Chapter 156: Encounter(1/2)
☆★☆★☆★
The teahouse opposite Chuqing Hall is not an ordinary teahouse. To be precise, it is a place for rich people to come to.
The outside arrangement and layout of this teahouse called Pinxuanju is even more exquisite than that of Chuqing Hall. It has a unique carved attic, a small window-sided hall, and a rich and beautiful painted house in Jiangnan.
Just looking at the appearance, you can tell that it is a high-end place, not to mention that you can hear the sound of opera coming from it.
Liu Mingyu said that the biggest feature of this teahouse is that their family does not speak books and sing reviews, but invites the most famous opera troupe in Yanling to sing operas, and the Huadan and clowns are all first-class.
In my spare time, I would sit in the exquisitely decorated wing room, sip a cup of fragrant tea, order a opera, and combine it with the unique breeze and drizzle of Jiangnan. How comfortable it would be.
After hearing this, Lin Zhaoyan was speechless. After a long time, he turned his head and asked, "Are you sure this is a teahouse?"
The decoration is more like a brothel than the Chuqing Hall, so I won’t mention it. Why does the content in it sound so extravagant and unhealthy and uplifting?
Liu Mingyu patted her shoulder with a smile, "You also think this teahouse is very unique, don't you? Don't worry, you are my cousin, I will naturally take you to the best place, I'm very generous."
Lin Zhaoyan: “…”
Why did she think that Liu Wenjing and Liu Mingyu are just here to cheat them?
"Go in, go in, I'll click on my favorite one for you. That flower actress is very handsome! I once went to the backstage to see him. He is a male flower actress. She looks even better when she recovers from her male body! The seventh sister likes him!" Liu Mingyu became excited as he said, pulling Lin Zhaoyan and going in.
"It's so beautiful?" Lin Zhaoyan was a little suspicious and asked casually.
Liu Mingyu nodded repeatedly, "Of course! Otherwise, the seventh sister would always pester me to bring her over. If you don't believe me, I will take you to the backstage to see him, and you will definitely like him!"
Lin Zhaoyan shook his head with a smile, but suddenly saw a black figure at the entrance of Chuqingguan alley opposite him.
She was stunned.
Very familiar!
When I wanted to tell it carefully, the black shadow quickly disappeared in front of me.
"Let's go!" Liu Mingyu had already pulled her into the door.
Lin Zhaoyan subconsciously turned back to look at that place.
Could it be him?
This is in Yanling, so far from Shengjing.
It should just look alike!
Or is it just her hallucination?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but feel funny. What's wrong? He didn't like it to that extent. Can you see the phantoms?
She quickly shook her head and refused to think too much, but her heart was still affected by such a little.
So much so that when listening to the opera, Liu Mingyu brags about the male actress from the ground, but she doesn't even hear a word.
Until the end of the cheers of the outstanding people, Lin Zhaoyan didn't know what the actress who was described as so handsome by Liu Mingyu would look like.
Perhaps, there is someone in your heart. No matter how beautiful the rest of the people are, they are just a brilliant firework.
After reading it, I forgot it.
"How about it? Are you particularly beautiful?" Liu Mingyu asked her with bright eyes.
"Ah?" Lin Zhaoyan came back to his senses in a daze.
Liu Mingyu curled his lips, "Are you watching seriously? Why do you see you absent-minded?"
"I, I'm looking at it, I'm indeed pretty." Lin Zhaoyan lowered his head to hide his emotions.
Liu Mingyu laughed and said, "I'll just say it. I won't lie to you. How about it? Do you want to see how he looks like changing into men's clothes? I'll take you to the backstage and take a look!"
Lin Zhaoyan waved his hand quickly, "No need." She was not interested in the actress and didn't want to go to the backstage to peek at her dress-up.
Liu Mingyu was still excited, "I performed the drama just now, and I fully demonstrated Mu Guiying's beauty and domineeringness. I am worthy of being the one I admire!"
Lin Zhaoyan glanced at her speechlessly, "Do you think it's appropriate for you, a married woman, to talk about the man next to you like this?"
Although Liu Mingyu has not yet been married, he has already been married.
"Oh, everyone has a love for beauty!" Liu Mingyu pushed her and blinked her eyes, "Besides, I'm for the sake of Qimei. Another day, I'll suggest to my grandmother to invite this actress to come to our mansion to sing songs and create a chance for Qimei. I heard that he will be pried away by the pear blossom house in Shengjing, and I won't have the chance to see him again in the future!"
Lihua Pavilion is a very famous gang in Shengjing who sings operas. It travels to various high-ranking officials and nobles to perform, and is often invited to the palace to perform.
Being able to enter the Peach Blossom Hall is probably the biggest wish of actors of this dynasty.
Everyone is climbing up. Since this male actress was selected by the Lihua Pavilion, it proves that she has extraordinary strength and is probably unwilling to stick to this small town.
Lin Zhaoyan understood what Liu Mingyu meant.
She probably didn't really want Liu ** to be with this actor.
But the object of obsession with when I was young will eventually have a formal break.
If the actor left inexplicably, Liu ** would probably be very sad!
"On that day, I will help you cover up." Lin Zhaoyan smiled and blinked at Liu Mingyu.
Liu Mingyu also giggled and hugged her very affectionately, "Zhaoyan, I really think you are different from your return this time. Is it because you also have someone you like?"
Lin Zhaoyan's face turned red uncontrollably.
Liu Mingyu widened his eyes, "Really? Do you really have someone you like? Who!"
"No, don't talk nonsense." Lin Zhaoyan glared at her, his cheeks still flushed, "If you ask this question, you will feel a little embarrassed if you feel a little embarrassed!"
"Oh." Liu Mingyu shook his head regretfully.
Lin Zhaoyan's face was still a little red. In order to prevent Liu Mingyu from asking questions unyieldingly, she quickly changed the subject, "You said, why haven't Ruoyan and his third cousin come out yet? We've finished listening to this drama."
Liu Mingyu was naturally distracted, "Hey, you don't understand. Do you think it's so easy to see a beauty, just go in and see it?" She looked like a person who had experienced it, "Especially for this courtesan, it's even more difficult. I don't think about it if Liu Wenjing doesn't ruin a fortune, and I don't think about it. She can be a woman with the second prince!"
Second Prince?
Lin Zhaoyan suddenly realized.
She remembered it. She said why Mo Shuang is so familiar!
Last time, Xiao Ming was beaten at the entrance of Zuihua Tower. Isn’t it because of this Moshuang?
What the people in Shengjing said was that Mo Shuang was a person that many high-ranking officials and nobles flocked to, and even the second prince fell under her pomegranate skirt.
At that time, she only thought that the aunt was exaggerating, but she didn't expect it to be true.
This Mo Shuang is so popular even when she comes to Yanling, and she can actually make the serious young master try every means to see her.
But it's really amazing.
"If the third cousin is so impulsive, we should stop him. Why do you even instigate him specifically?" Lin Zhaoyan thought so and felt a little regretful.
She used to think that Mo Shuang was just an ordinary brothel prostitute, but she thought that Liu Wenjing would not have any major problems. Besides, she was not his mother, and there was no reason to manage so much, so she let her develop.
But now when I think back on this incident, Mo Shuang can make Xiao Ming be beaten for her. No matter how you look at it, she is a beauty-related person.
Liu Wenjing won’t cause any trouble, right?
Looking at Lin Zhaoyan's eyebrows tightly tangled into a ball, Liu Mingyu quickly comforted her, "Don't worry. Liu Wenjing is still responsible. He sneaked out this time. If something happens to him, do you think his grandfather and grandmother will let him out again? He is not a fool, so he naturally knows to restrain himself."
Lin Zhaoyan was still a little worried, "No, I have to go to Chuqingguan to shout them out."
She had no good feelings for Mo Shuang in her heart.
Liu Mingyu raised his hand to stop her, looking slow, "Just rest assured. You have been absent-minded from the beginning. It's so boring to say it's so boring. I tell you that Chu Qingguan is not an ordinary brothel. It requires people with some status to enter. The girls inside will not be as shameless as ordinary brothels. They are very well-educated, so it's okay for them to be in it. Besides, let's talk about it, let's give her a long experience. Otherwise, you will go back to Shengjing and marry someone in the future. Not to mention that you are going to a brothel, it's difficult to drink tea and watch the show as leisurely as you are now? I heard that the people in Shengjing are as sieve as they are, how terrible!"
Lin Zhaoyan had nothing to say, but his brows were frowning, obviously he couldn't listen to Liu Mingyu's words.
Liu Mingyu understood that these young ladies who were educated and raised since childhood had completely different thoughts from those of them, the "splashing monkeys" who grew up with free-rangeness.
She looked at Lin Zhaoyan with anxiety and felt uncomfortable, so she had to say, "How about you stay here, I'll go see it for you!"
Lin Zhaoyan glanced at her dress and frowned and said, "Isn't this suitable? After all, not many people know me in Yanling. When I return to Shengjing, no one knows where I have been, but you are different. You have just gotten married and should have stayed quietly in the boudoir. If someone sees it, your reputation will be ruined. What will the husband's family see you at that time."
Liu Mingyu grinned, "Don't worry, I'm a relative with my cousin, and my aunt likes me so much. Grandfather said that she was my virtue when she was young! The most important thing is that my aunt married Changnan from afar and wouldn't know what I did in Yanling!"
Lin Zhaoyan was amused by her words, but she was sincerely happy for her.
Among these ancient women, Liu Mingyu truly lived out because of the protection from all sides. Her life was destined to be smooth and bright.
So after this agreement, Liu Mingyu went to the Chuqing Pavilion to find Lin Ruoyan and Liu Wenjing, and Lin Zhaoyan stayed quietly in the teahouse and waited.
Another scene began to be staged on the stage.
He sang the very famous farewell mystery.
Yu Ji was charming and weak, with long and charming eyes like silk, and the water waves in her eyes were flowing, expressing her love for Xiang Yu in a whisper.
Through his thick and colorful makeup, Lin Zhaoyan can see his clear and gentle facial features.
I guess this one is the male actress Liu Mingyu mentioned.
He looks really good and acts well.
She held the cup of fragrant tea and started to look at it boredly.
When the plot developed to the point where Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, was forced into a desperate situation, and Yu Ji drew out his long sword and committed suicide, a fierce cheer burst out from the stands.
Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but moisten his eyes.
To be continued...
