Relief

"Why did I lie to you!" Wu Li said angrily, "Brother, am I such a shameless person? Besides, I lost my money just to find you for food and drink. Am I so mentally retarded?"

They walked through the lobby, Xie Zhixu looked at the counter: "Why don't we just cancel the previous room."

Wu Li: "That's enough, little brother! You can't be too brave in life, just keep your account, can't you return it to you when the brother returns! Don't be ashamed, let's go, if it's too late, we won't be able to catch up with Chun Zunxian's opening!"

Xie Zhixu remembered the entrance fee for the night show: "Chun Zun Present..."

Wu Li: "..."

Wu Li released a murderous aura.Xie Zhixu laughed: "Then I will advance the payment for senior brother first."

As soon as the front foot stepped out of the threshold of Fuyunju, a black shadow flew from Xie Zhixu's peripheral vision.

"Be careful!" He moved aside quickly with sharp eyes and hands, but Wu Li made the black shadow jump straight at him.

The black shadow charged swiftly without slowing down, seeing the two of them about to wrap up in a ball and fall on the threshold.The black shadow stopped quietly not an inch in front of Wu Li, and hugged Wu Li into the blackness with a bear hug.

"Brother Beggar! I finally found you! Brother Xie really didn't lie to me, you really live in Fuyunju!"

Xie Zhixu had already grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand reflexively. When he heard the voice sound familiar, he took a closer look and found that it was Yueguanshan who was wrapped in a black fur cloak.

Yue Guanshan hugged Wu Li, with tears on his face: "Brother Beggar, Xie Xie, in order to find you, I waited for two hours at the door of Fuyunju with the cold wind blowing! I was still hungry, and I only ate food all day. I bought five or six glutinous rice balls, brother beggar, I am sincere in asking for advice, so just obey me!"

Wu Li struggled to push Yueguan Mountain away: "What brother beggar, who are you called brother beggar!"

Yue Guanshan: "You are superb at beating dogs with one hand, how come you are not a member of the Beggar Clan? What's wrong with being honored as Brother Beggar?"

According to the logic of Yueguanshan, calling people the children of the Beggar Clan probably means praising them for their outstanding martial arts skills.

However, the guys at the entrance of Fuyunju really thought it was the beggar gang in the city, and several of them looked sideways.

Wu Li was furious: "Damn it! My surname is Wu Mingli, stop yelling at me!"

Xie Zhixuzheng felt strange, he could clearly see the hands that crossed the pass mountain to snatch the bamboo tube around Wu Li's waist before. Xiao Shiba's grasping technique is indeed intentional and probing.However, seeing that martial arts is really incomprehensible to martial arts, he quietly changed to the capture technique, and did not rob.

How could you come to me again?

"Brother Wu," Yue Guanshan changed his words, "Your tall and stalwart guard has really high internal strength, which I have never heard of outside the pass! As long as you allow me to fight him one or two times, Brother Wu can agree to any conditions! "

So that's the case, Xie Zhixu is clear, and nods himself.It seems that the senior brother ordered the fourth brother to spray across the Guanshan Mountain, which opened people's eyes, and now they are calling for battle.

Yue Guanshan hugged Wu Li by one leg, and was dragged by him towards the opposite door, Chun Zunxian.

A small servant at the door was holding a wooden tray, which was filled with silver taels, which was the fee for listening to the opera for Mr. Kong Xiren to sing Zhugong tunes in the restaurant.

Xie Zhixu put the share of the two brothers on the plate.

"This man didn't pay the money." Wu Li poked his finger on the top of Yueguan Mountain, "Quickly fork him out."

During the day, the waiter with a familiar face led the two of them upstairs to the private room.

Yueguanshan was stopped outside the door: "Brother Wu, thank you, wait for me—hey, don't push me, I have money, give it—"

The private room is still the one during the day, but the sky is dark, and the spring scenery of Taihu Lake with light makeup and heavy makeup in the distance can no longer be seen clearly, but the mottled lights lit up on the long street under the window are laid out for ten miles, the traffic is busy, and the night is bustling, which is another charm.

"Two guests, please wait a moment, Mr. Kong will come out soon," the waiter in the shop still remembered Xie Zhixu's inquiry during the day, and enthusiastically pointed them to several other private rooms on the second floor, "The first room from the left is Ma The richest man in Hongyunma, the first room on the right side of the door is Liu Yutang and Liu Yuanwai."

"Where's the Liang family?" Xie Zhixu asked.

"Hey, son, there is a saying here, although the small Liang family is the only big one in Taihu Lake, the Liang family village covers an area of ​​[-] mu. It produces and sells itself, and the village is named king. It has never bothered to be with us small people."

The waiter in the shop threw the rag on his shoulder and walked down the stairs.

Wu Li was peeling peanuts, squinting his eyes to look at the hanging sign on the stage, on which the title of the play was written in lower script with gold lacquer——Golden boy, jade girl, heavenly cooperation, lonely mute child suffering from hunger and cold.

"Hey, junior brother, look at the title of the play, it's interesting and interesting."

Xie Zhixu also squinted his eyes, looking at the rich man Ma and Yuanwai Liu in the private room on the left and right, but the screen blocked most of the sight.

"The cook, the coachman, and the old lady all used to work for a big family in Suzhou. Although I don't know which one it is, I think we can pay close attention to these few first. We may not know when the second brother will show his feet. Brother, you What do you think?"

Wu Li rubbed off his coat and threw the peanut into his mouth.

"Oh, the curtain has moved, and Mr. Kong is about to come out, please listen quickly, Junior Brother!"

Xie Zhixu rubbed his chin, thinking.

"However, there are only the two of us, and we can't monitor it. Besides, senior brother, you have already scared the snake. It's really difficult..."

One hand raised the curtain, and the restaurant went silent from top to bottom.

The chatting and laughing, the toasting and the food quietly died down for a while, and even the people going up and down the stairs stopped, careful to stop the creaking of the wooden planks.

In the silence, a scribe in a crimson gauze robe walked out from behind the scenes, with a soft scarf on his head and an ebony folding fan in his hand.

On the other side, a musician came out, holding a flute in his hand.

The two sat down on the two grand master chairs in the center of the stage.

The musician touched the flute hole with his fingers and brought them to his lips.Xie Zhixu heard the slight sound of breathing in and holding his breath from the corners around him.

Then—"Brother Wu, thank you! So you are here!"

Wu Li: "..."

Xie Zhixu: "..."

The musician's flute paused, then he put it down, and lowered his head to wipe the flute body.The onlookers immediately cast angry glances.

Yueguanshan didn't realize it, and excitedly stepped up to the second floor and went straight to the private room.

Wu Li simply has nothing to love: "No, I don't want to see this person."

Yueguan Mountain didn't look outside, he took a sip from the teacup immediately after sitting down, Wu Li's hand twitched a few times, but he didn't stretch it out in the end.

"I thought you were on the first floor, it was so hard for me to find!"

Xie Zhixu put his finger on his lips and said "shh, shhh" at him twice.

Yueguan Mountain didn't even look at it, and only said to Wu Li: "Brother Wu, as long as your guard can fight against me, I will agree to you no matter what the conditions are, okay? I have treated you very generously. But I don’t even have the chance to do so!”

Thanks for the help.

The guest sitting next to him finally couldn't help it, and knocked across the screen: "My little friend, please don't make any noise during Mr. Kong's special session."

Yue Guanshan said: "Okay, I'm sorry."

(We'll talk about that later.) He lip-synced to Wu Li again.

Wu Li turned his head and pretended not to see.

The stage play begins.The musician played the flute, and the strings twirled around the beams. On the high platform, in the eyes of everyone, the fan bone of Mr. Kong, who was dressed in a robe and scarf, hit the palm of his hand. At the beginning, there was a crisp voice that was as cool and delicate as a female voice, without any sand in it— —

"Where is the child born, and the hairpin tassel is handed down to the family. Life is floating in the world, like a stalk chasing the west and the east. The purple and red are competing on the moor, the birds are singing and the swallows are singing outside the window, and the flowers are all over the courtyard."

That voice was crisp and vivid, as bright and bright as glazed tiles, and the words were well-spoken, and the melodious sound of the flute was accompanied by a melodious flute, which sang endlessly and was refreshing.The lobby, smelling of wine and dishes, and cups and cups of wine, was suddenly drawn into the story of the play, and it was even quieter than before Mr. Kong sang.

Yue Guanshan originally wanted to sharpen his martial arts and agreed to his martial arts competition, impatiently twisting peanuts and eating until the end of the opera, but Mr. Kong's first libretto floated into his ears, as if he opened the door in response to the afternoon sun, and in an instant Clear and bright, it immediately grabbed Yueguanshan's attention.

"What...is this singing about?"

No one paid him any attention.

Xie Zhixu replied in a low voice: "Golden boy and jade girl are made in heaven, and the lonely mute child suffers from hunger and cold."

The state of the world is just like this, the jade girl chases the golden boy.Rivers and lakes, officials and officials, always interlinked.Playing silk and tasting bamboo is worthy of singing the moon and mocking the wind.The heavenly partner came to congratulate, exchanged cups and chopsticks, singing and laughing in the hall.One is like the thousand-foot waves of Taihu Lake, not the Liangmen style.

The flute sounded just right, taking back the last note.In the silence of the hall, Mr. Kong's ebony fan clattered open, and the singing became speech, entering the narration part of the play.

"Look, everything in the world is inferior, only money and power wins people's words. If you talk about Liangjiazhuang in Taihu Lake, no one knows this family. It's really a nobleman with hairpins, carved beams and painted buildings, kunyu inlaid with gold, glazed blue tiles covered with wise men. Besides Then, the river and lake guest on the island in the middle of the lake, who used to be a wealthy family, is slanting towards the west than the evening sun, and the dying candle melts into tears, and he will never go against his past wishes."

He also sang Xiao Chongshan: "There is a dream in the past, teach it to think secretly: If you have never been an official, how can you be worried?"

It is about the anecdote of the marriage between Liangjiazhuang and Huzhongdao.

Xie Zhixu noticed that many people in the building began to whisper.Gossip has always been the meaning of life, especially the gossip of wealthy families.

"What do you mean?" Wu Li also understood, and was very surprised, "The island in Taihu Lake, in order to revitalize the family, married his daughter to Liangjiazhuang. The young master of Liangjiazhuang is a playboy, marrying one concubine after another. At last, the backyard vying for favor, made the eldest wife's son poisonous and dumb. Since then, the husband and wife have been divorced and the family has broken up. Can this kind of high-ranking scandal spread out in the streets and alleys for people's entertainment? This Mr. Kong is not afraid that the Liang family will turn around and look for him. Do you come to settle accounts after autumn?"

Mr. Kong continued to sing and talk, talking about the eldest son of Liangjiazhuang whose voice was poisoned, because his mother felt ashamed and ordered him not to speak in front of outsiders.Occasionally, one day when the eldest son was playing with a friend of the same age, he accidentally opened his mouth, exposing his ugly voice, and his mother kept his mouth shut, forcing the whole family of that friend to leave their hometown.

Wu Li lay on the window and looked down: "I'm afraid that the Liang family will rush in with guns and sticks later, making this Mr. Kong disappear from the rap world."

A guest sitting next to the screen smiled and said: "This little friend doesn't know something, let alone tell a mere anecdote, even if Mr. Kong blatantly refuted the face of the Liang family, the Liang family can't do anything about him."

Xie Zhixu and Wu Li looked at each other in surprise, Xie Zhixu hurriedly asked: "Why?"

"Oh hehe, because Mr. Kong Xiren's real name is Liang Ting, and so is the eldest son of Liangjiazhuang himself."
