The three left the backstage and returned to the front to watch the show. On the way, Gu Hanmo interrogated Gu Wenqing.

"What are you doing in the backstage of those actors?"

Gu Wenqing had always known that he didn't like men with feminine temperament, and even the actresses who sang, so she didn't dare to argue.

"I know that jade official. He is the famous Huadan of the emperor, and many wealthy people invited them to the Huali troupe to sing. Among them, there are also some dudes who specialize in male style and intend to insult the jade official. I rescued him once by chance. Unexpectedly, this time the steward Qi invited them to Hualiban, so I went to talk to him."

That was the case, Gu Hanmo nodded.

"It's a good thing that you save him, but you don't have to be close to these actors, lest you lose your identity."

When Yufu heard this, he raised his head and couldn't help but hug the injustice.

"What is the third brother to be serious? The general is not as serious as you. When we were at the border, he was very friendly to the traffickers and pawns, and he never looked down upon others' lowliness."

Gu Hanmo was resisted by her at once, and didn't know how to speak, and it took a long time to suffocate four words.

"That's different."

"What's the difference? The traffickers and the actors and actresses, everyone depends on their own labor to eat."

Gu Wenqing listened to Yufu's words with great joy.

well said!

Gu Hanmo has always been bad at words, expecting that Yufu is still young and doesn't understand that there are many male prostitutes among the actors of Donglingguo.

After I had to explain, I felt that I couldn't talk about these dirty things to a little girl's house. I blushed and didn't say why, so I had to turn around and leave.

Seeing Gu Hanmo leaving behind, Yufu consciously got into trouble.

"Oops! It was hard to get closer to the third brother, and I made him angry again. Fourth brother, what should I do?"

She looked up, and not only did Gu Wenqing not worry about her, she also looked happy.

"Don't worry, the third brother is not angry. He is stupid and doesn't know how to explain it to you. In fact, it makes sense for the third brother to look down on those actors who sing in the theater. Kind of person."

Gu Wenqing bent down, explained to her patiently, and gently rubbed her little face.

"But what you said just now is really great. As long as you rely on your own labor to eat and behave upright, you shouldn't be looked down upon. This is what my father always taught us, no wonder my father likes you so much."

Although she is young, she is not blindly ignorant, but also knows what is right and wrong.

This is very rare among women.

With a gentle smile in his eyes, he took Yufu's hand back to the front, and the sound of gongs and drums rang lively.

"Yufu, come here quickly."

Gu Shubai reserved a place for her at the table for three people. In that place, besides him and Yufu, it was Gu Jiuge.

From the ranking of seats, it can be seen that Gu Huaijiang values Yufu. It is really unheard of that an illegitimate girl can be treated side by side with her elder son.

Yufu didn't understand the doorway, and when he saw Gu Shubai calling him, he ran forward with a smile, the silver bells jingling on his head.

"Where did the fourth brother take you to play?"

Yufu looked around, many people's eyes fell on her, telling the truth, I was afraid it would be bad for Gu Wenqing.

"I didn't go where to play, I just wandered around the front to see what good shows are on today."

Gu Shubai saw at a glance that she hadn't told the truth, but didn't expose it, and patiently poured her a cup of tea.

"The good show is about to start soon. This is a new play from the Huali Ban, called Princess Diaoman. I specially ordered it for you."

The princess

Yufu's heart beat and missed a beat, almost thinking that Gu Shubai knew her true identity, and she didn't understand the meaning of Gu Shubai's vernacular until the beginning of the play.

The protagonist of this play, Princess Diao Man, is young, and most of the content is also a funny story about her laughing with her family and court ladies, which is suitable for people of Yufu's age.

Unlike the Peony Pavilion, which talks about the love of men and women, or the righteousness of the family and the country like the force of Liangshan, it is not suitable for children.

Gu Jiuge glanced at Yufu's face and couldn't help holding up the wine glass and smiled.

"Big brother has a good vision, you really like this play. Pity the big men in our army, I want to accompany you to watch these little girls' play."

It was Yuguan who played Princess Zhengdan's Diaoman on stage. Yu Fuyin met him once, and at this moment, watching him act on stage, he was very involved.

Yuguan is about the same age as Gu Wenqing, and should be 17 or 18 years old, but playing the 13-year-old princess does not violate peace at all.

Gu Jiuge's words brought Yufu back to reality.

She looked down for the first time, and the court ministers, military generals, and the five big and three rough men looked at the little princess on the stage acting like a baby, and pretended to applaud with great interest, which was really humorous.

Yufu is happy.

"Everyone doesn't like to watch it. Why does Hualiban arrange this play?"

"Isn't it for you? No one in Manchu knows. The daughter of Gu Hou left behind is back. Today's Dragon Boat Festival banquet is also for you. They arranged this drama, even if it was just a laugh. It's worth it."

Gu Jiuge shook the glass and glanced upward, Yu Fu hurriedly turned his head to look.

"This play is very good, reward!"

Gu Huaijiang smiled happily, and ordered the housekeeper Qi to appreciate the Huali Ban.

At a moment I saw a dozen or so servants carrying large baskets and throwing money upwards under the stage.

The clatter of copper coins was endless, and the host of the Huali class smiled into a flower, and the guests clapped and applauded.

Guhou said it was OK, could that be OK

Yufu pursed his lips, moved and rejoiced.

She has no blood relationship with the Gu Hou Mansion, but since Gu Huaijiang, everyone in the Hou Mansion has regarded her as a treasure.

This kind of long-lost family affection made her feel warm.

But letting everyone accompany her to watch the children's play, she feels a little guilty.

"Who said that everyone doesn't like to watch it?"

Gu Shubai's gaze fell on the stage, his expression was still, his lips lightly opened, "I think it's pretty."

Singer Gu Jiu stagnated, glanced at him, and raised his eyebrows arbitrarily.
