Chapter 42: Listening to the Drama
Ji Anrui stretched out her oily hand, flipped the back of her hand and probed her forehead, and asked, "Do you have a fever?" The brain is so innocent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Huh? What did I say wrong? Ji Qianxia dodged her oily hand, and realized something in hindsight.
Ji Anlei kindly explained: "On weekdays, it is most common for sisters in the boudoir to send embroidery work and hairpin bracelets. Send food, or if you can do it, you can do it without it. As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth. If it's good, it's a pity to turn against it. ”
"Huh?" Ji Qianxia was taken aback: "Is it so serious?" ”
Ji Anrui put her fingers against her chin and raised her head to recall: "I remember that the year before last, Miss Jinguo Gongsan gave a box of pastries to Miss Shang Shuqi of the handkerchief handkerchief. Who knows, Miss Seven fell ill and died that night. The doctor confirmed that the pastry was poisonous. Later, Dali Temple investigated, only to learn that the pastries sent by Miss Jinguo Gongsan were tampered with, and that's it, the two families also formed a feud. No more contact with each other. ”
"What happened to the third lady?" Ji Qianxia was horrified when she heard it, and she was more concerned about the situation of the third lady who was used as a gunman.
"Monk." Ji Anrui spread his hands.
"What? Monk? "Ji Qianxia is simply unexpected.
Ji Anlei pursed her lips and smiled: "She did it voluntarily." said that it was because of her carelessness that Miss Seven died violently, and I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, and she became a nun. ”
"Which nunnery?"
"Nanyin Temple in Xiahe County, a hundred miles away from Beijing."
Ji Qianxia sighed and slowly calmed down.
Ji Anrui didn't let her go, poked her finger on her head, and said angrily: "Remember, right? Don't give people food casually, it's likely to do bad things with good intentions. ”
"Don't just accept other people's food." Ji Anlei added.
"Got it." In this era when people's hearts are not ancient, should we be wary of everywhere?
Isn't this just like modern children, parents have warned them not to accept snacks and toys from strangers casually, because they are likely to be abducted.
No wonder, though. If you want to harm people from a distance, poisoning in food is the best shortcut and one of the most effective means.
The carriage drove slowly, and there were sonorous gongs and silk bamboos floating by outside, as well as intermittent singing.
"It's here!" Ji Anrui couldn't sit still.
Ji Qianxia glanced at her puzzled: As for it? Haven't you seen the Fuma Mansion?
"Listening to this singing song, it is the tone of the show class." Ji Anlei made a conclusion as if she had seen a lot of things.
"What class?" Ji Qianxia had a question mark.
Ji Anlei smiled and said, "Today, Miss Gao invited us to listen to the newly arranged music in the show class. ”
"Theater troupe? So, we're here to listen to the play? ”
"That's right. Don't you love to hear it? Ji Anrui gave her a blank look.
Ji Qianxia's facial nerves couldn't help twitching, the deity likes to listen to singing? Is it the kind of opera that drags a tune for a long time and sings a sentence for five minutes? Someone might as well kill her!
One of the entertainment activities of the Xia Dynasty was listening to singing songs. Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you love to listen to it, sing well, and look good in the drama is very popular. So theater troupes are blooming everywhere. In the countryside, there are grass stage troupes and mobile troupes, and in the city, there are resident troupes that perform on stage at fixed points.
In the capital, the opera troupe is the best place for dignitaries to spend time. The royal family has a pear orchard music workshop, and the noble relatives have a family team. There are open troupes in each square for the common people to enjoy, which is very convenient.
The Jixiu class is ranked in the capital's fame, especially in Beifang.
At the intersection of the lively street corner, the show class started singing at a fixed time in this theater building. Basically, every time a new repertoire is rehearsed, the guests are full and old friends cheer on the show.
Today is no exception, the 'Xiao Guizhen' of the Jixiu class took the stage to sing the new song "The Story of the Hairpin".
The crowded water at the entrance of the theater building was impassable, and the vehicles couldn't pass at all.
Jifu's carriage stopped slightly, and a stout woman squeezed over and said a few words to the coachman. After hearing this, Miss Ji turned around decisively and turned to the side door.
Sure enough, at the side door, not only was the head of the theater in charge of the theater personally greeted, but also a housekeeper lady of the Gao Mansion with two decent mothers-in-law waiting for a long time.
Ji Anlei took her two younger sisters, who were also mothers-in-law, and the girls hugged the decent and generous lady of the Gaofu housekeeper and smiled slightly. After the housekeeper of the Gao Mansion led the people to the ceremony, she did not talk deeply, but only respectfully led the way, and took it all the way to the bright middle stand on the second floor of the theater.
Ji Qianxia walked and aimed, and couldn't help but smash his tongue: Isn't this just like a modern theater business model?
There are seats on three sides of the theater, and among them is a stage that is not big or small, more than one person high. There are one seat for one person and two seats, and when you go to the back, you will have a row of seats.
Upstairs are VIP seats, which also have seats on three sides. However, the seating density is not as crowded as downstairs. One by one, it is equivalent to a modern box.
The theater is not intuitively new, but it is not old either. The carved beams and paintings are quite antique.
There was a slight 'creaking' sound when I stepped up the stairs, and there was already a commotion downstairs for the audience to enter.
"Sister Ji, you're here!" Just turned a pillar, and a fragrant wind wafted from the corner, and two girls with beautiful appearances and brocade clothes greeted them with enthusiasm.
Ji Anlei also smiled and responded enthusiastically: "The two senior sisters have been waiting for a long time. ”
Ji Qianxia followed and saluted, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart: This is the daughter of the princess of the first emperor? Twins? It looks like it! The clothes are really splendid, are you afraid that others will not know that the family is rich and expensive?
The two Miss Gao took the hands of the two young ladies of the Ji family, and went to the best position in the middle with a smile.
Ji Anlei glanced sideways at Ji Qianxia, who was lonely. The latter chuckled at her sincerely, saying that it didn't matter. I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, Ji Anlei also gave her a reassuring smile, and calmly echoed Miss Gao's laughter.
walked to the position near the middle of the private room, and suddenly a long-standing person walked out, but it was Luo Rin.
Luo Rin took a look at Ji Qianxia, who was following behind, and their eyes were caught off guard and collided together, and they were all stunned.
Ji Qianxia frowned involuntarily, walked over without squinting, and secretly slandered: Why is it him again? It's not good to connect and run into him twice? The typical 'Grim Reaper arrived' wouldn't be going well in the theater today, right?
Luo Rin only knew at a glance that it was a party between Gaofu and Miss Jifu. It's just not clear, what is the excitement of the fourth lady in this Ji Mansion?
Where there is her, there is always an accident! It seems that I don't want to listen to music and relax today.
The two little followers, Zhu Ye and Ah Qing, muttered in a low voice: "Why did you meet her again?" ”
There were just four seats in the front row of the middle seat downstairs, plus two small square tables, so Ji Qianxia had no choice but to sit in the second row. It's okay, looking down at the stage on the first floor, it's clear at a glance. The front row doesn't block the view much.
Besides, she doesn't like to listen to singing either, so there's no impatience on her face.
