007 Watching a play
Zhu Mingyu, who was reading by the window, listened to their words and called Kapok in: "What is the Jade Screen Ji about?" ”
"Miss Hui, it's the feather screen, not the jade screen......"
Then Kapok told Zhu Mingyu the story of this play, once upon a time, there was a lady who liked embroidery in her spare time, and was best at embroidering all kinds of birds and birds. Once she saw a colorful bird in the garden, so she embroidered a screen in the shape of it.
The young lady likes to embroider in the yard, but after a while, the little bird flew again, and flew around on her unfinished embroidery, making a pleasant sound from time to time, as if pouring out her love. She thought it was very strange, so after embroidering it, she put this screen outside, but she didn't expect the bird to sing to the screen every day, and finally the bird died of exhaustion. The young lady was very sad, so she took off the screen and buried it with the bird.
In the evening, the young lady had a dream in which two brightly dressed men and women held hands and thanked her. The next day, the young lady woke up and found that there was a screen made of feathers hanging on the screen that had been removed, and the wind blew, sparkling, and very beautiful, and everyone who saw it was amazed.
One passed ten, ten spread hundreds, the matter reached the ears of the queen mother, the queen mother summoned her into the palace, saw the screen and praised it, and listened to her tell the story, felt her kindness, and named her the county lord. In the end, the young lady married her beloved with a screen, and her children and grandchildren were full of worry-free life.
Although Zhu Mingyu doesn't like to listen to dramas, she can only stay here with her if she doesn't go to the maids, so it's better to follow everyone's wishes to see it, and this story still sounds interesting.
There was no entertainment in the ancient inner house, and listening to the drama was probably more enjoyable than watching a blockbuster. Especially the maids whose activities are restricted by their masters, it is even more rare to see them once.
So Zhu Mingyu simply took Kapok and them to watch the play together, and Mama Jiang also rested and took the initiative to stay at home, so Zhu Mingyu took the big girl and the little girl in Yuyuan to Rong'an Hall together.
Rong'an Hall is at the back of the garden, is a three-story building, there is a one-person high stage inside, the surrounding audience is only on the second floor, the height of the first floor is only as high as the usual half-story building, but the passage does not sit people, there are six stairs leading to the second floor from below, the whole place is burned with earth dragons, and I don't feel cold at all after entering.
The Zhu family is also a large family in Fancheng, and Mrs. Zhu's 60th birthday is big, and almost all the people with heads and faces in Fancheng have arrived. In addition, the Zhu family's theater building is well built, and the team is also famous, so it can be said that it is full, although the play has not yet started when Zhu Mingyu came, there is no good position. However, the maids and women are all on the first floor, and although they have to stand up straight to see the stage, they are also very happy.
It was the Qin family who was responsible for arranging the seats, and Hongmei beside her immediately went to find the Qin family when she saw Zhu Mingyu coming. The Qin family was talking to several local officials and family members of Fancheng on the second floor, and when they heard Hongmei's words, although they were displeased, they still kept a smile and walked out of the compartment, asking Hongmei to invite Zhu Mingyu to come up.
Zhu Mingyu sent the other maids to find a place to see them on their own, and she took Kapok and Hibiscus to the second floor under Hongmei's arrangement.
Mrs. Zhu's cubicle was already full, Zhu Mingyu said hello to them and went to sit in the cubicle next to her with the third and fourth masters. Zhu Mingyu didn't have much contact with them, and they were also quite surprised after saluting the third lady Ma and the fourth lady Wang. You must know that Zhu Mingyu has always been above the top and ignores the Qin family.
The woman with a slightly round face and a delicate appearance is Ma Shi, the wife of the third master Zhu Ming'an, and greeted Zhu Mingyu and said: "Mingyu is also here, sit down, the play hasn't started yet." ”
She is nearly thirty years old, and Zhu Ming'an has been married for ten years and has a pair of 7-year-old twin daughters, the fifth young master Zhu Mingyu and Zhu Mingkun Zhu Mingyan are familiar with each other, and several children went out to play together, the fifth miss Zhu Mingfan and her mother do not look very similar, presumably more like their father, their eyes are big, and they stay by Ma's side obediently.
Zhu Mingyu smiled and praised Zhu Mingfan, Ma was even more surprised, she also heard about the events of the past few days, but she didn't expect that the eldest lady didn't seem to be affected today, and she looked in a good mood.
Ma is not a talkative person, and when he saw Zhu Mingyu, he only said a few polite words and stopped talking.
However, Wang's personality is lively, she and the fourth master have already been engaged, but catching up with Mrs. Zhu was married after Mrs. Zhu's filial piety period has passed, and there is nothing to show so far, but there are two girls around her today, and when she saw Zhu Mingyu, she introduced the two girls to her: "These are my two nieces in my mother's family, Yingrong and calm." I remember Mingyu, you are November of the Wuchen year, and Yingrong is only in March of the same year as you.
Wang Yingrong looks at some round and jade, the skin is as delicate as white porcelain, and it can be broken by blowing, Wang Congrong is the youngest of the Miss Wang family, and she is still a little girl with a total horn, and she still has missing teeth when she laughs, and she always blocks it with her hands. After Wang's introduction, they all greeted each other cordially with Zhu Mingyu, and their sisters and sisters were called.
"Mingyu, this is today's drama." Wang handed over a list.
Zhu Mingyu swept it roughly, and Yu Ping was in the second.
"If my sister came earlier, I could have ordered it," Wang Yingrong saw the jewelry on Zhu Mingyu's head and asked, "Is this begonia beads and jasper hairpin worn on my sister's head a new style in Beijing?" ”
Zhu Mingyu didn't have any requirements for what the maid wore for her, she just let them watch it, and the taste of kapok was also good, and she felt very satisfied with what she matched. The hairpin she wore today was given to her by Princess Heng a while ago, and Kapok deliberately chose this style that is not yet available in the city today.
Wang smiled: "The princess really loves you, Mingyu, you are a blessed one." ”
Zhu Mingyu just smiled and didn't answer, to say that she was indeed a blessed person.
Wang is a good object to chat with, the topics are rich and not offensive, Wang Yingrong is also a delicate person, Zhu Mingyu occasionally interjects a few words according to the experience of his previous life, or asks questions or should be reconciled or put forward his own opinions, but also chatted with them lively, even the quiet Ma and Zhu Mingfan were attracted to it.
After a while, the gong sounded, the play was about to start, and everyone stopped the topic.
The opening scene is the auspicious and festive birthday of the Eight Immortals, Zhu Mingyu originally came together to let Kapok and them watch the play, but at this time, I really felt a little interesting, especially He Xiangu's appearance was very beautiful, and her voice was even more beautiful, as pleasant as the sound of heaven.
As soon as the play ended, Zhu Mingyu was still unsatisfied, and when she was happy, she accidentally spilled the tea on the low table when she was clapping, and the tea was poured from top to bottom, and her clothes and shoes were damaged. Kapok wanted to accompany Zhu Mingyu to change clothes, but Hibiscus said that it would be Yuping Ji soon, let Kapok stay, and she would accompany Zhu Mingyu back.
Zhu Mingyu walked out of Rong'an Hall with hibiscus, and when he was about to walk to the garden, he suddenly heard someone talking in front of him, and carefully distinguished, the voice seemed to be Qin Keji, and what he said was still related to her.
