Chapter 30 Yutangchun

"Look at your impetuous temper, when did Sister Tian do something unstable? She is not you. You sit down first. Let's listen to Sister Tian. Yu Yaofang threw Lin Ke with a veil. Lin Ke looked at Li Tian with an anxious and worried face, reluctantly sat down, and stared straight at Li Tian and urged him, "Say it quickly! OK, what's your play?"

"It's not for rehearsal, but for the competition at the beginning of next month. I want Yutang Chunjiu in Qianchunfang to win the first name of this year's competition. Several shopkeepers discussed it and thought of such a way."

"What does this play have to do with competition wine?" Lin Ke interrupted Li Tian's words with an inexplicable face.

"Listen to Sister Tian at ease! It's true... the bigger you are, the more impatient you are!" Yu Yaofang kicked Lin Ke and scolded her. Lin Ke pouted, "Sister Tian, say it quickly, I won't talk anymore."

"This is a flattering way," Li Tian continued with a smile: "The play is about the daughter of a winemaker named Yao Yutang, who saved a poor and dying scholar. The two fell in love with each other. This scholar loved good wine the most. The Yutang girl was dedicated to brewing the best wine for the scholar. Later, the scholar went to Beijing to take the exam. Yao Yutang's parents forced her to marry, and Yao Yutang jumped into the river and died. Later, the scholar was a scholar and came back to marry him. Who knew that Yao Yutang was dead and only left him a few jars of good wine. The scholar was heartbroken and named this wine Yutangchun to send his sorrow.

"Yutangchun? Isn't that the signature wine of your Qianchunfang? Oh! I see, this story is really sad! But this competition depends on good wine. No matter how good this play is, people will not feel that the wine is good because they see your play. This is two different things. Lin Ke spread out his hand, and Yu Yaofang also nodded and echoed, "I also think so. I'm afraid of spending money for nothing. After all, this story is very tacky."

"Which miscellaneous drama is not vulgar? They are all talented and beautiful people. It depends on how to write it. Let me ask you, when did the business of Fanlou get better and become one of the largest hotels in our capital? Li Tian looked at Lin Ke and Yu Yaofang and asked. Yu Yaofang was only stunned for a moment and gently patted her hand. If she had any understanding, Lin Ke replied with a slight smile, "It's just since their young master met the current young grandmother in Fanlou and made a marriage."

"Yes, the two met by chance in the hotel and later became a good couple. Then Fanlou's business suddenly improved. Many people went to watch the bustle. Even we didn't go to see it a few times under the flower rack where the young owner met the young grandmother on the narrow road." Li Tian laughed and said, Lin Ke raised a finger and pressed her forehead for a moment and thought about it, "You said this last time. That's also because Fanlou's decoration, wine and dishes, etc. are all top products. When people come, you can keep it. How can't your Yutang spring wine be good at the Liuxia of Qingfenglou?"

"Who said that Yutang Spring is not as good as Liuxia!" Yu Yaofang kicked Lin Ke with a trace of anger. Lin Ke quickly defended, "My mother said, my mother said, how can Qianchunfang compare with Qingfeng Tower? It must be good to say that Qingfeng Tower is the property of the fifth prince's family. Yu Yaofang rolled her eyes speechlessly and simply ignored her. Li Tian pushed Lin Ke with a smile and said, "We don't drink, and your mother doesn't drink. In fact, it's all about whether it's good or not. Anyway, I don't care about that little money. Since the shopkeepers said it's okay, just let them try. Even if they can't compete for the first place, it's nothing. It's not a bad thing."

"That's true," Lin Ke said half a sentence and remembered other lively things: "You know, Duke Wen bought a lot of reading posts and sent them to my family. I heard my mother..."

"Did your mother tell you this?" Yu Yaofang interrupted Lin Ke and shouted, "You eavesdropped, didn't you?"

"Of course, such things are eavesdropped!" Lin Ke said confidently, "Big brother, second brother and me, talk to my mother. If you say something well, you have to drive me away. Of course, I have to listen to it. Let me tell you, what I heard is very interesting. The eldest brother said that Duke Wen is obsessed with Yao Xianxian. He spent thousands of silver for her and borrowed 2,000 taels of silver from my eldest brother. I didn't return it."

"That Duke of Wen is really disgusting!" Yu Yaofang waved her veil with disgusted. Lin Ke nodded in favor and said, "No, the most disgusting thing in the capital is him. He is so old and remembers the teenage lady all day long. How many concubines are there in his house? It's piled up, remembering this and that. The eldest princess is so good that she doesn't care about him!"

A trace of coldness flashed in Li Tian's eyes, and the eldest princess really deserves a word 'good'!

"Look at you, where did you say it again? Let's talk about the cost of thousands of silver." Yu Yaofang kicked Lin Ke, and Lin Ke repeatedly kicked back and said anxiously, "Obviously, it's you for the other! Don't interrupt me! My eldest brother said that Duke Wen spent thousands of silver, but he didn't win a trip. Yao Xianxian didn't know where he was locked up in order to arrange this play. He didn't show up for more than half a month. Duke Wen didn't know how many times he had been, and he didn't even see the figure. My eldest brother said that Duke Wen was crazy about Yao Xianxian. This time he heard about this The miscellaneous drama was to be performed in the Wazi of the Sang family, but it cost thousands of silver to attract people everywhere to support Yao Xianxian, alas!" Lin Ke thought of another big event: "This play was arranged by Sister Tian, and we should also spend some money to support it."

"Don't hold it. There was no seat at noon yesterday." Li Tian smiled and said, and Yu Yaofang looked at Li Tian in surprise and said, "There are still three or four days left for the performance. Is there no seat here? There are so many rich people in this capital.

"Well, it depends on how this performance is."

"It must be good!" Lin Ke said with great certainty, "What's wrong with Sister Tian!?"

"We don't care about these business matters. There are shopkeepers, Tianer, will you go to Yingxiangchi's release method? My mother's body is getting worse and worse day by day. I want to put a few fish and a few turtles to pray for my mother. Yu Yaofang looked at Li Tian and changed the topic. Li Tian nodded quickly and said, "I'll also go, release my grandmother, and pray for myself."

"It's a blessing for your marriage!" Lin Ke corrected, "Tiantian, your marriage is a big deal."

"I know." Li Tian sighed angrily, and the three of them gossiped for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke left.

Yutangchun's premiere was very sensational. Of course, the play is good, and the male and female actors are also good, but the best is the people who watch the play. The Duke of Wen has made a lot of money. All the children of the Gaomen Wang family in the capital have moved here. The fifth prince is famous for being able to play in the capital. Naturally, he can't live without him. There are luxury cars and handsome horses outside the peony shed. It became slippery, competing for luxury, and the shed was lively. The shed was full of foreign ministers, minions and drivers, and it was even more noisy. The noisy Sang family tiles were as lively as the Spring Festival.

Wu Chenglin, Duke of Wen, tried his best and finally got Yao Xianxian's smiling face behind the stage. He said good words with him for a long time before sending him out. Wu Chenglin shook a folding fan, got into the car in a comfortable mood, and waved to the stew manager who was in a hurry to report something.

stewor Dai got into the car, knelt down in a corner stiffly, and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you must have seen that this play is for the Yutang Spring Wine from Qianchunfang." Wen Guogong's happy folding fan suddenly stopped. He only stared at Yao Xianxian and thought about good things, but he didn't care much about what the miscellaneous play was about. However, when stewler Dai said so, what he really remembered was wine. The wine brewed by Xianxian was not Yutangchun!

"Yes, yes, yes! I will say that you do things carefully, and then continue to say!" When the Duke of Wen reacted, he closed the folding fan and praised the steward Dai. The steward Dai hugged his waist and continued, "It took a lot of thought and spent a lot of money. My ancestors have ordered me to help this wine competition. Lord, do you think, shall we continue to spend money to help?"

"Help! Of course you have to help!" When it comes to silver, Duke Wen's brain is immediately very active. Since the Spring Festival, his luck can't be better. He is worried about the use of silver, and this opportunity has come!

"I have known for a long time that this play has something to do with the competition of wine. Why didn't I spend money to support her? This group didn't help half of the reason. Besides, it looks like it's our winery. We're helping ourselves. We have to go back quickly. We have to talk to our ancestors about this matter, and then pay some money to come out. If we don't go to Fanlou, go back and tell our ancestors!"

Yutangchun moved to the largest elephant shed performance of the Sang family's tile from the next day, and the price was also reduced by more than half from eleven or two people. There were many people like the shed, so this seat was divided. The first class sat five taels of silver for one person, and the last class only cost 100 yuan. As soon as the price came out, the first five days of seats were not divided into first and last, and only half. I ordered a clean one.

Yuan Xiucai pushed a bag of silver tickets in front of the shopkeeper Wang and easily dusted his clothes and said, "It's finally live up to your trust. If you play like this for another 20 days, your master's money can be earned back, and you will earn it all in the future!" The shopkeeper Wang pushed the silver ticket in front of Yuan Xiucai and smiled and said, "I was about to tell you about this, and you also know that our owner wants this miscellaneous play. As long as this play can be popular, our owner said, please share it to everyone."

"This is not a small amount!" Yuan Xiucai stared at the shopkeeper Wang with round eyes and disbelief. The shopkeeper Wang smiled and didn't say anything, but pushed the burden to Yuan Xiucai again. Yuan Xiucai slowly reached out and pressed his hand on the bag and was stiff all over for a long time. Suddenly, he patted the bag heavily and said, "Your owner is admirable. I'm stingy. Well, I'm not polite. In this play, the book accounts for three success, and the two protagonists account for five successes. I take 30% of this silver, and one of the fiber and Erlang is 20 per cent. Five, the remaining 20% will be distributed to everyone!"

"Mr. is extremely fair!" Shopkeeper Wang smiled and flattered. Yuan Xiucai hesitated and turned his head to look at Shopkeeper Wang and said, "I hope the shopkeeper Wang can complete something."

"Sir, please speak."

"These two-five silver is not a small amount. Erlang is fine. He has redeemed himself for himself. The silver he got is his own, but the slender deed is still in other people's hands. Alas, after this scene, it is even more difficult for her to redeem herself... After saying that, I want to quietly give this silver to Xianxian and let her keep it. If so, you can't talk about the money.

"Only you and I know this, and our owner knows it. Don't worry, sir, Lao Wang is not a talkative person." Wang's shopkeeper simply responded. Yuan Xiucai didn't say this, but he also wanted to say it. The owner had told him that the money must be secretly sent to Yao Xianxian and Tuesday Lang. Yuan Xiucai said it first and saved trouble.
