CHAPTER XXXIII
Bai Xiulin was discharged from the hospital, Su Hanye's house was about to be built, he gave Shaotang a post, set up a stage in Baifu, and asked him to come to the stage to perform, Shaotang naturally did not refuse, and replied that he must prepare the repertoire and arrive on time.
This is Su Hanye's first step in communicating in Kyoto, considering what he and Bai Xiulin know, they made separate posts, Mu Xue needless to say, she was the first one to invite, Xia Yeqing, Wei Qianfan, including Chen Tingfeng, none of them pulled down.
Baifu used to be the house of a large family, and there was an attic for listening to operas, and there were several long tables in the front hall, which could seat twenty or thirty people, but there was no heating installed in it.
Su Hanye asked people to clean up, replaced the long table with a dozen independent small dining tables, which was convenient for different people to sit on, and installed a few fireplaces in the attic, using the best charcoal, burning hot and drying, and not choking at all.
In the afternoon of this day, Shaotang came over early with the team, and also brought Bai Peony and two elementary school apprentices, saying that it was for him to play together, Su Hanye wanted a lively scene, and he didn't care about these details, so he naturally agreed.
Shaotang went to the stage to prepare in advance, as soon as he entered the attic, he was surprised by the decoration and furnishings inside, all the decorations in it were new, the top of the attic was a new crystal chandelier, and a small crystal lamp was hung every two meters on the pillars of the beam, which illuminated the top of the hall without affecting the light of the play below.
There is a sign of ink paint hanging on the pillar of the stage, and there is a pair of pairs on the left and right, the upper link is: Jifeng to the moon to carry the song, and the lower link is: Yulou Jinque Wangu and, the upper link and the lower link have very different styles, obviously not from one person.
Shaotang was watching intently, and Su Hanye walked over behind him and patted him on the shoulder.
"I changed this link, isn't it quite rhyming?"
Shaotang came back to his senses and nodded with a smile, "Yes, Su Shao can be literate and martial, and he is another talent, which is indeed rare." ”
Su Hanye laughed strangely, "Rare? This Kyoto is full of talents, isn't Shaotang himself also very good? ”
Shaotang smiled, "Su Shao is too famous, the guests must be coming soon, I'll prepare first!" ”
"Don't worry, I want to ask, what tracks did Shaotang prepare today?"
Shaotang looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you say that you want to play "The Peony Pavilion" and then "Dream of Red Mansions"?" ”
The post was instructed by Su Hanye, but it was written by Bai Xiulin, he didn't know what track he was going to play today, but he just asked casually, and when he heard Shaotang say it, he let out a laugh in his nose, "Dream of Red Mansions, interesting!" I don't know if it was ridicule or if I really thought it was funny, Shi Shiran walked away.
Shaotang shook his head puzzled, although this Su Shao was born with a good appearance, he was weird, sometimes he was obviously smiling at you, but he felt that he would choke your neck and kill you in the next moment.
Bai Xiulin asked people to send melons, fruits, and drinks to the attic, and Uncle Song and the cooks were preparing the ingredients for dinner, and when they were busy, Su Hanye came over to make trouble, and couldn't help but say, pulled Bai Xiulin and ran back to the main room, and went to the bedroom on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the door, Su Hanye pressed Bai Xiulin on the sofa and impatiently took off his clothes, Bai Xiulin didn't know what he was crazy about, and hurriedly pushed him, "Hanye, don't be like this, I'm in good health, besides, the guests are coming soon." ”
Su Hanye ripped off his collar, lowered his head and bit him densely on his collarbone, and said vaguely: "It's just time to arrive, I want to feed you something delicious, save you from being jealous later." ”
Bai Xiulin struggled even more, his knees rested on Su Hanye's strong waist, and his body struggled to hide backwards, "Su Hanye, you are enough, you have to pursue Mu Xue, even if you use your means, I don't care, don't be angry with me." ”
"Huh! And that's starting to get angry? I also said that I am not jealous, I can spare you! ”
Su Hanye's eyes darkened, he grabbed Bai Xiulin with his big hand, and pressed him up, and when it was a critical moment, he suddenly became gentle, holding Bai Xiulin with one hand, and taking out the sesame oil for lubrication from the gap in the sofa with the other, and smearing it on himself, his movements were very gentle and integrated with him.
Bai Xiulin let out a painful groan, his hand grabbed the back of the sofa, physiological tears were about to fall, Su Hanye lowered his head and licked the tears from the corners of his eyes, and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, I will be very gentle, there is still time, let's take our time." ”
Song Lingyue began to be excited when she received the post and knew that she was going to her uncle's house to listen to Shaotang's play, and in the afternoon, she began to dress up and choose the right clothes in the wardrobe.
"Wearing bright colors, I always feel that I am not solemn enough, wearing a more calm one, and I am afraid of being laughed at by my uncle, which one do you wear?" Song Lingyue sat on the cushion on the ground, looked at a cabinet of clothes, and muttered worriedly.
Xia Yeqing read the last document, put down the pen, got up and walked behind her, half-squatted down, put one hand on her shoulder, pointed to a white coat with a fur collar, embroidered with twiggled flowers on the upper body, and said: "Wear this one, this neckline is tied up in a bow style, cute and temperamental, the most suitable for my good baby." ”
Song Lingyue leaned up, reached out and pulled the hem of her clothes, it looked very good, it was said to be the latest model in Paris, and she didn't know where Xia Yeqing bought it, anyway, she hadn't seen anyone else wear it, and after thinking about it, it should be good, so she got up and took out the coat.
As soon as she turned around, Xia Yeqing had already gone to the shoe cabinet to get a new pair of shoes and handed them to her, "Wear these short boots, just match your white coat, and the clothes on your body should also be changed, change into a white lace shirt and a light-colored strap skirt, the one that wants to cinch the waist, this one will be perfect." ”
Song Lingyue looked up at him with admiration and curiosity, "Brother Qing, how come you know how to match clothes better than me?" What to do, I can't do without you in the future. ”
Xia Yeqing bowed her head and kissed her, hugged her slender waist with one hand, and said affectionately: "You can't do without me, I have ordered a wedding dress, you will marry me sooner or later." ”
Song Lingyue's face flushed, she lowered her head and fell into his arms, slapped him twice with her small fist, and said shyly: "Brother Qing, you are a bad person, who said that I want to marry you?" ”
Xia Yeqing's chin rubbed on the top of her head, her attitude was imperious, but her tone was extremely gentle, "If you don't marry, you have to marry, the little sheep snatched by the big bad wolf can still escape." It's almost your 18th birthday, and on that day, I'm going to take you to church and tell you that you love me and that you want to marry me. ”
Song Lingyue was shy and sweet, nestled in his arms, reluctant to leave, and the promise he gave was like his powerful heartbeat, steady, warm, and full of happiness.
Before five o'clock, Xia Yeqing rushed to Baifu with Song Lingyue and Adjutant Zhang, they were the first group of people to arrive, Xia Yeqing and Su Hanye had a rare harmony, drinking coffee and chatting in the living room, Song Lingyue helped Bai Xiulin with his work, and Adjutant Zhang and Adjutant Ning who came also went up to help.
It was only six o'clock, and the guests came to the door one after another, including Bai Xiulin's colleagues and Su Hanye's friends in Kyoto, who led the guests to the attic and arranged a suitable place according to the instructions.
Shaotang put on makeup backstage, Song Lingyue ran in secretly, Shaotang saw her through the mirror, there was a hint of surprise, put down the eyebrow pencil in his hand, turned to look at her, and asked, "Miss Song?" Why did you come here? ”
Song Lingyue stepped forward and said with a smile: "I'm here to listen to Shaotang's play, can't I?" ”
This was obviously an unexpected joy, and Shaotang inexplicably began to get excited, "Yes, of course you can, very welcome!" ”
"Look at you, I'm not a celebrity, and I deserve your excitement!" Song Lingyue quipped, leaning on the back of his chair with one hand and looking at him in the mirror from his side.
"Shaotang, you are going to play Liu Mengmei in this dress today, so who is Du Liniang to play?"
Shaotang pointed to another dressing room across the door and said, "Count it as my junior sister, Bai Peony, her singing skills are no worse than mine, you must like to listen." ”
Song Lingyue nodded expectantly, "Well, I used to like your Hou Fangyu, but today I will look at Liu Mengmei." ”
Shaotang cleared his throat, looked at the mirror, and suddenly sang a classic song of "The Peony Pavilion", "It turns out that the purple and red are all over the place, and they all seem to be paid to the broken wells", his voice is tactful and mellow, with a trace of depressed sorrow.
Song Lingyue was infected by his emotions, and felt it for a while, echoed him, and sang the next sentence, "The beautiful scenery of a good day is a day, and the courtyard is pleasing to the heart." Her voice was beautiful, and delicate emotions slowly flowed out of her singing, and Shaotang was surprised when she heard it.
As soon as she finished singing, there was applause at the door of the backstage, Su Hanye walked into the backstage with paces, and praised in his mouth: "My little cousin is really versatile, she plays the piano well, and even Kunqu Opera can sing a voice, I knew you would, I asked you to sing Du Liniang." ”
Song Lingyue didn't want anyone to hear her singing, her face turned red, she lowered her head, and said embarrassedly, "I just heard Shaotang sing, and then echoed a sentence, and then sang down, it was really ugly." ”
Su Hanye's tall figure stood in front of her, and her voice came from above her head, with a hint of a smile, "Don't be so nervous, I'm just joking with you, little cousin, oh no, Xiaoyue, can I call you that?" ”
Song Lingyue nodded, "Okay, cousin, there is something ahead, I'll go out first." He nodded to Shaotang and turned around and walked out of the backstage.
Su Hanye took a long step, chased after her in two steps, and walked to the front hall with her, saying in his mouth, "Xiaoyue, you are so close to your uncle, why did you run away as soon as you saw me?" Is my brother that scary? ”
Song Lingyue quickened her pace, wanting to get rid of him, and said with a sneer: "No! I just want to go to Brother Qing, he can't see me, he will be in a hurry. ”
Su Hanye chuckled lightly, and caught up with her without much effort, "I advise you not to go to him, your Qing brother is secretly competing with the Yan family's young owner, it seems, for a woman." In the second half of the sentence, the end of the sentence was deliberately lengthened.
Song Lingyue was stunned, turned her head and angrily scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Brother Qing won't. ”
Su Hanye narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Little girl, you trust your brother Qing so much!" Unbelief? You can go over and have a look. ”
