Chapter 100: A Strange Scheme
"The Han soldiers have been slighted, and they are embattled with singing."
The loud singing sound was accompanied by the sound of the huqin, and the people of the capital knew that this was a new repertoire performed by Dongfeng Shili again.
Dongfeng Shili is the most famous troupe in the capital.
Whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, they are all frequent visitors to Dongfeng Shili.
It was almost full, and the seats were full.
Even the princes and grandsons often become their guests.
In recent days, the repertoire staged in Dongfeng Shili is called "Mother's Tears".
This play was written and finalized by Zhou Yunluo and Zhou Yi, and the old Duchess personally came forward and spent money to invite Dongfeng Shili to perform it.
It tells the story of the big house harming the second room, driving away the biological mother, being unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial.
As soon as this play was performed by Dongfeng Shili, it was reminiscent of the recent rumors in the capital that Zhou Jinxuan of the Duke of Wu spoiled his wife and drove away his mother and the second room.
No one would have imagined that the second room would put such a thing on the stage.
There were a lot of people who came to see the play.
The viewers didn't really enter the play, but they all came to watch the play out of curiosity and excitement.
The applause continued.
At the end of the auditorium, two girls stood.
Zhou Zheng and Narcissus!
"The repertoire is well written, it can make people immersive, and the second room should have cost a lot of silver!" Zhou Zheng smiled faintly, but the applause of the audience was as harsh as a needle prick.
Narcissus said: "Girl, you can still laugh, the second room is simply too deceitful, such an insult to our reputation!" Thanks to our grandfather, he also helped them with the money to build the mansion, and they actually took revenge, so this is for us! ”
Zhou Zhengzheng frowned, "You can't let them continue this matter." The words of people are terrible, if the imperial doctor complains to the emperor because of this, my father's charge of disloyalty and filial piety will be confirmed. ”
"They are so vicious, they used to live together and didn't know, as soon as they separated, what kind of people would be revealed." Narcissus said.
Zhou Zhengzheng thought for a while, "Let's go back home first!" Let's see what my mother has to say. ”
A cloud of white smoke rose from the street corner pavement, and suddenly, a smell of aroma filled the nose.
On both sides of the road, there are all kinds of stalls, some selling melons and fruits, some selling jewelry, and some selling firewood and coal.
People who come to buy may walk slowly in groups of three or five, or leave directly after buying. It's bustling, it's not lively.
Zhou Jinxuan went to the field to follow Qin Cha to investigate the case, and it would take a few days to return. Zhou Zhengzheng could only find Lin Yu and explain the situation first.
"What? The second room actually slandered us like this? Even the old lady is confused? Lin Yu put down the needlework bandage in his hand and said.
"Mother, the old lady has always been confused." Zhou Zhengzheng said, "And the older you get, the more confused you become." ”
Lin Yu patted Zhou Zhengzheng on the shoulder, "Ah Zheng is not afraid, my mother will go to the second room and find them to theorize." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng shook his head, "Useless mother, it's useless to use good tactics for bad guys." ”
Lin Yu glanced at Zhou Zheng, "Ah Zheng, this matter will be solved by my mother." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng had no choice but to leave with Narcissus first.
"Narcissus, is there a way to borrow me a costume?" Zhou Zhengzheng looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes were confused, and asked.
Narcissus stood behind Zhou Zheng and replied: "My brother loves to watch plays, and occasionally wears a drama robe, and he has enjoyed the drama himself." He should have it over there. But girl, what do you want to borrow that thing for? ”
Zhou Zheng said: "I have an urgent need. ”
Narcissus said: "Girl, just now Mrs. said that you should leave the matter of the second room alone, and Mrs. will solve it." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng shook his head, "Mother is too kind, she will definitely not be the opponent of the second room." ”
In his previous life, Lin Yu never fought in the second room.
In this world, whoever can be ruthless will win.
Narcissus had no choice but to go over and ask Zhou Zheng for a robe for a play.
Her brother is also on an errand in the Wu Guogong Mansion, which is much more convenient.
Zhou Zheng looked at the mirror and tried it on.
"Girl, how can you wear this? This is worn by the play, the girl's identity is too noble, she can't wear it! Narcissus's frightened look made Zhou Zhengzheng laugh.
"What if you wear it? Will you change your identity if you wear it? Could it be that they can turn a crow into a phoenix if they take off their robes? ”
In a word, the blocked narcissus can't refute it, and I think what Zhou Zhengzheng said seems to be the same thing.
Zhou Zhengzheng took a few hairpins at random and put them in the dresser, "I didn't expect me to look so good in acting." Narcissus, let's go. ”
"Oh, girl, where are you going?" Narcissus almost said trotting to catch up with Zhou Zheng.
"Do you still need to talk? I'm wearing this dress, of course, it's like the east wind for ten miles! ”
The east wind is ten miles, and the applause is still coming one after another.
Zhou Zhengzheng said to Narcissus: "You show the shopkeeper of the East Wind Ten Miles the token of our Wu Guogong Mansion, and I will go and change the robe first." ”
"Girl, you really want to wear this!" Although Narcissus was puzzled, he did it first.
After all, Zhou Zheng is the master.
The shopkeeper of Dongfeng Shili, sure enough, is fast, since he is doing business to make money, the second room gives money, and he collects it, and the Wu Guogong Mansion gives the token plus the money, and he also accepts it.
He doesn't have trouble with money.
Zhou Zheng changed into his robes and entered the backstage, and Narcissus called a makeup painter to put on Zhou Zhengzheng's makeup.
Zhou Zhengzheng asked him to put on girly makeup for her, and she didn't need too much whitewashing.
"Girl, what do you want to do? The slave is so worried about you. "Narcissus is in a hurry, does Zhou Zheng want to act?
How can this be?
A noble girl from a family is already very disgraceful when she is known to run ten miles to the east wind, and she still sings on stage, will she still have a reputation at all? Who would dare to marry such a girl in the future!
Narcissus wanted to stop it, but Zhou Zheng didn't let him, "Narcissus, if you don't obey me, I'll send you away!" ”
"Girl, the slave would rather die than let you go to the stage!" Narcissus said, "Now in the audience, the slave maid can still let others not find the girl, if the girl is on the stage, the slave maid can only die to repay the kindness of the Wu Guogong Mansion!" ”
Zhou Zhengzheng shook his head, "Oh, Narcissus, what are you doing here?" It's not that you have to believe me, believe in me unconditionally, and I won't hurt myself. There must be a reason why I'm doing it now. ”
"But......" Narcissus hesitated.
Zhou Zheng patted Narcissus on the shoulder, "Don't worry!" When I come down, everything will change! The second room is to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot! ”
Narcissus remembered that Zhou Zhengzheng had always regarded her as a sister rather than a slave, and was moved, and thought that every time she encountered difficulties in the second room, Zhou Zhengzheng could save the day, and finally let go of her hand, "Girl, then let the slave and maid come to the stage for you." ”
