086 Plunder
As soon as Gu Yanfei finished speaking, the sound of silk and bamboo playing in the direction of the stage suddenly changed, from violent and violent to gentle and gentle. The atmosphere and rhythm of the music seemed to be foreshadowing something.
Murong Yong stopped halfway up the stairs, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the stage again with a smile on his face.
The next moment, an actor dressed in an emerald green dress and as gorgeous as a peach and plum appeared on the stage. His hair was full of pearls, bright and lively, and his every move exuded a lively temperament.
This beautiful appearance and figure attracted a lot of praise.
That Qing Yi is the singer in the play. She fell in love with him at first sight because she was rescued by the prince of the Hou family.
Tsing Yi danced her sleeves reservedly on the stage and sang out the girl's thoughts in a sweet voice. Her singing voice was full of charm.
"Hold this Tsing Yi." Chu Yi pointed at the Tsing Yi who had just appeared on the stage.
Out of the corner of her eye, Gu Yanfei glanced at Qing Yi, who was flying back and forth on the stage like a butterfly, and asked curiously: "What's the trick?"
She tilted her head slightly and lifted her chin with her right hand, her eyes shining with interest.
"..." Chu Yi rarely finished her words, her expression was subtle, and for a moment, she almost saw a curious cat's tail waving behind her.
He sighed quietly in his heart, not knowing whether to lament that Gu Yanfei was not seeing him, or that this girl was really heartless.
Chu Yi considered his words carefully and said: "Murong Yong loved to listen to operas and music. He was a frequent visitor to major theaters and fireworks places in the capital. In addition to Murong's Mansion, he also had a house in his own name in the capital. He often visited
Go stay in that house for a while."
Considering that Gu Yanfei was an unmarried girl after all, Chu Yi didn't talk about "keeping an actress" or "keeping an extra wife", but the implication was already clear.
After finishing speaking, Chu Yi lowered his head to drink again, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.
The usually calm young man showed a rare hint of discomfort at this moment.
Gu Yanfei drank wine carelessly, completely unaware of Chu Yi's strange behavior. The more he listened, the more he felt that Murong Yong was really unreliable.
In the last life, Murong Yong did not break off the engagement because of Gu Yunzhen's disfigurement. She thought that the Murong family should be an upright family and that there was nothing wrong with Murong Yong's character.
In addition, Gu Yunzhen never reported good news but not bad news.
Thinking about it now, her understanding of Murong Yong in her previous life was still too superficial.
Now when I hear Chu Yi talk about this, I can't help but feel a little bit uneasy.
Gu Yanfei once again thought of Gu Yunzhen's bleak luck, and how Gu Yunzhen looked slightly haggard when she occasionally returned to her parents' home after getting married in her previous life. She couldn't recover for a long time.
At this moment, a thought emerged clearly: Maybe the marriage between Gu Yunzhen and Murong Yong in the previous life was not as good as outsiders imagined...
I'm afraid I might have some preconceptions.
"good!"
Suddenly there was a burst of excited cheers from below, followed by warm applause.
Gu Yanfei lowered his eyes and looked downstairs in the direction of the stage.
The plot gradually reaches its climax.
When the singer learned that the prince of the Hou family had a fiancée, she took the lotus fan left by the prince and ran to the palace to find the princess. She said that the prince of the Hou family did not like red tape, rules and etiquette, and the engagement with the princess was just a responsibility;
The prince belongs to Jianghu, and he begs the princess to help her and her sweetheart, and return the lotus fan painted by the princess to its original owner...
The princess was so traumatized that she fainted, causing the audience to boo.
The drama is over.
Several palace lanterns on the stage were extinguished, the curtain was hung from above, and the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly stopped.
The audience was still unfinished, and finally found their voices at this moment, discussing the drama just now.
At one moment he said that Huadan was indeed well-deserved, at another moment he said that Huadan and Tsing Yi were both beautiful and pretty, and each had their own merits. At the next moment, he commented on the singing voices and figures of those actors...
Everyone was talking loudly, and everyone was drunk and drunk.
The atmosphere was lively.
A waiter happily beat the gongs and drums below and shouted: "Guest Tianzi C will reward Miss He Yanxia with one hundred taels of gold."
He Yanxia is the stage name of Qing Yi.
Immediately afterwards, Qing Yi came out from the backstage, blessed everyone and thanked them in public.
Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar.
After all, one hundred taels of gold is equivalent to one thousand taels of silver!
A burst of thunderous applause sounded from below, one after another, and the atmosphere in the theater became more and more enthusiastic.
Seeing the crowd below in admiration, Murong Yong curled up his lips, feeling somewhat complacent.
He raised the corners of his lips and was about to call the waiter when the corner of his eye swept across the door and saw a tall, familiar figure walking into Tianyin Pavilion.
He was a man in his fifties, with a strong build, with silver threads in his hair, a dark face with a rough beard, a brown brocade robe with dark eight immortal patterns wrapped around the general's belly, his steps were firm, and it looked like
There was quite a bit of calm and awe-inspiring aura here.
This is?! Murong Yong's eyes lit up and he stood up quickly.
He quickly walked down the stairs, walked towards the visitor with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said: "Wei... Master, what a coincidence."
In front of everyone, Murong Yong couldn't tell the other party's true identity, so he called him Master Wei.
"You are Murong..." Mr. Wei also had some impressions of Murong Yong. He remembered that his surname was Murong and that he had achieved a moderate military exploit not long ago, but that was all.
"Junior Murong Yong." Murong Yong immediately responded, with a respectful yet warm smile on his face, and he exchanged pleasantries with the other party, "It turns out that Mr. Wei also likes theater as much as this junior."
Gu Yanfei, who was in the private seats on the second floor, was looking down at the two people who were chatting happily. She raised her eyebrows, raised her finger and pointed at "Mr. Wei", and said casually: "Ah, this man is about to be unlucky."
Looking at his dark aura, it was as if ink had been poured over his head!
All living beings are equal. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal conditions of life. No matter whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, they cannot escape these four words. After all, it is "If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death."
"Moreover," Gu Yanfei's eyes turned to the center of "Master Wei's" brows, and he pinched his sleeve with his right hand and said, "One cup of tea at most."
Chu Yi also saw clearly the person coming below, raised his graceful sword eyebrows slightly, and whispered: "Duke Wei?"
It turned out that this was Duke Wei! Gu Yanfei took another look.
There were four Dukes in the Da Jing Dynasty, and their titles were hereditary and their positions were still stable in the court. However, Gu Yanfei did not know much about the other three Dukes besides the British Duke, and had never seen them.
Gu Yanfei blinked, pointed at Duke Wei and asked, "Is this person important?" She was referring to Chu Yi.
She asked quite directly, so Chu Yi also responded very directly: "Three generations of important ministers, their actions will determine the importance."
Seeing that Gu Yanfei was listening attentively, Chu Yi continued: "The grandfather of Wei Shen, the Duke of Wei, was the first Duke of Wei, Wei Ding."
"Wei Ding and Emperor Taizu got acquainted when he was in decline. The two were sworn brothers. They trusted Taizu the most and even married Princess Jiade, Taizu's biological sister."
"Wei Ding is an upright man with a strong heart. Back then, when the late emperor proposed deposing the crown prince, he scolded him so much that he didn't even dare to get angry."
Gu Yanfei tilted her head. She was very good at arithmetic, but she just couldn't bear to calculate the family lines. She took a detour in her mind before she figured out the relationship between the characters.
In other words, Wei Ding is the uncle of the late emperor, and Wei Shen, the current Duke of Wei, is the cousin of the current emperor and the cousin of Chu Yi.
Chu Yi took a sip of his drink and started talking about the first Duke of Wei and the current Duke of Wei, Wei Shen: "Wei Ding's eldest son and second son died in battle at a young age. Wei Shen was raised by Wei Ding since he was a child.
It’s quite the style of his ancestors.”
"When Wei Shen was young, he went to the northwest to guard the border for more than ten years. His military exploits were so great that he made the Xirong people bow their heads and become vassals, and they did not dare to attack our country again."
Wei Shen had tremendous military exploits and was one of the best in the army. Therefore, even after Wei Ding's death, the late emperor had a grudge against Duke Wei, but he could do nothing about it.
Chu Yi knew that Gu Yanfei had just arrived in the capital and might not know much about government affairs, so he explained it in a little more detail.
Gu Yanfei really didn't understand government affairs. When she was in the Yaoling Realm, she only focused on practicing. In her previous life, she was just a little girl trapped in the Hou Mansion, drifting with the tide.
However, Gu Yanfei is smart and astute. After traveling in the Yaoling world, she has experienced a wider sky, and her horizons have also broadened. Her whole person seems to have been reborn. Now she is not only able to understand one thing, but also able to draw inferences from one instance to another.
Gu Yanfei gently stroked the plum blossom hosta with a smile. The touch under his fingers was warm and delicate, and a faint spiritual energy lingered on his fingertips.
"Can I help you?"
Since Wei Shen's position in the court was very important, he must also be very important to Chu Yi who was as unlucky as himself.
Gu Yanfei's fingertips gently rubbed the plum blossom at one end of the hosta, as if he was carefully feeling the veins of each petal.
She was in a good mood, and that bright and bright smile appeared naturally in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, like pearls and jade, as bright and beautiful as any.
Her smile is extremely contagious, flowing into people's hearts like a river of spring water or a ray of spring breeze.
Chu Yi stared at her blankly, lost his mind for a moment, his heart was filled with ripples, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
The mouth is one step faster than the brain: "Okay."
When his rationality returned, Chu Yi realized his gaffe and went to get the wine glass in a covert manner. The wine in his mouth seemed to be sweeter and longer, making him suddenly feel a little tipsy.
The sound of gongs and drums outside sounded again, which meant that the second part of the play had begun.
There was an extra bed on the stage, and Hua Dan, holding a folding fan in her hand, was lying on her side on the couch with her eyes closed. The thick and dark eyeliner made her skin look even paler, and revealed a touch of pitiful charm.
There was silence in the theater for a moment, and he was the only one who deserved to be the protagonist here.
Gu Yanfei stared at the actress with interest. His whole body was still surrounded by a rich scarlet color, and the blood-like air flow made him as charming as a flower and as charming as a fox.
"It's so beautiful."
Gu Yanfei murmured, the smile on the corners of his lips became even stronger, and pear dimples appeared on his cheeks.
