Since Chang no longer spoke, he acquiesced, and Dou sat down next to Chang.

Hui Yu observed Caixia's movements. Just after listening to a sister's cry, Dou was next to her, how did Caixia react? I saw that Caixia had been serving Chang's, and in addition, she stood and looked at her nose and nose, but there was no abnormality at all.

Looking at the other maids who served the Chang family and the Dou family, they all did their own thing, and there was nothing wrong with it. It seems that the person who secretly married the Chu Dynasty is not among them.

"Good!" Chang's shout interrupted Hui Yu's fugue, and she saw that the babbling on stage seemed to have reached a climax.

Hui Yu can't understand the drama and doesn't like to watch it, but Chang likes this very much, so he also raised a drama troupe in the house. Because the Marquis of Subei was absent from the mansion all the year round, he often invited the ladies in the city to watch the play together. Therefore, although the troupe of this long house only sings in the house, it is more diligent than the troupe outside, and the singing is naturally much better than that outside, and it is also famous in the northwest city. Sometimes there are other mansions that want to sing, and they are proud of borrowing the Chu family's opera troupe.

On the stage, he was singing the troupe's specialty play "Meng's Mother Three Moves", only to hear Hua Dan "Ahh

Such a big mistake can even be seen by a layman like Hui Yu, let alone a perennial listening to a drama like Chang's.

Sure enough, Chang Shi frowned and said to Caixia: "You go to the back and see, what's going on with Xiangju?" Then he said to the other ladies: "I finally called everyone to come and watch the show, but I didn't expect to sing like this, it's really funny." ”

Several ladies didn't really care, and said one after another: "When the famous characters in the capital have missed, this is the first time that Miss Xiangju has experienced it, and it is rare." ”

Caixia came back soon, her expression was pale, and she whispered a few words in Chang's ear, Chang's face sank and sank after hearing this, and she called Shi's mother to whisper a few words, Shi's mother's face also changed, and she left in a hurry.

Chang Shi smiled again: "The troupe rehearsed a new play a while ago, I haven't had time to see it, I heard that it's very good, why don't we watch something fresh today?" ”

Xiangju missed, and suddenly changed the repertoire of the performance, all the housewives present were the housewives of each family, how could they not smell the peculiar smell, but the master deliberately avoided it, and the ladies naturally wanted to give face, and said again and again: "The play that I watched has long been tired, and I must see the new drama if it is rehearsed." ”

The troupe got the letter and immediately started a new play, and Xiangju never went on stage again.

The new play is about a private meeting between a girl and a scholar who lives in the house, and is finally abandoned.

Mrs. Li commented: "If this scene is well rehearsed, we should talk more about this kind of thing, so that the girls can have more snacks." ”

Mrs. Liang also said: "Mrs. Li is right, the women's moral discipline is the words and deeds advocated by our dynasty, and the girls must know that such a request is for their good, and if they do not abide by it, they will reap the consequences." ”

Duo Yu whispered to Hui Yu: "I don't know how the second sister will react when she sees this play?" If I do, I'm going to be restless. ”

Hearing this, Huiyu looked at Danyu, only to see that she looked calm, whispering to Liang Xiuming, and was unaware of what was being said in the play.

Danyu's psychology is really extremely powerful...... Hui Yu sighed.

Qi Zhen tilted her head and said, "Sister Huiyu, I see that what is said in the book is not like this, the scholar won the champion and ended up with Miss." ”

Hui Yu was dumbfounded, generally speaking, the books that write these stories are all rural novels, and everyone is not allowed to read them, how can Qi Zhen see them at a young age?

Hui Yu asked, "In what book did Sister Zhen see it?" How do you see these books on a daily basis? ”

Qi Zhen didn't think so: "It was written in a miscellaneous book in my brother's study, and my brother would teach me to read and write on weekdays, but I didn't expect to see it in my study that day." ”

It turned out to be the son of the Qi family peeking at the wild book. Huiyu said: "Sister Zhen, what those books say is false, and our boudoir women shouldn't read these books, don't read them again next time you go to your brother's, and don't tell others that you have read these books, you know?" ”

Qi Zhen nodded obediently and said, "Well, I won't watch it anymore in the future." ”

After watching the play, it's time for lunch. Chang had already asked people to prepare a meal in the flower hall. One table for the ladies and another table for the girls.

Qi Zhen seemed to like Hui Yu very much, so she had to sit next to Hui Yu when she sat in line.

Although Huiyu also loves Qi Zhen's coquettishness, it is also strange for her to be so clingy to herself, is this the so-called magnetic field between people?

Li Bihua also quipped: "Huiyu really won the favor of Sister Zhen, so inseparable, even I am jealous." ”

Danyu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and said: "That's it, I have to talk to my mother when I go back, but it's not that I am not considerate, but that the third sister has cast the eyes of Sister Zhen, so that no one else can be tolerated." ”

Qi Zhen was teased by Danyu like this, her face turned red again, and she hurriedly defended: "No, Sister Danyu, Sister Bihua, and other sisters I like it very much, but I was born clumsy, and I don't know what to say to my sisters, and I ask my sisters not to be surprised." ”

Although it was the first time for Hui Yu to meet Qi Zhen, Qi Zhen was teased by Dan Yu because of herself, and said: "I see that Sister Zhen also wants to be close to other sisters, but she just happened to sit next to me and said a few more words, I knew that the second sister was so jealous, I should have changed seats with the second sister just now, so as not to fill the room with the sour smell of vinegar." ”

The girls were amused, but Danyu was choked hard and stopped mentioning the topic.

As soon as the meal was finished, Chang said that an old relative from a distance was going to meet him, and sent the ladies away early.

When Qi Zhen was leaving, she was reluctant to give up on Huiyu and said, "Sister Huiyu, can I invite you to my house as a guest?" ”

Huiyu smiled, "Of course, I also want to chat with Sister Zhen more." ”

Qi Zhenke was happy, smiled and showed two small dimples, and said, "That's a word." ”

Watching the Qi family's carriage gradually move away, Duo Yu said: "I didn't expect Sister Zhen to like the third sister so much, it's really rare." ”

Huiyu smiled: "What, is the fourth sister also jealous?" ”

Duo Yu jumped to her feet and said, "The third sister will laugh at me." I think Sister Jane has such a quiet character, and it looks like she is deliberately close to her sister......"

In fact, Hui Yu also felt that according to Qi Zhen's quiet and well-behaved character, she shouldn't be so close to her strange self as soon as she met, could it be that she deliberately approached her? But he has never met her, so why should he deliberately approach him?

In the main courtyard of Qi Mansion, Mrs. Qi Zeng was waiting for Zuo Bu's political envoy Qi Shuping to change clothes. After changing into civilian clothes for Qi Shuzhengdu, Zeng said: "Today, Mrs. Subei Hou invited the ladies of all families to go to the theater with the young lady, and the concubine took Zhen'er with her. After coming back, Zhen'er praised the third girl Chu for how good she was, but she didn't hear her mention the second girl of Chu and the girl of the Li family. ”

Qi Shuzheng said: "Although Zhen'er is quiet and introverted, she has always been sensitive and accurate in her ability to see people, but the third girl of Chu has no parents, and she is only a girl in the fourth room, and she is separated from the Hou Mansion of Subei by one floor. ”

Zeng said: "Master, although the third girl of Chu is not from the long house, but this is not a good thing, today's saint has an unclear attitude towards several Hou Mansions with heavy troops, if you want to take back the military power in the future, the Hou Mansion of Subei will bear the brunt of being cleaned up, if you ask to marry the second girl of the Chu family, we will be equivalent to being on the same boat as the Hou Mansion of Subei, I am afraid that we will be implicated, and now the Lord is coming to report on his work, if you want to return to the capital to find a good position, you must be cautious." ”

Although Qi Shuzheng is an official to the northwest Zuobu political envoy, he was born in cloth, and the Zeng family is the daughter of the Zeng family in the capital, and he is sometimes more well-informed than Qi Shuzheng about the affairs of the dynasty and political family, so Qi Shuzheng will generally listen to what this main room says.

Qi Shuzheng thought for a while and said, "Madame is reasonable. If you want to draw a clear line with the Marquis of Subei, isn't it more suitable for the girl of the Li family? ”

Zeng said: "Although Li Zhong is the son-in-law of the Li family, but after all, he is the second son, and he is not as good as Li Yuma, and he is not as good as Li Hanlin, and the Li family has many heirs, even if he marries the girl of the Li family, he may not get much help." And the mother of the third girl of Chu, Duan, is the old daughter of the old lady of the Dingguo Mansion, she was the pearl of the palm but she married far away, and now she went early and left only one daughter, the Dingguo Mansion must have a lot of pity for this granddaughter, if you get the help of the Dingguo Mansion, plus our Peng'er's talent, is there still a hopeless future? ”

Qi Shuzheng listened to Zeng's analysis and said, "Then let's go to the Chu family without further ado, and ask Peng'er to marry the third girl of Chu." ”

Zeng was not in a hurry, and said: "Miss Chu San has just come out of the hot filial piety, and it is too early to propose marriage at this time. And when I write a letter to my father, I will explore the situation in Beijing and then decide. Our Peng'er is the only son of you and me, and this family matter can be cautious. ”
