I fought back after reselling my engagement

Su Zhen didn't see Chun Xiao, "Did Chun Xiao and Chun Jiang switch jobs?"

Chunyu immediately said incessantly: "Princess, Chunxiao is now very famous. Not only is she the mainstay of Yueyang Grand Theater, but she is also favored by the Third Madam and adopted as her daughter. She took the Third Madam's surname and changed her name to Cui Xiaoxiao. Her stage name is Chunxiao. She is called 'Miss Cui' in the Grand Commandery. In the early years, the Seventh Madam's dormitory was allocated to her.

Xiaofang, the former little maid in Tingyuxuan, was promoted to a senior maid and called Chunfang. She took over Chunjiang's previous job and was in charge of Tingyuxuan.

Chunxiao performed at the Grand Theater on the first and fifteenth day of every month. The rest of the time he was either at the Grand Marshal's Mansion or at the Liyuan, teaching his disciples how to perform.

Last month, there was a big theater in Beijing, and both the top-ranked and the bottom-ranked troupes went to Beijing."

Chunxiao is now very famous because she is a good opera singer. The third wife is a famous opera fan and goes to watch opera whenever she has time, so she has booked a private room in the grand theater all year round.

The Third Wife clearly only had those few scenes, but she could still see her experience and could talk about it at length, pointing out things like the makeup was bad, the appearance wasn't pretty enough, the clothes didn't match, the headdress wasn't delicate enough, the singing wasn't mellow, there was no emotion... She could pick out a lot of faults.

In the eyes of the Third Wife, the only famous actress is her adopted daughter Chunxiao, and the others all sing too badly.

Su Zhen asked: "How many dramas are there now? Chunxiao and I have recently decided on "The Female Prime Minister" and "The Legend of the White Snake".

"After the princess went into seclusion in the mountains, she added three more plays: The Mandarin Duck Dream, The Peacock Flies Southeast, and The Dragon and the Phoenix Present Good Luck."

Su Zhen seemed to be thinking about something.

Chunyu said: "The Peacock Flies Southeast is about the story of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing, a pair of lovers who were forced to separate; The Dream of the Mandarin Ducks is about Lu You and Tang Wan. The Dragon and the Phoenix are the love story of Emperor Taizu and the Empress. The emperor asked Zhou Daxueshi to write this play.

Next month, we will release "Ming Yue Guan", which tells the story of the emperor's expedition to Ming Yue Guan in the northern border when he was the crown prince. Liyuan... Eighteen young men came to the Liyuan, twelve of whom were from the imperial music troupe. After watching the play, the emperor asked why women were allowed to play the role of Xiaosheng, because they did not look like men at all. He also said that in half a year, all the stages would use men to play Xiaosheng and Wusheng, and women were not allowed to play them anymore.

In the play "Ming Yue Guan", the person who plays the emperor must be a man, and women are not allowed to play the emperor. "

There are many details to pay attention to. In order to let the kabuki actors in the Palace Music House learn to perform well, they were sent to Baixianzhuang Liyuan to learn performance. The previous small courtyard was turned into three courtyards.

Because the grand theaters in the capital and Yueyang Prefecture were so popular, the wives and other ladies were very supportive. There were fewer banquets and they all gathered in the grand theaters to watch plays, drink tea and chat together. In the past, the third wife seldom went out, but now it was rare for her to go out for a day without going to the theater.

Since Su Jingzhai published "Jingzhai Poetry Collection", his reputation has soared throughout the world. Scholars who don't know who Su Jingzhai is will be laughed at.

Su Jingzhai wrote "Three Character Classic", which is a book for children.

He made the decision. Before the New Year last year, Su Jingzhai took out the "Confucius", "Mencius" and "The Book of Songs" that he revised and compiled, and printed an initial print of 10,000 copies of each. Because of their low prices, they were sent to various parts of Da Qi and the previous unified pricing system was implemented. They were sold out within a few days.

The Su Jingzhai calligraphy copy of "Yueyang Tower Fu" was published in February, with only 6,000 copies. It was sold as a copybook and was also very popular.

Su Jingzhai is now a symbol of calligraphy, scholar, and master of a school. His son Su Shao and granddaughter Su Wenjiang are both talented people. The collection of poems and lyrics compiled by his five grandchildren is also very popular and sought after by literati. Su Jingzhai and his sons, Su Wenjiang, and Su Wulang are collectively known as the "Four Heroes of Su's School", while Su Sanlang, Su Silang, Su Qillang, and Su Balang are known as the "Four Little Heroes of Su's School". Together, they are also known as the "Eight Heroes of Su's School".

When Su Wulang was five years old, he wrote a poem: "Geese, geese, geese, they sing with their necks curved to the sky. Their white feathers float on the green water, and their red feet splash on the clear waves." He could be said to be a child prodigy among the Eight Sons of the Su family, and the most talented among Su Jingzhai's grandchildren.

After the Chinese New Year, the construction of Yueyang Weaving Bureau was completed. Su Jingzhai wrote to the court and sent an official from the Ministry of Works who was proficient in weaving to take charge. The Yueyang Weaving Bureau was an official of the fifth rank, with two deputies, both of whom were officials of the sixth rank. The craftsmen under him also adopted professional titles and levels.

The weaving workshop was under the Ministry of Works and supervised by the Imperial Household Department, and was the weaving department of the imperial court.

The loom group recruited craftsmen and used the assembly line production method, with one person responsible for one link, and produced 120 looms. There was still a large gap there, and if another 120 looms were delivered by the end of March, it would be enough to meet the needs of the Yueyang Weaving Bureau. In addition, two loom-making masters would be left in the Weaving Bureau to inspect and manufacture the looms.

Weaving offices will also be built in Jinling and Chengdu. Jinling is the largest one in the world of Da Qi, and the scale of Chengdu is similar to that of Yueyang. The Jinling Weaving Office is a fourth-rank official position. The Ministry of Works has completed the site selection and has begun designing and building.

As soon as the looms of the Yueyang Weaving Bureau are completed, the craftsmen of the loom group will go to Jinling to make looms for the Jinling Weaving Bureau. After Jinling is completed, they will enter Bashu and build a weaving bureau there.

There is the largest royal paper mill and printing house in the capital; Luoyang will build another Luoyang royal paper mill and printing house, and the craftsmen will be selected from this group of apprentice craftsmen.

Su Zhen used to focus on establishing various groups, and now things are on the right track.

It was late February, and they started to grow corn seedlings and prepare the land. Vegetables were planted on the remaining ridges in the wheat fields. These vegetable seeds were brought back from overseas by Xie Liulang. They included lotus root, pickled mustard, cauliflower, etc., which enriched the dining table. After they were planted, a batch was sent to the palace.

There was a farmer in Baixianzhuang who was the best at growing vegetables. All six members of the family were taken away by the Ministry of Works of the imperial court and were to go to the imperial farm to grow vegetables for the people in the palace.

Baixianzhuang is now not only famous in the capital, but the whole world knows that there is such a place.

Today's thin and tough paper was made in Baixianzhuang; movable type printing was made in Baixianzhuang; new farm tools and looms were also made in Baixianzhuang; beautiful glass was also made in Baixianzhuang...

Su Zhen returned that day, took a short rest, and then took Chunjiang and Xiaoluo to walk around the farm, seeing that the farmers who were raising corn seedlings and looking after sweet potato seedlings were doing a good job. After the first month of the year, the Ministry of Works sent more than 20 people to study here. There were middle-aged officials and teenagers in their late twenties. Some lived at the foot of the mountain, and some lived on the mountain.

Su Zhen looked around and asked about the storage of cotton seeds this year.

She didn't do anything this time. There were five or six people in the one-acre experimental field. There were too many people and too little land. The farmers in the village were most afraid that others would take their land. Now some people had gone to the mountain to open up wasteland and build experimental fields.

A group of officials of all ranks who came to gild their resumes, and even noble sons of families of all ranks. An agricultural official is also an official, and this is a job of technical officials, who do not have to deal with all those intrigues. You see, Su Shao, who vowed not to enter the realm of benevolence, has become a provincial agricultural official. Now he is diligently and conscientiously promoting agricultural affairs and instructing the people to grow emerging crops.
