"No, what's wrong? Is there a new girl in Qunyu Courtyard?"
"There are no new girls, but there are quite a few new tricks. It would be a pity that you didn't go."
"Tell me, tell me, my wife is going back to her parents' house today, I'll go and see her in the evening."
"Tsk, tsk, what the girls in Qunyuyuan are wearing now is called a temptation. Do you know, they don't wear bellybands now, then, that seems to be called a bra... Oh, it can't be done anymore, I have to give it to my family.
Madam, I’ll also buy a few..."
When he saw two young people on the street deliberately raising their voices to discuss something, attracting many like-minded people to listen, Li Yi was a little stunned. Who invited these shills? Their acting skills were poor, their performances were exaggerated, and they had no lines.
With a little depth, can it be a little more fake?
While I was thinking this, a man suddenly came up to me and said in surprise: "Brother, what you are talking about is the most popular new underwear in Kyoto recently? To be honest, I also want to buy a set for my wife, but...
I don’t know where I can buy it?”
"I must be a fellow-traveler, so I won't hide it from you..." The man who just spoke said with a smile: "Go straight along this road, turn left at the first intersection, and turn left at the second intersection.
Turn right at the intersection and walk about ten feet further, and you will see the shop. However, only women can enter there. Brother, please remember to bring your wife with you..."
"Oh, thank you, brother, thank you, brother..."
…
…
"Uncle, what are they talking about?" Xiaohuan asked, blinking.
"Children, don't ask so many questions. Let's go and listen to the show." Li Yi patted her on the head and said.
"I'm not young anymore..." The little maid looked down, muttered, and followed quickly.
Seeing more and more people gathered around that place, Li Yi was surprised. She had really started to reform underwear, but the marketing techniques were a bit low, and she might have to suffer some losses to realize it.
Passing by the shop that the man mentioned just now, I saw that the queue of women outside the shop had already reached three to five feet away. They were all gorgeous, and they were still ogling the men passing by, and kept urging the people in front to hurry up.
Standing at the door of the shop was a woman who was stronger than Lao Fang, the same woman who blocked him from entering the workshop that day.
She just said that she might suffer a loss, but she didn't expect that the store's business was so booming. Her face was burning with pain, so she pulled Xiaohuan and left quickly. If she stayed a little longer, she might have to go into the store to have a look out of curiosity.
It didn't take long to realize that among those people, most of them were women from brothels. Women from ordinary families were not so bold and blatantly bought those shameful personal items. I am afraid that brothels everywhere had to raise their prices because of Qunyuyuan.
If one's own core competitiveness is compared with others in certain aspects, over time, the company will lose due to lack of popularity.
Although the price of those small pieces of cloth is a bit more expensive, the customers like it!
…
…
Naturally, the most popular opera these days is "The Peacock Flies Southeast". How popular Goulan is among the people can be seen from the fact that every ticket for each performance is sold out.
There are several standardized check-in bars. In addition to the ordinary sessions, there are also VIP sessions and women's sessions. The tickets for the VIP sessions are more expensive, but the service is more attentive. Free smoothies and cold drinks are provided in summer. As for the women's session, it is
It was opened recently.
There are differences between men and women, especially for women. It is impossible for them to be crowded into a crowded place with so many men. The first person to propose this idea was Wan Ruoqing. Among women, there are actually many who like to listen to operas, especially
Being emotional, they prefer dramas that describe love such as "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "The Peacock Flies Southeast".
When Li Yi and Xiao Huan walked into Goulan, they saw many women coming in and out with curtains covering their faces. Judging from their clothes, they did not look like ordinary people.
Ruyi was invited by the Crown Princess today. They had a lot of gatherings these days. Miss Liu Er was naturally busy every day. Even Yongning was taken into the palace by the old emperor for two days. Out of boredom, she could only take the little girl with her.
Come out and watch the show.
"The Peacock Flies Southeast" is a recent new play. It tells the story of the talented and beautiful Liu Lanzhi during the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Lujiang official Jiao Zhongqing who sincerely fell in love with each other. However, her mother-in-law Jiao's mother made things difficult for Liu Lanzhi because she had not given birth for two or three years.
, Lanzhi resolutely asked to return, but Zhongqing's plea to his mother was ineffective, so the couple had to say goodbye, and both "swore not to be in debt to God."
After Liu Lanzhi returned home, she was forced to marry by her evil brother, and she had no choice but to agree to marry the son of the prefect. Jiao Zhongqing came after hearing about the incident, and the couple agreed to "meet under the underworld." On the happy day of Lanzhi's wedding, Liu Lanzhi "went there
"Qingchi", Jiao Zhongqing "hanged himself on the southeast branch", and the couple both died in love.
Before the play even started, an old storyteller read "The Peacock Flies Southeast" in a sad and hoarse voice.
"On that day, the cows and horses were neighing, and the bride was entering the green house. After dusk, she was about to die, and the lonely man was determined to begin. "I am destined to die today, and my soul will leave and my body will stay forever!" He took off his skirt, took off his silk shoes, and went to the clear pond. The officials heard this.
I know in my heart that we will never leave. I wander under the tree in the courtyard and hang myself on the southeastern branch."
Before the main drama even started, Xiaohuan was already holding Li Yi's arm and crying quietly.
"Auntie, uncle, Lanzhi, Lanzhi is so pitiful, that old woman, why is she so bad!"
Shouldn't the ending of a good love story be that the two people get back together and live happily together for the rest of their lives?
One of them went to the clear pond, and the other hung himself from a branch in the southeast------It was so miserable!
Li Yi patted the little maid's shoulder to express comfort. It was a bit miserable, but there was nothing we could do about it. How could it move more people if it wasn't miserable? How could it cause many women to reflect on their status and raise concerns if it wasn't miserable?
Even if there is even a hint of resistance to feudalism and feudal ethics, it is not miserable - how can this fire burn brighter?
It is said that many literati are angry young people who dare to write anything with a pen, especially those who write novels and scripts. The most indispensable thing is rebels. The scale is astonishing.
I don’t know what this “Anonymous” thinks. Does he think that the recent period is not too sensitive? What is the purpose of writing such a thing?
Do you want to expose the cannibalistic nature of feudal ethics and enthusiastically praise Liu Lanzhi, Jiao Zhongqing and his wife's rebellious spirit of being loyal to love and resisting oppression? Or do you want to express the people's passionate yearning for the freedom of love and marriage?
In particular, she created Liu Lanzhi, a typical image of an ancient woman who was as faithful to her family obligations as a woman could achieve, but could only end up tragically, hinting at the tragic fate of women in feudal society.
What do the women who read the drama think?
Li Yi sighed and said: "You have ulterior motives, you have ulterior motives..."
