Although Twelve Rain's play is very novel, very different from those plays with happy endings of talented men and beautiful women, and the plot is full of ups and downs, and it actually focuses on a few prostitutes from beginning to end, but Chen Shang is, after all, a high-ranking official who is in a difficult situation. Therefore, although his eyes seem to linger on those beautiful women, he is more concerned about today's disciples of Ge.
Although he had been in mourning at home for nearly three years, Chen Shang was very familiar with some of the faces.
The youngest son that the Minister of War Lu Wan always hated, Lu Zhu, who was called "Lu Sanpang". Zhang Chen, the only son of Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan, was unruly and often a troublemaker. He had only met Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, two inconspicuous illegitimate sons of Nanyang Marquis and Huaiqing Marquis...
In addition, there are many noble children who are not notorious in the capital, but also do not have a good reputation. It can be said that if these twenty or thirty people were taken out today, countless people in the capital would have to take a detour.
But now, under the leadership of Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang, some of these people sat there obediently watching the show, while others actually snatched the servants' job of serving tea and water. Their attentiveness was simply unbelievable.
However, the poor children of Jiuzhang Hall were not ordered around in circles. Instead, under Lu Sanlang's arrangement, everyone had a seat. Even though each of them seemed uneasy, none of the children of the noble families showed any arrogance in front of them. On the contrary, some of them refilled their tea and water and chatted with them.
Because he had pricked up his ears, he had naturally heard what Lu Sanlang said to the students of Jiuzhang Hall in a slightly lowered voice: "In the past, in Jiuzhang Hall, each of you had to listen to me and Senior Brother Qi. Who dares not to listen here? If I tell you to sit down, then sit down boldly and enjoy this great show of the capital's No. 1 Twelve Rains. If it weren't for Grandmaster Ge, you wouldn't be able to watch it even if you wanted to!"
"This is a reward for your hard work and study, understand? It's also for those of you who will be picked to go with Xiao Qi! I, the head monk, will serve Master Ge, so there's no need for you!"
Although Zhang Chen's voice was not as confident as Lu Sanlang's, it was also heard by Chen Shang who was paying attention to him the whole time.
"Aren't you all envious of Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu? Now that Minister Chen and the other elders are here, if you behave better, wouldn't that be a good example of a prodigal son returning home? Those guys who are happy to be idle at home didn't come today. This is the difference between you and them. If you want those who look down on you to look at you differently, you should all cheer up now!"
Chen Shang even heard that Zhu Er, who had always been a representative of dandy young men compared to Zhu Tingfang, the eldest son of Duke Zhao, was actually talking furtively with other people while serving tea and water, and the topic of the conversation was even more incredible to him.
“Hey, have you finished the homework assigned to you? Who has solved those math problems? At least share your ideas. I don’t want to ask that fat guy from the Lu family... What? Didn’t solve it? Damn it, can’t you use your brains... Why didn’t I do it? Of course I did it! I’ve been thinking about it for days and still can’t figure it out!”
