Chapter 8 Listening to the Opera

The backyard lobby of the Dutong Mansion is brightly lit, and a servant is dressed up in a fancy way, squeaking and singing in Guilin official dialect, "Open the book and sing, study the book, listen to the mother to teach Zhengchengren, men listen to the teaching and respect of their parents, and women listen to the teaching and respect of the husband", the voice is soft, and she looks more handsome, at first glance, this Hua Dan is a beautiful girl, and where can you see that it is a male singer?

Ye Zhao's legs were crossed on the table, squinting to listen to the play, his feet were still trembling, it was really the second ancestor school.

Rong'er sat beside her husband speechlessly, her small body sat straight, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she occasionally helped her husband send fragrant tea, quite like a good wife and mother.

This couple is probably a perfect match.

The Lingren in the center of the hall is said to be the most outstanding Hua Dan of the Cantonese opera troupe in Guangzhou City, and was invited to his home by Ye Zhao's post.

Squinting, Ye Zhao was still thinking about how he could find a way to drum out the gramophone earlier, he would not have invented it, but if there were talents in this area, he could provide inspiration and ideas, and the principle of sound regeneration was just, although he didn't understand, but if he understood it, he probably wouldn't need Edison to invent it more than twenty years later.

I also thought that the piano that lawyer Tohor bought from India did not know when it would arrive, but if he had the opportunity, he wanted to play a good song for the matchmaker and the little guy.

"Congratulations to you on all directions, all auspicious!" Hua Dan's handkerchief flew over, and at the end of the singing, he was blessed like a cloud, and said in a clear voice: "I wish Lord Dutong and his wife love and love, and give birth to a noble son early!" ”

Rong'er, the little guy, was reserved on the scene, just nodding slightly. Ye Zhao yelled at five and six, and finally let go of his legs, but laughed and said: "Sing well, sing well, come on, see the reward!" ”

Ji Xiang walked over and gave a red envelope. The reward of one or two to ten taels of silver tickets in red envelopes is also Ye Zhao's invention.

"Orchid Girl Xie Du will be rewarded, Mrs. Xie will be rewarded!" Hua Dan knelt down respectfully and kowtowed. Orchid Girl thinks it's his flower name.

"I will send a post to the head of your Sanhengtai class, praise your intentions!" This is a great grace, Lord Dutong's post has arrived, and since then, the orchid girl has almost had a talisman, in Guangzhou City, I am afraid that no one will dare to bully him.

"Lord Xie Dutong, Mrs. Xie!" Hua Dan kowtowed a few more times.

Ye Zhao waved his hand, according to the rules, at this time Hua Dan was about to retreat, Rui Si, who had been standing in the corner, also came over, ready to lead Hua Dan out of the house, and then send a sedan chair to send him back to the theater class, to see that the master was happy, and send a sedan chair to lift him again.

Maybe it was because seeing that Ye Zhao was in a very good mood, Hua Dan hesitated, and suddenly knelt down again, kowtowing.

The smile on Ye Zhao's face gradually faded, Rui Si saw Ye Zhao's anger, his face sank, and he walked over and dragged Hua Dan, "Master is tired, let's go!" ”

"Lord Dutong, the grass people have grievances to be claimed!" Hua Dan said loudly.

"Bang" received a crisp slap on the face, and Rui Si scolded: "I don't know how to lift, hurry up and get out with me!" ”

Rong'er stood up, she couldn't see this scene, Ye Zhao smiled and pinched her arm, and said, "You go back first, there are fries on the table, don't eat them all, leave some for me." ”

Rong'er nodded lightly, but when she heard Xianggong's last sentence, she ignored him again, and her heart was depressed, in front of many people, as if she was a little glutton.

Fortunately, Ji Xiang Ruyi is also used to the little prince's big grin, and he doesn't do it seriously, so he hugged Rong'er.

Seeing Rong'er enter the back hall, Ye Zhao turned his head and glared at Rui Si fiercely, Rui Si was already scared into a cold sweat, knowing that his actions just now had disturbed Madame, he hung his head, and he didn't dare to look at his master.

Hua Dan knelt on the ground, but kept kowtowing.

"Okay, if there are any grievances, I'll listen to them." Ye Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Hua Dan kowtowed again and said loudly: "Yes, Lord Xie Dutong, Lord Xie Dutong, the grass people want to avenge my poor sister and sue the second grandmother of the Tao family, Tao Rong, for persecuting her husband, and committing seven rules, and should be divorced!" ”

Ye Zhao's brows furrowed, if the banner people oppressed the Han people, they naturally had to take care of it, and the co-authorship was a dispute between the Han people, so what did it matter to him, the capital of Manchuria?

Ye Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said: "Let's not talk about family affairs, you are from Foshan, this grievance, but you want to go to Foshan County, no more, you go to Guangzhou Mansion, I can't control your affairs at the yamen." ”

Hua Dan kowtowed vigorously: "Lord Dutong, the grass people also know that they are not in accordance with the rules, but he Taorong two families are powerful, Foshan County and Guangzhou Mansion refuse to accept the grass people's form, and the grass people have nothing to do, so I ask the adults, please hang the mirror high, for the grass people, for the grass people's sister!" ”

Ye Zhao was about to speak, but when he saw Rui Si looking at him, he seemed to have something to say, so he beckoned him and asked him to come closer.

"Master, I've heard of the Tao family's second young man and second young grandmother."

Ye Zhao was surprised, "Have you heard of it?" ”

Rui Si nodded and said, "The Tao family's Rong family is rich and powerful in Xiguan, and the second Tao passed in front of our business, and the guy told me." Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "Tao Lao's daughter-in-law calls her Jin'er grandmother outside, I heard that the beauty is tight, it seems that the Tao family's business is also her master, it is extremely domineering, Tao Lao'er is afraid of her very, which is a joke in Xiguan." But it's not just the second Tao, the Tao family passed away early, since the Tao family boss died of illness and left no heirs, the second grandmother in the Tao family has gradually said the same, the Tao family, no one is not afraid of her. ”

Ye Zhao nodded when he listened, and said in his heart Isn't this the late Qing version of Wang Xifeng? Guangzhou has always been a port to the outside world, and the atmosphere is open, but I'm afraid that this Wang Xifeng is not just taking power in family affairs, it seems that the Tao family's business is her behind her decision?

Rui Si said again: "Tao Lao Er is afraid of his wife like a tiger, and he doesn't want to go back to the house for the night, so he has developed the problem of taking concubines, but over the years, his concubines have been sent away by Jiner's grandmother with silver, I heard that there are people who don't want to take silver, but they were rectified very miserably. ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, listening to Rui Si all the way, Grandma Jin Er is really a bad woman in this era, but if she wants to put it in her own world, she can't be more generous.

This matter, in the final analysis, is a family matter, if there is any grievance, it has to fall on the man Tao Laoer, after pondering for a while, Ye Zhao asked: "Orchid girl, where is your sister?" ”

Hua Dan kowtowed, and said sadly: "My sister has been at home for tea and dinner since she was driven out by Tao Rong's family, describing the withered artemisia ......"

Ye Zhao waved his hand, he understood, this was a family matter, the sister of the orchid girl was wronged, and there should be a solution, but it has nothing to do with the government, and he can't interfere with the deputy capital, not to mention that the culprit is looking for Tao Laoer, since he doesn't have that ability, why are you messing with flowers outside? Harm others and yourself. The orchid girl is nothing more than seeing that she is happy, thinking that she spoils him, and wants to use her power to embarrass the second grandmother of the Tao family, if you sue Tao Lao Er, it will still seem that you are sensible, of course, in this world, no one thinks so, and will only blame the "fierce woman" who does not allow her husband to take concubines.

"Go back, I can't help with this." Ye Zhao picked up the teacup as he spoke.

Seeing that Lord Dutong said resolutely, Hua Dan didn't dare to say more, kowtowed, and got up slowly.
