Chapter 304 memory of the people
The south of the city because of the flow of people going north, so it has always been very lively, of course, relatively speaking, people are also more complex, the lair of the three religions and nine streams are almost all in this place. Of course, because of the clear politics, usually well water does not offend river water, living here will not be harassed for no reason. There are many merchants and stores, and many people come here to spend their leisure time. The Hongying Society, where Zhao Su and the others are going today, is located on the main street leading to the south city gate.
Nobles in the city also have a family with a theater troupe, to see the play does not need to go out, but that is for the inconvenience of going out of the old man service, like the younger generation, legs and feet, or are willing to go out, one is lively, the second is also fresh. So Marquis Qingyun House did not keep a theater troupe.
Yu booked a seat upstairs, just down the carriage, inside before the opening of the gongs and drums sounded, the doorway in twos and threes people talk about today’s play related to the Princess of the past years of valor, lamenting her untimely death. The original owner of a life of confusion, did not leave much memory to Zhao Su recollection, into the theater, see full of spectators, but also into the atmosphere.
Roughly look, there are a lot of seats with silk and satin official households, counting the schedule, the Marquis of Wei Yuan will soon arrive in the capital, sooner or later will also become the topic of the city. Sure enough, only on the stairs, Yu’s said: “I heard that the Weiyuan Hou has not yet married, the dynasty in the royal family, a Duan Wang has not married, the relatives, another Weiyuan Hou is still single, this back, maybe the Empress Dowager is not so fast to let him go.”
“No? There is also a Yanping County Lord.”
Zhao Ha followed the words, a line of three people so up to the second floor.
This place does not have a serious compartment, just each table with half a person high screen as a slight partition, even if you sit down, a stretch of the neck can still see the situation around the four sides. This is a lot less private, but the view is good, not blocking the front and back, really come to see the theater, this layout is better.
In this way, Zhao Su sat down and inevitably looked around, first saw a few familiar official family members, the line of sight just right she nodded and said hello, and then look down, surprisingly, the left front and saw a familiar figure, Yu Qingping’s father, Marquis Jingnan, is also in the seat, and he is a person.
Since Yu Qingping’s crime was exposed, Zhao Su has not seen much of the Marquis of Jingnan, not because the Marquis of Jingnan does not appear, even if he asked to be demoted, but also the important ministers of the dynasty, not to mention the Marquis of Jingnan’s son was appointed by the emperor to set up the coast of the navy, the Marquis of Jingnan’s prestige is not down.
Looks like nothing today, the Marquis of Jingnan a comfortable fit of brocade robes, bundled with a jade crown, a wisp of ink beard trimmed very neatly. In front of him on the table only three kinds of snacks, a pot of fragrant tea – I can not imagine a deep military general still have such leisure and elegant, leisure time a person can come to the theater such a place to sit.
He didn’t notice Zhao Su’s gaze, the gongs and drums underneath sounded, and he was seriously looking at the protagonist who came on the stage, today’s “Lord Zhaoyun Chang”.
Zhao Su also withdrew his gaze and looked down.
Quiet under the scene, the opera singer clear into the ear, at first out of the Princess dressed in cloth, hair is just casually 绾着, but the costume is beautiful, eyebrows flow radiant.
Rapunzel is three years younger than the first emperor, the first emperor to plan for the great cause of the half when she joined the business before the first emperor to comply with the will of God, surrounded by countless wise ministers and good generals to support, very smooth, when the attack on the capital city, said that the momentum is like a crackerjack is not an exaggeration. However, after the army entered the capital, the remnants of the former dynasty joined hands with the South Vietnam in the border disputes, so the world was not yet at peace when the late emperor settled the country.
It was at this time that the Princess asked for help to go south, and made an oath with her husband, the old Marquis of Weiyuan, to clear out the remnants before releasing their horses to the south.
The Princess and the Marquis of Wei Yuan met and fell in love in the army and became husband and wife. Legend has it that compared to Empress Dowager Lu, Empress Lu was domineering, beautiful and good at planning, while the Eldest Princess was delicate and sweet, with a sharp hand. At that time in the army, there were also many people pursuing the Rapunzel.
In this battle, the Princess lost her life on the battlefield. It can only make people lament a phrase that man’s plans are not as good as heaven’s plans.
“Look, look, look, Marquis Weiyuan is on the field!”
Zhao Ha’s soft cheer interrupted Zhao Su’s reverie.
On the stage, the young general dressed as a playwright also went on stage, and the Princess together against the enemy, this is the first time the two people met, the field was lively for a while.
Rapunzel looks beautiful, the military women and less, at that time the pursuit of her people are quite a lot. The old Marquis of Wei Yuan was a garrison general in the northwest, and later defected to the late emperor. I heard that he was also a handsome man.
Thinking of this she couldn’t help but look to the left front again, Marquis Jingnan had already looked out of his mind at this time, a pair of eyes staring straight at the stage, his thick eyebrows slightly knitted, his right hand, which had previously been lightly knocking on the tabletop along with the sound of the drums, had stopped at this time.
Princess was killed in that battle, at that time, the war elsewhere has been finalized, with the army with a lot of generals, including the Marquis of Jingnan and Liang Ying’s father, Guangping Bo, after she was killed in action, the group rallied to catch up with the enemy and killed them all in one go.
A war is said in a few words, the scene must have been more than that. At this moment, Marquis Jingnan did not know if he was remembering this past.
“Marquis.”
Zhao Su was about to retract his gaze when he suddenly saw the guard standing behind Marquis Jingnan walk up and call out in a low voice.
Marquis Jingnan slightly sidled his head, and the guard stepped forward and whispered.
When the guard straightened his waist, Marquis Jingnan’s eyes slightly converged, then stood up.
Zhao Su saw that the guard took out silver to settle the bill, and realized that they were actually leaving.
When Marquis Jingnan returned to the mansion, Mrs. Jingnan welcomed him.
“What did the people from the palace say?”
“Just said the emperor summoned marquis into the palace, nothing else said.” Mrs. Marquis Jingnan took over the outer robe he took off, and brought the official clothes for him to put on, “Since Sister Ping had that incident, the Emperor has been cold to us, and this time there was a sudden rumor, and I don’t know what will be the matter?”
She looked at Marquis Jingnan’s face and said.
“As a subject, there is always a place for the king to use. What’s all the fuss about?” Marquis Jingnan quickly put his robe back on, took the official hat on the side and put it on, and walked out of the room.
Just as he left the main courtyard, he bumped into his concubine An and his third daughter Yu Qingtong.
The mother and daughter curtsied to him.
He also stopped to look at them and then walked away.
The smile that Yu Qingtong had piled up on her face had not even taken shape before it collapsed.
When Marquis Jingnan disappeared, she beamed and turned back to say: ”Didn’t auntie say that as long as big sister is planted, father will see that we are good? Why do I feel that after big sister planted, father has grown even colder towards us?”
An tugged on her sleeve, signaling her to look back.
Yu Qingtong turned around, only to find that Marquis Lady Jingnan had also walked out. She hurriedly saluted, “Mother!”
Mrs. Marquis Jingnan frowned: “What are you doing here if you don’t go and do the women’s red?”
“Back to mother, today’s homework has all been done.”
“Then stay in your room and learn to be a lady of the house. Don’t hang around all day long, our family has already made a big scandal, don’t make another one.”
Yu Qingtong usually used to be in front of the main house and the first-born children to curry favor, this matter was unjustifiably face, face also can not hang.
Mrs. Marquis Jingnan also ignored her, and walked towards the room of the second young lady Yu Qingyi in that side room.
