"His Royal Highness Chen Wang was raised by the Emperor himself. He has noble character and broad mind. How could he care about such a trivial matter? However, if mother-in-law and Sister Nuan do something in front of King Chen and Xiaojia in the future, it will be hard to say. Yes." Mrs. Qi said lightly.

Qi Xuan thought of his careless mother, and the alarm bell rang in his heart. He was most afraid that his unclear mother would be deceived and do something secretly behind their backs.

"Xue'er will rest first, and I will go to the study to write a letter for my husband first." Qi Xuan helped her pull the quilt and strode out.

They listened to all the conversations between Qi Xuan and Mrs. Qi.

After Shen Jia finished eating a handful of melon seeds, the following conversation was also finished.

He poured two cups of yellow wine from a small jar, handed one cup to Xiao Yichen, and said jokingly: "Achen, how many rotten peach blossoms do you have in the capital?"

Xiao Yichen wrapped the melon seed shells and said helplessly: "What an injustice! In the capital, I usually live in the palace. In addition to studying, I practice martial arts on weekdays, and learn how to govern the country from the emperor's grandfather, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the New Year's Eve banquet. I’ve met the female relatives of each family.”

"Oops! I just asked casually, don't be angry!" Shen Jia said mischievously.

Xiao Yichen held Shen Jia's hand: "Jiajia, it's other people's business if others like me, it has nothing to do with me. I can't kill them for no reason. You just need to believe that I only like you and can only pretend to be in my heart." One of you is enough.”

Ever since Xiao Yichen confessed his love to Shen Jia, he started talking about love like a veteran in love.

Shen Jia was silent, and after a while he whispered softly: "Achen, is it worth giving up the entire garden for a flower?"

Xiao Yichen gently held her in his arms, his eyes were clear and stubborn, and his voice was gentle and affectionate, as if a feather swept across Shen Jia's heart: "It's worth it, having you for the rest of my life is enough!"

Shen Jia couldn't help but look sideways at Xiao Yichen. The moonlight was melting and the faint silver light shone on his face, making his face even clearer, softer and mysterious.

She snuggled in his arms quietly, making no sound.

The next day, many guests came to the government office. Qi Xuan and Mrs. Qi received the guests in the main courtyard.

Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen, Shen Hao and others went directly to the theater.

Nowadays, wealthy people like to invite opera troupes to sing in their halls when they have happy events.

This was the first time Shen Jia came to Dazhou to watch a play, and he was a little curious. Several people sat facing the stage.

The beauties of the opera singers on the stage, their soft waists and long slender legs were pleasing to the eye, but she really couldn't appreciate their "babble" singing.

An idea flashed in Shen Jia's mind. If she changed 'Journey to the West' into a stage play, would many people watch it?

Shen Jia immediately pulled Xiao Yichen, leaned his head against his head and whispered: "Achen, I have an idea, please help me refer to it..."

After Xiao Yichen listened, he touched his chin and thought for a moment: "I think it's okay."

With Xiao Yichen's support, Shen Jia became more confident and quickly thought about how to persuade the troupe to follow her.

Xiao Yichen saw Shen Jia's big eyes turning wildly, looking extremely curious. If people weren't so talkative now, he would have wanted to hug her.

After a while, Shen Jia discussed with Xiao Yichen in a low voice.

By the time the troupe finished singing, the plan in Shen Jia's mind was completed.

Xiao Yichen also found out the origin of the troupe. The opera troupe is called the Du Family Troupe, which is the most famous opera troupe in Lingnan. It is deeply loved by the noble families in Lingnan. It is said that if they sing in the theater, it is almost impossible to find a place.

When Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen and others arrived backstage, the troupe had already packed up and was about to leave.

Du Kangquan didn't pay attention when he saw Shen Jia and the others, thinking that the young master and the girl were just curious. After all, this happened often.

"Excuse me, are you the leader of the Du family class?" Shen Jia asked.

"I am Du Kangquan, the leader of Du's class, what is the girl doing here?" Du Kangquan asked politely.

Du Kangquan is about 20 years old. He is extremely handsome, with a tall nose, moderately thick red lips, and a pair of slender peach blossom eyes under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows. He is full of amorous feelings and looks a bit bohemian in appearance.

But there was a hint of humility in his movements, which was not at all consistent with his unruly appearance.

Shen Jia made a gesture of invitation: "Master Du, please come here. Let's sit down and talk in detail."

Du Kangquan was a little puzzled. These young men and girls were all exquisite and beautiful, with extraordinary temperament. What could they talk to him about? Are you going to invite them to sing in an opera?

Du Kangquan was full of doubts and followed Shen Jia and the others to a courtyard. Several people sat down. After the maid served tea, Shen Jiacai said: "Master Du, please have tea!"

Du Kangquan elegantly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "I wonder what you have to do with me, young lady?"

Shen Jia said calmly: "Master Du, I would like to invite you to open a theater in the capital. I will write a script and you will act in it. In addition to a lot of monthly money, you will also get dividends from the three floors of the theater.

My theater is different from your current singing and opera. It is a stage play performed in the form of movements, eyes, facial expressions, dialogues, etc. You don't have to act anywhere except in the theater. In other words, after you follow me, I will not let you be a low-class person again, but I will make you a respected artist. "

Shen Jia's words were like a hammer, hammering into Du Kangquan's heart.

Actors are lowly and lowly people who are coldly rejected by others, and even exist for the amusement of dignitaries. They have no dignity and no backbone. They have to endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate in order to live safely in this world.

Du Kangquan saw respect in Shen Jia's eyes, respect from the heart.

Du Kangquan had inexplicable emotions in his eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Why?"

Shen Jia smiled slowly and said: "Everyone is raised by their parents. In my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low professions. You have practiced basic skills and singing since you were young. This is not ordinary hardship and tiredness. You can earn a lot of money." Jing, why should I look down on you?"

Du Kangquan slowly closed his eyes and then opened them again. His tone was a bit sad and resentful: "The capital is not suitable for me. It's a pity."

"Why? As long as you take the troupe to the capital, I will help you with everything else." Shen Jia encouraged.

Shen Jia is quite satisfied with their troupe, and finding another troupe may not satisfy her.

Xiao Yichen thought of the dirty tricks of many aristocratic families in the capital, and opened his thin lips: "If it is because of a certain aristocratic family in the capital, you can rest assured, or you can tell us your story and we will give you some advice. "

Du Kangquan looked at Xiao Yichen sharply and saw that he had a calm expression and sincere eyes. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before slowly telling his story.

Du Kangquan's life experience and Guo Mingyu's life experience are surprisingly similar.
