Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 80

    Emperor Zheng Yuan was taken aback for a moment, the little guy had already walked a long way.

    He hurriedly called the guard, followed Gu Ye, and asked the guard what Gu Ye was doing today, why does he seem to be very worried?

    What does such an older child do in the theater early in the morning?

    Emperor Zheng Yuan nodded. Although he was puzzled, he kept walking. People had followed Gu Ye to the door of the bookstore.

      He was happy.

    Although Gu Ye didn’t dress very richly, but the guy was used to seeing the customers in the neighborhood who were dressed in ordinary clothes but had rich families, so he gallantly stepped forward and greeted: “Little Master, what do you want to buy? The shop has A new book of words.”

    Emperor Zheng Yuan came in and frowned in disapproval when he heard the words.

    How come you recommend a storybook? The recommended point is to read the serious book.

    Of course, Emperor Zheng Yuan, who didn’t have much ink in his stomach, didn’t know what a serious book was.

    “I don’t want those,” Gu Ye shook his head and asked him, “Do you have any playbooks?”

    The guy was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, “No, the shop doesn’t have those.”

    Gu Ye didn’t stop, and changed to the next one as soon as his toes turned.

    After searching for two more, Gu Ye came out empty-handed.

    After he came out, he didn’t leave, turned his head and walked directly to Emperor Zhengyuan, “What have you been following me?”

    It was quite alert, Emperor Zhengyuan smiled and said, “Guess why I follow you?”

    Gu Ye looked at him, “You want to work for me.”

    “Huh?”

    Gu Ye thought for a while, then said: “The first time you met me outside the bookstore, you have been following me since then. We have never known each other, what are you doing with me? You should have heard me ask. Dude’s conversation, you know that I want to find someone to write a storybook, so you want to recommend yourself to me, right?”

    As for why he just followed and didn’t speak. Gu Ye thought that he wanted to bump himself into the wall more, knowing that people who wrote the script were hard to find, and then used this to raise his price.

    “Can you really write it?” Although I knew that the other party might be eloquent, but I was busy for a long time, and I really couldn’t find a useful person. If the person in front of me really has the ability, he I don’t mind paying a little more money.

    Although I don’t know how the little guy thinks like this, it is naturally good to be able to catch up.

    So Emperor Zhengyuan said, “I can.”

    “You wrote it before?” Gu Ye gestured to him, and the two found a nearby tea stall and sat down to talk slowly.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan said: “I haven’t written it, but I will write it well, and I won’t charge you money in advance. You can give me money when I hand over the playbook.”

    Gu Ye nodded, thinking that this person is open and bright, anyway, I can’t find anyone else for the time being, so let him try. The story of his drama outline is not particularly novel, it is just a story of changing the soup but not the medicine, and there is no need to hide it like a treasure, worrying about being plagiarized.

    He showed the outline of the story to Emperor Zheng Yuan.

    There are only a few pages in total. Emperor Zhengyuan read it quickly, and he felt helpless after reading it.

    “How can I write?”

    “Yes.” Emperor Zheng Yuan said daringly.

    “You have to write this emperor well, do you know that?”

    Emperor Zheng Yuan nodded again.

    After that, Gu Ye made an appointment with him to meet here three days later, and the two separated.

    The expected father and son reconciliation did not happen, but he, the emperor, personally wrote the story of the romantic emperor to his son?

    It’s so weird!

    But he agreed, he said all the big things, and he could only do it well.

    Changed back to his regular clothes, and Emperor Zhengyuan asked people to invite the lecturer and bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to come over.

      A close minister of the Son of Heaven.

    However, it has been more than half a year since Emperor Zhengyuan ascended the throne, and he has never recruited a Hanlin scholar into the palace, but when drafting documents, he will be directly passed on orally.

    This recruitment of people into the palace naturally lifted the spirits of all the scholars of the Hanlin Academy.

    The two masters of the Master Academy have the best knowledge and the most articulate speech.

    At the end, he thought about it again and added Mr. Wen.

    Master Wen’s knowledge is of course not bad, but he is a little dull and his love is more sincere. In the old dynasty, he was not very popular with the deposed emperor, and the number of times he entered the palace was very limited. .

      As for whether it can be done this time, it depends on Master Wen’s own fortune.

    The three of them soon entered the palace. Emperor Zhengyuan was waiting for them. When they saw them, they waved their hands and said, “You don’t need to be too polite, I have something to ask you for help.”

    The three of them “don’t dare”, they still bowed and asked what to do.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan would not go around in circles, and straight to the point: “I have come across a story here, and I would like to ask you to help me write it.”

    The three of them looked at each other in dismay, but they didn’t expect the new dynasty to enter the palace to write the script for the new emperor.

      The best of the best.

    It is really overkill to let such a pillar of the country do such a job.

    Fortunately, Emperor Zhengyuan had already thought about his words, and after a light cough, he continued: “This is the Queen Mother’s birthday soon, her old man loves to listen to the play, and she went there before. After a trip to the auspicious theater on Taibai Street, I regretted that the content of the opera was not good enough. That’s why I…”

    This is a little funny thing and the word filial piety, and suddenly it makes sense.

    As for why the play also rewrites the real Shiweitian restaurant in the capital, it can naturally be said to be the meaning of the queen mother.

    “The old man and the British lady-in-law hit it off at first sight, and she loves the restaurant of the British public mansion. I just thought of putting this restaurant in there and complimenting her. She must be happy!”

    Master Wen and the others were no longer surprised, and asked carefully what drama Emperor Zhengyuan was going to write.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan showed them the seat, and then told the three of Gu Ye the outline of the play.

    After finishing speaking, the three people’s reaction was the same as that of Emperor Zheng Yuan in the morning, and they were speechless.

    In the end, Mr. Wen said: “In order to make the Queen Mother happy, His Majesty did not hesitate to write such a story of an emperor and a widow, and I admire it.”

    The other two also responded one after another, saying that Emperor Zhengyuan was extremely filial, and that ancient Caiyi was nothing more than entertaining relatives.

    The first three people divided their tasks, and each wrote a paragraph.

    After the discussion, Emperor Zhengyuan sent someone to send them away, and he did not forget to remind: “I don’t want others to know about this matter. After all, I want to surprise the queen mother.”

    Of course, the more people know about it, the more shameless it is!

    Master Wen, they should be.

    All of them are bachelors from the serious imperial examinations, and if they are placed outside, they are all No. 1 figures. Even if Emperor Zhengyuan didn’t say it, they wouldn’t publicize it. Although it was a filial piety to the Queen Mother, it was a bit of a loss.

    At the end, Emperor Zhengyuan took a special look at Mr. Wen.

    Since the arrival of Mrs. Wen, he has greatly shared the pressure of Emperor Zheng Yuan’s handling of government affairs. He still likes the Wen family very much.

    It’s just that his own father helped him so much, but he fooled his eldest son to write a playbook, which made Emperor Zhengyuan feel very uncomfortable.

    Master Wen noticed it and immediately said: “Your Majesty, rest assured, Wei Chen will not tell my father.”

    Mr. Wen is very disciplined, and when the former master Wen Er brought Gu Ye to the casino let him know, he grabbed the bench at home and chased after Master Wen Er.

    Mr. Wen Er was forced to climb the big tree in the yard.

    Master Wen is so old that he is afraid that his father will be angry, but he dare not tell him.

    “Okay!” Emperor Zhengyuan looked at him admiringly, thinking that whoever said that Mr. Wen is not as good as his father is obviously a smart person!

    Three days later, Emperor Zhengyuan and Gu Ye met again and took out the playbook.

    Gu Ye glanced at it, his expression solemn.

    The play book Zheng Yuandi didn’t read carefully. He didn’t listen to the play very much, and it didn’t work very well, but he thought it was written by the Hanlin bachelor, it must be good, so he was very confident Yes, seeing him like this is a little uneasy, I wonder if this kid has such a high vision?

    After a while, Gu Ye closed the playbook and said with him, “I have to take it back and read it for details. Of course, I won’t take it for nothing. I can pay part of the deposit first.”

    Emperor Zheng Yuan did not disapprove, of course, it would be better if he couldn’t do it once, so he could get in touch with him a few more times!

    Gu Ye asked him tentatively, “I’ll give you five taels first, will it work?”

    Of course, Emperor Zheng Yuan didn’t care about money, so he nodded and said, “Yes. Then I will come here to wait for you in three days.”

    Gu Ye jumped off the bench with a smile, and generously took out a few pennies and put them on the table, “I’ll pay for today’s tea.”

    Putting the playbook, Gu Ye trotted to Shiweitian.

    The morning market is the busiest time for Gu Yin. Although the opening time is still short, the number of customers who want to eat her dim sum is gradually increasing.

    She just finished her work when she heard that Gu Ye was looking for her, took off her apron and put down her sleeves and came out.

    “Mother, help me take a look!” Gu Ye shoved the playbook into her arms, “What do you think?”

    Gu Yin dried her hands before opening it to take a closer look.

    Although she hasn’t heard much of drama, in modern times, she also read a few romance novels when she was a student.

    But at first glance, people who don’t watch dramas or novels are attracted by her.

    Several characters in the play are vividly portrayed, and the plot has also been sorted out.

    Why did the emperor live in the countryside? He had not yet ascended the throne at that time. . That’s why I met the little widow.

    Why did the little widow have a dewy relationship with the emperor she met for the first time? It’s not that she is naturally rambunctious, but that there is a sister-in-law in her family who can’t tolerate her, and she deliberately gave her medicine and wanted to send her to her. Work as a concubine for an old man in the town.

    She tried her best to escape from the old staff. Because of the medicinal properties, she had a transgressive behavior with the emperor.

    Because the emperor became sensitive and suspicious after experiencing the incident where his brother was almost killed.

    The reason why the little widow did not explain is that the emperor already has a harem beauties, and he obviously has someone else, but he suspects her, so he is so deliberately angry with him.

    Although the logic of the two people torturing each other is still unreasonable for Gu Yin, but after all, it is a bit of harmony, not misunderstanding for the sake of misunderstanding.

    The most rare thing is that there are a lot of scenes in the restaurant in this playbook, and there are scenes in which the emperor praised his own food.

    Especially the part of writing about their own spicy hot pot, it seems that the person who wrote the play has eaten it himself and really loves it. Repeated, but also praised to the point!

    “It’s pretty good.” After reading it, Gu Yin carefully tasted the aria, “How much money did you spend?”

    Gu Ye stretched out a small slap and compared “five”, “Five taels are paid first, and then you should make five taels later.”

    Since it is within the budget, the price is not much more expensive than the conventional, ordinary aria.

    Gu Yin didn’t say anything, returned the trick book to him and asked him, “Have you seen it to Brother Xiaofeng? What did he say?”

    Gu Ye ran to the counter, poured a bowl of hot tea, drank it, and wiped his mouth: “No, I don’t know so many words, in case the nonsense of writing is unreasonable. , I’ll show it to Brother Xiaofeng, I don’t have to make him laugh at me.”

    Yes, co-authoring himself is a literate person, helping him to pass the first pass.

    Gu Yin smiled and said: “You don’t know how people wrote it, you paid a deposit of five taels first.

    Gu Ye scratched his head and said there was nothing he could do, “I couldn’t say at the time that I didn’t know how to read, so I won’t pay you the money first.” He added, “It’s my fault that I missed it, I should have known it earlier. I went with our little servant. Fortunately, my mother said it was available, so I didn’t lose money. It’s really harmful to have no ink in my stomach!”

    The boy followed Gu Ye before, but he went to the casino and was fined, and the boy was also punished.

    Gu Ye didn’t want anyone to follow him, so he didn’t have to turn around and he was irritating others.

    At that time, he was familiar with Beijing, and he was helping his own restaurant later, so Gu Yin went with him.

    After speaking, Gu Yin went to the back kitchen to work, and Gu Ye went to Jixiang Theater.

    The playbook was in Brother Xiaofeng’s hands. Unlike a layman like Gu Yin, Brother Xiaofeng’s eyes were straight.

    “This aria, this rhetoric…” He stood up abruptly, put the words book, closed the door first, and then asked Gu Ye, “Where did you get it?”

    Seeing his reaction so big, Gu Ye was surprised, but he didn’t show it on his face, he just said: “I hired someone to write it, what do you just say?”

    Brother Xiaofeng was so excited that his eyes were red, “Good! Good! Good!”

    He said three “yes” in a row, Gu Ye couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked, “Is it really as good as you said?”

      It’s a cowardly tone… Well, it’s good anyway, I can’t say it’s good.”

    He said so, and Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, “Then shall we start lining up a year ago or a year later?”

    “This…is this for my troupe?” Brother Xiaofeng became more and more excited.

    Gu Ye said yes, “Didn’t we agree, I am in charge of the new book, and you are in charge of the rehearsal.”

    Brother Xiaofeng touched the playbook again, and finally closed his eyes and pushed the playbook in front of Gu Ye cruelly, “We are friends, I can’t lie to you. This book is the best book I have ever seen in my life. Alright, sing for my little troupe, it’s really… it’s a bit humiliating.”

    Gu Ye didn’t smile anymore, and said seriously: “Is it really that good?”

    Brother Xiaofeng nodded and said, “This playbook is sold outside, so don’t talk like that.”

    He compared five, Gu Ye was surprised: “Fifty taels?”

    “It’s five hundred taels!” Brother Xiaofeng said sadly, “So I can’t lie to you. If it’s a book of fifty taels, even if I spend money to buy it with you, I will buy it.”

    Gu Ye scratched his head, “We are friends, I will not hide it from you, I ordered this book for five taels of silver,”

    “How come?” Brother Xiaofeng exclaimed. Isn’t this the same as picking up gold on the street?

    “I’ve always had good luck.” Gu Ye thought about it, and then said: “But a book worth five hundred taels only gives people five or ten taels, which is really not kind. This playbook If you keep it, I will sing to you, I will discuss with that person about the money.”

    “Okay!” Brother Xiaofeng no longer refused, and immediately assured: “I will urge everyone to arrange well, and it will be performed this month!”

    …

      situation.

    The two ate and lived together like brothers in the past, chatting alone, Wu Qingyi didn’t think too much, and immediately said: “It’s all good, since my mother and the others came, my father I’ve changed a person, and I’m no longer depressed. My mother accompanies my mother to exercise in the yard every day, and my master is surprised, saying that I won’t need crutches in two months.”

    “My wife is a thinker.” Speaking of Gu Yin, Wu Qingyi’s solemn face showed a rare tenderness, “She opened a restaurant on Taibai Street, where she is every day. Just wait. Although it has just opened, business is booming every day…”

    “And there are two children at home.”

    Emperor Zheng Yuan corrected his expression, and finally heard what he wanted to hear.

    There was a smile in Wu Qingyi’s eyes, “Although my younger brother is only seven years old, he has already read books for two years, all thanks to my wife, she was in the town for food business. , not only support her and my mother, but also support my family Wu An.”

    Emperor Zheng Yuan:…

    If it hadn’t been with Wu Qingyi for many years, he would have suspected him of deliberately going around in circles.

    Although Wu Qingyi didn’t say anything strange, but this one is “my wife”, the taste is indescribable.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan, who had goose bumps, silently condemned him with his eyes.

    “And then there’s Ono,” Wu Qingyi shook his head helplessly, “This child is very eccentric.” After speaking, he paused and explained: “This child is my wife in town. Adopted, our whole family treats it as our own child.”

    Although the family will never mention Gu Ye’s adoption, but his age doesn’t match the time he left home.

    In order to prevent others from making bad guesses about Gu Yin, Wu Qingyi still told the truth.

    He didn’t hide it, and Emperor Zhengyuan also planned to open the skylight to him, and directly said that he thought Gu Ye was his lost eldest son.

    Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wu Qingyi and then laughed: “This child didn’t like to see me very much before, but now we get along, and finally have some feelings. Fight with me every morning, etc. I’m on duty, I’ll ride a horse together for a while, and sometimes I’ll go to the front yard to sleep with me.”

    Emperor Zheng Yuan was dying of soreness, and said coolly, “Then your relationship is not bad.”

    Wu Qingyi said that was not the case, and sighed: “This child still refuses to call me ‘father’, one after another ‘uncle’, and I don’t know when I can change my tune.”

    Emperor Zheng Yuan laughed immediately, thinking that you can’t wait!

    However, laughing and laughing, sour and sour, Zhengyuan Emperor still knew from Wu Qingyi’s mouth that their family liked and valued Gu Ye.

    Suddenly told people that Gu Ye was his own child, but he just had no evidence and could not produce evidence, as if he was robbing someone else’s treasure for nothing.

    It also happened that the palace staff came to report, saying that the little prince Lu Zhao was not very good, and Queen Zhou made a big move and scolded the imperial doctors.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan’s eyes dimmed.

    Let’s not talk about it first, this family is not looking good, and the British government will not be able to live the first reunion year of the new dynasty.

    After another day, Emperor Zheng Yuan went out of the palace in micro-clothing.

    Because of the Kunning Palace incident the day before, Emperor Zhengyuan was in a bad mood.

    The little prince Lu Zhao is nothing serious, just because he has just recovered, he has no appetite.

    But it’s not that I don’t eat it at all, it’s just that I eat less than usual.

    For no reason, Queen Zhou blamed the imperial physician for his poor medical skills.

    It’s still Emperor Yuan who comes forward.

    As soon as he walked near the tea stall, Gu Ye greeted him with a smile, “Why did you come here? Can you teach me to wait, have you eaten the morning meal?”

    Seeing his bright smiling face, the haze in Emperor Zhengyuan’s heart immediately dissipated, he smiled and said it was useless.

    Gu Ye took his hand affectionately, “I know that there is a family of Hu spicy soup that is very delicious, I will invite my uncle to drink it!”

    One big and one small went to the small restaurant selling Hu spicy soup, it was full of people.

    Gu Ye asked him to wait outside and queued up by himself.

    Because of his young age and sweet mouth, he really made a guest who was not in a hurry give him the team position.

    Not long after, he came out with two bowls of Hu spicy soup.

    It was impossible to sit inside, so the two of them squatted under the porch to drink.

    “Delicious!” Zheng Yuandi praised sincerely.

    The Hu spicy soup has a strong taste, the soup is thick, sour and spicy, and the taste is second. It is rare that the little guy bought it for him.

    Gu Ye smiled and watched him drink, and then he snorted and took a big gulp.

    “Am I right? But my mother said that he can do it too, and it will be launched in our own restaurant soon. The taste will definitely be better. I will invite my uncle to drink better. “

    Emperor Zheng Yuan was thinking about the script before, so he and Gu Ye have nothing to do with each other, and he will have to wait until the end of the year to recognize him as the royal family before he can get along with him. Although it was only a matter of months, in fact, he was still a little lost in his heart.

    Hearing this, he couldn’t help laughing and said: “You young boss is rich, you just invite everyone to eat and drink, aren’t you afraid that your restaurant will lose money?”

    Gu Ye smiled disapprovingly, “It’s naturally impossible for others. But Uncle is different. I’ve heard a word by chance before, called ‘at first sight’, I don’t know if it’s the right one. .Although we have known each other for a short time, I just look at you so lovable!”

    This makes Emperor Yuan’s eyes warm!

    The former Wu Qingyi said that after getting along with Gu Ye for a few months, it was only after a few months that he had developed some feelings, and let this kid be a “uncle”.

    What’s the explanation? It’s the power of blood!
