Chapter 4
Gu Heng continued to help in the kitchen, the food in the kitchen was still not a little bit meaty, but the people in the Chunxi class were happier than usual.

I heard that the troupe master and the others have written a new play.

Since the old troupe master passed away, Chunxi Troupe has not released a new play for a long time.

After Gu Heng finished his meal, he went to the front yard to watch their rehearsal.

In his previous life, Gu Heng didn't have much interest in traditional operas, but at this moment, the smiles and actions of the people on the stage are really beautiful.

Liang Lansheng walked to Gu Heng's side calmly.

"Little Aheng, go to Yanchun Hall for the opening ceremony tomorrow, can you go with me?"

Gu Heng opened his eyes wide.

Liang Lansheng said with a smile: "After all, this play can be considered written by you."

Gu Heng hurriedly said: "I just told a story, my mother and I stayed here, we should repay the kindness of the class master, it would be great if we could help."

Liang Lansheng said with a smile: "Little Ah Heng is really a good and humble boy."

Gu Heng was a little shy.

On the second day, Liang Lansheng, Liang Hongyu and others took Gu Heng out.

She was looking forward to it in her heart, after all, this Nanjing Qinhuai River is an extremely prosperous place.

This road was bustling with crowds, and the streets and alleys that could have accommodated five people abreast could only accommodate two people abreast due to the vendors on both sides.

Gu Heng was short, so Liang Lansheng protected her by his side. They walked through the crowded streets and alleys before reaching the avenue.

On the left side of the avenue is the Qinhuai River, and behind it are rows of brothels and Chu houses.

There are small windows on the second floor, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be faintly heard, and the whole street is filled with the fragrance of cosmetics.

Gu Heng lowered his head and followed the crowd.

They passed through the flower street and willow alley, and came to an extremely elegant teahouse, this is Yanchun Hall, the shopkeeper here has some friendship with the Chunxi Troupe, Liang Hongyu sent a letter of worship, and performed here.

After they went in, the waiter in the teahouse took the troupe to the backstage, and Liang Lansheng reserved a seat for Gu Heng.

This made Gu Heng a little flattered.

They were preparing in the background, and Gu Heng was drinking tea in front. Most of the people who came to this teahouse were rich and leisurely.There are also some women, but most of them are married.

Gu Heng was thin and small, so he didn't dare to look around.

At this time, among the young men sitting in the private room on the second floor, one of them looked down, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting, he said to his companions: "Look quickly, there is nothing in this hall. The little girl sitting there looks somewhat similar to Concubine Rong."

One of them was a tall boy with romantic eyes looking out.

"There is indeed a bit of similarity. The eyebrows and Concubine Rong are somewhat similar, and they are both charming."

The Confucian shirt boy sitting on the main seat sighed helplessly.

"Although this is in Nanjing, it is really inappropriate to openly discuss the concubines in the palace."

The tall young man sneered and said, "There is no woman in your family who has entered the palace, so I don't know that in this palace, His Majesty only favors Concubine Rong, and it seems that Concubine Rong is about to be crowned empress."

The man in the Confucian shirt continued: "Even if you are the empress, with Concubine Rong's family background, I'm afraid it will be difficult to affect your status as a Fuguo duke. After all, the imperial concubine has heard that she is pregnant."

The tall man had a smug expression on his face.

Sitting next to him at this moment, the extremely handsome young man who had never spoken a word suddenly stood up.

The tall boy suddenly smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you actually join in the fun."

The boy who was called Fifth Brother didn't speak, but just looked down.

At this moment, Gu Heng noticed that someone was looking at him from above, so he raised his head, meeting the man's gaze.

The boy who was called Fifth Brother turned his head and said in a low voice: "It is indeed somewhat similar."

"Then buy her and send her to the palace, how about disgusting Concubine Rong?"

Everyone at the table was silent, and finally the young man in Confucianism smiled and said: "Liu Lang, this woman's appearance is not as good as Concubine Rong, I'm afraid..."

The boy named Liulang said: "I think this girl is growing up, maybe she has a different flavor."

While they were talking, there was a sound of gongs and drums on the stage.

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the actors on the stage.

Liang Hongyu was dressed in a military uniform, raising her hand and there was a libretto.

Even though she is a daughter, she dares to join the army for her father. Even though the road ahead is dangerous, she still has to serve the country like a man.

Liang Hongyu has a handsome appearance, a sonorous and powerful singing voice, and her figure and kung fu are even more amazing. Everyone in the audience is fascinated by it.

All the young masters on the stage were also attracted, and the eyes of the young man called Liu Lang were shining, as if he was extremely interested.

"I have never heard such an interesting play in the capital. Nanjing is really a good place."

The boy next to him called Goro listened with great fascination.

"The libretto is good, and the story is interesting. What's the name of this play?"

The Confucian shirt boy looked at the flower name next to him.

"Mulan"

At this moment, there was applause from the audience, and countless turbans were thrown onto the stage. Liu Lang threw the jade wrench in his hand onto the stage, obviously very happy.

"That's right, Brother Huang found a good place today."

The young man in Confucian shirts had a bright face, and thought in his heart, this Fuguogong is indeed the only remaining family of founding meritorious service, with such a generous hand.

Gu Heng sat under the stage, his heart was full of excitement, it seemed that the effect of this play was very good.

The spectators in the audience asked to continue singing.

This Liang Hongyu came to the stage and said with a smile: "This play is a new work of the Chunxi Troupe. The script for the following play has not been written yet. If you like it, you have to wait for a while."

The spectators were all displeased, but Liang Hongyu didn't say much, she bowed and left the stage.

The teahouse has become a storytelling place again.

Gu Heng hurriedly stood up, she wanted to go to the backstage to find someone from the Chunxi class, but was stopped by a few servants.

The leading servant said: "Girl, my master knows you, and I would like you to go upstairs to identify yourself."

Gu Heng was taken aback for a moment, his old friend?Could it be her brother and sister?
Gu Heng followed the boy upstairs.

When she arrived at the private room on the second floor, she stepped back in fright as soon as she entered. The room was full of young men, and the waiters were very gorgeous. They should be the young masters of wealthy families.

What frightened Gu Heng was the gazes of these people.

Gu Heng hurriedly said to the boy next to him: "I don't have any acquaintances here, you have misunderstood the person."

After Gu Heng finished speaking, he was about to leave.

But those servants held Gu Heng back, and Gu Heng froze in place in fright.

She is really careless.

Seeing that Gu Heng was so scared, Liu Lang smiled and said, "Who are you?"

Gu Heng said, "I'm from Chunxi Troupe, that's Liang Hongyu who sang opera just now."

Hearing this, Liu Lang immediately showed a satisfied look on his face, and he said to Goro next to him, "It turns out that he is an actor, so it will be easier to handle."

Gu Heng took a step back.

"Little girl, I bought you, and you will be my man in the future, so you don't have to sing in the troupe to make amends."

The person spoke in a very relaxed manner, as if buying or selling an item.

Gu Heng retorted: "I can't sell it, I'm not an actor."

Rokuro laughed out loud.

"You little girl, why are you so ungrateful? Do you know who we are? If you follow me, you will have inexhaustible glory and wealth in this life."

Gu Heng frowned: "I don't know adults. I know I'm a mediocre person. How can I win the favor of adults? Don't adults make fun of me."

Several sons laughed.

The Confucian shirt boy said: "This girl is interesting, she can talk, she is a talent to make."

Liulang said to the boy next to him: "Go and find the people from the theater troupe, and say that I, Wang Liulang, want to ask them for someone."
