Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

"Papapa..." When Huanguan'er's singing came to an end, Prince Zhongshun spread his smile, clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, wonderful, really wonderful! That is to say, Lunfeng Liudou's waist, also known as Qingping's wonderful words. Huan thinks that plump plums are thin, so there is no need to doubt the reward pearl today. Good! Order it down, show it to the king, and appreciate it seriously."

"Thank you, my lord, for the reward. I am ashamed to accept it." Although I don't know what I will be rewarded yet, I have to say the words of appreciation early.

Just now they sang "The Drunken Concubine", Jia Huan was in full costume and her face makeup was already fine, now she stepped forward to thank Prince Zhongshun for his blessing.Although he came here alone, who made Zhongshun Prince's Mansion support a lot of opera actors, and the things used for opera are more complete than ordinary opera troupes.

"Go down and clean up. It's almost noon now. After packing up, we'll have lunch at the palace before going." Prince Zhongshun still squinted his eyes, looked at Jia Huan intently, and ordered with the corners of his lips curled up. .

Jia Huan knew that eating later would be the most important thing, so he responded calmly, and followed the servants back to remove makeup and change clothes.

When he was almost done tidying up, Li Ping came in with his hands behind his back smiling, followed by two servants carrying trays.I saw the old man raised his eyebrows, and said arrogantly: "Hurry up, the prince is very interested today, and ordered you to eat with his old man's house after packing up. By the way, look at these, every piece The children are all good things, and they are all rewarded by the prince."

Jia Huan immediately bowed deeply to Li Ping to express his gratitude, and after glancing at the two trays, Fang said: "It is a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes to be able to dine with the prince. However, I also ask Mr. Li to mention a few things. What are the taboos during the meal? If I make a mistake and be punished at that time, it’s fine, I’m afraid that if you spare the prince’s interest and let his old man’s family not have a good meal, then it will be an unforgivable crime.”

"Well, even if you are caring, you still know to ask in advance. Let me tell you, our lord's rules are very strict, let me tell you in detail..." Li Ping nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and put some of his lord's The rules came slowly, and after babbling and exhorting for a long time, he took people away.

Being able to mention Jia Huan in such detail is not because of the kindness of this old man. The root cause is that he is very satisfied with the purse that Jia Huan stuffed in when he came.

Jia Huan watched him go out, and still sat down to tidy up his makeup, but his eyes couldn't help moving to the two trays on the side.What Li Ping said was right, there were only three items in the tray, but each item was rare and good.

On the tray on the left, there are two pieces of jade pendants, which can be astonishing without looking at the material of the carving.One piece is a creamy white suet jade; the other piece is a delicate, pure, fresh emerald green jadeite.

The one on the right is only a plum vase. Jia Huan stared at it for a long time, although he had some speculations in his heart, he dared not draw a conclusion.After all, he wasn't very good at these curios.However, since this thing came from the hands of Prince Zhongshun, it must not be a fake.

The blue and white plum vase from the previous dynasty!

Even when Jia Huan was still in Rongfu, Jia Huan had never seen these three things, let alone kept them for himself.Of course, this is mostly related to his identity back then.A mere bastard who hates cats and dogs, even if there are any good things in the mansion, they can't reach his eyes.

If it was the Second Master Bao, he would not have been raised as shallow as him.

It's just... It's just that he came to the door and sang two mere plays. How can he be a Huan Guaner worthy of such a generous gift from the loyal and obedient prince? !

Speaking of which, Jia Huan has only studied opera for two or three years, and the foundation was not laid by him as a child. If he hadn't acquired the new accent passed down by his master, how would he be able to survive in this capital city where there are many famous actors?

Being willing to act so generously, Prince Zhongshun thought that what he wanted to come here was not small, but he didn't know...whether their plans could meet in one place.

Jia Huan's heart couldn't help feeling even heavier, but the movements of his hands didn't stop. In just a short while, he had changed from Concubine Yang in brocade make-up and fine attire to Huan Guaner in plain green robes.He coughed lightly, and walked to the door, where there were already servants waiting outside.

Still following the servant to lead the way, the one who went was no longer the pavilion in the garden, but was followed along the surrounding path to a flower hall.There was a round table in the middle of the flower hall, and Prince Zhongshun had already sat at the main seat.Jia Huan slightly raised his eyes, but he didn't see the young man just now.

"Come here and sit down, and ask this king to treat you well." Lord Zhongshun saw Jia Huan, smiled and waved to him, and after he had saluted and thanked him for the reward, he said again: "Speaking of which, this king is very fond of you." You already know something about your life experience, so it's not easy to call you by the name of the troupe. If that's the case, I'll call you Huan'er in the future, okay?"

"My lord..." Jia Huan showed a complicated expression on his face, which seemed to be grief and indignation but also grateful. After standing up and bowing deeply to King Zhongshun, Fang said: "I don't dare to ask for my wish."

"Haha... Huan'er doesn't have to be like this, sit down quickly." Lord Zhongshun stretched out his hand to support Jia Huan, pushed him onto the chair, then gently twirled his beard, and said, "How can you say that you are also a direct relative of Duke Rong. Later generations, there is no need to be so polite and courteous to this king. In addition, we have the same interests now, so we should be closer and more casual."

After agreeing on the address, the two seemed to be more cordial and casual. Prince Zhongshun ordered people to prepare meals while chatting with Jia Huan.I didn't ask him about his time in Rongfu, but only talked about topics related to singing.While talking, seeing that the lunch had been served, he called Jia Huan to start again...

Until lunch was over, and Jia Huan Haosheng was specially ordered to be sent back, Prince Zhongshun didn't say anything else.

Jia Huan was not surprised by this, he said his farewell respectfully and calmly, and then returned home in the carriage of Prince Zhongshun.Today is just the first contact, and it's not the time to express your feelings.Besides, this prince probably wants to take another look to see how that prince behaves.

"Grandpa, you are back. It's about this time, it's time for lunch? How about I go make you a bowl of noodles?" Caixia had already been waiting inside the door, and when she saw her grandfather coming back, she felt as if He let out a sigh of relief.He rushed forward to meet her, took the gift box from her grandfather, and asked in a loud voice.

The reputation of Prince Zhongshun is not very good, especially in terms of Long Yang.Even if she was a little maid who didn't leave her home, she had heard about that beautiful official Jiang Yuhan back then.Therefore, her father went to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion today and didn't come back in the middle of the afternoon, so she was really anxious.Now seeing that people are doing well and the aisles are as usual, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry about it, I've already eaten." Jia Huan patted the girl's shoulder reassuringly, understanding what she was worried about, raised her eyebrows in her heart but said calmly: "You've been by my side for so long, you should know, It's not easy to make me suffer."

"My lord, you have practiced your skills now, but what use is it to deal with the prince? Can you still...can you still beat the prince? Besides, there are so many guards in the palace. I'm afraid there are many of you who are capable." Caixia was not as confident as him, she put the box in her hand aside casually, still muttering.

"Let's not talk about it, we are just Xiajiu now... we are just common people, so what if we are still in the mansion of the Duke? He is a majestic prince! Back then, he just sent an official to Just casually say something to the second master, so what about the second master Bao? Such an extraordinary man, why didn't he be pushed on the stool, stripped his pants and beat him..."

Jia Huan sat on the chair, didn't mind her nagging, poured a cup of tea by himself with the teapot, and listened with gentle eyes.Hearing that Jia Baoyu was beaten, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth slightly.

Hehe, Jia Baoyu's precious egg has been beaten so hard, and he is adding oil and vinegar, adding fuel to the fire.

Caixia saw that she had been talking for a long time, but her father just listened and didn't respond, she couldn't help pushing him slightly annoyed, and persuaded: "Master, it's better not to go on stage in person in the future, it's not like there are no people in the team. For the other dan roles, you just need to be in the back."

"Since master taught me kung fu, he naturally hopes that I can carry it forward. How can I live up to his old man's last wish." Jia Huan didn't seem to like this topic, pointed to the box he brought back, and said: " Go and pack up the things in the box, this trip to Prince Zhongshun not only didn’t hurt you, but took advantage of it. Go and have a look, they are all good things.”

"..." Caixia opened her mouth, but because of her father's expression, she didn't dare to continue, but she couldn't help mumbling in her heart, she didn't know whose last wish she was following!After opening the box according to the master's words, he couldn't help exclaiming, "Hiss, this jade is really good!"

After singing at Zhongshun Prince's Mansion this day, Jia Huan still came on stage to sing from time to time.I don't know if he really likes it or what, but every time there are Prince Zhongshun and Prince Beijing Jing to support him. With the two princes' compliments, Huanguan'er's reputation became more and more famous in the capital.

"Brother Zhongshun..." Prince Beijing listened to Jia Huan's play, turned around slightly, and called out King Zhongshun who was next door with a smile on his handsome face.However, before his next words could come out, he was interrupted unceremoniously.

"Presumptuous! Boy of the Shui family, how many times has this king said, how can you use the title 'Brother Wang' on this king? This king is the son of the old sage, the younger brother of the sage, with you But it doesn’t matter at all. Today, this king will warn you for the last time, and if I tell you to hear Hu Qin in your mouth, I will have to teach you for your dead father.”

It was naturally no one else who interrupted him, Prince Zhongshun pouted angrily, and squinted at Prince Jing from the corner of his eyes.He has never been pleasing to the eyes of this water melting, on the surface he is aloof from the world and has a modest temperament, but in reality he knows what kind of guy he is.

Even though he was insulted with words like this, King Bei Jing only froze for a moment, but he still smiled as usual, and said: "It was Xiao Wang who overstepped, and I will remember to honor him as a prince in the future."

If Jia Huan saw this scene, he would sigh: "What a deep city!"

"The day after tomorrow will be Xiao Wang's birthday, and I didn't plan to make a big deal. However, because it happens to be the whole year, the concubine decided to invite some relatives and friends to come to get together. Therefore, Xiao Wang thought, If you don't invite a theater troupe to your home, I'm afraid it will be too deserted. Now, the only one with a good reputation in the capital is Huan Guan'er. I also ask the prince to be accommodating and ask Xiao Wang to invite Huan Guan'er to the mansion How about a concert?"

"I want to invite Huan'er to sing at the church party, can you afford it?" Prince Zhongshun asked with a laugh instead of giving it a thumbs up.
