"The son-in-law took a close look at it. It said that Qin Xianglian was thirty-two years old, and sued the current son-in-law. She deceived the king and concealed the truth from the emperor. A man who repented of marriage was sent to another bed. He killed his wife and son and lost his conscience..."
On the stage, an old man sang impassionedly, and the audience listened attentively.
This part of the play is a new play that was released not long ago. It is called "The Case of the Beauty". It is about a ruthless scholar who wins the number one prize. s story.
Once this drama was released, it became very popular in Kyoto. The fictional Bao Qingtian in the drama is no stranger to them. This episode of defying the power to defend the people and angering the wicked is simply delightful. It is the ordinary people living at the bottom favorite to watch.
At this juncture, if there really are heartless people who covet wealth and honor and abandon their wives and children, they will probably have their spine broken by everyone.
In the private room upstairs, Miss Zeng wiped her tears, and looked at Li Yi with some resentment, "Okay, why did you come up with such a play..."
Needless to say, she, who is full of sympathy, is naturally sympathizing with Qin Xianglian's mother and son in the play.
Wan Ruoqing is used to these scenes. She has watched this play countless times from the script to the arrangement to the stage before it was launched. Naturally, she will not be moved at this time. She smiled and said: "This is just a play. , if there are no such twists and turns, which touch people's emotions, few guests are willing to watch... "
Zeng Zuimo looked at her, curled his lips and said, "You will speak for him..."
Wan Ruoqing could only shake his head and smile.
Li Yi looked at the Goddess of Luoshui and defended himself: "Art comes from life and is higher than life. Although it is a drama, it also reflects social reality. When I was eating in a restaurant today, I saw a real-life' Chen Shimei', your mind is too simple to understand the ugliness of this world..."
He thought of one thing, and said again: "By the way, if you have the opportunity to help me, I would like to thank the madam of Qunyuyuan. If it wasn't for her this time, there might be some small troubles."
"She has never been someone who likes to suffer." Zeng Zuimo shook his head and said, "I came here this morning to negotiate terms. The new styles that will be released by the underwear workshop will be supplied to them first..."
These are all trivial matters. After the failure of Si Tianjian, the Cui family wanted to use these officials to stir up the situation this time. It was still a bit too naive.
It's just that they don't know what kind of means they will use next time after the halberd is broken again this time.
It's not that they haven't considered solving the problem once and for all, but how can a deeply rooted family that has been in Jingguo for a hundred years fall so easily
At the very least, a primer with sufficient weight is also required...
…
"Trash, it's all trash!"
In the Cui family, in a large hall, there was a row of young people dressed as officials kneeling. Cui Qingze, the patriarch of the Cui family, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. Didn't even dare to take a breath.
Without exception, all the arrangements he made failed, and even the slightest waves were not aroused. On the contrary, because of these things, the public opinion of the people was completely reversed. One time - crushing defeat!
Cui Qingming, who was standing aside, looked at the trembling people, waved his hands, and said, "Go down."
As if they had been pardoned, several people quickly got up from the ground and disappeared in the hall in an instant.
Cui Qingze was slumped on the chair, his eyes were lifeless, and his expression was dejected.
"Brother..."
Just as Cui Qingming opened his mouth, he was interrupted directly.
Cui Qingze stared blankly at the front, and murmured: "Qingming, tell me, are we getting farther and farther away from that road?"
Cui Qingming clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty is still here, Your Highness is still here, we haven't lost yet, neither has the Cui family..."
…
"We lost badly yesterday, and you, Chu Ping, won the most by yourself. In today's game, no matter what, you have to invite me, right?"
Miaoyin Pavilion, a young man said with a smile while holding another young man's shoulder.
"Naturally." Chu Ping nodded, and said in a low voice, "However, don't let my grandfather know about our going to the gambling house..."
Cui Xixin patted his chest and said, "Of course we know about this, so don't worry, if Master Taifu finds out, shouldn't we be punished accordingly?"
Only then did Chu Ping feel relieved, and touched the bank note in his arms, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.
The Chu family has strict upbringing. Although he is the eldest son, but because of this, the elders have stricter requirements on him. He traveled around with his grandfather to increase his knowledge. After returning to the capital, he was accompanied by these friends. You know, there are so many interesting things in this world.
"Come, come, go first..." Cui Xixin waved his hand, pointed to Qin Yu who was beside him, and said as he walked, "Listen to Junliang, Chu Ping, you also like that mouthful. You can communicate more with Young Master Qin on this point. Exchange, I believe you will learn a lot from the little father-in-law."
Chu Ping blushed, and hurriedly said, "Go in and talk, go in and talk..."
A plump woman greeted her from inside, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's a coincidence that the young masters are here today. Upstairs in the Tianzi Room, Shuang Shuang is preparing to perform..."
Chu Ping asked suspiciously, "Miss Shuangshuang?"
Cui Xixin smiled and explained: "Miss Shuangshuang's piano skills are the best in Miaoyin Pavilion. You can go up and listen to them and you will know. You have a lot of knowledge in the art of piano. Maybe you can even compete with Miss Shuangshuang... "
Miaoyin Pavilion is a relatively well-known music hall in Kyoto. There is a constant flow of tourists on weekdays. Several people went up to the second floor, and under the guidance of the beautiful woman, they entered the Tianzi Room.
The room is very spacious, and there are small rooms separated inside, with bead curtains hanging outside, forming a ring around the middle platform.
At this time, there was already a woman on the stage, the woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old, she was pretty and lovely, but her face was a little pale, and she gave people a sense of weakness at first glance, the man in the field Whenever I saw her appearance, I couldn't help but want to hold her in my arms and take pity on her.
Cui Xixin stretched out his palm, shook it in front of Chu Ping's eyes, and said with a smile, "Hey, what are you looking at? My eyes are straight."
"No, it's nothing..." Chu Ping blushed, and lowered his head in a panic.
"Could it be that these two girls are the type you like?" Cui Xixin looked at him in surprise, and said, "Junliang told me last time, but I still didn't believe it, so you really like this sick look..."
"But..." He shook his head regretfully.
"But what?" Chu Ping immediately raised his head.
"This Shuangshuang girl is a beloved woman. It is said that her family background is not good and her body is very weak. She only plays a song here occasionally. This time, you may be disappointed."
In Cui Xixin's words, there is some regret that cannot be concealed. Although Miaoyin Pavilion is a music workshop, it is actually engaged in prostitution business behind it. Of course, this place is naturally much more upscale than the brothel outside, and there are pure musicians among them. This Shuangshuang girl is one of them.
He changed his voice and said again: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good. If you really like Chu Ping, then go for it boldly. How honorable the Chu family is, it may not be impossible to win the hearts of both girls."
The sound of the piano sounded at this moment, Chu Ping closed his eyes, listened carefully for a while, then opened his eyes, and said with admiration: "Miss Shuangshuang's piano skills can already be called everyone."
Cui Xixin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, I'll arrange a similar one for you in a while, isn't it just the sick type, as long as you have money, you can't find anything... However, I just brought us Don't even think about the one who came in, it belongs to Young Master Qin..."
Chu Ping looked at the beautiful woman just now, shook his head immediately, and sighed in his heart, this young Lord Qin has really unique preferences...
