The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 197 Goal and Mission Accomplished
The convulsed expression appeared on Hesheli's face again, how could she have forgotten that Concubine Liang and Guo Luoluo's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the number one model mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the capital, and their relationship is even better than mother and daughter.She is showing off Hong Guoguo, saying that her embroidery skills are shameful, so all the handkerchiefs made by Liangfei are used. It is all an excuse. Manchu women don’t need to learn embroidery skills at all. When married, they are masters. There is no need to know those things at all.

The old lady looked at Minzhi again, and felt that this girl changed her clothes as if she was a different person. She would tease people around the bush, and show off without a trace?Could it be that he just misread it?

At this moment, "Silang Visits His Mother" began to be staged on the stage. First, there was a scene between the princess and Yang Silang. The old lady Hesheli was also very knowledgeable when she was young. The story of "The General of the Yang Family" was thrown into the play in astonishment.

In the Kunqu opera version of "Silang Visits His Mother", the princess is more graceful, affectionate, and has a long and lingering singing voice, which made Minzhi's skin crawl all over.In fact, she didn't know, and thought that "Si Lang Visits His Mother" was just an excerpt from Peking Opera. In fact, "Si Lang Visited His Mother" had already existed in Kunqu Opera, but the singing and lyrics were different, and the plot was the same.

When she was rehearsing this play, she was influenced by the TV series, so she rearranged the affectionate version, which made "Shiro Visits Mother", which was originally rejected by female relatives, a new look, focusing on the first half of the princess. In all kinds of tenderness, of course, it also relatively emphasizes the "brilliant image" of Yang Silang abandoning the righteousness of the family for love.

As expected, the new version of "Si Lang Visits His Mother" saw the rivalry between the princess and Yang Silang. .

Minzhi looked at them speechlessly, the vision of the ancient female relatives is narrow, this kind of plot moved you so much.If I put those of Aunt Qiong Yao on the stage, will there be little girls who can't stand the stimulation and jump off the building?This kind of sensationalism is just a small test.

Seeing that the performance on the stage was coming to an end, Minzhi asked quietly: "Madam, I saw that this play was good and touching, what do you think?" The old lady's eyes were red: "Okay, this play is good, let me change it." Tomorrow, I will invite them to my residence to perform again. The princess really performed so well, I was so moved, this Siqing troupe really lived up to its reputation, even the queen mother praised them."

"The old lady agrees, then reward, come, reward!" Minzhi ordered, and the servant beside him threw a piece of red cloth wrapped in the things he had prepared earlier on the stage, and lightly hit the princess. on the actors.This is the main way of giving rewards in ancient theaters. Guests will throw gold, silver, copper plates and other property directly on the actors to show their love for him/her.

There are also some hooligans who will use this method to moles the actors on the stage. Usually, after the actors are hit, they will continue to maintain their original expressions and postures to continue acting. After a famous actor plays, the stage is full of gold and silver. And copper coins, in the end, the actors have nowhere to go.

What Minzhi asked people to throw away was a piece of silver wrapped in red cloth, and the money wrapped in red cloth was another way of tipping. It originated from the "twisting head" in Jiaofang in the Tang Dynasty, and it was specially used to reward low-level occupations. , such as kabuki, brothels and the like, wrap the property with cloth.Let the person who accepts the reward knelt down on his head to give thanks.

Minzhi said that she is a professional spectator.At this moment, the old lady came to her senses, touched it from her side, and ordered: "Come here." The old lady's personal maid came to her side, the old lady whispered a few words, and the maid dug from the purse at her waist for a long time, He quickly wrapped the excavated things in a veil, walked up a few steps, a parabola missed the heroine, and fell on the stage, spread out the handkerchief, and a big round pearl rolled out.

Minzhi sweated, and the old lady was stimulated by herself. Why didn't she give Tong Shulan such a big bead as a bounty instead?The two wives of the Tong family were embarrassed to hide the old lady's generosity when they saw how generous they were, and they gave away their money one after another, throwing gold and silver on the stage.When Tong Shulan saw the pearl rolling out, a trace of astonishment flashed across her face. Mama brought such a big pearl with her, but it was not for me, but for an actor. Is she confused?
In fact, the old lady is not confused. Just now, the matter of Minzhi borrowing the teapot made the old lady join the army. She originally wanted to give her granddaughter the best dowry and the most precious thing, but it turned out to be a simple idea. The granddaughter’s identity is just a concubine. The cost of food and clothing far exceeds that of the regular wife, what do you want to do?Want to be on top?With Di Fujin here, don't even think about being in the top position in this life. Others don't understand, Hesheli, you are so old, you don't understand, do you?
Why doesn't your granddaughter live a good life? It's because she's living a very good life. She wants to be better than Fujin in everything, but forgets the embarrassment of her identity. This is the sad reminder of the daughter of the Tong family. The Suo family has fallen up.

The old concubine of Hesheli's Prince An's Mansion is a living example. If she hadn't been recruited by her husband's family, she would have been implicated. What are you high-profile about? It's better to keep a low profile. Turn around and talk to your granddaughter, we should restrain ourselves It's time, there are good things to hide and tuck in, and things that are not enough for one's own status, it is better to be generous and give them to others, so as to show one's own heritage.

Sure enough, Minzhi was startled by the big pearl. This, this has caught up to the level of Dongzhukuli of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?Well, with this pearl, today's business can't be lost.

The following "Liu Yi Biography" and "Tang Minghuang Touring the Moon Palace" are relatively more ordinary.After watching the four scenes, Boss Zhou came out to "sweep the floor" with a smile, and the first thing he picked up was the eye-catching pearl.

After watching the play, an afternoon passed, Minzhi pretended to stay for dinner, and the old lady pretended to shirk. Everyone knew that this was a polite word on the scene, and Yinhu was coming back soon, so it was impossible to keep the female relatives for dinner.So, after a compromise, everyone went to Tong Shulan's room to continue drinking tea and chatting.

The decoration of Tong Shulan's boudoir is still the same as before. Minzhi became numb after seeing it a few times, but the old lady saw such a "luxury and exposed" decoration of her granddaughter, and remembered what her daughter-in-law said about the simplicity of Princess Lianjun's room. Wrinkled uncontrollably: "Shulan, Mama gave you this emerald tea set for you to give to the princess when serving tea, you child, you don't know the rules!"

"Ah?" Tong Shulan was shocked: "Mama...you..." Hesheli squinted her eyes: "Shut up, you girl, I have spoiled you all day, so you don't know the rules!" "Don't blame the princess Shulan was favored when she was a child, and now she is like this..." Minzhi held the jade teacup in her hand: "Give it to me? Hehe, don't blame Tong, the old lady. Fortunately, she forgot. Give it to me, and within two days, it will be ruined by those noisy people in my house. There is no child in our family who is not a monkey. Put it here in Tong's place, and you can enjoy it as an ornament. "

Tong Shulan was aggrieved, she shed tears, her grandmother who loves her the most actually said such a thing, she didn't help her at all, instead she made out of nothing that the jade teapot was originally given to Fujin Fujin, something that never happened what!

Seeing that Tong Shulan was crying, Minzhi immediately said: "Mr. Tong, why are you feeling uncomfortable? Why are you crying? Come and call the doctor!" Seeing her granddaughter like this, Hesheli felt even more uncomfortable, This child couldn't stand it after just saying a harsh word, and cried and cried, what a shame!Hey, I really can't stand it anymore.The noble daughter whom the family placed high hopes on, has now degenerated into this, really, I hate iron but can't make steel!

Putting down the cup and standing up: "It's not early, the old man still has some affairs at home, so Shulan asked the concubine to take care of her. The child is not weak at first, so he must be too happy today. He can't control his emotions for a while. Doctor or something, just let me know." No need. Shulan, it is important to serve the prince, pay respects to the concubine, listen to the concubine's instructions, and respect the concubine, are equally important, do you understand? Mama is gone, take good care of yourself."

"Granddaughter...granddaughter remember...granddaughter send Mama off." Tong Shulan was sobbing.Minzhi sighed secretly, and said: "Mr. Tong, you don't want to part with the old lady, why don't you give it away together." Hesheli waved her hand, and she didn't need to give it away. Hey...this child..." Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi was a little sad when she saw her daughter crying pitifully, but the mother-in-law couldn't refute her words, so she could only hold her daughter's hand: "Don't be sad, Er Niang will come to see you again. "As the birth mother, Zhang Jiashi has no affection for her daughter. As soon as the old lady stood up, she immediately stood behind her and was about to leave.

Minzhi sent Hesheli and others out of the gate and stretched: "Go, call Boss Zhou." Not long after, the leader of the Siqing class came over respectfully holding a small cloth bag: "The villain Greetings from Fujin, this is a reward from your masters just now." Minzhi glanced at the pile of gold and silver, and only said: "I will keep that bead, and you can share the rest with them. Thank you for your hard work today. gone."

Boss Zhou is about to kneel down: "The villain dare not, the Siqing class can have what it is today, it all depends on the cultivation of the princess, if the villain is greedy again, it is like a pig and a dog!" Minzhi frowned: "This is a crooked statement, In the boundary of the capital, you need money to sit on the ground, silver, etc. As long as the Siqing class is on for one day, we will not be short of money. Money, if you earn it, you will spend it. Only when you spend it can you prove that the money is yours. This is the famous saying of our Jiuye , That's all right, it's settled like this, you take the gold and silver and divide it, but I want to keep the beads, and it's not easy for you to sell them."

Boss Zhou took the package with gratitude and left. Minzhi took a handkerchief to pick up the pearls and saw that they were really good things. They were big and round, with fine luster and good transparency, definitely jewelry-level things.Send it to Dongzhuang another day to see what kind of jewelry is suitable for it, just to honor the concubine Liang.
