Chapter 277 Listen to the rain building and watch the play
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to send me like this, you should first ask my good sister-in-law if she is willing." Li Huifang snorted and said, and then looked at Zhou Mengchan. The look in her eyes was as if Zhou Mengchan would eat her as long as she said something that did not suit her heart.
"......" Zhou Mengchan didn't expect that Li Huifang would be so stupid, and she was ashamed to talk about conditions with her eldest brother, and she also took a concubine who was not valued by the Zhou family and not cared for by her eldest brother as a condition, which was really ridiculous.
So she gritted her teeth, put on a look of shame and embarrassment, and said to her eldest brother Zhou Xu'an: "Big brother, my affairs are not important, I was too stupid before, I thought things were very simple, but I didn't expect it to bring such a bad influence to the Zhou family." You just ask her to leave, and my sister doesn't have any complaints or concerns. ”
"You ......" Li Huifang was so angry when she heard this, she choked angrily and then stretched out her finger and pointed at Zhou Mengchan, but she couldn't speak.
"Li Huifang thought that you were also my sister-in-law after all, so she took you to the Zhou Mansion to entertain you with good food, drink and accommodation, but instead of being grateful, you still talked like this, which is ridiculous. I'm not afraid, it's just a release book, and it's just a big deal that I'll be a widow for the rest of my life. Zhou Mengchan said, tears still flowing. It's just that her words seem to be accusing Li Huifang, but in fact, she is reminding the people present that they can't leave her, the daughter of the Zhou family, alone.
Zhou Xu'an understood this as soon as he heard it, and so did Zhou Mengya, not to mention Zhou Liu, who had eaten more than ten years more than them, and Mrs. Zhou, who became Lafayette. Even Zhou Mengjuan, who had a rough nerve in Zhou Jin'an and his wife, also understood, and suddenly the family was silent and did not speak.
Later, it was Zhou Xu'an who opened his mouth. But he still said the words that let Li Huifang leave.
In the end, Li Huifang saw that no one paid attention to her anymore, and knew that she was just howling, where could she really do anything. God knows where the eldest young master of the Zhou family came from so powerful, and she was actually a little stunned when she talked to him. However, although she may not be careful enough in small things, she still understands big things, and the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and she still takes advantage of the fact that others have arranged it for her. Stop it. Otherwise, they will be left alone. She is the one who calls the heavens and the earth, and not the earth.
Let's wait until her father and mother come, and then think about it in the long run......
Zhou Xu'an was right, sure enough, the master of the Li family and his wife came over in the evening of the second day. Zhou Xu'an also asked people to pick them up and took them to the inn where Li Huifang stayed. I waited only for the second day to meet with them and talked a lot.
In the end, it is a qiē shun lì. On the second day after the Li family and his wife came to the capital, the Guo Mansion only sent a second-class steward over. Tong Guò Zhou Xu'an's letter knew that the Li family lived in the inn. went there to give the Li family some dowry gifts, and then carried a red sedan chair and carried Li Huifang to Guo's mansion during the unitary time.
As for Master Li, what kind of mood they were in at that time, and how Li Huifang was doing when she arrived at Guo's house. It doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is that the Zhou Mansion is completely clean now, so there is a relaxed atmosphere in the entire mansion.
The same is true for Mrs. Zhou, especially after Zhou Mengchan's release letter is in her hand. Quietly communicated with Lord Xu, so he brought the matchmaker to Zhoufu to propose marriage. made up my mind, made a good choice, and gave a dowry gift. Just wait for a while, Zhou Mengchan can be regarded as marrying into the Xu family, and half of the atmosphere in the Zhou Mansion comes from here.
And on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Zhou suddenly wanted to listen to the play, so Steward Zhou quickly went to ask people to invite the best opera troupe in the capital, 'Hong Yuban'.
Because it was the intention of the temporary master, the house was also busy this week, cleaning and arranging the stage, and preparing more melons and fruits in the big kitchen
and drinks for the masters.
Zhou Xu'an happened not to go out today, so he asked Ah Cai to invite Chunyu over before the troupe came over. As a result, Ah Cai went to Chunyu's house, but the door was locked.
He went to the car dealership again to find out that Chunyu's family had gone to Fahua Temple, and they might not be able to come back for a while. So Ah Cai had no choice but to come back again, saying with Zhou Xu'an
After listening, Zhou Xu'an was only a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything.
When it arrived, the Zhou Mansion was also ready, and the troupe also came.
Zhou Baida also left his yard rarely, and came out to listen to the play with his mother, Mrs. Zhou, and the Zhou family. The master of the Zhou Mansion is also rare to get together once, so
For a while, the atmosphere was also happy and peaceful.
As for the play sung by the 'Hong Yuban', it is Mrs. Zhou's favorite to listen to "The Pipa Story".
This Pipa Ji is said to be a famous play made by Gao Zecheng at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and it also belongs to the Southern Opera school. The content in it mainly tells about scholars Cai Bojiao and Zhao Wuniang
The love story. This scene is adapted from the folk southern opera "Zhao Zhennu", but in the original story, Cai Bojiao, who betrayed his wife and abandoned his wife, became loyal and filial.
The story tells the story of a scholar Cai Bojiao who wants to live a happy life after marrying Zhao Wuniang, but his father Cai Gong refuses. After being forced to take the top prize, Bo Jiao was asked to marry the prime minister's daughter
, although it is not allowed, but Prime Minister Niu does not rely on it. After becoming an official, his family encountered a famine and his parents died, but he did not know it. He misses his parents and wants to resign and go home, but the court doesn't
Allow. Zhao Wuniang went all the way to Beijing to find a husband, and finally found it and ended in a reunion. The "three disobedience" in this play is that Gao Zecheng focuses on portraying Cai Bo and Quan Zhongquan
The focus of filial piety, and the drama of this paragraph is also people's favorite.
And Mrs. Zhou was extremely happy because of her children and grandchildren, that is, she appreciated that the servants who had nothing to do for the time being could come here and watch the play on the side.
For a while, except for the necessary gatekeeper and the mother-in-law's housekeeper, the other subordinates all came to the listening rain building where the stage was located.
So this also led to the fact that the courtyard under the Zhou Mansion was empty, except for the mother-in-law who guarded the door, there was no one left, even the cook and the rough woman in the big kitchen
There are also fire maids, who have prepared all the food for the masters, and they all ran to the listening rain building.
Then the play on the stage began, and this \-Hong Yuban\ - this time the famous Hua Dan Lu Yuanhua was also sent in the class, which was very popular and loved by the people in the capital. Although the maids and daughters-in-law in the Zhou Mansion have hardly watched a few scenes, nor have they seen the play of Hong Yuban, they also know this Lu Yuanhua. (To be continued.) )
