Chapter 119 Sofa
After the group had enough food and food, they set off for Taoyuan Grand Theater under the leadership of Fang Zhengyi.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and many officials were still muttering about what kind of play they could watch so late.
As soon as I entered the Grand Theater, I suddenly realized that the interior space of the theater was extremely large, similar to a modern theater, but only one floor.
Several huge lamp stands were placed on the stage with oil lamps lit on them, and the walls around them were also covered with oil lamps.
In addition, lenses were placed on the wall behind the oil lamp to reflect the light to the stage position.
The seats in the theater are even more extraordinary. They are made of dark sofas with cloth covers on the outside, and they are extremely soft when sitting on them.
The emperor naturally sat in the middle, with Li Miaohan and Li Yuanzhao on both sides, and Fang Zhengyi naturally arranged for herself to sit next to the princess.
As soon as Emperor Jing sat on the sofa, he fell into it.
At first, I was a little scared, but soon I discovered the beauty of the sofa, which was soft and comfortable, as if floating in the air.
Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "Fang Qing... I am far inferior to you when it comes to enjoying me. What is this chair called?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "This is called a sofa, which is specially prepared by me for Your Majesty. If your Majesty likes me and I order someone to make a few more hands to the palace after returning to the capital."
It is said to be specially prepared, but it is actually a newly replaced sofa cover.
In order to improve the living standards of the people and solve their boring personal life, Fang Zheng spent a huge amount of money to build this theater.
The entire Taoyuan Theater's cost is second only to that of Taoyuan County, but Fang Zhengyi regrets it after the repair.
He didn't like to watch the things performed by the people of Taoyuan. He was very bored in the robe. After watching a few shows, he stopped coming. Instead, the people of Taoyuan all watched them with relish.
Later, he saw that the theater tickets were selling well, and he wrote many stories himself, abbreviated version of Journey to the West Legend of the White Snake, etc.
The box office was also good, but that was a long time ago. He didn't know what was popular in the theater now. Before he arrived, he just asked Ao Chen to arrange a few good shows in the letter.
All officials were surprised to sit on the sofa, touching left and right.
I wanted to ask Fang Zhengyi but I was embarrassed to speak.
Li Yansong leaned on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh... it's really good, it's really good here. I also want to make two chairs at home."
"It would be even better if there were one in the public housing. My old waist has always been in pain over the years, and it feels much more comfortable when I sit on this chair."
Zhang Dongxiang whispered: "Mr. Li, why don't you go and ask Fang Zhengyi where the chair is sold? I want to buy two."
"Why don't you ask yourself?"
"I am irreconcilable with the villain!"
................
After everyone sat down, the maid started serving tea. The emperor and his family naturally drank the tea that Fang Zhengyi usually drank, while the others drank the big fairy tea.
Fang Zhengyi specially prepared another small dessert to deliver to the princess. Li Yuanzhao showed a pair of red eyes through Emperor Jing, locking Fang Zhengyi tightly.
Fang Zhengyi ignored him and said to Li Miaohan: "Your Highness, today's play is very exciting, especially the end of the story of the White Snake, which tells the beautiful love between man and god. I guarantee that your highness will be worthy of this trip."
Li Miaohan nodded with a smile. She was very happy to be able to leave the palace today. Except for feeling a little uncomfortable on the road, everything made her feel very fresh after arriving in Taoyuan County.
After saying that, Fang Zheng approached Emperor Jing and whispered: "Your Majesty, the show will begin soon. I will go out and arrange it first."
Emperor Jing agreed.
Then he walked out of the theater and found Ao Chen who was on duty outside the door.
He asked, "How is the sweet potatoes in the field?"
"Don't worry, Master. After receiving the letter, I ordered people to guard it day and night. If there is no problem, I left you the best piece of land to ensure a good harvest!"
Fang Zhengyi patted his shoulder: "Beautiful job! The guards who looked at the ground added a ginseng for dinner!"
"How are the program being prepared? What are you preparing?"
Because I don’t know what programs are popular in the county, I just gave Ao Chen a rough instruction in the letter, and then named the name and chose the Legend of the White Snake.
Is it okay to sit with the beautiful girl princess and see if it’s not a bit sad love story?
After hearing this, Ao Chen suddenly slapped his thighs and said annoyedly: "Oh! I forgot to inform the troupe that it was performing for His Majesty today, and only told the theater to clear the scene today..."
"But don't worry, Master, we have watched the program schedule and all the programs in it agree with your request, so we forgot to give it a special explanation!"
Fang Zheng frowned: "It's okay, just act according to your usual performance, but what kind of program are you doing today?"
Ao Chen thought for a while and said, "Well... the first children's performance, singing and dancing youth, the second is Fang Qingtian's angry beheading Chen Shimei, and the third is the Legend of the White Snake, only these three."
After listening, Fang Zheng stretched his eyebrows.
Fortunately, these programs are indeed quite suitable, and His Majesty and the officials will definitely not see these programs, which will definitely be refreshing and feel particularly fresh.
"Good! Then let's do it, just act normally."
"There is another thing. Have people from the Wu Prince's Mansion come to the county recently?"
"I've been here, and I've been in a batch of wine as usual, with no more or less, and there's no special performance. As usual, what's the problem, is there any problem?"
Fang Zheng thought for a moment: "Pick two good men from the county to come to Beijing, don't let anyone know. When you go to the capital, check the King of Wu."
Ao Chen's face was stern: "Don't worry, lord, I'll go back and arrange it."
Since he entered Beijing, he has dealt with the people under the King of Wu twice, and once he came to him.
Another time, the other party came to the door on his own initiative.
But when Luo Ningxin went to Zangxiang Pavilion, she was too enthusiastic about herself.
Although the King of Wu had no malice, this feeling of hiding behind the scenes had already made Fang Zhengyi feel deeply unhappy.
When I was in Taoyuan County, I asked to see the King of Wu but couldn't. Now when I arrived in the capital, I took the initiative to find me... What is the trick?
The most important thing is that King Wu is clearly the famous idle prince in the capital.
My private ability is probably far beyond ordinary people's imagination... The problems are definitely small.
Then Fang Zheng asked many questions about the county one by one.
In the middle, I went back to the entrance of the theater and looked at the performance on the stage through the crack of the door. A group of children were jumping like flowers.
It looks like performing the Spring Festival Gala, so stupid that I don’t know why the people in Taoyuan are willing to watch such bad programs. When they saw that they were bored, they retreated and then talked to Ao Chen about the situation in the county.
Time passed by bit by bit, and most of the time had passed.
When Fang Zhengyi rushed into the hall, he found that the Legend of White Snake had already reached the late stage.
Fang Zhengyi was stunned at the door behind the theater.
The emperor and his ministers slowly looked back at him, their expressions filled with complex emotions.
Then he slowly turned his head back, neatly...
