Chapter Twenty-Four: Spotted Bamboo
Xiao Liuye stood outside Guanyin's house, and as soon as he entered the door of the bamboo garden, Guanyin asked Long'er to push her into the house, leaving only the door curtain dangling in the air. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
His mentality over the years is not as easy to get angry as when he first came to Huodu, but he just smiled and said through the curtain: "Long'er girl, has the lady been able to eat?" ”
Long Er replied in the house, "I have used it." ”
Cai'er teased the parrot under the eaves, she and Long'er followed Guanyin when they were very young, their names were still jokingly taken by Xiao Liuye at that time, and they each took a word from the good wealth boy and the dragon girl who followed next to Guanyin Niangniang.
Cai'er has been round for so many years, and she is also combing her hair like Long'er, and when she saw Xiao Liuye coming, she said, "The lady has a bad leg recently." ”
"Rich and talkative." Guanyin's voice came from the house: "Sixth Master don't worry, Doctor Mo has been helping me to see it, and he has also prescribed prescriptions for internal and external use." You also know that this leg is an old problem, and it is cold overnight and half a moon suffers. ”
Guanyin is telling the truth.
Xiao Liuye was silent for a while, and Fang said, "Don't do this next time." ”
Guanyin said: "If I hadn't waited in the wind and rain that night, it would be rare for you to finally meet a lovely person." ”
Her voice was still flat, Xiao Liuye had known her for many years, and she also knew that she didn't have any sour feelings when she said this "lovely" person, but he still heard it, and there was a trace of envy in that voice that only he could hear.
His nose was sour in an instant.
Guanyin said again: "It's been seven or eight years, and there are many people coming and going in Huodu, I wonder why you don't find a younger one, this Jiulingxiu, who is older, whether it is the body or the heart, it may not necessarily go your way." ”
Xiao Liuye slowly sat under the corridor, leaned against the pillars of the corridor, and said, "What I want to do can only be done by people who are firm in mind but not stupid." If she was not determined, she would not have run out on the night Li Yu handed over the post, and if she was stupid, she would not have thought of going to Boss Chen...... This girl is a piece of jade, but she has not met a craftsman...... She reminds me of ten years ago. ”
A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo leaves outside the house were blown and rattled.
The bamboo is the spotted bamboo that he asked someone to transport back from Jiuzhi Mountain at a high price, raised for so many years, some died, some survived, but perhaps it was adapted to the climate and soil of this Huodu, the surviving bamboo, although it grew luxuriantly, the spots of blood and tears on it had faded to almost invisible.
What a terrible thing time is.
Many years ago, between him and Guanyin, he couldn't mention anything related to the "play", once he thought about it, it was a piercing pain, and now he can talk about it like telling other people's stories, the scars in his heart are getting lighter and lighter, as long as the knot between the two people is no longer touched, it seems that they can also look at each other and smile peacefully.
Xiao Liuye said: "Her voice and attitude remind me of you ten years ago." ”
There was silence in the room.
Xiao Liuye looked at the bleak sky and said, "Guanyin...... Did you really let go? ”
He waited for a while, but still didn't wait for Guanyin to speak, so he said to himself: "I'm not reconciled." That night, you put a red mole on her eyebrows...... If you see her as a stand-in, then she shouldn't be in my bed. She or another you, living on the red tree, the sound of gongs and drums, the melodious flute, stretching her body, showing her singing voice, playing the emperor, the general, the talented and beautiful, and also accepting the thunderous applause from the audience...... Don't you want to see it? ”
The night breeze was cool, and the two of them never said a word inside and outside the house.
It wasn't until the moon rose and hung in the air brightly, and there were lights shining through the windows in the house, that Xiao Liuye got up and ordered: "Serve the lady well." ”
He walked out of the porch, straightened his robe, and looked back at Guanyin's room again, and when he turned around, Guanyin's voice also came out.
"I'm glad that I waited that night to help you wait for such a person."
At that moment, Xiao Liuye's eyes burst into an extremely bright look, and in the moonlight, there was something in his eyes.
Shang Xiu'er felt that she was an object that was treated carefully, and from the day she acted in four plays for Xiao Liuye to see, Xiao Liuye called Master Gu to come.
Master Gu looked at Shang Xiu'er with a look of scrutiny and study.
She has been following Guanyin Niangzi in the past few years, and Xiao Liuye usually doesn't call her, but this nine-year-old girl, Xiao Liuye passed the word twice, and specially boiled a throat-moisturizing tea for her.
Master Gu and the ladies in the back house are also more familiar with each other, and during the chat, I heard that Jiu Lingxiu's voice is somewhat similar to Guanyin, so when Guanyin proposed to let her come over to follow Shang Xiu'er in the future, she did not refuse.
Shang Xiu'er was also looking at Master Gu.
Master Gu is a slightly old lady, her gray hair is neatly combed, her eyes are slightly sharp, although there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and mouth now, her face is excellent, her hands are white and slender, she feels extremely well maintained, and she can vaguely see that she was also a beauty when she was young.
Shang Xiu'er bowed down first, and thanked with a smile: "I've seen Master Gu, the medicinal tea you boiled is very effective, and after drinking it, your throat is clear, and it's not bitter at all, but it's delicious." ”
Master Gu nodded and said, "I'm in the Sixth Master's house, that's what I'm for." ”
Shang Xiu'er stepped forward, respectfully pulled Master Gu away, let him sit down on the seat, and then stood in front of Master Gu again, and said: "The sixth master also said, you are my real master, let me learn to use my voice with you in the future, you should also know, I have not taught a serious master to play." Her face flushed slightly, and she said, "By saying this, it's not that I don't respect the person who taught me enlightenment, and he won't let me call him Master." I didn't start learning drama until I was eight years old, and it was already too late. Wandering outside, in fact, it is sitting in a well and watching the sky, according to the sixth master, everything has to be done from the beginning, so you must be strict with me, otherwise I will live up to the sixth master, and I will also live up to my own heart. ”
After finishing speaking, he knelt down, kowtowed to Master Gu three times, got up, and took a cup of tea and bowed his head and sent it to Master Gu.
Master Gu was stunned for a moment.
The sixth master mentioned the matter of apprenticeship to her, but he didn't expect Jiu Lingxiu to be so solemn.
When she was in her thirties, Xiao Liuye didn't know where to find her, and she was hired with a lot of money, hoping to do a career together, but who knows, something happened in the middle, and it was ten years of silence.
She took the teacup and took a sip.
Looking at Shang Xiu'er's joy from his heart, Master Gu put down the teacup, his expression became solemn, and said, "Since you regard me as a master, I naturally want to treat you as a disciple." You have to understand that Xiao Liuye's intentions are quite good, because I am a woman, not only to be your master, but also to take care of your daily life from today onwards, these trivial things, some men do not understand, and some are inconvenient. ”
