Chapter 8: The Congregation (Part II)

The title of the book was changed from "He Jia Xingzhao" to "Yan Ce", thank you for your support!

Tingyin Hall is in the northeast of the house, the house pattern of the official eunuchs in Dingjing is mostly the northwest of the main house, and the atrium is the residence of the lady or the lady, because the people of Dingjing are good at listening to Beijing opera, the rich and noble people are willing to set up a place in the house as a side room for relatives to feast and listen to the play, and the obsessed people will even raise a special opera troupe at home.

The group passed through the west wing and the garden, the blue bricks and vermilion paint, the cypress was dyed, and there was a blue lake rippling, and the green waves were drifting. After a stick of incense, I arrived at the listening hall. Tingyin Hall is the wing room where the ladies and grandmothers come to listen to the opera, several black lacquered Nanmu curly edge eight immortal tables, each with a few plum blossoms, the copper basin placed in the corner of the wall is burned with red snail charcoal, and the thick cotton bamboo curtain hangs on the railing of the corridor to avoid the cold. When the girl rolls up the curtain, there is a warm fragrance, and she is rich and noble.

Across the blue lake, there is a stage set up at the other end.

Sitting down according to the dignity and inferiority, the eldest princess Yingyi should sit at the top, but she pulled Mrs. He to sit side by side, and said with a smile: "You are a person of the same generation as your mother, and your seniority is heavy, Yingyi dare not disrespect!" ”

Mrs. Tai didn't shirk either, smiled and shook Ying Yi's hand, and was helped by the eldest lady and the second lady to sit down.

The ladies and grandmothers sat down in turn, the unmarried girls sat around their parents, and the maids served tea.

Xingzhao sat next to Mrs. Tai, and when he looked up, he happened to see the side of the eldest lady, the eldest lady was talking to Mrs. Li, and saw that his mother lowered her head slightly, her eyes moved and smiled, revealing a piece of her jade white neck, which was as beautiful as a bright moon, and the corners of Xingzhao's mouth naturally hooked up a few points, and there was indescribable peace and calm in his heart.

The troupe owner bowed his head and respectfully held the play list into the inner hall, made a salute, and became very familiar with each other with joy: "The ladies are well!" Ask the ladies to order a play. ”

The third lady took the play and handed it to the eldest princess Yingyi, and explained with a smile: "Just bother you to order the first play." Hongyun Club, which was ordered by my mother personally, came to sing, saying that Hongyun Club had a new famous role, what is it called?"

"Liu Wenlian! is good at singing Tsing Yi, his body and eyes, and the water sleeves are thrown, tsk, that is called a pitiful person. The second lady is a fan of the drama, so this is the conversation.

The third lady smiled at the Ming Jin Sipa, nodded busily, and smiled with the ladies and grandmothers in the hall and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Or the second sister-in-law knows the market! I've been in Huguang for three years, listening to Sichuan opera, watching changing faces, what kind of flavor is Peking opera, so I can only taste it in my dreams. Yesterday, I was hungry for rock candy elbows, so I asked someone to buy it from Lao Qin Ji, who knew that Lao Qin Ji would close the door early! ”

"You are greedy, the next party, a special table of rock sugar elbow for you to eat, you are not allowed to leave if you don't finish eating!" It was interesting that He Sanye was the same Mrs. of the Huang family, and before the words fell, the ladies laughed.

In just a few words, the closeness and nepotism between the female dependents have been completed.

Xing Zhao sat on the brocade, his eyes did not squint, but in the afterglow, Ying Yi looked down patiently at the play, the same side face, but Ying Yi was like a peony in full bloom, the bridge of the nose was high, and the lips were thin, so that his chin was extremely pointed, and his brows were slightly frowned. Ying Yi is a little impatient, yes, the daughter of the current queen mother, the real noble, if He Yan doesn't come today, with the face of the third lady He Shi's father as her eldest princess and chief historian, she can't be invited.

Sure enough, Ying Yi raised his head and coughed lightly, the inner hall instantly calmed down, put the play list on the table, and said: "Liu Wenlian's singing skills are good at delicateness, and his feelings are sincere, so let's fold "The Legend of Red Beans". ”

"The Legend of Red Beans" is about Chen Hongdou, the wife of the official family, who fell in love with Mr. Yin in the west of the house when she was in her prime, and the two were happy with each other, but they were broken up by Hongdou's father, Mr. Yin went to the north alone, studying hard for fame, but Chen Hongdou became his own son under the arrangement of his father. When Mr. Yin returned from high school, Chen Hongdou had passed away and turned into a wisp of soul, leaving Mr. Yin alone with hatred in the world.

The ladies who brought the little lady in the inner hall couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't dare to speak out, so they had to fall their eyes on Mrs. He. On the occasion of the lady who has not been out of the cabinet, it is customary to say that these folds are not willing to order, for fear of bringing damage to the daughter's family who is not deeply involved in the world.

"Huanhuanxi likes to celebrate the New Year, this play is crying and crying, and some of the meanings are too bad. Do you want to change out of martial arts? Knocking and beating, gongs and drums are noisy, and my old woman likes to be lively. Mrs. He took a sip of tea, put down the azure sweet glazed porcelain teacup, and discussed with Ying Yi with a smile.

Ying Yi's face turned red, as if he had been pierced in his heart, and flipped through the play list again as if he was covering up, and read in his mouth: ""The Legend of Women Heroes", "Romance of Pear Blossom", and "Xunzi" are all good plays by Liu Wenlian, Mrs. Tai, which one do you watch?" ”

Mrs. Tai glanced at the third lady He Shi, who was sitting at the bottom, and said with a smile: "Point out "Romance of Pear Blossoms" and then "Xunzi", "Romance of Pear Blossoms" tells her daughters to learn to be heroic and decent. "Xunzi", filial piety and respect everyone have to learn hard. Eldest princess, do you think so? ”

Ying Yi didn't have anything to say, handed the play list to the maid, and the maid took a few steps and handed it back to the class owner.

When the third lady heard this, her face suddenly turned a little bad, and she even felt that there was some mocking chuckle in her ears.

In "Xunzi", there is a concubine who is disobedient, and a grandmother who is generous, and the grandmother works hard for the concubine to take the high school examination, and the concubine has bad intentions, and finally the concubine ends up in a situation where the family is ruined, and even the heavenly court can't stand it, so she sent Venus to train the son.

The third lady forced a smile and instructed the class master: "Take the list and go down, sing well, sing well, and get a reward." ”

The class master sang loudly, and then went back to the wing room behind the stage, and after a while, there were a few servants holding gongs, suona, guqin, and flower drums out, and the background behind the stage was also replaced with a light brown elm carved screen with five sons of Dengke patterns.

With a crisp gong sound, the show officially began.

The first song is "Romance of Pear Blossoms", the protagonist played by Liu Wenlian, Er Fangniang, is wearing a peach-apricot costume, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and her eyes are turning a thousand times, just like the blue lake and green waves.

The drama idiot like the second lady was stunned, and her eyes followed the horns on the stage.

Xing Zhaoben is also willing to watch the play, life in the play, singing, reading and fighting, but it is more real than reality.

It's just that Xingzhao has a big deal in his heart today, and he always pays attention to Ying Yi's every move, and he feels that the Beijing accent with a long rhyme in his ears seems a little noisy.

Ying Yi pointed out "The Legend of Red Beans", the meaning of which is clear, the sentient person is separated from the end of the world and suffers from lovesickness, but how does she know that she is not a goddess who intends it, and King Xiang is ruthless!

Xingzhao took a sip of tea, his eyes fell on Ying Yi, and he saw her looking at the stage intently, and her smile changed with the plot.

Tea is the best dragon well before the rain, the entrance is clear, and the taste is sweet, Xingzhao squinted slightly, the memory of the previous life is like a marquee, and now the memory is a little hazy and blurry.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the second gong, Fang Niang joined the army on behalf of her father, and she had changed into an iron helmet, heroic, holding a red tassel gun, and winning at the top of the battlefield, and the flower drum was played quickly and shortly.

Xingzhao habitually glanced to the east side, and Ying Yi was no longer in his seat! couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly pushed Xingming beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Eldest Princess Yingyi is leaving?" ”

Xingming's eyes didn't move, staring straight at the stage, but he leaned over and replied softly: "Where can I go, I can't leave until I finish listening to a play, this is the rule." I guess I'm tired of looking at it and resting in the wing. ”

Xingzhao took a deep breath, nodded at Chong Xingming, got up again and whispered in Mrs. Tai's ear: "Grandmother, Ah Yu wants to come out of Gong..."

Mrs. Tai turned her head to look at her granddaughter, beckoned Su Qing behind her, and was about to tell Su Qing to take Xingzhao out. Xingzhao tugged at the corner of Mrs. Tai's clothes, lowered her voice even more, and said with a smile: "Sister Su Qing is looking at it, it's not that Auntie hasn't been to the third uncle's house, it's good to take Lianyu with her, is it possible that there are monsters who have captured Auntie and eaten it?" ”

"Good, good! Don't go to the water's edge, don't go to the rockery, don't leave the lotus jade. Mrs. Tai couldn't resist her little granddaughter, so she ordered them one by one, and Xingzhao responded one by one with a smile.

Will open the curtain, step out of the inner hall, I feel that the boiling sky has nothing to do with themselves, the snow has fallen for so many days, today it was unexpectedly stopped, Xingzhao looked at the sky, the clear yellow light faintly visible between the mountains and greens, slightly lowered his eyes, and walked forward quickly with Lianyu.

Turning further to the left, there are five closed wings, and every ten steps there are maids wearing lilac pigment striped jackets standing on the side, Xingzhao asked a maid beside him: "Is there a resting lady in the wing?" ”

The maid shook her head, thought about it again, and said, "The eldest princess of Yingyi came to rest for a while, and not long after, she went out. ”

Xingzhao smiled and nodded, let Lianyu reward the usual money, then wrapped the big coat, put his hand in the mink fur warm sleeve, and walked down the corridor to the west.

Further west, you'll find the outer courtyard...

Xingzhao was puzzled, could it be that Ying Yi really went to the outer courtyard to find He Yan? It's too bold, if you really want to come and meet, where will you go? There is a door in the inner courtyard leading to the outer courtyard, and people need to unlock and release it to enter and exit, and it is definitely impossible for the outer courtyard to be released. The ladies of the inner courtyard listened to the play in the listening hall, and most of the servants were also waiting on the northeast side of the house. It doesn't make sense for the ladies to go to the outer courtyard, so what if the old men drink too much and want to go into the inner courtyard to rest!?

Xingzhao paced slowly, Lianyu followed closely with a calm personality, passed through the vertical arch flower gate, and suddenly appeared in front of him a locked courtyard, which was uninhabited for a long time, and there was a thick pool of ice water on the bluestone ground, meandering down, and the weeds and leaves in the fence had a thin layer of hoarfrost, and the windows of the wing room were tightly covered, and they were blown by the wind.

Xingzhao's heart moved, he picked up his skirt, and wanted to move forward, but was pulled by Lianyu: "Girl, now is not the time to be naughty, it's a small matter to wet your shoes and socks, what should I do if I bump into it?" ”

Xingzhao turned around, held Lianyu's hand, and said solemnly: "I have to go, not naughty, not willful, don't go... I feel uneasy. ”

At the end of the words, with a little choked up, Lianyu was surprised by Xingzhao's solemnity and firmness, and simply helped Xingzhao to go inside.

Passing through the round gate, the ground was extremely slippery, and the master and servant walked slowly with the pillar, and suddenly heard a female voice with obvious depression, but still sharp: "Ah Yan, that sick ghost has dragged me for ten years, I have read you for ten years, but you won't even give me a promise?" ”
