Both the Yu family father and son were shocked by Kang Yueran. Yu Nianxian stood up and bowed, "The young lady's broad mind really makes me ashamed."
Kang Yueran helped Yu Nianxian up and said, "Prince Ping said that last year there was a locust plague in the south, and it was Master Yu who paid a lot of money to stabilize the grain prices."
This is also the reason why she chose the Yu family. They can stick to the bottom line and not make money from national disasters. It seems that the Yu family's family tradition is still good.
"That's what you should do. The young lady is really admirable." The Yu family is the richest family and is being watched by the imperial court. Donating money to the imperial court may not necessarily fall into the hands of some corrupt official. It is better to benefit the people.
After sitting down again, Kang Yueran said, "I have hidden the weaving book. I will send someone to deliver it to you when I return to Anzhou at the end of the year."
The book was on the bookshelf in her space villa, a book called "Silk Production Technology in the Song Dynasty". She had to copy it by hand and remove all the things about the Song Dynasty.
"No rush, no rush! It's not too late to send it after the New Year!"
Yu Qing hadn't said a word the whole time. He finally understood why King Ping liked Kang Yueran. It was really hard not to like a woman like this.
Yu Nianxian felt that his son seemed too quiet today, and he couldn't help but take a look at him. With just one glance, he found that his son's eyes were full of heat when he looked at Kang Yueran.
This is incredible! Yu Nianxian was shocked, but still smiled, "Miss Kang, Qing'er and I won't bother you any more. We're leaving now."
He glared at Yu Qing from an angle where Kang Yueran couldn't see him, "Qing'er, let's go back!"
Why are you glaring at him? Yu Qing was a little confused.
Kang Yueran didn't notice anything different about Yu Qing, so she stood up and saw the Yu father and son off.
After the Yu family father and son left, two more young men who had been rescued came with their families and brought gifts to express their gratitude. Kang Yueran accepted the gifts and received them warmly.
She was going to the theatre in the evening and went to the clothing store in the afternoon.
The shop owner hurried over and almost bumped into Kang Yueran who was about to come in. The shop owner quickly apologized, and Kang Yueran waved him off.
Entering the store, she casually asked the clerk, "Who is that?"
"That's our boss and shopkeeper, Zhang, the shopkeeper of Juxiang Silk Shop. He wants to sell the shop. The location is good, and our boss is anxious to buy it."
"Is Zhang Yuan going to sell the shop? He hasn't left the capital yet?"
Zhang Yuan's lawsuit against Duke Lu had been heard by his colleagues. "He said he was going to sell the shop and leave."
The guy sighed and muttered softly, "I don't know if I can leave now."
Kang Yueran smiled and replied confidently, "We can leave now. As long as we stay far away and don't return to the capital, we can probably save our family."
The matter had already been concluded; Zhang Yuan was destined to remain in the dark. If Duke Lu still wanted to kill Zhang Yuan, it would be telling the world that he was guilty.
The guy was surprised, "Why are you so sure, girl?"
"I heard it from someone else, and that person said it with such conviction that it seemed to be true. Hey, I want to buy myself a couple of dresses, the best ones available..."
Kang Yueran dressed up and arrived at Huali Tower, and Chu Yun had already arrived.
The little maid led Kang Yueran to the private room. There were many people in the room, including Chu Yun, Chai Shibo, Yu Qing, and several noblemen who were rescued yesterday.
Those people did not mention the rescue yesterday. Kang Yueran did not save people for the sake of reward, so he did not mention it either.
Chu Yun gave Kang Yueran the best seat, and Kang Yueran sat down without hesitation.
The private room was on the second floor, overlooking the first floor. In the middle of the first floor was a high platform where the performance would take place.
Chu Yun knew that this was Kang Yueran's first visit, so he introduced the situation of Huali Building to Kang Yueran.
Dayong opera is more like a song, with characters and storylines, and several lyrics are sung throughout each performance.
When the song ended, everyone had a look of reluctance on their faces, except Kang Yueran.
Zhang Sheng asked, "Miss Kang, do you think Xiao Taohong's singing is bad? Or do you just not understand?"
The ancients loved to use allusions when writing poems and lyrics to show off their extensive knowledge. Kang Yueran did not understand a few things.
Chu Yun asked angrily, "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?"
Kang Yueran advised, "Don't get angry. Besides the fact that I didn't understand a few things, I was also distracted during the whole process."
"What were you thinking about?"
"I saw how beautifully they danced, and it reminded me of dancing horses."
These people had eaten and seen things before, but they had never seen a dancing horse, so they all asked what Kang Yueran looked like.
Kang Yueran chanted: "The dancing horses of Tianbao have four hundred hooves, and their steps on the colorful bed are not soiled. The Liyuan plays a song that makes the cups full of joy, and the syllables are synchronized with the horses' heads and feet.
"Dancing horses are horses that can dance. Getting one horse to jump to the rhythm is already difficult, but getting a hundred horses to jump together, in a coordinated and beautiful manner, is quite difficult."
Chai Shibo stared with wide eyes, "Miss Kang, where have you seen her before?"
Chu Yun also asked, "What is Tianbao? Is Liyuan the name of the theater?"
Tianbao was one of the reign titles during the Tang Dynasty, and Liyuan was the nickname given to the opera industry by Emperor Xuanzong. "Uh... Tianbao means the greatest treasure under heaven, and Liyuan is the name of the opera house."
Chu Yun nodded in agreement. "A horse like this is extremely difficult to train. It is truly a treasure in the world. Miss Kang, where have you seen one? Can you invite it to the capital to perform? We are willing to pay more money."
The Tang and Song dynasties were adjacent to each other, and dancing horses disappeared during the Song Dynasty. If there were no murals from the Tang Dynasty confirming the existence of dancing horses, many modern people would probably suspect that it was a fabrication by the ancients.
"I haven't seen it either. My master saw it once and said it was a spectacular sight. But later, the family that raised the dancing horses fell into poverty, and the horses scattered everywhere. Now they are extinct."
