Peking Opera Huadan stunning international talent show

Pei Qinyin's popularity became more and more popular, to the point where no one in the capital knew about it. Many banquets held by celebrities and aristocratic families used her to sing as a gimmick.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce is Zhao Jingyu's vassal, and every year on his mother's birthday, he will treat Zhao Jingyu as the guest of honor.

Qi Ye came with Zhao Jingyu, only to find out that this family also invited Pei Qinyin to sing this year.

But at the dinner table, Zhao Jingyu smiled when the chairman saw that the topic he was looking for couldn't please Zhao Jingyu, rolled his eyes, and began to introduce Pei Qinyin's play.

Zhao Jingyu didn't care at all, after listening to a few paragraphs, he grinned: "Interesting."

The president's brows immediately lit up with joy: "Duan Duan, isn't it good?"

The people next to him echoed: "It's more than good, this Boss Pei's voice is really just one word—absolutely!"

Zhao Jingyu squinted his eyes: "No matter how well you sing, it's just a joke."

Hearing his words, everyone present looked at each other.

They have all heard that this Mr. Zhao has some special hobbies. According to rumors, several of them can be carried out of the back door of their mansion every month.

Qi Ye who was standing by the side froze.

In the heart that has been frozen for a long time in recent years, he suddenly felt such intense fear. This emotion was so real that he couldn't believe it was produced by his own heart.

As if suddenly waking up from anesthesia, Qi Ye found that his bound hands and feet were now bloody and painful.

But, not yet.

The president of the chamber of commerce has already tentatively asked: "Aren't you the handsome? Are you interested?"

Not yet.

Zhao Jingyu's tone was casual: "Choose a day——"

"Uncle Zhao, can you show your love?"

Qi Ye said calmly when he heard his own voice.

This is the first time he has contradicted Zhao Jingyu in two years.

As soon as Qi Ye's words came out, everyone in the room fell silent. The relationship between this pair of pseudo-uncles and nephews has always been arousing speculation. Is it going to be torn apart today?

Zhao Jingyu didn't have a fit, but glanced at Qi Ye meaningfully, and the ending sound was thought-provoking:

"Why, you like it very much?"

There was a trace of a smile on his sickly pale face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

However, Qi Ye could feel the real eyes rolling over his face, as if waiting for an opportunity to hide, trying to draw out any trace of his weakness.

Qi Ye's face remained unchanged, and he said casually: "Her voice is special, I'm used to it."

After a pause, as if he finally understood the atmosphere in the arena, Qi Ye leaned over and respectfully said in Zhao Jingyu's ear:

"But if you like it, you can take it. As a nephew, you can't compete with your uncle. You are right, this is just a thing."

Zhao Jingyu laughed twice, "How can it be."

His tone was meaningful, and he told the people next to him, "Go and tell the class leader, this one on stage, after the show, take it back to Qi Mansion, and treat it as my New Year gift to my nephew."

After Zhao Jingyu spoke, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Hahaha Master Zhao is really refreshing!"

"You really dote on this kid."

"It's just a pity for the seats in the capital. Boss Pei can't come out to sing, but it's not good for my ears."

bang-

A shattering sound of porcelain interrupted the compliments.

Qi Ye glanced around, and saw that it was a boy who was pouring tea and drinking water and pretending to be a servant, standing there blankly.

He has seen this kid before, and he has appeared in the Yanqing troupe several times. He is probably a student in the troupe, and he can only come to help out if he can't get on stage yet.

Seeing him standing there stupidly with a pale face, Qi Ye quickly glanced left and right, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing there, get out!"

Seeing his attack, the others didn't say anything more.

Instead, he hehe persuaded, "There will always be stupid people down here, it's okay, Sui Sui is safe."

"That's right, Qi Er just got a beautiful girl, why is he so angry?"

While Qi Ye was responding, out of the corner of his eye he saw the man running towards the stage in a panic.

Sure enough, when the play was over, Qi Ye saw the boy standing beside Pei Qinyin, grabbing her sleeve and talking eagerly.

Pei Qinyin shook her head, and was smiling at the boy when she was suddenly surrounded by Zhao Jingyu's soldiers.

The men, women and children who were cheering for Pei Qinyin in the audience just now were silent when they saw the battle, and walked sideways and left quickly.

Qi Ye's gaze just passed through the turbulent crowd, and met Pei Qinyin's gaze.

Even though they were far away, he seemed to be able to see the unbelievable look in Pei Qinyin's eyes.

But he just turned his eyes away, followed Zhao Jingyu and stepped out of the gate without looking back.

When he returned home that night, the old housekeeper reported that Pei Qinyin had been placed in another courtyard.

Qi Ye paused for a moment, then finally took a look at her and asked, "Did that group of soldiers treat you well today?"

Pei Qinyin sat on the embroidered stool and did not get up, "Xie Erye is concerned, when can I leave?"

Qi Ye caught his breath, "You didn't call me that before."

"Before?" Pei Qinyin murmured.

"I used to think that you were a confidant who knew and loved drama and could appreciate my stage."

"When Xiao Zhao found me, I told him that you would never do this, because the look in your eyes from the audience made me think that we really had a tacit understanding."

"But it turns out that I misunderstood the second master."

Qi Ye's voice was so dry that he couldn't speak, and Pei Qinyin stood up and walked towards him, "Xiao Zhao said, it was you who begged Zhao Jingyu for me."

"It's just a thing?" Pei Qinyin looked at Qi Ye with indifference, like a stranger.

"It turns out that you, like those people, work for tigers and use power to suppress others."

Qi Ye knew in his heart that Pei Qinyin's harsh questioning was waiting for him to refute.

But he remained silent, and then, masochistically, he watched the light in Pei Qinyin's eyes gradually disappear when he looked at him.

Qi Ye laughed in his heart.

But he can't say anything.

I don't know if Zhao Jingyu's eyes and ears have been infiltrated in this mansion, or even absolutely, he can't be 100% sure that Pei Qinyin in front of him is not someone sent to test him out.

What happened today was already acting on his own impulse. In the past two years, he wished he could sleep with his eyes open, and if he was a little careless, there would be a day when there would be no big revenge.

What's more, what can he say to Pei Qinyin?Said he recognized a thief as his father?Or is it about his helplessness?

Qi Ye laughed at himself.What is the difference between him and Zhao Jingyu in essence?

He even coveted her for many years.

Qi Ye finally avoided Pei Qinyin's questioning, and said, "In the future, you can leave if you want, but you can't do it now, it's too chaotic outside."

Pei Qinyin lowered her eyes, and then raised her eyes a few seconds later, as if she had suppressed her emotions: "So, the second master will allow me to sing? Will you let me go free?"

"Of course." Qi Ye promised.

He thought that when all the dust settled, he would give Pei Qinyin a gift.

Maybe it was his words that made Pei Qinyin believe it temporarily, or maybe it was because he knew it was useless to talk too much. In short, in the next six months, Pei Qinyin seemed to gradually get used to life in the mansion.

Although he is not salty or light to him, but once in a while they have dinner together, they will quietly eat the dishes he puts for her.

The weather was getting warmer and the fragrance of flowers was floating in the air. Once Qi Ye walked through the corridor and saw Pei Qinyin leading a group of little girls flying kites through the window edge in the courtyard.

"Second Master, it's been a long time since you smiled like this?"

Qi Ye turned his head and saw that the adjutant was looking at him, his eyes were sour and relieved.

He raised his hand to touch his face, only to realize that the corners of his mouth had curled up at some point.

In the past, he always had a bright smile, rode his horses along the long street, and came and went as he pleased, but now thinking about it, he always feels like it happened in his previous life.

Qi Ye raised his hand and pressed the adjutant's shoulder.

"I will accompany Zhao Jingyu to the three provinces this time, and it will take several months. You stay in the mansion and take care of her more."

The news from the three provinces has been frequent in recent days, and the Li army has caused several commotions one after another. The major warlord factions have different opinions on this, and there are endless disputes.

Zhao Jingyu went over this time just to preside over the meeting and to unify everyone's position.

Anyone can smell the signs, the wind is jittery, and the situation is about to explode.

And Qi Ye finally got his chance.

That year was another bitter summer, the sun was scorching, the mud was cracked, and the traffickers and pawns on the streets were looking forward to it for half a month, but there was not a single drop of rain.

However, one day, there was a thunderous sound in the sky.

Even in the courtyard, one could hear the cheers from the other side of the long street. Under the gloomy sky, Zhao Jingyu watched Qi Ye walk towards him step by step through the heavy rain.

Following Qi Ye's movement, the soldiers around him drew their guns in unison, and turned their heads to point at him.

The thick water vapor hits the face, and what is more profound is the chill of the position being reversed rapidly.

A few steps away from the threshold, rainwater flowed down the brim of Qi Ye's hat, drenching his hair and the side of his neck, but it couldn't wash away the knife-like cold coercion on his body.

Zhao Jingyu's pupils constricted.

The cub who was as gentle as a dog under his feet suddenly opened his eyes like a huge beast.

-

Zhao Jingyu's head was thrown into the puddle in the courtyard by Qi Ye casually. He raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were as heavy as Wan Jun, wanting to tear apart the dark rainy sky.

Suddenly, Qi Ye took a step back and knelt down facing the sky.

The action was the same as when he knelt down in front of Zhao Jingyu back then.

But this time, what he knelt down was relatives, not enemies.

"Shua..." all the soldiers of the Qi family in the courtyard followed and knelt down in unison, with the sound of rain splashing.

Qi Ye's throat slipped, suppressing the choking of grief, holding the incense sticks above his head.

Wet rainwater dripped down the back of his hands, Qi Ye bowed meticulously three times before getting up and inserting the incense into the ashes.

It was raining heavily outside, but needles could be heard indoors. Only two sticks of incense were burning for a long time against the heavy water vapor.

The heavy rain slowed down the transmission of the news, and it was not until the next day that everyone learned about the big show of rivalry, and all the people from all walks of life were ready to move.

But Qi Ye didn't give them time to attack.

So the warlords soon received the news that all the soldiers under Zhao Jingyu had been taken over by Qi Qiye.

It was only when these big figures on the stage realized that Zhao Jingyu wanted to control the Qi family army through Qi Ye, but the past few years he kept Qi Ye by his side, didn't he give the other party a chance to infiltrate himself?

But to be able to do all this under Zhao Jingyu's nose, the wisdom and calculations required make people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.

Originally thought that the Qi family had withdrawn from the stage, but they didn't expect that the second child of the Qi family, who had been dormant for many years, was able to lead troops better than his father and his eldest brother, and even worse.

After this incident, no one dared to underestimate Qi Ye.

No matter how the outside world's evaluation changes, Qi Ye no longer cares.

The major event has been decided, but when he returned to the capital, he didn't go back to the mansion first, but went to Liyuan instead.

It was already evening when he came out again, the continuous rain made the streets extremely muddy, Qi Ye felt that the road back home was so long for the first time.

After running around in the rain for several days, his cloak was already soaked, but at this moment, he folded the deed and put it in his arms, so he didn't get wet at all.

Qi Ye heard the sound of the horse's hoof breaking through the puddle, but he was thinking about Pei Qinyin's expression when he received this document.

He gave her the Yanqing class.

He wanted to tell Pei Qinyin that this time, she no longer had to worry about anyone.

In the future, she can sing whenever she wants, and she doesn't have to socialize with long-sleeved dances, and she won't be scolded and changed the lyrics of the play with her hands tied.

They are all free.

Qi Ye got off his horse, threw the rope to the porter, and stepped in without looking back.

The faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus floated in the air, which he hadn't noticed in the early autumn before, but it was the first time he smelled it at this time, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips jerky

However, he didn't expect that when he came to the other courtyard, he would be greeted by a kneeling adjutant.

The scent of flowers was drenched and crushed by the rain, and the branches and leaves drooped in the cold, and they could not be found again.

Pei Qinyin's voice was ruined.

This fact made Qi Ye freeze in front of the door.

Meeting his gaze, the adjutant lowered his head in guilt, and Qi Ye pieced together the whole story from his confession.

Jiang Lishi, third uncle's granddaughter, his so-called cousin.

The third uncle had no children for many years, and only had an only daughter. This granddaughter is no different from his own granddaughter.

Because he was the first person to stand up to support Qi Ye, the status of the elders of the three clans has risen in the past two years. His precious granddaughter wanted to visit Pei Qinyin, and naturally no one in the house dared to stop him.

The adjutant stopped me, but she just smiled and said: "Look at how tightly you hide people, such a good voice covering your mouth so that no one else can listen, I'm Boss Pei's drama fan, what he's doing is really good No reason!"

He also said: "Your second master has been locking people up, so you are not afraid of being locked up? Isn't it a good thing to have people of the same age to talk to her?"

What he said was so impeccable, the adjutant thought it was a bit reasonable after thinking about it.

After coming several times, the adjutant gradually relaxed his vigilance. He really thought that the two had become friends. Besides, when the two girls talked, he looked like a big man standing there, and there were maids in the room.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lishi would dare to pour medicine on Pei Qinyin.

It is said that the two little maids wanted to stop them at that time, but they were choked back by Jiang Lishi's personal maid:

"Who gave you the courage! Our girl will be the young mistress of the Qi family in the future!"

The maids were shocked.

The elders of the three clans wanted to match their granddaughter and the second young master together?

But after careful consideration, it made sense, the second young master had been relying on the elders of the three clans to ease the relationship with the family, and had no reason to object to this marriage.

Even if this Miss Pei in front of her gets attention, at most she is just an aunt, but Jiang Lishi in front of her will have the final say in the future of this family.

In front of such a character, what room do these little maids have to speak?

So, the bowl of medicine was poured down after all.

Qi Ye stood in front of the courtyard gate, his footsteps seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Pei Qinyin is obviously a person who values ​​drama more than life.

He walked into the room and saw Pei Qinyin sitting on the bed with her hands folded.

The adjutant followed in and whispered, "I've prescribed a few medicines, and I can still speak, but singing is just..."

His voice weakened, but Qi Ye had already understood what he meant.

Pei Qinyin's dull eyes made a hole in Qi Ye's numb heart.

After these years, many things can no longer touch him, but Pei Qinyin is the exception switch.

Just like he is sitting here now, but he can feel the despair of the medicine burning his throat and taking away all vitality.

"Xiaocao," Qi Ye took her hand, stared at the girl's face, and said in a low voice the delusion that had been buried in his heart for many years:

"Would you like to marry me."

Pei Qinyin's eyes finally moved, but she just withdrew her hand.

She spoke with a hoarse voice: "Qi Ye, do you think that the identity of Mrs. Qi is a gift?"

Qi Ye shook his head, but Pei Qinyin said flatly:

"I know that in the eyes of outsiders, my status even being your concubine is too high, but that's them."

"I can be an unknown little grass, I can be Pei Qinyin who is sought after by countless movie fans, but I can't be Mrs. Qi."

Pei Qinyin looked at Qi Ye and said softly, "Your surname will not add to my glory, it will only make people forget who I am."

Qi Ye understood Pei Qinyin's meaning from her eyes.

Many people in this world bend their waists when they are born, she relies on her full body skills to straighten her back in this world, but now the cornerstone of her standing has collapsed, and it is no longer possible for the two of them.

Because Pei Qinyin will never be anyone's subordinate.

Pei Qinyin's indifference to him wasn't the indifference she made half a year ago, but that it had really calmed down.

"Okay, I'll come up with a solution." Qi Ye avoided this answer and said stubbornly.

"Anyway, I'll restore your voice to its original state."
