The stage was built temporarily, and in the old days, people chose the largest courtyard to set up the stage when they had a main courtyard and a cross courtyard, at least fifty or sixty houses, and did not interfere with the usual family living and use. The Fengqiao Mansion is a typical Western European building, with no front and back and cross-courtyard, so it had to set up a stage at the entrance of the hall in the garden, and the house adjacent to the stage was used as the backstage, and there was also a hall for male and female guests. The east and west sides are hung down as a place for female guests to watch the play. The tent in the courtyard is a place for male guests to watch plays. Both the shed and the stage are made of formal building materials, and they are built like a decorative theater.

When the guests enter the makeshift theater, they first go to the house to congratulate the host, who is always there to return the salute and then invite them to sit down to watch the play. The guest seats in the courtyard are still on the old scale, with a square table, two official hat chairs side by side in the front, and two large square stools on each side. This table, two chairs, and four stools are collectively called an "official seat". Under the steps of the main hall, a number of "official seats" are placed symmetrically on the left and right, and an aisle is set aside in the middle. The table has a big red embroidered table circumference, the chair has a big red embroidered chair cushion, a chair drape, and a big red stool cover for the stool. In front of a number of "official seats", a number of rows of spring stools (also known as two-person stools, equivalent to the area of two large square stools) are displayed, and they are placed in front of the stage one by one, and there are also big red feather gauze stool covers, but there are no tables. If the play starts before noon and continues after dinner, it is customary to call it "with lights" or "night with lights". Where "with lights" will be served in addition to the lunch and dinner banquets, a snack will be entertained, called "lamp fruit". There is no separate seat, but a number of plates of sweet buns, meat buns, yellow cakes, and small eight pieces are placed on each table in the place where the play is watched. Tea can be changed at any time.

The boxy stage is fenced on three sides, and one side is open for the actors to play. Under the steps on the left side of the railing, sat an artist playing the huqin and playing the board. Since it has just opened, many guests have not yet arrived. Wan Chun and Jin Li did not go to the women's seat, but pulled Bool to sit in the second row of the men's seat. Jin Li called a messenger from the Fengqiao Mansion and asked him which troupe he invited and what kind of drama he was singing.

The listener smiled and said that he had invited two troupes, and everything that the guests wanted to listen to could be ordered, so that the backstage was ready to sing. When Jin Li heard this, she bluntly said that this was a good idea, so she ordered him to take the play list, handed it to Wan Chun and Bo Ol and said with a smile: "Big brother, what kind of drama do you and Sister Wan want to listen to, just order it." ”

Bool was forcibly pulled over by Wanchun and Jin Li to sit, and he didn't mean to listen to the play. Seeing this, he pushed back and said, "No, I'm a random person, you can watch it." ”

Jin Li pursed her lips, seeing that he didn't understand his feelings, she directly opened the play list and browsed it roughly. Because it is used to celebrate the birthday, it is a good luck for the guests, and the scenes presented are all lively plays, and Jin Li has accompanied her parents to participate in many banquets in Shanghai. I've heard a lot of singing, but I don't think it's the right one.

She held the play list in one hand and her cheeks in the other, and said abruptly like an adult: "I have always sung these plays for a year or two." My ears are almost calloused when I sing, it's really not good. ”

Wanchun and Bo Ol both smiled slightly, and Wanchun took the play list in her hand. also glanced at it a few times from beginning to end, pointed to one of the folds of "Frozen Su Qin Yijin Returns Home" and said: "This play is very good." Would you like to hear it? ”

Jin Li leaned over and looked at the playlist. She only watched a rough sketch, but she didn't have this play carefully, and when she saw it this time, she asked Wanchun: "How is this play a good method?" ”

Wan Chun said with a smile: "Zuo is just an old way, a poor scholar once became ambitious, but the drama is easy to understand." I remember that there is a sentence in it, the most insightful, I like a Qionghua brew when I like it, and I hate it when I hate it, and he is as cold as ice and snow, and he sings it to people's hearts. ”

The two sisters spoke, and unexpectedly someone behind them mentioned this sentence: "I like a Qionghua brew, and I hate him as cold as ice and snow, what I said is really wonderful, Brother Rending can take a look." “

His voice was low and deep, probably because of his proximity, but Wan Chun and Jin Li could hear it clearly.

Jin Li then sat there and said to Wan Chun: "Look, you actually met a confidant." After she finished speaking, she turned her head slightly in curiosity, and saw that the remaining seats behind her were almost full, and there were two men in suits sitting near herself and Wanchun, both of whom were the same age as Bo Ol, one on the left had a handsome face, but the one on the right was more prominent than him, as if it was Fu Fan He Lang who came out of the book.

Jin Li smiled secretly, stretched out her elbow and pounded Wan Chun a few times, and said softly: "Sister Wan, this person is really beautiful." ”

Wan Chun froze in place as if petrified after the voice sounded.

Once, she thought about countless reunion scenes, happy or sad, but she never expected to meet him on such a festive day, the husband in the previous life, the murderer who killed herself and her baby - Lu Jianhao.

At this moment, she finally knew what the prophecy was about one of her nightmares last night.

Speaking of which, Lu Jianhao is now the deputy director of the Shanghai Taxation Department, and he should also be qualified to attend the full moon banquet of the town guard envoy. The fault was her own carelessness, she didn't think of this layer in advance, otherwise she wouldn't be so passive.

In her dream, she clearly saw Lu Jianhao walking in front, but in reality, the two were completely opposite.

Lu Jianhao's voice couldn't be more familiar to her. Hearing Jin Li say that he was beautiful, Wanchun just wanted to sneer in her heart, in the end, she was young, and she only saw the appearance like her in middle school. The beautiful Sven man is always the object of the girl's admiration, didn't she fall into his external trap and be deceived by him for so many years?

Biting his lip to death, Wan Chun tried his best to persuade himself not to turn around, not to be impulsive at this time, and let Lu Jianhao know that he was still alive, and he was alive well.

She knew that Lu Jianhao had now gotten what he wanted, power, status and even fame. It's good, there's no loss if you don't get it, and how he climbed into the position of undersecretary of finance, she pulled him down and gave him a taste of disrepute, and impulsiveness only ruined herself.

Desperately taking a few deep breaths, Wanchun woke up and only acted as if she didn't know, and didn't turn her head, but said to Jin Li alone: "You are a girl, just stare at other men, are you ashamed?" Let's turn our heads around and let's move on. ”

Jin Li spit out her lilac tongue, turned her head obediently, leaned on Wanchun's shoulder and said, "Haven't you already ordered one, what else do you want to order?" ”

Wan Chun slowly clenched the play sheet in the palm of her hand, and didn't look at the name of the excerpt above, she looked at the stage indifferently and said: "There is another play, which is also excellent, Jin Li, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Jin Li saw that she was out left and right, but she seemed to be very interested, so she smiled and said: "Anyway, we have nothing to do today, all to congratulate the child, so why not listen to it." Sister Wan, just order what you like to hear. ”

Wan Chun bowed his head gently, beckoned to the messenger, handed him the excerpt and whispered a few words.

The messenger obviously didn't expect the fourth lady of the Li family to order such a play, holding the play fold and standing stunned, laughing or not laughing, and said for a while: "Fourth Miss, is this appropriate?" ”

Wan Chun sneered: "How can it be inappropriate? You do what I want, if my sister and brother-in-law ask, just say that it was the play I ordered, I love to watch this play, since both theater troupes are there, it is impossible that there is no one who can't sing, right? ”

"Yes, yes, but ......" didn't seem to have heard for a long time, and I didn't say anything about it, but it seemed to be really difficult. Wan Chun silently took the cup in front of him, put it to his lips and didn't know if he drank it, and the pair of water-cutting eyes looked slowly over the edge of the teacup, and looked straight at the face of the hearing difference. Tingcha stood beside her for a cup of tea, because she thought of the power of the Li family in Beiling, and she didn't dare to offend her, so she frowned and went backstage with the drama fold, and ordered someone to prepare.

When Jin Li saw it, she asked Wanchun: "What kind of drama makes it difficult for him to be like this?" ”

Wanchun put down the cup and said indifferently: "Quanmei case." ”

The Quan Mei case? Jin Li was confused, hooked a few strands of hair on her sideburns with one hand, and circled around her fingertips and said in confusion: "On the day of the full moon, is it appropriate to play the beauty case?" ”

"What's not appropriate?" Wan Chun's eyes were far-reaching, he sat up straight, and said with a sigh, "The old things are difficult to settle, and some people must be warned." ”

She said this spontaneously, and after she finished speaking, she felt that Jin Li was not able to pay attention to it, so she stopped talking. But Jin Li thought a lot, her eyes rolled a few times, as if she had already obtained the true meaning, and suddenly clapped her hands and smiled: "This play is very good, I forgot that there is still this stubble in the past." ”

She was startled, and Bool was sitting on her left, and when she heard the voice, she smiled and asked her, "What are the two sisters talking about, so happy?" ”

Jin Li snorted mischievously, as if keeping a secret, "I won't tell you." After that, he twisted his body to climb the neck of Wanchun on the right, and whispered in her ear like a blow, "Is it that our second brother-in-law has made an old mistake again, so Sister Wan, you have to warn him?" ”

Wanchun wanted to laugh or not, but Jin Li guessed that Tan Rulin was going to him, but if he was implicated in this play, it was also very appropriate. She didn't expect that she was a stone and two birds, so she had to hide her smile and say, "That's what it means." ”

Jin Li was quite complacent, so she hugged her arms and leaned on the big red flower chair behind her, and inexplicably looked forward to the beautiful case.

Bo Ol listened to a few words without a head or brain, and still didn't know what Wanchun and Jin Li were discussing, seeing that she was both in high spirits, she really didn't have much interest, so she secretly got up and left her seat. (To be continued.) )
