During this drama performance, many people were surprised when they received the invitation, especially the content mentioned in it.
Therefore, the entire theater was full of discussions.
As the hostess, Fang Keying naturally had to receive the female relatives. The younger sister was also brought along by Fang Keying. After all, she was a young lady from the county prince's house. She would often encounter such occasions in the future. Originally, Zhang San was the only one in the family, so naturally she could not
Taking my little sister to attend banquets for women's families in other houses.
Now that Fang Keying is here, Zhang San no longer worries about this matter, and is also happy that the younger sister can make more friends.
At the very least, learn how to communicate in upper class society.
"Mrs. Zhang, tell us what the story of the West Chamber is about?" A woman, accompanied by two maids, was surrounding Fang Keying, trying to find out the plot of the story in advance.
"Mrs. Wu, wait a moment, the performance will start soon. You will know by then. This drama cannot be spoiled in advance, otherwise it will be boring." Fang Keying replied with a smile.
The little girl was like a maid, standing next to Fang Keying without saying a word. She felt that it was very tiring to deal with these official ladies and ladies, and she was far less comfortable than getting along with Xiaoyu and the others at home.
Suxin and Xiaoyu were working as makeup artists backstage at this time, helping Xie Huaer and Xiaolan do their makeup.
"Sister Song, what kind of performance do you think this play is? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
"This is the first time this sister has heard of it. It is said that it was invented by Zhang Xianhou. I heard that Zhang Xianhou was a great talent. I guess this play should not be simple."
"You said no one told us about this. I wonder if this day's time will be wasted here!"
Just when the performance was about to start, Li Shimin and Li Tai arrived together.
Fortunately, Zhang San had someone pay attention at the door in advance. When he heard the report from a servant, Zhang San quickly ran out to greet him.
"I've met Emperor...Erlangjun. The show is about to start. I'll take you in and sit down."
Zhang San originally wanted to call the emperor, but when he saw Li Shimin wearing ordinary clothes, according to the usual practice, Li Shimin was Li Erlangjun at this time.
Li Tai raised his eyebrows at Zhang San and followed him in.
Li Shimin walked directly from the stairs on one side to the private room on the second floor. Seeing the magnificent decoration of the private room, Li Shimin immediately looked at Zhang San.
Fortunately, Zhang San had already prepared his words, "Is this private room of your Majesty okay? It's all carefully designed by Wei Chen, and all natural and pollution-free materials are used."
"You are extravagant. It seems that the rumor that Marquis Zhang can make money by sitting on the ground is true!" Li Shimin asked with a hint of teasing and a hint of elegance.
"It would be great if the humble minister could really make money by sitting on the ground. The emperor has a saying that seeing is not necessarily believing. This private room looks magnificent, but in fact it didn't cost much." Zhang San replied quickly.
"It doesn't cost a lot of money, but this pair of corals and glazed corals costs tens of thousands of yuan, right?" Li Shimin looked at the pair of glazed corals placed on the table and asked angrily.
You must know that there are not many collections of this thing in the imperial palace, but this three actually has a pair of two-foot-high coral-shaped colored glazes placed here.
"Is this valuable? We burned it ourselves. It didn't take much effort. This one was burned out, but it looked like coral to me, so I kept it and put it here as a decoration." Zhang San said in confusion.
.
"Do you have a fever?" Li Tai was surprised when he heard this, picked up one of the corals and asked.
"Yes, our Zhangjia Village has been undergoing great development, so we built a brick kiln by ourselves. These things were baked by me in my spare time. If the emperor and King Wei like it, I will have them bake more. If you like it,
What style?"
As expected, Zhang San didn't say anything surprising. After saying this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Did you really burn this glass? How did you burn it?"
"This is a long story. Your Majesty, why don't we watch the performance first, and then I will come and talk to you in detail after the performance?" Zhang San suggested.
"Okay, let's wait until the show is over. I'll go to your place to see how this glass is made." Li Shimin didn't hold on to Zhang San. After saying that, he sat on the chair and waited for the show to start.
As the gong sounded, a person stood up on the stage in front and began to announce the curtain.
"Your Majesty, please watch first. The ministers have gone out first, so as not to disturb you while enjoying the drama." After Zhang San finished speaking, he exited the private room after waiting for Li Shimin's permission.
"Phew! I finally took the bait, and now Zhangjiacun is going to make a fortune." Zhang San was immediately happy after coming out.
The pair of glazed corals was specially arranged by Zhang San in order to attract Li Shimin's attention, and Zhang San wanted to make a fortune together with Li Shimin.
Now that Shandong was hit by a disaster, Li Shimin was worried about money and food, so he probably wouldn't reject his plan.
"Yingying..."
"Zhang Lang..."
With the help of the matchmaker, Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng met in private. Their eyes met, and there seemed to be a thousand words to say in their eyes.
Needless to say, Xie Hua'er on the stage is completely different from the past. At this time, Xie Hua'er is as tender as water, knowledgeable and reasonable, with the joy of meeting her lover and the shyness of her daughter's family.
The just-right expression on her face made the role of Cui Yingying come alive.
Relatively speaking, Xiaolan is a little worse, but this is also because it is her first time on stage, and she will definitely get better later.
"Let me ask you, did the young lady have a private meeting with Mr. Zhang?" Cui's mother, played by Aunt Song, asked the matchmaker with a cane and a fierce look on her face.
"Old madam, haven't you already agreed to the engagement between young lady and Zhang Sheng?" the matchmaker replied.
"Hmph! How can Zhang Sheng, a white lady, be worthy of the daughter of our Cui Mansion? Tell Yingying that if she dares to meet Zhang Sheng in private, I will betroth her to Zheng Heng..."
When the audience saw Cui's mother trying to separate the two, the audience immediately felt unfair for the two and cursed Cui's mother loudly in the audience.
Aunt Song had never seen such a scene before. She was so nervous that she made several wrong lines in succession.
Fortunately, the audience had not read the story, and it was the time when the heroes were furious, so no one noticed.
After finally holding on until she finished reading her lines and retreated backstage, Aunt Song felt as if she had walked through an execution ground, with cold sweat breaking out on her back.
The ending of the story is perfect. Zhang Sheng passed the imperial examination and successfully entered the official career. Although Cui's mother still did not want the two to be together, her daughter would not marry Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng also had a soft spot for Cui Yingying and would not change her infatuation.
, in the end this infatuation moved Cui's mother, and she agreed to let the two of them be together.
As the story came to an end, the audience did not leave for a long time. Some young girls were still sitting there wiping their tears, while also imagining that they could find a suitable husband.
Li Shimin is not very interested in this kind of drama, but he has to admit that Zhang San's performance called drama is still unique.
