Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 197 Acting is a skill (2)
As the New Year approaches, many people come to the market to buy New Year’s goods, peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and candied dried fruits. The New Year symbolizes joy and reunion. It is the most important traditional folk festival in Dai Viet.

The ordinary people in the province have also become generous, scrambling to buy, and surrounded the stalls tightly, making noise and bargaining.

"Girl, this old hen has already been reserved. The man said to go back to get the copper coins and let me wait here for a while."

An old lady with gray hair was sitting at the intersection with an old hen in her hand.A young man said he wanted to buy an old hen, and the two settled for [-] Wen. The young man didn't have enough copper coins, so he went home to pick it up and asked the old lady to wait for a while.

Although the hen is not worried about selling, since he agreed to the young man, he must be honest. The old lady sat down for an hour and refused to leave.

"Ma'am, the man said that the house is nearby. It's been so long and I haven't come back. I guess I don't want it. You might as well sell it to this girl."

The butcher next to him couldn't stand it anymore.The weather was cold, and my hands were red and swollen from the cold. Looking at the dark sky, it might snow soon. The old lady is too old to stand the wind and cold, so she is just an old hen, so why wait so hard.

"But I promised him, so why go back on my word?"

The old lady was also very anxious, but she still said firmly without hesitation, "That's all. Wait another hour."

The people around shook their heads, and it was hard to say anything, thinking that the young man was not authentic, and the old lady was waiting for the New Year's Eve, even if you didn't buy it, at least come over and say something.

In the twelfth lunar month in Kyoto, the north wind was bitingly cold. Mo Yan opened the gauze curtain to take a look at the sky, and said to Mo Bing, "Go, get out of the car, and tell the old lady that you are the boy's neighbor. The boy can't get away, so If I ask you to help buy the old hen, I will give you an extra [-] cents, thank the old lady for waiting."

Mo Yan doesn't like to be nosy, but she was still moved by the spirit of the old lady. If she got it in modern times, she might think that the old lady is stupid. This is the best time for business. Whoever sells the old hen sells it? Starving and freezing here.

Sure enough, although the old lady was a little puzzled by Mo Bing's remarks, she was still very happy, but she said that fifty cents was already a high price.

"Miss, the servant secretly put it in her purse."

Mo Bing was holding the old hen in one hand, with an embarrassed expression on his face.The second hidden guard next to King Nanping, the war god of Dayue Dynasty, was reduced to buying chickens in the market, and even told a white lie to deceive the old lady. If Anyi and the others knew about this, they might not necessarily laugh at it.

"Well, this girl, can you sell me the hen?"

The braided girl who was waiting to buy a hen turned her head, and Mo Yan was taken aback. She knew this man, not only did she know him, Mo Yan had even saved him.On the way to Yingchuan, after passing by the ghost village, Mo Yan waited in the teahouse for Wanqi Yuling to wash up, and the girl Zhang sang a ditty downstairs.

At that time, I met the relatives of the county lord's concubine, the local snake forced Miss Zhang, watching her about to hit the pillar, Mo Yan begged Wanqi Yuling to help.

"The hen is not for sale, but it can be given to you."

Mo Yan poked her head out of the car window and waved to Miss Zhang. Although she saved people indirectly, because of the rush, it was Wan Qi Yuling who arranged for the aftermath. She did not have direct contact with Miss Zhang.

"Miss, you don't get rewarded for nothing."

Miss Zhang looked puzzled, she saw the scene just now.Today she went to the market to buy, and saw that the old lady's old hens were good, but who knew that the old lady just didn't sell them, and when she was almost done buying, she turned around, and the old lady was still sitting there, and Miss Zhang knew in her heart that the young man was not will be back.

"It's cold outside, why don't you get in the carriage and talk."

Mo Yan smiled slightly, with an idea in mind.Mo Yan can trust Miss Zhang's character. The other party has a fiancé who is sick and consumptive. In order to earn money to treat her fiancé, Miss Zhang sang a ditty and will never leave her. Such a loving woman must not be bad.

Although she didn't understand what Mo Yan meant, Miss Zhang still got on the carriage generously.

There is a small red clay stove on the carriage, and a charcoal basin is placed.After Miss Zhang got into the carriage, she rubbed her cheeks with her hands and asked with a smile, "Miss, you let me get into the carriage. Is there something wrong?"

"true."

Mo Yan thought for a while, but still didn't say anything about saving someone last time. On the one hand, this matter was a shadow to Miss Zhang, and mentioning it would only add to the sadness. On the other hand, the person who saved someone was Wanqi Yuling , she didn't want to take revenge.

"I've heard you sing a ditty before. I don't know if you are interested in singing opera?"

Currently, Mo Yan has two playbooks on hand, one is "The Strange Case of Two Phoenixes", and the other is based on Yang Xiaohua's death, which has not yet been named.

Long-term cooperation with theatrical troupes is worse than forming your own troupe. In the future, the number of operas will gradually increase. Mo Yan wants to use these operas to promote some basic common sense to the common people.But she is a lady of the family, and she rarely has the opportunity to meet people of all levels and schools. After returning to Beijing, after delaying these days, she wanted to wait for the second brother to come back to discuss, but the second brother, Mo Qingyu, did not return for a long time.

"Miss, you have been to the south, I don't sing ditties now."

Miss Zhang sighed, feeling lost.After meeting a bully at that time, she was almost killed, but was rescued later, and someone gave her silver and asked her to live in Kyoto.Miss Zhang is not afraid of being retaliated, but she is worried that her fiancé has no one to take care of her at home, in case someone comes to her...

After coming to the capital, there are a lot of jobs here. Many rouge and gouache shops and silk and satin shops all recruit female assistants. She is beautiful and sharp-spoken, so she found a job in the silver building, barely enough to make ends meet.

"Looking at your clothes, I'm afraid your income is not high?"

Mo Yan doesn't want to force others to make things difficult, but she sincerely hopes that Miss Zhang can join her team, so that she can choose some reliable people in the future to form a troupe.The rehearsal is simple, and the play can start after the new year. From the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, the capital is full of excitement every day.

"Well, it's not like singing a ditty, but it's practical with money."
