Chapter 259: The Show Begins
In order to entertain Xie Zhi, the Zhang family found a lot of women from the neighborhood to help, and under the control of these women, Xie Zhi and his party sat for about an hour, and the meal began to be served.
"Huzi, prepare the dishes and chopsticks, and start serving the rice."
After Zhang Shi shouted outside, Huzi spilled the tea in the bowl in front of everyone on the ground, and without washing it again, he put the tea bowl he had used just now in front of everyone.
Everyone was surprised, what did this mean?
Seeing everyone like this, Zhu Houzhao explained, "Ordinary people, each family has only a few bowls, and there is no surplus, this bowl is used for both drinking tea and eating." ”
Huzi was probably still holding grudges because of Gu Pu's words just now, and his attitude was not very good, and then Zhu Houzhao's words said: "Yes, what His Royal Highness said is very right, there are only four bowls at home, and the rest are borrowed, but they have to be used well, and if they are broken, they will be compensated." ”
There are more than a dozen people sitting here, and there are also coachmen played by the captain of Jinyiwei outside, who must also prepare meals for them.
The bowls of several surrounding restaurants are barely enough, and if you use the tea bowl and rice bowl separately, it will not be enough at all.
No one has any trouble with Huzi and a naughty boy, and Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao don't dislike it, so the other ministers can't say anything.
Now they have long been hungry with their chests on their backs, and it doesn't matter if the tea bowl is still a rice bowl, or a rice bowl or a tea bowl.
At this time, even if they are allowed to grasp it with their hands, they probably don't have to pay so much attention to it.
Soon, meals were served on the table one after another.
Haggis and oil cake are the specialties of the clouds, and of course they are also staple foods, and these things are the first to be served.
Xiao Jing first served haggis for Emperor Hongzhi on the side, and then sandwiched oil cakes.
The step of testing for poison was directly exempted under the hint of Emperor Hongzhi.
Originally, no one was aware of their identities, and there were more meats in this set of cumbersome steps, so wouldn't it be waiting to be discovered?
I was so hungry that everything I ate was fragrant, and everyone praised these things.
While I was eating, I served tofu again.
These are all unique to the clouds, and this tofu tastes really good when eaten in normal times.
Other than that, all that's left is some stir-fry.
These things happen to be in place this season, and it's much easier to prepare meals.
After the meal was served, Huzi left the room with Zhang Shi and did not eat with him.
The food was a little unclean, but it was also very hearty.
Everyone was also very hungry, and the food was naturally delicious, but with a stick of incense, the delicacies prepared on the dinner table had been wiped out.
After eating the meal, Zhang Shi quickly came in and took away the rice bowl in front of everyone.
After a moment's effort, a stack of dishes was washed and distributed directly to everyone.
At this time, there is no dish soap, that is, rinse it with water, and it is easy to clean it if you eat some porridge.
The key is that these things eaten today are very oily and watery, how can they be washed clean with water.
The water poured into the bowl floated directly on a bunch of oil splashes.
The desire to drink water disappeared in an instant, and this bowl was taken casually, and when it was put back, it was also casually put away.
In other words, what is now in front of them is no longer the one they just used.
How can you drink this?
Xie Zhi didn't want to drink it himself, let alone anyone else.
After a dinner, the highlight he had prepared should also come in handy, and he said directly: "The big drama should also be ready, why don't you go over first?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi nodded and took the lead in getting up.
When Emperor Hongzhi left, everyone had to follow along.
Out of Zhang's house, Huzi took a few people and walked directly to the stage.
There will be such a stage in almost every village, and it is also used for inviting the troupe to perform when there is a happy event in the village's wealthy family.
"Zhixian, I heard that this big drama was edited by Tang Jiaoyu?"
Although Tang Yin is now a county minister, the people in the clouds are also accustomed to being commensurate with the teachings, and they no longer deliberately change their words.
Tang Yin didn't pay much attention to fame, and he naturally didn't care much about the villagers' name.
This matter is said to be edited by Tang Yin, but it is also Xie Zhi who controls the general framework.
Xie Zhi didn't deliberately explain Huzi's inquiry, and replied: "Yes, it was edited by your Tang Sect. ”
Huzi nodded and responded: "These days, Sect Tang has been staying in the theater in the village, and the meals are sent by the village officials. ”
Tang Yin seems to be a little wild and uninhibited, but he is still very focused on doing things.
This is the first attempt, and it is quite important, and it should be strictly controlled.
Xie Zhi didn't say much, walked a few more steps, and the theater arrived.
I heard that there was a big drama in Xue Zhuang to watch, and many people had already crowded over in the theater.
The theater has a prince in the middle, and there are several rooms behind the stage as backstage for the performers to store some props.
The rest of the space is open on all sides, and there are no chairs, so you can sit anywhere.
The crowd is crowded and extremely noisy.
For such a scene, some people who came with Emperor Hongzhi were already frowning slightly.
If they want to watch a play on weekdays, they can just invite the troupe to their homes, so why should they crowd in the middle of this group of ordinary people to suffer this sin.
Emperor Hongzhi is here, whoever is unwilling, he can also see clearly, there is no need for Xie Zhi to say anything.
Xie Zhi didn't pay attention to these people, and smiled beside Emperor Hongzhi and whispered: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, the minister will go and ask if Tang Yin can have a special place there." ”
Today's big drama has already been decided by Xie Zhi, even if there is no scene before the Fengtian Palace, Xie Zhi will take Emperor Hongzhi to the clouds for a trip.
At the beginning, since Emperor Hongzhi sent Xie Zhi to Yunzhong to be the magistrate, he had a positive attitude towards Xie Zhi's so-called one county and one rich country.
Naturally, the things in the cloud are also attentive, even if there are important things at hand, they will let go.
After Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand to agree, Xie Zhi took Huzi directly to the backstage.
When he crossed the crowd and went backstage, Tang Yin was still arranging for those actors to speak to each other, and when he saw Xie Zhi coming, he hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Xie Zhi, are you here?" ”
Xie Zhi approached Tang Yin with a smile and said, "Your Majesty has invited you, and it is entirely up to you to what extent this premiere can be achieved." ”
Only by satisfying Emperor Hongzhi will this drama not die on the premiere.
Tang Yin was quite excited, slapped Xie Zhi on the body, and said, "I know that what you promised will definitely be done, if this thing is not done without His Majesty's consent, it really can't be done." ”
Xie Zhi smiled, very calmly, and asked, "Are you ready for a chair?" ”
Tang Yin nodded and said, "It's been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you." ”
Then he waved his hand and ordered the people below to move the chairs out directly.
There are a lot of people who come to see this play today, and there is no way to prepare chairs for everyone, so they can only be prepared for Emperor Hongzhi and others.
Xie Zhi didn't say much, and didn't continue to bother Tang Yin, and said with a smile: "Then get ready, I'm going out, Your Majesty will definitely summon you after this scene, and you can think about how to deal with it." ”
When Xie Zhi came out of the backstage, the people sent by Tang Yin had already begun to prepare the chairs in the appropriate positions under the stage.
Emperor Hongzhi didn't say a word from beginning to end, but Zhu Houzhao was a little impatient, and asked beside Xie Zhi: "Wouldn't this be the gift you want to prepare?" ”
Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry and couldn't show it at this time, pulled up a smile, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, take a look!" ”
The performance of this big drama was originally for Emperor Hongzhi to see, and since Emperor Hongzhi has arrived, this big drama can start at any time.
Before the curtain was lifted, all the performers took the stage and saluted the audience.
After the ceremony, all the actors returned backstage.
After a moment's effort, the curtain came.
The arrangement behind the curtain is very similar to the warm pavilion, sitting next to Emperor Hongzhi are all important ministers of the court, others don't know where this arrangement is, but they are very clear, a group of people are surprised, the performers on the stage spoke.
