The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 55 Young Master, walk slower

 The people on the stage were wearing costumes and heavy makeup unique to actors. Their every move was smooth and flowing, and their voices were very beautiful. However, one sentence was sung in nine melodies and eighteen turns, and Du Wan could not understand a single word.

 It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand.

 But she can pretend, just hold it with a smile.

At this moment, Du Wan suddenly understood why men were not invited to the banquet.

In the upper-class circles of the capital, it is a common pastime for ladies to comment on actors like this, but after all, they have to avoid people. Moreover, Great Qin's restrictions on women were not as harsh as Du Wan imagined. Husbands and wives who could not get along could still reconcile. They only needed to go to the government to register, and the woman could take away the dowry and remarry.

This is like when Du Wan disappeared and came back last time. Her innocence and reputation were damaged, but so what?

Du Wan is still a noble daughter, and she still has a noble status.

Every noble lady still bows her head when seeing him.

 Imperial power in this world is like an unreachable mountain, pressing on everyone's head.

 At this time, among the girls laughing, they would pay attention to Du Wan from time to time.

Su Yu took a sip of fragrant tea and fell into deep thought.

 At the moment, the atmosphere of the banquet is good for Du Wan, but it is not so good for some people with ulterior motives. She was looking forward to today's banquet wholeheartedly, just to see Du Wan make a fool of herself, and now she was somewhat unwilling to do so.

 To break the stiff atmosphere at this moment, we need a bold bird.

 Any girl with some brains is not willing to be the one who stands out...

However, there are many smart people in this world, and there is also no shortage of brainless people.

 Among them, Xie Ying has been holding her breath and indignant since Du Wan appeared.

 Why? !

Why can she be so high and mighty, but she has to be warned by her mother not to offend Du Wan again.

 Just a straw-bag princess, what’s so big about it? Fortunately, Xiao misses her brother.

Xie Ying glared at Du Wan secretly.

Du Wan suddenly looked sideways and met Xie Ying's angry glare.

 Thinking of who she was, Du Wan couldn't help but smile mockingly at her.

 Xie Ying was immediately furious.

 It just happened that the song was finished at this time.

 One by one, the actors who had not yet taken off their makeup came on stage to take their final call.

 According to normal operation, this is a stage of asking for rewards.

But Xie Ying suddenly stood up, pointed at one of the actors maliciously and said: "You! Come up and pour wine for the princess. The most noble person here today is our Princess Jiaoyang, take good care of her. Serve her." Well, I have a big reward for you."

The actor who was suddenly named was a slender young man.

 As soon as he heard Xie Ying's words, he was stunned, and then became very frightened.

 In the eyes of everyone waiting to see the good show.

Du Wan chuckled and said, "Okay, young man, come up and pour some wine."

 The surroundings were silent for a moment.

Shouldn’t the princess become angry with shame? This development is not quite right!

The young man stepped forward hesitantly, knelt down meekly at Du Wan's table, lowered his eyebrows, picked up the jug and poured wine for Du Wan. When the wine was seventy percent full, he stopped, gently put down the wine bottle, and then silently stepped aside and knelt down, not even daring to raise his head.

On his first day as an actor, his master warned him.

 In order to get more rewards, you can occasionally wink on stage.

 Once you step down, you must abide by your duties.

Only by recognizing your own identity can you live a long life...

Du Wan picked up the wine glass and smelled it. It was fruit wine.

 Took a small sip and felt good.

So Du Wan praised: "This wine is good, I am very satisfied. Okay, you go down, remember to ask Miss Xie for a thousand taels of silver."

 “Thank you, Princess.”

The young actor kowtowed to thank him and bent down to retreat. Xie Ying looked disgusted at this time.

 One thousand taels!

This **** really dares to say that!

Even if Xie Ying is our lady, one thousand taels is not a small amount.

 The Dingbei Hou Mansion gives five taels of pocket money to the daughter-in-law every month, and only sixty taels can be saved in a year without spending it. On weekdays, her mother privately subsidizes her, and her brother gives her money during the holidays. Xie Ying's private bank account has been saved for more than ten years, which is only more than 2,000 taels. At this time, Du Wan's light words reduced nearly half of his words.

Du Wan saw the young man crossing Xie Ying's table without stopping.

 “Xie Ying, reward me quickly!”

Du Wan's little feet under the hem of her skirt were dangling excitedly again, "Young gentleman, walk slower, there is also a reward of one thousand taels of silver. The dignified girl from Dingbeihou Mansion, thank you for your reward from the Seventh Young Master. My sister is not the kind of villain who talks **** and doesn’t keep her word.”

 Xie Ying's beautiful face twisted for a moment.

In full view of everyone, she could only open her purse and take out a thousand-tael silver note. Today is the Ghost Festival, and Wangyue Tower is expensive. She specially brought out a thousand taels to fill the occasion, but she didn't expect that it would be gone in the blink of an eye.

The young man who received the silver reward immediately thanked him and left.

Du Wan said half-jokingly: "Xie Ying, look at how painful your body is. You won't be able to reward me now and then ask for it back later."

Xie Ying smiled dryly and said: "The princess is joking, I'm not that poor."

“That’s right. It’s only a thousand taels, which is nothing for Dingbei Houfu.”

“…” Xie Ying’s fingers holding the handkerchief under the table turned white.

 Don’t lose your mind!

 Absolutely not!

 One actor has retired, but there are still many on the stage.

For example, the mainstay of the actors, Qiao Da, is still there.

Du Wan glanced at Du Yunrong and Su Yu, and the two of them were immediately alert.

I always felt that there was something strange in Du Wan's eyes, which made her uneasy and kind-hearted.

Suddenly Du Wan smiled and waved to all the actors, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and pour wine for all the girls. This is the first time for this princess to hear you sing in an opera. They are different. They are all regular customers. For example, Du Yunrong Miss, I have even gone to listen to several of Mr. Qiao’s performances, and I really appreciate Mr. Qiao.”

Du Yunrong: “…”

No!

 What are you admiring? It’s pure slander!

But just now she said personally that she had heard a few plays. If he denies it now, wouldn't it overturn his previous statement? Du Yunrong didn't want to slap herself in the face, so she could only acquiesce with tears.

The princess spoke, and a group of actors stepped forward.

Some of them are bold, and when pouring wine for the noble ladies, they will give a few gentle words of advice or wink.

 Normally no girl will lose her temper at this time.

Of course, no matter how happy you feel in your heart, you still have to look good on the outside.

Du Wan picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

 It has fallen, it has fallen!

The development of this banquet was completely opposite to what she expected.

 Originally, she thought that a banquet for ladies would be like nothing else. It's just a show of talent, such as playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc. It's great to add music, such as singing a ditty or something.

Who would have expected that the opening scene would be a group of handsome actors.

There was a young man who wandered over to Su Yu.

Just as Su Yu was about to refuse, Du Wan suddenly said: "Everyone Qiao, let's pour wine for Miss Yun Rong, and then go take care of Miss Su Yu. This is the rumored most talented woman in the capital. If she can be taken care of... I'm so happy, maybe I'll write you a playbook and make your troupe more prosperous."

Hearing this, Su Yu just wanted to curse.

She was sitting upright, but why did the fire burn her?
