Family Has a Concubine

Chapter 133 Watching a Theater (Part 2)

Qiu Jing and Qiu Lang left the garden and went to the kitchen.

The cook was very happy to see such a big bamboo shoot: "We can fry bamboo shoots at noon today."

"Let me fry it!" Qiu Jing said.

"Second master hasn't cooked for a long time, so my aunt and cousin are here today, let them taste your cooking." The cook said with a smile.

A smile flashed in Qiu Jing's eyes, and she took the bamboo shoots and peeled them off.

The cook started, and Qiu Jing started to cook for about an hour. At noon, the food was ready, and the cook quickly asked the maid to pack the dishes one by one in a food box and bring them to the hall.

Qiu Jing went back to her room and changed her clothes. When she walked into the hall, everyone was already seated and the table was set with food. Including Ye Tangcai's mother and daughter, there are only seven people. Since they are all relatives, there is no separate table for men and women.

Da Wen's family saw that several home-cooked dishes were different from the ones cooked by the cook in the past, so they smiled: "Is it Jing'er who cooks today?"

"Yes." Qiu Jing agreed and took a seat beside Da Wen's.

Ye Tangcai and Wen Shi were sitting opposite him, Ye Tangcai saw eight dishes and one soup on the table. Stir-fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots, steamed fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, shredded duck, steamed chicken with red dates, assorted sausages, a stir-fried vegetable, small bamboo shoots and yam pork ribs soup. They are all home-cooked dishes, but they are full of color, flavor and taste.

Wen's family looked at it and laughed: "Brother Jing is really good, he can cook." Then he looked at Da Wen's family: "Sister, it's true, other families teach their sons to read or learn martial arts, and the eldest sister asks to teach cooking. "

Da Wen's groaned: "I told him to study too, but he didn't. He usually works on brewing wine, but he also learned to cook, saying that it would be helpful to brewing wine."

"That's a good idea." Ye Tangcai agreed, "Wine making is also food. Most wine is fermented from grains, fruits and other foods. It's all related to food. My second cousin learned cooking and made food. , it’s a deeper understanding of food that naturally helps winemaking.”

Qiu Jing looked at Ye Tangcai with brighter eyes: "Only my cousin understands me."

Ye Tangcai chuckled, reached out to pick up a piece of bamboo shoot, and took a bite.

"Is it delicious?" Qiu Jing asked.

"Delicious." Ye Tangcai nodded.

Wen's was also full of praise: "If Jing'er doesn't make wine, she can become a chef." Then she smiled at Da Wen's: "Which girl marries Jing'er, she will enjoy endless blessings."

Qiu Jing was very happy to hear Wen's praise.

Da Wen's smiled wryly, and was very worried: "I made arrangements for him to get married four or five years ago, but who knew that he was not willing to do so. The younger sister is in the capital to see which family has a good girl, and help him get along. "

Wen's quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay."

But Qiu Jing said: "Don't be busy, Auntie. I'm improving new wine. It doesn't matter if it's a year or two late."

"Look, that's it." Da Wen sighed helplessly. "Every time I say I want to make wine."

"Then did any good wine come out?" Wen said.

"He is the one who brewed the pine fog wine." Da Wen's face was proud, "If he hadn't brewed the pine fog wine, our Qiu family would not be able to turn over."

Wen's was taken aback, she thought that the Qiu family could turn around because the elder nephew managed it well, but she didn't think it was because of the new wine brewed by the second nephew.

Da Wen's face was a little guilty. In the past, she didn't urge him to get married because the Qiu family needed new wine, and he had that talent, so she let him work. She was afraid of disturbing him, so she let him go. If you say let it go, let it go.

Now he is in his twenties, and other people's children are running around, but he doesn't even have a fiancée.

"This pine mist wine is really good. When I'm hungover, I won't have a headache when I wake up the next day, only a little dizzy." Ye Tangcai said, "When I get back to Dingzhou, my second cousin will send me some jars. "

Seeing her earnest expression, Qiu Jing smiled, "Why is this so difficult?"

After dinner, Ye Tangcai bid farewell to Wen's and Da Wen's, and then left.

Qing'er drove the car out of the alley, and soon entered Daming Street. Ye Tang lifted the curtain and looked out: "Let's go back to East Street, and ask at Tianzi Pavilion, the cloth sent last time is used to make clothes No."

At the beginning of July, Ye Tangcai measured herself and Chu Yunpan, and sent the measurements and fabrics to a tailor shop called Tianzige.

"Okay!" Qing'er turned around while driving the horse.

Hui Ran smiled and said: "How can it be so fast. When I sent it, it seemed that it was the third or fourth day of the seventh month. Now it is the sixteenth day of July, and now the weather is getting colder, and there are many people making clothes. Tianzi Pavilion The business is good, so naturally it will not be produced so quickly. When it was delivered, the shopkeeper said that it would take about July 20th to get out."

Ye Tangcai was secretly disappointed, the weather has been really cold recently, she had to wear an extra thong when going out. But Chu Yunpan still wore those two sets of old shirts, which were so thin that they looked cold.

"Let's go and have a look!" Ye Tangcai's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, there seems to be a bookstore opposite Tianzi Pavilion, so I'll pick up some textbooks along the way.

Ye Tangcai thought of Zhao Yingqi, she loved reading story books just like herself, so she picked some good-looking ones for her.

The carriage drove for a quarter of an hour on the crowded street, and then stopped.

Ye Tangcai and Huiran got out of the car and looked up at the plaque of Tianzi Pavilion. Ye Tangcai walked in, took out the receipt and went to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper is a woman in her forties, dressed in a wealthy manner. She took a look at the receipt and said with a smile: "It's not good yet, my lady, please wait for a few more days."

"Should I get some of them out?" Ye Tangcai said, "I have some men's clothes, have you got them out yet?"

The shopkeeper said: "The clothes have been rushed out, but the patterns, buttons, and hems are not finished yet. Do you want them too?"

Ye Tangcai stopped talking.

"Little Madam, wait for a few more days." The shopkeeper smiled and comforted, "It was agreed to be on July 20th, and there are only a few days left."

Ye Tangcai had no choice but to leave with Huiran.

Qiuju has been standing at the gate of Tianzi Pavilion, looking at something, seeing Ye Tang picking it, she said: "Girl, is that Miss Ling?"

Ye Tangcai was startled, followed Qiuju's gaze, and sure enough, she saw Ye Lingjiao standing beside an embroidery shop diagonally opposite.

She was wearing a water-red dress and a flower thong, holding a small bag of embroidery thread in her hand, and was talking to someone. The man was dressed in fluttering white clothes, his black hair was like jade, and his back was slender and beautiful.

"That's sister-in-law and cousin!" Ye Tangcai said as she walked over with the second maidservant.

"I picked some white silk thread and used light green satin as the base to make you a sachet. How about embroidering a few white lotus flowers on it?" Ye Lingjiao said with her head raised.

"Don't worry, I don't bring a sachet." Miao Jihe said, "Make more for your aunt! I'm leaving first!"

Speaking of leaving, Ye Lingjiao curled her lips, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the theater."

"Where to listen?"

"You don't even know, Huaifang Tower."

"I'm going again."

"Is there anything good to go, you don't even like to listen to operas." Miao Jihe shook his head.

"Sister-in-law, cousin." Ye Tangcai walked over with a smile.

Miao Jihe turned his head and saw Ye Tangcai smiling, with a small face shining brightly under the sun, so beautiful that it hurts the eyes, he couldn't help frowning.

"Sister Tang." Seeing that Ye Tangcai was very happy, Ye Lingjiao hurried forward to pull her. "Why are you here?"

"I just happened to be passing by." Ye Tangcai said, looking at Miao Jihe, "My cousin said he was going to Huaifang Tower to listen to a play. Could it be that he is going to listen to "Crying Blossoms and Furong"?"

Miao Jihe was startled: "How do you know?"

"Of course I know." Ye Tangcai said with a smile, "Huaifang Building is not well-known, but this play is famous, and it is famous for singing to move the capital. Just now when my cousin said that he was going to Huaifang Building, I guessed Uncle is going to listen to this play. But this play has been sung for a long time, and it is the first episode. Is the next episode coming out now?"

Miao Jihe said with a smile: "It's the next episode, it's been a few days."

"Then I'm going too." Ye Tangcai turned to Ye Lingjiao and said, "This play is so famous that even the elders will be moved to the point of tears. Let's go and enjoy it."

"Wow, so powerful?" Ye Lingjiao was also aroused by Ye Tangcai, looking forward to it, and then looked at Miao Jihe: "Can we go too?"

Miao Jihe said with a light smile, "Then let's go together!"

A few people walked away, Huaifang Tower was not far from here, it would only take half a quarter of an hour on foot.

Ye Tangcai held Ye Lingjiao's arm, chattering all the way.

Ye Lingjiao said: "Sister Tang is here to visit my sister-in-law, right? I was doing embroidery work at home in the morning, and later I heard that Nanny Qian and the third sister-in-law were going out. I didn't know until they came back that they also went to see my sister-in-law. They said that they would take my sister-in-law home tomorrow.”

Ye Tangcai nodded, "Yes."

"My big brother..." Ye Lingjiao said bitterly, "I don't know what kind of soup was poured into him by that outer room, and he was fascinated like that. Why is there such a person as him, he'd better be locked up there for the rest of his life , I can’t come out to be disgusting and harm people.”

Ye Tangcai burst out laughing.

Several people walked while talking, and finally came to the gate of Huaifang Building.

Ye Tangcai raised his head, and saw that it was a three-story building with red tiles and black pillars, and the three characters "Huaifang Building" hung in front of the gate, and it was not as good as Deming Class for decoration on the facade.

Ye Tangcai recalled the scene when she and Chu Yun climbed to the Deming class last time, so she smiled and said, "My third master loves this one the most. I don't know if I will bump into him today."

Ye Lingjiao frowned, "You're still having fun. You're listening to the opera..." At this point, she stopped talking, because it was Miao Jihe who wanted to listen to the opera at first.

In her mind, those who often go to the theater to listen to operas are not serious men. After all, there are not many things in the theater, but there are many actors. Those actors all love to hook up with men.

Listening to Ye Tangcai's tone just now, that niece and son-in-law are actually stuck in the theater building from time to time, otherwise Ye Tangcai couldn't say whether she would hit this point.

"You, let's have some snacks!" Ye Lingjiao raised Ye Tangcai's forehead.

"Ouch." Ye Tangcai let out a soft cry, one was pushed by her, and the other was that she was so focused on talking that she almost tripped over the threshold.

When the two of them stepped into the gate, they saw a large screen wall painted with the Spring and Autumn Period of Liyuan, bypassing the screen wall is the lobby.

There are eight immortal tables in the lobby, which are already full of people, some are drinking and chatting, some are listening to the opera seriously, and singing has already begun on the big stage.

"Isn't this Mr. Miao, the old place? Hurry up, please!" At this time, a little girl of sixteen or seventy-eight came forward courteously.

Hearing this, Ye Lingjiao's face darkened. This theater waiter already recognizes someone, and he's still old? Unexpectedly, he also loves to go to the theater!

Several people followed Xiao Er's footsteps through the lobby. Ye Lingjiao looked at the people singing on the stage, and said to Ye Tangcai, "Is the one singing on the stage what you said?"

Ye Tangcai saw a big painted face on the stage, holding up his robe, yelling and cursing angrily, and a martial artist next to him was somersaulting, so he shook his head: "No."

That drama is sad and sad, and the singing is so terrific, how can there be such a happy scene.

The three of them had already followed the boy up the stairs, the private room on the second floor.

The design here is similar to that of the Deming Class, which uses screens to create a semi-private space.

Miao Jihe is really a regular customer here, this private room has a good view, facing the front of the stage, taking the whole stage into his eyes.

In the private room was a long couch of pear wood carved with peach blossoms and several armchairs. In front of the couch were wine jugs and cups. Without his instructions, Xiao Er would go down and serve wine in a familiar way.

Miao Jihe sat on the couch and began to pour wine.

Ye Lingjiao was his fiancée, she had a thin skin after all, she couldn't bear the shame and sat on the other side of the couch, and she followed Ye Tangcai in the armchair.

"What kind of play will it be, and when will it start?" Ye Lingjiao said.

"It's not the right time," Miao Jihe said.

"Is this the next episode?" Ye Lingjiao said, "I'm afraid I won't understand it!"

"This is a series of performances." Ye Tangcai picked up a booklet on the long table with the titles of plays written on it, she pointed to it, and showed it to Ye Lingjiao: "Weishi is performing the first episode, Weishi If you only want to watch the next episode, it’s fine if it’s halfway through. We can watch the whole thing now.”

Ye Lingjiao nodded.

Ye Tang picked up a handful of melon seeds, but he was very interested.
