Chapter 124 Xiaojiu's special hobby
Xiao Bi and Huan Yu came to the cabin door and happened to hear their conversation.
She pouted and walked up to Xiao Siyi: "My little aunt is talking bad about me behind my back!"
Xiao Siyi pursed her lips and smiled: "I am complimenting you. Besides, in front of so many people, how can it be behind your back?"
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Bi to sit next to her, and quickly poured a cup of tea: "Master Jiu is helping you out of kindness, and I would like to offer you a cup of tea to express my gratitude."
"That's pretty much it!" Xiao Bi happened to be a little thirsty, so she took the tea cup and took a big sip.
Xiao Xuan gave Huan Yu a thumbs up.
In the past, when Xiaojiu was angry, the brothers took turns to fight, but it was difficult to achieve results for a while.
But it only took Brother Huan less than a quarter of an hour to calm down the little bully of their Xiao family.
This kind of ability really makes him admire him sincerely.
Huan Yu curled his lips and sat down beside him.
Xiaojiu is a girl who doesn't need anyone to coax her. She doesn't even need persuasion for such trivial matters as today.
He also poured himself a cup of tea and listened to the aunt and nephew talking while drinking.
In fact, Xiao Siyi only had a face-to-face encounter with Zhuge Yue. She was disgusted with the other person's too explicit eyes, so she immediately retreated to the cabin.
In addition, Xiao Bi and others left Huafang later, so she only heard a part of what happened later and did not understand the real situation.
Seeing that her nephews and nieces were all back at this time, she couldn't help but ask Xiao Bi about what happened outside the cabin just now.
"Xiao Jiu, where did that person come from? Ordinary businessmen shouldn't be that bold."
Xiao Bi said: "My little aunt guessed right, this boat is so conspicuous, he can know our identity just by sending people to inquire.
If he was just an ordinary merchant, he would never dare to take the initiative to provoke him.
What's more, he is still from Liguo..."
"Li Guoren?" Xiao Siyi called softly.
Xiao Bi nodded: "He probably didn't lie about this, but this also proves that his identity is very suspicious.
The Wei Dynasty was far more powerful than Li Guo. Businessmen from Li Guo traveled thousands of miles to come to the Wei Dynasty for the sole purpose of making money and never to cause trouble.
The reason why this man dared to act like this, apart from being romantic and lustful, is probably because he is used to being domineering.
He completely forgot that this is the capital of the Wei Dynasty, not the capital of Liguo that can tolerate his wantonness."
Xiao Siyi frowned slightly: "It seems that he may have something to do with the Li Kingdom royal family."
Xiao Xuan on the side smiled and said: "So what? Although Li Guo is considered wealthy, its national power is much weaker than that of Wei.
Even if their emperor came to Wei Jing in person, he would not dare to indulge too much.
What's more, since he refused to reveal his identity, he deserved to be sent to the government office by Xiaojiu to be imprisoned."
Xiao Bi didn't take this matter to heart at all. The reason why she was angry just now was purely because her little aunt was offended.
Now that the matter is basically settled, how can she still be willing to talk about those unhappy people and things?
Hearing the excitement outside the cabin, she raised her voice and asked: "Brother Seventh and Eighth Brother, is the stage coming soon?"
The stage she was talking about was actually a large ship that had been rearranged and decorated.
Led by the government and funded by wealthy households in Beijing, the most famous opera troupes and actors in Beijing were invited here to sing all night for the people of the capital on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In fact, most people are like Huan Ji. They don't really like to listen to operas, let alone understand them. They basically just come to watch the fun.
Needless to say, the rich and powerful people all hire their own big boats for night cruises. Even ordinary people are willing to spend a few coins to hire a small fishing boat with their relatives and friends to join in the fun.
As for what the famous actors sang, many people didn't care at all.
Xiao Yan was lying by the window. When he heard Xiao Bi's question, he turned around and said with a smile: "It's almost there. There are too many boats. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find a good spot."
Xiao Shuo also smiled and said: "What do you all want to eat? The boat selling food is here."
The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a good time for watching the moon and listening to operas, but also a good time for small businesses and vendors to make a fortune.
They shuttled on the river in a light boat, and their income in one night was at least as much as a month's daily income.
Hearing his question, everyone told Xiao Shuo what they wanted to eat.
Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of snacks, and the play on the stage officially started.
What Xiao Yan just said was just a joke. Mrs. Guo's family has been running a painting boat on the Yudai River for generations, and they are clearly the leaders in this industry.
Not to mention that no one dared to compete with her, even the yamen responsible for managing the stage reserved the best position for her in advance.
Of course, the government officials mainly look at the faces of the distinguished guests. After all, those who can afford to hire Guo's boat are definitely either rich or noble.
As soon as the boat stopped, Xiao Bi and others walked out of the cabin.
Hua Xiaohan smiled like a child, pointed at the characters on the stage and said to Hua Qinghan: "Brother, is this the Linglong girl from "The Legend of Linglong" that you and Xiao Wei just wrote at the beginning of the year?"
Hua Qinghan smiled and nodded, but there was a hint of bitterness in her heart.
In just six months, everything has changed.
The play script he and Xiaojiu co-wrote has been rehearsed, but there has been no follow-up.
Like most young men who study poetry and books, he does not have much time and energy to spend on eating, drinking and having fun.
Of course, Xiao Jiu is the same, but most of her time and energy are used to practice martial arts.
But human energy is limited, and everyone will do something they like in their free time.
After following Xiao Jiu for nearly eight years, she likes to listen to operas in her free time, so naturally he can only follow her to listen to operas.
It didn't take long for him to discover that Xiao Jiu's hobby was a bit special.
Her likes are completely different from other people's likes.
Others like to listen to operas, either because they like the singing, or they like the storyline, or even worse, they like a certain famous actor.
But Xiao Jiu is not like that, she just comes here for happiness.
Not to mention the tragic ending, even the tragic process is unacceptable.
At first she forced others to change the script, but later she simply wrote it herself.
But most things in the world look easier than they do.
Although Xiao Jiu is not bad at poetry and calligraphy, she spends too little energy and is inevitably stretched when she starts writing. Even she can't read what she writes, so she asked him to ghostwrite it.
When many theater troupes learned about this, they all asked Xiaojiu for new playbooks.
But the stories they wrote were too pursuit of beauty, lacking conflicts and ups and downs, and very few of them were actually staged.
Unexpectedly, the last film "Linglong Biography" became the opening scene of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
Hua Xiaohan didn't notice anything strange about his brother and just introduced the famous actors on the stage to Huan Ji.
