Chapter 111: Humanoid Puppet
Dong E was in a daze.
If it weren't for the reminder from the person next to her, she wouldn't have reacted.
"The people's daughter Dong E visits the Queen Mother."
"Up."
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Feng Wanyue admits that she is not a nosy person.
It's just that this woman has a bloody disaster on her face, and she probably only has a few hours left to live.
In this way, wouldn't something happen in Weiyang Palace?
She curled her lips, "What horn are you singing?" ”
Dong E shook her head, "Back to the Queen Mother, the drama troupe of the Minnu's family does not sing opera, but uses puppets to tell stories. ”
"Puppet show?"
"Yes."
"No wonder you want to raise the stage, the mourning family knows, you should also go down and prepare."
"Yes."
After returning to the stage tremblingly, Dong E was surrounded by the Dong family.
Everyone was very curious about what the Queen Mother called her to say, after all, if she could be appreciated by the nobles in the palace, would she be afraid that she would not have a good life in the future?
However, even Dong E herself didn't know why so many people didn't look for the little queen mother, but they just came to her for questioning.
……
Today they are playing the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
The poignant love between people and immortals, coupled with the touching narration dialogue, made many palace people present cry.
Feng Wanyue supported her cheek with one hand, but her attention was not on this, "These puppets are very ingenious, and when they put on their clothes, they look like real people." ”
The pearl on the side didn't think much about it.
She responded, "Yes, Queen Mother, I heard that many people did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to buy puppets made by the Dong family, and they were fired for ten thousand dollars for a while. ”
"A hard-to-find puppet? Then the Dong family should be very rich, why does it look a little down? ”
"The Queen Mother doesn't know, the Dong family will make money, but there are also people who lose, Dong E's sister's brother is a gambler, he took all the money earned by the Dong family to gamble, not to mention, and owed a lot of debts, but unfortunately their family is patriarchal, just a few scoldings, poor Dong E girl is nearly twenty years old, and she has not yet been allowed to marry others, and she has become an old girl."
"I see."
"If you don't like to watch the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the slave maid will tell them to play something else?"
"No need, it's almost over anyway."
"Yes."
At the end of a scene, Dong's father walked out from behind the stage.
Because he found that the Queen Mother was not very interested, he specially came over and asked, "Queen Mother, what type of stories do you like?" ”
Feng Wanyue's lips hooked slightly, "Don't worry, the mourning family just wants to ask how these humanoid puppets are made." ”
Dong's father was slightly stunned.
can only answer truthfully, "Because the puppet is used frequently, so the wood must be of the best wood, followed by carving, this kind of meticulous work is carved by the slave, the daughter and the daughter-in-law, and the last process is lacquer, but this is the ancestral secret recipe of the slave, it is inconvenient to elaborate, and please forgive the Queen Mother." ”
Feng Wanyue bowed slightly.
She said in a light tone, "It sounds very troublesome, but being able to make puppets vivid is also a kind of ability, and the mourning family appreciates it very much." ”
"Empress Dowager Xie praised."
"Keep acting, you can act whatever you want, and the mourning family is just passing the time."
“…… Be. ”
Father Dong returned to the back of the stage.
He looked at Dong E, who was holding the puppet and talking to himself, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Xiao'e, didn't I tell you to throw this puppet, what are you doing with the tattered things!" ”
Dong E subconsciously hugged the puppet in her arms, and patted it on the back and said several times, 'Not afraid, not afraid'.
"Dad, it's just dirty, just wait until I go back and wash it, I don't want to throw it away!"
