Chapter 187: Watching the Show
(Thanks to the deputy class Lao He for the reward, the deputy class has worked hard.) )
King Teng Zhao Zongdan was in a happy mood, looking at Su Jin's eyes as if he was closer again, everyone chatted for a while, only to see a figure flash at the door of the hall, and an old man in black hurriedly walked in with the hem of his robe.
Su Jin knew this person, this person was Mr. Qin who accompanied King Teng in the small restaurant that day, Su Jin would not treat him as an ordinary staff member at this moment, because he already knew that this Mr. Qin was the chief steward of the ruffians in the four cities, needless to say, he must be one of King Teng's henchmen.
Steward Qin entered the hall with a smile on his face, and Tuan Tuan made a fat promise, and then lowered his hand and said to Zhao Zongdan: "Lord, the stage of the West Garden is ready, see if you and the adults are invited to move to the West Garden, a group of servants are waiting for their eyebrows." ”
Zhao Zongdan patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Very good, everyone, let's go, then Master Chen is afraid that he is in a hurry." ”
Everyone heard the teasing meaning in his tone, and said, "Then let's go quickly, in case this Chen Jiao. The mother was anxious, and went back to talk to Mr. Sanchang, Liu Sanbian wrote words to scold us in anger, and it would be shameless. ”
King Teng laughed, stretched out his hand and beckoned to Su Jin: "Young Master Su, come and walk side by side with this king." ”
Su Jin hurriedly said: "How can this be made, the prince will go first, and then follow." ”
Zhao Zongdan seemed to be extremely satisfied with Su Jin's humility, and said with a smile: "Let's go." "Let's take a step out of the house.
Su Jin's eyes swept away, and he suddenly met a cold gaze, and when he looked at it, the owner of that vision was that Mr. Qin; The cold gaze was only a brief flash, and soon a smile appeared, Su Jin's heart was still 'chuckled', he knew that this Mr. Qin must have known about the events of the previous days.
However, Mr. Qin knew, how could King Teng not know.
"Please Su Gongzi move, Su Gongzi appreciates the light today, and the prince is very happy." Mr. Qin said with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.
Su Jin clenched his fists and bowed down and said: "Mr. Qin, please, Princess Fangchen, how can you not come here, you are loved by the prince, and you don't know how to lift people down." ”
Mr. Qin's beard trembled with a smile: "Mr. Su is a distinguished guest, please move you to be the face of the prince, please follow the adults, I have to go to the front to take care of some, the prince must not be embarrassed." ”
Mr. Qin's words were pun-in.
"Mr. is busy, don't worry, although he is dull down, he is confident that he can't get lost." Su Jin also said with a pun.
"Hahaha, that's not necessarily, this Teng Wangfu is big, so big that you can't imagine it."
"No matter how big it is, it's just a palace, and it's not the inner courtyard of the palace, Mr. Mo is worried."
Mr. Qin's face changed slightly, and he smiled: "In this way, I will be less accompanied, and I will look at the road." With that, he turned around and flicked his hem and walked away.
Su Jin sneered secretly, followed behind everyone, passed through several housing corridors, entered a round door with carved flowers, and then walked forward dozens of steps along a path covered by the rockery.
I saw that a large open space with green grass was already full of tables, benches, chairs and chairs, dozens of large mahogany tables were neatly arranged, on which were placed melons, fruits, wines and various snacks, and a huge Qiluo umbrella cover was propped up on the side of each table to block the still bright sunshine in August.
A high platform rises from the ground in the east, and a large stage is enclosed by red pillars and colored curtains and carved fences, which is extraordinary.
Su Jin secretly applauded, King Teng, who would like to enjoy it, didn't know how much money he spent on such a decoration alone, he originally thought that he had tens of thousands of yuan in his pocket, and his family's property was also a small 300,000 yuan, so he was considered a rich man; Now I know that all this is a drop in the bucket compared to King Teng.
Comparing yourself with the prince is like comparing yourself with the beggar on the street, and the gap between the rich and the poor is like a cloud of mud.
As soon as King Teng arrived, the small officials and squires who sat on the edge of the platform hurriedly got up and saluted, and King Teng beckoned with a spring breeze on his face: "Sit, sit, why be polite, it's better to be at ease with old acquaintances." ”
Everyone thanked them, but they stood still, and only after King Teng, Tang Jie and other officials sat down, they sat down one after another; Zhao Zongdan beckoned to a maid and said, "Go and invite the princess to come, just wait for her, why don't you come out to see anyone." ”
The maid was silent and didn't leave to invite, Zhao Zongdan frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Still not going? ”
Before the maid could answer, Mr. Qin, who was standing on the side, hurriedly bent down and whispered in his ear: "The princess is losing her temper inside." ”
Zhao Zongdan said angrily: "What's the trouble? This little lady is becoming more and more difficult to serve, and it is really incorrigible. ”
"The princess thought that the gold-inlaid jade hairpin she hit the day before yesterday was not good-looking, so she refused to make up, and smashed the big glass fish tank imported from Yi Tanli that Lao Qi gave you the day before yesterday."
"This loser's girl, kicking her nose in the face, you can't give her a good look, you go and tell her, if you make trouble tomorrow and drive out of the house, send to the village in the countryside to feed the livestock, you don't know the blessing in the blessing, if this king is not in the face of her old son, he will never ignore her stubble." Zhao Zongdan scolded angrily.
Mr. Qin said softly: "The prince is angry, everyone is here today, don't let people see the joke; The villain will go to please, if it really doesn't work, then call the princess sick, you just say a few words on your behalf, and the province will come out and twist your hands and feet uncomfortable. ”
King Teng thought for a while with a white face: "It's up to you, go quickly." ”
Mr. Qin agreed and beckoned to the maid, and walked away quickly; Zhao Zongdan suppressed the fire, turned around and talked and laughed with everyone, after a while, several handmaidens with light veils and masked princesses slowly walked from the path on one side, and everyone saluted with a wave of people on their backs, Zhao Zongdan stepped forward with a smile on his face, took the princess's hand, and sat down, and the whole was a good husband who was as gentle as water.
Everyone thought that the princess was present, so they naturally wanted to say a few words, but they didn't expect the prince to wave his hand, and the stage suddenly became full of silk and bamboo, and they started acting directly.
Su Jin watched the play for the first time, and he didn't have a good impression of the stinky and long drama painted on his face like a monkey's buttocks, and he didn't feel a word funny when he was like an old lady's footcloth, not to mention that there were two old men on the stage.
In fact, Su Jin understands the drama department of this era, the miscellaneous dramas of the Song Dynasty are very interesting, there are hundreds of miscellaneous dramas staged every day in the Washe Gou column of the major state capitals, and many literati students who are depressed and depressed in the imperial examination have created a large number of scripts and lyrics in order to make a living.
In the reign of Renzong, the miscellaneous drama has been on a higher stage, not only the people love to watch, but also the dignitaries and nobles of the major ceremonies of the festival also gradually like to invite the servants to come to perform the miscellaneous drama, which is lively.
These miscellaneous dramas have gradually become formally regulated, like word cards for filling in words, gradually forming a set of four-paragraph paragraphs; The first paragraph is the glamorous paragraph, which is the introduction to the main drama; The second and third stanzas are miscellaneous dramas, which are some story singing, burlesque rap or dancing, and the fourth stanza is miscellaneous plays, mainly funny content, for fun after watching it.
Of course, Su Jin is not interested in any of this, the only reason for Su Jin to persist is that Master Li will come on the stage to sing later, from Zhao Zongdan's mouth, Su Jin knows that Master Li is a famous prostitute in the capital, and Liu Yong's friend; Although he hasn't met Yoo Yong yet, it doesn't hurt to meet his confidante.
But this miscellaneous drama is long and boring, Su Jin looked at the big and small officials around him laughing first and then together, and couldn't help but be surprised, people are really different from each other, do you want to blame these on cultural differences? It's all the descendants of the dragon, and it's really unreasonable to talk about cultural differences.
Su Jin really couldn't hold it anymore, leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how long it took, Su Jin was shocked by the thunderous cheers, and looked around in a daze, only to see a woman in Tsing Yi on the stage flashed and disappeared into the background, and the curtains on both sides of the stage were also slowly pulled up, and everyone was happily discussing.
Su Jin hurriedly pulled an official beside him and asked, "Dare to ask this adult, what's wrong with Shicai?" ”
The official looked Su Jin up and down a few times and said, "Didn't you see it?" Bianliang Golden Voice, Master Chen's skills, are not yet in your eyes? Tut-tut, that figure, that voice, the body is like a willow branch dancing in the spring breeze, and the sound is like a yellow oriole singing in the green forest. ”
The official squinted and admired, and his face was intoxicated.
Su Jin opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time and said, "Is it Master Chen who is the one who performs?" ”
The official glanced at Su Jin with disdain and said, "This brother is entertaining the masters, Master Chen came up and reported to his family, you won't not hear it, besides, besides, except for her, who can sing such a good song." ”
Su Jin almost slapped himself in the mouth, why did he fall asleep, he didn't do anything bad last night, didn't he just grab Huanniang and kiss her mouth for a while, and touched the little white rabbit on her chest? Why was his body so sleepy, he actually overslept and missed Master Chen's appearance.
The official looked at the red marks pressed from the back of the chair on Su Jin's face, and said with wide eyes: "Don't tell me that you have been sleeping until now." ”
Su Jin nodded shamefully and said, "It's asleep, damn it." ”
The official rolled his eyes, looked at Su Jin's eyes like looking at a broken shoe, shook his head and smacked his lips and said: "Violent heavenly things, you can fall asleep when Master Chen sings music, I can serve you, let me tell you, you not only missed a good song, but also missed a good word, the song "Queqiao Immortal" sung by Master Chen was composed by the prince himself, and the words were made by a new talent, I heard that it was on the scene, you regret going to you." ”
After speaking, he smacked his lips and gloated. Su Jin was already annoyed, and after he rendered it like this, he regretted that his intestines were blue.
