After the rebirth, Lord Hou treats me like a treasure

Chapter 282 Hosting a Banquet 7
The so-called know yourself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles.

Wei Wangning has been avoiding Qi Moyuan for the past few days. She is afraid of being reprimanded by her elder brother for not understanding the rules, so she leaves early and returns late every day, and simply goes to Tianbaohang every day, but she still inquires about many things.

"I won't go to Tianbao today." Wei Wangning leaned on the carriage and said with a smile, "Let's go to Liyuan."

"Are you going to Liyuan?" Gou Dan looked at Wei Wangning in astonishment, and immediately regretted that he should not have mentioned Liyuan in front of her yesterday.

Wei Wangning said, "Miss officials in southern Fujian can go, but can't I go?"

Gou Dan sighed with a headache, "What's the matter?"

Southern Hokkien has only started to civilize a few years ago. It is said that they are official ladies, but they are actually the daughters of local aboriginal patriarchs.

The Liyuan was originally a place for men to listen to operas for fun, but now it has become a place for ladies to gather and have fun. Those official wives see that their men can't go to the Liyuan to support opera singers and spend money, so they don't care about it.

Therefore, today's Liyuan is no longer the original Liyuan.

"This pear garden is very similar to our red makeup and emerald eyebrows." Wei Wangning looked interested. She was not only interested in the pear garden, but also in the official ladies in southern Fujian.

"If Lord Hou knows that you are going to Liyuan, he will be angry." Gou Dan had no choice but to move out of Qi Moyuan.

If Qi Moyuan knew that he took Wei Wangning to the Liyuan, he must have no good fruit to eat.

"You don't tell me, I don't tell you, how does he know?" Wei Wangning was a little afraid of Qi Moyuan, and immediately told Shuangyun, "You must not slip your mouth in front of Shi Yan."

Shuangyun nodded, "The servant will definitely not say anything."

Wei Wangning blinked at Gou Dan, "That's fine."

"..." Gou Dan felt tired.

It felt like she was getting more and more wanton after leaving her status as queen.

The reason why the pear orchard got its name is that it was said that pear trees were planted all over the garden at the beginning, so it was called a pear orchard.Originally, it was just a generation of famous actress Liu Youyou practicing singing here. Later, it took in homeless orphans and taught them to sing and dance. It became the largest theater troupe in southern Fujian. Later, it gradually expanded. Now in addition to singing opera, there is also Jiuting Stadium. Waiting for guests to feast and entertain.

There are indeed similarities with the red makeup and green eyebrows, but the girls in the red makeup and emerald eyebrows are all performers but not their bodies. In the eyes of men, Liyuan is just a high-end brothel.

"It's here." Wei Wangning knew that the Liyuan had arrived when he saw a unique large courtyard appearing in his sight.

Gou Dan felt bitter in his heart, "Girl, the Liyuan is really not suitable for women to enter."

"Aren't those women?" Wei Wangning pointed to the carriage that had just stopped not far away, and two or three women in bright clothes came out of it.

"..." Gou Dan said, "They are just here to watch the show."

Wei Wang said with a smile, "Then I'll go to the theater too."

In the past two years in Liyuan, not only men came to support, many rich ladies also liked to support opera singers, so the guard at the gate was not surprised to see Wei Wangning coming.

"Boss Gou." Seeing Gou Dan, the head of the Liyuan immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

Tianbaohang is well-known in southern Fujian, not to mention that Gou Dan often entertains guests, and he can be regarded as a regular customer in Liyuan.

"This is..." Seeing the pretty little girl standing beside Gou Dan, the manager couldn't judge her identity for a while.

"Our girl is coming to the theater today, just prepare a box." Gou Dan had a serious face, afraid that Wei Wangning would misunderstand him.

The manager looked up at Wei Wangning, and invited them into the theater with a smile.

"Today's drama is Zhao Jun Ji, and the role is Mr. Liu. Now there is no girl in southern Fujian who doesn't like to watch Mr. Liu's play." The director introduced as he walked.

Gou Dan nodded slightly, and introduced to Wei Wangning, "Mr. Liu is the Huadan of Liyuan. If you don't like Zhao Jun Ji, you can order it again later."

"It doesn't matter, I don't choose." Wei Wang said with a smile, she just wanted to see the local style, as for Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu, she was not very interested.

Approaching the theatre, Wei Wangning heard a mellow and crisp singing sound coming from inside, and she couldn't help but said, "It's a beautiful voice, the lingering lingering sound lingers."

The manager smiled, "This is Mr. Liu."

There is no lobby in the theater, only boxes, and no one knows who is inside.

"Originally this box was booked by another guest, but he didn't come today because he was not free. If Boss Gou doesn't mind it, then he will arrange it here." The manager said.

The other boxes with good positions are full of guests, only the box with not the best view is still vacant, none of them can compare to this box, Gou Dan hesitated for a while, looked sideways at Wei Wangning, and nodded in response .

"Who decided this?" Gou Dan asked.

The person in charge said, "This was ordered by the second young master of Chen Duwei's family."

As soon as Gou Dan heard that it belonged to Chen Duwei, he no longer refused. Chen Duwei and him had a pretty good relationship.

"You have a good relationship with the local officials." Wei Wangning saw another side of Gou Dan. She thought he was not sociable, but when she came to Fujian, she found that he could talk to everyone, and he always had a smile on his face. Smiling makes people feel like spring breeze.

It's completely different from the handsome face I always had in Kyoto before.

Gou Dan said, "To do business here, it is inevitable to deal with people."

The person in charge asked someone to bring tea and snacks, and then he backed out with a smile.

Wei Wangning's attention fell on the stage, and he just sang that the civil and military officials were afraid of the Huns, and urged the Yuan Emperor to bear the pain and cut off his love, and exchange beauty for peace.Emperor Yuan had no choice but to let Zhaojun go out of the fortress and go to Baqiao to see off the bridge in person.

"Emperor Yuan is too weak." Gou Dan sighed.

"He lacks a general who can resist the Xiongnu." Wei Wangning's eyes fell on the stage lightly. The Han Dynasty in the play is very similar to the previous Dajin. If it weren't for the Qi family army, the barbarians in Western Xinjiang had already invaded Jin country border.

It's a pity that after years of peace, some people have gradually forgotten the hard-won good days and want to hide their good bows.

"Poor Zhaojun." Gou Dan said.

On the stage, Zhaojun sang so heartbreakingly that it made people cry and feel grief in their hearts.

Wei Wangning looked at her indifferently, "She is pitiful, but what is there to be sorry for if she drowned to death? If you endure the humiliation for a while, there will always be a chance to go back."

"Yes." Gou Dan took a deep look at Wei Wangning.

"Reward." A loud voice sounded, and a young servant put a box of silver on the stage.

Zhaojun still sang emotionally, as if the people and voices around him had nothing to do with him. At this time, he was just Zhaojun, who was about to drown himself in the Heilongjiang River where the Han and Tibetans bordered because he did not want to give up his homeland.

This scene touched people's hearts, and everyone felt sad for Zhaojun.

Following a reward, people brought money to the stage one after another.

"Tsk tsk, you're really rich." Wei Wangning looked at the boxes of silver, she couldn't even offer 100 taels now, and others would only tip a few hundred taels.

Gou Dan smiled and said, "Do you want a reward?"

"Forget it, I'm picky, so I won't give any rewards." Wei Wangning shook his head, as she was reluctant to give away her money like this.
