April came in Mr. Huang's ardent anticipation, the business of the longevity class was surprisingly good, and at the beginning of the month, the manager of Wanxiu Lou, Mr. Min, personally came to talk to Aunt Qin for a while. Seeing off Chief Min, Aunt Qin came to discuss Qin Yu: "You said that we should go back to Wanxiu Building, after all, it will be good for the future development of our immortal class." ”

Qin Yu's new play has been completed, and Mr. Huang is singing word by word, she said: "Of course it's good to be able to go, but everyone who goes to that place is to listen to the play, we can make people happy, but it is not a long-term solution." I think you'll still find a way to get the new drama out there. ”

Aunt Qin also knew that this was a top priority, but it was a pity that there were not enough people in the longevity class. It's okay for a few apprentices to sing excerpts, and they don't have the ability to take the lead.

Qin Yu came up with an idea: "Can you find the people from the original immortal class?" ”

Aunt Qin smiled bitterly: "It takes two or three months to come and go, and it takes another two or three months to rehearse, and now I have a lot of income, if I go all out to rehearse new plays, it is inevitable that I can't keep up with my energy in burlesque......"

Qin Yu groaned: "You see if this will work." You and Mr. Huang focus on rehearsing new plays, after all, this is the foundation of the Changsheng class, and I am also responsible for burlesque, firstly, the new repertoire of burlesque must be constantly updated, and secondly, I am also good at this......"

Aunt Qin also felt that what Qin Yu said was reasonable, so she immediately nodded and agreed, and said, "You still have to bother with the matter of Wanxiulou, Mr. Huang and I are not long-term people" and other words, which is equivalent to handing over the future development direction of the immortal class to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu didn't refuse, of course he agreed. Then he turned around and lowered his pillow and took out four gold bracelets and handed them to Aunt Qin: "This thing is too finely made, you twist it into sections, use it leisurely, there is no problem with this year's living expenses." Let's wait for the new play! ”

Aunt Qin didn't say anything, and took it in her arms.

Since then, Qin Yu began to run to the East Market often, occasionally to the West Market, often detour to Yongxin Fang, every time he would pass by the corner gate of the inner house of the Hou Bo Mansion, and occasionally heard the bits and pieces of those mothers-in-law, Qin Yu would be very happy, and then he would buy a bag of maple candy for Kou'er and go back.

In the middle of April, the birthday festival of Shengjing held a very grand celebration, under the organization of the court, the streets of Shengjing are lit up, the streets are cleaned, from the 10th noon gate began to accept the birthday gift of the people to the queen mother, all the people who give the birthday gift can get a red envelope, on the night of the 12th, the queen mother in the emperor, the queen accompanied by the emperor and the queen in the Tiananmen Gate Tower to accept the people's congratulations, the Forbidden City is lit up all night, the east and west cities have the hall meeting organized by the big businessmen, the juggling team performs, The streets and alleys of Shengjing are hung with red lanterns of a uniform style designated by the imperial court, and Shengjing has become a night sky, which is more lively than the Spring Festival.

That day, Yiwenlou's business was very light, and the business was closed early, Qin Yu made the decision to send three cents to each person, and everyone went to Tiananmen Square to watch the fireworks together, and then everyone went to the West Market to eat snacks and buy things in the East Market, and came back in the middle of the night.

Qin Yu, who has always been very quiet, was also very different that day, not only taking the lead in making noise about going here and there, but also drilling into lively places, and even the active buckles were a little unbearable.

On the way back, Aunt Qin kept holding Qin Yu's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would lose it, and asked her, "Where do you want to play?" ”

Qin Yu smiled but did not answer.

Aunt Qin sighed and said, "The results of the concubine selection will be announced in the next two days......

Qin Yu gradually slowed down, and the two of them fell behind everyone: "Auntie, don't worry, what I promised will definitely be done, and I won't give up halfway." Thank you so much for this time! ”

Aunt Qin simply stopped: "Girl, you have to think clearly." This gate is as deep as the sea...... The girl might as well stay in our drama troupe, with the girl's talent, she will definitely be able to make a name for herself in the pear garden. There was a sense of persuading her not to go back.

Qin Yu, no, Gu Xiyan, but smiled silently. She is not really a fledgling "rookie", that is, in the 21st century of prosperous science and technology, an orphan who wants to survive in society has to pay twice or even several times more hardships than ordinary people, let alone in this feudal society where men are inferior to women. Sometimes, beauty is also a burden.

Gu Xiyan thinks that he has passed the age of being angry, but he has also passed the age of not knowing the world. It's one thing to cling to the forces of the Gu Mansion, but if she is manipulated like a puppet, then she won't sit still.

So she chose to settle in the longevity class, so she chose to write a play to try her survival index...... Put yourself in a position where you can attack and retreat, you can quickly know the latest developments in the Gu Mansion and the court, and you can also know the primitive civilization of this country by understanding the living conditions of these people at the bottom of the Xia Kingdom.

Aunt Qin also persuaded her to stay: "Girl, you have to think clearly." Mr. Huang said, with your talent, within ten years, no, three or five years, you can replace Mr. Wu......"

Gu Xiyan looked at the fireworks in the sky and interrupted Aunt Qin's words indifferently: "No, there are some things that are not my own. That's not true, it's okay to use it for emergencies, it's okay to use it for life, that's not okay......"

Her talents are in management, not in writing.

Through this period of life in the immortal class, Gu Xiyan once again saw himself deeply.

On April 18, the Forbidden City issued two decrees. One is the holy decree, and Fang Shaochang, the son of Fang Jizhong, the supervisor of Guanglu Temple, was appointed as the champion of the temple. The other is Yi Zhi, the fourth daughter of Jian Tai, the fourth daughter of Jian Tai, was named the fifth grade of Baolin, and the commander of the Lingnan County Command Department made Min Hao's eldest daughter Min Jie was named the sixth grade beauty; Fang Shaoying, the daughter of Fang Jixian, a cabinet scholar, a scholar of the household department and a secretary of Shangbaosi, was named the crown princess.

For a time, a few families were happy and a few were sad, and the two wills were like a few big stones thrown into a shallow lake, striking a thousand waves.

But no matter how big the wave is, it can't be poured on the grandmother Sun who guards the corner gate of the Gu Mansion, she sits in the small hall of the corner gate, listening to the complaints of the princess indifferently. Since Mrs. Wang was beaten by Master Gu for eating and drinking, her legs have not been good until now, and she has lost her idleness, and now she is only working in the kitchen, helping to wash vegetables, tidy up dishes and whatever, and the sky is full of complaints, complaining to whoever she catches, scolding Gui Guan for two or three hours without stopping, and not afraid of convulsions at the corners of her mouth.

There was a sudden knock on the door, three times, and he looked very educated.

Mama Sun was listening to Mrs. Wang's rambling and not bothering, and when she heard the movement, she got up with a smile: "I'll go and see who is knocking on the door." ”

Mrs. Wang leaned over and sat half-on the Taishi's chair, and reluctantly accepted the words.

Grandma Sun opened the door.

Outside the door stood a woman wearing a moon-white hat, tall and peachy, wearing an apricot-colored undergarment.

Grandma Sun stretched out her head to look around, and the girl was alone, that is, she had no luggage and no entourage.

When the woman saw her probe, she stretched out her hand to lift the veil, revealing a face as white as a pear blossom, a pair of eyes shining between expectations, and a gentle and sweet smile, which made people feel good at first sight.

Mama Sun was originally a dowry brought by Mrs. Gu from her mother's house, and she has always been waiting by the side of the little young master Gu Panxi, this time when she returned to Beijing, there were some incidents in the Gu family, and she was temporarily sent here to guard the corner gate for a few days. The Liu family is a giant in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is not a woman who has never seen the world, seeing that this woman has an extraordinary bearing, she couldn't help but lower her voice and asked politely: "Who is this girl?" ”

The girl said, "I'm looking for Mrs. Gu." ”

Mama Sun was stunned, but she still had to ask: "The girl can bring the name sticker of the honorable person, and I can go back." ”

The girl smiled: "You are new here, I am Gu Xiyan, the second girl of the Gu Mansion......"

Mama Sun was really startled, and couldn't help but look at the visitor carefully.

is really a beauty in a thousand miles, but is this a second girl......

She was hesitating there, Mrs. Wang sat there impatiently, limped out, saw someone coming, her eyes were about to fall, and her voice shouted sharply, "Second girl".

Grandma Sun knew that this girl was not talking nonsense, and then she thought of what she had found in the Gu Mansion in the past few days, she was so frightened that she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly grabbed the girl's arm and greeted her, while saying: "Girl, come in, there are many people outside......

Gu Xiyan entered the door with a smile and took off his hat.

Mama Sun hurriedly said to the stunned Mrs. Wang: "You guard here, and I will take the girl to see Madame." ”

Mrs. Wang nodded stupidly.

Didn't you say that the second girl had chickenpox, why did she run in from the outside again, looking at that complexion, it didn't look like she had chickenpox at all.

Mama Sun led Gu Xiyan to the inner house, and said, "The girl still wears the hat well, the old man said that my aunt has chickenpox...... Beyuan is only guarded by a few close people from Duan Niang, and no one else is allowed to enter the ......"

Gu Xiyan put on his hat clearly, and followed Mama Sun to the garden in a hurry.

Mama Tian, who was guarding under the eaves, immediately understood when she saw Gu Xiyan, she personally lifted the curtain and said loudly to the girls who were waiting: "Madame's niece is here, you are all scattered for the time being, and I and Mama Sun are here to serve." ”

Everyone can feel the turbulent atmosphere of the Gu family, and the servants from top to bottom are all trembling, for fear that one day things will happen to their heads, and when they heard what Mama Tian said, of course everyone rushed to disperse.

Gu Xiyan took off her hat and entered the inner room, Mrs. Gu was half-lying and half-lying on the big pillow on the bed, and there was a little boy standing at the head of the bed, five or six years old, wearing a royal blue round shirt, looking like a little adult was shaking his head and reciting "Sound Rhyme Enlightenment" to her, Mrs. Gu's eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, and she looked at the boy with a smile.

Children are the most sensitive, as soon as Gu Xiyan stepped into the room, he immediately felt the breath of the living, and couldn't help but look back.

Mrs. Gu had a forehead scarf studded with rubies on her head, she hadn't seen her for two months, she looked even more thin and haggard, and when she saw the boy's face sideways, she followed the boy's gaze and saw Gu Xiyan standing in front of the door curtain.

The smile on her face deepened, and she stretched out her thin fingers to caress the boy's black hair, and said, "Panxi, this is your second sister, call me sister quickly." ”
