Liu Jiqing knew what Jing Lun did from the Old Man Sun. He immediately wrote a note and sent it to the capital. If this message could attract the attention of those in the imperial court, there might be a chance for him to climb up a little bit more.
However, what he did not know was that the ministers of the imperial court had been completely silent for the past few days. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly in the face of the imperial court, so how could they be distracted by such a small matter?
No one knew what was going on outside, even though they didn't receive the recital, Liu Jiqing didn't have the time to lament over it.
The first white road of Qingyuan County was officially repaired. No one knew where Jiaoniang had learned the words to ask him to cut the ribbon and even make a speech.
Liu Jiqing's gloomy heart also warmed up. Parents, officials, parents, who wouldn't want to be loved and respected by the citizens during their term of office? Not to mention that Jiaoniang had already made people spread the news, almost all the people in the county knew that Eighteen Li Bridge's troupe didn't sing at Eighteen Li Bridge this year and wanted to move to Lin Family Village.
In the middle of August, when the peasants had finished their work in the fields and were sitting in the yard under the moonlight, they talked about the troupe. In this day and age, there were very few entertainments, and they could only listen to the liveliness outside.
Usually, Lin Family Village was like other villages that went to listen to the theatre early, but this year's theatre was sung in Lin Family Village, there was no need to go far, and some people's thoughts of earning money were revived.
This place was for making tea, and the other one for making tea. It wasn't expensive, after all, who would want to go so far as to spend so much money on a show?
Jiaoniang was not an ingenious person. She put the tofu in the ice cellar and frozen it into frozen tofu. She put a wok at the entrance of the village with fresh soy oil inside. She had Cheng Huanzhong set up a stall under the tree, put five pieces of frozen tofu in a row, and then poured Jiaoniang's seasoned sauce over it.
When they were experimenting at home, everyone in the family ate until their mouths were full of oil. Not only Frozen Tofu, Jiaoniang had also prepared some small vegetables, which could also be sold in one fry. The price was not expensive.
He also took out the soap he had prepared earlier and prepared to sell it. Thanks to the three days of heavy rain, Ye Xuan's fish basket also brought up a lot of fish. The smaller fish were washed by Wang Meihua and put on ice in the ice cellar.
On the morning when the filming crew was coming, Tieh Dan walked around the yard excitedly. He hadn't seen a play in his life yet, but Jiaoniang had a memory of watching a show, but unfortunately, she couldn't remember it clearly.
Seeing Tieh Dan walking around the yard anxiously, Wang Meihua pushed him away and let him go out to play. "If you're curious, then go to the village entrance and wait. Don't cause trouble in the yard."
Tieh Dan was waiting for these words. He pulled the orchids out while smiling, leaving the copper coins in the yard to babble for them. Wang Meihua had no choice but to put down what she was doing to coax him.
The village was brimming with the feeling of celebrating the new year. With a clever mind, he prepared some things at home to sell.
In the afternoon, the filming crew arrived outside of Lin Family Village. In front of them were five ox-carts, and on the ox-carts were piles of props, covered with black cloth.
The children of the village ran along the white road for over two miles to welcome them. They surrounded the ox-cart and cheered loudly, as if they were as crazy as the future generations chasing after their stars.
It was a hunchbacked old man in his fifties. His eyes were smiling, but he wasn't annoyed. Instead, he took out some candies from his pocket and distributed them to the children. Tieh Dan also got a piece of yellow candy that was the size of a thumb and was very happy.
Under the big tree at the entrance of Lin Family Village, the filming crew used wooden planks to build a stage that was half a person tall. Behind the stage, there was a makeup table and a place for them to stay.
The stage was red, and during the entire process, the crew busied themselves with building the stage.
Jiaoniang also went to take a look, as the brilliant and red troupe was especially attractive in this sparse place called Lin Family Village. The elderly gathered under the tree to watch the commotion.
Ji Dahe and the others had already buried the stone tablet at the entrance of Lin Family Village. They had also built a pavilion near the stone tablet, and the stone tablet was also covered with a red cloth and tied with red balls.
Until late at night, the village entrance lit up with torches that dyed the sky red. The children ran around like madmen, and the village was filled with the sounds of parents calling their children home.
Yu Shuang Lan had activated it that night, scaring the Madam Lin to the point of falling down while they were calling for help. When Jiaoniang heard the sound, she immediately went to find the stable woman in the village, while Qiu Ju also went to help heat up the water. The son of the Madam Lin did not come back from the county, and there were only the two of them in the village. Fortunately, the villagers were still awake and had rushed over to help.
Yu Shuang Lan was born and gave birth to her first child. She was born in the middle of the night, and the moment the child landed, half of the villagers who came to help were relieved.
"This child will definitely grow up to be someone who loves to play and cause trouble. Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to listen to a play?"
Madam Lin smiled, gave Yu Shuang Lan a Sweet Heart Egg to eat in front of her twin beds.
"It's a good thing that mother and son are safe. If you like to play, then just like to play."
Yu Shuang Lan was still weak, and was dissatisfied with the child. "I still want to go to the theatre tomorrow. What am I going to do this time?"
"Can't you watch the show on this day?" Madam Lin suppressed her words, looking at the red child with tender eyes, "This is all fated by the heavens, what can he do?"
Wang Meihua packed some eggs and meat and brought some sugar to congratulate him. Jiaoniang didn't wait for him to refuse, she just left the food in the kitchen and took Wang Meihua back with her.
Madam Lin's sister-in-law stayed behind to help take care of the follow-up work until midnight.
Early the next morning, Tieh Dan and the others went to the theater after breakfast. Some of them were singing and grumbling while the children stood far away to watch the show. From time to time, they would cover their mouths and laugh.
Now was not the time to sing, and there were few people who came. They would have to wait until morning people came from all over the place before they could sing.
This time, he was willing to bring the crew to this place because of the appearance of those big families in the village. In addition, since Lin Family Village was going to cut the lottery, the people from all over the countryside would come here and give them some popularity.
It was almost noon when the big families of the county rode their horses over. On the flat concrete road, they looked like a group of ants from afar.
Wu Sinan came with Liu Jiqing at the end. Under Jiaoniang's guidance, the chairs borrowed from each family were placed in a row directly facing the stage. Needless to say, Liu Jiqing was sitting in the first row.
Before the performance, he had to cut the ribbon. Liu Jiqing stood on the stage and spoke a few words of auspicious grandeur. He didn't waste any time and let others remove the red cloth on the stone tablet.
