Bachelor

Chapter 401 Audience
When Boss Zhan mentioned the excitement, his body trembled violently, and blood oozed from his buttocks.

Sun Dan was already a little unhappy, he is now an editor of Hanlin, the emperor's imperial secretary, and he has a great reputation in Shilin.He has all the fame he deserves, and now his official career is on the way up.Today, there is no need to increase your influence through other means.

But if he is writing a play for the troupe now, it won't sound too good if it gets out.In the past, when he was not doing editing, helping Zhan boss write music, in the eyes of outsiders, it was an elegant thing to do, but doing it now would be a bit immodest.After all, he is now the deputy envoy representing the emperor and the face of the court.

But looking at Zhanbu's miserable state, he couldn't say no to it.

Sun Dan fell silent unconsciously.

Seeing that Sun Dan was hesitating, Zhanbu knew that there was something to be done, and began to plead loudly: "Master Sun, Lord Sun, although you and I are very different in status, but at this critical moment, please let me call you Brother Jingyuan for the last time. Jingyuan, Have you forgotten the reunion by the Daming Lake, and the dinner held by De Wang? Have you forgotten the past friendship?"

Looking at the sobbing exhibition, Sun Dan was a little moved.That's right, speaking of this Zhanfu and his personal relationship is very good, when he was designing Ping Qiuli, he was still very helpful.Besides, even if you put aside this matter, from the standpoint of a friend, if your friend is in trouble, you have to help anyway.Sun Dan, Sun Dan, although you have the body of a Ming Dynasty person, your soul is still a modern person.Have you now learned to only look at the powerful relationship like the ancients, and don't think about the friendship of friends?This is not you!

Sun Dan thought for a while, and then said in a cautious tone: "Zhanbu, we have a very close relationship, so I should help you. However, I am not familiar with the Queen Mother, and I don't know what kind of music she likes to listen to." , even if I write a new play, she may not like it, and it will hurt you."

Seeing that Sun Dan agreed to his request, Zhanbu was overjoyed and said, "What kind of person are you, Jingyuan? Your repertoire is very popular in the capital, ranging from an 80-year-old man to a ten-year-old child." , I like watching it. If you say that the Queen Mother doesn't like the play you wrote, how can it be possible?"

Sun Dan smiled wryly: "You can't say for sure about this."

Zhanbu: "Impossible, impossible, how could the Queen Mother not like it. Jingyuan, I believe in you, I believe you will definitely let Zhanbu get through this difficult time."

Sun Dan was very helpless, and said: "Boss Zhan, if you simply write a drama that everyone likes, it's not difficult, as long as you catch the majority of the audience, you don't have to worry about the few audiences, because you can't Satisfy everyone. But now your audience is only the Empress Dowager, so you have to prescribe the right medicine and think twice. I don’t know anything about the Empress Dowager. I don’t know what she likes or dislikes. I'm afraid there may not be any good results. Otherwise, I will wait to see the queen mother and talk to her, and I will think about how to write after I get down."

"Yes, yes, Jingyuan will definitely satisfy the Queen Mother and her elders." Zhan Bu heaved a long sigh of relief. In his opinion, everything will be fine with Sun Ding out.

But Sun Dan had a big headache. If he simply copied the two plays, the problem would not be a big problem, but he didn't know if the Queen Mother liked it or not.In any case, let's talk about it after meeting the Queen Mother first.

On the way to Tongzhou, Sun Dan had already had dinner, so without further delay, he went straight to the bedroom to meet the Queen Mother.

It was already dark at this moment, and the ancients went to bed early, and if they were late for a while, the Queen Mother might have to rest.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager has been feeling irritable for the past few days, and she has a little insomnia, and she didn't go to bed to rest. She was talking with Concubine Zhang Guifei in the quiet house.

Sun Dan's current status is the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Academy, the emperor's private secretary, and the deputy envoy to greet him again. The eunuch on duty didn't dare to delay, so he quickly passed it in. After a while, a court lady came out and led Sun Dan in. .

"My subject, Sun Dan, has seen the Queen Mother." Sun Dan saluted slightly.

The Empress Dowager knew that Sun Dan was born as the No. [-] Scholar and was also an old minister of the Emperor Long Qian, so she was quite polite to him: "Sun Qing is flat, and I give you a seat."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Sun Dan sat down on the stool and conveyed the emperor's miss for the Queen Mother, and said that the emperor hoped that the Queen Mother would enter the palace as soon as possible, and the mother and child would be reunited.

As soon as the words were finished, Concubine Zhang sneered: "Entering the city, what kind of city are you entering? Could it be that you just entered the palace so vaguely? The Queen Mother and her old man wanted to enter the palace through the Daming Gate, but now they are blocked by the courtiers. The etiquette of the imperial concubine. The queen mother came to the capital to be the empress dowager, not to meet the emperor." Then, she gave the queen mother a flattering look: "The queen mother, the concubine is right."

The queen mother nodded slightly: "That's right."

Concubine Zhang was even more proud, and instead scolded Sun Dan: "Sun Dan, you are also a sensible person, but you don't see through the joints. On the contrary, what are you doing with a lot of nonsense about going to the city? Now, the queen mother and her elderly are suddenly ill. It's time to rest. I don't know that it's the one who doesn't have long eyes, but actually brought a group of actors over, blowing and beating, making a lot of noise. My royal family, when did I start raising actors? Sun Dan, I heard that Zhanbu is your friend. You Answer the Queen Mother, is it your bad idea for this troupe to come to Tongzhou?" Her tone became a little aggressive, and she deliberately poured dirty water on Sun Dan's head.

The Queen Mother nodded again, and said angrily: "What kind of show is that? It's blowing and beating. It's so noisy."

When Sun Dan came in, he saw Concubine Zhang Gui, and knew something was going to happen.Although this woman is stupid, she can't stop her from staying by the Queen Mother's side all day and speaking ill of herself.If the queen mother really dislikes me, life in Tongzhou will be really difficult.

Sun Dan ignored Concubine Zhang, and asked the Queen Mother cautiously: "It is His Majesty's filial piety to let this theater troupe come over to sing. I am afraid that the Queen Mother will be bored in Tongzhou. In fact, the operas of the Zhanjia Troupe are quite good, and they are quite good in the capital." It is famous, and many people like to watch it. However, this person is different from others, and they like different plays. For example, I don’t like to listen to it very much.

The Empress Dowager agreed deeply, and nodded again and again: "Yes, this man can speak as soon as he speaks, but he has to sing. It takes a long time to sing a sentence, and people are anxious to wait."

Sun Dan just tried it casually, and found out the truth about the Queen Mother: So this woman is blind!It's really embarrassing for you to let her listen to the play.Just like a modern person, if you force him to sit in a chair for two hours and listen to "Borrowing the East Wind", it is not as satisfying as watching the movie "Red Cliff".It's not that movies are more exciting than dramas. Without it, the audience is different.

It seems that this queen mother is just a common person. I will search again, and I may not find her favorite plays, so I will also help Zhanbu, an old friend.
