Chapter 80 Qiu Tong will reward you
There are still three floors of ritual gates on Jia Sheyuan on the East Road. The next day, the water and land delicacies were filled with small gardens outside the flower hall.
Jia Mu did not speak and did not intend to congratulate her. Jia She took a lot of invitations and sent out invitations to invite all the nobles and family members of the world.
A scholar passed the exam, which was really not worth mentioning for the noble family in the capital, so the bull family in Zhenguo, the Liu family in Liguo, the Chen family in Qiguo, the Ma family in Zhiguo, the Hou family in Xiuguo, the Shi family in Shanguo, etc., however, each sect's own slaves symbolically expressed the bride price and did not come in person, and the level of the Four Kings would not come.
However, Feng Ziying, the son of General Feng Tang, came in person. The Feng family and the Jia family are family friends and once recommended a famous doctor Zhang Youshi to Qin Keqing.
There was also Qin Ye and Qin Zhong arrived at the table.
The "celebration banquet" on that day was said to be a living life, and Jia Cong felt extravagant when he saw it.
In the future, Jia Zheng will be on duty. Other male tribe members of the Jia family include Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Huang, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Chang, Jia Ling, Jia Qing, Jia Zhi, Jia Dairu, Jia Rui, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan.
In this kind of lively occasion, the intervening of the domineering king Xue Pan is indispensable. Xue Pan invited the opera troupe outside to come in for fun.
The female owners include Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and Sanchun.
The big and small maids include Yuanyang, Ping'er, Qiutong, Jinchuan, Caixia, Caiyun, Qingwen, etc.
Jia Mu claimed that "I am old and have poor health and are lazy." She asked Yuanyang to go through the motions. If Jia Baoyu didn't come, Lin Daiyu wouldn't come naturally.
Naturally, the banquet between women and men is separated, the woman is in the flower hall, and the man is outside the flower hall.
It seemed like an ordinary banquet, but this banquet was out of everyone's control and began a series of twists and turns.
...
Jia Cong went into the flower hall to pay homage to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, toasted again, and toasted Li Wan and Wang Xifeng again. Mrs. Xing smiled and showed off her mightyness intentionally or unintentionally: "Cong'er's nightmare is really true, do you think so?"
How did Mrs. Wang not understand? The implication is that Jia Baoyu's spiritual jade is fake? Mrs. Wang sat upright and smiled kindly, "Yes, what's even more rare is that the master loves this child and is willing to pay for it."
Mrs. Wang’s subtext is: Didn’t you just pass the exam for a scholar? My eldest son Jia Zhu passed the exam, but it didn’t happen. Doesn’t you feel embarrassed when Jia She makes such a big fuss?
Mrs. Xing was about to fight back with a verbal maneuver. Wang Shanbao's family and Zhou Rui's family stood behind the two wives.
Jia Cong said quietly: "The two ladies will have a banquet first. If it is too late, it will be cold. I will give you another cup to my sister-in-law."
"I'll drink this cup for me." Wang Xifeng said lazily. Ping'er took it and drank it all with a smile. If there were no elders here, Ping'er would be quite relaxed, gentle, smart, and beautiful, a beautiful girl. Unfortunately, Jia Lian was in a blessing and didn't know how to be blessed.
"Then Lan'er also drinks this cup for me." Li Wan's face was as if dead ashes. Jia Lan took it again, and a small face squeezed out a smile: "It's my nephew who returns to Uncle Cong, and I wish Uncle Cong will be the second time again in Jin Qiu."
Jia Cong went out of the flower hall, and the mandarin ducks folded branches and silk skirt moved slightly. After drinking a few more glasses of wine, the oval's face turned red, which made him even more charming.
Although she is the title of a big girl, she has raised her daughter since childhood. Jia Mu's secretary is only a little worse than Sanchun. It is not too much to say that she is a deputy lady, especially her tall figure, slim waist, and a beautiful lady.
Yuanyang smiled and said, "I can't refuse if I take care of Mr. Cong on behalf of the old lady."
"We'll have some drinks too." Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, and Jia Xichun were unwilling to fall behind and served in the wine.
After drinking so much, Jia Cong was dizzy and could not tell the world of heaven and earth. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Good sisters, spare me, I can't drink it anymore."
Amid the laughter, Jia Cong staggered out, Qingwen came to support her, and cursed in a low voice: "It's true, don't be too arrogant if you can't drink, it will drag you down. This body is so stupid."
Wang Shanbao's family in the hall looked cold when they saw Qingwen: Qingwen often used to be domineering to her servants and looked beautiful again. Wang Shanbao's family had long disliked her, but because Jia Cong gradually became favored, he had no handle to catch him, so he did not complain suddenly.
Let’s talk about the moment when the mandarin ducks came out, Master Jia She, who ranked first in the garden, touched his beard and his eyes were lustful: Mandarin ducks are very beautiful, sooner or later they will be my toy, hehe...
Jia Rui, who attended the banquet, was fascinated by Wang Xifeng in the Meow Flower Hall: "This sister-in-law is really a fairy of the Godly Concubine. If I can have a kiss, it will be worth it..."
In ancient times, opera troupes were divided into external classes and internal classes. The inner classes were raised by wealthy families. In this regard, the court had regulations. In order to demonstrate the mercy and kindness of the rulers, they would regularly order the release of operas and not regularly watch operas and attend party meetings.
The Liu Xianglian invited by Xue Pan actually asked Lai Shangrong from the Lai family to invite him. Liu Xianglian couldn't stand Xue Pan and refused to agree to him. Lai Shangrong invited him.
Liu Xianglian's true identity is not a musician or a low-ranking household. In ancient times, actors were inferior and looked down upon. Shi Xiangyun said that actors were like Daiyu, and Daiyu was immediately annoyed. This is why. Liu Xianglian just liked to play operas in foreign classes and was purely a hobby. Jiang Yuhan was the real actor and even gave the stage name "Qiguan".
The lotus flowers in the pond at the end of summer were still bright and were not stained with mud, but they were already in defeat. Jia Cong came out of the inner flower hall, and the banquet was also held from day to night. The servants held the lamps, and many mothers and servants delivered water and vegetables, and shuttled through the regular manner.
But when Liu Xianglian on the stage used her hands and feet, wearing bright and dazzling costumes, she disguised herself as a female character and sang: "What is the best place for the beautiful scenery? Whose yard is happy... It is like a beautiful family like flowers and water passing years, and they are all left to the ruins of the broken well..."
The person sitting on the seat was intoxicated and dreamy.
"The Peony Pavilion" is Tang Xianzu's representative work, which truly surpasses "The West Chamber". At that time, "The Peony Pavilion" was popular in Jiangnan. A female actor Shang Xiaoling sang this lyrics, she sang the lyrics and cried on the spot, empathizing with her, and died of anger. It is no wonder that Daiyu would be "infatuated" when she heard it.
The oppression of women by feudal society and the magic of that era are all in it.
When Tang Xianzu wrote "Peony Pavilion", he had already seen a lot of things. Tang Xianzu failed the exam twice, because he did not cater to Zhang Juzheng cheating for his son. Later, he became an official and did nothing and kept up and down for half his life. Yang Shen and Pu Songling were this fate, and talented men in ancient times seemed to have this fate.
Xue Pan, who was under the stage, held a piece of crab roe to his mouth, but he didn't put it in his mouth. He was stunned and drooled out of the corner of his mouth, his face squeezed out a smile, his eyes never blinked, and his soul flew out of the sky, and his soul was lingering: "If I could kiss Liu Xianglian, I would be so kind to the Dragon Yang and the Sleeve-breaking habit, it would be worth dying..."
Jia Cong took the seat, and Jia Yun restrained him and said, "My nephew, Uncle Jing Cong, has a cup of food and clothing for his nephew, and now his family has a good time. It is all thanks to Uncle Cong and Brother Qiang."
"No, no, I'll drink tea." Jia Cong didn't dare to drink anymore and asked Jia Yun how he was doing recently.
Jia Yun mentioned Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's affairs in a faint way, and said, "Brother Qiang promised me to take care of the matter of Zhuangzi in Dongfu..."
Jia Yun, a person who is kind to repay, manages the finances and reports on Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's situation. Jia Cong was relieved. When he heard that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong seemed to be suspicious, his eyes flashed with coldness.
At this time, the chief Jia She waved to Qiu Tong and ordered Jia Cong, "Cong'er, you only have Qingwen, you are not considerate. Today, Qiu Tong will give you a reward!"
Several people were stunned on the spot: Qiutong felt wronged, Jia Lian was unwilling, and Qingwen felt very uncomfortable.
After drinking a few cups of tea and listening to Jia She's words, Jia Cong sobered most of the time and cursed in his heart: Qiutong? Later, he fought with Wang Xifeng and You Erjie openly and secretly, jealous, self-righteous, and extremely stupid woman? I don't want to pay 10,000 taels of gold! It's almost the same to give Ping'er to me, although it's impossible...
[Note: The author calculates the original work again and finds that Jia Qiang is actually older than Jia Yun. In addition, Miaoyu probably entered Beijing this year and next year, and is on the road now. Miaoyu's age process can also be calculated: she became a monk at the age of three and started to be a neighbor with Xing Xiuyan at the age of six. She worked for ten years and entered Beijing at the age of seventeen. I won't talk about the specific calculation method, otherwise it would be a burden. Also, the place where Miaoyu lived in Beijing was Ximen Muni Courtyard, not Tiekan Temple, Tiekan Temple, and Shuiyue Temple was the Jia Mansion Family Temple.]
