Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 126

After Su Chen and Peng Qingqing sat down, they were in the middle of the third row.There are more than a dozen tables in the first row of seats, all of which are reserved for the assistant officials of the governor's office, officials of the prefect, officials of the county government, and some marquises and great scholars who have resigned from office in Runzhou City for retirement.

People like governors, chief historians, and magistrates insist on their identities, even if they send invitations, they will not come in person, but most of them will send one or two low-level officials to cheer, or the stewards of the Houfu.Of course, there will be some people who make an exception and come in person, like Han Xizai, he likes this kind of occasion, and he also heard that it is Su Yixuan's opera script, and he will not miss it for the first time performing a stage play.

Xu Qingwan also came to the scene in person. Behind her is the powerful Xu family. Her father and grandfather were all made marquises by the royal family. She herself is the most talented woman in Runzhou. The museum has a lot of face.

Even Sang's mother didn't expect that Xu Qingwan, a talented woman, would come in person and warmly entertained her to sit down.

The second row is where the nine major families are located, and each has its own management representative. Although "scholars, farmers, businessmen" are the four common classes in society, businessmen are at the bottom.But in the real society, if you really think that farmers and craftsmen have more status than businessmen, then you are dogmatic, and you are wrong.

In the society of the Southern Tang Dynasty, economic development was very important, and the status of merchants was raised to a high level. Although there are still many restrictions on the status of merchants in the law, they are not allowed to be officials, or they are not allowed to enter the official career, or they are not allowed in the household registration and other ranks. There are restrictions, and there are more taxes and other suppression regulations.

However, merchants in the Southern Tang Dynasty already had a strong influence. They had abundant funds, often colluded with officials and businessmen, bribed officials, hired a large number of domestic servants, became tenant owners of a large amount of land, and determined the survival of hundreds of tenant farmers.At the same time, many craftsmen are hired to work in their own workshops, etc., and they have a great say in the city, and even the government rarely offends wealthy families.

If the sons of the merchant family commit crimes and do bad things, they will often lose money and settle the matter, and the big and small things will be turned into small ones.The old saying "The people do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials" is the true portrayal.

The poor "scholars, peasants and workers" generally cannot afford to offend businessmen, just because they are rich!

The three of Su Chen and Peng Qingqing sat on the table in the third row, where there were powerful yamen, princes of rich families, officials of Xinke, etc., as well as young masters of some second-rate merchant families.

"Su Chen?" A cold voice came, calling out his name.

Su Chen turned his head to look over, and found an acquaintance on the table on his right: Cao Dan, the third young master of the Cao family.

The Cao family once conspired against the Su family's ancestral prescriptions and ancestral houses, etc., and Cao Dan was the one pushed by the Cao family to set him up to deliberately lose money and owe gambling debts.

It can be said that the death of that "Su Chen" in the past was all related to Cao Dan, so he was able to come back to life.However, he would not be grateful to Cao Dan for this. The sense of justice in his heart made Su Chen and Cao Dan destined to continue to be hostile.

"Why are you calling me master?" Su Chen hummed back.

Cao Dan's face became angry, he got up and walked forward with two servants, he was about to teach him a lesson, but just a few steps forward, he saw Han Yunpeng who was sitting with Su Chen, he was stunned, although he was not a yamen, he was still He also followed some powerful young men in the city through the circle, and recognized that this was the young man from Han Shilang's mansion, nicknamed: Mr. Dapeng!

Han Yunpeng glanced over, and then asked Su Chen: "Is there any grudge?"

Su Chen said with a righteous face: "This is the third young master of the Cao family. He usually cheats, bullies the neighbors, exploits the common people, molests women, steals people's money, beats widows, old people and children. It can be said that he does all kinds of evil. It's a pity that the family's medicine store business is a bit of a waste of money. , so no one has cured him yet.”

Cao Dan's expression changed when he heard this, and he said angrily, "You, you slandered my young master Qingyu!"

After hearing this, Han Yunpeng couldn't hold back anymore, there are still such bad young men in Runzhou City!He's just a son of a merchant, and he's even worse than the yamen in their dignitaries' mansions, it's a bit too arrogant!

"Crack!" Han Yunpeng rushed up and slapped Cao Dan on the face, then kicked hard twice, and said angrily, "Well, you bastard, you are so bossy, I feel that no one in Runzhou City can take care of you!" Is it you?"

Cao Dan was taken aback by the beating, knowing the identity of Mr. Han, he held his head and dared not fight back, but the two servants behind Cao Dan didn't know. Seeing the young master being beaten, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.

Han Yunpeng is 16 years old. When he was a child, he learned basic martial arts from the boxer in his family's nursing home. He was just able to use his strength in fighting. After a severe beating, both Cao Dan and Jia Ding were beaten.

At this time, the deacon in charge of public security in the Xiangyun Pavilion brought people over to maintain order. When he saw Han Yunpeng beating someone, he didn't dare to be violent with him. He didn't say anything about accountability, and asked the three of Cao's family to be carried out.

Su Chen didn't make a move from the beginning to the end, and smiled slightly at Han Yunpeng who sat down again, and stretched out his thumb: "That's right, a visit to the brothel can also eliminate harm for the people, you are indeed Mr. Dapeng!"

Han Yunpeng grinned and said, "If he dares to offend Big Brother Su, he offends me. Once we meet again, I'll beat him up once."

Su Chen nodded: "Well, good brother, we share blessings, and share hatred with each other!"

Peng Qingqing was not interested in this, so she patted the table: "You two be quiet, the show is about to begin."

Su Chen and Han Yunpeng looked at each other, and they didn't dare to speak anymore. Among the three, the real Tyrannosaurus rex is here!

At this moment, the bell rang, and the opera was about to begin.

Hundreds of people in the lobby were all quiet, full of curiosity about the stage play.

Many people in the audience have a cold-eyed attitude towards this, hoping to see the jokes of Liu Mo Nong in the Xiangyun Pavilion.

Even inside the Xiangyun Pavilion, there are a group of actresses and sisters headed by Cui Qiaoer, who have prejudices against Liu Mo's close group of ladies and gentlemen, expecting them to mess up this time, fail the performance, and make a big joke.They have all thought about it in private, as long as the performance is average, they will immediately boo them off the stage.

At this time, silk and bamboo music sounded, and the stage curtain slowly opened.

The lights in the lobby began to turn off, and the light became dim. Everyone's eyes were forced to look at the stage, and the atmosphere was well done.

On the stage, the props are very conspicuous, the garden rockery, the gate of the house, all very realistic.

Many big lanterns lit up the lights brightly, and an old woman stepped out on the stage, playing the role of Mrs. Cui. She began to tell herself that there was a little girl named Yingying in her family, and she acted out the wedge part of the storybook.

Afterwards, Mrs. Cui left the stage, and Zhang Sheng, played by Shen Jiaru, appeared on the stage. He was about to go to Beijing to take the exam, and came to a mountain temple. He happened to meet Cui Yingying and the matchmaker...

The plot is compact, the characters are full, and there is a combination of lyrics and music. During the performance, a song will be sung to suit the occasion. This mixed song and dance plot really surprised the audience. It is more vivid than storytelling. The content is richer than listening to music, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

From time to time, there were applause and applause from the audience, especially Cui Yingying's beautiful beauty, Zhang Sheng's scholarly heroism, and Matchmaker's playfulness and cuteness, all performed very vividly on stage.

In about half an hour, all the two-fold dramas were performed, and the audience was still full of satisfaction. Knowing that this drama will take ten consecutive performances before the story can be finished, all of them were immediately interested in it, and they were more excited about the direction of the story that will happen later. curious.

"Su Yixuan, you have a partial talent!" Han Xizai was full of emotions. After watching this kind of opera, he suddenly felt that there were dozens of singers in his house who were just dancing, singing and singing, which was really meaningless. up.

The representatives sent by Tongque Tower, Hongxiufang, and Cuiwei Pavilion were ashen-faced, and felt that something was wrong, and they had to go back to send news so that Hua Dan and the old bustard could find a way to deal with it.

Cui Qiao'er and other women in Xiangyun Pavilion have expressions of envy and envy, but also unwillingness and disappointment.Liu Mo Nong's performance was a success, and they felt that they would probably be purged in the Xiangyun Pavilion.

After watching the show, Xu Qingwan, a talented woman, liked the story, dialogue, lyrics, etc. of the drama very much. She felt that it was very Su Yixuan's style. Wouldn't Mr. Su come over to watch?

At this moment, she suddenly saw a figure in the crowd, resembling Su Yixuan's figure and side profile, his eyes lit up, his expression was joyful, and he walked over quickly, the target she was approaching was exactly—— Su Chen!
