Chapter 18 Skirts
Liao Caichen sat there calmly, sipping the tea gently, and said to Yu Chunhua, "Class master, this tea is good, sweet and mellow, and the aroma is clear, you can taste it." ”
Yu Chunhua said in his heart that you kid has a big heart, and stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back, wanting to breathe in the courtyard.
As soon as you go out, there is a wall that separates the main hall from the main entrance of the house. On the wall is the pattern of the sunrise and the sea of clouds, only to see the clouds and mist rolling, such as the vast smoke waves, and a round of red sun above, as if it can reflect the brilliance in general, scorching and shining.
"Rich people are so delicate in everything they do, unlike us, the four seas are our homes, and we have to be grateful to have a comfortable bed to sleep in every night." Yu Chunhua sighed and was about to leave, but before he could take a step, he suddenly turned his head again and looked at the thick wall. He found that the sun was not carved into it, but a stone cave that had been carved out, and there seemed to be light penetrating on the other side of the hole.
Yu Chunhua didn't know if this was intentional by the owner's family or if there was something else, so he walked to the wall and put his eyes on the sun.
It didn't matter what he looked at, he suddenly let out a "huh", took two steps back, and said "weird." ”
Liao Caichen was led out by his voice, and said to Yu Chunhua, "Class master, what's wrong?" Why are you so flustered? ”
Yu Chunhua grabbed the back of his neck and pointed at Zhaobi, "The sun is a hole, you lean over and see what you can see?" ”
"Holes?" Liao Caichen didn't take this matter to heart, so he just walked to the wall according to Yu Chunhua's words, put one eye to the cave, and looked at the opposite side.
But when he looked at it like this, he couldn't hold back the "oops", and said in a panic, "Ah, how can there be an identical courtyard on the other side?" I didn't see this yard at the door when I came here just now. ”
After saying this, the two of them hurriedly left the wall and went around to the front, and the four eyes looked at the opposite side together: how can there be any identical house, outside the courtyard gate, there is a bamboo forest, the bamboo shadow is sufficient, the bamboo leaves are rustling, like the sound of footsteps.
"Hey, something strange happened today." Liao Caichen laughed twice, wanting to go around to the back of the wall to look again, but at this moment, a figure walked over from the corridor next to the main hall, he was wearing a beautiful lake-colored silk coat, short boots, but the sound of walking was soft, if it wasn't for Liao Caichen seeing him when he turned around, it is estimated that he approached the two people and did not notice.
"Young Master Qiu." Liao Caichen was stunned for a moment, and looked at the person in a daze.
Qiu Ran smiled at him and said, "Miss Liao came as promised, and Qiu is very grateful." However, because there are some family matters to deal with, I am really sorry for making the two of you wait for a long time. ”
Yu Chunhua saw Qiu Ran for the first time, and when he saw that he was full of etiquette in his words and demeanor, his heart was relieved. He was originally afraid that Qiu Ran was a rude and arrogant person, and if he found out that Liao Caichen was a man, the entire troupe might suffer.
So he put all the strange things behind him, and asked Qiu Ran with a smile, "I don't know why Young Master Qiu wants us to come to the mansion to sing?" Don't you like the clutter of people in the tea garden? ”
Qiu Ran smiled slightly, "Exactly, listening to this drama in that environment, it is actually ruining this play." ”
"But this play requires several people to sing together, and you only invited Liao ...... Yes...... If the girl comes alone, I'm afraid she will not perform well. ”
Qiu Ran waved his hand slightly, "It's okay, whether the play is good or not depends on the audience's own feelings, and the class owner can rest assured." ”
***
Liao Caichen sang very well tonight, busy but not chaotic, slow and continuous, the water sleeves are like leaving, layered, but subtle but revealing inseparable friendship. There is no trace of connection between the tall and the low, it is the water scissors eyes and fog cut clothes, when the feast is a beautiful spring.
Even Yu Chunhua was surprised by his interpretation, and constantly regretted why such a good seedling didn't know how to cherish himself. But on one side of his face, he saw Qiu Ran, who was sitting alone at the table, staring at Liao Caichen who was dancing, with two hot tears in his eyes.
"It seems that this man who is not short of money also has his own hardships, which can be said to be the same as the song in the play: 'Every family has its own account, and every family has difficulty singing.'" ”
Thinking like this, my heart was a little soothed, and at this moment, Liao Caichen sang a melodious and tactful end note to end the play.
Qiu Ran wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and applauded slowly at Liao Caichen, who had not yet relaxed his posture, but his eyes seemed to grow on him, motionless.
Yu Chunhua said badly in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward to pull Liao Caichen, and then turned back to Qiu Ran and smiled, "Young Master Qiu, Miss Liao's makeup is a little confused, I'll take her to the back to redraw it, you eat some wine and food first, and then let her sing the next one for you later." ”
After speaking, he pulled Liao Caichen out, and the two of them didn't have anything to say, just crouched on the railing and looked at the sparse bamboo next to them in a daze.
"Class master, you say, why does this young man Qiu have a soft spot for "The Legend of the West Chamber"?" After a while, Liao Caichen muttered silently, touching his chin with his hand.
"Maybe there's a new widow in the house?"
After saying this thoughtfully, Yu Chunhua glanced at the room behind him, and he saw that Qiu Ran was still sitting at the table and did not move, so he turned back to Liao Caichen and said, "It's almost time to go in, after you finish singing, let's take the money and leave quickly, don't delay here for too long." ”
"Look at your care." Liao Caichen sneered, turned around and wanted to walk towards the house, but it was such a turn that made him see a person: the upper body was not clear to see, but the apricot-red phoenix tail skirt on the lower body was so dazzling in the bamboo forest. Now, the skirt is blown up by the wind, like an open umbrella, hanging above the ground, gently swaying with the wind.
"Don't love heroes, don't envy arrogance, voluntarily live together, die with the same hole......"
She chanted softly, and one side of her body passed directly through the wall at the end of the bamboo forest, only the hem of her skirt left a red shadow in the darkness, like a trail of blood, and then slowly disappeared.
"Ahh
Liao Caichen was so frightened that he screamed out loud, his body fell two steps back, and his back hit the door, alarming the people inside.
"Miss Liao, what's wrong?"
Qiu Ran pushed the door out from inside, glanced at the direction that Liao Caichen was staring at, and said with a smile, "Miss Liao, didn't you see the old eagle, this yard is not good at all, there are a lot of old eagles, and the cry sounds quite infiltrating at night." ”
"Yes, it's the old eagle."
Liao Caichen suppressed the fear in his heart and said, but he knew very well in his heart that what he saw would definitely not be an old eagle, never.
