Chapter 574: Singing
Chapter 574 Singing an opera
Li Dongqing was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, you go."
So Chen Ruyi got up and came to the middle, and gracefully bowed to Concubine Li, saying, "The Concubine, my daughter is the daughter of Zhao Zheng, the Minister of Works. Chen Ruyi. I want to sing a passage to the Concubine: The Eight Immortals celebrate their birthday."
After saying that, she actually sang Yue Opera, with her words and a round voice, her movements and eyes were very good, and she had the spirit of Jiangnan.
Concubine Li was surprised and asked, "You should have come from Xi'an Prefecture, right? How could you sing Yue Opera?"
Chen Ruyi smiled and said, "Yue Opera is also popular in our Xi'an Prefecture. My daughter's father liked it. At that time, I specially learned this part to celebrate my father's birthday."
"Yeah!" Concubine Li nodded, "Very filial! Very good! Madam Meng, you have given birth to a good daughter!"
Li Dongqing stood up with a smile: "Thank you, the concubine."
The concubine looked at everyone: "Is there any more?"
No one answered.
Concubine Li looked at Mrs. Liang: "Mrs. Liang, your daughter looks very festive and charming. Today I am relying on her seniority and let her show her talents!"
"I am ashamed to say that the concubine is a few words, but I don't have a general talent!" said Mrs. Liang, "It makes you laugh!"
Concubine Li was a little regretful and asked Li Dongqing again: "Miss Hanzhang is famous, and even I have heard of it. I think she must be talented."
Zhao Hanzhang stood up and said, "Go back to the concubine, my daughter is the same as Ling Hui, and she is not talented! Please forgive me."
Concubine Li looked at the attic next to her: "That's it... then forget it."
After the talent selection was over, the opera began to take part in the stage again.
Moreover, there were also scenes under the stage.
The Duke of Wei suddenly attacked: "Mrs. Liang, I heard that your old lady was actually ill by Xia An'an?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Xia Anan.
Mrs. Liang had a dark face: "Where did my aunt hear the rumor? Look at how well-behaved my daughter-in-law is! How could it make the old lady sick?"
Xia Anan does look well-behaved.
She looks beautiful but not aggressive, and she is the kind of person who is loved by everyone.
Mrs. Duke Wei: "I'm not groundless! My daughter-in-law has also visited her. After hearing what she said in person, she was sick of Xia An'an!"
At this moment, if Mrs. Liang wanted to protect Xia Anan, she would say that Mrs. Lin was not.
The daughter-in-law criticized her mother-in-law in public. This is a great disobedience and also a shame for the Duke Dingguo Mansion.
Mrs. Liang was so angry that she didn't know how to argue.
Xia An knew that she didn't know who spread this matter, and it was already known to everyone, and it was useless to avoid it.
So she said, "Grandma, if you really care about my grandmother, how could you expose her family's embarrassment in front of so many people? You are obviously trying to deliberately slap me in the face and ruin my reputation! But my younger generation has never had any interaction with you, so there is definitely no way to offend you. What is your reason?"
The wife of Duke of Wei sneered: "Like you, you will get angry with your grandmother in my husband's house on the first day of entering the house. Everyone can poke the backbone. What else is the reason?"
Xia Anan: "As you said, why didn't my husband and parents-in-law get me off? You mean, they are not filial either, right?"
When everyone heard this, they whispered and talked.
