Chapter two hundred and ninth pity
Su Qiongzhi is rich herself, and although she is a little bit in the yard, she is very lively.
Especially the stage of the Chen Mansion was just built, but it is almost the same as that of ordinary wealthy families.
The stage is built against the wall, and the base is a three-sided viewed on the top of the base about a trough of trough. There are four bright columns at the front of the base, which together with the rear column supports the wooden ceiling. There are also seven large urns buried under the platen. The ceiling and large urns are for sound resonance, and Chen Shou has never even seen it.
The audience didn't know what to say about joking. As soon as Chen Shou arrived at the gate of the yard, he heard laughing inside. The maids and mothers all turned their lips and turned their heads, bent down and trembled, and even Hong'er, who had always been calm, was trembling with laughter.
"It is better to have fun than to have fun alone. Why are you so happy? You won't wait for me to come."
When Su Qiongzhi saw that he was coming, she quickly put down the snacks in her hand and clapped her hands, "It's still Sister Yue'er who has the face, so she invited you in one go."
Chen Shou glared at her and smiled and said, "You are just scheming and celebrating your birthday without hiding it. It's like you invited me and didn't come. It's all on my head."
Su Qiongzhi held his hand and pressed it on the seat, smiling and said, "It's not okay if it's all mine. Look, these girls are singing really well."
“What are you singing?”
Chen Shou didn't know much about Daqi's opera, and didn't know how far it had developed.
"The Legend of the Eyes of Journey to the West is about a monkey and a pig, protecting a monk to travel to Tianzhu. It's so interesting."
Chen Shou laughed silently. The time-traveling seniors of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but write a record of Journey to the West. But who could memorize the record of Journey to the West? Maybe it would be tampered with something. Su Qiongzhi was still pointing at a child on the stage and said, "Look at that child, Zhu Wuneng, has such a big belly. I just asked Su Li, saying that he was stuffed with a pillow. There was a tail behind the monkey's butt. Are you not interesting to say?"
"What's the fun about this? If you like it, borrow it from me and I'll plug it in for you some other day."
In front of so many people, Su Qiongzhi blushed, punched him on the shoulder, and said angrily: "I said don't let you call him, you have to go."
Li Lingyue smiled and pounded Chen Shou, and Chen Shou quickly smiled and said with apologies: "Sister Su, good sister, I was wrong. You have a lot of them, so forgive me."
When Su Qiongzhi heard this, she was angry and most of the time, but she couldn't give him a good face immediately, for fear of being laughed at by the little girls present.
Chen Shou kept apologizing, and then she looked a little clear. When she was angry, she was afraid that Chen Shou would annoy her. She secretly looked up and looked at her. Chen Shou was still smiling, so she dared to push and half-shou and said with a face half-swinging, "I don't know you."
"Sister is so generous. I've said a long time ago that Sister Su is the best. I don't know how taller the movies are than you little girls?"
Chen Shou laughed and heard the play, but he realized that although these little girls dressed up in fancy style, their lyrics and figure were very elegant, and there were many sentences that he could not hear the allusions.
"Good life, reward!"
Chen Shou shouted casually, but didn't realize that there were rules. Su Li immediately led seven or eight very young girls to him.
Chen Shou immediately frowned. Except for those who sang monkeys and pigs on stage, the other girls all had small paddy paddy jackets, wore a willow green sweat towel, and underneath were red flower-spreaded trousers, and also had trouser legs. There were braids on their heads, eyebrows and foreheads, and they were dressed exactly the same, which was very cute.
"So small? How many did you buy?"
Su Li smiled and said, "In addition, there are twelve people who didn't come backstage, the youngest is eight years old, and the older one is twelve. Kowtow to the master."
Several little girls kowtowed and stood up, very well-behaved.
Chen Shou's suspicion came immediately and asked, "Didn't it bought it from a man?"
Lu'er, who was behind Li Lingyue, saw that he looked bad, quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, these are all bought in the theater."
Chen Shou thought to himself that as soon as he was in charge of the government, he issued an edict to crack down on the children and children who were ridding the war and trafficking of women, children and children. In the chaotic times, these people made a fortune and did all their conscience.
He glanced at the one who was dressed as a pig and asked, "What's your name, where did you come from, and how did you enter the theater?"
Su Li said on the side: "Fang'er, the master is asking you something, I'm about to take off my outfit."
Little "Bajie" took off the pig's head mask and a big belly with a pillow stuffed with it. His face was exposed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his hair was wet and stuck to his ears. Although he was playing the role of a pig, he gave birth to a more beautiful girl than other girls.
"My master, my name is Fang'er, I am from Kaifeng Prefecture."
Chen Shou looked at Su Li in confusion. Su Li understood his meaning somewhat and quickly explained: "Master, these girls are all innocent families. Their parents sent them to the Liyuan to study music in order to find a wealthy family in the future, or to have a banquet music or to call girls, and live a more decent life than outside."
If your parents sign a contract with the theater boy, they will be life and death. When you learn skills, you will be beaten up and scolded easily, and you will not be quasi-life or death. At such young age, you have such a good attitude and are obviously the best among them, and you must have been beaten a lot.
Chen Shou lowered his head and pondered for a while, and sighed in his heart. In this era, productivity was very low. During Wei Yunse and Emperor Gengyuan, they plundered, annexed land, and imposed levies. There were many families who could give birth but not raise children, and sent their children to wealthy families, at least they could have enough food.
This is still the case at the foot of the emperor, let alone other places.
The land collected by the family was collected by himself accounted for 90% of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the population of Kaifeng Prefecture was 2 million, and only 100 households were confiscated. In other words, one in ten thousand people in Kaifeng Prefecture occupied 90% of the land. Others could only become their vassals, tenants, or simply slaves.
These little actors are too young and are not afraid of others. Seeing Chen Shou silently and not talking, they don’t know what’s wrong, but just took a look at Su Li.
Chen Shou shook his head and smiled and said, "Give me some money, Lu'er."
The little girls were very happy. They didn't have much idea about money. They only knew that they would be happy to send this thing to their homes.
After receiving the reward, a group of people started performing on stage again. Su Qiongzhi looked at Chen Shou with some displeasure and whispered: "What's wrong?"
She suspected that Chen Shou was angry with her. She was guarding so many people, but she was not good at letting her down and admitting her mistakes to him. Tears of grievance were rolling in her eyes.
Chen Shou didn't know what the woman was thinking. He smiled at her and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just think these children are a little pitiful. Look at the girls in Liangzhou, although they have no father, they learn to be a girl in Qinfengying. They buy dowry for them in the big camp, find a family for their husbands, marry and have children, and Qinfengying, a big backer, is not afraid of being bullied at any time. They are even better than their little pitiful life with fathers and mothers."
Chen Shou looked at the little girl who was performing hard on the stage and suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he could pacify the world for ten years and achieve peace for ten years, he would have to formulate a settlement system to allow widows, widows, elderly, orphans, orphans, and some to see them off.
Su Qiongzhi's beautiful eyes narrowed. Unexpectedly, Chen Shou was thinking about this. She looked at Chen Shou's side face carefully. In addition to being as handsome as before, she actually had a sacred meaning under the faint halo.
