Chapter 190: Entering the Palace

Mrs. Jiang is probably in good spirits on happy occasions, but she didn't even face Fu Qiuning with a 10,000-year-old iceberg face, and asked lightly: "Brother Yi is there with you now, right?" How are their siblings doing? ”

Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Back to Mrs. Yi'er, after this incident, Brother Yi is much more sensible, although the third girl has a powerful mouth, she easily does not speak,. Just to Bayi Chinese~"

Mrs. Jiang nodded, looked at Fu Qiuning a few times, and saw that she was still dressed as plain as before, but she wore a beaded hairpin on her head. Although the tone of the answer is also light, far less clever and likable than Jiang Wanying and her daughter, but it is such a plain woman, she can't help but make people want to trust her and rely on her, and there seems to be some strength in her slender body.

Thinking of what she taught Jin Zangfeng's brothers and sisters, she stopped seven out of ten out of ten dislikes for Fu Qiuning, and stood up and said, "It's not too early, old lady, let's go over now." ”

Mrs. Fang also stood up, with some envy in her eyes, reasoning that she was also a wife, if she went to see the Queen Mother, she should have a share, but yesterday the Queen Mother named her, and only asked Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jiang to go, in fact, this was also the time when the Queen Mother was too happy, and the name was just to show her cordiality. Even if Mrs. Fang went to see her, she would only be happy, but that was a verbal decree, how could everyone dare to disobey? Naturally, it is to do things according to the rules.

Because the young children in the house were not there, Jin Shi also went to the court, so only now he has received an errand, and Jin Yu, who is idle at home, escorted his mother and wife to the palace gate, but saw that there was already a eunuch from Chengci Palace waiting here, so Jin Yu said a few words to him, and handed the person to him, and the eunuch led the sedan chair away. Grandpa Guo watched the sedan chair of his mother and others disappear into the distance, and couldn't help but show a relieved smile on his face.

As soon as they entered the Chengci Palace, they didn't have to be reported, and the two old grandmothers greeted them and gave a blessing to the old lady Jin who had just gotten off the sedan chair, and one smiled and said: "Old lady, but I haven't seen you for a few days."

Mrs. Jiang and Fu Qiuning didn't know this grandmother, but Mrs. Jin did. This is the old grandmother who married into the palace with the Queen Mother that day, and she is the most first-class confidant and reliable person in front of the Queen Mother, because she didn't dare to slack off, she hurriedly smiled: "Don't you dare to say that, I remember that Mama is still two years older than me, but it seems that this is more energetic than me." ”

In the middle of laughing, the two grandmothers introduced them into the side hall of Chengci Palace, and on the way, Mama Feng smiled at Fu Qiuning and said: "Grandma's play can make the Queen Mother like the old man." I just didn't finish singing, I didn't sleep well all night last night, and I only asked me what kind of play this was, but I hated my wife for not having talent. I couldn't make up a story, so she didn't go to bed until the third watch later, and got up early this morning, saying that I should let you come earlier, for fear that you would have any scruples, if you came before noon. There is still a morning to come. What can I do? ”

While talking, he entered the house, only to see that the layout of this room was similar to that of the main house of Kangshouyuan, but it was much larger than the main house of the old lady, and the decoration was naturally much more exquisite and luxurious. But it doesn't give people a sense of vulgarity, and I can't help but secretly say that it is really royal. If these antiques were in modern times, they might not be priceless anymore, would they?

Just turned the screen. I saw the Queen Mother sitting on the couch, and when I saw them coming in, she smiled and said: "I heard what you were talking about inside, it must be this old man who arranged me again, she said to you that she was not allowed to believe anything, and the mourning family slept well last night." ”

Fu Qiuning was very surprised in her heart, the Queen Mother she saw today was not as majestic as she was yesterday, and the joke of "old goods" actually came out of the mouth of the Queen Mother of a country, how did she feel awkward. (Just to Bayi Chinese.) Just thinking about it, the Queen Mother over there probably saw her surprise, so she smiled and said, "What? Does it mean that this queen mother is different from yesterday's? Don't worry, there was no change, but yesterday in the Qingbi Palace, I was the emperor and the minister, and I, the queen mother of a country, also had to hold the shelf of the mother's honor in the world. Now it's on my own turf, and I'm holding that score, isn't it tired and tired of me? ”

As she spoke, she ordered someone to give Mrs. Jiang a seat, then patted the small table on the couch, and said to Mrs. Jin: "Come and sit opposite the mourning family, we two old bones, no match for their young people, sitting in this place, when you are tired, you can still be crooked, and no one dares to laugh at us." ”

Mrs. Jin hurriedly said a few words with a smile, and then went to sit on the couch, and the Queen Mother forced her to sit inside, and said with a smile: "Since you are in awe of the mourning family, you will sit in it a little, and when you see me crooked, you are not allowed to sit upright, but people laugh at me for being old." If you are crooked before me, then I will be happy. ”

Fu Qiuning almost fell in love with the queen mother who returned to her true colors almost at this moment. Seeing that the grandmothers and palace maids around the Queen Mother were all bowing their heads and smiling, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, secretly saying No wonder this woman can survive under the intrigue in the palace and become the Queen Mother, enjoying the infinite glory now. This is all because of a good attitude, which shows how important a good attitude is. If you only look forward to the high places and the cold, and you are cold-hearted in calculations everywhere, even if you become the queen mother, what fun is there at all.

The old queen mother couldn't wait to let Fu Qiuning sing this "Tianxian Pei", only to make Qiuning dumbfounded, and said to the queen mother: "In this play that day, when the master taught me, he said that how many people should sing this play, although I can sing it myself, it is not interesting after all, and let me choose some excellent female plays, and then show them to the Queen Mother after rehearsal, it will be beautiful at that time, and now let's sing a few paragraphs first." ”

The Queen Mother said: "It's okay, there is no musical instrument at this time, it is indeed worse." So Qiu Ning sang a few paragraphs, and told the content of the whole play to the old queen mother, needless to say, the story of Dong Yong and the seven fairies naturally won the queen mother's sympathy and sighs. It's just that the old man thought about it and couldn't help but wonder: "How can the mourning family remember that this story is not like this?" It is said that there was a family of two brothers, and the elder brother was so vicious that he drove the younger brother out and gave him only an old cow, and the old cow told the younger brother to go to the river, and in the evening, sure enough, several beautiful women came to bathe......

As soon as Fu Qiuning heard it, he knew that this was the story of "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", but he didn't dare to interrupt, so he had to listen patiently, because there were adult palace maids around, and there were no unmarried young ladies and princesses, so the old queen mother had no scruples, and after she finished speaking, Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, this story is not Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, it is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and there is also Huangmei Opera, but it is too difficult to rehearse a play, and it is not easy to sing this play well in the past four months." After the Civilization Conference of All Nations, the concubine ordered someone to rehearse other plays for the Queen Mother to see. ”

The old queen mother laughed and said: "No wonder, it turns out that the mourning family is mistaken." I seem to have heard the story of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies in a trance, but it is too far away to remember. There are even other plays, so dare to be in love. Can you sing this Cowherd and Weaver Girl Fu? If you can sing, sing a paragraph to the mourners. ”

"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" is also a classic repertoire of Huangmei Opera, the famous Huangmei Opera actors Yan Fengying and Wang Shaofang also performed this story, so Fu Qiuning is also familiar with it, and when he heard the Queen Mother say this, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "There are many hanging melons and fruits on the shelf, the wind blows the rice sea and the golden waves, the night is quiet and still hears people's laughter, in the end, there is a lot ......of joy in the world" is the most famous excerpt in "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl".

After singing a song, everyone was intoxicated, and there was no breathing in the huge room, but at this time, footsteps sounded, and then a palace maid came in and said a thousand blessings: "Back to the Queen Mother, Zhang Leshi and Liu Leshi have come over, and they didn't let the slaves and maids make noise outside, but after listening to Mrs. Hou's tune at this time, let the slaves and maids pass it on." ”

Fu Qiuning's heart moved, and secretly said yes, Jin Fengju said that he wanted the musicians to draw up a score based on my tune, this Zhang Liu and the others thought that they would be a master, but I don't know if they can really make up a score for a play, after all, this is too complicated, and it also requires the cooperation of a variety of musical instruments, of course it is impossible to expect it to be like modern times, and it would be good to have six or seven percent charm.

While thinking about it, I saw two palace maids put down a bead curtain, and then two people walked in and knelt down behind the bead curtain, one of them said: "Back to the queen mother's words, the lower official came to the emperor's order to score music for the Hou Ye's wife, and I just listened to a song outside the door, and it was really tactful and melodious." It's just that the soundtrack is a little difficult, but give Xia Guan two months to wait, when it can be completed, I don't know if Mrs. Hou has requirements for musical instruments, and tell Xia Guan, we will go back and select people. ”

Fu Qiuning tried her best to recall the musical instruments played in Huangmei Opera and Yue Opera, including pipa, dulcimer, guqin, guzheng, gongs and drums, cymbals, flutes, dong flutes, etc., and after she finished speaking, she said: "This is my estimate, when it comes to writing the score, you yourself look at what instruments need to be added or subtracted, and do everything, there are still four months before the Civilization Association of All Nations, and everyone still has time to run in." ”

When the two musicians heard Fu Qiuning say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then withdrew. After a while, another female official walked in, saying that the song and dance girl was ready, and asked Qiu Ning to choose the person himself.

So Fu Qiuning also retired, with the female officer came to a water pavilion, the place where the eyes looked around, there were vast smoke waves, dozens of acres of lotus flowers were planted nearby, at this time it was the time to receive the lotus leaves infinitely green, the lotus flowers were erected in twos and threes or white or pink lotus arrows, at this time it was not the season when the lotus flowers were in full bloom, and there were not many lotus flowers that even hit the buds, but just look at the lotus leaves like jade, you are next to me and I am next to you, I have felt relaxed and happy, a breeze is blowing, and those lotus leaves are all undulating like blue waves, The view is stunning. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
