Chapter 43: The Spring Banquet (Part II)

Mrs. Tai smiled and reprimanded Xu Wuye: "I love to be weird, and I'm not afraid of scaring my sisters." He glanced back at the fifth lady standing behind him, "Danyang, you have to take care of it!" ”

The fifth lady put her arm on Mrs. Tai's shoulder, pulled her husband with her eyes and smiled.

"The fifth uncle is also kind!" The third lady smiled, "Seeing so many elders and sisters here, you can't let those singers come in to present the play list, right?" As he spoke, he personally went over and took the play list in Xu Wuye's hand and presented it to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai handed the play list to Zheng Taijun: "Look at which play you like!" ”

Zheng Taijun excused himself and insisted on letting Mrs. Tai play: "The guest is as you please!" ”

Seeing that she pushed sincerely, Mrs. Tai handed the play list to Mrs. Huang next to her.

Mrs. Huang was not polite, and took over the play list with a smile: "You all pushed around, and you have sung all of this kung fu singing." Behind him, a maid handed over tortoiseshell glasses.

She took her glasses and looked at the play list carefully: "The Story of the Brocade", "The Story of the Classmates", "The Story of the Pipa", "The Story of the Golden Mink", "The Mark of the Golden Seal"...... Or watch literary dramas, right? This martial arts drama crackled and struck, but it was just jumping around, and I didn't know what it was singing? As he spoke, he looked at the people present.

Naturally, everyone had no objections, and they all said, "Just listen to you." ”

Mrs. Huang closed the play list and said to Xu Wuye with a smile: "Then sing "Pipa Xing", I like to listen to it!" ”

Xu Wuye learned from the guys in the theater garden and drank it, and went to the wing room behind the stage with the play list.

After a while, a door opened in the wing, and several men came out with various musical instruments and sat on the right side of the stage.

A man in his forties came on stage and said a witticism about the scene, and then the gong and drum sounded, and the play began.

Geyang's cavity is high-pitched and exciting, sonorous and powerful, the instrumental music is dominated by big gongs and small gongs and drum boards, and the scandium and scandium are very powerful.

This is still a literary opera, if it is a martial arts opera, wouldn't the voice be louder.

Eleven Niang is a little nostalgic for Yue Opera. Hey, hey, the water sleeves dance, how meaningful.

She had never seen this kind of drama, so she calmed down and watched it carefully.

The first scene of "Pipa Xing" is separation. Cai Bojiao, a newlywed scholar, was separated from his wife Zhao Wuniang because he wanted to enter Beijing to catch the exam.

The actors on the stage sang sincerely, raised their hands and looked in place, but unfortunately they sang and read in square opera, and Eleven Niang had to concentrate to barely understand seven or eight points.

If only the lines could be printed in a booklet for the people watching the play to compare...... Shi Niang remembered that she used to accompany her grandfather and grandmother to the theater to watch a play, and she would send such a booklet.

Suddenly, someone tugged at her right sleeve.

Eleven Niang didn't have to look back to know that it was Wu Niang.

"Eleven Niang, you can't let Shi Niang be in the limelight......" Her voice was very low.

Eleven Niang simply turned around and opened her eyes wide: "What my sister said, I can't hear it!" ”

The sound of gongs and drums just stopped, and her voice was crisp and loud.

Everyone's eyes were on him.

Eleven Niang smiled apologetically at everyone.

Wu Niang smiled wryly and said, "I said you sit down a little bit and block me!" ”

"Oh!" Shi Niang smiled and moved her position, leaning closer to the eldest lady.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded again.

The second fold is "High School", which writes about Cai Bojiao's high school champion and the joy of returning to his hometown, but Prime Minister Niu Cheng took a fancy to him and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law.

Eleven Niang watched Miss Gan Qi sitting there and secretly looked left and right, looking helpless and patient, but Miss Gan San listened with relish, and even clenched her fists tightly when Prime Minister Niu said that she wanted to recruit Cai Bojiao as her son-in-law.

Let's look at the other ladies.

Qiao Lianfang was a little absent-minded, Miss Lin frowned slightly, and although Miss Kang was sitting upright, the expression on her face was smiling and worrying with the joys, sorrows, and joys of the singers.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh.

Look at the five ladies.

Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the same as Miss Tang, looking like she had completely entered the plot.

Eleven Niang thought for a moment, and glanced back at Wu Niang and Shi Niang.

Wu Niang's face was pale, and the fat powder couldn't hide her anger was extremely corrupt, where was she in the mood to listen to the play. As for Shi Niang, she looked at the stage with a smile and a comfortable and satisfied expression.

Eleven Niang suddenly thought of the allusion of "the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits".

After the second fold was sung, there was a short break in the intermission.

There are gags for burlesque appearances.

Now both young and old are attracted, and they are smiling.

Mrs. Tai rewarded.

Someone used a plum blossom tea tray painted with red lacquer to hold five bright and sparkling big ingots in the past.

Eleven Niang tsks.

Each of the ingots is twenty taels, and this tray is one hundred taels. She did needlework for more than half a year to barely sell this amount, and that was because Master Jian helped sell it......

The third scene is "Forced Marriage". Write about how Prime Minister Niu persuaded the emperor to give him a marriage, and how he forced Cai Bojiao to stay in Kyoto.

When Cai Bojiao was sad alone in the study, a little guy who had not left his head ran in, standing outside the wing room and looking, but he didn't dare to come in, his face was full of anxiety.

The third lady looked at it and quietly walked over and whispered a few words to the little girl, and then hurriedly turned back and whispered a few words in the ear of the lady.

"Little Four is back!" Mrs. Tai was slightly stunned, "Why is it so early today?" Let him in! There are no outsiders here either! He smiled at Zheng Taijun beside him, "Master Hou is back, I heard that you are all here, and I want to come in and say hello!" ”

"How dare you do this!" Zheng Taijun was very happy, but he said words of resignation.

Mrs. Huang smiled and said: "I haven't seen Lord Hou for some years - he went to war the year before last, and last year I was not in good health and did not participate in the palace banquet...... Now I'm afraid it's getting more and more calm. ”

The third lady got Mrs. Tai's meaning, went out and whispered a few words to the little maid, and the little maid nodded again and again, and ran away.

Mrs. Tai smiled: "He has been calm since he was a child, and now he is wooden!" ”

"I've never seen anyone more demanding than Madame Tai!" Mrs. Tang teased, "I don't know how good it is to see that the fifth master is willing to 'entertain relatives with colorful clothes', but you are a 'nonsense' on the left, and a 'monkey' on the right." As she spoke, Mrs. Wangwu covered her mouth and smiled, "So that the two children don't know how to say hello." When it comes to Master Hou, everyone praises 'old and introverted', and it becomes 'Mune' in your mouth...... Alas, I don't know when my two children will be able to be as wooden and foolish as Hou Ye and Fifth Master. I'm satisfied! That's a very flattering statement. praised Xu Lingyi, Xu Wuye, and the fifth lady, but did not mention the third lady who has been serving in front of everyone.

Eleven Niang's eyes wandered.

Mrs. Tai smiled, her face full of satisfaction.

The others laughed too, except for the eldest lady, whose eyes flashed with a hint of loss.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh softly.

If Yuan Niang is not sick, the eldest lady will also feel honored!

A little guy shouted: "Master Hou is here!" ”

The stage suddenly stopped, and there was no sound, and the musicians and actors stood in place, motionless.

Xu Wuye suddenly popped up: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? He was still dressed in his original clothes, and his face was half-painted.

The fifth lady looked at it and smiled: "Master Hou is back!" Didn't you hear? ”

"Alas!" He yelled and rushed into the room, "Don't say I'm here......"

The people in the courtyard laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.

The third lady smiled and led the ladies to take refuge behind the screen on the west side.

Behind the screen was a place to feast, and everyone sat separately, only Miss Gan Qi leaned around the gap in the screen and looked out.

Miss Gan San hurriedly dragged her sister: "What's so beautiful." In a few days, grandpa's birthday, Hou Ye will go to celebrate his birthday, you just have enough to see. Don't be embarrassed here! The last sentence was very light, but no one in the room spoke, and everyone heard it clearly.

Miss Gan Qi shook her sister's hand: "Oh, I'll take a look." The sixth brother is nagging about how good he is every day, and I want to see if he has three heads and six arms. ”

Miss Gan San took her sister's hand and didn't let go: "If you are like this, I will never take you out again." ”

Miss Lin covered her sleeves and smiled, but Miss Tang showed disdain, only Qiao Lianfang looked at the third miss of the Gan family thoughtfully.

There was a gossip greeting outside: "Master Hou is here!" ”

A mellow and gentle voice pierced through the noisy locks and struck people's hearts: "I've seen Mother! ”

The two young ladies of the Gan family were stunned in front of the screen, and the others sat up straight with bated breath, including Eleven Niang.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" There was unconcealed joy in Mrs. Tai's voice, "Why did you go down to court so early today?" Is there nothing going on in the DPRK? ”

"It's been a quiet few days." The voice said unhurriedly, giving people a calm and unhurried certainty, "I heard that several ladies are here, I came to say hello!" ”

"Don't dare! Can't! Several ladies were polite, but they could also hear that they were very happy about Xu Lingyi's behavior.

Miss Gan Jiaqi rolled her eyes, and peeked in front of the screen again, the third Miss Gan family stood there, pulling, and was afraid that the people outside would hear the movement, not pulling, and it was a very rude action, it was really not advancing, nor retreating, it was very embarrassing.

Qiao Lianfang covered her mouth and smiled, even if it was Eleven Niang, she couldn't help it.

After a simple greeting, Xu Lingyi got up and said goodbye: "...... Don't delay your ladies Yaxing! ”

Everyone said: "Master Hou go slowly!" ”

The third lady of the Gan family took advantage of the movement outside and pulled her sister fiercely: "I want to tell my mother when I go back!" ”

The seventh lady of the Gan family was not afraid at all, and looked at everyone proudly: "I saw the appearance of Master Hou!" ”

Qiao Lianfang looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Shi Niang smiled and said, "But there are three heads and six arms? The tone was very lively.

The seventh lady of the Gan family was slightly surprised, saw Shi Niang's gaze turn to appreciation, glanced at the other people in the room, and said with a smile: "Only the two of us want to know what the Hou Ye looks like." There was a bit of banter in his expression, "You come here, I'll just tell you!" ”

Shi Niang smiled lightly, and Shi Shiran walked over.

Wu Niang was in a hurry: "Shi Niang, what are you going to do?" ”
