The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

I mentioned it last time.Nurhachi told Zhang Fan.That day he and Zhu Yijun were extremely bored because of poverty.Following the sound of drum music, he walked into a theater garden.

about this point.Zhang Fan can understand.When Zhu Yijun was in the capital.Now Longqing's queen, Empress Xiao'an, is sick because of her frailty.Live in another palace.And Long Qing liked his queen very much.Especially because of his last queen, Empress Xiaoyizhuang, Empress Li, because of her biological son.After Huaixian Prince Zhu Yiyin died young.He died prematurely due to exhaustion.Long Qing missed his dead wife again.He also loves the current Empress Xiao'an, the Chen family, very much.Some troupes are often allowed to enter the palace to perform.Once to please Empress Xiao'an.Let her be bored.

But also said before.Zhu Yijun as the prince.Every time there is a troupe performing in the palace.He has to be there.But every time I listen to a play.Zhu Yijun felt deeply tortured.After that is drowsiness.It's not that Long Qing, Empress Xiao'an, and Zhu Yijun's biological mother Li Guifei are unaware of this situation.But Zhu Yijun is usually very obedient in the palace.In addition, whether it is Longqing or Empress Xiaoan.Or maybe his biological mother Li Guifei liked Zhu Yijun very much.Especially Empress Xiaoan.Due to childlessness.Zhu Yijun was treated like her own son by her.On weekdays, I love her even more.If Zhu Yijun made any mistakes.Long Qing or Concubine Li Gui wanted to punish him.He will inevitably go to the other palace where Empress Xiao'an lives to hide and beg for mercy.Although Empress Xiao'an would severely reprimand Zhu Yijun every time.But she definitely wouldn't hit him.It's too late to hurt.Even if Long Qing or Concubine Li Gui chased after her.Empress Xiao'an immediately changed her face.Protect Zhu Yijun in every possible way.This made Long Qing and Concubine Li very helpless.Except for Long Qing giving way to Xiao An.Concubine Li Gui is also very considerate of this sister.He never reprimanded Zhu Yijun in front of her.

But also because of this.Empress Xiao'an never minded that she invited Zhu Yijun to watch the play.And the fact that he would openly doze off.

But these are not the point.The point is.Zhu Yijun has never been fond of or patient with listening to opera.Ming Dynasty drama.There are four tunes in Nanqu.They are Haiyan tune, Yuyao tune, Kunshan tune and Yiyang tune.The dramas that use these four tunes as singing methods all have strong local characteristics.Very popular with local Baixin.But for Zhu Yijun.He didn't like music very much, even the opera troupes in the capital sang operas with a singing voice he could understand.He won't like it.This is a drama that uses the local language of Fujian as the singing voice.How could he like it.

However, Zhang Fan only thought about it slightly in his heart.He was more concerned about what happened that made Zhu Yijun so lingering on that theater.

"At that time, the theater was very noisy. There were too many people. Plus it was summer. After a while, His Highness and I were sweating from the heat. At that time, His Highness was very uncomfortable. He immediately gave up and continued to talk to those who followed him. The people continue to hide, dragging me to leave there." Nurhachi continued to tell. "It's just that when we were about to leave the theater, we ran into a woman. No, it's better to say that His Highness was too anxious to go out. He didn't look carefully at the road ahead. He bumped into a woman."

Zhang Fan immediately became interested when he heard this.he knows.What I want to know.The woman who had made Zhu Yijun fascinated for the past few days finally appeared.only.Nurhachi's description made Zhang Fan feel.This fact can really be attributed to chance.There is no trace of conspiracy in it.If you have to say something.That's just too accidental.The scene Nurhachi mentioned reminded Zhang Fan of the beginning of the year.How did I meet Yingyue when I was in Yiji Nai.And at that time, Yingyue approached Zhang Fan with a purpose.This made Zhang Fan a little nervous.But he didn't take it too seriously.After all, the encounter between himself and Yingyue can be said to be facilitated by Yingyue on purpose.But Zhu Yijun's situation is very different.If this is really a conspiracy set up by someone.How could the other party be so sure that Zhu Yijun would definitely enter that theater.But now Zhang Fan got too little.It's really not enough to judge the interest of this matter.

"At that time, Your Highness didn't suffer any harm. It was just because the incident was so sudden. Your Highness didn't recover for a while. He was about to fall to the ground. At that time, I was also a little confused by this situation. Unexpectedly There was no movement. Fortunately, the woman His Highness bumped into grabbed His Highness and hugged her in her arms. That's why His Highness didn't fall to the ground." Nurhachi said sideways.It seems that he is still thinking about the scene at that time. "After she helped His Highness up, she immediately checked to see if His Highness was injured. And she looked very anxious. Later, she almost cried. My Highness and I came to our senses and saw her like this. We also hurriedly persuaded her." She. After persuading for a long time, she stopped crying. Fortunately, there were a lot of people in the theater at that time. In addition, the opera was singing on the stage. It was very noisy. We didn't disturb other people. After sitting down, His Highness asked to find out. It turned out that she saw the expensive clothes His Highness was wearing. She was afraid that something was damaged in the collision just now. We will demand compensation from her. That's why she almost burst into tears. His Highness and I listened to each other. After talking for a while, she stopped Weeping. But the look in our eyes is still somewhat dubious.

"Afterwards, Your Highness and I chatted with her. According to the woman, her name is Ruan'er. Because I was not old enough to name the girl's family when I was a child, my parents passed away. So I still don't have a name. She is only called by the nickname Ruan Er. Besides herself, she also has a younger brother who is much younger than her. Unfortunately, her brother is not in good health. He was seriously ill when he was eight years old. But he has no money for him Healing. Ruan Er just watched her brother die in front of her.

"Ruan Eryou has been busy with life since she was a child. She often travels in the market. She has heard a lot of singing in those theaters on weekdays. She can also sing a few lines. She often sings to her younger brother. After his brother died. Ruan She lives alone with no relatives and no reason. It's just that although she looks very ordinary, she is not beautiful. But she is 16 years old after all. She wants to work for a rich family. But they think she is too vulgar and doesn't know how to behave. I don't want her; I live alone. She is a girl. I can't tell you how difficult it is. She is often harassed by those local ruffians. In the end, there is really no way. She has to find a theater by herself. She plans to sell herself to the theater Boss. People who are too good don’t like them. Ruan’er, who is too bad, can’t protect herself from being bullied even if she goes in. I have to choose this small theater troupe. After all, if you follow the troupe on weekdays Even if those local rascals are bold and reckless, they still have to worry about being attacked by the crowd. After all, there are many hard-working people like Ruan Er in the theater troupe. Coincidentally. The troupe was short of a small role at that time. The boss After listening to some of Ruan'er's vocals, I think she's not bad. Besides, the boss isn't too bad. It's because of Ruan'er's hard life, so I kept her."

After listening to what Nurhachi said.Zhang Fan understood what happened to them.But Zhang Fan still couldn't understand why Zhu Yijun was so fascinated by Ruan Er.Ruan'er's life experience is miserable.But there are many people in this world who are worse than her.Even in the stories Zhang Fan told Zhu Yijun.How could Zhu Yijun care so much about Ruan'er?

"What happened after that is like this." Nurhachi seemed to understand Zhang Fan's confusion.Immediately began to explain. "Your Highness listened to her story and began to talk to her while sympathizing with her. According to Ruan'er, she is still helping out on the stage. She is not a leading role. But the owner of the theater thinks she has good qualifications. Right now I planned to let her play the leading role or something. But I found out. His Highness was talking to this Ruan Er. He didn’t make much noise. Instead, he kept looking at her. And Ruan Er was the same. I was curious at the time Very. But it is not convenient to ask His Highness what is going on on the spot. I have to wait there. Protect His Highness.

"When it was getting late that day, I found that His Highness still refused to leave. Fortunately, the owner of the theater seemed to call Ruan Er for something. And I found that the person sent by the Lord to follow His Highness to protect him was also very anxious I had to remind His Highness that it is time to go back. His Highness agreed to leave the theater and come back. But I think His Highness was a bit reluctant when he was about to leave. The same is true for Ruan Er.

"After I came back, Your Highness asked me to promise in every possible way. Don't tell anyone what happened. Especially you, my lord. Although I agreed, I was very curious. In addition, my lord was busy with the Japanese pirates attacking the ship in the past few days. Very often. Not here often. I boldly asked His Highness the reason. Who knows why His Highness refused to tell me. He blushed. I asked a few more questions. His Highness ignored me. Turned around I went back to my room.

"The second day. Before His Highness and I went out, he even called a few people to protect him. He told them in every possible way not to follow him. After he left the door, His Highness didn't go anywhere. He went directly to the theater. The theater was not open. It's early. But His Highness is very patient. Seeing Ruan'er busy there, he didn't mean to disturb. When the theater is about to open, Ruan'er will have a play for the first time. His Highness was the first to go in when he found out. Grabbed a good seat in the front row. When the play started, the protagonist appeared on the stage. The people below applauded. His Highness was lacking in nature; but when Ruan Er came on stage, even if the role she played was not Important. The people listening to the opera in the audience didn't respond. His Highness immediately stood up and applauded. And His Highness, he didn't care about the surprised eyes of others.

"As soon as Ruan'er's play was over, His Highness immediately abandoned the seat in the front row and waited in a quieter place behind. Sure enough, Ruan'er came over immediately after taking off her makeup. His Highness and her chatted like this again Get up. The owner of the theater found out, but he didn't stop him. He just told Ruan Er not to forget the next play she was going to be on stage.

"Your Highness and Ruan Er are talking about ordinary things. Although Ruan Er doesn't know His Highness's identity, she knows that His Highness was born rich and honored. She doesn't want to mention her own affairs. His Highness is not relentless. Ask. And I also swore that what he said was definitely not to mock Ruan Er. Ruan Er started talking. But that's what she said. I also know why His Highness and her can talk like this."
