Chapter 29 Cause trouble
"You know better than me. Tell the eldest brother, oh, by the way, what's your last name?" The fifth prince pulled Guo Tuiguan with a fan, and then remembered that he didn't know his last name.
"The subordinate is Guo Muxian, the promoter of the Beijing government, and his name is Shangwen." Guo Pushu first answered the words of the fifth prince, and hurriedly turned to the eldest prince and arched his hand and replied, "Grandpa, this is a new thing, just like at the beginning of last month. A new rule has been made in the Muji Soup Noodle Shop in Maijie Hutong, saying that a guest donates 20 bowls of noodles every day, and a sign made into water droplets is hung on the wall, as long as there is water on the wall. Card, no matter who can enter the store and ask for a bowl of water on the wall to eat, without paying. The most interesting thing is that there is also a bowl of wine and two plates of dishes. If you want to eat noodles, you can also eat a bowl of noodles and give two bowls of money. The extra bowl will be hung on the wall. This is called adding a bowl of spring noodles, and the wheat hutong is next to The Gongyuan and Daxiangguo Temple went to eat the surface of the water. Most of the literati were embarrassed. A few days ago, the store added pen, ink, paper and inkstones, saying that they were those who came to eat the water surface. A bowl of wine and delicious soup noodles, they loved to write a poem and crooked words or something. The shopkeeper asked people prepare paper and ink, saying that they were ready to order for a month. One book, and another book are arranged in the back for people to look at. This soup noodle shop is really elegant.
Guo Tuiguan said in great detail, and the fifth prince was surprised: "Is there still pen and ink? I didn't look at it carefully, brother, isn't it interesting? The eldest prince listened very carefully. After listening to the fifth prince's question, he turned his head and looked at him thoughtfully. The fifth prince quickly moved his eyes, clicked on the tea soup on his hand and Houfu Yin smiled, "Hufu Yin said that the tea method was popular among the hermits of the previous dynasty. Which book is it recorded? Is there a particular way to make tea? I think the tea tastes good.
"There are many records in the notes of the Six Dynasties. The subordinate turned back to find a few articles about making tea and sent someone to the fifth master tomorrow." Houfu Yin said with a smile. The fifth prince nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and laughed at the eldest prince, "Originally, he said it was to take a look, but it delayed the eldest brother's so much time. Brother, you are busy. I'll leave first. This afternoon, I made an appointment to listen to the little song. The new Miss Hongtao in the green powder building is more and more pleasant, just like this spring. It's so comfortable. If it's two days later, I'll talk to the eldest brother again.
As the fifth prince said, he stood up and arched his hand. The eldest prince also stood up and raised his hand to signal that Hou Fuyin and others did not have to send it out, but he gently pushed the back of the fifth prince to send it out of the main hall, went down the steps of the main hall, and took two more steps. The eldest prince turned his hand behind his back and asked in a very casual tone: "That soup noodle shop is really So interesting?"
"I just think the water surface is interesting." The fifth prince looked at the eldest prince frankly, as if he answered his words, and didn't seem to understand his words. The eldest prince's eyes flashed clearly and turned the topic with a smile: "You can't get it at all, and you are still too busy to make room. Don't make too much noise when you listen to the song. Dad is most addicted to women, leaving flowers, and Yes, I took time to go to my house these two days. Your sister-in-law has been remembering you for a few days, saying that this spring is fragrant and you are playful, afraid that you will get rubella again.
"I haven't been able to afford it for many years. My sister-in-law always treats me as a child. Well, I know. As soon as I go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the eldest brother has a lot of things to do, so I won't bother you. Don't just focus on business. You have to spend more time with my sister-in-law, travel around and listen to a song or something." The fifth prince hurriedly agreed and attached a few words of concern.
The eldest prince shook his head with a smile and went out of the moon door without sending more. Looking at the fifth prince walking out of the second door briskly, the smile on his face gradually faded. His younger brother seemed to be absurd. In fact, his heart was very clear. This trip specially came to talk about this wooden matter...
"Ming'an," the eldest prince shouted in a low voice. Ming'an quickly lowered his hand and listened to the instructions: "There is a Muji soup noodle shop at the entrance of Maizhou Lane not far from Gongyuan. First, check the matter on the surface of the water, and second, find out who the owner is."
"Yes!" Ming Anli agreed and was about to withdraw when the eldest prince suddenly ordered a few more words: "Let's find out how many Muji there are, where they are, how many are there on the water supply surface, and how much they provide in a day, what kind of people go to eat this water."
"Yes!" Ming'an agreed respectfully. This time, he didn't dare to leave. After waiting for a moment, he heard the eldest prince's order: "Go." Then he bowed his hand and withdrew to do the job.
On the day of the ninth month of March, Li Tian went to the Fatai Temple early in the morning to do something for her grandmother. When the legal affairs were about to end in the evening, Mother Xiong came in and whispered: "Five Lady, Ding Qi is out to find out where you are!" Li Tian frowned and hadn't opened her mouth yet. Yue Niang raised her eyebrows and said, "Why doesn't Ding Qi have a long memory? Last time I got wet like that and closed it in the government building all night, did he still dare to come?!"
"How did he know who set the fire? Maybe I didn't expect that it was a lesson for him. He was so stupid that he didn't know how he died!" Mother Xiong pulled down the corners of her mouth and said contemptuously.
"What the fifth lady said is that there are many people who are as stupid as pigs. Why don't I complete him..." Yue Niang quickly turned around in the middle of her words: "It's better to be more euphemistic."
"Let's quietly go down the mountain later and ignore him." Li Tian calculated for a while and ordered. Mama Xiong agreed and went out from the side hall to ask people to prepare a car. Yue Niang accompanied Li Tian to read the last few volumes of scriptures. Li Tian put on a hat and Yue Niang went around to the side door and got on the car and went back to the capital.
After leaving Fatai Temple for two quarters of an hour, Yue Niang lifted the curtain and came in. She sighed heavily before saying, "That fool caught up." Li Tian turned around and raised the curtain behind him. As soon as he shot from the car, Ding Qi was dressed in a bright pink gown and kept swinging his whip on the horse, rushing to catch up like a spark.
"Brupt the horse's leg." Li Tian put down the curtain and looked coldly. She simply told Yue Niang. Yue Niang smiled briskly, got out of the car, weighed and chose a suitable stone from the roadside, squinted slightly, stared at Ding Qi, who was running fast, and pinched the opportunity, and threw the stone in her hand like a meteor.
The stone did not accidentally hit the bone joint of the front leg of Ding Qi**'s galloping horse. The horse hiss with pain, and its front legs were raised high, lifting the unprepared Ding Qi under the horse. When his front leg fell, he fell directly to the ground. Ding Qi was also lifted behind by the horse, otherwise the horse fell to the ground. He must be half-dead.
Ding Qi was thrown and screamed repeatedly. The little man behind him was shocked. He jumped off the horse and dragged Ding Qi. Ding Qi covered his buttocks with his hands and howled. Fortunately, the road was very lively. Several servants begged for money. They finally borrowed a car from a caravan, put Ding Qi into the car and rushed in. Chengxun fell and the doctor went to be diagnosed and treated.
The first performance of Yuan Xiucai's new drama was set in the peony shed of the Sang family's tiles. From seven or eight days ago, detailed notices were posted all over the city. The shopkeeper Wang used money in various tabloids and sent all kinds of news. Every tabloids have about Yuan Xiucaixin every day. All kinds of true or false news about the play and Yao Xianxian and others. This tabloid and the imperial court's residence newspaper are both a must-see for the upper class in the capital. In just two or three days, this new play has become the biggest new thing in the streets and alleys of the capital. This play is a notebook written by Yuan Xiucai and is the hero played by Yao Xianxian and Zhou Yilang. This is not the most talkative, the most heated and thought-provoking. The price of stretching out his neck to watch the bustle or watching jokes is the price of the play, and ten taels of silver is set for one person! Such a price is simply unprecedented.
Li Tian, dressed in a light blue dress, sat in the eaves porch of Lin Ke and Yu Yaofang, drinking tea and eating snacks and gossiping. Lin Ke raised her legs and stretched out her waist and sighed, "Spring is so good! I just like spring the most!"
"If you like it, why do you still gritt your teeth?" Li Tian smiled and said, Lin Ke smiled and said with hatred, "It's her! The other son said that I like spring the most, and she laughed at me and said that I like all the lively and bright things. She thought I was tacky!"
"I didn't say you were tacky." Yu Yaofang squeezed her lips and waved her hands with a smile. Lin Ke straightened up and shouted, "You said that I don't like anything simple. Isn't that mean I'm tacky!"
"Do you like plain things?" Li Tian looked at Lin Ke and asked. Lin Ke was bored for a moment, but she still shook her head: "I just don't like it."
"If you don't like it, you don't like it. If you like it, you like it. If you don't hear the saint say it, great wisdom is stupid, great ingenious as clumsy, and vulgarity is elegant. You just care what Yaoyao says? She still thinks that we don't learn and have no skills, so we are determined to be romantic!" Li Tian smiled and said, Lin Ke repeatedly clapped his hands and said, "That's what it means! Did you hear that? I'm Da Ya, a real famous man! Humph! Lin Ke proudly raised her chin to Yu Yaofang and said 'hum'. Yu Yaofang fell on the rocking chair with a smile, lit Li Tian and asked with a smile, "When did the saint say that vulgarity is elegant? Why haven't I seen it?"
"How many books have you read? Tiantian, we ignored her. Speaking of this lively thing, have you heard about the most lively thing in the capital these days? A scholar surnamed Yuan wrote a play and actually wanted to sell ten taels of silver for one person, but someone else bought it. Lin Ke's topic and interest have shifted very quickly.
Yu Yaofang didn't answer. She only looked at Li Tian. Li Tian smiled and said, "Anyway, someone is willing to buy it. I still sell ten taels of silver cheaply."
"Oh!" Lin Ke's surprised eyebrows were about to fly out: "You sell it cheaply... Is that play yours?"
"Well," Li Tian nodded affirmatively, and Lin Ke jumped up suddenly: "How can you rehearsce? How can you do such a business? That's a lowly job. You are a noble girl and a little lady who hasn't gone out. Do you still want to have a reputation? Oh, what can I do about this!?"
