Chapter VIII
The backyard of the Yongchun class in the spring of the first year of the Republic of China
A woman sits in front of the mirror, holding a lock of green silk behind her head to her chest and slowly combing it with a peach wood comb.
Dai's eyebrows are bent, her eyes are moist, she looks at the past lightly, shy and timid, making people feel like she has been scratched by a cat, which is particularly seductive, Qiong's nose is small and tall, and there is a small red and full mouth underneath.
If you only see this, you will feel that this woman is beautiful but frivolous, but the woman's cheeks are full, not a melon seed face, but a more dignified goose egg face, which gets rid of the charm and adds a bit of dignified. In this way, half a point is not much, half a point is a lot, but it is a rare beauty. This woman is none other than Heguang.
Ten years of time like a white horse flies, in the past ten years, she has patiently studied drama with her sister, and the years of the change of dynasty were frequent, and the days were extremely difficult, plus the master and the mother passed away one after another, the people in the team walked away, escaped, and the Yongchun class was almost scattered, and the light and the senior brother and the three masters, eight or nine children survived together.
Among them, Heguang doesn't want to talk about it anymore, I don't know what others think, Heguang himself is for Ming'er to appear on stage in Shengping Theater. She hasn't forgotten that she will be able to see Lin Feizhuo tomorrow. I haven't seen her for ten years, and when I think of this name, that face comes out of my heart, not blurred at all, and even the love makes her heart stir. Kazumitsu was so engrossed that he didn't even notice that anyone had entered the room.
As soon as Zhang Xubai entered the house, what he saw was Heguang staring at the mirror with a stunned appearance, and he couldn't help but feel funny.
"Kowako is thinking about going on stage tomorrow?" As soon as Kazumitsu heard the words, she felt a hand on the top of her head, gently rubbing the top of her hair.
"Senior brother, you're here!" He Guang didn't have to turn around to know that it was Zhang Xubai, although she is now sixteen years old, but the senior brother still treats her like a child, this habit of touching her head has been there since she was six years old, and Heguang has sometimes been worried in the past ten years, but don't touch her bald.
Zhang Xubai bent down and took the wooden comb in Heguang's hand, and carefully removed a few green silks wrapped between his teeth, and then combed his hair for Heguang.
"Wako girl is nervous?" Zhang Xubai asked softly, and He Guang stared at the handsome young man in the mirror with a slight distraction. The man's appearance is very outstanding, his complexion is fair, his facial features are handsome, his eyes are warm and clear, his posture is straight, and even the hand holding the wooden comb is distinct, with slender roots, and people can't find fault with it all over his body.
This is her senior brother, who has accompanied her for ten years and protected her for ten years. Only Heguang knows that these gentle and calm eyes have turned up the wind and rain and shed tears because of his serious illness, and these good-looking hands have also clenched their fists and killed the killer in order to protect themselves, and Heguang knows that this tall body has supported a peace in this troubled world for himself, although it is not big, but it can accommodate a Li Heguang, even now he has not bent it.
Heguang is not a little girl who doesn't know anything, what Zhang Xubai thinks about herself, Heguang has long understood, and even made it clear to Zhang Xubai early on, she Li Heguang doesn't like him, and she Li Heguang will not be his wife in this life.
But let himself say it, persuade and persuade, and even do not do anything less to protect the media, Zhang Xuebai was stunned as if he had not heard it, and did not waver at all, whenever he mentioned it, he always looked at himself with a gentle smile on his face, looked at himself fixedly, and forced Heguang to shut up.
Until three years ago, Shi Niang was seriously ill, and before leaving, Zhang Xubai and herself were called to the edge of the bed, Shi Niang saw her son grow up, but now she can't see him become her own son, and she regrets in her heart, so she moved her mind to marry Heguang and her son, although Heguang is guilty but can't bear to deceive, in the end she bluntly refused.
Zhang Xubai was stubborn, even if the master was angry, he didn't let him change his words, only said that he had his own decision. Since then, Kazuko hasn't mentioned it again. It's just that he is planning in his heart to find a good family for his senior brother in the future, and the Zhang family is kind to him, so he can't let the Zhang family's incense be broken.
Thinking about it, Heguang had a headache when he looked at Zhang Xuebai. I vaguely remember that when I was a child, I described him as like a small bamboo with brittle roots, and now this small bamboo has grown into a stubborn big bamboo.
"Senior brother, I'm really a little nervous." He Guang lowered her head and replied, she was nervous, not because she was going to take the stage, but because of Lin Feizhuo.
"Xiao Heguang don't be nervous, your play has been sung very well, Shanghai Kunqu Opera has withered in the past two years, and now looking at the whole Shanghai Tang, there are only a handful of outstanding Kunqu Opera Dan Corners, you don't have to worry, tomorrow you will be able to become famous on stage." Zhang Xubai put down the wooden comb in his hand, went around to Heguang's body and squatted down, meeting Heguang's lowered gaze. Seeing the confusion and uneasiness in the little girl's eyes, he felt a little distressed.
"Miss Heguang, tomorrow Xiaosheng and Miss will be on stage together, and please take care of Miss One or Two, if there is anything abrupt, I hope Miss will forgive me." Zhang Xue opened his mouth suddenly, and said some nonsense in the singing section of Liu Mengmei in the Peony Pavilion and Shocking Dreams, and got up to make Heguang Xing, which made Heguang laugh.
Tomorrow, Zhang Xubai is indeed on stage with Heguang, singing the scene of the Peony Pavilion and the Dream of the Garden, and Guang plays Du Liniang, and Zhang Xubai plays Liu Mengmei. In the past ten years, Heguang has never appeared on stage because of his imperfect skills, and the world is extremely chaotic, and the other children are still young, so the whole team relied on Zhang Xubai and several masters to sing on stage to make a living in the early years.
"Senior brother doesn't tease me anymore, it should be senior brother who takes care of me tomorrow." Kazuko glanced at him, raised his hand, and turned away, too lazy to look at his smiling eyes.
"Okay, I won't make fun of you, sing in the Shengping Theater tomorrow afternoon, you will check your line tonight, sing the lyrics again, and have a good rest, you don't have to worry about anything else, everything has me." Zhang Xubai raised his hand and stroked Heguang's head, and a pair of eyes swept over her eyebrows, and there was a strong affection in her eyes.
He Guang was about to speak, but Zhang Xubai seemed to know what she was going to say, and before He Guang could speak, she quickly turned around and left. Leaving only Kazuko and another sigh. The sorrowful and light even left Lin Feizhuo's matter behind, sitting at the table and looking at the begonias that Zhang Xubai planted for her in the yard in a daze.
This room is still the one that Zhang Xubai used to have, although there have been no major changes, but in the past ten years, Zhang Xubai has successively added a lot of things to her. The azure bed tent was given by Zhang Xubai when she was seven years old, the woodcarved tiger on the dresser was given to her when she was eight years old, and the pair of silver ear bells was just pierced when she was nine years old, and her ears were so uncomfortable that she couldn't wear iron and copper earrings.
At that time, he practiced during the day and went to work as coolies at night, but he was stunned and didn't see it, but later in retrospect, he was very thin in those months. In this room, everything from the wardrobe to the hairpin earrings were all purchased by Zhang Xubai, and there was his shadow everywhere he looked. Heguang's heart was very chaotic, her rebirth was originally for Lin Feizhuo, she never thought that there would be a Zhang Xubai, and the taste of not being able to love, Heguang hated it very much, but now she let Zhang Xubai suffer this pain.
