455 plays
,
Tea and broken porcelain spilled in all directions, and the crisp falling sound couldn't even suppress the applause around them, and some spectators subconsciously raised their eyes and glanced in the direction of the seat.
Han Xing and Duanmu Fei both twitched the corners of their eyes, and said secretly in their hearts: This is not over! In the end, it doesn't make people watch the show!
If they didn't want to see the next encounter between White Snake and Xu Xian Broken Bridge, they would have wanted to leave.
Xiao Er downstairs heard the movement here and came in a hurry, Shu Yun hurriedly ordered him to clean up the mess on the ground, she only thought that Mu Youchang had accidentally missed.
Compared with the three girls present, the other three young sons in the elegant seat looked a little subtle, and they all seemed to understand something. Wang Tingwei's face was gloomy, and he almost didn't take the door.
As for Li Tingyou, his brows were furrowed, revealing a look of disagreement.
I can't watch this "play"!
He frowned and looked at Duanmu Fei and Han Xing, the two little girls pointed to the green snake on the stage, and discussed his three faces with their eyebrows, as if they were unaware of Mu Youchang's abnormality.
These two silly girls!
Luckily, I came with me. Li Tingyou secretly said in his heart, no, he can't let these two stupid girls be "taught badly".
"Cousin Scarlet," Li Tingyou leaned sideways towards Duanmufei beside him, and said in a low voice, "I just heard someone on the market saying that someone on Changling Street in front of me is performing juggling and juggling, and they are from Minzhou......"
Although his volume was not too loud, it was enough for Han Xing to hear it, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to lean into Duanmu Fei's ear and said, "Cousin Scarlet, let's go watch juggling!" ”
The two little girls have always been greedy for freshness and excitement, so they stood up together without saying a word, and left the elegant seat with Li Tingyou.
Mu Youjing wanted to follow, but hesitated.
He glanced back at Mu Youchang, who was sitting beside him with a stunned expression.
Mu Youchang didn't notice that Han Xing and Duanmu Fei had left, and at this moment, only the green snake on the stage was left in his eyes, and he looked at him without blinking.
But seeing that the beautiful green snake was slim and lively, and he had a deep love with the white snake sisters, and went to Hangzhou together......
Mu Youchang is already crazy.
Mu Youjing looked at Mu Youchang's obsessive appearance, his heart was like a mirror, and a cold smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth. The "fetish" of his second emperor brother is also well known......
Thinking about it, Mu Youjing quietly glanced at Wang Tingwei, whose face was as heavy as water, and finally didn't get up. He picked up the teacup, which was a great opportunity.
Since the marriage of the second emperor brother, the father and the emperor have also begun to change their opinion of the second emperor brother, and it seems that the second emperor brother has returned to the "right path", but he doesn't know that this dog can't change his.
A cold glint flashed under Mu Youjing's eyes. If he can catch the handle of the second emperor brother and let his father see the various ugliness of the second emperor brother, then the second emperor brother will be completely finished!
Thinking about it, Mu Youjing's heart was hot, his face was silent, and he drank tea slowly.
As for Shu Yun, seeing that Mu Youchang had no intention of catching up, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She is a dignified princess, so don't be a courtier's follower!
In a small private seat, the four people are happy and smiling on the surface, but in fact, they have their own thoughts.
After Duanmufei and Hanxing left the seat, they followed Li Tingyou out of the theater and went in the direction of Changling Street.
They didn't have to ask for directions, and from time to time they could hear some people saying that there were two people in front of them performing Western tricks, calling friends one by one, and they all walked towards that side happily.
As soon as he heard the Western tricks, Han Xing's interest became even higher, and he took Duanmufei's little hand and ran forward with the flow of people.
Changling Street is just one street away, and a vacant lot at the end of the street has been surrounded by many people on the inside and outside of the three floors, and those spectators burst into bursts of warm applause from time to time.
Han Xing pulled Duanmu Fei to squeeze through the crowd flexibly, and squeezed to the front of the crowd in three or two clicks.
At the center of the crowd was a young man in a black Western dress, at most in his twenties, with a handsome appearance and a bunch of dimples when he smiled, which made people feel good when they looked at it.
The young man held a tall top hat in his hand and turned the direction deftly so that everyone could see that it was just a small hat.
Then, he began to continuously take out one object after another from the "empty" top hat, one moment a few silk handkerchiefs, one moment a few candies to a few children, one moment into a fluffy white rabbit, one moment into a small top hat, and the next moment a white dove flapped its wings and flew out of the hat and flew towards the blue sky above......
Everyone on the side of the onlookers subconsciously looked up at the white doves flying far away in the sky, dumbfounded.
"Bang Bang!"
There was a burst of warm applause again, and many people threw some copper plates into the bamboo baskets on the ground, making a crisp "whoosh" sound.
Han Xing was very generous with a silver bill, she and Duanmu Fei were reluctant to leave, and watched the young man perform the iron ring trick.
Han Xing applauded the other party from time to time, and his tender palms were red, and his eyes were shining.
When the trick ended, there was a chubby white rabbit in Han Xing's arms, she was beautiful, as if she had taken advantage of something, and Li Tingyou was almost speechless about this silly girl: this girl and his little fox cousin are so different in temperament, and I don't know how the two of them can get along so well.
"Mu Sigongzi," Li Tingyou couldn't help but say, "Those Western tricks are just tricks......
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw two little girls looking at him with a look like they were fools, and both pairs of eyes were black and clear.
"Of course I do." Han Xing said as a matter of course, raising his eyebrows, as if to say, you don't think of this palace as a three-year-old child!
Li Tingyou touched his nose, inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and changed the topic: "I just heard that there is a teahouse in front of me that not only has good tea, but also does a good job of honey three knives, sesame halva, and rich cakes. ”
Han Xing still looked at Li Tingyou without blinking, and saw that Li Tingyou's body stiffened unconsciously.
He cleared his throat and was about to say something more, when Han Xing suddenly smiled, his smile was like a flower, and while he turned around, he said with his hand: "Cousin Scarlet, let's drink tea!" Cousin Yu treats. ”
The implication is that he agreed to Li Tingyou's proposal.
Duanmu Fei followed Hanxing briskly, and watched another good show without giving up, she laughed so much that her stomach hurt: she likes to watch her cousin eat deflated the most, who makes him like to pretend, if this is Junran, he would have come back a long time ago!
Li Tingyou touched his nose, a little helpless, and a little funny, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he followed unhurriedly, looking leisurely and comfortable.
The sun began to set in the west, and it had been more than two hours since they got off the boat, and they had only eaten some burritos at noon, and Han Xing was really a little hungry at this moment.
Thinking that Li Tingyou could sweep the tail, she ordered a table of all kinds of dim sum with confidence, and while eating with Duanmufei, she commented:
"Scarlet cousin, this honey three-knife slurry is bright and non-sticky, sweet and soft, well, the sesame seeds on it are really fragrant!"
"Try this sesame halva, it's crispy and sweet, melts in your mouth...... Let's buy two more boxes and bring them back to the ship. ”
"There is also this ducktail crisp, the layers of puff pastry are distinct, each layer is as thin as cicada wings, crispy and delicious."
“……”
They ate so well that even the white rabbit on Han Xing's knees was a little nervous, so Han Xing simply asked Xiao Er to send some vegetable leaves, grapes or something, put the white rabbit on the table, and let it eat by itself.
Li Tingyou and the red-eyed white rabbit looked at each other for a moment, and then moved together, both bowing their heads and eating their own.
Although he has been playing for a long time, Han Xing is still a little unsatisfied, "Cousin Scarlet, I think there is still some time before it gets dark, why don't we go and play elsewhere......"
At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe walked in from outside the teahouse, shouting: "Brother Huang, Brother Zhang, have you heard?" Feng Lanchuan of Feng Xiangyuan was bought at a high price! ”
One sentence caused an uproar in the lobby, and the pot exploded for a while, and the tea guests all whispered to each other.
"No, it won't!" A tea guest with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in the lobby couldn't help but stand up and said in a loud voice, "Feng Lanchuan has just become popular this year, how can Boss Feng be willing to sell this gold mountain at this time?!" ”
In the Dasheng Dynasty, the operas were all ninth-rate, like prostitutes, they could be bought and sold at will, and the descendants were not allowed to enter the scientific examination.
Han Xing and Duanmu Fei, who were sitting on the railing on the second floor, were both attracted by the movement below, and looked at each other, but they didn't know who this Feng Lanchuan was, and it sounded like a famous character in the theater.
Li Tingyou saw the confused appearance of these two girls, and knew that the two of them were two monks who were at a loss.
But Li Tingyou knew that Feng Xiangyuan was the theater they had been to today, and he immediately thought of Mu Youchang's obsessive eyes.
Even if he didn't go to verify it in person, Li Tingyou felt that there was a chance in his heart.
"He" is decisive enough! Li Tingyou raised his hand and picked up the tea cup in front of him, blocking the corners of his mocking mouth, fortunately he brought these two stupid girls out, otherwise he wouldn't have to pollute their eyes.
In the lobby downstairs, the middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe had already sat down at a table against the wall, and his friend eagerly pulled his sleeve and asked, "Brother Miao, what's going on?" Who bought Feng Lanchuan so generously? ”
Another friend graciously served him tea.
The tea guests on the first and second floors of the teahouse all looked at the table in unison, waiting one by one, and before they knew it, the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter.
The man surnamed Miao moistened his throat with a teacup, and then said slowly: "I also went to Boss Feng to play pai gow today, and I happened to meet it." The person who bought Feng Lanchuan was a Jin merchant, and they all said that the Jin merchant was rich and famous all over the world, and today I can see it. The old man who didn't look amazing opened his mouth for five thousand taels, and he didn't blink his eyelids. ”
"Five thousand taels?!"
The other tea drinkers immediately let out a burst of exclamations, and they were speechless.
Another gray-haired old man said enviously: "These five thousand taels are enough for Boss Feng to build several more Feng Xiangyuan in several nearby towns." ”
"yes." The man surnamed Miao was also very envious, "That's a full five thousand taels of silver tickets from Chase Bank, I see that Boss Feng has to wake up laughing in his dreams, and he pretends to say that he and Feng Lanchuan father and son have cultivated him for more than ten years, and I also want him to have a good 'home'." ”
"It's no wonder that people are willing to spend a lot of money. Feng Lanchuan's appearance is really good, dignified, pretty, charming, elegant and generous. In the future, I won't be able to see it......"
"I knew that I would also go to Feng Xiangyuan to watch a play today."
The tea guests below were full of praise for Feng Lanchuan, and they were sighing as they spoke.
Li Tingyou on the second floor raised his eyebrows in surprise, listening to the description of this man surnamed Miao, the Jin merchant in his mouth was obviously not Mu Youchang...... He rubbed it thoughtfully on the teacup, and soon understood.
However, of course, the royal affairs have nothing to do with him, and Li Tingyou just listened to the excitement and put this matter behind him.
Han Xing and Duanmu Fei didn't care about the downstairs at all, and were still discussing where to go next.
"Cousin Scarlet, I remember if there is an embroidery shop at the end of the street, look at the banner hanging outside, the embroidered pattern is interesting, why don't we go there for a walk."
Duanmu Fei thought about it and remembered it, just now they were in a hurry to see people performing Western tricks, so they didn't enter the embroidery village, and now after resting for a while, her physical strength has also recovered.
Duanmufei nodded hurriedly and said, "I remember, there is a bookstore next to that embroidery village, maybe I can still buy some books......
These two girls still want to buy it?! And there's more! Li Tingyou looked at the big bags and small bags on the side and the two boxes of sesame halva that Xiao Er had just delivered, and felt that he couldn't do this job!
"It's getting late, we should go back." Li Tingyou directly interrupted Duanmufei.
Han Xing subconsciously glanced out the window, the sky outside was still very bright, and the westerly sunlight shone into the teahouse through the treetops.
The sun hasn't set yet, and it's getting dark.
Han Xing turned his head and gave Duanmu Fei a strange look, which means, isn't Cousin You's eyes not very good?
It seems to be. Duanmu Fei nodded solemnly.
Li Tingyou was so groomed by these two girls that he lost his temper, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Embroidery village or bookstore." "Pick one, no negotiation.
Han Xing smiled and stroked his palms: "Cousin You, you are so good!" ”
She smiled as brightly as the sun, and her eyes were so bright that Li Tingyou could barely look at them directly.
Duanmufei on the side obediently picked up two boxes of sesame halva and said, "Cousin You, I'll help you carry it together." ”
After Han Xing put the white rabbit into the basket, he also consciously helped carry it, the cousins seemed to be very well-behaved, but Li Tingyou soon realized that he should not give in to these two girls at all, the two of them really had to inch in, and then not only visited the embroidery village and the bookstore, but also went to the musical instrument shop to buy a jade flute, and when they returned to the boat, it was already the willow tip on the moon.
He won't go shopping with these two girls anymore!
This night, Li Tingyou secretly swore in his heart, but the next day, he slapped himself, he ignored the two cousins, but he couldn't stop others from coming to him.
The emperor stayed in Jinshanyan for five days, and Li Tingyou accompanied his cousins to walk around the area for five days, not only walking through the surrounding places of interest and historical sites, but also buying half a boatload of things.
In these five days, the emperor was of course not idle, inspecting the river dam, visiting the scenic spots, observing the people's feelings, appreciating the people's customs, on the last day, the emperor issued an order to reduce the Jinshan weir of the land of the money and grain, and allocated 300,000 taels of silver for the rebuilding of the embankment, the local officials were grateful to Dade, and called the emperor graceful, the emperor was shengming.
On the night of the decree, the fleet continued its journey, winding south along the canal.
Since they set out from the Jing'anyi Wharf in Tateshi, the weather has been good for half a month, only a few light rains, the huge fleet of boats has been smoothly sailing on the wide river, as if walking on the ground, everything has returned to a calm and withered grass boat life.
In the five days of staying in Jinshanyan, Han Xing and Duanmu Fei did not go to the Taifu to take classes, Rao is Taifu is usually kind, they are very angry, almost did not go to the emperor to complain, so, when the boat was sailed again, poor Hanxing was punished by the Taifu a lot of homework, and could only come to Duanmu Fei to write together.
"Scarlet cousin, this palace is all up to you! Copying the "University" ten times and painting five paintings with the theme of "Southern Tour", I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it in three days alone! ”
Han Xing has always put her figure when she asks for help, not to mention, in front of her cousin, she has no figure and face to speak of, and her smile is courteous and flattering.
Bi Chan couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, even if our girl helps you copy it together, your handwriting is not the same." ”
Han Xing waved his hand, gave Bi Chan a "what do you know" look, and coquettishly pulled Duanmu Fei's sleeve and shook it, "Cousin Scarlet, this palace knows that you are the best." ”
Duanmu Fei was shocked by her delicate voice and had goosebumps, so she could only respond: "Can't I copy it for you?" ”
"Cousin Scarlet, you're the best." Han Xing rubbed in Duanmu Fei's arms like a cat, and felt that she was the most righteous, patted her chest and said, "When you dock next time, this palace will take you a 'micro-service private visit'!" ”
When it comes to playing, the cousins' eyes are shining.
Next, the two of them got together, and this rush was a whole day.
When she got the nine "University" copied by Duanmu, Han Xing felt that it was still a little incredible, if she hadn't watched Cousin Scarlet copy her first copy with her own eyes, she would almost suspect that the remaining nine were from her own hands, it was simply "magical".
Han Xing looked at it in amazement for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Cousin Scarlet, it's a pity that you don't imitate calligraphy and painting, it must be more real than the real one!" ”
Bi Chan looked at Han Xing at the side without saying a word, and said in her heart: Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, are you encouraging my girl to sell imitation paintings? Is that really appropriate?
Han Xing looked at the words one by one, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "What time is it?" ”
Before Duanmu Fei could react, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and replied, "It's just the beginning of the year." ”
"It's late!" Han Xing hurriedly pulled Duanmu Fei and ran to the inner room, "The dinner party over there in the dragon boat is about to start!" ”
The cousins hurriedly changed their clothes and dressed up again.
Rao is palace maid and the maids all sped up, but they were still late.
Tonight was just a very ordinary family banquet, so there were only a few princes and princesses and clan relatives who attended, and when the cousins arrived, the banquet had already begun, Duanmu crept to Anping and sat down, showed a silly smile to her, and tried to behave.
In Anping's opinion, Duanmufei is very cute no matter what she does, if it weren't for the fear of messing up her hairstyle, Anping would want to raise her hand and rub the top of her hair again.
It's a pity that my stupid son is not here.
The corners of An Ping's red lips curled slightly, and he turned his head and said a few delicious snacks to Duanmu Fei and asked her to try them.
Duanmu Fei, one password and one action.
Most people didn't pay attention to when Duanmu Fei came, they were watching the play.
There is a small stage set up in front of him, and he is singing a certain scene in "Shengping Treasure Raft" at the moment, the so-called "Shengping Treasure Raft" is "Journey to the West", but this is for the emperor to see, naturally a lot of plots have been changed, but all the ridicule of the Jade Emperor and those kings on the westward road are deleted, and there are many praises for Dasheng and the emperor.
Duanmu Fei felt bored, so he just lowered his head to eat vegetables, snacks and tea, and rated each dish by the way.
Well, the imperial chef that the emperor brought out is really the best in the imperial kitchen, most of the dishes are done just right, and today is a family banquet, and there are few people, so it is more convenient for the imperial chefs to play.
Duanmufei was very satisfied, and felt that so far, the biggest gain of this southern tour was probably that he had eaten quite a lot along the way.
Duanmufei was engrossed in eating the dishes, and the waiters serving at the banquet naturally noticed Duanmufei, carefully paying attention to what the overseer's righteous sister liked to eat, and diligently sent all the new hot dishes to Duanmufei and Anping's seats.
This mushroom bamboo shoot slices tofu crucian carp soup is really delicious, the fish soup is boiled into an attractive milky white, sweet and fragrant, delicious and delicious, with a faint green onion fragrance in the soup, very appetizing.
After Duanmufei drank a bowl, he took another bowl from the waiter, and drank two small bowls unconsciously.
Duanmu Fei picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and suddenly noticed a subtle change in the atmosphere around him, as if he had dropped a stone in the originally lifeless pool of water.
She looked curiously in the direction of the stage, and found that the play had already been performed by the king of the daughter country, and it was the king of the daughter country on the stage who caused the commotion, and it was the king of the daughter country who was called the beauty of the country and the charm of the stage, and the horn was singing charmingly: "...... Fortunately, the royal brother of the Tang King has descended, and I think it is a godsend! ”
The ten fingers are like spring bamboo shoots, the eyes are clear in the autumn waves, and when the lotus step moves lightly, the skirt is swaying, like a breeze blowing willows.
Duanmu Fei looked at the king of the daughter country on the stage, and blinked, although she hadn't seen her for a few days, she still recognized this Danjiao at a glance, wasn't this the Danjiao who played the green snake in a theater in Jinshanyan that day?!
Yes!
Duanmu Fei suddenly thought of something again, and those scattered beads were strung together in a line.
So that's the case, the theater in Jinshanyan is Feng Xiangyuan, and this Danjiao is Feng Lanchuan who was bought by Jin merchants!
It turned out that a certain prince bought it back in the name of Jin Shang to make the emperor happy, it's really boring!
Duanmu Fei didn't think much about it, and continued to watch the play with great interest.
Duanmu Fei knows that some people have some unique charm in the field they are good at, which can make people involuntarily focus on him, and can also make an originally boring drama more interesting.
For example, this Feng Lanchuan.
The king of his daughter country is really outstanding, with a smile and a smile, a anger and a rage, turning everyone upside down, firmly grabbing everyone's attention, even the emperor said yes in a row, and took the lead in applauding several times.
Naturally, the others applauded the emperor again and again, and with the warm applause, the atmosphere in the banquet room became more and more lively.
Half an hour later, the play "Daughter Country" came to an end.
Several actors stood in a row on the stage and respectfully saluted the emperor.
"Good, good!"
The emperor stroked his palm again, rewarded a few more plays, followed him to look at Mu Youchang, and praised a few words with a smile, "Ah Chang, this Dan horn you are looking for is good, the king of this daughter country sings noble and elegant, graceful and soft, it is really too much if you add one point, and lose color if you subtract one point." ”
"Thank you, father, for your praise." Mu Youchang hurriedly stood up, bowed his head to the emperor, and the corners of his mouth rose irrepressibly, "Father, this season Lanchuan not only sings well in the lead singer of the country, but also sings the green snake. ”
When Mu Youchang said this, the emperor was aroused, and said with a smile: "Then sing another "Harvest Green" and see." ”
In "The Legend of the White Snake", the white snake Bai Suzhen is naturally a well-deserved protagonist, which is why Mu Youchang did not let Ji Lanchuan sing the green snake at the beginning, but gradually provoked the emperor's interest with the king of the daughter country, and then went to "The Legend of the White Snake".
Those actors quickly went down to change their costumes, and Mu Youchang also sat back with a smile on his face, feeling that something good had finally happened these days.
He was immersed in joy, and he didn't notice it at all, Wang Tingwei, who was sitting not far away, was looking at him quietly, his eyes were bottomless, like a calm deep sea on the surface, and there was already an undercurrent surging underneath, as if it could swallow everything up......
