73. Go to the play

Influenced by the century-old Hu Feng, the Ming Dynasty was closer to the open Tang Dynasty in terms of social concepts. And because the economy is developed and catches up with the Song Dynasty, the market life is quite a joke that the old masters lament "moral degradation" and "the world is not ancient".

Although there is still a curfew in the city, and the city gates are closed, the gates and towns separated by a wall are full of songs, and the nightlife is quite rich.

Mudu, where Xu Xiaole is located, is still far away from Suzhou City, and there is no nightlife on weekdays. However, it is not uncommon to encounter a temple fair, or a big family in the town invites a troupe to celebrate a birthday, and it is not uncommon to be lively for three or five days day and night.

These troupes and excellent actors are all human spirits. During the day, there were many audiences, so they showed ten percent of their skills and showed off their skills, which was amazing. In the evening, the audience was much smaller, so they collected their skills and made some literary jokes to fool around.

However, these literary dramas are also exquisite. The stories of talented women in the pre-Yuan period were not popular at night--because the ladies and ladies who loved to read these stories were asleep, and the idlers who were willing to stay up late to join in the fun were not interested in it. As a result, the staged literary drama has to be more or less vulgar.

Or the housewife steals the little girl, or the prodigal son steals the young wife, in short, it scratches the hearts and livers of those prodigal sons all the time, so that they don't feel bored when they grin and watch all night.

As Hu Meiniang said: Serious people won't go to see it.

It's just that Xiaole hates the word "serious" the most. Hu Meiniang didn't say this, he was too lazy to go out, and would rather sleep at home. I heard that those plays are for the unscrupulous, so how could he miss it.

Luo Yun saw that Xu Xiaole supported him, and hurriedly said to Sister Mei Niang: "I heard that this time the people invited are all famous families in Suzhou City, and there are not so many messy things, just to be lively." ”

Tong Wanqing has been interacting with Jianghu artists since she was a child, and she is inevitably affected by some non-mainstream influences. She said: "Although there are many black sheep, you can't overturn a boatload of people with a stick, and you can't say that the night scene must be a prostitution and thief." However, Xiaole, your body is not well yet, and you can't even throw away crutches, what are you doing to make a fuss? ”

Xu Xiaole hurriedly patted Luo Yun: "Isn't there still Lao Luo!" ”

Luo Yun hurriedly straightened his chest: "Sister Wanqing, I take care of Xiaole, you can rest assured." If you think I'm clumsy, call a few sisters to go with you. ”

Tong Wanqing hurriedly said: "I don't dare to instruct a few sisters. She said in her heart: Luo Yun is really a stupid boy, as ignorant as Xiaole. People live here, not for us to be present.

Hu Meiniang was also not qualified to instruct Lao Anren's maid, so she didn't speak.

The four girls are very happy, who doesn't like to be lively at this age. It's just that Lotus Ye has to serve Lao Anren tonight, and she can't get out, so the other three decided to leave her and go to Lao Anren to ask for a leave.

Lao Anren understood that these girls could stay by his side loyally, so he was much more relaxed, and only took care of them to be careful, so as not to be abducted.

The girls hurriedly said that Xiaole and Luo Yun would also go, and it would be fine.

Although Luo Yun has not yet been employed, he wears official boots and an embroidered spring knife, but anyone who is not blind knows that he is a disciple of brocade clothes and will never dare to harass him.

Even if you are blind and can't see official boots and embroidered spring knives, you should be able to feel the general figure of Luoyun Tower. If you dare to offend again, it is not a problem with your eyes, but a problem with your brain.

Xu Xiaole and they want to go out to play, of course Tong Wanqing can't let them go out empty-handed. Although this kind of play is free, you have to buy some snacks, snacks, and tea, otherwise you will inevitably be looked down upon. Although she was reluctant to make a little money, she still wanted to save face, so she still took a bunch of money to Xu Xiaole: "Hire a boat, please eat tea and snacks, don't spend it indiscriminately!" ”

Xu Xiaole squinted his eyes and smiled: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I will definitely take care of my sisters and sisters." ”

Mei Qing smiled and said: "If you don't go to Lotus Leaf, you won't have a sister to take care of." ”

Kaede smiled even more, "Yes, you're the youngest of us." ”

Xu Xiaole didn't care about his age, he also felt that it was better to be younger: his sister was much easier to deal with than his sister. If you really can't do it, you shout: You bully the small, you are not a hero!

Although Peach Blossom is also going, she has never dealt with Xu Xiaole - she simply doesn't like Xu Xiaole, so she smiled perfunctorily and turned to thank Tong Wanqing.

Everyone wanted to go to the play, and Tong Wanqing didn't want them to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, urging them to go and come back quickly. She and Hu Meiniang will talk in the courtyard and leave the door for them.

This also made them embarrassed to play too late, but Xu Xiaole and Luo Yun may not be able to comprehend this painstaking effort.

One is that he doesn't care about anything when he goes out to play, and the other is that his head lacks a string, and he really doesn't have that emotional intelligence. Finally, with Peach, Plum, and Kaede together, they should be reminded.

The five of them were about to go out, when Li Xiqian suddenly said: "Ahem, now that I feel less, I will also go with them to see the excitement." ”

Tong Wanqing said, "Then Master, wait." She hurriedly went back and took out two more pieces of money and handed them to Li Xiqiang: "If you give the master tea, don't shirk." ”

Where would Li Xiqiang refuse, under Xu Xiaole's gaze that was about to erupt fire, he took the copper coin and took the lead and left. He's been walking around Mudu these days almost more than in the last few decades combined. This is also because the knot in my heart is opened, and I no longer remember the grievances and hatreds with Xu Hongxuan back then.

Everyone boarded a boat by the river, gave the boat boss five big coins, and easily rushed to Xuwang Temple.

The stage is just outside the Xu Wang Temple.

Although the sky is getting dark, there are still crowds of people in front of the Xuwang Temple, and the gongs are agitating the sky.

The captain of the boat said: "There are many people in front, and you can see it on the boat, and I still have fresh fish soup here." Of course, he is keeping customers for his family, fresh fish soup is not free, and earning a penny is a penny. And maybe we can take them back again, so that they don't have to go back empty.

Mei Qing and Feng Xiang were scared when they saw so many people, and even said, "It's okay, let's watch it on the boat." ”

Li Xiqiang said: "I'm old, I can't see clearly from a distance, so I'll go ahead and see." ”

Xu Xiaole naturally refused to stay on the boat, so he called Luo Yun to go to the front to see it together. Peach Blossom was about to be very happy, and generously took on the job of taking care of Xiaole and followed off the boat.

Xu Xiaole is quite self-aware in her heart: where does she want to take care of me, most of them are squeezed out by Mei Qingfengxiang. Hehe, she is so fierce, it is inevitable that she will not be treated.
