Chapter Twenty-Five: Drunken Beating the Golden Branch
What kind of pot with what lid, what kind of master will have what kind of maid, the maid stepped forward arrogantly: "Shopkeeper Wang, you can't scream nonsense, my young lady has now reconciled with the surnamed Liu, don't ruin my young lady's reputation." ”
The shopkeeper of the king pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and said in his heart You are yelling here, and you don't know who is ruining your reputation, this year, the woman and the divorce are different from the divorce in the future, and they are also despised.
"It's the villain's fault, it's Miss Li, Miss Li."
Mrs. Liu's maiden name is Li, there is only one brother in the family, the two brothers and sisters have depended on each other since childhood, Li Yuemei is a woman who sews and repairs to work for others, and finally he actually confessed to a imperial examination jinshi, and now his brother is on an errand in the household department, but he is in charge of the emperor's money bag, and she also has money, but she has not to make up for the hardships she suffered in the previous years.
The shopkeeper Wang knew that her previous husband was found when her family had not yet made a fortune, although he was a butcher, but over the years she had taken money from her husband's family to supplement her brother, and now that his brother was out, she turned her head and left.
Miss Li didn't know the shopkeeper's disdain for her in his heart, but she still held her head high, glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes, and asked in a condescending tone, "May I ask you, is there really no seat in this courtyard?" How did I hear that a private seat on the second floor had been sitting idle? ”
"This..." The shopkeeper Wang knew what this Miss Li was for, but he could only tell the truth: "This elegant seat was ordered by Huai Ye to be kept for the guests." ”
Miss Li sneered and interrupted him: "You say, how much silver?" ”
"It's really not a matter of money."
"What? Aren't you opening a theater just to make money? Now talk to me about it? Miss Li didn't have the patience to listen to his words in circles, "Let me tell you, if you still want to open this opera garden, you will weigh it yourself." ”
Although the shopkeeper Wang greeted people with a smile, he was not temperless, and the sister of a small household officer dared to be so rampant, and the smile on his face was gone: "I'm really sorry." ”
Li Yuemei's face changed, and she was about to scold, but the girl behind her pulled her sleeve and whispered in her ear: "Miss, on the street, why should we bother with a shopkeeper." ”
Li Yuemei reluctantly suppressed her anger and smiled: "Shopkeeper Wang, you said that the elegant seat is empty anyway, since no one is here, why waste it?" I also like to listen to Huaiye's play.,You see it's empty anyway.,It's better to be empty.。。 ”
Before Li Yuemei finished speaking, she saw the shopkeeper's face suddenly change, and the colored folds on both sides of the smile seemed to be chrysanthemums, and she looked behind her: "Miss Ning, you are here." ”
Ning Yi was bored in the house, and asked Ah Yue where Qin Yunhuai went, only to remember that she had heard the play of this Shuangxi Opera Troupe before, and she and Qin Yunhuai had not only met once, and originally wanted to listen to it often, but after that, there were too many things to forget.
At this time, I remembered that I was fine, so I called Ah Yue to send her to the theater.
Ning Yi glanced at Li Yuemei, didn't know what was going on, and nodded towards the shopkeeper with a soft smile: "Shopkeeper Wang." ”
Li Yuemei saw that the shopkeeper Wang, who had a tough attitude just now and refused to give in to him, suddenly seemed to have changed a person, and smiled enthusiastically: "Miss Ning, you haven't been here for a long time, hurry up and please." ”
The shopkeeper Wang was about to enter the door when he greeted Ning Yi.
Li Yuemei on the side was ignored like this for the first time, at home, her brother pitied her and sacrificed a lot for him, so she listened to her in everything, that is, Heli was her word, but this also caused her to see her position clearly, and she only thought that his brother was out, and she also ascended to heaven.
"Stop!"
Li Yuemei sneered: "Shopkeeper Wang, business is not like this, you said that the seat is full, and now you have led people over?" Is this a bully to see me? ”
Shopkeeper Wang frowned, although doing business pays attention to greeting each other with a smile, but there are also difficult ways to deal with difficult people, not to mention just a petty official of the household, this Beijing city is smashed down with a rod, nine out of ten are relatives of the emperor, and they are not afraid of things in this theater.
As soon as the shopkeeper Wang was about to speak, Ning Yi on the side spoke first.
It was still the soft voice, as silent as flowing water, but it entered my heart: "This girl is afraid that she has misunderstood, I am not here to listen to the play, so the shopkeeper did not deliberately deceive you." She also heard about it from Li Yuemei's words, but she was too lazy to fight for these words, and she didn't want some ugly words to come out of this pear orchard, so she stopped the shopkeeper and planned to go over.
Li Yuemei didn't believe a word: "You're not here to listen to the play?" Could it be that you came to this opera garden to eat? I don't know when this theater will still have this business? ”
The smile on the corner of Ning Yi's mouth remained unchanged, as if she didn't hear the thorn in her words: "What kind of business this theater does depends on whether the boss is willing to do it, buy and sell, you buy and I sell, it's a matter of you and me, isn't it?" ”
After speaking, seeing Li Yuemei frowning and not knowing what she was thinking, she walked towards the door without waiting for her to open her mouth and turned around, Li Yuemei was embarrassed by her words, and was about to follow.
Li Yuemei looked at the closed door and gritted her teeth: "What does she mean by this?" ”
Ning Yi ignored the reaction of the people outside the door, and asked the shopkeeper Wang on the side: "Is Boss Qin on stage today?" ”
"Yes, your place, Huai Ye has always kept it for you."
As soon as Ning Yi sat down, the play just began.
The gong sounded, and the thick curtain opened.
Stepping on the drums, the people in the play appear step by step.
Today's play is a golden branch.
Tang, Guo Ziyi is both peaceful and revered. Tang Suzong betrothed his daughter Xu to Guo Ziyi's son Guo Xuan. Guo Ziyi and his wife will have 80 double birthdays, the family will congratulate each other, the only princess will not come out to pay respects, Guo Yu will be angry, and the princess will beat the princess with drunkenness, and the princess will cry and return to the palace to sue the queen. Guo Ziyi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately tied his son. Bear the guilt of the temple and ask for sin. Tang Wang smiled and said: "Don't be stupid, don't be deaf, don't be a family." Why ask about trivial matters for children? "Guo Ziyi is an. The father and son thanked him again and withdrew.
Ning Yi listened with great interest, if Yun Liu was here, she would definitely disdain the rude and willful princess, although she herself didn't love those rules.
But I'm afraid that I will also be envious, and the princess of the Tang Dynasty is afraid that she is the most comfortable.
"Good!" The audience applauded, and all kinds of rewards were thrown to the stage like no money.
Ning Yi glanced down, but accidentally found an old acquaintance.
