Chapter 443 Listening to Opera
To be honest, when Yuan Ruan got off the boat for the first time and saw the singing and dancing, food and bonfire culture that was completely different from that in the capital, he was dumbfounded.
It can also integrate into local customs and practices.
He knows how to have fun. He really knows how to have fun.
…
Another day, the ship stopped for the last battle before reaching its destination.
We did not disembark that day.
The warm afternoon sun and the swaying ship made people drowsy.
Yuan Ruan turned over and rested his head on Rongpin's knees, the fragrant scent lingering around his nose. He listened to the "Ya Ya Yi Ya" tune of Wu Nong Ruan in the distance and the beautiful woman dancing gracefully.
Although it is still very innovative, Yuanruan is still a little tired after the tiring journey for several days.
Her eyes blinked, and if the Third Prince had not pinched her cheek, she would have fallen asleep again.
Qi Yue slapped the back of the Third Prince's hand hard. With a "pop" sound, the expressionless Third Prince's face turned red and warm.
Qi Yue: "Be gentle, Jiuer's face is red."
The third prince bared his teeth, looked at the back of his hand which was almost swollen, and remained silent.
At this time, the beautiful dancing lady slowly left the stage, and then the sound of stringed instruments stopped and the sound of suona began.
A group of burly warriors came up from behind the tent. Some were dressed in beautiful green clothes, holding iron hoops and walking on stilts. There was also an ugly guy who curled up his legs and pretended to be a dwarf less than one meter tall.
They are the most famous opera troupe in the area, and the play they performed is "On the Justice".
The singing of these characters is not that good, especially some of them have rough voices, as if they are singing folk songs, but the sentence "the description is adapted from local real cases" is attractive.
This play is about.
The bully Li Ao in the city, relying on the power of his adoptive father Zhixian, is tyrannical and flirts with all the beauties in the city. Zhixian is kind and gentle, and can't see through the bully Li Ao's true nature. The villagers love Zhixian, and can't bear to see Zhixian, who has no children, suffer, so they are more patient.
Chief Clerk Zhou Dawen's new concubine, Chen Meilan, was extremely beautiful. When she entered the mansion, Li Ao took a look at her. Li Ao wanted to take Chen Meilan for himself, but Zhou Dawen refused.
Li Ao couldn't help it, and first deliberately set a bribery trap for the chief clerk Zhou Dawen to force Zhou Dawen to confess. Then, Li Ao bribed the government office and wanted to kill people privately. Fortunately, the yamen runners didn't dare to do so.
At this time, Li Ao had already gone to Zhou Dawen's residence to tease Chen Meilan, and even forced Chen Meilan to flee to the mountains, where she was captured by bandits.
Li Ao was so lustful that he secretly made a deal with the bandits in order to win Chen Meilan back. He gave the bandits a map of the county town and secretly opened the door for them, allowing them to harm their neighbors.
But the net of heaven is vast and long, and nothing can escape it. Fortunately, the magistrate was not completely deceived. After being attacked by bandits, the magistrate felt that something was wrong and once again investigated Zhou Dawen in prison. Seeing Zhou Dawen crying out for injustice, the magistrate decided to reopen the case.
Li Meilan and Zhou Dawen jointly sued Li Ao. In the face of a large amount of evidence, Li Ao was still arrogant. Not only did he refuse to plead guilty, he also threatened Zhou Dawen's family in private. The magistrate was furious and in order to punish the law and avenge the people, he resolutely executed Li Ao.
Hearing this, Yuanruan suddenly heard Qi Yue and clicked his tongue.
She looked up and saw a strange look in Qi Yue's eyes.
Yuan Ruan was a little surprised. Thinking about how Qi Yue grew up outside the palace, maybe this was not something she was surprised about?!
Thinking this way, she asked softly, "Seventh Sister, have you heard a lot of similar dramas?"
