Chapter 37: Acting (2)

When Liu Changqing saw Lord Shen come out, he arched his hand and said, "Uncle Shen, I am the ...... of Jinmen."

Lord Shen Zhuang said: "Ah, you are Liu Changqing! You have been kicked out of the sect by your master." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Liu Changqing said: "Exactly, Uncle Shen, I was framed by someone, and there will be a day when right and wrong will be distinguished sooner or later." Lord Shen Zhuang said: "Well, your Master Jin sent someone to deliver a letter last month, saying...... Say...... Said that on the first day of the first month of March, we would come to our place to drink tea and discuss the sword, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we miss it very much. Is your master in good health?" Liu Changqing said: "The family teacher is in good health, and the master is bothered. ”

Only then did Lord Shen Zhuang ask, "What are you here for?"

Liu Changqing said: "I was framed and arrested in the Yangzhou dungeon......"

Lord Shen Zhuang said: "Yangzhou dungeon?" Liu Changqing said: "Exactly, I'm here to ask Uncle Shen, do you know a senior named Xiao Tianhua?"

Lord Shen Zhuang sighed remorsefully and said, "I...... Of course I do, he asked you to come to me. Liu Changqing said: "I was in the dungeon, the cell was adjacent to him, and I heard him talk about what happened when you were young......

Lord Shen Zhuang said: "Alas, I have an impatient personality and have committed a lot of sins, alas, I just hurt Xiao's senior family." ”

Liu Changqing said: "In this way, Xiao Tianhua's predecessors are in Yangzhou Prison?" Shen Zhuang said: "Exactly, I have to visit him every once in a while, and his legs and feet are inconvenient, and that is also because of me." Liu Changqing said dumbfoundedly: "Then Senior Xiao is a person in the dungeon, how to teach me "Tianxuanwu Spectrum"? That must be footwork. ”

Master Shen asked, "What did you say?" Liu Changqing said: "It's okay, what I asked you about is Senior Xiao, thank you Master Shen for telling me." That's it. ”

Lord Shen was about to speak again, and Liu Changqing had already made a farewell.

When Liu Changqing heard the news, he was confused again, since Xiao Tianhua had been teaching him kung fu in prison, it must not be "Tianxuanwu Spectrum", and he was not learning the master's Tianxuanwu Spectrum. The master must have wronged himself, and the most important thing now is to find the person who framed him, and there is no other way than to find Liang Zhao.

Liang Zhao is in the official mansion, and he heard the master say that he is still a fugitive, how can he go to find it in a grand manner?

Suddenly for a few days, Liu Changqing did not wash his face and shave, wandered in the city for a few days, if he met Liang Zhao, it would be much easier, in broad daylight, he could not do anything to himself. But his kung fu is not as good as him, if he fights, he is afraid that he will lose in less than three rounds, so at night, according to Xiao Tianhua's instructions, he will sleep with heavy objects wrapped around his legs, and he sleeps on the tree, and his legs are empty, which is even more effective.

On this day, I went to Yangzhou City to inquire about the news, entered a teahouse, and sat down to drink tea. Suddenly, there was a lot of people on the street, Liu Changqing ran out, saw a group of people in a circle, approached the front, and saw three shirtless stout men performing. Although the three of them look huge, they are generally dexterous, and they are very good-looking in the air tossing and dancing sticks. After the performance, some audience members threw money inside, and the three men hugged each other and kept saying: "Thank you to all the fathers and villagers for cheering up!" Liu Changqing also invested 20 yuan, and said in his heart: "This is real talent and real learning, but it is much better than Zu Wude's deceptive tricks." Thinking of Zu Wude, I was still indignant in my heart.

I also saw a male actor in the middle appearing, wearing a robe, and a female actor Fan Dai dressing up, and the two performed a song "The Little Monk Goes Down the Mountain". The two of them had a funny tone and messy steps, which were much more ridiculous than what he had seen before, and everyone kept laughing. Liu Changqing watched it for a while, and then didn't want to watch it, and suddenly heard a person: "This Yangzhou has played a lot, but Sichuan has changed a lot, I have been to Sichuan a few times, but people's faces will change on stage, and when you wipe your face, you will change it, which is very interesting." When Liu Changqing heard this, he was stunned and thought: "Since I'm afraid that people will recognize my appearance, why don't I pretend to be an actor and dress up, then no one will know me." ”

In this way, Liu Changqing felt that he had found something to do, found an inn to live in, bought some eggs, gypsum, and flour, and thought that he often saw Concubine Zhao also dressed up and put on makeup, although it was just an understatement, it was also useful, and went down to buy women's products, and the lady who was shopping saw a bearded man shopping for something, her eyes widened at the boss, she looked at him for a while, and asked, "What are you buying?"

Liu Changqing pretended to say: "I bought some things for my lady to give her, but I don't know what to buy?"

The lady said: "It turned out to be bought for the lady, I don't know how tall your lady is, her complexion is black and white, and what do you usually use?"

This time it was difficult for him, and he couldn't name any of the things that Concubine Zhao used, so he said, "My lady...... My lady's skin is very white, I'll buy some powder. ”

The eldest lady smiled and said: "Yo, you are the father-in-law, you are not buying it for the lady, right? If you want to buy powder, that's a lot, and for paving, there are lead powder, pearl powder, mercury powder, sandalwood powder, which one do you want?"

Liu Changqing said: "Hmm...... Let's ask for lead powder. ”

The eldest lady said: "Lead powder should be paved first, that is a must, why not take some incense powder and then pad some? I have the best spice in Yangzhou City here, which is found from the Western Regions, called Yingdie powder, full of fragrance, I guarantee that you still want to smell it." ”

Liu Changqing said: "Okay, then take a pack of everything." The eldest lady hurriedly said yes, and said, "Shi Zhu rouge, is it the same for everyone?" Liu Changqing nodded.

The eldest lady said: "Your lady likes wide eyebrows, or thin eyebrows? There are also a lot of lip points, and if it's a finish, it's ......."

Liu Changqing said: "Okay, I want everything, and I'll settle the account quickly." ”

The eldest lady smiled from ear to ear and said, "A total of three taels and fifty dollars, three taels is enough." Your lady doesn't know how happy she is to see you. "Pack a big bag and hand it to Liu Changqing.

Liu Changqing returned to the inn, opened the package, saw a table full of makeup objects, looked at it for a long time, didn't know much, picked up the rouge, brushed off the beard, and smeared it on his mouth, his lips suddenly increased vermilion, and when he looked in the mirror, he also laughed, and said in his heart: "It's really not easy to make up, and you have to change your appearance differently, so there is a lot of research." ”

During the day, Liu Changqing made up indiscriminately in the room, put plaster on his face, dipped it in egg white liquid, flour, and used some fragmented pearl powder, making people who were not like people, ghosts were not like ghosts, standing in front of the mirror, he really scared himself, and laughed out loud.

I pondered back and forth for a few days, pretending not to do it, and started again, I only stayed in the room every day, and this day I painted my eyebrows, cut my beard and brushed it, and when I looked in the mirror, my two eyebrows seemed to be erected, and my hair was chic and backward, very straight, looking left and right in the mirror, I couldn't even recognize myself, haha, laughing.

At night, the street was brightly lit and lively, it turned out that it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he said at the counter: "Checkout!" The shopkeeper was startled when he saw his appearance, and said, "Which room are you a distinguished guest?" Liu Changqing knew that he didn't recognize himself, so he was very satisfied, and gave him more silver taels.

When he arrived on the street, the crowd was full of people, a group of children ran towards him with lanterns, he smiled slightly, dodged over, saw a lot of lanterns on the opposite side, wrote a lot of anagrams on it, walked over, saw a lantern next to a few couplets, approached to read, it turned out to be a poem, wrote: "Last year, on the New Year's Eve, the flower market was as light as day. The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same. I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt. ”

Liu Changqing was obsessed with reading, his heart was desolate, he remembered that he was still enjoying the lanterns with Concubine Zhao last year, so unhappy, but at this time he was alone and very depressed.

Suddenly, I heard a woman's voice say, "I guess this word must be a '杳', otherwise what do you say?"

The voice was Concubine Zhao, Liu Changqing stood there, not even daring to turn his head back, his heart was beating extremely fast, as if he was about to jump out of his mouth.

One said: "Well, there is some truth to that. Look at this, 'I don't know where Madame is?' What could that be?"

Liu Changqing suddenly felt that the sky and the earth were empty, the surrounding crowd could no longer see it, the bustling street was full of lanterns, but he felt extremely dark, and his eyes were about to turn black, and the voice turned out to be the Liang Zhao he had been looking for for days!
