Chapter 285 Famous Characters in the Capital
"Have you heard? There's a famous opera singer in Beijing. His figure and voice have captivated countless people. It's a pity that the tickets are too expensive, otherwise I would go and see him!"
"Of course famous actors are expensive. Not to mention ordinary people, even high-ranking officials have to buy tickets if they want to watch the opera. Moreover, tickets are hard to come by. The theater is packed every day!"
Chu Wanyu, who was taking someone's pulse, pricked up her ears to listen to gossip.
Hearing the discussion, his eyes flashed.
Life is boring. I go to the same place every day, between the clinic and the palace.
She rubbed her chin with her slender fingers. "It's so popular, I want to go see it too."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man dressed in white, who looked like a gentleman, walked in.
The gentleman's ink is as white as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world.
What a handsome, elegant young man.
Chu Wanyu's eyes were burning, and even when the man sat opposite her, her eyes were still staring blankly, in a trance.
"Miracle doctor!"
A voice as gentle as jade sounded in my ears.
Chu Wanyu came back to her senses, coughed awkwardly twice, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I stay up late every day and I'm exhausted. I hope the doctor can take a look!"
"it is good!"
While taking the pulse, Chu Wanyu asked casually, "Judging from your accent, you're not a local?"
"My name is Mo Ruyu! I just came to the capital a few days ago and was singing in the Liyuan Opera..." The man's voice was like jade beads falling on a plate, slowly entering his ears.
As the name suggests, he is as gentle as jade.
Chu Wanyu's smile grew even brighter. "Then sir, could you tell me something about the theater?"
"Of course..." Mo Ruyu has traveled far and wide and is knowledgeable, and speaks in a witty and humorous way.
When he spoke, he not only talked about opera, but also shared some of his experiences.
Chu Wanyu listened with great interest. "It was a great experience chatting with you, sir. I will definitely go to the opera someday and chat with you again!"
"Okay! I'll be waiting for the miracle doctor to arrive!"
Mo Ruyu took the medicine prescribed by Chu Wanyu and turned to leave.
He looked back every few steps, as if he was reluctant to leave, but he walked to the corner and turned several times into a dark alley.
The light was dim, and I saw someone throwing a purse over.
Mo Ruyu quickly took it and opened the purse, which contained several banknotes. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for the reward."
The person in the dark didn't say anything, but turned and left.
Mo Ruyu looked at the man's back, a smile on his lips, and tightly grasped the banknotes in his hand.
Night falls.
At the dinner table, Chu Wanyu talked incessantly.
"That famous actor is very handsome, with a feminine beauty, yet still masculine. It's a pity he's a little thin, but with my care, he'll definitely become much stronger!"
"And his voice, just by the way he speaks, you can tell he must be a good singer..."
The chirping sound continued.
Xiao Lijing looked at the table full of delicious food but it tasted like chewing wax.
He looked up and saw Chu Wanyu, who was beaming with joy and praising other men, with a gloomy expression.
"Is the man handsome?"
"Yes!"
"Does it sound nice?"
"Correct!"
"Those fingers are long and slender, pleasing to the eye?"
Xiao Lijing asked several questions in a row, but Chu Wanyu was in an excited state and didn't pay attention.
But when I looked up and saw that sinister face, my rationality returned.
She chuckled, "I'm just curious. After all, it's a bit boring to be in the palace! Anyway, we can go to the theater together!"
"My king, I am very busy!"
Xiao Lijing looked unhappy and put a piece of braised pork, which Chu Wanyu disliked, into her bowl. "Don't waste food!"
Look at the greasy meat.
Chu Wanyu's mouth twitched as she muttered in dissatisfaction, "You know I don't like it, this is blatant revenge!"
She thought she was talking to herself.
Xiao Lijing has had sensitive ears since he was a child.
The corners of his mouth curved up, "Eat it!"
"Humph!"
Chu Wanyu picked up the piece of braised pork reluctantly, her whole face wrinkled.
She glanced at Xiao Lijing and smiled slightly. In a flash, she raised her head and quickly stuffed the piece of braised pork into his mouth.
Xiao Lijing, "..."
Chu Wanyu chuckled, "Your Majesty, you cannot waste food!"
Xiao Lijing's face was tense as he swallowed the braised pork. "A woman should be gentle and respectful. She shouldn't go to such a filthy place! If you want to listen to an opera, you can invite the troupe to the palace!"
Women from noble families would never appear in theaters.
If they wanted to listen to a play, they would lavishly invite the entire cast of actors back home.
Chu Wanyu scoffed at this, thinking that a lively place would have a better atmosphere.
She didn't take Xiao Lijing's words to heart, but instead thought about going to see it in person.
In the next few days, news about Mo Ruyu could be heard every day when taking his pulse.
In just a few days, Mo Ruyu had become a famous figure in the capital.
It attracted a large number of people and tickets were hard to come by.
Listening to these discussions every day, Chu Wanyu felt itchy in her heart. There were not many patients that day, and she was just about to go to the theater, but unexpectedly, the devil appeared as soon as she mentioned him.
