Blissful Days After Widowhood

After the rehearsal, Gu Yin stood in front of the stage for a while, until she stared at Brother Xiaofeng and the others with sincerity and fear, and she had to sit back in her own seat.

Wu Qingyi was still sitting there.

When the two of them stayed together in the past, they were always very comfortable. But today's atmosphere is so ambiguous that Gu Yin is not used to it.

It's not that it makes her uncomfortable, it's that she is not ready!

She started looking for words and said, "Do you think the person playing the little daughter-in-law looks familiar?"

A slight smile appeared on Wu Qingyi's lips, but she still followed her line of sight.

The drama is different from the traditional drama. The performers do not need to make money, do not wear heavy makeup, and do not wear robes. Whether it is makeup or dressing, they are closer to the appearance of life.

"It seems that I have seen it somewhere." Wu Qingyi frowned and pondered, but couldn't remember for a while.

"It's Chu Manrong." Gu Yin explained to him with a smile, "Originally, in the opera, there were all male actors, but we didn't need that in our drama. The heroine's position is vacant, so I'll invite this 'face-puller' from our family."

Wu Qingyi still couldn't remember Chu Manrong's name, but when it came to the face-pulling teacher, he immediately remembered it.

"She made you tame."

Gu Yin smiled and shook her head again, seeing that the people on the stage didn't notice her, she approached Wu Qingyi, lowered her voice and said, "Where can I tame it? I don't have that ability. It's me and her. After all, she wants to."

The restaurant behind it, like Wangtianlou, also tried to imitate it.

But their noodle masters are either not as good as Chu Manrong in appearance, or their craftsmanship is not good. In short, when the noodle masters are mentioned in the capital, diners still think of Chu Manrong.

Although Chu Manrong was against Gu Yin because she refused to accept the discipline, she asked Gu Yin to arrange for a confrontation.

But Gu Yin did not treat her badly. The price of a handmade noodle on the spot was not cheap, it cost thirty cents, because it was not just the noodles themselves, but the skills.

For each serving, Chu Manrong can get ten cents.

She has practiced dance for many years and is stronger than ordinary women, and can be involved in dozens of pieces a day.

Like when the business was good in the past, Chu Manrong could earn a dozen or twenty taels of dividends a month, as well as a base salary of fifty taels of silver.

She sharpened her head and wanted to climb high branches, that is, she wanted to live a good life. Although it is hard now, she can earn so much money and improve her life by herself. She has done a lot.

Yin let her come.

For an arrogant person like Chu Manrong, being an actor on the fifth floor is of course a good job, and Gu Yin promises that it will not be more profitable Little, Chu Manrong looked at his increasingly developed biceps and agreed without thinking.

Wu Qingyi listened to Gu Yin's soft voice in her ear, her eyes were still on the stage, but she couldn't help but think back, when she just pinched her earlobe Unforgettable touch.

How can it be so soft?

On the stage, Chu Manrong just played the part where she was living on the street after reconciling with her ex-husband.

Perceiving Wu Qingyi's gaze, she performed more and more hard, huddled with pear blossoms and rain, crying softly, so pitiful, but she was laughing in her heart, as expected, the men in the world are black, Wu Qingyi is also not taking her eyes away look at her?

Although she has stopped relying on men now, it does not prevent her from thinking about letting men fall for her.

The curtain falls and the scene changes. As the plot progressed, the little daughter-in-law played by Chu Manrong was taken in by the food for heaven and worked here.

This dress is better than the previous coarse cloth dress, and it can better complement her figure.

Want to come to Wu Qing for advice, it should be more attractive, right?

I was thinking to myself, suddenly, Chu Manrong was stuffed with dough in his hand.

She asked curiously, "What is this?"

The field worker explained: "I didn't have all the props before, but this is the first time I have the effect on the stage. If you don't do anything, you will just show your bullshit, Master Chu."

In the original plot, the little daughter-in-law didn't say what to do when she arrived at Shiweitian. After all, traditional opera has a limited form of expression.

Of course it can be performed in a drama, and you don't have to think about any plots, just do what she is good at.

"Don't call me Master Chu!" Chu Manrong gritted his teeth.

Speaking, the curtain was drawn, Chu Manrong was holding a dough, there was no other way but to pull the dough again.

After watching her talk, Gu Yin stood up and said, "The effect is almost the same, and it's all done well. I won't watch it any more, Brother Xiaofeng, come over and leave it to you."

Brother Xiaofeng came out from the backstage and saluted, "The boss has worked hard, I will definitely supervise everyone's rehearsal."

Most of the performers on the fifth floor were from the foreplay troupe, and naturally they all followed his lead.

Only Chu Manrong is the only one who doesn’t obey discipline very much, but Gu Yin has a solution for a long time. She told Xiaofeng brother that as long as Chu Manrong is passive at work, let her go back to the first floor to chat face. If she was tired enough, she naturally didn't have the strength to do anything.

Gu Yin gave Chu Manrong a pointed glance, and Xiao Feng immediately nodded, saying that she could save it all.

When they were talking, Wu Qingyi got up and walked to her side, under Gu Yin's wide sleeves, his warm palm took Gu Yin's hand.

Gu Yin was still talking to Brother Xiaofeng, but suddenly her palms were wrapped, her face flushed red, her hands clenched into fists, and she struggled slightly under her sleeves.

She released her fist and then dodged, Wu Qingyi's big palm pinched her palm at this moment. Then the fingers intertwined.

Said: "If there are other things that are wrong, the owner said it's okay, I will definitely change it."

Gu Yingen's ears were hot, and he said hurriedly: "No, I was just thinking about something else. You guys are going well in the rehearsal."

Afraid that people would see the clue, Gu Yin left with Wu Qingyi after she finished speaking.

From the fifth floor, according to Gu Yin's habit, she usually sits in the elegant house on the third floor for a while.

Now that Wu Qingyi is following, it will be inconvenient, and if Mrs. Lu's nerds see it, they may make fun of her.

So Gu Yin directly led him out of the restaurant, pulling the curtains on the fifth floor and didn't realize it, only to find out that it was dusk outside.

Wu Qingyi still held her hand until she returned to the carriage.

Gu Yin glared at him and said angrily, "Isn't it loose? Did you let me climb onto the carriage with one hand?"

Wu Qingyi smiled and gave her hand, but when Gu Yin turned around, he picked her up by the waist and put her directly on the carriage.

"You..." Before Gu Yin's exclamation came out, she was already seated.

I heard Wu Qingyi endure it again: "No need to climb, Madam, won't you go up?"

The coachman was not far away, Gu Yin didn't bother to break up with her, and went into the carriage with a blushing face.

Wu Qingyi naturally followed, but when she saw Gu Yin entered, she was facing inward, half lying on the pillow, with a look of "I want to rest, don't disturb me".

He looked funny, and when she came to her side, Gu Yin immediately opened her eyes and looked at him.

Wu Qingyi couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and hurriedly said, "Don't look at me like a thief, I didn't do anything."

Gu Yin closed her eyes again and complained softly, "You've done enough today."

Wu Qingyi touched her nose and asked, "Are you really tired?"

Gu Yin gave a soft "um", he moved the low table to the other side, and said, "Then you lie down for a while. I'll call you when I get home."

Although the carriage of the Duke's Mansion is spacious, if you lie down completely, it will be very cramped for people to sit on, especially Wu Qingyi, who is so tall and crowded with the small low table, I can't stretch my arms and legs, I can only sit on my knees, pitiful.

Thinking about what he didn't do today, touching his ears and holding hands, even in the early stages of a relationship, it was not considered a behavior of overstepping Meng Lang.

Gu Yin said: "No, the carriage is bumpy, no matter how you sleep, you won't be comfortable. I'll just take it for a while."

"So?" Wu Qingyi went to her side again, helped her up, leaned against the wall of the car, and put the pillow on him.

Gu Yin still didn't understand, Wu Qingyi patted his chest and said, "I'll put it on you, it shouldn't be so bumpy."

Because there was a long pillow between the two of them, and their jackets in early spring were not much thinner than their jackets, Gu Yin gave a low "um" and leaned on past.

It turns out that his heart beats as fast as hers.

Wu Qingyi didn't do anything with other meanings, just stretched out her hand and patted her back, just like Gu Yin usually coaxed Gu Ye to sleep.

Hearing her even breathing, Wu Qingyi lowered her eyes, and what she saw was her peaceful and beautiful sleeping face.

He stretched out his hand to help her brush the broken hair on her forehead behind her ear, and his fingers couldn't help rubbing her earlobe again.

Gu Yin snorted in her sleep, and he immediately let go.

…

The protagonist of the banquet is of course Gu Ye.

I saw his little man standing tall and straight in front of people, no matter who came up to say hello, he didn't have the slightest stage fright, and answered fluently.

Emperor Zheng Yuan looked at him and couldn't help thinking that when he was a child, he couldn't seem to be able to do this when he was about seven years old.

A sense of pride rose in his chest. Emperor Zhengyuan looked at Gu Ye and could already imagine how outstanding he would be when he grew up in a few years.

Emperor Zheng Yuan was thinking about Gu Ye in the future, but out of the corner of his eye he saw that the poised little guy, after talking to a minister, bowed his hands and saluted, and then walked unhurriedly. around yourself.

Emperor Zheng Yuan was also talking to someone, and suddenly there was something in his hand.

It was handed over by his own son, although Emperor Zhengyuan didn't know what it was, he still accepted it calmly.

Someone else came to talk to Gu Ye, and Gu Ye passed by again.

Emperor Zheng Yuan sent the people in front of him away, raised his sleeves while drinking, and finally was able to see what the little guy just stuffed - a small purse, it was Gu Ye The one I'm wearing today, and inside is a pack of lard **** wrapped in greased paper!

Of course there will be no shortage of food at the palace banquet, but there is no such thing that the common people will eat.

Emperor Zheng Yuan looked over with a funny look, and Gu Ye came over after talking to the people.

He still had a stern face and a stern look, but whispered in his mouth: "I see that you have drunk a lot of alcohol, you can easily get drunk if you drink it dry, eat this sweet mouth!"

While speaking, taking advantage of the gap that no one saw, he winked at Emperor Zheng Yuan.

This was of course Gu Yin fried him at home and brought it out in her purse.

The lard residue in the mouth, although it is cold, it is still fragrant and crunchy.

Don't say it, it's really good to drink, and it is more suitable for Emperor Yuan's appetite than those prepared by the royal chef!

If it wasn't for the father and son to hold it in front of the ministers, Emperor Zhengyuan really wanted to slap the little guy's head baldly and scratch his creaking nest to see if he was pretending Out of this little adult appearance.

In the evening, the banquet was finally over.

No need for Emperor Zheng Yuan to speak, Gu Ye sent the ministers out.

Everyone said "don't dare" and told him to stay.

Between the salute and the return of the salute, Gu Ye watched everyone out of the hall, walked away, and returned to Emperor Zhengyuan.

Emperor Zheng Yuan was in a good mood and smiled at him: "You are very good today..."

Gu Ye raised his chest and raised his head for a whole day, his waist and back were aching, and he was waiting to hear Emperor Zhengyuan's praise, when the palace servant suddenly came to report that Feng Guifei asked to see him.

Emperor Zheng Yuan was a little drunk, so he recalled and said, "Didn't she go back to her mother's house? Why did she come back now?"

Qian Sansi reported: "It should be the imperial concubine who received the imperial decree at the Duke of Lu..."

Emperor Zheng Yuan remembered, nodded and said, "Then let her in."

Gu Ye just sat down and rested when he heard the words and stood up and said, "It's not too early, I'm going out of the palace."

Emperor Zheng Yuan waved his hand and said it was all right, "She's not an outsider, she's your concubine, she should meet."

As he said, Emperor Zhengyuan stretched out his hand to the back of his neck, felt the sweat on his neck, and said: "It's not dark yet, you will catch a cold if you sweat out the wind. Be obedient and wait for the sweat to dry. Let's go."

Gu Ye didn't really want to see that Feng Guifei, but when Emperor Zheng Yuan said so, he understood.

He, the emperor, should hope that he and Feng Guifei get along in harmony, at least on the surface.

In the past, it was the emperor's father who thought for him.

Gu Ye gave him a look of "I will listen to you when you tell me, I don't care when others say it", he obeyed obediently, and stayed still.

After a while, Feng Guifei came in.

After entering, Concubine Feng saluted first, and then Emperor Zhengyuan asked her to get up, but she didn't get up, instead she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine you lied to is so bitter!"

Feng Guifei held the handkerchief and cried, doing the weak wind and supporting the willow, slightly sideways, revealing a long white and slender neck and a small piece of snow-white shoulders.

In addition, Feng Guifei has a plump figure. When she deliberately tilted her body like this, the gully in front of her chest is also looming.

This is what Emperor Zhengyuan likes. Usually, as long as she acts like a spoiled child, Emperor Zhengyuan will soften her heart.

But the bad is bad, Feng Guifei only listened to Qian Sansi saying that everyone was scattered, but Gu Ye was still inside!

"What are you doing!" Emperor Zhengyuan, who was still in a good mood just now, immediately changed his face and summoned: "Qian Sansi, the imperial concubine has lost her honor, invite the imperial concubine down!"

Concubine Feng raised her head and saw the angry face of Emperor Zheng Yuan and the stunned Gu Ye next to him.

"Your Majesty..."

…

"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean it!"

In the British public mansion, the whole family retreated and gathered in the main courtyard.

Gu Ye pulled his collar to his shoulders, knelt on the ground and cried, "I don't know that there are other people around..."

And then changed to a rough voice, "You are arrogant, what others, except for King Lie in this hall, where is anyone else?"

After finishing the study, he looked at Song Shiliu and Wu An again, and whispered: "Hurry up and pull me, what are you waiting for?"

Song Shiliu and Wu An laughed sour, they immediately grabbed Gu Ye's arm and dragged him to the door.

Gu Ye was dragged to the door and said again: "Your Majesty, the concubine made a blunder, you don't care about the face of the concubine, you have to look at Xu'er's face anyway."

After finishing speaking, he broke free from Song Shiliu and Wu An's hands and said, "That's it, His Majesty drove her away."

Gu Yin and Wang Shi were waiting for him to come back this day to ask about the palace.

Although they have heard Wu Qingyi briefly talk about it, but after all, they have to listen to Gu Ye's own words and say that it goes well, and then everyone can relax.

Gu Ye said that everything was going well, that is, Emperor Zhengyuan wanted to make him a king, and a censor jumped out and said that there has never been such a young prince to make a king. First raise the eldest son of the emperor in the palace, and then make these preparations when he is a little older.

But Mr. Wen quickly refuted it.

Gu Ye imitated the appearance of Mrs. Wen, with one hand behind his back and the other at the beard that did not exist on his chin, he squinted and sneered: "What is the history? Chao Taizu, did you mean the previous dynasty?"

The censor was indeed an official of the previous dynasty, and the one left by Emperor Zhengyuan to the present is still a bit brainy.

Mr. Wen calmly said this, that is, he was an official of the new dynasty, and he was still thinking about the old system of the previous dynasty! In Cao Ying, the heart is in Han!

The censor did not dare to say any more, and was so frightened that the two battles kept asking for guilt.

He learned this, and later said that Concubine Feng had just said a few words and let Emperor Zhengyuan drive away. Wang asked a strange question, saying that this concubine is not very favored? Otherwise, the Feng family would not have shaken like that before.

Gu Ye became addicted to drama and learned Feng Guifei's seductive attitude, which made everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Gu Yin hurriedly said: "Don't learn, don't learn, you directly say that Feng Guifei's expression is wrong, and let His Majesty drive away, we all know about a word."

Gu Ye sat beside her, "I learned this because I didn't ask me. I know I can't do this outside! I'm doing so well today, and Your Majesty praises me!"

Gu Ye looked at his uncle as he spoke, and Wu Qingyi smiled and said, "Indeed, Ono's appearance and style of conversation are like a different person."

Things went smoothly, Gu Ye was in a good mood, so he was a lot more lively than usual.

"So I'll be seven years old next month." Gu Ye kicked his shoes to bed and counted with his fingers, "I had my birthday on the road last September, it's only been a few months. , March is over again."

Gu Yinzheng wiped his head with a handkerchief, "Isn't it right? In this way, you spend in the palace in March, and in September we live in private. Everyone else only has one birthday, but you can live two one."

Gu Yete said this because he was afraid that his mother would be unhappy. After all, he swore earlier that he would only celebrate the birthday that he met his mother. When he heard this, the little guy immediately laughed and cocked his head. Gu Yin's hand, "Mother is the best."

After a while, his hair was dried by Gu Yin, who was about to coax him to sleep.

Suddenly, Gu Ye said, "Mother, how do you think I am the emperor?"

Gu Yin was about to fall asleep, she was startled when she heard this, she just became a prince, why did she want to be an emperor? He immediately asked him if someone else had taught him anything.

Gu Ye replied, "No one taught me, I thought of it myself."

Gu Yin was afraid that he would be provoked at a young age and didn't know, so she felt relieved when she heard this, "I know your little head is better than the average person, but this is not your age should think."

Gu Ye sighed and said, "If only I could grow up sooner. Mother doesn't know, but today I know what the emperor is like."

Gu Ye had been in contact with Emperor Zhengyuan for some time, but his identity was not made public at that time, he could not appear in front of people, and only met in private.

Also miserable.

Especially when Gu Ye personally saw Feng Guifei, who was arrogant and domineering in Wang's mouth, when he arrived in front of Emperor Zhengyuan, he was as obedient as a little rabbit. , only dare to beg for mercy.

It turns out that being an emperor is like this, which is many times more beautiful than when he was a child king before.

Gu Yin looked at him eagerly, and sighed worriedly.

Especially because he is the eldest son, even if he does not fight or fight, the brothers behind him have to remove him first to ensure that the throne is secure.

"In fact, it's not just what you want to do," Gu Yin thought about the words, and said with him: "You have to be the prince first, and then wait for His Majesty to be old and gone, and then turn around. It's up to you. So if you think about it now, it's not enough, and you must not reveal a word to others. "

After speaking, Gu Yin thought about it again, "You can't say it in front of the Queen."

It is not that she wants to alienate the mother-son relationship between Gu Ye and Queen Zhou, but that Queen Zhou also has a son. The future is uncertain.

Gu Ye nodded again and again, "I know, I have to tell others, others still think I am looking forward to my emperor's father. So I only tell my mother, and my mother knows that I am not that kind. Bad boy."

Gu Yin hugged him and patted him, and then heard him half-awake and whisper: "My emperor's father is actually very good, and he is young, I can't wait for him to be gone. Well, first set a small goal, I will be a prince first."

Gu Yin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It's really a "small goal"!
