Chapter 12 The first time I entered the Huayun Building
Lan Ruo hurried back to the restaurant, but fortunately the princess was still waiting for her.
At this moment, Xu Jiao was asking Xiao Er about the fun place, Xiao Er saw that the person in front of him was gorgeously dressed, and at first glance he was a nobleman, and he was even more diligent in introducing it.
"In addition to the shop that sells things, you can also go to the most famous theater in our Qianyue City, Huayun Building. It's the most lively place when it's dark, and there are many female guests who go, and the play is interesting and good-looking, and it's famous. ”
Xiao Er's proposal aroused Xu Jiao's interest, and Zhu Qing behind him immediately stepped forward to give a reward.
Xiao Er is a person from a nearby village outside Qianyue City, and his parents sent him to work in a restaurant in the city. These shopkeepers all know that this is a tacit rule that everyone knows, and there will be no restaurant to exploit the rewards that employees get.
Recently, this noble man was really generous, it was a few golden melon seeds, he weighed it with his hand, about one or two weights, and it could be as many as ten taels in silver. Daddy didn't have to worry about his daughter-in-law's money, thinking of this, he smiled happily and put the golden melon seeds in his arms.
As the capital of Yuehua Kingdom, Qianyue City has no curfew. The palace closed the palace gate at the beginning of the day, and it was only evening, and there was still time to visit the theater.
The group went straight to the goal, and Xiaohua, who ran fast, was sent to reserve a place first. Huayunlou is not Qinlou Chu Pavilion, it is a serious theater, and it is very popular with nobles in Qianyue City. The location is in the center of Xicheng District, and the area occupies almost half of the street.
Walking Xu Jiao felt a little tired, if there was a WeChat movement here, it was estimated that she could see 20,000 WeChat steps.
"Lan Ruo, hurry up and find a car set, I'm going to take a car." Xu Jiao shouted. Today, in order to go shopping, she deliberately went out of the palace and didn't let people prepare the carriage, and now she is almost exhausted.
Lan Ruo quickly found a very spacious carriage, although the interior of the carriage was simple but clean, Xu Jiao got into the carriage with satisfaction. The coachman who collected the money for the carriage drove the carriage steadily and quickly, Xu Jiao and her four maids all sat in the carriage, and the rest of the people also hired a carriage to follow in order not to lose the princess.
"Guest, it's here." The coachman's voice was as loud as if he were at a newspaper station, and he took out a bench and placed it beside the carriage, waiting for the guests to get off.
Xu Jiao lifted the curtain and got out of the car, Xiaohua had indeed set the position, and was waiting in front of Huayun Building at the moment.
Seeing that the princess had arrived, Xiaohua's eyes lit up and she stepped forward.
"The slave maid booked a private room upstairs, and at first the people in this building let us sit in the hall, but then the steward seemed to see that the slave was a person from the palace, and immediately arranged a private room."
Xu Jiao nodded indifferently, seeing that it would not affect her, maybe she would have to give her more privileges to enjoy.
There are four floors in this Huayun Building, each floor is brightly lit, the voices of people are boiling, and the Xicheng District centered here is lively, which may be the ancient version of the business district.
Her private room is on the third floor, and the stairs of Huayun Building are separated separately, so when you go upstairs, you can't see the appearance of the building, which is a little mysterious.
When they arrived on the third floor, someone guarding the staircase opened the door for them, and as soon as they opened the door, they smelled a faint fragrance, which made Xu Jiao and the others feel relaxed and happy.
When Xu Jiao entered the private room, someone immediately served tea and snacks, and the maid specially sent a large book of playbooks.
Now on the stage of the center is a mythical story of the Moon Hua Kingdom, a kind woman saves the injured Moon God, so the Moon God repays her beauty and wealth. In order to be dramatic, the woman in this play was neglected by her husband and abused by her mother-in-law, and her mother's family couldn't manage her, and after saving the moon god, she went to the peak of her life, and her husband suddenly fell in love with her, and she and her mother-in-law were reconciled.
Xu Jiao couldn't help but laugh when she saw it, ah, how can you save the moon god as a village girl, why do you have to wait for the village girl to save the moon god so powerful. They are all at the peak of their lives, and they have to go back to live with scumbags and bad mothers-in-law, and probably the moon god can't save the brains that entered the water.
"At present, there are still three plays lined up on the central stage, and if the guests want to order a play, they will have to wait for a while for the central stage to perform. There is a small stage in the private room, and guests can also order a play for the troupe to sing in the private room, but the price is much more expensive. The maid who delivered the script bent down to introduce.
Xu Jiao looked through the script and found that either Miss Jiao and the poor scholar made a private lifelong agreement, or the prodigal son of family ethics turned back, which could not arouse her interest. Turning to the last page, the play piqued her interest.
The famous general Xiong Qiongyu of Great Chu.
This Xiong Qiongyu is a real person fifty years ago, and Xu Jiao heard his personal deeds in the class of Mei University.
It is said that this general can raise a tripod at the age of three, and he can also lift a tripod at the age of thirteen, but a small tripod becomes a big tripod. His most outstanding thing is not his force, but his ability to use soldiers like a god, the king of Chu at that time used him very much, he alone controlled the Xiong family army of 300,000 people, and his military achievements were impressive. A quarter of the land area of the Chu State is now so large that it was laid down by this general.
The king of Chu really trusts him and never doubts him for his great honor, but the son of the king of Chu is not as wise as the old king of Chu. The old King of Chu died of an emergency, and the newly appointed King of Chu was stubborn and self-serving, and always felt that Xiong Qiongyu had the heart of rebellion, so he ordered Xiong Qiongyu to be recalled.
Xiong Qiongyu thanked the old King Chu for his kindness, and honestly returned to the capital with a small team of guards. Unexpectedly, the king of Chu used a cup of poisoned wine to end Xiong Qiongyu's life at the palace banquet, and all the guards who came back with him were wiped out, and it is said that the blood of the Chu palace was washed for a whole month before it was washed.
Even more frustrating things are still to come, Xiong Qiongyu was copied by the nine clans, and the old people and children did not let go. A generation of famous generals fell because of trumped-up charges, and the king of Chu didn't even bother to make excuses, and when he faced the death of the courtiers, he ended the incident with a sentence that I didn't like him.
However, I don't know if it was retribution or what, the king of Chu died after only five years of reign, and he didn't have time to give birth to any children, and finally the throne was taken over by his brother's son.
This general was born great and died a desolate death, and the Yuehua State did not border the Chu State, so there was never a war. Therefore, the people of Yuehua Kingdom are very sympathetic to this general, and now this theater has also compiled the general's deeds into a play.
"Then let's play this play, and let people come to my private room to play it." Xu Jiao pointed to the script on this page.
The maid withdrew.
This private room is extremely large, with the stage in the middle, and the decoration is elegant and fresh. If Xu Jiao is allowed to pick on the thorns, there will be nothing wrong with it.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a quarrel in the corridor outside the private room, and a few unbearable scoldings could be faintly heard.
Xu Jiao frowned, there is still this problem, and the sound insulation effect is really poor.
