Yangzhou City, deep in the east gate, did not fall silent because of the arrival of night, but more noisy gongs and drums.

When Qiu Yao walked in front of the Luojia opera troupe, he heard the little guy inside greeting the guests with a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight will start the performance of "The Peony Pavilion"!" The appearance of that Danjiao is very similar to Luo Ziyi back then! ”

Qiu Yao stopped, took out three copper plates from his pocket and threw them over, three copper plates and a pot of Biluochun, a play, it doesn't seem to be expensive. Don't look at Qiu Yao's age of less than twenty, but he has heard many wonderful plays, especially "The Peony Pavilion".

The little student on the stage lifted the curtain of the play, and with a few crisp flower drums, Du Liniang stepped on the rhythm and entered the venue. Danjiao on the stage and Luo Ziyi wore the same costume, played the same Du Liniang, sang the same lines, and sang to the depths of love, and the drama was teary-eyed.

Qiu Yao looked at the drama on the stage, his face was expressionless, and suddenly the drum board made a muffled "bang", and the accompaniment stopped abruptly, and he waited for a long time and did not continue. Some people in the audience have begun to hold back, and there are bursts of inverted colors, that "Du Liniang" is on stage for the first time today, I didn't expect it to be this situation, I didn't know what to do for a while, I stood in the center of the stage in a daze, and didn't move.

The backstage of the Luo family opera troupe has become a mess, and someone exclaimed: "Why are all the drum skins of this flower drum broken?" ”

The drum skin of the flower drum is broken, where can this scene be sung, but Qiu Yao showed enough patience at the moment, he held his hands on his chest, and looked at "Du Liniang" in the center of the stage for a long time, and waited until everyone dispersed before Qiu Yao slowly walked to the stage and approached "Du Liniang": "I heard that you look like Luo Ziyi?" ”

After finishing speaking, Qiu Yao glanced at "Du Liniang" who was stunned on the stage: "Do you know that these flower hubs in the background were all broken by me." ”

"Du Liniang" stared at Qiu Yao with a pair of crying red eyes.

Liu Changan followed behind the little girl, although he was in a hurry, he couldn't help but be a little curious about some rumors in the market: "There are really a lot of rare things in your house, I heard that the lost young master of your family was found by himself ten years ago?" And isn't the grandmother in charge of your family the main lady of Master Qiu? ”

"Isn't it? When I first came, I also wondered why our house was headed by my aunt and grandmother, I heard that the eldest grandmother died twenty years ago, and the death was strange, but I just took pity on our eldest young master, who was obviously a son-in-law, and my aunt and grandmother ..... him again" The little girl wanted to speak and stopped.

Liu Changan asked, "What?" Your aunt and grandmother neglected your eldest young master? ”

"Hey, after all, it wasn't born to the aunt and grandmother in charge, I see, the aunt and grandmother are worried that the eldest young master will compete with her for the family property in the future, who let her not give birth to a son?" The little girl didn't shy away from it, slowed down her pace and lowered her voice and asked, "By the way, Doctor Liu, you said that my aunt and grandmother are in their forties, and my lord is like that, how did she get pregnant with a child?" It won't really be like the one out there...... Got it with a home remedy, right? ”

The little girl just said to herself, but Liu Changan didn't know what to say at the moment, so she stopped talking.

-

Walking into Qiu's mansion, Liu Changan's hand carrying the medicine box trembled unconsciously.

Liu Changan walked into his aunt's bedroom, carefully checked his pulse, and found that his aunt's child was only six or seven months old, and there was no sign of premature birth.

My aunt, who had been making trouble all night, was still a little uneasy: "Doctor Liu, I am going to give birth to a son this time!" ”

Liu Changan chuckled and said: "Grandma is really joking, you are also a mother, how can you not know that having children and daughters is not something you can decide alone." ”

Unexpectedly, my aunt's face turned pale, and then she grabbed Liu Changan's hand, and said urgently: "Doctor Liu, you can help me take a closer look, this is my fifth child, the first few are daughters, and I am also old, if this child is no longer a son, I am afraid that I will never be able to give birth to it in the future!"

Liu Changan was taken aback by his aunt's sudden move, quickly withdrew his hand, and said impatiently: "Why should my aunt be so persistent, they are all their own children, it's better to let it be." ”

"Go with the flow? Go with the flow? You want me to go with the flow! Grandma repeated what Liu Changan said several times, and then laughed sneeringly.

When Liu Changan was leaving, he wrote a calming recipe and handed it to the little girl.

-

Liu Changan followed the little girl out of the house, and when he passed by the backyard, a melodious sound of flower drum drama came into his ears, Liu Changan was a little panicked when he heard it, and waited until the sound of the play disappeared before he came back to his senses and asked, "What is singing this night?" ”

"It's our master! I have to sing it every night. The little girl pointed to her head again: "Crazy." ”

Mr. Qiu got madness because of the death of his wife, Liu Changan did not know, although the Qiu family was born as a businessman, it was not a big family, but it was very rich, to the generation of Mr. Qiu, he also donated a position in the same state, and he was barely a court official, just twenty years ago, the lord Qiu in his prime desperately married a drama to be the wife of the main house, this matter was in a uproar in Yangzhou City, and everyone said that Mr. Qiu was a lover, but later, the play died, and it didn't take long for Mr. Qiu to go crazy.

Liu Changan returned to the medical hall, put the medicine box back in its place, and took advantage of the dawn to return to the couch in the back room to rest for a while. After lying down, Liu Changan turned over and gently brushed the black hair on the side of his head, one by one, until he closed his eyes sleepily, and the strand of hair slipped down from his hand.

Qiu Yao returned to the Qiu Mansion under a heavy snowfall, and came back with him, and there was a woman wrapped in a red cloak, and the guy in the concierge thought that his young master had beaten the wind and brought people back, but this woman's figure was extremely tall, and she leaned on the young master's side, which was a foot taller than Qiu Yao. The two walked to the backyard and met the big man with a flower drum, and when the old man looked up, he saw a vivid "Du Liniang" walking into the shadow of the red plum and snow, and he was stunned for a moment.

It didn't take long for Master Qiu to die.

-

That night, Liu Changan had just fallen asleep when he was called out, and there was still the little girl outside the door, shouting incessantly: "Doctor Liu!" Help! ”

This time, Liu Changan got up unhurriedly and followed the little girl to the Qiu family's compound again. Aunt and Grandma and Qiu Yao stayed in the east house of the Qiu family, and it was the Qiu family master who was lying upright on the bed. Liu Changan took a closer look, and knew that this Master Qiu was lacking in skills, when Master Qiu was lying face down in the snow, and when the people who swept the snow found out, his body was already frozen.

The aunt and grandmother paced in the room in despair, blindly telling Liu Changan to hurry up and give the prescription, Liu Changan had to pretend to break open Master Qiu's eyes and look at it again, Qiu Yao seemed very calm, as if the person who died in front of him was just a beggar at the head of Dongguan Bridge, and had nothing to do with him. He patted his legs, which were already numb, found a seat to sit down, and ordered someone to soak a pot of green poplar spring. Seeing this, my aunt scolded and said, "You little beast raised by a play, you killed the master!" Do you think I don't know! ”

Qiu Yao also snorted coldly: "What's wrong with the play?" That's also the eldest lady of the main house of the Qiu Mansion, and I am the eldest son of the Qiu family! You're just a maid arranged by an old madman to give my mother! You are charming and the master of the house, my mother was soft-hearted back then, and agreed that the old madman would accept you as a second room, and you still have the face to talk about it today. He held the cup in one hand and blew off the tea foam brewed by the boiling water: "And this Qiu Mansion, who doesn't want this old madman to die soon?" ”

After speaking, Qiu Yao suddenly slammed the cup on the floor in the middle: "Who dares to say no!" ”

The room fell silent.
