In the northwest corner of the capital, Xiangyun Opera Troupe. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Early in the morning, the master of the troupe shouted to everyone: "Hurry up and pack up, it's time to go back to Huzhou, move quickly, the foot strength is set, and strive to go home tomorrow to warm up the kang head!" ”

This Xiangyun opera troupe is a well-known opera troupe in Huzhou. A few days ago, I received a post invitation from some wealthy families in the capital to sing and celebrate their birthdays in the mansions of these rich families, and this silver was a lot of money. Then, I rested for two days, and bought some fun and delicious food in the capital and went back to coax my mother-in-law and children. No, today's belongings have been packed, the carriage has been put on, and I am ready to go home.

At this time, a follower-looking man ran over panting, followed by an unusually good-looking young man.

"Class Master!" The attendant shouted, "Someone is looking for you." ”

Master Hong furrowed his brows in embarrassment.

As soon as he looked at the person, he knew that this person was not an ordinary person, he was well-dressed, his eyebrows were clear, and he looked like a small servant of a rich and noble family. Moreover, with a money bag in his hand, swaying around, he understood the purpose of this man's coming.

"This young master, I'm really embarrassed." The master of the Hong class greeted him, and before the young man could speak, he clasped his fists with both hands and said apologetically, "Our Xiangyun Opera Troupe is going back today, and we won't take orders." ”

The young man looked around and nodded: "Are you going back to Huzhou?" ”

The owner of the Hong class was not surprised at all, the flag they played clearly stated that it was "Huzhou Xiangyun Opera Troupe", presumably the young man glanced at the flag when he passed by.

"That's right." The boy nodded again.

"Exactly?" Master Hong was a little confused, "This young master, aren't you here to place an order?" ”

The young man glanced at him: "If I didn't come to place an order, what would I do here?" ”

Master Hong was a little dazed: "Oh yes, if you didn't come to place an order, of course it would be impossible to come to our drama troupe, but our troupe is going back to Huzhou today, and we can't take orders." ”

The young man was almost stunned by Master Hong's tongue twister, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, listen to me." Today I came to your Hongjia opera troupe, of course I came to place an order. However, after you take the order, you are not singing here. ”

Master Hong was even more at a loss: "Then where are you going to let us sing?" ”

The boy quickly said the destination: "Huzhou." ”

Hong Bantou was overjoyed, which coincided with their trip today. But......

"This young master, you are from the capital, why do you want to place an order for us to return to Huzhou to sing?" Hong Bantou didn't understand.

For a long time, only opera troupes from all over the world have been invited to sing in the capital, and it is the first time I have heard of being invited to sing locally.

The young man seemed to see the confusion of the class master Hong, and said: "This class master, you don't know that my son-in-law went to Beijing to get fame and fame, and he didn't go home for a few years, and the old lady in the family was very worried. When the son left home, because the old lady liked to watch the play very much, she agreed with her family to communicate the news through the play, and sang the interesting stories of the capital to her old man through the play, and reported her safety by the way. ”

Only then did the master of Hong suddenly realize: "I see, it's really difficult for your son-in-law to be filial." ”

The young man generously put the money bag in the hand of the class master Hong, and said, "I wonder if the class master is willing to help with this?" ”

There was a heavy feeling of silver in his hand, and the master of the Hong class immediately smiled like a flower on his face, and he agreed with his mouth.

The young man told him again, returned to Huzhou, set up a stage on the shore of Qixing Lake, sang for three days and three nights, and sang about the recent interesting things in the capital, just like "The unknown chivalrous man saw the injustice, and the little bully in the capital was cut off and defeated" and the like.

As long as there is silver, the Hong team sings everything, and immediately looked at the silver while nodding their heads like chickens pecking rice.

The young man saw that things were done, and he didn't stay long, and soon left the Xiangyun Opera Troupe and disappeared into the crowd of people coming and going.

The matter about Huo Wu's severed finger quickly caused an uproar in the Weining Hou Mansion.

When Huo Wu was sent to the Weining Marquis Mansion by his brothers, he was almost unconscious in pain. His face was pale, and he covered his severed finger, and although he covered the wound with a cloth, the blood was still gushing, gushing out and dripping all the way.

The second lady hurriedly walked out, and when she saw Huo Wu's tragic condition, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. She couldn't have imagined that she wanted to give this nephew a chance to make meritorious service and perform well, but who would have thought that before the merit was made, there would be two missing fingers...... How do you explain this to the eldest sister?!

When she thought of her tough eldest sister, she couldn't help but feel terrified.

Her eldest sister has the demeanor of her mother, with a pungent nature, doing things in a hurry, vigorous and resolute, she was in charge of the entire family's business in Huzhou at a young age, and she took care of a huge family in an orderly manner, even her brother, now the general of Zhenbei, had to listen to her.

Therefore, when this aunt and grandmother handed a letter written in a commanding tone to the second lady, how dare the second lady disobey? immediately discussed with the second master, directly sent Huo Wu to the patrol camp, and gave a small leader to do it for him, which can be regarded as an explanation for the eldest aunt and grandmother.

But now, everyone has an accident, how can she explain?

But my aunt and grandmother only gave birth to such an only child......

Huo Wu covered his fingers, his ten fingers connected to his heart, he was in pain, and he only cried sadly: "Second aunt save me, second aunt wants to avenge me." ”

The second lady was so panicked that her hands trembled, and she didn't dare to touch Huo Wu's injured hand at all, and shouted out vigorously: "Come on, come on, take my post quickly, and ask the Imperial Doctor Mai in the palace to come over!" ”

Three or two of the people ran out.

"Good Wu'er, don't be afraid, the second aunt is here, it's okay, Doctor Mai will come over soon, everything will be fine." The second lady could only comfort him like this.

Dr. Mai quickly rushed over with a medicine box, cleaned the wound for Huo Wu, bandaged it, and prescribed the medicine for internal and external use, saying that he would come over every day to change the medicine before leaving.

Huo Wu, exhausted by the pain, fell into a deep sleep.

The second lady guarded Huo Wu until dark, and wanted to wait for the second master to come back to ask for an idea, but at this time, the second master went out on business again, and it would take two or three days to come back. She did not dare to alarm the old lady, and spent the night in fear, and when the sun turned west the next day, the last thing she expected to see had happened.

In the evening, the remnant sun is like blood.

Several carriages stopped at the gate of the Mansion of the Marquis of Weining, and the horses and carriages of the carriages were dusty, and even the grooms who drove the carriages seemed to be covered in dust and dust.

As soon as the carriages stopped, the grooms jumped down from the wheels, quickly removed the stools, lifted the curtain on the door of one of the carriages at the front, and the two maids carefully helped a woman of about forty years of age and a slightly blessed figure out of the carriage.

This woman was surrounded by pearls and emeralds, wearing a large sleeve dress with red edges on a blue background, and her arms were holding a red shawl, which dragged down to the ground for a long time, and she knew that she was from a wealthy family at a glance.

The carriages behind came down one after another, and then all of them rushed to the vicinity of the woman to stand, and there were dozens of women.

They lined up in front of the Weining Marquis Mansion, and the situation was obviously that they had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

The woman stood in the center, and although there was a look of exhaustion on her face, there was obvious anger in her eyes, and she did not say much, but only snorted, and immediately a servant woman stepped forward and slapped the brass ring on the corner door with a loud sound.

The old man Huang who was guarding the corner door was awakened, and he climbed out to open the door, and when he saw the formation in front of him, he couldn't help but be startled.

It seems that no one has ever dared to go wild in front of the Weining Marquis Mansion......

"Go, tell your second lady to go, just say that her eldest sister from Huzhou is here and wants to see her!" The woman stiffened.

Although Old Man Huang didn't understand the relationship between this person from Huzhou and the second lady, he was not good at seeing it, and he was afraid that he would suffer if he said more, so Old Man Huang didn't dare to ask again, and said in a good voice: "Wait a minute, everyone." "I ran in and reported it.

There were not many doors, the corner door was wide open, and Old Man Huang respectfully welcomed the person in.

The woman took a group of maid ring servants around her, followed the maid ring who led the way, passed the weeping flower gate, and arrived in the courtyard of the second lady.

The second lady let the lamp be in charge of the lamp early, and stood under the stone steps in front of the main hall to greet her.
