The woman nodded regretfully and said, "Two taels of silver will be two taels of silver, if this thing is useless, I will come to you tomorrow." ”

"Okay, this store is mine, I don't run." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

The woman in front of her was obviously a very principled Bai Fumei, who didn't want to say anything at half price, and took out two taels of silver from her waist bag.

Once she had reconfirmed her address, she was about to leave with a red lip.

A few steps away from Cheng Yuan, the close friend who had been by her side and had not spoken, looked back at Cheng Yuan, who was concentrating on wall painting.

Turning his head and glancing at the woman with eyes that knew everything, he whispered: "Why are you looking for someone tomorrow, could it be that our Miss Yang, who fell in love with the son who painted?" ”

A hint of crimson appeared on the woman's pretty face, and she glared at her with disgust, "You bad embryo, don't talk nonsense, if this lip red is not good, I will naturally ask him for an explanation."

"Ask for an explanation?" When the woman next to her heard this, she smiled a little teasingly, "I think you want to please an official, right......?"

"Ah, you dead girl, shame on you, dare to talk nonsense again, watch me tear your mouth apart......"

"Don't dare, don't dare......"

"Go back and ...... it again"

"Come out today, don't let grandpa know, otherwise he will come back from the palace and discipline me."

Watching the figures of the two gradually disappear, Cheng Yuan wiped his hands on his coarse cloth clothes, ready to move the shelf and continue to paint the other side.

There were many women and men around.

"Tsk, this scholar drew a picture and brought in all the women who were pregnant."

"This woman is really beautiful, she must be the wife of a big family."

"Not necessarily, you see her standing there, looking at the scholar who paints, like a debt begger, maybe it's Chen Shimei, this woman is here to collect debts."

"This guy wears coarse cloth and paints, and that lady is dressed in brocade and silk, so this little white face must have tempted a big lady and made her belly bigger."

"This person is a Chen Shimei ......"

Cheng Yuan stood there speechless, could he be like a concubine, he had to put down his pen and bring An Cheng into the theater.

The hall of the theater is very shady, except for Shi Kai and Kuang Yu, they are Zhu Bai and Princess Xiang, who supervise the play's recitation.

An Cheng happily listened to the people outside accusing Cheng Yuan, and felt a little comfortable in her heart, since she knew about the arrangement of Queen Xu and Zhu Di that day, she was depressed.

Fortunately, she had already accepted the incident, so when she heard someone outside accusing Cheng Yuan, she was half angry.

Entering the lobby, An Cheng held a plate of dried fruits in his hand and sat there, watching the excitement.

The men who accused Cheng Yuan outside saw that the two were so close, and stood at the door of the theater and looked at Cheng Yuan suspiciously, and then at An Cheng.

"Don't look at it, I'm really her man, and that child is mine." Cheng Yuan said loudly.

Cheng Yuan asked a few family members to blast away the onlookers at the door.

Why should men be embarrassed by men.

Cheng Yuan sat down, looked at the good-looking woman in front of him, and knocked a chestnut on her forehead: "Is it fun?" ”

Cheng Yuan picked up the dried fruit on the plate, gently threw it at her dress and said, "You see me being scolded, it's very enjoyable, isn't it." ”

"Your Highness, next time I will change the method to let me pay attention to you, this method will not work."

An Cheng turned his face and ignored him, but whispered softly to Shi Kai: "Shi Kai, move the easel back first, it's too hot at the moment." ”

Shi Kai scratched his head and went out to move the wooden shelves.

Cheng Yuan rested for a while, only to see that the tables and chairs had been arranged very well, two-person group, four-person group plus one-person group, three-person group......

The theater was originally empty, but there were many more precious bonsai in one day.

There is a faint aroma wafting through the theater.

Cheng Yuan glanced at it a few times and saw many familiar flower pots, among which there was a double-petaled peony seedling, which was very similar to the one in his house.

He looked at it quietly, "Where did these flowers come from?" ”

"This palace is cold to watch the theater, so let Kuang Yu take the flowers you raised and put them away." Her tone was indifferent.

My orchids are very valuable, especially the peony...... You're a loser.

There is also Kuang Yu, a dead child, who brought all the master's treasures and went back to clean him up.

I feel so sorry...... Cheng Yuan said: "Your Highness will move whichever pot you like, but the peony is not very good indoors, so it is better to move it back." ”

"Not moving."

"Move back."

"I won't move."

How can you reason with a woman? It was definitely too clean, so Cheng Yuan went to discuss the specific matter with Zhu Bai.

The troupe had to find a play, and Zhu Bai used his ability to invite a special troupe from Suzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to come back.

In addition to telling Zhu Bai, Cheng Yuan will take the script from Cheng Jinzhai in the future.

In addition, Zhu Bai built two large workshops behind the theater, one for making dried sweet potato vermicelli, dried sweet potatoes, and popcorn.

The other is that Cheng Yuan wrote down the distillation utensils that needed to be used, drew a rough distillation diagram, and spent two or three days studying perfume and soap with the workers.

These workers are all from the government, and each of them has mastered one step, but the ingredients are all given to Zhu Bai by Cheng Yuan in proportion.

As for the preparation of perfume, he actually read it from the perfume manual he signed in before, and he sighed that it was useless at that time, but now he feels that everything has its reason.

The theater opens quickly, with storytelling in the morning, three scenes in the afternoon and evening.

As soon as the theater opened, many people were attracted by the paintings on the walls and the promotion of stories.

Particularly novel.

In the first few days of the theater, the scene was lively.

The people who listened to the drama and the book in the city were all attracted one after another.

Even if some passers-by stand on the street and can't see what is going on in the theater, when they hear the babbling singing and rhetoric, their souls are all hooked, and the spectators spread word of mouth, and they come one after another.

On the evening of the fourth day, Cheng Yuan took Xie Jin, and Zhu Neng and Li asked them to come to the play.

Zhu Baixing rushed and said: "Listen to the steward, this singing drama has only been a few days, we are full, there are more people booked, and the position of listening to the drama is according to the front and back."

The highest level for one position is 50 Wen, and the other 30 Wen and 40 Wen range. That's it, there are people vying to book. ”

Cheng Yuan nodded slightly, stood on the second floor and looked down, sure enough, there were a lot of people.

Some of the surrounding theaters have a bleak business, so they simply don't talk about storytelling.

The peers were red-eyed and wanted to do their hands and feet, but when they heard that it was the Duke of Zhenguo and the King of Xiang, they all put away their hearts to do their hands and feet.

"Very good, the next step, you have to pick some women with a body and a good chassis, cultivate them slowly, and your face and body will be top-notch, so that guests will feel uncomfortable if they don't watch our drama for a day."

Cheng Yuan cooperated with Zhu Bai, which had an advantage, that is, it was very worry-free, he issued a request method, and Zhu Bai sent someone to do it.

But Cheng Yuan still told Zhu Bai that he couldn't use his power casually, he should pay for it, and he should follow the formal regulations and follow the rules.

lest you be caught by the imperial history when you get it, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Zhu Bai has experienced life and death once, but he is not so arrogant and domineering, and he does things clearly.

Zhu Gaochi wanted to come several times, but was refused.

Cheng Yuan said that the theater was mixed, so try not to come here for personal safety.

The theater was invited by Zhu Bai to a few palace guards and officials from the town, and no one dared to make trouble.

…………

Last night, Xianning asked Chang Ning and Kang Ning about the Mu family, and Chang Ning said that he had not heard that the Mu family was coming, and even if they were coming, they would only have to wait for the word to be transmitted.

Princess Changning and Princess Kangning were also raised by Queen Xu, but they were not as capricious as Xianning.

Xianning's willfulness was given by Zhu Di.

When Princess Xiang sent her lips red, she talked about Cheng Yuan's recent events. Xianning was even more sad when he learned that Cheng Yuan was busy opening a theater and singing.

"Is the Mu family coming?"

Princess Xiang was stunned, she only heard that His Majesty intended to choose the princess for the children of the Mu family, and the rest was not clear.

The edict does not inform the world, and no one is sure.

"Yes, in a few days, the beginning of next month will be here." Princess Xiang said: "It's getting late, I'll go to the queen's mother to send lip red, arrange a few chamberlains to help me move some flowers and plants, I'll leave the palace later, I'll leave first." ”
