Chapter 162 Taiyue Bureau
Taozhi returned to the servant's room where she lived, took out the gift box that Lin Qianqian had given her from under her pillow, and placed it between her legs.
"My aunt said to open it after she left. What did she give me?"
She couldn't help but reach out and touch the surface of the brocade box. The black and red fabric felt smooth and was made of silk.
“This box is just fine.”
She had already thought of using a box to put all her precious things in. She opened the box and saw an envelope on the top. She took out the letter and saw a gold hairpin at the bottom.
What a beautiful hairpin!
This is a gold hairpin inlaid with jewels and jade carvings. The upper part is engraved with ancient coin-shaped patterns, and attached with butterfly-shaped, flower-shaped, and cicada-shaped gold holders. The holders hold white jade plates, red jade flowers, and green jade ornaments. The center of the jade ornaments is inlaid with gems, and the butterfly antennae are made of gold wire, dotted with two snow-white pearls.
Taozhi couldn't let go of the golden hairpin, feeling surprised and happy, "My aunt actually gave me such a valuable thing."
She put the hairpin back, opened the envelope, pulled out a folded piece of paper, shook it open.
"Taozhi, I'm afraid this separation will take a long time."
"I originally intended to leave this gold hairpin for you as a dowry. Then I thought, it's so hard to find a good man in this world, who can guarantee that you will meet a good man? This gold hairpin is the reward for you taking care of me these days. No matter what time it is, people must have money to rely on, and only with money can they have confidence. You can use it as a dowry, and when you leave the mansion in the future, you can start your own small business, buy a house, or buy land. Remember, there are more ways for a woman to survive in the world than just getting married. I'll forget you and everything will be fine."
Tears as big as beans fell one by one, spreading out on the paper.
The flowing tears connect the ink paintings together.
Taozhi held the letter tightly in both hands, and the surging emotions swept through every corner of her heart like a storm.
She held the letter to her chest and said, "I didn't expect that Aunt Lin had even thought about what to do after I left the mansion. Obviously, I had done a lot of things to let her down before..."
"Auntie Lin, you are so kind to me."
"You've never hit or scolded me, and you've never treated me like a real servant... I really don't deserve you to treat me like this."
"How could you give me such a valuable hairpin? I'm really sorry for you, sorry..."
Taozhi held the golden hairpin in her hand and sobbed again.
……
Taile Office.
Specially responsible for palace banquet performances and the inheritance of elegant music.
Lin Qianqian followed Chen Shanggong and a group of palace maids and eunuchs to the Dehe Garden Theater.
There are three royal theaters in the palace.
Dehe Garden was built by the emperor for the empress dowager. Changyin Pavilion and Qingyin Pavilion were built for the emperor and the empress.
Lin Qianqian looked up at the Dehe Garden Theater.
It is a luxurious three-story building. The upper floor is a drum tower, the third floor is a frame stage, and the first and second floors are open stages. Dehe Garden mainly includes the Grand Theater, the Dressing Theater, the Yile Hall (the Theater Hall), the Theater Gallery, and the Qingshan Hall (the rear hall), with 24 buildings.
It faces north and faces south. Opposite it is Yueshi Tower, where the emperor and empress watched operas. There are long corridors on the east and west sides, where princes and ministers watched operas. Each stage is three rooms wide and deep.
There are water wells and ground wells. There are pulleys on the second and third floors. Combined with these wells, the effects of going up to the sky or into the ground or water magic can be created.
On the birthdays of the emperor and empress, and on important festivals, opera troupes would be held in Dehe Garden, and princes and ministers would often come here to enjoy and listen to operas.
"These are the court musicians who often perform for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."
Chen Shanggong raised her hand and pointed at the more than 200 eunuchs and palace maids lined up in the courtyard.
She was about forty years old, dressed in gorgeous female official attire, and every move she made was accompanied by a template-like smile.
Chen Shanggong said, "Since we are staging a new play, we need to find actors. You can pick any of these people, and then you will teach them how to play the corresponding parts."
Lin Qianqian bowed, "Thank you for troubling Concubine Chen."
She took a deep breath. The next step was the real project. Not only did she have to find all nine actors, but she also had to memorize the lines for each actor, teach them how to act one by one, and rehearse the scenes constantly.
She felt somewhat stressed being with these strangers.
Chen Shanggong smiled and said, "This is my job."
"Miss Lin, if you encounter any problems, you can come to me."
Concubine Chen assigned a room to Lin Qianqian, where she lived with a palace maid named Chunchan.
With the assistance of Chen Shanggong, she finally found nine actors, assigned them the roles, and distributed the scripts with lines for each person.
What followed was rehearsing the play and rehearsing the lines in the courtyard of the Taiyue Bureau day after day.
"Chen Shang Gong, you let a woman from outside the palace take charge of these people under you, isn't that inappropriate?"
"The Imperial Music Bureau should be managed by you alone. How can you let someone who has just entered the palace give orders? She is not a palace lady."
Chen Shanggong gave a proper smile to the elegant woman in luxurious clothes sitting in front of the stone table.
"Your Highness, Lin is rehearsing this play at the order of the Queen Mother. Moreover, this play is a local opera, not our Peking opera. There is no master in the palace who can perform it, so I can't teach it even if I want to. How dare I disobey the Queen Mother's order?"
The princess asked casually, "Aren't you afraid that she will be favored by the Queen Mother and take your place?"
"This Lin Qianqian, she told the Queen Mother something about Dream of the Red Chamber. She has been summoned by the Queen Mother these days. She has to tell her stories for half an hour every day and sometimes even sing operas for her. I think your position will be in jeopardy sooner or later."
After being surprised, Chen Shanggong showed a forced smile, "Your Highness, she does know a lot of novel stories, but the Queen Mother likes to listen to stories. Such a person will definitely be liked by the Queen Mother."
"It's not certain whether she will stay or not. Even if she does, she will start as the youngest musician."
The princess suddenly felt that she had asked for trouble. She stood up and said, "I am just reminding you kindly so that you can be more careful."
"Think about it, she was able to enter the palace and get in touch with Anle, so she must be a resourceful person."
"Thank you for the reminder, princess."
The princess flicked her sleeves, said to the palace maid beside her, "Go!", and left the Imperial Music Office.
