Chapter 18: Living Dream Plum
"Living Mengmei" didn't expect her to ask like this, she was a little stunned for a while, but she didn't know how to answer, a fan was upside down in her hand, and she looked at Shang Xiu'er. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
From running out of the boat last night to now, Shang Xiu'er's current appearance is quite embarrassing.
"Huo Mengmei" didn't know what she had experienced before, she just saw that her shoes and skirt were covered with mud, there were large traces of water stains on her skirt, and the clothes on her body were even more unsightly, with folds and wrinkles, and her hair looked hastily pulled up, not neat, and even her face was not clean, plus she was carrying a coarse cloth package on her back, like a refugee.
It seems that Jiu Lingxiu is not very old, and there seems to be some simplicity on her face, this face that is a little dirty and difficult to hide her beautiful color must be more outstanding when it grows up, and her eyes have not moved away from her since she recognized herself.
"Living Mengmei" no longer looked at Shang Xiu'er, turned her head and said: "Drumstick, rosin, don't delay with us, it's not good to keep you waiting." ”
The drumstick breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Shang Xiu'er, "Girl, come here." ”
Shang Xiu'er didn't react for a while, the drumstick had the courage to pull her sleeve, and she followed the drumstick, but she still turned back and looked at "Living Mengmei" while walking.
There was no emotion in those eyes, only regret and regret.
In the early spring, the weather is actually still cold, but "Living Mengmei" is a little hot in her heart, she opened the folding fan that never leaves her hand, hula hula fan a few times, and said to other women: "I can't let go of this nine-year-old show in my heart, I am not in the mood to enjoy the flowers and scenery at this time, I want to meet the Guanyin lady." ”
Rosin Xiang and drumsticks took Shang Xiu'er with them, but Rosin Xiang said in her heart: "Last night, our little guys who were close to the master were taken away by Long'er who passed on the words of Guanyin Niangzi, we still don't know about this Jiulingxiu, why do these ladies look like they know it?" In the front yard and backyard, this group of ladies we can't afford to provoke, it's too easy to inquire about whether there is any, Guanyin Lady is a wood carving Bodhisattva, don't ask about everything, you have to remind the master later, and you have to take care of it yourself. ”
At this time, Shang Xiu'er couldn't worry about herself.
No wonder, last night, the Guanyin lady said that the most important thing in this courtyard is singing, and it is no wonder that she said that the sixth master and her can't look down on their own plays, and she has "Living Dream Plum" in her courtyard, which is a famous singer who has been on stage in Zhiya Water Pavilion...... The other women, she didn't recognize, and she must not be bad, but if she thought so, she felt that her worries were a little unnecessary.
In this way, after worrying for a while and self-explanatory, Shang Xiu'er arrived at the door of Mo Forgetju again.
She hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside.
Rosin Xiang said through the curtain: "Master, the nine-year-old girl has arrived." ”
It was not the sixth master's answer, Shang Xiu'er heard it at once, it was Guanyin's voice: "Please come in." ”
Although Shang Xiu'er deliberately let herself not think about it and not look at it, the furnishings of this room were too deeply rooted in her mind, and the smell of warmth and incense reminded her of something from time to time, her heart couldn't help beating quickly, the sixth master and Guanyin Niangzi sat left and right, the atmosphere was not good, and it was a little heavy, which made Shang Xiu'er feel even more bottomless.
When Qingyou was in the twelfth year, one day the whole boat went to the restaurant for the first time, everyone drank too much, some cried, some laughed, and Hu Dad said to her happily: "Xiu'er, you have a good time." In that year, the Qubu became a sub-department of the imperial court, leading the world's Quyin, and Yu Mengyu, the first person in Northern Opera, became the deputy director of the Qu Department, which was a position that was not ranked. Even if he has a grade, with Yu Mengyu's reputation and status, how can he see the sorrow and helplessness of the world's servants? But at that time, they just felt that from now on, there were "people" in the court. Hu Dad said that this is the result, and it is also an extremely miserable case related to Lingren that was tried in Beijing for five years, implicated countless people, and some literati who were not afraid of power wrote to promote it, and the Qubu was established.
However, when she arrived in Huodu, Shang Xiu'er personally experienced the helplessness and humility of the servants.
Although the servants are now free, the children of good families are still unwilling to eat this bowl of rice. Most of the servants are floating alone, and this overwhelming power can make people disappear into this world without even speaking, thinking about the bad place, if they insist on being left here today, then who cares about Jiu Lingxiu's whereabouts? Who will be blatant?
Shang Xiu'er looked at the two people sitting on it, bowed her head and saluted, "Sixth master, madam." He also said: "Thanks to the blessing of the sixth master, I have already cut off the social interaction with the peony, and I don't know what the sixth master called me back." ”
Xiao Liuye said: "Drumsticks, rosin, you two stand down." ”
The drumstick looked at Jiulingxiu worriedly, and then secretly glanced at the silent Guanyin lady. He was a little worried in his heart, he didn't know what the lady had in mind, she loved to toss, and everyone in Xiao Yuan knew it, but in the end, the sixth master would generally listen to her.
After Xiao Liuye saw the two of them retreat, he pondered and said: "This morning, I explained the work of the people, and you were also present, listening to what you said later, it seems that I thought that I specially arranged these things for you to save you from Li Yu's hands." ”
Shang Xiu'er looked up at him with some puzzlement.
Xiao Liuye continued: "I did these things because I didn't want to make a feud with Li Yu because of last night's incident, do you understand? ”
Shang Xiu'er nodded.
She only figured it out later when she was in the sedan chair, if it wasn't for Guanyin forcing herself to that point, the sixth master would not have made a move.
For men in the world, the hatred of taking his wife can be regarded as a hatred that is not shared - although it is really just that night, outsiders see more than just that night.
Judging from the words on that absurd post, he must have entered Li Dushou's back house as a concubine or concubine, but if Li Dushou suspects in his heart that the woman he likes has been first ascended, I am afraid he will not give up.
That's why she was puzzled.
In fact, no matter whether the sixth master's original intention was for himself or for her, the result was what she Shang Xiu'er wanted, and it was inevitable that she would have to pay the price.
The sixth master deliberately called himself back, just to explain this matter, in Shang Xiu'er's opinion, it was really a bit redundant.
Xiao Liuye said again: "Since I did it for myself, I can't accept your gratitude." ”
Shang Xiu'er wondered even more, what else can I do if I thank you? Her only wish now was to get out of here as soon as possible, and never want to have anything to do with the strange and nasty people in this house again.
