Chapter 89 Part 1: Watching a Play
Jin Man Tang had recently replaced Xiang Si group, an outstanding and prosperous theatrical troupe in Yanjing
Every tier to receive Duke Su’s approval and felt it necessary to first perfor affir was not bad, the theatrical troupe would certainly be pretty good Just like the Xiang Xi group at that ti seemed to have the power over the life and death of theatrical troupes in Yanjing He could bring a theatrical troupe to fame, and could equally h in Jiang Li’s opinion this was really inconceivable, a eneral, yet unexpectedly rather like a er of theatrical troupes But there were also times she felt she probably could understand how a person like Ji Heng had some relationshi+ps with plays
He was born very beautiful, even e Fro brilliant rays However, he was not suitable to perfore in person because he was too clear-headed and cold, unable to enter the mortal world and be involved in their predicaments Such a proud heavenly child was probably only suitable to stand under the stage, watching other people’s deception of joys and sorrows, even felt it was beneath his dignity to drop a tear or two
Hesmile at the corner of his lips
The entire second floor had perhaps been booked by Ji Heng as there were no other people Jiang Li could go out of the tea roos and look down to ie
Able to see the people on the stage clearly, but one floor higher than the audience on the first floor Jiang Li surh location, overlooking the scene below She couldn’t help saying, watching a play like this had a feeling of detach in the audience How to say it, suppose a person sat too close to the actors, it’s very easy for said person to enter the play But a person that was nearby to the actors yet stood higher could more clearly perceive that it was just a play No matter hoonderful the play was, it was difficult for the person to enter, thus would not be led along by thewas called Little Peach, a young woman Because her face was always fully applied with cosraceful figure and her soft voice, she should be a rare wonderful person No wonder the audience rooted for her so much and cheered for her one after another
This play was called: “Jiu’er’s record”
“Jiu’er’s record” was a very famous tale, the story of a wo woman was called Jiu’er, as married to a scholar in the countryside They were in perfect har affections for each other Afterwards, the scholar entered the capital to take the imperial exaovern lady Thelady wanted to take him as the son-in-law, thus the scholar concealed thea wife in his hohter
Jiu’er, as far away in the countryside with their young son, wasn’t aware that her husband had become other people’s husband A day caer sent letters ho son fell into serious illness The family was poor and had no money to treat the illness With no other alternative, Jiu’er had to bring the young son to the capital to search for her husband After going through difficulties and suffering other’s indifference, she arrived at the capital at last However, while on the streets of the capital, she saw her husband and another wo intinize Jiu’er and further asked people to beat and drive her away Only then did Jiu’er find out that he already had a wife and children for a long time and had from earlier thrown the wife and child at home to the back of his head In the capital, Jiu’er’s son couldn’t obtain silver to see the doctor, in addition, the toll fro after, he died of illness
Jiu’er lost both her husband and her son, feeling unreconciled and heart-broken, she flung herself into the river in front of the scholar’s door After death, she turned into a blue bird, all day long screa everyone to stop This matter alarated thoroughly Discovering that the scholar was a fickle and heartless person, the emperor re lady also divorced hi at all and froze to death in winter, unable to withstand the severe weather
This was a story made up by a storyteller in the previous dynasty However, because it’s so brilliant, and Jiu’er’s bitter experience roused the sye by theatrical troupes, consequently beco such mellow,Jiu’er in the story The h it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, there’s also the saying “a ho’s gone through the hardshi+ps of poverty with her husband must not be cast away” Such a person with no virtue, no wonder the heavens finally couldn’t stand
When Jiang Li first heard this story, she was still a little girl in Tongxiang She was still young at that tinant for Jiu’er to meet with such injustice She still told Xue Zhao, if it was her, knowing that the person who shared the bed was such a cruel and unscrupulous person, she absolutely wouldn’t commit suicide in front of the scholar’s door, but rather take a knife and perish together with the scholar At that time Xue Zhao said: “When that time comes, you will certainly feel reluctant”
She scoffed, ould she be reluctant, he’s nothing ood as an animal
Jiu’er in the story unexpectedly still recalled the good things of the past It’s unknohether the personup this tale was unable to realize and produced thisfroe, just like at this tiain, she could still say that there’s nothing to be reluctant about
When the other party chose to betray, then it was just like a sword cutting all the previous relationshi+ps, without any exception, neatly The things others did not care about yet she preserved very carefully, that’s not called kindhearted, but frivolous and lowly
She would never let people look down on herself
