Chapter 242 Stroke

The doubts on Shen Changfeng's face were about to solidify. He remembered that he was not exposed, so how could Gu Mingda guess so accurately.

"Master, how did you see it?"

Gu Mingda explained: "Niuniu just spoke to Mr. Big, and the attendants around him acted in guard mode the moment they heard the voice. These are not ordinary attendants."

"I also heard Niuniu mention that Mr. Da went to Baiyun Temple last time, which coincides with His Majesty's frequent visits to Baiyun Temple recently."

"The most important thing is that I just said it casually, but I didn't expect you to admit it directly. You can actually deny it."

Shen Changfeng:…

Shen Changfeng touched his nose when he heard this: "I just can't stand fraud."

Gu Mingda smiled and said: "The more you are deceived, the more you will remember it."

Seeing that they had finished speaking, Niu Niu tilted her head and asked, "How can Mr. Da be the emperor? Doesn't he have a queen?"

Shen Changfeng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty ascended the throne at a young age and has not yet had time to marry a wife. Although there are concubines in the harem these years, the middle palace is vacant."

Gu Mingda asked again what Niu Niu had said to the emperor last time.

"About his wife." Niu Niu said.

Gu Mingda immediately said: "Then don't say it. His Majesty probably doesn't like others to talk about his private affairs."

Niu Niu nodded in understanding.

Gu Mingda turned to Shen Changfeng and said: "Your status is different from others. You are the emperor's nephew, so you must know more than us. Mother should have taught you that the emperor's private affairs should not be spread undisciplined."

When Shen Changfeng heard this, he nodded on his face, but felt guilty in his heart. He seemed to be muttering outside. Now that he saw his master telling Niu Niu so seriously, he realized that he should have done something wrong in the past.

"Did you write a poem today?" Gu Mingda changed the topic directly.

Shen Changfeng hesitated for a moment and said: "I did express my feelings, but I only wrote two sentences. I may have to think about it for a while before I can write it all."

Gu Mingda didn't urge her, but said: "It's good if you have this intention. Take your time and don't be in a hurry."

The carriage returned home, but before entering the door, they met someone from the Sun family on the roadside.

The Sun family sent someone to deliver the invitation, not to play somewhere else, but to enter the theater.

"Master Gu, this is a play written by my master and his wife. It's okay, so you must appreciate it." The servant explained with a smile.

When the Gu family heard about this, they were all surprised.

Only Zhang Yunniang and Liu Xiaoru were happy for Mrs. Li.

"I heard that she was going to write a storybook on the way to Beijing, but I didn't expect that it would be in the theater so quickly. It shows that she wrote the storybook very well."

Niu Niu was also very excited: "Did anyone play the roles of my parents and Aunt Liu? They actually sang about what happened in our family! I wonder if I am included in the play?"

Gu Mingda touched his daughter's little face and said, "Probably not without you. Children as old as you in the troupe can't even perform on stage."

Niu Niu was not discouraged when she heard this and said, "It will be great if you sing our family's story!" Gu Mingda guessed that there were probably people who helped to move into the theater so quickly.

The next night, when the Gu family arrived at the entrance of the theater, they saw shopkeeper Luo and Sun Jiaxing.

Sun Jiaxing explained softly: "It was originally written as a storybook. After my wife finished writing it, I helped polish it and revise it. After I finished revising it, I still felt unsure, so on the advice of my colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, I asked Mr. Zhan for advice."

This Lord Zhan is no one else. He is a Hanlin scholar and one of the current ministers of the cabinet. It would be very difficult for others to meet him, but Sun Jiaxing and him are both colleagues of the Hanlin Academy.

Mr. Zhan was an old fancier. He also wrote many scripts and opera scripts. He also had a theater at home. He liked Sun Jiaxing's scripts after reading them and suggested that Sun Jiaxing compile the scripts into a play.

Today is the first episode of this drama.

Sun Jiaxing and Li were very nervous, fearing that the audience would not buy it.

At this time, Mrs. Li said to Zhang Yunniang and Liu Xiaoru: "I'm really afraid that those actors will be kicked off the stage while singing."

Liu Xiaoru consoled her: "It shouldn't be the case, Sister Li, you are overthinking it. A story like Master Zhan that big shots like is definitely not bad. If not, there is still our braised food!"

Liu Xiaoru had just learned from Shopkeeper Luo that today was the first time for the play to be performed, and it was also a linkage with Braised Food.

The Luo family has now opened a braised food shop in the capital, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Although the braised food shop has prospered with its unique flavor since it opened, its popularity has still not spread.

The Luo family still has two stores under preparation. Shopkeeper Luo attaches great importance to this rehearsal and goes to the theater to watch in person. He also bought a large number of theater tickets to give to restaurant guests.

The play has not yet begun, but at first glance, it is full of guests.

After a moment of greetings, Shopkeeper Luo and Sun Jiaxing continued to welcome guests at the entrance of the theater.

Sun Jiaxing also gave a lot of theater tickets to his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy. Because of his generosity, he often invited his colleagues to have dinner with Shangfeng. Now that he has been appreciated by Mr. Zhan, the senior with a tricky personality no longer dares to embarrass him.

At this time, in the private room of the theater, Mrs. Li was also praising Niuniu and said to Zhang Yuniang in a low voice: "Niuniu is really a little lucky star. Once she comes to my house, her godfather can get rid of a bad habit. I really wish that Niuniu could be with her every day." They all live in my house.”

After hearing this, Zhang Yunniang immediately said: "Master Sun, what's wrong with him? He is also a rare good man."

Li said: "He used to hold back and not tell me anything, but now that we have talked, he discusses everything with me and is more understanding of my difficulties than before."

"You know, my mother-in-law always preferred the second and third bedrooms in the past, but this time she wanted to stay in her hometown again. We had only been in Beijing for a few days, and something happened again with the second and third bedrooms. They even went to the Yamen. The old lady I hurriedly asked someone to send a letter to my husband to help them settle the matter."

"My husband-in-law was cruel this time. Not only did he not help with the activities, he also wrote a letter back and severely reprimanded his two younger brothers."

"The yamen had already received my husband's advice, so naturally they handled the matter impartially. The second and third bedrooms were severely dealt with, and they had to give up most of their family property before they could escape."

"It's not enough for them to be safe. They still act recklessly. They even made my mother-in-law so angry that she had a stroke!"

Zhang Yuniang was immediately surprised when she heard this.

"How long have you been away from home? Why did the old lady fall ill?"

Mrs. Li nodded when she heard this, and took out the handkerchief to wipe the non-existent tears from the corner of her eyes: "Yes, how pitiful the God is, the old lady has been worrying about the second and third houses for her whole life, who would have thought that she would be harmed by them again! "

Zhang Yuniang asked again: "The old lady has suffered a stroke. Who is taking care of her now? Will she let you go back?"
