Chapter 303 Someone wants to take refuge(1/2)
April was unconscious.
Seeing that the weather was a little hot, the capital had long forgotten the blizzard of last year and returned to its former liveliness.
The thing that attracted the most attention from March was that Boss Xiao Suqinsu, one of the Nine Immortals of Opera, announced the news that he was about to retire.
The love between Boss Su and the little prince of Prince Yu’s mansion cannot be hidden from anyone. The gossip party has already dug a lot and has made up a lot of jokes by himself.
As early as last year, they claimed that Xiao Suqin would definitely marry into Prince Yu's Mansion.
Now that Xiao Suqin just said she was going to retire, news came out of the place that she was about to formally engage in Prince Yu Liu Mingqi.
This engagement is not a wife, but a concubine.
But it is unknown how many women in the capital who can be the concubine of Prince Yu.
The Prince Yu Mansion is now definitely the richest man in the capital, and there is no doubt that this is.
Moreover, they also have a respected royal status, which has created a superior style.
Then Liu Mingqi himself is a contemporary saint. I don’t know how many students can benefit from the article "Encouraging Learning". How many children need to recite this article carefully before they can study in formal school.
He is only seventeen years old and is not handsome, but he is definitely a beautiful person.
With so many advantages, why don’t he be the best husband for many women?
Now his first concubine was Xiao Suqin's first step, and many people sighed for it.
As a leading figure, Xiao Suqin's retreat is not a simple retreat.
People call this a "farewell performance".
She declared that she would star in twenty plays, including all her classic works since her debut, and the last one must be based on "Battle of Liang".
Xiao Suqin listed the list of actors for the twenty plays early.
All the other eight operas except her will be involved.
Even in the Longyuan Garden, far away in the south of the Yangtze River, Feng Mingxin and Tong Xiaoxiang would come to the capital to participate in the performance and jointly plan for a grand event.
Yes.
Opera lovers make this a "grand chapter in the prosperous era".
They all think that "there may never be such a brilliant scene of stars again", "It is rare to see it once in life", "must see it"...
But there were only twenty shows in total, and only one show was performed in each play. It is conceivable how popular the tickets are.
Although it was performed the next day, it is said that the Empress Dowager came every time in the palace curtain.
Fortunately, this time I was looking for the largest theater in Beijing, with more than 800 seats, so many people were lucky enough to watch a show.
When the last "Brother Lovers" ended, Xiao Suqin stood on the stage with tears in her eyes and bowed to the drama fans and said goodbye. Even after many days, it was a topic that people talked about with relish.
...
"Smack it..."
When Xiao Suqin returned to the backstage, all the troupe staff, including the masters of the Nine Immortals who came to support her during this period, enthusiastically applauded her.
The applause resounded in the wide shed, making Xiao Suqin, who had just shed tears, couldn't help but want to cry again.
"Okay, I've spent all my makeup, so don't let me spend it for the second time!" Xiao Suqin said this, but she bowed to everyone. "Suqin is here for everyone's usual support. I hope that the members of the opera troupe can perform good repertoire in the future, and my friends can continue to be famous and gain both fame and fortune!"
Everyone else laughed out loud.
Needless to say, the people in Xiao Suqin's opera troupe were, they thought they were going home to retire, but they didn't expect that Boss Su would allow them to continue performing and could follow Boss Su and move directly into the royal mansion next to the Embroidered Yiwei Yamen.
In this way, the status and status will be different.
Not only are there people covering them, but they can also perform familiar songs and continue to make money.
After all, these actors and logistics personnel have a strong sense of crisis.
Even those who say they have already made a good territorial view and are preparing to go home after marrying into a wealthy family, they feel that they can earn two more years of money.
After all, if most people go home, they will face a situation of losing their money.
Although there are local owners who buy land, have they been landlords before? Have they ever planted a dealer?
It’s better to earn more money and provide more protection.
Many people even have other ideas in their minds.
Boss Su is equivalent to my benefactor, and we are the relationship between the employer and the servant.
She has entered the palace to be the hostess, so why can't we continue to follow her and serve her?
After all, I am my own person, so I always use it more easily, right?
The Nine Immortals friends next to them were also unable to stop envy.
They are already Dugu Qiubai in the field of opera and are loved and sought after by too many people.
But an actor is an actor and it is impossible to have a high status.
In other words, the writing style of the Dakang Dynasty was very popular, and those who were officials did not drink and shouted, but they had to be careful about socializing in whatever they wanted to sing and do whatever they wanted to do and try not to offend others.
The men are okay to say something.
After they retire, they can still do some small business and become real landlords and rich people, and their lives will be easy.
Women are different.
They either choose not to get married for the rest of their lives, or they can only choose to marry ordinary literary talent or businessmen.
Usually, the person who gets married cannot have a high status, otherwise it will be easy to look down on them.
So compared with their status and achievements in opera, their marriage is very low-quality.
This has led to the fact that many operas have finally become monks throughout history and simply live their lives alone by using green gauze and ancient lanterns.
It is rare for Xiao Suqin to marry the little prince directly.
And the little prince is also a saint, with good moral character and strong ability. Who doesn’t want to marry such a man?
"Sister Su, we will call you the princess in the future. Don't forget us, take good care of us!" said Kuiyuanyuan directly.
Longan Garden is the youngest among the Nine Immortals. She is beautiful and sweet-mouthed. She is very famous in Jiangnan. I don’t know how many people like her.
This time Xiao Suqin invited her in advance. Without saying a word, she turned off the work in her hands and ran away.
This is beautiful to do things!
Xiao Suqin smiled when she heard this, "I can't call myself a princess, at most she is a wife. But we are all from miserable people. Since we have a day of development, I will not forget you. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. Wherever I can reach my ability, I will definitely help you."
Everyone was very happy to hear her answer so simply.
Although the royal family has no power, Prince Yu is different. He is a saint, which official does not sell his face?
Not to mention that Prince Yu has a particularly strong influence on the emperor, which is also well-known.
Although Xiao Suqin is gentle, her personality is generous and has something to do.
Otherwise she wouldn't have made a comeback.
So this is very straightforward and without any hesitation.
Of course, this is also related to her recent mentality changes.
After confirming his return for the rest of his life, Xiao Suqin felt completely at ease.
As an opera artist, she naturally knows the suffering of these people.
If you can, you can help, and maybe you can accumulate virtue for your future children.
...
Before we knew it, it was already late, so everyone went back to rest first. Xiao Suqin would have to invite them once tomorrow. That was the time for everyone to speak freely and have a laugh and party.
But when everyone walked away, Ruan Xiaoqiu turned back.
Xiao Suqin was taking off her makeup with the help of her maid. Seeing this, she was stunned and said, "Miss Xiaoqiu, do you have something to do?"
"Well, I have something to talk to you." Ruan Xiaoqiu smiled and waved his hand to let the maid go away, "I'll help you remove your makeup, and then chat while doing it."
"good!"
Xiao Suqin asked the maid to go out.
While removing the phoenix crown and dressing on her head, Ruan Xiaoqiu said, "After you step down, the opera troupe will not be so glorious, right?"
Boss Su was extremely surprised.
Could it be that Ruan Xiaoqiu is here to mock me?
Or I want to incorporate my friends.
If you think about it carefully, Ruan Xiaoqiu, as the largest Qingyi in the capital, has a wide range of acting careers. He also has several famous actors under his opera troupe, which makes it very popular.
She was right. If she stopped singing in the opera troupe, she would naturally lose her backbone. With Qian Ying, Liang Shanbo alone, if she could not find a good Zhu Yingtai, "Liang Zhu" might not be able to continue to be the top.
It seems good if my friends can follow Ruan Xiaoqiu?
Thinking about it here, Ruan Xiaoqiu said again: "Look at me, how about joining your troupe?"
To be continued...
