Chapter 117 Zhenxia meets Xiaoxiang
Chapter 117 Zhenxia meets Xiaoxiang
In the private room on the second floor, Daiyu and Jiaorou sat opposite each other, and their eyes could just see the performance on the stage directly.
Jiao Rou gently turned sideways, leaned close to Daiyu's ear, and whispered softly, "Yu'er, look, that young man is so handsome!"
Daiyu raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled gently, then elegantly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them into her mouth.
Jiao Rou carefully brewed a pot of fragrant chrysanthemum tea. The two of them sipped the tea leisurely while slowly savoring the exquisite pastries.
They were content to enjoy the noise coming from downstairs.
This feeling of ease and comfort is completely different from that of a royal mansion.
At this moment, two girls with outstanding looks suddenly walked onto the stage.
Their appearance was so stunning that everyone quieted down and then applauded loudly to cheer for them.
The scene was like a fairy descending to earth.
The dress, the singing voice, the stage posture, it was as if Xu Hezi were alive.
Daiyu looked at them with smiles as beautiful as flowers and singing in clear and pleasant voices, just like the skylarks singing in the valley, which made people intoxicated.
All I heard was two girls on the stage wearing identical costumes and performing the same movements.
They knelt on the stage, facing the audience, and sang softly, "I was originally the daughter of a prime minister, and was betrothed to Zhang Zhen when we were young.
Because both his parents have passed away, my father left him at Bi Bo Tan to study literature."
"Good, great singing." Daiyu watched as everyone stood up and cheered, with voices of praise and praise continuing.
Jiaorou also clapped her hands in admiration and sent her maid downstairs to deliver a few taels of silver.
She smiled and said to Daiyu, "This is Jiangnan opera, the singing is beautiful. I know where you are from, so just think of it as coming home!"
Daiyu looked at her. She didn't seem very happy listening to the opera.
She was wondering if everything was going well for the prince at the border. She didn't know if the prince had received the letter and clothes that the messenger had sent, as that person had not returned yet.
I don’t know how Lin Zhong is doing with the renovation of the old house, and I don’t know whether the banknotes left for him are enough.
But she felt sorry for Jiaorou's painstaking efforts in bringing her out to see the show, so she could only concentrate on accompanying Jiaorou to watch the show.
"I hope you can use a clear mirror to distinguish the true from the false.
Oh, my lord..."
The person on the stage changed his singing style, and his voice became melodious, lingering and sad, flowing out like a gurgling stream.
It was as clear and sweet as the sound of a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, as if telling the whole incident in a plaintive and tearful manner.
Their singing was full of true feelings, and every word was filled with sorrow and plea, which moved the audience.
At this moment, time seemed to stop, and the whole world revolved around the stage and the singer.
The opera was over, but Jiaorou was still immersed in it. She kept telling Daiyu about the opera and even sang it quietly to her.
"Xiaowan, what time is it now?" Daiyu asked softly.
Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Mrs. Yu, it's the afternoon now."
When Jiaorou heard that it was getting late, she was afraid that the eldest lady would blame her, so she quickly got up and took Daiyu back home.
The two of them were sitting in the carriage, and it was the busiest time of the day on the street.
The carriage was moving slowly, but suddenly stopped and no longer moved forward.
Jiaorou was confused, so she decided to get out of the car to check the situation.
The groom explained, "Concubine, this road is severely congested right now. We can only go when the crowds are less.
There is a small path, but it is very bumpy. I wonder if Concubine Concubine is willing to take it?"
Jiao Rou had no choice but to say to the coachman, "You two take the small road. Lady Yu and I will get off the carriage and walk for a while.
Please wait for us to get on the bus after the big intersection ahead. The road there is wider and shouldn't be as congested as it is now."
The coachman nodded in agreement, then drove away with the maids.
Daiyu and Jiaorou walked gently on the street. This was the second time they went out of the house together since they went to Rongning Street.
On the bustling streets, crowds of people are surging, and the cries of various vendors are heard one after another, which is endless and overwhelming.
Just then, Jiaorou accidentally bumped into a girl.
At this time, Daiyu was looking at the cakes on the stall, which were steamed chestnut flour cakes with osmanthus sugar.
She suddenly remembered that she didn't know who liked to eat this chestnut cake.
Just as she was lost in thought, she heard a gentle apology and hurriedly looked back.
I saw Jiao Rou asking the girl with concern: "Girl, are you really okay?"
The girl smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything.
Daiyu quickly put down the chestnut cake in her hand and walked over to check the situation.
Seeing Daiyu coming over, Jiaorou smiled and explained: "It should be nothing serious. I just accidentally bumped into this girl."
Daiyu was about to say something when the girl suddenly turned around.
Daiyu was stunned and the silk scarf and handkerchief she had just bought fell to the ground.
At this moment, two girls' anxious voices came from a distance: "Miss Yun, Miss Yun, where are you?"
Daiyu stood there in a daze, tears streaming down her face.
I saw two girls coming over in a hurry.
They grabbed the girl and asked her with concern if she was hurt anywhere.
Daiyu seemed unable to believe what she saw. She pulled her sleeve tenderly and puzzledly, shaking her head continuously, and asked loudly: "Yu'er, Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Sister, don't scare me!"
At this time, the girl opposite completely ignored the concern of the other two girls and came to Daiyu, who was in tears.
She said intermittently: "Du Gongbu likes melancholy, while Wei Suzhou likes elegance.
Wen Bacha’s enchanting beauty, Li Yishan’s secluded and secluded nature…”
Daiyu burst into tears instantly.
The girl opposite had a slightly bulging belly and a slightly fat body. She was pregnant, so she slowly came to Daiyu and gently wiped Daiyu's tears.
Jiaorou didn't know their relationship and could only look at them in surprise.
The girl continued, "You are Concubine Xiaoxiang, and I am an old friend of Zhenxia!"
Daiyu cried, "I'm afraid the flowers will fall asleep in the dead of night, and turn into stone cold in the deep night!"
The girl started crying.
The two girls just now were also standing there in a daze, with the local specialties in their hands falling to the ground.
"Miss, it's Miss..." They ignored everything and strode towards Daiyu.
Jiaorou was stunned by all this, she stared at it all blankly.
"Sister Lin..." The girl cried and threw herself into Daiyu's arms.
"Miss, how are you? We didn't expect to see you again!" The two girls also came to Daiyu.
Daiyu just shed tears, as if the proud little princess who was aloof, self-admiring and looked down on the common people had returned.
"Xiangyun, Zijuan, Xueyan, I didn't expect to see you again." Daiyu said while crying.
Zijuan cried and said, "Miss, we have been looking for you so hard!"
Xueyan couldn't believe it, pulling at Daiyu's clothes, touching here and looking there, and then began to cry.
"Sister Lin, why did you come just now?" Xiangyun held Daiyu's hand tightly, as if Daiyu would disappear if she let go.
Daiyu wiped their tears and asked softly, "Why are you here? Let's find a place to talk!"
