The show on this day was not as exciting as the first day, but Fu Qiuning was still very excited to watch it, and his seriousness was no less than that of the judges. But there was an episode in the middle. I don’t know which country he was from, but he jumped on the stage after the program was over, claiming that he wanted to compete with the generals of the Chinese dynasty. As a result, he was beaten up by the sword-carrying guards around the emperor, and he was completely disgraced. , and also made the people below throw away several pieces of cabbage, tomatoes, and rotten eggs. The laughter lasted for a long time.
"This is the result of overestimating one's capabilities."
In the evening, the couple were in bed, because they were both tired, but they had no thoughts about the ups and downs. Talking about this little episode, Fu Qiuning couldn't help but sigh, and then curiously said: "But the common people came to watch the show, and they still brought Stinky egg whites, vegetables, tomatoes, etc. This is really a strange thing, don’t many people just go in to watch the show after buying groceries?”
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "You just haven't seen this grand event before, no wonder you don't know about it. What does this mean today? In previous years of the International Civilization Conference, which one was not provoked by several arrogant countries? In some countries, those provocative people are too It's disgusting. Over time, people have experienced it. Only one provocative person has come out this year, which is already considered rare."
Fu Qiuning was dumbfounded. What was he thinking? Is there such a thing? Are those provocative countries crazy? This is someone else's home court. Do you want to show off your power without looking at the timing? And after so many times, I still can’t learn well. In an instant, she suddenly understood why the emperor valued the All Nations Civilization Association so much. Jin Fengju said before that it represented the dignity of the country, but she thought it was making a fuss out of a molehill. Now that she thinks about it, this is probably about the same as Beijing's successful application for the Olympic Games, or even better. That one is even more crazy and important, because the ancient people's ignorant thoughts of loyalty to the emperor made their cohesion and centripetal force even stronger.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of the International Civilization Conference. There were not many programs left on this day, but all of them were the best ones from several countries reserved for the finale. Therefore, Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Fang, etc., regardless of fatigue, still performed It's over. Seeing that it was almost noon, all other programs were finally finished, leaving only "The Match".
As soon as I heard about this last show, it was a new play that was rumored among the people, but not many people had actually heard of it. It was still a new play created by the wife of the hot gold-encrusted little marquis, regardless of the nobles on the second, third, and fourth floors. , or the wealthy businessmen and common people in the audience could not help but prick up their ears, their faces turned red, and their excitement and anticipation were palpable.
Fu Qiuning lost her excitement. She spent all her time rehearsing the play in Jinfu in the past few months. Even though she loved opera so much, when she heard the familiar prelude, her ears seemed to be on fire. Cocoon. She yawned. The past two and a half days had almost exhausted her energy. So she looked around and saw that everyone was staring at the high platform, so she leaned back, secretly lowered her head and closed her eyes to rest.
The music and singing in his ears gradually became ethereal, and Fu Qiuning was so tired that he just sat and fell asleep. She didn't know how much time had passed, but she suddenly heard bursts of crying. She was startled, and she quickly straightened up and looked around blankly, wondering what was going on? What happened? Why is everyone crying
"If I don't go to heaven as a wife, I'm afraid that Dong Lang's life will be affected! Tear off the skirt and use it as plain paper. Bite off the middle finger and use it as hair. Write down the heartfelt words with blood and tears, and leave them with Dong Lang. When he wakes up, the flowers will bloom in the coming spring! Sun, under the shade of the locust tree... Mr. Dong Lang... Hand in hand, hand in hand... Don't be afraid of the many rules of heaven to break them apart. You and I are of the same mind in heaven and on earth!!"
Hearing the heart-wrenching and tearful sung last verse of "A Heavenly Match", Fu Qiuning suddenly realized. He thought to himself that the people in ancient times were really simple and kind-hearted. This level of cruelty was too low. Such a parting separated them. Crying like this. If we meet those modern stepmothers who are best at ruthless sensationalism, how many times will we cry to death
Although people at this time were ignorant and superstitious, they respected heaven, earth, ghosts and gods. However, the struggle between man and nature has never stopped. Although "The Match" is a mythical story, the warm and beautiful emotions in it have resonated with people, which is why this story has been widely circulated among the people. At this time, the people would not curse God for being unkind, but it did not prevent everyone from feeling pity and sympathy for the fate of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies. Therefore, the Queen Mother and the Emperor did not object to the play Fu Qiuning originally selected.
At this time, seeing the seven fairies gradually disappearing deep behind the scenes, and only the actor playing Dong Yong lying alone and miserably on the stage, people's sympathy couldn't help but reach its peak, surrounded by the cries of common people and the sobs of noble women. A Marquis and Madam next to Fu Qiuning asked her while crying: "Are Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies separated forever like this?"
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Madam, haven't you heard this story? Dong Yong later married a good wife of the Wang family. After the Seven Fairies gave birth to a child, they kept their promise and gave the child to Dong Yong, but she had to return to heaven. Continue to suffer the pain of loneliness." As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and snorted in her heart: Scumbag, why did ancient people like scumbags so much? In fact, it is not true at all. Dong Yong is so honest and honest, and has a deep love for the Seven Fairies. How can he marry again? It is the men who make up stories who make up this kind of sequel in order to gain their own interests.
But I saw Mrs. Hou wiped her tears and said with a happy smile: "In this way, Dong Yong is not too miserable after all. He only pitied the seven fairies and will still have to live alone in the sky."
Fu Qiuning forced a smile and said a few perfunctory words, thinking that this was a virtuous woman in ancient times. This kind of thinking is really hopeless.
After returning to the mansion, Fu Qiuning, who had persisted for so long, lay down. When Yu Jie came in and said that a grand banquet would be held in the palace in the evening, the rankings of the various programs of the All Nations Civilization Conference were announced in public, and she was asked to attend. She couldn't help but raise her head and said: "Is there a decree from the palace saying that I can't go if I don't go?" Seeing Yujie shaking his head, she fell on the bed again and muttered: "I can't do this anymore. I won't get involved, whoever wants to go can go."
So that night, Madam Jin, Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Fang, and even Jiang Wanying and other high-ranking imperial concubines entered the palace with great makeup and great joy. It was not until they entered the palace that these people knew that Fu Qiuning had not come. Old Mrs. Jin was a little scared, but when she saw that the Queen Mother knew the news, she nodded sincerely and said: "This party is truly unfazed. Fengju praised her before for being indifferent and clear-minded. The Ai family still didn't believe it. Now they know that Fengju What he said was true. She didn't take it to heart when she was in the limelight. It was really rare. Feng Ju really married a virtuous wife.
If Fu Qiuning knew that his lazy behavior could be praised so highly by the Queen Mother, his jaw would probably drop. God knows she was just too tired to move
The civilization of all nations will be in Fu Qiuning's heart, and this is considered a thing of the past. However, the Daning Dynasty once again proved that its country's splendid culture is unmatched by other countries with this Huangmei opera "The Fairy's Match" and other programs. Therefore, under Long Yan's great joy, not only the Duke of Jingguo, but also other ministers of the Ministry of Rites and some noble families also received rewards. However, the craze caused by Huangmei Opera among the people has just begun. This is a story for later, so I won’t mention it.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather became colder day by day, there were several northerly winds, and on this day it started to rain heavily.
Fu Qiuning held the oil-paper umbrella Jin Fengju brought back to her from the south of the Yangtze River and walked on the path paved with green bricks in the garden. She saw yellow leaves all over the ground and decaying grass stretching to the sky, which really gave off a sense of desolation in late autumn. gas.
"After this autumn rain, I'm afraid that the next one will probably snow." After tightening the velvet cloak, I still felt waves of cold air entering my body. It didn't rain when she went out today, so she didn't wear a raincoat. Although she had an umbrella, she was still wet from the rain.
After the Universal Civilization Conference, Fu Qiuning also rested for a few days. After that, the emperor ordered people to build a large mansion next to the Jingguo Palace and selected some talented singers and dancers and musicians to come over and let Fu Qiuning continue to rehearse new plays. Naturally, The dignified Madam Marquis is not a teacher for nothing, and there is no need to go into detail about the various rewards.
As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard of Fengya Building, before he could go in, he saw Yu Jie holding an umbrella and running out with a roll of things in his hand. When he saw her and her maid Qiu Yu, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I just said I don't know. I wonder when grandma will come back, so I went to deliver a raincoat. Who knew she would be back right now?" As she said that, Fu Qiuning had already entered the house. She quickly took the soaked cloak and ordered a little maid to send it to the laundry room. , then personally brought the hot tea, looked out the window and said, "It's getting cold even if it's cold. Grandma, drink some hot tea to go away the cold. I'll ask them to make a bowl of ginger soup."
"There's no need for the ginger soup. I'd rather bring some snacks over. I felt uncomfortable at noon today, so I didn't eat much. I'm actually hungry now." After Fu Qiuning finished speaking, Jian Feng had already brought some snacks over and said with a smile: " This is freshly baked, I know grandma likes to eat hot snacks, so I quickly brought it over."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a little maid shouting in a panic outside: "Grandma, there is... someone who wants to see you."
"What are you talking about? Who wants to see grandma? Please tell me clearly. Do you think you are chasing me away by looking so flustered?" Jian Feng opened the curtain and went out. He scolded the little maid before hearing her whisper. Said: "My slave... I didn't dare to ask. He was a young man. I was so frightened that I ran back. He asked me to inform grandma."
