Chapter 108
Mrs. Yi took Wang Jiazhi to the opera, probably because she had lost so much, so she showed special favor and allowed her and the other wives of officials to go to the opera.
Their social circles consisted of the same false emperors, and she, a humble merchant woman, was not qualified to join them.
There is another thing that Wang Jiazhi doesn't know. The ladies at the poker table are already aware of her relationship with Lao Yi. Although no one dares to gossip about Lao Yi because of his status, gossip is human nature, and it is inevitable that some groundless rumors will be revealed.
If Mrs. Yi brings her into the big circle of false imperial edicts again, it would be semi-public. This would not only embarrass her as the wife, but it would also be difficult to get rid of her in the future.
If I didn't have many acquaintances here today, I wouldn't have brought her here.
The performance on stage was "Peach Blossom Fan," and the performance was mediocre. Wang Jiazhi stared at the young man singing Yang Longyou, her eyes fixed on him. She didn't hear anyone talking to her.
When the song reached its climax, someone threw flowers and jewelry onto the stage.
Wang Jiazhi happened to be sitting in the middle, with people throwing things onto the stage from both sides. She looked to the left and saw a woman in her forties; she looked to the right and saw a girl in her twenties.
The middle-aged woman still looked very young, very slender and fair, with a slender figure. The girl was of medium height, with a round face and slanted eyes, very pretty. Although not as pretty as the middle-aged woman, she was younger.
According to Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Yi, the woman was the one who had passed away before the husband mentioned earlier. Later, the actor secretly hooked up with the girl again. The girl's parents had passed away, and her brother and sister-in-law had beaten and scolded her to no avail, so they simply split up the family and stopped communicating from then on.
Wang Jiazhi saw that the young man's appearance and singing skills were average, but he thought he was very good at flattery.
According to Mrs. Yi and the others, the lady made a big fuss when she found out that the actor had hooked up with the rich girl again. But the actor was really resourceful, and the two women refused to leave and started fighting.
Wang Jiazhi then remembered that the actress later had a good relationship with the lady's husband, but she was not favored and soon didn't want him anymore.
Mrs. Yi and the others probably didn't know about this explosive news. If they knew, they would have told it long ago.
How did Wang Jiazhi know this? Although Lao Yi is not a gossiper, no one knows as much gossip as he does.
She had only seen such scenes of spending huge sums of money just to make a beautiful woman smile in novels, and this was the first time she had seen it happen in real life.
People came with trays asking for tips. Wang Jiazhi saw how much Mrs. Yi and the others gave, and without saying a word, she gave almost the same amount.
I thought to myself: The rich have wine and meat, but the poor are freezing to death on the streets.
Look at those two people again. Romance is not the privilege of the powerful, but most of those who can afford romance are the powerful.
What if the girl wants the actor to take all the money? Aren’t these two orioles, one old and one young?
