"The prince-in-law came closer and took a closer look. It was written that Qin Xianglian was thirty-two years old and she was suing the prince-in-law of the day. She deceived the king, concealed the truth from the emperor, married a man who regretted his marriage and married his wife, and killed his wife and son with a conscience..."
On the stage, an old man sang impassionedly, and the audience listened attentively.
This piece of play is a new play that was released not long ago, called "The Case of the Beauty". It tells the story of a ruthless scholar who won the top prize and was recruited as a consort. He abandoned his original wife and wanted to kill his wife and son for the sake of wealth and future.
story.
As soon as this play was released, it became very popular in Kyoto. The fictional Bao Qingtian in the play was no stranger to them. This plot of defying power to defend the people's grievances and lashing out at the wicked is simply very satisfying. He is just an ordinary person living at the bottom.
My favorite thing to watch.
At this juncture, if there really is a heartless person who is greedy for wealth and abandons his wife and children, his spine will probably be broken by everyone.
In the private room upstairs, Miss Zeng wiped away her tears and looked at Li Yi with some resentment, "Okay, why did you come up with such a scene..."
Needless to say, she is overflowing with sympathy, and she naturally sympathizes with Qin Xianglian's mother and son in the play.
Wan Ruoqing is used to seeing these scenes. She has watched this play countless times from script to arrangement to stage. Naturally, she was not touched at this time. She smiled and said: "This is just a play.
, if it weren’t for such twists and turns, which stirred people’s emotions, not many customers would be willing to watch it..."
Zeng Zuimo looked at her, curled his lips and said, "You will speak for him..."
Wan Ruoqing could only shake her head and smile.
Li Yi looked at the Goddess of Luoshui and defended himself: "Art originates from life and is higher than life. Although it is a drama, it also reflects social reality. When I was eating in a restaurant today, I met a real-life "
Chen Shimei, "You are too simple-minded and don't understand the ugliness of this world..."
He thought of something and said: "By the way, if you have the chance, help me thank the Madam of Qunyu Courtyard. If it hadn't been for her this time, there might have been some little trouble."
"She has never been someone who likes to suffer losses." Zeng Zuimo shook his head and said, "I came here to negotiate terms in the morning. New styles from the underwear shop in the future must be supplied to them first..."
These are all trivial matters. After Si Tianjian's failure, the Cui family's attempt to use these officials to stir up trouble this time was a bit too naive. It was just a piece of loose sand and had a very limited effect.
I just don’t know what kind of methods they will use next time after another defeat this time.
It's not that we haven't considered solving the problem once and for all, but how can a family with deep roots in Jingguo that has been in Jingguo for hundreds of years fall so easily?
At least, a lead with enough weight is needed...
…
"Trash, it's all trash!"
In the lobby of the Cui family, a row of young people dressed as officials were kneeling. Cui Qingze, the head of the Cui family, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. His expression was ferocious and he kept roaring. The kneeling people in the hall lowered their heads and looked majestic.
I didn't even dare to take a breath.
The arrangements he made, without exception, all failed, and there was not even a little stir. On the contrary, because of these things, the public opinion was completely reversed. In this invisible confrontation, the Cui family once again...
Once - a complete failure!
Cui Qingming, who was standing aside, looked at the trembling people, waved his hands, and said, "Everyone, go down."
As if they had been granted amnesty, several people quickly got up from the ground and disappeared into the hall in an instant.
Cui Qingze was slumped on the chair, his eyes were dull and his expression was depressed.
"Brother..."
As soon as Cui Qingming opened his mouth, he was interrupted directly.
Cui Qingze stared blankly ahead and murmured: "Qingming, tell me, are we getting further and further away from that road?"
Cui Qingming clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "The empress is still here, Your Highness is still here, we haven't lost yet, and the Cui family hasn't lost yet..."
…
"We lost miserably yesterday. Chu Ping was the only one who won the most. In today's game, no matter what, you have to invite me, right?"
In Miaoyin Pavilion, a young man put his arm around another young man's shoulders and said with a smile.
"This is natural." Chu Ping nodded and whispered: "However, we must not let my grandpa know about our going to the gambling house..."
Cui Xixin patted his chest and said: "Of course we know this, don't worry. If the Taifu finds out, won't we also have to be punished?"
Chu Ping was relieved and touched the banknote in his arms, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.
The Chu family has a strict upbringing. Although he is the eldest son, because of this, his elders have even stricter requirements for him. He traveled around with his grandfather before and gained more knowledge. This time he returned to Kyoto and was accompanied by these friends.
You know, it turns out that there are so many fun things in this world.
"Come on, come on, go in first..." Cui Xixin waved his hand, pointed to Qin Yu beside him, and said as he walked: "Listen to Junliang, Chu Ping, you also like that bite. You can talk to Mr. Qin more about this."
If you communicate with each other, I believe you will learn a lot from my young father-in-law."
Chu Ping's face turned red and he said quickly: "Go in and talk, go in and talk..."
A plump woman came out from inside and said with a smile: "Oh, it's a coincidence that these gentlemen are here today. In the sky above, the girls are preparing to perform..."
Chu Ping asked doubtfully: "Miss Shuangshuang?"
Cui Xixin smiled and explained: "Miss Shuangshuang's piano skills are one of the best in Miaoyin Pavilion. You will know when you go up and listen. You are quite accomplished in the piano. Maybe you can also compete with Miss Shuangshuang...
…”
Miaoyin Pavilion is a well-known music hall in Kyoto. There is a constant flow of customers on weekdays. A few people went up to the second floor and entered the Tianzi Room under the guidance of the beautiful woman.
The room is very spacious, and there are small rooms separated inside. There are bead curtains hanging outside, forming a ring that surrounds the middle table.
At this time, there was already a woman on the stage. The woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was pretty and cute, but her face was a little pale. At first glance, she gave people a feeling of weakness. The man in the scene
Whenever I see her appearance, I can't help but want to hold her in my arms and take pity on her.
Cui Xixin stretched out his palm, waved it in front of Chu Ping's eyes, and said with a smile: "Hey, what are you looking at? My eyes are straight."
"No, it's nothing..." Chu Ping's face turned red and he lowered his head in panic.
"Could it be that these girls are your type?" Cui Xixin looked at him in surprise and said, "Last time Junliang told me, I didn't believe it. It turns out that you really like this sickly look..."
"But..." He shook his head sadly.
"But what?" Chu Ping immediately raised his head.
"This Shuangshuang girl is a good woman. It is said that her family background is not good and her body is very weak. She only occasionally plays a song here. This time, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
There was some undisguised regret in Cui Xixin's words. Although Miaoyin Pavilion was a music studio, it was actually doing a prostitution business behind the scenes. Of course, this place was naturally much more upscale than the brothels outside. There were also simple musicians among them.
This Shuangshuang girl is one of them.
He changed his voice and said again: "My fair lady, a gentleman is always brave. If you really like Chu Ping, then pursue him boldly. The Chu family is so noble, and you may not be unable to win the hearts of both girls."
The sound of the piano was already playing at this moment. Chu Ping closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while, then opened his eyes and said with admiration: "Miss Shuangshuang's piano skills can be called everyone's."
Cui Xixin patted his shoulder and said: "Don't be sad, I will arrange a similar one for you later. Isn't it the sickly type? As long as you have money, you can't find anything..." However, I just received the
Don't even think about the one we came in, that belongs to Mr. Qin..."
Chu Ping looked at the beautiful woman just now and immediately shook his head, sighing secretly in his heart, this young master Qin has really unique preferences...
