Chapter 43: Being a Man.
The Queen Mother lives alone in Cining Palace, and it is always a little deserted, and it is not a few people who send the Gege of the harem concubines to Cining Palace.
Closer, isn't the fifth princess, who is our father's sister-in-law, also raised by the Queen Mother? In the end, she lost the favor of the Queen Mother, and finally went to Chengde to have a difficult birth.
After all, I still can't be a person.
Of course, Fu Jin will not say these words to Mama.
Lowered his head and continued to check the account book, the master spent a lot of money outside, even if the master was thrifty in a few Baylors, but the entertainment on face had to spend a lot.
It's really not enough to feed a large family, so you have to look at your own industry at this time.
Staring at the ledger, Fujin was worried, there were many restaurants in the capital, and his own family was not the most profitable.
I look like a lot of running water in a month, but I don't have much to use it in twos and threes.
,
。
Qi Yu sat next to the Queen Mother and took over the work of the little eunuch in her hands.
Took a soup spoon and put a bowl of dried shrimp and tofu pot: "Queen Mother, you try this, the tofu is the old tofu specially made in the dining room, white and bright, tender but not loose, put the shrimp, simmer in the broth, the taste is good." ”
The Queen Mother had no appetite in the first place.
Hearing Qi Yu say this, he was still a little hungry, at this age, he naturally knew that eating a little more would be better.
It's a good thing to be in the mood to eat.
He took the small bowl and held the ordinary black nanmu chopsticks.
I put a piece of tofu in my mouth, it was a little hot, the taste was good, it was very soft and smooth, it was said to be old tofu, which was more tender than tender tofu.
Chew it gently, and the flavor inside is even stronger.
"It's delicious." The Queen Mother put down the chopsticks in her hand, and felt strange in her heart, if she saw this thing on weekdays, she would definitely not want to eat it.
But this will happen.
Looking at Shu Mulu Xiao Gege staring greedily at the bowl in front of her, he felt that the taste was wonderful.
"Don't wait, try it yourself."
"Thank you for the reward." Qi Yuxiao's eyes were bent.
The big black and white eyes narrowed into a slit, and the pink lips outlined a curvature, looking very sweet.
The more the Queen Mother looked at it, the more she liked it, and she regretted that she had released people out of the palace so early.
Qi Yu ate a few bites of shrimp and tofu, stood up and sandwiched some shiitake mushrooms and vegetables into the bowl.
A plate of green dishes, looking at it, is very delicious, but it is a little far away, if you want to eat it, if you don't ask the eunuch to help, you can only stand up by yourself.
Drink less, eat more vegetables, and can't stand up.
This is already a knowledge in later generations, and if you eat with the Queen Mother, you naturally don't need to drink.
After getting closer, Qi Yu found that there was not even a single oil flower seed on this dish.
Could it be boiled?
Put it in your mouth and chew it, the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms has been embedded in the green vegetables, in addition to these, there is also a fragrant taste.
I don't know how this dish is fried.
"This one is delicious, too." Qi Yu picked up the chopsticks and dialed some vegetarian dishes for the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother chewed a few bites, the dish was very tender, there was no hard fiber, even if the teeth were not good, it was very easy to chew.
"I thought you were a little monkey, but now it seems that you are a glutton."
"It's not gluttony, only love and food in this world can't be disappointed."
"The little monkey can also play meditation."
"Queen Mother, this is not a Zen machine, this is the true meaning of life."
Qi Yu corrected it, although there may be no hope for love, there are still a lot of delicacies.
Can't live up to it, can't live up to it.
"When you say that, the mourning family feels sorry for these delicacies if they don't finish eating these."
"No, so the Queen Mother, you have to eat more, and after eating, let's rehearse the White Snake together."
The Queen Mother figured out some flavors at this time, and originally thought it was Shu Muluge's foolishness, but now it doesn't seem to be the case: "Why, the mourning family still has to rehearse with you." ”
"But no, you just stand on the sidelines and watch, whoever doesn't rehearse well, you can take her out and teach her alone."
"......" is not very difficult.
The Queen Mother accepted.
The two of them were almost full of food, and the little eunuch withdrew his meal.
The Queen Mother passed a few palace maids and eunuchs from outside, and handed them to Qi Yu to let Qi Yu take people to toss, what about her, just watched quietly, Cining Palace has not been so lively for a long time, the Queen Mother squinted her eyes, her face was enjoyable, and when she was older, she liked to be happy and happy.
Qi Yu was not idle standing in the crowd, and the people in the palace were all actors.
There must be no problem with acting skills or anything, and rehearsing the Legend of the White Snake with these people may be able to improve your acting skills.
It's not possible to be very tall, in the fourth master's mansion, those who are not human spirits have long been reincarnated, and the acting skills of being very high are imminent.
Write the lines with a pen and assign a few sentences to each person. Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, Xu Xian, Fahai and Xu Xian's brothers and sisters-in-law are all played.
When it was Guanyin's turn, he didn't dare to step forward, and in this era, he was still more in awe of ghosts and gods.
Qi Yu coughed and pulled Man'er forward: "It's you, it's blessed at first glance." ”
Hearing Qi Yu say this, Man'er stopped her chest, but she was just a blessed one.
Can afford Guanyin.
The preparation was a little hasty, there were no props and costumes at this time, so everything could only be simplified, and with the little eunuch and the little palace maid memorizing the lines skillfully, the rehearsal began.
。
。
The eunuch who read the narration stood behind the screen, pinched his voice and sang: Save the suffering and save the Guanyin, Emei gold top cash body. Good men and women come to worship, referring to the people who are destined to sail Pudu.
In front of the screen, the palace maid who plays Bai Suzhen is draped in a white curtain tent, with two chopsticks on her head, and white silk is tied at both ends of the chopsticks, dancing in place.
Guanyin, played by Man'er, sat on a stool, with a cinnabar mole in the center of her forehead, and her black hair spread out and was covered by a white tablecloth: "Who kneel." ”
……
The day was spent in rehearsals.
The Queen Mother looked interesting and participated in the performance herself. followed the palace maid and eunuch until dark, and the queen mother found that she didn't take a nap.
"It's gone, rehearse another day, it's not too early, little monkey, you should go back."
Man'er tore off the tablecloth tied around his head and looked out, but not all the palace lights were lit up: "Ah, it's dark?" ”
"It's time to go back." Qi Yu put the script in his hand here with the Queen Mother, and after saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, he walked out.
Walked out of Cining Palace and saw the fourth master outside the vermilion gate.
The brisk steps were suddenly retracted, and the smile on his face was distorted, and he reacted for a while before he made a flattering smile: "Master, why are you here, are you waiting for a minion?" After speaking, he looked at the fourth master shyly.
Fortunately, it was night, even if there were palace lights, it was not bright enough, and the fourth master didn't see the smile on Qi Yu's face that was about to twist.
said lightly: "The Queen Mother's will." ”
"That's it, then you go in, the slave will go home first." After Qi Yu finished speaking, she lowered her head, thinking in her heart that after the fourth master entered, she would leave immediately, and she was quite tired after playing in Cining Palace for a day, but she didn't have the heart to fight with the fourth master.
