Chapter 8: Fallen

Gu Xiuran stood still, looking at her gaze as calm as water.

No matter what Bang Yue said, he was indifferent and didn't look like he was in pain. So after she vented, she stopped talking, and the two stood on the street for a long time, and finally Gu Xiuran raised his hand and wanted to touch her.

She ducked back, lest he touch her.

"Gu Gongzi, please."

"I'm sorry, can you ......" Gu Xiuran's already sickly pale face was slightly calm at this time: "Forgive me." ”

Bang Yue didn't laugh angrily, and her words were aggressive: "You don't even want to tell me why you did this to me." I don't dare to follow Gu Gongzi anymore, lest I have to count the money to Gu Gongzi if I am sold one day, Bang Yue is just a little woman, I can't afford to play the game of you big people, you adults don't remember villains, let me go. ”

Gu Xiuran slowly withdrew his hand, hesitated again and again, and didn't say a word in the end.

For a long time after Bang Yue left, he was still standing in place, and the person next to him in the shadow approached, and then he muttered to himself: "Does she hate me very much?" ”

In the dark, Lu Yangyang's puzzled face appeared behind him: "Why, you shouldn't be sincere, I really don't understand why you men are all fascinated by Wen Bangyue." ”

"Don't you like her?" Gu Xiuran asked rhetorically.

Lu Yangyang was stunned, probably not expecting Gu Xiuran to ask like this. Don't like Wen Bangyue? In fact, I like it, at least before, she has a good temperament, is enthusiastic and cheerful, and treats people sincerely, who doesn't like such a girl.

If there is no Liu Xuanyu.

Without Liu Xuanyu, she must be the confidant who likes Bang Yue the most.

"Anyway." Gu Xiuran retracted his gaze: "I've already paid it off, if it's not necessary, we won't see each other again." ”

Looking at the man's distant back, Lu Yangyang shook his head, this man is really ruthless.

Ruthless as always.

After being swept out of the theater, Rao is class owner is poor Wen Bangyue, after all, she has been in the Xuanchang Opera Troupe for five years, and she is also a girl who sees her own.

The nephew of the class owner got the order, and wandered around the streets in the second half of the night, and finally found Wen Bangyue in the corner of the outer wall of the theater.

The nephew of the class owner quietly brought Bang Yue back from the back door of the theater troupe, and saw the class owner waiting for Bang Yue in the house, don't look at the class owner's usual big grin, looking like an uncle. I think that he was also walking on the rivers and lakes back then, begging for food, who did what he did, he understood this old Jianghu at a glance, and his heart was like a mirror, this pile was pierced to Wen Bangyue like a needle, can a fool not understand it? Poor Chen Xiaolian is like a big hornet to be used as a gunman, but that person is really vicious, not only spreading rumors in the industry, destroying the reputation of Bangyue, but also walking a tightrope on the emperor's blade, which is a little careless, but he has to lose his head. As soon as this incident came out, Wen Bangyue's job was still small, and more importantly, it also broke her innocence and marriage, and ruined a person's life with one move, that little girl is really poisonous. But it's not good to blame people without evidence, if you provoke that side, it is possible to get to the theater, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult to say that the matter has come to this point, and you can only be wronged and save the moon.

The class owner sighed, saw Bang Yue pushing the door, snot and tears, and his words were full of reluctance, but the world is so impermanent, and such a good Mr. Excerpt can't keep it with him. After talking about the old for half a quarter of an hour, the class owner put a small purse on the table: "Bang Yue, Xuanchang can't keep you now, there are twenty taels of silver here, which should be regarded as dividends over the years." ”

When the class owner took out the silver, Wen Bangyue's nose was still a little sour, and the heart of the class owner was really good to himself, but he wanted to say that this was a dividend. Just talk about the plays that Bang Yue has written for Xuanchang over the years, which is only worth twenty taels? That's a big hit Lu Yangyang!

"Class Master...... This dividend is really too much, I think I deserve it......" Wen Bangyue lowered his head, the class owner was also a little embarrassed, touched his whole body, and took out a white ticket from his chest: "There are five taels of silver tickets here, don't be too little, the master is strict." ”

Bang Yue got up and bowed deeply to the class master, thanking him for the care he had taken care of in the past few years, and now he returned to this room, which was also instructed by the class master to let Wen Bang Yue pack up and salute, even if he wanted to drive people away, it couldn't really be like sweeping the street.

"You will clean up well tonight, if people find out that I am on top, it will really be against that group of little actors!"

"It's okay class master, I'll clean it up quietly and quickly."

"Okay, I'll let my nephew stand guard at the door, pack it up and let him send you."

Wen Bangyue nodded, "There is Senior Brother Lao." ”

After the person left, Bang Yue put the money on the table into his waist, and went to the bedside to count his savings, although he earned a lot in the past five or six years, but he spent it quickly, and he was used to spending a lot of money, those rouge gouache, silk and satin, gold, silver and jade, but the savings were only left for this month's monthly money; Fifteen taels, plus what Lu Yangyang gave.

It's really hard for only seventy taels to take root in the capital......

Bang Yue sighed, pulled out a huge bamboo box, and began to put clothes and quilts in it, if it was usual, those who couldn't look at it would have been thrown away, but now they want to wander, no matter if it is good or bad, they have to keep it, and they have to sew and sew in their spare time, which is exactly shrinking clothes and dieting. Pack up the clothes, that is, those pen, ink, paper, inkstone, these are worth some money can not be lost, Wen Bangyue will spread out the paper roll by roll, hollow stuffed with brushes, ink blocks, paper weights and other things, and use felt to wrap the two inkstones, together in a large bamboo box.

Look at the books in the room, I'm afraid I can't take so many with me, just pick some that I like to read often, or can collect, along with the scripts written, purple clay pots, some good-looking ornaments, rouge and gouache are all packed away, and the bamboo boxes are filled with bits and pieces.

Bang Yue set up the box, and arranged the sleeping bedding roll from the bed, and put it on the top of the bamboo box, she pushed the box back and forth, fortunately, the four wheels are very flexible, although it is heavy, but it can be pushed. Then he turned around and went to the noodle cabinet again, and wrapped the soft jewelry and tied it around his waist. In a blink of an eye, all kinds of fruits in the fruit bowl made her in a trance, as if life was still the same as before, but now she has no job, no friends, and even her lover has been lost.

Thinking about putting on a long sleeve on her body, skillfully hiding the soft waist, turning around and tying up the candles, wrapping the shoes in cloth, and carrying them on her back, she devoured a lot of fruits, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, thinking that she was so miserable now, I really don't know who and what she is, she is unwilling and can do nothing.

When he was young, the door was pushed open.

The class owner's nephew hurriedly moved the box out, and Bang Yue nodded: "There is Senior Brother Lao." ”

"It's all due." The nephew of the class owner was also a little reluctant, and handed her a few cakes and a pot of water, "I took it from the kitchen, I guess you haven't eaten today......"

"Yes." Bang Yue lowered her head, for fear that tears would overflow again.

When they walked to the back door, a figure was faintly swaying behind the tree, and the two of them were nervous for a moment, but they whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm Chang Shan." ”

"Oh, are you here to deliver me?" Wen Bangyue walked forward quickly, whispered behind the tree and asked, there was a hum, squatted down, and left quickly.

Chang Shan has always been an unknown dancer, who has been dancing in the theater for three years, and finally got the role of a stand-in for the mute girl a few days ago. It was also a play written by Wen Bangyue, the two of them really worked together three or four times, and they didn't usually have many opportunities to speak, but they didn't expect that when everyone was cheap, she came to see each other off regardless of the danger, this friendship was not only praised by the senior brother, but also remembered by Wen Bangyue in her heart.

They passed by the tree, Bang Yue picked up a package, which was left by Chang Shan, and she wiped a handful of tears without competitiveness, I don't know whether she was wronged or moved.

"Thank you, brother, let's send it here, and ask brother not to tell Chang Shan's matter, I'm afraid she will have a bad time in this theater."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother respects people who are affectionate and righteous."

Bang Yue nodded, and went away alone with her luggage.

She stood at the corner of the street below the bell tower, looking out at the forks in the road. She originally came from the east, a well-known and wealthy neighborhood in the capital, so naturally she couldn't go back. And to the west is the capital government and noble land, and you can't afford to live without identity. To the north is Yin Yin School, and most of them are scholarly families. Only the south side is mixed, chaotic market, she can't afford to live in the Shenliangtang painting boat of ten taels that night, and Li Xiaoer Inn on the corner of Nanyuan Street still has to go.

Bang Yue dragged her luggage and knocked on the wooden door of the inn, and Xiao Er asked sleepily what kind of room she would live in. The sky word room is five hanging money, the herringbone room is one hanging money, and the ground word room is two hundred Wen Tongdian.

Wen Bangyue took the fragments of copper off his waist with interest: "Bring me a ground room." ”

Xiao Er took the money and led her to the corridor on the first floor, and a small wooden door clicked at the end and unlocked it......

After moving in, I thought it was dark and damp but no, unexpectedly clean and simple, Xiao Er inserted the remaining half of the candle on the lamp holder, and lit the room for Wen Bangyue, at this moment Xiao Er was also a little sober, and there was a smile on his face: "Girl, there is still a pot of hot water left on the ground in the lobby, please take care of it yourself later, the public toilet is in the backyard, you can see it when you go out." It's almost midnight now, and if you want to check out, you can do it before tomorrow. Originally, there was no such smokeless candle in the ground room, and this half of it was given to you by me, so go to bed early. ”

Wen Bangyue nodded in thanks, put down her luggage, went to the public toilet, washed away her tears with the water from the cool well outside the hospital, and went back to the lobby to bring a pot of hot water before entering the house. The small window opened relatively closely, and the sky outside the window began to glow light blue, Rao is June day, she actually had cold hands and feet, exhaled, and opened the package sent by Chang Shan, which contained two pairs of cotton socks, a bag of needlework, two packs of snacks wrapped in paper, and two hanging money.

"Chang Shan, don't thank you for your kindness, and you will definitely repay your kindness when Bang Yue gets better." Some worthless things are particularly precious at this moment, and Bang Yue is lying on the bed with her package in her arms and unconsciously falling asleep. She got up at the beginning of the second day, and the anxiety in her heart made it impossible for her to sleep any longer, so she ate the hot water and cakes, and then locked the door and went out into the street.

Bang Yue turned around in place, and finally looked east, a long time ago, she and Lu Yangyang had been to the morning market in order to join in the fun, where the farmhouses were lined up by the river and the market, the dirtiest but also the cheapest.

She walked through the morning market to the residential block, and fell in love with a "Yaru Fangjiao Station" and went in, and the stationmaster saw that Bang Yue was dressed in a gorgeous costume and naturally did not dare to slack off, so he called a worker to personally receive and see the house.

The stationmaster respectfully pointed not far away: "Miss, the best house in Nanyuan is in Koi Lane, and it is all a second courtyard." ”

"Well, is there anything too big or smaller?"

"Nanyuan Third Street is full of small courtyards, and the houses on three sides are only thirty-five taels for half a year, which is extremely cost-effective."

"Oh...... Is there anything smaller? The conditions are average. ”

The stationmaster looked Bang Yue up and down, "With your identity, Miss, I'm afraid that the house in Koi Lane is reluctantly matched with you, and if it's small, there are also rents on the side of the moat, so I'm afraid that you won't be able to adapt to the environment, how many people do you live in?" ”

Bang Yue knew that Nancheng was in chaos, so she didn't dare to say that she was alone, so she could only make up a lie: "My parents and I, they are still on the road, it's just a day or two, you can find me a room within half a year and twenty taels, my parents are in a hospital with four walls." ”

"Oh......" The stationmaster looked at Bang Yue's dress suspiciously, and said, "Then come with me." ”

Half a day passed, in the moat to see a few in succession, either the house is damaged, or the strange smell is too strong, the geographical location is to look at the moon, there is a river in front, there is a market in the back, the folk customs are simple, all are serious farmers live.

"There's one last one ahead, but I don't think you should like it." The stationmaster looked down and counted the keys, and opened the street corner of the family; The small courtyard is boxy, a small house is facing the gate, on the left hand side of the door is a small thatched toilet in disrepair, and on the right hand side outside the door of the house, there is a small open-air pot stove.

"Miss, although this place is in disrepair, fortunately the house is sturdy and can withstand wind and rain."

Wen Bangyue's mouth rose slightly, deliberately raised her eyebrows to find a problem, and after fierce bargaining, the stationmaster gave cement to mend the wall, a cheap toilet repair worker, four buckets, and a small pot stove to repair himself...... The stationmaster had a mental outlook of wanting to cry without tears, and finally signed a contract at a "high price" of twelve taels for half a year.

Bang Yue took the key, returned to the inn in a hurry, retreated from the room and went to the best locksmith's shop, chose the lock and trotted all the way home. After putting down the things, I didn't even breathe, I went straight to the market, first bought things such as pots and pans, rags and brooms, repair toolboxes, mending window oiled paper, kitchen seasonings, etc., and then went home to buy two large wooden barrels for drinking water, and when I came back, the two wooden barrels were full of daily necessities, and these things only cost less than three taels of silver.

Back at the door, the stationmaster has been waiting for a long time with the toilet repairer, busy for an hour, after everything is taken care of, the stationmaster was fooled by the moon to mend the window paper, and even the wall that exposed the bricks was neatly plastered by the stationmaster. In order to thank the stationmaster, Bang Yue hurriedly took out two packs of Yucuilou dim sum sent by Chang Shan, but the dim sum had to be worth the money. So he ordered two wooden candlesticks on the courtyard wall with the stationmaster before letting them go.

When the time came, Bang Yue took out candles and candlesticks and lit up the house and the courtyard. The delicate candelabra is carved with delicate oleanders, which look out of place on top of the dilapidated wooden cabinet. Bang Yue sighed and continued to wipe the little family.

This cottage is divided into three partitions; Entering the door is a small square table and two wooden chairs, and the cabinet next to it is mottled with oil spots, which should be used for dishes and chopsticks. There is a room on the right, with rows of wooden cabinets against the wall and a long table by the window.

The room on the left hand side is the bedroom, with a large kang built against the wall. There is also a long low cabinet under the window opposite the kang, although there is a lot of furniture missing, but it is enough for Wen Bangyue for the time being.

Until the early hours of the morning, Wen Bangyue finally cleaned a bedroom and a hall, she was so tired that she spread out the cover and fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, I found that the cover of her stepping bed was half smaller than the big kang! Look at this big kang, it should be the size of a family that can sleep. After eating snacks, Bang Yue continued to clean up, and when the room on the right was out of shape, he made a study, and put his own study room four treasures and other things here, because the clothes cabinet was also here, so he packed up the clothes together.

"It's different from the past, and I have to change my career to eat." Bang Yue teased alone, took out a few paintings of everyone that she collected on weekdays, and went out to Dengfu Street.
