Chapter 123: take a bow

Chapter 123 Curtain Call

ps: Ask for tickets, please recommend, it’s the last day at the end of the month, if you have a monthly pass, I hope you can give me one!

On the morning of March 20th, the Shaweditch area was originally a gathering place for the poor and evil, but at this time there were all kinds of gorgeous carriages on the road.

One carriage after another slowly passed through the streets of Shoreditch, and the already congested streets became even more congested at this time.

Combined with the uneven streets in the original Shoreditch area, this caused the carriage congestion.

Of course, at this time, the poor dare not compete with these rich or noble people, they are not qualified.

Therefore, a large number of poor people can only stand around, hoping to pass quickly.

At this time, it is time to test your eyesight. People with low status should move away consciously, allowing the carriages with high status to pass first.

It took ten minutes of ink smearing before the order of passage was fixed, and the whole street became smooth.

On the other hand, the pedestrians on the road were slowly relieved. After all, they didn't have as much time as these noble lords. If they waste too much time, they will have problems with their daily livelihood.

When the carriages finally passed, Zipa, who was guarding the side of the road, breathed a sigh of relief.

As a messenger, his duty is to deliver the letter to its proper place. Every day when he gets off, he will lie on his wooden bed, so tired that he doesn’t want to move, and he doesn’t want to open his eyes.

However, he cherishes this job very much, which is the source of his family's support.

Fortunately, the traffic jam was not too long today, otherwise he would not be able to complete the task today.

"Hey, buddy, do you know why we have so many rich people here?"

Looking at the gradually clearing streets, Zipa couldn't help but asked the smooth-looking guy beside him.

Although there are holes in his hat, his first impression in the eyes of others is that he is a smooth person.

"Hey! This matter has been spread for a long time. His Majesty the King invited the nobles and officials to go to the theater together!"

The sleek buddy smiled and shook his head with an envious expression on his face.

"What? Are you sure? His Majesty the King will watch dramas? Isn't this what we ordinary people with no money watch?"

Zipa feels that the world is abnormal, God! His Majesty the King can watch what the poor like to watch.

"Yes! Who would have thought of this, maybe His Majesty the King has changed his taste!"

"You don't know about this!" Behind the two of them, a thin monkey-like guy interjected.

Zipa looked at the dozens of hats on the rags in front of him, and immediately knew his identity, a businessman with a street stall.

"I heard that our Majesty Edward does not like hunting like his father, His Majesty Henry VIII, but likes watching dramas!"

It seems that Zipa and the two listened more seriously, the hat merchant spoke more flavorfully, and moved his mouth faster!

"His Majesty the King not only sent people to acquire the four major theaters including the Rose Theater, but also spent money to renovate them."

"And this time, His Majesty the King asked someone to write a drama book, and today he invites noble lords and wealthy businessmen to watch it together!"

"It's going to be at the Rose Theater. Now hundreds of people are gathered around the theater, for fear of any accident! Tsk tsk!"

As he spoke, the businessman couldn't help sighing, and smacked his mouth.

Around, the people who were crowded together also started to discuss, the content was similar, it was nothing more than the content of the king watching a play.

The Hanseatic businessman Max Leutz, as a well-known businessman of the Hanseatic League in London, has a wealth of first-class wealth, so he also has a share in this invitation.

The last time he heard that the London businessman begged to see Edward, he was frightened for a while, and he also quickly begged to see Edward, but Edward refused.

So, he left a gift of five hundred pounds and left.

After some time, he was relieved to find that Edward had not issued any regulations to deal with the Hanseatic merchants.

However, he felt uneasy without seeing Edward in person.

His carriage was the second batch to pass. Apart from the nobles, he followed the ministers and parliamentarians. Of course, there were also some top businessmen in London.

In less than a moment, Mark came to the Rose Theater, but at the entrance of the theater, there were neat grids drawn with lime, and the size of those grids was exactly the size of a carriage.

He also found that the closer the grid is to the entrance of the theater, the higher his master status is.

But the grid closest to the entrance of the theater was empty. He knew that it was for the king.

But his groom came to a grid that belonged to him under the guidance of a special person.

With the support of the groom, Mark got out of the car, looked carefully, and found that there was a small sign in front of each grid, and his sign read Mark Leutz in Latin.

When he came to the front of the theater, he found that the walls of the theater were all red, and he also asked people to draw a lot of rose patterns on the walls.

Even the gate is covered with rose patterns.

Welcome by two rows of beautiful and energetic girls, Mark walked into the theater.

And a maid walked up to him, guided Mark, and took him to a back position.

Beside him were some businessmen from the Hanseatic League, and Mark hurriedly greeted them.

"Stand up!!" After some time, he heard a voice, and then he and the people around him all stood up.

"By the grace of God, Edward VI, King of England, France, and Ireland, Husband of the Queen of Scots, Keeper of the Faith, Head of the Church of England and Ireland, to—"

As the big man shouted, everyone stood up and bowed to Edward who came at the door.

"Participate in Your Majesty—"

Edward walked in straight, without even looking at the people standing, he found the front box and sat down.

"The ceremony is over—" the etiquette officer said directly.

Mark and a group of people sat down and began to enjoy the drama.

As a successful businessman, he has almost figured out all about London. Drama is something that ordinary people at the bottom like to watch.

And upper-class people such as nobles are basically unheard of. For them, it is a shameful thing to have a hobby with common people.

So, the Bishop Thomas and the Duke of Houghton who are currently sitting there look confused. They don't understand why they are sitting here.

Basically, Edward sent an invitation letter, and they directly ordered the housekeeper to prepare for action, and they didn't know the details.

These senior nobles and important ministers of the Privy Council sat in the second row behind Edward, which was also a box seat.

Suddenly, the red curtain opened on the stage ahead, and a well-dressed middle-aged man stood in the center of the stage.

The middle-aged man bowed forward, and then said: "The large-scale historical drama "Henry VII" has officially started!"

After speaking, people automatically left the stage, and a child came on stage, he was Henry VII.

Henry VII was very magical when he was a child. When he was just born, lightning appeared in the sky, and a red cloud appeared above his mother's room.

Once, he got lost in the forest because of his playfulness.

When he was thirsty, he suddenly discovered a hot spring; when he was hungry, fruit fell from the tree; when he was tired and sleepy, a doe would warm him up.

Miraculously, three days later, he automatically returned to his lost location and found his family.

In short, since childhood, he has been a miraculous person. People unconsciously like him and are willing to help him.

So, he got a nickname - God's favorite boy.

Then the villain Richard III appeared on the stage, and the actors described in detail how Richard III won the throne.

And after he waited for the throne, there were droughts, floods, etc. in England, and the people of England were living in dire straits.

The actors portrayed it very well, expressing the pain of ordinary people at the moment of disaster very well, and deeply reflecting the pain of the English people.

Then it was to protect the heir of the Lancaster family—the fourteen-year-old Henry.

Many nobles have gone through untold hardships and various difficulties, but under the care of God, they encountered various coincidences, which also interspersed with the ridiculous behavior and language of some stupid officials sent by Richard III when they captured Henry.

After that, Henry VII, under the guard of family guards and loyal nobles, finally came to England's territory in France-Brittany.

Later, when Richard III sent someone to assassinate and kidnap Henry VII, he was cracked by the rational Henry.

After that, the plot reached a climax, and King Richard VIII of France was very interested in the arrival of Henry VII.

So began a series of betting plots between Henry VII and Richard VIII.

Facing Richard VIII's five difficult problems, the witty Henry VII used his clever mind and under the blessing of God, he successfully avoided them one by one.

After that, he won some rewards and was able to hire thousands of mercenaries to return to England and start to regain his throne.

So the fantasy-filled battle to regain the throne began. The 2,000 mercenaries led by Henry VII, who had a smooth journey, fought against Richard III's 10,000-strong army.

Specific omission, but adhering to God's will, Henry VII finally became king.

After five hours, at three o'clock in the afternoon, this magnificent Henry VII finally came to an end.

Edward, little Lolita, and a kind of invited ministers and nobles were also starving.

With Edward taking the lead and applauding, the play finally achieved a complete success.

So, under the thanks of the actors, Edward took little Lolita's hand and walked out of the theater.

And a group of ministers and nobles are still discussing the plot.

There are both surprises and the boldness of the actors, who can actually play kings and nobles, and some people talk about the thrilling plot.

But Edward returned to Whitehall Palace with little Lolita.

While waiting for him to feast, Lucy said that someone asked to see him.
