Chapter 233 Helping the Young Marquis Rehearse the Chapter List
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the outdoor barbecue ended and everyone rode on horses, heading towards the imperial city under the moonlight.
Zhao Yanran also wanted to ride horses with everyone, but unfortunately her riding skills were not very good, so she had to take her own carriage back to the prime minister's residence.
When they arrived at the city gate, since everyone lived in different directions and could not walk together, they said goodbye and went home.
The Crown Prince and the Young Marquis insisted on escorting Qianhuan back to the teahouse.
After watching Qianhuan enter the house, the two turned around and left.
The next day, Qianhuan took people to look for a house in the suburbs. She had been thinking about reopening a soy sauce shop in the capital to brew soy sauce.
After the prince learned the news from Leng Feng and Leng Yu, he immediately ordered Chi Ying.
"Go and vacate my largest farm in the suburbs of Beijing and sell it to them at the lowest price."
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
Chi Ying felt that, given their prince's attitude towards Miss Qianhuan, their Prince An's Mansion would probably have a mistress soon.
Although the woman's status was too low and she was not worthy of his own prince, as long as the master liked her, he, as a subordinate, would be happy too.
Thanks to Chiying's arrangement, Qianhuan's purchase of the farm went very smoothly this time.
"Brother Yunlong, the farm has been bought. Bring your people here tomorrow to buy soybeans nearby. Once everything is ready, we will start brewing soy sauce."
Master Cai nodded, "Yes, I understand."
Qianhuan had never written a letter to her family since she came to Beijing. After returning from the farm, she specially wrote a letter and asked Ji Feng to send it to the post station and send it back to Qingxi County.
In the letter, she informed her parents of her and Wenjie's recent situation in Beijing, and told Liang Laoer and Liu to ask Manager Ji to bring a few capable servants to Beijing after receiving the letter, because she planned to open a soy sauce shop in Beijing.
The letter also asked her parents to ask Manager Ji to bring her more soy sauce.
Because the large jar of soy sauce that Qianhuan brought before was not enough, she divided it into two small jars and gave them to Mr. Fan and her senior brother respectively.
Qianhuan has recently been busy making soy sauce on the farm.
Meng Yuanzhou has been busy preparing for the performance.
He went to the Royal Song and Dance Troupe every day. There were many musicians and dancers in the Royal Song and Dance Troupe. Whenever there was a large-scale event, the music and dance would be choreographed and performed by the people of the Royal Song and Dance Troupe.
However, they choreographed several songs and dances, but Meng Yuanzhou was not satisfied with any of them.
"What kind of dance are you guys doing? There's no momentum at all, and you're all twisting your body like sickly people. Do you want foreign envoys to come and see our Great Yuan Kingdom make a fool of itself?"
The steward of the Royal Song and Dance Troupe wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained carefully.
"Young Marquis, you don't know that the dances of our Dayuan country have always been beautiful in softness, and the dancers are only good at soft dances. I really don't know what the vigorous dance you are talking about is like."
"This Marquis wants the other four nations to see the vigor and vigor of our Great Abyss Nation. If you dance such a feminine dance, those foreigners will only laugh at our Great Abyss Nation for being weak and incompetent."
"Yes, I will ask the musicians and dancers to choreograph a new dance music."
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed, and the dance music re-arranged by the musicians could not satisfy the young marquis.
"I am really pissed off. You are a bunch of good-for-nothings who can't even compose a decent dance. There is only half a month left before the cultural exchange between all countries in Dayuan. How can I report this to His Majesty?"
Seeing that his son was worried about the performance for the past month, Adong offered some advice to his master.
"Master, Miss Qianhuan was playing the piano by the lake that day. Didn't you enjoy it? Why don't we ask Miss Qianhuan for help?"
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Let's go find Qianhuan."
The master and servant came to the teahouse. Now this Half-Day Qinghuan Garden has been renamed "The No. 1 Garden in the World". Hanging on the gate is the plaque bestowed by the emperor.
Unfortunately, Qianhuan was not in the teahouse today. She was making soy sauce with her servants on the farm.
"Young Marquis, you might as well come back later. Our boss will be back in an hour."
"No need. Just give me a pot of tea. I will wait for her to come back in the teahouse while listening to the opera."
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away."
It was already evening when Qianhuan came back. Upon learning the purpose of the young marquis' visit, Qianhuan happily nodded and agreed. After all, choreography and music were her strong point.
"Brother Yuanzhou, this is not a problem for me. You just want a majestic song and a dance that can show the power of our Dayuan Nation. I already have a very suitable dance song in mind."
"Qianhuan, you are so amazing. I just said it, and you have already thought about it in your mind so quickly?"
"Ah."
Qianhuan thought, why does she need to compose the music herself? Her mind is filled with a library of Chinese songs, and she can shock the whole audience by picking out any song.
"Great, Qianhuan, I'll invite you to have dinner at Zuixianju now. After dinner, you can go to the Royal Song and Dance Troupe with me."
"Are you so anxious?"
"Well, His Majesty only gave me two months to prepare. One and a half months have already passed, and there is only half a month left. Time is really tight."
"Okay, Brother Yuanzhou, don't worry, I'll accompany you to the Royal Song and Dance Troupe after dinner."
After Meng Yuanzhou listened to Qianhuan's song, he was shocked. "Qianhuan, you are my savior. The song you just played and sang is exactly what I want."
"Brother Yuanzhou, if this song is sung and performed by a man, the effect may be better, and it will shock the foreign envoys even more."
"Where can we find a man who can sing?"
"I heard that the prince is in charge of the Shen Ce Camp. Why don't you go and borrow fifty soldiers from him? I will teach these soldiers and ensure that they can rehearse the program within half a month."
"it is good."
This young marquis discussed rehearsals with Qianhuan every day, which made the prince feel very uncomfortable. Knowing that he came to borrow soldiers, he wanted to make things difficult for him.
After Meng Yuanzhou's repeated persuasion, the prince finally nodded and agreed. After all, he knew the seriousness of the matter.
Next, Qianhuan handed over the affairs of the soy sauce shop to Manager Ji who came from Qingxi County, and she went to the Royal Song and Dance Troupe every day to help the young marquis rehearse programs.
That day, the princess asked about the young marquis, and the servant replied, "The young marquis has been in the Royal Song and Dance Troupe every day recently, and he has a woman with him."
"Do you know which family that woman belongs to?"
"Reporting to the Princess, that woman is not a daughter of an official family. She is the peasant girl that the young marquis told you he wanted to marry."
"Could it be that Zhou'er is still entangled with that little peasant girl? Prepare the horses immediately. I want to go meet that woman in person."
"Yes."
The eldest princess was furious. She thought that the woman must be trying to curry favor with a rich and powerful man and was pestering her son and refused to give up.
She had to teach this woman a lesson today. She had to let her know that the gate of their royal family was not something that people of low status like them could enter.
It just so happened that today Qianhuan sent the young marquis to customize suitable performance costumes for the performers.
At this time, only Qianhuan and the fifty soldiers were rehearsing songs.
When the princess arrived at the lobby of the Royal Song and Dance Troupe, she asked the steward to call someone to see her.
Qianhuan was very confused as to why the eldest princess would specifically look for her for no reason.
When she entered the front hall, the eldest princess was startled when she saw Qianhuan walking in.
No wonder this woman could make his son so infatuated with her. She had such a stunning beauty. It was true that beauty was the root of all disasters.
The eldest princess immediately disliked Qianhuan. She felt that only a lady from a noble family was worthy of her son, and a woman of lowly status like this was not even worthy of being a concubine.
