Chapter 58 Going to the Liyuan to Listen to the Opera
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, Zhao Yuan tried hard to control the calmness on his face and said, "Eat."
"Yes, yes," Jiang Fu nodded, "Mr., you are so kind."
Zhao Yuan "..."
As soon as Jiang Fu died, Ning Guogong instantly returned to the day when the Princess Mansion was framed.
At night, Ning Guogong pinned the man down and commanded in a hoarse voice, "Shout!"
Jiang Fu "..."
【What to shout? 】
【You are a pervert, right? 】
[Do you think I shouted too softly? 】
[But this is not something I can control, right? 】
[This guy’s soul is almost gone. I want to shout at the top of my lungs, but I don’t have that much strength? 】
Fragmented humming sounds kept spilling out of Jiang Fu's mouth. She just wanted to ask Zhao Yuan what he wanted her to shout, but she couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Zhao Yuan could hear her thoughts and knew her predicament, but he only tried harder and harder to solve Jiang Fu's doubts.
Jiang Fu "..."
[The old man has great physical strength.] This was the sigh she made just before she fell asleep.
Zhao Yuan: Humph, don’t you even have this bit of strength?
Although Ning Guogong was very arrogant in his heart, he felt very sorry for his wife in action.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, he first tidied Jiang Fu's messy hair, and then gave Jiang Fu something to cover her belly to prevent her from getting cold at night.
Then he stared at the sleeping Jiang Fu for a long time, as if appreciating some art, before he went to sleep contentedly.
Not surprisingly, when Jiang Fu got up the next day, Zhao Yuan was not in bed.
After feeling dizzy, with Xiao Yuan's help, Jiang Fu got up, washed, and ate. After eating many, many meals, Jiang Fu felt that her energy had returned.
After her energy returned, Jiang Fu couldn't help but repeat her old talk, "Yuan, let's go out and grab some tonics today!"
Madoka looked at her frail young lady, "Madam, how about..."
Jiang Fu knew that she meant to ask her to find the old lady again.
Jiang Fu waved her hand, "Last time I met the old lady, she arranged a lot of account books for me."
"She said before that in a few days she would ask me to meet the bosses and shopkeepers, saying that the future properties of the Duke's Mansion would be handed over to me..."
Jiang Fu shook her head, "When I go to find her now, I'm indirectly reminding her!"
"I'm not going!"
I am suffering now, but I can make up for it by taking some supplements.
When the work arranged by the old lady comes, nothing can erase the grievances of the workers.
Instead of looking for the old lady, Jiang Fu remembered the advice Zhao Yuan gave her yesterday: "The Duke said that if we have nothing to do during the day, we can go to the teahouse to listen to books, or we can go to the opera house to listen to the opera."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes also lit up.
Jiang Fu asked Xiao Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, do you want to go to the opera house first or listen to the book in the teahouse first?"
"Liyuan, Liyuan," Madoka was very excited.
When it comes to listening to books in a teahouse, servants like them can sometimes go in and listen to a few words when they are helping their masters with errands, but the opera in the opera garden... I have never been to that.
With the Jiang family's family status, they don't have the confidence to invite people to sing in the house.
When there are banquets in other houses, they sometimes invite opera troupes from the Liyuan to come over and perform.
But these mansions generally do not invite the female family members of the Jiang family.
As for going to the opera theater by herself, one is that Jiang Fu has not been out of the government in those years, so it is inappropriate for the sake of reputation, and the other is that Jiang Fu's family background is really limited.
It cannot support the female relatives of the Jiang family to reward and spend wantonly.
Now that Jiang Fu can go and take Xiao Yuan with her, Xiao Yuan naturally chooses Liyuan.
Jiang Fu is a modern person. She has been in the Chinese trend for a while, and she is indeed somewhat interested in opera.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan also chose the Liyuan, the master and servant immediately agreed, "Then let's go to the Liyuan."
"Let's go and have someone prepare the carriage."
The carriage was quickly prepared. Jiang Fu was the wife herself, and the housekeeper, Mrs. Quan Chen, was also placed in her hands, so she did not need to go to anyone to report. The carriage was ready, and she took Xiaoyuan and Xiaodie with her. Just left.
On weekdays in the house, Jiang Fu asked Xiao Yuan to take care of her a lot, but when she went out, she decided to take two people with her.
Although she is at the feet of the emperor, and she is an official wife, normally there will be no accidents.
But in case of an accident, one more person brings more hope, so she not only brought Madoka, but also Xiaodie with her.
The master and servant went to the pear garden together.
Liyuan in ancient times was really big. Jiang Fu didn't want someone to lead her, let alone watch a play. She was afraid that she would become a show for others to watch.
There are really many people in the Liyuan. As soon as you step in, you can hear the cheers from the whole hall and the singing and singing of the Liyuan children.
Jiang Fu had a badge from the Duke's Mansion, and as soon as she entered, she was invited to a private room on the second floor.
Sitting in the private room on the second floor facing the window, the singing, reciting and playing on the stage downstairs can be clearly seen and the sounds can be heard clearly, but the people downstairs cannot glimpse what is going on upstairs.
When Jiang Fu and the others arrived, Mukezhai was being played on the stage, and the sword and spear dance of Mu Guiying's Daomadan was very popular on the stage.
Moreover, the other party's acting style is also very good. He really just sings, chants and fights, which is brilliant.
This Dao Ma Dan is born well, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes.
Jiang Fu liked it very much and kept cheering from the window on the second floor.
The actor who played Mu Guiying accidentally glanced at her window and quickly moved away. Jiang Fu didn't notice it. When she saw the other person dancing quickly, she clapped her hands again.
Then she asked Madoka, "Madoka, should we give you some rewards?"
Madoka was also very excited and clapped her hands. After hearing this, she said, "Okay?"
She wasn't sure either.
"How much is appropriate?" Jiang Fu has never done this before. She was a worker before. If she had money, she would rather keep it in her own belly. If she couldn't afford to buy two big gold bracelets, she could also donate to poor children, but she wouldn't. Reward people for live streaming.
But Jiang Fu knew that the situation in ancient pear gardens was different.
At this time, opera singers were still regarded as low-class people. The people taken in here were usually homeless orphans, poor people. They relied on this to feed themselves, and they relied on everyone's rewards to support an entire opera troupe!
Jiang Fu thought she could reward him.
I just don’t know how much reward is appropriate.
According to the standards of those domineering princes falling in love with me, there is no one who can't get rid of a thousand eight hundred taels.
But when Jiang Fu traveled here, Jiang Fu knew that, hell, the original owner only had a few taels of silver a month.
If you want more, it depends on whether your own mother can supplement it.
What's one thousand eight hundred taels? That's using silver instead of silver!
"Give me a tael of silver? Will others say we are stingy?" After all, she came out to see it as a member of the Duke's Mansion, and she also represented the Duke's Mansion.
Madoka doesn't know either.
Xiaodie didn't even know that she was just a little maid, not even the master's maid, let alone understand this.
Maybe Jiang Fu decided to wait until Zhao Yuan came back in the evening to ask him for advice.
So Jiang Fu kept shouting "yes", but she didn't give any reward.
After the performance of Mukezhai ended, there was inevitably discussion about the matter backstage. The performer of Mukezhai asked the master of the opera house, "Whose wife is sitting at the window on the second floor? It's very unfamiliar!"
"Oh, that's from the Duke's Mansion."
"Which Duke's Mansion?"
"That's the lady Ning Guogong just married."
"Is it that Duke Ning who won't marry at thirty?"
