"I don't know that Lord Ding is here, and the villain is far away, and I hope that the adult will forgive his sins."

"Hehe, the master of the Yan class is a famous person in our Jinhua Mansion, I'm afraid I didn't put this official in my eyes, right?"

Yan Changqing's heart sank, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "How dare the villain not put the adult in his eyes?" ”

"Really?" Ding Yongting smiled coldly and continued: "In this case, three days later, I will go to the official mansion to set up a stage to perform and celebrate the birthday of the third lady of the official. ”

"This ......"

"What? Yan Ban Master is not feeling well? Then you need to rest more, and you don't have to play this play tonight! ”

This statement is clearly the threat of Chiguoguo.

Even if Yan Changqing has some relationships, how dare he do it with Jinhua Mansion?

In the end, he could only swallow his anger and respond: "Yes, follow the orders of the adults." ”

At this time, Ding Yongting was finally satisfied, stroked his beard and smiled, and subconsciously glanced at the front row with his eyes and said: "The official brought his family today, is it possible that the master of the strict class is ready to let the official stand and watch the play?" ”

"Don't dare, the villain will immediately let people add a table, and someone will ......"

Without waiting for Yan Changqing to finish his order, the third lady who came with Ding Yongting said: "Mrs. Ben doesn't sit in the back, she has to sit in the middle of the first row to see clearly." ”

Ding Yongting immediately responded: "Yes, yes, everything depends on Mrs. Master Yan, do you hear me? Go ahead and arrange it now. Only two tables are allowed in the front, and all the other tables are moved back. ”

He is the prince of Jinhua Mansion, how can he be on an equal footing with a group of grass people?

He sat in the front row, and the grass people had to stay behind.

"Lord Ding, this ......"

Yan Changqing's face froze, and he was about to say a few words of defense.

At this time, a clear shout suddenly sounded in the audience: "Lord Ding is so powerful!" ”

"Who?"

"Who is so bold?"

Before Ding Yongting could speak, the two family members began to bark like two hounds, and their eyes followed the sound.

As a result, he met Chen Zibai's eyes.

The two of them suddenly came to their senses and walked over with murderous spirits.

"You are so bold that you dare to humiliate my family!"

At this time, Ding Yongting finally came back to his senses, he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't care about what official shelf he was putting on, so he took three steps and ran forward in two steps.

"I don't know that Lord Chen is here, the lower officials are rude and rude......"

In terms of official quality, both of them are actually six products. However, Chen Zibai is a Beijing official, shouldering the responsibility of supervising local officials, even if the Jinhua prefect meets, he has to respectfully greet him, let alone the government.

"Plop~"

Two dull sounds rang out at the scene.

When the two wicked families heard that their own adults actually claimed to be subordinates...... Aren't you scared and kneeling down?

Who is this recruiting, who is provoking whom?

"Lord Ding, if you want to watch a play, it's difficult to send someone over in advance to book a table?"

"No...... It's not hard, it's not hard......"

Ding Yongting was in a cold sweat.

"Then why did you force Master Yan to move the table? According to you, if the official sits here, won't the tables in the front row have to be moved back? ”

"The lower officials know that they are wrong......

was reprimanded in front of so many people, one can imagine how aggrieved Ding Yongting felt in his heart.

His face was hot, and he couldn't wait to find a sewing to hide.

The third lady who accompanied her also hurriedly stepped forward to salute with small steps: "The concubine is blessed to meet Lord Chen." ”

"Alright...... Otherwise, the official will give up a seat to Lord Ding, and the official can stand and watch. ”

"No, no, no, the lower official stands and watches, and the lower official stands and watches......"

Where did Ding Yongting dare to let Chen Zibai give him a seat.

Besides, if he can be a mansion, how can he not hear the meaning of Chen Zi's vernacular? Giving up his seat is fake, obviously he wants to punish him and let him stand and watch the play.

Fortunately, Chen Zibai didn't want to embarrass Ding Yongting too much, after all, he was also a high-ranking official of the government, and if he slapped him, he still had to reward a date.

So he said to Yan Changqing: "Master Yan, call someone to carry two more chairs to the side, and you can't let Lord Ding really stand and watch the play." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The chair was quickly lifted and placed between the two tables.

It's just that Ding Yongting and the third lady seem to have regained some face, but they are tormented in their hearts.

No one called them up, and they could only kneel all the time.

"Choking...... Knock knock knock ......"

With the sound of gongs and drums on the stage, the play finally started.

A small episode did not affect the effect of the whole play, and from time to time burst into applause and thunderous applause.

Especially Gu Ming, his mood is even more different.

After all, the Legend of the West Chamber was nominally created and sold by him, and it can be regarded as a lot of effort.

Now seeing it on the stage will naturally give me a sense of relief and accomplishment.

"Someone, reward!"

As soon as he was happy, he immediately called the troupe and generously took out ten taels of silver as a reward.

Seeing this, Chen Zibai couldn't help but smile: "Gu Sheng, this official is not as rich as you......"

While talking, he also took out two taels of silver as a reward.

Gu Ming hurriedly said: "Lord Chen's words are serious, more or less heart. ”

Seeing that Chen Zibai was rewarding, Ding Yongting had to find out two taels of silver......

The two adults both gave rewards, and the others naturally took out the silver to give rewards, and the guys in the drama troupe bowed and thanked them repeatedly.

The people standing behind also stepped forward to give rewards.

However, ordinary people don't have so much silver to take out for rewards, and most of them are copper plates.

The guy still thanked him repeatedly, as Gu Ming said, more or less heart.

As soon as the play ended, Ding Yongting hurriedly left.

Yan Changqing first thanked him on stage, and then made a special trip to thank Chen Zibai.

"Thank you, Lord Chen, for helping the villain."

"Hehe, it's not enough to worry about small things...... In addition, after this incident, I think Lord Ding will be somewhat restrained, and Master Yan doesn't have to worry about him coming to you again. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Subsequently, Gu Ming sent Chen Zibai back to the official office before returning to the inn.

The next day, the group met for a big walk around Jinhua Mansion, and Gu Ming didn't have anything special needed.

But the first time I accompanied my fiancée out of the house, I always had to express it.

After shopping around, I bought some rouge gouache and jewelry for Nie Xiaoqian, and also bought some high-quality silk fabrics.

Yu'er was also stained, Gu Ming spent twenty taels of silver to buy her a jade pendant and a hairpin, and the little girl smiled with joy, and the uncle and uncle called it even more sweet.

Women's jewelry is not just a decoration, but also a savings.

When you really need money urgently, these jewels can be sold for cash, as long as the quality is not bad, you will not lose much, and sometimes you can even make money.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gong Zheng actually came to Jinhua Mansion, saying that he had come to get a scripture, and he was going to make "The Legend of the West Chamber" into an excerpt after he returned.

That night, Gu Ming and others continued to enjoy the second fold of the play.

stayed for three days, and after watching the three-fold play choreographed by Yan Changqing, he began to return.

Along the way, Yu'er was excited, and kept talking about the drama as if she was still unsatisfied.

In general, this play was indeed very successful, and in the next two days, many dignitaries and nobles from Jinhua Mansion also came, including the wife of the prefect, and rewarded ten taels of silver.

In fact, after Gu Ming watched this play, he foresaw that this play would definitely be popular.

First, Yan Changqing's arrangement is quite good; Second, this opera itself was very popular in his previous life, and it belongs to the traditional classic opera, which has endured for hundreds of years.

This also gave Gu Ming an idea to write a script when he had the opportunity: Farewell My Concubine!

Farewell My Concubine is also rumored in the community, including He Yongliang used to tell stories from time to time.

It's just that no one has made it into an opera.

In view of the experience of the previous life, once this play is written, I believe it will become a classic opera again.

With such an idea, after returning to Guobei County, Gu Ming began to take time to draft.

This story doesn't need to be written as a long story, according to Gu Ming's assumption, about 10,000 words are enough.

The style of writing can be written in the style of a playbook, and then printed into a comic book with pictures, which is also convenient for the troupe to adapt into an opera.

If the sales are good, it can be used to hand in the main quest, which is simply a matter of killing several birds with one stone.

Within a few days, the new "Farewell My Concubine", which combines the content of the two worlds, was undrafted.

However, Gu Ming did not rush to prepare the sketch, but handed it to Ning Caichen, He Yongliang, and Dong Sheng, and asked them to copy a few copies each, and then give them to the storyteller in the county for free......

said it was free, but in fact, these storytellers were not helping to promote it for free?

……

Before you know it, it's the middle of July.

Gu Ming finally ushered in a crucial turning point in his life: going to Yuhang Mansion to take the exam.

For other candidates, this is an important opportunity to gain fame, status, prestige, and future.

For Gu Ming, the most important thing is that it involves the issue of character upgrading.

If you don't win, then the system can only maintain the status quo, and no amount of experience can improve the character's level.

The day of departure is an auspicious day chosen in advance.

Nie Hongshu made a special trip to see him off, including Master Zeng, Zheng Juren and other squires who also sent them off after getting the news.

Not to mention Nie Xiaoqian and Yu'er, they have been reluctant to be sent outside the city gate.

On this trip, Gu Ming was alone.

Under normal circumstances, most of the scholars have a long way to go to the exam, so they like to travel together and take care of each other.

Most of the people who have the conditions will bring a booklet to help carry the boxes and cages, sundries, etc.

If the conditions are better, you will also bring a few nursing homes and maid rings to travel all the way......

Gu Ming didn't need any of this, even if he encountered beasts, robbers, or even demons and monsters on the way?

Even if the opponent's strength is too strong to beat, I believe that there is no problem in self-preservation.

Besides, Guobei County is not far from Yuhang Mansion, less than 400 miles, with Gu Ming's footsteps, it is really necessary to rush at full speed regardless of white and black, one day is enough!

Of course, he is not in a hurry, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to travel all the way, even if he walks for four or five days.

This township test, Chen Zibai has already paved the way for Gu Ming in advance......

Of course, it is limited to eliminating some cumbersome procedures, and at that time, you only need to go to the official in charge of the township examination to register, and you can directly take the examination.

Other candidates are more troublesome, and they need to provide guarantee documents and the like, so as to avoid identity fraud, such as finding someone to take the exam on their behalf.

In the evening of the next day, Gu Ming walked through a mountain field and was about to find a place to stay, but he didn't expect to turn a corner and see a lonely courtyard on the side of the road.

Outside the door stood a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in an emerald green dress.

"Childe, are you going to Yuhang to catch the exam?"

Seeing Gu Ming's figure, Yahuan took the initiative to ask.

Gu Ming nodded: "That's right!" ”

Yahuan said with a warm smile: "Childe, it will be dark soon, the nearest town is still more than ten miles, and it is not very peaceful along the way, so it is better to stay and stay overnight." ”

What an old-fashioned little girl.

Maybe there's a more enthusiastic young lady in the yard.

Talking about the world, the paradise of readers, lives up to its name.

In the spirit of long-term knowledge, Gu Ming smiled and followed the girl into the small courtyard.

"Squeak~"

As soon as Gu Ming entered, Yahuan turned around and locked the courtyard door......
