Chapter 154
Luo Chaoyan quickly stopped her actions, bowed to Mrs. Huo, and said with a smile: "Mother, the weather is very good today, and your daughter-in-law wanted to play the wrestling dance like the foreigners with Fengli." Please don't get me wrong.
Mrs. Huo chuckled and said, "This foreign dance is quite novel."
Fengli stood aside with her eyes lowered, laughing secretly in her heart. The young lady had found a good excuse.
Luo Chaoyan laughed dryly and said, "Mother, are you here to see your daughter-in-law because you have something to tell her?"
Mrs. Huo nodded and said, "Your father asked me to ask you, when do you plan to open your Happy House?"
Luo Chaoyan was stunned. How could her father-in-law, the Grand Tutor who was busy with all kinds of affairs, be interested in her little trick?
Mrs. Huo thought about it and decided to remind her, "Your father said that His Majesty might come over when your theater opens."
What!
The old emperor wants to go to her theater?
Luo Chaoyan was a little bit unbelievable and said, "Mother, are you telling the truth?"
Madam Huo nodded and said, "You don't have to be nervous. His Majesty may be visiting incognito. You can just treat him as an ordinary spectator."
Luo Chaoyan smacked her lips, still finding it strange. Are all the nobles in Kyoto so idle?
Madam Huo seemed to see through her confusion and said with a smile, "Because you took the lead, many homeless children and elderly people in the capital have a place to stay. Your father said that His Majesty is very pleased, so he also wants to support you."
Luo Chaoyan chuckled, secretly complaining in her heart, she didn't expect that the old emperor was also a sentimental person!
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "Your father said you did a great job, and he wants to reward you something."
Luo Chaoyan waved her hand and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law has everything she needs, why would she need you to spend money on her?"
"I cannot refuse a gift from an elder!"
Mrs. Huo waved to the maid standing outside and asked her to bring the things over.
"Take a look. Do you like it?"
Seeing this, Luo Chaoyan had no choice but to raise her hand and open the wooden box. She saw a small box inside and a few books underneath.
She first opened the box out of curiosity, and found a white bead inside.
Madam Huo said, "This is a night-shining pearl presented as tribute by the East Sea Kingdom. It was given to your father by His Majesty when he took office as Grand Tutor."
Luo Chaoyan smacked her lips. It was the first time she had seen the legendary night-shining pearl.
"Mother, this is the gift from His Majesty to father. It's not good for father to give it to me."
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "It's okay, just keep it."
Luo Chaoyan said: "Then I, your daughter-in-law, would like to thank my father." The Grand Tutor is indeed the Grand Tutor, and what he does is definitely not ordinary.
Mrs. Huo gave her some instructions and left.
Fengli looked at Madam Huo's departing back, pursed her lips, and said stumblingly, "Young Madam, um... His Majesty... His Majesty is really going to Happy Tower?"
Did she hear it right? If that's true, then does she have a chance to see the emperor?
Luo Chaoyan raised her hand and tapped her forehead, smiling, "Does it hurt?"
Pineapple rubbed her forehead that was hit and said, "It hurts!"
"If it hurts, then it must be true!"
Fengli said, "Young Madam, what should we do then?"
Luo Chaoyan said: "Mother said that we should just treat him as an ordinary spectator. If we pay too much attention to him, it will easily cause unrest."
She thought for a moment and said, "But you still need to pay attention to what you should pay attention to. Just ask Zheng Hang to be more cautious."
Pineapple nodded.
…
Time passed quickly, and the day finally arrived when the Happy Building opened.
Early in the morning, Huo Rui and Huo An pestered Old Madam Huo, acting coquettishly and cutely, saying that they wanted to go and support their mother. Naturally, Mrs. Huo agreed.
Seeing this, Luo Chaoyan naturally couldn't leave Huo Yu's naughty kids behind, so she asked someone to find them, and then everyone set off together in a carriage.
A few naughty kids in the carriage asked Luo Chaoyan what was the difference between her theater and other teahouses, what good operas were there, etc.
Luo Chaoyan fooled them with her mysterious tricks, which made them scratch their heads in anxiety.
After a long while, the carriage finally stopped in front of the Happy Building.
Zheng Hang had been waiting at the door early, and when he saw their carriage coming, he hurried forward to greet them.
Luo Chaoyan waved at him and said, "We can go there by ourselves, you go and do your work."
Zheng Hang nodded.
When they entered, they saw that the lobby was already packed with people.
There is a large circular stage in the center of the lobby, and flowers of various colors are placed around the stage. There were also rainbow-colored silks hanging above the stage.
Luo Chaoyan took Madam Huo through the noisy lobby and up to the second-floor wing.
As soon as they sat down, a smiling waiter brought them hot tea and snacks.
When Huo An saw that he brought up the snacks that his mother brought back last time, his eyes lit up.
"Madam, young masters, please sit down for a while. The show will begin soon."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the play that will be performed in our store today."
A few naughty kids couldn't help but look at the list with curiosity. They saw words like young hero, fighting with wits against the naughty kid, etc. on it.
Huo Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's quite fresh."
The second brother said: "Of course not, these are all stories written by our boss and storekeeper."
The little kids couldn't help but look at Luo Chaoyan curiously.
Luo Chaoyan waved to the waiter.
The waiter kept smiling as he said, "Madam, if you have any problem, just call me."
Having said that, he walked out of the room.
Old Man Huo smiled and said, "Your theater is quite novel." Although the decoration is similar to others, it is novel, exquisite and beautiful. She could also see that the guys here were very warm and polite, and they were obviously well trained.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "As long as grandma likes it."
Huo Yu looked at her teasingly, pointed at the title of the play "Battle of Wisdom and Bear Baby", and said, "Battle of House and Bear Baby?"
Luo Chaoyan said calmly, "This is a story written and arranged by our shopkeeper."
Huo Yu raised his eyebrows. Why did he feel that it was written by her? He looked at Huo Rui who was sitting beside him and knew nothing, and for some reason he felt like laughing. Well, he was really looking forward to the show later.
Luo Chaoyan secretly clicked her tongue a few times. Huo Yu was as sharp as a dog. It was a pity that he didn't become an official.
Huo An ate the snacks happily, looked at her expectantly and said, "Mother, can we come here more often in the future?" Not only can they eat delicious snacks here, but they also don't have to face the teacher's stern face.
Luo Chaoyan raised her eyes and looked at Old Madam Huo.
Madam Huo smiled and tapped his nose, saying, "You've been a little lazy lately. The teacher has complained about you, and you still want to come every day."
Huo An's eyes flickered as he asked, "If I behave well, can I come here more often?"
Luo Chaoyan rubbed her forehead and said, okay, she admitted that she had led the little fat boy astray.
She thought for a moment and said, "If you perform well, the teacher praises you, and you pass your father's questions, we can consider letting you come during your vacation."
Huo An's face immediately fell. His father was even stricter than the teacher. How could he let him get away with it so easily? Moreover, when his father is free, he will only monopolize his mother and never give him a chance.
So he sighed softly like a little adult.
This made everyone laugh.
