I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

This time, the crowd was even more riotous.

They all said they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, but when they heard that it was Mr. Fu Cheng, these people did not even dare to be angry.

Yan Changqing is putting on makeup backstage.

This play was carefully arranged by him, and it was he who played the role of Zhang Sheng.

"Squad leader, squad leader, Mr. Fucheng is here."

Someone rushed to report.

"Master Ding?"

Upon hearing the report, Yan Changqing couldn't help but frowned, but he didn't dare to neglect, and rushed out to meet him.

Lord Ding, whose full name is Ding Yongting, is the Prime Minister of the Jinhua Mansion, the official residence of the sixth grade.

Yan Changqing was invited to take the troupe to Dingfu to perform several times, and every time he went, he was in a panic.

Because Ding Yongting always pretended to say that he would not treat the troupe badly, but in the end he only paid a few taels of silver.

There are so many people in the theater troupe, and every time they go there, they have to move a lot of things, build a stage and so on. A few taels of silver can't even earn back the most basic labor costs, let alone make money.

The worst part is that this guy even asks the women in the troupe to drink with him, and even touches him when he drinks too much.

Once, a girl in the troupe was almost forced to jump into the pond.

For this matter, Yan Changqing was very upset, and then declined Ding Yongting's invitation twice in a row on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Could it be that this guy is holding a grudge and deliberately came here today to find fault?

With this thought, Yan Changqing felt a little heavy in his heart.

After all, he has put a lot of effort into this play, carefully arranged it for so long, and it's finally officially started today, so don't make any troubles.

He guessed half right, Ding Yongting really wanted to take the opportunity to find fault, and at the same time he also wanted to enjoy this drama of The West Chamber.

If it were an ordinary theater troupe, he would have already sent someone to make trouble.

But Yan Changqing is very famous, not only the common people like it, but also many officials and their families in Jinhua Prefecture also like to watch Yan Changqing's plays.

For example, the magistrate's wife is Yan Changqing's fan.

Therefore, Ding Yongting didn't dare to do whatever he wanted. If he really wanted to bring Yan Changqing down, it would inevitably arouse public anger. He still understood this simple truth.

However, Yan Changqing declined his invitation twice, which also made him feel very uncomfortable.

So I came here today, first to appreciate the new opera, and second, to give Yan Changqing a bad impression.

Chapter 1 Went to Yuhang Mansion to rush for the exam

"I don't know that Master Ding is here, but the villain is far away, and I hope you will forgive me."

"Hehe, Team Leader Yan is a famous actor in our Jinhua Mansion, maybe he didn't take me seriously?"

Yan Changqing's heart trembled, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "How dare a villain not take an adult seriously?"

"Really?" Ding Yongting sneered, and continued: "In that case, in three days' time, I will set up a stage at my mansion to celebrate the birthday of my third wife."

"This"

"What? Master Yan is not feeling well? Then you need to rest more. It doesn't matter if you don't perform this play tonight!"

These words made it clear that Chi Guoguo was a threat.

Even if Yan Changqing has some human relations, how dare he confront Jinhua's Fucheng?

In the end, he could only swallow his anger and respond: "Yes, I will follow your lord's orders."

Now Ding Yongting was finally satisfied, Fu Xu smiled, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the front row and said: "I have brought my family with me today, is it possible that Banzhu Yan is going to let me stand and watch the show?"

"Don't dare, the villain will ask someone to add a table immediately, come here"

Before Yan Changqing could finish his orders, the third lady who came with Ding Yongting said, "I don't want to sit in the back, I have to sit in the middle of the first row to see clearly."

Ding Yongting responded immediately: "Yes, yes, everything depends on Madam. Leader Yan, did you hear that? Make arrangements immediately. Only two tables are allowed in front, and all other tables are moved back."

He is the Prime Minister of the Jinhua Mansion, how can he be on an equal footing with the grassroots?

He sat in the front row, and the grassroots had to sit in the back.

"Master Ding, this"

Yan Changqing's face froze, and he was about to explain a few words.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the arena: "Master Ding is so powerful!"

"Who?"

"Who is so bold?"

Before Ding Yongting could speak, the two servants started barking like two dogs, and their eyes followed the sound.

As a result, he met Chen Zibai's eyes.

The two got excited immediately, and walked over with a murderous look.

"You are so brave, how dare you humiliate my lord!"

At this time, Ding Yongting finally came back to his senses, sweating profusely from fright, not caring about putting on any official airs, and ran forward in three steps at a time.

"I don't know Mr. Chen is here, I'm rude and rude as an official"

In terms of official rank, both of them are actually sixth rank.However, Chen Zibai is a Beijing official and is responsible for supervising local officials. Even if the prefect of Jinhua meets him, he has to respectfully greet him, let alone the prefect.

"thump"

There were two dull sounds at the scene.

When those two villainous servants heard that their lord claimed to be an official, didn't they kneel down in fright?

Who did this provoke?

"Master Ding, is it difficult to send someone over to book a table in advance if you want to watch a play?"

"Not difficult not difficult"

Ding Yongting was in a cold sweat.

"Then why do you force Master Yan to move the table? According to what you say, if I sit here, don't the tables in the front row have to be moved back?"

"The lower officials know their mistakes"

Being reprimanded in front of so many people, one can imagine how aggrieved Ding Yongting felt.

His face was hot, and he wished he could find a seam to hide it.

The accompanying third wife hurried forward to pay respects with small steps: "My concubine pays my respects to Mr. Chen, Wanfu."

"Okay, why don't I give up my seat to Mr. Ding, and I can stand and watch."

"No, no, I'll stand and watch, I'll stand and watch"

How dare Ding Yongting ask Chen Zibai to give up his seat for him.

What's more, if he can be a prime minister, how can he fail to understand the meaning of Chen Zi's vernacular?Giving up his seat was fake, and he clearly wanted to punish him and make him stand and watch the show.

Fortunately, Chen Zibai didn't want to embarrass Ding Yongting too much. After all, he was also a high-ranking official in the government office. If he slapped him, he still had to reward him with a jujube.

So he said to Yan Changqing: "Team Leader Yan, ask someone to bring up two more chairs and place them on the side. Master Ding can't really stand and watch the show."

"Yes, my lord!"

The chair was quickly brought up and placed between the two tables.

However, Ding Yongting and the third wife seem to have regained some face, but they are suffering in their hearts.

The two servants had no one to wake them up, so they could only keep kneeling.

"choke, choke, choke, choke, choke, choke, choke"

With the beating of gongs and drums on the stage, the play finally started.

A small episode did not affect the effect of the whole play, and cheers and thunderous applause broke out from time to time.

Especially Gu Ming, the mood is very different.

After all, The Story of the West Chamber was created and sold by him in name, and it can be considered a lot of hard work.

Now witnessing it on the stage with my own eyes, I will naturally feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

"Come here, give me a reward!"

Feeling happy, he immediately called the troupe staff, and generously offered ten taels of silver as a reward.

Seeing this, Chen Zibai couldn't help but smiled: "Gu Sheng, I'm not as rich and powerful as you."

While talking, he also took out two taels of silver as a reward.

Gu Ming hurriedly said: "Master Chen's words are serious, more or less it is his heart."

Seeing that Chen Zibai was offering rewards, Ding Yongting had no choice but to take out two taels of silver.

The two adults both gave rewards, and the others naturally also took out silver rewards one after another, and the buddies of the Xide troupe bowed repeatedly to express their thanks.

The people standing behind also came forward to offer a reward.

However, ordinary people don't have that much silver to reward, most of them are copper coins.

The buddy still kept thanking him, as Gu Ming said, more or less it was from his heart.

As soon as the play ended, Ding Yongting left in a hurry.

Yan Changqing thanked Chen Zibai on stage first, and then made a special trip to thank Chen Zibai.

"Thank you Master Chen for helping the villain out of the siege."

"Hehe, trivial matters are nothing to worry about. In addition, Master Ding must have restrained himself after this matter. Leader Yan doesn't have to worry about him coming to trouble you again."

"Thank you sir!"

Afterwards, Gu Ming sent Chen Zibai back to the official office before returning to the inn.

The next day, a group of people met for a stroll around Jinhua Mansion, but Gu Ming didn't need anything special.

But it's the first time to go out with your fiancée, so you have to express it.

After shopping around, I bought some rouge, gouache and jewelry for Nie Xiaoqian, as well as some high-quality silk fabrics.

Yu'er was also touched, and Gu Ming bought her a jade pendant and a hairpin for 20 taels of silver.

Women's jewelry is not just a decoration, but also a savings.

When you really need money urgently, these jewelry can be sold for cash. As long as the quality is not bad, you won't lose much, and sometimes you can even make a profit.

In the afternoon of that day, Gong Zheng also came to Jinhua Mansion, saying that he came to learn a scripture, and planned to make an excerpt of The Story of the West Chamber after returning.

That night, Gu Ming and others continued to enjoy the second play.

After staying for three days, after watching the three-fold drama choreographed by Yan Changqing, he started his return journey.

Along the way, Yu'er was very excited, and kept talking about the show with an unfinished look.

Generally speaking, the play was indeed very successful. In the next two days, many dignitaries from Jinhua Mansion also came here, including the prefect's wife, and offered a reward of ten taels of silver.

In fact, after seeing this play, Gu Ming foresaw that it would be popular.

Firstly, Yan Changqing's choreography was quite good; secondly, this play was very popular in his previous life, and it belongs to traditional classic opera, which has survived for hundreds of years.

This also gave Gu Ming an idea to write a playbook when he has the opportunity: Farewell My Concubine!

Farewell My Concubine is also rumored among the public, including He Yongliang who used to tell stories from time to time.

It's just that no one compiled it into a drama.

In view of the experience of the previous life, once this play is compiled, I believe it will become a classic play again.

With such an idea in mind, after returning to Guobei County, Gu Ming began to spend time drafting drafts.

There is no need to write a long story for this story, according to Gu Ming's idea, about [-] words will do.

Wind can be written in the style of a drama book, and then it will be printed as a comic book with pictures, which will also make it easier for the troupe to adapt it into an opera.

Good sales can also be used to hand in the main task, which is simply a matter of killing several birds with one stone.

Within a few days, the brand new "Farewell My Concubine" that combines the contents of the two worlds was completed.
