But there were bright fireworks ahead, and the stage was also performing "Sun Xingzhe Havoc in Heaven" with Yiyang's high tune, big gongs and drums, and it was very lively. There were dozens of people all over the stage dressed as monkeys, doing somersaults and twists.
People are dazzled.
He Muen, the class leader of "Chun Qinghe", took care of everyone. One moment he ran to the back to hurry up and act, and the other moment he ran to the front to see how long the fireworks would last.
Fortunately, he timed it just right, just after the fireworks were going off, the noisy "Havoc in Heaven" had just finished, and he changed to "The Fat Girl Learns the Tongue" from "Journey to the West", it was just a
A play about an old man playing around with his grandchildren and learning to talk.
When the play came to an end, the little boy who played Wang Liuer leaned on his grandfather on the stage and shouted:
"My sister is going to eat glutinous rice, and grandpa is carrying me on his back."
Old Man Hu was surprised: "Well, you are so big and you still call it carrying?"
"No, grandpa is carrying it."
"Grandpa is so old that he can no longer carry it."
The little boy who played Wang Liuer had already received instructions from the class leader He Muen, and he pointed to the audience:
"Grandpa, grandpa, and my sister have already gone to the ancestors in Rongguo Mansion to beg for fruits to eat. Grandpa hurriedly carried me there. I am also anxious to go to the ancestors to eat fruits!"
.
His performance is witty and playful, and it also coincides with the good luck of "the younger brother chases after his elder sister and follows him to Jia's house". How can he not make Jia's mother overjoyed?
While laughing, Jia Mu pointed to the stage and asked:
"Poor Jian'er, how old are you?"
The child didn't have stage fright either. He knelt down, kowtowed, and replied loudly:
"If we go back to our ancestors, the youngest one is eight years old this year."
Jia Mu nodded and said with a smile:
"This child is smart, reward him!"
Immediately, two daughters-in-law came out, each holding a bamboo dustpan in their hands, filled with large amounts of money, and said to the stage:
"My ancestors, concubines, and in-laws rewarded Wang Liuer with fruits to eat!"
As he spoke, he threw all the money in the dustpan onto the stage, only to hear the sound of money filling the stage.
Jia Mu also ordered:
"They have been singing for half a day and they are tired. Especially the children should take a rest and ask the people behind to cook good food for them.
It is not easy for children to learn this, so give them various fruits and other objects to eat."
.
He Muen, the class leader of "Chun Qinghe", saw that he had received another reward, and his face lit up with joy. At one time, he asked a few smart and good-looking children to thank Jia Mu for the reward, and at another time he anxiously stared at people picking up money on the stage. p>
The backstage was in chaos when Jia Lian suddenly saw a girl coming in. He Muen did not dare to neglect and hurriedly greeted her:
"What are your orders, Mr. Lian?"
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"Hurry up and call your cook, Feng Baozi, to recognize him."
Qingwen was also very excited:
"It's my brother!"
"Crazy...leopard?" He Mu'en was confused, "Second Master made a mistake? Isn't that the name of the cook here?"
"Ah?" Jia Lian was also stunned for a moment, "I obviously just saw it?"
He Muen smiled apologetically:
"Second Master, don't worry. There are many people in our troupe. Maybe they are the handymen who are in charge of the boxes and cages. The person in our troupe who is in charge of cooking is Xiu, who cultivates his mind and character."
"Then you call everyone out quickly..."
Before Jia Lian finished speaking, Qingwen had already exclaimed: "My mother's surname is Xiu."
When He Muen heard this, he quickly said:
"Our cook's surname is Xiu, and his name is Aqing."
Jia Lian immediately remembered that Qingwen's brother was also called "Ah Qing" in the Shaobing shop in Gusu. Presumably, he also thought that the name "Leopard" sounded too familiar, so he named himself "Ah Qing".
"Qing" name.
Moreover, now that Feng Sanyou is dead, he has even changed his surname, which shows that he is really disgusted with his rotten gambler and drunkard father, and he no longer wants to be associated with the old name "Feng Baozi".
"That's my brother!"
Qingwen jumped for joy.
Jia Lian smiled and said to He Mu'en:
"Why don't you send someone over quickly? Don't you want the reward?"
.
Not long after, He Muen came with Xiu Aqing. When the brother and sister met, they were so excited that they hugged each other and cried and laughed.
After a while, Qingwen took his brother's hand and said:
"You are the only relative I have left now. You follow the troupe from south to north. If you leave again, where can I look for you in this huge world?"
Xiu Aqing suddenly knelt down to Jia Lian:
"Please forgive me, Mr. Lian, and let me stay as a servant in the house. I can cook and make sesame cakes."
Jia Lian hesitated.
When Ah Qing comes to the house to be a servant, that means he has become a slave, and his social status in the future will be even lower than cooking in a theater troupe. He couldn't say this to his face, so he had to say:
"Do you want to think about it again?"
Qingwen also knelt down:
"Second Master, just accept my brother. He will do a good job and never make Second Master angry. If he doesn't do well, I won't agree to it yet."
What kind of discerning person is He Muen? He could tell at a glance that the relationship between Jia Lian and this girl dressed as a maid was no ordinary master and servant, so he quickly followed suit:
"Although it's not the turn of people like me to speak here, this scene is really touching, so I don't want to say more.
The second master is a kind-hearted person, and today is a good day for the eldest sister to have a bath, so it is a good deed for the two brothers and sisters. It is the merit of the eldest sister."
Ah Qing also said:
"Second Master, I am a sensible person. As long as we brothers and sisters can be taken care of in one place, I will be willing to step in for the Second Master in the future."
Jia Lian grinned:
Your mouth is really good at talking! Do you want to say more?
Who are you stepping into the frying pan for?
Your grandma is the one who needs to be "put in the frying pan"!
.
He Muen left happily holding thirty taels of silver.
Xiu Aqing and Qingwen went to pack their things happily.
Jia Lian came out to Jia Mu's place again. After the show had finished, Jia Mu called two female gentlemen who often visited the house to come in, put two pies on one side, ordered her to sit down, and asked:
"I listened to the male gentleman outside and inside talking about books very lively during the day. Are there any new books that have been added recently?"
The two female ancestors, one holding the string and the other holding the pipa, smiled and said:
"The ancestors are indeed wise. Nowadays, people are talking about a great book that is very good to listen to. It is a new book that came from the south. There are also scenes of civil servants fighting wits and jokes, and there are scenes of knights using swords and guns. It is very good to listen to."<
/p>
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately became excited:
"It sounds very interesting. What is the name of this book?"
"It's called "The Case of Nie Hai Bai Lian Chu Liu Xiang Jia"."
Jia Mu smiled and said:
"Hey, it's still 'Jia Gongan', but it's our family's story. Such a name is very unique. You can give me a general outline first. If it sounds good to you, then elaborate on it."
The female ancestor holding the string said:
"It is said that in the past dynasty, there was a strange man, who was the star of Guangde in the sky and came down to earth to benefit the people of the world. His surname was Jia, his given name was Lian, his courtesy name was Niehai, his nickname was Bailian, and he was also nicknamed Chu Liuxiang..."<

Jia Lian happened to walk in. When he heard these words, his face turned red, turned around and ran away.
