Volume 1: The Storm Chapter 8: The Peony Pavilion

The days passed like this, except for the study every day in the Qing Dynasty, the rest were taught etiquette by my aunt in the East Corner Hall, and there was little intersection with the outside world.

The girls turned to fight each other, and for a while the colors were flying, Nian Jin was a master of kicking, and he had never been defeated in several rounds, and he could kick hundreds in a row, and everyone praised Nian Jin for being powerful.

Qing Shiben was practicing calligraphy in the room, and when he heard the excitement in the courtyard, he couldn't bear it and ran out to Nian Jin and said: "Nian Jin, you also teach me." ”

Nian Jin nodded, demonstrated a few actions to Qing Shi, then took the shuttlecock made of chicken feathers and handed it to Qing Shi: "Gege try?" ”

Qing Shi threw the shuttlecock into the air according to Nian Jin's appearance, but he couldn't kick a few, Qing Shi was so anxious that he stomped his feet, Nian Jin picked up the shuttlecock and demonstrated to her: "Gege, kick the shuttlecock to make a hard effort on your feet, see the kick, you try again." ”

Qing Shi finally kicked the shuttlecock up, this time she was full of strength, the shuttlecock swept through the air, and I didn't know where it flew, just when the girls were looking for it, Long Keduo covered his forehead and walked over.

Qing Shi looked at the small bag bulging on Long Kedo's forehead, and then looked at the shuttlecock in his hand. Pointing at him and laughing: "Hahaha, it turns out that the shuttlecock ran to the third brother's head." ”

The girls also snickered with Qing Shi, Long Keduo's face turned blue for a while, pinched Qing Shi's face and said, "You can still laugh!" ”

Qing Shi was pinched by him, and he could only pout: "Third brother, it hurts ......"

Long Keduo let go and pulled Qing Shi aside and said, "I came to you today for something, how about going out with me to listen to the play?" ”

"I ......"

"Well, if you don't speak, you agree."

Without waiting for Qing Shi to say, Long Keduo just pulled Qing Shi and trotted out of Tong Mansion from the back door.

Qing Shi pulled away Long Keduo's hand and said angrily: "The third brother is so shameless, I haven't agreed yet." ”

Seeing this, Long Keduo smiled and said, "Okay, then you can go back." ”

Qing Shi stared at Long Keduo viciously, as if he wanted to rip off a piece of meat from him, Long Keduo saw this and pulled Qing Shi and said, "Let's go, the third brother is teasing you." ”

In the Qing Dynasty, I walked along the way, and saw that there were people who came to fight insects, put things, enjoy the scenery, and drink, and there was no lack of traders shouting, looking for directions, and applauding for skills, one after another, and the scene was extremely lively. She was dazzled by it, and her anger dissipated instantly.

Qing Shi stepped forward a few steps further, and was attracted by the vendor selling sugar gourds, Qing Shi folded one down, and the vendor turned around and grabbed Qing Shi when he saw Qing Shi and said, "Girl, you haven't given the money yet." ”

Long Keduo stepped forward to protect Qing Shi and said, "It's not just a bunch of sugar gourds, I'll give it to you." ”

Long Keduo touched the silver in the sleeve, but found that there was a big hole in the sleeve, only to realize that the silver had been stolen sometime. Suddenly embarrassed, he pretended to shake his hand and said to the vendor, "You let go of my sister first." ”

But when the hawker let go of his hand, he ran violently, and the bustling street market disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the hawker stomped his feet angrily: "Where did you come from, bastard, don't let me bump into it again, otherwise I will arrest you and go to see the official." ”

Long Keduo panted and ran to the tea garden on Qianmen Street, panting heavily. Qing Shi gasped and pointed at Long Keduo with a smile: "It turns out ...... Three... The third brother doesn't have any money. ”

"Not really. I'm kidding him. You see, is the third brother like a man who sends silver? Ronkodo said nonchalantly.

Qing Shi stuck out his tongue, took out the sugar gourd and ate it: "Third brother, what is this, it's really delicious." ”

Long Keduo combed his messy hair and said, "If you think it's delicious, the third brother will buy it for you every day in the future." ”

Qing Shi nodded, and Long Keduo pointed to the theater behind him and asked, "Do you know where this is?" ”

Qing Shi ate the sugar gourd by himself, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Long Keduo had no choice but to explain to her: "The name of this tea garden is Chajialou, and it was originally the garden of the salt merchants of the previous dynasty. It's famous, and all the dynasties have come here to listen to the play. ”

"Oh." Qing Shi casually perfunctory. Long Keduo was so angry that he knocked out his head and said, "I'll talk to you!" ”

Qing Shi was aggrieved and hugged his head and said, "I know the third brother." ”

Long Keduo pulled Qing Shi around in Chajialou, because the place was narrow, Long Keduo stood upstairs and downstairs, Qing Shi was puzzled: "Third brother, you can only see the back here, what is there to see." ”

"You know, this is the best place in the tea plantation. Don't pay for tea yet. Roncodo said proudly. Qing Shi glanced at him with contempt, and there was no further word.

With the sound of the drum board, the show opened, everyone gathered around the fence, and the babbling sound came from the corner of the stage, and the song was lingering and tactful, which led to the tears of the visitors.

"Oh, why is it "The Peony Pavilion", I thought it was "Li Kui Negative Jing". Roncodo was quite dissatisfied.

"What is The Peony Pavilion?" Qing Shi asked curiously.

"Oh, you still don't understand, and I don't understand when I tell you."

Qing Shi pursed his lips, then turned to look at the Danjiao on the stage and shook his sleeves and danced lightly, and couldn't help but be infatuated, only to listen to his singing: "Then you are like a beautiful flower, like a year of water, and you are looking for it all over the place." Self-pity in the boudoir. ”

This is the "Dream" of "The Peony Pavilion", where did the young Qing Shi understand the deep meaning, only knew the beauty of the words, and was deeply moved.

When this one ended, it was a few hours that had passed, and Qing Shi turned back but couldn't find any trace of Long Keduo, so anxious that he could only cry loudly, and Long Keduo, who was hiding on the side, couldn't help but come out and handed the sugar gourd in his hand to Qing Shi: "Oh, I'll buy this for you." ”

Qing Shi cried breathlessly and hugged Long Keduo and said, "Third brother, you... Are you so bad......" The sobbing gradually stopped, and he hurriedly asked again, "Where is the silver from the third brother?" ”

Long Keduo scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, only to hear a familiar voice behind him panting: "Official... Official, it's these two thieves, not to mention stealing a string of sugar gourds from me, just came to steal a bunch again! ”

Long Keduo didn't say a word, and pulled Qing Shi to run again, and when Qing Shi came back to his senses, he had arrived at the back door of Tong's mansion.

That night, Long Kedo had a dream in which he and Kiyoshi were flying a kite together in the courtyard.

"You're so stupid, you can't fly a kite."

"Then you come, I won't let it go!"

"Don't let go, oops, it's okay now, the kites are gone."

Long Keduo was about to look for it, but suddenly realized that it was a dream. At this time, the moon was falling, and Long Keduo thought back to Fang Cai's dream, and suddenly he was in his eyes. He lay on the bed tossing and turning, his originally dim eyes adding light.

He thought that it would be great if he could always accompany Qingshi in the future.
