Chapter 19: Stage Premiere
Due to the great success of the Duanyang Festival Flower Boat Race, tickets for the first performance of the Shark Legend stage play were quickly sold out.
Zhou Jingrong invited Master Zhou's family and the Fu family to come to watch, and arranged a seat for them in the best viewing area.
Master Zhou sat down and exchanged greetings with Mrs. Fu.
Zhou Jingrong ran over, affectionately held Master Zhou's arm and said, "Dad, I won you in the flower boat, you won't be unhappy, right?" ”
Master Zhou glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Is your father such a stingy person?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Qi Wuju for a week, and finally his eyes fell back on Zhou Jingrong, feeling very pleased, and said approvingly: "From the Zhouji Teahouse with a lot of doors to the Qi Wuju full of friends today, it can be seen that you have put a lot of thought into it." Rong Niang grew up and knew that she was responsible. ”
Zhou Jingrong looked at Master Zhou's loving face, and her heart was warm.
In her previous life, her parents were busy with work, and after they died young, she never felt the love of her parents. Now that I have lived again, I have made up for this regret, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
The atmosphere between the father and daughter was warm, Fu Jiao couldn't see it, and insinuated that "Miss Nasang is sought after by tens of thousands of people, but in the final analysis, she is just a kabuki, like duckweed." This woman is still looking for a wishful husband, spreading branches and leaves for her husband's family, and teaching her husband and children is the right way. ”
Then, she muttered in a disdainful whisper: "No matter how proficient you are in business, it's not like showing your head and causing gossip, how different from a kabuki." ”
That old man Zhou was talking to Fu Yunshen, and when he heard this meaning, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, I know that you scholars are noble and disdainful of yellow and white things. But although the word money is vulgar, it is indispensable to the way of life. Zhou is useless, there are no children under his knees, and this property will have to rely on Rong Niang to take care of it in the future. After all, Rong Niang is the eldest daughter, and the responsibility is greater, so it is inevitable to spend more thought, and you have to be more considerate. ”
Fu Yunshen looked respectful, and said again and again: "What my father-in-law said is that my son-in-law is not a pedantic person. Rong Niang is good at this and takes pleasure in it, even if the son-in-law can't help one or two, he will definitely give his full support. ”
Master Zhou looked at Fu Yunshen with a smile, nodded with satisfaction, and felt more and more that this family affair was lovely.
Zhou Jingrong listened to Fu Yunshen's words, her eyelids jumped, and she couldn't help but glance at him, but she was ignored by the other party, and she was very angry in her heart.
He showed such a deep sense of righteousness, how can they reconcile and separate in the future, is it difficult to put all the blame on her? This scheming man!
Fu Jiao listened to the two of them singing and harmonizing, and didn't take her seriously at all, and was very annoyed.
But she didn't expect that Master Zhou would attach so much importance to Zhou Jingrong's daughter, and listen to him, would it be difficult to pass on the family property to her?
The financial strength of the Zhou family is second to none in Puhe County, and it is also famous in the entire Yanping County. Even if you can only get half of the family property, the eighteen dowry is not uncommon. Zhou Jingrong is a woman in the end, and it is not the Fu family who benefits in the end.
Thinking of this, Fu Jiao snorted arrogantly and stopped talking.
Lin Shutong sat with Aunt Xue's daughter Zhou Jingshu and talked to her: "The second cousin can take care of such a big teahouse in an orderly manner, it's really amazing!" ”
Zhou Jingshu couldn't hear others praise Zhou Jingrong the most, and snorted contemptuously: "Women should be proud of their virtues, words, and skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what is there to show off like this?" ”
Lin Shutong said: "If you talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the second cousin is also good at it, just look at the popularity of the legend of the merman." ”
Zhou Jingshu's surprised apricot eyes were round: "You said that the legend of the merman was made by her?" ”
Lin Shutong nodded, slightly questioning: "Yes, don't you know?" ”
Zhou Jingshu didn't answer, but looked at Zhou Jingrong suspiciously, full of puzzlement, and muttered, "That idiot, how is it possible." ”
Lin Shutong looked at Zhou Jingshu's reaction, his eyes flashed slightly, thoughtful.
Everyone had different thoughts, but they were soon attracted by the wonderful plot on stage.
When they saw that the merman clan was slaughtered by greedy humans and almost wiped out, Mrs. Fu and other female dependents shed tears.
Fu Raohua lay in Wu's arms and sobbed: "Mother, the mermaid clan is too pitiful. ”
Wu wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and sighed, "Hey, yes." ”
Fu Jiao held back for a night, and finally seized the opportunity to criticize Zhou Jingrong, and immediately fried the pot: "The old lady is old, where can she withstand such violent emotional ups and downs?" It's really unfilial for you to let her watch this kind of hurtful drama and ignore her body! ”
Master Zhou heard Fu Jiao accusing Zhou Jingrong, and his face changed in displeasure. But because it was his daughter's family matter, it was inconvenient for him to speak, so he could only hold a turbid breath in his chest.
Zhou Jingrong stepped forward to appease, and Mrs. Fu waved her hand and said: "Drama is like life, it is touching because it can empathize." Rong Niang, you can discharge such a play, your talent is not inferior to Erlang, you have a heart! ”
Mrs. Fu's evaluation can be described as extremely high, and Zhou Jingrong is a little embarrassed.
Fu Jiao pursed her lips, but because of Old Lady Fu, she didn't dare to say anything.
After the play, the actors took a curtain call.
The audience was enthusiastic and threw all kinds of gold, silver and jade, flowers and vegetables and fruits onto the stage to express their love for the drama and the actors.
Zhou Jingrong sent everyone away and went to visit the backstage.
Qin Sang was removing his makeup, and the dresser was full of various gifts from the visitors, among which there was a homemade mermaid puppet.
Zhou Jingrong picked up the puppet, his eyes were shining, and he was very excited, as if he had seen a steady stream of silver into the money bag.
"Wow, the legend of the merman actually has peripheral products!"
