Chapter 430 It’s really the Umeki Opera Troupe!

The military officer's wife's face turned dark. She wanted to curse back, but she couldn't argue with the little girl in front of her who was obviously only about ten years old.

Moreover, she really couldn't deny the fact that her son took a courtesan as a concubine.

In fact, the military attaché's wife was still shocked when she thought about it. Was the fact that her son married an orangutan so embarrassing that even a little girl who hadn't even reached marriage age had heard about it?

The military attaché's wife's face turned red, blue, and black at times, which was really a very interesting scene.

After this incident, no matter how thick-skinned the military officer's wife was, she couldn't say anything more and stopped talking in dismay.

Mrs. Wei smiled proudly and praised Xing Xing in front of everyone: "My granddaughter has been smart and well-behaved since she was young. She is the apple of our family's eye."

Many ladies praised Xingxing.

Only the wives of the military attachés and a few of her good friends looked unhappy.

The military officer's wife naturally didn't know that all this information was obtained by Xingxing from her elusive fourth brother Gui Ge'er.

Xingxing was afraid of encountering such troubles at her own banquet, so she asked Guiger to help her look up the basic information of these families, and sure enough, it came in handy at this moment.

After this incident, when the group sat down in the warm pavilion, they didn't have high expectations for the troupe.

Until the maid respectfully handed the playlist to Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei casually handed the playlist to the old lady who was closest to her and said with a smile: "I have already selected the final one. You can take a look at the remaining ones. What do you want to listen to?"

As soon as the three words "終茯付" came out, there was silence in the warm room, and everyone was a little stunned.

The military officer's wife finally found something to hold against him, and laughed shrilly, "Madam Wei, did I hear you right? You are kidding! This is the play of the Meimu Opera Troupe! They are the only ones singing it! Since they became popular in the winter, tickets are hard to buy, and they have never performed in other people's houses. Did you find some small troupe and let them sing the Meimu Opera Troupe's play?!"

Although everyone felt that the military officer's wife was a little too emotional, they actually found it hard to believe that the Yu family really invited the popular Meimu Opera Troupe to come.

A lady coughed lightly and said tactfully: "...Speaking of which, I went to the theater where the Meimu Opera Troupe was stationed before, and it seemed that they officially opened on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Today is only the fourth day of the first lunar month, so the Meimu Opera Troupe should not have opened yet..."

Another lady was also a little surprised and lowered her voice: "... Moreover, I heard that the third daughter of the Duke of Xin's Mansion said that they also invited the Meimu Opera Troupe to perform on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is Miss Mingzhu's birthday..."

She didn't say it explicitly, but her meaning was very obvious.

Even the Xinguo Mansion can only invite the Meimu Opera Troupe on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

How can you, the Zhenxi General's Mansion, invite him?

Mrs. Wei really didn't know any of this. When she saw these people's reactions, she herself felt a little confused.

Is it so difficult to hire the Meimu Opera Troupe?

But, their daughter Xingxing is the financier of the Meimu Opera Troupe.

Mrs. Wei thought about this, but she didn't show any emotion on her face. She just looked very calm and said with a smile, "Everyone will know when the leading actor comes on stage."

Seeing how calm and composed Mrs. Wei was, the other ladies became more and more suspicious.

The old lady, who had just taken the play repertoire from Mrs. Wei, selected a play from the repertoire. Others also hurriedly selected a few, and that was it.

The sound of music came from behind the stage. When Ruihong, dressed as a charming young lady, walked out from behind the curtain, many of the ladies in the warm room, who had seen Ruihong in costume before, all widened their eyes in excitement: "It's Ruihong! It's really the Meimu Opera Troupe!"

Now they had to believe that the opera troupe invited by the Yu family was indeed the Meimu opera troupe that was now famous throughout half of Beijing!

The military attaché's wife had also seen Ruihong perform from a distance, and this time, she was also shocked and speechless.

Yu family, how could the Yu family really invite the Meimu Opera Troupe over?

The appearance of the Meimu Opera Troupe made the women in the warm pavilion excited.

In addition to the Meimu Opera Troupe's most popular representative work, The Final Mistake, Ruihong also gave face by singing the excerpts requested by the female relatives from beginning to end, which can be said to have given the Yu family enough face.

The atmosphere in the warm attic is getting better and better.

When Ruihong finished singing, the excited ladies came forward and asked Ruihong to sing with them in their homes.

Ruihong's eyes flickered as she smiled and said, "Ruihong is a commoner, but I was invited by all the ladies. Ruihong thanks all the ladies for their kindness. However, the performances in the first month of the year are all full, so I can only shed tears and fail to live up to your kindness."

When the ladies heard this, they were a little disappointed, but Ruihong was so beautiful, and he spoke in a sincere, humble and charming manner, so no one wanted to be angry with someone like Ruihong.

The ladies had no choice but to give up.

It was already getting late, so the ladies had no choice but to say goodbye. Mrs. Wei asked her daughters-in-law to take people to see the guests off.

This banquet hosted by the Zhenxi General's Mansion was a great success and the guests enjoyed themselves very much.

Ruihong was taking off her makeup in a room behind the warm pavilion. Just as she was about to say something to the troupe owner, Mo Wenjin, a young girl suddenly barged in with a wild light in her eyes. She tried to touch Ruihong's face in a fascinated manner: "Ruihong! You sang so well!"

——Ruihong and Mo Wenjin were both shocked.

Mo Wenjin hurriedly stopped the girl and said, "Miss, Miss, are you lost? I'll have someone take you out now."

The girl brushed away Mo Wenjin's hand and refused to take the step. She just looked at Ruihong infatuatedly and intoxicatedly. She felt that Ruihong was breathtakingly beautiful even with half of her makeup removed.

Ruihong's brows were deeply wrinkled.

"Ruihong, I am from the Liu family in Nanyou Hutong. We are related to the Xinguo Mansion by marriage. Many families in Beijing have to give us some respect." The girl looked at Ruihong in fascination, her cheeks flushed. "How about I invite your troupe to perform in our house?"

Ruihong didn't want to cause trouble in the Yu family, so she forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. We just said that our schedule is full..."

The girl was very stubborn. If Mo Wenjin was not among them, she would have wanted to go forward and pull Ruihong's sleeve: "Then you can cancel the place you are queuing for! I tell you, Miss Mingzhu of the Duke of Xin's Mansion is my cousin! She has always liked me and is willing to listen to me. You also know how Miss Mingzhu of the Duke of Xin's Mansion is able to call the shots in the capital. You just need to cancel the other places. Don't be afraid. My cousin Mingzhu will handle it for you!"

Ruihong and Mo Wenjin couldn't help but frown.
