Republic of China drama

Jiang Wanwan held a stack of newspapers, and as soon as she studied them, she continued to study until the third day, Master Gu's birthday.

It was an inconvenient day, and her class was suspended.

Jiang Wanwan was bored with things to do, but her green sleeves were ruined.

She didn't have any sense of dignity, so she offered to ask: "Shall I teach you how to read? Although I don't learn much myself."

"I don't want to learn." Lu Xiu flatly refused, "Literacy is difficult and boring, and it's useless for me to learn."

"Okay." After Jiang Wanwan finished speaking, she lowered her head and read the book again.

Lu Xiu came over and took her arm: "Miss San didn't let us go out, but she didn't let us look outside, let's pierce the window paper and see what's going on outside?"

Luxiu likes to be lively, and it really bores her in the house.

"This..." Jiang Wanwan hesitated.

She didn't want to brush off Lu Xiu's intentions, and with Miss San, Lu Xiu was her second friend, but she didn't like to be so lively in her temperament, and besides, she still had books to read...

"Let's go, let's go to the kang to have a look, and we won't be found." Luxiu pulled her, "I saw someone hanging red lanterns in the yard yesterday. This year's old man's birthday banquet is held grandly, so it must be beautiful outside."

"...Okay." Jiang Wanwan compromised, anyway, she was tired from studying from morning to afternoon, so it's good to have a rest once in a while.

Luxiu climbed onto the kang, poking a hole in the window paper with his index finger.

Seeing that Jiang Wanwan was embarrassed, she also poked a small hole for her: "Okay, if the third lady asks, just say that I did it. Anyway, I have tried all the punishment methods of the third lady."

Jiang Wanwan couldn't help laughing at her appearance as a habitual offender.

Looking outside, there are indeed two rows of red lanterns hanging neatly outside, and the green sleeves are smiling, happy when there is excitement.

Jiang Wanwan really couldn't understand Lu Xiu's happiness, but when she saw her smiling at her, she showed a clean smile.

Lu Xiu looked back again, his face suddenly changed.

"Wan, Wan Wan," she tightened her throat, "someone is here."

"Ah?" Jiang Wanwan leaned over to look, "Who is it?"

"Gu, the little boy next to the master." The green sleeve's tongue could hardly be straightened, "He is ruthless, what should we do, how about we hide under the bed?"

Jiang Wanwan really saw five or six middle-aged men approaching, with direction and purpose, coming this way.

They were all strong and strong, and the leader was holding a black thing that looked like a whip in his hand, and his intentions were not good.

Jiang Wanwan was thinking about what Gu Qingying said, and shook her head: "As long as they don't come in, everything is easy to talk about."

It's a lie not to panic, she herself said with a trembling voice, but right now, panic is the most useless.

Lu Xiu and her got off the kang, looked at each other, and stood against the wall in a tacit understanding, staring at the carved wooden door, ready to be a shrinking turtle.

At worst, play dead.

In the next second, there was a "bang", and there was a sound of breaking the door.

A rough male voice, with a bit of ruthlessness: "I will go in and get someone, or you will come out, choose yourself."

During the birthday banquet, there is no need to mention the exchange of cups and cups.

At nightfall, according to Gu Qingying's plan, they changed three venues from noon to night and then dispersed. Unexpectedly, Gu Youlin became excited again, saying that he would go to the theater to listen to the opera.

In this way, it will take a while longer, but Shou Xing opened his mouth, so it is not easy to lose face.

When we arrived at the theater building, the venue had already been prepared, just waiting for them to come.

Lu Qingying glanced at Gu Youlin, but he was open-minded, and sometimes looked at Lu Qingying with a sarcastic look, as if he meant something.

Most likely it was about Jiang Wanwan, there were so many guests today, but because of Miss San's status and means, no one dared to mention her affair.

People from the troupe stepped onto the stage one after another.

Lu Qingying faintly sensed something was wrong.

Not to mention that Gu Youlin changed his mind temporarily, he booked the entire stage in advance, not on a temporary basis, but a long-awaited plan.

She took advantage of the chaos when entering the arena to notice that the most ruthless old butler beside Gu Youlin was still there, and there was probably nothing wrong with the old house, so she reluctantly settled down and listened to the play.

Due to the etiquette of the birthday banquet, Gu Qingying did not go to the house, and it was not appropriate to have too much public interaction with Xiang Xing, so Gu Youlin asked someone to put Gu Tingtao's seat next to Gu Qingying's seat: "You two brothers and sisters have not seen each other for more than half a year, let's catch up on the old days , don't lose your feelings."

"Yes, father." Gu Qingying pretended to be filial.

After finishing speaking, she rested her arms lazily on the wooden chair and sat under the stage to listen.

What was sung on the stage was an empty city plan.

She frowned, and casually asked Gu Tingtao, the eldest brother beside her, "How can you sing such a play at today's birthday party?"

It's always unlucky.

Gu Tingtao's complexion didn't change, he didn't look at her and didn't speak, maybe he heard her or not.

Lu Qingying turned her head back, and when her eyes flicked past Gu Youlin, she vaguely saw the smile on his face.

There are some truths and some falsehoods, and some falsehoods and some realities.

Under the dim old foreign lamps, it was eerie.

The stage is babbling and singing,

"Prepare Sima Hao to garrison troops,

Zhuge Liang has no other respect,

Prepare lambs and wine early,

Reward your three armies,

Now that you are here, you should enter the city,

Why hesitate and hesitate,

For what reason.

There are two Qin boys on the left and right,

I have neither ambushes nor soldiers,

Don't let your mind wander,

Come, come, please come to the city and listen to me play the piano

......"

According to the rules in the theater building, there is a large basin of hot water and a few pieces of foreign soap at the front desk, and Xiao Er is waving the handle of the washed towel, flying around like a juggler.

The little second threw it accurately, and shouted "I caught you", as soon as the words fell, the people in the audience caught it firmly.

Hand towel handles, candy cases and waiters, these are the old customs of listening to operas.

It used to be interesting to see these things, but for some reason, Gu Qingying felt extremely uncomfortable today, her messy thoughts were tangled together, tangled into a mess of threads, and she couldn't find her head.

She casually raised her eyes to look at the stage, her thoughts drifting away.

After the scene was changed, Gu Youlin, who had been sitting still, finally moved, tilted his head and talked to the handsome man next to him.

Immediately he got up and followed the young man to leave the audience, not knowing what he was going to do.

Lu Qingying can also guess that he is addicted to opium, and he is often accompanied by coughing when he speaks a few words on weekdays, and this addiction is so deep that he will have to take a puff soon.

Now I can't bear it anymore.

This kind of thing that hurts people deeply, it is difficult to get rid of it once it is touched, and it will kill him sooner or later.

"Sister." After seeing his father walking away, Gu Tingtao called out to Gu Qingying softly.

Because he has been in the army all the year round, Gu Tingtao still sits upright even though he is not too young, and looks very energetic.

Lu Qingying came back to her senses: "What's wrong, big brother?"

Gu Tingtao approached Lu Qingying calmly, his voice was as calm as a chat: "I have never missed a chance to remind you, old mansion, that something happened to the actor you brought back, and you will know when you go back. I have prepared the car for you, you follow The boy walks through the back door, and I will take care of it first."

With a thud in her heart, she immediately woke up.

really.

Lu Qingying took a deep look at Gu Tingtao: "Brother, I'll go first, thank you this time."

Then she got up in a hurry and went to the back door.
