Shi has been studying under Shen Yeling's door for a few days, and the first scene of their troupe in Xunyang is also in the process of preparation.

Xu Man's illness is also gradually improving, she can go to the ground but should not stand for too long, usually she will sit in the small courtyard with the Taishi chair when the sun is shining, basking in the sun. She is thin, she can't get the charm of singing to people before, and she shines in the sun, as if she is drying people.

So when she was basking in the sun, she took out Shen Yeling's upcoming performance and dried it together, and by the way, she took care of it with her good wife and mother, removed the stitches, and cut the threads. Half an afternoon passed when she sat and played like this.

Zhang Shangzhi and Xu Ruliang gradually became familiar with the stone and played together, even Xu Ruliang regularly served medicine to Xu Man, they had to follow, this day Xu Man was still rubbing the beads, and there was a reckless dress that Shen Yeling wanted to wear beside him. She looked up and smiled at the three people who were walking towards her.

Before Xu Ruliang was about to be brought to Xu Man, Zhang Shangzhi ran over, like a child who had not yet been weaned, lying on Xu Man's lap unrelentingly, rubbing his cheeks against the blanket covered by Xu Man's legs, and screaming in a milky voice: "Second aunt."

Xu Ruliang rudely grabbed him by the collar, pulled him off and pulled him to the ground, and put the medicine on Xu Man's hand safely. Xu Man just wanted to help Zhang Shangzhi, but he was worried when he saw Zhang Shangzhi dragged to the ground and rubbed his buttocks, but laughed heartlessly, knowing that this was their brother's play, and he was relieved.

After taking the medicine, he stirred the spoon in the bowl in the medicinal soup, blowing away the heat in the medicine, and glanced at the stone that had been forgotten in the corner. Bending the corners of his eyes at him, he threw a smile that he thought was the most maternal: "I heard that Erlang accepted an apprentice in Xunyang, it's you."

The stone was noticed by Xu Man, and he speculated that the 'Erlang' in Xu Man's mouth should be Shen Yeling, so he dodged Xu Man's gaze according to his words, and said heavily with his nose: "Hmm", and he didn't dare to speak out again.

He instinctively lowered his head or was attracted by the jeweled hair ornament, Xu Man wiped the beaded flowers, wiped the rhinestones, this thing was reflected by the sun, shining on Xu Man's hands, it was difficult not to be noticed.

Zhang Shangzhi was more like a leper dog, squatting at Xu Man's feet, his hands folded on the handle of the Taishi chair: "Second aunt, the second uncle's outfit is really good-looking, but he brought it from Beiping at that time."

Xu Man lowered his eyes, carefully rubbed the rhinestones, and nodded: "Yes, it was given by Young Marshal Bai in Beiping, your second uncle sings well, and people who like him will give him some gifts."

Xu Ruliang and Shishi listened quietly on the side, looking at the exquisite workmanship of the women's clothes and the dazzling headdress, but they were envious.

Shi even imagined in his mind a series of scenes of Shen Yeling wearing this outfit and singing on stage, Meigong Fandai, no matter how much he touched Xunyang, he couldn't find a stunning beauty than him.

After a while, Xu Man rubbed his head on the stone and said softly: "Take this place as your home, and you will have to study hard with your master in the future."

Xu Man's hand gently rested on the stone's head for a moment, almost a snow-white and transparent arm, decorated with an old jade bracelet, and the fragrance of soaphorn on the sleeves of his coat, together with the alabaster applied in the morning, mixed with the snort that entered the stone: this should have been the smell of his mother when she was alive.

Shi felt a warm heart, looked up at Xu Man, only to see Xu Man dragging the disease, her face was not very good, the sun illuminated her outline to sharpen her edges, and her cheeks were deeply sunk into a piece, Shi couldn't help but worry about her illness, thinking that her mother was also dragging such a face before her death, holding him in her arms to tell him a story.

Xu Man's gaze at the stone was even more smiling, and there was no trace of her worrying about her illness.

A few days later, every time Xu Ruliang delivered medicine to Xu Man, he would always carry a stone behind him. The stone found the warmth of his mother from Xu Man.

He originally thought that Shen Yeling was the gentlest man he had ever seen, and his sister was the gentlest woman he had ever seen, but now that it had changed, how could his sister be better than his mother.

He accepted the good things from his brothers in Shen Yeling's mansion bit by bit, but he didn't know that these good things were all exchanged for his flattery and courtesy, only Xu Man's goodness, her gentleness, was a sacrifice without asking for anything in return。。。。。

The assassination incident was predicted by Uncle Lou, and the newspaper openly and secretly did various interviews and comments on Luo Xiaoqi. Luo Xiaoqi's voice and shadow did not appear in the newspaper, nor did he explain whether the killing of Master Cao had anything to do with her, only said that the assassin has always only looked at money and not people, and the real person who can kill Master Cao is undoubtedly the murderer.

His ruthless and cutting-edge words made the questions asked clear, and the people could even bypass the murderer and directly comment on Luo Xiaoqi.

'The head of the Luo family has killed again.'"

Therefore, in the eventful county town of Xunyang, the wanted criminal is far less terrible than Luo Xiaoqi's business.

The most difficult and innocent implicated in this assassination is Shen Yeling, although the murderer hid a gun in his umbrella and was fooled by him, but he has more or less a shadow in his heart.

However, Shen Yeling's first scene in Xunyang was coming, so he was in no mood to pay attention to the assassination, he concentrated on the role in the play, and what he wanted to sing was the highlight of this pear garden: "The Drunken Concubine".

Manager Li also helped Shen Yeling set up the stage one step ahead, and if he wanted to sing grandly, the scene could not be worse than that of Beiping.

Shen Yeling and Manager Li are in a cooperative relationship, and they usually go to the backyard of the theater to talk about something.

On this day, Shen Yeling continued to come to talk to Manager Li, he walked through the backyard of broken flowers and leaves, and then went to the room next to the small courtyard where Manager Li took the hospitality, and saw at a glance that Manager Li's wife Liu was holding a five-year-old child on the stone table at the door.

As soon as the child saw Shen Yeling, he hurriedly broke free from his mother's embrace, threw himself on Shen Yeling's lap, and shouted happily: "Uncle Beauty."

Shen Yeling picked him up, let him sit on his arm with his strong arms, and gently pinched his face with one hand - it was very soft.

Liu got busy and squatted down, bowed his head like Shen Yeling and greeted the child, and corrected the child: "How many times have I told you, it's not Uncle Beauty, it's Uncle Shen."

The child held his mouth, didn't want to listen to his mother's words, and angrily buried his head in Shen Yeling's arms, holding his uncle is a beauty, why can't he be called 'Uncle Beauty'.

Seeing that the child ignored her, he had no choice but to apologize to Shen Yeling with his face; Children are not sensible.

Shen Yeling also nodded to Liu, saluted respectfully, smiled indifferently, and asked what the child called himself.

He was free, turned his head to the closed door of the room, Shen Yeling also pointed, lowered his voice and asked Liu, "Is Manager Li receiving anyone inside?"

Liu took the opportunity to move his gaze to the door of the room, nodded boredly and said: "Yes, who else can there be, it is Mr. Liu who is writing the drama in our house, he went to Jiangyuan Mansion today and was angry and came back to cry and complain to our old Li, what else."

The Mr. Liu she said was the most unpleasant to look at in the whole theater, so she also revealed a little disgusted tone in her speech.

Shen Yeling chuckled in his heart when he heard this, smiled reluctantly, bowed his head politely and said to Liu, "Then I'll come back later", after speaking, he returned the child to Liu and turned around to leave.

Liu took the child and stopped Shen Yeling, pointing to the door of the room, as if he was afraid that the world would be in chaos: "Then Mr. Liu drank some wine, I'm afraid that my family's words are not good, and they will fight."

What she meant was to let Shen Yeling go in too, at least with Manager Li, Liu held the child, picked up his eyes, and pulled Shen Yeling's sleeve in the direction of the room: "Boss Shen, you help me go in and take a look, I have the strength to deal with the quarrel between the two big men in a woman's house, you help me watch it, and I'll go back and help you meet your empty and lonely lady."

After Liu finished speaking, she covered her mouth with one hand and let out a 'giggle' laugh, and she also learned how to tease Shen Yeling from the people in the theater.

However, Shen Ye Lingren is beautiful and easy-going, and he can be embarrassed to say a few nonsense words casually, as if he is not in the world, blushing and having an embarrassed expression. It's a good object for flirting.

Shen Yeling put aside Liu's jokes, but still went in with a red face.

When I entered the house, I saw that Manager Li and Mr. Liu did not fight as Liu said, but stood and sat alone.

Mr. Liu didn't know if he was drunk and confused, or if he was confused by Jiang Yuan, so he didn't pay attention to Shen Yeling coming in, and stood there with his teeth and claws and followed Manager Li to tell him what happened in Jiang Yuan's mansion.

Manager Li was sober-minded, watched Shen Yeling come in, and first pointed to the chair beside him, motioned for him to sit down, and watched Mr. Liu's 'performance'.

Mr. Liu is a scholar, usually full of books, writing the word mean on his face but not revealing it, a gentleman who does not move his mouth, even more so when he is drunk, exuding the unpleasant smell of alcohol on the side of his mouth, playing a three-inch incorruptible tongue, exaggerating today's scene.

"Hmph, I admit that this Jiang Yuan is indeed a bit powerful, he is lying on the couch leisurely alone, facing the three of us who are writing dramas on the desk, he sings and writes us, and he can actually write three dramas at the same time, the plots are eye-catching without overlapping, and even we can't keep up with our thoughts", Mr. Liu first raised and then suppressed Jiang Yuan, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

He picked up the cup of tea on the table and drank it all, as if he had swallowed his admiration for Jiang Yuan just now, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and fanned himself a few times: "But then it can be like this, we can't keep up with him." Can we be said to be third-rate? We were kind enough to help him write a play, but he actually coaxed us away, which was so deceitful that I was so angry that I swore that I would never write a play for Jiang Yuan again, what is he, he thinks that he can write a ninth-rate gadget in the kiln, and he can point fingers at us, and there is no one in his eyes."

Mr. Liu said and slapped the cup on the table heavily, showing his dissatisfaction.

Shen Yeling was originally kind and didn't think anything about this Mr. Liu. But Jiang Yuan has always been very good in his memory, and he can't tolerate being tarnished by others in front of him.

He suddenly had a different idea about this Mr. Liu in his heart, but he still forcibly retorted with 'knowing what he is doing and stopping at courtesy': "Mr. Jiang, how can a person be talented, how can he do such a thing?" ”

But now even Manager Li shook his head and denied Shen Yeling's rebuttal, and he helplessly used his actions to show that Jiang Yuan was indeed so arrogant.

Mr. Liu's reaction was even more excited, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and was about to say his arguments to Shen Yeling at great length, so he was careful and changed to a milder tone: "Boss Shen, you have been here for a short time, you may not know the details of this, Jiang Yuan is the person we know best, and the literati and ink writers he offended can be lined up from our county to the next county." The deeds of no one in his eyes were as high as a stack of walls if they were written down in black and white. ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he pointed out the door: "If it weren't for the fact that his father was the Taishi of the former dynasty, and he had the support of the Luo family behind him, we would have stripped this guy of all his life."

Mr. Liu said this, and Manager Li nodded cooperatively in agreement.

Shen Yeling sighed in his heart, the two of them said that Jiang Yuan was not on the same front one after the other, and Shen Yeling was powerless to refute, so he had to sigh: "No", to express his opinion.

However, Manager Li has just cooperated with Mr. Liu for a while, and there is a limit to what can be done to him.

Mr. Liu is in full swing, but in the end he is still a powerless scholar, and he is still working under his own hands, and he relies on his own wages to support his family, so he doesn't have to pretend to please him like Shen Yeling.

He also said without being surprised: "Mr. Liu, we still have to bring a lock when we speak, if we don't have a door on our mouth, but we want to offend people, his father is good to say, what strength is this Luo family, don't you don't understand, can we afford to offend?" ”

Although Manager Li has nothing to do with Mr. Liu, there is no need to pretend to please him. But he and Mr. Liu have been friends for many years, and they have always only confided the most sincere warning to each other - Jiang Yuan has Luo Xiaoqi behind him, and he is the person who Quan Xunyang can't afford to offend.

Mr. Liu looked at the doors and windows closed, there should be no one eavesdropping outside the door, and Manager Li has been a friend for many years and will not say anything. Shen Yeling is also a cautious person. His words were told to them behind closed doors, and they could not be leaked outside.

So he had the audacity to get angry and go crazy: "Hmph, who doesn't know about Jiang Yuan and the Luo family, if he didn't have a leg with the former head of the family, Luo Zhengting, the Luo family would be able to tolerate him, he pretended to be tall and unruly in front of us." It's not like a dog to Luo's house."

In front is Luo Zhengting, and now it is Luo Xiaoqi, and he will follow whoever is the head of the Luo family.
