Singers don't need to have good skin, anyway, they wear heavy makeup on stage. But you have a good voice and your eyes should be expressive.

The private room is not big, and after Li Lou sat down nearby, Zhu Gaoxu saw that her skin was a little dull, and it was indeed not very white and tender, no wonder she had to risk her life to take arsenic cream.

Li Lou was very famous in Yunnan Fucheng, but Zhu Gaoxu had never known her, so he really didn't know what to say for a while. Fortunately, she took the initiative to find words, and the atmosphere did not seem so awkward.

Although it was daytime, the light in the theater was not very bright. In this slightly dim pavilion room, the subtle flaws on the actor's face were covered, and listening to Li Louxian's gentle words, Zhu Gaoxu gradually felt comfortable.

I don't know how to talk about the drama industry, Li Louxian said in a low voice: "It's better, if you are favored by the head of the family or a well-off master, you can be a concubine, and you have left the troupe since then." If you don't sing well, you will generally be resold by the owner of the house, first to the Qinglou, and then inevitably sold to the dilapidated kiln. ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened and said, "Then they should plan more for the future." ”

Li Lou shook his head first and said: "Usually one day is counted as one day, who can care about the future?" ”

She picked up the teapot and the gesture of her fingers was very beautiful. Zhu Gaoxu found that her slender hands were white, and they were better than the skin of her face and neck. She poured a cup of tea and gently placed it in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said, "But Miss Li is a first-class girl, and Mrs. Shen values you so much, shouldn't you be like that?" ”

Li Lou said slowly: "What the prince said is that in the future, when the concubine is not on the stage, she will also stay in the Shen Mansion and help the lady teach those new plays." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "I see." ”

He originally thought that Li Lou wanted to get close to the prince first in order to find a way out, but who knew that she said it herself, and she had already arranged a place to live for the rest of her life...... At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused, she risked her life to get close to herself, what benefits could she get? Do you just want to admire and make friends with the powerful?

Li Lou leaned over and bent down first, and said softly: "The prince is a clan, but he is willing to ask these lowly people, and he is generous and compassionate to the people. As she spoke, her lowered eyes went up slightly, and Zhu Gaoxu's heart was soft.

Zhu Gaoxu stabilized his mood and changed the topic: "How old did Miss Li enter the industry?" ”

Li Lou said first: "The concubine entered the industry late, and when she arrived at the Shen family, she was already sixteen or seventeen years old. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu was slightly surprised, and praised again, "Miss Li has a good talent, I heard that many plays are from elementary school, but they are not as good as Miss Li's singing." It is also a joy to achieve your ambitions in life. ”

Li Louxian sighed softly, with a look of resentment on his face, "Before the concubine entered the industry, she was already a wife and married a good family. Who knew that the luck was bad, and the husband's family was guilty, so he became a slave, and later fortunately bought it by Shen Fuxiangzhong. Otherwise, it's a good life, why bother to show up ...... concubine"

Li Louxian showed a pitiful smile, and the two contradictory emotions merged into one on her face. Zhu Gaoxu felt that she was not wrong, she had a talent for singing.

"It's all in the past......" she said in a low voice.

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to hear her voice a little strange, and when he looked at it, he saw tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and he actually lowered his head and cried.

"I mentioned Miss Li's unfortunate life experience, and I apologize." Zhu Gaoxu said hurriedly, he stretched out his hand and hesitated for a moment, then retracted and took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

Li Lou took the handkerchief first, gently rubbed his cheeks twice, and suddenly his fingers trembled, and said, "The concubine has soiled the prince's handkerchief." ”

"It's okay, Miss Li, don't be too sad." Zhu Gaoxu said kindly, "There are always ups and downs in life, and you have to think about the good." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Li Lou said first. A moment later, she whispered again, her shoulders twitching again.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what to say for a while, so he could comfort her. He also felt that this famous popular actor was very strange, he was poisoned the first time, and the second time he finally met, he cried here again.

She cried for a while, then quickly apologized, and choked up: "I'm sorry for the prince, I disturbed your interest." The concubine only remembered her husband, who had a home for so many years and couldn't go back, but she could only flee in the deep mountains and forests. I couldn't hold back my sadness for a while...... I'm really sorry. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's face was abrupt, and he vaguely guessed what she meant. He calmed down and asked, "What is your husband's name, and what has he done?" ”

Sure enough, Li Louxian immediately replied: "The husband's surname is Chen, his name is prosperous, his ancestral home is Huguang, and he later moved to Kunming Mansion in Yunnan. The husband killed someone by mistake, but he is not a bad person. At that time, the bitter lord bullied the weak and bullied him first......"

Zhu Gaoxu groaned: "I don't know how I can help you? ”

Li Lou stood up first, then knelt down next to the table, and bowed: "Lord Mingjian, seven or eight years have passed since this incident, and the Chen family has already gone bankrupt and compensated the bitter master. The concubine heard that the prince would do good deeds when he encountered a happy event, and there was a case of the prince writing to ask for pardon for some fiefdom criminals. The concubine bowed to the prince, remembering the good nature of the concubine's husband, and begged the prince to ask for forgiveness of his serious sins so that he could come home. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He still has the influence of later generations in his heart, and there are many pits in the world at that time, so Zhu Gaoxu's defensive heart is still relatively heavy. When a person approaches him inexplicably, he will subconsciously think that someone else is trying to cheat him out of money or have some evil intentions...... When you know the other party's intentions, you can feel a lot more at ease.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said: "About the late autumn and early winter of this year, the princess will give birth to a little prince or a little princess for me, and at that time, I will write a letter to report the good news, ask for forgiveness for the sins of some prisoners in Yunnan Mansion, and add your husband's name." ”

Li Lou first looked happy when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The prince is very kind, and the concubine is unforgettable!" ”

"As long as Chen Xingwang is really not a wicked person, this king is just a gesture. If you don't tell me, I don't know I can do such a good deed. Zhu Gaoxu said. He muttered again, "Killing people is just paying for their lives, why should they harm their families? ”

Li Lou said first: "Because the husband fled, the government lost the Chen family, and let the Chen family's family members go to each family to be slaves and maids, but they still did not resist the husband's big crime." ”

That guy killed someone and fled, which affected his wife, and Li Louxian even pleaded for him! Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to ask, and made a gesture of helping: "Please get up, Mrs. Shen said, you will be on stage today, go and prepare quickly, many people like Miss Li's play." ”

Li Lou thanked him one after another and said, "When the husband comes home, the concubine will ask him to kowtow to the prince to thank him." ”
