Chapter 36
Lin Jiabao went to the magistrate's mansion as a guest at the magistrate's wife's kind invitation. The prefect's mansion is not big, and the layout is very simple and grand. The cherry blossoms in May are already in full bloom, decorating the backyard and looking very beautiful.
After lunch, Madam Zhifu invited the best theater troupe in Los Angeles to sing. The magistrate's wife specially asked Lin Jiabao to choose the plays. Lin Jiabao looked at the play signs, and found that he hadn't seen them, so he picked one at random. Lin Jiabao ate tea and watched the play, thinking it was very interesting. Seeing that Lin Jiabao was watching seriously, the magistrate's wife said happily, "Mr. Lin also likes to watch operas?" The magistrate's wife is already in her thirties, and she loves to go to theaters most of the weekdays. She didn't expect that Lin Jiabao also liked operas at a young age.
"The empress likes to watch it very much, and I often watch it with her. But the repertoire in the palace is different from the repertoire here." Most of the repertoires in the palace are specially arranged by the royal family, and many taboo places are strictly controlled. They are all auspicious and lively dramas.
The prefect's wife heard that Lin Jiabao often accompanied the empress to the theater, and thought that Lin Fangjun was really favored.
A play called Yuanyangkou is being performed on the stage. This play tells the story of a scholar named Liang Xian and a daughter of Lin Yuan'er who fall in love at first sight after a spring rain, and they fall in love because of a mandarin duck. After that, the two eloped regardless of their family's opposition, and they got married and lived in a place where no one knew. Although life is difficult, both of them enjoy it. Lin Yuan'er relies on an outstanding female celebrity to help Liang Xian study. Liang Xian lived up to Lin Yuan'er's hope and was admitted to the top prize. However, the good times didn't last long, and Liang Xian was favored by the princess and made her son-in-law. Liang Xian had no choice but to abandon Lin Yuan'er for fame and fortune, but Lin Yuan'er could not wait for Liang Xian to come back for a long time, and finally heard the news that Liang Xian had become a son-in-law. Despondent, holding the mandarin duck buckle and throwing himself into the Luohe River.
Lin Yuan'er's Huadan on the stage has a beautiful face and excellent singing and writing. The infatuated, sad and desperate singing is so moving that Lin Jiabao couldn't help but shed tears when she saw it. After the play, Lin Jiabao specially called Hua Dan who played Lin Yuan'er to come forward, and after a closer look at that Hua Dan was also a double, he immediately felt a little kind. "You sing really well!" Lin Jiabao gestured to Shu Qin who was behind him, and Shu Qin stepped forward to reward that Hua Dan. "Thank you nobleman for the reward!" Hua Dan took the heavy reward, was very grateful in her heart, knelt down and kowtowed and retreated.
Hua Dan returned to the troupe, and several twins who had a good relationship with him stepped forward to surround him. "I heard that the one watching the show today is His Royal Highness's favorite side gentleman, isn't he beautiful? Alas, it's worth it for Shuang'er to be as good as him! Tell us quickly... By the way, there is something for you A reward?"
Another Shuang'er said: "Yes, except for the poor peasants who can't marry a wife, how can anyone marry Shuang'er as a wife!" Shuang'er's status in the Xuanyuan Empire has always been very low. "I heard that the side gentleman was born as a palace servant. I hope that he will always be loved by His Royal Highness in the future. Then the status of our twins will be improved.
" He is also very gentle, and has no airs of being a nobleman at all. May God bless him. Look..." Hua Dan opened the bag of rewards, and the silver fruits in it dazzled their eyes.
