Chapter 369: Woe Comes from the Mouth
Bai Qingyun smiled and quickly knelt down, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the Queen Mother.
"As long as the Queen Mother likes it, you can come to the show at any time, Zhou Gongzi left you a private room, you see the position above, there is a separate passage, not affected by the guests below."
Following the direction of Bai Qingyun's finger, the Queen Mother and the others all looked back.
Sure enough, above the audience, there was a small second floor, but there was a curtain blocking it, and with Bai Qingyun's introduction, the curtain of the compartment was opened, and a huge room was exposed.
The Queen Mother was very happy, in such a position, they sat here and watched the drama for more than an hour without finding it, it was really very secretive, if the passage was still alone, so that they could watch the drama at any time, wouldn't they be unaware.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at Zhou Heng.
"You're all bothered, girl, get up quickly and tell the mourning family what your name is? Where are the people? ”
Zhu Yunmo was a little worried, and glanced at Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng smiled slightly, signaling him to rest assured.
Zhu Yunmo was a little relieved at this time, staring at Bai Qingyun and the Queen Mother, at this moment the Queen Mother had already pulled Bai Qingyun's hand and asked her to sit on the brocade pier in front of her.
The princes and concubines in the back also came over excitedly, after all, Bai Qingyun's interpretation of the role is very tense, and they all feel very happy to listen to her at close range at this moment.
Bai Qingyun smiled slightly embarrassed on his face, glanced at Zhou Heng, and then said:
"Bai Qingyun, a folk girl, is a native of Tongzhou, abandoned by her family since she was a child, her adoptive father took me in and taught me to sing, and on the way back to Beijing, her adoptive father fell ill and was rescued by Zhou Gongzi, but he has been incorporated.
After burying his adoptive father, I heard that Zhou Gongzi was recruiting people to rehearse a new drama here, and the folk girl came to admire it, and was really moved when she saw the script, so she took the initiative to invite Ying to play Li Xiangjun, but this new drama is not like all kinds of operas, I don't know if the Queen Mother likes it? ”
Bai Qingyun said very sincerely, and the Queen Mother felt even more sorry for the girl in front of her, and when she heard her last question, her smile was even bigger.
"I like it, I like it very much, the mourning family said, I will support you in the future, the mourning family can't see enough!"
King Xian didn't stand far ahead, but he also said with a smile:
"What the imperial grandmother said is that the "Peach Blossom Fan" performed by the White Girl really opened Sun Chen's eyes, and he can show all kinds of scenes in front of him, which is completely different from ordinary operas, and can only be described with two words: shock."
The Queen Mother glanced at King Xian appreciatively.
"Or Bingxun has a vision, and the mourning family also thinks, by the way, what is the name of what you just sang, why is it so good?"
Bai Qingyun was a little embarrassed, bowed slightly and said:
"This is a poem written by Zhou Gongzi, we changed it into a song card, and we used it in the whole play, we also hope that it can be catchy, and many poems can be sung with this tune."
King Xian is estimated to be a Tongyin rhythm, and he hummed two sentences that turned out to be the poems in Zhou Heng's previous poetry collection, although the artistic conception is different, but it is sung through this tune, which is not inconsistent at all.
In an instant, the Queen Mother realized, "What did you say this just now, Qupai?" ”
Bai Qingyun hurriedly leaned over, "Yes, this is the music card, one tune and one music card, we have now compiled three music cards, and we will gradually introduce them in the subsequent performances, after all, the new drama has just finished rehearsal, and there are still many places to be more perfect." ”
The Queen Mother was surprised, "This is not good enough?" ”
Xue Fan, who was standing behind, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, with a panicked look on his face.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the little one was a little nervous and timid, and the last one, I forgot the words, and I didn't meet the original expectations, please punish the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother hurriedly motioned to Mama Cui to help people up.
"Come on, the performance is already so good, don't be presumptuous, the mourning family didn't see what you missed, the first time you can perform like this, the effect is already very good."
Xue Fan hurriedly got up, and the Queen Mother looked at Mama Cui.
"There are rewards, the mourning family is very emotional, this court situation is turbulent, so that the people are so miserable, it is really a disaster for the court, you go back and break with the emperor, if you want the people to have no worries, you must have a stable court situation, if you don't understand, come and see this "Peach Blossom Fan", and see the ending of Li Xiangjun and Hou Fangyu."
King Xian hurriedly said yes, the prince was originally reluctant to participate, but when he saw that everyone was saying so, he quickly bowed down and said yes.
Zhou Heng hurried over and looked at the Queen Mother with a smile on his face, if this is the case, talk about it less, entertainment is entertainment, and you can't lead the war, otherwise you will be used by these princes in the future, wouldn't it be to pull yourself and Zhu Yunmo into the whirlpool of party strife.
"The Queen Mother is not early, otherwise let's go to Zhuangzi for dinner, they are all ready."
The Queen Mother smiled instantly, looked at the Xian King and the Prince behind her, and naturally understood what Zhou Heng meant, stretched out her hand towards Mama Cui, stood up and ordered:
"Let's go, let's see what food Mo'er and Zhou Heng have prepared, so the mourning family is indeed a little hungry, white girl, you can accompany the mourning family!"
Zhou Heng was stunned, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to let Bai Qingyun serve beside her, and without saying anything, she hurriedly beckoned everyone to walk outside the theater.
The carriage and horses had stopped in front of the door at this time, but the Queen Mother did not get into the car, looked at the lush scenery outside, shook her head and said:
"Don't take the car, the mourning family wants to go, what I see every day in the capital is the boxy sky, and now that I have come out, it is better to walk outside."
With that, the concubines who were already ready to get into the car hurriedly followed behind.
Even though the road in Beishan has been hardened, walking on the side of the road in such a luxurious dress, one by one loses its previous elegance in a moment, and the corners of the skirt and shoes are inevitably stained with mud, but no one dares to complain.
The crowd walked to the village, and there was no order to shut people up, so at noon, all the households were cooking, and some women were still in front of the door, chatting and doing their work.
Seeing Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng bringing people over, they were stunned at first, and then quickly knelt down, but they didn't know what to call them, they just knelt and didn't speak.
The Queen Mother waved her hand to everyone, such a pastoral atmosphere was what this old man in the deep palace liked the most, the smile on his face did not decrease but increased, and he hurriedly motioned for everyone to get up.
"Don't kneel, it was my old wife who disturbed you, what are you eating?"
Seeing the silk in the woman's basin, rubbed with white flour, the Queen Mother was a little puzzled and asked with interest.
The woman always saw Shizi and Zhou Heng, and when she saw that these two were also there, she suddenly lost her sense of restraint, and introduced with a smile:
"This is a golden potato cake, the prince and Engong taught us to plant a lot of golden potatoes, the last harvest, some small ones were not dug clean, we picked them up and inserted them into silk, and then mixed them with flour, and baked them out like cakes in the oil pan, and my little grandson can eat four at a meal."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she hurried closer, she really couldn't see what it was, she seemed to be a little hungry, and looked at Zhu Yunmo with a smile.
"As soon as she said this, the mourning family really wanted to eat."
Zhu Yunmo was stunned and looked at Zhou Heng, not to mention that they were really unprepared for this.
"This ......"
Seeing that Zhu Yunmo paused, the woman quickly wiped her hand on the placket of her clothes, stood up happily and ran home, and after a while, she brought out a bamboo basket covered with a white cloth, and when she opened it, the bubbling potato cake appeared in the bamboo basket.
Zhou Heng was the closest to her, and he was about to take it, when the eldest grandson of the emperor who followed behind him rushed up and stretched out his hand to block the woman's hand.
It is estimated that he was afraid that the woman would do something wrong and wanted to stop her, but the woman was already walking, holding the bamboo basket with one hand, and when he was blocked like this, the bamboo basket was crooked and the cloth on it and a layer of potato cakes rolled down.
Zhou Heng hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and the bamboo basket was held in his hand, but a lot of cakes rolled off the ground, and the imperial grandson disagreed, blocking the woman horizontally, stepping on the cake under his feet, and said to the queen mother:
"Ancestor, it's better that the people in the palace are responsible for your food, so don't touch the food of the country woman, so as not to worry about the grandson."
