Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to
Chapter 35: Choices on and off stage
Butler Qian went out to arrange for the storyteller to be sent to the palace.
Zhou Chenli stood in front of the desk and looked at the monkey painting for a while. Then he called the servant waiting outside the door and ordered, "Go and call Xu Miao from the young master's backyard."
When the servant came to inform Xu Miao, Xu Miao was watching Zhou Jiyuan eating fruit in the backyard.
Ever since the story of Sun Wukong was told, Zhou Jiyuan has become very obedient, which makes Xu Miao less worried.
When she heard the servant say that the Duke invited her to the front yard, she quickly stood up and said a few words to Zhou Jiyuan, then hurriedly followed the servant to the study in the front yard.
Zhou Jiyuan...my dad is going to be a money-giving boy again.
When Xu Miao walked into the study, she saw Zhou Chenli drinking tea beneath the giant monkey painting. Frightened, Xu Miao immediately knelt down and apologized to Zhou Chenli: "Duke, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have told the young master the story of Sun Wukong. It's causing chaos in the Duke's Mansion, and even caused the Duke to look at the monkey painting."
Zhou Chenli looked at Xu Miao, who knelt on the ground and apologized as soon as he entered the room... He admitted his guilt quite readily.
Zhou Chenli: "I didn't say you told the story badly to the young master, it's just that you told it too well."
Zhou Chenli paused and continued, "Xu Miao, let me ask you, if the storyteller wants to tell the story of Monkey King successfully, will you stand in front of the stage or hide behind the scenes?"
Zhou Chenli went straight to the point.
When Xu Miao heard Zhou Chenli ask her about this, she knelt on the ground, slightly stunned. Then she replied to Zhou Chenli, "Duke, this story was made up by Mr. Li and Mr. Ye because he loves his son so much. He made it up to entertain the little prince."
"Xu Miao is grateful for the Duke's care. It is Xu Miao's duty to serve the young master well. Xu Miao dare not take credit for it."
Seeing that Xu Miao didn't hesitate, Zhou Chenli knew that Xu Miao had also considered this matter.
Waving his hands: "It's okay, go out."
Xu Miao kowtowed to Zhou Chenli, then stood up and left the study.
When Zhou Chenli asked about this, Xu Miao had already thought about it himself.
Xu Miao has always hoped to get the protection of the Duke's Mansion. This credit is a hot potato that she, Xu Miao, cannot afford.
She just wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life, not wanting to attract attention, and she didn't dare to take credit in front of Zhou Chenli. She didn't have the ability to do so.
After hearing Xu Miao's answer, Zhou Chenli also issued a gag order to everyone in the Duke's Mansion.
Let’s just say that the story of Sun Wukong was written by Mr. Li and Mr. Ye to amuse the young master.
If anyone dares to talk nonsense, his whole family will be killed!
The Duke's Mansion had not issued such a serious order for many years, and it was issued by the Duke himself, which scared everyone in the Duke's Mansion into silence.
Most of them are servants of the Duke's Mansion, and their entire family works in the Mansion.
After hearing the instructions from the Duke, the family gathered together to urge each other on.
"Old woman, you're such a gossip. This could cost you your life. You better watch your mouth and don't go out and talk nonsense."
"Oh, you're still talking about me. I was worried that you'd drink some horse urine and forget your place, and go out and talk nonsense with others."
"Nonsense! I'm the most guarded person. Even when I was drunk, I never said anything nonsense. Tell my son and daughter to be careful. If this gets out of hand, it could cost the lives of the whole family. Don't say anything nonsense."
"I understand. Don't worry. Besides, it was those two gentlemen who wrote and drew it for the young master."
Zhou Chenli went to talk to the wife and son of Duke Dingguo himself.
The lady was fine. Zhou Chenli briefly explained the reason to her and told her that if people knew that it was Xu Miao who made up this story, he might not be able to keep Xu Miao and he might be favored by the noble in the palace.
The lady blinked her big eyes and thought for a while. This matter was really possible, so she nodded quickly and said she understood.
As for Zhou Jiyuan, the Duke was too lazy to waste time talking to him.
He called her over and started threatening her: "If you tell anyone about the story Xu Miao made up for you, then you can just wait for Xu Miao to be snatched away by someone else. I won't be responsible for anything then."
"If Xu Miao went to someone else's house, no one would continue to tell you about the Monkey King."
Zhou Jiyuan nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Don't worry, Dad. I won't tell anyone. I can't let Sister Xu tell stories to other people's houses. This story was made up by Sister Xu for Yuan."
Zhou Chenli looked at his silly son and warned him worriedly, "Just say it's a story Mr. Li wrote for you, okay?"
Zhou Jiyuan: "It was originally written by Mr. Li! Sister Xu told it to me."
Zhou Chenli: "Get back here!"
It’s no wonder that Zhou Chenli thinks Zhou Jiyuan is stupid, Xu Miao also thinks Zhou Jiyuan is wrong.
She remembered a little boy about thirteen years old, not like Zhou Jiyuan.
Let’s not talk about whether he is steady or not, the main reason is that Zhou Jiyuan has nothing to do with stability.
Shouldn't this be the time when children are about to enter puberty, when they like to be vain and a little rebellious, and should be standing against their parents every day?
But Zhou Jiyuan was like a seven or eight-year-old kid, thinking about everything from going to heaven to going to hell and eating and drinking. He didn't look like a thirteen-year-old at all.
Xu Miao asked the Duke's wife indirectly, "Aren't you worried about your son?"
Madam Duke...I'm not worried. My son looks like me. He's definitely my biological son. I was like that when I was little. I was a late bloomer, you know.
Xu Miao finally understood that this matter was just a matter of fact. She had been worrying for nothing.
It can be said that Zhou Chenli is a real man, at least that's what Xu Miao thinks of him.
Zhou Chenli shielded his wife and son from all the bad things, allowing them to see only the beautiful and happy people and things.
As a result, he raised his wife and son without worries, and they never knew what it meant to be treacherous in human nature or how difficult the world was.
Zhou Chenli...My wife and son call him Chunshan. In our circle, such people are like giant pandas, extremely precious.
Xu Miao didn't know what was pure kindness or not, he just knew that this mother and son were really lucky.
On this side, Steward Qian was busy sending the storyteller to the palace to perform for the princes and grandchildren, while on the other side, the emperor was so happy that he kept praising Zhou Chenli.
"Duke Dingguo really understands my heart. I've heard about the excitement in Duke Dingguo's mansion for a long time. I was wondering when Duke Dingguo would let me follow Lele. Now it's delivered."
The eunuch was even more eloquent: "Your Majesty, the chief steward of the Duke Dingguo's mansion said that the Duke Dingguo didn't even let the storyteller in his restaurant tell the story first, saying that the story had to be reviewed by the princes and grandchildren before it could be told to others."
"He even specifically ordered the storyteller to come dressed up first, saying he was worried the young masters in the palace wouldn't know what the monkey looked like."
"Oh, this Duke Dingguo is so thoughtful."
The Emperor said: "Go and tell all the palaces that those with children should bring them here to listen. There hasn't been anything lively in this palace for a long time."
"Also, go to my warehouse and see if I have any rare items. Send them to Duke Dingguo's mansion and say they're some little trinkets for A Yuan and his wife."
Great eunuch...The emperor's private treasury is full of treasures, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is blessed.
