Because of the affairs of the Supreme Emperor and the old concubine, the entire court became busy. On the occasion of the national mourning, everyone had their own busy schedules.
This is true not only of the Rongguo Mansion, but also of other wealthy and luxurious families.
And because during the national mourning period, people are not allowed to have fun, and everyone is afraid that because they can't control themselves, they will harm themselves, miss their future, and end up in a completely white and clean state.
Therefore, in all the houses of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the entire Shenjing City, all those who kept actors and actresses in captivity were sent away without being sent away. They would be brought back after the period of national mourning.
After all, compared with romantic affairs, one's own power and wealth are the most important things.
Tanchun and others discussed and formulated some measures for this matter.
When Concubine Yuan returned home to visit relatives in Ning, a large number of opera troupes were invited to the Rongguo Mansion, and many of them were not deported and stayed in the Rongguo Mansion.
The saying at the time was that those who are willing to stay, stay.
If they don't want to stay, they will be sent back.
Jia Qiang's current daughter-in-law, Lingguan, is one of the remaining female actors from the original period.
Tanchun thought about it in his mind and felt that this matter was unreasonable, so he continued: "When my wife comes back, you can ask all seventeen of you. If no one is willing to go back, I will bring the letter and call my parents." Come and take it back in person and give us a few taels of silver.
The Rongguo Mansion also got the news from the palace and the wives of my family, and nodded and said: "You have also heard about this matter. This matter is a national funeral ceremony, but I can keep you here again." I live at home so as not to bring trouble to our family, he can just go up and arrange the matter."
Tan Chun hesitated, wanting to retain Wang Xifeng, but he knew it was possible.
Tanchun came to Zhao Chengfan's house, looked at Rongguo Mansion, and said, "Madam, you don't have any boys in your family. People in the capital have sent them back. Your family should do the same."
Tanchun added, "You haven't calculated it yet. There are seventeen boys left in total."
It's always useless.
With that said, Tanchun went in and out of Zhao Chengfan's house again, said goodbye to Rongguo Mansion, and went to Wang Xifeng's house alone to discuss the matter with Wang Xifeng.
He also said: "Those people were originally bought by your family for Concubine Yuan's return to Ning for marriage. Now, although you have learned to sing, you can keep them as maids to serve. They will be regarded as maids in the house. If you are an actor again, then It's also in line with the rules. We can just let the disciples go."
Tan Chun smiled and said, "That's exactly what you meant. You just had to be cautious. Now after listening to Sister Feng's words, my thoughts have become clearer."
Although there are not so many old people left in our family now, this is also because each of us did not stay here separately. We are willing to go back, so we stayed as servants. When we are young, we will be worthy of the big boys in our family. .
Tanchun also went up to make arrangements.
None of them had parents who were dead, or were sold by uncles and brothers.
I didn’t say that even though I didn’t have my parents, I only wanted to sell you, and I still sold you when I left.
If I call my parents and relatives, I'm afraid someone will take it out under my name and resell me. Wouldn't it be a failure of your bad intentions, but a good thing done by the bad intentions? The grace is in vain, but it is a hindrance to evil.
Hearing this, Rong Guofu was silent for a long time before saying: "The actors who are learning opera are a little less delicate than these maid elves who are often used to manipulate them. I thought that their hands and feet must also be nimble and agile." of.
It didn’t say that there was anyone to turn to, nor did it say that love should be given up.
As for the Yun Mansion, it has always been as difficult as yours, and there has been no comprehensive solution for a long time.
Tanchun walked over and said, "My wife refused, and she even praised you for doing a good job in this matter!"
After Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu and others returned from the palace to express their condolences in the morning, they returned home to live, and they also met Tanchun later.
Then he sent Wang Xifeng away.
In the end, there were only seven or seven male actors who wanted to leave Zhao Chengfan.
Just people.
Just take care of your own affairs. "
Now you are indeed as close as you ever were.
If there is no one who is willing to go back, just stay. The elders in the house are not old enough to get married yet, and there are still some who are not married. When the time comes, you can go and ask if there are any unsatisfactory ones. If they can become a couple, this is also a good deed. , if you don’t accumulate merit and good deeds for your family.
There were a number of items outside the Pear Fragrance Courtyard. After everyone in the mansion had checked the number and registered the items, they sent someone out late at night to call the seventeen boys for questioning, but not half of them were willing to come back. House's:
Now that we don't have that opportunity, it's like giving us a few taels of silver as payment and telling you to disperse and go home.
After hearing the news that Tanchun came to report, Rongguo Mansion had no choice but to keep those male actors who were willing to leave.
After that, everyone wanted to send away the man in that family.
How does your wife feel if she knows your arrangement? "
As an actor, I spent several years pretending to be a fool to earn a living.
When Shang Tanchun sent someone to sue Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing, the matter was finally settled.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "That's bad. It's already getting dark, so you should go back. It's bad to stay outside for a long time."
Nowadays, we are losing our yin and favoring virtue, and have accumulated a lot of bad karma. He has also seen what happened in recent years, and it seems to be getting worse every day.
Because I was capable and had a way out, I sold myself out and did this kind of thing.
When Wang Xifeng saw Tan Chun coming, she quickly asked, "Did Madam refuse?"
Rong Guofu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Those words are very appropriate and thoughtful. But you should do it that way. If your kindness leads to doing good things, it will be a bad thing."
Talking to the daughters-in-law and stewards in the prime minister's house, each actor was given four taels of silver to teach him, so that he could do what he wanted, and that was the end of the matter.
What's more, we are also sons and daughters of this bad family.
Before Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing learned about it, they both agreed with it or not.
Wang Xifeng nodded: "This matter is necessary. If I don't tell my wife, I'm afraid it won't be good. It's the worst if I send him away as soon as possible. If he stays, he will be a hidden danger sooner or later."
The seven or seven people who were about to leave were all asked to be taken home by their godmothers, and they were only waiting for my parents to come to take them away. Those who wanted to go were gathered together in the garden to serve them. There was no such example in ancestral watches back then.
Tan Chun discussed with Wang Xifeng: "All the high-ranking families in the city are doing this. If we can't do it, we're afraid of being plotted and remembered by others, causing trouble, and not being very gregarious. If we want to repatriate, we still need to discuss it with my wife. Only two talents are needed.”
