Chapter 70: Making the Most of It

Looking at the word 'Ming' on the side of the stage, listening to the loud shouts of the villagers in coarse cloth clothes, Mingwei tried her best to maintain the dignified appearance that a noble lady should have.

Yue Xi leaned back on the chair, one arm was on the back of the chair and hung down, she was facing Mingwei, even her eyes were wandering, looking like a ruffian.

Ming Wei blinked, glanced at Yue Xi, and immediately staggered his gaze, and the ghost made the god fall on the pair of couplets again, and the more he looked at it, the worse it became!

The servant's euphemistic and miserable singing, accompanied by the broken drums and cymbals of the auspicious class, disturbed people's hearts, and Mingwei suddenly felt fear.

She was sad that her daughter died, but that sadness didn't make her so sad that she wanted to die.

And the word 'Ming' on the elegiac couplet seemed to imply something, and she suddenly felt that the tomb on the stage was buried with herself!

Yue Xi stared at Mingwei's face as if watching a play, watching her face first flush with anger and then turn pale.

"Are you going to do it against me?" Mingwei's gaze fell on Yue Xi's face again, and she was surprised to find that she had a pair of good-looking eyes!

Those eyes are like a clear spring without half of the impurities, and the same makes people have nothing to hide in her eyes.

Yue Xi slowly gnawed the longan in his mouth and spit out the kernel: "Lao Tzu doesn't have that much spare time. ”

"You ...... this" Mingwei stretched out his hand and pointed to the stage of Baihuahua, which was comparable to the mourning hall, and didn't want to take a second look: "You put all this thing at the door of my house, and said that you don't have time?" ”

"You also bought this land?" Yue Xi scratched her head, and as soon as she returned her hand, Yun Hua put a peeled longan in her palm again.

"......" Mingwei was asked by her and didn't know how to open her mouth.

Generally, the land deed that comes with the purchase of a house is the land occupied by their own yard, and whoever buys a house will not buy the section of the road in front of their home.

"I won't eat it." Yue Xi spit out the kernel, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, got up and said to the stage: "Sing well, sing to the delight of the neighbors of Xixiang Village, add meat to this dish today!" ”

"Uncle Xie Yue's reward!" The crying pear blossom brought the rain to the head of the class hurriedly to Yue Xi Fulofous in the audience, and then shouted to a few people on the stage: "Sell a few brothers, Uncle Yue has added meat to us again!" ”

"Okay!" Several men responded in unison, and the sound of the instruments under his hands was really louder.

Yue Xi walked slowly towards the courtyard of the Taiping Bureau, and directly hung Mingwei, who was anxious and white-faced, there to say a word.

Mingwei really had the heart to tear her apart when she saw her back!

It's just that this public, Mingwei holds his own identity, and he can't really pounce on Yue Xi to fight hand-to-hand.

"Mother, you don't have to be angry about a little thing." Han Yangchun, who came back from chasing the startled horse, walked to Mingwei's side and got off the horse.

"I'll tell a few people to come and smash this stage!" He glanced at the stage and whispered.

"No!" Ming Wei was ruthless, she said word by word in the direction of Yue Xi's departure: "Don't smash it, mother wants to let that slut suffer the consequences!" ”

……

The big opera of the auspicious class was sung for a day, and when the craftsmen of the Hanfu Annexes stopped working, the troupe also stopped.

Four square tables were placed at the door of the Taiping Bureau, a basket of snow-white steamed buns was placed on it, and in the three wooden basins next to it were two pots of real stewed meat and a pot of egg soup, and the fragrance of sesame oil sprinkled with the egg soup mixed with the smell of meat floated out far away, so that the people who smelled it couldn't help but drool.

"Open up and eat, enough!" Zheng Baocai stood at the dinner table with a smile and beckoned the servants who had just come down from the stage to come over and eat: "We are in charge, we sing well, and everyone will be paid an additional fifty clerks!" ”

"Uncle Xie Yue's reward!" The shouts of more than a dozen servants were quite imposing, so that the people of the entire Xixiang Village could hear them.

set up a stage to sing and go around, and I don't pay attention to what I eat and drink.

The host's family opened the meal, and the young man put a bowl of meat with chopsticks, and then took two steamed buns and squatted on the side of the road to devour them, and no one spoke for a while, and there was the sound of eating and drinking, and his teeth touched the bowl.

The courtyard door of the Hanfu Courtyard opened, and the craftsmen with mud and dust on their bodies walked out of it in twos and threes, also holding rice bowls in their hands, and they hadn't eaten yet, but they only glanced at the bowls of the servants a few times and then they were all speechless.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away! With the same hard work to make money, just looking at the meals prepared by the customers on both sides, everyone had a plan for Yue Xi and Mingwei in their hearts.

"When there is no one, quickly replace that couplet." Standing under the eaves, his eyes looking at the red sunset on the horizon, Yue Xi calculated the time when Ying Su would come back.

"Don't worry, my brother can't forget it." Zheng Baocai sat alone in the room eating and drinking, and there was a food box next to him, which Yue Xi asked the master to prepare and take home for him.

"Brother Zheng will take his sister-in-law to the Chu family tomorrow." Yue Xi turned around and whispered to him: "My mother is much better now, I asked her to show my sister-in-law some time ago." ”

"That's a good idea!" The Lou family's medical skills are famous all over the world, and Zheng Baocai has long had the heart to beg Mrs. Lou to see the dog Ziniang, but he secretly inquired a few times, and he also knew that Mrs. Lou was sick, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

Now that Yue Xi has opened his mouth himself, it is exactly what he can't ask for.

"Brother, no matter how long your sister-in-law can live, brother, I owe you a favor!"

He got up, straightened his clothes, and slammed to the ground at Yue Xi, who was standing at the door: "If my brother can't do it, let my son pay it back!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Yue Xi hurriedly walked into the house and stretched out his hand to help him up: "With my identity, Brother Zheng, don't you still call me brother?" ”

"If it's a brother, don't say anything about it again!" Yue Xi looked at him and said softly.

……

When it's all dark, the horse wins

When it was all dark, Ying Su's carriage slowly stopped at the door of the Taiping Bureau.

Also returning with him this time was the chief eunuch Wang Zhi beside the Empress Dowager Hirohito.

"What is this?" The two sides met in the courtyard, Yue Xi looked at Gonggong Wang and said with a smile: "What kind of wind is this, you actually blew Gonggong Wang to my broken yard?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Wang Zhi spoke slowly, but his face was calm: "It was the Queen Mother who heard that the big drama in Xixiang Village was lively, and she specially asked our family to come and take a look." ”

"Now?" Yue Xi asked knowingly, guessing in his heart that it must be Mingwei who entered the palace and gave himself eye medicine, so he waited for the Queen Mother to grab his pigtails and then punish him.

"But now it's all gone? Otherwise, I'll call them all up......"

"It's okay, it's okay, the old slave just take a look first." Wang replied respectfully.

"Let's see, then." Yue Xi asked people to carry lanterns, and walked to the stage with steps, but his sleeves were pulled by Ying Su: "Lady, this is ......"

Mingwei did go to the palace to sue Yue Xi, and said conclusively that the couplet hanging on the stage was clearly aimed at the Queen Mother!

Looking at the world, the people of Dazhao may not know the name of their emperor's majesty, but how many don't know that the queen mother's surname is Ming?

"It's okay......" Yue Xi smiled and squeezed his somewhat cold hand, taking advantage of the night, the two of them secretly held hands and walked to the stage.

"Lift the curtain." Yue Xi commanded.

Feng Jizong responded, and immediately got on the stage and removed the tattered curtain that was hanging.

"The troupe I invited is fun, the poor can't afford to eat, but the class owner has ambition, and he would rather starve to death than do unsightly deeds." Yue Xi motioned to Feng Jizong to stand on the stage with a lantern, while she herself said to Ying Su: "The concubine also respects his character, and I wanted to help the opera troupe with a few taels of silver to get through the difficulties, but people don't want it......"

"No, you can sing two plays with only your lineage, Grandpa Wang, take a look."

The stage of Baihuahua is extraordinarily cautious in the night, no wonder it is necessary to hang a curtain to cover it.

Wang Zhi walked to both sides of the stage without saying a word, stared at the couplet emphatically, and then quietly saluted Yue Xi and Ying Su: "This scene is not good, the old slave feels that it is better not to let the Queen Mother look at it." ”

"Hmm." Ying Su also glanced at the couplet, and waved his hand noncommittally: "You, you are always so kind, but unfortunately not everyone can appreciate it!" ”

……

After Gonggong Wang respectfully saluted, he returned to the palace to resume his life.

Empress Dowager Hirohito, who had already changed into civilian clothes and went to bed in peace, listened carefully to his report and asked, "Can you see clearly, the words on it have not been changed?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the old slave saw it very true, and the word 'name' was indeed written on that thing." Wang Wei replied truthfully.

"Hmm......" Empress Dowager Hirohito lay on the couch sideways and snorted coldly: "The mourning family also expected that she would not dare to write the word 'Ming'......"

"Then ......" Wang Zhi stood outside the layers of curtains and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Mrs. Han?" ”

"She's ......" The voice in the curtain seemed to be a little colder: "She just wants to get rid of Han Yuexi with the hand of the mourning family......"

"This thing! Now I still want to use the mourning family......"

At the beginning of the words, the Queen Mother felt that it was not interesting to talk about the old things before she left the cabinet, so she raised her eyes and asked, "Look, has she ever been pregnant?" ”

"This ...... The old slave couldn't see it. ”

Wang Zhi thought about Yue Xi's tall and slender figure in his mind, and then thought about her appearance in black, he really couldn't tell if she was pregnant.

"Then wait......" Empress Dowager Hirohito yawned: "No matter how old the month is, she can't hide it if she wants to......"

……

"Why are you fighting with Ming again?"

Back in his room, Ying Su said while widening his clothes: "The queen mother was actually afraid that I would send someone to report to you, so she actually sent Father-in-law Wang to accompany her." ”

"Hit?" Yue Xi took his coat and hung it on the hanger: "She has bullied us to the door of our house, and she still doesn't allow me to go back?" ”

"It's just that the lady is pregnant, and the husband is afraid that you will be angry and will affect the child." Ying Su pulled Yue Xi to sit on the edge of the bed, and he himself leaned over her abdomen and listened: "It's been two months, why hasn't the lady reacted at all......"

"Gross!" It's okay if he doesn't say it, as soon as he says this, Yue Xi's stomach suddenly turns over, she pushes Ying Su away, covers her mouth and runs out......

Win Su didn't know why, so he chased him out without even putting on his belt!

At the door of the Hanfu Courtyard, Yue Xi leaned on the wall with one hand and patted her chest with the other, vomiting so much that after a while, she finally stopped vomiting, leaned on Ying Su's body and said angrily: "Damn, let her disgust me!" In the future, Lao Tzu vomited at her door every day! ”
