6. Urging "Dream of Red Mansions" 6

The man carrying Du Zhe placed Du Zheping on a bed, and someone reached over to remove the blindfold in front of him for him. Du Zhe couldn't adapt to the light outside for a while, so he could only squint his eyes, his eyes were hazy, and he couldn't see the situation outside clearly for the time being, but he heard Fang Cai's voice in his ears and said, "Boss Qu, I've offended a lot along the way." ”

Du Zhe slowed down for a while before he saw clearly where he was: this is a very delicately decorated place, although there are not many things, but everything highlights the owner's intentions: it is July now, and the summer heat is thick, but there are ice bricks for cooling in the four corners of the house, and there is a blue gauze cupboard outside the place where he is lying, and there is a bamboo tent hanging from the bed to the window, and the sun is scorching outside, but the house is very refreshing.

"Boss Qu, our Chang Fujin can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and he is blocking your mouth, because he is afraid of alarming her. Now that you're in the house, the minions will go to this Rausch thing for you, and I hope you don't trouble the minions......"

The person standing in front of the bed and talking seems to be the chief historian, at first glance he is a very steady and careful person, his attitude is respectful and not humble or arrogant, it seems that although he is a member of the palace, he is a figure that should not be underestimated.

After listening to his words, Du Zhe naturally nodded. So the cloth dumplings in his mouth were taken out, he took a deep breath, and was about to ask, but the chief historian of the palace observed the words and looks, and did not leak a drop of water, and hurriedly gave a salute, so that Du Zhe had no chance to speak-

"The prince will come over later, don't be impatient, the slave will retire first."

The long history of the palace was neat, Du Zhe was still tied, he tried to find something sharp in the house to grind the cloth belt that tied his hands, but it was only in vain, even if he wanted to reach the porcelain on the table, he was afraid that when it was broken, he would disturb people. Forget it, Du Zhe got up and sat down at the table, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth.

"Divorce!"

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a man rushed in, he had a rather cute baby face, and when he saw Du Zhe, he flew over, pulled Du Zhe to look at it carefully, and asked again and again, "Are you okay with your love?" Didn't get hurt, right? I heard that it was Brother Zhan of the Cao family who saved you, didn't I? ”

The person in front of him doesn't need to be reminded by the system, in Qu Beiyi's memory, Du Zhe has seen it. It's just that Du Zhe never expected that in his memory, the number one die-hard fan of Qu Beiyi turned out to be the "thick thigh" he Du Zhe was looking for - Prince Heshuohe, today's fifth elder brother Aixin Jueluo. Hiroshi.

Seeing that Qu Beiyi didn't answer, and the prince was a little flustered, he hurriedly untied the rope tied behind Qu Beiyi, and scolded hatefully, "What are these minions doing?!" I tied you up! Does it hurt to leave the relationship and hurt your hands? ”

"No, no! Thank you for your care! Du Zhe came back to his senses, hurriedly shook his head and smiled at the prince, "I'm fine, it was Brother Zhan who happened to pass by and saved me, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have the life to stand in front of the prince and talk now." ”

Prince He was originally rubbing his hands for Qu Beiyi very diligently, but when he heard Qu Beiyi's words, his eyes darkened and he stood up a little dejected, "Divorce, why are you still so separated from me......

Du Zhe frowned and didn't answer immediately, because the Qu Bei Yi in his memory was not very close to the prince, and it seemed that he was in love with the prince, and Qu Beiyi tried to maneuver. Du Zhe understood: Qu Bei means a play, and Prince He is a powerful person watching the play in the audience. These princes and nobles like to watch the drama and sing, but the drama has no choice.

On the one hand, the kingship is rich, but on the other hand, he can't help himself.

"Alas, it's okay......" Fortunately, he took it by himself, "Separation has always been like this, yes, it is the king's temporary affection......"

"I ...... didn't mean to blame the prince," Du Zhe hurriedly spoke, although neither Qu Beiyi nor he wanted to be a male favorite of the Israeli servant, but the person in front of him was Prince He, for Cao Xueqin, Du Zhe still needed to stabilize him first, and then plan for the future, so Du Zhe smiled tactfully and said, "I heard Prince Bao say that he was also entrusted by the prince to find the divorce, and the prince treats the heart of divorce, and the heart of divorce understands." Just ......"

As soon as Prince He heard this, his eyes lit up, and when he heard the sentence "just", he stared at Du Zhe nervously, "Just what?" ”

"It's just ......" Du Zhe bowed lightly to the prince, "What a noble person the prince is, he is not as low as his status, he is a ninth-rate actor." The prince likes to listen to the drama made by the divorce, which is the blessing of the third generation of the divorce. If it is, if it is in the future, the prince is still willing to appreciate his face to listen to the drama of divorce, and he is naturally very happy in his heart. It's just that Liqing never dared to cling to the prince's heart because of this, Chang Fujin treated the prince so sincerely, and the two side Fujin were such intimate and cold people, and they didn't dare to compare with them. ”

This was said euphemistically, Du Zhe just wanted to express the meaning of #Ten Motions Refusal#, but he didn't expect that with such a big person as the prince, a baby face wrinkled, and a few tears were born, and he even cried with a flat mouth, "Divorce, divorce, why are you so ruthless." ”

=mouth=

Du Zhe made an embarrassed face, thinking that you are not satisfied with having three wives, and you have to learn from others to play with men! Am I ruthless? You're ruthless and vexatious!

"Lord Wang, Qi people are not blessed," on the face, Du Zhe still respectfully and softly persuaded him, and smiled, "However, if the prince is willing to make a ninth-rate friend, it is an honor to leave his feelings." ”

"What a cunning Boss Qu," Prince He sniffed, glanced at Du Zhe with some resentment, and then said, "Divorce, you know that you will drill for me, how can I not drill it." Anyway, if you want to be friends and divorce, I want you to be the same as me: in the future, when there are only you and me, you don't call me the prince anymore, listen to the life. ”

Du Zhe saw that Hongtian was so easy to speak, so he naturally nodded and agreed with a smile.

Later, Hongday ordered someone to bring dinner to the small courtyard and the two of them used together, this and the prince is a child's heart, during the banquet told Du Zhe a lot of interesting stories about the court, a meal to the guests and hosts, but during the period the chief historian came to invite twice, one time said that it was invited by Chang Fujin, and another time said that it was Yongbi's illness and there was a bad pool, but they were all rejected by the prince.

Thinking that it was inconvenient to stay in the palace for a long time, Du Zhe wanted to say goodbye after eating, but he and the prince refused because it was not peaceful recently, and even told him that he didn't need to go out in a hurry.

"Leave?" Du Zhe was surprised, "The master actually agreed?!" ”

They are not the only troupe in Beijing, there are one or two famous actors in a troupe, and those troupe owners are desperate to hold on to people. Kun Ban has only rented Guanghe Chalou for two days, and there are still five or six plays lined up behind him, if he is not there, how can the master be willing to give up the loss of the opera troupe these days? !

Prince He looked strange and a little evasive this time, he said vaguely, "In short, don't ask about the divorce, it's very chaotic outside!" It's not good for the people around me to be around you, and there will be trouble on the fourth brother's side. You see, you don't have to worry about food, clothing, and housing in the palace, so ...... for the time being Listen to me, wait a little longer before leaving, okay? ”

Du Zhe saw that he and the prince had a different look and dodged his eyes, and he knew in his heart that things were not so simple. It's hard to ask at the moment, so I can only nod and answer.

In the next few days, although Du Zhe had the heart to ask someone, the subordinates who served him in the palace were very vigilant and couldn't find anything at all. On the night of the fifteenth day, the river lantern was put outside, and the prince couldn't resist the begging of Chang Fujin and the two side Fujin, and accompanied them, after all, last year, and the prince's eldest son Yongying died.

Du Zhe got the opportunity and quietly caught a maid from the outer courtyard to investigate-

"You mean Kunban?" The maid didn't know Qu Beiyi's identity, but seeing that he was wearing very luxurious clothes, she thought he was a guest of the palace, so she said, "You just came to Beijing, right?" I don't know what Kunban has changed in recent days......"

"Oh? What kind of change? ”

"I heard that the first character of the Kun class, the boss of Qu Beiyiqu, was suddenly chased and killed a few days ago, and now the enemy came to the door and the boss didn't dare to keep him, so he used a deputy Dan who used to be with Boss Qu to sing Concubine Yang's role for him, but I didn't expect that Xiao Dan was young, but he was a very talented person. It is said that in the past few days, not only has Kunban not been applauded, but the silver money has also risen very high! The name of that young master...... What's it called......"

"But it's called...... Even snow? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Ouch Ye, you know it, they all say that this even the little master has the momentum of becoming the second 'Yang Concubine', he does "The Palace of Eternal Life" decently, and he also deliberately added a few fan dramas into it, although our prince thinks it is vulgar, but there are people in Beijing who like it tightly, and they all start to call him 'even boss'. ”

Powder play?

Du Zhe sighed in his heart, even the child Xue was bold, Hong Sheng's "Palace of Eternal Life" is an elegant opera, where can it be compared with "Painting Tang Chun" and "Uncle Xi". Moreover, the Holy Ancestor explicitly forbade the scene of arranging such a nonsense on the stage in the theater garden, and also throwing egg whites to pretend to shoot something, and even Xue didn't know where to learn it, so he had the audacity to add lewdness to the elegant opera.

Du Zhe secretly shook his head again and again, but he couldn't say anything, he could only promise to the maid for a while, the weather was hot, but his palms were full of cold sweat, and his heart fell straight down: no wonder Prince He didn't dare to tell him the truth, it seems that even if the wind and waves are calm in the future, there will be no place for him to be in the Kun class, and second, if the Kun class is called to report to the official because of the ban on acting in the future, Qu Bei intends to even half of the snow master, and he will have to follow the lawsuit.

Lian Xue...... Du Zhe shook his head, this is the way of survival of the actors in the troupe, and no one is much more noble than others. Besides, the role of selling meat is indeed more popular, and there are fewer requirements for singing, Lian Xue was born in Ma Dan, and her martial arts skills are more advantageous in fan opera, so Lian Xue's choice is understandable.

Du Zhe sighed, looking at the bright moon in the high sky, Qu Beiyi had already left Kunban, and the current situation was an opportunity. Although it is not the best opportunity, Du Zhe believes that things are man-made, and he will fight for what he wants.

After fifteen years, Du Zhe made up his mind in his heart. First sent someone to take out the silver he had saved over the years from the trading house, and even asked the little guy to ask for a set of "The Palace of Eternal Life" drama book collected by the palace, this thing Qu Beiyi has seen many times, Du Zhe inherited the memory of Qu Beiyi, and is naturally very familiar with it. He found a piece of paper, wrote and drew on the paper, and wrote down the details of many scenes.

"Burying Jade" and "Secret Oath" are what he can't give up, these two folds are famous works of Qu Beiyi, but there are still many good plays in the excerpts. What Du Zhe is looking for is naturally the drama that the troupe does not often do and can be performed without one or two protagonists, such as "Su Ge", "Night Resentment" and so on.

Qu Beiyi also has friends in the three or five opera gardens in Beijing, and he doesn't dare to provoke the people in the Kun class, but there are also one or two horns in the Gui class and the Nanjia class who are willing to help him, so Qu Beiyi got together a few musicians, and found "Brother Gui" and Li Gui in your class to play Tang Minghuang, and in a short time, a small temporary theater troupe was formed.

Everything is ready, just find a suitable time to go on stage.

Du Zhe was busy for a while, and he didn't have time to see Cao Xueqin, but the little guy named Ding Rong next to Cao Xueqin found an opportunity to talk to the people around Qu Beiyi, and passed the news to Qu Beiyi two or three times, Ding Rong said that Cao Xueqin's injuries were gradually improving, but she was confined. Cao Fu didn't go out anymore, and guarded Cao Xueqin at home, for fear that the old lady and Mrs. Cao would have soft ears and release Cao Xueqin out to cause trouble.

These Du Zhe didn't care much, but he just gave Ding Rong a lot of money, telling him to serve Cao Xueqin well, and to get more books he liked for Cao Xueqin to read.

"Boss Qu ......" Ding Rong reddened, pushed the silver back into Du Zhe's hand, and whispered, "Brother Zhan said that your life is not easy, I can't ask for this silver." ”

Du Zhe's heart warmed, but he still forced the silver into Ding Rong's arms, "No matter how bad it is, it's better to have him thinking of me like this." ”

Ding Rong answered, just in time, the boss of Chalou sent someone to come over and say to Du Zhe that the field was empty three days later, and a sign had been hung up for him. When Ding Rong heard this, he turned around and asked, "Are you going to take the stage again?!" But Kunban is not ......"

"Rong'er, I won't have anything to do with Kunban in the future," Du Zhe smiled, and briefly said his idea of wanting to set up a theater troupe by himself, "I wonder if Xiao Rong'er is willing to come and see my new play?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Ding Rong's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed, suddenly thought of something, and sighed again, "It's a pity that Brother Zhan can't come to see your play......"

Du Zhe was also stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that on the day he took the stage, he still saw Cao Xueqin, but in a way that he didn't expect at all-
