Chapter 225 Watching the Show
When the young ladies found that Xia Daohua was not accompanied by her maid, some of them curled their lips slightly and began to roll their eyes silently.
Xia Daohua secretly smiled. If I really brought a maid, it would be inconvenient for me to go in and out. How could I easily take out a small electric scooter? Besides, I am just an ordinary citizen, so it is not appropriate for me to have a maid!
Xia Daohua didn't care, but someone cared for her.
Xie Fanglan frowned slightly, and the young princess Gu Shanrou also frowned.
After a while, Gu Shanrou took Xia Daohua's hand and said, "Sister Xia, please walk with me." Xie Fanglan and Gu Shanrou exchanged glances, and Xie Fanglan warmly greeted the other ladies and went to the front.
Although there are many proud young ladies who look down on their heads, there are also many who are smart and have good vision. Judging from the situation in front of her, it is obvious that the lady from the Xia family is an acquaintance of the young princess Gu Shanrou, so she had better not offend others.
So they all responded to Xie Fanglan, talking about what opera they wanted to listen to and what dishes they wanted to eat, and walked forward in a lively manner.
Gu Shanrou pulled Xia Daohua and paused. After a while, the two of them and the maid behind Gu Shanrou walked behind the crowd.
As the distance between them and the crowd grew, Gu Shanrou gently patted Xia Daohua's hand:
"Sister Xia, aren't you angry when they treat you like that?"
Xia Daohua smiled and said, "What's there to be upset about? The people I care about never treat me like that."
Gu Shanrou's sparkling eyes suddenly shone brighter when she heard this: "Sister Xia, I knew you were an outstanding person!"
Xia Daohua said seriously:
"You are mistaken. I am a most vulgar person. My eyes light up when I see money. Otherwise, I wouldn't be thinking about how to open a shop and how to make money all day long."
As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing.
Little Princess Gu Shanrou also laughed: "Haha, you said it so seriously that you almost scared me."
The two chatted for a while, and Xia Daohua revealed her intention and asked the young princess Gu Shanrou if she wanted to get a share in her business. Of course, Xia Daohua didn't need Gu Shanrou to pay, she just wanted to borrow her brand to make things easier for herself.
Although Li Gan's maternal family is quite powerful, Xia Daohua feels that she cannot rely solely on that family.
With the participation of Gu Shanrou, his profits would be diluted a little, but he would have more than one banner to use as a pretext.
Gu Shanrou immediately began to think seriously, and after a moment she said to Xia Daohua:
"I can't decide this matter by myself. I need to discuss it with my family. When there is a result, I will send someone to send you a message."
Xia Daohua agreed happily: "Okay. Wait for the good news."
As they talked, they walked hand in hand slowly along the road, continuing to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Xie's Xianmei Garden.
The first beautiful sight after entering the Fairy Plum Garden is a forest of white plum blossoms, called the Sea of Fragrant Snow. This is the forest that Xia Daohua saw when she entered the yard just now.
The second most beautiful sight is a forest of red plum blossoms, called Flaming Mountain.
Gu Shanrou and Xia Daohua were busy talking in the back, but the ladies in the front had already entered the Huoyan Mountain.
Everyone looked at the brilliant red clouds that were like a dream and couldn't help but stop and admire them quietly for a while.
After a while, the ladies woke up from the shock brought by the beautiful scenery and said many compliments.
Xie Fanglan was both happy and proud, with a smile all over her face that she couldn't hide.
The scene was extremely harmonious for a moment, and both the guests and the hosts were enjoying themselves.
They passed through the Flaming Mountain and came to the banquet area in front, where they sat down to rest.
This place is an open viewing platform, and a stage is set up a few hundred steps away from the viewing platform. The stage has been set up, but the troupe is still backstage, waiting for the host to order the show.
When Xia Daohua and Gu Shanrou arrived, several ladies were already getting a little impatient waiting.
However, although Xia Daohua had no power or influence, she was just a commoner, and might even be a merchant. But the little princess Gu Shanrou was not someone to be trifled with.
Gu Shanrou has a peaceful temperament and doesn't like to make enemies with others.
But her uncle, Gu Mingzhen, was a man of unstable temper. No one knew what words would offend him, and no one knew when he would come to settle accounts with you.
With him protecting her, no one dared to bully Gu Shanrou no matter how gentle and docile she was.
So, when Gu Shanrou appeared, there was a burst of greetings and greetings. Xia Daohua, who was walking beside her, was only a few steps behind and avoided the greetings, but instantly received a lot of huge roll of eyes.
Xia Daohua couldn't help laughing when looking at these girls.
She looked at them and felt like she was just looking at a group of children.
In fact, at this age, they can already say they are kissing each other.
Some people have even already arranged a marriage, and will be married to someone else after a while. They will be the mistress of the house, taking care of their husband and children, and managing a household or even a family.
However, Xia Daohua knew that they were no different from adults in this time and space and could not be treated as children, but when looking at them, she couldn't help but feel that she was looking at a group of children.
The order for ordering operas was passed around among everyone, and after some politeness, the young princess Gu Shanrou was allowed to order first.
Xia Daohua watched with great interest as everyone from Gu Shanrou to Xie Fanglan and then to the other ladies requested several short plays that she had never heard of before, and then the actors came on stage and began to sing.
Xia Daohua didn't understand a word they said.
Alas, she couldn't understand Peking opera, not to mention that the operas sung here were not Peking operas. It seemed to be the Great Chu Dynasty's own type of opera, which was completely different from the various operas Xia Daohua had seen in her previous life.
Although she couldn't understand a word of it, the rhythm and charm, the singing style and appearance, the steps and postures were all quite attractive. Xia Daohua watched with relish, guessing the plot based on the movements and expressions of the opera actors on the stage, and she was very happy to imagine it.
In the blink of an eye, the play was over and the ladies gave tips one after another.
Xia Daohua hesitated for a moment and also scattered a handful of copper coins.
This behavior earned her a lot of cold stares.
That's right, everyone else gave silver ingots, but she gave copper coins, and she counted them, as if she was afraid of giving too much. How could those rich ladies look down on such a stingy person?
Xia Daohua didn't care. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. However, she frowned slightly and quietly spit the tea into her handkerchief.
She turned around and looked around, and found that Xie Fanglan, who was supposed to be sitting at her seat, had disappeared at some point.
There were also two families of young ladies who disappeared.
One of them was a little girl with big eyes, dark skin, and a head full of jewelry. She rolled her eyes at Xia Daohua several times along the way.
The other one was the chubby girl who had gone shopping with Xie Fanglan in the store on the opening day of "Daohuaxiang".
