to the singing of the auspicious class at night, and the third brother will also go back to nourish his spirits, and he will act with the magistrates under the stage." ”
Xia Yuzhi heard that she was so arranged, obviously she didn't have a good impression of the officialdom in the Jiangyin area, and couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. County Shou listened to Murong Wei's message, saying that she wanted to take a look at the drama list of the auspicious class, and if it was really okay, she ordered two plays, and took a break in the water pavilion, unconsciously smiling.
The play list of the auspicious class is exquisitely done, the red gold-sprinkled paper is painted with auspicious ruyi rui cloud pattern, and the master of his opera troupe is written in a simple official script, and the first is a corner named Juying, Murong Wei has never heard of it.
Seeing that Murong Wei's gaze stopped on Ju Ying, the county guard lady explained: "This Ju boss is a famous actor who only sang two years ago, and now he has taken the lead in the troupe, and Kunqu Opera sings particularly beautifully. ”
With Xia Yuzhi's instructions, Murong Wei smiled with the county guard's wife: "It's rare that you are so bothered, this palace will listen to the lingering sound of the auspicious class, and appreciate the hundred turns of Boss Ju's delicate throat." ”
Originally, he was not interested in listening to the opera, but the troupe was mixed, and Murong Wei was also deeply disliked, so he only had to turn around for Xia Yuzhi, so he was patient to socialize.
Listening to the county guard's wife praising Ju Ying, Murong Wei saw that the names of Ju Ying were all plays such as "The Palace of Eternal Life" and "Swallow Notes", so she said: "It turns out that it is really a famous family, since this is the case, there is no need to listen to others, just order these two plays on Juying's head and tell them to prepare." ”
Mrs. County Shou was full of joy, thanked Murong Wei for her grace, and hurriedly told the people in the troupe to prepare. He stared at the night banquet in the evening, ordered him to buy abalone ginseng wings and tripe, etc., and ordered someone to go to Wenfeng Temple to make a good vegetarian banquet on the table, which was prepared for Mrs. Anguo's mother and son.
Everything was neatly tied, and the county lady happily sent a letter to the county guard, asking him not to be pedantic, and to come early to show his face in front of the nobleman.
The small stage of the post house was set up opposite the water pavilion, and the county keeper's wife immediately ordered people to clean up the water pavilion here, and put dozens of pots of colorful lilies, and dotted with vine plants such as evergreen vines and golden heart spider plants.
Chu Zhaohui didn't want to attend the dinner, but Mrs. Junshou was attentive and replied: "Knowing that Mrs. Shou is filial, she deliberately placed a vegetarian meal from Wenfeng Temple, and the prince was also prepared separately, and he didn't dare to trespass." ”
Reach out and don't hit the smiley person. Mrs. County Shou had a heart, Murong Wei made up again, Chu Zhaohui had to reluctantly make it difficult, and also attended the evening banquet.
A good vegetarian meal on the table, with Buddha jumping over the wall, Luohan Zhai, ginkgo bamboo shoots and mushroom pot, vegetarian shrimp silk tofu and other major dishes are famous, the taste is fragrant, it can be seen that it is worth a lot.
Chu Zhaohui looked at the Eight Treasures Feast on Murong Wei's table beside him, and his brows couldn't help frowning. Rao is accustomed to seeing the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and is still impressed by the luxurious official banquets of Yangzhou County.
Seeing that Murong Wei was using it happily, Chu Zhaohui didn't sweep her interest, and only turned his gaze to the small stage opposite.
The skills of the auspicious class are well deserved, not to mention the beautiful appearance of the chrysanthemum shadow, the sound of cracking stones, the Kunqu opera is sung with affection, and the figure is good.
Mrs. County Shou sat alone, accompanied Murong Wei and Mrs. An Guo and others, frequently toasted cloth dishes, and pointed to the stage and carefully explained: "This is the Danjiao of the Jiqing class that is only becoming popular now, in previous years, when she sang in Beijing, she was just a tricky character." ”
Seeing that Murong Wei's eyes were bright and she listened very seriously, Mrs. County Shou had the intention to show off, took a handkerchief and dipped her rouge red lips, and said with a smile: "Danjiao is mostly sung by men, but this Juying girl swears not to learn Xiaosheng, the class master has no way to take her, so she is allowed to learn Xiaodan, who wants to become famous with a song, and now it is popular all over the country." ”
Murong Wei was perfunctory, and Xiaosheng Xiaodan was not interested, only thinking about what was the situation of Xia Yuzhi, Su Duhan and the county guards downstairs. Seeing that Mrs. County Shou explained carefully, Wan Er smiled and said: "This boss chrysanthemum looks beautiful and sings vividly, so he should be rewarded."
Mrs. County Shou listened to it as if she was praising herself, and when she finished singing a play and called a small play ordered by Xia Lanxin, she couldn't wait to get up and go backstage, and led Juying over to thank her.
Ju Ying had only half removed her makeup, and her long black hair was draped diagonally on her left shoulder, like a green silk waterfall that was tilting straight down, and there were only a few flowers on her hair, which made her look red lips and white teeth, and her eyebrows were picturesque.
Because the residual makeup has not been removed, and the face is still covered with thick fat powder, the true appearance of Juying is not very real. Murong Wei looked at it roughly, as if she felt good. I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while, and I don't feel at ease to go.
Only called the tassel up, and held six thick silver ingots on a vermilion lacquer tray, and rewarded Juying.
The silver of the white flowers reflects the glass lamp, which shows the atmosphere of wealth and wealth. Ju Ying frowned between her eyebrows, but her eyelids were slightly raised, and she didn't see how much temptation she knealed, but she knelt upright and thanked her, and wanted to retire.
Xia Lanxin has been staring at it carefully, and suddenly asked: "The word Juying is very good for the girl's elegance, can you ask, I don't know if it is the girl's real name or stage name?"
The chrysanthemum shadow is as white as porcelain, her face is like pearl and jade, and her eyes are bright and bright when she raises slightly, covering the stars in the sky.
She put a cage of green silk behind her head, and replied with her head half-hung down: "Thank you for your inquiry, the little girl has no choice but to live in the drama troupe, and she dare not insult her parents' surname, the word Juying is the stage name taken by the little woman herself." It's just the meaning of the residual chrysanthemum and the frost, and the shape is only a shadow. ”
Ju Ying wore green clothes and reached the ground, dragging out a long charm on the terrazzo bricks painted with golden lotus dark patterns. The words are sparse, and they seem to be a little like an immortal.
"You don't need to care about the ups and downs of the young man, Huanyi is really blessed when you are old, I hope that Boss Ju will have a smooth ride and a long life in the future", Xia Lanxin stared at it for a long time, and seemed to be embarrassed by the woman who called Juying. She said a few auspicious words, and then rewarded Murong Wei before watching the woman who called Juying leave.
The downstairs was still enjoying a drink, and the ladies upstairs left the table early.
After all, Chu Zhaohui is a little old, and he is not as energetic as the younger generation. She stood up first, and Murong Wei and the others also dispersed.
Wen Wan accompanied Chu Zhaohui back to the room to rest, Xia Lanxin took Murong Wei's arm, walked all the way back to the room, and sat in the Red Medicine Pavilion next to the small twenty-four hole bridge.
The night breeze caressed her face, and the sparkling waves under the dim lights reflected on Murong Wei's face, waving waves on her cheeks, and her eyes were clear and beautiful.
"Sister Lan is becoming more and more idle, and she is full of wishes for a play", Murong Wei sat on the embroidery pier in the pavilion with her knees crossed, burying her head in her knees, thinking about Xia Lanxin's pity for Ju Ying just now, a little funny and a little strange.
