Chapter 476 477 [Acting on occasion] (Added update for book friend Mo Xueyiyun)
In Deyue Tower, "The Legend of White Snake" is being performed.
? Qianlong and Heshen were sitting under the stage, looking at the white snakes and green snakes on the stage, and couldn''t help but fall into deep thought.
He arrived in Yunzhou two days ago, following the nanny''s last words to look for the White Snake.
In his opinion, the white lady might be Bai Suzhen. So I watched the show today and saw "The Legend of White Snake" being performed in Deyue Tower, so I couldn''t help but want to come in and take a look.
?When he saw the white lady on the stage, she was beautiful and dignified, and her beauty was beautiful, he couldn''t help but feel moved in his heart.
After the play was over, he suggested to He Shen, "I want to go backstage to meet this white lady."
Heshen naturally obeyed the order and took Qianlong to the backstage.
“Hey, you two, the theater is in the front stage. This is the backstage. It’s not very convenient. Please go out.” The stage owner saw two strangers coming and quickly stepped forward to stop them.
As soon as Heshen saw it, he quickly took out a piece of silver and put it into the boss''s hand, "Our gentleman is curious about your backstage and wants to come in and have a look. It''s convenient."
When the theater owner saw such a big ingot, he immediately smiled and nodded, "Please look at it, please look at it~"
…
Qianlong immediately came to Du Xiaoyue and asked excitedly, "Are you the White Snake?"
"My name is Du Xiaoyue." Du Xiaoyue replied with a smile while dressing up.
Qianlong nodded.
The white lady on the stage looks absolutely beautiful. After taking off her makeup, Du Xiaoyue also had bright eyes and white teeth, and her beauty was appetizing and heart-warming.
Just when I was about to chat a few more words, a group of people suddenly rushed into the background.
"Du Xiaoyue! Where is Du Xiaoyue?!" Master Wu, the magistrate, shouted loudly with his soldiers, "Our master is going to entertain a distinguished guest from the capital. He will invite her by name to attend the singing hall. Come with me quickly."
When the theater owner heard this, he was so frightened that he looked at Du Xiaoyue pitifully, "Miss Xiaoyue, look at this..."
?At that time, singing hall meetings were not necessarily a good thing for artists, especially female artists. Because the people invited to the hall are all rich, powerful, and powerful, and they are not something that a small troupe can offend.
??If they see the artist as young and beautiful and want to make them ill-willed, it will be impossible for the artist to resist even if they want to.
When Du Xiaoyue heard that it was a distinguished guest from the capital, she stood up and said, "Master, don''t worry, I''ll go!"
"Miss Yue, thank you, thank you, thank you..." the class leader thanked her without any words, and then immediately raised her voice to say hello, "Everyone, please quickly play your instruments, get your clothes, and follow Miss Xiaoyue..."
Qianlong saw that Du Xiaoyue was about to leave before he finished speaking, so he quickly picked up an erhu to follow.
"Master, what are you..." He Shen asked in surprise.
"Playing the piano, isn''t there a piano practice for singing?" Qianlong said confidently, leaving He Shen stunned.
“Hey, are you going too?” Du Xiaoyue saw Qianlong also following and couldn’t help laughing, “Who are you?”
“I am Xu Xian.” Qianlong smiled.
?Du Xiaoyue smiled when she heard this.
…
Xiang Nan came to the government office in a sedan chair.
??Wu Zui was puzzled that he could not speak just now, but now he showed up again, but he was sensible and did not ask.
In any case, Xiang Nan appreciates his face, just come.
“Master Ji, please take a seat~” Wu Zui and many local officials gathered around Xiang Nan and took the seat.
After Xiang Nan took his seat, the show officially started, singing "The Legend of the White Snake". Xiang Nan saw that the white lady was officially played by Du Xiaoyue. As expected, she looks stunning and has extraordinary skills.
When Du Xiaoyue was backstage, she easily spotted Xiang Nan sitting in the middle of the stage like a star holding the moon.
In order for Xiang Nan to recognize her, she covered her head with a scarf before going on stage, like a man, to remind him.
“Hey, why did the white snake change its costume?”, “The white snake’s costume is a bit weird today?”, “Hey, is it a joke?”
The guests sitting under the stage saw this and started talking about it.
Xiang Nan knew in his heart that Du Xiaoyue was sending him a secret signal.
At that moment, he smiled and said to Wu Zui, "Prefect Wu, is this actor Du Xiaoyue, the famous actor in Yunzhou Prefecture?"
“That’s right, Master Ji. She must be the one to sing “The Legend of White Snake”.” Wu Zui nodded with a smile, “However, I don’t know what happened today, but she actually fell short of the standard.”
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Maybe she has been singing for a whole day. So, don''t let her sing anymore. Please ask her to come down and sit with me."
“Hey, okay.” Wu Zui agreed immediately.
?His purpose of hosting the banquet was to make Xiang Nan happy. As long as he is happy, don''t ask Du Xiaoyue to come down and sit with him. Even if it means staying with him for one night, it doesn''t matter. He doesn''t believe that a little actor dares to make such a big difference.
“Du Xiaoyue, stop singing and come down to accompany Mr. Ji.” Wu Zui immediately ordered.
…
As soon as Du Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately went backstage to remove her makeup.
Backstage, Qianlong was very dissatisfied when he saw this, "What a good Ji Xiaolan. He looks so sanctimonious at the top, but he didn''t expect that when he came down, he would show his true colors as a scholar."
"Your Majesty, you don''t know something about this. Ji Xiaolan is an official sent by the imperial court, and local officials should treat her well. This is a common practice." He Shen explained quickly.
A moment later, Du Xiaoyue took off her makeup, changed her clothes, and came to the banquet dressed elegantly. "Du Xiaoyue, serve Mr. Ji well, I promise you glory and wealth!"
"Yes." Du Xiaoyue nodded, "Master Ji, you worked **** grading the papers. Xiaoyue gives you a toast~"
“Hey, I can’t say it’s hard work, but one of the papers is too deep and I can’t understand it at the moment.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
As soon as Du Xiaoyue heard this, she knew that Xiang Nan had noticed her paper, and she immediately felt happy.
"Master Ji, as long as you have a heart, you can understand it." She immediately replied, "A heart that loves the people."
"Okay, that''s good, come and take a seat!" Xiang Nan smiled, and then came up to her, "Are you Mochou or Du Xiaoyue? You risked beheading, participated in Enke, and wrote the complaint with your blood "There must be a lot of grievances. Please tell me carefully, what is going on?"
"Master Ji, my name is Du Xiaoyue, and Mochou is my sister." Du Xiaoyue explained, "I don''t know exactly what happened. You need to go to the prison to see my sister, and she will tell you. "
“I just asked Magistrate Wu, and he said that Mochou is a rebel against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. He is an important criminal ordered by the imperial government. He will be executed by the imperial minister Fukang An in the near future.
I am studying politics. Even if I am a scholar, I will never go to prison. Xiang Nan shook his head and said.
"Master Ji, my sister was wronged. You must save her." Du Xiaoyue begged after hearing this.
"In this case, if you want to enter the prison, you must have the prefect''s token." Xiang Nan reminded her, "It is hanging on the waist of prefect Wu now..."
"That''s easy to do." Du Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and immediately saw the token hanging on Wu Zui''s waist, and she immediately had an idea.
…
??Wu Zui felt happy when he saw Xiang Nan and Du Xiaoyue sitting together, biting their ears and whispering to each other as soon as they met. They were so intimate.
Colleagues also laughed and joked, "The prefect invited Du Xiaoyue to accompany Mr. Ji today. He really invited the right person. Look at how well they get along."
When Wu Zui heard this, he smiled even more happily.
