Chapter 182: The Evening Festival is Not Guaranteed
There is naturally a permanent stage in a deep courtyard like the royal mansion. With their identities, it is impossible to go outside to watch the show if you have anything to do. This stage has now become a standard for high-ranking players.
I just heard that Qin Hao was very particular about this. He had the final say in what the actors in the world sang or not. This inevitably made Princess Tong'an unhappy again.
After a while, the opera singers arrived. Because it was a new opera, there were not many people who could sing, and few were willing to run into the house. Therefore, the price of hiring people was not low. Fortunately, this was just a small opera, and the kind that could be performed by three or two people, and it would not cost much.
The play is called Xiao Guxian. I like it when I heard the name of Princess Tong'an. Although the old lady was Li Tang's princess, she was not interested in the dramas of emperors, generals and ministers. On the contrary, she prefers talented men and beautiful women, and this kind of family matter is even more beautiful.
Then he heard the actor on the stage sing:
"Since this little bitch she's been through the door.
I don't want to be together after coming to my old age
Do I beat her three times a day?
I will fight nine times in three days and I will not forgive her.
The next day I won't fight
I chopped the chopping board with a kitchen knife and scolded me.
All the neighbors gave me nicknames.
Everyone in the village said that I was a yaksha.
I wanted to torture her this morning.
There is nothing wrong with me.
I was upset and went out to play.
If she doesn't ask me about cooking, I will beat her up!"
...
Princess Tong'an was very interested in listening and often threw a handful of copper coins to reward him. She was so happy to see.
Not only Princess Tong'an, but almost all the performers in Chang'an City are learning this young lady. Although the play only has the first half and no second half, this novel comedy form has quickly gained popularity among the public.
Of course, the most important thing is Qin Hao's guidance, the highest instruction from Fengyan Yamen. In three days, Chang'an City can only sing the little Guxian except for the Qin King breaking the formation and raiding Yinshan. Fortunately, this little Guxian is a classic in Lu's play, and its level is naturally enough. At least for the time being, whether it is singing or listening, it is very popular.
In this way, the little aunt-in-law sang for three days, and from time to time, he would listen to people saying these words on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. Qin Hao felt that the popularity was almost done, so he finally let Changsun go out.
"Hey, have you heard that the evil mother-in-law in the little girl and sister-in-law has a prototype in reality."
"It's true, is there really such a evil person?"
"Then there is still a falsehood? Tell you, this evil mother-in-law is the dear aunt of the saint today, Princess Tong'an!"
"No, Princess Tong'an? How could such a noble person have such a cruel heart?"
"Who said no? The prototype of Li's family is her second daughter-in-law. Since her son died, she has made things difficult for her. Now she has been driven to her hometown in the countryside. Taiyuan Wang family, what a big sign. I heard that Li's family is now without food and clothing! Last year, the mother and mother almost starved to death!"
"Tsk tsk, why are you so disgusted? Whose daughter is not raised by her father and mother? How can she bully her like this? In the future, she has to make a splash with her daughter. The Wang family has a high family, but if you have such a mother-in-law, what kind of life will you live?"
"Li? Oh, isn't her child Wang Fangyi?"
"Yes, yes, how do you know?"
"Hey! Is this a coincidence? The article in the newspaper a few days ago was called "Shen Zhongyong". Do you know? Do you know who the prototype of Fang Zhongyong is? It's Wang Fangyi!"
"Ah! It's actually like this. Is Wang Fangyi really that amazing?"
"Hey, I know this. Wang Fangyi has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. Later, Li was bullied by Princess Tong'an. He relied on his mother for life and was known as a filial child. I heard that he could also be able to write poetry at the age of four and literary at the age of five. He was a very powerful character. Think about who is Qin Langzhong? He was a scholar of heaven. Who did the peers see? Even the son of the prime minister must behave in front of him. How can the person he likes is worse?"
"Hmph! This young man, instead of staying in Chang'an City to attend home school, he was placed in the countryside to reclaim the land. This child's cleverness will probably not take long to become a commoner."
"As far as the Wang family is concerned, why are you embarrassed to say that poetry and books are passed down from generation to generation? Are you still the five surnames and seven hopes?"
"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I'm the eldest princess Tong'an!"
…………
Similar discussions spread almost in one day. Changsun Chong's second action team also showed his strength. A large number of peripheral personnel may not be able to do anything else, but a rumor was still easy to pass on. In a tavern, teahouse, theater, and even in Pingkangfang, Changsun Chong once promised Qin Hao that as long as there were a little more people in Chang'an City, there would be his spies.
After a few days of hard work, the eldest princess Tong'an, who was indifferent to the world, became a rat crossing the street. Even the sign of the Wang family in Taiyuan was greatly affected. The reason why their Wang family had a transcendent status was that they rely on constant marriages and saying that selling children and daughters and family backgrounds was that they rely on their so-called inheritance of poetry and books and excellent family studies.
As soon as the young lady and the other one hurt Zhongyong, they all hit the Wang family's seven inches. This time they were really anxious.
Princess Tong'an was so angry that she was not dead. The old man may not value wealth, but he particularly valued his reputation. He was about to be finalized in his life. If he was lucky, his name would have to be written in history. At this time, if he was not safe in his later years, he would have to be anxious if he changed him!
The old lady shivered with her hands, swung her sledgehammer, and smashed the newly carved stone tablet in the yard that hurt Zhongyong. At this time, she was so angry that she could not see it. No matter how she looked, it seemed, it was as if the boy Qin Hao was mocking her endlessly.
But the old lady was old and weak after all, and she didn't have much strength. It took a long time to lift the sledgehammer of thirty or fifty pounds, but was stopped by Mr. Wang.
"What are you doing?"
"You can open it for me, I will smash this stone tablet no matter what."
But I heard Mr. Wang say, "No."
"What did you say? Keep him and let others laugh at our house!"
"Oh! The thousand-year inheritance of my Wang family is based on this poetry and calligraphy etiquette. Fang Zhongyong, who was still laughing the day before yesterday, unexpectedly came from my Wang family. This is the shame of my Wang family! But it is precisely because of my Wang family that this inscription should be left behind to warn future generations."
Princess Tong'an was anxious and said angrily: "What a shit Fang Zhongyong! That was what the little ghost said randomly."
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "The Ministry of Personnel has sent someone to see it. It is said that this child is indeed a scholar. Moreover, the Xue family, Pei family, and even the Wei family have sent people to get engaged with this child. My wife, our Wang family is really out of sight this time!"
Princess Tong'an fell to the ground in a daze when she heard this. The suddenly rising boy was her grandson, but she was not happy at all. After a while, she started crying and shouted, "How can you live this? You won't be safe in your later years! It's all my fault, it's all my fault, my Wang family's thousand-year reputation in Taiyuan~ I... I... I'll die to that bastard! See how he explains it to the saint!"
As he said that, Princess Tong'an stood up and ran into the stone tablet with wounded Zhongyong inscribed.
Chapter completed!
