Chapter 251 Farce in front of the theater

The Half Day Theater opened two more shows during the Chinese New Year, starting at the end of the morning and closing at the end of the hour.

It is the beginning of Sishi, which means that the theater has opened. Why are these people gathered here?

Shen Jia jumped off the carriage and walked over slowly.

"My child, I am your mother! Why don't you see me? You are so cruel! You have been away for more than ten years, and you have not even entered the house to take a look when you returned to the capital. I pity the Duke, the old lady and the prince. I have missed you so much these past years that I have been unable to sleep at night..."

"Madam, who are you talking about?"

The maid next to her kindly explained: "He is the owner of the Half Day Theater. He is the son of our prince's late wife and disappeared more than ten years ago.

Last year our wife recognized him in the theater and begged him to return to Duke Pingguo's mansion, but Shopkeeper Du refused and even used words to humiliate our wife. It's pitiful for our wife's motherly heart..."

The wife of Prince Pingguo covered her face with a round fan and looked like she was about to cry. She sobbed: "The Duke of Pingguo said that he doesn't care that the child was once an actor. His blood cannot be left outside. He hopes that the child can return to the country." The government recognized the ancestor and returned it to the clan, but the child avoided seeing him..."

The crowd started talking.

"This shopkeeper Du is so ignorant! The prince doesn't even care that he was an actor and asked him to go home and recognize his ancestors. Why would he refuse?"

"That's right, that's right. There is an aristocratic son from an aristocratic family who behaves inappropriately, but wants to be an actor trampled on by others. Could it be that his head was kicked by a donkey?"

Shen Jia stopped outside for a while, then walked away.

There's something weird about this.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Duke Ping and others to want Du Kangquan to return to Duke Ping's mansion.

After all, for a family to have an actor, in this era, it is extremely embarrassing and loses reputation.

According to the average big family, the normal approach is to either find someone to kill Du Kangquan, or to live without contact and treat him as a stranger.

But why did the Pingguo Guild want Du Kangquan to return to the Pingguo Duke's mansion even if he wanted to lose his reputation?
Shen Jia was thinking as she walked, and soon came to the entrance of the theater. The gatekeeper was a guard with black letters brought from Beili Village.

The theater is different from the restaurant. The maids and waiters inside are all people trained by the Shen family with martial arts skills.

When the guard saw Bai Kou, he knew that Shen Jia was here.

He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Master."

"Without courtesy, take me to see Du Kangquan."

"Yes."

Shen Jia followed the guards into the theater, where a new play "The Legend of the Eagle" was being performed.

Shen Jia stopped and watched for a while. The actors on the stage had wonderful voices and facial expressions, and they interpreted the story vividly. In order to be more realistic, Du Kangquan also found someone to make a vivid eagle.

The auditorium on the first floor was full, and the boxes upstairs were also full of people, and people cheered from time to time.

Shen Jia exclaimed: If Du Kangquan had been in his previous life, he would have been a world-famous director and actor.

The Half Day Theater, like the Zuixian Tower, reserved the best box for Shen Jia.

Du Kangquan received the news from the guards and hurried over and saw Shen Jia at the door of the box.

"Master Du, long time no see. You are even more elegant than before." Shen Jia said with a playful smile. Compared with Wucheng, Du Kangquan is still handsome now, but his whole temperament has changed.

In the past, there was always an aura of decadence and gloom about him, but now I see confidence, optimism, and elegance in him, like a handsome young man with a successful career and a satisfactory life.

Du Kangquan blushed a little when Shen Jia praised him, "Master Jia, don't make fun of me. I am a pariah, how can I be so elegant?"

Shen Jia put away her playful smile and said seriously: "What's going on with that woman outside? Do you need me to take action?"

Du Kangquan was silent, "Since November last year, that woman has often come to the theater door to perform a show of loving motherly love. Seeing that it didn't affect the theater's business, I didn't bother to take care of her. I didn't expect to be caught by you today." Saw."

Shen Jia frowned slightly: "Don't you find it strange? Her behavior must have been approved by Duke Ping, his wife and the crown prince. No, it was possible that they had given instructions.

Otherwise, no high-class lady would be willing to make a fuss outside the theater like a market woman? They all cherish their reputations and will never come forward in person. They will ask maids and servants to come forward for anything, unless there is something hidden in it? "

Hearing this, Du Kangquan also began to think deeply.

He hated everyone in Pingguo Palace and never inquired about their affairs. The first time the woman acted outside, he was so disgusted that he even vomited out his overnight meal.

But he never thought about why she came to the theater door to perform such a scene of mother-son love.

Now that I think about it, it is indeed very suspicious, but he is just an actor, what could he have that is worthy of their plot? Do they want to plot against the theater?
Shen Jia also thought that Duke Ping's purpose was the theater.

Money moves people's hearts.

During the Chinese New Year period, the theater made a net profit of nearly two thousand taels per day. Even if there is only one class on weekdays, you can still earn thousands of taels a day.

Duke Ping's Mansion is King Ping's maternal family, and King Ping will need money to compete for that position.

If Du Kangquan returns to Pingguo Palace to recognize his ancestors, they can coerce him into handing over the theater.

And as long as Du Kangquan steps into the Pingguo Palace, he will inevitably fall into the trap they have prepared for him. After they get the theater, the news that Du Kangquan fell ill and died should soon come out.

Because no aristocratic family could bear to have a former actor in their family.

Shen Jia glanced at Du Kangquan sympathetically, what kind of blood relatives are they! Not even as good as an enemy.

"Do you want to go back? If you want to go back, Xiao Yichen and I can help you take over the identity of Duke Pingguo's eldest son. Then take control of the entire Duke Pingguo's palace..." Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen had already had such a plan, but Du Kang didn't mention it at all. , they were outsiders and couldn't interfere in other people's private affairs, so they didn't mention it.

They felt that Du Kangquan was the eldest grandson of Duke Ping, and if he returned to Duke Ping's palace, they could help him become the heir apparent. Then help him win the power of Pingguo Duke's Mansion.

And without the support of Duke Ping, Prince Ping is just a toothless tiger and has nothing to fear.

Du Kangquan frowned and thought. He knew that with the abilities of Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen, it was possible to help him take over the Pingguo Palace, but he was really confused whether he should go back or not.

His mother's tablet is still in Pingguogong's mansion. Last time, that bitch sent someone to threaten him. If he didn't go back, he would destroy his mother's tablet.

But when he thought of facing that pair of bastard men and women, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but stab them with a knife. Until then, it didn't matter to him, but it would be bad if it affected Shen Jiahe's theater.

"Master Jia, I will tell you after my subordinates think it over carefully."

"Okay! You are my subordinate, and I will support you no matter what decision you make."

"Well! Thank you Master Jia."
