Chapter 45: Ideas for the Stage Play
Wang Xiang's words in the Taiji Hall allowed the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang to avoid a war, and the army originally scheduled to go out after the autumn harvest became the eldest grandson Wuji led a delegation to Gaochang after the autumn harvest. The envoy is not a war, and ten Cheng biting gold tied together is not enough for one eldest grandson Wuji, so no one is going to fight with the eldest grandson Wuji for the matter of envoying Gaochang, and no one is willing to fight for the thankless thing of envoying to the Western Regions, which has no military merits to be earned.
The specific matter of the envoy to Gaochang is still to be discussed, but the eldest grandson Wuji, who is not responsible for the death of the pit, has already pitted someone first, but the person who was cheated still doesn't know anything.
On the second day, Wang Xiang went to Sinong Temple as usual, and then entered the palace to see the eldest grandson, the queen received ideological education, and by the way ate a royal meal in the Lizheng Palace, although he felt that the royal meal was not as delicious as his own meal, but in any case, it was also a time to eat back Li Er, and when he thought of this, he felt an inexplicable silly joy in his heart.
Li Zhi, this little ghost, now almost all the time except for sleeping at night is fooling around with Wang Xiang, especially after he brought back the quills and the three-character scripture yesterday, Empress Changsun gave him a task, whenever he finds that Wang Xiang has made something strange and strange, whether it is useful or not, take it into the palace for her to take a look at first, a good future Emperor Taizong was stunned by Empress Changsun as a spy and began to cultivate.
When Li Zhi came out of the Lizheng Palace, he saw Wang Xiang being stupid and silly along the way, and immediately asked curiously: "Wang Jiancheng, why are you so happy today?" ”
Wang Xiang glanced back at Li Zhi, saw that he flashed a pair of big eyes, and then shut up when the words came to his mouth, if he told this little ghost that he was so happy because he ate a meal from their family, he would not let him die of laughter, and then he smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Li Zhi was confused by Wang Xiang's changes, but he didn't take it to heart, today he has more things to care about, the little Lori's cheongsam is done, and when he thinks of the appearance of the little Lori wearing the cheongsam, Li Zhi's heart is full of excitement.
At this time, the backyard of the Marquis of Linchuan was full of warblers and swallows, and the eight maids that Degui bought from Renyazi had long since ceased to be haggard after these days of recuperation and careful dressing, and their faces were ruddy and radiant, and the entire Hou Mansion was a little more angry.
Speaking of which, this is also the credit of Wu Shun, since Wang Xiang told Wu Shun about the concept of hospitality and etiquette in the restaurant, Wu Shun offered to help Wang Xiang train these little girls, of course Wang Xiang is one hundred and twenty agreed. Wu Shun has a gentle temperament and is very good to his subordinates, and when they usually train them, they are all kind and pleasant, and these little girls are naturally very close to Wu Shun, which makes little Lori feel a little jealous, but she feels more comfortable when she thinks that her sister only made a cheongsam for herself.
When Wang Xiang and Li Zhi came to the backyard, Xiaoya was distributing cheongsams to the little girls, and Xiao Lori was pulling Wu Shun to be coquettish. It was the first time for the little girls to see the cheongsam, and they were all sewn with fine brocade, which was silky and soft to the touch.
"Sister Xiaoya, how do you wear this dress?"
As soon as she heard this, Xiaoya was also in trouble, she just sewed clothes according to the drawings drawn by Wang Xiang, and she didn't know how to wear them, so she had to look at Wu Shun for help.
Wu Shun said embarrassedly: "This cheongsam was conceived by my husband, and it is the first time I have seen it." ”
Wang Xiang, who stepped in, laughed: "Madam, don't worry, wait for your husband to teach you how to wear a cheongsam." ”
"The young master is back." Xiaoya cheered happily.
When I saw Wang Xiang, the little girls who were still chirping just now suddenly became much more restrained, and even a little afraid, Wang Xiang couldn't help but wonder: Am I so terrible?
Little Lori glanced at Wang Xiang with a weak heart, I don't know what kind of psychology she has instilled in these little girls Wang Xiang's vicious and tyrannical thoughts in the past few days.
The way to wear the cheongsam is not difficult, at least it is much easier than the clothes of the Tang Dynasty, under the guidance of Wang Xiang, Wu Shun quickly understood how to wear the cheongsam, so he took the little Lori and the little girls into the house to change clothes, Wang Xiang and Li Zhi were lying on the reclining chair in the courtyard and drinking the juice leisurely, the juice is the latest honey and pear juice from Laifu, the entrance is cool and lubricated, sweet and delicious, much better than the drinks of later generations.
After half an hour, Wu Shun and the others finally changed their clothes, and the colorful cheongsams appeared in unison, Rao is Wang Xiang has seen a lot of dazzling in later generations, the cheongsam is good, the key is to look at the people, Wu Shun and Xiao Lori needless to say, even the little girls bought back by Degui are also all with good figures and delicate faces, and they look even more graceful under the background of the cheongsam.
The most conspicuous thing in the crowd is Xiao Lori, who is particularly eye-catching in a red cheongsam, like a red elf, Li Zhi's soul was taken away at once.
Little Lori jumped up and down in front of Wang Xiang, and happily turned around and asked, "Brother-in-law, is it good-looking?" ”
Li Zhi hurriedly threw the juice aside and interjected: "It's good-looking, Sister Xiaowu is so good-looking today!" ”
"Didn't I look good before?"
"It used to look good, but it looks even better today."
"That's pretty much it."
This little ghost is getting more and more slippery, Wang Xiang shook his head and ignored the two of them, now that everything is ready, Dengxian Mansion is almost ready to open, speaking of which, it has been more than a month since the restaurant closed to rest, I am afraid that Degui has been waiting for a long time.
called Degui to explain carefully, and Wang Xiang quietly went to Yicui Tower that night.
……
"Zixin, you haven't been here for a few days, I thought you forgot about me after you got married."
Wang Xiang smiled awkwardly and said, "It's really because I'm too busy during this time, no, my restaurant will be ready to open in a few days." ”
"Oh?" Ning Xiang suddenly became interested and said: "I remember you said that you would ask me for a favor when the restaurant opened, it seems that if it weren't for the opening of the restaurant, you wouldn't have come to me today." ”
Wang Xiang was speechless for a while, Ning Xiang smiled and stopped teasing him, and said, "Say, what do you need me to help with." ”
Wang Xiang took out a stack of rice paper from his arms and handed it to Ning Xiang.
"What is this?"
"Here are some of my new lyrics."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ning Xiang's eyes when she heard this, and she hurriedly opened the rice paper, which was densely filled with small characters, all of which were classic lyrics and songs from later generations transcribed by Wang Xiang, a full ten.
"This ......" No wonder Ning Xiang was so surprised, not to mention ten lyrics and songs, even one lyric and song is not easy to come by.
Wang Xiang continued: "On the day of the opening of the restaurant, I wanted to ask Ning Xiang to sing a few lyrics and songs in the restaurant. ”
Ning Xiang suddenly realized, hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder if I can ask a few sisters to help?" ”
Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment and then said happily: "Of course you can, it's better, let's just don't just sing, we can make a stage play, there is acting and singing, the effect will definitely be better." ”
Ning Xiang asked curiously, "What is a stage play?" ”
Wang Xiang excitedly explained the stage play, and when he heard it, Ning Xiang's eyes were full of joy, and he couldn't help but praise: "Zixin's talent is really rare, and he can come up with something like a stage play." ”
Wang Xiang smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I also saw something similar from the book before I had a whim." ”
"No one else can think of it." Ning Xiang smiled lightly, "It's just that this stage play is much more difficult than singing, especially the script that Zixin said......"
"There is no problem with the script, that is, the white fox that I wrote to you before is a good script with a slight adaptation, but the stage play not only needs to sing but also know how to perform, and rehearsals are particularly important."
Ning Xiang thought about it for a while and said, "Why don't I let a few sisters come over and listen to you talk about how to rehearse the stage play, and they will be familiar with it when the time comes." ”
Wang Xiang thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The sisters invited by Ning Xiang are the most popular girls in Yicuilou, one of them is Qing'er that Wang Xiang saw last time, and she was a little embarrassed to see Wang Xiang Qing'er again, but Wang Xiang didn't care.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Sister Xiaoyun, this is Sister Qing'er, and this is Sister Xiaobei."
"This is ......"
Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Sister, I don't know if I don't say it, this is Wang Gongzi, who is the four great talents in Luoyang in the Jinguang Lake Poetry Club, and our sisters in Yicuilou can admire Wang Gongzi very much." ”
Wang Xiang hurriedly said modestly: "It's just that I was lucky enough to write a few so-so poems." ”
Qing'er asked curiously, "I don't know why Sister Ning Xiang asked Xiaocui to call us over?" ”
Ning Xiang got Wang Xiang's consent before and directly handed the rice paper with lyrics and songs to Qing'er, Qing'er took it suspiciously, and was immediately surprised: "Sister has so many good lyrics and songs!" ”
Hearing Qing'er's exclamation, Xiaoyun and Xiaobei also stepped forward curiously.
Ning Xiang smiled: "These are the ten lyrics and songs that Wang Gongzi just handed over to me. "If someone else is condensing incense, they still call Wang Xiang Wang Gongzi.
Qing'er said enviously: "Wang Gongzi is really good to his sister, I think it took me a lot of effort to get a new word with that Ma Gongzi that day, but it is much inferior to these ten lyrics and songs of Wang Gongzi." ”
Seeing that Xiaoyun and Xiaobei were also envious, Ning Xiang smiled and said: "This is not written specifically for me by Wang Gongzi, several younger sisters also have it." ”
"Ours too?" Xiaoyun and Qing'er both looked incredulous, they didn't seem to know Wang Xiang very well.
Ning Xiangwan smiled: "The lyrics and songs are nothing, a few sisters sit down first, and listen to Wang Gongzi tell everyone about the stage play, I think you will be even more surprised after listening." ”
"A stage play?"
When Wang Xiang said the idea of the stage play, Xiaoyun and the others were dumbfounded, they had never heard of such a novel idea, especially when they heard that they could participate in the stage play performance changed by the white fox, Xiaoyun and Qing'er were even more surprised. You must know that it is precisely because of the name of the white fox Ning Xiang that it has been spread out of Chang'an City, and there are even many people who come from far away to listen to Ning Xiang sing a song of the white fox, and how can they not be overjoyed to hear that they have the opportunity to participate in the stage performance of the white fox at this time.
Wang Xiang was really a little overwhelmed by the burning gaze of Shang Xiaoyun and Qing'er, and hurriedly said: "It's not too early, I'll go back first, and I'll bring the changed script tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Xiaoyun and Qing'er stepped forward in unison to grab Wang Xiang's arm and said coquettishly: "Why wait until tomorrow, Wang Gongzi should change the script now." ”
Feeling the silkiness on his arm, Wang Xiang was extremely embarrassed, but fortunately, at this time, Ning Xiang spoke: "The two sisters should let Wang Gongzi go, he is now a family person, and if he doesn't go back, I'm afraid it won't be good." ”
Why does that sound a little weird......
"It turns out that Wang Gongzi still has a delicate wife at home."
"Can't you come to our Yicui Building if you have a wife?"
Although they said this, they were still reluctant to let go of Wang Xiang, but they deliberately rubbed his arm, and Wang Xiang, who was flirting, almost couldn't control himself, and finally fled in the laughter of the women.
