A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 439: The Gourd Story II

They were all young girls in their prime, crowded by the window, and of course they were not there just to watch the show.

While waiting for the show to start, they all looked around the stands. The seats they had booked were a bit out of the way, so they couldn't help but pay attention to which families had booked the best seats in the stands.

Facing the stage, which also has the best view, are the wives of Princess Rui and the Duke of Zhenguo.

When the sisters saw each other, they began to discuss quietly, "Isn't it said that Princess Rui is not favored and is not well received by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion? Why are they watching a show together?"

"Yeah! It looks like the relationship is pretty good."

Zhou Ru listened at the side without interrupting. She was not particularly familiar with some of the nobles in the capital, and she had never heard of the rumors in the capital about why Princess Rui was out of favor or unwelcome by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

She followed the sisters' gaze and saw that the woman was about the same age as Song Ning or Mei. She had a noble aura and her every frown and smile revealed her gentleness.

"Look, His Royal Highness Prince Rui is right next door! And the sons of the Duke of Zhenguo are all there." Zhou Yan pointed to the seat next to the Princess Rui and said, "Hey! How come the sons of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion don't see General Chu?"

Zhou Yan felt a little disappointed because she couldn't see the person she wanted to see.

But now no one cared about her loss. The sisters just stared at those men. After all, they were the best men in the whole capital.

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui is so handsome! There is only one princess in Prince Rui's mansion, not even a concubine or a concubine. Princess Rui is so lucky that she doesn't have to share a man with other women."

"But doesn't it mean that Princess Rui is not favored? Then why doesn't Prince Rui marry a concubine or a concubine?"

"Who knows! Maybe the rumor isn't credible at all."

After the sisters finished discussing His Royal Highness Prince Rui, they turned their attention to the young masters of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Among the descendants of the Zhenguo Mansion this generation, it seems that only the eldest son Chu is married, and the others are still unmarried!"

"I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has a family rule that men cannot marry before they reach the age of twenty, and cannot take concubines in their lifetime unless there are special circumstances. Unless a man marries a wife and still has no children by the age of thirty, he is allowed to take a concubine to carry on the family line."

Such family rules are what many women dream of. If one marries into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she won't have to worry about other women snatching her husband away.

Naturally, the girls in the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion were also tempted by love. The rule that their children and grandchildren were not allowed to take concubines was the first choice for the noble ladies in the capital when choosing a son-in-law.

However, not everyone can reach the height of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. In terms of family background, the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion is definitely out of reach.

But whether or not they can reach the upper class is one thing. These problems do not affect the sisters' own fantasies at all!

"That young General Chu seems to have passed the age of twenty. I don't know why he has not married yet. I heard that the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has been looking for him, but he ran away. I don't know which girl in the capital can catch his eye."

Zhou Yan pricked up her ears and was a little unhappy when she heard the sisters talking about the person she secretly admired. "What do you know? General Chu just hasn't met the person he likes. In two years, he should be able to meet him!"

It just so happens that in two years she will be of marriageable age and can get married.

When the sisters beside her heard this, they teased her, "Sister Yan, you are just a little girl who hasn't even grown all your hair yet, what do you know?"

Zhou Yan wanted to retort, but when she saw the other sisters making fun of her and then ignoring her, she could only stay aside and sulk.

Fortunately, the performance on the stage started soon, and the sisters put their other thoughts aside and shifted their attention to the stage.

"The Calabash Brothers", as a highly anticipated play, was scheduled to be the last and the finale.

The drama in the capital was quite different from what I had seen in Pingyang County. The actors' singing accents were also different. Even though the content of the performances was not much different, the forms of the performances were different.

Therefore, even though Zhou Ru had seen it several times before in Pingyang County, she still enjoyed watching it this time.

Needless to say, it was the first time for the sisters to see such a performance, they all watched it with rapt attention and were extremely happy.

Just when the capital city was flooded with people reading "The Gourd Story" and "Introduction to Calligraphy", Pingyang County also officially launched the second volume of "The Gourd Story".

This time, the theater made preparations early and started purchasing "Hulu Ji 2" on the day it was released. Then they quickly arranged rehearsals and staged the first show of "Hulu Ji 2" on the th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Song Ning made an appointment with Mei to go to the theater to watch a play. After the play, she was ready to go shopping.

This was the last purchase before the New Year, so there would definitely be a lot of stuff to go around. Therefore, this time, in addition to Qingshuang, they also brought Chen Laoer and his wife along.

Chen Laoer drove the carriage into the city, dropped off Hang Shuheng at Wanjuan Bookstore, and then went directly to meet up at Mei's rouge shop. Then the group set out for the theater.

When the play "The Gourd 2" began to be performed on the stage, Mei thought of Zhou Ru who was far away in the capital, "It's a pity that Sister Ru is not here, otherwise, she would definitely be the one who enjoyed watching the play the most."

Song Ning smiled and said, "When she comes back from the capital, she will probably go crazy when she finds out that the second volume of The Gourd has been staged."

The group stayed in the theater until before noon before leaving, during which time some minor incidents occurred in the theater.

Mei Yaosheng, who had not been seen for a long time since the incident with Cao Qianyu, also came to the theater to watch a play today, and coincidentally, he was next door to Song Ning and the others.

This time, he had learned his lesson. When he saw them, he just looked unhappy at most, but he didn't say anything unpleasant. Therefore, Song Ning and others didn't pay much attention to him.

When the show was about to end, Mei Yaosheng had an argument with someone for some unknown reason. Jing stepped on empty air and fell straight down from the second floor. Her head hit the corner of a bench in the stands downstairs, making a hole in it. She immediately started bleeding profusely and lost consciousness.

Song Ning and others watched the excitement here for a while, and only left the theater when Mei Yaosheng was carried away by several of their classmates and sent to the clinic.

As for how Mei Yaosheng was injured, or whether he was dead or alive, they had no idea, and they didn't have the energy to pay attention to such things.
