Chapter 647: Watching a Drama
The meals at the banquet were in the norms, but there was nothing special, and the highlight was not in the meal, but in the play "The Chaos of the Concubine" after the meal, and Jiang Yingxue didn't eat much.
It has been put aside, the food is a little cold, and Jiang Yingxue sees that the lady sitting on the seat has not eaten much.
After the meal, Mrs. Shen took them to the Leyin Hall, where there was a large stage, which was specially prepared for watching the play. When she got inside, Jiang Yingxue saw the hot tea and snacks that had been prepared, and it was also very warm inside. At first glance, this is carefully prepared.
The identities of Jiang Yingxue and Lin Niang can allow them to choose a good place to sit, Jiang Yingxue and Lin Niang don't care, they sit in a corner. Jiang Yingxue didn't want to listen to the play, so she might as well chat with Lin Niang in the corner.
Jiang Yingxue took a sip of hot tea, then picked up a piece of milk cake and ate it, and said with a smile: "I didn't eat much just now, so I just eat dim sum and drink hot tea now." ”
Lin Niang smiled faintly, took a piece of cloud cake to eat, and said, "Those dishes are prepared and waited for in advance, and then sent up, where can I eat hot?" And no one will eat more. ”
Actually, what Lin Niang didn't say was that when some meat and vegetables are cooled in winter, there will be a layer of white things, which makes people feel no appetite.
Jiang Yingxue smiled and said, "Then let's stay here and eat snacks." ”
This banquet was organized by Mrs. Shen, and of course she had to sit in the middle. Mrs. Shen smiled and said to the governor's wife: "I heard that this Qingxiang class has a new play, let's listen to this today." ”
This new play is called "Guifei Chaos", hearing this name, it is inevitable that people will think of some political things, hearing the Shen family's wife say this, the governor's wife raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I heard that Yun Ran's singing skills are very good, but I can enjoy it today." "I avoided mentioning the name of the play.
Mrs. Shen didn't mind. Today, the Governor's wife is here, and she is already halfway there.
She handed the play book to the class master and said, "Let's listen to this "Guifei Chao" first. ”
The class owner respectfully agreed, and soon the play began.
In this play, the emperor of the previous dynasty loved a folk woman very much. Later, the emperor brought the woman to the palace, made her a concubine, and was favored.
A year later, the concubine gave birth to a prince for the emperor, the prince ranked third, and she had two concubines before the empress. Later, the concubine framed the queen, saying that she cursed the emperor, and also found witchcraft in the queen's palace. When the emperor found out, he was very angry, so he imprisoned the queen in the cold palace, and the two concubines of the queen were also demoted to commoners by the emperor, and they were killed by the concubine outside the palace.
Since then, the concubine has not given birth to any other children. When the third prince was fifteen years old, the concubine poisoned the emperor and allowed his third prince to ascend the throne.
But the three princes, who were spoiled by the concubine, would only eat, drink and have fun, and ignored the affairs of the court, so the country soon declined, and then there was a peasant uprising, and the dynasty was overthrown, and this concubine naturally did not end well.
Although Jiang Yingxue didn't listen to the play carefully, she knew the general story, the corners of her mouth curled, so direct, I don't know what would happen if the Liu family knew.
In fact, it is not bad to choose Chinese New Year's Eve. At least when you are in trouble, you can catch the other party off guard.
Mrs. Shen took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Marrying a wife should be a virtuous man, this sentence is not said in vain. If you marry a vixen, the family will be ruined. ”
The governor's wife also said, "This is the truth, so when choosing a daughter-in-law, you must keep your eyes open, otherwise you will regret it later." "This Ms. Shen is also a little interesting, she didn't invite the Kochi Mansion here, if she comes, she won't be able to perform today's play.
His lord received the script of this play on the tenth day of the new year, and his heart jumped when he saw it, and then His Royal Highness sent someone to give a New Year's gift, and he knew what was going on, and he wanted to force himself to stand in line.
It is very important that my lord has a heavy army in his hands.
received an invitation from the Shen family, saying that he wanted to listen to the play, and his master knew that this banquet was definitely coming, and he also wanted to see what kind of "play" it was. Now it seems that the Fourth Highness really has ulterior motives.
Mrs. Shen looked at the governor's wife and said with a smile: "I feel kind when I look at my sister, and I want to talk to my sister more." ”
The governor's wife is also a sensible person, and she knows that Mrs. Shen has something to say, but she doesn't know what she wants to use to impress herself and her lord this time. smiled and said, "The play is also over, then we might as well find a place to talk." ”
After this play, many people here changed their faces, I don't know who is so bold, arranging such a play, everyone thinks more, since there is such a play, does it mean that someone has some other ideas? It seems that it is necessary to explain the situation to the master to avoid the situation.
Jiang Yingxue was talking to Lin Niang about Changning, when a little maid came over and said, "Mrs. Gu, my wife invites a wife." ”
Jiang Yingxue knew this maid, and after hearing this, she said to Lin Niang with a smile: "I don't know what Mrs. Shen is looking for me, I'll take a look." ”
Lin Niang nodded and said, "You can go." ”
Jiang Yingxue nodded and followed the little maid. The little maid took Jiang Yingxue all the way to a courtyard and said, "Madame went in by herself, and the slave and maid were waiting outside." ”
Jiang Yingxue intuitively felt as if there was something important, and she remembered the governor's wife who came here today.
Jiang Yingxue pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Mrs. Shen sitting with a lady, she was wearing a jujube red silk embroidered long jacket and a purple horse-faced skirt, looking dignified and elegant. Jiang Yingxue secretly paid her that she should be the governor's wife.
Jiang Yingxue smiled and said to Mrs. Shen, "What are you telling me to do?" ”
"Introduce you to someone!" Madam Shen smiled, and then introduced the governor's wife to Jiang Yingxue.
The governor's wife was also looking at Jiang Yingxue, the red plain jacket she was wearing today, the willow green skirt, young and beautiful. She smiled and said to Mrs. Shen, "You didn't introduce such a beautiful person to me earlier. ”
Jiang Yingxue smiled and said, "I think Mrs. Shen thinks that you are usually too busy to disturb Mrs. Shen." Today, I take advantage of this banquet to make me feel blessed. ”
"With such a sweet mouth, you have to come here often to accompany my old woman in the future." The governor's wife gave Jiang Yingxue enough face, and did not despise Jiang Yingxue because she was a businessman.
Mrs. Shen suddenly said: "Look at the headdress that Mrs. is wearing, it seems to be custom-made in her exquisite years." ”
"In this exquisite age, there is also some meaning, to be able to get things from overseas, and it is really a good thing to go to sea. Speaking of returning to the country, His Royal Highness the Sixth also got a dock here for us. Jiang Yingxue said with a smile.
Today, Madame Shen called herself here and met the Governor's wife. Jiang Yingxue understood that this should be arranged by His Royal Highness, so she said so.
Although the two things were not related on the surface, the Governor's wife blinked. Who is the master behind the exquisite years, she has naturally heard that the matter of going to sea was also done by the Fourth Highness, and it seems that the Fourth Highness is very well prepared.
