Chapter 476 477 [Playing every time] (addition for book friend, Mo Xueyiyun)
In Deyue Tower, "Legend of the White Snake" is being staged.
Qianlong and Heshen sat under the stage, looking at the white snake and green snake on the stage, they couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
He rushed to Yunzhou two days ago, looking for the white lady according to the nurse's last words.
In his mind, the White Lady might be Bai Suzhen. So today, when I was watching a show, and seeing "Legend of the White Snake" being performed in Deyuelou, I couldn't help but want to come in and take a look.
Seeing the white lady on the stage, with a beautiful and dignified appearance, and a beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel moved.
After the play was over, he suggested to He Shen, "I want to go backstage and meet this white lady."
He Shen naturally obeyed the order and brought Qianlong to the backstage.
"Hey, both of you, watching the show is at the front stage, and this is the backstage, so it's inconvenient, please go out." The stage owner saw two strangers coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
When He Shen saw it, he quickly took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the boss's hand, "Our master is curious about your backstage, and wants to come in and take a look, it's convenient."
The troupe owner saw such a big ingot, and immediately nodded with a smile, "Please look, please look~"
…
Qianlong immediately came to Du Xiaoyue and asked excitedly, "Are you the White Lady?"
"My name is Du Xiaoyue." Du Xiaoyue replied with a smile while dressing up.
Qianlong nodded.
The white lady on the stage is already beautiful. Even after taking off her makeup, Du Xiaoyue also has bright eyes and white teeth, and her beauty is delicious, which is heart-stirring.
Just about to chat a few more words, at this moment, a group of people suddenly poured into the background.
"Du Xiaoyue! Where's Du Xiaoyue?!" The master of Wu Zhifu led the soldiers and shouted loudly, "Our master wants to entertain a distinguished guest from the capital, and invite her to sing at the hall by name. Come with me."
The troupe owner was terrified when he heard this, and looked at Du Xiaoyue pitifully, "Miss Xiaoyue, look at this..."
Singing in that era was not necessarily a good thing for artists, especially for female artists. Because the people who invite the hall are either rich or expensive, powerful and powerful, not a small theater troupe can offend them.
In case they look at the young and beautiful artist and want to play tricks, it is impossible for the artist to resist.
Du Xiaoyue heard that it was a banquet for distinguished guests from the capital, but she stood up gracefully, "Don't worry, class leader, I'll go!"
"Miss Yue, thank you, thank you, thank you..." The class leader thanked without opening a mouthful, and then immediately greeted with a loud voice, "Everyone, hurry up and play your instruments, get your clothes, and follow Miss Xiaoyue..."
Qianlong saw that Du Xiaoyue was about to leave before he finished speaking, so he quickly picked up an erhu to follow.
"Master, this is..." He Shen asked in surprise.
"Playing the piano, is there no piano company for singing?" Qianlong said straightforwardly, and He Shen was taken aback by what he said.
"Hey, are you going too?" Seeing that Qianlong was also following, Du Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing, "Who are you?"
"I am Xu Xian." Qianlong laughed.
Du Xiaoyue smiled when she heard this.
…
Xiang Nan came to the government office in a sedan chair.
Although Wu Zui was puzzled that he couldn't speak just now, but now he showed up again, he was sensible and didn't ask.
Anyway, Xiang Nan appreciates the face, as long as he comes.
After Xiang Nan was seated, the show officially started, singing "The Legend of the White Snake".
Xiang Nan saw the white lady, and it was officially played by Du Xiaoyue. Sure enough, she is beautiful in appearance and extraordinary in skill.
When Du Xiaoyue was backstage, she also easily spotted Xiang Nan sitting in the middle of the stage like a star-studded moon.
In order to let Xiang Nan recognize her, she covered her head with a square scarf before going on stage, like a man, to remind him.
"Hey, why did the White Snake change his costume?", "Is the White Snake's costume a bit weird today?", "Hey, is it a play?"
The guests sitting under the stage saw this and talked a lot.
Xiang Nan knew in his heart that this was Du Xiaoyue sending a secret signal to himself.
Immediately, he smiled and said to Wu Zui, "Prefect Wu, this actor is the famous Du Xiaoyue from Yunzhou Prefecture?"
"That's right, Master Ji. She must be the one who sings "Legend of the White Snake"." Wu Zui nodded with a smile, "However, I don't know what happened today, but it's so bad."
Xiang Nan smiled, "Xu has been singing for a whole day. Now, don't let her sing, please come down and sit with me."
"Hey, okay." Wu Zui immediately agreed.
The purpose of his banquet is to make Xiang Nan happy. As long as he is happy, let alone ask Du Xiaoyue to come down and sit with him. Even if it's just to stay with him for one night, he doesn't believe that a little actor would dare to turn the world upside down.
"Du Xiaoyue, stop singing, come down and accompany Master Ji." Wu Zui immediately ordered.
…
When Du Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately went backstage to remove her makeup.
Backstage, Qianlong was very dissatisfied when he saw this, "What a Ji Xiaolan, who is dignified at the top, unexpectedly, he showed his true colors as a scholar when he came to the bottom."
"Your Majesty, you don't know this. Ji Xiaolan is an official sent by the imperial court, and the magistrate should treat her well. This is the custom." He Shen quickly explained.
A moment later, Du Xiaoyue finished removing her make-up, changed her clothes, and came to the banquet in a neat dress, "Du Xiaoyue, serve Mr. Ji well, and I will entrust you with glory and wealth!"
"Yes." Du Xiaoyue nodded, "Master Ji, you have worked **** grading papers. Xiaoyue respects you~"
"Hey, it's not hard work, but one of the papers is too deep, so I can't understand it for a while." Xiang Nan laughed.
As soon as Du Xiaoyue heard it, she knew that Xiang Nan had noticed her paper, and she was overjoyed.
"Master Ji, as long as you have the heart, you can understand." She immediately replied, "A heart that loves the people."
"Okay, well said, please sit down!" Xiang Nan smiled, and then leaned in front of her, "Are you Mochou or Du Xiaoyue? You took the risk of beheading to participate in Enke and write a statement in blood." , there must be a lot of grievances. Tell me carefully, what is going on?"
"Master Ji, my name is Du Xiaoyue, and Mochou is my sister." Du Xiaoyue explained, "I don't know exactly what's going on. You need to go to the prison to see Sister A, and she will tell you. "
"I asked the prefect of Wu just now, and he said that Mo Chou was a traitor against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
I am a student of political affairs, and even though I am a scholar, I cannot enter the prison at all. Xiang Nan shook his head and said.
"Master Ji, sister was wronged, you must save her." Du Xiaoyue begged immediately after hearing this.
"In this way, if you want to enter the prison, you must have the magistrate's token." Xiang Nan reminded her, "It is now hanging on Wu Zhifu's waist..."
"That's easy." Du Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, and immediately saw the token hanging on Wu Zui's waist, and immediately had an idea.
…
Wu Zui saw that Xiang Nan and Du Xiaoyue sat together and whispered to each other as soon as they met, they were extremely intimate, and immediately burst into joy.
Colleagues also laughed and joked, "Master Zhifu asked Du Xiaoyue to accompany Mr. Ji today. It is really the right person. You see how well they hit it off."
Wu Zui smiled even more happily when he heard this.
