Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 98

    Wu Qingyi was “scared” by her mother’s cooking skills, and went to the front yard with a wind under her feet.

    Because it was sent by Wu Qingyi himself, the officials sold him face, and the efficiency was scary, and the result of the trial came out the same day.

      Dare to identify.

    Because things didn’t work out, the two were only sentenced to one year in prison. The small butler was put back due to insufficient evidence.

    Nowadays, if there is a lack of a flower actress, and a garden owner who can coordinate everything, naturally this drama cannot be sung.

    The auspicious theater began to refund tickets on the same day, so the spectators naturally had to inquire about what happened.

      It is also said that the people in the auspicious theater are good at witchcraft, not using poison, but using witchcraft to harm people.

    There are rumors everywhere, and there is no way to refute them.

    But whether it is poison or witchcraft, people of this era are extremely taboo and dare not contaminate it.

    With the auspicious theater of “The Merry” and “Kindness”, the door was deserted for a while, and no one came.

    But fortunately, Shiweitian was not affected by this incident, because everyone also found out that this incident was reported by Shiweitian’s owner.

    Not to mention how many meals they have eaten before, knowing that the food here is absolutely fine, just by looking at the owner’s eyesight, you know that no one dares to make a fool of yourself.

    But there is no real-time publicity in the end, and there is a Wangtianlou on the same street who does not hesitate to hurt people, and the business of eating for the sky has fallen a lot.

    Fortunately, the only light food restaurant in Beijing is still booming, with many fans, and the restaurant business will not be deserted.

    The Light Food Yashe on the third floor was opened a few years ago, and the fourth and fifth floors are still empty. It is time to tinker with something new.

    Gu Yin is no longer satisfied with the food business, the guest room massage department has developed, and the fourth and fifth floors can also be used for other purposes.

    As soon as the mind diverges, it becomes even more difficult.

    This day, Brother Xiaofeng went to Shiweitian first. After hearing from the shopkeeper Zhou that Gu Yin was not there, he went to the British government to ask for a meeting.

    He is a very polite and cautious temperament, conscious of his low status, and will not come over for anything.

    Gu Yin heard the report from the concierge, so she invited someone over.

    The door he entered with his front foot, Gu Ye came back with his back foot.

    At the end of the first month, the weather has officially warmed up, and even the big boats of Gu’s boats have gone to sea, but Gu Ye still wears very thick, leather hats and jackets, the whole person Looks like a furry bear.

    Entering the room, Gu Ye took off his hat and jacket, and while shouting hot, he stretched his tongue out like a puppy and breathed straight.

    Gu Yin was not surprised, she had prepared warm tea for him.

    Gu Ye finished drinking it, smacking his lips reluctantly: “This warm tea is still not strong, I want to drink the sour plum soup made by my mother.”

    Gu Yin smiled and said, “It’s only been a few months, where did you get the plums? Otherwise, why don’t we wear less?”

    The child is hot, Gu Ye is restless and sweats more than the average child.

    The clothes that I change every day smell of sweat, Gu Yinsheng is afraid that he will get prickly heat.

    Gu Ye shook his head and sighed, saying, “It’ll be really warm right away, and then it’ll be fine.”

    Gu Yin is not a parent who pays attention to spring and autumn frost. She thinks that she can wear whatever clothes are in any season.

    Gu Ye wears it like this because the current jacket and hat are made by Queen Zhou.

    She pays attention to those things in raising children. Since she admitted to the retrospective, when she helped her younger son to prepare things, she also helped Gu Ye to prepare a set.

    She made the jacket and hat herself, and Gu Ye took it and prepared to wear it next year.

    She was meticulous towards her younger son, and towards Gu Ye, she consciously owed him, and was cautious, for fear that she did something wrong.

    The two characters seem to have lost their size.

    Gu Ye felt guilty when she saw what she was asking, afraid that she would cry, so he coaxed her like a child: “It’s all good, it’s just new clothes, you have to go through the water before getting up. Soft, I’ll wear it tomorrow!”

    The Queen of Zhou thought that it was such a reason, and then she became happy again.

    In front of Brother Xiaofeng, it is difficult to elaborate on this matter, so both mother and son will not mention it.

    Gu Yin wiped Gu Ye’s sweat with a handkerchief, while Gu Ye obediently allowed her to wipe his sweat, Gu Ye asked Brother Xiaofeng, “Did you come to see me today? I’m busy with some things, so I didn’t see you.”

    Early February is the big day for Gu Yeding to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestry.

    At that time, Gu Ye will not only appear in front of the ministers, but also follow Emperor Zhengyuan to the Taimiao to pay tribute to his ancestors as the eldest son of the emperor.

    There can be no mistakes in the etiquette and the process, and they all need to be practiced in advance.

    Gu Ye is still taking classes as usual these days, and he is busy with the final exercise in the afternoon.

    Brother Xiaofeng nodded, shook his head again, and said, “I’m here to see you and to say goodbye.”

    Gu Ye stopped laughing and asked seriously, “Why are you leaving, where are you going?”

    Brother Xiaofeng explained: “The gate of the auspicious opera garden is deserted, and the people of the garden’s opera troupe are blamed on me, and the rest of our opera troupe will not be allowed to take the stage again. These two days I asked other gardens, and they all refused because they didn’t want to cause trouble. So I thought, why don’t I go back to Jingu.”

    The only one that his grass stage team can do is him and the Huadan. Now he can’t sing, Huadan is in prison, and it is impossible for others to stand up in the capital.

    “Why are you going back?” Gu Ye then asked, “Do you want to go back?”

    Brother Xiaofeng certainly didn’t want to. It was because he couldn’t survive there, so he took all his belongings to the capital to make a foray.

    In the capital, he has a friend like Gu Ye, and he has made some famous names in front of him.

    But everything in the capital is expensive, and he doesn’t know if he will be able to go on stage again in the future, and he dare not spend all his money on the cultivation period.

    That’s why I thought about going back to Jingu, where the price is lower.

    Gu Ye looked at him embarrassed, didn’t ask any further questions, and instead asked how he planned to make a living after returning.

    Brother Xiaofeng smiled wryly and shook his head, apart from singing, he really has no other ability.

    And it is estimated that soon, his little troupe will also be disbanded.

    So he just said: “Take one step at a time.”

    “Then you can stay in the capital if you don’t sing, our family is short of people.” Gu Ye said and looked at his mother, she knew that Gu Yin was thinking about opening up four The fifth floor thing.

    “No no,” Xiaofeng brother blushed and waved his hands, “I really came to practice, not to ask for errands. I know myself, although I am not young, but I can’t carry it on my shoulders. , I can’t lift it by hand, it’s not good to rely on friendship like this.”

    Brother Xiaofeng bowed his hands to Gu Ye and Gu Yin and apologized: “I still want to say sorry, then “Kindness” is the best book, it didn’t take long to sing It was put on hold, I can’t help it.”

    Gu Yin hurriedly said: “It’s not your fault, it’s because of an unpredictable disaster, and this situation is not what you thought. Let’s talk about it, it’s because you helped us promote it. scourge.”

    Brother Xiaofeng hurriedly said no, it was because he was not careful enough that he almost got caught.

    And Gu Yin felt that he was born with audience affinity. Due to his age, he couldn’t sing Huadan Zhengdan in front of him, and they were all supporting roles.

    But it’s a supporting role that is not very pleasant. After his interpretation, it is very pleasing.

    This kind of thing about audience relationship is mysterious and mysterious, and modern science can’t explain it. It can only be said that Xiaofeng brother is born to eat in front of the table.

    Gu Yinming thought about it for a few days, but did not expect the use of the fourth and fifth floors. After hearing what he said, she had more ideas.

    “You can’t go on stage right now, why don’t you do something else first. Ono is right, I’m going to use people right now.”

    Brother Xiaofeng wanted to reject again, Gu Yin explained: “I don’t want you to work, but to perform other things. Your voice just can’t sing, but everyday speech is not acceptable. Influence. We stopped singing, changed our minds, and made plays. If this is done well, it will be very popular. “

    Brother Xiaofeng certainly doesn’t know any drama, but at this point, if he still shrinks back, he can’t say it anymore, so he nodded and said, “As long as he can solve his livelihood, he must rely on his wife’s urging.”

    Gu Yin let him go back to rest, and by the way asked him if the rest of the troupe would like to switch to a drama with him.

    After deciding this, Gu Yin went to draw the drawings.

    The fifth floor of the topmost floor of Shiweitian is planned as a place for performing dramas, just like a stage.

    Because a part of the fifth floor is used for the backstage, the ticket office cannot be located on the same floor.

    Gu Yin set up the ticket office on the fourth floor – there is also a large bar in front of the fourth floor.

    The big bar also sells popcorn and drinks while selling tickets. Other places on the same floor are not idle, separated into windows to make all kinds of delicious snacks.

    While waiting for the show, you can also spend time here.

    After the drawing was finished, Gu Yin handed it over to the shopkeeper Zhou, who was in charge of the contact person to start the work.

    The most difficult part is, of course, the transition from traditional opera to drama.

    First of all, the script creation, Gu Yinxian invited Master Wen to Shiweitian.

    Master Wen helped polish “Kindness” without asking for money. It was purely out of interest and liking for food.

    Gu Ye didn’t give Mr. Wen any money, but gave him the status of a super VIP, and got a limit of 500 taels on his account, Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen didn’t have to pay when they came to spend The money is debited directly from the account.

    After Mr. Wen arrived, he heard that Gu Yin was going to change the script into a script. He was not impatient, but felt very interested.

    The story is also written, but the script is actually rather obscure.

    If you want to understand the beauty of opera, you must have a certain literary foundation.

    In this era of common white ding, many people listen to the play just to listen to the excitement, but they can’t understand it.

    Just like Gu Yin herself, up to now, she still doesn’t know how to listen to dramas, she is purely a layman watching the fun.

    However, the performance form of Gu Yin’s play adopts the setting of oral language throughout the whole story, from the elderly to the slender children, as long as you can understand people’s words, you can watch Understand.

    But a script and a playbook are two completely different things, more like a storybook, but there are obvious differences. Even for a learned man like Master Wen, it is extremely difficult to realize the transformation from nothing without reference.

    So Gu Yin relied on memory to restore a very classic drama script – “Thunderstorm”, as a blueprint for Master Wen’s reference.

    This is really a drama that Gu Yin is very impressed with. She studied it in textbooks in high school, and then the school held a celebration. The teacher asked their students to write the script on the basis of the text. A textbook play.

    At that time, Gu Yin was appointed by the teacher to play the role of Sifeng because of her appearance.

    At that time, Gu Yin’s family was complete, and it was a carefree moment, so this was a very light part of her youth memory.

    Later, I heard that this drama was staged at the same city’s theater. No matter how busy she was, she would find time to watch the last one.

    Therefore, she is very familiar with the script of this play.

    Of course, she can’t just follow what she wrote now, and she has to make some changes to change the background to the current era.

    After writing it, Master Wen tutted his tongue and praised: “As soon as you write it like this, I will understand. This is really interesting. It is very meticulous about what everyone should do and say. Even an inexperienced actor will not be too outrageous to act according to it. But with such a good book, it is better to play this first, this story is more twists and turns than His Royal Highness’s “Kindness”.”

    Master Wen said it very implicitly. Compared with such masterpieces as “Thunderstorm”, Gu Ye’s story is naturally nothing.

    Gu Yin immediately shook her head and said, “This can’t be done, this drama was not written by me, it is someone else’s story, I just wrote it out to let you understand the format, we want to play it, of course we still play our own. story.”

    Master Wen thought that with Gu Yin’s current identity, she knew where the story was going. Although the script was written by someone else, as long as she liked it, she could buy it with money. Could it be that the other party could just tell her, but not sell it to her?

    But since Gu Yin refused, Master Wen didn’t say anything more, put away the script and said: “Your Highness has only been in class for half a day, I have nothing to do, so I will change it. .”

    Gu Yin thanked her for being so grateful, and sent Master Wen away, then turned around and went to the third floor.

    The business of Qingshi Yashe is still very good, but Gu Yin is really busy at this time, and she can’t take care of it anymore.

    Although Da Sun, who was mentioned on the third floor, is very quick, but she is not good at cooking, and she is not good at talking with Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wen. Many things need Gu Yin Do it yourself.

    Now there is no need to worry about these, Gu Yinxin has a right-hand man – Ge Zhuer.

    Gezhuer became a free body after he got the book of He Li.

    The second elder of the Ge family also has an excellent stall on the wharf of Hanshan Town. With Ge Zhuer’s craftsmanship, she will naturally be able to do a good job when she returns. Maybe in a few years, she will be able to work with Gu Yin also used her hands to earn a storefront by herself.

    But Feng Yu is still in the capital, so she and the second old must be uneasy.

    So after the discussion, the old couple from the Ge family went back to Hanshan Town to sell their stalls, then packed up their belongings, and the whole family settled in the capital.

      shop.

    The parents are getting old, and Ge Zhuer is not the kind of person who depends on them, so she decided to find a job to do before they come again.

    Gu Yin immediately handed over an olive branch and hired Ge Zhuer as the deputy shopkeeper of Light Food Yashe.

    Don’t look at the Qin family so much to look down on Ge Zhu’er’s daughter-in-law, in fact, Ge Zhu’er is already much better than the average person.

    She is very good at cooking, and she is very smart and transparent.

    And there have been rumors about the British government, after Ge Zhuer arrived, she was not ashamed of her past, and she did not hide it generously.

    The wife of the rich family is well-informed, and after a little inquiries, she knows that she is the former lady of the country who was arranged in the rumors.

    She is now working in food for the sky, and Gu Yin is as good as one person, the rumors will naturally be broken, and no one will worry about the words spoken in Yasheli being spread out.

    Gu Yin didn’t let Ge Zhuer break any rumors, she really loved and cherished talent.

    Gu Yin made the desserts on the third floor, and then the professor gave them to other chefs in the restaurant.

    But these desserts and other things, although they do not require top cooking skills, they are very exquisite.

    The shopkeeper Zhou and the other two cooks are rough people, and the desserts they make are always a little less interesting than those made by Gu Yin.

    Such as Gu Yin recently launched sachima, that is, ordinary flour is beaten into eggs, stirred and mixed evenly, and then formed into a dough. Pan fry until cooked through. Then add sugar and syrup to another pot, boil the viscous sugar liquid, pour the noodles into the sugar liquid, remove from the fire and pour into the square mold, press firmly and cool completely, and cut into squares everywhere.

    For those who are skilled in cooking, the steps are not complicated, but for laymen like Da Sun, who can’t grasp the heat of frying noodles and boiling syrup, it is difficult to succeed.

    Ge Zhuer’s cooking skills are not as good as Zhou and Gu Yin, but the basic skills are far beyond ordinary people.

    When Gu Yin came, Ge Zhuer was talking to Madam Lu and others.

    Mrs. Lu is eating Sachima made by Ge Zhuer.

    Shaqima is golden yellow, and can be drawn when broken, soft and soft, crispy and delicious.

    People who don’t like sweet and greasy food may not accept it, but if you eat it with clear tea, it will be just right and the taste is endless.

    Mrs. Lu is fond of sweets, so she likes this very much. Recently, she has been ordering one almost every day.

    “I just thought you looked sweet and spoke sweetly. I didn’t expect that we Pearl still have a pair of skillful hands, and the things we make are so sweet.” Later, I heard that she had left and was working in food for the sky. She felt a little more pity for her, and said again: “Miss Gu is really annoying, why did I put you away. If I knew that you were looking for a job , I will definitely let you come to my house. Just talking to you every day is comfortable enough.”

    This is true, Ge Zhuer has a gentle aura, no matter how bad-tempered people are, except for the rare ones like Qin Shi, they feel that their anger has subsided by three points in front of her.

    Let her ask and persuade her gently, and the rest of her anger is gone.

    Gezhuer smiled lightly, “My wife likes to talk to me, she often comes to see me. I learn a few more desserts from the owner, and then I will change the pattern every day to make it for my wife, isn’t it? not good?”

    Mrs. Lu said goodbye and laughed along with her.

    Gu Yin came over from this stall and said angrily: “Okay, I’ve only been busy for a few days, now everyone only remembers Sister Pearl, not me, why do I seem to still listen Until someone scolds me?”

    Everyone laughed in unison, covering their lips and looking at Madam Lu.

    Mrs. Lu’s face turned red, but she didn’t know what to do. Instead, she pressed her fists and said: “Who has eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard and dares to scold Mrs. Gu? Come on, put that person up, I will be the first. I can’t spare her.”

    Gu Yin couldn’t hold back, she burst out laughing.

    Everyone laughed and laughed, and soon they were playing together.

    Yuan Xiaoyuan and the others came on stage to perform, Yasheli was quiet, Gu Yin asked Ge Zhuer to rest for a while.

    Ge Zhuer did not go to rest, but followed Gu Yin downstairs.

    Seeing that she was hesitating, Gu Yin asked, “But are you worried about your Ayu?”

    Ge Zhu’er nodded, “I know that A Yu supports me and the general Heli. But he is young, my mother… Then Qin Shi doesn’t really love him, I’m afraid of him Turn your anger on Ah Yu.”

    Gu Yin said: “You can rest assured, your family A Yu…”

    Gu Ye can’t be said yet, but in the next few days, he is going to restore his identity. As his companion, Feng Yu would naturally go to the palace. People who walk in the palace every day can face the saint from time to time. As long as Qin shi is not stupid, he naturally dare not do anything to him.

    So Gu Yin paused and said, “He has great fortune. Just watch it, it’s just a few days.”

    For others, Ge Zhuer would think it was just words of comfort.

    …

    At the beginning of February, with the people of the ocean-going ship line who fled southward from the former dynasty, they were escorted to Beijing.

    The evidence is conclusive and the British government guarantees, so the government and the public have no doubts about Gu Ye’s identity.

    On the day he received the seal, he appeared in front of people wearing an indigo blue nine python robe. Whether it was his manners or manners, he could not pick out a single fault.

    From then on, except for a few masters in the palace, everyone else would respectfully call him “His Royal Highness Lie King”.

    On the same day, an imperial decree was also sent to the Duke of Lu, and Feng Yu officially became the eldest son’s companion.
